Military department.
Tang Ying was busy when he suddenly received a message from Wen Xingyao.
The first sentence the other party said confused him completely.
"Next month, Bai Li will upgrade the holographic game builder. I bought 190,000 game quotas from him. Please count them as soon as possible and let the soldiers with more serious illnesses prepare to enter the game."
If this happened in the ancient Blue Star period, Tang Ying would be reading this news on his mobile phone, and I'm afraid the screen of his phone would not be able to be saved.
Tang Ying: “!!!” My General is amazing! You were able to negotiate for 190,000 places in one go!
Is this the benefit of making friends with game makers? It's so cool to be able to intercept so many game quotas midway! A full 190,000. If Bai Li only upgraded the holographic game builder to C level, these quotas would account for one-fifth of the total quota. The admiral really gave their military minister a lot of face to be able to negotiate such a big "business"!
Tang Ying laughed foolishly at the content of the message, and soon grasped another key point. These places were not given to them for free by Bai Li, but were bought by the admiral. When he thought about the popularity of "Your Ran Tian Ju" now, the forum quoted tens of thousands of places for Jiang Huaibi to get two new game places through the event. Although the number of places is more now, they are definitely still very popular. I really don't know how much the admiral spent to buy these places.
Imagining Wen Xingyao's empty wallet due to the purchase of game quota, Tang Ying shed tears of emotion.
And replied: "Is this true? You must have spent a lot of money, right? We can't pay this money by ourselves. Tell me the total amount, I will report it and try to get the people above to pay for us!"
However, his calculating appearance did not move Wen Xingyao. He rejected Tang Ying's proposal with a tone that was 40% proud, 30% calm, and 30% arrogant: "Forget it, I bought these places with the price of 5 star yuan each, so it didn't cost much in total."
Only 5 star coins each? How is this different from a fire sale? Thinking that the game spot that was so popular outside was actually bought by Wen Xingyao at this price, Tang Ying grinned and thanked Bai Li for his generosity and kindness.
When he calmed down a little, he was about to say that the price was not that expensive, but when he thought of the number 190,000, he broke out in a sweat.
Oh my god, the unit price is indeed not expensive, but the total price has reached 950,000 star dollars... Only someone like the admiral who has a mine at home can say "it didn't cost much in total".
"Okay, I'll compile the relevant names right away, and once the game quotas are available, I'll send them to the game to contribute to the construction of the village!" Finally, Tang Ying weakly said that he had to go to work and ended the chat with Wen Xingyao.
He didn't even have the mood to ask Wen Xingyao how he was doing recently or whether his body had recovered.
At the same time, he never thought about how a small mushroom village could accommodate one million people?
This is also what Bai Li is considering.
In his opinion, a village formed by 5,000 players is already very large. Everyone has their own things to do every day. It is neither crowded nor empty, forming a very stable state. Moreover, the area of the village has been expanded once before. Now that transportation in the game is not yet popular, it is a bit unrealistic to expand it further.
If we continue to add people to the village, the level of the old players will far exceed that of the new players, and the situation of both sides will become awkward. In this case, it is better to open up a new map (novice village) and let the new players start from scratch in a brand new place.
Let's assume that there are 5,000 people in one village. This means we need to add 199 new villages. This operation is relatively simple. We just need to find the original village template and copy 199 new maps.
Or you don't need to copy at all, just set the required orientation, terrain, river, outer forest layout, and even the appearance of the NPC village chief and his wife, and let the system automatically generate them. Through the system's generation, each village can have subtle differences, and new players will not get aesthetic fatigue after seeing too many photos in the forum.
Bai Li thought about it and decided to use the second method. "Randomness" is the greatest fun in designing games. Even the game maker doesn't know what the final generated map will look like, which is really exciting.
However, dispersing the players involves another problem. Among the one million players, there must be some who know each other, and they may have agreed to play together when they enter the game. But the game makers are so cruel and separated them. How pitiful!
Bai Li thought he was a kind person, so how could he let the players from several villages never meet each other? So he made a rule that when the player's character level reaches 30, they can go to other villages to have a look. Even when the character level is higher, they can even come up with a gameplay of changing villages and moving the whole family.
But the latter was not in a hurry. Before that, he had to arrange the appropriate means of transportation, at least an ox cart!
After thinking about so much, Bai Li saw that it was almost evening, so he left the room and prepared to heat up dinner for tonight.
As a result, when he touched the storage space, he found it was completely empty. He cast his divine sense into it and found that all the big pot rice of the God of Cookery brand that he had stored in the fairy world had been eaten up, not even the simplest egg fried rice was left. Fortunately, there were still several large buckets of spiritual goat milk, so the fox cub would not starve.
Looking at the fresh fruits and vegetables and the frozen meats in the space, Bai Li felt a headache. Could it be that he was going to cook dark cuisine?
I hope it doesn’t harm him and Wen Xingyao.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a tall figure from the corner of his eye. It was Wen Xingyao who had transformed from a lion into a human. Thinking of the life skills that Wen Xingyao had learned in the game, Bai Li's eyes lit up. Before Wen Xingyao could say hello to him, he asked, "Wen Xingyao, can you cook?"
Wen Xingyao didn't know how to cook it originally, but now Bai Li has learned it! Although he can't cook delicious dishes like the God of Cookery, he can still make a few ordinary home-cooked dishes.
So he remained reserved for a few seconds, then nodded gently: "I know a few simple dishes."
That's enough!
Bai Li grabbed his wrist and led him to the kitchen downstairs. Without looking back, he asked him what ingredients he needed. He could provide him with anything he had. Not only ingredients, but also seasonings were not lacking in his space.
If he looked back at this moment, he would know how sudden and inappropriate his actions were to Wen Xingyao.
Wen Xingyao's long silver hair was casually draped behind him, his dark golden eyes were slightly narrowed, and occasionally a few dark rays of light surged in them. It seemed that he thought of something that made him happy, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a silly smile that didn't match his face.
The warmth on his wrist allowed Wen Xingyao to truly feel Bai Li's presence. He could even picture the slender length of Bai Li's fingers in his mind based on the touch of their skin.
There was an imaginary little lion rolling around in his heart, roaring "Awoo, Awoo" to express his inner excitement.
However, in reality, Wen Xingyao never dared to show that look, for fear of scaring people and making them think that he had health problems again. He could only be led by Bai Li, stiffly all over, all the way to the kitchen door, before he woke up as if from a dream and stupidly reported a few common names of ingredients.
Cabbage, green peppers, corn, tomatoes, pork tenderloin, spareribs, beef brisket, and some common seasonings. Wen Xingyao took the ingredients into the kitchen, and soon there was the sound of cutting vegetables. After a while, the oil was heated in a wok, and the aroma of hot dishes wafted out.
Bai Li originally wanted to go in and help. Since he couldn't cook, how could he not even wash and cut vegetables? As a result, Wen Xingyao rudely kicked him out, saying that he could handle everything by himself and didn't need Bai Li's help. This was just a reward for living in Bai Li's house.
Bai Li didn't know how to respond to this. He could only go upstairs and bring the fox cub down from the room. Then he stood straight at the kitchen door. After Wen Xingyao finished preparing three dishes and a soup, he snatched two plates of food from him and put them on the dining table.
Stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried meat with green peppers, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, and a corn and pork ribs soup. The rice was cooked in advance. The two of them enjoyed a hearty dinner. Wen Xingyao, who was eating such delicious food in reality for the first time as a human being, even did not let go of the soup on the plate.
He no longer wanted to ask Bai Li where these tasty vegetables came from. In his opinion, Bai Li was shrouded in a mysterious aura, which made him glow with a different kind of brilliance. Since the other party did not take the initiative to tell him, he did not think about it or guess. He was honored to be able to enjoy it together because Bai Li treated him as his own.
After the meal, Bai Li gave Wen Xingyao a thumbs up, making no secret of his appreciation for today's meal.
Wen Xingyao accepted it without hesitation, and after feeling the condition of his body, he felt that he could still maintain his human form for a while, so he suggested: "How about you give me some more ingredients, and I'll prepare a few more meals. When it's time to eat, you can take them out and heat them up to eat, just like before."
Bai Li was somewhat tempted. He was really not good at cooking, but he was too embarrassed to just nod his head and agree. This would give him the illusion that he was "enslaving" Wen Xingyao. "Slaving" might be a bit too much, anyway, he was a little hesitant.
"You don't have to feel any psychological pressure. I live in your house and I don't even have to pay you rent. Moreover, all the ingredients for the dishes I cook come from you, and we eat together after cooking. I just contributed a little, so it can be considered as division of labor, right?" Wen Xingyao persuaded, "Besides, you helped me cure 'Gene Collapse Syndrome' and allocated so many game quotas to the soldiers in the military, and you didn't even want to charge me more money. You should at least give me some opportunities to repay you, right?"
Bai Li's face turned slightly red, and he could only humbly say: "I'm not helping you for any reward, just because you are my friend. Besides, as for those game places, the soldiers in the military have dedicated everything for the empire, and the number of people suffering from the disease is already greater and more serious. Even without you, I am willing to provide them with some help within my ability."
The two of them stared at each other, and the last one couldn't help laughing. After Wen Xingyao's persuasion, Bai Li agreed to his proposal and took out more ingredients for Wen Xingyao to play with.
As for himself, he sat on the sofa, thinking about the update announcement that had to be released in the evening.
