;;;;The sound of gunfire in Maple City gradually became sparse and scattered, until it became completely quiet.
;;;;The traces left by the battle left this small city in devastation.
;;;;On the roof of the mercenary manor, several large holes were blown out by cannonballs, and the modified bomb ejection device was beyond recognition.
;;;;The surface of the centuries-old building is covered with bullet marks and traces of freshly extinguished fires.
;;;;The ground of the manor was in a mess, with craters and rubble everywhere, and many huddled bodies.
;;;;Those injured soldiers were gathered in one place, and someone would treat them.
;;;;The cruelty of war is revealed at this moment. It is indeed ruthless and cruel to the extreme.
;;;;But for the victors, this was a moment worth celebrating. After a hard fight, the savages finally won the final victory.
;;;; Players who received the system notification could not help but cheer loudly and howl like wolves.
;;;;Perhaps due to the influence of the character, the player's nature is also released, and he is always in an unfettered state.
;;;;Scream loudly when you are happy, vent your anger when you are angry, and show no mercy when fighting the enemy.
;;;;The enemy was driven out of Maple City, which means that the player has achieved a staged victory. Compared with the first time, the rewards this time are obviously more generous.
;;;;You get what you pay for, and it was proven at this moment that gamers who actively fought received rewards that satisfied them.
;;;;If you exchange it for Loucheng points, you will definitely earn no less than you usually earn by doing tasks.
;;;;Due to the end of the war and the completion of the internal construction of Loucheng, the number of tasks issued has also been greatly reduced.
;;;;Some time ago, the residents of Loucheng had a dizzying number of tasks, and they were not allowed to rest for a moment when they were busy.
;;;;Now it is three or two days, and we may not encounter new tasks, or the tasks being executed are all long-term.
;;;;Fortunately, food, clothing, housing and transportation are free in Loucheng, so residents have no worries. Otherwise, the rapidly decreasing number of tasks will inevitably have an impact on daily life.
;;;;However, the importance of points has become more and more prominent. There are many welfare projects that require points to be redeemed.
;;;;The desire for points will become more and more eager.
;;;;The emergence of this virtual game provides players with an excellent opportunity to earn points.
;;;;They used to be just perfunctory or have a playful attitude, but now they have become completely different.
;;;;Anything that can provide enough income and even be used to make a living will receive the attention it deserves.
;;;;The change in players' attitudes had long been expected by Tang Zhen. When he decided to increase investment, this was destined to happen.
;;;;Investment is naturally in exchange for returns, and Tang Zhen wants to use this incentive method to find out the truth about this game.
;;;;This matter is not urgent, but since it has been done, there must be a result.
;;;;When the players received rewards, Tang Zhen also received a prompt from the system. Because he successfully occupied Maple City, he obtained more players to go online.
;;;;The first batch is one hundred people, the second batch is one thousand people, and this batch is ten thousand people.
;;;;Looking at the number of online players, you can tell that it should be directly linked to the territory under your control. If you occupy a place larger than Maple City, you should be able to get more player qualifications to go online.
;;;;This is also a hint to Tang Zhen that if he wants to get more players online, he should quickly seize more territory.
;;;;No need to remind you at all, Tang Zhen will do it this way too.
;;;;In the future, after the collection of resources in the next world is completed, Tang Zhen will shift the focus of his actions.
;;;;In such a short period of time, the resources of the lower world cannot be exhausted. After all, this is a huge world composed of countless substances.
;;;;The act of collecting and harvesting is nothing more than a gathering process, moving items from one place to another.
;;;;Tang Zhen couldn't possibly take everything away. At most, he could collect the resources he needed, and he wouldn't do anything to make a profit.
;;;;He wants to leave a certain share of resources to the thousands of creatures in the lower realm, which may be used at some point.
;;;;Although the Cornerstone platform reminds that the lower realm will encounter a catastrophe in the future, it does not mean the death of all things.
;;;;When I moved the building city before, I once strayed into the turbulence of time and space and saw the scene of the future world.
;;;;It proves that after the disaster, the world is still functioning normally, and technological civilization gradually emerged.
;;;;Although Tang Zhen had some doubts that the inducement of technological civilization was the items left behind in the city, these were no longer important.
;;;;Loucheng is destined to leave, just like a young bird leaving its nest when it grows up. There is no way to leave Loucheng in the seemingly vast and vast world below.
;;;;The problem is that Lou Cheng needs to collect the earth and wood spirit beads to advance to level five, but there is currently no news.
;;;;There is no rush for this kind of thing, we can only wait slowly.
;;;;While waiting, the residents of Loucheng always have to do something, including but not limited to cultivation.
;;;;When the whole nation is on holiday, it is naturally the best thing to be able to enter the game and make money leisurely.
;;;;After receiving the notice, Tang Zhen immediately issued a notice on the Cornerstone platform and issued another quota of 10,000 game players.
;;;;After the news was released, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
;;;;Although the game was launched not long ago and not many players participated, it has already gained great fame.
;;;;The content is no different from the real world, you can be resurrected unlimited times, and you can also complete tasks to earn a lot of points.
;;;;Good things like this are hard to find with a lantern.
;;;;Recently, a large amount of game-related information has appeared on Loucheng’s internal information platform.
;;;;The words are full of praise, and anyone who has watched it can feel the pride and happiness of the players.
;;;;Many residents who were unable to participate were extremely depressed and lamented that they had missed the best opportunity to join.
;;;;Fortunately, they also know that the game quota needs to be randomly selected, and it is not possible to join casually.
;;;;However, in their hearts, they secretly held back their energy, hoping to get a place in the game next time.
;;;;As soon as the announcement was released, those residents who saw it quickly applied, fearing that they would be too slow and miss out on the precious quota again.
;;;;I am still praying in my heart, hoping that I will be selected.
;;;;The waiting time was not long, notifications were sent out soon, and 10,000 selected players were notified at the same time.
;;;;The moment they saw the news, many residents looked happy and even danced.
;;;;When asked about the reason, they did not hide it, but chose to tell the truth.
;;;; Some residents expressed envy, while others looked indifferent. The attitudes of Loucheng residents towards this virtual game that had just appeared varied.
;;;;There are even some residents who feel that playing games is a waste of time, and feel a little repelled in their hearts.
;;;;If you have time to play games, why not practice and do tasks to improve your strength and make money at the same time.
;;;;But it didn’t take long for these people to change their minds.
;;;;On Loucheng's communication platform, a large amount of information appeared describing and recording the Battle of Maple City that just occurred.
;;;;This game recording function was just turned on after the upgrade, but it was immediately used by players skillfully.
;;;;Just because such functions are often used by residents in the daily life of Loucheng, when the game world appears, they can naturally operate it skillfully.
;;;;No matter how fanciful it is, it is not as impressive as the actual benefits. After seeing the players' battle settlements and linking them to the building city points, many residents were envious.
;;;;The residents of Loucheng who originally dismissed the game or even sneered at it suddenly changed their attitude.
;;;;Even extremely eager to get a place in the game.
;;;;These residents just thought that the game quota had been distributed and it was impossible for them to get any more.
;;;;If you want to join the game, you can only wait slowly for the next batch.
;;;;Knowing that there is an opportunity to make a lot of money, but not being able to join in, is what makes people feel most depressed and tormented.
;;;;Looking at the selected players, every one of them was excited and eagerly waiting for the delivery of the game helmet.
;;;;The vast majority of players simply come to pick it up in person.
;;;;There was a long queue at the gate of the Weapon Masters Guild, all of them were impatient players.
