"Dear players, you are now traveling to the world of 'Qin'. Please integrate into it and obtain the 'key' to another world. Tip: Pay attention to the intelligence information around you, as it may provide you with effective assistance~"
"To help players adapt as quickly as possible, players can choose any profession to enter the world..."
As the last game prompt sounded, a number of "professions" appeared before Niu Ren and Xing Kong for them to choose from. Moreover, the classification of these professions was a bit strange. They were not familiar professions, but mostly some "vaguely understood" professions, such as "Qin soldiers", "farmers", "merchants" and other similar professions.
Especially the profession of "farmer". Nowadays, plant cultivation is almost entirely managed by relevant research institutes. Every plant that can be successfully cultivated is extremely precious, and large-scale cultivation is almost impossible. For this profession, everyone uniformly calls it "plant research scholar". However, the description of "farmer" in the game seems to be completely different. It seems to be a profession formed based on another social system.
Seeing this, Niuren and Xingkong couldn't help but become interested. They couldn't help but browse the "career description" carefully, and finally decided to choose two professions that looked familiar to try their hands. As soon as they decided on the profession, the scene in front of their eyes changed again. In the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a busy street.
There were many pedestrians, but they were wearing strange clothes, and the texture of the clothes was very rough, which looked worse than the clothes worn by the poorest people in the inferior star zone. The style of the world was also unfamiliar to them, but they could now be sure that the buildings here were really a bit like those in "Xianxia Qiyuan", but the ones in this game looked much more simple and were obviously built purely by humans.
Because not far ahead, there were people, or NPCs, humming and humming while building houses. And unlike most games, all the NPCs in this game seemed to be intelligent NPCs. Their actions and dialogues looked very vivid. It definitely didn't feel like a game world, but rather a real world.
If they could not still see the option of 'Exit Game', they would really think they had come to a completely real world.
But before Xingkong and Niuren could think much, at this moment, a group of men in uniform and aggressively appeared and rushed towards them. The moment they saw Xingkong, their eyes lit up and they suddenly rushed in front of Xingkong. They lined up in a row with extraordinary momentum, stood in front of Xingkong, and shouted with their hands clasped:
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, we have been waiting for a long time. Welcome back to your residence!"
This really scared Xingkong, but soon he reacted and realized that it seemed that this phenomenon was related to the professional game he chose.
Xingkong chose the profession of 'County Magistrate'. Of course, Xingkong didn't quite understand the meaning of this profession, but after reading the profession description, he inferred that it should be somewhat similar to the manager of a small secondary star zone. This made Xingkong, who once dreamed of becoming a 'star zone manager', very interested. After thinking about it, he chose the profession of 'County Magistrate', but judging from the current results, it seems like a good choice?
After separating from the talented people who chose different professions, Xingkong followed those imposing subordinates back home, and found that this game is simply heaven!
In this place, he is almost the biggest boss. Everyone else obeys him and tries to please him enthusiastically. He hardly needs to do anything. He just needs to wave his hand and someone will come to give him a shoulder and leg massage, prepare snacks and tea, and treat him with especially sweet words, which makes Xingkong so happy that he doesn't want to leave. As for the accumulated cases, because there was no punishment, Xingkong subconsciously ignored them and threw them aside.
But gradually, Xingkong found that some of his men seemed to look at him with a strange look in their eyes. But before Xingkong could figure out what was going on, he was coaxed into great joy by another group of particularly sweet-talking men. At the same time, the originally prosperous streets had become deserted and dilapidated for unknown reasons, with robbers and thieves running rampant and the atmosphere in a mess.
It was at this moment that Xingkong finally realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. Following the King of Qin's orders, a new county magistrate quickly replaced him, and Xingkong himself was beheaded by the enraged King of Qin!
"Player Xingkong, unfortunately, you have been beheaded by the King of Qin. Your game character is dead. Do you want to restart the game?"
As the game boost sound of "Game Character Dead" rang out, Xingkong found that he had left the previous "Qin" world and reappeared in front of the ruins of the previous civilization. However, the final mutation was too fast, so fast that Xingkong was a little confused and could not react at all.
What was a little different from Xingkong's daze was the barrage in the live broadcast room. At this moment, the barrage in the live broadcast room was already in an uproar, and everyone was discussing it excitedly.
[Overpraising! Overpraising! This is absolutely overpraising! Finally, I understood. Those smooth-talking, flattering subordinates in the mansion aren't really good people. On the contrary, the dark-faced man with a stern face from the very beginning is the good guy. He tried to persuade the host several times during the show, but the protagonist ignored him every time. That's why he fell so quickly!]
[Yes, that must be the case. All the good things that happened before were just illusions. We need to clearly distinguish between good people and treacherous ones!]
[And the management of the streets outside. As time went on, what kind of state did the streets become? Does the anchor have to handle those cases to keep the streets prosperous?]
[It seems like that, but it seems so difficult. The game doesn't have any hints, so I have to figure it out on my own. If I'm not careful, I might be doomed. It seems like it's real...]
Xingkong finally reacted and looked through the comments in the live broadcast room for a long time. He finally understood what was going on. It seemed that he was indeed careless before and was paralyzed all of a sudden. It turned out that this is how the game is to be played. You have to consider it from all aspects.
In fact, Xingkong is not stupid. It’s mainly because he has never played this kind of game before. Most of the intelligent NPCs in previous games were guiding NPCs or triggering NPCs. How could they set up all kinds of traps like real people? Isn’t this almost the same as in the real world?
Now that we know, isn't that easier? Isn't it just about not trusting others' slander so easily, judging right and wrong for ourselves, and actively handling cases and public affairs to maintain the prosperity of the street? That's easy, isn't it?
Xingkong is the kind of player who has a strong ability to adapt to games. He quickly summarized the reasons for his last failure based on the comments from the audience in the live broadcast room, and actively discussed with his fans a possible successful way of playing. After confirming that there would be no problems, Xingkong patted his chest to his fans, confidently expressing that there would be no problems this time, and clicked 'Start Game Again' to re-enter the game world.
At the beginning of the game, it was not much different from the last time. He was also taken back by a group of aggressive subordinates. But this time, Xingkong learned the lesson from the last time and did not indulge in the sweet words of those villains. Instead, he chose to reuse those black-faced men who could not say good things, and actively handled the cases on the case. Most of the cases were trivial matters of people's livelihood. Occasionally there would be one or two riots caused by bandits. Overall, they were not difficult to handle.
"Is everything alright this time? The streets look okay now, right? But it seems like we've been dealing with a lot more cases of bandits lately..."
Xingkong was handling the case while talking to his fans in the live broadcast room. However, before he could finish his words, someone outside came running in with a panicked look on his face and reported:
"Oh no! Sir! A large number of bandits have entered the county...!"
So, not long after, Xingkong died again, and this time the reason for the game character's death was...
"I'm sorry, player Xingkong, you've been stabbed to death by a bandit. Your character is dead. Do you want to 'restart the game'?"
Starry sky: “…”
At this point, Xingkong was really depressed. How come he was playing the game well when suddenly a large number of bandits came in, and there was no warning before?
[No, it seems there were some clues. Host, do you remember the cases you handled? There were quite a few involving bandits. Now that I think about it, aren't their locations getting closer and closer to ours? There were also incidents of civilian unrest, rumors about bandits, and so on. It seems like these all indicate that bandits are a hidden danger...?]
Huh? It seems to be true now, doesn't it?
After two failures, Xingkong began to take this game seriously. In addition, the analysis from everyone in the barrage was indeed very reasonable. He really did not pay attention to the details that he should have paid attention to. Many places in the game process gave him hints, and Xingkong gradually understood what kind of game this was.
But after entering the game for the third time, Xingkong failed again. The reason for this failure was not because of inaction or assassination by bandits, but because of a sudden flood, which led to the outbreak of plague and famine. Countless people were killed and injured in the city. Even Xingkong, the county magistrate, died of the epidemic due to untimely treatment.
“…”
"I just don't believe it. I can't beat the game!"
After dying three times in a row, Xingkong became stubborn and quickly summed up his experience and entered the game again. However, Xingkong encountered the fourth, fifth, eighth, ninth, and nth death of his game character even faster, and the reasons for death were varied.
Some were dismissed for poor management, some were impeached despite doing a good job, and some were betrayed and killed by their subordinates, etc. The ways of death are varied and rich.
But the further the game went on, the anger that Xingkong had been holding back didn't dissipate much. Instead, the more he played, the more serious his expression became. Especially after he learned to figure out other people's intentions and goals, and learned to speculate on the future development trend of the game from a big picture perspective, Xingkong felt that all this seemed really interesting.
And now, it should be Xingkong’s nineteenth game challenge.
This time, after summarizing many previous failed experiences, Xingkong did not just deal with the case, but approached it from multiple aspects.
For example, when it comes to winning people's hearts, although those mean-spirited people cannot be trusted, sometimes they can be used.
For example, they paid attention to the movements of bandits around them, but did not simply eliminate them for the sake of eliminating them. Instead, they considered the nature of these bandits more deeply and found that these bandits were originally good citizens, but because of famine and war in the past period of time, they became bandits. As long as they can have enough food to eat, there is a certain chance that they will become ordinary people.
Taking into account the possibility of floods, after Xingkong suppressed the bandits again, he simply asked them to help repair the river to make up for their mistakes, and successfully turned the bandits into good citizens and a group of useful people.
For example, as the population increased, Xingkong began to worry about the food problem. After careful consideration, Xingkong simply used most of the funds to develop agriculture to solve the problem.
After these operations were carried out, this small county really changed its normal state and began to gradually prosper. Xingkong could hear his name praised by the people from time to time. All this made Xingkong feel satisfied and full of a sense of accomplishment.
But this was not what made Xingkong most excited. What made Xingkong most excited was that after he subdued another group of bandits, the King of Qin sent someone to bring the good news of Xingkong's promotion. While giving him generous rewards, he also divided the management rights of the three surrounding cities to Xingkong!
Seeing the wealth of three cities suddenly appear before his eyes, Xingkong tried to hold it in for a while, but finally couldn't help but scream with excitement! !
Speaking of which, at this stage, the first level of the game should be cleared. After playing for so long, Xingkong should also quit the game. However, looking at the three new cities that have not been dealt with, Xingkong can no longer hold back his hands. Although he keeps saying:
"The last point, really the last point, I'll quit after this game. Let me clear out the bandits around these three cities first~"
Fans who have listened to the "last point" countless times: We get it, we all get it. The last '100 million' point, right? We really get it :)
Xingkong: TAT... It's really not my fault. The main reason is that this game doesn't look like it has any spectacular scenes, but it's really addictive! !
Of course, there is more than just Xingkong here. There is also Niu Ren who entered the game with him. Niu Ren chose a different profession from Xingkong. He chose the profession of "Qin Soldier", which is in line with Niu Ren's personality of liking fighting and killing. Although he died several times when he first started playing, Niu Ren couldn't help but feel annoyed.
But later, during another battle, Niu Ren shot and killed the enemy leader, and was promoted all the way to a general, gaining both fame and fortune. This made Niu Ren extremely proud. The level of excitement was several times higher than that of Xingkong's profession, and he was so excited that he didn't want to leave the game at all! Let alone log off to rest!
So, what had originally been a good experiment with a new game, driven by the two streamers, turned into a collective all-nighter! The later it got, the more excited they became! Luckily, the next day was a day off, not a workday, otherwise the consequences would have been incredibly troublesome.
But the next day, when the guys in the A5 star zone woke up in the morning and went to the star network to check if there was any new news, they saw a string of strange and confusing new messages. They saw that the new messages were written like this:
Good morning, good night, I'm going to sleep, everyone~
Good morning? Good night again? Oh my goodness, are we pulling an all-nighter? It would be fine if it were just one or two, after all, there's no shortage of night owls, but now there are dozens and dozens of new messages like "Shangbaitiao" (likely a nickname) that are leaving everyone bewildered, wondering what's going on. They can't just agree to pull an all-nighter together, right?
Tang Tang, who had just woken up from a good sleep, also saw these news and couldn't help but feel curious. However, because he fell asleep uncontrollably after uploading the game yesterday, Tang Tang stopped paying attention to it after being curious for a while. Instead, he logged back into the game designer's backend to see what the new game was like. According to the original plan, today he would finish the remaining work, and tomorrow he could start promoting and launching the game.
But Tang Tang was dumbfounded just as he logged into the game designer's backstage. It turned out that when he was sleepy last night, he accidentally pressed 'Save' instead of 'Publish', and put the new game that was almost finished online!
If that's the case, it's fine. In Tang Tang's eyes, it's no big deal to launch it early. The finishing work does not affect the players' gaming experience. It's just that the promotional materials are missing. If it is accidentally launched early, it will only require some patches and additional publicity later.
But the problem was… As soon as Tang Tang logged into the designer's backend, in addition to seeing that "Huaxia Dynasty" had accidentally been launched, he also saw a system warning message. The system warning message read:
[Warning: Game designer 'Tang Mu', due to receiving complaints from over 500 players, in order to rectify the StarNet gaming environment, we will temporarily lock the designer's backend for three days. It will be reopened after review and verification. Please take this into consideration.]
Tang Tang, who woke up to a complaint letter and was locked in a small dark room for three days: "...Huh???"
