Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 264 The Current Situation of Zhuxin Island

Firm player base.

The storyteller quickly shared his important discovery in the group.

Storytellers often invite new members to join the group, so the current player group can basically maintain active players most of the time.

After seeing the storyteller's discovery, other players also expressed their opinions.

Scheming Frog: "Yo, the missing people have returned."

Time to eat mushrooms: "Ah? It's all the same time? I really didn't notice... This is interesting. Lingzhu officials should be laying the groundwork again."

I did push-ups with Niu Niu: "Oh, be more confident, remove the word should. The words that the female NPC asked Xiao Ming to lead almost clearly indicated it, okay? (Picking nose)"

Niu Niu remembers clearly what Sekasi said, "The time to rekindle will come." Other players may not have paid attention to this, but Niu Niu can perceive it keenly.

The storyteller stroked his chin and asked in the group: "Did anyone in the group go to the dungeon at that time?"

Niu Niu and Mushroom immediately spread their hands, indicating that they did not enter the dungeon at that time.

However, Brother Aotian spoke at this time.

I suppress all enemies: "Although I entered the dungeon, I did not find anything unusual. The unknown changes must have been frightened by my pressure. (Cool)"

I did push-ups with the bull: "That's right. Now if I don't see Aotian's little flirty words for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over."

It's time to eat mushrooms: "6."

The storyteller couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw this. Brother Aotian played in a very abstract way, and he added a lot of fun to everyone after he joined the group.

Storyteller: "In that case, the dynamic plot should not have entered the most critical moment yet. The 'will' in 'will come' should just be used to remind us."

Storyteller: "Brothers, if you find anything, please inform me as soon as possible. Thank you! (Bow)"

After saying this, the storyteller left the group chat and started to deal with other things.

It's time to eat mushrooms: "By the way, Niuzi, I'm developing a new routine recently and I'm going to test the waters. Come and help me when the time comes @I'll do push-ups with Niuzi."

I did push-ups with the bull: "What are you talking about? I've seen your monkey tricks before. You can make your pants go bankrupt after one set. What's the new trick? It's more like a bankruptcy trick. (rolling eyes)"

Niu Niu is good at skipping classes, and Mushroom is good at monkey tricks.

As an old pair of partners, they have done a lot of tricks and have naturally seen many of Mushroom's monkey tricks.

But in the eyes of Niu Niu, who likes to get something for nothing, Mushroom's things are flashy and impractical. Sometimes, in order to kill a boss, the investment is more than the output. Isn't this a huge loss?

What, I need props and drugs to kill the boss?

I'm already pretty good at not having the boss pay for the wear and tear on my weapons!
After seeing Niu Niu’s reply, Mushroom was speechless.

But some of what Niu Niu said is indeed correct.

Although playing Lingzhu does not require money and the cost of obtaining items is not high, for most players, it is painful to use items that are not sustainable.

Therefore, mushrooms also target the "cost" point.

Time to eat mushrooms: "This time I'm not taking drugs, and I don't need too much wax oil. I spent a long time researching to make this, and it will definitely be useful to many new players."

It seems like this kid is serious this time?
Niu Niu thought of this and touched his chin, but he was a little suspicious: "Then why did you have to call me? Can't someone else do it?"

It’s time to eat mushrooms: “Don’t worry about that, just tell me whether you’re coming or not.”

Still mysterious...

It seems that this kid Mushroom should have gained something in the player market.

Seeing this, Niu Niu could only shrug helplessly and agree to his request.

"……Fine."

……

"call……"

"Finally, I'm done."

After Rogge let out a long sigh, he released the connection with the spirit candle.

After he transformed Zhuxin Island and updated it to a new version, he further relaxed the quota restrictions for players, allowing more people to enter Zhuxin Island.

But when there are more people, there will be a lot of information prompts and texts that need to be supplemented.

For example, some small events that players have never encountered before.

The bigger the plate, the more things there are to do, and Rogge doesn't plan to make up for it temporarily when something goes wrong like he did before. There will be more and more things to do in the future. Although the power of the spirit candle allows him to do many things at the same time, doing so is undoubtedly a huge test of his spirit.

Only by doing the work well in advance can subsequent development be smooth enough.

So he hasn't opened up new maps for players in the past few days.

First, it was to give myself enough time to replenish and fill in the gaps, second, it was to give the players some time to relax, and third, it was because of the Zero Island incident...

But now, several days have passed since the events on Zero Island were concluded, and players no longer encounter any problems when entering the dungeon.

Then he began to sort out all the changes that had occurred during this period.

First, let’s talk about the basic situation of Lingzhu.

【Spiritual Candle】

[Rank: Firefly (Upgrade requirements: 2 million wax oil, Broken Core x )]

[Remaining wax oil: 7248477]

[Spirit Candle Buildings: Spirit Fire Port (Level 3), Sin Furnace (Level 3), Demon Hut (Level 2), Candle Spirit Tree (Intermediate)]

[Anchored islands: Zhuxin Island, Exile Island, Jinghai Islands, Coastal Town, Ruins of the Battlefield between the Two Clans, Casa City-State...]

[Candle Spirits Summoned: 24970]

There is no need to say much about the quality of the spirit candle. The required amount of wax oil has long been overflowed. What restricts the further improvement of the quality of the spirit candle is the broken core.

This is normal.

After all, in Rogge's opinion, the so-called "grade" of the spirit candle cannot be lumped together with the grade of ordinary fire life. They are two completely different power systems.

It is not difficult to understand why a strange object like the Broken Core is needed.

As for the amount of wax oil... Roger just wants to thank the players for their gifts.

Ah…thank you to the game fans! Thank you to the hard-working players! Thank you to the krypton gold players! Thank you to the achievement players! Thank you to the hamster players! Thank you to the speedrunners!
Special thanks to Master Burton’s students!

If they hadn't worked hard to kill monsters and collect wax oil, there would be no Rogue who could squander wax oil today.

It's so touching.

The wax oil tax rate must be raised further to give back to the enthusiasm of the players!
...Of course, this is a joke.

Nowadays, the amount of wax oil added every day is enough for Rogge to meet the expenses of operating all the candle spirit bodies, the construction of spirit candle buildings, and some power reserves.

This is inseparable from the hard work of the players.

These game fans are really willing to work hard to play Lingzhu well!
Some players would squat in the snake den in the Gales Depression for a whole day. They were more familiar with the environment of the temple than the lion snakes, and their hands were stained with snake blood. The snake group's arch-enemy, the eagle lizard, would probably have to admit defeat. If the lion snakes knew about this, they would be so angry that they would die.

Damn, you can kill so many people, are you a snake meat wholesaler?
...This may also have something to do with the fact that Lingzhu has no recharge channel... a little bit.

Rogge also took the time to give some players a title - Snake Removal Expert (Bronze).

This makes some players more excited to throw themselves into the great cause of killing snakes. Of course, in addition to this type of title, other behaviors also have titles, which increase with the difficulty of the behavior. Although they are useless, players can choose to show them to other players, which is very showy.

Although they would kill even without the title, it still boosted their enthusiasm.

All in all, Rogge is still grateful to the players.

Where in the world can you find such a useful tool?

On the premise of ensuring that he has sufficient wax, he has secretly improved the success rate of wax, equipment drops, and weapons and equipment.

After all, the stronger the player, the stronger his exploration power will be, and the interests and goals of the two are closely linked.

In the early days, it was necessary to accumulate wax oil and open up new land to exploit the players. Now that we are rich, even if there is more wax oil, the power of the spirit candle will not increase much.

Instead of saving it and letting it gather dust, it is better to take it out and pass it on to the players so that they can develop better.

of course.

These hidden improvements are difficult for players to discover, and they are still sweet-mouthed all day long, greeting the entire Lingzhu official...

The second is the Lingzhu architecture.

There is not much to say about this part. The current grade of the Lingzhu building has not been upgraded for the time being, and what Rogge has done recently is to spread it to most of the anchoring areas as much as possible.

The reason for paving it is naturally because of a very simple problem... there are too many people.

After the version update, the number of players has expanded rapidly, and has now reached more than 20,000, and is still growing.

This not only brought about an explosive growth in wax oil, but also brought more problems.

After all, Rogge is in a real world, and all players are in the same space when they are not in the copy.

This means that a Sin Furnace that strengthens equipment requires hundreds or even thousands of players to use it together.

Even if the usage time is short and the players' schedules are staggered, they still need to queue.

Apart from setting up more touch fires for spirit candle buildings, Rogge is unable to completely solve this problem for the time being.

The only thing we can do is to lay spirit candle buildings on a large scale to alleviate the problem. Anyway, there is plenty of wax oil now, so we are not afraid of this consumption.

A lot of them have been laid out so far, enough to meet the daily needs of most players.

But this is still a problem that needs to be solved.

Rogge actually asked Lingzhu this question, and the feedback he got made him feel relieved.

If Lingzhu can be further upgraded, the abilities gained will easily solve this problem.

As for what specific abilities they have, it is not very clear.

The relationship between Rogge and Lingzhu is sometimes a bit like that between the brain and the body.

He could get vague feedback from the spirit candle, but it was not completely clear.

It is worth mentioning that as the grade of the Spirit Candle increases, the relationship between Rogge and the Spirit Candle also deepens.

How could Roger know this from Lingzhu at the beginning? Getting new abilities is like opening a blind box...

Therefore, there must be no problem with Lingzhu's feedback, so Rogge is not worried about it for the time being.

Finally, it’s the players’ problem.

The Wage Taker...has become more honest after the last war, but not completely honest.

They still carry out small-scale harassment on players from time to time, trying to snatch the body of the Candle Spirit.

Some players are happy to see this happen. After all, they have experience in fighting against enemies and fighting against Wage Takers. Basically, there is no failure. After killing them, they will get war contribution, which is very nice.

But some new players will still fall into the trap.

After all, the attributes of the Firewood Stealer itself are not bad, and it is much stronger than assembly line products like the Candle Spirit's Body.

Therefore, some unlucky new players were forced to experience the small black room after failure, and a small number of players directly quit the game due to low level.

However, Rogge didn't care about these. The overall trend of players was increasing. His attitude towards players could no longer be the same as before, coaxing them everywhere for fear that they would run away.

Although he will not oppress the players, he still needs some "jail players" who can truly endure suffering and torture and are unyielding.

By the way, it was purified...

By the way, speaking of which, this “Wage Taker” gives Rogge the feeling that… it seems to be a product of an assembly line?

In the previous battle with the Wage Takers, Rogge collected and burned many of their corpses and found that the bodies of these Wage Takers were highly similar in structure, as if they were carved from the same mold.

This is not something that can be achieved through uniform dress and behavior within an organization.

And in comparison.

The Fallen Fire Knight seemed to be the elite among them, and clearly had his own thoughts...

Thinking of this, Rogge was thoughtful, and then recorded the information into the spirit candle so that he could mobilize and announce it to the players later.

After sorting out the situation.

Roger began to focus on the things that needed to be dealt with at hand.

The first thing is naturally to open up new maps and new copies.

Due to the previous "high-intensity updates", Lingzhu's players have become accustomed to the rhythm of Lingzhu's version changes and the speed at which copies appear.

But this time there have been no new maps for a long time, which made players a little uncomfortable.

Some players even started to suspect that Lingzhu was going to run away, and they cried and begged on the Lingzhu forum, and even launched a crowdfunding campaign to help Lingzhu officials...

This made Rogge feel a little ashamed.

Look, they are willing to work and do it voluntarily. This is even better than a nuclear-powered donkey that has to take out a loan to raise a child!

It’s okay, I’ll satisfy you right away!
But before that, Rogge needs to anchor some special areas.

The most important thing is the [Quiet Platform].

Roger still remembered the information revealed by the wood spirit merchant Rutan - firewood collectors often appeared near the Quiet Platform.

Some players did encounter this problem while conquering the Serene Plateau.

So this time, Rogge wants to anchor the Quiet Platform, and then use it as a basis to pull the area to see if he can get any important results.

Roger acted quickly.

The cost of anchoring on the island was negligible to him.

The candle wick pierced into the ground, and the blue spread throughout the quiet platform area.

Soon, the Quiet Platform was anchored by the spiritual candle.

【Anchoring the island successfully! 】

[Anchored Island: Tranquil Terrace (Medium-sized Area)]

【…】

Roger naturally didn't look at the other information, he just glanced at the harvest column.

He thought there would be no gain this time, but after checking the gains, Rogge was a little surprised.
