The sun rose slowly from the east. Sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the streets of the border town.
Shops opened one after another, and people began a new day.
Xu Yuheng and Bai Feng walked on the streets.
They had just bought fresh milk from the market and swept through the bakery. Now, they were carrying enough food to feed a dozen people for a day and walking towards the warehouse.
When they came online in the morning, they saw ten Elementalists looking at them with resentful eyes. Xu Yuheng then remembered that these NPCs also needed to eat.
He hurriedly ran out to buy rations for the instructors.
There was only bread and milk. They had to make do with it. There were no decent breakfast shops in this remote village.
When they returned to the warehouse, the two distributed the bread and boiled fresh milk.
"Compared to milk, I prefer soy milk. There are also buns and youtiao. Steamed buns with some condensed milk are good too."
Bai Feng also drank a cup of milk. He did not touch the bread. The coarse bread was hard and tasteless. Although it could replenish energy, he did not like it.
"What's soy milk? Youtiao and steamed buns? "
When Endis heard his words, she could not help but be interested. "Is it the food from the Heroes' hometown?"
Bai Feng grinned. "Yes, soy milk and youtiao are a perfect match! Some people even wrote it in love songs. "
The young man was handsome. When he smiled, it was like a small sun. It was clean and refreshing. People could not help but want to talk to him more.
Xu Yuheng watched from the side and shook his head. He continued to count the players who would be rolling over today.
"I see."
Endis tore the coarse bread in her hand and looked at him. "If there's a chance, I really want to try the food from the Heroes' world. It must be delicious."
At the same time, she was also very curious. What kind of world could nurture a race full of Elementalists?
"Hehe, if there's a chance!"
Bai Feng drank a few mouthfuls of milk and poured another cup for Xu Yuheng.
Seeing Xu Yuheng drinking absent-mindedly, he rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Yu, if we open a restaurant, will it become popular?"
Xu Yuheng heard this and could not help but look at him.
Holding the milk, Bai Feng said whimsically, "This game is so realistic. If it's delicious, it could even become a gimmick."
"There are so many foodies in real life, but there are many who are afraid of getting fat. If they knew that the food in the game was delicious and wouldn't get fat, would they still be worried that no one would come?"
Xu Yuheng couldn't help but pause.
In fact, he hadn't really thought about how to run this game before because all his thoughts were on Snow Roland, Xiao Li's substitute.
After entering the game, all she wanted to do was to meet him in the Imperial City.
However, this game concerned the future of the Xu family.
Now that he had met Xiao Li, his thoughts and emotions were no longer as extreme as before. He could also understand some of his older brother's actions.
Now, almost all of the Xu family's burdens were on his shoulders. After Xiao Li's plane crash, his father had been hospitalized for a period of time because of a heart attack and had retired five years ago.
In order not to agitate him, the company didn't dare to tell him a lot of things, and this game was the same.
His older brother had always been silent and took all the responsibility by himself. If it wasn't for his assistant, Xu Yuheng might not have known that Lin Hua and the other old foxes had forced him to abdicate.
He had been obsessed with the game during this time, and in his older brother's eyes, he was probably not doing his job properly. Plus, he had "poked" a hole in the game that affected the progress of the game and became the enemy's target.
Bai Feng's words reminded Xu Yuheng of something.
In addition to helping his younger brother protect the country, improving the experience of the players was also something he should do at the moment.
After all, a game was a game. The Xu family had invested so much money, so they should get a return. How to attract players and how to earn money from them also needed to be carefully considered.
Based on his experience so far, the game was a good game, but the gameplay was not mature enough. The game team was probably mostly involved in scientific research, so many things were a bit too idealistic.
For example, as far as he knew, Star Age did not plan to open up the game top-up service.
They were worried that it would affect the currency system in the game and cause the economy to collapse, so they did not plan to open up the top-up service.
Xu Yuheng did not agree with this. No game company would do this.
However, this was a problem that needed to be solved at least until the open beta. Now that the game team and the Xu family were arguing, there would definitely be a solution later.
With the quality of Star Age, Xu Yuheng believed that once the portable gaming helmet was released, it would definitely become a phenomenal game.
Now that there was still time, maybe he could make some improvements.
"You're right." Xu Yuheng nodded. "This is a very good idea."
Bai Feng, who was praised, suddenly laughed.
"Do you have any other ideas about the game?" Xu Yuheng asked.
"I have a lot of ideas."
Bai Feng sat down next to him and said, "Elementalists are so powerful! Not only can they fly, but they also have other skills that you can't even imagine. "
Xu Yuheng was seriously listening to his opinion when he suddenly felt something wrapped around his waist. His heart skipped a beat, and when he looked down, he saw a vine wrapped around his waist.
Under his gaze, the vine wrapped around him and slowly lifted him about one centimeter off the ground.
Because the realism was lowered, he did not feel any pain even if he was tightly bound. He looked up and saw Bai Feng looking at him with a harmless and innocent smile.
"Brother Yu, look, is it fun?"
Xu Yuheng pushed the glasses that slid down his nose and released two Wind Blades, cutting the vine in half.
"I'm serious, stop fooling around," he said as he stepped on the ground.
Bai Feng pouted and continued, "This feeling of releasing magic is very fun, but the game doesn't advertise this at all, and it doesn't seem to pay much attention to it.
"Right now, I'm very interested in the wind element Light Body Spell, but unfortunately, I chose the wood element … Brother Yu, hurry up and learn Light Body Spell, or Flight Spell, then take me to show off and fly!"
Xu Yuheng looked at him and couldn't help but smile and say, "Maybe, we can shoot a promotional video for the game together."
Bai Feng blinked and was a little confused.
"Why would we do that? Starry Sky is such a big game company, don't tell me they don't have money to advertise? When the open beta is released, there will definitely be overwhelming advertising and marketing, and the whole world will see it. Do they still need us to be their water supply? "
Xu Yuheng couldn't help but cough.
They really … didn't have money.
This game really burned money, and the Xu family had spent hundreds of billions, where would they have the money to invest in advertising now?
Previously, because of Xiao Li's appearance on the hot search, it was actually a surprise. Although the company gave a small push, it didn't spend a lot of money.
He thought about it and said, "I received inside information that Starry Sky might be holding a promotional video contest, so … I want to try it."
"Contest?" Bai Feng was suddenly interested. "What are the rewards?"
"Currently … I'm not sure."
"I see." Bai Feng scratched his head and became excited again. "Okay then, let's start preparing first, and when the time comes, we'll be the champion!"
Seeing that he got away with it, Xu Yuheng sighed in relief and nodded with a smile. "Okay."
Then, he looked at the number of people online in the mercenary group, and it just so happened that all of them were here.
Now that the 24-hour cooldown was over, he shouted in the channel and gathered the last group of players from the same city.
Xu Yuheng also gathered them once yesterday, and the teachers were already immune to the strange racial skills of the heroes.
At this moment, they were eating bread and drinking milk until —
A player ran up to one of the instructors excitedly. Just as he was about to greet him, the instructor spat out all the milk in his mouth with a 'puff'.
The player couldn't dodge in time and was sprayed all over his face. Just as he glared angrily, a female instructor next to him screamed.
"Ghost … ghost!"
Then she screamed and fainted.
The 48 players that were gathered today included 32 Imperial City players who died during the escort and were resurrected in the central town.
This was the plan that Xu Yuheng and Qingyan came up with after discussing it.
At this moment, the 10 instructors who were surrounded by more than 30 old acquaintances were obviously in a very bad mood.
After a moment of silence, the scene suddenly became chaotic as if someone had pressed the start button.
After the female instructor fainted, one of the frightened instructors attacked the Player who appeared in front of him with a grin, preparing to scare him and give him a surprise.
"Flying Dagger!"
A metal-type skill instantly appeared, and a sharp dagger appeared in mid-air and directly pierced the player's abdomen.
-3000！
A bloody critical damage value appeared above the player's head, and his HP bar was instantly emptied.
Before he could react to what had happened, he fell straight to the ground with his eyes wide open.
"Ahhh, ghost, don't come over!"
Another female instructor screamed, and a small mound appeared above everyone's head, and when it fell, it buried two players on the spot.
Xu Yuheng was stunned by this scene.
He thought that the players were already quite cruel, but he didn't expect the NPCs to be even crueler.
However, after the initial shock, he quickly ordered in the channel, "Everyone, spread out! Don't go near the NPCs! "
The players who were stunned by this unforeseen event subconsciously ran in all directions when they heard the order.
'Damn, these NPCs are crazy!'
What was supposed to be a warm reunion had suddenly turned into a horrifying murder scene.
Of course, only a few of the instructors reacted too strongly. Endis was the first to calm down, and she hurriedly stopped the instructor who was about to cast a skill.
Fortunately, they were all half-star players, and they were out of magic after casting two skills.
"Dean Endis, what's going on …"
The female instructor who buried the two players alive had tears in her eyes, as if she wasn't the one who had just buried the players alive.
Actually, it was just a subconscious action, and her Mound was usually not able to kill people. Who would have thought that this "Brave Ghost" would be so fragile?
As for the metal-type instructor who released the sharp blade, he finally calmed down when he saw the bloody wound of the player on the ground. He understood that what he just faced was not a ghost that ambushed him.
When he saw the player's face clearly, he recalled how the Brave Ghost sacrificed himself for them on the road to Orchid City. This instructor was panicked and regretful.
He hurriedly ran over and reached out to check the player's breath.
"Ahhh — Dean Endis … What should I do? I killed someone … I killed the Brave Ghost, and I even taught him a skill … Ahhh, I didn't want to kill him … "
The instructor hugged the player's body and cried loudly, "I only stabbed his stomach, I didn't expect him to be so weak … He suddenly jumped out to scare me, I thought he was a ghost that wanted to attack me …"
For a moment, only the young instructor's cries could be heard in the huge warehouse.
The players who had already scattered and found cover didn't know whether to laugh or cry when they saw this scene.
In midair, the three players who were killed on the spot were in the state of ghosts.
The player who was hugging the body couldn't help but curse, "F * ck, you killed me and you're still complaining, you're the f * cking weak!"
"Idiot, don't hug me and cry, your snot is on my face! I'm going to revive later! "
Although the other two players felt that they were wronged, they didn't expect the seemingly weak female instructor to be so cruel, but there was no harm without comparison.
Looking at the hopping player, they kindly reminded him, "Brother, he can't hear you if you curse like this, you might as well send a private message to Yu Shen and ask him to help you get the body back."
Only then did the player remember and hurriedly sent a private message to Xu Yuheng.
Receiving the private message, Xu Yuheng was also speechless.
He didn't hide too far away. After the instructors calmed down, he walked out, and the other players followed him stealthily.
Endis was flustered by the crying of the metal-element instructor, and then she saw the players who followed Xu Yuheng, most of whom were familiar faces.
She couldn't help but ask, "Can … can you really revive?"
The players all nodded. They had a good impression of Endis on the way here.
"That's right. Didn't I tell you guys before?"
"Yes, we can revive, I told you 800 times, but you didn't believe me, and now you're hurting people!"
Everyone was helpless about this blunder, but at the same time, they increasingly felt that the NPCs in this game were too intelligent.
In this blunder, the three players were the most unlucky ones. They lost EXP for nothing and had to be ghosts for 30 minutes.
Endis's words woke the instructors up, especially the metal-element and metal-element instructors who had just subconsciously attacked.
"Can they be revived too?"
The female instructor pointed at the corpses of the dead players and asked timidly. She didn't look like someone who had just hit people with a mound.
This contrast was recorded by some of the players.
They would have to stay away from her in the future!
Of course, there were also some who found it to their liking. At the beginning, there were even players who came to record this ridiculous and hilarious scene. They were going to edit it and upload it to the forum.
Who would have thought that these gentle-looking NPC instructors would be so ruthless when they beat people up?
Faced with the female instructor's question, Xu Yuheng considerately didn't keep her in suspense. He gave an affirmative answer. "Sure, wait for half an hour."
All the instructors heaved a sigh of relief.
Although it was a little awkward because of the scene just now, who told the players to be a bunch of heartless people? They weren't the ones who died, so it was fun to watch the show!
The instructors wanted to put away the corpses of the three accidentally killed players, but someone started to stand in front of the corpses and take pictures with them.
The two players who were buried alive by the mound received special attention. Although they were covered in blood, from the perspective of the players, the ground was covered in golden liquid, and it was very beautiful to look at!
"Those who want to take pictures, do it before they are revived."
"Haha, I just recorded a video. I'll edit this close-up later. Let's see how these three unlucky guys are killed by the NPC in one hit!"
The three ghosts in midair were displeased at once.
Unfortunately, they couldn't talk in the channel, so they had to shout on the forum. They charged for taking pictures!
It was noisy and noisy, but the crusade against the game company on the page died down a little.
In addition to taking pictures, there were also players from the metal and earth classes who surrounded the two instructors enthusiastically, saying that they wanted to learn the two moves just now.
Flying Blade!
Mound Technique!
This is so cool! We must learn this godly PK skill!
In the end, the instructors were numb.
You never know what the brave ones would do that would make you dumbfounded, but in their eyes, it was natural.
Generally speaking, the brave ones were quite to their liking. Although they were a little ridiculous, they could be trusted at critical moments.
So … they just had to get used to it.
Xu Yuheng found Endis. The young dean was still in a state of shock.
Other than being an Elementalist, they could revive infinitely!
Although their strength was slightly weaker, the ability to revive infinitely could make up for it.
Endis felt her hair stand on end. Looking at the laughing brave ones around her, she didn't dare to look down on them anymore. Instead, there was an indescribable seriousness in the depths of her eyes.
The brave ones could only be roped in, not offended!
She had to report this important news to the Royal Family, to the Guardian God!
At this moment, she heard the young man who had been helping them say, "Dean Endis, can I have a word with you?"
Endis, who had just been shocked, dared not refuse at this moment. She quickly nodded, "Okay."
When she heard Xu Yuheng ask her to keep the news that the players could revive a secret for now, Endis couldn't help but be vigilant.
However, Xu Yuheng was a smart person. He saw through her thoughts and immediately told her about the traitor in Orchid City.
Endis couldn't help but be stunned.
She, who had always stayed in the academy to cultivate and study, never thought that someone would betray the country.
"Why would they betray the country? What good would it do them? If they betrayed the Empire, who would they be loyal to? Could it be that they want to establish their own country? "
Endis asked a lot of questions in a row. Obviously, she didn't believe Xu Yuheng's words.
"For now, this is still a military secret."
Xu Yuheng said in a deep voice, "When this operation is over, maybe you can get the relevant information from the military, Ms. Endis.
But before that, please keep it a secret for now. Otherwise, if the traitor changes the plan based on our characteristics, I'm afraid Orchid City will be in great trouble. "
Endis bit her lip and finally agreed.
Before she left, Xu Yuheng said kindly, "I won't make you wait too long. Please be patient."
Endis only nodded and then walked back in a daze.
At this moment, Xu Yuheng's communication device rang.
It was a message from Xiao Wu.
The eighth traitor was finally exposed. But when he saw the specific information of that person, Xu Yuheng's face became solemn again.
He didn't know this eighth traitor, but … she was a two-star Elementalist.
Together with the Wind Elementalist William, this was already the second two-star traitor! One must know that there were only six two-star Elementalists in Orchid City …
Xu Yuheng sighed. This spy movie … If it wasn't Xiao Wu, who would have thought of it?
He checked the latest plan of the traitor leader, Bryce.
They were originally scheduled to act tonight, but they postponed the plan to the night of the day after tomorrow.
This gave them time.
Xu Yuheng didn't intend to let the players continue to go offline and waste time. His current team, including the people in the Imperial City, already had more than a hundred people.
Although they were all elites, the team still needed to get used to each other.
So, he told the consul to let his people go out of Orchid City and farm monsters in the wild to level up!
When they were outside, they could use Elementalist skills more boldly and not be afraid of exposing their strength.
The archon was perplexed by this proposal. It was too dangerous, and he refused without hesitation.
But Xu Yuheng had the Emperor's protection. After the consul refused, he soon received an order from the Imperial City —
Listen to this brave man called Jade Tree in the Wind and try to satisfy all his requests as much as possible.
The consul had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Xu Yuheng was naturally happy about his brother's protection. He didn't take these hundred people out to show off. Instead, he asked the consul to send people to the border town to search in the name of arresting the traitor —
Since the traitor already knew that the secret was leaked, it would be unreasonable if the army didn't take action at all.
Coincidentally, there were warriors from the escort team who acted as manpower. Then, they drove a few hover cars and transported all the "suspects" away, while the players mixed in.
When they arrived at the military camp, they left Orchid City secretly with the consul's cooperation.
This whole team was made up of players, so they didn't have to worry about their own people's antics.
A few of the players from the Imperial City gathered together and talked about the unlucky fifth team.
"Captain Lee seems to have gone to pick them up. He'll probably arrive in the afternoon, right? Should we meet up with them? "
They discussed with Xu Yuheng. On the other side, Lieutenant Colonel Lee Lai had successfully crossed the iron chain bridge of the Nyria River and reached the other side.
At this moment, he was anxiously searching the shore and the forest alone, but the result made his face turn pale.
The fifth team …
Everyone was missing! All communication devices were lost!
