Player Count Explodes

Exiting the game, Li Tianxia was still in disbelief.

He had actually had his monster stolen and been killed?

This filled his heart with anger, and he immediately chose to log in again.

[Dear player, you have died in the game and entered a three-hour resurrection cooldown!]

"Damn it, which game developer designed this idiotic function? Are they sick in the head!" Li Tianxia was completely dumbfounded.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized how he had gotten so into it, actually immersing himself in the game.

Li Tianxia took a deep breath. He realized that this game was truly terrifying, even making a seasoned game developer like himself unconsciously immerse himself in the game scene.

Opening the Platform173 homepage, he clicked on Battle Online again. This time, he noticed that there were many more player reviews below the game.

Crayon_Shinchan: Terrifying, to think I could encounter a 100% realistic game in my lifetime. I decisively cast a vote. Enough said, continuing to grind.

Jedi_Knight: The CG is so hype, I'm looking forward to it being made into a movie!

PasserbyABCD: Game developers, where are you? Can you explain what's up with the 3-hour resurrection time?

FortifiedByUsingCash: Damn it, I got killed by a player in the game. This monster stealing is too crazy! Is there a GM to manage this?

StarWarsGuild_LanLan: Our guild has officially entered this game, recruiting strong players to explore together! Let's go!

Strike_Gold: As I expected, NO.1 is a sure thing. At the same time, the Great Dragon Guild is recruiting, looking for strong players. I've already reached level 12.

Skip&Run replies to Strike_Gold: Big brother, please carry me! I'm online for long hours!

AsSilentAsSnow replies to Strike_Gold: Holy crap, level 12 already? Big brother, you're too fierce! Please carry me to kill Wandering Souls and pass the newbie quests!

Watermelon_Taro replies to Strike_Gold: Big brother, can you tell me which class is stronger? I'm stuck at the class selection screen, unable to decide, painful QAQ

Peppa_Boar: Voted. I hope a good game doesn't get buried. Exploring the game and looking for partners.

Seeing the dense game reviews, Li Tianxia fell silent.

He sighed and moved the mouse to the voting area in the upper right corner, casting a vote for Battle Online.

This time, he was completely convinced. He had originally been full of confidence in Natural Evolutionary Calamity, which his team had spent years developing, but after experiencing Battle Online and comparing it, he felt that his team's game was just garbage.

Exiting the secondary page and returning to the homepage, he opened the page for Natural Evolutionary Calamity. Li Tianxia found that there were also a lot of good reviews below the game, but he couldn't be happy at all, because he knew that if these players were to experience Battle Online, they would definitely not come back.

Encountering such an opponent was undoubtedly tragic. Li Tianxia felt immense pressure and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Lu Wu and Bei Li were staring intently at the Platform173 homepage, their hearts excited as they watched the votes constantly jump.

The artifact was also continuously feeding back player login information. Due to the large amount of information, Lu Wu directly turned on the shielding, leaving only the number of online players displayed.

Less than 2 hours after being officially launched on the Platform173, the total number of logins for this game reached 30,213, with 29,864 online. According to the artifact's statistics, those who were not online were basically forced out of the game after dying.

In other words, the player retention rate after experiencing this game reached a terrifying 100%.

This undoubtedly made Lu Wu and Bei Li feel happy.

Lu Wu couldn't imagine how terrifying an undead army he would have when millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of players appeared in the game. At that time, reclaiming the entire Beiqi would be effortless.

At this moment, Lu Wu's phone rang. He picked it up and found that it was Wu Guoyi calling.

"Old Brother Wu, what's the matter?" Lu Wu asked curiously.

"Little brother, you must help this old brother this time!"

Hearing this serious tone, Lu Wu thought there was something wrong with the game and quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Sigh, it's infuriating to talk about. Originally, there were few players in the game, and I could go online and fight Wandering Souls, but today there's such a large wave of people. When I was killing Wandering Souls, my monster was stolen and I was killed. Tell me, can I tolerate this?"

Hearing this, Lu Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought it was something big, but it turned out that Wu Guoyi had his monster stolen and was killed in the game.

"So, what does Old Brother Wu mean?"

"Soul Coins, I need Soul Coins. Can you give this old brother some Soul Coins so I can buy some decent equipment? I want revenge! It's not difficult for you, right!"

Lu Wu was stunned. To be honest, he didn't plan to distribute Soul Coins additionally in the game. After all, this thing was also very useful to him, but Wu Guoyi had helped him so much, and he was too embarrassed to refuse:

"Brother Wu, to tell you the truth, after the development of this game gets on the right track, Soul Coins will only be produced from killing monsters. There's nothing our R&D team can do about it. However, before the game went live, I kept 100 Soul Coins for myself. I'll give you these 100 Soul Coins, but there won't be any more in the future!"

Wu Guoyi was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly agreed.

"But brother, from what you said, once your game gets on the right track, everything will no longer be controlled by your R&D team?"

"That's right. In addition to the extremely high degree of realism, the development of things in this game is also free. Even we don't know what will happen next, so please forgive me, brother!"

Hearing this, Wu Guoyi was shocked and took a deep breath: "Brother, find an opportunity to bring your R&D team to meet me. I really want to see what kind of monsters they are, to actually have such great abilities!"

After chatting for a while, Lu Wu hung up the phone, glanced at Bei Li, who was gnawing on a biscuit, and closed his eyes.

At this time, Lu Wu's Soul Coin balance was more than 2000. After searching for Wu Guoyi's name and locking on, he immediately sent Wu Guoyi 100 Soul Coins.

After a three-hour resurrection cooldown, Wu Guoyi logged into the game again and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were 100 more Soul Coins in his backpack. Immediately, he opened the store and bought a blue weapon worth 100 Soul Coins, the Python Sword.

Wu Guoyi still vaguely remembered the people who killed him. Immediately, he became ruthless in his heart, and holding the blue-glowing weapon, he rushed towards the Ghost Mountains again.

Coincidentally, he met Li Tianxia on the road, who was also preparing to seek revenge.

After a conversation, the two realized that the murderers who killed them were actually the same team, so they traveled together and killed their way towards the Ghost Mountains, vowing revenge.
