Celestial Empire, Imperial Capital, University City.
Li Mu sat in front of his laptop and looked at the foul discussion area on the official forum of Elven Nation. He shook his head gently.
Just yesterday, the Great Sage War that had lasted for more than a month finally ended.
However, the outcome of this Great Sage War was quite unexpected.
There was no game background, no cutscene animation, and the players had won in a muddle-headed manner before they could figure out the situation …
This poor gaming experience instantly ignited the anger of the players.
It was important to note that the game officials of Elven Nation had done a lot of foreshadowing for this plot in the early stages. All kinds of plot CGs were released one after another, and the high level of participation had already raised the players' expectations for the final victory to an unprecedented level.
However, the players who thought that they would be the saviors who turned the tide discovered that they were just tools for the plot in the final battle …
That was fine. After all, in many online games, the players were all tools when it came to the crucial plot, and the decisive factor was often the important NPCs.
But the problem was, shouldn't you at least give an NPC battle CG?
Muddle-Headed victory, muddle-headed end, what's going on with no game CG?
Also, where did the World Tree in the City of Heaven's Chosen go?
How did the goddess' body disappear in the middle of the battle?
With all kinds of doubts gathered together, coupled with the uncomfortable gaming experience, it would be strange if the players didn't explode.
Thus … Elven Nation was completely drowned in spittle.
The official forum, Tieba, Weibo, Baihu … All the places where the netizens frequented had all turned into crusading posts for Elven Nation. All kinds of profanities came one after another, and the greetings to the planning and operations had already reached eighteen generations of ancestors. All kinds of quitting voices were increasing …
"I'm tired, I'm tired. This trashy game is a waste of emotions. I've been looking forward to the final battle for a long time, and this is it?!"
"Where's the goddess? Where's my goddess? How did the goddess disappear in the middle of the battle? "
"I'm dying of laughter. It's okay that the faction leader disappeared …"
"Let's plan first!"
"Trashy game, a waste of time. Pay up and quit!"
"I'm quitting, I'm quitting. I'm not playing this time no matter what. This game hurts my liver too much!"
"…"
All kinds of angry posts flooded the Bluestar network. Li Mu sighed deeply as he looked at the angry comments section of the "Elven Nation" forum.
To be honest, as one of the earliest players to fall into the pit, his feelings and efforts for Elven Nation were definitely at the forefront even among the players in the entire server.
The Great Holy War in "Elven Nation" had come to an end. Even though he had always been tolerant, he was still in a bad mood. He even planned to make a video to complain about it.
However, displeasure was displeasure, anger was anger.
When he saw the game that he loved and was disappointed in being condemned by the entire internet, he felt an inexplicable sadness, or rather … disappointment at the game for not living up to his expectations.
"The higher you climb, the easier it is for you to fall when something goes wrong …"
"With such a huge commotion this time, I'm afraid that other than the speed at which the trash on the official website of 'Elven Nation' was disposed, there are also other game companies adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes …"
Li Mu said with a sigh.
However, just as he refreshed the website and was about to upload the video he had just made to the video network, a system prompt suddenly sounded in the chat group.
It was the most active offline chat group for "Elven Nation" that he had joined. The members of the group were almost all gamers who had participated in many offline activities. There were many big names.
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat. He clicked on the chat group and saw none other than "Elven Nation" —
Demacia: "Brothers! The official website of 'Elven Nation' has issued an apology! "
Optimist: "Apology announcement? Are you trying to shift the blame to the temp workers again? "
Chopin: "Hey … Elven Nation's traditional skills."
Shaman: "I'm not playing anymore, it's not over. It's time to quit and study hard. Otherwise, I won't be able to graduate."
…
New messages flashed through the chat interface one after another. Everyone was still full of resentment.
Until Demacia's next message appeared:
"What the f * ck?! 50% discount in the limited time shop? There's also a month of free game membership and online subsidies? "
"…"
"What the f * ck?"
"What?!"
"Where's the link?"
The next reply was filled with a series of exclamation marks …
50% discount?
Li Mu was stunned.
Then, his eyes lit up.
This … If it was true, it was definitely a big deal.
One had to know that there were a lot of gold legendary level equipment in the "Elven Nation" shop. Even Li Mu felt his liver ache when he saw many of them …
If it was a 50% discount …
Hiss …
He took a deep breath and then excitedly clicked on the link that Demacia sent to the group —
[Dear Chosen Ones,
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. During the Great Crusade event on March 3rd, due to the mistake of the temp workers, a sudden program malfunction caused an abnormality in the game. The developers have identified the cause of the malfunction and conducted an emergency repair. They have also fired the relevant personnel.
Here, we sincerely apologize to every Chosen One. Due to the game's abnormality, which will have a huge impact on the game's normal environment and server ecology, in order to continue to provide a stable game growth and interactive experience, the game will be under continuous maintenance from 21: 00 on March 4th to 8: 00 on March 5th for data correction processing (the maintenance time may be extended based on the actual situation).
"Elven Nation" is Bluestar's first large-scale virtual online game that focuses on historical immersion and participation. After the update, this abnormality will be explained with a reasonable game plot and will not be reset. We hope all the Chosen Ones will understand.
At the same time, the new game expansion "Elven Nation: World Tree" will enter the countdown. Higher levels and more expansive maps will be available to all the Chosen Ones in the near future. At that time, the "Elven Nation" server will be officially opened to players all over the world. We welcome new and old players to join.
Once again, we sincerely apologize to all of you. We know that every Chosen One has poured their heart and soul into the Continent of Segers. We also sincerely thank everyone for their support and love for "Elven Nation". We will do a thorough self-examination to improve the stability of the program and continue to optimize the game experience of the Chosen Ones.
We have formulated the following compensation plan to express our apologies for the inconvenience, inconvenience, and loss caused to the Chosen Ones by the data abnormality. The compensation will be sent to the in-game mailbox after the maintenance ends.
Compensation related to data recovery:
After the server is repaired, all the Chosen Ones will receive one month of free gaming experience (Bluestar time, same below). Within 30 days, they will receive one daily lottery ticket in the shop as online subsidy.
All players will receive 30,000 binding contribution points through the mail as compensation. Within three days, they will receive a 50% discount in the shop as well as a BUFF of double experience and double contribution points.
At the same time, players who have changed their profession during the compensation period will have a free chance to change their profession again.
Other than that, we will also give out additional compensation items according to the level of the Chosen Ones. The compensation items include Divine Artifact Repair Points Scrolls, Special Prize Lottery Tickets, Resurrection Coins, and so on.
The details are as follows:
Black-Iron players, from low to high level, would receive Divine Artifact Restoration Points Scrolls worth 3000-20,000 Contribution Points, 3 Special Prize Pool Lottery Tickets, and 100 Resurrection Coins.
Silver-tier players, according to their level from low to high, would receive Divine Artifact Restoration Points Scrolls worth 30000 to 50000 Contribution Points, 5 Special Prize Lottery Tickets, and 300 Resurrection Coins.
Gold Level players, from low to high, will receive Divine Artifact Repair Points Scrolls worth 70000 to 150,000 contribution points, ten Special Prize Lottery Tickets, and 800 Resurrection Coins.
Once again, we sincerely apologize to the Chosen Ones.
— Elven Nation Official Operation Committee]
After reading the entire official apology announcement for Elven Nation, Li Mu's eyes widened.
"One month of game membership, contribution points compensation, Lottery Ticket Subsidies, 50% discount, double experience and contribution points, and compensation for items … Wow … Wow!"
"This is really … really a big deal! There are three million players. Just the membership alone, how much money would this cost? "
He murmured, still in disbelief.
Although contribution points had been greatly depreciated since the launch of the game, such a generous reward could definitely be said to be more generous than the mission rewards of the Great Sage War …
In his excitement, Li Mu hurriedly turned off the computer, slipped into the stealth cabin, and logged into the game.
The higher the level, the higher the compensation. There was still one day before the compensation would be distributed, and with four times the thinking speed acceleration, it would be four days in Elven Nation!
He had accumulated enough experience points, so he had to take advantage of these few days to level up one more level!
One more level, and the compensation would be greater!
In addition, he had to quickly prepare the contribution points to buy equipment, so that he could grab the equipment he wanted as soon as the 50% discount was available.
The higher the level of the equipment in the shop, the fewer there were, and many of them were out of print. If his hand speed was slow, it was very likely that he would be robbed by others!
He had to prepare enough contribution points as soon as possible before the discount was available!
Hmm … He could ask Alice for some high-contribution missions. If it was still not enough in the end, he could just borrow some from Demacia …
If he wanted to level up, he would go to the first level of hell!
The evil gods there had run away, and there were many demons suitable for farming!
Soon, Li Mu arranged his plans for the next few days (in the game world).
As for the roast video he had just made?
What was that?
Was it delicious?
After throwing the roast video to the back of his mind and logging into the game as quickly as possible, Li Mu once again returned to the world of Segers …
The Nephilic Judge Army that had besieged the City of Heaven's Chosen had been completely wiped out by the players.
Before Li Mu went offline last time, the Nephilic Judge Army's level had suddenly and inexplicably dropped collectively. The remaining strength was no match for the players at all, and it was a complete one-sided slaughter.
The Eternal Pope, Benedict II, had also died in battle.
However, his death was a little strange. Li Mu remembered that he seemed to have actively sought death, which was similar to suicide. His expression before death was ferocious and desperate.
There were also some Eternal Believers who had fled and scattered in the Elven Forest.
However, the Elven Forest was the players' territory, and it was only a matter of time before these stray dogs were wiped out.
Li Mu didn't need to worry about these details.
The reinforcements supporting the Elven Forest had left one after another. Only a few gluttonous and playful Megalosaurus licked their faces and stayed, eating and drinking in the Elven Forest all day long.
Their figures could be seen in the sky from time to time.
The war was over, and peace was restored to the lush Elven Forest and the bustling City of Heaven's Chosen.
However, this war had caused great damage to the City of Heaven's Chosen. More than 30% of the buildings had been destroyed in the war, and it would probably take a lot of time to rebuild.
Not only that, but the destruction of the Elven Forest was also quite severe.
Especially the core area, under the attack of the Eternal Army and the Divine Battle Army, many forests had been reduced to ashes. It was a tragic sight.
Everything needed to be rebuilt.
When Li Mu arrived at the City of Heaven's Chosen, he saw a busy scene.
Despite their dissatisfaction, there were still many players who continued to play the game. After the war ended, the players' reconstruction work had been ongoing.
Of course, it wasn't just the players who participated, but also the NPC elves.
In the City of Heaven's Chosen, a large number of players arrived one after another, waking up from their deep slumber.
Obviously, they had seen the apology announcement and were seizing the time to go online to save money or level up.
Li Mu even saw the figure of Feng Wu, who was cursing and wanting to quit the game in the group.
He chuckled and went up to say hello. When Feng Wu looked a little uncomfortable, he joked,
"Yo, Feng Wu, you're online too?"
"Ahem, well … I'm seeing how much experience I have to level up."
"Didn't you say you wanted to quit the game?"
"What? Brother Mu, what did you say? I don't remember. Maybe you heard wrong. "
Feng Wu's eyes wandered.
Li Mu laughed loudly.
The Elven Forest became lively again.
On the official forum, a large number of posts praising the sincerity of Elven Kingdom's apology appeared.
"Take the 50% discount in the shop. Everyone, pretend nothing happened."
"What? What happened? "
"I forgot. I don't know …"
"I'll always love Elven Kingdom. I'll always love the Elven Forest. Long live the Goddess!"
"Elven Kingdom is the best game! Elven Kingdom's operation is the best game operation! () "
"Wula —!"
Similar ridicule could be found everywhere in the comment section.
"Look, it's settled."
In the World Tree Kingdom, seeing the players who had regained their enthusiasm, Eve slowly retracted her gaze and smiled at the Fairy Queen, Fennel, who had a look of admiration.
Then, she used her divine power to shroud the Elven Forest that had been destroyed in the war.
The next moment, a golden light descended, and a large number of photons fell from the sky. The entire forest was bathed in a golden ocean …
Plants sprouted, trees grew, and the destroyed Elven Forest slowly regained its vitality.
Seeing the bright light and the slowly recovering Elven Forest, the players stopped what they were doing, and their eyes were filled with shock.
They had to admit that the miracle of the Goddess was spectacular no matter when they saw it.
