Two years can be said to be fast or slow. If you don't pay attention, it will slip away from your hands.
Xia Xiaofei has become accustomed to today's fishing life.
The treatment of the player strategy team is excellent, especially since there is not much to do, it is simply a paradise for fishermen.
Originally, the higher-ups didn't have any objections. They felt that since players joined the countermeasures team, they should contribute to the country and not use taxpayers' money to support idle people.
But as several magic players became more and more unscrupulous, they escaped from the players of the countermeasure team several times.
Only then did I realize that it is better to be an idle person.
People are afraid of comparison.
Compared with those magic players and the wild players who make trouble from time to time, these salty fish players who are kept in the countermeasure group are truly harmless to humans and animals.
Every move is under surveillance, so you never have to worry about them causing trouble.
Just like what Xia Xiaofei once said to Ren Yanyan, if he doesn't take action, it will be the greatest stability for society.
This sentence applies to every player.
If possible, the strategy team now wants to support every player, even if it is just a casual meal.
Compared with expenditures on pensions and urban disaster reconstruction funds, the expenditures on raising players can be said to be a drop in the bucket.
This day.
Xia Xiaofei let out a breath of turbid air, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"I have been back for such a long time, and I have finally returned to my cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, as well as my first magic weapon in this world."
As his thoughts moved, a white stream of light circled around his body like a swimming fish, and finally stopped on his palm.
It was a flying sword, or a flying needle.
It's not that he doesn't want to refine a genuine flying sword, it's just that due to the limited materials, just one flying needle has spent more than two years of his salary.
Thanks to the player's strategy, he can provide food and accommodation, otherwise he will have to sleep on the street.
But with such a flying needle, his combat power can be said to have jumped to another level.
Just when he was excited and a little high-spirited, the familiar voice sounded in his ears again.
"Ding! Dear player Xia Xiaofei, the game "Fairy and Demon" has been updated.
This time we have added richer gameplay, allowing you to have a more novel experience in the game world.
Please protect your body, the game will start in three days.
I wish you a happy game."
Wow!
Xia Xiaofei stood up suddenly and walked quickly towards the office of the player countermeasures team.
…
"The game has been updated!"
This news spread throughout the entire player strategy team and Xia Kingdom's senior management almost instantly.
The core meeting room of the player strategy team.
Ren Yanyan attended the meeting as one of the player representatives.
As for a marginal salty player like Xia Xiaofei, as long as he doesn't look for trouble and reports his schedule every day, it doesn't matter whether he comes to work or not, let alone attend such a key meeting.
"First thing, do you have the ability to arrange new players?"
The leader looked at Ren Yanyan and others eagerly.
After they learned about the game "Fairy and Demon", they checked almost all the registered game manufacturers in Xia Kingdom, but did not get any clues.
So now that I heard that "Fairy and Demon" has been relaunched, the first thing I care about is to add new players, and it's best to let your own people take the lead.
Those uncontrolled players have caused them too much trouble in the past two years.
If players can become their own people, then Xia Guo's various technologies will achieve explosive breakthroughs.
After all, occultism does not talk about science, at least it does not talk about current science.
Let’s take the simplest example.
Some materials that can only exist and be imagined can be successfully created due to the participation of players.
The significance of breakthroughs in materials science to modern social science is self-evident.
Hearing this, Ren Yanyan shook her head and smiled bitterly:
"We can't even control online and offline, let alone arranging new people. It's not certain whether we can come back after this game.
The only good news is that we are going to enter the game, and those magic players are also going to enter the game.
This is our opportunity.
As long as we can find their sleeping bodies and destroy them before they return, even if they have all kinds of magical powers, they will have nowhere to use them."
"Well, we will follow up on this matter and we must nail those bastards."
The leader nodded, but still added without giving up:
"After entering the game, I authorize you to contact the game manufacturer at all costs. This is your most important task."
Ren Yanyan slightly chinned her head, but she didn't care in her heart.
A being who can create such a great game as "Immortals" would not care about the demands of a group of mortals.
Maybe these players are just a good show that the people behind the scenes want to watch when they are bored.
Then they coordinated their respective duties.
After the player leaves, many affairs will come to a standstill.
Fortunately, spiritual energy has appeared, and players have brought a mature practice system. Xia Guo has also initially cultivated its own practice talents, and can still handle some work after they leave.
It's just that due to environmental restrictions, even if there are players to guide the practice and national resources to support it, the best batch of practice seeds today can only be used to refine Qi.
…
Countermeasures team canteen.
Xia Xiaofei and Ren Yanyan sat opposite each other, served him a bowl of black-bone chicken and wolfberry soup, and joked with a smile:
"You must have been busy lately. The dignified Foundation Establishment monk actually has dark circles under his eyes. Come, have a bowl of soup to replenish your energy."
Ren Yanyan rolled her eyes: "Yes, how can I be as leisurely as a idle man like you? I will die from drought or waterlogging."
"Then I have to be very emotional. You, a busy man, can take time out of your busy schedule to come see me. It's a great honor."
Xia Xiaofei replied with a playful smile.
Ren Yanyan was drinking the soup and was so amused by Xia Xiaofei's words that she almost spit out the soup.
"I'm going to die."
Ren Yanyan wiped her mouth angrily and said: "Tell me, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, you must have something to do when you come to me."
"What can I do? The game has been updated. Naturally, I want to organize it. Otherwise, where would I put my body?"
Xia Xiaofei didn't feel embarrassed at all.
After his soul left, his body became a weak point, and the officialdom was naturally the best shelter.
This is one of the reasons why he joined the player strategy team.
Ren Yanyan couldn't help but complain: "When I ask you to contribute on weekdays, you don't think about the organization. Now when something happens, you think about the organization. You use the organization as toilet paper, use it whenever you want."
Xia Xiaofei spoke righteously: "You can't slander me, I treat the organization as a family, and naturally a family doesn't have to live apart.
Moreover, I sit in charge of the countermeasures team every day and contribute to the stability and prosperity of the countermeasures team."
"Okay, the organization will make unified arrangements when the time comes, so you don't have to worry about not having a place."
Ren Yanyan is now three or four floors higher than Xia Xiaofei, and has a strong say in organizational news.
"No, I just want to find a place close to you. If we don't come back, if we live together and sleep together, we will die in the same hole."
Xia Xiaofei said the worst consequences in a joking tone.
They already knew that the success rate of the player's mission last time was only a little over 30%. If they were unlucky, they would really die.
And they have no means to resist the people behind the game.
Ren Yanyan was stunned when she heard this, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
She looked at Xia Xiaofei, and an impulse suddenly surged in her heart.
"If we can come back alive from this game together, I will marry you and you will marry me."
A smile appeared on Xia Xiaofei's face little by little, and his voice was rare and gentle.
"good."
Just as their hands were getting closer and closer, the communicator on Ren Yanyan's wrist suddenly vibrated.
Ren Yanyan frowned and opened the message.
Who could be so ignorant and interrupt my good business? You know how much courage she had just put in to get this sultry man to speak.
But the next moment, her expression changed.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Xiaofei's intuition told him that something big had happened.
"Just now, the player countermeasures team received news from all over the country, and the game invitation appeared again.
According to incomplete statistics, the number of new players who have received invitations may reach hundreds of thousands, and the number is still increasing."
Thanks to the fermentation of public opinion, people in Xia are vaguely aware of the existence of a mysterious game. Nowadays, those players who are making whatever changes come and go are all learned from this game.
Moreover, the official side is intentionally or unintentionally promoting the welfare and treatment of game players.
Therefore, as soon as they receive the invitation letter, many players take the initiative to expose themselves and contact the officials without looking for them. There are even some people who want to be second-rate dealers and openly sell their game rights online, hoping to sell their game rights at a good price.
"so much?!"
Xia Xiaofei looked shocked.
He estimated that at most he would make up for the gap of 100,000 players this time, but he didn't expect that not only did he fill it up, but he also exceeded the quota.
He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"There is only one day left before game time starts, and there is very little we can do."
"But we have to do it, right?"
Ren Yanyan stood up and said:
"Don't forget what you promised me just now. I'll leave first."
Looking at Ren Yanyan's fleeing figure, Xia Xiaofei shook his head and laughed:
"Weren't you very brave just now?"
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live?!"
On this day, a game invitation letter appeared in front of 968,436 people.
The total number of game players this time, including old players, is one million.
…
The familiar hatching valley, the familiar giant egg.
Xia Xiaofei broke out of his shell, and his peak golden elixir body and strength gave him a feeling of reality and illusion intertwined.
"Ding! Dear player Xia Xiaofei, welcome back."
"Ding! The "Fairy and Demon" game has been updated. Your level restriction has been lifted. You can continue to upgrade. The capped level is level 49."
"Ding! You have received this series of tasks "King of the Sea"."
"Mission content: Qingxiao Taoist master is so famous that he was named Qingxiao Marquis by the Empress of the Tang Dynasty and guarded Qingxiao.
However, the Qingxiao Taoist Master was very ambitious and was not satisfied with the title of Qingxiao Marquis. He wanted to open up another path for the Tang Dynasty and be crowned king with military merit.
And you have admired Taoist Master Qingxiao for a long time, and are determined to use your best efforts to help Taoist Master Qingxiao become the king."
"Ding! The first step of the "Kingship" mission is "Join the Qingxiao Legion"."
"Mission content: The Qingxiao Legion recruits and replenishes its troops every year. Please join the Qingxiao Legion within three years."
"Mission reward: Join the Qingxiao Legion and start the next mission."
"Mission punishment: Turn on level restrictions, you will not be able to continue to upgrade."
"Ding! The task has been sent and this service ends here.."
Xia Xiaofei was stunned on the spot and wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Hey, when did I say that I admired Master Qingxiao? I didn't!"
But the system naturally cannot hear his voice.
It took quite a while.
Xia Xiaofei had to accept the reality and comfort himself.
"Master Qingxiao Dao is the strongest monk in Qingxiao Dao. If I can join the Qingxiao Legion, it would be a good way out.
With my current cultivation level, it is difficult to obtain treasures and resources that can quickly improve my cultivation level in ordinary cities.
Instead of continuing to save money and wait in the city, it is better to go to the Qingxiao Legion and give it a try. Anyway, I am a player and will not die at all. Maybe I will have a chance to become the lackey of Qingxiao Taoist Master, and then I will fly.
Soaring to the sky.
It's just that this talent of immortality is a little hard to explain, but monks have all kinds of strange magical powers. As long as I don't die a few times, I should be able to deal with it.
Well, maybe I really admire Taoist Master Qingxiao in my heart, and I don’t know whether Taoist Master Qingxiao is a boy or a girl.”
Xia Xiaofei quickly convinced himself in one minute.
The game is the biggest, what can he do?
Fortunately, this time the mission was not sent out immediately after it was issued, so he waited with peace of mind.
Sure enough, about two minutes later, a flesh-and-blood dome not far from him cracked open, and Ren Yanyan walked out with a shudder.
I don't know if it was because of the confirmation of the relationship, but Xia Xiaofei always felt that Ren Yanyan was much more beautiful than before, and every aspect made him feel excited.
It’s okay if you don’t want this boy’s body!
A thought suddenly appeared in Xia Xiaofei's mind.
"Sure enough, you have been hiding it all this time, and you actually woke up before me."
As they die more times, players also gain experience. The higher their cultivation level and the higher their realm, the faster they can adapt to the resurrected body.
Ren Yanyan saw Xia Xiaofei, and as soon as her smile appeared, the system tasks were issued in one go.
"Series of missions "Sealing the King"?"
"You are like this too?" Ren Yanyan asked.
Xia Xiaofei nodded and said, "That's right. It seems that we will be colleagues again in the future."
"After it's teleported out, either you come to me, or I come to you."
Ren Yanyan was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly her heart moved and she shook her head in refusal.
"Okay... let's forget it. Emotions will affect our reason and judgment. I think we are in a good state now.
When we return to the real world, we will..."
Her face turned slightly red.
Xia Xiaofei couldn't understand the meaning, and his heart was in shock.
"According to what you said, I was impulsive just now."
"Made, I ate a mouthful of dog food just after I was resurrected. Xia Xiaofei, you must treat me to a treat when you get back. You unexpectedly captured Fairy Feiyan from our countermeasure team so quietly."
A carefree voice came, and he was also a colleague of their player strategy team. Because he was born in the same egg hatching valley and has an active personality, he usually has many contacts.
"Yes, I was so upset just now when I was hiding behind you. No, I don't know what Fairy Feiyan likes about you."
Another player jumped out.
Everyone's paper strength is only slightly different, so they wake up very close to each other.
Soon, all the more than 200 players in the Egg Hatching Valley woke up.
Among them, players No. 40 and 50 are all colleagues in the player strategy team, and they are the ones who occasionally see each other and say hello.
There are also a few intact eggs that are motionless, obviously their souls in the real world have died.
"It seems that players will not be replenished after failing a mission. It seems that the old players and new players are completely separated."
Xia Xiaofei thought in his mind.
Just as they were thinking, a suction force appeared, and a space vortex appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and all the players were pulled into it.
