At this moment, Lu Ban's gaze penetrated the clouds, as if he saw the Old Ones above the moon.

He was bound tightly to it, and his red blood soaked the lunar soil, dyeing half of the moon blood red.

The blood penetrated the space of the universe and dripped onto this planet, becoming the soil that nourishes the monsters. Even the mere gaze of the Old Ones would lead to pollution and alienation.

Lu Ban was not sure whether he could become a node in the magic network.

But he knew that what he needed to do now was to build a suitable defense system as soon as possible, recruit more players, and solve the problem of the magic network at the same time.

He first found the players.

In the simple town square, the players who had just experienced a small-scale monster attack had a feeling of surviving a disaster. Although most of them died in the attack, and some of them who were fast at running around might have died twice, the feeling of being torn, gnawed, and stabbed by bugs still remained in their minds.

In foreign lands, under normal circumstances, seeing the corpse of a fellow creature would cause one or two points of sanity to be lost, and being killed by a monster would probably cause even more sanity loss. Of course, generally speaking, sanity would be meaningless since they had already been killed, but it was different for players.

Players can experience unlimited deaths, and learn combat skills and experience from death, and figure out the rules of monsters.

When the dead can be resurrected, humans sometimes go far beyond imagination. Players may try all kinds of methods just to see what is on the other side of the cliff out of curiosity, and die hundreds of times just to jump over. They may also persist for more than ten hours while being slaughtered by the BOSS, just to curse "FNNDP" after the defeat. They will also study all kinds of shortcuts, mechanisms, and ways to skip classes in pursuit of speedrunning.

There are many videos of second-round speedrunning on the Internet. Playing the game again will definitely be faster than before.

"Everyone."

Lu Ban spoke.

"We were attacked by monsters just now and suffered heavy losses. According to the mages' observations, a larger-scale monster tide will arrive in six months. By that time, if we cannot establish an effective defense, we will most likely be completely swallowed up by the monster tide."

After hearing Lu Ban's words, the players looked at each other in bewilderment.

Recalling what had just happened, they all felt that what Lu Ban said made sense.

The Demon Tide should be the main event of this game, and the events in this game seem to really change the scene and terrain.

In some games, no matter what major events happen in the plot, the game scene will not change. Even when the world is about to end, players will be asked to find cats and dogs, deliver letters and repair houses.

In some games, the scene destruction is not complete. Barrels can roll and crash, but the walls will not be damaged no matter how you chop them. Even the small animals in the scenes are still alive and kicking after being chopped.

However, everything in the [Cage] map is destructible.

The Black Forest can be burned, and the monsters in the flower bushes did not resurrect after being killed. Players have reason to believe that if those NPCs are killed by monsters, they will definitely not be resurrected.

For many players, things like this that cannot be refreshed or resurrected after death are very precious.

In some games, if you accidentally kill an NPC, not only will a whole village come to hunt you down, but you may even be killed instantly. You may not be able to buy items or upgrade your weapons and equipment, or you may lose the plot thread and be unable to advance.

Therefore, players themselves can die infinitely, but NPCs who only have one life are extremely precious.

No one knows which NPC may be hiding clues to the side quest, and it would be a big loss if you die before discovering the NPC.

At the same time, if the map here is destroyed, everything that the players have worked so hard to build will be gone. As a base for the closed beta players, Dusk Town is no longer just a small border town in the Kingdom of Darkness.

"To this end, I plan to build a tall tower to observe the movements of the Black Forest, and build fortifications around the town. I hope everyone can actively participate. I will give you generous rewards."

Lu Ban said.

First of all, we need to build the gray tower.

And they have to protect this border town from being invaded by monsters. Players can be resurrected if they die, but people in the town cannot be resurrected if they die.

As for trenches, fortifications and the like, we need to take the initiative.

When the players heard Lu Ban’s words, they all became excited.

"Fuck, this is the next stage of the plot."

"Are we really going to start building the house? Is there any spell that can speed up the construction?"

"Yes, three farmers can speed up the knocking of houses, but the farmers are ourselves."

"In this age of building tall towers, are we going to build gray towers?"

"Is there any way to open up the artillery technology tree? I really want to blow the hell up."

"Phase 2 has begun. I remember that in the game I played before, there was a world quest where all the players on the server collected materials and advanced together. When the tower is completed, I'm afraid Lu Ban will have to give a speech."

"I'm good at building houses. I'm an old Civilization player. Let's do some wonders first."

Seeing that the players were eager to try, Lu Ban was very satisfied.

He also got some old farm tools and wrote on them one by one.

[Can turn soil into cement, use with caution]

[Can easily shovel stones that are far beyond the limit weight! ]

[Fully automatic carving knife, you can master the most exquisite carving technology as long as you pick it up]

[The fortress built with it is indestructible]

These farm tools were transformed into extraordinary items and distributed to the players as rewards.

Old Eggplant also got a shovel.

He picked up the shovel, and for some reason, the method of using the shovel emerged in his mind, as if he was a weathered shovel in his previous life, and even his bones were in the shape of a shovel.

Old Eggplant put his shovel into the ground and quickly shoveled up a pile of mud.

He saw that the soft mud began to become sticky when it came into contact with water and gradually solidified, just like cement in the real world.

“So outrageous?”

Old Eggplant thinks our magic is really powerful.

Originally, Old Eggplant thought that if it was a mud house, it would collapse directly when the insects rushed over, and it would not be able to withstand any magic tide, let alone build a high tower. But now, with this shovel, everything is possible, no matter how strange the building is, no matter how complicated the structure is, as long as it is handed over to the players, it will be built for you in minutes.

But before he could imagine more, he heard the players on the other side of the field quarreling.
