Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 214 Lightweight Psionic Continuous Multi-Shot Thunder Rifle
They really did get a lot of flak.

Within minutes of the announcement, players had already taken screenshots and uploaded them to the forum. Now, the developers of "Ten Continents Chronicles" are being subjected to a barrage of insults from netizens, but they have no choice but to accept the reality.

What else can we do? Otherwise, we shouldn't play! But so many people are clamoring to quit, cursing that even dogs wouldn't play, how many of them are really not going to play? Even setting aside the fact that it's the only game on the entire network with such advanced technology, even from an economic perspective, we can't bear to give it up!
Putting everything else aside, you can easily make a fortune by simply working in the game and then selling in-game currency and items with real money. If you have some special skills or interesting ideas, it's even easier; you can earn more by starting a live stream than any other game streamer!
Therefore, no matter how outrageous the announcements from the official "Ten Continents Chronicles" game are, as long as they are not matters of principle, netizens can only accept them with a heavy heart.

Of course, this "application system" has also been praised by some players.

"I'm a renowned civil engineering graduate from a top-tier university! Shouldn't they select me to contribute to the construction of the Taiyin Sect?"

"I'm a graduate of a prestigious 985 university majoring in water supply and drainage! Choosing me is more reliable!"

"I think we can't just look at these things; the development of spiritual civilization is also very important! Could any players give me some advice on whether it's possible to recreate an electric guitar in the game? I study pop music..."

"You can barely play a guitar, let alone an electric guitar. What, are you going to sing rock for NPCs? Go up to them and say, 'Fellow Daoist, please listen to my song,' and then sing 'I'll love you even if I die'?"

"Then you'd have to turn around and yell 'There's a pervert!'"

"Does that mean I have even less of a chance if I study piano...?"

"You guys are lucky! At least you can still sing! I'm the one who really has no chance! My major in college was digital media, which is completely useless!"

……

"Elder Lu! Elder Lu!"

As soon as Wang Ergou saw the announcement, he rushed to Elder Lu Ying to inquire about the details: "Why is there suddenly a war? What happened?"

Elder Lu Ying hadn't had time to inform Fang Xianyu beforehand, as he was on his way to find her. Seeing that Wang Ergou was also confused, he waved and said, "You've come at the right time. Come with me to see the sect leader and ask him!"

"Me? Me going to see the sect leader? Is that... is that appropriate?"

Wang Ergou suddenly had second thoughts. Although he was a star player, someone who had been recruited by the China project team, and had met Fang Xianyu a few times, he still knew that the Taiyin Sect Master was a true being from another world, and could be considered a "special life" that communicated with the Chinese nation. He was still a little intimidated.

"It's alright, it saves me the trouble of contacting you separately to inform you!"

Elder Lu Ying had been in contact with Fang Xianyu for a long time and knew a little about Fang Xianyu's personality. He waved his hand nonchalantly and took the lead, flying towards the sect leader's mark on the map.

"Well, that's fine..."

Before long, the two arrived outside the main hall of the Taiyin Palace. Since Fang Xianyu had made a rare appearance at the entrance of the hall, a number of players gradually gathered around. Although they dared not get too close to the sect leader's face to do anything, it was still easy to take a screenshot from a distance by adjusting the angle! Opportunities to take a photo with the sect leader like this were rare!
Upon seeing Elder Lu Ying and Wang Ergou, Fang Xianyu smiled slightly, nodded to the two, and said, "You've arrived. Please come with me into the hall."

Elder Lu Ying nodded in response, "Sect Master."

"Wow--"

The players all murmured envy and jealousy towards Wang Ergou. Traveling with Elder Lu Ying and even being invited into the sect leader's boudoir (just kidding)—what makes this kid so special?!
Feeling the piercing gazes of the surrounding players that seemed to want to slice him to pieces, Wang Ergou forced an awkward smile: "Hehehe, hello Sect Master..."

The three quickly disappeared from the main hall, and Wang Ergou's private chat kept buzzing—

"You little brat! What kind of damn luck is that!"

"Er Gou, Er Gou, this time it wasn't some hidden quest or prerequisite quest that you completed, was it?"

"Brother Dog! Start a live stream!"

However, Wang Ergou ignored them all, because Fang Xianyu was watching him with a smile, as if she knew everything about his little tricks.

He stole a glance at Elder Lu Ying, who wore a smile identical to Fang Xianyu's, swallowed hard, and mustered his courage to say, "Sect Master, Sect Master, please, please speak plainly..."

"Ergou, don't be so nervous," Fang Xianyu teased in a good mood. "I've seen all your contributions. Even if you're a traitor from the Chinese nation, it doesn't matter."

"What traitor! I don't know! That's not true! Sect Master, you, you, you, you have to believe my innocence!" Wang Ergou panicked and subconsciously protested, "My loyalty to the Taiyin Sect is as clear as heaven and earth, as clear as the sun and moon. My admiration for you is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks, I, I, I..."

Listening to Wang Ergou's incoherent ramblings, Fang Xianyu's eyes filled with a hint of nostalgia as she turned to Elder Lu Ying and said, "Hehehe, Northeasterners are indeed adorable..."

When Wang Ergou heard the word "Northeast", he was stunned for a moment. He first looked blankly at Fang Xianyu, then mechanically twisted his neck to look at Elder Lu Ying, who had a happy expression. Then, his brain's CPU worked at high speed before he couldn't help but pat his head.

They should have realized it sooner. They've already partnered with China, so how could they not be on the same side? They didn't know they'd been recruited.

In fact, Wang Ergou knew that the Taiyin Sect must have already thoroughly exposed every player's secrets, but firstly, they hadn't revealed it openly, and secondly, the situation was too urgent, so he didn't react in time.

Seeing their expressions, he realized he'd been tricked. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, feeling wronged, "People from Northeast China are people too! You can't just pinch them like that just for fun! We're not a squashable toy!"

Then, he asked curiously, "Sect Leader, you also know about the Northeast?"

Fang Xianyu smiled but did not answer.

"Ahem, alright, Sect Leader Fang was just joking,"

Seeing this, Elder Lu Ying coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Sect Master, I haven't yet asked what this announcement is all about? How are we required to cooperate?"

Fang Xianyu curled his lips: "I'm sure you insiders know that the psionic version of the MG-42 was successfully improved recently and named the 'Light Psionic Continuous Multi-Shot Grenade Rifle'. Its designation is Type 14, which is the 14th version of the design. More than 500 of them have already been produced in the first phase."

Wang Ergou was almost dumbfounded: "Wait a minute, Sect Master, MG-42, is it the MG-42 I know?"
