VCRMM: Chapter 143 Part 1

The first day of the battle of Glass Sea Plains ended but the Starry Sky Forum was still lively. An edited video was released that night.

The grand and compelling battle scenes, combined with the passionate BGM made people’s hearts surge. In the middle of the night, even the officials followed suit and released a promotional video of the battle.

Most of the players’ self-made materials came from the live broadcast rooms. It was filmed by themselves and it was inevitable that the game interface would also be filmed. This would affect the viewing effect to some extent.

The release from the officials was different. The front side, close-up and long-range views were very special. Each scene was exquisite and the composition was excellent.

In particular, the special shot of the NPC, His Majesty Roland, playing the flute!

At the beginning of the video, the young man stepped on the hovering flying saucer, his long silver hair dancing in the wind. His unmatched beauty was unconcealed in front of the camera.

Facing thousands of charging interstellar beasts, he took out the flute very indifferently. The warm and peaceful tune slowly played and the flute in the young man’s hand emitted a faint purple light, rendering this scene beautiful and moving.

The interstellar beasts were controlled by the sound of the flute. Their steps slowed down and everything seemed extremely harmonious and peaceful.

Then the next moment, the style changed. The sound of fighting was everywhere and the impassioned background music broke the initial tranquility.

Later, the players exerted their strength to beat the ferocious and powerful giant beasts, causing them to flee and completely collapse.

The entire promotional video edited the battle to be very exciting. It made people feel that they were at the scene while showing various game details in a hidden way. They even used some player shots that could be called godly operations and this was simply a highlight.

Among the players of the second closed beta, there were many rich people. After seeing themselves appear in the video, they directly bought a hot search with great joy and this added a wave of positive exposure to the game.

Xu Yuheng, who had just finished urging the publicity team to release the video and didn’t have time to do anything else, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after receiving the news.

In any case, it was a bonus as long as it wasn’t a strange CP hot search.

At first, the players were worried that the game team would modify His Majesty Roland’s data. After all, with his Majesty’s current skills, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say it was the same as opening a cheat program.

The damage was evenly divided and restored 1,000 health per second. There was the blessing of these states and the magic potions. Then the players were basically invincible!

In the future, a group…

No, if someone invited Snow Roland to participate in the team battle then could this battle still be fought?

Even with such doubts, it felt cool to be taken to fly. The players didn’t want their faction leader weakened.

Si Sheng’s previous feat of killing tens of thousands of interstellar beasts with his own strength impressed countless players and made him firmly occupy the throne of the NPC popularity list.

Now this number one spot was snatched away by his CP at the speed of light.

In the end, Si Sheng could only be strong by himself. His Majesty Snow was different. This ‘Starry Sky Support’ had become delicious food, who was recognized and supported by almost all players at present.

Therefore, the players paying attention to this matter sighed with relief when the game officials released a promotional video of the battle of Glass Sea Plains and generously gave His Majesty enough shots.

No one expected that the game group would deal them a big blow the next day!

The game group didn’t weaken Snow Roland but still put on restrictions.

The weekly order!

Those who didn’t have the weekly order weren’t eligible to enter the sixth army.

No matter how many merits they received the day before or how prestigious they were in the camp, there was no need to talk if they didn’t have a weekly order!

Once they had no weekly orders, they were killed by the interstellar beasts on the battlefield. These players posted and cried on the forum while scolding the game planners.

How happy were they yesterday and how angry and sad they were today?

No one mentioned an important setting like the weekly order later and they didn’t put too much effort into doing the daily tasks. It was simply too much.

What made people vomit blood was that every large-scale event in the future would need to use the weekly order.

In fact, the planners also felt bitter. They didn’t know about this setting at all! However, the detection system couldn’t detect a bug. Their hair was about to fall out, okay?

The weekly order was naturally something that Xu Sili came up with.

His mission editing panel couldn’t just write quests. He had unlocked a new feature after the main city was upgraded to lv 3: Props.

He could set special items, such as the weekly order which would disappear 24 hours after the player joined the sixth army. Once it disappeared, the player was automatically expelled from the sixth army.

Moreover, each weekly order had his sound element attached to it. On the battlefield, he could assist the players through the weekly order.

If they had a weekly order and hadn’t joined the sixth army, they couldn’t get the Balance bonus but they could still receive Sprouting. However, if they didn’t have the weekly order then he could only say sorry.

There was such a detailed setting function and it was undoubtedly more convenient to publish tasks. There was no need to manually create the resident order fragments like before.

Now, he repeated yesterday’s operation. He killed on the Glass Sea Plains, beating the interstellar beasts again to the point of collapsing and fleeing.

This time, Xu Sili didn’t return immediately. He ordered the administrator of Glass Sea City to send elemental engineers to build defensive barriers on the territory that they had just taken.

There was the escort of the sixth army and their safety was guaranteed.

Imperial City also sent thousands of elemental engineers to reinforce it. Under such ultra-high efficiency, a barrier that was thousands of kilometers long and around ten meters high took only two days to be built.

The administrator of Glass Sea City was an old man with a white beard and thin mustache. He stood on the newly built wall and looked down at Glass Sea Plains, crying so much that he was full of tears.

He never expected that in his lifetime, he would be able to leave the protective barrier of Glass Sea City, recovering the land that originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Glass Sea City.

The furthest distance might be one kilometer but it still made his heart pound.

For Xu Sili, such a result naturally wasn’t enough. However, time was short and he couldn’t act too hastily.

He stood in the sky and looked down at the barrier. He couldn’t help nodding secretly.

This barrier was different from the past.

The materials for building the barrier were synthesized by elementalists but the recipe came from the future forum and cost him a lot of points to redeem.

This synthetic material was so strong that even a diamond mountain beast could only leave shallow white marks on the surface. It was perfect for resisting beasts.

In the future when the Glass Sea Plains was leveled, this barrier would remain. If the future beast wave struck here, they would no longer be as passive as they were three years ago.

Moreover, Xu Sili installed plasma cannons at certain distances on the barrier.

Once he took out these things from the storage capsule in one go, the soldiers and civilians of Glass Sea City were all watching.

However, in terms of forum points, he was too busy these days and didn’t care much about the posts.

Ever since the pictures were posted last time, the popularity of the post had remained high. Someone shipping them every day urged him to update. He successively sent one or two daily photos but the viewers weren’t satisfied.

They were a group of lustful people who wanted to see pictures!

Xu Sili simply didn’t care. Those things, let’s talk about it later… after all, he was so tired during the day that he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow at night. Why bother with these things?

Glass Sea City had a warm climate and it wasn’t particularly cold even in winter. Xu Sili, who was particularly afraid of the cold, was very satisfied with the climate here.

The newly recovered land still needed relevant personnel to test the soil quality. After all, it had been occupied by interstellar beasts for a long time and the soil quality would definitely change.

Before the geological experts arrived, the garrison of Glass Sea City had already started surveying the recovered land under the order of the administrator.

The large interstellar beasts were driven away by them, but the existence of some small interstellar beasts or cubs couldn’t be ruled out. They were unstable factors.

Once all the dangers were eliminated, a military base might be built here, as well as a breeding farm to raise edible interstellar beast cubs.

Also, it could be allocated to the players of Glass Sea City to build bases. In order to protect the bases, the players would definitely fight desperately once an interstellar beast attacked.

Speaking of the player bases, as the war continued on the Glass Sea Plains, Xu Sili would occasionally listen to the players’ conversations and he heard something very interesting.

At present, there were only three player mercenary groups in Starry Sky Age who had gained a base. There was the Magic Box Mercenary Group and the Yusiqing Mercenary Group, both of which were from Imperial City. The third one was from Twilight Frost City.

It wasn’t until the third exchange of the resident order was successful that players discovered that Imperial City’s resident order cost 50 fragments while the other four main cities only needed 25 pieces.

This comforted those who were originally dissatisfied with the treatment of players of Imperial City. Combine this with the fact that the teleportation circle was officially opened and travel between the main cities was unimpeded, and the advantages of Imperial City weren’t as prominent as before.

By the time of the open beta, the problem of unfairness should improve a lot.

The interesting thing was that the mercenary group of Twilight Frost City didn’t build a base after gaining the land. Instead—

They opened a hot pot restaurant!

Naturally, this way of eating didn’t exist in the Roland Empire. Originally, it was strange enough to open a hot pot restaurant with the resident order, but just a few days after opening, it was loved by the NPCs of Twilight Frost City.

He heard that the members of the mercenary group relied on the hot pot restaurant to increase their reputation to the point of ‘Respect.’

There was an endless stream of business every day and there were NPCs who brought their own ingredients to the door. This hot pot mercenary group was very realistic and didn’t refuse the NPCs who brought their own ingredients. They just charged some venue fees. Unexpectedly, this increased their favorability and reputation value.

Now due to the battle on the Glass Sea Plains, there was no shortage of interstellar beasts in Twilight Frost City.

Many NPCs followed the example of the hot pot mercenary group. He heard that a street of hot pot and skewers had been opened.

Of course, in terms of taste, the NPCs were still worse than players. But in a case where they couldn’t get a number in line, there were many people who settled for second best.

In addition, there was this ‘joint battle’ so the name of Twilight Frost’s food street had now spread among players of major cities.

They met one after another. Once the battle was over, they had to go to Twilight Frost City to grab a meal.

Xu Sili maintained the image of a cold faction leader but he was already ready to move in his heart. He didn’t expect that the food street that he and his second brother was planning would be set up by Twilight Frost City first.

However, it was quite understandable according to the enthusiasm of the people of Twilight Frost City for food.

So in addition to the battle, he sent Wen Jishan to replan this food street and pass on a few recipes he had Janice previously develop to the people.

He believed that as long as it was really delicious, it would definitely shine.
