The kingdom's resources began to be stretched thin, and morale began to decline.
The king felt unprecedented pressure and knew that if the problem was not solved soon, his kingdom might collapse.
He began to seek foreign aid, hoping to find a way to deal with these mysterious attackers.
In fact, there is a way.
The attackers' power is still weak.
Villagers reported that when they fought, their strength was about the same as that of a strong man.
A single charge from the cavalry will solve the problem.
War is always cruel.
During an operation, Li Jin's team encountered an ambush from Wang Guochen's team.
They designed a military assembly point and deliberately exposed it so that the other party could come and attack it.
In fact, they were hiding nearby ten miles away.
As a result, Li Jin and others were surrounded and faced with enemies several times their size.
"We can't give up!" Li Jin shouted loudly, waving his sword and rushing towards the enemy.
He is now level 13.
There is a set of basic swordsmanship that is sharp and accurate, and every sword strike carries the determination to kill.
However, there were too many enemies. One player was accidentally shot by an enemy's arrow and fell in a pool of blood.
Li Jin's heart was filled with pain, but he knew that they could not fall here.
Fortunately, the player disappeared soon.
This made him feel much more relaxed.
As long as it can still be resurrected.
Others are not afraid anymore.
But soon they will find that they cannot rely on resurrection as a means to deal with the people of the kingdom.
"Retreat!" Li Jin gave the order, and they began to fight and retreat. After paying a huge price, they finally broke through the enemy's siege.
Back in the valley, Li Jin and his team received a hero's welcome.
Their actions successfully pinned down the kingdom's army and bought valuable time for the valley.
However, there was no joy in Li Jin's heart. He knew that the war was not over yet, and they still needed to find more effective ways to fight against the kingdom.
Sure enough, after he logged off, he found that dead players could not come online again.
Their accounts have been canceled.
"How is that possible?"
"Is this a championship game? You can only play it once?"
"Damn it, if I had known it, I wouldn't have died so easily."
The game forum exploded.
This kind of difficult game has never been popular.
Who would be interested in playing an online game that only has one life and cannot be restarted like a stand-alone game?
That is to say, human OL, a game where you are born with no choice of your own, will continue to have ignorant players fall into the trap.
If everyone knew from the beginning what fate they would suffer in the future, many people might not choose to play.
It should be said that most of them choose not to play.
After all, you will die in the end, it is a game leading to despair.
Who would play such a game anymore?
But now Li Jin just wants to live forever and wants to make the game infinite.
At a meeting, the players came up with a new plan.
They decided to use their advantages to attack the kingdom's transportation and supply lines, preventing the kingdom's army from receiving effective support.
At the same time, the secret of immortality is also spreading among players.
They began searching for clues in the hope of finding the secret. They believed that if they could master the power of immortality, they would be able to better protect the valley.
During a mission in the valley, Li Jin discovered a new mission.
That is the wise man who seeks the valley.
The wise men hold clues to immortality.
He realized that the secret might be related to the kingdom's greed.
Subsequently, under the continuous attacks from the players, the Wang Guochen team began to retreat.
The king realized that he could not defeat these mysterious enemies, and he began to seek peace.
His ambition was restrained.
The main reason is that there is an endless stream of players.
Although it is a championship game for the time being, the game planner is still forced to come out.
"This is just a test server, so files will be deleted when players die. Is this reasonable?"
"In the official server, although everyone's resurrection opportunities are limited, they can supplement their resurrection through specific tasks, or they can entrust others to resurrect themselves."
After everyone heard this, they were satisfied.
It is normal that the test server cannot be revived.
The carrying capacity of their servers is weak, so they want more players with different characteristics to come in and test.
After all, this is a real game.
…………
At this moment, in the center of the valley, Li Jin stood on a high platform, his eyes firm and distant.
He knew that this war was far from over.
At least now, the people of the valley can enjoy peace.
He clenched the sword in his hand and secretly swore in his heart that he would always protect this land until the last moment.
His decision quickly paid off.
…………
Zhao Han stood at the highest point of the valley, overlooking the land she and Xiao Huan protected together.
The smoke of war has dissipated, but the heroic figures of those players who fought for peace in the valley still linger in front of her eyes.
These players are pretty good.
Although it was just a game, for them, they gave everything.
She knows that these players have paid too much for this land in another world.
Many of them even gave their "lives" in the battle.
Although in the real world, they just lost a chance to play, in the game world, their sacrifice is so real.
"Xiao Huan, we need to do something for them, at least let them feel that their efforts are rewarded." Zhao Han said softly.
Xiao Huan stood beside her, her eyes also falling on the valley in the distance.
"What they desire is not only the excitement of adventure, but also the exploration of the limits of life."
Zhao Han was silent for a while, and then said: "Then, let us grant them immortality."
"In the past, when we were ordinary people, this was what we longed for most."
"As long as they are willing to continue to protect this land, they can have eternal life here."
The news quickly spread among players.
The wise men appeared and praised them for gaining the approval of the guardians of the valley.
The guardian spirit decided to bestow upon loyal players the blessing of immortality.
This is not only recognition of their courage, but also compensation for their sacrifice.
Players are excited. "Immortality" is a dream that many people dream of.
But the wise men clearly told them that this blessing was not without conditions - they must continue to guard the valley and fight against any forces that attempt to invade.
The players accepted this condition.
For them, being able to gain eternity in this world full of magic and miracles is already the ultimate reward.
With the blessing of immortality being granted, players find that their lives in the game are no longer limited. Even if they "die" in battle, they can be resurrected by the holy spring in the valley and rejoin the battle.
"Hey guys, this is a test server and it has become a permanent server!" someone said excitedly.
They immediately became braver and more fearless because they knew that as long as the valley survived, they could fight forever.
Immediately, another New Kingdom team appeared again at the misty border of the valley.
The last kingdom has ceased.
But the king secretly passed the news to other kings.
Under the temptation of longevity, they naturally couldn't resist, but chose to come over for a sneak attack.
But this time, they faced a group of almost immortal warriors. The players used amazing speed and strength to repel the kingdom's attacks time and time again.
Another king finally realized that he was no longer facing a simple war, but a group of guardians with eternal life. He had to reconsider his strategy.
Although the combat effectiveness of the players has been greatly enhanced, Zhao Han still has a trace of worry in his heart.
Is immortality really a gift? Or is it another curse?
Will she get into new trouble?
You must know that as long as a person's life is long, he can do anything.
She began to think, what is the meaning of eternal life?
Players have gained eternity in the game world, but what will happen to their lives in the real world?
Zhao Han decided to have an in-depth conversation with the players. She wanted to understand their thoughts, their wishes, and their understanding of eternity.
In the conference hall of the valley, players gathered together. Many of them have spent countless days and nights in the game.
They already have deep feelings for this world.
Some people start to completely forget about the real world.
And the forces in the real world have also penetrated deeply into this game world, and many people have come here to take root.
Treat the real world as a place to sleep.
If it weren't for their physical needs in the real world, many people wouldn't want to go back at all.
How nice is it to be here?
You don’t have to worry about food, drink, and fun, nor do you have to worry about retirement issues.
There is no need to face the fear of death.
"Immortality gives us more time to explore the world and experience different lives," said a player.
"But we also have to think about, what should we do in the real world?" Another player asked.
"Yes, many people are starting to be jealous of us."
"I heard that someone was murdering us, and I thought that everyone would die the same way."
"Yes, doesn't this mean that no one is allowed to escape in time alone?"
"That's right."
Zhao Han listened to their voices.
She realized that the blessing of immortality was not only a gift of power, but also a responsibility and choice.
In the end, Zhao Han and the players reached a consensus. They will continue their fight in the game to protect this land.
But in the real world, they will cherish their lives and use their experiences in the game to enrich their reality.
They need to balance two keys.
At the same time, you can also hide your consciousness in the game world when encountering danger.
In this way, real-world threats are reduced.
They made an eternal oath - in the game, they will forever protect the valley; in reality, they will pursue a meaningful life.
Zhao Han looked at these players, and her heart was filled with respect. She knew that they were more than just characters in the game, they were real heroes.
This time, she finally met a group of reliable people.
…………
at the same time.
Li Jin took off his virtual reality helmet, escaped from the excitement of the game world, and returned to his simple and modern apartment.
Outside the window, the city's neon lights flashed with cold light, forming a sharp contrast with the vibrant valley in the game.
He stood up, walked to the window, and took a deep breath of the air of the real world. Li Jin knew that although he had received the blessing of immortality in the game.
But in the real world, he is still an ordinary human being with his own life and work.
Li Jin turned on the computer and began to record his experiences in the game.
He found that through writing, he could combine the adventures of the game world with real-world thinking and find a balance between the two.
He decided to set a rule for himself: only enter the game world every day after work and daily life.
He believes that only by arranging time reasonably can one be able to enjoy the adventure in the game without affecting real life.
On the game forum, Li Jin found that many players were discussing how to balance games and real life. Many of them faced similar dilemmas to him.
Just watching, he suddenly thought, why not completely enter the game and never go back.
However, he can't do this, because the game is not the original body, but only the consciousness.
Then a question arises, what happens if the body in the real world dies?
"I think we should set a goal in the game and then allocate time to achieve it instead of endlessly indulging in it," one player wrote in the post.
"I have tried to apply the skills in the game to reality, such as learning strategies from the game to solve problems at work." Another player shared.
Li Jin was deeply inspired, and he began to think about how to transform the experience in the game into growth in real life.
In the next update of the game, Zhao Han accepted the players' suggestions.
She introduced a new system - Reality Synchronization.
This system allows players to convert part of their in-game experience into real-life skill points, helping them improve themselves in the real world.
Zhao Han wrote in the game's announcement: "We hope that players can find fun in the game and continue to grow in real life. The blessing of immortality is not only in the game, but also an attitude towards life.
.”
As time went by, Li Jin found that his adventures in the game began to affect his real life.
He has become more decisive, braver, and knows how to cherish time.
He began to find a balance between work and games, applying the teamwork spirit in games to work, and applying problem-solving strategies in games to challenges in life.
One day, Li Jin encountered a difficult project in the company. He found that he could quickly analyze the problem, formulate a plan, and lead the team to overcome difficulties just like in a game.
His boss noticed his changes and began to give him more responsibilities and opportunities.
Li Jin realized that the blessing of immortality in the game gave him a "second life" in real life.
They are no longer afraid of old age and death in reality.
Because they discovered a fact: death in reality does not affect the body in the game.
At most, it is impossible to go offline.
This means that the game world will be a true paradise.
