Chapter 530 Ten Million

In-game.

Shadow Valley.

Jiang Lun looked at the players all over the mountains and was stunned for

a long time. It took a long time for him to recover.

But to be honest.

Although I really want to complain, it is a lie to say that seeing so many players only makes you feel outrageous and want to complain.

One of the most important attributes of MMORPG is also social.

For online games like this, the more people play, the more excited most players will be.

Few players will feel unhappy because there are too many people in the online game.

Because the attributes of online games are there.

There is a situation that will give many players a headache.

That is some buyout games, such as Lin Yao's previous life "Rainbow Six" and the like, when they are free every week.

Because too many new players pour in, it will break the original ecology and the entire game environment will be hit.

At this time, having too many players is not a good thing.

Just like Lin Yao played ten games of "Rainbow Six" and killed a teammate... This is not a good experience for teammates and opponents.

But this situation cannot be applied to "World of Warcraft". After all, the game has just been publicly tested, and players are all on the same starting line. The ecosystem has not yet been established.

Not to mention breaking it.

There are a little more people in "World of Warcraft" now, but it's lively!

In addition to complaining, Jiang Lun was actually quite excited to see so many players.

So Jiang Lun smiled and quickly cheered up. He also jumped on the spot for a while. After getting familiar with the operation, he ran to the NPC with an exclamation mark not far away.

The name of the NPC is "Administrator Ilsalain".

Jiang Lun squeezed through a group of players, then clicked on the NPC and received his first task in the game.

The initial task is called "Natural Balance", and there is no long story background. It

's very simple.

The entire task description can be simply summarized as-because of the continuous spring rain this year, some animals in Shadow Valley have over-proliferated. In order to achieve natural balance, the number of some animals needs to be reduced.

The task requirements are to require players to kill seven leopard cubs and four wild boar cubs.

Simple and clear.

After receiving the task, Jiang Lun familiarized himself with his druid skills.

There is only one active output skill, [Anger].

After reading the introduction,

Jiang Lun immediately turned around and couldn't wait to try it.

I have to say.

The location of the night elves is really beautiful.

Even the birthplace.

The undulating mountainous terrain, after the perspective is zoomed in, every time you walk to a high point, you can see a different scenery.

A little closer, you can see the green grass on the ground, and the small flowers that are either crimson or lavender hidden in the straight grass.

And a little further away, you can see the densely scattered towering trees and low trees with red and purple leaves.

Looking around, the main color of the entire map is always purple, under the background of light and shadow.

The scenery that catches the eye is just like the night elves, full of mystery.

Of course.

All of the above.

You have to ignore the players to feel it...

because there are really too many people.

No matter how beautiful the picture is, plus a bunch of players jumping around like the ground is hot, it will become very silly.

And.

Jiang Lun realized a serious problem...

Although the task was to kill wild boars and leopard cubs,

there were no wild boars or leopards anywhere. Oh, you could see one occasionally, but almost as soon as it was refreshed, it would be surrounded by a bunch of people.

It was gone almost instantly.

Because no one knew how to play.

Jiang Lun witnessed with his own eyes that a wild boar cub was refreshed.

Then seven or eight green lights of anger skills flew over.

After the wild boar fell to the ground,

a bunch of players immediately surrounded it excitedly.

To see who had the right to pick up the monster's drops.

Just like locusts... It

was simply inhumane...

At the same time,

on the comprehensive channel,

the words sent by players were scrolling wildly.

"Fuck! Don't fight for the wild boar! I felt like I was the first one to kill it! Why didn't I look closer and see that it wasn't me!"

"Pig! I'm only one short! Give me some face! Don't fight for it!"

"The scenery is so beautiful..."

"Ah - which idiot is jumping off the building!?"

Jiang Lun: "..."

The corner of his mouth twitched.

Jiang Lun glanced at his task and thought about the natural balance the NPC just mentioned.

He couldn't help but complain.

This is called natural balance! ?

Wild boars and leopards are almost extinct, right?

Jiang Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In the past, he read some online game novels that said that the novice village had to fight for monsters, and he thought it was a bit outrageous.

But today.

He experienced it firsthand. When the number of players reached a certain level, the novice monsters really needed to be snatched...

Jiang Lun sighed slightly, and then joined the queue to snatch monsters.

He began to compete with other players.

But it was really too difficult.

But it was okay.

Perhaps Linmu Studio also knew the current situation. After snatching for a while, Jiang Lun clearly realized that the refresh speed of novice monsters had become faster. Then

, when he was performing the little drama in his mind just now, many players with clear goals had completed the novice tasks and diverted some people away.

So although the novice monsters still needed to be snatched.

But at least he completed it.

Jiang Lun killed the last leopard cub, and immediately rushed back to the initial NPC like the wind, handed in the old task, and then received the new task.

Then, Jiang Lun walked a few steps according to the prompt. He

found the destination of the new task-Odashir.

On the thick tree trunk like a giant, the house was built in the air. Outside the house, the light white stairs spiraled up and led directly to the top floor.

There are still many players here.

Countless players were running around on the light white stairs, and there were also sand sculptures performing somersaults on them...

Jiang Lun's mouth twitched again, and then he also did somersaults... Then he walked up the stairs.

The long, wide light white stairs seemed to have no end.

Going up to the first floor.

The scenery changed.

The sight suddenly became clear.

Jiang Lun couldn't help but stop.

The violet roof hidden in the mist of the jungle appeared in front of him. In the near distance, there were elegant curved eaves and brackets, and in the distance, huge tree trunks blocked out the sky and were shrouded in misty mist. It

was really beautiful!

Jiang Lun looked into the distance and couldn't help but stop.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He wanted to put the leveling thing aside for a while and wanted to go around and take a look first!

The name of this game is "World of Warcraft".

The focus is on "world".

At present, the quality of the game is really worthy of the word world.

At least the night elf race he chose and their place of residence left a deep impression on him.

Even if it was just a corner of Teldrassil, he could feel the unique culture of the night elves, and even had an impression of elegance and mystery about the entire night elves.

Are other places like this?

Jiang Lun suddenly became curious.

But soon.

He was interrupted by a stupid player.

A player suddenly jumped down from the stairs and performed a leap of faith.

"What a stupid!"

Jiang Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After cursing, he retracted his gaze and continued to go up and found the NPC druid trainer.

Then he handed in the task of "Green Symbol".

Then

the skill learning panel was selected.

Druids seemed to be divided into factions, three skills for the balance faction, and two skills for the recovery faction.

Jiang Lun carefully read the skill description, and then learned the beast mark that could be learned at present, and then looked at the scenery for a while, and then went down to continue killing wild boars and leopards.

Yes.

There is a follow-up task for "Natural Balance".

But this time it is not to kill cubs, but to kill adult leopards and wild boars.

Kill the small ones and then kill the big ones.

It's simply crazy!

According to the current number of players.

It's really going to be extinct...

Jiang Lun complained again, and then he avoided places with many players and walked around.

While looking for wild monsters, he also enjoyed the scenery.

He was not impatient. It was a pleasant surprise to see monsters, and he was happy to see the scenery when there were no monsters.

Because there were new discoveries every time, and you could see new scenery as you walked!

The map was very large.

But details can be seen everywhere!

And for the first time, he felt the gap between Tianhu and Linmu Studio.

Tianhu... It's not unfair to lose.

He is also an old player of "Shenge", but this kind of feeling that made him give up the task quickly in the early stage has never happened to him, whether he played "Shenge" or other MMORPGs under Tianhu.

"It's so beautiful..."

Jiang Lun stood still, and then adjusted his perspective to look at the surrounding scenery for a while.

Just after he finished sighing.

A rogue night blade leopard next to him refreshed.

He immediately regained his mind and came up with a "anger"...

Jiang Lun walked and stopped like this, and spent half an hour, finally killing enough monsters, and ran to hand in the task.

Then, he finally reached level three.

Jiang Lun followed the task reminder and returned to Odrassil, the most spectacular building in Shadowvale.

But this time, he did not go up the pale white stairs to find the druid trainer, but came to the first floor. He

walked onto the platform.

Then, the semi-enclosed space under the tree trunk that merged with the living tree appeared in front of him.

It was an open hall with a very high dome.

And going further inside, there was another world.

The night elves even opened a room inside the tree trunk. The ground was the tree stump, and the tree rings on it were clearly visible.

Jiang Lun looked at this scene and suddenly thought of the Deku Tree Elder in "The Legend of Zelda".

"Did they really make a world?"

Jiang Lun turned around and talked to a few NPCs. His desire to go around and see the scenery became stronger.

He thought about it, found the NPC, sold the materials dropped by the monsters, and then bought a set of "cool spring water" and three or four "bean soups".

Then he went out to accept the task.

He did it right away.

He planned to visit Shadow Valley first.

This time, Jiang Lun received two tasks, one of which was "good friends", which required him to find friends for the NPC near the cave in the north of Shadow Valley, and the other was "forest guardian", which required him to find a tree demon.

On the way, he received another task of "bringing back the spider venom sac in the woods".

All three tasks required him to go out.

This was exactly what Jiang Lun wanted.

So after getting everything done, he immediately embarked on the journey excitedly.

On the way.

Jiang Lun opened the map and took a look. He found that the Shadow Valley he was in was only a corner of the world map, not to mention Teldrassil...

He didn't know where the goal of the mission was, so he began to explore the map with the village of Ordrassil as the center.

Behind the village.

Jiang Lun saw a small white lake with ripples on the lake, and the silver light like snowflakes sprinkled on the water.

Although the water was clear, it was so deep that the bottom of the lake could not be seen.

To the north, Jiang Lun went all the way and found the NPC of the good friend mission, and also found a picture called Black Silk Cave.

Players came in and out.

There were several spiders the size of a human head at the entrance of the cave with their eight legs facing the sky, and the corpses seemed to have not had time to refresh.

After entering the Black Silk Cave, the passages led in all directions.

Although it was just a picture of a novice village, it had a sense of depth that many main cities of the same type of games did not have.

Jiang Lun robbed monsters with a group of players here, and then completed the task of "bringing back the spider venom sac in the woods" and learned the new skill Moonfire.

During this time, he met the NPC of the "Forest Guardian" quest...

Jiang Lun was sightseeing, leveling up, and completing quests at the same

time. He ran all over Shadowvale.

Then, when he finally received the quest to leave the village, he couldn't wait to follow the path of Shadowvale and walked out of Shadowvale in the valley. He

began to look for more surprises and scenery!

And as he searched, in the end... he couldn't even take care of the quest.

Southeast of Shadowvale, Jiang Lun saw the once peaceful Starwind Village, now the lair of the bear monsters. Although there were many monsters, the pavilion in the middle of the village was still bathed in the eternal moonlight, and the scenery was beautiful.

Going further, he saw the night elf village of Dolanar in the middle of the island. In the moon well of Dolanar, the clear blue light floated and dispersed, like a wisp of light smoke.

Continue forward, walk upward, above the island, there is a place called Oracle Forest, where the trees are dense and taller, and nearby, there is a place called Yongquan River Mouth, where there is a waterfall. Jiang Lun stayed there for a while, looking at the purple water splashing from the waterfall, looking at the twisted roots of varying thicknesses on the ground, covering all the surface space, and sighed.

Then, return to the main road.

Along the main road, Jiang Lun saw the largest and most spectacular city of the night elves, located on the branches of Teldrassil, hidden in the towering trees - Darnassus!

Here.

For the first time, Jiang Lun felt that fantasy was so close to him. The moment he saw the city, he exclaimed directly.

"Fuck!"

Then, he ran around like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, and then looked at the city that was integrated with nature and sighed frequently.

Yes.

He had dropped all the tasks, and he temporarily put them aside after leaving Shadow Valley and only cared about sightseeing.

And the end of this sightseeing trip.

Jiang Lun was really satisfied.

It's been a great journey!

Jiang Lun sighed as he walked around Darnassus, the capital of the night elves, and talked to the NPCs.

At this time, he had almost opened the map of the entire night elf settlement, and he also understood the map of Teldrassil.

In the entire Teldrassil, Darnassus occupies the western part.

And several smaller cities are scattered in the forest.

There are various terrains, streams and large lakes here...

It is shrouded in purple mist all year round and locked in the eternal dawn.

The night elves living here have their own culture, political system, language, beliefs and resources.

"World of Warcraft..."

Jiang Lun stood in the center of the capital Darnassus, looked around, and sighed: "It's really a 'world'! ! Damn!!! This is still a race of night elves. Does this mean that the cities of other races will be like the cities of night elves? With different scenery, different culture, beliefs, and political system?" Thinking of

this, he couldn't help but open the map and take a look.

Teldrassil, where the night elves are, is just an island.

On the other side of the foggy sea that separated the island was a new continent - Kalimdor.

Looking at the world map

and thinking about his recent sightseeing trip,

Jiang Lun's heart became more and more excited.

He wanted to see other cities! He wanted to see the "World of Warcraft" which was still shrouded in fog!

He wanted to go to Stormwind City to see the capital of mankind, and wanted to see Ironforge that appeared in the trailer!

He even wanted to see the cities of the tribe, such as the hometown of Arthas!

In short, he wanted to explore this "world"!

Very strong!

"I'm burning!"

Jiang Lun was really burning. He looked at the quest log and turned around and ran.

He was ready to end the sightseeing and complete the tasks he had left behind.

He wanted to upgrade!

In Lin Yao's previous life, Darnassus, known as one of the most unforgettable cities in World of Warcraft, stimulated him.

The main city of the night elves, which has its own culture, political system, language, beliefs and resources, left a deep impression on him.

Then he became interested in the entire "World of Warcraft".

And the entire "World of Warcraft" is still mysterious and unknown to him.

This represents a huge surprise!

An unknown and huge world, it feels like an epic story is coming!

Jiang Lun wants to create his own epic!

"I can't go back! I really can't go back! I bought a year's worth of points directly! Night Elf Darnassus! It's really awesome! Shit! Why didn't Linmu Studio make an MMORPG earlier!"

At this time,

Jiang Lun, who was going out, suddenly passed by several players.

Then,

on the comprehensive channel, this sentence suddenly popped up.

Jiang Lun saw it, smiled, stopped, and quickly typed a sentence and posted it on the comprehensive channel - "Linmu Studio is awesome!!!"

As soon as this sentence was sent out,

it seemed that many players saw it.

And they quite agreed.

So the next second,

other players followed suit and refreshed the screen.

Comprehensive channel.

All the same sentence.

"Linmu Studio is awesome!!!"

...

At the same time.

North America.

Ohio.

"Shit!"

Zebulon sighed and walked into Stormwind City.

On the only road leading to Stormwind City.

Statues of heroes stood on both sides of the road, as if greeting and warning visitors.

Then, enter the largest human city in Azeroth.

Like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, Xibulon was too busy to care about the mission and began to appreciate the largest human city in World of Warcraft.

The center of Stormwind City is the trade zone.

Half of the city's banks, auction houses and local griffon managers are here.

To the east of the trade zone is the old city, to the west is the mage zone, to the east is the dwarf zone, and to the north is the church square.

The entire city is divided into areas in an orderly manner, separated by canals and connected by bridges.

Xibulon ran all over the city and finally stopped at the church square.

Like Jiang Lun, his first thought was to go to other areas. He

developed a strong interest in this unknown and huge world.

"I have a hunch."

Xibulon controlled the perspective and looked into the distance: "Other games of the same type are going to be bad. Even I, a player who mainly plays single-player games, have developed a strong interest in the game after entering the game, not to mention those MMORPG players.

Linmu Studio has made enough preparations for this game..."

His thoughts stopped here.

Xibulon suddenly thought of his good brother Mark, who worked in the gaming media, and was a little curious.

He cut out the game, found Mark, and sent him a message: "Hey, buddy, how are you going to rate World of Warcraft?"

"Why are you here too? How long has the game been in public beta? The rating hasn't been determined yet, and there's still a debate."

Mark's reply came quickly.

"Because someone doesn't like this game?" Xibulon continued to ask curiously.

Mark: "That's not the case. It's mainly because our editor-in-chief is a hardcore MMORPG player. He insists on giving the game a ten-point score right now, and wants us to give a ten-point score and a corresponding review right now... Damn it! We only played the game for four hours! He wants us to give a review!"

Xibulon: "..."

...

That day.

After the launch of World of Warcraft, the number of people online at the same time has been steadily increasing.

And that night, during the prime time in China.

The number of people online at the same time on all servers in all regions of World of Warcraft finally officially exceeded 10 million!

At this time, it was less than twelve hours before the game was publicly tested...

Seeing this number, Lin Yao didn't feel anything, but just felt happy.

Because in her previous life, World of Warcraft had 13 million players online at the same time, not counting the national server.

Now it has only exceeded 10 million.

The number is still rising.

There is no need to make a fuss.

However,

this is only for her.

For the staff inside Linmu Studio.

This result... is earth-shattering.

After all, the game has just been publicly tested!

So the staff of Linmu Studio are very excited.

But for his peers... it's not so good.

Linmu Studio sent out a screenshot of "World of Warcraft" with more than 10 million concurrent online users at 9 o'clock.

And at 9:01.

Li Guangsheng hugged his head and began to wail...

and on the screen in front of him, "World of Warcraft" was playing.

The Tauren he created was standing stupidly at the gate of the Tauren's capital, Mulgore.

In fact, for him, it was okay for "World of Warcraft" to have more than 10 million concurrent online users. After all, Linmu Studio is well-known and has returned to the online game field after a long absence. He can accept such a result.

If the game's seven-day retention rate is not released for one day, he can lie to himself and say that the data may drop sharply after seven days.

But the problem is -

he played the game.

After being a Tauren in Thunder Bluff for half a day, he deeply realized the gap between his MMORPG and "World of Warcraft", which is why he was holding his head and wailing.

I really can't beat him!

I can't even fool myself!

Beside Li Guangsheng,

Mou Feng was also silent.

He also played the game, and was also hit hard, so he could only admit defeat.

So at this moment, he really didn't know what to say.

He didn't know how to fool... comfort his childhood friend.

Finally. After

holding it in for a long time.

He could only pat Li Guangsheng on the shoulder and said: "How about... you play "Diablo" for a while to calm down?"

"——Get out!!!"

Li Guangsheng collapsed instantly!

Fuck!

Killing people is not so cruel! ?

While the double bonus is still there, I'll ask for some more monthly tickets...
