Of course, it wasn't just players queuing here; there were also several...
This can be considered a step towards integration among the people of the earth. After all, food is a valid passport for all humans.
While eating fried chicken that cost twenty gold coins a serving, Thousand Hands continued to wander around. Most Earthlings were still somewhat afraid of the players, but they could now walk normally on the streets. Many Earthlings were grateful for this new life. Thousand Hands also spotted Demiquas, who, who was originally manic, was now meek and submissive in the face of a female Earthling's lecture.
But Thousand Hands discovered that this wasn't out of fear of him, but rather because he was attracted to the woman opposite him. This manic player had actually fallen for Earthling? It was truly unbelievable, the reversal was too fast, or perhaps love doesn't follow reason?
With a sigh and a shake of his head, Thousand Hands left and went to the city wall to look at the silver light screen outside. In fact, although he said the city was sealed off, some players could still go out to hunt. After all, food requires raw materials, and all kinds of pigs, sheep, deer and other animals outside that come with their own vegetables are good ingredients.
Furthermore, some people have discovered that if you knock out a monster and then kill it normally, you can get all the meat. Although you won't lose any items or money that way, you'll get more by cooking it.
Chapter 1901 Leveling Up
With a light snap of his fingers, the massive silver light barrier outside the city dissipated. This was just a magic trick by Senju, but he lied to his subordinates, saying it was a world-class artifact called the Sky-Piercing Shield, which could permanently seal off an area, allowing only him to control entry and exit.
The crowd was initially afraid, but then they became very envious of the artifacts that Thousand Hands was holding. Thousand Hands then showed everyone his treasure vault (which was actually a copy of the treasure vault of the Great Tomb of Nazarick with some artifacts and items that Thousand Hands randomly added). Unfortunately, the highest level items on it were all limited to level 100 or higher, which left the crowd feeling quite helpless. Fortunately, there was also a large number of level 90 'low-level equipment' inside, and everyone immediately drooled. These items looked incredibly powerful, and if they worked hard, they might be able to obtain some.
After all, the vice president said that the guild's contribution points could be exchanged for items, and the vice president even exchanged a set of magical equipment on the spot. Although it felt a bit like a show, many people still believed it. Even some sour grapes couldn't help but drool over the equipment.
Of course, all of this happened a couple of days ago. After Thousand Hands lifted the city's restrictions, many players received the news and immediately went out of the city to kill monsters and level up. Among them, there were probably some who were planning to escape, but it didn't matter. Let them run away if they wanted; they didn't care anyway. Those who stayed here would have to follow the rules here, and not many people wanted to be outlaws.
Well, actually, those former guild leaders who became 'senators' were more worried about whether the players would run away. Seeing the ban lifted and a large number of players rushing out, they all looked worried and wanted Thousand Hands to re-ban this area, but they didn't dare to say it.
Senju, sensing their thoughts, was puzzled. What were they thinking? Human thought processes are truly astounding. Perhaps it was some kind of effect, but Senju couldn't figure it out.
Looking at the twenty high-ranking guild members gathered behind him, Thousand Hands waved his hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to fight a boss. You'd better get your levels to three digits!"
"Oh~" Everyone exclaimed. A super expert is helping them level up! Their target this time is the Great Snow Mountain Wilderness Labyrinth, Upepesank, where there are all kinds of high-level monsters. After forming a team, everyone prepared to set off. Originally, everyone was going to mount their mounts, but Thousand Hands took out a toy spaceship-like model, threw it to the side, and it immediately grew larger, turning into a spaceship more than 20 meters long.
"What is this?" Everyone stared in disbelief. Qian Shou raised his hand, and the hatch opened. "This is a small airship, just an ordinary aircraft. Everyone, get on, and we'll reach our destination soon."
"..." Everyone stared at the airship, speechless. "Why is your game so amazing?!" The head of the production department, a research fanatic, examined his surroundings. "President, you said this is a small one, but are there larger ones too?"
"Yeah, that's right. The large ones are several kilometers long, equipped with a large number of magic energy cannons, and can transport tens of thousands of people at a time," Thousand Hands casually chatted with him, and then gave everyone a tour of the airship's interior. The group was pounding their fists in frustration again, wondering why their game was so unreliable!
After flying for several tens of minutes, the group reached their destination, hovering above the blizzard-filled maze. Thousand Hands glanced at the other members beside him, "Unfortunately, directly bombarding with magic cannons won't yield much experience. We'll have to go down and fight. But before we begin, I'll give everyone some buffs: Scorching Heat, Specialized Ice Defense, Impeccable, Divine Power..."
To everyone's astonishment, Thousand Hands bestowed thirty buffs upon them. "Alright, that's about it. The buffs will last for three hours. Everyone, be careful, we need to recall the airships!"
"..." Seeing their health increased fivefold, their attack, defense, and agility increased tenfold, plus various powerful buffs, everyone fell into a deep silence. This was too much, too much! They wanted this kind of ability too! Thinking this, they all floated up, gaining the buff of flight.
When the airship disappeared, everyone felt a pang of panic. Although there were flying skills in the game, sorry, they were playing an online game, not a real one.
As they flew by, everyone was stunned to see the blizzard outside the protective shield.
"It seems the weather is bad. Well then, control the weather - Sunny Day!" With Senju's words, a wave of magical energy swept across, and the endless blizzard stopped. For the first time, the snowfield saw the sun.
Regardless of the players excitedly flying in the air, Thousand Hands went down to find monsters. Hmm, there's a Snow Woman here too. She seems to have a nice temperament and looks like a beautiful woman in a kimono.
"Hmm, not bad," Senju nodded and then launched a forced recruitment of monsters. One by one, the Yuki-onna were captured and imprisoned in the Shanhe Sheji Tu (a magical scroll depicting mountains and rivers). These might be useful in the future.
The players over there had flown around enough and started leveling up. However, this was their first time actually going out to level up and their first time truly facing monsters. They carefully gathered together, preparing to slowly fight the monsters that were surging towards them. However, when an 80-level player cleaved a 90-level monster in one strike, taking away a third of its health, everyone scattered. Damn, the buff was too strong. They felt like all their leveling up had been for nothing!
The group charged at the high-level monsters as if they were dealing with weaker monsters, and the result was still good. Soon, the dozens of monsters that surged up were wiped out. This made a player with superb command skills very disappointed, so he went to the side to fight a high-level monster alone.
The monsters here obviously couldn't withstand such torment. They originally wanted to explore the surrounding area to find more monsters, but Thousand Hands used his skill to attract all the monsters within a three-kilometer radius. It was a monster mountain and a monster sea! Tens of thousands of monsters surrounded the twenty players, and they were so frightened that they flew away.
However, some of the monsters that came this time could fly, and the air was also a battlefield. Thousand Hands cast 'Dragon God's Power' on them, and the monsters in the air were quickly wiped out. Then everyone went to deal with the monsters below, while Thousand Hands was in charge of healing. Well, his healing didn't attract any aggro.
This leveling session lasted for three hours, and most people gained four or five levels. Of course, those with higher levels leveled up more slowly. Only one player in the team reached level 93. Tsk, despite facing tens of thousands of monsters, the level increase was so small. What a waste of the hundredfold experience buff that Thousand Hands gave them. However, the drop rate of gold coins and items was quite high. Except for Thousand Hands, everyone felt very satisfied.
Chapter 1902 Uniting Hearts and Minds
"This is too slow," Thousand Hands sighed, looking at the excited crowd. Then he waved his hand, and an airship appeared. "Let's go to another area of monsters. Let me show you how to quickly harvest monsters."
"..." The players, holding various rare items, didn't know what to say. They just looked and watched. They also wanted to know just how much the level 1000 expert players cheated, such as changing positions and attracting monsters. Then they realized that it was called "bombarding the ground with artillery fire".
After watching the Thousand Hands unleash a meteor shower attack on tens of thousands of surging monsters, everyone understood how the Earth People felt. The way they looked at them must be the same way they looked at the Guild Master now, right? Overwhelmingly powerful.
Thousand Hands distributed the experience gained according to everyone's level. Soon, everyone reached level 94. After another Super Ground Spike, Thousand Hands told everyone to pick up items. Picking up items was tiring, and everyone groaned as they looked at the items scattered on the ground.
It took five minutes to kill the monster, but an hour to collect the items. Looking at the items that everyone handed in, Thousand Hands waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can keep these and play with them yourselves. We're going back."
"Oh," they should have been excited, but no one felt excited at all. They felt that their role was too small. However, after such a leveling up, no one thought about leaving the guild. The overwhelming power was terrifying and became domineering.
Back in Susukino, a group of players went to show off their experiences and loot, while Senju strolled around the streets. Then they saw the compensation being distributed, and the Earthlings, who had been secretly on guard, breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere in the city eased again.
As he was turning around, Rem suddenly appeared beside Senju, and then a document fell to the ground. "Master, Mr. Inolai (the mage who came to provide support this time) has provided a construction plan and requests your permission."
"A Spirit Vein Train?" Senju was slightly surprised when he looked at the contents of the document. This train did not need to be laid with tracks, but instead moved along the spiritual veins of the earth. However, such technology had existed in the Type-Moon world for decades, and it was still super advanced technology here. He just didn't know what improvements he had made. If he copied it exactly as it was, it would be a disgrace to the Creative Department. "We can proceed with the construction. Let him go and discuss it with the people in the Production Department."
Senju clicked on the document, and then Rem took it and teleported away. However, the plan stated that building the train would take a month; developing civilization really is a time-consuming task.
Another matter concerning magicians is the construction of a magic academy. The first batch of apprentices is expected to appear in five years. Of course, there are also many mages and sorcerers among the Earthlings, but the two are completely different. The apprentices from the magic academy are scholars and researchers in the field of magic, while those mages and sorcerers simply use the destructive power of magic.
However, it was a time-consuming task. After watching for a while, he noticed that the number of players had suddenly increased. Listening to the discussions, most of them were talking about how much they had gained that day and how they were going to have a good meal.
"Eating, drinking, and having fun!"
"Senju thought to himself, "Eating and drinking are things that the chefs can handle; as for entertainment, the realistic monster-fighting and leveling up is barely considered entertainment; but the entertainment industry here is lacking." Senju suddenly thought of a good idea.
Looking around, Thousand Hands chose the ruins of a partially collapsed modern supermarket, which was also available for purchase for 10,000 gold coins. After acquiring ownership, Thousand Hands snapped his fingers, and the supermarket ruins were quickly restored, though there were currently no goods inside.
Then, with a wave of his hand, rows of bookshelves appeared, filled with various comics and light novels. He then set the rules for the supermarket: one gold coin could be used to read for one hour, or to make purchases. Of course, browsing was free.
However, considering that this was a supermarket, Senju moved many other items and stuffed them onto the magic shelf, where people could buy them by inserting money. Senju also modified the Yuki-onna she had just captured and placed her here as a waitress. Well, although she didn't have to collect money, she looked quite pleasing to the eye, and it was also good for her to maintain the facilities.
Feeling that the goods were almost ready, and with hundreds of thousands of tons of goods in the replenishment warehouse, it should be enough, he went to open the door. However, when he opened the door, he saw many players outside looking at him in surprise. They were probably shocked by the lights and signs here.
With a wave of his hand, the supermarket sign changed, and the words on it became very straightforward: 'Comics and Supermarket'. Then he looked at the players around him and said, "The supermarket is open for business today. Members get a 10% discount. Everyone is welcome to come and shop."
"A supermarket? Guild leader, is this the supermarket where we can buy things?!" The players exclaimed excitedly. Thousand Hands shrugged. "That's right, the selection inside is amazing, they even have instant noodles!"
"Instant noodles..." Everyone was speechless for a moment, but they still went in to shop. Some extremely bored guys even bought a bunch of bottled water, which drew stares from those around them. They should at least buy a bottle of beer or juice!
However, this supermarket opening was the second big celebration for the players (the first being the restaurant opening). Seeing all the familiar products, everyone was moved to tears. Soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels—modern products were truly amazing. There were also various comics, and they discovered many comics they had never seen before. Many people stopped there to watch.
Then came the call for friends and family, and soon several thousand players rushed over, including dozens of daring Earthlings. Luckily, this place was an automated supermarket, otherwise just collecting money would have been a huge hassle.
However, seeing such a supermarket, the players' cohesion increased even further. Players who originally planned to sneak away stayed behind. It was true that this was the only supermarket in the entire world. Well, the prices were ridiculously high. A regular bar of soap cost ten gold coins, which was the price of defeating a goblin.
Even so, everyone is still buying up the goods. Upon hearing the news, the production manager asked Senju with concern, "President, at this rate of consumption, won't the goods be sold out soon?"
"Don't worry, this is a magical building; it can automatically replenish its supplies," Senju said casually. The club president next to him asked curiously, "Another amazing gadget! By the way, president, are there other types of magical buildings?"
"Hmm, quite a few: hospitals, hotels, playgrounds, hot springs, sunny beaches..." Senju said, thinking as she spoke. The minister next to her got excited, "You said there are hot springs? How big are they? Can we use them?!"
Chapter 1903 The Plan to Rebuild Earth
“Scale? A super-large bathhouse that can accommodate hundreds of people at a time,” Senju said, noticing the production manager next to him looking hesitant. Senju then casually pulled out a small model. “This is it. Find a place to put it.”
"Yes, guild master!" The production manager ran off excitedly with the hot spring model in hand, followed by a group of players who had been listening intently. Hot springs! They hadn't soaked in one since they arrived here. Of course, in their original world, soaking in a hot spring was a high-class experience.
Regardless of the excited players, Qian Shou left the supermarket with a bottle of drink. There are still many players flocking to the supermarket. It seems that everyone is really too bored. Now they finally have a proper way to relax instead of the previous looting and vandalism.
After wandering around for a while, Senju returned to the guild and saw Rem diligently looking at the documents. She was very conscientious. When she saw Senju come in, she looked up slightly and said, "Please wait a moment, Master. These will be taken care of soon."
“Rem, these things can actually be handled by others,” Senju shook his head helplessly. Rem smiled slightly, “It is a maid’s duty to handle chores for her master, and these are very simple.”
"Sigh," Senju sighed, and picked up the document to look at it. After a while, Rem reminded her, "Master, take a look at this document."
"Hmm?" He picked it up and looked at it. It was a document submitted by the Earthlings. They had sent someone to contact a nearby town, which reported that it had been under attack by monsters recently and hoped to get help. "I see. We can send someone to help. Tsk, I don't know if the players here are reliable."
"Yes, indeed. It's only been a few days; I wonder if those adventurers' attitudes have changed. Should I go?" Rem was also a little worried, but Senju patted the documents in her hand. "There have been quite a few attacks, and there must be even more unrecorded locations. One person isn't enough; we must..."
We need the players' help. Oh, and let's issue guild quests.
Although most of the original tasks were no longer valid, Qian Shou used administrator privileges to adjust the settings, and then a dialog box popped up in front of all members: "Chat channel open, guild task system open, guild task issued, town guard, location...rewards...".
Looking at the familiar chat box and the tasks below, everyone was shocked. Senju then spoke up, "Attention all Susukino members, I, the guild leader, have used the world-class item Five Elements Counteraction to open the guild chat channel, guild task hall, and other functions. Please check them."
"What? Guild chat channel? Is this going to be a raid?" someone shouted excitedly. Thousand Hands was speechless for a moment, then continued, "It's not a raid anymore. Everyone can set their own channels. By the way, those quests, everyone... damn, the roster is full! That was way too fast!"
As Qian Shou was speaking, the quests to guard the nineteen towns were all accepted. Each town had ten people, with a level limit of 60, and that's only 190 slots.
After a moment of astonishment, the players murmured among themselves, "Is this what the guild leader meant by the five elements' mutual restraint? It can even add plugins to the system, it's ridiculously powerful."
"Well, it's alright. By the way, guild members can spend a certain amount of money to post tasks. The logistics team can contact the Earthlings to collect their commissioned tasks and put them on the platform. As for the rest, everyone can explore on their own. I'm logging off now." Then, Thousand Hands granted others the permission to post tasks before continuing to edit documents. Anyway, at his speed, he could finish processing a document as tall as a person in half an hour.
"Alright, Rem, don't be too tired. Let's go for a walk," Senju said, pulling Rem out to play after having the documents moved away. As for the large stack of documents that had just been delivered, Senju rolled her eyes and told them to send them elsewhere for processing.
The two strolled through the streets, eating, but Senju noticed that Rem seemed preoccupied. "Rem, what are you thinking about?"
“Master,” Rem hesitated for a moment, then looked around at the people, “these players are from another world, right? Could you send them back?”
“Send them back?” Senju looked at the people around him. This was a difficult question to answer. He then shook his head. “They have nowhere to go back to. The Earth in their memories doesn’t exist. Even this world was just created.”
Seeing Rem's somewhat downcast expression, Senju patted her head. "Don't worry too much about it. However, we could set up a game called Earth."
"Is that so?" Rem was still a little troubled, and she ruffled Rem's hair helplessly. "Don't overthink it. Let's go to the hot springs later."
"Mmm," Rem replied softly, her face slightly flushed. The two continued to wander around, and as she looked at the peaceful scene around her, Rem gradually let go of her worries.
The next day, Senju reminded everyone in the channel, "Attention, everyone, I have a grand plan."
"President, what have you thought of this time?" the people below were thinking. In reality, most of them were silenced. Senju continued, "I plan to create an Earth."
"What?! Can that really be done?!" Several councilors and ministers who weren't silenced asked all at once. Thousand Hands pointed, and an image of a glowing orb appeared in front of everyone. "This is one of my world-class items, the 'World Seed.' Originally, in the game, it could create a world. Now, as long as we scan all the players' memories and infuse them in, we can build an image of Earth from their memories."
"..." Everyone was speechless with shock. Both the Earth Reconstruction Project and the World Seeds were beyond their imagination. However, they had an instinctive opposition to such a plan. It wasn't just a matter of privacy; they also didn't want to face a fake family.
"Let's discuss this. We'll vote in three days. If more than 60% agree, I'll start the plan. If not, the plan will be scrapped." Sensing the various emotions rising in the city, Senshou decided to give them some time to calm down.
He then lifted the chat ban, and the players immediately started arguing. However, Thousand Hands had already disabled the chat system, but even so, he couldn't have peace. Many players rushed over, and even the guards at the door couldn't help but come in. "Guild Master, is what you said true? Can it really create an Earth? But how is that possible? That's an entire Earth!"
"It's just Earth. In another game, I'm the Lord of the Galaxy, ruling over billions of stars," Thousand Hands said casually. The people around him were a bit of a headache. This game-brained guild leader was a bit difficult to communicate with!
Chapter 1904 Noise
“Guild Master, this isn’t a game. It’s impossible to set up so many things like in a game,” one player tried to persuade him. However, others remained silent. Looking at the diverse expressions on the faces of the crowd, Thousand Hands chuckled twice and then rolled his eyes. “This Guild Master isn’t confused. It’s just that some people haven’t come to terms with reality yet and are still thinking about Earth. But that’s only human nature. Humans are most attached to their homeland, so I’ll give you a homeland.”
"President, don't you miss your hometown?" someone couldn't help but ask. Senju shrugged and sighed softly. "Miss? Missing it won't get me back. Besides, I really like my current state. Pursuing the extraordinary is what humans do."
My dream is to return to Earth and become an ordinary person again, but I regretfully refuse.
"..." Everyone was speechless for a moment, their eyes revealing strange expressions. The guild leader really was a game addict. Was he really willing to abandon reality for the sake of the virtual world? But their mentality was not as strong as the guild leader's. Seeing everyone's expressions, Senju waved his hand, "Alright, don't think too much about it. You guys go and maintain order in the city. I won't let any troublemakers get away with it."
"Yes," everyone agreed and left, but one person remained—the player guarding the entrance. "Guild Leader, is there any chance we can return to the real Earth?"
“Yes,” Senju nodded, seeing his expectant look. The man immediately became excited. “What method?”
"As long as I become stronger, strong enough to travel between worlds and create worlds, wouldn't I have a chance to go back?"
"Is that so? To become stronger..." After hearing Senju's words, the guard fell silent. It sounded simple, but it was incredibly difficult to do. It felt like a pipe dream, but it did make a lot of sense. As long as you become stronger, you'll have a chance. If you reach the level of the guild leader, you can really do anything.
But the thought of guarding him filled her with despair. Level 1000! It seemed like an impossible level to reach. "Isn't there any other faster way?"
“Yes,” Thousand Hands said calmly, looking at the guards. “Just keep dying.”
