"Damn, it's a monument!"
Lu Shi watched the live broadcast and couldn't help but exclaim.
Many of the players around him also had excited expressions on their faces.
A monument was undoubtedly a huge temptation to the bigshots, especially the tycoons and the liver emperors.
Even if they felt that they couldn't afford it, they would still be curious as to who would be able to leave their name in history.
After all, Star Age was the first holographic game in history, the significance of this monument was definitely extraordinary.
Let's not talk about the distant ones, just look at the NPCs in Roland.
If they could really make their name on the monument, how many NPCs would they be supported by? As long as their name was engraved on the monument, they would really become famous in the game!
Maybe there would be NPCs bowing to them wherever they went. How honorable would that be?
Anyway, Lu Shi only had to think about it to feel very good.
Also, if they could make it to the top 100, they would probably get a lot of rewards. There might even be rewards personally given by His Majesty Xiao Luo. That would be awesome!
Of course, he could only think about it.
After all, only 100 out of a million players were chosen. That was really one in a million!
For a newbie like him, he had no advantage at all. Unless he had a miracle, he wouldn't be able to win no matter how hard he worked.
When the live broadcast ended, Lu Shi continued to immerse himself in his daily missions. Not only to level up, but also to earn Exhe coins!
Exhe coins to real money had dropped from 1: 20 to 1: 15, but the price was still very good.
As long as he sold two Exhe coins, he would have earned back the money he spent on the game experience today, and there would still be some left. This was a real benefit!
Maybe he could even earn enough money to buy a gaming cabin by selling Exhe coins. He had to quickly earn more before the price dropped.
The new million players were not like the previous 100,000 players who were all tycoons. In front of huge benefits, of course they would choose to earn money first.
This would further stimulate Roland's economic development and create more material support for the defense against the Galactic Beast Horde.
Therefore, the new players also realized that they could also get contribution points from doing their daily quests in addition to Exhe Coins and Reputation Points!
Although the amount obtained was relatively small, don't forget that contribution points were linked to the land in the City of the Brave!
This meant that even if they couldn't kill the Interstellar Beast, they could still obtain some benefits. This undoubtedly stimulated their enthusiasm.
After continuous exploration, the players also discovered that apart from doing the daily missions of respecting the old and caring for the young and hunting interstellar beasts, participating in other game activities such as construction and planting could also earn them contribution points.
For example, there was a military enthusiast in real life who used materials in the game to successfully create a gun. After submitting the blueprint to the faction warehouse, he unexpectedly received a high contribution reward.
Creating in the game was already a very interesting thing. Who would have thought that they would be able to earn contribution points? This undoubtedly gave Lifestyle players a way out.
In other words, this was what Xu Sili wanted to see.
After all, the creativity of the players was limitless. He hoped to encourage the players to participate more in the construction of Roland.
After this monster horde, they would have more land. He didn't mind giving the land to the players as long as they could create value for the country.
None of the ministers had any objections to his decision. In other words, they were surprised that such a reward could make the brave warriors work so hard.
In the eyes of the nobles, a fief was indeed tempting, but it also depended on the location of the fief.
For example, the newly reclaimed land was full of devastation and was far away from the main city. The cost of farming was too high and there was not much value to speak of.
The enthusiasm of the brave warriors was really puzzling.
Perhaps only Wen Jishan and other officials who had more contact with the brave warriors could understand this point.
After all, they had seen with their own eyes that the brave warrior named Yin Xuemei was still able to grow crops in the cold winter without controlling the elements. She also generously and selflessly taught the poor people who humbly asked for guidance.
What was even more admirable and admirable was that she was able to turn the originally barren land into fertile farmland again!
This was an eye-opener for Wen Jishan.
Moreover, this girl really didn't hide anything. Now, she was leading all the poor farmers in the small village to farm together. They were all farming cash crops —
With the efforts of the Wood Elementalists, Roland was no longer lacking in food. After they had enough to eat, they naturally wanted to pursue a higher quality of life.
Wen Jishan hoped that they could have a good harvest this autumn. If this brave warrior's method proved to be effective, he would try to promote it to the whole country.
By then, it should be able to create a good economic benefit.
As for the newly reclaimed land … perhaps the brave warriors had a way to solve the problem of the flying galactic beasts?
Due to the encouragement given to the lifestyle players, the changes in the contribution ranking list were quite big.
Since the day Xu Sili announced it, the discussion of the top 100 names on the monument had been very popular on the Starry Sky Forum.
There were even posts where people started to bet on who would be in the top 100 and who would be in the top three and first place.
Among them, Qingyan and Lin Mu were undoubtedly the most popular ones.
These two had been in command and naturally received a lot of contribution points. Now, they were the only ones competing for the top spot on the contribution ranking list.
Of course, it was inevitable that some people would complain about the unfairness of the ranking list. After all, the newbies had just entered, and the 100,000 players in front of them were already too far ahead.
Even if there were many ways to earn contribution points, it would be difficult to catch up.
However, the rules of the game were like that. The newbies who entered later would progress slower than the veteran players.
Those who were able to grab the gaming helmet first had been paying attention to Star Age for a long time, so they were very clear about this.
There were still hundreds of thousands of gaming cabins waiting to be released. From another perspective, they were already ahead of the hundreds of thousands of players.
Moreover, Star Age was not like other games that encouraged PK and killing between players. Instead, it focused more on the interaction between the players and the game world, as well as the exploration of the world.
Coupled with Xu Sili's restrictions, there were not many cases of high level players bullying newbies.
There was a basic PK function — —
Players could challenge each other. Under the challenge mode, players who died would not be revived in half an hour, and their bodies would be in a semi-invisible state. Fighting would not destroy the surrounding environment.
As for the protection of newbies, it was better done.
Every time you killed a player who was five levels lower than you, a debuff would be randomly applied, including but not limited to serious injury, weakness, and hunger.
The debuff lasted for 24 hours, and it would only enter the countdown if you were online.
What was even worse was that killing players would deduct faction reputation, and if an NPC witnessed the process of you killing someone, even if the person you killed was a brave player, their favorability would also decrease.
As everyone knew, if more than three NPCs had a negative favorability towards you, you would not be able to exchange for items in the faction storage!
The system store did not sell equipment or potions, so if you wanted to increase your strength, you could only rely on the faction storage, so the favorability of NPCs was very important.
That was not the worst part. The worst part was that if you destroyed something in a fight, you would have to pay for it!
In a game like Star Age, you could create anything you wanted, and of course, there was no way to automatically repair damaged items.
Therefore, if you destroyed public property or NPC property in a fight, you would have to pay for it!
If the two people who fought did not die in the end, then they would share the responsibility, but if one of them died, then the murderer would pay for it in full.
As long as you were in Ai XueXue Star, you would not be able to escape, because once you did, you would immediately become a wanted criminal.
The player who dared to eat the first crab was caught in less than ten minutes, sentenced to seven days of detention, and still had to obediently carry bricks to pay for his debt.
Apart from deleting your account and starting over, there was no other way to go back on your word.
Therefore, there were basically no high-level players who dared to kill in the main city. As for whether they would kill in the wild in the future, that was hard to say.
After all, there were all kinds of birds in the sea, and players were a group of people who were best at taking advantage of loopholes.
In addition, if you really hated a player, and the player avoided you and refused to fight, then you could buy a life or death order from the system store and force the player to PK.
In this case, you could also choose the arena mode.
After entering the arena, all players in the server would receive an invitation, and if they accepted, they would be able to enter the arena to watch the battle, and they could even place bets on who would win in the end.
When this setting was discovered, everyone could not help but complain that the game team really knew how to make money!
Roland was like an old machine that was rejuvenated after more than a million players joined, and it was running faster and faster every second.
With the threat of the Star Beast Horde hanging over their heads, they could clearly feel that the atmosphere had become tense.
And just as Xu Sili expected, under this pressure, the number of Elementalists who achieved breakthroughs increased day by day.
And against the Star Beast Horde, with the help of the collective wisdom, the players also discovered various tricks.
For example, closing the door and beating the dogs —
The reason why the previous line of defense collapsed was that there were too many Star Beasts outside the line of defense, which led to the accumulation of energy in the end.
Now, they would choose to let some of the Star Beasts in, and then choose the right time to throw out the corpses of the Star Beasts to block the entrance. When the Star Beasts that were let in were killed, the Star Beasts that were blocked on the other side would have rushed in.
Then, they would repeat the same operation.
Of course, this would not be able to stop all the Star Beasts — after all, Roland was vast, and it was impossible to build such a long line of defense in a short period of time.
Fortunately, they had enough manpower now, so they could split the defense. Moreover, they had Xu Sili's Balance Cards, which often played a huge role in critical moments, and reduced the casualty rate to a minimum.
Therefore, although the country was panicking because of the Star Beast Horde, the situation at the front line was actually quite optimistic.
Therefore, Xu Sili put his thoughts on other things.
Li Hai Plains, somewhere in the forest.
A sneaky figure shuttled between the trees and finally got into a hidden cave. After confirming that no one was following him, he took off his hood and mask, revealing an old face full of wrinkles.
This person was Bryce, the traitor Elder who planned to destroy Orchid City's Guardian Array.
After he successfully escaped, he had been hiding. He originally planned to sneak to other main cities to seek protection from organizations, but who knew that all the main cities had built teleportation portals and achieved communication.
Then, the organizations in the main cities were dealt a devastating blow.
Bryce did not dare to contact anyone. He originally wanted to develop a few Bravehearts, but these Bravehearts were like monkeys and were not tempted at all.
The most infuriating thing was that ever since the little Emperor announced on TV that the Star Beast Horde was a conspiracy of the Bevat Empire, he had been unable to move around in Roland.
Those Bravehearts who were originally a little opportunistic began to plot against him.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and escaped from the city.
Bryce thought about his current situation and could not help but feel regret.
Now that everything in Roland seemed to be improving, his choice to seek refuge with the Bevat Empire was not a good one.
But it was hard to say …
After all, the Star Beast Horde was coming soon!
Thinking about this, Bryce gritted his teeth and turned on the communication device, trying to contact the leader, Arnold.
Since the last time in Orchid City, he had not contacted anyone from the Bevat Empire. Unexpectedly, as soon as the communication request was sent out, it was immediately picked up!
The figure of the Lizard Man appeared on the screen, it was Arnold.
Bryce hurriedly bowed to him.
He was one of the few people who could contact Arnold. As for why the Lizard Man Leader, who had been disappointed in Bryce before, accepted the call this time, it was because — —
The Bevat Empire's intelligence system in Roland was almost gone!
Arnold urgently needed to know what happened in Roland. When he heard from Bryce that his people had launched the Star Beast Horde ahead of time, he could not help but feel surprised.
He did not give this order …
And when he learned that the Senos had returned to Roland, he suddenly understood something.
Arnold's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, he looked past Bryce and cast his gaze behind him, his pupils constricting.
He saw a figure silently appear behind Bryce.
That person had blonde hair and gray-blue eyes coldly looked at him, making the arrogant Arnold unable to help but hold his breath.
And Bryce did not have the chance to turn back.
The moment the man appeared, his body directly burned. He did not even have the time to scream in pain before he was turned into ashes. Only the communication device was left, which was caught by the man.
"Si Sheng!" Arnold gritted his teeth and glared at him, "It's you again!"
But soon, he controlled his emotions and said, "Si Sheng, with your strength and wisdom, you should know what the best choice is."
"Roland is not worthy of your protection."
Si Sheng looked at him indifferently.
Arnold thought for a moment and continued, "Roland will not be able to resist this Star Beast Horde. It's only a matter of time before it is destroyed."
"I still say the same thing. When that time comes, the Bevat Empire will still be willing to open its doors for you!"
Hearing this, Si Sheng's expression finally changed a little.
He seemed to be a little surprised, but in the end, he nodded and said, "Well, then you wait."
Arnold did not expect Si Sheng to answer like this! He could not help but feel ecstatic. Did he succeed in instigating a rebellion?
