After going offline, Xie Xiaomeng rushed into the living room in her pajamas. She didn't notice that there were outsiders there. Gudong Gudong drank a large glass of water, "Huh, I'm so thirsty, Mom..." Only then did he see a few people.
Relatives were there, and there was a half-year-old boy who turned his head to avoid looking at her.
She quickly covered her open collar, smiled awkwardly, and rushed back to the computer room.
"This dead girl!"
Aunt Xue smiled helplessly and said to the neighbors who came to visit in the middle of the night, "I'm still waiting for the notification. I will tell you if there is any news."
The relatives also knew that it was not appropriate to disturb others at this time, so they said a few polite words and stood up, "...it's all his father's fault. He listens to the wind and rains. As soon as he heard about the tourists, he made sure that I came over to ask... Then
That’s it, it’s settled, you can’t hide any news from us.”
"Definitely, definitely."
After seeing these two people off, Xie Xiaomeng came out and said, "What time is it? I don't have any eyesight at all."
"Do you still know what time it is?" Aunt Xue hit her angrily, "Xie Xiaomeng, you are getting more and more excessive. How long did you say you have been online, huh? If you go too far, you have to ask Teacher Wei to treat you, right?
?”
"Don't, don't, mom, this is a special situation. The last wave of bonuses from the national server expansion pack, let's make money."
"It wasn't a special situation for you that time? If this continues, you should go back to school. I can't control you, so let your teacher Wei do it."
"I know, there is no next time, there will never be a next time, Mom~~"
The neighbor who was holding his mother acted coquettishly before Caihu got over.
"I'm starving."
He rushed into the kitchen in a hurry, took out the still hot food and devoured it, "By the way, what were those people doing here just now?"
"It's not a matter of asking tourists."
"Oh, I guess... this is just a sign of trouble. Are you waiting for the tourists to draw lots?"
Aunt Xue did not comment and went back to the bedroom to pack her things.
After eating, Xie Xiaomeng burped and quietly went to Aunt Xue's room. Seeing her sitting on the bedside looking at something, she quietly walked over and poked her head in to take a look.
"Haha, I'm watching Pancake Xi Shi again!"
It is a basic picture album left by Aunt Xue when she was a tourist. It contains game screenshots from that time.
It was not as 'convenient' as it is now. The photos above were all taken by others and posted online. Aunt Xue stood behind a simple trolley with the tourist's identity code, without even a name, and her real appearance was different.
About seventy or eighty percent similar.
Younger, as young as Xie Xiaomeng now.
Aunt Xue was also very beautiful when she was young.
"Dead girl"
"Mom, you have never thought about finding someone else to live with? You are still so young and so beautiful."
"Nonsense, what do children know?"
"I'm not young anymore. I'm already 17 years old. Why don't I know?"
"You won't do it in school or in games...you can't fall in love early!"
"No, there's nothing worth seeing."
"Xiaomeng, you are still young, please don't imitate me."
"I know, I know, what about you, haven't you ever thought about finding someone else to live with? Don't worry about me, I agree with both hands and feet. Dad has been gone for so long, I have grown up, and so have you.
You should have your own life and pursue your own happiness."
"...Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course."
"Then that Uncle Wang, didn't you refuse to let people in at all costs?"
"I was still young at that time and didn't understand anything. I thought you didn't want me."
"As long as you have this desire, Mom will be satisfied. This kind of thing... depends on fate."
"Anyway, you know what I mean, you can figure it out yourself." Xie Xiaomeng suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at Aunt Xue's face, "No, Mom, you don't know how to date online, right?"
Aunt Xue's face immediately turned red. She didn't know whether it was because she was angry or because she was hit on the target. She grabbed Xie Xiaomeng's ears and twisted them. In the midst of her screams, she scolded her for not being big or small, and then pushed her
Pushed out.
"...With the end of the expansion pack of the War of National Servers and the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Normandy, the regional servers within the resistance camp have been systematically determined."
"Please take a look, this is the distribution of more than a hundred national servers. Almost all of them are concentrated in the south of the game area. The only exception is our national server, Dongfang, Fairy Forest."
"It covers an area of 120,000 square kilometers and is still being developed slowly."
"Professor Li, if tourists are reopened online, how many tourists can be accommodated in these 120,000 square kilometers?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on the carrying capacity of the server. In terms of the online land area, if it is squeezed a little, 1.4 billion can be accommodated."
"Haha, Professor Li is joking, National Online may not be available until after the public beta."
"Even if it's a public beta, it's impossible for everyone to be online..."
"Okay, let's talk about tourist status now... How many do you estimate there will be? This may be the topic that the audience in front of the TV is most concerned about."
"Definitely more than when we were on four sides."
“The question is how much more?”
"We have to ask Canaan Company about this."
"You are the 'policy advisor' of Canaan Company, why can't you tell the audience in front of the TV?"
"Haha, I am just a policy advisor, and I don't care... Okay, no joke, the re-introduction of tourist status is something that has been brewing since the beginning of the 6th beta. A real second world cannot be full of so-called players.
It is undeniable that 'playing' will still be its main theme, but in addition to the main theme, more supplements are needed. Where do these supplements come from? First, from a large number of realistic NPCs with extremely high degrees of freedom, and also from
It can be said that they are aborigines, and secondly, they are naturally ordinary people from offline."
"These people do not have 'play' as their main purpose, but live and experience life just like reality... This nature determines that the number of tourists far exceeds the number of players."
"More than players, right? Can we understand it this way?"
"Yes."
"This is really good news. Can the server handle it?"
"Visitors consume very little system resources, so there shouldn't be much of a problem."
"So, after this world conference, will the operating agents in various countries launch tourist status online?"
"It should be, as far as I know, this issue is one of the main topics of the conference."
"It just so happens that the national servers have been confirmed... Uh, wait a minute, there are big and small national servers. Does this matter about the tourist qualifications of each national server?"
"The larger the area of the national server, the higher the population limit it can accommodate... This should be easy to understand, right?"
Xie Xiaomeng turned off the TV and turned around to see that Aunt Xue had just closed the door.
She snickered and skipped upstairs to her room to rest.
The next day, there was still heated discussion online and offline about the end of the National Server War expansion pack. There are more than two million kilometers of game maps, and the public server plus the three major national servers only account for less than 20%. The rest are all taken away by the big players.
The big and small national servers are divided up. The largest is the Maozi national server, which covers 240,000 square kilometers. The smallest one is the Hardness national server, which is just a colorful spot on the map, which is extremely pitiful.
More than better than the worst, most operating agents are satisfied, because the poor ghost Hardness exists, and it is easy to explain both internally and externally, and Hardness still relies on the Chinese national server to avoid being the first
Even if we are extremely dissatisfied and unwilling to accept the fate of 'destroying the country', we have no choice but to accept it.
The newly minted Norman Grand Duchy is extremely vast, and the east and south directions that are the focus of development can accommodate a huge population. Naturally, it is necessary to replenish the urgently needed population as soon as possible.
In the Mage Tower, Bei Gaoyang finished a long, long meditation. His consciousness was like a bottomless pool, and it took a long time for some ripples to appear.
Lich Nicholas had been waiting outside the door for an unknown amount of time. At a certain moment, he suddenly received some mysterious feeling and immediately knew that the owner of the room was inviting him in.
A turmoil surged in his heart. With his knowledge and experience, he didn't know what the... revelation he had just received meant.
It is obviously a very ordinary door, but it is like an intangible reflection. It is obviously a reflection, but at this time it is solidified from the intangible mystery.
He knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
The door opened automatically, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about a simple quiet room.
The lich was extremely careful. After entering, he stood solemnly and said, "Sir, the contract has been signed."
"Which one was decided?" Bei Gaoyang asked.
"God of Light"
"Tirmos?" Bei Gaoyang smiled softly, "Yes, she is the strongest and has the hardest fist!"
The lich lowered his head and did not answer.
"So, I am now a believer of Tilmos?"
"This is the procedure."
"Haha, I didn't expect that I would still have this day... Where is the contract?"
The Lich quickly offered it with both hands.
The ancient parchment scrolls, the seals of the Twilight Conference, and the holy emblems of various churches are densely packed, and the endorsement of secular royal power can only be reduced to the corners at the end. The signatures of the Popes... On the back are the details of the contract.
Terms.
Bei Gaoyang glanced at the ten lines. After reading it, he casually signed his name on it and threw it aside.
——What he signed was not his real name.
No one asked him to sign with his real name. It seemed that everyone knew that it was impossible for him to sign with his real name, so he didn't mention it at all.
On the one hand, this shows that the other party is 'extraordinarily tolerant' to him, and on the other hand, it shows that this contract is not very binding, and both parties can tear it up at any time without paying much price.
But no matter what, in fact the Norman Grand Duchy has been established, at least in name, the Church of the Gods and the royal families of various countries have won the final victory.
Naturally, the coalition forces can disband and return home.
How to get along with the Norman Grand Duchy next is the top priority.
This contract also contains the so-called "free trade", "mutual recognition" and "unrestricted exchanges" clauses. That is to say, in the future, people from all human countries can come to the Grand Duchy of Normandy, and the 'citizens' of the Grand Duchy can also come to tens of thousands of people.
A civilized world without restrictions.
The map seemed to open at once, and it was the entire western continent.
In Bei Gaoyang's view, the most important content of this contract may be these few unimportant clauses.
——'Missing' through the magic net?
He sneered in his heart, said a few words to the lich as if nothing had happened, and sent him away.
The door behind him closed, as if the entrance to another world was closed to him, and his spiritual and even mystical connections were cut off. Nicholas felt a shudder.
——From now on, he has lost all sense of the person of the same level. He needs to re-understand the 'occult symbol' that he represents, but he can no longer find a way to do so.
Has he been promoted to the 9th ring?
Nicholas didn't answer.
Do the gods know?
On the road to legend, the last few steps of mortal things make up for the eyes of the gods. Not only the human gods, but also many gods who have fallen long ago. The collapse of the gods has been done for a long time. thing.
Restrict or cut off the path from mortal things to the divine to avoid the kind of revolution initiated by the bottom that occurred in ancient times.
The gods ascended to the altar with this kind of revolution, overthrowing the brutal rule of the innate demon gods. Then, they unanimously began to restrict the paths they had taken, for fear that those who would come after them would follow suit.
Ring 9 is already standing in front of this huge trench. There is an endless abyss ahead. It is so difficult to cross the past. Under normal circumstances, the gods will not allow it.
But maybe the person behind the door is different. Maybe the gods will be lenient?
Nicholas left the Mage Tower with such complicated thoughts.
The Mage Tower no longer had the coordinates of its location. He immediately appeared in the square of Buck City and saw many missions, npppc residents, etc. More players than them gathered in front of them, and they were conducting massive interactions at the same time. .
Behind the system, he relies on this interaction to mix his own will into it, like an invisible hand fiddling with countless threads, and everything seems to be involved at the other end of the thread.
The induction magic net is like a canopy, like the air everywhere, more like the magic that has been tamed by it... it is everywhere.
The magic net contains immeasurable energy, just like a vast sea flowing in the sky, around you, on the earth, in the air, and in magic. This sea has a sole will to dominate it. He is like a Behemoth beast, hidden in the deep sea water. , every time he opens his eyes, everything that happens in the sea is invisible, and everything contained in the sea is under his control.
Is this still a mortal thing?
Perhaps, whether the 8th ring or the 9th ring has long been meaningless to him, surpassing this pyramid, or even how to cross the natural chasm, is what he is considering now.
——Maybe I should connect to the Magic Network?
Nicholas had this idea more than once.
Only by connecting to the magic network can he integrate into this system and make him feel completely at ease with himself.
But this also means that Nicholas has lost the ability to fight against him from now on, and everything he owns, even his consciousness and soul, will no longer be any secret to him.
As a great mage and a spell caster, Nicholas resisted instinctively, but his reason told him that this was a giant ship that had already set sail, and now might be the last chance to board it and sail to that magnificent shore.
How to choose?
The lich was confused. This chapter has been completed!
