The 506 earthquake and the ethnic groups that moved eastward(1/2)
The Obsidian Collar is actually no longer suitable for calling it the Obsidian Collar. The entire territory is red, as if it was stained with blood from the players who died in the last Black City Battle. Therefore, the name "Blood City" has begun to spread among players.
Within the Obsidian Collar, Wutong also intends to change the name "Obsidian Collar" to "Fire Oddian Collar" or "Wutong Collar" or "Fire Oddian Collar". However, there is not even a living corpse in the territory now, so you can call it whatever you like, so you don't rush to change your name.
For the sake of image, let's call it Fire Yaoling. Since the end of the battle a few days ago and the loss of "Asia League" has been heavy, players who are unwilling to fail are actively preparing for the battle in order to make a comeback. This time, the scale is even larger.
Because a large number of dormant high-end forces have already paid the water, how can such a large-scale battle be reduced to their figures and no longer hide their strength? The capital they show has surprised all players!
The extremely special building materials used in the towering walls of Blood City finally found out the real origin, which made people almost faint. It is very likely that it is said to be extremely rare in legends. The size of peas is worth a lot of [Fire Elemental Crystal]
"Damn it! Is it rare there? Tell me it's rare there??" Countless players were roaring!
"It is definitely not the Fire Elemental Yaojing!" Countless brick families swear to refute the rumors.
"Let's go! Go to the Blood City to dig out the Fire Elemental Crystal! It doesn't matter if you hang it up! Get down with a wall and sell gold coins to exchange for reality coins and become a Monopoly!"
Under such temptation, why is the second "Blood City Battle" under preparation not large in scale? Not only players in Andele, but also players from other countries around are crossing the border in groups, trying to get a share of the pie.
Only a few rational players sniffed at the agitators who advocated "digging the city walls, making a fortune, and becoming rich." They called on players to participate in the "Blood City Battle".
Do you treat everyone as a fool? "Endless" is a "parallel space jointly supported by countries in the four major regions of the world." With the support of a complete virtual economic management model and under the rules of the "balance mechanism" of the core consciousness master, how can such a big loophole be left for you to take advantage of loopholes?
Don’t forget that all the resources in "Endless" are all the products of the huge amount of funds invested by various countries in the game. This means that those minerals are capital invested by various countries. Could it be that you can sell them all into a real currency?
If you think about it, you will know that it is impossible!
To give the simplest example, diamonds should be valuable? The advertising slogan "Diamonds are forever, one will last forever!" has been shouted for many years, but if one day the production of diamonds is larger than coal, would you spend tens of millions to buy a diamond the size of a fingernail and collect it?
(It is said that the "Pepiga" meteorite in Russia impacts the diamond mine. The reserves are conservatively estimated to exceed one trillion carats. If you don't count them, just dig them out and there will be 200,000 tons! Damn it! I'll wait for 200,000 tons of diamonds to buy two kilograms for fun!)
Let’s not discuss the walls of Blood City. Is it composed of rare and mysterious materials like Fire Elemental Crystal that only stays in the legend? Even if you dig a large piece and sell it, will someone be full of mind and spend the original price to buy it?
Besides, those who can use this kind of material are basically high-level mages or alchemists among the indigenous people. If you can get a level 1 rookie, you will be foolish enough to buy it at your hands for a lot of money? Sell it to players? Who wants it? They won’t dig it by themselves?
Therefore, the slogan of "digging the city walls, making a fortune, becoming a rich man" is simply not valid. The value of fire elemental crystal is on the premise that things are rare and expensive. When players have no demand for the material, the only channel to monetize it is to sell it to the indigenous people. The indigenous people are controlled by the core consciousness god, and the core consciousness god itself cannot let such a destruction of the game world happen. Therefore, it is impossible for the indigenous people to acquire the fire element from the players and stuff a lot of gold coins in the game to players for them to monetize on the virtual trading platform to become a monetary.
"The family is rich, but the ones in the game are not counted!"
This slang phrase in the professional play industry vividly illustrates the root of the large number of fire crystal incidents this time. As professional play, they have experienced too many such things. The equipment they had in their hands the previous second was priceless, but the next second it became popular due to system changes, revisions, etc., and the result was that no one would sell the store.
Countries’ investment = resources in the game, which is certain, but what resources in the game are not important to these national investors. Whether their funds are transformed into soil, rock, minerals, or gems, does not matter to them.
As long as you remember one thing, buyers do not have sellers' aura and people dare to inject such a huge source of funds into "Endless", they are naturally confident that they will not lose money. At least they will not lose money on such ridiculous things.
The most fundamental role of these capitals is actually to ensure that the virtual economic system in the world of "Encounterity" can operate. No matter how the resources controlled by players in the game expand or consume, it will not affect the capital itself. It is constant and steadily increasing, and its nature is like the gold bricks in the bank vault.
The value of these "gold bricks" will not gradually decrease as players imagine, as players plunder, as you think, are you stupid? Throw a lot of money into the game and wait for players to slowly pay them all out?
What players obtain is actually the value-added and expanded part derived from these original capitals is created collectively by all the players in "Endlessness". In other words, what players obtain is actually the value-added part created by themselves in the game!
Therefore, how to grab more value-added parts from the virtual economy teams of other players, other forces and other countries is the place to consider.
However, there are always a very small number of people who can see these clearly. The players who are trapped in the situation are irresistible to the priceless Fire Elemental Crystal. Even if they know that even if they demolish the wall, they can't sell it for a penny. I'm afraid they can't help but demolish it first, which is good to have fun.
This led to the fact that the Battle of Blood City was full of followers. The originally deserted Andele Northern Defense Line formed a huge player gathering area in a short period of time, and even built a large number of buildings, which was a trend of developing towards emerging cities.
In this northern defense gathering area, it can be regarded as a gathering of heroes. In addition to a large number of new forces on stage, the original old forces are not to be outdone. Relying on its huge personnel advantages, and as one of the conveners of the Blood City Battle, he regards himself as the host in the gathering area. As more and more other guild alliance members under the General Alliance of the Zodiac, they converge to Andele across the border, and this descendant of the sea becomes increasingly powerful.
In addition to "The Twelve Palaces of the Zodiac", the Silver Flame Sect from the Kingdom of Serene has also formed a backbone force in the northern province, and the most special force is probably considered the mysterious "Secret Shadow" Guild.
Although "Secret Shadow" with business as its main development direction is not strong, at this stage, no one is willing to provoke this. It often loses everything and is trying to get your life with you. Everyone is just for money, so why bother?
The previous grudges and entanglements between Secret Shadow and Zodiac were almost everyone in "Endless" that conflicts a guild like this lunatic have. Do you know if they will get nervous and fight you to death.
But the problem is that the method of "Secret Shadow" to make money is too eye-catching. It can be regarded as apart from the indigenous forces, the "Secret Shadow" of the First Chamber of Commerce not only made their base camp Aoraon as impeccable, but other forces could not intervene in at all, but also took root in the northern defense line, completely ignoring the threat of "The Zodiac" and filling the entire northern defense line.
This makes the bigwigs of major forces very distressed. You can do business just by doing business, and you can't steal others. You want to suppress them by force, right? You are also afraid that the secret shadow will be in trouble. This is so sad!
"Secret Shadow" relies on such a tough style to take root among many large forces. Those with small strength cannot afford to offend them, and those with great power are unwilling to offend them. Who doesn't know that "Secret Shadow" has clearly shown the carriage and horses. When dealing with everyone, it uses the strategy of "injuring one thousand enemies and hurting one hundred by themselves"? Even their mortal hatred "The Zodiac" doesn't dare to provoke "Secret Shadow" easily now. In addition to being in an important stage, "Asian League" also restricts them.
Everyone knows the basis of "The Zodiac"? The reputation of "Eight Millions of Bad Guys" back then was not for nothing, but from the beginning, the "Secret Shadow" was a serious businessman style of "If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend others; if someone offends me, I will fight you!"
Although it is in the game that there is nothing strange about the two gangs of players fighting and making trouble, after all, the battle between the two sides has seriously affected the overall strength of the Asian League players. As a certain official background, "Asia League", naturally cannot sit idly by.
But "Secret Shadow" has just started business, and the zodiac has bullied the zodiac, so we can't let them fight back, right? But the zodiac became a key role that can greatly increase its strength in the wars of the four major regions in the future, which forced the zodiac to be more popular.
Under the entanglement of the two sides, "Asia League" can only restrain the zodiac people as much as possible and not provoke this unruly and completely unlucky. The authoritative organization of "Asia League" will be as furious as a hedgehog when touched, and there is no sense of collective honor at all.
If you cannot blame the zodiac, a bad bird that has occupied the general trend in the game, the Asian League can only publicly condemn "Secret Shadow": "It's so inappropriate! There is no 'dedication' or 'sacrificial spirit'! Why don't you know 'sacrificing the ego and completing the big self'? Could it be that these guys from "Secret Shadow" did not learn the text of 'collective interests over personal interests, and national interests over everything' when they were young?"
However, unfortunately, someone who has never been to school since childhood sniffed at this: "Tsk! Playing a game has risen to a moral level? In conjunction with our "Secret Shadow", we donated the industries under our name for you to divide. When the zodiacs suppressed us, they did "not fight back, and not fight back." After being beaten, they actively stretched out their right face to cooperate, and they called "national interests"? Have you ever heard of it more bullshit than this! Do people from the zodiacs dare to be more shameless? Do you think you are a member of the CPPCC?"
Faced with the public criticism from the Asian League, the zodiac and other forces, "Secret Shadow" gave the most direct counterattack!
"Secret Shadow" arrogantly spent a huge amount of money in the gathering area to build a huge chamber of commerce branches and a large warehouse area, and opened various industries under its name along the northern defense line. The caravans even spread to the front line, building a battlefield supply line for players in the eyes of most forces, which is definitely a thankless battlefield supply line!
What is most incomprehensible is that "Secret Shadow" is like a prodigal son, dumping a large amount of supplies into the market of the northern defense line at a price that is almost lower than the cost price. This price, let alone making money, will probably lose all your pants!
The "Secret Film Chamber" which is good and cheap, has thoughtful service and home delivery, has suppressed the industries under the names of the zodiacs and many forces. The prices of the materials sold by others are lower than their costs. The zodiacs and players who originally wanted to make a fortune in this battle were not even qualified to fight a price war with the "Secret Film Chamber", but they could not provoke them at this critical moment. They could only hate that they had to take out a large amount of funds to buy their needs.
"Didn't it mean 'sacrificing the ego and fulfilling the big ego'? Didn't it mean 'dedication' or 'sacrificing spirit'? Didn't it mean 'collective interests are greater than personal interests, and national interests are higher than everything!'? Is there a way to take practical actions!?"
Someone chuckled: "If you have any, you can take out supplies and provide them with the cost price to the players!? Isn't it equivalent to improving your strength when players arm themselves at low prices? Come on! We throw a brick in "Secret Shadow", you "heroic" and "high and powerful, brilliant" also let all the players of "Asia League" look at your "jade"!"
Slap in the face!
**Naked face slap!
"Secret Shadow" only does not talk, and almost swollen the faces of those forces who shout "Secret Shadow" that ignores the "big situation"!
Cost price?
Damn! The price you sell is lower than the cost price of the coffer? How can we come up with "jade"?
Even if they lose money for the sake of face, the sponsors behind them cannot agree to such idiotic behavior, right? If they really do this, not only will the various forces lose money, but the sponsors will probably have to tear them alive on the spot!
In the face-slapping action of "Secret Shadow", the clamoring forces could only stop in shame. They could only watch the show, waiting for "Secret Shadow" to stop this "clearing up and selling at a low price" behavior that was clearly a show. Once "Secret Shadow" could not withstand the funds, they would naturally not be able to show it. By that time, it would be the time for them to fight back!
Even the lines of the back-lip attack were thought out: "Aren't you showing off your "Secret Shadow" game resources, are you rich in game funds? Then sell them? Why don't you sell them?"
But the problem is that "Secret Shadow" is really constantly selling! It doesn't leave them the chance to strike back!
I don’t understand where the purchase channel of "Secret Shadow" came from. From the newly built "Secret Shadow Chamber of Commerce", I can always make a fortune out of nothing, and I continue to transport a large amount of materials out of nowhere. Isn’t it that they mobilized the transportation team to deliver goods to the warehouse?
What is the origin of this "Secret Shadow"?
How could they withstand such a large-scale low-priced dumping? "It doesn't make sense?"
"Is this impossible?"
"This is unscientific!"
"Do they really have super low-priced sources of raw materials?"
All the forces on the sidelines were confused and were shocked to find that if they did not react, after the Battle of Blood City, "Secret Shadow" will accumulate a very terrible loyal customer base, and all channels of related industries will no longer have their place to stay!
Even if they sell the goods at the same price as the other person’s “Secret Shadow” at that time, players will also habitually choose “Secret Shadow” instead of choosing them! This is called “brand effect” and “commercial reputation and trust inertia”!
But what can they do if they don’t sit still and wait for death?
Following "Secret Shadow" and losing money to provide supplies to players. The forces were shocked and realized that "Secret Shadow" had quietly opened its bloodthirsty fangs, and secretly gnawed them with a fierce bite!
Regarding the behavior of "Secret Shadow" to draw old faces from forces including "Asian League", "Asian League" really has no good way to stop them. I just criticized someone for "Secret Shadow" without a sense of collective honor, so I can't immediately change my words and say that this behavior that is beneficial to the collective of "Asian League" players but is not conducive to internal unity is wrong, right?
In order to make it look better, "Asia League" could only urgently raise a large amount of funds and subsidize "Secret Shadow" free of charge in the name of "Asia League". Although it is far from possible to make up for the losses of "Secret Shadow", at least it did not suppress all the losses of the wars in the four major regions in the future on "Secret Shadow" family.
As for the source of this fund, everyone knows it. Behind the Asian League, there are "Endless" Asia-American Region agency companies, "Players" lists, and the Asia-American Region official that pretends they don't exist!
This money is obviously the "public reserve fund" used by the official institutions to play the edge ball and secretly support the Asian League player forces. Although the official forces are not allowed to interfere in the game process, the four major regions cannot clean their butts in the action of playing the edge ball. Let alone the second brother.
I honestly accepted the so-called "subsidy." "Secret Shadow" with honesty and unceremoniousness. What? Some people are jealous? Some are envious and jealous? That's OK, "subsidy" is for you, so you can provide supplies to players at a low price?
In this endless entanglement and pain, after the "Black City Battle", the "Battle of Blood City" that lasted for nearly a week was finally started!
Because of the expensive siege equipment bought from the zodiacs at a high price last time, they were directly lost without even sending the function of a fart. This time, while cursing the zodiacs who were plucking their hair, the forces no longer took their mischief. Instead, they prepared various methods of climbing the city summarized in the last battle.
If you want to climb up to a city wall that is extremely smooth and has a force field cover to protect it, various props such as alchemy props [adsorbing glue], arcane scroll [spider], [feather fall], [strife] equipment [climbing ring], [gecko glove] and other props are the key to saving your life.
Players who have learned smartly gathered all the casters in advance. The step-shaped [floating disc] will become the main path to climb the city this time, and then some players who release [Featherfall] and are responsible for saving their lives. I believe that the survival rate of the players will be much higher than the last time.
According to the information given by the wanderers and scouts, Black City does not! After the last battle, although Blood City still looked empty without any skeleton defense, it has been further constructed. A large number of arrow towers, stools, female walls and stents have been built on the city wall. The skeleton sea, which was like a tide last time, seemed to have shrunk into the city. It seems that it is planned to stick to the turtle tactics to the end before the city is completely built.
The good news is that the large-scale divine art [Pilgrimage Road] released by the Silver Flame Priest last time, the earth bridge left behind was not demolished by the skeletons and was still preserved outside the southern wall of Blood City.
Another good news is that after these days, the Blood City has actually built a city gate. Although it looks like it is made of purely carved with fire crystals, it is not easily opened, but if the city wall can be built and some of the people break into the city wall and open the city gate from the inside, the army can advance straight into the inside of the Blood City!
These intelligence information that was beneficial to them made players who were planning to participate in the Blood City Battle feel extremely excited. But if someone told them that the four huge city gates were just decoratively carved out of the door frame for the time being. In fact, the 150-meter door hole inside had not been dug through at all. I wonder if they would faint if they fainted.
Just as the players were preparing to arm themselves to their teeth and were about to launch an attack, an amazing news suddenly came from various online and offline news channels, which surprised the players and cursed!
Not long ago, when the power of the moon tide in [Storm Moon: Jalantire] began to affect the Kovare continent, a major earthquake affected the [Demon Wasteland], [Shadow Wetland], [Zhum], and some areas in the west of the [Eruden Field], causing extremely serious natural disasters.
Many people knew about this news at that time, but the western land of the Kovare continent was basically a remote and remote place where birds could not shit and chickens could not lay eggs. The number of players itself was small. In addition, after the earthquake, there seemed to be no earth-shaking plot, which did not attract the attention of the players in the five human countries. Over time, the impact of this earthquake was left in the end.
But what was unexpected was that the disaster brought about by the earthquake was persistent. The biological groups that survived in various areas of the western land, which were already barren, migrated eastward in a collective manner after being frightened! The first area where the biological migration began was the [Demon Wasteland] located in the extreme west, which was originally a ghost place where even cactus could not be planted and even rats would starve to death. During this earthquake, the biological groups ran away collectively.
The migration of biological groups in the east led to the indigenous tribes living in the demon wasteland and relying on hunting to survive. Even the bark, moss and grass roots were gnawed, and they could only chase the migrating biological groups and started hunting.
As a result, this group of biological groups and indigenous tribes bypassed the [Shadow Crane Mountains] in the west and entered the [Shadow Crane Mountains]. However, the disasters suffered by the [Shadow Wetland] are not lighter than those of the [Demon Wasteland]. In addition, the swamps and mud are everywhere, even if there is no earthquake, the death of the ground is like the [Demon Wasteland] where the stones have dried up to the cracks, and it is not suitable for life to survive.
The biological groups that migrated east were first hunted by the native indigenous tribes of [Shadow Wetland]. While they were able to fill their stomachs, the tribes of [Shadow Wetland] did not set off to migrate immediately.
But the biological groups that moved east were just passing by. After the biological groups left, they came from afar. The [Demon Wasteland] tribe with two hungry eyes glowing green light. Both sides "cooperated" to clean the [Shadow Wetland] like locusts, and after chasing the biological groups that moved east, they rushed into the [Zhum], which was more powerful than the [Demon Wasteland] and [Shadow Wetland].
[Zhum] It was also a ghost place where the listeners were sad, and those who saw them burst into tears. Even the rats could not help but immigrate to their families. Life was difficult enough for the local tribe before the earthquake. Like the [Shadow Wetland] tribe, they encountered the migrant biological groups passing through the border, and were happy for a long time because of the large number of prey!
To be continued...
