The moment this series of announcements appeared, the World Channel exploded. New players were worshiping, old players who couldn't figure out what was going on, and a bunch of players who asked, 'Is it too late to join the Coke Mania Guild?'
emerge.
This is the first benefit Caramel got after getting the city-building stone!
Fame.
Let’s not talk about the structure of the major clubs in China. Let’s just talk about the Holy Spirit game. If most casual players were asked to rank the guilds in the Holy Spirit game.
Jumping Nuclear will undoubtedly be ranked first. Coke Mania, a wealthy family that is more like a travel company than a large guild, will probably be ranked around three to four, and the second place will be the Temple of the Abyss.
But now bubbles don't care about popularity at all, and there is also the issue of guild ranking.
The moment the city-building stone in his hand disappeared, Bubble directly summoned his mount, leading Mr. Yin and the presidents of three other guilds to rush back to his home guild.
Entering the guild gate, getting off the mount... Coke-crazy players also gathered around him.
"President Pig Head! Where did you build the city?"
McCafé was the first to run up to Bubbles. She didn't appear too excited...more of a curiosity.
This is the same as other players in Coke Mania, because the members of Coke Mania don't know what the benefits of building a city are?
Some of the construction content provided in the stronghold is enough for avid construction players, but the construction of the city is too complicated.
If it were a game dedicated to building cities, maybe some players would try it, or even be keen on it.
But the essence of Holy Spirit is still mmorpg. Building a city under this framework is far more difficult than fun.
Therefore, most players in Coke Mania are more curious than expecting that their guild leader has built a city, and some players are worried.
Most mmorpgs have a system like stronghold construction, but such a bold system of city building has never been seen in an mmorpg.
"Isn't it here?" Bubbles is now only concerned about where the building stone of his city has gone.
After he chose to build the city, the stones disappeared. At first, Bubbles thought that Coke Mania's stronghold would undergo an upgrade, with a lot of miraculous buildings popping up out of thin air.
But nothing... nothing!
"Here? President Zhutou, nothing has changed in the stronghold! Did you really choose the place to build the city in the stronghold?" McCaffeine was questioned by Bubbles and also entered a state of doubt.
She stayed in the stronghold from the time she left the bubble, and never left until the system announcement was released, but nothing changed at the stronghold!
"Wait... let me see."
Bubble calmed himself down and opened the panel of the Coke Frenzy Stronghold. This panel displayed the materials stored in the stronghold, as well as the construction scope of the stronghold.
Cola Mania's Stronghold Seed has been upgraded thirteen times, from the initial construction area of 120 square meters to 700 square meters. After the Stronghold Seed ate a city-building stone... the construction scope
Still...seven hundred square meters.
"What's going on... there aren't any new options!" Bubbles was confused. He looked at the stronghold construction interface carefully. No new options popped up. The only change was that the name of the stronghold changed from Coke Frenzy Stronghold.
, changed to Holy Spirit City.
The three words "Holy Spirit City" in the name tell Bubble... that his city-building stone really worked... and acted as a name change card.
"President, did you choose the wrong location to build the city?" A coke-crazy builder asked cautiously.
"There is only one option to upgrade the stronghold seed. How could you choose the wrong one? Is there... a bug?"
Bubbles was so anxious that cold sweat was about to break out on his forehead, and his brows were knitted together.
This city-building stone is not a matter for him alone. The opinions of the other three guilds are not that important to him. The key is Mr. Yin... Bubu is very concerned about the cooperation between him and Mr. Yin.
The most important thing is not to embarrass yourself in front of the silver boss and give him a chance to laugh at you!
So a long-lost pressure swept over the bubble.
This series of pressure made Bubbles want to open the official website and go find the official of the Holy Spirit... to reason about it.
But before Bubu could open the Holy Spirit's official website and go find the Holy Spirit to write a short essay of more than one million words, a figure in black robes and a hood instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the guild.
The figure walked to the door of the ancient tree, the stronghold of Coke fanaticism, and what caught everyone's attention was her ID and a line of logos under her ID.
"Lost Freya" Originally, Freya was attractive enough as an NPC with a tail suffix, but there was also a functional label "Related to the Construction of the Holy Spirit City" below her.
"Holy Spirits, thank you for finding this lost fragment of the godhead."
Freya pulled down the hood on her head and revealed her true appearance in front of the coke-crazy crowd.
This lost Freya is very familiar to the players on Brand Island, but also very unfamiliar.
The reason for the familiarity is that Freya has appeared in the CG in the game, the one where she was rescued by Queen Mei, and will also release a bunch of tasks on Brand Island to maintain the ecology of Brand Island.
.
The unfamiliar reason is that players are struggling...'Whose Freya is this?'
After the lost Freya appeared on Brand Island, this discussion has not stopped on the Holy Spirit Forum. Is anyone not panicking if their Freya is lost?
Now when the coke-mad people saw this Freya... appearing in the stronghold as a city construction consultant, everyone had an accurate guess in their minds.
It's very possible that it's... Dog Planner's Freya, or the official Freya prototype.
"Before you use this godhead fragment, I have something to say." Freya from Jiangqiao stood calmly in front of everyone.
But Bubbles is no longer calm!
"Is there a tutorial for beginners? Skip skip!"
Bubbles was so anxious now that he just wanted to understand what the city-building system was like. When Freya's dialog box popped up in front of him, his first reaction was to press the skip button.
But when he stretched out his hand to click the button to skip the conversation, Mr. Yin next to him stretched out his hand to hold Bubbles' arm, but the distance was too far, and Mr. Yin's hands and feet were a little clumsy and could not catch up.
On the contrary, Sprite, who noticed this, clenched her left hand. The moment the cold air overflowed from her hand, it froze Bubble's arm that was trying to click on the skip button.
"Sprite, what are you doing?" Bubu was a little confused when he saw the reminder popping up in front of him, 'You are attacked by the player Sprite, you can defend yourself within a limited time.'
This is not the first time Bubble has been pvp privately by Sprite, so he has long been used to it.
"President Bubble, we still have plenty of time. We can listen to her finish." Mr. Yin explained for Sprite first, and at the same time turned to the other presidents and the players who came to watch, "Aren't you all curious about how the city building system works?
What's the benefit of playing with me? Now listen to the narrative of this...lost Miss Freya."
Freya from Jiangqiao played the role of a guiding robot very well. In her hands appeared the dim city-building stone that Bubble had held before.
"Holy Spirit, what you found is a broken fragment of the godhead. Within the fragment is a city that has lost its vitality. Your duty is to bring new life to this city. If you want to bring this city to life, you need to make more
Divine beings inhabit it."
When Freya said this, the official entrustment of the Holy Spirit...the initial SR card that every player will be given when drawing cards, the God of the Lake came online at this time.
She timidly walked into the Coke Mania stronghold. This performance was arranged by Jiang Qiao. The God of Lakes had enough leverage to be controlled by Jiang Qiao. In addition, there seemed to be no harm in living with Jiang Qiao.
So under the gaze of everyone who was enthusiastic about Coca-Cola, the God of the Lake stood on tiptoes and touched the broken fragment of godhead in Freya's hand.
"The God of the Lake has become a resident of the City of the Holy Spirit."
"The population of Holy Spirit City is +10,000, the water resources are +5,000, the sacred lake can be built, the aromatic fountain can be built, and the God of Lakes will build a sacred fishing ground in the city in the near future..."
When these two prompts popped up in front of all the players in the Coke Mania Stronghold, the vast majority of players immediately understood how to play the city building system!
The core gameplay is actually the same as that of stronghold construction, which is equivalent to twice the expansion of the content of the stronghold system. It can also be said to be a super large DLC.
It's just that the NPCs who settle in Holy Spirit City...such as gods, can unlock the construction of special terrain for players, as well as increase the population and the generation of various resources.
If when building a stronghold, all players need to do is collect various mineral resources from mother crystal seeds, then building a city may involve collecting gods and divine creatures from all directions.
"It will cost more to repair the fragments of the Godhead than I thought." Mr. Yin looked at the published data of Holy Spirit City. The population was clearly marked, and it was a necessary indicator for city upgrading.
"Repair?" Bubbles listened a little puzzled. Logically speaking, shouldn't normal thinking be to upgrade the city level?
"No, it's nothing, Bubbles...ask Freya...if there are any other ways to recruit gods." Mr. Yin said.
The number of gods in the City of Gods on Kuroshio Island is still too small, and it will take a long time to convince the gods to settle in Holy Spirit City. Mr. Yin is wondering if there are some additional ways to obtain NPCs for gods.
Mr. Yin’s question is also included in the preset options for Freya’s dialogue. Bubbles don’t even need to think too much, just click on that preset option.
"Holy Spirit, this is the most critical part. The establishment of your city will officially announce your existence to millions of worlds. This will attract many living beings. They may come here out of admiration for your power, or they may come here.
He has hatred towards you. As the Lord of a city, Holy Spirit, are you willing to take this risk?" Freya asked.
"I'm willing... I'm willing!" Bubbles actually didn't quite hear what Freya was saying.
But he understood the key point, which was that the city would attract some new NPCs, just like the NPCs emerging from the talent recruitment market.
It's just that these NPCs come to the city to travel, some are neutral NPCs, and the other are hostile NPCs, specifically looking for trouble with the Holy Spirit.
No matter what kind of NPC they are, everyone is welcome in the bubble. Neutral bubbles can be considered for recruitment, and hostile ones can be killed directly as bosses.
For players, having a boss to kill... sometimes may be more satisfying than having a neutral character to recruit.
"The first Lord of the Holy Spirit City, please accept these three architectural drawings as gifts." After the cutscene of Freya's plot, she took out three legendary architectural drawings and gave them to Bubbles.
Bubbles shared the attributes in the current channel as soon as he got the drawing.
These three drawings are "City Hall", "Monument of the Gods", and "Star Map Hub".
There is nothing much to say about the city hall. It is the most important building in the city. In this building, people can be spent to...purchase land?
Well... the part that worries Bubble the most is that the city hall needs to be built within about three hundred meters of the ancient tree in the stronghold, which is equivalent to being built close to Freya's room.
From this point of view, even if the stronghold is upgraded to a city, Freyas are still the core of the core. After all, the stronghold... or what is buried under the ancient trees in the city is the city stone.
The Monument of the Gods is just a decorative building that can display the number and names of the gods currently stationed in the city.
The last and most important building is the star map hub! A key building used to connect various planes of the star map.
"Make it!" Bubbles took these three drawings and directly called on the players in his guild to start work without thinking.
Seeing the warm atmosphere, Mr. Yin didn't think of stopping it. Anyway, the building could be demolished and rebuilt in the end.
Building a house in the city building system is much simpler than building a stronghold. First of all, there are preset houses for players to choose from in the city building system. Players only need to collect enough materials, and they can just click and watch the buildings while lying down, just like in a real-time strategy game.
Just build it.
Of course, some boss players can also build it themselves. The three buildings in Coke Mania are bubbles for the construction bosses of each guild to build. There are no preset building types based on the system, but after completing the minimum requirements of the architectural drawings, they start
self-processing.
The construction of the city hall took some time, but the star map hub was completed quickly. The architectural style of this star map hub looks like a... arena style from the outside.
Mr. Yin could only comment like this. Xiao Yu was responsible for the construction of the Star Map Hub. Ever since the Battle of Kuroshio Island, Xiao Yu had entered the thinking of "When building something, you must first consider whether it can withstand beatings and whether it can withstand beatings!"
standard.
Everything built is based on the construction of defensive fortresses.
Since dangerous monsters may appear in the star map hub, Little Feather has directly created a small arena, and the various defense facilities are so perfect that it can be used as a small copy.
"How about...activating the teleportation beacon first?"
The coke-mad people and the presidents of the major guilds came to the center of the star map hub. In the center was a round table with dim stars projected on it. This round table was the core of the star map hub.
Send beacon.
"I come!"
Bubbles had been looking forward to this day for a long time! He put his hands on the side of the round table, and an option instantly appeared in front of Bubbles.
"Please select the current city event!
Option description: City events will determine the tendency of outsiders visiting your city. A first-level city can conduct three events at one time."
It was a new system again. I flicked the bubble and saw the three city events listed.
"1. Hunting for the Eternal Thorne (Legendary): Thorne is a wanted criminal on the star map. You have learned of Thorne's whereabouts and published this news. The star map wants to capture Thorne.
En’s bounty hunters will swarm your city. Requirements: The whereabouts of Eternal Thorn, two hundred divine power crystals or ten lord-level mother crystals.”
"2. The Mystery of the God-Eating God (Legendary): The creations of the God-Eating God are extremely sought-after treasures on the star map, but they are only limited to high-quality products. If you choose this event, you must use a large number of legendary weapons as bargaining chips to attract treasure hunters.
Those who come to your city. Requirements: legendary equipment x25, two hundred divine power crystals or ten lord-level mother crystals."
"3. None (ordinary level): It is impossible for any city to have accidents every day. Today is also an ordinary day, but for the life forms on the star map, ordinaryness has no appeal. Requirements: two hundred pieces
Divine power crystal or ten lord-level mother crystals."
"4. Climb the Peak! Fishing King Competition! (Rare Level): The God of Lakes lives in your city. The fishing ground run by the God of Lakes may attract some fishing enthusiasts on the star map. Requirements: Sacred Fishing Ground
, two hundred divine power crystals or ten lord-level mother crystals."
"5. A Card Fighting Competition with Strong Players (Rare Level): The entertainment in the Holy Spirit World is also extremely rare on the star map, and poker is one of them. Maybe you can attract a group of outsiders who like playing landlords or mahjong?
Requirements: Small game wooden table x10, two hundred divine power crystals or ten lord-level mother crystals."
"6. The fastest legend of Brand Island! Mount racing competition:..."
"7. No one can escape my aim! Shooting duel:..."
…
There are a lot of events in the event options. If these events are expanded in detail, there will be a lot of instructions, including how to hold this event.
Bubble can regard these events as an activity, and he will organize activities for those NPCs on the star map. What he has to do is to make these activities lively enough to attract many talents on the star map to settle in his city.
So the question is...which events should he choose first?
