Build a game empire from scratch

If you're in the age of a gold rush, what's the best way to make money?

Go panning for gold?

of course not!

Selling shovels and trousers to these gold diggers is the easiest way to make money.

Even if this "gold rush" takes place in the virtual world, the biggest piece of cake will inevitably be eaten by the producer of [Mirage]——Yunmeng, and they, as distributors, can also eat their fill.

Channel dealers began to contact Yunmeng one after another, sending emails, making phone calls, and even sending people directly to Daxia...

As long as it is a matter of making money, they are more active than each other.

However, due to the time difference, Lin You didn't notice the excitement until the next day.

As for now, after seeing off the little princess and confirming that she has arrived home, Lin You went to rest.

——If Jian Xingde knew about his behavior of "confirming safety", he would have to think about it for several days...

While he was resting, the "virtual gold rush" was unfazed and was rapidly sweeping the world.

The fanaticism of overseas netizens is even more exaggerated than that of Daxia netizens.

Keywords such as [Wish], [Pandora], [Lin Baxiang], and [Virtual Treasure] are all over the Internet in various countries.

Many countries and regions became frenzied even in the early hours of the morning. They first cleared the inventory of [Mirage] on the Internet, and then went to physical stores to queue up to grab the last inventory.

——Some people are looking for treasures for themselves, while others are selling them to others at a higher price...

At the same time, the number of users pouring into Pandora is increasing.

And the number of players who choose [Challenge Mode] is also amazing!

Even for casual players who are accustomed to light games, when faced with the choice of [journey mode] and [challenge mode], most of them choose [challenge mode].

Many even don’t play games at all, and buy devices just for virtual meetings, for remote meetings, for online married life, for taking children to play in playgrounds... etc. Ultra-light users were also provoked to go to Pandora, And the starting hand is [Challenge Mode]!

After all, who wouldn't want to give it a try?

Everyone knows that lottery tickets are hard to win, but when did fewer people buy lottery tickets?

This is true for old users, but it is even more so for new users who have just entered the pit because of [wish], bought a mirage in the mood of "treasure hunting", and rushed into Pandora with a whiteboard.

[Pandora] is generally fair. When the beast comes up, it doesn't care whether you are a new player or an old player, and all of them are treated equally.

But the difference is: old players have far more coping methods than new players.

Ivan Ivanov, a hunting maniac, immediately put down what he was doing and went straight to Pandora after confirming the nature of Pandora's "Survival in the Wild".

Then he didn't go far, and came across a large white tombstone.

——These tombstones are almost all left by players who were gnawed to death by poisonous wolves.

Ivan immediately realized that he had broken into the hunting range of some kind of wild beast.

So, when the three poisonous wolves emerged from the group of tombstones, Ivan was also ready——

He put on a hideous and terrifying metal helmet. Behind the helmet, the dense tubular wig danced without wind, like a living thing!

That is the special effect item brought to him by the achievement [Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind]——

[Iron Blood Face]!

The effect is immediate.

The three poisonous wolves who were extremely ferocious and about to pounce on them immediately became hesitant and cowering.

With an iron ax in one hand and a silver ax in the other, Ivan strode forward like a murderer!

"Aw~~~" The three poisonous wolves howled and demonstrated in protest.

Not only was Ivan not afraid, he was a little excited and even ran!

The three poisonous wolves froze for a moment, turned around and ran away.

"Ah?" Now Ivan was confused, "Don't run away! You three against one!"

Ivan ran after him.

But with a pile of tombstones blocking the way, how could he catch up with the four-legged poisonous wolf?

In the end, he could only regretfully watch the prey slip away before his eyes.

Seeing this scene, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room, which was still a little nervous, immediately became joyful:

"Rookie killer? That's it?!"

"Don't run away! Come and eat me!"

"Dinner Escape Incident!"

"Pandora's wild animals are very wild, but they seem to be worse than Maozi!"

...

Ivan was very disappointed, and even took the initiative to take off the [Iron Blood Mask] and hung it on his waist, and then continued to explore the surrounding environment, looking for new prey.

This brand new alien planet hunting ground may be cruel to others, but to him, it is simply paradise!

There are quite a few players who have similar ideas to Ivan——

Millions of old hunters resident in "Hunter: Call of the Wild" followed closely and went to Pandora one after another!

And these old hunters who accompanied their hounds every day soon discovered one thing:

The [Hound Dog] that was rewarded by the Wanted Predator quest can be brought into Pandora!

Although it will immediately cause local creatures to attack after it is brought in, but as long as it can be blocked, it will be a good helper.

There is no need to think about how useful a hound with a keen sense of smell and a brave personality can play!

After filling her stomach, Xia Yi carried a pack of dry food and water on her back, with an ax hanging around her waist and hooked claws. She touched Kang Na's little head and was about to log in to Pandora for the second round.

But after the light passed, Xia Yi was stunned:

The backpack is still there, but the dry food and water in it are gone, and the hook and claw are gone from the waist, only an ax is left.

But—Konna was still standing in front of her!

"Kana, why are you here?"

Kang Na felt a little guilty, she turned her head sideways and didn't dare to look into Xia Yi's eyes: "Kang Na wants to play with my sister."

"??" Xia Yi blinked, "So you followed? It's that simple?"

Kang Na wagged her little tail and looked around curiously.

Xia Yi dragged Kang Na out of the cave, allowing her to appreciate the magnificent beauty of Pandora, and at the same time she slowly accepted it.

Then she thought of an important thing:

"Kang Na, can you still become a dragon?"

If Kang Na could change back to her original form, wouldn't she be able to roam Pandora? !

Kang Na thought for a while, clenched her hands into small fists in front of her chest, pursed her lips and started exerting force——

"Hmm~~~~"

With the force, the little tail behind her also began to crackle and emit electric light.

In the lightning, the originally slender tail suddenly swelled up and turned into a thick, short, and furry chubby dragon tail!

"Oh!!" Xia Yi was overwhelmed with surprise, and immediately felt a little itchy, wanting to touch it.

But thinking of Kang Na's body shape after becoming a dragon queen, she took a few steps back rationally.

But Kang Na didn't continue to transform.

After the tail turned into the tail of a little chubby dragon, she exhausted all her strength, drooping her hands and bending down feebly.

"Kang Na is so tired, I can't change back."

"Well, I'm not too surprised." Xia Yi nodded, stepped forward and hugged the little humanoid fat dragon.

——If Lin You left such an outrageous cheat, why not call her directly and ask her what wishes she has!

"You still have to do it yourself."

"But before that..."

Xia Yi stretched out her evil right hand, and rua happily on Kang Na's soft, fluffy big tail!

After Super Tomato's Pteranodon monster, Hunter's Hound, and Xia Yi's Connor successfully arrived in Pandora, everyone realized one thing——

Linyou allows everyone to bring a "virtual partner" to visit Pandora together.

So more attempts were made:

Lin You's "Number One Blackie" Tang Mingyue stopped interacting with netizens - after holding back for so long, he finally had the opportunity to share a photo with Lin You and Princess Zhu Cixia. Naturally, he was ruthless There was a moment in the limelight.

Looking all over the Internet now, apart from the group photo published by Lin You and Princess Zhu Cixia, it is almost impossible to find another photo of them together.

If you have to look for it, it is also the ancient content of Lin You's "drunk and furious net dragon video screenshot".

So the popularity of Tang Mingyue's photo is astonishingly high!

It wasn't until the news of the "virtual partner" spread that he stopped chatting with netizens and invited Mo Niang, a young lady who was a mechanism artist, to play with him on an alien planet.

His attempt was also successful.

Then there are players who have cat girls, and they take cat girls to Pandora.

Tao Mengbai is also one of them. After so long of hard work, he finally washed his [merit value], successfully found all the cats in Chang'an City, and got his own cat lady.

Hong Chen, on the other hand, was still trying to catch the cat.

His [merit value] is really too low, and he has been ruthlessly cheated by others. It takes more effort to clear his name...

But the bad thing is that in the player community, there are more and more posts complaining about the difficulty of catching cats, which seems to be a common phenomenon.

After some discussion, everyone came to a very bad conclusion:

This cat girl...

Too bad it's limited!

So now Hongchen tries to catch cats whenever he has time, and if he can't catch them, he goes to temples to worship Buddha, knock on wooden fish, and ring bells.

——Of course, the temple of the virtual world.

In the public map of Chang'an City, there are many temples.

And it's outrageous: this kind of virtual temple without any real eminent monks has a lot of users who come to worship!

There are indeed players who watch the fun and wash their merits, but they are not in the majority.

——There are really a lot of virtual users, and they kowtow and worship Buddha here with a pious face.

When Lin You saw the data for the first time, he thought that all the people who came were middle-aged and elderly uncles and aunts who played cards in Night City.

But when I pulled the detailed data, I was surprised to see that the age of Beverly users ranged from 18 to 88 years old! There are all age groups, and there are many!

This matter was also published in an issue of "Metropolis News Chang'an Special", which aroused considerable social repercussions.

After that, the number of players who came to pray to Buddha not only did not decrease, but even more.

As for whether it has any effect?

……Hard to say.

It's hard to say whether it can really purify merit...

Anyway, Yunmeng has never responded, everyone can only testify freely...

Hong Chen even thought about whether he should go directly to Yunmeng headquarters and appeal on the spot.

——I heard that the door-to-door effect is the best. I wonder if I can ask them to show me the way?

It's been more than a month!

Forget about other troubles, the cat girl can't live without it!

——As for the dog-type Zhengtai, the mission line designed by Ye Xiaohe is too hidden and cumbersome, and no one has discovered it until now.

In addition, when it comes to dogs, the stupid dog milkshake in "John Wick" was also taken to Pandora.

But it is different from a hound, it is just a stupid dog that eats and drinks, and even wants the owner to carry it away...

But there are still many players with it.

At least it smelled the beast, and it would bark a few times.

*

Super Tomato finally waved the [Daming Yongle Sword] in his hand, relying on the experience accumulated in countless battles in the virtual world, and successfully chopped down three poisonous wolves at the cost of being gnawed on his thigh.

——The sharpness of [Daming Yongle Sword] is beyond his imagination, even with his current physical fitness, he can cut through the strong bones of a poisonous wolf with one sword!

But at the same time, the damage caused by the poisonous wolf was also beyond his imagination.

Not to mention the pain, this has long been psychologically expected.

But after the battle, the wound didn't heal quickly!

"Could it be that I still have to look for bandages and medicinal materials in Pandora to treat my wounds?" Super Tomato was shocked.

"The question is, how to find it? Have you tasted the grass one by one?"

While looking for monster No. 1 with a limp, he complained to the audience in the live broadcast room.

But he has been fighting for a while, and the monster No. 1 has long since disappeared.

After walking around, I somehow came to the lake again. Super Tomato sighed, "Forget its fate, I will make another No. 2 later."

After he finished speaking, he quit Pandora, intending to replace it with a mechanism doll.

Although Mo Niang's combat power basically relies on mechanical weapons, and she can't use it in Pandora, but she can carpentry!

Building a house shouldn't be difficult.

Super Tomato quickly entered Chang'an, and invited Mo Niang to his virtual house—he had no special XP for mechanism dolls, and he didn't invite her home.

This step went smoothly.

But when Super Tomato tried to bring Mo Niang into Pandora, it encountered a problem——

[You can only bring one virtual partner to Pandora at the same time. ]

"???" Super Tomato was stunned, "What do you mean? Monster No. 1 is still alive?"

Obviously yes.

"But it was caught, and I don't know where it was caught? How does this work? I have to find it??"

Super Tomato was completely speechless.

After sending Mo Niang away again, putting the [Daming Yongle Sword] away, and after searching and browsing some existing information, he picked up the ax and logged in to Pandora again.

——The anchor still needs to control his personal image, not to mention that he has no special preference for mechanism dolls, even if he has, he dare not keep them in a virtual house.

It will fall powder!

This is also a human problem.

In this regard, Super Tomato is a little envious of A Yi - he has no such problem at all, and he can raise it casually.

And the coincidence is: when Super Tomato logged into Pandora again, I saw A Yi and the mechanism doll who were busy by the lake.

A Yi was chopping the tree, and the mechanism puppet was using another ax to trim the wood into a neat log.

Beside them, there is also a very simple temporary shelter, which looks like it was made by A Yi.

Obviously, after he found this place, he felt that the lakeside was a good place, so he directly built a shelter as a save point, then went home and brought in the carpenter lady, and now the wooden house has started to be built.

"Ayi?"

"Tomato?" A Yi was stunned for a moment, "You were born here? What kind of shit luck!"

"Are you planning to settle down?"

"That's what I planned, but now, I'd better stay away."

——According to their experience, if the save point outside is destroyed, then [birth point] will become the new save point.

"That's okay, I don't mind." Super Tomato said quickly.

"No, I don't mind." A Yi shook his head immediately, "I need some privacy."

"?" A question mark appeared on Super Tomato's head, "What privacy do you need in the game?"

"Isn't this nonsense? We need two people to live together!" A Yi said as a matter of course.

"???" The number of question marks on Super Tomato's head tripled, "Can this be said publicly?"

"Why not?" Ayi asked back.

Super Tomatoes were rocked.

A Yi took Mo Niang away for 20 meters on his own, and after tidying up the wood, he began to drill holes in the dead wood he picked up.

"You... what are you doing now?" Super Tomato followed.

"Drilling wood to make fire."

Super Tomato looked at A Yi's previous shelter, where there was a poisonous wolf that A Yi had hunted.

"Are you going to make a barbecue?"

"No." Ayi shook his head.

"Then what are you?" Super Tomato was puzzled.

"Shaking people."

"ah?"

Ayi raised his head and motioned Super Tomato to look at the large lake beside him, "Such a large lake can be considered a landmark in the forest, with water and fish, don't you think it is very suitable for building a settlement?"

"So..." Super Tomato followed A Yi's train of thought, "Are you going to use smoke pillars to attract players around you to build a player village from scratch?"

"That's right!" Ayi nodded and continued drilling with great interest.

"How does it feel... You played so smoothly!" Super Tomato sighed.

A few minutes later, Ah Yi managed to ignite the small flame. Before the smoke column could rise, Giselle walked out of the forest and came to the lake.

And when Ah Yi raised a column of smoke, lit another fire, and started to roast the wolf meat, there were already a dozen or so people gathered by the lake.

After the smell of barbecue also wafted out, the little fat dragon Kangna walked out of the forest holding Xia Yi's hand.

Ah Yi is very grateful for this: Without any cooking methods, the barbecue is actually very good in both appearance and taste!

This is obviously Lin You's little sympathy for the players.

He generously handed Kang Na a piece of grilled meat, but just as he stretched out his hand, he quickly took it back—he just remembered that he hadn't tried whether this thing was poisonous.

But he was slow.

Kang Na has a small body, but she can open her mouth wide, swallowing a whole piece of barbecue in one bite.

"Wait! Spit! Spit! Spit it out!" Ah Yi was anxious.

If the player eats it, it's fine, but if he is eaten by Kang Na, if something goes wrong, he will be in big trouble!

If Xia Yi doesn't tear him up, netizens will spray him to death!

But Kangna took care of her mouth, ah woohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A Yi is determined to give her a Heimlich!

But before he could do anything, Kang Na ate the barbecue.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yi was puzzled.

"Um...it's okay." A Yi shook his head, "I have intermittent mental illness, and I suddenly fell ill just now."

"?" Xia Yi looked at him, as if she was looking at a psychosis.

She collected some wood, borrowed fire from A Yi, and started making barbecue.

——They walked all the way, because she was physically weak, and it was Kang Na who dragged the poisonous wolf all the way with a small hand.

Xia Yi thought that making some barbecue for Kang Na would replenish her energy.

...

...

In the endless emerald green forest, a column of smoke rose higher and higher.

There are also more and more players by the lake.

Everyone gathered around the lake, some borrowed the fire to barbecue, and some were busy cutting down trees to build houses—even the simplest shelters would do, let’s fix the save point first.

A Yi looked at Kang Na for a while, and after making sure that nothing happened, he began to eat barbecue with peace of mind.

He even shared the grilled meat with the players who had just followed the smoke column. He was generous and enthusiastic, and won unanimous praise from everyone.

A few overseas players were also happy to add him as friends—hubian still has the most players in Daxia, but players from overseas countries also accounted for about 30%.

However, with Yunmeng's invincible real-time translation, there is no obstacle to everyone's communication.

Ayi was also very good and agreed to everything he said.

After a while, even a lot of people gathered, and everyone gathered together, grilled meat, grilled fish, exchanged wild fruits, communicated with each other, exchanged information, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly.

until 10 minutes later.

When Kang Na was eating grilled fish as if nothing had happened, Xia Yi beside her suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.

Then, A Yi, who was in the center of the crowd, also fell down with a thud.

Then, like toppling dominoes, the lively crowd suddenly fell one by one.

Their eyes were round, their mouths were foaming, their bodies were twitching, and they couldn't say a word.

And Kang Na was chewing the grilled fish, looking around the fallen crowd for no reason, a big question mark slowly appeared on the pink purple head——

"What happen to you guys?"

5600!
