Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 553 is now open for registration!
"Holy crap! Why are the game designers being so generous lately!?"

In the most lively "Ten Continents Chronicles" game enthusiast group 2, everyone is enthusiastically discussing the newly released limited-time event.

"This is indeed the first time. In the past, there were at most two phases of event tasks plus infrastructure-related events. There has never been a situation where three limited-time event tasks were released at the same time!"

"I heard they're gradually increasing the registration quota, so there won't be a lottery anymore, but only 50,000 accounts will be available for registration each day..."

"Only 50,000? That's hardly an open quota!"

"It seems like the server can't handle the load?"

"Thinking about it, that makes sense. The game environment is really too overpowered. Those guys on the forum who challenged finding duplicate mods still haven't found conclusive evidence, right? With this level of skill, I can't even imagine how outrageous the equipment would be to handle it!"

Aside from the shock at the new event and the unusual generosity of the game's developers in offering so many slots, some people also began to question the game as usual: "Actually, I still think it's outrageous, because with our current level of technology, we can't achieve such exaggerated computing power. Something feels off..."

The person who raised the question was an industry leader named Feng Yu, who works in the field of software development, so he was more interested in the entire operation of the game "Ten Continents Chronicle".

Of course, Feng Yu was too unlucky and failed to get an activation code despite several attempts to get a spot, so he was always an "unregistered" user. He was only added to the group by his friends and family because he was interested in the game.

There are quite a few netizens like Feng Yu, especially in the first three groups, half of whom are like this. They are often brought together by friends and relatives, which is why the total number of accounts in the game "Ten Continents Chronicles" is not large, but there are more than twenty official third-party communication groups!
Moreover, there are countless users on forums and major live streaming platforms who often jokingly refer to themselves as "cloud gamers" because they can only watch others play games without an account, which is quite pathetic.

Feng Yu joined the group early—he himself is very passionate about games, so he paid attention when "Ten Continents Chronicles" first released its quota. Later, when Wang Ergou used his influence as a streamer to create a group, he joined early on, which is why most people in the group recognized him.

No sooner had he sent the message than a friend in the group chat, who was on good terms with him, teased him: "Come on, Brother Feng, I know you're a big shot in the institute, but this is their industry secret. If you could know it, how would they make money? Look, our country doesn't restrict it! It's definitely no problem!"

Feng Yu tried to explain: "No, you don't understand. What I mean is, even if they had the technology, they would need to publish at least several papers, but with this technology, I haven't seen a single one with a high enough impact factor. It's just too bizarre..."

Others chimed in, "Stop worrying about this, Feng! Just grab a spot and register when registration opens! We're all already playing, and you're still agonizing over this nonsense! Just go explore the game and see for yourself!"

"He just went crazy from being a giant Palu in the lab!"

"I'm so excited! Registration opens in about ten minutes! I've already switched to the fastest 8G network! Even the King of Heaven himself can't stop me from registering an account! I said it!"

"Fongparu, don't forget to register together! You've been trying to get a number for so long, you should just rely on your skills to grab one!"

"Exactly! It's delicious!"

After complaining about Feng Yu for a while, everyone started discussing the new limited-time event.

The reason this has caused such a big reaction is that "Ten Continents Chronicles" has never released three limited-time events at the same time.

Besides the limited-time event on the Taiyi Qiankun Sect's second phase of battlefield cleanup and post-disaster relief, there's also a recently launched limited-time event that allows players to earn points to exchange for [Blue Star Housing Lottery Tickets]. And then there's the newly launched [Conquer Penglai Island] limited-time event.

The limited-time event "Conquer Penglai Island" is not the limited-time battlefield mission that players are most familiar with. Instead, it adopts a highly free mode where any means are acceptable.

Whether it's acquiring land for infrastructure or suppressing the stubborn resistance groups of Penglai Sect disciples, it all counts as a task.

Because there are no purely mortal villages on Penglai Island, Fang Xianyu chose a more radical approach when issuing missions, such as not refusing to allow players to slaughter the red-named natives.

In Fang Xianyu's plan, Penglai Island was intended to be a territory that players could freely tinker with, with natives prohibited from entering or leaving—even the NPCs who were arranged to go there in advance were people in charge of the project team.

In this way, the spawn point of newly registered players can be set on Penglai Island. No matter what they do, fight each other, or do things that are enough to get their accounts banned, the damage will only be contained within Penglai Island, and the group that suffers the damage will only be the players or NPCs dressed up as members of the project team.

Once they reach a certain level or cultivation level, these players born on Penglai Island can unlock the world map and leave the island. By then, they will have undergone various warnings and taming from the game's official channels. At least players who committed murder, theft, robbery, and fraud have had their accounts banned, preventing the harm they inflict on the natives from spiraling out of control.

In the group chat, everyone was still having a great time chatting.

"So, which event is Dog Bro planning to participate in? I feel like he's practically made of liver; he's everywhere!"

"Hasn't Brother Dog been working with Boss Tong on that limited-time event mission for the Qiankun Sect lately?"

"Goodness, the event is almost over, isn't it?"

"Looks like it's still early. I heard that in the plot, the villainous BOSS escaped, so they have to be completely killed before it's over, right?"

"We can't calculate it like that. Maybe we can save it for the next limited-time event mission and use it again, which will save us from remodeling. We might even be able to expand the storyline, like the return of Daoist Gu Gu or a night raid on the Taiyin Sect..."

"Hey, come to think of it, we haven't really fought a defensive battle before, have we? The Swordsman 13 next door has dual battlefields for both offense and defense, so you can attack and defend at the same time. This Ten Continents Chronicle is designed so illogically, there isn't even a defensive battle, and the map can't be divided into different areas. Last time I participated in the limited-time battlefield, I saw that it was full of people and I couldn't even squeeze in, so I gave up!"

Before long, it was time to open registration at 8 p.m.

The game announcement detailed that 50,000 slots were released in one round, and if the registration was full, people would have to wait until tomorrow, because the server had limited capacity.

Actually... there's no such thing as a server!

It was simply because Fang Xianyu wanted to control the number of people to prevent too many registrations from draining her system's energy points!

As registration opened, players continued to register accounts, and some entered the game without even creating a character's appearance. Fang Xianyu felt a pang of heartache as he watched his system energy points visibly decrease.

If it weren't for the investment aimed at a greater return, why would she be willing to release so many spots!
