Chapter 361 You Can Buy a House
The game was officially launched, and hundreds of thousands of new players flocked into the game, but they did not gather in the same place, but were scattered.
For the magical world, which players speculate is at least three times the size of the Earth's land area, these hundreds of thousands of people were thrown into it and left to act on their own. It is very likely that they would never meet another person in their entire lives.
Luckily this is a game.
Everyone is just thrown into a "different server", and there is also a novice village, which is better than the treatment of beta test players.
The number of video views of "France Circle Weekly" began to surge.
Even the column's page views have skyrocketed.
Similar programs include "The Guide to Playing the French Circle", "Skipping Class in the French Circle", "The Complete Collection of the French Circle", etc. With the influx of a large number of bloggers, the programs have exploded.
After confirming that this game was extremely real, everyone couldn't help but indulge in it.
"The Great Rift Expedition 1.0 has been launched, but the game has not changed at all, the level has not been upgraded, and even at this stage there is no plot related to the Great Rift. We guess that the key plot has not been triggered yet."
“This may be the time the authorities give new players to adapt, so that everyone can improve their strength and level as much as possible to deal with the powerful enemies in version 1.0.
A friend of mine was very lucky and actually appeared directly in the Rand Kingdom. It's really enviable.
There are many countries in the world, and appearing in which novice village does not affect the gaming experience. The undead people will one day become heroes that the NPCs must look up to.
When it comes to becoming a hero, how can we miss the introduction of weapons? Let me first introduce to you the weapons and professions that are currently most suitable for pioneering. Here they will be divided according to continents, countries, and territories. If your area is not mentioned, you are welcome to submit your article. "
Lind turned off the video. This time, a large number of undead really poured into the Rand Kingdom. The number has not been counted yet, but it is definitely over ten thousand.
The total number of participants in the public beta test exceeded at least 600,000, and this was only the first hour of the first period.
It is not ruled out that more and more people will enter the game in the later stages, and it will not be a problem for the peak number of online users to exceed one million, and it may even exceed ten million in the future.
Disaster?
The greatest disaster has already arrived.
The question is whether the Great Rift in the Abyss can withstand the suicidal attacks of so many fearless monsters.
Far water cannot quench a nearby fire, so Lind can only focus on what is nearby. He has arrived at the Snake Catcher's Fortress that is under construction, and decided to temporarily focus his energy on the Snake Catcher's Fortress until he finishes the work here.
Although there are many new undead, they will not cause big trouble in a short period of time. They are curious about this world and will explore it with novel eyes. They will also be guided by the undead. The vast majority of undead still belong to the "lawful" camp.
In order to cope with the sudden arrival of a large number of undead, Lind had already arranged some "interesting" jobs for the undead, opened up a points function, a points redemption store, and so on.
Not only in the Snake Catcher's Fortress, but also in other areas, each store has its own exclusive professions and exchange equipment.
All regions had already received the notification at the first opportunity. The local soldiers and merchants, who were already accustomed to being NPCs, arranged each undead with ease, as seamlessly as the rotation of gears.
In order to enhance the undead's sense of belonging and prevent them from acting rashly, Lind's other killer move is to open up the "house purchase" function.
Not only the novice village, all the main cities have a serious problem: lack of population.
There are a lot of empty houses, but no one lives in them.
Not to mention the many abandoned villages, fishing grounds, and disaster-shadow farming areas in the wilderness.
It is sold for a period of 70 years, so that the undead can also feel the reality in the game world, as if they are living in the real world.
In this world, there is no problem of not being able to pay off a mortgage. Most people don’t even need to spend money to live in a house, as long as they are willing to work hard and complete a few more tasks.
Each person is limited to purchasing houses and only has the right to live in the house. The land still belongs to the lord and must obey the laws of the Rand Kingdom.
What Lind wants is for the undead to come and live here and become a member of the Rand Kingdom. Even if they leave here in the future to go to advanced maps, they will not kill people at will because this is their "home".
The strength of the undead is growing, and everyone will be at the heroic or epic level in the future. The city will not be able to resist their invasion and can only play the emotional card.
As the "housing purchase" policy was opened up, it unexpectedly caused an uproar.
Upon seeing this, the undead in many areas also asked the lords of their own areas, and were then scolded by the lords.
The house and the land are the private property of the lord. How dare you, a bunch of undead monsters, get your hands on them? Get lost!
Lind, who had no idea that his actions had been labeled "Difficulty: Intimate", was about to take a look at his "Crystal Defense Tower". This should be the first one, because the craftsmanship of the crystal defense tower in Star Dragon City was not very sophisticated. Not only was the appearance too rough and did not conform to the aesthetics of the Rand Kingdom, but many magic circles were not included in it. After several experiments, it has been included in the demolition plan.
It will be demolished once the new crystal defense tower of Star Dragon City is completed.
Today's crystal defense towers integrate many functions, such as the "teleportation magic circle".
In the future, each main city will build a teleportation magic circle, which can only be opened after the consent of both places, truly connecting the two places.
The protective buildings of the crystal defense tower are also being strengthened, even including arrow towers and a wizard tower erected around it to carry out daily care, maintenance and operation.
After confirming that everything was correct, Lind prepared to go into the city to check the progress of the fortress's reconstruction.
In his plan, the Snake Catcher's Fortress should serve as an "arena".
The functional division of each main city is a last resort. In layman's terms, this is called dragging out the game time so that players can play for a while longer.
Moreover, the points he set between the different territories are not universal. It is necessary to ensure that each territory has irreplaceable functions, so that the undead people will work hard to brush every place and start grinding.
A melodious piano sound suddenly attracted Linde's attention. He felt a power like sweet spring water flowing into his body along with the piano sound and singing.
He looked up and found a woman sitting on a big rock, holding a harp and plucking the strings gently. She had long hair that fluttered like silk in the wind, and her singing drowned out the shouts at the scene.
The singing was magical. Lind looked carefully and found that the woman was not sitting on the stone. She was floating quietly. The sound waves flowed with the wind, swirling and drifting, nourishing everyone.
With her singing, people worked faster and recovered their strength faster.
She finished singing a song and fell to the ground, apparently noticing Lind's arrival.
"My Lord," she bent down.
"What should I call you?"
"Ainar, I'm from Crescent Town."
"What a perfect performance! Your power..." Lind said, "You are a great knight, right?"
He recognized at a glance that the other person was not a wizard. Although she was singing by playing the piano to bring strength to people, to Linde it felt more like a knight's war cry, a technique to inspire the body rather than a magical blessing.
Ainar nodded: "Yes."
"It's a very interesting ability," Lind said directly. "Your ability is very useful in war and can increase the survival rate of soldiers. I hope to buy the potion formula related to your ability."
Different statuses will lead to different chat styles.
When he is in a low position, he has to estimate the other party's feelings, but when he is in a high position, he only needs to make an offer, and it is difficult for the other party not to accept it.
At most, he is just a little greedy, but Linde has plenty of wealth.
"Of course!" Ainar nodded without thinking.
It was a pleasant exchange. Linde was very generous and willing to give her more compensation, such as wealth. In Linde's eyes, these were just resources whose function was to exchange for other resources. Money that could not be spent was just scrap metal.
But Ainar refused the gift and compensation.
When Lind separated from the other party, he said to the officer in charge of the reconstruction of the Snake Catcher Fortress, "Give her more convenience, and prevent anyone from harassing her. Oh, and leave her a house in the Snake Catcher Fortress."
For those who can actively provide help, Lind doesn't mind compensating more in other invisible aspects. This ability is of little use in her hands, but if transferred to the battlefield, it is equivalent to a group of soldiers being able to increase their strength by 10%-20% at no cost. Increased strength can avoid death and sacrifice.
More victory.
"The Duke is coming!"
After walking a distance, several children cheered for Lind's arrival.
"Why are there still children?" Linde looked at the three children in confusion and waved at them.
"Sir! They are also residents of Crescent Town. Since the adults come here to work, they come along too."
"Yeah," Lind nodded and looked down at the three little guys.
But the three of them were not as afraid of him as he had imagined, and were even whispering. However, the sound of their whispering reached Lind's ears word for word.
"He doesn't look that tall, George," said the little girl, "but he is very handsome."
"He has blonde hair!" The youngest opened his arms and raised them above his head.
Lind bent down and asked, "Why, am I very short?"
This is a very interesting statement. I didn’t expect that in the eyes of children, I am still a dwarf.
There are not many people taller than me now. The only ones who are definitely taller than me are the Red Knight and Carl who can't speak.
The three little guys were so scared by Linde's sudden words that they covered their mouths and dared not speak.
Other people around also saw what happened here, but they were not sure whether Lind would be angry because of the child's words. No one moved, but watched quietly, perhaps praying in their hearts.
The little boy mustered up his courage, looked up at Lind, and said, "My aunt likes you and she wants to marry you!"
"Hahaha!" Linde laughed and rubbed the boy's head gently. "It's really my honor. I believe your aunt must be a beauty. But it's a pity that I already have a fiancée."
"Yeah, that's a shame," the little boy sighed.
The three children were sighing, but the people around them, whether soldiers or ordinary people, were laughing, and the tense atmosphere was swept away.
"GEORGE!!" there was a sharp shout in the distance.
A woman with a red face ran over.
"Sir, I, I." Her cheeks flushed and she was very embarrassed.
"What a cute child." Lind smiled, turned and walked towards the crystal defense tower. The people around him automatically dispersed after Lind left.
The aunt reached out and pulled George's ears, and the little guy was forced to stand up on tiptoe because of his ears.
It’s over. I’m definitely going to get beaten today.
