"That's great, Mr. Bai. You finally remembered to upgrade the game builder. You didn't know that I was the only one among the three of us who got the game qualification. Mo Zhu and Ji Yingqi, I mean my two colleagues, have been looking at me with more and more strange eyes recently."
Bai Li's beautiful peach blossom eyes smiled at the long message sent by Xiong Pili. Who wouldn't like to hear others' praise for what they are doing, especially when it is so sincere.
"Thank you." Bai Li typed, "I want to ask, if I plan to upgrade the holographic game builder tomorrow, can I make an appointment with you today, or do I need to do something on the Star Network?"
Xiong Pili quickly sent over a form: "Mr. Bai, you can fill in your address, contact information, and the level you plan to upgrade to. After I confirm with the company, you can pay a 50% deposit."
The content of the form was very concise. Bai Li quickly filled in the first two, but got stuck at the last one.
"Can you give me a detailed introduction to each level, how much money they cost, and how many players they can accommodate? Also, to upgrade the holographic game builder, you have to upgrade it one level at a time and you can't skip levels?"
On Bai Li's side, Xiong Pili has always been very enthusiastic: "Of course, this is our responsibility! There are currently six levels of holographic game builders, namely E, D, C, B, A and S. The prices are 5,000, 100,000, 5 million, 25 million, 100 million and 10 billion star coins from low to high. The higher the level, the more players it can accommodate. Holographic games on the market today generally use C-level and B-level holographic game builders. Only those old brands that have been certified by the Imperial Research Institute and have a certain therapeutic effect on genetic collapse will use more expensive builders because they are more profitable than ordinary games. For example, games like "Void War" use the top-level S-level."
"When upgrading the holographic game builder, you cannot skip the intermediate levels. In other words, if you want to upgrade to level C, you need to pay the upgrade fees for both level D and level C, totaling 5.1 million star coins. Mr. Bai, if you have more money, I suggest you upgrade directly to level C, because the level D holographic game builder can only accommodate 5,000 players, while the level C can accommodate 1 million players. The difference in the number of players is still very large."
Xiong Pili actually had some selfish motives in giving such suggestions. In the past few days, the voices on StarNet urging Bai Li to upgrade the builder have been getting louder and louder. Every night after he finished playing the game, he would refresh the suggestion book. The number of messages in it was increasing by almost 10,000 a day, and even reached 20,000 last night.
What does this mean? It is said that more and more people on the Internet are starting to pay attention to this game. Once they know that the game builder of "You Ran Tian Ju" is about to be upgraded, they will definitely stay on the game homepage day and night, waiting for the moment when the game quota is released. How many people will there be by then? At least hundreds of thousands of people, and this does not include those who quietly pay attention and do not leave comments!
Hundreds of thousands of people are competing for less than 5,000 game spots. Just imagine how terrifying the scene will be. If you are lucky enough to get a spot, everyone will be happy, but if you can't get one, I'm afraid you will be devastated, right? It's fine if netizens are willing to wait, but if they are not willing to wait, they may vent their anger for not being able to get a spot on Bai Li, which is too painful.
Xiong Pili thought of his two colleagues and good friends. As far as he knew, the two had been practicing their hand speed for half a month, hoping to successfully grab a spot in the game. At that time, not many people knew about this game, so they had a high chance of success. But now... there are hundreds of thousands of people, and there are many talented people among the fighting races. It is difficult, really difficult to grab a spot from these people. Xiong Pili was worried about the two.
However, the premise for this to happen is that Bai Li only upgraded the holographic game builder to level D. If it was level C, the situation would be different. One million game quotas should last for a while, right? In this way, his two friends might be able to grab the game quotas.
With a glimmer of expectation, Xiong Pili put forward his own suggestion.
Bai Li was silent.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to be promoted to C level in one go, but... the money is really not enough!
I originally thought it was great to be able to earn over two million a month, but I found out that compared to the expensive holographic game builder, over two million is just a small fry, I can’t even afford a C-level one!
Thinking about it this way, he really couldn't slack off now and had to continue working hard.
Bai Li was not worried about embarrassing himself by telling others, so he just told Xiong Pili that he did not have enough money at the moment, and made an appointment with him to come to his house at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning to help him upgrade.
After knowing the reason, Xiong Pili also thought of Bai Li's current residence, which was located in an old residential area in a very remote suburb. If he remembered correctly, the rent should be only 1,000 star yuan a month. Mr. Bai would not live there if he didn't have no money in his pocket.
Well, after things are settled, he will go to the game again to see what else can be bought in the game store and spend some money to help Mr. Bai upgrade the holographic game builder to level C as soon as possible.
Bai Li didn't know what Xiong Pili was thinking, so he ended the chat after making an agreement with him. Before the chat was over, he didn't forget to pay the deposit.
After dinner, Bai Li did not continue playing the game, which was rare. Instead, he lay in the game cabin and opened the holographic game builder, turned on the design mode, and slowly thought about what kind of big update he should give to new and old players when the number of players increased.
These days, he is not only focused on playing games, but also occasionally thinks about what is missing in the game, so he has a general idea of this "big update". What he needs to do now is to add these ideas to the game little by little, and not release them for the time being, and wait until the holographic game builder is upgraded to give players a surprise.
The same goes for game quotas. Game creators can freely decide when to distribute game quotas and how many quotas to distribute in total. Bai Li has already thought about it. After Xiong Pili and the others come to help him upgrade the holographic game builder tomorrow, he will release all the quotas in the afternoon. There are a total of 4,500 quotas. He will deduct 5 of them, and let netizens grab the remaining 4,495.
Of the five remaining spots, he had already decided who to give three of them to. Song Xinran had been whispering in his ear for a long time, saying that he should quickly grab a spot in the game and play the game he made. After all, he was his apprentice, so he would definitely give one to him. As for the other two, he planned to give them to Xiong Pili's two colleagues. They had done their best to help him upgrade his equipment and patiently answered all his questions. Moreover, they had expressed their support for him before the game was launched. He accepted this kindness and could not let them continue to be disappointed.
As for the remaining two... Bai Li thought of the Supreme who was nestling in his arms at this moment, and shook his head silently. It was a pity that although the small animals could enter the game cabin, they could not enter the game. Otherwise, he would bring the Supreme into the game, and the Supreme could help him take care of the crops...
Just keep the remaining two and give them away when the right opportunity arises.
Bai Li thought that when there are more players in the game tomorrow, the game should become more lively and full of vitality. In addition to more star points, he can also get ten times more faith power from the players. Just thinking about it, Bai Li felt very excited. After tomorrow, he will be one step closer to becoming "Shennong"!
Dreams are beautiful, and the boy started working happily with hope in his heart.
Game world.
Wen Xingyao started playing the game, but was not in a hurry to leave the hut. Instead, he sat quietly inside for a long time.
After so many days of experimentation, he was almost certain that he had accidentally entered the childhood stage and temporarily lost his human memories, or in other words, his human consciousness had fallen asleep. What was worse was that the memories on both sides were not interoperable, which resulted in him not knowing where he was when he was a child, or who he was with.
What he could do was to leave a mark in his subconscious mind every time he exited the Star Network, to warn his younger self not to do strange things. Only when the younger self noticed and accepted the message conveyed by the mark would the mark disappear.
But after so many days, he left at least ten marks, but he didn't awaken his human consciousness. This made Wen Xingyao wonder if he was a little stupid when he was young.
However, there is still some good news. He can clearly feel that he is growing rapidly in his childhood. Maybe when he grows to a certain size, his human consciousness that seems to have been sealed will awaken, and then he will regain control of his body and the situation will become much better.
Soon, Wen Xingyao gave up thinking about it. There was no point in thinking about these things in the game. Instead, he might as well go and see how the crops at the door were growing.
As the character level increases, more and more experience points will be needed for upgrading. After playing for such a long time, Wen Xingyao's character level has reached level 14, and he can even reach level 15 with just a few hundred more experience points.
He is currently the highest level in the entire game, even the game creator's level is not as high as his. Wen Xingyao was a little proud, and completely forgot how much money he invested in the game store in order to upgrade faster. The magical spring water he poured into the ground alone can form a small stream.
Compared to him, other players became more Buddhist, at least they would not reduce the maturity time by half every time they planted crops. Or in other words, other players' game focus was not on farming like he did. They also liked to eat all kinds of delicacies, cook their own food, "treasure hunt" in the woods, sleep on the grass beside the stream, and harass the old village chief on a daily basis.
If Bai Li had a ranking of the total amount of spending of all players, Wen Xingyao would definitely be ranked first, a true paying player.
At this time, the krypton gold player was diligently digging potatoes in the field. As he dug, huge potatoes were dug out of the soil and then transferred into his backpack. The same action was repeated a hundred times. When he stood up straight with his back straightened, he looked around and saw that within the fenced area, except for a small wooden table and two wooden chairs in the corner, and a narrow cobblestone path connecting the house door and the fence gate, the rest was all cultivated land.
Because a batch of crops had just been harvested, all hundred plots of land were idle, which made people feel inexplicably comfortable.
At least Wen Xingyao felt comfortable. He glanced at his character level and found that he was exactly level 15. Reaching level 15 means that he can go to the village chief's store to buy strawberry seeds. He remembered the half of strawberries that Bai Li had given him before. There were 30 strawberries in total, each of which was half the size of a palm. The strawberries were sweet as honey at the tip. When you eat the strawberries, the butt end slowly becomes sour and sweet. When you bite down on the flesh, it is a little crispy, and the juice splashes in your mouth. At that time, he was shocked by the heavenly berries. He stood there stupidly for a long time before he recovered. Bai Li laughed at him.
Since then, Wen Xingyao has defined strawberries as his favorite fruit. Of course, before that, he would never touch the fruits in the real world.
Now that I can plant strawberries, what are I waiting for? As soon as I put away my tools, I planned to go out and find the village chief to buy seeds.
It was at this time that Tang Ying came to the door.
He stopped Wen Xingyao who was about to leave at the door, and before Wen Xingyao could ask why he was here, he took the initiative to speak with a happy face: "Good news, Yaoxing! I sent someone to tell you!"
These days, there are very few things that can make Adjutant Tang of the Interstellar Admiral so happy. Wen Xingyao paused for a few seconds and quickly guessed what he wanted to say.
Today is the last day of this month, and the physical examination reports of the 300 soldiers must have come out. Tang Ying has become like this, so the results of the report should be very good.
Wen Xingyao had no choice but to reopen the fence door and take Tang Ying into the house.
"Tell me what the situation is." As he spoke, he poured two cups of tea, one for himself and one for Tang Ying.
Tea is also a new product that Bai Li put on the shelves not long ago. Once brewed with boiling hot water, it will emit a faint tea fragrance in a short while.
In Bai Li's opinion, there are many types of tea, and there is a big difference between expensive tea and cheap tea. For some reason, he classified tea into categories. The cheapest coarse tea is placed in the village chief's store. 50 copper coins can buy a large can, which can be drunk for a long time. As for famous teas such as Xinyang Maojian, West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Dahongpao, Lu'an Guapian, Junshan Yinye, etc., he put them all in the game mall and marked them with high prices, ranging from 100 star yuan to 1,000 star yuan, and each portion is only a few taels. For most players, tea in the game mall is a luxury.
But this situation would definitely not happen to Wen Xingyao. After he drank the first sip of tea, he bought a pound of each type of tea in the game mall, changing the variety every day.
For example, today, he brewed Dahongpao tea.
When a scent resembling floral fragrance wafted out of the teacup, Tang Ying's eyes lit up. He said, "Thank you so much," while carefully blowing the tea to cool it down, took a sip comfortably, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
After drinking half a cup of tea, he started talking about business.
He even pretended to be mysterious while speaking: "There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first, Yaoxing?"
Wen Xingyao: “…”
He rolled his eyes at the person opposite him, with a warning in his eyes: "Speak together."
"Okay, okay, I shouldn't have joked with you." Tang Ying raised his hands in surrender. "The good news is that the physical examination reports of 300 soldiers are out. 70% of them have shown signs of relief from their gene collapse disorder, and the remaining 30% have not gotten any worse. Among them, 18 soldiers had already entered the middle stage of their gene collapse disorder, but this time the examination showed that they were back to the early stage."
Wen Xingyao nodded, very satisfied with the result. He asked again: "What's the bad news?"
"The bad news is..." Tang Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this, "Actually, this can't be considered bad news, right? The results of the report are now known to the entire military, and everyone is asking how this was done. Admiral, you know that most of our military are stupid and stubborn, and they didn't need anyone to force them to tell others about "Your Farmhouse" on their own initiative."
"Right now, everyone in the military is going crazy, discussing how to get a spot in the game... I heard that the game maker is planning to open up new spots next month. Can we still get one this time?"
At this point, Tang Ying was somewhat relieved. On the first day of the game's launch, the general had asked him to find 300 people to join the game, accounting for more than half of the total number of players. At first, he couldn't understand why the general went to so much trouble to let people join the game. Now that he thinks about it, this is simply the wisest decision the general has ever made, okay?
Unfortunately, there is only one such opportunity. Wanting to get so many places at once is nothing but a daydream.
Wen Xingyao had not expected this news. Initially, he planned to wait for the results of the medical examination to come out and then go to Bai Li to reveal his identity, and try to reach a cooperation with him, with Bai Li providing some game quotas, and the military paying for them or providing Bai Li with other conveniences. However, the early leak of the news disrupted this plan. Even if he successfully got some quotas from Bai Li, those fools in the military would probably fight over the internal quotas.
Perhaps before they even enter the game, these people's genetic breakdown syndrome will be aggravated by group fights.
Then...
"It's not up to us to decide whether they can get it or not. Since they all want this game spot, let them grab it themselves when the time comes. Whether they can get it depends on their own efforts." Wen Xingyao gave up the idea of asking Bai Li for help and said in a very single manner.
Tang Ying hadn't realized that Wen Xingyao actually knew Bai Li, and even he himself had added Bai Li as a game friend. After hearing what Wen Xingyao said, he thought about it and felt that there was some truth in it, so he nodded and planned to announce the news after logging off.
"There shouldn't be anything else, right?" Wen Xingyao stood up and started to chase people away.
"Oh, nothing happened!" Tang Ying realized belatedly that his arrival seemed to have disrupted the admiral's original plan, and quickly stood up, "Then I'll leave first and won't bother you anymore."
But before leaving, he quickly grabbed the teacup on the table, raised his head and drank the cold tea in it, smacked his lips and said with emotion: "You know what, this tea is really delicious."
Wen Xingyao directly threw him an exquisite wooden box, which contained Da Hong Pao tea leaves: "Of course, after all, it is 1,000 Star Yuan per ounce of tea leaves. This box is for you, take it home and drink it slowly."
Tang Ying:! ! !
Shit, was the tea he just drank so expensive?
After a second of hesitation, Tang Ying decisively stuffed the box into his backpack: "Okay, boss, thank you, boss, make a fortune!"
After saying that, he ran away. From his back, it looked like he was afraid that Wen Xingyao would regret it and take the tea back to him.
Wen Xingyao laughed. Adjutant Tang was almost thirty years old, but he could still speak so lively. It seemed that he had been hanging out with the players in the game for a long time.
Since everyone had left, it was time for him to get down to business. After clearing the tea on the table, Wen Xingyao went out the door and headed straight for the village entrance. It was rare that there were not many people at the village chief's place. He quickly bought the strawberry seeds he wanted and sold most of the potatoes he had just harvested. He brought back a bunch of copper coins, which became more than a dozen golden coins when he put them in his backpack.
Wen Xingyao was very satisfied.
He was just about to rush back to plant the strawberry seeds when he heard a loud discussion coming from not far away.
"Brothers, you've all heard that there will be new players in our game next month. We don't know how many spots will be released by then. Anyway, I've asked my family and friends to keep an eye on it and grab the spots as soon as they are released."
"Huh - the creator is finally willing to upgrade the game builder, but have you noticed that the upgrade will be on the first of next month? There is one thing you all know, the holographic game design competition can only withdraw its income once at the end of each month. Putting these two things together, I have a bad feeling..."
As soon as this speculation came out, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's expectant smiles froze on their faces.
No! Will! I?
