Chapter 9: Skyrocketing popularity, skyrocketing lifespan
"Is this the Kingdom of the God of Death?"
"This game is so realistic! The texture of the building materials is so real! It's way better than other games!"
"Fuck, what a huge and eerie hall. Is that guy with the sickle the Grim Reaper?"
"I heard that the Grim Reaper is the only NPC in this game."
Xu Xiaofan stood in front of the steps of the Hall of Death, facing a large crowd of players. The way they were commenting on him made Xu Xiaofan feel a little uncomfortable and a little strange.
"Is this what it feels like when an NPC is being discussed?"
Xu Xiaofan silently savored this feeling.
This group of players would never have imagined that not long ago, the Grim Reaper in front of them was actually a human being on Earth just like them.
A few little girls ran over curiously and reached out to touch Xu Xiaofan's sickle.
They had never seen such a lifelike Grim Reaper before. It looked so terrifying and scary. The black cloak and the sharp sickle, everything was so real!
Several male players were itching to go up and touch it.
"God's majesty cannot be violated at will!"
Xu Xiaofan couldn't help it, so he asked the Godhead to issue a warning message, which stopped the players from touching out of curiosity.
"Wow, the battle of gods is really magnificent! The angels are really beautiful too!"
"You lackey, we are the undead! We want to kill angels!"
"Can't you just grab a few angels as wives?"
"Brother, you have a lot of ideas."
“I feel like this is another film company that was delayed by games. Even the tutorial for beginners has a sense of blockbuster movies.”
Dozens of players stood at the entrance of the Hall of Death, discussing the memories of the war of gods that they had just seen, and from time to time they expressed their unsatisfied feelings and comments.
"Make way, those in the queue in front, please make way, so the newbies can go in and do the novice tutorial mission!"
"Don't block the way, make way, the baptism is over, we need to upgrade quickly!"
The lively scene in front of the Hall of Death made Xu Xiaofan particularly pleased.
He has cancelled the baptism process of talking to every player. If he were to receive so many players one by one, he would be very busy.
Simply let the Godhead issue novice tasks, guide the players to enter the Hall of Death in order, receive the baptism of faith, and then become qualified believers to go to another world to fight.
"Among the first five players, there must be one or more who have some means and background in reality, otherwise it would not be so easy to gather so many players in a short period of time."
In just less than an hour, thousands of people had entered the Kingdom of God, completed their baptism, and then entered the copy world to slaughter the magic bunny rabbits.
This made Xu Xiaofan very pleased and excited.
He learned through the divine power that most of the invitation codes filled out by the players were the invitation codes of the previous five players, although the accumulated task rewards issued by the invitation codes amounted to a free life point reward.
But compared to the benefits brought by this group of players, these rewards are insignificant.
Thousands of skeleton soldiers invaded the continent of Esk and slaughtered the magic bunny rabbits in the forest.
Although many skeleton soldiers cannot kill the Magic Rabbit due to their poor skills, most of the skeleton soldiers can still easily kill the Magic Bunny if they form teams and fight together.
Even if players are unfamiliar with the game, they will become familiar with the operations after dying a few times.
As long as the level is high enough, killing the Magic Bunny alone is not a problem at all.
However, what gives players a headache is not the problem that the novice monster Magic Bunny is too powerful.
Soon, five hours later, new problems arose.
"No more rabbits!"
"This game is so BT, the monsters refresh so slowly!"
"There are too many people, and I can't even grab the monsters!"
The continent of Esk is a real world. There is no possibility of Warcraft being refreshed and resurrected on the spot after death. In the forest of nature, Warcraft are also creatures born by their parents and it takes time for them to grow up.
But the army of skeleton soldiers formed by the players was like a swarm of locusts. Within a few hours, thousands of magic bouncing rabbits near the plane entrance were slaughtered!
The magic bouncing rabbit was exterminated!
Just at this time.
A player named [If the author doesn’t update, I’ll kill him] consulted the Godhead system and received feedback.
[Dear players, hello. "Death Scourge" is a very realistic 100% virtual game. All copies are open worlds, and all biological trajectories try their best to follow the rules of nature. There is no setting for monster refresh in this game. ]
If the author doesn't update, he will be slashed: "So what you mean is that the monsters in this game will be born and grow like normal creatures?"
【Your understanding is completely correct. 】
He was shocked when the author didn't update the article, and he quickly spoke on the world channel to inform everyone of his discovery.
Boil bones into soup: "If the monsters don't refresh, how can we level up?"
E Wang Wuqian: "It seems that we can only look for other monsters. Brothers, head deeper into the forest!"
Laozi said: "Buy Magical Jumping Bunnies from all servers! 10 bunnies can live for a day!"
The legendary normal person: "You guys are talking too fast. You've flooded the screen with messages. By the way, I seem to have heard that someone wants to buy the Magic Hopping Rabbit? Do you want to eat rabbit meat?"
Laozi said: "I won't eat it. I suspect that the setting that monsters cannot be refreshed is related to the possibility of opening a home system in the future, allowing players to breed monsters themselves, and then harvest materials and experience points! So I want to stock up in advance."
This user has become immortal: "Brother, what you said makes sense! What do you do?"
Laozi came up: " I am a humble, professional game businessman."
…
Although the Magic Hopping Rabbits were wiped out, this still couldn't stop the players' passion to continue upgrading. A large number of players began to explore other parts of the forest to expand the upgrade territory.
Xu Xiaofan was calculating his income.
In just five hours, with the extermination of the Magic Bouncing Rabbits, Xu Xiaofan's lifespan has now reached 1123 days!
The benefit of more than 1,000 days of life is Xu Xiaofan’s final income after deducting the reward for the "Spread Faith" side quest.
“It’s so scary!”
Xu Xiaofan looked at the skyrocketing lifespan and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that there is strength in numbers. Once the number of believers increases, the speed of plundering lifespan will be even faster."
Xu Ercong's live broadcast brought a lot of popularity. Not only the players who received the transfer red envelopes entered the game, but also many live broadcast friends who did not become lucky viewers were also curious about the emergence of this game.
A game that is so highly recommended by the discerning second-generation Cong must be worth downloading and trying.
After entering the game, most players are completely immersed in the realistic game environment and can't stop playing. Players are completely immersed in the role of the undead, howling into the Esk continent and looking for rabbits all over the world.
Although the Magic Hopping Rabbit is the lowest level magical beast in the Esk Continent , after the life energy plundered by a Magic Hopping Rabbit after its death is divided into two, the life energy obtained by Xu Xiaofan is less than one day's life.
But the rabbits died too quickly and the entire colony was wiped out. After the death of thousands of magic jumping rabbits, Xu Xiaofan naturally gained a considerable amount of lifespan.
"What a pity, the level of the Kingdom of God is too low now, otherwise we could have plundered more lifespan from the bodies of Warcraft creatures."
Xu Xiaofan sighed. If calculated based on the lifespan of the Magic Bouncing Rabbit itself, a normal Magic Bouncing Rabbit could survive for at least a dozen years. After the death of a middle-aged Magic Bouncing Rabbit, the remaining life energy in its body would be at least seven or eight years.
Unfortunately, Xu Xiaofan’s current divine kingdom level is too low, and his own divine power is insufficient, resulting in his divine power being insufficient to completely absorb all the life energy in the Magic Bunny’s body.
The current divine system can only absorb a very small portion of the lifespan in living organisms, and a large amount of lifespan energy is wasted. This is also unavoidable.
Only by working hard to upgrade the kingdom of God, improving one's own divine power, and expanding the ability of the godhead can one better absorb the lifespan of plundered creatures and avoid wasting lifespan energy.
In fact, compared with the players, Xu Xiaofan's income is already very considerable.
Monsters are killed by players, but the life energy they plunder is divided into two parts, half of which is given to the God of Death Xu Xiaofan. The other half is further divided into two parts, one part is used as experience points to strengthen the player himself, and the other part is dropped as a tradable currency for players to pick up and increase the game experience.
"A new monster has been discovered!"
"The monster's name is [Furious Dog]. This guy is too strong. He can beat several players by himself!"
"We have also discovered a new group of monsters in the northwest, the Lone Wind Forest Wolves. I don't dare to try it alone. It takes an hour to revive after death. Who wants to team up with me?"
This user has become an immortal: "The [Catch Angel] team is recruiting experienced teammates. Only those who have died less than 3 times can apply to join the team! Let's level up efficiently together, take turns to finish off the enemies, and share the dropped life currency!"
Philosopher: "You may not believe it, but in the real world, I am a martial arts instructor, and I am the best at swordsmanship! If any team is short of people, I will definitely be the right person to recruit!"
"I just started playing the game a short time ago. I hope someone can help me. I don't have any other skills, but I have a lot of pocket money every month."
The grandfather of Lao Wang next door: "The one above! We are a professional leveling team, and we are just in need of a sponsor. I will contact you privately!"
Soon the players discovered new targets, spontaneously formed upgrade teams, and began to explore unknown areas.
Xu Xiaofan smiled with relief.
In the previous life, the God of Death had to use threats and inducements to get his believers to do something. Look at my believers, how seriously they work.
What a cute group of skeletons.
…
Just at this time.
Through the divine system, Xu Xiaofan sensed that something happened in the real world that was related to him.
