Thanks to SaltyFat's invention, hunting rabid dogs is now as easy as playing a game for players.
It's not difficult at all.
Because players act in groups.
Even a rabid dog can't fight off a bunch of hands on four legs.
Moreover, the players nowadays are a collective, so we can't just let the players on the front lines level up, right? Logistics are just as important.
We must ensure that everyone receives the benefits.
Harmonious development is of utmost importance.
Today's player meeting is to discuss the next course of action.
Should we continue exploring forward, or take other actions?
Let's vote to decide the players' future strategy.
After eating for a while to replenish their energy, everyone chatted and joked around, talking about all sorts of random things.
Seeing that the time was right, Hydra stood up and went to the very center of the circle formed by the players.
Hydra currently enjoys a good reputation among players, and he's usually the one leading the raids. He's quite popular among players.
He is now the first to speak.
"Brothers, our pioneering work has been going on for a week now. So far, the only monsters we've encountered are rabid dogs and some small animals. We haven't found any other monsters, such as the Flame Chicken City Hunters from before. The purpose of today's player meeting is to discuss our next steps."
Hydra, holding his beloved wooden trumpet, gave a simple opening speech.
"At present, we have two directions. The first is to continue to explore the land ahead, because we have been using this approach before and are quite familiar with it."
"The second option is to divide our forces, prioritizing efficiency. As things stand, our efficiency..."
"Bang bang tie!"
Before Hydra could speak, a crisp sound of wood being struck reached the ears of every player.
"This is... a signal of an enemy attack!"
One by one, the players stood up!
"Damn it!" Hydra slammed his wooden trumpet to the ground in a fit of despair. "Why does something always go wrong when I'm halfway through a sentence?!"
"Because your nature is fixed—you always mess things up halfway through a sentence," Wang Ergouzi muttered under his breath. "We're used to it."
The players nearby burst into laughter upon hearing Wang Ergouzi's rant.
"That makes perfect sense! Hahaha!"
The beta testers are all excellent game developers, and they didn't forget to assign sentries during the player conference.
When the players were building Tiandao Village, they created a relatively hidden lookout tower on the tallest house at the village entrance.
One reason is that he can monitor the surroundings at any time, and another reason is that he looks handsome.
And now, this lookout tower has finally served its purpose.
When everyone gathered at the player convention, Hydra specially arranged for a Wood Elf player with good eyesight to go up and keep watch.
The banging sound was the signal given by the sentry.
Everyone initially thought Hydra was being overly cautious, but it turned out to be quite useful.
After the Wood Elf player rang the alarm, he took out a megaphone similar to the Hydra's and shouted loudly.
"Monsters are attacking!!! A massive horde of rabid dogs is coming!!! Everyone, prepare yourselves!!!"
Meanwhile, all players in Tiandao Village, including the Sentinels, received a regional quest.
"Urgent Mission: Monster Siege"
"Mission Description: Due to the players' rampant hunting of rabid dogs, the Rabid Dog King has found Tiandao Village by following the scent of its clansmen and is about to launch a revenge attack."
"Mission objective: Protect the Heavenly Dao Altar. If the Heavenly Dao Altar is damaged, congratulations to all players, your accounts are all gone."
"Task Reward: Level Up".
"My account is gone again!!! Is this punishment really necessary?!" one player lamented.
"Is this damn planner some kind of Title Douluo?! All he talks about is banning accounts, losing them!"
While complaining, the players quickly organized their weapons and equipment, preparing for battle.
"What is a Title Douluo?" Tiandao asked Liu Xingyao, who was issuing missions, curiously in the Tiandao Space.
Liu Xingyao pursed his lips.
"It's a title from a novel; I'll show it to you later."
Tiandao has gone further and further down the path of otaku culture, using pairings like Naruto and Sasuke, Ichigo and the shopkeeper—he's even more adept at it than Liu Xingyao!
However, these players are getting increasingly outrageous, daring to criticize the game planners and causing trouble.
Liu Xingyao rolled his eyes. "Serves you right for criticizing me, a Title Douluo!"
Next time I'll show you the power of the Battle Qi Horse Transformation!
Although the players were verbally criticizing the developers for the harsh punishments for failing missions, they still had smiles on their faces.
After all, quests that directly reward players with a level up are still very attractive to current players.
Moreover, for the current beta testers, Tiandao Village is already their home.
Even without mission rewards, they wouldn't give up this place.
This sudden monster siege completely ignited the players' passion.
Rabies!
Kill as many as come!
Standing on the rooftop observation platform, the Wood Elf player shouted into the giant wooden megaphone: "The rabid hounds are almost at the trap area! Everyone get ready! The rabid hounds are invading directly in front of the village! Judging by the numbers, there are already over three hundred rabid hounds! We don't know if the rabid hound king from the quest is hiding among the rabid hounds, so be careful!"
"The logistics team is ready to go too, equip them with dog collars along with the transport team! Vanguard team, all of you get your rifles! Let's go! To the front lines!"
Upon hearing the sentry's shouts, Hydra picked up his megaphone and began directing operations on the spot.
"The transport team, bring firewood!!! Pile the firewood at the village entrance and light it! Animals are afraid of fire!"
After all, the righteous enforcer, who was familiar with animal knowledge, quickly moved closer to the nine-headed figure and interjected a comment.
"That makes sense!"
"Bring firewood, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
The players sprang into action, rushing through Tiandao Village, some carrying firewood, others carrying piles of equipment.
Although everyone was in a hurry, things were still relatively orderly.
This is the advantage of operating in groups; the vanguard group is already ready at the barricades at the village entrance with spears.
The transport team, having set up the firewood and lit the large pile at the village entrance, also stood beside the vanguard team with their lassoes.
The players in the logistics team were facing this situation for the first time and were a little nervous.
After all, if the mission fails, the account is gone.
Hydra seized the opportunity to raise its megaphone and give a final pre-battle pep talk.
"Don't be nervous! Just do it like we did when we hunted before. Rabies dogs are trash, just experience points!"
"Dry!"
"Alright, Brother Snake, stop talking, you're too noisy."
The player standing next to the Hydra muttered to himself, "It's not like it's the first time we've fought the rabid dog. Why are you being so long-winded?"
The hydra curled its lips.
Look at how arrogant these guys are.
