Bix Magic Cube Game World

"So, I came to join you, and you just left me alone." Ai Jin said bitterly.

After knowing that Eagle had returned to the manor, Aijin told the guards to relax a bit, and ran over to find Eagle himself.

He still knows etiquette very well. He didn't come when Igor just came back yesterday. After Igor got a full rest, he came at this very appropriate time.

In fact, Ai Jin was also very depressed. He had just come to join Eagle, but Eagle ran away. Fortunately, he came back soon, otherwise Ai Jin really didn't know what to do.

His status was embarrassing. As a powerful earl, he couldn't even return to his fiefdom. He was able to stay in Golden Rose Manor only as a friend of Eagle.

If Eagle is gone, Aijin can't stay here either.

And there is no room for Aijin in such a big Esmia kingdom. He has the title of earl for nothing, and now he has nothing. Who will pay attention to him?

Eagle looked at Ai Jin, and Ai Jin felt a little uncomfortable, "What are you doing?"

"Are you free?" Eagle said suddenly.

Ai Jin said awkwardly, "It's a little bit, anyway, there's nothing to do now."

He is a really special kind of nobleman. The average nobleman has a big family. There are many prosperous noble families, and there are definitely many extended relatives.

However, the Aijin family itself is a new nobleman, and almost all members of the family died in the previous war, and he was the only one left.

Now that the territory has been taken away, the original territory has already belonged to someone else.

It is really unaccompanied and there is no way out.

"So, what are your plans for the future." Eagle sighed.

Ai Jin thought for a while, "Follow you for the time being." What if you get ahead after you get along?

In the early years, their family was just a small nobleman, and they got to the present thanks to their cleverness in standing in line.

Eagle smiled wryly, "You don't even look at my current situation."

Pei Sen couldn't help but glance at the two teenagers. Iger is 15 years old this year. In fact, Aijin is not very mature. This year, he is 17 and a half years old. Compared with children of this age in reality on the earth, the two of them are actually much more mature. .

However, Igor thought for a while, "I want to rebuild Lannorland, and I just have the manpower and plan. If you are really bored, you can help me do this first."

"That's a good idea," Aijin laughed. "I used to think you were too useless. Even if you were exiled to this place, you can do nothing. Besides, you are far from Balster The principality is too close, and if it is really built...you don't have to count on the king's capital."

Eagle was thoughtful, "You mean—"

"You know that," Akin said veiledly.

Pei Sen was stunned. What are these two brats talking about? Isn't it what he thought?

He was almost thought to be from Balster before. In fact, Wallis, Kui Lang and the others did the slave trade before, and those who were trafficked were basically Balster.

The Principality of Balster that Aijin said borders on the Kingdom of Esmia. In fact, half a day's journey eastward from Casey City is already the border of the Principality of Balster.

However, the Principality of Balster has been in war for many years. In the early years, the Principality of Balster was still a kingdom. Later, the Grand Duke of Balster seized all the land of the kingdom, so it became the Principality of Balster. The endless battles among the powerful nobles dragged the entire principality into the quagmire of war.

Because of this, refugees from Balster often entered Casey City, which led to the rampant slave trade in Llanor.

The two brats faced each other smilingly, drinking black tea and eating refreshments, but Pei Sen couldn't help but keep looking at them when they said something.

Nobility...?

To be honest, Pei Sen didn't have a very good idea of ​​the so-called nobles, even though he had stayed in the noble manor for so long.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the nobles in this place have military capabilities...

"It's too early to talk about it now. Let's build Casey City first. Autumn is coming." Iger put down the snow-white bone china teacup and said casually.

Pei Sen thought of those civilians in Casey City who were still living outside the city for the time being, "Master, you can let those civilians join in the construction, and if there are refugees who come to Casey City from time to time, you can take them in and join in the construction of the city."

"Yeah." Igor nodded in agreement.

Ai Jin couldn't help but glanced at Pei Sen. He had always been a little curious about Pei Sen. Now it seemed that a bad-tempered guy like Iger was very kind to this personal butler.

"By the way, about the flattening of Alzie..." Pei Sen hesitated for a moment, thinking that if Alzie was bulldozed, it would probably be too late to build it before winter.

Igor sneered, "In the beginning, there were only a few hundred people in Alzie Town who were actually born and raised in that town. Look at it now, it is full of adventurers and caravans. Those earliest villagers are probably already full of money." , don’t worry about them, they will never freeze to death. As for those caravans and adventurers, they are not my subjects.”

He has no affection for these people.

Pei Sen thought that even if there were a few homeless civilians, Casey City, which would at least have houses to live in, should be able to accommodate them, so naturally he stopped talking.

Early the next morning, Aijin took two guards to Casey City. Looking at the city that had been completely bulldozed before, Aijin couldn't help feeling impressed by Eagle's mobility.

Even if ordinary nobles want to build cities, they can't do this.Any city under the rule of aristocrats is bound to have some intertwined relationships, as well as the inevitable dark side in the city.Even if you don't care about these, bulldozing a city and making those civilians homeless will cause a lot of trouble.

No matter how prestige the city lord has, he will not make such troubles for himself.

But Igor just did it, even Wallis, the city lord, was killed, and the Kui Lang gang who lived in the dark either escaped or died, and those Biks moved quickly, no one would give them face Before the civilians in Casey City could react, the whole city was already in ruins.

The civilians of this era are still very tenacious in survival and have a high ability to accept. They dare not really resist the nobles. After their homes were destroyed, they found that the lords began to rebuild the city again, and their mentality quickly adjusted.

"Forget it, the city lord probably offended the lord before, so there is no way."

"Yeah, at least our belongings are still there. I heard that there are often whole villages or cities in Ballster that are burned to the ground."

"We're okay, it's just that the house is gone."

"If the house is gone, it can be rebuilt, but the lord's request seems a bit high..."

Because of the contact with many displaced Balsters, the civilians in Casey City accepted the status quo that the houses were gone more calmly than expected. When the Bix tribe helped rebuild the city, they spontaneously went to rebuild their homes for themselves.

When Aikin went to see it, he was surprised to see that the unpopular Bicks had already established a good cooperative relationship with those commoners. Bring food and water.

That's right, back then the players flattened the entire city, and all civilian households were registered with Kemis on a household basis and received a simple number plate. In the district, all the houses themselves have numbers.

For these civilians, many of the houses that the Bix people are building now are their own houses, which are bigger and more spacious than the places they used to live in, and they are more comfortable and tidy houses!

Almost all of the wealthy households in the city had left Casey City when their houses were bulldozed, and their wealth was sufficient to ensure that they could maintain a good life in other cities, and most of these wealthy households were related to those traffickers, otherwise they would How can there be so much money in this barren border city?

So the ones left behind are actually relatively clean civilians, who are also relatively poor, unable to leave their hometowns, and unable to survive in other places.

Even if they were hostile to the Bix family before, and now they have changed to a better house, most of them immediately became milder.

Of course, it is not completely free of gossip and complaints. For example, some families whose conditions are not bad, the houses allocated to them are not much different from those who were too poor to afford food. They feel that they should get better houses, but all The houses were all built exactly the same, and the numbers they received couldn't be changed. Those knight masters didn't give them face, so they could only accept this reality.

Even so, these remaining civilians can't fill the city at all, and probably more than half of the newly built Casey City will be idle.

Aikin looked at the whole vibrant New Casey City and the barren Duchy of Balster from a distance, with a smile on his lips.

After all, he used to be an aristocrat with real power and ruled a large territory.Even though he was called a playboy, he was different from Igor, who was confined in the manor and couldn't leave, while Aijin really needed to manage the territory by himself.

"This city is interestingly built. I heard that Igor's personal butler drew the blueprints himself."

His housekeeper Vido nodded, "That Mr. Pei Sen is talented in this area."

"Planning such a large city, with drawings detailed to that extent, all the designs are feasible, which cannot be summed up by talent." Aijin laughed, "These Bicks are actually quite interesting, take a look The speed at which they built the city has almost reached an unbelievable level."

It is impossible for normal people to process a tree trunk into a pile of usable wood in a few seconds, nor can they use the simplest materials to make a pile of usable cement in a few seconds, and it is impossible for everyone to be as skilled A blacksmith can hammer a block of iron into a pile of spikes.

It's so completely against the norm that it's almost hard to understand how on earth they did it.

Players can't explain the existence of "life skills" to NPCs. They don't need to know these skills in reality, they only need to have materials, and then learn certain life skills. All kinds of work, even all the materials are processed to exactly the same standard - no matter how fine a ruler is used to measure, there will be no slight error.

Aijin stayed in Casey City for a long time. He just watched these Bicks from a distance with his magic eyes. He didn't really get close, but the more he looked, the more shocked he was.

There are some things that even the best craftsmen in the world can't do to this level.

These Bicks have surpassed the level of craftsmen. They have both speed and efficiency, as well as shocking fineness and perfection!

"It's really amazing, where did Eagle find such a group of guys..."

Compared with the fear that the players brought to these aborigines at the beginning, it brought another kind of surprise at this moment.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to achieve standardized production with the productivity level of the Ari Continent. Although there is magic in this world, there are some mages who can do things that ordinary people cannot do, but these master mages will not do it The work of craftsmen, the urban construction of this world, basically depends on commoners and craftsmen, it is impossible for mages to do such inferior work.

Not to mention the standardization of materials, which can only be achieved in a modern society with machines. Even with magic, standardization of production cannot be achieved in Alexa.

However, players rely on life skills to achieve "standardized production" in an alternative way. They can produce various building materials at an extremely fast speed, and all the materials produced by everyone are exactly the same, which can be used in all buildings. among.

Without this premise, Pei Sen's drawings could not be realized at all, because the material is a big problem.

In Ai Jin's view, this might not be a surprising ability in other respects, but when used in urban construction, it has an astonishing effect.

"Other people call the Bewkes lunatics. In my opinion, they are born builders."

It's a pity that not all the Bicks are building here. I heard that there are still many Bicks on the Xingzhui Plain.

Aikin said regretfully, "They should make more use of this talent instead of wasting time on fighting."

Wei Duo nodded, "But I heard that this is a group of weird people. They don't ask for much compensation, but even if you increase the compensation, they will not change what they want to do."

In the faction's main task, the rewards for construction have been increased by 20.00%, but players who love to fight still won't leave Stardrop Plain for this 20.00%.

They will only die in the Stardrop Plain and can't afford to repair equipment, so they will honestly come to move bricks for a few days to earn some experience and money.

In essence, players don't really care about the so-called rewards. They come to play the game, not to be played by the game.

However, the temptation of experience and rewards can’t be said to be useless. In the first test and the second test, there are still many players who honestly built the city. After all, this is still the early stage of the game. Many players think that early accumulation is more important. Fighting monsters ?It's not too late to fight again.

Taking advantage of rewards to do tasks is the mainstream thinking among gamers.

Of course, there are also players who build cities with great enthusiasm.

"Lilith, you haven't done the dungeon yet, have you?"

"Yes."

"Don't try it?"

"No, I want to build a city for my little earl and handsome butler!"

"..."

Under this kind of enthusiasm, the construction speed of Casey City is very fast. Ai Jin went to look at it every day and found that the city was being built at a speed visible to the naked eye. With the cooperation of the common people, the construction almost changed every day.

"At this rate, it should be barely finished before winter." Aijin came back and said to Eagle.

Pei Sen smiled, "That can definitely be done."

Because tomorrow is the date for the third test of Bix Rubik's Cube.

After two months of fermentation, Bix Cube has become widely known. Everyone knows that this is the first and only holographic game in the world. Not only that, but its authenticity has reached an incredible level. It is theoretically impossible to achieve it under the current level of technology.

This means that it not only attracts the attention of players from all over the world, but also attracts the attention of many technical parties.

There are still not many people rushing to enter the game during the second test like the designers, but there are many more people who enter the game during the third test.

Now Bix Rubik's Cube has not announced when the large-scale public beta will start. Pei Sen knows that the public beta will start in three months, but ordinary people don't know. If the public beta is far away, these three tests will be the last to enter the game first. Here's the chance.

It is very normal for a general game to wait a year or so before the public beta after the internal beta, and some games will even take longer.

Because of this sense of urgency, there are 1 places in the third test, but the accounts that are drawn can be sold at a higher price than the second test.

This is also because more people know about it, and there are more people who need Bix Rubik's Cube account.

Pei Sen looked at the chaos on the forum. No matter what posts there were many on the forum before, they were all gone now. All the posts that swiped the screen were posts about buying accounts, mixed with a few posts complaining that the forum was flooded by posts asking for accounts. Anyway, the forum for the past two days was very quiet for Pei Sen, because he couldn't see other content at all.

"After the third-test players enter the game tomorrow, the forum will definitely be full of game screenshots and small videos of various game scenes for a few days, and it will be quiet for a few more days."

Ever since the 360-degree recording of the process of him and the young master coming back that day was uploaded to the forum, he has to be careful every time he browses the forum.

But he can't blame those players who "think too much". In their senses, this is just a game. Whether it is him or the young master, they are just "NPCs", just virtual characters, just a piece of data, no matter what they made up on the forum Pei Sen can understand how many plots there are.

The characters in the game are not real people, so what is the big deal?

"However, the appearance of more players will bring a greater impact to the world."

In fact, the internal beta is not bad. Pei Sen vaguely remembers the news that he saw before time travel. On the day of the public beta of Bix Cube, the number of players who entered the game at the same time reached several million. One month after the open beta, this number reached several Ten million, and it is rising rapidly, breaking through [-] million in a short time.

This is because the price of the game cabin of Bix Rubik's Cube is not cheap, and there is a certain threshold for entering the game.

Pei Sen was not the first batch of players at that time, and he didn't know how much impact the influx of so many players would have on the world at once, but just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle.

"Casey City definitely can't accommodate so many players, and neither can Lano Ling." Pei Sen knew that there were no multiple servers in Bix Rubik's Cube. Scattered in multiple cities, right?"

Even though it is far away from the king's capital, the entire Esmia Kingdom has a population of less than [-] million. If the Beks are overwhelmed, half of the Esmia Kingdom may be full of players.

In addition, the Principality of Balster, which is only half a day away from Casey City, will definitely not escape.

"The Principality of Balster has been in war all year round. Players who like PK will probably like it more. And the Kingdom of Esmia has been peaceful for many years. Even if Leatherer's accident happened recently, it is no longer very peaceful, but compared to Balster, it is still It's a fairly safe environment." Thinking about it, Pei Sen felt that Bix Cube's choice of Casey City as the player's birth point might not have been chosen randomly.

This is really an environment that is very suitable for the further development of the "game". One side is war-torn and the other side is peaceful. The war-torn side has enough battles and even wars for players to participate in. The peaceful side is not absolutely peaceful. Spawn many tasks.

...Although, according to Pei Sen's understanding, at least on the timeline before he traveled, the player's exploration of the Kingdom of Esmia was very shallow, and they didn't even get online with the nobles.

As players who grew up in modern society, they may not be able to understand the nobles on the Alex continent, and they also have no way to bow their heads to truly serve those arrogant nobles, which makes the tasks they can obtain very limited.

The nobles do not trust these alien races, and it is difficult for players to get in touch with real nobles.

This is not the fault of Bix Rubik's Cube, it is indeed that even if the player has this ability, he will always be a little uncomfortable when he first enters the game.

However, in this timeline, Iger has Pei Sen on his side, and with Pei Sen's guidance, not only Iger's side is profiting, but the players are also benefiting a lot.

Their levels and task progress were a few steps faster than before, basically because Pei Sen forcibly pulled the progress bar forward.

Pei Sen himself feels that the Bix Cube system seems to be more lenient to him recently. Some tasks are triggered as soon as he wants to, and he creates them when he applies for self-created life skills...

"This game really hopes that players can participate more deeply in the world of Alexa, but before I was reborn and traveled over, the players on that timeline actually couldn't do it."

This time, it's different.

The third test is started, and the players of the third test are allowed to enter the game on time at [-]:[-] am.

The brand-new Kaixi City has been built for a while, the sun is just right, the sky is blue, and the autumn wind is blowing the leaves. It has completely entered autumn.

With 1 people pouring in, it is the first time to stand in such a trance-like real world, and you will always be stunned for a while.

It's like knowing it's real, but not knowing it's so real.

"Only when I saw it did I realize that it is completely different from what I saw in the video and screenshots..."

Pei Sen was happily thinking about how the urban construction speed of Casey City would increase after the players entered Casey City, but Atwell brought an amazing piece of news to Eagle.

"Master, Your Excellency Keso is missing."

Pei Sen: "???"

Keso is missing?No wonder... I never came to ask him for a magic book.

Then—is it possible not to return the magic book?
