VCRMM: Chapter 216

Chapter 216

Xu Fengqing stood there blankly.

Beside him, the earth dragon had lost all its breath and collapsed to the ground.

He glanced at the system message reminder again. After staring at the ‘4 points of physical damage’ for a few seconds, he looked away toward the blond man who was slowly sheathing his sword in mid-air.

The man was dressed in his trademark military uniform with a cloak flying behind him. He was handsome and powerful. From the appearance point of view, there was nothing to fault.

He was very young. According to the setting, he was only 25 years old, but this power would always make people forget his age.

Did he just do it on purpose?

Xu Fengqing thought like this. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he happened to get the final blow? But in that case, leaving exactly 4 health points left…

Was it possible?

Even players who could see the boss’ health bar couldn’t control it so accurately, right?

At this time, Si Sheng looked at him and stared at him from afar in mid-air.

The players watching below couldn’t help holding their breath to concentrate.

The live broadcast’s barrages filled the screen.

[Does Si Sheng want to continue slaying dragons?]

[Hahaha, why not let His Majesty Snow explode this dragon again? This can stimulate blood activity and give us an improvement in attributes!]

[Yes yes, this majestic black dragon looks much more advanced than the ugly earth dragon. This blood must be more valuable!]

[Isn’t this giant dragon good? It helped us fight the earth dragon. I think Marshal Si Sheng might want to subdue it and make it a pet.]

[Wow! Dragon knight!]

The players watched eagerly, waiting for Si Sheng to continue showing off his power and subdue the black dragon.

In the end, they were disappointed.

The giant black dragon looked at Si Sheng for a moment. Then it silently turned around, jumped into the deep pit that the earth dragon had been blasted out of, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Si Sheng didn’t stop it.

He withdrew his gaze when the dragon disappeared and flew back to His Majesty Snow. The monarch and his minister stared at each other and smiled. This attracted the screams of many CP fans.

At this moment, both the game world and the live broadcast footage from players were filming the two of them.

Under the high-definition camera, even if they were suspended in mid-air, their movements could be seen clearly. Even their extremely subtle expressions were included.

Both of them had extremely outstanding appearances. Their beauty could withstand the close-up of the camera.

It could be said that today’s battle would definitely become another famous scene in Starry Sky Age. The key point was that the entire process was completely filmed.

A wave of beasts attacked the city and millions of players participated in the defense. Just when everyone thought they had won, several seven star bosses appeared.

At such a critical moment, the leader of the Roland camp made his appearance. This led to the marshal using thunderous means to kill all six seven star beasts in an instant!

Looking at the mountain-like dragon corpses in front of them and thinking of the battle scene just now. Even if they hadn’t experienced it personally in the game, they still felt excited!

The two NPCs lived up to their names and the players directly made them gods.

Xu Sili wasn’t in a hurry to leave.

He looked below. At his feet were the corpses of five earth dragons. Looking further ahead, he saw tens of thousands of interstellar beasts spanning the entire battlefield.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to describe the situation as filling the fields with corpses and rivers of blood.

The gratifying thing was that in every place his spiritual power passed through, he saw almost no dead humans. Of course, the players who died and stayed there to watch the fun weren’t counted.

“For more than a month, everyone has worked hard!”

Xu Sili finally spoke.

He didn’t know how many live cameras were facing him and he didn’t care. He controlled the sound elements and spread his voice far away, ensuring that people within a radius of tens of thousands of meters could hear it.

“Now I can officially announce that the beast wave has been completely defeated by us. No interstellar beast can threaten our home, let alone take our relatives and loved ones from us…”

“After four years, Roland has won this battle against the beast wave. The victory belongs to us!”

As his words fell, the entire nation of Roland cheered. This included the soldiers on site and the people watching the live broadcast.

They won!

They really beat the beast wave!

More than a month ago, when His Majesty announced that the beast wave was coming, no one thought that Roland would be able to successfully survive the crisis this time.

The beast wave was really terrifying!

Such overwhelming and unshakable power was still a nightmare for all survivors.

Even now, most people felt like they were still dreaming.

However, looking at the tall figure in the sky, seeing their great and wise monarch, listening to his voice announcing their victory, they knew clearly that Roland had really done it!

Not only did they survive, but they killed all the interstellar beasts. Even the powerful seven star beasts were nothing more than this in the hands of their patron saint!

“We did it. Wu wu, we survived!”

“Your Majesty, brilliant ruler!”

“Lord Marshal is the eternal patron saint!”

Xu Sili listened to the noise coming from the direction of Orchid Moon City and looked at the civilians and soldiers hugging each other and crying below, his mood couldn’t help being affected by them.

It was like the seeds he had worked so hard to sow in the land had finally started to sprout and grow.

The victory belonged to the players and everyone in Roland. This nation had suffered from devastation and had been weak for a long time. Finally, it gained new vitality.

Of course, there was still a long way to go before they became a powerful nation, but this nation had a promising future!

Relief and joy surged in his chest. He even felt that there was a piece of music at hand, waiting for him to compose it.

However, now wasn’t the time to do this.

Xu Sili gently raised his hand and made a downward gesture. The noise below quickly subsided.

It could be said that his public support rate had reached its peak at this moment. His prestige among the people had also been pushed to its peak.

Such a powerful field control ability and such a magnificent and shocking scene couldn’t help but excite the players who witnessed it. They also had a greater sense of identification with Roland in their hearts.

A rich emotional experience was one of the great pleasures of playing online games.

Not to mention—

Xu Sili continued, “Now isn’t the time to celebrate. Next, the commanders will be asked to arrange for soldiers to clean the battlefield and place the wounded.”

“Heroes deserve better treatment. The braves…”

“Thank you for all you have done for Roland!”

“Seven days later, Roland will hold a grand ceremony to celebrate this victory. At that time, this emperor will personally award medals to the braves who have made outstanding contributions in resisting the beast wave!”

“The construction of the monument will also start today.”

“All the people of the empire, please remember this moment forever. In addition, remember all the contributions made by the braves who came from another world and worked tirelessly for the hardships of Roland!”

The moment Xu Sili finished speaking, the millions of players present immediately cried out with excitement.

It was because they all received the system rewards!

According to their contribution ranking, everyone received corresponding rewards. Even the players with the lowest contribution received a five square meters piece of land!

It was real land!

Players who obtained a land certificate could mark the land use rights for the area specified in the certificate as their own land in any designated City of the Braves area.

They could do whatever they wanted with the land, including building, selling, etc… Of course, they needed to pay taxes in accordance with the law.

“Ahhh, I’m getting rich, rich! I have 50 square meters! I want to build a five-storey, no, ten-storey house!”

“I want to build a big villa! Is there anyone who wants to join their land together?”

“Hahahahaha, long love His Majesty Snow! Long live Roland!”

It could be said that at this moment, the hearts of the players had been completely captured by Roland. It wasn’t just the joy brought by victory, but also the real rewards!

The City of the Braves, a city that truly belonged to players!

The players who were involved were crazy with joy.

The fans watching the live broadcast were also crying. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the equipment and couldn’t book the machines in the experience store. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so miserable that they could only watch the live broadcast at this time.

Then it wasn’t only in the Starry Sky forum. The editors of major platforms came online. They used the image data of this war to edit various high-profile videos.

The participation of millions of players, the realism of holographic cameras, and the convenience of the forum brought the richness of materials of this war to a peak. It was unmatched by any game in the past.

There were some videos where the quality was even comparable to those of big-budget movies.

Not to mention, some short videos made by players appeared in the Starry Sky forum.

The quality of the script varied, but judging from the images, people who had never been exposed to Starry Sky Age would never think that this was shot in a game.

These short videos went viral and attracted many passersby for Starry Sky Age.

But then again, Starry Sky Age was no longer lacking in popularity. From the first closed beta to the present, in less than a year, it had captured the hearts of many players with its super high quality.

From the beginning, it needed to rely on feelings and the popularity of co-branded games. Now Starry Sky Age had completely proven its strength.

The Starry Sky Age experience store was full every day for a month. The game company also urgently added 10,000 game helmets.

Even so, there were still complaints every day that there were too few spots. The calls from the Internet cafes that wanted to cooperate with Starry Sky Age were almost overflowing.

Xu Yuheng was mainly responsible for the game business. He was so busy every day that he couldn’t participate in today’s battle and could only watch through the live broadcast.

The biggest problem with the development of the game was the production of game cabins and game helmets.

However, the beast wave issue had been resolved and his brother’s safety could basically be ensured. Thus, he wasn’t in a hurry.

Next, the construction of the City of the Braves was the top priority. In addition to building homes, many supporting things could be launched simultaneously.

His goal was to develop Starry Sky Age into the second world of humanity, so there was no need to take too big steps. He could proceed steadily and make every detail of the game the most important thing.

What’s more, the base of millions of players wasn’t small.

Players in Starry Sky Age were extremely active. Those who were willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy gaming helmets wouldn’t be so stingy that they wouldn’t spend any money in the game.

Even the players who entered in order to resell game currency still needed to deduct handling fees from the transactions.

There was absolutely no problem for Starry Sky Age to achieve profitability, but it still had a long way to go to recoup the huge investment in the early stage.

However, the technologies developed couldn’t be applied only to holographic games. It could continue to develop other values when there was spare capacity.

In the game, Orchid Moon City had started to clean up the battlefield. Players naturally couldn’t miss this type of corpse-picking work. They rushed to do it.

The wounded soldiers were rushed to the hospital. There were water healers and light healers fighting over the wounded.

The generals in charge of the city defense had long been used to strange things. They didn’t bother to care. The braves could do whatever they liked as long as they didn’t hurt anyone.

The administrators of each city started to get busy with the celebrations that would happen seven days later.

The materials originally prepared for the defense of the city were no longer needed, so some of them were used for the celebration. Every household was busy, so that they could use the best things to entertain the braves on this day.

The people of the Roland Empire hadn’t been so happy for a long time! This type of national celebration seemed to return time to many years ago.

At this moment, Xu Sili had returned to the palace and entered his music room to work hard.

He had a feeling that the tune he comprehended this time would probably become his fifth music skill! He didn’t know what the specific effect would be but he was still excited.

Naturally, Si Sheng didn’t disturb him and only stood by to guard him silently. For Si Sheng, he was satisfied as long as he could stay with his Ah Li.

Of course, he also quietly turned on the shooting system to record every beautiful scene.

By the time Xu Sili finally composed the song, it was already the third day.

Just as he realized it, he played the song completely and the system’s notification sounded.

[Ding~ Congratulations on your successful self-composed song. Please name the song!]

Xu Sili was ecstatic. He was about to think of a name and quickly see what the new skill was when he heard Si Sheng saying that Chamo wanted to see him.

Xu Sili could guess why Chamo came to him. Sure enough, Chamo told him about little Asheng after coming in.

Ever since she became the elf queen and reached a symbiotic state with the Tree of Life, little Asheng had been in a deep sleep.

Now more than a month had passed and she still showed no signs of waking up. Chamo tried many methods to no avail. Finally, he couldn’t help coming to Xu Sili for help.
