Building a New Dynasty, Gao Linzhi's Refusal
And what will surprise the casual players even more is yet to come.
At the end of the update announcement, it was added:
"A guest module will be introduced to the game."
"Visitors will not enjoy the experience bonuses or resurrection rights of players."
"But tourists can stay in the Safe Zone for free."
"Each player can bring 6 to 12 guests."
This quota is specifically for the player's immediate family members.
Parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents, uncles, and other relatives.
After reading the update, check the event channel.
The atmosphere was electric.
Many casual observers are in high spirits.
"I'm so happy today!"
"Haha, that's great! That's great!"
"The update is here! Spring has arrived for us casual players!"
"From now on, it's time for us independent people to take charge!"
"We no longer have to worry about those damn Company Executive bastards wiping us out and our families in the offline world, forcing us to work for them!"
"Yes, the game has finally come up with a solution to this."
"This is really great news!"
"Let's just bring everyone to live in the Skyfall World's Safe Zone. An entire village is a Safe Zone; it's enough for us to live on."
This is indeed good news for casual players, especially those who have just gained access to the game.
"Great, isn't this exactly what's going on with those damn big companies?"
"Those damn big companies, they use all sorts of despicable methods, arresting our families, forcing us to work for them, and stealing our gaming privileges—all to cheat us!"
"Now we're alright, we don't need to be afraid anymore."
"That's true, to be honest, it should have been done a long time ago."
"That's right. In the past, the company still had some sense of decency and adhered to the law when doing things, but when it comes to Skyfall Game, they are utterly wicked and have no bottom line."
"The main reason is that the profits from this game are too great, far exceeding the 300% profit threshold."
"That's right, just the physical enhancement, disease elimination, and lifespan extension of a player alone are worth a fortune!"
That's the truth.
One player slot is equivalent to a complete sci-fi-style treatment.
Such value is enough to tempt any company to take the risk.
The company used to be strict with rules and regulations, but that was because the benefits weren't worth taking the risks for.
Even so, many companies still do bad things, using inferior or contaminated materials to make food, which is simply despicable.
"The spring for independent people has finally arrived."
When Gao Linzhi saw this scene, he couldn't help but nod.
The Game System has truly become rich.
It can now support large-scale guest logins.
It can transport a large number of tourists.
This is undoubtedly a major positive development.
This helps Ordinary Player accumulate manpower and helps Ordinary Player break free from dependence on companies.
It will contribute to the development of the village and the island.
After all, these tourists are a valuable source of labor.
It can be said that the arrival of these tourists greatly supports players' ability to survive directly online.
In the past, because strange things happened in the Skyfall World, ordinary people would definitely be afraid to enter this place if they didn't have a player identity.
However, strange things are now also happening in the offline world.
Furthermore, there is no concept of Safe Zone.
In comparison, the online world has a huge advantage.
Based on this calculation, there are currently about 6 million players, each bringing 6 to 12 visitors.
Generally, a solo player can only bring a maximum of 7 or 8 people.
Modern society is characterized by atomized families.
Apart from siblings and parents, other relatives have become very distant.
In short, that's roughly 50 million tourists.
This is equivalent to relocating 50 million people directly to the Skyfall World.
That's practically tantamount to a cuckoo taking over someone else's nest.
At this moment, someone spoke up in the event channel:
"In that case, our Casual Player Alliance should be formed."
Many casual readers were very excited after seeing this.
Someone immediately retorted defiantly, "Hmph, those Corporate Players used to look down on us."
"How are things now?"
"It was thanks to us ordinary folks that this problem was solved."
"Which of their Company Executive dares to take risks? They're all forcing us to take risks and risk our lives."
"That's right. In those dynasties, the second generation is always inferior to the first. This is because the first generation is selected from countless people, while the second generation can only be selected from a fixed number of people, so naturally it cannot compare to the first generation."
The Company Executive Players were speechless for a moment.
Because they felt a chill.
That's the latest update, and it was indeed aimed at their actions.
The Game System is now protecting solo players and has banned the hunting of them, a stark contrast to the previous laissez-faire approach.
"Damn it, what do you even know about yarn?"
"That lazybones in the world is employed by our company. Do you think he's still alive because of who he's relying on?" someone suddenly said.
"Really? I don't believe it, @The Laziest Person in the World"
The "laziest person in the world" quickly replied, "Hehe, they just sent me an invitation with very generous benefits, and they even asked me to claim credit for this achievement."
"Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to go. Chatting and sleeping are the only things I like to do."
"Hahaha, that's a real slap in the face!"
"Sure enough, the Game System update is only because a casual player saved the game. If it were really your Corporate Players who saved it, this update wouldn't have happened. Stop showing off here."
"That's awful, so shameful!"
At this point, the Corporate Players were speechless.
Some of them were enraged and even decided to start a massacre of the lone survivors.
Of course, this wasn't just a momentary emotional outburst.
They really will do that.
But the current situation makes it impossible for them to do so.
At this time, the Corporate Players collectively kept a low profile.
Individual players began to take the initiative in the activity channel.
Someone said, "That brother is right. We should organize ourselves and form a big alliance."
"We moved our entire family to the island and are developing it."
"Let's go to Wolf Snake Island. We can leave our family there; a Canxue boss is watching over us, so it's safe."
"Yes, we should embark on a massive construction campaign and build it up vigorously."
"That's right. The current Safe Zone has been expanded to include the entire village. A village can easily accommodate a residential complex, and a residential complex can be built to house at least 50,000 people."
In the event channel, the casual players became more enthusiastic than ever before.
For the first time, they received significant preferential treatment and support from the Game System.
Safety guarantees, free respawns, and a visitor module—all these measures alleviated their concerns.
Many people are starting to decide to unleash their talents and passions and make a big splash.
Three weeks later.
The game update is now complete.
The Safe Zone has been expanded to cover the entire village, the visitor module has been launched, and the number of free respawns has been increased to three.
Of course, some people did try to exploit a bug to expand the entire village onto an island.
However, strange creatures roam the wild.
The village is too large, making it vulnerable to strange retaliation.
Therefore, the village cannot be too large.
At this moment, Gao Linzhi was surveying his Wolf Snake Island.
The village has also been expanded somewhat.
Throughout the village, pre-construction planning is underway everywhere.
Many high-rise buildings with 200, 300, or even 800 meters in height are preparing materials and design drawings.
Of course, based on actual calculations, 120 meters high is the most cost-effective.
If it's too high, the foundation needed will be too large, putting too much pressure on the ground and causing many potential problems.
120 meters is equivalent to 40 floors. A typical residential building has 32 floors.
If a 40-story building has four apartments per floor and five people per apartment, then the building can house 800 people.
This East Wolf Village could accommodate at least 100 buildings, which would house 80,000 people.
This number is quite large.
Many small towns have populations of only around 100,000.
With 80,000 people, if managed well, a considerable market and production can be maintained.
And at this time...
Suddenly, another cloud of mist appeared from the wilderness.
It was stark white and quite terrifying.
Gao Linzhi was naturally fearless.
He could tell at a glance that this was nothing more than an anomaly below the Green Tier.
Now is the time to test the strength and extent of the Safe Zone.
A White Mist began to drift in.
Upon closer inspection, it was another bizarre "Faceless Man."
The Faceless Man, appearing and disappearing in the mist, was seen walking towards the village.
In fact, Gao Linzhi's men had already driven away this Faceless Man monster several times.
Moreover, they were driven away through bizarre story instances.
But now it has reappeared.
Clearly, this guy is a weirdo who can keep returning.
As mentioned before, the supernatural does not truly die.
It is a distortion of the rules of the Skyfall World.
When the mist reached the area around the village.
Suddenly, a burst of light emanated from the area around the village and the sky above it.
Then the fog began to dissipate.
Excitement from the players echoed through the village.
"It's true, the Safe Zone has expanded!"
"Haha, the system is truly amazing!"
"Yes, the system is truly amazing. Even the most unsolvable anomalies cannot get in."
"Now I can rest assured."
"That's right, finally we have a place where we can live and work in peace."
"That's right, we have more resurrections. We can go out to farm and fight monsters during the day, and come back to rest and have fun at night. Isn't that wonderful?"
Gao Linzhi could understand how these players felt.
Because in the offline world, there is no longer a place that is absolutely safe.
The presence of players can attract strange occurrences anywhere.
At that moment, someone suddenly whispered, "Do you think it's because the system is an even more powerful anomaly?"
Everyone fell silent.
No one dared to say more about this.
"Forget it, a system is a system, we don't need to worry about so much."
"That's right, the strange occurrences outside our village have subsided."
"The Safe Zone is reliable."
"Now we can focus on construction without worry."
Gao Linzhi nodded.
The East Wolf Village covers an area of approximately one square kilometer.
Let's calculate it this way: if we consider a rectangle, it takes 1000 meters to walk from the east side to the west side, and 1200 meters to walk from the south side to the north side.
Therefore, the actual area is a little over one square kilometer.
How many people can one square kilometer accommodate?
Based on the highest population density on Earth before, one square kilometer can accommodate more than 70,000 people.
That's a tourist city.
It's exactly the same design as here.
Of course, this depends on the import of a large amount of external resources.
Therefore, the offline world remains indispensable.
Only the offline world could provide so many supplies.
Wolf Snake Island, although it has a lot of fertile land, is not a large island, only a few hundred square kilometers.
Moreover, the lack of mechanization and fertilizers makes it impossible to produce enough supplies for tens of thousands of people.
There is hardly enough food.
After all, many places in the wild are not suitable for farming.
Fortunately, there are monster lairs to farm.
Once the Safe Zone's effectiveness was verified, Gao Linzhi quickly watched as the entire village began to transform into a large construction site.
One real estate development application after another was submitted to him.
Of course, Gao Linzhi was too lazy to care about these things.
He simply dumped it on them, letting them do what they were bored with.
Although there are huge profits involved.
But it doesn't matter, since the biggest benefit still lies with him.
After all, he controls the only channel for spending money on in-game purchases.
While Gao Linzhi was checking the relevant information, a message suddenly arrived.
Bored, he personally came to report to him:
"Boss, someone just invited us to consider the establishment of a nation."
"Founding a nation?" Gao Linzhi was taken aback.
"Yes, they want to emulate the ancient times, to emulate the Sky Wolf Dynasty, and to establish a powerful court."
"Among the scattered individuals, some are advocating for them to unite and establish a nation."
"They want to establish a nation to confront the corporation, the supernatural, and the government."
Gao Linzhi shook his head. "If they want to build it, then let them build it."
"In short, we will not participate."
Gao Linzhi knew that after the founding of the nation, he would face strange and concentrated targeting.
No matter how well a court does at the beginning, as time goes by, countless people will develop countless complaints and resentments.
Because people make mistakes when they do things.
Moreover, it's a royal court.
Moreover, while everyone is initially motivated and excited, as time goes on, laziness and greed will inevitably arise, leading to all sorts of sordid behavior.
Gao Linzhi came from a country, and he knew all too well that the imperial court was far more corrupt than any company.
Of course, most of the time, the imperial court was more concerned with appearances, and things were presented in a glamorous manner on the surface.
Many companies are terrible in the open.
The imperial court receives far more complaints than a corporation.
Otherwise, smart people wouldn't choose the corporate structure.
They're not stupid at all.
Not long after.
A group of Rogue Players immediately looked down on Gao Linzhi after hearing his reply.
"Ridiculous. I thought this big shot had some great courage, but it turns out he's nothing special."
"I knew it all along, he wouldn't dare establish a country."
He doesn't want to take on these responsibilities.
"That's perfect. We'll take on the things he's unwilling to take on."
"We'll do what he dares not do, and the laymen will rely on us."
"Let him regret it when he realizes it's too late."
"Yes, we can take advantage of this update to gather a large number of independent players and build our own power."
"That's right, we can make a fortune and improve ourselves."
The group of people were talking excitedly.
Because they discovered a tremendous opportunity.
If one player brings seven or eight tourists, it's equivalent to each player bringing seven or eight laborers.
They're still free labor.
They all knew exactly how much they could earn from it.
This represents an enormous profit margin.
