Although they knew it was a trick, they couldn't immediately figure out the conditions required to open this city passage. It was impossible for so many people to stay here forever, so Yang Jia finally decided to let everyone go back and not have to wait here all together.
As for the road construction, there is no need to stop. The pioneering team is moving fast anyway, and it will take a while for the road to be built here. This time is just right to think of a solution.
However, before letting them go, Yang Jia gathered all the people who came with the pioneering team and rewarded them according to their merits.
While everyone gained a lot during the exploration process, Phoenix City, as a higher-level collective, couldn't disregard the contributions of others. This was also a form of management. Even if these people didn't join the Nirvana Guild in the future, they would at least remain under Phoenix City's jurisdiction.
Moreover, whether to join or not sometimes depends entirely on how to take advantage of the situation.
It just so happens that Zhang Zitao has made some progress recently. Of course, this isn't about testing the system's progress, but rather about building the system platform. Previously, it was just a trial run, but now many modifications have been made, and the terminal issues have also been resolved.
Zhang Zitao's recent system research led to a lot of insights. Since this was in-game, and the data was already connected to the main system, they simply used the data from each person's login to bind and verify the terminal.
In this way, although the specific data cannot be viewed in their system, there are records of these people. In this way, a systematic management of players can naturally be formed.
Yang Jia has only recently begun to understand that the word "management" sounds very mysterious, as if it were a kind of trap to put someone in. But in reality, most of the time, the so-called "management" is very loose, and you wouldn't even notice its existence unless the concept was specifically mentioned.
The most important thing is to get everyone to develop habits that align with management's direction and form similar mindsets to management's requirements. This way, even without constraints, they will spontaneously act accordingly. In this atmosphere, a sense of order will subtly form.
What is surprising is that many of these truths were actually told to her by Li Bai.
On the surface, this person appears sharp and fierce, and countless people have been deceived by this appearance. But in reality, Li Bai is far more insightful than many people realize. Even Yang Jia, who thought he had some understanding of her before, still only stayed on the surface.
And now, after being accepted by Li Bai, the other party no longer hides it, and she can see it all clearly.
Yang Jia was certain that even if Li Bai hadn't yet decided on her future path, she would eventually succeed, given her abilities. Whether she was there or not was irrelevant. As for herself, no matter how she explained it, as an ordinary person, her vision and perspective were still too narrow, and she was incapable of many things. It was unclear how much she could help Li Bai, but she did learn a lot from him.
But she didn't say such words out loud.
She had been very clear about the gap between her and Li Bai from the beginning. Since she had chosen to follow this path, there was no need to feel sorry for herself. If she couldn't compare to Li Bai now, she would try her best to keep up with her. If she couldn't help, she wouldn't be a drag. When she had the ability in the future, she would help her in return.
Therefore, Yang Jia didn't ask for guild membership or anything like that. He first demonstrated the convenience of the system platform to everyone, and then based on their performance during this period, he recorded the credits for each person. Because the system analyzed the specific amount of credit each person received for each action, there was a very detailed record, which was absolutely convincing.
The system will calculate points for them based on these achievements. Points can be used to redeem items from the city lord's treasury. They can even conduct player-to-player transactions through the system platform, using system points as currency.
Of course, to use this platform, you first need a dedicated terminal that is bound to your personal data, so that even if you lose it, your data will not be leaked. This will ensure the maximum security of each player's property.
According to Yang Jia's suggestion, this terminal was made to look like a mobile phone, and a smart phone at that.
Before this meeting, the members of the Nirvana Guild had already linked their terminals, giving each of them a new phone. Of course, these items were redeemed with points. However, as guild members participating in the development team, their contributions would be calculated within the guild, and these contributions could be redeemed for items in the guild warehouse. Given the current relationship between the Nirvana Guild and Phoenix City, the guild warehouse would undoubtedly be even more comprehensive.
So to put it bluntly, the purpose of holding this meeting is to show off in front of other players - to let them know how powerful, rich, and capable the Nirvana Guild is, and most importantly, how good it is to its own players!
If other players want to obtain terminals, they need to use their own points to exchange first. If they do not have enough points, they can exchange the various materials they have obtained during this period for the system. You can also use this method to obtain system points at ordinary times and then exchange them for what you need.
After listening to Yang Jia's explanation, a solo player immediately asked, "What if we want to join the Nirvana Guild?"
Yang Jia glanced at him. He was the captain of a small, independent team of seven. It wasn't too large, but not too small either. He was one of the people Li Bai had mentioned earlier about wanting to join the Nirvana Guild. His speaking up at this point was a big help.
If no one had taken up the offer, Yang Jia would have considered finding someone to help her. But now that he had spoken, it saved her a lot of trouble. She immediately said, "Our Nirvana Guild sincerely welcomes all players to join, and we will make an exception and include your contributions to this land reclamation as part of our calculations."
Several captains immediately expressed their willingness to join the Nirvana Guild. Since they were all going to stay in Phoenix City anyway, and since the Nirvana Guild's style of operation wasn't overbearing and this would only benefit them, they naturally chose to join.
Unfortunately, there are still some people who did not choose to join the Nirvana Guild.
These people may have their own plans, or it may not be convenient at the moment. In any case, they did not respond to Yang Jia's intentions.
Fortunately, they also use terminals for redeeming points.
——It's obvious that with this system platform, all communication and transactions between players will be conducted on it. If others have a terminal but I don't, then I'm out of touch with all the players here!
The undercover agents sent from other cities also took away a terminal, presumably to study it and report back. However, Yang Jia was not worried that they would come up with another system after their research.
You have to understand that Zhang Zitao's success was entirely due to luck, not experience. Even he couldn't explain how he succeeded, and he wouldn't be able to do it again, let alone others. Yang Jia always felt that the system played a greater role in this matter.
So if a city does come up with a different system, there's nothing we can do about it. Those who can succeed will succeed no matter what.
And if they fail, this may not be another advantage for Phoenix.
The importance of an interactive system to a game goes without saying. It's what makes a game truly a world of its own. While there are still ways to communicate in games now, they're largely NPC-style, resulting in low player engagement and minimal impact.
If all players in this game could be incorporated into this system, and this system was controlled by Phoenix City, the huge benefits could be imagined. It could even change the entire game landscape, and naturally would have a significant impact on Yang Jia and Li Bai's plans.
So even though not many people participated today, Yang Jia was still very happy because the news would soon spread and everyone would know.
After this matter was dealt with, Yang Jia and Li Bai packed up their things and prepared to return to the city temporarily.
She'd definitely have to return, but as the City Lord, Yang Jia had been away from Phoenix City for so long, and there were many things she needed to attend to. More importantly, of course, was the pressing issue of the firewall. When Zhang Zitao had the terminal delivered earlier, he also passed on a message that he seemed to have made some new progress. It was just that it was difficult to talk with so many people around, so Yang Jia needed to go back. And since Li Bai knew about Yang Jia's hidden dangers, of course he had to go along.
As a result, before Yang Jia had finished collecting all the things, there was another person in front of him.
She looked up and immediately recognized him. He was a lone ranger among the casual players, incredibly powerful in combat, but with a more distinct personality than Li Bai, and he rarely spoke to anyone. He was accompanied by two other teammates, both of whom were also taciturn. This trio was so striking that many players had privately discussed them.
"Is there something wrong?" Yang Jia asked when he saw the other party staring at him.
The man looked at her for a moment, then turned to look in the direction of Li Bai and smiled. "I came here to see what the famous Li Bai is like. But..." He nodded at Yang Jia with his chin, "Only when I got here did I realize that you seem to be more interesting."
Yang Jia: "..." No matter how you think about it, these words don't sound like good things.
