Chapter 62 The number of closed beta testers exceeds one thousand!

There has been no further news on the spider silk trade yet, but the Flame King's amulets are already showing signs of being in short supply.

Just as Luo Yan expected, this thing was not only welcomed by the residents of Silver Pine Town, but was also sought after by adventurers.

After all, for most adventurers, what is terrifying is not that the body is desecrated or exploited, but that the soul is enslaved and used as a puppet of the necromancer.

Although the amulet was not as effective as holy water, it could at least free their souls from their broken bodies.

Just when the threshold of the Yinsong Town Church was trampled down by believers, Luo Yan's "Grave Cemetery" finally welcomed the third wave of newbies.

With the completion of the task of "ensuring that the average daily net income of faith value exceeds 1,000 points for three consecutive days", the 500 closed beta qualifications issued by the natural disaster system arrived, and another batch of fresh young leeks rushed in, making the entire mine full of creaking sounds.

“Ohhhhhh!!!”

“It’s actually true!!! It’s actually true!!!”

"Fuck that's awesome!"

"Wait, why did you all choose skeleton soldiers?!"

"I want to choose a zombie, but you let me choose!"

"If you don't choose the skeleton soldiers, do you choose the dwarves and the mounts?"

"???"

"Thank you, the dead rat player was offended!"

These noisy guys are still considered normal players, but some abnormal guys have already jumped onto Sarah's counter.

Compared to when she first joined the company, Sarah's personality has obviously become a lot calmer.

Before, she would be frightened by these overly excited skeleton soldiers, but now she looked at them as if they were restless kittens, and a yawn was considered a reaction.

Now it’s performance art time.

Until these guys have vented their excitement, nothing anyone can do will work.

Therefore, the clever Luo Yan ignored them completely, told Youyou to look at his handsome statue, and decided to close his eyes and stay in bed for a while.

He has been severely sleep-deprived these days.

When he is not practicing dragon language magic, he is killing monsters in the maze, or running back and forth to various places in the Demon King's territory, acting as an NPC.

We are about to fight with the earth dragon clan.

He needs to calm down first.

At the same time, in a corner of the Quality Square, an unremarkable skeleton soldier was standing in the corner of the sea of ​​skeletons, staring blankly at the surroundings and muttering constantly.

"Fuck..."

His ID is "The Past is Like Smoke".

Although this sounds like a name full of stories, there are actually not many stories in it, and the so-called past events are only from junior high school and elementary school.

He did not stand with those vulgar skeleton soldiers, nor did he rush to form a team to upgrade. Instead, he followed the signs on the wall of the mine, walked to the entrance of the North Peak Mine, and stood at the end of the winding mountain road.

Everything that came into view made the experienced guy stand there in a daze.

He had always thought that the so-called fully immersive virtual reality game was just a joke, or even a crude scam... Unexpectedly, the world before his eyes was even more shocking and vast than he had imagined! He sat on a stone pier beside the mountain road, letting his vision extend along the autumn red all over the mountains to the distant clouds and mist.

"here……"

“It’s almost like the real thing.”

It was worth it that he fought with the unscrupulous second-hand dealers for so long!

It is true that only those who have endured the most hardships can become the best. In an instant, he felt that all the hardships he had endured these days were worth it!

At this moment, Brother Experience didn’t want to think about anything. He just wanted to sit here quietly all day.

However, bad luck always seems to befall the "poor people". Just when he was thinking this, a line of dark green pop-up windows suddenly appeared in front of him.

[A low-activity account has been detected. ]

[Friendly reminder, this game is currently in the closed beta stage and has not been officially launched. The number of accounts that can be maintained is limited. If players are in a low-activity state for a long time, the game rights will be frozen until the end of the closed beta...]

Wang Shi Ru Yan's face changed instantly, and he jumped up from the ground as if his butt was on fire.

"Fuck!"

…

[Faith value: 7077]

[Daily growth: 3120 (+560)]

[Daily consumption: 1000 (+500)]

The magic workshop of the Demon King.

Luo Yan, who had been staying in bed for two hours, just woke up with a yawn. At this moment, he was sitting on the bed checking the "financial statements" of the Demon King's Territory.

When I woke up, my faith increased by 560 points.

It seems that Father Matt has caused quite a stir.

As for the increase in daily consumption, it is mainly due to the maintenance costs generated by new players.

Sixty percent of the players who logged in this time were skeleton soldiers, thirty percent were undead rats, and as for crypt spiders, there were still very few of them.

But that's up to them.

Anyway, everyone below the Iron level is cannon fodder, so it doesn't make much difference to him what he chooses.

"...I didn't expect that the residents of Silver Pine Town would not be worshipping the Demon King. I can also increase my faith value here."

Youyou floated to his side and said excitedly.

"Of course, Demon King, after all, the Flame King is you!"

Luo Yan touched his chin with interest.

"So, as long as it's a legend about me, regardless of whether it contains the element of the Demon King, I can gain Faith Points?"

Youyou thought about this question seriously for a while, then shook her head and said.

"Well, that's not it. At least there has to be an area of ​​cognitive overlap."

Luo Yan: "Overlap of cognition?"

Youyou: "That's right! For example, the amulet provided by the Flame King came from you, and the residents of Silver Pine Town believe in the Flame King to a large extent because the amulet he provided can suppress the undead. To round it off, people's belief in the Flame King is equivalent to believing in you! This is an area of ​​cognitive overlap."

"For example, you used your own life experience as a reference for the Flame King, right? If people also knew your life experience, Demon King, and found that you two were surprisingly similar, this could be a huge plus point! Of course, since you are so similar, there is also the risk of being exposed."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

I see.

Luo Yan probably understood what Youyou meant.

Simply put, the more similar the personalities of the two accounts are, the higher the overlap in the miracles they display, and the more faith he can share from the "small account".

And if the two aliases completely overlap, then there will be no question of whether to separate them or not, and people's faith in the King of Fire will be directly transferred to his "main title".

This sounds like the best approach.

However, revealing your identity is not without risks.

After all, the worship of the Flame King by the vast majority of Silver Pine Town residents has a prerequisite.

That is, the entire legend is within the framework of Saint Sith faith, not within the framework of the devil.

Before the local people's faith in Saint Sith was shaken, taking off the vest might make most people's faith in the Flame King return to zero. Even if this could increase their fear of the Demon King a little, it would be a loss-making behavior.

However, after listening to Youyou's words, Luo Yan came up with a good idea.

That means the Devil King will return to the Devil King, and the Flame King will return to the Flame King!

In the core territory under his control, he could directly use the acolytes to spread the faith of the Demon King, while outside the core territory, he mainly relied on bards and adventurers to spread the legend of the Flame King! It wasn't even just the Flame King.

He could open many similar vests in Saint Sith's territory, and then continue to fleece the church through similar means until the latter could no longer tolerate it! "...I understand the basic situation, I will pay attention to it."

"Hmm, you are worthy of being the Demon King! You understood the key to the problem in an instant!"

Seeing that the Demon King had understood what she meant, Youyou happily gave him a compliment.

However, Luo Yan had heard so much flattery that his ears were callused, so he didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he continued to focus on the "financial statements".

The consumption of faith value has been a bit high these days, mainly due to a number of extra expenses.

On the one hand, more than 100 players were upgraded to Black Iron, which directly consumed 10,000 points of his faith, accounting for the bulk of his expenditure.

Another is the resurrection cost.

Ordinary players are fine, as the basic resurrection cost is only a little. But once you reach the Iron level, the resurrection cost starts to vary with your level and race type.

For example, if the player's level is lv4 Iron Skeleton Soldier, the resurrection cost is 4+5=9 points. If it is lv4 Iron Crypt Spider, the resurrection cost soars to 4+10=14 points.

Although the overall cost of resurrection is in the double digits or below, it is still a considerable expense in total, with a total of 460 points spent in three days.

Of course, because of the existence of death penalties, most players are still cautious when faced with life and death decisions.

Especially for players who carry equipment, even if the ownership of the equipment is registered, it is still a hassle to pick it up, and they have to be careful that it may be taken away by adventurers or monsters.

According to the resurrection expenditure curve, as time goes by, players gradually become familiar with the characters they control. The resurrection expenditure will generally peak at the time when players are intensively reincarnated, and will show a downward trend in the following few days.

In addition, the natural growth and unexpected faith points gained in these three days added up to a little over six thousand.

Thanks to this income, otherwise Luo Yan’s faith reserves might not be enough to cover the players’ upgrades.

"To upgrade all 1,000 players to Black Iron, a total of 100,000 Faith Points would be required... Oh, that's expensive!"

One hundred thousand faith points are enough for him to reach Silver! When Luo Yan thought that players who reached Iron would soon start to reach Bronze, he felt his scalp tingling.

No wonder the chosen ones don’t live long.

"We need to find a way to reduce the contribution value..."

When I reach Silver, you guys can try to reach Bronze.

At this time, Youyou's voice suddenly came from the side.

"My Lord Demon, the messenger from the Land of Nightmares has come to visit you again. Your mount Alacdo is receiving you."

Putting away the mirror in his hand, Luo Yan got up from the bed.

"You came just in time. I just happened to have something to ask them. I asked that guy to wait for me at the old place."

"Okay!"

Youyou responded energetically, then floated away happily like a messenger bat.

Suddenly I thought that I could save the remaining 1,000 words for the next chapter, so that I can avoid the chapter break (end of this chapter)
