The development team's new post immediately aroused public opinion among players as soon as it was posted on the forum. The main reason is that the promise in the post that no less than 2,000 new quotas will be distributed in the next half month is really too greedy.
Although old players all know that the speed at which gaming helmets are being distributed is now much faster than before. The distribution of hundreds or even thousands of quotas was an unimaginable amount of money during the closed beta period. However, the number of quotas is
The issue of issuance is now gradually experiencing an "inflationary" trend.
Such a small number of places is nothing compared to the growth rate of the number of greedy parties on the forum. It cannot satisfy the entertainment needs of the broad masses of people at all. It is undoubtedly a "bad civilization".
As a result, a rather strange trend has formed on the forum that makes people laugh or cry. Whenever someone from the Greedy Party opens a post angrily criticizing Alpha Company for engaging in "hunger marketing", it will immediately start a wave of criticism, and the feedback managed by Tris
Eight out of ten posts in the district that are currently refreshed every day are asking for helmets to spray the development team, another one is asking for capital injection, and the last one is trying to beat around the bush and get some inside information.
Alas, the ingredients of this gluttony party are getting more and more complicated.
However, this post barely alleviates the anxiety of those who know about Transia's "return to the arrow", because the head of the test team, a caring person in the player's mouth, is rumored to go to the development team every day for the welfare of the players.
The "legendary" Fa Ge, the evil programmer duel, has used his few remaining hair to make a guarantee!
Now that both hardware production lines have been put into production and started smoothly, the speed of decentralizing helmets will only get faster and faster. He even gave a decent plan. According to the description of the plan, by the end of this year in real time
At this time, the distribution volume of helmets can basically be guaranteed to be between 300-500 per month.
Fa Ge’s words still carry a lot of weight, coupled with Alpha Company’s sincerity in offering 2,000 places at a time, the noisy guys on the forum finally became quieter, and even the Transia Bistro APP began to change.
Fa gave the development team a rainbow fart, and then those guys were given the strange title of "hair guards."
Murphy, who was peeking at the screen obscenely, was almost lost in the voices singing praises, until a few minutes later, he received a private message on the forum, and Brother Zhongzhong initiated a temporary conversation request for him.
"?"
Murphy blinked and agreed to the conversation request. As a result, Brother Zhongzhong on the other side sent a concise and concise message:
"A list will be sent to your mailbox shortly. There are some 'problems' with the secondary background checks of those on the list. Please pay more attention when distributing helmets and try to avoid this precious material falling into the wrong hands.
in the hands of people.”
"?"
Murphy suddenly became excited, and then he asked cautiously in Fa Ge's unique cowardly tone:
"Isn't it right? Are there really enemy agents among our player base?"
"Hahaha, it's not as serious as you think. The main reason is that some of those guys are journalists and game industry practitioners who came in specifically to "undercover" to try to investigate the urban legends about "Real World".
There are not as many real enemy agents as you think."
Brother Zhongzhong immediately explained:
"Your company's marketing strategy already means that you do not intend to announce the operation of "Real World" to the public at this stage. So under the current situation, let some people with commercial purposes and peer competition mentality go to Tran.
Xia can only ask for trouble, right?"
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Murphy nodded, and then sent another message:
"So is the outsourced operation and maintenance team willing to provide our company with more out-of-game services? For example, conduct a detailed background check on potential users of the game currently registered on the Transia Bistro APP to help with testing in advance
How about weeding out ‘at-risk individuals’?”
"Already doing it."
Brother Zhongzhong replied:
"That third-party APP is currently operated by 'professionals' in the operation and maintenance team. Regular background checks have been carried out. Once any problems are discovered, we will communicate with your company in a timely manner.
But now that we have said this, as the person in charge of the operation and maintenance team, I want to strive for some "employee benefits" for my subordinates.
We want to send a 'support team' to enter the game. We need 300 places, including some old masters who have been rehired from various industries to the operation and maintenance team. According to our evaluation, after they join the player group and perform their respective duties
It can effectively help Transia establish a primary industrial system from its current situation.
The 300 people do not include military personnel, and this is only the first batch of professional supporters. If this cooperation model can be accepted by your company, we will arrange the second and third batch of supporters later."
"Yeah, okay."
Murphy was elated for a moment, this was exactly the development he wanted to see.
He thought for a while and replied:
"In fact, there is no need to specifically state that they are non-military personnel. Considering the internal and external troubles Transia is currently facing, it is also acceptable for external intervention to appropriately send some professionals in the military field to help Lord Murphy straighten out the affairs in the military field.
However, our company wants to ensure the gaming experience for the majority of players, so we cannot have too many people in this field.
If possible, choose some professionals in command, such as Lao Qin and members of the staff team who are currently shining brightly in the war. Their presence can make the game experience better for most players.
This is a development trend we are happy to see.
Therefore, I will submit the "employee benefits" of the operation and maintenance group to the strategy group, and I will give you a formal reply within three working days.
In addition, the test team noticed that the operation and maintenance team is conducting a physical lottery for "the game has been running smoothly for eight months" on the Transia Bistro APP, and has also customized quite good game peripherals for all current players. Although you have not planned this event in advance
It was not reported to the company, but the management saw your outstanding initiative.
Therefore, the strategy team decided to provide certain in-game subsidies to members of the operation and maintenance team. Please collect them at the Logistics Warehouse No. 3 of the Scarlet Castle Administration Office.
We need to communicate with the development team before holding similar events in the future, so that we can also link the events in the game."
"Okay, okay."
Brother Zhongzhong also looked happy.
He didn't expect that his unexpected plan to spend money would lead to such an unexpected gain, so he immediately answered:
"For subsequent offline activities, applications must be submitted in writing to the development team in advance. Do you have anything else to ask?"
"Emmmm, the response to this Spring Festival event has been mediocre, so the development team has decided to push it into the second stage in the near future."
Murphy said:
"At that time, there may be a large number of astral wolves near the Maginot Line of Defense. You can prepare in advance and treat it as sharing internal information. That's about all I can think of. Please contact us in time for follow-up work.
oh."
After saying that, Murphy sent a goodbye emoticon and then hung up the temporary call.
A few minutes later, he received a document in the forum's mailbox. When he opened it, he found that there were about thirty IDs listed in it, all of which belonged to "risk persons." Murphy compared the documents he was planning to send in a few days.
List of players who have issued helmets.
You don't know this, but you are shocked to see that there are seven people in the two lists that overlap.
I really almost got taken advantage of.
"Oh my, thanks to the clever calculation of the leader of this testing team, he established a versatile operation and maintenance team in advance, otherwise the enemy agents would not have penetrated in and destroyed the harmony and stability of the player group."
Murphy curled his lips, added those seven people to the permanent blacklist, and selected seven lucky ones from the subsequent greedy party list to join this helmet distribution sequence.
He glanced at the number of gnolls from the Creator faction on the character card. Hogg was making good progress in the Broken Tooth Clan. It was estimated that in a month or two, the number of places available there would exceed 3,000. Counting Transia's current
With the population growth, Murphy's promise to players to distribute 300-500 helmets every month can basically become a reality.
Woohoo, players are blessed now, they can finally live a happy life of working for vampire capitalists in another world for free.
Become a Saibo Palu and enjoy a life of natural disasters. Become a foreign hero and achieve unparalleled achievements.
Wonderful!

While Murphy was busy distributing helmets to the Greedy Party, the attack and defense in Filthy Swamp continued.
The first members of the Splitclaw clan have arrived at the swamp camp. According to Xu Gesen's previous deployment, they began to expand the scope of their exploration and more frequently competed with the players Hidden in the swamp, the old silver coins.
The casualties on both sides are increasing, but overall, the jackals are suffering more.
They have completely failed to exert their racial advantages in adaptable terrains such as swamps. Instead, they are constantly taught a lesson by players using the new scene of the Carnivore Forest. However, the jackals are better in numbers, especially in the new group with one hunter leading two.
In front of a huge team composed of ten jackal militiamen and fifty kobolds, a team of three or four players simply did not dare to launch an attack.
In addition to some brave old players who are skilled in art and are still trying to make a living on the sharp knife, the command center also has to gather scattered player teams to use in the face of new situations, which further compresses the flexible scheduling of the player camp.
.
But on the other hand, in the blessed land of Avalon, the nature believers headed by Natalie are at home like a fish in water.
Witch hunters, with the help of druids, launched attacks on gnolls throughout the swamp. They regarded them as fighting for their gods in the holy land, so their morale was frighteningly high.
In addition, the elves sent the remaining Holy Blades of Avalon to the Maginot Line. One-third of the more than 70 Holy Blades were given to players, and the rest were all sent to Avalon by Natalie.
The elite soldiers of the church have further increased the lethality of these swamp hunters, and their activity has reached the point where even Hugersen feels a headache.
Fighting with a group of nature believers in a war holy land blessed by the God of Nature, even the jackals with poor brains know that there is a high probability that they will not get anything cheap, but they have to continue to push forward despite such pressure
.
According to the current advancing speed, Xu Gesen and his army governors predict that it will take them about ten days to pass through this dangerous swamp. Even based on the most optimistic loss estimate during this process, when the Jackals arrive at the Maginot Line of Defense
, Xu Gesen will lose at least three elite vanguard regiments.
But the war has advanced to this point, and there is no shortcut at this time. We can only break through the death trap set by the Transians to enter the decisive battle.
This also made Xu Gesen have to lament the tenacity and cunning of the Transians under the leadership of Murphy. The country that had been ravaged by black disasters four times in its past history seemed to have been reborn after suffering the disasters and was full of desire.
Come to think of it, if the Bone-Gnawing King faced such an opponent a hundred years ago, even Lord Philip would have had a headache, right?
With such emotion, Xu Gesen left the camp. He rode his warg Deathclaw and planned to carry out an "after-dinner exercise". He chose a random direction and moved forward to use his own strength to clear even a little bit of his warriors.
obstacle.
This "randomly refreshed" camp leader caused disaster to several player teams that were caught off guard. Facing an enemy of Xu Gesen's level, even veteran players were unable to come up with an effective response to the sudden encounter.
Moreover, Xu Gesen is the God of Hunting and has the characteristic of being untraceable.
The players who died were still reporting their points excitedly, and when they were about to wave people over to attack the BOSS, Xu Gesen had already disappeared.
Just like a death ghost wandering in the swamp, after killing four teams of players in a row, the command headquarters immediately withdrew all players and NPCs active in that area, and then the location of Xu Gesen's appearance was sent to "
Transia official partner" there.
Half an hour later, Xugersen, who was holding the Clawsplitter warhammer, moved his neck. He had just completed a hunt and was holding a strange round seed in his hand.
In the mud behind it lay a wild thorn beast that had been shot and killed from the front. This thing is basically the most dangerous thing in the swamp ecology at present, but even the natural war beast could not stand in front of the God's Chosen One.
More than three minutes.
"This thing is a bit interesting."
Xu Gesen rode on the warg and played with the thorn beast seeds in his hand.
It thinks it can give this thing to the priests under its command to study. This thing is obviously not born naturally. It may be related to the knowledge given by God Avalon. And since this knowledge can be mastered by humans, then jackals can also learn it.
.
It was about to leave here and return to the camp, but the Deathclaw stopped in place just after running a few steps. Its four paws stepped on the muddy water and let out a low roar in a certain direction.
Xu Gesen had already noticed the sneaky guy there, but he just didn't bother to pay attention to it. Now that guy showed up on his own initiative, Xu Gesen became interested.
The Chosen One turned back and looked at the little gnoll who emerged from the swamp.
The latter was wearing a clan-style battle armor, carrying a battle flag with bloody claws on his back. Although he was small, he was dressed majestically. He was accompanied by a red seater who was so frightened by the death claws that he lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
Wolf.
"Powerful God's Chosen One, I am the local Jackal leader of Transia. My name is Nash."
Nash, the second chief of the Bloodclaw clan, carefully raised his paw and approached Xu Gesen. He said loudly with fear:
"My clan took in a remnant of your army during the battle, and from them, I learned that you and your army were about to attack Transia.
This made the local gnolls cheer for joy. We have been oppressed by Transian barbarians for a long time. They launched an inhumane hunt against us a few months ago, killing 70% of our compatriots. They also took away our holy land of Wolf Castle.
gone!
We once relied on the powerful men of the Plague Clan, but the vanguard of the Plague Clan was also killed by them from top to bottom.
As you can see, this swamp was originally our territory, but the Transians released a vicious curse on it, making it dangerous and terrifying.
The Bloodclaw clan alone cannot fight against the Transians!
But now that you are here, the local gnolls have a backbone!
Please follow me to Smuggler's Grove, powerful Chosen One, your soldiers are waiting for you there, and the local vengeful gnolls are also waiting for your leadership."
Nash said it sincerely.
It wasn't talking nonsense, basically everything it said was true, but Xu Gesen didn't comment on it. It allowed Nash to get close to it, and the little man stopped ten steps away with a wink.
He lay there with a prostrate posture, waiting for Xu Gesen's response.
The suffocating silence lasted for about ten seconds, and then Hugersen made a peculiar nasal sound and said:
"Where is Smuggler's Grove?"
"It's just to the northwest. Your Majesty, please follow me. It only takes less than twenty minutes to get there."
Nash felt happy, thinking that he had deceived this powerful chosen one, but the next second, Xu Gesen said coldly:
"I appeared here forty minutes ago. I killed the last group of undead heroes about twenty-five minutes ago. You appeared in my perception five minutes ago. The middle time was exactly twenty minutes, which was just enough for you to escape from the territory.
Get here.
You really didn't go astray at all, as if someone told you I was here.
So, have the Transians developed a means of quickly transmitting messages in a psychically disrupted environment?
Well, these guys really shouldn’t be underestimated.”
"Ah this!"
Nash was startled. When it knew it had been exposed, it immediately jumped up and turned around to run away. But in the next moment, the claw-splitting warhammer wrapped in lightning whizzed over and landed right in front of Nash, causing mud and water to splash and crack on the ground.
This thunderous strike caused Nash to stop immediately, his tail trembling in fear.
It raised its head tremblingly and looked at Xu Gesen walking towards it. It knew that it was going to be doomed today.
Ah, Master Hogg, your servant is about to die. It is really disappointing that we cannot see with our own eyes the bright future of the Gnolls that you promised.
But the imagined death never came.
On the contrary, Xu Gesen just reached out and grabbed his weapon. It moved its neck and said to Nash:
"Lead the way, I'll go to your place."
"Um?"
Nash was dumbfounded.
It didn't know what this guy wanted to do until Xu Gesen said the next sentence:
"By the way, call your new master Murphy here. I want to have a chat with him before the decisive battle begins."
