"Hahahaha, look at its stupid face!" The players standing on the high wall laughed as they pointed at the Interstellar Beast that had slipped into the trench and been impaled by the steel bars.
"Brothers, it's our turn!"
At this moment, some of the Wind Element players carried their teammates on their backs while others were lightly armed.
Flying Interstellar Beasts were flying high in the sky and did not notice them for the time being.
They quickly flew toward the first and second trenches.
Some of the Interstellar Beasts had already broken through the first trench. When they stepped on the grass, they kept slipping and falling into the second trench one after another.
There were also explosives buried in the second trench, but now was not the time to use them.
The lightly armed Wind Element players took out a huge water tank filled with an unknown liquid from their backpacks and poured it directly on the Interstellar Beasts' heads.
On the high wall, the Level-30 Water Element players used their powerful Elemental Control to turn the liquid into rain and evenly sprinkled it on the Interstellar Beasts' heads.
The thousands of Wind Element players quickly drenched the tens of thousands of Interstellar Beasts at the front. At this moment, the battlefield was already filled with —
The smell of rapeseed oil.
That's right, this was the rapeseed oil that the players bought from the System Shop. Although it was not very cool, it was cheap!
Kerosene and oil were hard to find, and there was no time to get them. As for rapeseed oil … there was an unlimited supply in the System Shop!
After pouring the oil, the Water Element players followed Qingyan's instructions and made a drizzle.
The Interstellar Beasts that were drenched in the rapeseed oil felt very sticky and uncomfortable. Just as they thought that it was a timely rain, —
"Crackle! Crackle! "
The drizzle stopped and was replaced by small fireballs thrown by the Fire Element players!
They lay on the backs of the Wind Element players and kept throwing small fireballs down. These small fireballs directly ignited the rapeseed oil. The rapeseed oil was mixed with water, causing an explosion effect.
Although it was not as deadly as a time bomb, it was still painful! Moreover, the Interstellar Beasts that had crossed the first trench were all injured. It was simply more painful.
The other Wind Element players did not stay idle and continued to add fuel to the fire.
In less than five minutes, the fire spread. Thick black smoke surged in the wind, accompanied by the deafening screams of the Interstellar Beasts.
Bright red damage values appeared one after another, accompanied by the smell of roasted meat.
The players guarding the high wall could not help but salivate when they smelled the aroma.
Before, they were nervous, but now they were hungry.
Oh my, it smells so good! I want to eat it!
Even the audience in the live stream channel could not stand it.
[Who would be able to resist such fresh ingredients and such authentic cooking methods?]
[I ordered takeout.]
[This battle is a battle is a good one.]
[Can you guys be more serious? I can hear the sound of the host swallowing her saliva!]
[...... when?..........................................

"Elder Wang, are you sure you want to do this?"
.................
"But …"
Wang Lao raised his hand and stopped the person from continuing. "I know what you want to say, but we are responsible for this. It was our mistake."
Although Mr. Xu was involved in this incident, and Mr. Xu might have been the key to the incident, it was true that the research center had sent out the problematic game pods.
Mr. Xu had kept his promise with him and did not appear in front of the players. He had also been active near the Dark Demon Dragon's spawn point.
As the biggest investor in Star Age, he had the right to enjoy the game. No matter what, he could not be blamed.
"I should have expected the game to be uncontrollable. From the beginning, we could not make Star Age follow the script we designed."
"Every tiny event can lead to an unpredictable butterfly effect."
"This is the charm of Star Age, and it is also the challenge we need to face."
Wang Lao's words made everyone in the conference room silent.
It was true that from the beginning, everything had gone out of control like a wild horse. Almost nothing had gone according to the plan they had set.
This time, the gaming team could not shift the blame to anyone else.
The room fell into silence, but soon, someone voiced his opinion.
"Wang Lao, I agree with your point of view," said the person.
"But the problem now is that our experimental data is not perfect. Although we have not detected any harm to the human body, it could be because the testing base is too small."
"If we carry it out rashly, and something happens …"
"Then I will take responsibility for it," said Wang Lao seriously.
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent again. This time, no one raised any objections.
Then, they began to discuss the implementation plan. At this time, someone said, "But if the game helmet is released early, will it affect the sales of the game pods?"
Based on the current number of orders, there was still a huge market for game pods. On one hand, it was because of the quality of Star Age. On the other hand, it could also be because of hunger marketing.
If the cheaper game helmet was released, it would definitely affect the game pods.
"Star Age's initial positioning was high-end, but from the current popularity of the game, this positioning may need to be adjusted."
Wang Lao said seriously.
Star Age was an epoch-making holographic game. They did not have any examples to refer to, so they could only feel their way through the river. Every step had to be explored slowly.
"Then, let's continue the discussion."
In the game, the galactic beasts were still at the second line of defense.
The burning sea of fire had spread, and the temperature of the battlefield had increased by a few degrees. There was also the smell of meat mixed with the thick smell of blood in the air.
However, the galactic beasts were not stopped.
In fact, most of the galactic beasts were not afraid of fire. At least, normal fire could not really burn them to death. It could only cause them a certain degree of pain.
Not to mention, there were galactic beasts that mastered water skills. Although they were in a frenzy, they would instinctively save themselves.
In addition, the galactic beasts that were originally flying in the air began to hunt the players on the ground. This was a huge hindrance to the players —
In terms of anti-air territory, even the NPCs did not have a good idea, let alone the players.
Finally, after using corpses to fill up the two deep trenches, the galactic beasts began to advance toward the high wall.
At this time, it was already late at night.
"Boom boom boom —"
As the gap between the second and third line of defense, how could Qingyan let go of this small gap? The galactic beasts were like thunder with every step they took. The roar of the explosion and the soaring flames rose one after another.
The number of players online at night was undoubtedly the highest of the day.
As the office workers and students came online one after another, the number of people in the resistance team increased from forty thousand to ninety thousand. This ratio of people online at the same time was definitely excellent.
However, facing the endless galactic beasts, the number of players was still too small.
Qingyan was under a lot of pressure. She was not sure how long the third line of defense could last, so behind her, the fourth and fifth lines of defense were already being built.
However, they could not keep retreating. The location of the teleportation circle was the bottom line, and the teleportation circle was the key to whether they could hold on.
In fact, it was completely out of Xu Sili's expectation that the players could hold on for so long.
The foundation of the Town of the Brave had not even been built yet, and it was so far away from the Imperial City. He had given up on it at the beginning.
Therefore, this time, apart from providing the necessary equipment and medicine, he did not do anything. He just watched from the beginning to the end as a bystander.
He originally thought that the players would be defeated after the first wave. After all, without his participation in the past few days, the speed of the players clearing the monsters was much slower.
However, he did not expect the players to have so many tricks up their sleeves. Not only did they dig trenches and build walls in just one day, but they also set up so many traps.
What was even more amazing was that someone had developed a time bomb.
Looking at the situation, it should not be over in a short time. At least, they could hold on until the next morning. However, during the day, the number of players online would be reduced by at least half. It was unknown if they could hold on.
Xu Sili decided to observe for a while more.
Currently, Xu Sili had already revealed the information about the Star Tide to Wen Jishan and the other ministers. They were holding a meeting in full swing. This morning, Xiao Wu finally completely digested the data from the Bevat Empire's spaceship.
The Bevat Empire had installed a total of 54 devices on Eshe Star. They were scattered around the surrounding area in a fan shape.
These devices could emit a specific sound wave that would interfere with the interstellar beasts' brain nerves, causing them to have a strong sense of crisis and become crazy. They would then migrate to the place they thought was safe, which was Roland.
Now, Si Sheng was following the map given by Xiao Wu to destroy these devices on Eshe Star.
When all the devices stopped emitting sound waves, the situation of the Star Tide should be better than the timeline of the future forum.
"Roar —"
After stepping on all the mines, some of the interstellar beasts finally broke through all the defense lines and crashed into the high wall.
Just the vibration caused by the crash caused a low-level player's health bar to drop by half. He was so scared that he quickly took out a health potion and ate it.
The horrors of the Star Tide were evident.
The only fortunate thing was that even with so many people online at the same time, there was no lag or disconnection. The experience was simply superb!
As the night grew darker, the number of players participating in the defense of the city began to decrease.
Although everyone wanted to stay in the game to help, not everyone was a full-time player. The next morning, the number of players was reduced by half again. It was even less than yesterday.
Being online for 48 hours straight wasn't something that anyone could withstand.
The players who were still defending the city were cursing and swearing. There were also many players who went offline to watch the live broadcast on the forum to see the real-time battle situation.
But today, it was hard to say whether Qingyan and the others would be able to last until nighttime.
At this time, the game officials, who had been cursed by the players for a long time, finally made a new announcement:
In 24 hours, Star Age will temporarily adjust the time flow ratio between reality and game to 6: 1. In addition, the Star Age forum and live broadcast will be closed in the game. Players can only browse the forum after they go offline.
There was another important news:
The Game Helmet has been successfully developed and put into production. One million Game Helmets will be sold in one month with a starting price of only 5,000 yuan.
The second batch of 200,000 Game Cabins will be released in three months.
[Hmm? The time flow ratio between reality and game is 6: 1? That means that six months in the game is only one month in reality?]
[You got it backwards. It's half a year in reality and one month in the game.]
[What kind of magical setting is this? I've only heard of accelerated thinking, but I've never heard of slowed thinking.]
[Am I the only one who saw that one million Game Helmets will be sold in one month?]
[Hahahahaha, you're not alone! I've already made a reservation. It's worth 5,000 yuan to play a holographic game!]
