King from scratch

When He Xingwen was talking to the system, the players who fell into confusion did not do nothing. On the contrary, everyone who knew the inside story of the game reacted instinctively.

They will not wait for the king to come down to solve the problem, just as He Xingwen takes the menacing Zerg as his responsibility for granted, these people also take the players as their responsibility for granted.

But the order is not so easy to maintain. The continuous stream of players is an insurmountable objective factor. Countless people are crowded together, and it is difficult to move an inch.

The situation was stalemate for a while, and as the number of players increased, it surpassed the original 10,000+ internal beta/public beta players several times in an instant, and another function that was almost forgotten by everyone was suddenly launched again.

[Special skill: group connection (note: this skill has a distance limit), it can only be used when the number of players on the scene accounts for more than 90.00% of all players. 】

The regional call channel is unlocked again after the Arcane Academy incident, and this time the unlocked area covers the entire kingdom.

In an instant, the ears of all players were bombarded by countless sounds.

"Is this a public channel?"

"Damn it, don't squeeze it blindly. Is it going out or in? You should discuss it, I was trampled to death twice!"

"Why is my birth point right here with Druids? Druids are too ferocious, and it's a big move to come straight up. I didn't even see what the surroundings looked like, and I died dozens of times."

"Why squeeze? There are so many mountains, so I can't go out? I have to go inside, so I can't go in and I can't retreat."

"The npc is inside, can the people inside give way?"

"Can the people outside make way? I want to go out, but I can't."

"Fuck, where have I been squeezed into? How can I look at it at a glance, the sky is vast and there is nothing?"

"No, how many people are there in this open beta? Has anyone gone to the forum to inform that the next ones are not on the game? Let's take it easy?"

"If you say don't play games, don't play games. Who are you?"

"Where's His Majesty the King? Where's the planner?"

"Do the task! Don't stop me! I want to do the task!"

"Wow, this is a holographic game!"

"Hello? Howard you?"

"fine, thank you."

"What kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be? This game has its own translation, how are you? What a fart."

"No, I've been here for half an hour, where's the npc? Why didn't I see a hair?"

"Ghost knows? I don't even know where I am. When I look up, my head is full of people. When I look down, there are feet everywhere."

"This Mage Tower is too fierce. I didn't do it on purpose. There were so many people crowded behind, so I accidentally passed by. In the end, a thunderbolt struck me to death."

Countless voices exploded in the players' ears in just a few seconds. Words of different volumes and accents were stacked together, almost playing the effect of magic sounds piercing the ears, almost sending away most of the players directly.

The players who were attacked by a wave of spirits reacted and shouted in the public channel: "Stop talking, it's too noisy."

"Ear, my ear!"

"Is it okay to have a little public morality? I'm almost deaf when so many people talk."

"stop fighting."

The group of people who persuaded others to stop talking caused a second wave of magic sounds to the players, and then there was another wave of magic sounds piercing the players who scolded this group of people for "telling others to stop talking, but they themselves spoke so loudly". Ear,

In just a few minutes, the never-ending public channel happily made the players go farther and farther on the road of deafness, so that the players were forced to be quiet in the blink of an eye.

Players looked for a button to close the channel on the player page, and found that...the planner didn't design an option to close this function at all.

Seeing that the situation was about to deteriorate further, someone stood up.

"Squad 117, Squad 321," the other party's voice was mixed in the countless noisy background sounds and was not noticed by most people: "I am Shao Ming, senior inspector, how is the situation?"

"Squad 117 is located in the Tenth City of the Kingdom, and the scene is in chaos. Squad 117 has now boarded the train to Novice Village."

"Squad 321 is located at the mine lode on the top of the mountains. The situation here is stable. The players have not gone deep yet. They are now on standby."

"The captains of each team reported their positions and reorganized their teams with the team members in the nearby area. Team 117 started to clear the traffic from Xinshou Village to maintain law and order, and took the lead in restoring the formation of each team. Team 321 began to guide the players to disperse from the original place on the top of the mountains. Relieve traffic pressure."

With the arrangement of the other party acting like no one else was there, and more and more people responded, the public channel gradually became quiet.

Thus, those who responded increasingly appeared to be disciplined and numerous.

The voice of reporting the position in the channel has never been interrupted. After a concise report, the next one can always follow up quickly. According to the rules that a certain player does not know, the report is not messy at all.

Players are not bothered by the magic sound now, after all, the problem at hand has become - who am I playing games with?

The reorganization of queues on the spot by each team is the first step in integrating order.

The quiet public channel provides them with a channel to issue orders and learn about them.

Countless players are trapped in the crowd, swaying around with the surge of the crowd. Although most people have realized that the situation is wrong, the players trapped in it cannot form an effective force.

At the outermost edge, Team 117 and Team 321 dug a small opening to clear the way. From this small opening, it was difficult to maintain the crowds that poured out, so that the traffic would not be blocked again.

Teams were reorganized in the crowd, and were forced to disrupt the team and form a new team because of the random birth point, but the unfamiliarity among the team members did not prevent them from performing their duties.

Among the disordered players, they reorganize the order.

The disorder of players is naturally caused by their identities, but the army is different, they take obeying orders as their bounden duty.

This is the fundamental reason why the player's order can be stabilized or even dredged.

A huge shadow hovered in the sky of the kingdom, patrolling the suddenly quiet crowd below.

The golden dragon's huge body was shining brightly under the light, and every muscle of his body was showing absolute strength. There was a tiny figure in his slightly curved claws.

After Tuol Jin waited and waited, and finally waited for the player's self-stabilization result, the king finally boarded the thief ship... Ah, no, it was the situation of preparing to officially confirm the kingdom.

So, at this moment, he stood in Tuo Er Jin's claws, overlooking the situation below from a height.

What?ride a dragon?

Leaving aside whether the dragons are willing or not, from the most practical point of view, based on the size comparison between He Xingwen and Tuoer Jin, that is not riding a dragon, but lying on the scales, let alone looking at the scenery below. He Xingwen sat on the back of the Dragon Clan at the height of his body, and he couldn't see anything except the huge dragon body.

On the contrary, the dragon's claws are just right, not only allowing He Xingwen to stand firm, but also seeing the situation below through the gaps in the dragon's claws.

Only by looking at it from a high place can one understand what the number unit of [-] million still means.

Whether it's the land of God's Fall on a plain, the arcane academy in the boundless desert, the peaks of endless mountains, or the lush endless forest, there are densely packed players all over the place.

As far as the eye can see, there are mountains and plains, and players are overwhelming, invading every originally empty no-man's land.

This is not the player's subjective will, but when there is no room for players in the city, and when there is no room for players in the open space near the city, then the players will naturally spread to other open spaces to gain some ground.

This is the reason why Tuoer Jin had to let He Xingwen come and see for himself after wandering in the sky several times.

In his eyes, the kingdom is only a stone's throw away from collapse.

No one has seen this kind of scene - no, it should be said that no one has seen such a scene caused by their own people.

Long-lived species like Tull King have seen this kind of scene. For example, the last time the Zerg attacked, the enemy almost launched an attack with the momentum of filling up the South China Sea.

However, the judgment that the kingdom is only a short distance away from collapse was the conclusion of Tuo Er Jin a few minutes ago.

Because now, the disordered players are integrating in an orderly manner.

He Xingwen looked around and got a rough idea of ​​the current situation before returning to the main city. He looked up at the automatic command port that could be seen everywhere on the road, and his eyes slowly rose along it until he saw the silver-white road in the sky. .

After the last Kingdom Update, almost all of the updated equipment was up and running, except for these sky roads.

Because it has no use for it.

The roads on the ground are enough for players and npcs to travel by public transportation and single-person suspension pods, and people naturally don't need the roads in the sky.

Until now, the crowded crowd and the crashing traffic made He Xingwen immediately turn his attention to the road suspended in the sky.

Zhe hurried over, glanced at Tuoer Jin and said, "Your Majesty, there are too many players and not enough people in the kingdom..."

"It's okay." He Xingwen turned his gaze away from the sky and said, "They don't care about this right now."

I can't even walk the road, let alone find an npc to pick up the task.

"Use these," He Xingwen gestured upwards, and said to Zhe: "It should relieve the traffic pressure a little."

Although it may not be able to alleviate much, after all, the carrying capacity of the kingdom's infrastructure is far lower than the current number of players.

But He Xingwen is not worried about this. After all, players should have gotten used to one thing in the closed beta and public beta - that is, there is no such thing as a game experience in this game.

The road to infrastructure construction is long and endless, and it's time for players to realize this.

After He Xingwen gave Zhe his instructions, he walked leisurely towards the gate of the city, as if he didn't feel any pressure at all in the scene where countless players were pressing down on him.

Space teleportation is really the most admirable thing in this world. Nubida, who successfully escaped from the players by using space teleportation, thought so from the bottom of his heart, and then looked at each other in the center of the main city.

Nubida looked around.

Doti led a group of mages in a threatening manner; Lincoln and Norman Jin looked somber, as if someone owed them millions; Tuoer Jin shook his head, as if sighing; Anuta... did not see Anuta The figure, I don't know if it failed to escape from the siege of the players; the dwarves were also not present, but this is not surprising, the relationship between the dwarves and the kingdom is different from them.

It's like Nubida and the others escaped from the players at the first time. With the dwarves' stubborn eyes, they will only stay and reorganize the order.

The appearance of Nubida was quite disturbing. Tuoer Jin and others cast their gazes in his direction, only to see densely packed demons.

"You ran decisively enough," Tuo Er Jin reflexively said, "Is this bringing all the demons here?"

"There are too many players in Novice Village," Nubida said confidently, "I'm too enthusiastic about all the kingdom's people, I can't stay here anymore."

"That's called being overly enthusiastic?" Duoti, who was deeply hurt by it, raised his voice and said, "I think they can't wait to tear down the mage tower."

Lincoln said coldly: "The Mage Tower hasn't been demolished yet? But the Everfree Forest has almost been tossed. What the king didn't do, they helped the king complete."

Nubida turned to the other demons and said, "Go find a place to live by yourself."

The rest of the demons scattered.

Tuo Er Jinxin, who had already looked around the state of the kingdom, said with a sigh of relief: "The king really does what he says. He said that there are hundreds of millions of players, and there are really hundreds of millions."

There is a rhetorical technique called hyperbole, and everyone is accustomed to it, but no one thought that the king was actually a realist.

Duo Ti's expression was serious: "A few hundred million is fine. In such a hurry, the kingdom is not prepared at all. What is the king thinking? How to destroy the Great Wall?"

Lincoln is not interested in what the king is doing. He only came to the main city for one purpose: "What is the king going to do with the current situation? When will those stupid players get out of Everfree Forest?"

Nubida glanced at Thor King.

Tuol Jin rolled his eyes and gestured towards the city gate: "The Kingdom has gone there, if you are interested, you can ask yourself."

Nubida urged him dissatisfied: "Don't just watch the fun, tell me something you know."

Toll King knew one thing: "The player is already in control of the situation."

Upon hearing this, Nubida turned around and walked towards the gate of the city.

He Xingwen paced across the empty roads of the main city, stopped inside the city gate, and glanced at the situation outside.

With players everywhere, the outside of the main city is inevitably full of players. If it weren't for the main city prohibiting players from entering, the interior of the main city would not be so peaceful.

He Xingwen waited a little, until he found a familiar face.

He Xiangwen, who had the authority to enter the main city because he had participated in the meeting before, stepped into the main city when the orderly team began to rectify the order of the city gate, and met He Xingwen face to face.

He Xingwen spoke first: "How is the situation?"

"It's still in the process of integration, and there are some conflicts, but it's not a big problem." After He Xiangwen answered the question, he went straight to the point: "What is the kingdom's plan?"

Perhaps because he felt that the question was too direct, he added: "The Kingdom simply can't consume so many players right now."

He Xingwen admitted this without hesitation: "Providing infrastructure for hundreds of millions or even billions of players is beyond the kingdom's capabilities."

This is not something that one person can handle, even if the player does not live here.

"We also thought of this." He Xiangwen was not surprised by He Xingwen's answer, but he was a little ashamed: "If it weren't for the recovery of the earth's spiritual energy, which is not conducive to human beings..."

He Xingwen stopped him from continuing, and then turned his head to look at the devil who was slowly arriving.

As soon as the king's eyes fell on Nubida's direction, the figure of the demon appeared, with a familiar desire to perform: "King, something is wrong!"

He Xingwen ignored him, turned to He Xiangwen and said, "Since the Zerg race is coming in a fierce manner, we can only rely on you to fight against the enemy."

He Xiangwen glanced at the devil, smiled and said, "This is what it should be."

Nubida didn't get a response from the king, so he immediately stopped talking and listened to the corner of the wall openly.

He Xingwen didn't drive him away either, and continued: "The kingdom is poor and empty right now, and the weapons and equipment are far from enough. I'm afraid you have to do it yourself."

He Xiangwen seemed to have grasped the meaning of His Majesty the King.

He Xingwen continued: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, even the place to stay has not yet been completed..." He glanced at He Xiangwen: "I'm afraid you have to do it yourself."

Nubida understood how the king planned to solve the current big trouble.

He intends to let the players figure it out on their own.

Based on Nubida's understanding of players, this is undoubtedly a fantasy.

Disorderly, greedy and stupid players will only get out of control in the crowd, just like this scene.

He Xiangwen frowned slightly, and said truthfully: "It's a bit difficult, there are mixed players, plus the particularity of the game, such a huge number..."

He Xingwen is also very clear about the problem: "So when it is an extraordinary time, do an extraordinary thing."

He Xingwen explained: "The Zerg is not far from the mainland, you have to hurry up, if you can't take it slowly, then be a little more aggressive."

The chaotic players are still slowly consolidating.

The chaotic situation in the kingdom is far from improving. Those who should be huddled together are still huddled together. The objectively huge number is there, and further measures are needed to completely change the chaotic situation.

For example, the sudden appearance of "Kingdom Army".

One hour after the start of the global public beta, a group of special players suddenly switched to a special profession: Kingdom Knights.

Players don't know what special skills this profession has, but one thing has already been placed in front of players. These knights of the kingdom are numerous and disciplined, and they are different from ordinary players.

The other is a large-scale mission that appears in front of new players one after another.

【Kingdom Infrastructure Construction Chain Quest】

[Extermination of the South China Sea Zerg large-scale activity task]

[Temporary citizen to regular long-term task]

The dazed players who were surrounded by the crowd had found the correct way to play the game. They took over the mission one after another, and then looked at the content of the chain mission of infrastructure construction - building a real city.

The first step is to register with the Knights of the Kingdom.

Let's look at the specific content of exterminating the Zerg in the South China Sea - exterminating the Zerg.

The first step is to register with the Knights of the Kingdom.

The players' heads were full of question marks, and they hadn't figured out what a kingdom knight was. When they looked up, hey, there were four big golden characters "Knight of the Kingdom" floating in front of the names of the players who were directing the crowd to evacuate not far away. It is more conspicuous than the question mark symbolizing the task in the page game.

So the crowd flocked, and on the premise that the other party maintained order, they lined up and began to register.

"Name?"

"Big White Teeth."

"age?"

"23."

"gender?"

"male."

"Native place, expertise, hobbies..."

"Wait? Is this also the content of the registration?"

"The number of the holographic game cabin."

"?"

This question mark not only appeared in Da Bai Ya's mind, but also in the minds of countless new players who were about to complete the mission.

Seemingly aware of the other party's confusion, the stern-faced 'Knight of the Kingdom' explained very seriously: "In order to prevent someone from impersonating."

No, what is there to impersonate?Has this task been completed, and the system can still make mistakes?

Is this explanation a little too careless?

Although Da Bai Ya had a lot to say, but...the inexplicable aura of the other party prevented him from saying it.

As if realizing that Da Bai Ya was not persuaded, the other party held back another explanation: "Anti-addiction..."

The more you say it, the more outrageous it is. The game cabin has its own anti-addiction function, so why don’t you need to register again?

Seeing that suspicion gradually appeared in Da Bai Fang's eyes, the other party said slowly: "Policy requirements."

"You should have said it earlier." Da Bai Ya waved his hand and reported the number of his game cabin to the other party.

Such scenes appear repeatedly in all the territory of the kingdom, and this new team is gradually completing the understanding and registration of the player's situation in this way.

The game cabins are installed by professionals from the Special Bureau, and the data bound to each game cabin number is stored in the database of the Special Bureau.

The huge mechanism is slowly operating, turning the huge numbers into gears, and forming a rough prototype of a behemoth in a different world.

At this moment, most players are unaware of this. After registering, they are still busy obeying the command of the knights of the kingdom, spontaneously clearing up the chaos and directing traffic—until they receive the next task.

The existence of Kingdom Knights and the abnormalities in information registration have revealed many hints, so that various conspiracy theories about holographic games are rampant again.

Not all players among them are willing to obey the command of the knights of the kingdom, but most of these new players were persuaded after receiving a series of declines in the reputation and favor of the kingdom.

Those who were not convinced, after losing the prestige and favor of the kingdom, suddenly found that they had fallen into a situation where they had no quests to accept, could not trade with Ai Zhijin, and were even ignored by all npcs.

This level is enough to convince most players.

And there are very few "mighty and unyielding" players - most of these players are foreign friends, and they have all received system warnings.

[System warning: The knights of the kingdom are doubting your loyalty to the kingdom, please prove your loyalty.

Otherwise, it will be regarded as a betrayal of the kingdom. Those who betray the kingdom will be expelled from the kingdom. The reputation of the kingdom will be permanently locked in the state of hatred. The npc of the kingdom will unconditionally kill the betrayer. 】

In other words, the Kingdom never gave players the option to disobey the arrangements of the "Knights of the Kingdom" from the very beginning.
