Chapter 881 We Don't Have Much Time Left
The Town of Beginning was still buzzing with people. After the initial panic, uneasiness and hesitation, the players finally settled down and began to explore the world in front of them. Players talking and leveling can be seen everywhere, and the entire starting town is also extremely lively.
But in Fang Zheng's eyes, all he saw was a surging undercurrent.
"How many people are on the list today?"
Fangzheng put down the drink in his hand and looked at Argo who was sitting opposite him. Although his question sounded endless, Argo still gave a quick answer.
"Twenty-seven."
"It seems that there is not much time left for us..."
Hearing Argo's answer, Fangzheng frowned. And Argo was a little curious, of course she knew what Fangzheng was asking about. In fact, one of the tasks Fangzheng entrusted to Argo was to ask her to go to the stele in the Black Iron Palace every day to check the names and numbers of players who died there. Although Argo didn't know what Fangzheng wanted these for, she still agreed to accept the commission.
But right now, hearing Fang Zheng's emotion, Argo couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
"What's running out?"
"time."
Fangzheng said again with an emphatic tone, and then he looked at Argo again.
"Haven't you found a suitable player yet?"
"How can it be so easy."
Hearing Fang Zheng's request, Argo rolled his eyes angrily.
"You want a solo player who can keep up with you and has outstanding strength, but this kind of person is so hard to find. I contacted a few people before, and although they showed interest, they immediately rejected your team number. It's..."
"That's quite normal."
Fangzheng is not very surprised by this. Right now, there are only six people in his team. If he is exhausted, he will be a small team. Even if those solo players want to join, they will find those big guilds with large numbers of people, not him. small team. After all, according to Fangzheng's requirements, they must be people with certain strength. Such people are also very proud of themselves. If they want to join, they will naturally find teams and guilds with many people.
"But then again, why do you say we're running out of time?"
Argo explained casually, but immediately focused on Fangzheng's answer just now. After all, this is not just a game, she is also worried about her own life!
But this time, Fangzheng didn't answer immediately, but asked Argo back.
"Do you remember the number of people you informed me two days ago?"
"Hmm... I remember five people were added the day before yesterday, and nine people were added yesterday...but it's nothing."
Argo recalled it carefully, and then immediately gave the answer, but in Argo's view, this is not a big problem. Because there are as many as 10,000 players trapped in the game, so far, except for the 300 people who died of various reasons on the day of the game's public beta test, from the second day onwards, the number of players who died The increase has been very slow, especially after the release of Fang Zheng's "Survival Manual", the number of player deaths has dropped further.
So far, there are less than 500 people on the "death list" of the Black Iron Palace. In Argo's view, this is already very good. Although there are still people who die, Argo can't do anything about it. People can't think about it or have accidents...... She is not a fairy.
"That's pretty telling."
Fangzheng shook his head, then he stared intently at Argo.
"You and I have practiced levels together, and you should be very clear. As far as the current level is concerned, almost most players have not yet left the novice area. In fact, there are not many players in the entire novice area that can endanger them. Elements. That is, if one is careful, they will not die at all."
"...Maybe someone accidentally encountered a hidden boss, or stepped into a trap?"
"It's not that simple."
Fang Zheng sighed and took a sip of his drink.
"Although most of the players are still calm on the surface, the data will not lie. They have begun to become impatient."
"………impatient?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng nodded, then he turned his head and looked at the busy street not far away.
"It has been almost ten days since the game started, but the clearance of the first level is still far away. Although everyone is still patient, patience is limited. You also know that most of the players here have played online before. In the game, no matter how strong the lord of the first floor is, he is also the weakest one, if we can't defeat him in a short time, it will only make more people start to become impatient."
Having said this, Fangzheng looked at Argo again.
"If you think about it carefully, if it takes us two months or more to fight the lords of the first floor, when will we be able to pass the customs? There are 100 floors! Suppose we need two months for each lord It takes 200 months to clear the level in 100 floors, so how many years will it take?"
"……………hiss!"
Hearing Fangzheng's analysis, Argo also took a deep breath. She didn't think too much before, but at this moment, hearing Fangzheng's analysis, Argo couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart.
"But, but... Isn't the reason why it took a long time in the early stage because we players can't get good equipment, and the level is low? In the later stage, we only need to increase the level, and then if we add good equipment, we can push the lord Boss doesn't have to take that long!"
"That's what I said, but when it's about your own life, you can't ask everyone to think calmly. In fact, the sudden increase in the number of deaths is enough to illustrate the problem. So far, the first-tier lords have not been defeated. It made some people feel restless. Some of them chose radical adventures to level up, and some of them might just want to die. It’s okay to say, after all, most people can’t notice the death of dozens of people, but once the time is too long As time goes on, they will become more and more anxious, and there may be mass deaths of hundreds of people, and by then it will be impossible to turn a blind eye, and in the worst case, there may be mass panic."
"..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's explanation, Argo's face turned livid. She clenched her fists tightly, and her petite body began to tremble slightly. Argo was not an idiot either. She could understand the meaning of Fang Zheng's words. Argo became more and more frightened when he lost his life.
She almost grabbed Fang Zheng's hand, and stared at him as if she was holding on to a life-saving straw.
"So, so what can you do? You should have a way!"
"certainly."
Fangzheng nodded slightly.
"As the saying goes, a good start is half the battle. The reason why everyone is so anxious now is that so far, no lord has been taken down, so... I plan to challenge And destroy the first layer of lords!"
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"This is necessary. If the time is too short, players will mistakenly think that the lord is not as dangerous as they thought and seek their own death. If the time is too long, players will think that challenging the lord is too difficult and cause despair. One month is a very The right time can't be delayed any longer, for this... I need more manpower, at least four more people to form a team guild."
"Woo......!!"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Argo also gritted her teeth, and then she quickly turned on the system.
"Wait for me to look again, let me see if there are any who meet the conditions you need... I remember there should be a few people... I found it!"
While looking at his record quickly, Argo's eyes lit up.
"I have a few people here who are more qualified, but..."
"but?"
"The other side also has their own requirements."
"Oh?"
