Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 80: Players’ Judgment (Part 1)
'Shock! The beautiful anchor actually did such a thing!'
'Selling a magical tool, a colorful dragon-slaying sword that comes out of a can, scammers please don't bother me'
'The big anchor has accumulated 100,000 secrets, and there was no flash on the 100th day. I cried, how about you? '
'Today's Darwin news, an online animal protection organization claims that demons also have human rights, and hopes to form a group to help the demons. After being trafficked to Baator Hell, they were tortured and are now on the run. Waiting for the anchor who is mixed in with the demon group to broadcast live...'
'Prices in the Kandy region are fluctuating today...'
As Les Miserables becomes more and more formalized, the number of participants is also increasing. The official forum, which used to have only a few big and small players and couldn't even hold a few meetings, has finally become a peak player exchange base with 500 posts at a time.
However, as more people continue to pour in, those people and various divisions gradually stand out and become more and more acute. This is especially true when different concepts and ideas collide with each other. Although the majority of people are spectators, even if five out of ten thousand people are in one camp and the other five are in another camp, according to the base number of Les Miserables, it is enough to make people's brains beat out of dogs in several sectors.
The earliest players who joined the game before the launch of the Pale Crusade expansion pack were called the first generation. The first generation of players generally have a very special feeling for Les Miserables. At that time, they used the imperfect resurrection mechanism, some superficial abilities, and extremely unfriendly NPCs to survive all kinds of torture, and constantly promoted Les Miserables to the surrounding areas and honed their skills. The player rankings are all first generation people, which shows how important the first mover advantage and mentality are in this game.
After the Pale Crusade began, the cool graphics and various Amway advertisements led to an explosion in traffic, which eventually attracted a large number of novice players to flock to Les Miserables and become an indispensable part of it.
These people are vaguely classified as the second generation, or in other words, the lost and exaggerated generation for the first generation.
This is probably a common problem among humans. The more niche and difficult something is, the more proud and complacent one will be. One may even instinctively reject the goodwill of others and sneer at their ignorance, even if it is just because they don't know and want to ask some seniors. This subtle gap has led to confrontation between the two player classes, and even a fight.
The first generation of people think that they have made the greatest contribution and are an indispensable part of the entire miserable world. All the later players are just relying on their achievements, and think that the later players are just followers and are hopelessly obsessed with appearance.
And what makes people most angry and helpless is that these first-generation people actually have reasons to say so.
Because each of them experienced that hostile era.
At that time, the resurrection of players had not been subject to too many sharp restrictions. On the one hand, it was a matter of gradual progress. On the other hand, if the resurrection of players was really not easy, it was estimated that the players might really have to gather together in the underworld.
When they first started the game, it was so miserable. Everyone was abused by NPCs for thousands of times. They would get furious when they heard about immortality, and even withheld their wages, saying that they would not die anyway, so it was useless to get paid. Moreover, the players were all undocumented and had no identity documents. If they were on an ordinary dark planet or a fantasy planet, it would be fine. But if they were unlucky enough to encounter a technological planet, they would be helpless and could only commit suicide and reincarnate. The players at that time had a hellish life.
This is one of the reasons why the first generation of players are often strong and tough, because they are used to being treated unfairly.
It is precisely because of the unremitting efforts of the first generation of players that the second generation has created a good environment for the players. They no longer have to face the terrible malice and cold guns and arrows from all directions. The NPCs also basically know what the players are like and have begun to assign tasks that they find troublesome.
So out of their own arrogance, the first generation was naturally a bit condescending.
But this is undoubtedly an insult to people in the second era. We are all here to play games, and it's just to help with the system update. Why do you have the nerve to say that everything is yours? And it's okay to put on an old-timer's appearance, and always say to go to forum XXX. If forum XXX can quickly find what you want, it's okay, but a newbie doesn't know anything and has no idea where to start asking someone, who are you showing your ugly face to?
Especially when the second generation began to rise rapidly, the differences between them became more and more wide. The first generation looked down on the second generation, and the second generation thought the first generation were all fools. The friction between the two sides had been going on for a long time.
However, in recent times, they have united unprecedentedly and turned their guns on a group of new players who have just joined the game.
"If you are new to the Eastern World, please go to the Eastern World section. No one is cultivating here, please stay away, thank you."
'Please moderator, please pin this post! The second generation is already stupid enough, and we who are new to the Eastern world can't stand it. The battle posts on the official website are already uncontrollable, and stupid comments are thrown out one after another. We can't stand it anymore. Moderator, are you pretending to be dead?'
'Combat power discussion! Dear seniors, I want to ask you, who is stronger, the new Eastern World Elder Tang Song Zhenren or the so-called leaders of Holy Light? I think it must be Tang Song Zhenren, he can even wipe out the entire planet with a single dust cloud! Those who like Tang Song Zhenren's domineering personality, please give him a thumbs up! Attachment: The whole process of Tang Song Zhenren defeating the planet.'
'Help: Is anyone at the Free Stargate? Please help me, I can't take it anymore...'
Compared to the second generation, which was a tough nut to crack, the third generation seemed to be a much easier target, especially since they asked stupid questions one after another that even the people of the second generation couldn't stand.
It's up to everyone to like different art styles when playing a western fantasy game. In the past, people who discussed the strength of the party also had a ring. You came up with such a brainless fan, saying that you play it just for the Eastern world, otherwise you are a fool to play this game. What you mean is that those of us who got into the game early are all a bunch of fools? Not to mention the first generation, even the second generation would be furious if they heard this.
Especially when these Eastern players seemed to be vaguely opposed to the mainstream in their stance, the atmosphere in the entire space became more and more tense.
The battle started not long after. Every player who had some spare time pulled out their data cables and intercoms, and the battle spread to every corner. Almost everyone was madly targeting others according to their own preferences and impressions.
The spectators were watching peacefully at first, but as the flames of war spread and the map cannons gradually opened up, the original spectators also started to fight randomly. The first, second, and third generation of people cursed each other, stirring up the entire forum with smoke and blood flying everywhere. It looked like a big avalanche. Almost no one thought that the other party was innocent. They would definitely not stop until they could tell who was better.
And at this moment, a ghost-like post quickly went from being unknown to becoming a popular typical post.
Compared to other battle posts, this new post was just a very ordinary news post. However, the information spread in this news post made the three parties who were cursing each other stop for a while and start paying attention to what was said in the post.
But in fact, what he said was not difficult to understand, and it was even a bit confusing. It looked like a post directly posted by someone whose chip access was not complete. It can even be seen that the player who posted this post may not know that his experience should be kept secret. A live broadcast post posted by a silly boy on the forum inexplicably brought a new chapter to the entire era of players.
'Help, brothers and sisters, the Eastern forces I joined seem to be different from those outside.'
The secondary account does not necessarily mean that the player is not a newbie, because the reason for the secondary account is probably that the main account has a particularly awkward name, but the player does not want to use it, so he directly switches to the secondary account. These things are minor issues and there is no need to pay too much attention to them. The main concern of players is the problems caused by the live broadcast of this novice player.
Obviously, this new player didn't know about the built-in camera function in the game, or knew about it but forgot to use it. Instead, he used the camera he got from the novice mission to take pictures and posted pictures full of information online. Then, this new player used the pictures to gradually post shocking news on the Internet, which even completely subverted his impression of the news.
Faced with this building that was quickly over ten thousand feet tall, the people who were originally arguing began to gradually shift their attention and went inside this tall and somewhat strange building to see what was going on.
The poster was not affected by his sudden fame. Instead, he talked about his experiences in a dignified manner.
