Chapter 121: An Influx Of New Players

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The number of players online reached a frightening 2.6 million on the third day after the Hundred Fortress Hegemony Tournament ended and the Mansion of the Dead was crowded with wandering rookie players.

The players who were new to the game were completely amazed by how the game looked so real.

Many of them were expressing their frustration and sighing after finally joining the game as they found the game too late and they were one step later than all the others to progress.

However, this did not affect their interest in exploring the game. Characters with the most basic equipment could be seen everywhere in various zones around Beiqi.

These newbie players were asking the veteran players all sorts of questions for guidance in the forum like curious babies.

[Please give some pointers on which is the strongest character class at this point of the game…]

Strike_Seal: “Definitely a berserker! You can advance into a Rune Master which is a really strong class; you can both defend and attack. Just check out the guild master of the Demolition Officers, he’s a Rune Master!”

Invincible_Lonliness: “Even though I can’t defeat him, isn’t the strongest class at the present stage the Demonic God’s Apostles? (funny)”

A_Large_Wolfdog: “White Phantom isn’t bad either (slams table)”

Crayon_Shinchan: “The strongest class is indeed the Demonic God’s Apostle, but the strongest player at this stage is a Rune Master (funny)”

Author replying to Crayon_Shinchan: “Huh? Why can I only choose from three character classes and none of them are a Demonic God’s Apostle!?”

Crayon_Shinchan replying to the author: “Silly child, you should go look around if you have nothing to do. Who knows, maybe you’ll find it? (pats head)”

Author replying to Crayon_Shinchan: “What do you mean?”

……

[Game novice asks, I have just reached Level 4. Where can I go to level up quicker and where is the top-up portal?]

OnePunchMan: “If you’re just Level 4, you should roam around the Mansion of the Dead and look for newly-spawned Wandering Souls to kill them. You can also team up and go to the Ghost Mountains. It’s best if you can join a small guild and ask veteran players to take you to kill monsters at a higher level region. If you have the strength, you should join a large guild, then you’ll get to go out to sea immediately~ As for the top-up portal you were talking about, I just smashed my keyboard, don’t ask why… (angry)”

Xueli_The_Strongest: “Newbies are more suited to go around the Ghost Mountains. As for the top-up portal you were asking about… (slams table!)”

Crayon_Shinchan replying to the author: “Top-up portal? Here, here’s the number for the game’s top-up channel. Please remit immediately, the soul coins will be transferred instantly (funny)”

[Game novice at Level 8, brothers please help. I just saw someone with a wolf mount. How does one do that? Do the shops not have it?]

Crayon_Shinchan: “Shut up guys. As a newbie instructor, I have to speak (slams table)! To answer the poster, the wolf is known as a zombie wolf, there are a lot of them in Liuli District. You need to let the same zombie wolf bite you to death 100 times before it recognizes you as its owner and a master-slave contract is established.”

Author replying to Crayon_Shinchan: “Is it really that difficult? (scared)”

Crayon_Shinchan replying to the author: “(slams table) How do you deserve such a flashy mount with such weak willpower?”

[I’m a game-collection enthusiast. I’m going insane by just looking at the upgrading of boats, warships, and the collection of materials for character class development! I’m longing to know how to earn more soul coins! I’m going to die without them!]

Crayon_Shinchan: “That’s easy. Get your father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, brothers, and sisters to go to the seaside and fish. You can also go to the North Rocks in the middle of the night and chop wood. There will definitely be good harvest (funny)”

……

The novices were asking a bunch of questions in the forum. Aside from the veterans who answered the questions posed by the doubtful novices properly, there were also many trolling veterans like Crayon_Shinchan. The whole forum was extremely lively.

As for Lu Wu, he was surprised to find a number of foreigners appearing in the Battle Online forum, asking questions on the official web forum using real-time translation software.

[Played this game before returning to my country and I was completely addicted. Sadly, I realized that there was no platform to download the software after returning to my country. May I ask the officials, when will this game come to our country?]

Crayon_Shinchan: “Wait till I can knock out a bunch of sub-characters with one blow, I will give you a foreign server and start a transnational war at the same time (funny)”

Strike_Gold: “I’m looking forward to the opening of several servers abroad, but it’s unclear whether they will be with us for the Mansion of the Dead. If that’s the case, let us have a three-second moment of silence…”

Invincible_Loneliness: “I guess it’s coming soon as the game has been gaining popularity. The agents at your side may have been talking with the Battle Online Corporation so it shouldn’t take too long. Other than that, if we’re really living together under the same sky, then you guys will notice how bad the game’s experience is (funny)…”

……

There were many foreign players who were demanding a foreign server. Thankfully, Lu Wu had already considered the matter.

After the Hundred Fortress Hegemony Tournament, there were many foreign gaming agents who had come forward to get in contact with him but solid cooperation matters were still under negotiation.

Although the three months period was reaching its end, he had already promised Wu Guoyi that he would only work with him during these three months. Therefore, he had to postpone with the agents, though the delay would not be too long.

At the same time, another problem would be posed from the influx of new players if they really open up Battle Online to other countries.

Lu Wu and Bei Li had already discussed this matter before this. Lu Wu did not have any other power plates aside from the Mansion of the Dead at that stage. However, Lu Wu could imagine how badly those foreigners would be oppressed by the veteran players from the Dragon Nation if the Mansion of the Dead was arranged for the foreign players.

However, it was not that there were no solutions, Bei Li even made a proposal.

She suggested tossing the foreign players into the same large domain of Beiqi where the forces were complex and not united.

Although the living conditions were vile, if the number of players in the foreign server exceeded those in the Mansion of the Dead, they could still develop depending on the innate advantages even if they were a little suppressed in the early stages.

Lu Wu intended to make a decision after careful consideration of that matter.

After all, it was not a small matter. He wanted the players to be able to develop better and stronger so he would have better profits as his income was completely provided by the players.

Lu Wu was not in a hurry as there was still time before the foreign server’s release. Therefore, the matter would be put aside for the time being and the current development of the game would be given priority.

The Black Sea Technology Corporation had also contacted Lu Wu after the Hundred Fortress Hegemony Tournament, hoping that Lu Wu would start publicizing the game in half a month according to the agreement because they were about to start the mass production of gaming pods for the official sale.

Lu Wu agreed without hesitation as it was good news for him. Those players who were complaining about the 12-hour shutdown of the server would have a better gaming experience after the gaming pods were released.

However, Lu Wu received some bad news from the Black Sea Technology Corporation.

According to the person in charge of Black Sea Technology Corporation, the domestic major game manufacturers had reached an agreement with the Jie De Corporation and Lu Wu was the only one who refused to accept the offer. Therefore, the Jie De Corporation was ready to make a demonstrative sanction to Battle Online after the official release of the gaming pods.

Due to the various business rules involved, the Jie De Corporation had even figured to use incompatibility as the excuse for the sanction against Battle Online.

Lu Wu thought to himself that this matter would be tricky upon hearing the news. It would definitely be bad press for the publicity of the game.

However, upon further consideration, Lu Wu knew that the players who have played this game were diehard fans. Lu Wu was confident that they would not give up on the game because of the gaming pod issue.

Lu Wu had already figured out the means of a counterattack.
