Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 158 Reaction Speed
At this moment, in addition to the busiest Penguin Company, Xiao Nuo, who is the core of the game, is also the busiest one.

Wang Yue, who was fighting on the front line, had to return to Freedom Town and discuss with Xiao Nuo how to solve the problem in her own hotel room.

"Oh no, there are too many players logged in this time, and the map alone can't accommodate so many people."

"Recommended solution: use parallel maps."

"I also thought of this idea, dividing the level 1-5 area near the Woodland Church into a parallel space, and let the players log in to the game first."

The so-called parallel map refers to a copy of an identical map. Players in different spaces cannot see each other and can only meet up by leaving for the next map.

In order to be able to put down all the players in the queue at the same time, and at the same time ensure that the monster-killing efficiency of more players is not affected by the number of people, System Xiao Nuo immediately began to copy.

The players saw that the number of other players around them was rapidly decreasing, with only a thousand people left in each parallel map, which was a sharp drop compared to the previous ten thousand people.

“Take out the plan we made earlier and enable multi-target sharing. Non-team players can also complete mission objectives by assisting in combat, but the loot only belongs to the first player who causes damage.”

"clear."

Even if there are a thousand people, if the players are unable to create a gap at the beginning, they will still be in a crowded state when doing tasks.

Sharing mission objectives will make it easier for players to complete the task of killing targets. Individual small bosses that require waiting for 5 minutes to refresh are no longer a problem. As long as the player causes damage, it will be considered a kill.

"Also remember to turn off PK and change the unlocking condition to level 15. Those studios messed up the internal test before, and we can't let them do whatever they want in this public test."

"PK level has been raised."

"By the way, keep an eye on these players, the high-level ones who are still staying in the low-level areas. I'm worried that someone will maliciously kill low-level monsters and prevent low-level players from upgrading."

"Filtering has been added. Do you want to select the corresponding strategy?"

Wang Yue pondered for a while. He couldn’t think of a good solution for the time being.

If the system forces someone to kick out, it is not in line with the game world, and the other party's behavior is also one of his own pleasures. It is too low for the system to intervene.

"We should let the NPC stop it. No, I have a feeling someone will cause trouble during the public beta. I have to go to the novice map and take a look myself."

"Hint: The next non-parallel map is in the woodland town, and the level range is 5-10."

"Okay, you continue to monitor players with suspicious behavior."

Wang Yue jumped up from the bed, rushed out of the room and saw Fen Ke who was also going out.

At this time, Finke had just woken up. She changed her clothes and was about to eat something.

"You're just in time. Help me get a horse."

Wang Yue was now in a hurry to get to the woodland town. He grabbed Finke's wrist directly, and the two rushed out of the inn and headed straight for the horse farm in the north of Free Town.

"As a human, I'm not very familiar with the horse dealers over there. It would be a waste if I get slaughtered. You have to help me negotiate a good price."

"Um"

Even though Wang Yue grabbed his wrist, Fen Ke did not struggle to break free. Instead, he followed slowly with a red face.

"If you have time, follow me to the woodland map in the south. In return, I will help you complete the promotion mission to the silver-level team after I finish the work."

"Um"

Only then did Wang Yue realize that she was holding someone else's wrist. As soon as she let go, Fen Ke grabbed her arm instead.

In terms of speed, the Necromancer was definitely not as agile as the Werewolf Assassin. Wang Yue couldn't find a chance to get rid of Finko, so she could only accommodate her and arrive at the horse farm in the north.

After some bargaining, relying on the friendly reputation with Freetown and the intervention of Finko, an orc, Wang Yue bought the mount for 12 silver coins, which originally cost 20 silver coins.

Finko rode his horse southwards, while Wang Yue, who was sitting behind him, did not forget to make props and equipment on the road. These things would be used as mission rewards, in preparation for him to issue missions to attract players.

Because of the use of the parallel map function, players in the queue found themselves suddenly entering the game, which immediately reduced a lot of public pressure on Penguin Company.

Players who have just started out find that there are 90% fewer people around them, the pressure of killing monsters has decreased, and the efficiency of upgrading has increased. If the game has a happiness index, most players would now give it a passing score.

Xin Bo has now cancelled the function of blocking players, and she is also observing the movements of other players.

"There are fewer troubles, and the annoying passers-by who get in the way and try to flirt with me are gone, which is really good."

Xin Bo has completed a series of tasks and reached level 3. Thanks to her quick action, she started snatching monsters and leveling up while other players were still adapting.

Along the way, there were many passers-by who harassed female players when they saw them. Although the game can block them and ban players' comments if obscene words are detected, Xin Bo feels that the subsequent remedies are not enough.

"Humph, Brother Long also told me that I could start PK. I searched for a long time but couldn't find where to start PK mode. Otherwise, I would definitely kill these gangsters with my own hands."

She was completely accustomed to the wizard's fighting style, which was just a modified version of close combat.

When launching the long-range skill [Shadow Bullet], Xinbo will chase the dark ball to the enemy, and the dagger and magic will hit the monster at the same time.

With her extraordinary reaction time, she can deal with the same monster in half the time of ordinary players.

"The next task is to collect corn. A collecting task? Just pick up things."

When Xinbo arrived at the cornfield, there were already hundreds of people there, with dozens of players guarding the same corn refresh point. It looked like they were holding some kind of ceremony.

Although monsters can be killed without distinction, there is only one copy of the item. Once collected, you can only wait for the next copy to refresh.

So most players are stuck here. They all stare at the [Woodland Corn], waiting to pick it up the moment it refreshes.

"Are you guys competing to see who has the faster hands? This is an interesting task."

Xin Bo found the refresh point with the most people. The players who saw her joining frowned, and many of them advised her to go to a place with fewer people.

"I just like challenges. If I'm not convinced, I'll compete to see who can react faster."

The woman took her position. As the only female player at this refresh point, Xin Bo wanted to show this group of people her terrifying reaction speed.

[Forest Corn] began to refresh. Xin Bo and other players bent over to prepare, with their fingers slightly bent, and the seedlings had already broken through the soil.

The seedlings are growing rapidly. Don't act rashly before they are about to grow into mature corn, otherwise you will miss the opportunity.

The game system will also give you a prompt. Once the word "Mature" appears after the "Woodland Corn" in front of you, it is time to pick it.

"It's now!"

The moment the word "mature" popped up, Xin Bo was the first to stretch out his hands.

She became the first player to trigger the [Gathering] action, and even when she started the gathering action, there were still players who did not see the maturity indicator on the corn.

Once may be a coincidence, but three times in a row is definitely a sign of strength.

With her amazing reaction speed, Xin Bo convinced other players. No one was so nervous about competing for the first place and they could only wait until this lady finished before competing.

"I remember who she is. She seems to be a former professional CS player, Xin Bo, the sniper king of North China."

"Not bad, not bad. You are quite knowledgeable."

Xinbo has collected 8 portions of [Woodland Corn], and behind her are all [Cornworms] that she killed alone.

"See you next time. Men, remember to be gentlemen and give way to women."

After completing the task, Xin Bo blew kisses to everyone and left gracefully.
