Xu Sili looked at the system notification carefully.
After clicking in, the towns in the territory panel appeared. Now there was one more town option, but the basic information was all question marks. Only the location showed that it was the underground ruins of the Siasa Forest.
He looked at the panel and then looked down.
The joyful players were busy building. It was a thriving scene.
Since this underground ruin wasn’t on his panel, it was naturally not under the management of the existing system of the Roland Empire.
This also meant that players could unscrupulously enclose and build on land. Whoever occupied it first owned it.
There were no prerequisite tasks to complete or anything to purchase. There was no need to obey the constraints of imperial laws. It was a completely lawless area.
It was okay now. After all, it was still the beginning stage. The area of the underground ruins was probably larger than a main city for the small players.
There was a lot of unowned land, so disputes naturally weren’t likely to arise. Then what about in the future?
Xu Sili thought of this and frowned.
This place was the Siasa Ruins, where Turles and Small Round Biscuit had lived for many years. No matter what he did with it, he had to ask for Small Round Biscuit’s opinion.
Thinking this, he and Si Sheng continued to fly in.
It had to be said that the players’ imagination was endless.
Xu Sili could never imagine that they would actually build a house in the underground ruins. At most, he only thought that these people might do some landscaping and planting.
In addition, they built it so successfully in such a short period of time?
The eerie and terrifying feeling in the underground ruins caused by the darkness had now been completely swept away.
Under the illumination of countless lights, the originally dark steps were completely illuminated. Chandeliers were connected to the top with ropes and there were also more advanced floating lamps.
The lights weren’t dazzling but exuded a hint of warmth.
Look at the stone walls where they couldn’t see the top at all, and combine this with the ancient atmosphere full of the vicissitudes of life. Walking through it gave people a sense of grandeur and shock.
The inscriptions on both sides of the stone walls weren’t destroyed. Xu Sili went deeper and saw Turles’ inscription illusions again.
He was still quite moved watching it a second time.
Then when the illusion ended, the feeling of sadness dissipated a lot when he saw the small houses on the stone steps and the players having fun.
In fact, it felt pretty good to have these fools around.
He just wondered what Turles and the sprite would think when they saw this scene.
Xu Sili watched the illusion this time and thought of something he hadn’t noticed before. Why were the strange beasts that suddenly appeared a hundred years ago called interstellar beasts later on?
He had asked Xiao Wu to investigate before and found that there was no record of these beasts on the Star Network. The only record was from Escher Star.
Moreover, how did these alien plants appear out of nowhere? Where did they come from? Could it be an undiscovered and unexplored area?
In fact, if he looked beyond the context of the game designer’s thinking, such a background was definitely intended to increase the playability of the game.
It was only by transforming the novice planet, Escher Star, into various monster areas that it would be more convenient for players to kill monsters and level up, rather than enjoying killing NPCs.
But given the rigorous logic of Starry Sky Age, there must be certain reasons for the appearance of these strange beasts and plants.
So, what could be the reason?
Xu Sili pursed his lips.
There weren’t many people who had experienced the disaster a hundred years ago and were still alive today. Even if they were asked, they might not know the truth.
Perhaps he would only know the real answer after he had explored all of Escher Star.
However, this might still take a long time.
It was because even in the future forum ten years later, there was no record of any exploration in this area.
Once the future players came into contact with the interstellar world, they focused on chasing mechas, battleships and interstellar travel. As for rebuilding Escher Star?
That was just a hobby of a small number of players.
It was just like Siasa Forest. In the future, after players had mastered the power of mechas, they would choose to directly use artillery fire to bomb and clear monsters. No one would discover the ruins hidden underground.
He didn’t know if the little sprite of that world was still guarding Turles’ stone tablet, waiting for a successor…
Xu Sili shook his head. He couldn’t let such a tragedy happen again.
As long as he was around, players could forget about venturing into the interstellar space ahead of time. They must first build the Roland Empire before he let them out.
In this way, they could truly regard Escher Star as their home. After all, every brick and tile had their contributions.
As Xu Sili thought about this, he toured the underground ruins under Si Sheng’s guidance.
He had left in a hurry last time and only went to the inheritance chamber behind the test passage. In fact, the area of the underground ruins was very large.
This was originally a place where the ancestors of Siasa took refuge. Traces of past life could vaguely be seen in some places.
The space occupied by players wasn’t much. It was mainly concentrated on the stone steps of the inscription illusion.
Perhaps because it was the entrance, but it had a high flow of people and was quite popular.
As he went deeper, the number of houses he could see gradually decreased. In the end, he was plunged into darkness again.
Looking at the quiet and dark environment, Xu Sili suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to let players build a dungeon here.
Of course, it all depended on what the sprite thought.
Once he patrolled and confirmed that the players hadn’t caused any damage, they left together and prepared to go to the Elementalist Academy to find the sprite.
Xu Sili had also felt the inconvenience during this trip.
Perhaps it was indeed necessary to build a two-way teleportation circle in the Siasa Forest, but he also knew that the teleportation circle must not be controlled by players.
He remembered what Wen Jishan had reported to him.
Several major mercenary groups had invested money and found Chi Yu’s team, hoping to build such a two-way teleportation circle.
It was just a simple sentence but he had already associated many things to it.
Given the nature of player guilds, it was difficult to guarantee that this teleportation circle wouldn’t be monopolized by large guilds after it was built.
He could already imagine the scenario where these big guilds arranged it to be guarded by people while non-guild members had to hand in their belongings every time they wanted to use it.
Perhaps there would be discounts for NPCs using it, and the large guilds could use this to build good relationships with NPCs. From another perspective, weren’t these NPCs also resources?
This was especially the case for players, where a mission would be generated as long as the NPC made a request to them.
This would also destroy the fairness of the game.
Xu Sili would never allow this to happen.
It was only by ensuring the fairness of the game as much as possible and making players fall in love with the game that they could continue to attract new players and keep them pouring into the game.
This was very important both for his own company and for the Roland Empire.
Xu Sili sent a message to Wen Jishan, asking him to prepare to build a two-way teleportation circle and incorporate it into the public services of the Roland Empire.
In the future, any private construction of a teleportation circle would be illegal.
Once Xu Sili finished the arrangements, Si Sheng took him to the Elementalist Academy.
Then he discovered that Small Round Biscuit was directing Su Lin and being busy in his room.
Su Lin once stayed in the warrior department for many years due to the backward testing method of the academy. Finally, he succeeded in transferring departments with Xu Sili’s help.
He was once weak and helpless. Now he had walked out on a path of his own.
Originally after transferring to another department, his level was very low. Then he unexpectedly gained many benefits when the main city was upgraded.
It was delayed for many years, but he successfully became a one star elementalist. He was currently trying to advance to two stars. Now a two star elementalist was no longer out of reach among NPCs
In addition to Xu Sili and several mentors who had returned from outer space, Dean Justin also made rapid progress in strength once the level restrictions were lifted.
Now he had successfully advanced to the strength of three and a half stars. The biggest change was probably that he had become younger.
Su Lin made an indispensable contribution to the successful development of the health potion.
He had refused when Xu Sili offered to give him a reward.
Later, due to his acquaintance with Chi Yu, Su Lin became extremely fascinated by magic circles. The magic circle instructor, Dominic, returned to Escher Star and Xu Sili let him study with Master Dominic.
Over the past six months, he had gained a basic understanding of magic circle techniques and was continuing his studies in this area.
At the same time, he didn’t give up on his training and took the initiative to take on the task of managing green plants at the Elementalist Academy.
So when Yulia was preparing to build a treehouse for Small Round Biscuit, the academy guards introduced Su Lin to her.
Su Lin was also very willing to help.
According to the little sprite’s request, Su Lin grew various green plants in the room, preparing to transform it into a ‘dense forest.’
Of course, this was relative to the size of the sprite.
In fact, Small Round Biscuit could also control the growth of plants. The banyan trees in the Siasa Forest could survive due to him.
However, he had no seeds and couldn’t grow more plants.
After seeing the seeds that Su Lin brought over, his eyes lit up and he wanted to dive into them.
His room had almost finished its decorations when Xu Sili came over. Once he heard about the underground ruins, the little sprite expressed his desire to go back.
Instead of passing the test and becoming inscription masters as soon as possible, these humans actually dared to make trouble in his house?
He must teach them a lesson!
