Building a sect from scratch.

By the time the Jade Emperor hurriedly arrived at the conference room, almost everyone who was supposed to be there had already arrived.

Aunt Wang explained the situation in a few words and looked at Wang Ergou and the others with extremely encouraging eyes—the second group was the first to enter the game and the group that had the most freedom to develop in the game. In addition, all the members of the group were players specially recruited by the China Nationalities Construction Project Team, so they were bound to provide some opinions and ideas from the perspective of players first.

"Uh, I haven't paid much attention to this area, I only know that there are 'rocket launchers' and 'Gatling guns'."

Wang Ergou scratched his head and said awkwardly.

The Jade Emperor and Han Yi were both utterly bewildered—aside from the previous battlefield missions, neither of them had considered the matter of firearms! It wasn't until the topic was brought up at this meeting that the Jade Emperor exclaimed in surprise, "Oh right! Why didn't the limited-time battlefield in Liuzhou provide 'Gatling guns' this time!?"

"puff……"

In the conference room, someone couldn't hold back their laughter, but fortunately there were too many people, so it wasn't exposed.

Seeing that his teammates were becoming more and more unreliable, Jie Ran hurriedly tried to salvage his group's image, saying, "After all, there is spiritual energy in the Guixu Realm. We can show it from a more... metaphysical perspective. For example, defensive measures are also a kind of display of force. I remember that the Type 15 Mountain Protection Array had new results before, right? We can also invite the other side to conduct an attack test? Of course, this is just my own immature idea."

When it was Zhao Qing's turn to speak, she hesitated for a moment and suggested, "If it's for the visual effect, or to pursue an overall imposing presence, having a large enough number of people should achieve a certain effect, right? For example, players could also do 'military training'?"

These words made everyone seem thoughtful.

One netizen immediately raised a question: "But aren't the players still a bit too unpredictable?"

Aunt Wang countered, "It's not entirely out of control. Apart from our project team, most players are between 16 and 50 years old. Everyone has gone through the complete compulsory education in China, so the memory of military training is ingrained in their bones... Xiao Zhao, your idea is indeed a good one!"

Fang Xianyu also said, "If necessary, I can control everyone."

Seeing that Fang Xianyu seemed to support her idea, Zhao Qing, who was usually relatively introverted in real life, became even more enthusiastic. She continued excitedly, "In that case, why not design a celebration event for the open beta, with the theme of 'military exercises'? Reward participants with a certain amount of Guixu Realm currency, or some kind of virtual token. Or we could just have the operations team upload the new special effects and appearances in advance as rewards for participating in the event. Then we could issue a notice, such as that those who engage in behavior that causes negative impacts will be disqualified from receiving rewards. That way, everyone will definitely be in control!"

"What's that saying again? A new brain works better!"

Wang Qiqing, who was just there to make a casual appearance at the meeting, couldn't help but utter a witty remark, which prompted his friend next to him to tug hard at his sleeve with a dark expression, his face clearly saying, "You better control yourself."

Even the top leader smiled and praised, "A good suggestion."

The deputy military leader, a round-faced man, seeing that no one else seemed to have any objections, added, "It doesn't need to be too complicated. A few formations will suffice. We can have a half-hour rehearsal before the official start, and it should be watchable—at least compared to a civilization like the Guixu Realm, which has a relatively backward level of technology, it's quite formidable!"

Wang Ergou suddenly realized, "Hey! I get it! It's about having the players act as the atmosphere team! I know this all too well!"

"In that case, the part concerning organizing players will be handled by Project Team Two. As for the specific weapons, such as rocket launchers, including the psionic aircraft that are still in the experimental stage, they will be handled by [I Love Farming]. Senior leaders, the General Staff Secretary, military leaders... do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

As one of the main leaders of the entire project team, and the only director in charge of coordinating the relationships between the various project groups, Aunt Wang has the absolute authority to make specific arrangements in this regard. However, since both sides attach great importance to this meeting, Aunt Wang still consulted everyone's opinions.

The senior leader nodded and said, "You have experience in this area, so we can proceed with your arrangements. As for the specific planning, we'll need the military leadership and the General Staff Secretary to oversee it. Given the current status of the Taiyin Sect in the Guixu Realm and the situation it faces, this is indeed a very important opportunity that we must seize." "Understood!"

……

The meeting went on for a long time, causing many people in the game to feel a sudden and inexplicable chill. Weiwo Wushi, who was having fried chicken and strolling around with Yinglongwang and Pingjun, originally wanted to privately consult with Zhao Qing or Wang Ergou to see if they had any inside information about the Dragon Clan—the fact that Chang'an Sheyi had been incorporated into the game was already an open secret among the players! But to his surprise, not only were Zhao Qing and Wang Ergou offline, but many top players who were usually online for a considerable amount of time were also offline!

This is really strange!

Her keen intuition told her that something seemed to be about to happen!
So, Weiwo50 promptly sent a message in the large player chat group: "Hey, why aren't Dog Bro and the others online? Does anyone know? What happened?!"

Surprisingly, there really was a traitor who betrayed his teammates: "It seems they said they went to a meeting!"

The news immediately caused a stir, with messages flooding the group chat.

"A meeting!? What kind of meeting!?"

"Is Chang'an really that outrageous? Holding internal meetings?!"

"Really? I see Cai Cai is still online! Zhen Junzi is here too! I just saw him walking around with three of his apprentices!"

"Good heavens!? Three apprentices!? Didn't he only have one NPC apprentice? Where did these three come from!?"

"His nominal apprentice? You forgot? He opened some kind of 'Gentleman's Immortal Cultivation Research Institute,' exploiting the labor of those little monsters, and even tricking pandas and rabbits into becoming his nominal apprentices. Even capitalists with low wages would cry if they saw this!"

"Good heavens! I'm exclaiming, 'Good heavens!' Why does he get a panda?! When will China send me a panda?!"

……

Seeing the conversation veer further and further off course, Wang Ergou, who had secretly glanced at his phone while the bigwigs were discussing the details, finally breathed a sigh of relief. But after a moment's hesitation, he still chose to self-destruct the truck—

"Ahem, well, I'm going to surprise you all with something big!"

Wang Ergou is the group admin, so everyone noticed him as soon as he appeared, and his words made the group even more excited.

"Holy crap, Dog Bro!"

"Brother Dog, confess now! Has Daddy kidnapped you?!"

Wang Ergou didn't give a direct answer, but immediately followed up with another message: "Everyone get ready, there's a new event, and there's a high chance of getting free outfits! It's an event to celebrate the open beta, and it seems like it's tomorrow. You can inform each other, don't miss out on getting all the freebies from 'Ten Continents Chronicle'!" (End of Chapter)
