Chapter 168 The Birth of the Empress

"Hello everyone, welcome to this week's game update. I'm your favorite narrator!"

"For today's episode, the original intention of the director was to make a video about GTA6 to take advantage of the popularity of this new game."

"But when the video was being recorded, a piece of ridiculous news happened to come out in the domestic gaming industry, so the director suddenly decided to tear up the copy that had already been written..."

"Well, without further ado, let me take you through this major gaming event that made the director exclaim in amazement and stay up for two consecutive nights, just like watching a TV series and couldn't stop watching it!"

"Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm! Just hearing the name, everyone may be curious about what kind of game this is?"

"Actually, the game is very simple, it's the marbles we all loved to play when we were kids. But there are multiple modes added to the game, which is more fancy than what we played when we were kids, such as the Soul of Marbles..."

"...Although this player [Brother Ba's Little Sweet Wife] did not have many achievements, she was posthumously named the First Emperor. She reigned for only one night and was assassinated the next day and lost the throne."

"Then there is [Yellow Ox Heavenly Lord], who should be one of the rare wise rulers in the annals of marbles!"

"The greatest achievement of Huangniu Tianzun, also known as Huangniu Taizu Emperor, is that on the first day of his accession to the throne, he distributed 100 marbles as a welfare to all the players in the server."

"This has become a tradition. After him, every new emperor who inherits the throne will give rewards to the entire server to stabilize the people's hearts..."

"But Huangniu Taizu was also unlucky. Although he had great ambitions, he was betrayed by the people he trusted and his throne was usurped. This incident was also called the "Playground Mutiny" by countless players..."

"After the mutiny on the playground, the [Scalper's In-Law Relative] came to power, ushering in the era of in-laws! This new emperor is keen on pleasure, especially addicted to online dating. He has flirted with female players many times, causing public outrage."

"The [Scalper's Relative] who had been in power for five days was punished by the gods and killed offline by the game officials. The heroes rose up and the Scalper Dynasty died in the second generation..."

"In just 14 days, this game has changed 7 rulers. The players' enthusiasm for rebellion and the process of fighting for power are a hundred times more exciting than a TV series!"

"It is said that after watching the film, the director risked being beaten to death by his wife and gritted his teeth to buy a copy of "Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm" and joined the race for the throne."

"Of course, there is no throne in this game! This is just a humorous way of saying it. If you can't be an emperor, you can only be a principal..."

"But then again, this principal is no different from the emperor. After all, the players are all students of this school."

"Okay, that's all for this video. If you like it, remember to triple-click. I've put the game links in the comments section. Interested friends can purchase and download them by themselves."

The video has finished.

Chen Ba rolled the mouse wheel and scrolled down the browser page to the video comment area.

"It's so funny! How did a game of marbles turn into a battle for supremacy among seven kingdoms?"

"Rebellion, huh? Take me with you!"

"Huang Niu Taizu is a well-deserved emperor of all ages. Just because he gives benefits to all the players in the server, I will be his fan for life..."

"My dear wife, the First Emperor is okay, although he didn't have many achievements, but he forged the marbles that were handed down from generation to generation. Without the marbles, how could there be a marble continent where everyone can be called an emperor?"

"By the way, how did Tyrant Black Emperor die? He lost the throne for no apparent reason. It feels so strange!"

"The game announcement was modified to imply that Brother Ba was single and had no girlfriend. If this happened in ancient times, it would be very reasonable to curse the heavens and be struck to death by lightning, right?"

"Hahaha, I'm almost dying of laughter in the comment section. Are all you "Don't Leave After School" players' words so funny?"

How come everyone has the title of emperor? After taking a quick look at the comments section, Chen Ba seemed to have found the answer to the question he had been thinking about for a long time.

Not long ago, shortly after the death of Emperor Jiaoqi and the ascension of Emperor Huangniu Taizu, Tianba Studio launched a discussion.

The discussion was simple.

Should we shut down the server for maintenance to completely eliminate the red marble, which the players jokingly called the "Imperial Seal"? Xiao Lu thought we could wait and see.

Although this marble represents the administrator's authority in the game, if this authority is controlled by the player, it may cause extremely serious consequences...

But in the final analysis, Tianba Studio holds the final decision-making power, and this marble only appears on server No. 3, so only this one server is affected.

certainly!

The most important thing is that although this heirloom marble represents great authority, players do not have the corresponding operational background, so the authority that can be used is actually not that outrageous.

For example, if you want to ban an account, you have to use a special background tool. The player who gets this marble theoretically has the authority to ban other people's accounts, but they don't have the corresponding background tool.

It's okay to ban people!

In the chat channel, you can mute a player by right-clicking on him/her, without the need for special background tools.

To put it bluntly.

The administrator authority represented by this marble can actually be used by players through the "Silver Ball" which is "comparable to a plug-in", which allows players to modify game announcements, become the principal of the game, mute other players and copy props.

Infinite marbles?

This is true in theory, but in actual operation, due to the lack of corresponding background and tools, only the marbles in the backpack can be copied, and only 100 marbles can be copied at a time.

Moreover, due to the size of the backpack, the marbles are said to be infinite, but in fact they are limited. They can be replenished without any consumption after they are used up.

Looking at it this way, it’s actually no big deal.

On the contrary, because of the authority and status represented by this marble, Tianba Sanxiao, which is the third area in the game, has become extremely lively.

More than 100,000 players flooded into the three zones instantly, with over 100,000 people queuing on the servers every day, and the servers were almost overwhelmed.

Where do so many people come from?

Thinking of this, Chen Ba was speechless.

The saying "Kings, princes, generals, and ministers are all born with a different species" has a huge impact on the Chinese people. When they learned that they had the opportunity to play the role of an emperor in the game, almost all players went crazy.

Rebellion, rebellion!

In order to fight for the red marble that represents power and status, more than 100,000 people in the entire three districts were scheming and fighting all day long.

Tianba No. 3 Primary School has changed seven principals in 14 days. The average term of office of each principal is less than two days. This is enough to show how crazy everyone is.

It really fits the saying: In the marble continent, everyone can be the king! Based on the grand scene of the heroes competing for the throne, and the overall situation being controllable, even if a player gets the authority and does something that angers the heavens and the people, he can still kill it alone offline, so Chen Ba is relieved.

He has to make a living! He doesn't care if the players rebel and usurp the throne. He is engaged in a buyout online game, and the growth of sales is what he cares most about.

Just as Chen Ba was thinking about whether he should add fuel to the drama and make the incident more popular and influential, Zhong Shengwei came over.

"Brother Ba, a player in Area 2 just upgraded his Marble Soul to over level 30 in the Marble Soul mode."

“…”

Although he guessed the reason, Chen Ba couldn't help but ask, "Is the server going haywire again?"

"Yes!"

Zhong Shengwei said with a bitter face: "We just finished fixing the server in District 3, and District 2 has problems again. What should we do?"

"Just let it sit!"

"District Three is having so much fun, I think it's no problem for District Two to have a battle for the throne as well."

Chen Ba shook his head.

It is inevitable that the server will malfunction, resulting in a few more or fewer players in a game.

However, even if 99% of the players encounter this situation, it is difficult to defeat 30 people and upgrade the Marble Soul to level 30 or above.

If such a macho man really existed, it was only natural for him to obtain the imperial marbles and establish a dynasty. Anyway, with the precedent of the three districts, other players would surely rebel.

Compared to this...

Chen Ba is actually more curious about what would happen if two or even more "Heirloom Marbles" appeared in the same server?

"Two heirloom marbles?"

Zhong Shengwei widened his eyes and said thoughtfully: "Who will win if they fight?"

"Let's see whose marble soul has a higher hidden level!"

"But even if this happens, it is highly likely that the marble will not be retained because the first-mover advantage is too great."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Chen Ba had already thought of the outcome.

The frequency of server malfunctions is quite high. Over time, combined with the bug of the Soul of Marble, it will inevitably give rise to many permission marbles.

However, in a server area, there is destined to be only one heirloom marble that can dominate. The heirloom marbles that appear later, even if they have the same authority, cannot defeat marbles with higher hidden levels and can only be "destroyed".

…

There are five servers in "Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm", and they are Tianba Primary School No. 1, No. 2, and No. 5, respectively. Among them, Tianba No. 3 has the worst environment, because it is the first server to give birth to the "throne", and more than 100,000 players have flocked to it.

Everyone is staring at that red marble, trying their best to win the throne...

Now it's Ghost Dynasty.

The player named [Ghost Hunter] has succeeded the "Principal of Tianba Three Elementary School" for three days.

All forces are gearing up for battle, undercurrents are surging within the Three Smalls, and everyone is waiting for an opportunity. As long as the Ghost Emperor shows up, he will be slain.

Unfortunately, the Ghost Emperor is too cowardly.

Perhaps it was because the deaths of the previous principals were too tragic, which left him with lingering fears. He dared not easily show up for fear of being assassinated by unscrupulous people. When he went online, he only dared to show off in the lobby and only played in the Solo mode.

Everyone thought that the Ghost Emperor was so cowardly that it would be difficult to take away his throne except for Brother Ba to launch a heavenly punishment.

After all, he only plays in Solo mode. With the traditional marbles in his hand, who can be his opponent? Ghost Hunter also thinks so.

He felt that as long as he was so cowardly and did not offend Brother Ba, he could sit on the throne for a few months and establish the longest-lived dynasty without any problems.

But he never expected that there was someone who was even more cowardly than him, who could be called the king of cowards!

He thought that he would not fail if he only played in Solo mode, but he never expected that the heirloom marble in his hand was not the only one.

【Cherry pancake sauce】

The name sounds like a female player, but that is not the point. The point is that Cherry Pie also has a blue marble with national authority in her hand.

“No… Impossible!”

The ghost hunter was dumbfounded. The heirloom marble in his hand was inherited from [Brother Ba’s Little Wife].

In addition to the red marble in his hand, there are other marbles with national authority in District 3? Where did they come from?

"It was typed out!"

"As long as you upgrade the Marble Soul to level 30 or above in the special mode, you can keep the Marble Soul permanently. Don't you know that?"

"I know, but..."

Looking at the description of the current channel, the ghost hunter wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say at all.

Scold her for being too secretive? She obviously has the traditional marbles but she is so low-key and hasn't even exposed them?

But it wasn't her fault! Everyone had subconsciously fallen into a misconception, thinking that there could only be one such marble in a server and that there couldn't be a second one.

Now that’s good!

The other party dared to accept this solo duel and waited until now to reveal her identity, which means that the hidden level of the blue heirloom marble in her hand is definitely very high.

I can't tell the exact level.

After all, once the Marble Soul exceeds level 30, the level column will become ??? and will not be displayed.

But even if you use your ass to think, you can tell that while they were fighting for the throne and engaging in all kinds of intrigues, the other party had been secretly developing for who knows how long...

The marble soul must be very scary to jump out at this time! It turns out that the ghost hunter was not wrong. The player named [Cherry Pie Sauce] has indeed been developing secretly for a long time.

She didn't know what level the Marble Soul was at, but it was definitely more powerful than the marble in the Ghost Hunter's hand, so it was easy to defeat him.

When the game was over, the Ghost Hunter left the game plane dejectedly, the Ghost Dynasty collapsed instantly, and after the Empress [Cherry Pie Sauce] used her authority to modify the game announcement, all the players were shocked.

What? There is more than one Heirloom Marble? That's right! Everyone just remembered that Brother Ba seemed to have explained in an announcement that the Heirloom Marble is actually a hidden mechanism that is triggered after the Marble Soul reaches level 30.

Of course! Brother Ba calls it a hidden mechanism, but everyone knows that this is a game bug, but Brother Ba just refuses to admit it.

The players suddenly realized that in addition to rebellion, there was a shortcut to the throne!

But then again…

Although there is an extra path, it is not easy to take. You must have extremely good luck and happen to encounter a server glitch with more than 30 players in the game.

You also need to have solid pinball skills and be confident of defeating 30 players, otherwise you won't be able to seize the opportunity.

Thinking about it this way, rebellion is more practical and simpler! What happened to the empress?

Everyone rebelled for the throne, and they didn't care whether the person sitting on the throne was a man or a woman.

"But……"

"The Empress revealed her black stockings photos!"

After reading the popular posts in the community, Chen Ba couldn't help but sigh: "After seeing the photos, I want to join her. It seems a bit difficult to rebel against her!"

Ordinary players do not have so many loyal supporters and fans, so they cannot maintain their position.

But [Cherry Biscuit Sauce] is a female player, and she exposed her black stockings photos, which instantly captured a large number of licking dogs and formed a goddess guard team...

She can't really sit firmly on the throne, right?
