On the day that the two-way teleportation array was opened to the public, the two main cities' teleportation arrays were once again crowded with people. Players also came to join in the fun.
Fortunately, the newly appointed teleportation officer had already anticipated this situation and arranged for guards to be in charge of maintaining order a few days ago. That was why there wasn't any chaos.
This time, Xu Sili didn't appear again. Chief Governor Wen Jishan was in charge of the teleportation array.
In front of the camera, Wen Jishan announced the rules of using the teleportation array, including the reception time, the difference between people and goods, and the fee.
Because the teleportation array required a special energy source, the teleportation wasn't free. A single teleportation cost 1000 Exhe coins and could teleport 10 to 50 people at a time. The amount of goods was limited to 10 tons.
This price wasn't too expensive. If they could gather 50 people, it would only cost 20 Exhe coins per person.
It was worth mentioning that in the beginning, the teleportation array used traditional source stones according to the instructions on the blueprint. Later on, Xu Sili suddenly had an idea and used the Star Core that Si Sheng had brought back. He found that it could be replaced.
Mining source stones was very troublesome, but it was much more convenient to use the interstellar beast's star core as a replacement. Based on the current number of interstellar beasts, the star cores were inexhaustible.
The teleportation array fee wasn't for profit, but to limit it so that people wouldn't use it for fun.
Finally, after a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, the teleportation array was officially opened.
The first to be teleported naturally didn't include the brave ones.
Because of the beast wave, the main cities were closed off for the past three years. Many people's families were separated from each other. Naturally, these people would be the first to be reunited.
Will was in the first batch of people to be teleported from Lan Yue City.
Before the beast wave happened, he was sent from the imperial city to Lan Yue City as a support soldier. He was about to return when the beast wave sealed off the city.
He hadn't been home for five years.
When he left, his wife was pregnant, but now …
Will hadn't contacted them in a long time, other than asking the captain to help him transfer the allowance he had saved up.
He was just a normal soldier, and the military's communication device didn't support cross-city communication. Lan Yue City was in such a difficult situation and could lose its life at any time.
When he contacted his wife for the last time, he asked her to get a divorce and to remarry as soon as possible. He didn't want to delay her life because of him.
In fact, he should have done that long ago, but he still wasted three years of her life in vain. How could he, who had fought in the army, not know?
There was no way to clear out all the interstellar beasts. He might be trapped in Orchid Moon City for the rest of his life, never to return.
Only those who had experienced the pain of despair would know.
Fortunately, other than his wife and children, he had no other attachments in the Imperial City. He was an orphan. His father died on the front lines when he was very young, and his mother was nowhere to be found. It was the Empire that raised him.
He was just like his father in the past. It seemed … quite good for him to receive the same fate as his father.
However, Will did not expect that there would actually be a day when the situation would see the light of day.
First, the Marshal made a move and slaughtered tens of thousands of interstellar beasts outside Orchid Moon City, giving them time to catch their breath. Then, His Majesty lifted the seal of Orchid Moon City, strengthening the Guardian Array that was full of holes.
The most inconceivable thing was that His Majesty built a two-way teleportation array, and it was a great success on the national live broadcast!
God knows, when he saw His Majesty successfully teleporting to Orchid Moon City and then back to the Imperial City on the live broadcast screen, that once despairing and still heart of his was beating so violently!
He could go back!
After five years, he could finally go back!
He just had to wait for one more week, just one more week, and he could use the teleportation array to go back!
It was like he was dreaming.
Especially the next day, when the Regiment Commander called him and a few soldiers who had come from the Imperial City to stand guard, who had survived the battle, to the barracks and told them to pack their bags immediately and prepare to head to Central Town. He could not believe that it was real.
However, the military order clearly written in his hand couldn't be any more real.
From that day onwards, he was sent back to the Imperial City to patrol the small town of Doha. The order was for him to take the teleportation array and report to the Militia Camp in Doha as soon as possible.
This meant that he no longer had to stay on the front lines, and he no longer had to live in the shadow of being killed by interstellar beasts every day.
However, what really made this 1.8-meter-tall, burly man cry like a child was the fact that he could finally go back and reunite with his wife and children!
That night, the few of them hugged each other and cried. The next day, they took the military shuttle to Central Town and waited.
Finally, the day had come!
When the light of the teleportation array lit up and disappeared in the Imperial City again, 50 soldiers appeared out of thin air in the center of the array. Their clothes were patched up, but they were clean and tidy.
They cautiously surveyed their surroundings, trembling and trembling with a sense of homesickness.
Outside the teleportation array, Wen Jishan clapped his hands to attract the attention of these soldiers.
Under their watchful gazes, he said with a sense of joy and emotion, "Soldiers, welcome home!"
These men, who had been fighting at the front lines for many years, who had gritted their teeth and persevered no matter how serious their injuries, all had red eyes just because of this one sentence.
Finally, under the guidance of the squad leader, they quickly wiped their faces, and then all of them gave Wen Jishan a standard and extremely imposing military salute.
"Reporting to Sir, we are home!"
The sonorous yet choked voices of the men resounded throughout the teleportation hall, making the noses of the others in the hall, and even the audience watching the live broadcast, sour.
"Boo hoo, this is so good to cry."
In a tavern in Doha Town, Deng Jianan watched the live broadcast in the tavern hall, and two drops of tears fell from his eyes.
Of course, he still had the live broadcast on, so the audience in the live broadcast room also watched with him, and the bullet screen was also filled with sobs.
"It's not easy for them either..."
The bartender, Peter, watched the scene on the screen as he wiped the wine glasses, and could not help but sigh. "It's all thanks to His Majesty that we can come back."
Deng Jianan nodded. Peter was a fan of His Majesty Roland, and in front of him, it was only right to praise him.
"Hey, isn't that Will?"
The mercenary Li Lei put down his wine glass and said in surprise, "He's actually still alive? What good luck! "
"You know him?"
"Former neighbor, it seems that I haven't heard from him for a long time, his wife raised their child alone, it's not easy."
On the screen, the reporters were interviewing these warriors, asking them what they wanted to do most now, and almost all of them said that they wanted to see their friends and family.
Then the live broadcast changed to outside the teleportation hall, and when the 50 warriors who had returned from Orchid City walked out of the hall, they were greeted with the courtesy of heroes.
They were indeed heroes!
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the people, the crowd suddenly parted, and some old people hobbled out with crutches, and some women ran out with children in their arms.
The warriors were stunned, and then cried excitedly, reuniting with their friends and family who had been arranged to wait here in advance.
In the tavern, there were other players besides Deng Jianan, and when they saw this scene, they could not help but have red eyes.
Suddenly, a player said excitedly, "Hey, this is Big Sister's child, I helped take care of it before! That's great, now that her husband is back, she's not an orphan and a widow anymore... "
Not long after he finished speaking, a glass of beer was smashed on the table in front of him, giving him a fright.
"Good boy, you did well! I thank you on behalf of my old neighbor, I'll treat you to this beer! "
Li Lei came to his side at some point, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed loudly.
However, that player's face suddenly turned green.
Although the players were now at a higher level and would not be directly killed by other players, they would still lose HP!
If it were not for the fact that he saw him treat him to a drink, that player would have thought that he was trying to pick a fight. Later, Deng Jianan also invited him to drink, so he laughed it off.
In the Starry Sky Forum, there were also many players discussing this teleportation live broadcast, and many people admitted in the post that they were teary-eyed.
The main thing was that many of the old people and children who were arranged to be reunited at the scene were NPCs that they had contacted or helped when they were doing the "Respect the Old and Love the Young".
Some of the NPCs, they could even call out their names while watching the live broadcast. It was a very subtle feeling, happy and accomplished at the same time.
Especially when the warriors asked about their families, the old people and children mentioned the heroes who helped them and said that they wanted to thank them properly, that kind of vanity was simply unprecedented.
Everyone could not help but sigh. No matter how tedious the daily missions of the Star Age were, the sense of immersion and realism was really good, and it also made people unconsciously feel a sense of belonging.
It was naturally Xu Sili's idea to let Wen Jishan find the relatives of the warriors.
He had experienced the pain of being separated from his loved ones, and in this matter, he more or less sympathized with the warriors.
Therefore, he spent a little time to help them find their surviving relatives and friends. At least he could see them reunite, and he could feel some comfort.
At this point in the live broadcast, he turned off the television.
He did not know when he would be able to reunite with his parents, brother, and grandparents …
He sighed, then pulled himself together.
Now that the Imperial City and Orchid City could communicate with each other, the Elementalist engineering team that had accumulated countless experience could also be sent to Orchid City to speed up the construction.
The construction of the Imperial City naturally did not fall behind. Although the efficiency was lower in the winter, it continued to be pushed forward. When spring came, a large number of poor people would be able to move into the new houses.
These poor people also threw themselves into the construction under Wen Jishan's employment. As long as they had enough to eat and wear, their requirements were very low.
Now, the Elementalist engineering team had also figured out a set of work methods that could cooperate with the normal people in the construction and maximize efficiency.
With a job, there would be money to buy things. With demand, the market would gradually catch up. The newly built economy of the town of Doha gradually became lively under the management of Wen Jishan and the others.
As the scale of the construction increased, the number of people involved increased, and the construction speed naturally increased. Xu Sili's experience points also slowly increased.
After a week, he finally successfully broke through to Lv30, becoming the only person in the Roland Empire to reach the three-star level other than Si Sheng.
Because of the level restriction, he also stopped at Lv30. He saved up all the experience points he gained and waited for him to level up the main city again.
Leveling up a main city to Lv4 was much more difficult than leveling up from Lv2 to Lv3. Other than the three Lv2 districts that needed to be leveled up to Lv3, he also needed to build another Lv3 district.
This could not be rushed, so Xu Sili could only calm down for now.
But what surprised him was — —
[Ding. Player Level 30, Leader Skill unlocked — — Balance]
[Balance]
Description: Do not worry about scarcity, but worry about uneven distribution. You can choose a party, and the damage received by the party members will be evenly distributed to the other members of the party. Lasts for 30 minutes.
Mana Cost: 1000
Xu Sili was stunned for a while before he carefully read the description of this new skill. When he confirmed that he did not misunderstand, joy exploded in his heart.
Damn, he would never say anything bad about Wang Lao again!
This skill came at just the right time. It would be very important for his upcoming plan to clear out monsters.
The next day, there was another piece of good news — — Glass Ocean, Twilight Frost, and Star Grasping, the three main cities' teleportation circles were all completed!
Xu Sili was overjoyed and rewarded Su Mo and the other two. Then he waved his hand and sent Ikeda and Su Mo to build secondary teleportation circles. As for Su Lin, who had already become an Array Master, he was transferred back.
Even if the Roland Empire only had five main cities left, it was still quite a large area. For the sake of the players' experience, they had to build teleportation circles at important locations to make it easier to travel.
It was a good thing that the blueprints he found in the ruins included not only the super long distance teleportation circles between main cities, but also the secondary teleportation circles within the city. The materials needed were much simpler.
With the help of Ikeda, they should be able to build a batch before the Open Beta.
Su Mo was naturally very happy. He did not care about the rewards, but he was very happy that he could finally work with Ikeda.
More importantly, the eyesore Su Lin was also transferred back to the inner city to teach the Array Master.
Xu Sili didn't know much about Su Mo's mental journey, nor did he care much about it. This time, when the transmission array was completed, he didn't do a live broadcast. Instead, he sent Wen Jishan and Qiu Zheng to do it.
Qiu Zheng had relatives in Star Grasping, so he was overjoyed that the completion of the teleportation circle was completed.
However, the completion of the teleportation circle did not mean that it was officially open to the public. It still needed some time to coordinate with each main city. Using this time, Xu Sili finally released the long-planned mission.
On this day, two weeks before the end of the Second Beta, every player in the game received the same mission — —
Ding! Successfully triggered normal mission — — Galactic Beast Extermination Plan (1)
Description: None
Mission Details: Please bring [Zhou Chang Order] and report to the Imperial City Military Department within 24 hours.
[Reward: 10 EXP, 1 Reputation, Invisible Armor x1]
???
All the players were confused when they saw the words [Description: None]. What kind of mission was this?
However, the [Galactic Beast Extermination Plan (1)] was quite intriguing. Countless people were discussing this in the Starry Sky Forum.
There was also the [Zhou Chang Order]. It was an item that could only be exchanged from the faction storage after seven days of Respect for the Elderly.
Every time one completed the [Zhou Chang Order], the number of redeemable items would increase by one. This was added after the Second Beta. Until now, no one knew the use of the [Zhou Chang Order].
After all, it had been one and a half months since the Second Beta started. Those who were diligent would have at least four or five [Zhou Chang Order]. Now that all teleportation circles were open to the players, this mission was not that difficult.
In the end, everyone came to a consensus to do it first! After all, the Invisibility Armor could be said to be free.
Therefore, with all kinds of doubts and curiosity, a large number of players gathered at the Imperial City through the teleportation circle and then gathered at the Military Department. When the time was up, they were all taken to the shuttles that were already on standby.
A total of 4,580 players came. The rest were not online or did not make it. This number was enough for Xu Sili.
He stepped onto the shuttles and led this army of players to the border of Glaze City.
The vast plains between the Imperial City and Glazed Sea City would be his first touchstone.
When they arrived at the barrier of the Imperial City, the fully-loaded shuttles did not stop. Instead, they directly passed through the barrier and flew out of the Imperial City, all the way to Glaze City.
Finally, they landed at the border where the Imperial City's army was advancing.
The officers and soldiers who came to greet them looked at them worriedly. To be more precise, they were looking at one of the shuttles that came with them.
Just as the players were puzzled, they saw a familiar figure walk down from the shuttles.
Long silver hair, light purple eyes, and a handsome face that could be said to be peerless.
What the f * ck?!
Isn't this the faction leader of the Roland Empire, Snow Roland? Why is he here?!
Just as they were shocked, the young man looked at them and smiled lightly. "Thank you for your guidance, heroes."
The players were all dumbfounded.
What the f * ck? What guidance? Why is a faction leader on the front line? Don't you know this is very dangerous?!
