The next day, Junlin Club.
Zhao Mingwei finished his training and was looking at the news on his phone.
This kind of straightforward internet-addicted youth rarely looked at the news, but since yesterday he had been scrolling through the news on Weibo all day.
News about Jiang City's food street.
But there was nothing... There were no orcs, no abyssal hunting, and there was not even a sign of any damage on Jiang City's pedestrian street.
Weibo only had news about a building fire on Jiang City's food street, with the fire brigade coming to the rescue.
If not for the piece of Light Elf's mory still quietly lying in his equipnt slot, he would have doubted whether everything from last night was real.
"Xiao Ye, what gear did you get from abyssal hunting yesterday?"
Lin Xi brought his lunchbox and approached Zhao Mingwei. Lin Xi's personality was not as stable and straightforward as Zhao Mingwei's; he had a more boastful type, and especially loved to boast.
Judging by Lin Xi's deanor, he must have gotten so good gear from abyssal hunting yesterday.
"Light Elf's mory." Zhao Mingwei opened the app on his phone, brought up the equipnt display function, and showed Lin Xi his gear.
"Special equipnt, forget I asked." Lin Xi smacked his lips. Yesterday, he had gotten a level twenty-five epic hand cannon from abyssal hunting, intending to boast to Zhao Mingwei, but Zhao Mingwei's gear was even better.
Zhao Mingwei did not pursue Lin Xi for details about the abyssal hunt. He had already asked Lin Xi on the night he returned.
Lin Xi confird that he had indeed participated in the Abyss Rift, and it was set in a virtual Jiang City food street scenario, but when Zhao Mingwei ntioned 'the monsters appeared in the real world,' Lin Xi's response was that Zhao Mingwei was under too much pressure lately and needed a break.
This made Zhao Mingwei's hair stand on end, to the point that he did not touch the ga the entire night.
"Zhao, the gifts from the fans are piling up at the front desk, should I bring them up for you to see?"
A club staff mber suddenly poked his head into the training room and asked Zhao Mingwei.
"Bring them all over." Zhao Mingwei said.
The staff mber—not just one but two or three staff mbers—began to move a large pile of variously packaged gifts to Zhao Mingwei's seat.
"Tsk tsk, Xiao Ye... We debuted at the sa ti, why doesn't any fan rember ?"
Seeing so many gifts, Lin Xi instantly felt a bit envious. The common practice in the club was to let the staff handle all fan-sent gifts, but Zhao Mingwei was one of the rare professional players who personally looked at each gift.
Zhao Mingwei rarely posted on Weibo, barely visible on Tieba, and he was simply a forever lurker on the forums, so he seldom responded to fans online.
But Lin Xi knew that Zhao Mingwei was very attentive to the things fans sent. He would read each letter and keep it well, wear clothes if they fit, and pile them up in the wardrobe if there were too many. As for the food... Lin Xi would taste it first to check for poison, then the rest of the club would join in.
"I rember there are a lot of posts berating you on Tieba; you could consider that a form of mory too." Zhao Mingwei may have been a straightforward guy, but his sarcasm was no less sophisticated than Lin Xi's, especially when it ca to jabbing at Lin Xi.
"Damn it, just saying that makes angry. Yesterday I used a smurf account to curse at an idiot for over a hundred replies, sigh! I'll help you open the gifts." Lin Xi began to rip open the fan-sent gifts, and Zhao Mingwei casually picked up a few and started checking them out.
Suddenly, he saw a packaged fried chicken cutlet. Sending food was a common interaction thod for fans living around Junlin Club, but most clubs banned it altogether, even prohibiting fans from sending gifts directly. Junlin Club was the only exception, which even had a dedicated security check station built.
The chicken cutlet was indeed from Zhao Mingwei's frequently visited place on Jiang City food street, but the note on it made Zhao Mingwei's hand freeze montarily.
The note had simple content, only four words long.
Thank you, keep it up!
Zhao Mingwei stared at the four words for a long ti in silence. He didn't say anything and opened the plastic bag to start eating the chicken cutlet.
"Lin Xi, will you join the ga tonight?" Zhao Mingwei asked while eating.
"For sure, I have to join. I got a level twenty-five epic hand cannon yesterday but haven't had much chance to use it." Lin Xi suddenly rembered sothing and added, "Old Song will join too. He contacted yesterday, his ga ID is Mo Shigui."
Old Song's real na was Song Zhenning, a coach for the Upper City Nuclear Team, and he was a forr teammate who had established the Junlin dynasty with Zhao Mingwei. Three years ago, he had a disagreent with Junlin Club's managent, was forced to retire, and moved to Upper City Nuclear Team as a coach.
"Old Song has an account too? Let's arrange a ti tonight to run so instances together." Zhao Mingwei said.
......
In the morning, Jiang Qiao was still benefiting from the Plane Fragnt, considering how to utilize the twenty-two square kiloters of land and to whom the one hundred player slots should be given.
But what really caught Jiang Qiao's attention was that the area of star map exploration had expanded.
"There are so many fragnts around Blue Star..." Jiang Qiao held the System Book, which displayed Plane Fragnts of different colors.
These Plane Fragnts remained stationary, unlike the scarlet and jet-black planes that wandered around, devouring others.
The System Book also included the creator's latest explanation from Jiang Qiao.
'These new Plane Fragnts can be viewed as extra instances and side quests in the ga, each with its own operating rules. Once the invasion feature is activated, we can let players enter them to gather the energy needed to create worlds and increase the server's player limit. Right now, I highly recomnd this Plane Fragnt.'
After reading the explanation he wrote, a completely white Plane Fragnt quickly zood into Jiang Qiao's view.
At this mont, Jiang Qiao saw all the data of this Plane Fragnt.
Special Plane Fragnt
Plane Category: Magic·Supernatural.
Civilization Level: None.
Plane Size: Ten kiloters.
Creature Level: 30~60.
World Rules: Incomplete ti cycle, incomplete life cycle, complete physical laws, interdiate magic laws...
These data were not much, but Jiang Qiao focused on the Plane Introduction attached by himself as the creator.
'This plane is a derivative fragnt of a complete world, comprising rely one tall tower. Creatures from another world have spent hundreds of years challenging this tower but none have reached the Tower Master's presence. This plane contains only one self-aware entity, while other challenge creatures resemble in-ga monsters with fixed attack patterns. Lastly... Hai Lan's current level is insufficient to detect a complete world plane, but you can bring players to challenge it for further information—Creator, Jiang Qiao.'
"Reading my own notes feels weird." Jiang Qiao finished reading and comnted, "Isn't this a Sky Tower? Or... a Tower of Death? Well, I think it's perfect for players to level up, and it can increase the server's player limit. Let's go with this."
Jiang Qiao now needed to achieve four creator trics: Creation Energy, the server's player limit, the ga map area, and the player level cap...
He had ways to obtain the first three trics by killing creatures from other planes. Players earned experience while Jiang Qiao gathered creation energy, and the server's player limit increased as well.
Expanding the ga map required complete absorption of other Plane Fragnts. This was simple too; Jiang Qiao could easily swallow one or two small Plane Fragnts to expand further.
The tough part was the player level cap, which was essentially the maximum level for all creatures in the ga.
For now, Jiang Qiao could only create NPCs and monsters up to level fifty. To raise the level cap, he needed to collect Hai Lan's Divine Fragnts.
"I rember there's a Divine Fragnt of Hai Lan near Blue Star." Jiang Qiao searched on the star map and indeed found a deep blue Plane Fragnt.
Hai Lan's Divine Fragnt World·Small.
Plane Category: Magic·Supernatural·Chaotic.
Civilization Level: dieval.
Plane Size: Thirty-seven kiloters.
Creature Level: 50~60.
World Rules: Incomplete ti cycle, incomplete life cycle, complete physical laws, advanced magic laws...
Plane Introduction: Don't even think about it! We need all players at the max level to tackle this instance. There are a bunch of annoying creatures inside, so hurry up and recruit more people, increase the server's player limit, and level up yourself—Creator Jiang Qiao.
Am I roasting myself? Also, shouldn't I be more serious in creator mode?
Jiang Qiao found these notes rather speechless, but they did indeed remind him it was ti to publicly reveal this ga to Blue Star's players.
