Chapter 211: Defensive work

The city of despair, the fourth city.
In front of the collapsed section of the city wall, since the influx of a large number of players a few days ago, it has become full of enthusiasm, and it will be noisy all day long.
On the tens of thousands of square meters of open space that has been cleared out, on several flat and open roads, the magic locomotives and monster transport vehicles that transport all kinds of stones, giant skeletons, sand, steel, etc., are like long dragons. Absolutely.
In the huge open space, there are numerous stands erected one after another, as well as various equipment and tools. Some are mixing sand, some are burning the bones of giant beasts, and some monsters such as rhino pigs, bears and bulls are used as power to carry various heavy materials. Nearly a thousand players shuttled back and forth, really busy.
Above the wall tens of meters high, the pulley hangers hang down and rise again. Various materials for building the city wall are stretched from the ground to high, and some players act as plasterers, stacking various materials on the city wall. .
Inside the busy construction site, the roar of various magic engines, the roar of monsters and the shouts of players are intertwined, creating a lively scene.
Next to a wide open space where mud is stirred, a tamed titan behemoth is being used as a booster, dragging a few long ropes, pulling one to be fixed, and its cross-sectional area is about four or five meters in length. The ellipsoid rotates at seven or eight meters. The smashed gravel mixed with the characteristic stone powder used as cement makes a harsh noise and disturbs people for a while.
This mixer is a construction machine specially customized by the Ministry of Construction for the Ministry of Industry. There are five in total. It is not much different from the general construction site, but it is stupid and thicker. The original idea was to be driven by magic energy, but after measuring the cost performance, it was found that it was more time-saving and convenient to drive with the animal power of monsters.
It only needs these giant beasts to spin in place, dragging a few ropes to pull gears to form power. The power of a monster mixer is only stronger than the large diesel engineering equipment of the other world.
"Damn, don't do it!"
At this moment, in front of this monster mixer, a player in charge of pouring stone powder and crushed stone suddenly dropped a huge funnel he was pulling to the ground, jumped off from above the giant beast mixer, and vomited severely. Foam turned and ran towards the outside of the construction site.
"I don't want to do it either!"
"Lao Tzu is here to play a game, not to experience life on the construction site."
"Walk around, go to fight monsters outside the city, there are spiders with colorful backs."
"Start a group, start a group, come together!"
Behind this player, five or six other players who were also busy yelled together, threw away the tools in their hands, and ran out towards the broken city wall noisily.
After these players left, some of the other players who were responsible for moving stones and forging the bones of giant beasts also slammed their arms, followed or left the city wall together, or ran around other places.
"Boss Xu, our city wall construction team ran a few more today."
At the top of the wall of Despair, in front of a wall that has been repaired, a short player watched those players leave their busy buddies, and ran away regardless, and suddenly shouted at Xu Zhe next to him with some anxiety.
In the fourth city, in front of the hot construction site, a worried player shouted at Xu Zhe who was looking around.
"This is the normal metabolic process."
Standing in front of the construction site, Xu Zhe first glanced left and right at the city wall under construction not far in front, then slowly turned his head and addressed the humane who was speaking to him, "Old Chen, calm down, the players who are now influx With so many, there must be some unfettered."
"But it's too devoid of contract spirit!"
Chen Longxiang muttered a little dissatisfiedly, and his rough appearance was whispering at this time, but it gave people a different sense of fun.
"This is a different world, everyone always wants to explore new things."
Xu Zhe now does not call this world a game, but directly refers to another world.
Seeing Chen Longxiang’s grieved expression, he couldn’t help but chuckle. The other party was the acquaintance he knew when the Jackal attacked the camp. It was just that Chen Longxiang had been tossing his "little villa" every day, and he had no intention of doing it others.
Finally, he waited until his "little villa" was almost done, only to find that he has been generally pulled apart by the player's level, and although many prices such as potions and weapons have been reduced, but with the number of players Increase, the competition has become a bit fierce.
In the end, he entered Xu Zhe's construction department, and now serves as the leader of the repair team of the desperate city wall. This is a continuous cycle of development. The population increases, productivity increases, and various materials are obtained. On average, it is actually much easier than before, but it is not easy to obtain everything overnight. .
"Boss Xu, didn't you think of any punishment?" Chen Longxiang looked at Xu Zhe's calm appearance and asked again.
When everyone fought the jackal together, Xu Zhe's performance was not too prominent, but now the other party has grown up and improved, and he has become a big boss in this world.
According to Chen Longxiang’s understanding, there are still not many players at present. If the number of players expands by tens to hundreds of times and the tide rises, Xu Zhe’s current position is really high compared to the real world. Those high-ranking officials are not inferior.
It's just that in this world, apart from about a hundred aborigines, most of what Xu Zhe manages and restrains are players. The restraint seems to be not so strong and people come and go.
He used to be a part-time worker and felt that this model of the construction team of the Ministry of Construction was very good, but now he has become a small boss in charge of the progress of the project, and he immediately felt the drawbacks.
Especially every time he watched many players doing it, they either suddenly got angry and ruined, or they just left them. That feeling really made him feel like a young man in the workplace.
"It didn't exist in the beginning, but it has almost taken shape now."
Xu Zhe heard Chen Longxiang’s words, but he didn’t feel any concealment. He said directly,
There are already some hidden punishments. For example, after accepting the task, these players failed to complete the task or quit halfway, then he will follow up. It is also difficult to receive tasks and jobs in other departments. Moreover, even if they go to fight monsters, when they are sold to the City Lord’s Mansion, the price will be 10% or 20% lower than that of others, and the purchased items will be higher. Some penalties for destroying tools will be directly deducted from the player’s account as long as they are reported to the City Lord’s Mansion."
"No." Chen Longxiang widened his eyes slightly when he heard this, "Is there still a personal credit?"
"Of course there is." Xu Zhe smiled, "The red and yellow names in the game are actually this. Then prestige, these are actually the same things. If the prestige is high, the discount is high, the prestige is low or plural, of course you have to pay cost."
"Damn, it feels a bit scary!" Chen Longxiang shrank his neck, pointing to a few players who left the city wall happily and ran towards the forest of bones and said, "Are they still not sure?"
"Some know it," Xu Zhe said unsure. "But these things are actually a restraint. After all, not everyone is willing to be restrained."
"That's true." Chen Longxiang nodded. He watched the world's management system build step by step, and many players slowly became part of this system.
As a person who has experienced severe beatings in society and has worked in more companies, he naturally understands that once the system is set up, the role played by players as part of it is naturally extremely important, but when it comes to individuals, it is actually Not necessarily so important.
This is just like some large companies. After the number has reached tens of thousands of people, in fact, except for some particularly core and important personnel, or the transfer of a large number of personnel, the freedom of ordinary employees to leave and go, basically will not affect The normal operation of this business.
The construction department of the entire City of Despair now has about three or four thousand people. It is the main department for players to complete various tasks and earn magic coins and prestige. The daily flow of dozens of people will not affect it too much.
It's just that, as one of the little bosses in charge, occasionally watching these players come and go, I feel a little uncomfortable.
"According to the current progress, in about a week or so, this section of the city wall in the Fourth City can be repaired, and then we will be ready to face the demonic wave."
Standing on the city wall tens of meters high, Xu Zhe looked down at the surroundings. Compared with the walls of up to 5-6 meters high in several camps, the walls of Despair City wall tens of meters high can not only see the bones in the distance. Some movements in the forest, that is, most of the collapsed and destroyed buildings in the fourth city can still be seen.
"I heard that the new call has begun, how many players are there this time?"
After all, Chen Longxiang next to him is a veteran player. He has already learned from many people that the demonic wave is about to erupt. There is no deliberate publicity for this news, but it is not hidden. Everyone basically knows that the time before the demonic wave erupts near.
"Probably the total number of players will reach about 50,000." Xu Zhe groaned a little, and then told the news that he said he knew.
Chen Longxiang was slightly surprised, "So many, there are a lot of people!"
Although there are many games claiming to be online with millions of people, many players are distributed on dozens or hundreds of servers. Strictly speaking, tens of thousands of players are crowded into one server at the same time. For many games It is already a relatively large scale.
"In fact, it's not too much." Xu Zhe shook his head gently, "Look at our desperate city wall stretching for tens of kilometers. At such a distance, tens of thousands of people can hardly make any waves on it."
Although Chen Longxiang is a veteran player and has experienced many battles, his sense of substitution in this world is actually more of an ordinary player's mentality.
But Xu Zhe has already entrusted this place as his second life, and even if he is allowed to choose between here and another real world now, he has a high probability that he may directly choose to live in this world.
There is no internet, no computer games, no delicious food and safe environment, but in this world, he has achieved extraordinary achievements and gained the sense of accomplishment he once dreamed of. That feeling has replaced him in real life to some extent. The helplessness and wasted.
Chen Longxiang didn't know what Xu Zhe was thinking about. He just nodded lightly, and then said, "That's true. If 50,000 players are divided among such a long wall, there is no big effect at all."
Having said that, he patted his head again, and suddenly realized, "No wonder, the masters and some people under your hands are constantly developing the road recently."
"The number of players is not enough, of course, we can only move quickly." Xu Zhe looked at the city in the distance, with a look of helplessness on his face, "In fact, the industrial capacity can't keep up. If you can smelt enough It’s even better to get a few steel and replace them with railways."
"That's it, the speed is fast, and the transportation capacity is strong. Hey, but it's easy to derail and will be destroyed!" Chen Longxiang laughed.
"So it's probably a big trailer now." Xu Zhe nodded. In fact, many industrial parties have train plots. This kind of transportation with superb ground carrying capacity is really suitable for long-distance dispatching in the city of despair. Dispatch generals and deliver supplies.
But unfortunately, after a lot of measurement, the final transportation is the magic locomotive fleet.
The city of despair is defended by a wall of tens of kilometers long, with 50,000 players and some aborigines. If you want to completely defend it, you must make constant personnel adjustments. Fortunately, at such a long distance, the monster's attack route will not completely disperse.
Ordinary Transcendent Tier 1 and Tier 2 monsters are basically difficult to break through the fifty to sixty-meter-high city walls, and the focus on defense is basically enough at Transcendent Tier 3.
"By the way, Lao Chen, I will go to the Twelfth City District later, and the fortifications there are also doing well. In fact, although the Thirteenth City District was submerged by the backwater, in general, It's a good port. If we survive the eruption of the magic wave, maybe we can build ships and have a look at sea in the future."
"The feeling is good!" Chen Longxiang was a little excited when he heard this, "In fact, I think this world map is really too big. In a desperate city, so many people can't talk about exploring clearly. Hey, there will be oceans in the future. Map, it’s hard to know how wide it is."
"Yeah, this world is really too big. Maybe only waiting for vehicles like flying to get out can we further understand how big this world is."
For the players, the area of ​​the City of Despair is already the scale of a first- and second-tier city, plus a lot of unowned wasteland, it is really vast to explore with personal power. Coupled with the information of the Eastern Continent that is now coming back, think about the vast desert of tens of thousands of miles, and after crossing the cliffs of the sky, entering the Eastern Continent, it is a world that does not know how big it is.
"Boss Xu, Brother Chen!"
The two of them were standing above the wall of Despair, discussing the future development direction in a low voice while watching the busy players doing the repair work on the wall. Suddenly, a husky man in the distant city suddenly rolled up a mighty smoke.
"It's Sanjin and Corgi!"
The two people on the city wall saw a man and horse riding a monster mount, with smiles on their faces. Xu Zhe stood on the wall of the city wall and asked directly, "Where are you going?"
"Brother master asks us for help."
Since Lu Xin under the city wall led the team independently, not only his personal strength has improved, but his temperament seems to have changed a little, and he is quite energetic, "It is a group of little monsters, just suitable for us to practice."
"Boss Xu, Brother Chen."
Ke Yuan was riding on a monster that looked like a raptor, looking at the two people on the wall above his head, and beckoning. Everyone is an extraordinary player with sharp eyesight, ears and eyes, so communication is not affected even if they are far apart.
"Then you go first, by the way, pay attention to avoid some, and don't disturb the livestock who are helping me." Xu Zhe looked at the mighty monster cavalry from above, and greeted with a smile.
These people have to pass through his construction site. Although the place is open, so many monsters passing by will inevitably arouse the restlessness of the monsters who have been tamed.
"Don't worry, Boss Xu. Many monsters like you were captured and tamed by me." Lu Xin shouted with a smile, attracting the attention of many busy players around him.
Now most of the players who move bricks on the construction site are new players, all of them are struggling to earn magic crystal coins and prestige, and suddenly seeing a team of players with mounts, the enviable eyes don't need to mention.
"Haha, okay, you guys go quickly, stay here again, and hook up my soul."
Xu Zhe noticed the movement of the players on the construction site and waved his hands to drive them away.
"Haha..." Lu Xin looked at the enviable eyes of many players~EbookFREE.me~ driving the rhino pig king who was a lap larger than the ordinary rhino, and laughed, "If you want to mount it, you can Report to the Tenth District. Our Animal Power Department is still short of people. As long as we perform well, everyone will be assigned a mount..."
"This bastard, because I took care of him so much before, it's because our players didn't run fast enough!" Chen Longxiang watched Lu Xin take his monster cavalry before leaving, but he didn't forget to dig someone, and he immediately vomited blood.
"Don't worry, their animal power department can't accommodate too many players."
Xu Zhe couldn't help but shook his head and laughed as he looked at the messed up construction site.
Although Wenner’s animal power department has expanded a lot during this time, it is limited by the fact that many monsters cannot be tamed at all. So overall, it has not expanded to a large scale. Most players go around and find that in the end Moving bricks in the Ministry of Construction is the most stable and simple source of magic crystal coins and prestige.
On the other side, the monster cavalry rushing in mighty dust, after passing through the fourth city, passed the third city and the second city one after another, toward the first city under the broken mountain range in the distance. go with.
