Xu Tian looked at the questions in the live chat and explained with a smile.
"Of course not. How could we players drive trains every day? There are NPCs who can do these basic jobs."
"Once these railway-specialized players have laid the tracks, our teacher players will open train driving training classes in schools to teach the NPCs how to operate trains. In the future, all these transportation hubs will be operated and managed by the NPCs."
"We players are usually responsible for fighting, exploring, and expanding our territory on the front lines. These logistical positions are reserved for NPCs. They can also earn gold coins by working for us, thereby improving their own lives. It's a perfect economic loop."
Upon hearing Xu Tian's explanation, the viewers gave him a thumbs up.
[That's amazing! Even capitalists would cry. NPCs in games would have to work for you!]
[Making the most of everything, this game's economic system is well-designed.]
Following Xu Tian's perspective, the group continued their journey through the tunnel.
Before long, a blinding light finally appeared ahead.
Amidst the noise and hammering, Xu Tian finally emerged from the underground tunnel and arrived at the end point of this railway construction project.
It was the same pig-headed tribe that they had wiped out.
"Alright, everyone, the railway tunnel has now been completely opened. From our central base to here, we can now provide support anytime and anywhere by train."
Xu Tian stepped out from underground and onto the surface, switching his perspective to wide-angle mode.
"Everyone can look ahead. This is the Southern Front Base, built on the ruins of the Pig-Headed Man tribe, based on the deployment map of our chief designer, Sister Hei."
Following Xu Tian's gaze, the viewers in the live stream were immediately stunned by the scene before them.
What was once a scene of utter devastation has now been transformed.
Countless players and NPCs are frantically piling up various building materials, just like industrious worker ants.
The towering slate walls were already taking shape, with a firing tower built at intervals along the walls.
The barracks, warehouses, and furnace area inside were planned in an orderly manner.
With the efficient mining by players using enchanted tools and the tireless carrying by NPCs, a sturdy city fortress is rising from the ground at a visible speed.
Looking at the bustling construction scene, Xu Tian spoke with a hint of pride.
"Yes, the progress is very good. Once these four frontline bases in the east, west, south, and north are all completed and form a protective ring, we will transform the central teleportation point of Eshilia into a truly magnificent city."
"At that time, we will need professionals who truly understand urban planning and architectural design. Fellow netizens, if you are urban planning majors, you will be given priority when the quota is allocated."
Upon hearing this, the live chat went wild again.
【Wow, are you serious?】
Is it too late for me to drop out of school immediately and retake urban planning?
[Hey host, wait a minute, I'm going to take the registered urban planner exam right now.]
Xu Tian smiled, stopped making empty promises, and stepped into the southern base castle that was still under construction.
Upon arriving at the spacious hall on the first floor of the castle, we found it had been transformed into a temporary, giant dining hall.
The long wooden table was covered with steaming hot food.
"It's lunchtime in the game now, everyone should be eating."
Xu Tian zoomed in with the camera and saw more than a hundred NPCs who had just finished work sitting around a table, holding bowls and chopsticks, happily enjoying their meal.
The food on the table was incredibly lavish.
There was glistening braised pork, sizzling steak that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, golden and crispy fried chicken, and large bowls of fragrant hot noodle soup.
Even some enchanted special foods can be seen occasionally.
Holy crap, the food in this game is amazing! This isn't just for NPCs, it's better than what I ate during Chinese New Year!
[My appetite's gone; the takeout I was eating suddenly doesn't taste good anymore.]
Watching this late at night has made me hungry. What kind of amazing game is this? They even make the steam rising from the food and the juices look so realistic!
Seeing the barrage of hungry cries on the screen, Xu Tian was in a good mood and was about to make a joke.
"Whoosh!"
suddenly!
A whooshing sound came from the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a dark figure plummeted like a meteor from the unsealed gap in the castle roof.
"Splash".
Just as it was about to hit the ground, the dark figure expertly poured a bucket of water onto the ground beneath its feet.
Amidst the splashing water, he precisely stepped onto the water, completing a textbook-perfect water landing, and landed unharmed in the center of the cafeteria.
The NPCs who were eating were startled by this sudden turn of events.
Xu Tian looked closely and realized that the person who came was none other than Liu Shenwu, who was responsible for patrolling the perimeter.
"Sixth brother?"
Xu Tian stepped forward and asked in confusion.
"How did you fall from the sky? What happened?"
Completely bewildered, he suddenly raised his head, his usually jovial face now filled with an unprecedented solemnity.
Before he could even catch his breath, he roared.
"The world is in trouble, something terrible has happened."
"Pig-headed men, pig-headed men are coming, pig-headed men are everywhere."
Old Liu swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.
"It's that guy, that BOSS named Zhu Shitian is back, he's brought back a large army."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tian's smile instantly froze.
Has Zhu Shitian returned?
The leader they let go, who triggered the sudden revenge incident?
Chapter 109 NPCs Go First
After a brief moment of surprise, Xu Tian's brain instantly started working at high speed.
If a player dies, they simply lose some experience and equipment; they can just run back to the respawn point.
But these NPCs can't die.
This was a workforce he had painstakingly gathered, and it was the cornerstone of his future NPC economic system and automation construction.
If the pig-headed man wipes them all out, then all his previous plans will have been for nothing.
"We can't let the NPCs stay here."
Xu Tian made a decisive move, immediately turned around and rushed to the NPCs who were still in a daze, and shouted loudly.
"Wait, everyone stop eating! All NPCs, put down your food immediately!"
He pointed to the steam train parked in the direction of the tunnel.
"Get on that train immediately, evacuate at full speed, and retreat back to the central base, quick!"
Hearing Xu Tian's anxious tone, the old village chief Jesse also realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Listen to the adults, everyone, come with me now."
Ignoring his crutches, Jesse immediately began shouting and directing over a hundred NPCs to drop their bowls and chopsticks and run towards the train in the tunnel in an orderly fashion.
Xu Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the NPCs begin to leave.
He immediately opened the all-player group chat, his fingers flying across the virtual keyboard, and directly used the highest-level server-wide notification.
[Unique in the World: @Everyone! Urgent Military Situation!]
[The only one in the world: The "Pig Slayer's Revenge" incident has officially broken out. A large number of pig-headed enemy troops are approaching the Southern Base. All online players, immediately put down your work, take your best equipment, and rush to the Southern Base to provide support.]
After sending the message, Xu Tian looked towards the direction of the forest where the faint vibrations were coming from, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Since you dare to come back to die, then don't even think about running away this time."
Just then, he suddenly remembered the revenge mission that the system had issued earlier.
"Wait, system."
Xu Tian communicated quickly in his mind.
"This revenge quest for Pig Slayer only has a base reward of 1000 gold coins. We currently have 230 players on the entire server. If we're going to fight to the death for just 1000 gold coins..."
The system was silent for two seconds.
It appears to be performing some extremely complex data calculation.
Then, that cold, mechanical voice rang in Xu Tian's mind.
[Enemy Pig Slayer Legion's current overall strength rating detected: Dangerous]
[Based on the analysis that the host's request is reasonable, and to ensure the effectiveness of the campaign incentives, the system will automatically add 9000 gold coins to the overall mission reward pool.]
"pretty".
Xu Tian couldn't help but give the system a thumbs up in his mind.
"As expected of you, you know how to adapt in critical moments."
"System, immediately start a server-wide scrolling announcement. It's time to get these players excited and completely eliminate this Pig Slayer."
The next second, a scarlet announcement with an extremely strong visual impact flashed like a banner in the very center of the retinas of all 230 players on the server.
[Urgent Announcement to All Servers!]
[Breaking News: Pig Slayer's Revenge]
[Battle Location: Southern Front Base of Eshilia]
[The enemy is in extreme danger. All players are requested to immediately go to their aid and defend our homeland.]
