Of course, considering Ji Ye's personality …
In fact, he didn't really care about this "public opinion".
It was because no matter how loudly those people typed, they would still wet their pants in fear when they were faced with the weapons of aliens on the Land of Inheritance.
Also, no matter how fierce the public opinion on Earth was, it was impossible for it to affect the Twin Dragon Mount fort on the Land of Inheritance across dimensions. What Ji Ye really cared about was the "power" that could indirectly interfere with the Twin Dragon Mount fort!
"I hope that not too many people try to extend their hands to the Twin Dragon Mount fort … Otherwise, don't blame me for cutting off all their hands."
After a moment of silence, Ji Ye said with a cold expression.
When he said that, Ji Ye's tone and expression were both "domineering"!
Although the Battle of Xiangyang was only a projection of the Battlefield of Providence, Ji Ye's experience of commanding an army and deciding the fate of the Yuan emperor after he "possessed" the body of the Yuan emperor was real!
On Earth, some people could grow intimidating even if they only played emperors in movies. Naturally, Ji Ye had changed even more.
In particular, Ji Ye didn't reveal one thing to anybody.
As a matter of fact, after he possessed the Yuan emperor on the Battlefield of Providence, he suddenly had an idea to do something even bolder.
It meant that the body of the Yuan emperor, whose soul had been destroyed and was "masterless", had been "fused" with his own soul.
As a result …
Ji Ye felt that he would never do such a thing again unless it was absolutely necessary.
It was because the remaining memory pieces in the Yuan emperor's body were a great nuisance to him during the fusion.
For example, the boring private affairs between the Yuan emperor, who was as "extravagant" as recorded in the history books, and the three hundred concubines he had every day …
That was close. He had fused a human body this time. What if he had to fuse the body of a boar king that weighed five hundred kilograms next time? Those pictures …
Ji Ye couldn't help but shiver.
However, the next piece of information that popped up in his head made him solemn again.
["The third batch of people will enter the Land of Inheritance in a week. All species and civilizations, please be prepared to receive them!"]
The reason why he reminded them to be prepared was because
That was because there was more detailed information along with this message. All the additional "quotas" would be directly sent to the corresponding settlement.
It meant that the Twin Dragon Mount fort would have 900 more players in a week!
Of course, just like the second batch of players, the settlements that performed well would be rewarded and the settlements that performed poorly would be punished.
[Attention, the third batch of personnel will not arrive at a settlement that has not completed the Ten-Species Competition quest.]
Strictly speaking, this was not considered a punishment. After all, it was just that they could not summon the third batch of new players, not that they could not hold a ritual. The consequences were far less severe than the first settlement mission!
However, it was not hard to imagine that the settlements that failed to complete the Ten-Species Competition mission would be left far behind by the settlements that completed the mission.
In the current phase, the Elites among the players could play a role that was close to that of the Elites and even heroes among the natives. Even the non-Elite players could serve as cannon fodder in the battle against aliens!
Meanwhile, the stronghold that completed the quest would be able to receive at least 100 new players, which would give the stronghold a huge advantage.
However, there were too many newcomers.
There were benefits, but there were also troubles!
…
"Almost a thousand newcomers are going to be a lot of pressure!"
In the conference hall of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, a meeting that was exclusively attended by players had begun after the list of the third batch of players was announced.
"First of all, it's about 'housing'.
"Our current stronghold can only accommodate about eight hundred people, and that's already our limit. This time, we've added 900 people, which is far beyond our capacity … Even if we build houses day and night for seven days, it's impossible to build so many residences.
"Also, the fort has to be redesigned according to the plan. The current one has to be overthrown, not to mention building a new one."
Shang Ying, as the Deputy Director of Logistics of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, frowned.
"Also, don't forget that we still have hundreds of Souls of Civilization left because we didn't have offerings. Now that we have enough offerings on the Battlefield of Providence, after all the Souls of Civilization are summoned, the number of natives will reach almost a thousand, and the entire Twin Dragon Mount fort will have almost two thousand people!
"In such a case, it won't just be 'housing' that's not enough. There will be a shortage of food, too …
"Because, although we have defeated the other nine Outsiders, and the territory we occupy has expanded quite a bit. However, most of the monsters in these areas have been killed by the aliens in order to plunder resources. Right now, our main source of food is mainly relying on the Dragon Tooth Battalion to catch fish in the sea and transport them back through the Snapping Turtle Warship. "
"However, the transportation capacity is limited. Moreover, due to some over-hunting, the density of fish in the surrounding waters has already decreased! If the population reaches two thousand, the pressure on food will be huge … "
On the table in front of Shang Ying and Su Nongying, a silver map-like board was floating.
As Shang Ying spoke, a 3D image of the island where the Twin Dragon Mount fort was located appeared on the board.
In addition, she recorded the information she said in the form of words.
It was a logistical item that Su Nongying had exchanged with human beings that contained Transcendent power. It was named "3D Projector" and could be controlled with telepathic thoughts.
"I don't need to say much about clothes."
"Our settlement hasn't found any effective materials to make clothes. Although newcomers and natives will have a set of clothes on them when they descend, we can't find any. But they can't possibly not prepare a change of clothes, right? "
"Also, apart from the usual clothes. Even if only half of these new players choose to become combat players, they still need to consider the issue of equipment! "
"After all, in a situation where there are no monsters, we can't hope for them to fight monsters for equipment …"
Shang Ying continued as she looked at the participants with different expressions on their faces.
She was the only player in the Twin Dragon Mount fort who was qualified to enter the City of Humans but didn't. Instead, she chose to take care of the big picture and dealt with the affairs of the fort with Yan Qing in the past few days. Therefore, she had the most say.
"Why don't we postpone the 'sacrifice' for now and prioritize ensuring the players' resource supply?"
Mister Bug scratched his head and asked tentatively.
"No …"
It was Elder Meng who objected.
"Let me say something that is not very 'united'. If the ratio of players in a settlement is too high, it's very likely that there will be trouble! "
Although the NPCs weren't as knowledgeable as the players, they had one advantage, and that was that they listened to orders.
Whether it was combat or logistics.
They wouldn't even hesitate to charge at the enemy at a critical moment, because their life and death were related to the settlement's survival!
However, the players were different.
As modern people who believed in equality, they certainly wouldn't do whatever you asked them to do.
Some of the "idiotic players" didn't exist at all. Instead, the proportion of players who were filled with "ambition" wasn't small.
Before the Twin Dragon Mount fort, there had been players who snuck into the important areas such as the Mandrill Cave and the Scorpion Cave to pick the Red Pips and Stone Milk, cut the only Core Purple Wood in the Forest Monsters' settlement, or dug out the dragon bones in the Mirage Monsters' settlement.
There were even players who used stolen sniper rifles to kill the Steelback Blue Wolves that were being reared in captivity!
"Those resources don't belong to one or a few people but all the people on Earth. Everyone has a share!"
"You've killed all the monsters and made it impossible for us to get more. Now, you're even caging the monsters and stopping us from leveling up. You want us to be unable to surpass you, and you want to eat human blood …"
When they were caught by the soldiers, they refused to admit their mistakes.
They were even yelling and instigating other players.
Naturally, their instigation didn't work, because anyone with a sane mind would know which side to take!
However, that was on the premise that the players in the Twin Dragon Mount fort only took up one-fifth of the population, and the players who didn't have any power only took up half of the population.
Also, those players who were dissatisfied were mostly weak and even weaker than a common soldier. Even if they had ambitions, they could only bury them in their hearts.
However, almost a thousand people were about to arrive, which was even more than the total population of the Twin Dragon Mount fort. If there weren't enough natives to balance the population, some people's ambitions would inevitably be magnified.
"On the other hand, although the quest for the next phase hasn't been announced yet, it will still involve competition and battles with aliens.
"But come to think of it, the 'competition' and battles with aliens will still be involved. Compared with the new players who have never been to a battlefield at all, the natives with the background of 'Liangshan' or 'Yue Army', who are more familiar with battles, will be more useful!
Guo Wei, as Elder Jiao's assistant, also expressed his opinion.
"Well, regarding the food shortage, we've actually considered how to deal with it in case such a situation happens. In the City of Humans, we've already purchased the seeds of some Extraordinary plants that can grow quickly, such as the Bread Tree. By watering them with the Sweet Dew, we can further shorten their growth cycle …
"I think we can summon some of the Water Demons and let them hunt the bigger fish in the deeper parts of the ocean with the Dragon Tooth. The Water Demons are Extraordinary Rank-5, so they shouldn't be in any danger …
"Clothes aren't too difficult. There are a lot of vines in the Forest Monsters' settlement, which contain fibers similar to flax. Although they might be rough to wear after they are made into clothes, we shouldn't be too picky when it's a special occasion …
"Accommodation isn't too difficult either. Can't the sand in the Sandmen's settlement that the Eagle Men destroyed be able to quickly build fortifications when it's exposed to water? We can consider building some temporary residences in the Eagle Men's settlement at a lower altitude. We can settle them down first and let the new players build their own houses. We can also screen them in the process … "
Regarding Shang Ying's conundrum, the players in the conference room all proposed their own solutions.
Thanks to the resources they plundered from the alien races and the human beings in the alternate dimensions in the City of Humans, the problems that would've been a headache for a regular settlement had been solved.
Although the specific implementation would certainly run into new problems …
They still had seven days to prepare, didn't they?
However, just like in the previous meetings …
The final decision of the proposals actually depended on Ji Ye, the master of the fort!
"Elder Meng, is there anything else you'd like to add?"
However, this time, Ji Ye spoke to Elder Meng, who had proposed to limit the number of players.
"I'd like to add one more thing.
"It's actually not a bad thing that so many people have come to the Twin Dragon Mount.
"I think that any settlement will inevitably face such a situation when it develops to a certain level. We're only facing it in advance because of our excellent performance. However, as long as we deal with it well, we might be able to get bonus points!
"It's possible that the new round of tests will be how to deal with the 'internal conflicts' during the development of a civilization.
"As long as we do everything well from the beginning, we might be able to win the title of 'Best on Earth' again."
As a veteran in the education industry, Elder Meng was definitely good at ideological work. What he said made many people excited.
"Yes, Elder Meng is right.
"Anyway, let's try our best to make preparations in the next few days.
"As for clothes, houses, and other issues, they might not be very troublesome. I believe that after the third batch of people arrives, we won't be confined to one island forever!"
In the end, Ji Ye concluded the meeting.
"Right, Elder Meng, I heard that you've awakened a talent skill?"
When the meeting was over, Ji Ye thought of something and said to Elder Meng.
