Chen Chen walked out of the time machine and once again descended into this era where civilization was at its end.
The Black Knights on the side had been waiting for a long time. At this time, a Black Knight stepped forward directly and X-112's voice came from it. "Sir Commander, long time no see."
"Indeed, it's been a long time."
Chen Chen nodded. He looked at the mountains of materials in this warehouse and the androids coming and going, and asked immediately, "Is everything going well after the arrival of those players?"
"Except for some turbulence in public security, it should be... It's going well."
X-112 was obviously a little helpless. "The entire Blacklight City is in a state of panic. After all, many natives have learned of the fact that a group of foreigners has arrived.
"For the residents of Blacklight City, these players are a group of desperados. Every day, innocent natives are robbed and harassed. Many people also learned from those players that this is all a game and they come from another world. This makes everyone even more panicked. There are even natives who have begun to march on the streets, hoping that we can expel those who bring unrest and riots."
"Emmmm..."
Chen Chen frowned when he heard these words, showing a thoughtful look. "In this case, it seems that it's indeed time to plan more."
"By the way, Sir Commander."
X-112 said again, "Several other forces of the Joint Resistance Army have also inquired about this matter. Some time ago, they sent envoys to ask what's going on with these people and at the same time, they hope to meet with you."
"I won't see them."
Chen Chen waved his hand. "I originally planned to lead some players to their sphere of influence after the official launch of the server in the future, but now it seems that this is not a safe method. Sooner or later, there will be fierce conflicts between the players and the natives. In this case, we might as well rebuild the city."
"Rebuild the city?"
X-112 asked curiously.
"The reason why our Blacklight City only has one city is not because we don't have the conditions and financial resources to build other bases, but because of an insufficient population."
Chen Chen said, "But if we have a large number of players joining, the situation will be different..."
With that, Chen Chen suddenly waved one hand and an image of a world map appeared out of thin air in the void. Chen Chen tapped slightly on Greenland. "This is the location of Blacklight City, this is the location of Northern America City, and this is the location of Central Continent City...
"The territory of the Holy Fusion Empire is in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. The territory controlled by the Joint Resistance Army is in Northern America and South America...
Chen Chen silently drew something on the world map. Sometimes, he was lost in thought, and other times, he seemed to realize something. "In the future, players will continue to appear in large numbers and the demand for resources will be extremely high. In this case, we can build new cities in the North Sea Continent, the Central Continent, and the Indian Continent."
"When the time comes, our plane will be divided into three. The Divine Fusion Empire will be a major force, and the other two forces made up of the Joint Resistance Army and the players can form an alliance."
"Then I'm afraid we'll need more than one city."
X-112 reminded, "At least hundreds or thousands of them. Otherwise, they won't be able to support so many players. However, these resources, manpower, and time will all be extremely costly."
"None of that is a problem."
Chen Chen flashed a secretive smile. "Players can build their own cities, can't they? We just need to give them missions and tell them what to do and how to do it. That's enough. "
"It doesn't matter if they don't have money. We can use virtual game coins as money. It doesn't matter if they don't have resources. They can mine and transport by themselves. At the same time, as long as the pain system is turned off, they'll be the most hardworking workers."
"You can do that?"
X-112 suddenly understood.
"What the players want is actually very simple."
Chen Chen sighed. He spread his hands. "Watching the cities that you've built rise from the ground and watching yourself dedicate light and heat to this world, this sense of accomplishment is incomparable. What does it mean to create happiness with one's heart? That's it... "
Without further ado, Chen Chen asked X-112 to create a plan, which listed in detail every detail after the players came here. Moreover, in the plan, the city did not need to be very vast and beautiful. A standard medieval city was enough.
He controlled several large ships to transport the first batch of materials and a time machine. Chen Chen had already thought of the construction sites of these cities. They were all the ruins of the port cities of the old era. These areas had one common characteristic, which was that they were geographically superior and easy to develop. When they arrived there, the Black Knights would build the initial camp to welcome the first batch of players who came here.
A standard player's camp was equipped with a 3D printing factory that could continuously produce the bodies of the game characters, a store that sold supplies, a black sphere teleportation station that could teleport to other camps, a hospital that could heal any injuries, and a defense camp where the Black Knights were stationed.
In addition to these five departments, the rest had to be created by the players themselves.
For the players, of course, they could not blindly make them workers. Otherwise, the players would probably complain that this game was a house-building simulator. Therefore, Chen Chen also gave the players full authority to hunt, mine resources, fish, and other tasks. What X-112 had to do was to issue tasks in an orderly manner to bring fun to the players.
As a reward for the players, Chen Chen naturally crossed out the original Joint Coin and changed it into a virtual currency. The virtual currency could buy anything they wanted in the camp, such as food, weapons, field survival props, teleportation fees, opportunities to treat injuries, and so on.
The real world had become an industrial logistics base in the end dimension. Launch materials for rockets and satellites were transported over. In the next few months, Blacklight City would continue to send satellites into space, allowing thousands of satellites to cover the entire earth. In this way, no matter where the players went, they would not be down because of a loss of signal.
When everything was ready, Chen Chen also issued the corresponding announcement in reality:
"After three months of closed beta operation of Ancient Civilization, it has been confirmed that the game is 100% safe and most of the hidden bugs have been eliminated. Therefore, we announce that from next Monday (June 1, 2044), Ancient Civilization will be officially launched. At the same time, the matching game chambers will also be sold from today on the official website of Blacklight Biotechnology branches worldwide. At the same time, we have also made changes to the rules of the game —"
"1. We have changed the birthplace of players. From now on, new players who enter the game will be born at the designated 50 spawn points and will no longer be born in Blacklight City."
"2. Because a large number of players obtain game currency through illegal means, in order to maintain the balance of the currency system in the game, from now on, we will modify the currency mechanism, remove Joint Coin from the currency, and use virtual currency instead. The virtual currency will be named Ancient Currency. The attributes of closed beta players will be retained and the currency will be reset to zero. The old currency will no longer be able to buy anything from the player camp.
"3. The game has opened the construction module. From now on, players will receive a large number of construction quests after entering the game. Moreover, in order to encourage players to participate in the construction of the camp, the reward for construction quests will be two to three times that of other quests.
"4. The red name mechanism has been modified. From now on, players who kill their own forces will be hunted down by the major camps. The specific performance is that other players can receive corresponding hunting quests, and killing red name players will be rewarded with generous rewards. At the same time, harming innocent NPCs will be wanted by the force to which the NPC belongs and will be disqualified from entering the city of the force until they die once.
"5. According to the suggestions of most female players, the game has opened the credibility points module. Each person will receive 12 points per year. Players who verbally harass the opposite sex (including but not limited to other players) will be deducted 1 point after verification. Subjective malicious contact with the opposite sex will be deducted 3 points. Those who force a relationship with the opposite sex will be deducted 12 points at one time. Those whose points are reset to zero within a year will have their game account banned and never restored.
"6. According to the discussion of the game planning team of Blacklight Biotechnology, in order to maintain the fairness of the game, the exchange channel between real currency and virtual currency will not be opened for the time being. At the same time, any act of participating in real transactions in the game will not be protected by the game. Please understand.
"Currently, the first batch of game chambers has been sold for one million units, and each unit is priced at 100000 USD. Action is better than excitement. Hurry up and enter 'Ancient Civilization' and start a brand new life with us!"
"Yours sincerely, Blacklight Biotechnology Game Department."
With the release of this announcement, it immediately caused an uproar all over the world. Although it had only been in operation for three months and there was almost no advertising, this was still the world's first game with five senses, a high degree of freedom, and a 100% simulation of reality. There was no need for any advertising. Just based on the authority of Blacklight Biotechnology and the publicity of the 100,000 closed beta players, "Ancient Civilization" appeared in the world's public opinion every day on a grand occasion.
Unless one did not touch the Internet, there was almost no one who did not know about this game. In fact, many people who loved games had already become cloud players of "Ancient Civilization". When they talked about the content of the game, many people would be stunned.
The announcement of this announcement caused a shocking tsunami. On the official website of Blacklight Biotechnology, major forums around the world, and even the news media of various countries immediately released the news that Ancient Civilization was about to officially launch.
[The ultimate of virtual reality? When a game has five senses simulation, can you still distinguish between the game and reality?] — North Associated Press News.
[Ancient Civilization officially launched. Experts claim that this kind of technology is not only a game, but may also include the road of future civilization of mankind?] — Reuters News.
[Biology, medical, resources, military, aerospace... Coupled with today's games, how many industries will Blackwatch monopolize before it is willing to give up?] — UPI.
[Ancient Civilization launch announcement, the greatest online game in human history is about to be born?] — Sina Express.
On the Internet, everyone was also talking about this topic with great enthusiasm. However, unlike some media that hinted at bad news, those players who were looking forward to this game were celebrating and constantly discussing several newly released rules.
[I've been waiting for so long, it's finally officially launched! I thought it would be open beta after the closed beta.]
[This game has a very high degree of completion. Except for a few anti-human rules modified at the beginning, there are almost no changes. Compared to the Polish idiot who likes to sell semi-finished products and the Ubisoft who buys bugs and gives the game away, Black B * tch has a lot more conscience!]
[Upstairs, you're not dreaming, are you? Can the two be compared? Black B * tch is the world's largest private economy. Its authority is comparable to that of a continent's government, and its financial resources can even compete head-on with Northern America and China. The Polish idiot and the Ubisoft are just ordinary game companies. At most, they are relatively large. How can they compare to Black B * tch? The investment in the game Ancient Civilization alone is probably more than 100 billion.]
[It's indeed very kind. For ordinary game companies, the data of the closed beta won't be retained. Now, Black B * tch only eliminated the money earned by the closed beta players during the closed beta, but kept their physical fitness.]
[Upstairs, isn't this unfair to new players?]
[The red name mechanism and reputation points are too unnecessary. I'm already depressed enough in reality, but I can't do whatever I want in the game? Then why do I want to play this game?]
[Because if you don't play, there are plenty of people playing! And you must not have a female family member, right? Otherwise, when your female family member plays the game, you don't care if they are wantonly insulted by the people in the game?]
[Upstairs, upstairs is really disgusting. His words shocked me. Does he think he can do whatever he wants in the game?]
[The game can't exchange real money for game currency? What kind of retarded plan is this? Black B * tch doesn't even want to earn money?]
[Upstairs, Black B * tch needs money? This is the best joke of the century!]
[I think this rule is very good. It protects the rights and interests of us civilian players. By the way, you guys always say "Black B * tch, Black B * tch". What does Black B * tch mean?]
[Black B * tch is another name for Blackwatch in the gaming world. Upstairs, you should know that Blackwatch was originally a company in the Mainland. The meaning of the company in Chinese is "black light", but the English name of this company is "Black Watch", so many people simply called it "Black Watch", and then it became "Black B * tch"...]
[One hundred thousand US dollars is so expensive. I'm now in the third grade of elementary school and my weekly living expenses are only one hundred US dollars. If I want to afford a game chamber, won't I have to wait until I'm in college?]
[Haha, elementary school students should forget about it. This game is 18 years old. Those under the age of 18 can't enter this game. You'd better wait until you're older!]
...
The Internet was full of discussions about Blacklight Biotechnology and the game Ancient Civilization. In reality, some people who were well-off even waited in front of the website that night, waiting for the arrival of 0 o 'clock.
This was because 0 o 'clock was the time when the game chamber went on sale.
Although the price of one hundred thousand US dollars would eliminate a considerable part of the population, many people who had never come into contact with the game had also received a lot of information from the videos released by those closed beta players and the propaganda from the mouths of the cloud players.
For example, having five senses comparable to reality, being able to change sex in the game, being able to shape one's face to be beautiful, being able to enjoy delicious food and even sex... These conditions alone were enough to make countless people who felt that reality was not perfect enough and wanted to experience a second life in the game.
Countless players around the world, as well as more than a billion people from scalpers, purchasing agents, and other professions, would compete for the first batch of one million game chambers tonight.
For this group of people, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night...
