Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

The moment the announcement was announced, on the other side of the continent of Eshilia...

Chen Xu was sitting idly on the head of a tall iron golem, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

A struggling zombie was tied to the end of the pole. Chen Xu pointed in that direction, and the iron golem chased after it, determined to hit the zombie.

Suddenly, a mission notification icon started flashing in the upper right corner of his field of vision.

"Ok?"

Chen Xu paused for a moment, then casually opened the module store interface.

Sure enough, among the dazzling array of mods, a brand new mod with a steam locomotive icon quietly appeared at the top.

[Railway Transportation Module]

Price: 50 Gold Coins

"Wow, they've even built a railway?"

Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"I could accept that the Divine Judgment Robe costs 50 gold, at least it's a combat and survival-related module. But now, to build a railway, you have to spend 50 gold to buy a card first? This business strategy..."

Despite his complaints, he still carefully read through the module's detailed instructions.

"Hmm... There's no railway in sight right now, so we won't need it for the time being. But judging from how Tianxia does things, this thing will definitely be a necessity in the future, so we'll have to buy it sooner or later. Let's wait and see."

Just as he was about to close the interface and continue messing with that unfortunate zombie, a golden, server-wide mission announcement suddenly popped up.

"A total prize pool of one thousand gold coins?"

"Since I have nothing else to do, I'll go take a look."

Without the slightest hesitation, he yanked the fishing rod in his hand, flinging the zombie far away, and at the same time slapped the head of the iron golem beneath him.

"Let's go back to the base and repair the railway."

He shouted into the voice channel, and the channel immediately erupted in excitement.

Not only did the player community respond positively, but the NPCs within the base also received clear quest instructions simultaneously.

Clara demonstrated outstanding organizational skills, quickly assembling a basic material collection team of over two hundred people.

Chapter 98 Want to Fight Star Wars

The villagers, armed with picks and axes, began their enthusiastic harvesting work.

Xu Tian nodded in satisfaction as he watched the mission being quickly accepted and the forces from all sides being mobilized in an orderly manner.

He casually opened his personal assets panel, which showed a gold coin balance of 7043.

During this period, as new players entered the game in batches, they purchased all the basic function modules that were initially available in the store in order to catch up with the old players as soon as possible.

This brought Xu Tian a continuous and stable income of gold coins, temporarily achieving a healthy dynamic balance between consumption and accumulation.

"system".

Xu Tian asked himself silently.

What is the current exchange rate for exchanging player slots?

[Current exchange rate: 100 gold coins = 1 player slot]

"Row".

Xu Tian pondered for a moment.

With railway construction about to begin, the education sector also needs to plan ahead, as the demand for various professional talents is imminent.

It's time to further expand the player base.

"Give me 70 new player slots."

[Deducted 7000 gold coins]

[Current remaining gold coins: 43]

[Current server maximum capacity: 130 players]

Looking at the 70 newly acquired spots that had shrunk in an instant, Xu Tian fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

"Railway construction is the top priority at present. We must give priority to ensuring that people with relevant professional backgrounds join the project to guide its progress and avoid detours."

"On the other hand, the education system cannot be crippled. While 'lucky koi' and 'good fortune' can perfectly handle basic literacy and literacy work, more advanced subjects such as mathematics, basic physics, and natural sciences must be taught by more specialized teachers. We need to find suitable candidates in advance."

With that in mind, he reopened the communication interface, found the name "Koi," and sent a message.

[The One and Only: Koi Fish, still busy teaching?]

The message received a reply quickly.

[Koi: The basic demonstration is finished. Now they're trying to do it themselves in groups. I'm giving them some guidance. Tian-ge, is there anything I can help you with?]

[The Only One Under Heaven: I've just acquired a new batch of player slots. Considering your teaching progress, the basic reading and writing part shouldn't take long to complete.]

I'm planning to recruit some teachers who can teach other subjects in advance. Do you have any suitable candidates who are also interested in games? Could you recommend someone?

[Koi: No problem, Brother Tian, ​​I'll ask a few of my colleagues at school later. They play games sometimes, so they should be interested. I'll screen them and recommend them to you.]

[The Only One in the World: Okay, please.]

After ending his conversation with the lucky koi, Xu Tian pondered for a moment, then swiped his finger and opened the increasingly active core player chat group.

The group chat was buzzing with messages. Some were sharing newly discovered mineral spots, others were discussing the best combinations for equipment enchantments, and still others were showing off their newly crafted, dyed cloaks. It had clearly become a small, vibrant community.

Xu Tian typed a line of text and tagged all members.

[The Only One in the World: @All Members, a new batch of player slots has been filled. Now all members in the group are eligible to officially enter the game.]

In addition, I have several dozen positions remaining, which I plan to recruit through a targeted recruitment drive, focusing on talent in railway construction and related fields. If you know any qualified and trustworthy friends, please recommend them. Once approved, you will receive a position.

The message immediately caused an uproar in the already lively group chat.

[Peak: Holy crap, Brother Tian is so generous, finally everyone got promoted!]

[Niu Niu: Railway major? Is our game's art style really this hardcore now? Are we really going to go all the way from the era of cold weapons to the Industrial Revolution?]

[Life is like the first time we met: It feels like the boundaries of this game are expanding every day. Should they recruit aerospace engineers next?]

[Little Blackie: I want to fight in Star Wars]

[Snowstorm: +1]

Seeing the exclamations and jokes that instantly flooded the group chat, Xu Tian smiled and didn't offer any further explanation.

He left the group chat, picked up his phone which was lying to the side, and directly opened the Douyin account called "The Only One Under Heaven".

This account was created by him earlier to expand the game's influence and attract potential players, mainly to post videos of combat techniques.

After a period of dedicated operation, the account has accumulated more than 50,000 loyal fans.

Aside from a few hardcore players who truly delve into the game mechanics, the vast majority of followers are primarily waiting for the extremely limited opportunity to obtain a game slot, which may be released at any time.

"Now that the core pool is saturated, it's time to cast a wide net into a broader external pool."

Xu Tian made up his mind.

He skillfully turned on the screen recording function on his phone, adjusted the angle to ensure that his virtual avatar appeared in the center of the screen, with the iconic, bustling base of Eshilia in the background.

"Hello everyone who is following Conquer Online, this is Tianxia."

Xu Tian made his voice sound steady.

"Thank you all very much for your long-term attention and support for this game."

"Currently, the pioneers in the game are advancing an unprecedented strategic project: building a railway network connecting all the strategic locations in Eshiria."

"To ensure the professionalism, safety and efficiency of this project, we urgently need a group of talents with backgrounds in railway, civil engineering, transportation planning and other related fields to join our team."

"Currently, I have a certain number of game testing slots available. If you meet the above professional requirements, whether you are a college student majoring in a related field or a professional with work experience, and have a strong interest in the game Conquer Online."

"Feel free to contact me via private message. Please be sure to include valid materials that can prove your professional background in your message."

"After all information has been verified and confirmed to be true and valid, I will provide you with a dedicated gaming helmet and corresponding game account qualifications free of charge. I look forward to your joining us and let us work together to pave the way to the future in Asheria."

After recording, Xu Tian quickly reviewed the recording to confirm that the information was clear and correct, and then clicked "Publish".

The video was uploaded to the Douyin platform, and almost instantly after it passed the review, the number of views began to soar at an astonishing rate.

The comment section was like it had been detonated, with new messages refreshing every second.

[Finally, the recruitment for positions has begun!]

[Railway major? This game is seriously making me cry! You guys are for real! (Attached is a photo of my student ID from the Railway Engineering College)]

[I have already sent a private message. I am an employee of the Engineering Section of XX Railway Bureau with five years of work experience. I am looking for a position! (Attached are my work ID and a photo of me in work uniform)]

Chapter 99 Professional

[I cried. Don't finance students deserve to be mentioned?]

[I feel like this game is a long game; I'll keep an eye on it and wait for an architecture/planning major to be recruited.]

Xu Tian ignored the rapidly scrolling comments section and directly opened the private message interface in the background.

Sure enough, within minutes my inbox was flooded with unread messages.

He took a deep breath and began to carefully review each item.

[Hello host, I am a recent graduate of XX University majoring in Railway Engineering. This is a screenshot of my academic record from the China Higher Education Student Information System (CHESICC) and my offer letter. If you need, we can verify this via video call right now.]

Xu Tian opened the picture sent by the other party and zoomed in to examine it carefully.

The student ID photo is clear and the stamp is intact.

The information in the screenshot from the China Higher Education Student Information System (CHESICC) matches the certificate.

Although some information in the offer letter was redacted, the format and seal looked legitimate.

He used the system's auxiliary verification function, and the feedback results were all reliable.

"That's fine."

Xu Tian nodded slightly and replied quickly.
