545 Meeting the Princess (1/2)
[Lightning King Tesla: Lol server déjà vu.]
[Othinus: Baboon 14 is queuing [fn=49]]
[Fue: Female soldier is queuing?]
[Mystical Fire of the Moon: Let me enter the game! D*mn!]
[Immortal Low Light: Bad ratings. Gosh, tens of thousands of gamers placed in a queue!]
…
The gamers were unhappy with the rule of queuing up after 10 deaths, especially Peasant, as he would die frequently.
Sherlock had no other alternatives. Though the Mana pool of Yggdrasill was huge, it might not be able to support more than 50 million gamers. All the gamers in China wanted to participate in the Public Beta.
The gaming capsules were free. After registration, a gaming capsule would be delivered to the registered address. It was much better than other online games, which required the purchasing of tens of dollars of cards or a few hundred dollars of props. Everyone was curious about how the manufacturer of ”Dungeon” made their profit.
Sherlock didn't want the Mana of Yggdrasill to be depleted. He also wanted the gamers to cherish their lives, so he made the queuing rule.
This rule was insignificant when there was no queue. It was just to frighten off the gamers who didn't want to queue.
To the gamers, when the grim reaper arrived, they would have to die no matter what.
Peasant created a post.
[Lousy producer! Even the Revival Armor won't save you! I'll follow you everywhere until I beat you to death!]
Though it didn't have any physical effect, Peasant felt much better after posting.
Peasant finished browsing the discussion forum and returned to the game interface. Though there were 500,000 gamers in the queue, Peasant entered the game after some time. It was hilarious that the gamers died so rapidly, as it was rather difficult to die ten times within an hour. Though, to a beginner, dying ten times within an hour wasn't so difficult.
Peasant entered the game enthusiastically, ready to experience the new Public Beta.
When he opened his eyes in the Guild territory, he saw an unpleasant scene. Through the window, he saw a very crowded path that wasn't moving.
There were simply too many gamers!
…
”All Goblins of Hangzhou, gather over here! We're setting up the Hangzhou Gang!”
”Anyone from Hefei? Anyone from Anhui Hefei? Let's play together!”
”I'm looking for a teacher who can act cute and guide me along. I guarantee that I'll be online every day!”
”I'm looking for a male student to develop a long-distance relationship!”
”I'm looking for a teacher who isn't married!”
”Why are there so many gamers from Sword Net 3?”
…
It was normal for the game to be noisy. However, it was far too loud. Many gamers couldn't endure the noisiness. The veteran gamers had gone out to hunt for monsters or challenge the Instance Dungeon. Some gamers were even willing to fight with the gamers of Victoria City.
The NPCs of Eternal Kingdom were unable to stand the noise. Simba had broken countless weapons, so the queue of gamers who wanted to improve their weapons had vanished.
It was understandable for Simba, as it was too noisy to work properly.
To another NPC, it wasn't just about a good mood.
”Princess, are you inside?”
”Princess, come out and meet us. We can help you with any Strange Encounter Missions!”
”Princess, I love you. I want to be your Raintea!”
There were countless gamers standing underneath the treehouse at the seedbed. Most of them were shirtless Goblins who were shouting wildly.
In Eternal Kingdom, the Little Fairy was the most popular NPC. Even the attractive Succubus couldn't be compared to the Little Fairy Princess.
The reason was that the Princess was heavily involved in the Plot, and she was the only NPC to develop a friendship with a gamer. The Princess had already returned to her home, but because of Raintea, she used the Teleport Scroll to return to Eternal Kingdom. Nobody knew how the Princess obtained the Teleport Scroll. The gamers attributed it to the requirement of the Plot.
