Deng Jianan saw the silver part covered by the golden light and the golden part extending outward. It wasn’t known what others thought, but he…
It felt so good!
He played infrastructure games and never liked building houses. He only liked to create maps. Once the map was finished, he wasn’t far from quitting the game.
This was especially the case for games that involved rebuilding from ruins. It felt really good to clean up the ruins bit by bit and finally having the map become clean.
Now, the updated navigation system of the game hit the spot perfectly!
There were also a lot of comfortable comments in the barrage. It was obvious that many people felt the same as he did.
[So this is the new gameplay that has just been launched? Defeating monsters + reclaiming land?]
[Wow, this map navigation is so convenient! It can also be updated in real time. I don’t have to worry about running into monsters when I go to wild maps in the future.]
[Am I the only one who is curious about what the black area looks like? Why is it black? Why can’t I see it?]
Deng Jianan exited the map to the initial interface and looked at the entire map of Escher Star. He tried to click on the black part but received no response.
“It seems that only the surrounding areas of the Roland Empire are open now. Perhaps we can only continue to check the black areas after all the dark gray areas are recovered.”
Deng Jianan expressed his opinion. “But the gray area alone is three or four times the size of the gold area. It will probably take a long time to recover it all.”
[You are underestimating our fourth natural disaster. If the game warehouse is well managed and millions of players are online at the same time, the map will be cleared in minutes.]
[My eyes are brimming with tears. When will the production capacity of the gaming equipment be increased?]
[Speaking of which, the entire Escher Star is so big. Is Roland really the only country left?]
[According to the NPC, this should be correct.]
The audience in the barrage had a heated discussion about the updated content.
But soon, someone raised the question that Deng Jianan was most concerned about. [So, will there be rewards for expanding the map and recovering the territory?]
The moment someone asked this question, there was an answer in the barrage.
[There are rewards! Check out the rankings. There is a new land recovery ranking! The rewards are quite generous.]
The moment Deng Jianan saw this, he quickly opened the ranking list and saw a new land recovery list at the bottom.
Currently, there was only one mercenary group on the list called Liuliu Dashun. The current amount of land recovered was 87 square meters.
It should be the mercenary group that just killed the screaming dryad.
Deng Jianan noticed that there was a reward description below. He quickly clicked on it to take a look.
Reward Rules:
- For every 10 square meters of land recovered on Escher Star, you will receive 100 Roland faction reputation points and 10 points of contribution as a reward.
-
For every 100 square meters of land recovered on Escher Star, you will receive 500 Roland faction reputation points and 50 points of contribution as a reward.
-
For every…
The reward rule was actually progressive.
The highest level reached 100,000 square meters. This reward, based on the faction reputation and contribution rewards, also added a legendary equipment!
In addition, there were also the ranking rewards.
Ranking List Reward Rules: Calculated once a month. The top ten teams or individuals of the month will receive a lucky bag.
The lucky bag might contain: inscribed equipment, rare materials, health medicine, blue medicine, blueprints, etc. The higher the ranking, the greater the probability of getting good things.
[Oh, I feel like I can start doing this!]
[Kill a screaming dryad and you will get 87 square meters. This means 800 reputation and 80 contribution points! In addition, the screaming dryad will drop items, so it is completely worth it to defeat the monster!]
[More than a win-win! The top ten players every month can get lucky bags. If you are lucky, you can get inscribed equipment or blueprints. That is a lot of money.]
Most of the people currently committed to defeating the screaming dryads were players who wanted to try their luck.
The drop rate of the screaming dryad was too low, and it was difficult to defeat the monsters. Therefore, many teams gave up after trying once or twice.
Once the new gameplay and new rules were released, there was undoubtedly a guarantee compared to the past. At the very least, they wouldn’t lose their money.
Besides, to regain the territory, one didn’t necessarily have to go to Siasa Forest.
The entire Roland border was very long.
Now there was a large area outside the border that was marked in silver.
These silver areas had all been visited by NPC armies, so they had some understanding of the map. The accuracy and richness of the information were much higher.
As for why these things were included in the navigation information?
Everyone had a communicator after all. In a sense, the communicators were Xiao Wu’s eyes.
It wasn’t difficult to collect this information.
The main thing was that his analytical ability was particularly strong. Soldiers liked to use communicators to scan exotic animals and plants and analyze intelligence through the intelligent system.
Naturally, this information was recorded and archived by Xiao Wu. Now it came in handy again.
Therefore, under the guidance of the navigation system and new tasks, more and more players rushed to the Roland border.
The main force of players participating this time was mostly newbies.
The current strength was too low. Killing monsters not only quickly increased experience points, but also gave them reputation and contribution points. Who wouldn’t like that?
Of course, they also followed the advice of veteran players. The daily tasks of ‘Respecting the elderly and loving the young’ must not be abandoned.
The number of players might’ve increased a lot, but the total population of the Roland Empire was more than 90 million. Out of that, at least 30 million were elderly people. There was no need to worry about not being able to receive missions.
In addition to actively participating in the mission to recover the land, players also gained a more intuitive understanding of the game background of Escher Star.
The usage of the navigation map skyrocketed.
However, the location information on the map wasn’t complete. Some hidden places weren’t recorded. Players could manually mark them on the map and could choose to upload it or not.
If the upload was successful and adopted, they could get certain rewards. This also allowed some players, who liked to travel around the map and explore, have more fun.
Every day that followed, they just had to open the navigation map and they would find that the golden area was slowly expanding outward.
The intuitive feeling of the empire gradually becoming stronger gave many people a sense of satisfaction and pride. This also led more players to choose to devote themselves to this cause.
The navigation map was also applied to the NPC army.
Silin once again felt the power brought by technology. The role that the detailed intelligence obtained in advance could play on the battlefield was unimaginable.
She also discovered that more braves had joined the battlefield. There was even a fight for possession.
They rushed forward and showed no fear even when facing powerful beasts. It was truly admirable.
She worked harder and more diligently.
In the final analysis, the braves were the external force. Her own strength was the real strength!
This was how she admonished the soldiers.
Silin didn’t know that the players really loved and hated her.
On the one hand, this princess was really charming. Everyone succumbed to her beauty and wisdom. On the other hand…
D*mn, Silin brought the NPC army to steal monsters again!
Stimulated by the NPC army, the players fought even harder. The territory of the golden area was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Around a month later, the Roland Empire launched two more artificial satellites.
However, the images taken by these two satellites wouldn’t be synchronized to the players.
The large area that players could see was still black.
After all, Xu Sili knew this group of fools very well.
If only a small area was opened, they might be excited to play it. Then what if all the maps to be opened were released at once?
Few players could probably hold on.
Therefore, the map should be opened little by little. This way, it would give players hope and they would recover it little by little. Then he would open it again when the time was right!
This was called boiling a frog in warm water and playing the long game to catch a big fish.
In any case, the reward he gave wouldn’t be small.
The four satellites were able to present most of the images of Escher Star in front of them.
They also made the heavy discovery that most of Escher Star was completely ruled by strange beasts and plants. it would take a long time to eliminate all these ‘monsters.’
Xu Sili looked at the images on the screen and remembered his previous promise to the mentors.
Once he had the ability, he would build a new city named after their homeland on the site of their homeland.
However, as the former strongest country, the Roland Empire had a very large territory.
The land that had been recovered so far was less than half of the original land area. This meant even Roland’s former neighbors were out of reach currently.
After some consideration, Xu Sili invited several mentors over.
The moment the instructors saw the satellite map, they couldn’t help admiring Miss Aina. In particular, Bazel and the others couldn’t contain their excitement.
Finally, they could see real hope!
“Your Majesty, you called us here. What do you want us to do for you,” Old Hou asked.
Xu Sili pointed at the map. “I hope the teachers can recall the names of their places based on your original impressions. If you really can’t think of one, just make it up.
Cultural heritage was still very important. It was also one of the ways to cultivate players’ feelings. If the old place names were used, some plots might be triggered.
If possible, Xu Sili didn’t want to give these places cold numbers.
Finally, this task was handed over to the most knowledgeable Old Hou.
In fact, it wasn’t right to call him Old Hou now. Thanks to the level cap being raised to lv 50, the five mentors had already covered their peak strength. Their looks had long since returned to their youthful appearances.
If Old Hou’s grandson was here, he would definitely discover a cruel reality.
His grandfather looked younger than him!
Before he knew it, Si Sheng finally reached the finals of the Genius Competition.
