Chapter 208: Chapter 206 Damn it! (4th update!)

The hottest and most technologically advanced VR online game “Conflict” currently only has a guild base system, where building towns and cities is a rather superfluous feature in this monster-slaying leveling game.

“If there really is such an update, it might not be what you guys think, at most just a larger stronghold,” Black Pot Cooking Meat couldn’t imagine what a VR game where players could build their own cities would be like.

It’s one thing for a single-player game, but this is an online game!

I might actually do it.

Jiang Qiao listened to Mo Shigui’s analysis and also began to think about the development trajectory of player strongholds in the future.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

As Mo Shigui mentioned, if all the monsters on Biland Island are wiped out, will the stronghold still have any purpose?

Therefore, Jiang Qiao had a terrifying idea, which was to completely transform Biland Island into his own property and then move the entire island to the Inner World.

Using Biland Island as a base to accept commissions from visitors from other worlds… or monster invasions, but this was just a conjecture.

“The official might actually have it.”

At this time, Xia Shan, who had just finished tuning her mining machine, suddenly spoke up, glancing at the prototype floating beside her, which could integrate data from the “Tian Gong” little pets.

“Really, Chang Qing girl?” Tonight Your Mom Must Die immediately asked.

In that moment, all eyes from the Dancing Nuclear Guild focused on Xia Shan, throwing her once again into the fear of being scrutinized by the big shots.

“Conflict… They recently launched the 3D stereoscopic projection and AR version competition, right? I see… ‘Holy Spirit’ seems to have plans to update the projection and AR versions too, wasn’t Fureya saying she was coming to our world? We played games with keyboards and mice when we were kids, and no one could have imagined the current boom in VR games, yet now it seems we are standing on another evolutionary rung,” said Xia Shan, spouting a bunch of words she herself didn’t quite understand.

“My point is… if the official doesn’t roll out the plan to build towns, we don’t necessarily have to follow the version update, given the high degree of freedom in the ‘Holy Spirit’ game,” Xia Shan didn’t know how to express her thoughts.

“You didn’t grasp my meaning,” Mo Shigui said to Xia Shan.

“It’s not that I didn’t understand, I just don’t know why you all are gathered here. I was busy laying conveyor belts and came over to listen because I saw you all crowded here,” Xia Shan said.

“My point is whether the stronghold system’s profit is worth our continued development,” he said.

Mo Shigui directly expressed his real concern.

“Previously, the development of the stronghold and our monster-slaying gameplay didn’t conflict. Killing the lord-level monsters on the island, obtaining their mother crystals, and completing the missions commissioned by NPC Alu could upgrade the stronghold, but now there’s a new NPC favor reward upgrade option. If we don’t recruit a mass of NPCs, other guilds will definitely recruit them,” he said.

Mo Shigui opened the newly updated stronghold rankings list from ‘Holy Spirit’ and showed it to all the guild members.

“The current benefit the stronghold system brings us… First is this leaderboard, letting all ‘Holy Spirit’ players across the server know we are ranked first overall in strongholds, serving to maintain the popularity of the Dancing Nuclear Club. Second, the main quest to build portals requires a stronghold; third, the resources produced by the planted mother crystals can be used for making potions and equipment,” he listed.

The three items Mo Shigui listed were…all very factual, so rational that they lacked any personal emotions.

He had to be rational because the stronghold was the property of the Dancing Nuclear Guild, not his personal property.

Before the Biland Island 2.0 update, the construction of the stronghold was linked to players killing monsters to level up, the more monsters players killed on Biland Island, the higher the stronghold’s level would be.

But after the 2.0 update, many systems were introduced that allowed players to enhance the stronghold’s level without needing to kill monsters, just by managing the stronghold itself.

NPCs exchanging their sentiments for rewards was just one of them.

This meant that if the Dancing Nuclear Guild wanted to maintain their stronghold’s top ranking, they had to recruit a large number of NPCs into the stronghold, and sufficient food and housing for these NPCs also had to be ensured.

This series of changes led Mo Shigui to ponder whether continuing to vie for the top position in the stronghold ranking was worth it.

Because no matter how perfectly a stronghold was built, it could be phased out with an update, which is the cruel nature of the gaming world.

Wake up! The strongholds you build here will appear in the real world! Jiang Qiao really wanted to remind Mo Shigui that the street where the Dancing Nuclear Guild was located in the real world might just be where they built their stronghold in the Holy Spirit.

But for now, Jiang Qiao could only be a bystander.

“Leader, I didn’t think about it that much. I just want to make Fureya’s place bigger. Only when the stronghold gets to level three can Fureya’s room grow to fifteen square meters. Leader, don’t you also want to let your… oh your Fureya go out?” Xia Shan looked enviously at Fureya standing behind Mo Shigui.

“Leader, I just genuinely want to build a bunch of beautiful big houses, but you guys never live in them,” Little Feather glanced at the other guild members.

“Bullshit! If I could eat and sleep in the game, I would live there every day. Who wouldn’t want to live in a mansion of over two hundred square meters, nestled by the mountains and water? It’s just that occasionally, a dragon might pop out in the mountains,” Lazy yelled.

What Lazy yelled was indeed the sentiment of most players; if they could eat the food in the game to fill their stomachs, and sleep with their eyes closed without being hindered by the VR headset, they’d probably really settle down in the stronghold.

In such a crowded modern society… buying a house costs millions. To build one’s own house on this beautifully scenic, uninhabited island, and effortlessly too, many would probably choose to live here, provided there was a portal back to the modern city, and if takeout could be delivered there.

The only problem was that occasionally a dragon or two might appear and tear down the houses.

“So, Leader, I want to invite two or three NPCs to live here. The NPCs’ intelligence in Holy Spirit is really high, they even review the things I build, and all sorts of compliments make me very comfortable. Don’t look at me like that! You guys enjoy being flattered by NPCs, right?” Little Feather said.

“Boss Silver won’t mind, right? If Boss Silver draws the chance to play Holy Spirit, he might even come in and ask us to bring more NPCs to live in the stronghold,” Mommy Has a Dog whispered.

“I’ll ask Boss Silver, but from the current direction of the game’s updates, it seems like the officials really plan to let players build their own towns… It’s just uncertain whether the various system functions of the towns can be optimized, but the system of NPCs visiting the stronghold is still there,” Mo Shigui glanced at Sheral lying behind him. “In any case, our goal is to expand the stronghold to accommodate various NPCs. No objections, right?”

“As long as all the NPCs are pretty girls, I have no objections… Yelena is now about to privately… uh, walk away,” Mommy Has a Dog thought and switched to a more appropriate word.

“What are you talking about… I haven’t even requested handsome guys yet. Why are all the NPCs in this game girls? When will the talent market spawn a few good-looking NPCs?” Lazy also complained.

You can go catch… no! Recruit them yourself!

Jiang Qiao, seeing the enthusiasm of the Dancing Nuclear’s members, felt it was time to begin the next phase of Biland Island’s development plan.
