"The second group needs reinforcements. Light Healers, follow up!"
"Earth Mages, pay attention to fortifying the walls. You only have one mission, and that is to hold the walls! Hold on until noon. Someone will come online to replace you! "
"Mages at the back, don't slack off. Replenish your mana to maintain your status. I don't think I need to remind you again, right?"
"DPS, don't split up. Concentrate your firepower!"
Gentle Yan shouted with all her might in the team channel.
After commanding for almost 40 hours, even if she did not feel tired physically, her mind could not take it anymore.
"Qingyan, hold on for a while. I'm going offline. I'll come back as soon as possible."
At this time, Lin Mu's voice sounded in the group channel. Qingyan could not help but curse.
As competitors, the two of them usually did not get along. However, after Lin Mu came online last night, it did reduce a lot of pressure for her.
Now, at this critical time when there were fewer and fewer players available, this guy was actually going to leave?
Qingyan was flustered and exasperated.
The current situation was completely different from when there were fewer players. In a group battle, the most important thing was the momentum. If there were fewer and fewer people, it would be more and more boring. It could easily cause a collapse in morale and result in a crushing defeat in the end!
She did not believe that the experienced commander Lin Mu did not understand this principle.
"Can't you ask for leave?" Qingyan could not help but yell at him.
Lin Mu said apologetically, "I'm really busy these two days. I'm sorry. Hold on a little longer. I just saw the new announcement."
"What new announcement?"
"After 24 hours, the game time and reality time will be adjusted to 1: 6. In other words, one hour in the game and six hours in reality."
Lin Mu explained to her, "At that time, there will not be a situation where most of the team leaders are not online."
Of course, this measure could only provide a temporary relief.
Assuming that office workers and students could spend half of their time in Star Age every day, there would be a situation where a large number of people would not be online every two hours.
Therefore, the most important point of this announcement was —
"A month in reality, which is six days later, there will be an additional one million players. As long as we hold on until then, our chances of winning will greatly increase."
Qingyan did not feel relieved at all.
"Are you f * cking saying that this monster horde will last for a week? Are you kidding me? "
"Qingyan, this is going to be a long battle."
Lin Mu patiently analyzed the situation for her. "The Beast Tide this time was so sudden and there were no signs at all. Obviously, it was out of the government's expectations. Moreover, the Beast Tide this time is extremely dangerous. Otherwise, the government wouldn't have taken such emergency measures."
"Four years ago in the game, there was a very serious monster horde that lasted for more than a month."
"I've seen some of the videos left behind by the NPCs. The scale is similar to this one, so we need to be mentally prepared."
Qingyan really wanted to say that he was spouting nonsense, but Lin Mu's words did sound very reasonable.
She felt even more pressure.
Qingyan took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Alright, hurry up and scram. Come back quickly!"
"Okay, I'll be back around 7 pm. Hang in there."
After that, Lin Mu went offline.
Qingyan cursed in a low voice and threw herself back into the battle.
In the game, discussions about the new announcement were also in full swing on the forums.
The pros and cons of the adjustment of the flow of time in the game and in real life had been discussed repeatedly, and most of the people on the forums supported it.
Especially those who were still waiting for the Game Helmet and Game Cabin.
Although the waiting time in real life was the same, when they entered the game, they would not be so far behind the players in front of them!
Everyone watched the live broadcast. Defending the city was tough, but the benefits were also considerable.
In less than a day's time, the average level of the players in the game had increased by two to three levels. The higher level players had also increased by one level!
With such a huge increase, if they missed this wave, it would be very difficult to catch up. Therefore, this decision not only had no impact on them, but it was also profitable!
Therefore, how could they not support such a good thing?
The government had just released a quota of one million Game Helmets, and they were all sold out in just half a day. All the players who paid successfully would receive the real thing one month later.
The orders for the Game Cabin did not decrease but increased, and there were no cancellations.
Unlike the Game Helmets, the Game Cabin accepted reservations and did not reject anyone, but it required a high deposit.
This was enough to show the popularity of the Star Age.
As for the players who already had the Game Gear, they had a strong reaction at first, but after reading all kinds of analysis, they finally accepted this measure.
After all, not everyone was so free that they could stay in the game all day long.
They had to go to work, study, and socialize, but they were also worried about the game.
However, when they finally finished their trip and rushed back, they realized that the battle was already over and they had even lost. Anyone who had experienced that would know how it felt.
At this time, they even hoped that the game could be paused and they could continue when they returned. However, this was obviously unrealistic.
Although the flow of time was changed to 1: 6, which meant that the time they spent in the game had decreased, they were originally using sleep to play the game.
If they could use this to win the city defense battle, it could be considered a strategy. For the players, as long as they could win, it was reasonable to use any strategy.
Moreover, the announcement had the word 'temporarily', so everyone guessed that it would be adjusted back when the Game Helmets were released.
Many people could not help but guess that since the game company could slow down the thinking, could they also speed up the thinking?
Wouldn't it be awesome if one hour in reality and six hours in the game? They could even use the strategy of slowing down during the day and speeding up at night.
This way, they would not have to worry about not being in the game during the day and not being able to keep up with the game's progress. They could also enjoy six times more entertainment time at night!
Seeing such a suggestion, the game team could only smile bitterly.
Although they did not find any problems with the test data for the time being, they were not confident that this kind of adjustment would not cause harm to the human body at all.
Not to mention, this adjustment was made on the same day.
Regarding the new announcement, the ones with the most opinions were the viewers and streamers in the live-stream channel.
For a streamer like Little Vegetable, who treated live-streaming as her main job, such an adjustment was simply a bolt from the blue for her, directly destroying the cornerstone of her career.
However, the game company did not sign a contract with the streamers, so they had no obligation or responsibility to the streamers. They also had no way to complain.
Therefore, no matter how mentally devastated the streamers were, they could only choose to adjust and adapt.
Fortunately, the game company was not inhumane. Seeing that the streamers played a role in promoting the game, the game company compensated these full-time streamers and provided live game recording tutorials.
The Starry Sky Forum's reality section was also opened at the same time, and related activities were organized. The reward settings were very attractive.
All these actions finally calmed the resentment of the streamers, and firmly stabilized the reputation of Star Age.
Therefore, after the official release of a few videos, the viewers could understand why this was done —
It was a surveillance video when the game was closed. It could be seen that the playback was sped up or slowed down according to the normal speed. Under such circumstances, there was no way to live-stream at all.
What the players did not know was that there were about 100 Star Age experience stores all over the country that were in preparation. They would be opened at the same time on the day that the one million gaming helmets were officially released.
The experience stores would be open 24 hours a day, and they would only provide services related to Star Age. The gaming helmets in the experience stores would not be bound and could be used by more than one person.
Although Xu Yuheng considered directly investing in various internet cafes, with the popularity of Star Age, no internet cafe owner would refuse.
However, after using the gaming helmet to enter Star Age, the user would also enter a deep sleep state, which required a high level of security for the environment.
In order to avoid accidents, and with the fact that he had sufficient funds, he finally decided not to invest in the game for the time being.
All the arrangements in reality were in full swing, but in the game, the tug of war between the players and the galactic beasts continued.
This battle could be considered tragic.
Almost every player had died at least once, and the players who were at the forefront had died more than ten times.
Fortunately, the resurrection rules were adjusted a few days ago —
As long as the players died in the battle with the galactic beasts, they could choose to resurrect at the spawn point, which would not be limited by the resurrection time limit.
Therefore, after the galactic beasts attacked the high wall, the teleportation portals lit up one after another, and there were constantly players who ran back to their corpses. Then, they were buffed by the wind element players near the teleportation portals.
Under the effect of the Light Body Skill, they could return to the battlefield faster.
"Motherf * cker, how long is this going to last?"
Inside the wall, a player drank a health potion and complained while attacking the galactic beasts outside through the small window on the wall.
Since noon yesterday, he had been online for almost twenty hours.
The game was fun, and it was real, but this kind of continuous concentration and repetitive operation was a test of one's willpower after a long time.
"Hold on a little longer, someone will change shifts at noon, and we'll just have to wait for the game flow to adjust later."
Someone said.
When the time came, they would be online for an hour or two before going offline to change shifts, and they would probably be back to normal after this wave of galactic beasts.
"Boom!"
The wall shook again, and the player who complained just now lost half of his HP again, and he had to drink the last health potion.
Looking out from the small window in front of them, the battlefield was a mess.
There were just too many galactic beasts, and there was no tank that could tank or hold their aggro, so they could only rely on the wall for cover.
However, the shaking from the wall and the attacks from the galactic beasts through the small window were still too much for them.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to throw a bomb!"
At this time, a player pushed someone away and took out a bomb from his backpack.
"Why don't you throw it up there? Why are you taking my spot? "
"Hehe, it's too dangerous up there, I can't hold on. It's safer to throw it here."
As he spoke, the player had already controlled the bomb that he had just made to fly out of the small window — he was probably a Wind Elementalist, and he could control objects to fly.
Boom — boom —
"Roar!!!"
The oil fire outside was still burning, and the bomb exploded without even needing to be ignited.
The player didn't stay idle. He threw out one bomb after another as if they were free, killing an Interstellar Beast in one shot.
"You're so cool with throwing bombs!"
"It's also very dangerous! You accidentally blew yourself up, sigh, there's no more bombs. "
The Wind Elementalists started throwing Wind Blades outside. They did not go to the Elementalist College to study, so the spells they knew were the most basic ones, and their damage was not high.
"Sigh, this battle is going to be hard, I feel like the third line of defense won't be able to hold on for much longer."
"Just hold on a little longer, even if we die, we have to bite off a piece of meat from the galactic beasts!"
The Starship was suspended in mid-air, and the players did not notice its presence.
Xu Sili looked at the players below who were still holding on, and he could not help but feel moved. These players had actually delayed the Beast Tide by one day.
Roland's border was surrounded by tall mountains on both sides, and the Town of the Brave happened to be at the exit, blocking most of the Beast Tide's army.
However, Xu Sili still did not intend to make a move.
Once he made a move, it would be an endless battle, and he finally had a chance to rest, so he did not want to dig a hole for himself.
Perhaps it was because after Senos and Sirene were rescued, his mentality had unknowingly changed, and today's battle had also shown him the possibilities of the players.
Looking at the players below who were still fighting hard, Xu Sili decided to adjust his battle plan.
He took out the card making materials from the space capsule. Many of the card making materials had been lost, but the one he wanted to make was coincidentally available.
Xu Sili held his breath and entered a focused state.
After about two hours, a brand new card appeared in front of him.
[Card (Balance)]
Level: Three Stars
Description: Skill-type card, not worried about scarcity but uneven distribution. You can choose a team, and the damage received by the team members will be evenly distributed to the other members of the team. Lasts for 30 minutes.
Creator: Snow Roland
Looking at this card, Xu Sili smiled with satisfaction, then set the conditions and threw it into the faction storage.
In the sky, a giant firebird flapped its wings and flew over the high wall, spitting flames that scorched the wall, roasting the players hiding behind the wall alive.
"Water, Rainstorm!"
Qingyan roared in the channel, feeling that she could not hold on any longer.
At this moment —
[Ding ~ You have continuously commanded the team in battle in the game for more than 48 hours, and have achieved amazing results. You have been awarded the title "Commander", and can receive rewards from the faction storage.]
Qingyan was stunned. Commander? Title? What kind of reward could this title give?
She frowned. Although she did not have much hope, she still opened the faction storage to take a look, then …
She could not help but be stunned.
Looking at the card in front of her, looking at the card's attributes and introduction, Qingyan was so excited that she could not help but jump up and down.
It was His Majesty Xiao Luo's Balance!
Ahhh, it was the godly skill that could balance damage!
Qingyan was about to cry. This was too timely! She announced that from today onwards, His Majesty Xiao Luo was her idol!
But there was a problem soon. This card …
How should I use it?
As soon as this question appeared in her mind, Qingyan felt that there was a strange power in this card, guiding her spirit to wrap around the card.
Then —
[Ding ~ You have successfully used the card [Balance], please choose a team to use it on.]
Damn, I succeeded just like that!
