Happy people from Blue Star

What happened to iced tea is not an isolated case.

On the eastern front, players engaged in an offensive and defensive battle with the Batmen.

But... the players are actually losing ground.

The reason is simple. There are too many batmen, and they are getting stronger and smarter.

It’s okay if a player dies, he will just drop some equipment and lose experience.

But if the NPC dies, it really cannot be "refreshed" again.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but this game is too realistic. The despair, helplessness, and wailing of many NPCs before they die are a torture for most players.

There are many people like Bing Hongcha. More than half of the combat players cannot bear to see the tragic scene of a child dying, and choose to retreat from the front line.

The players who stick around, as well as some guilds, will choose to "recruit people" to replace the old with new ones.

Bing Hongcha is a player who has just been on the Eastern Front for a short time, no more than a month.

The priest of the guild patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. If we don't fight hard, more children will die."

"Why aren't there more people coming to help?" Bing Hongcha wiped away her tears: "We have too few people on the front line. If there were more people, we might be able to push back."

The pastor sighed and said, "In fact, there were a lot of people at the beginning, but then the number of people gradually decreased."

"Why, a bunch of cowards, are you afraid of losing experience and levels?"

The pastor shook his head: "They are just like you, they can't stand seeing such tragic things."

"Will hiding be of any use?" Bing Hongcha said angrily.

"It works." The pastor said with a wry smile, "Do you know how many times I have retreated from the front line in the past ten years?"

"Have you ever backed down?"

"Yes, six times. Each time, we had to rest for about half a year before we could come back." The pastor said calmly, "Almost everyone in our guild has experienced retreating from the front lines. Don't blame them. Few people can endure such a cruel war. It's actually a good thing that they are at the back."

"Good thing?"

"They are making equipment, providing support, and donating money in the rear." The priest shrugged. "Although most of the players did not go to the front line, they really helped a lot. Besides... according to the official mission, what we have to do is to slow down the attack speed of the Batman and buy time for the French Big Three."

"Delaying time? It's been ten years! What have they prepared?"

The pastor laughed and said, "Have you not noticed that there are more and more believers and pastors in the Church of Light?"

Bing Hongcha hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Then that scumbag Hardy created the Dragon Knight, and he also became the prince of the elves. Now he should be fighting for power and unifying the power of the elves."

The priest scratched his head and said, "As for the hero, I'm not too sure. But there is news that he went to the demon tribe. I guess he wants to defeat the demon tribe."

"I hope they can hurry up." Bing Hongcha said angrily, "Every year they delay, I don't know how many women and children will suffer. It's been ten years, and how many more decades will there be."

"But I have to say, this game is real." The pastor sighed and said, "In real life, hot weapon wars often last for more than ten or twenty years. For a cold weapon war, it is normal for dozens or even hundreds of years to last."

"They are all excuses." Bing Hongcha sneered: "Those so-called heroes are just waiting for us to sacrifice, using human lives to consume the bat people's combat power. When the time is right, they will come to reap the fruits of victory."

"Actually, that's not true...France is thousands of kilometers away from here. If we really send troops to fight, it will be extremely costly, and it will be a..."

"I'm going to log off." Bing Hongcha interrupted the other party's explanation and prepared to find a safe place to log off.

The pastor sighed. In fact, he had had such an experience before, as had other people on the front line.

They have been on the front line for so long, how could they not understand Bing Hongcha's mood change from a life player to a combat player.

It’s just… Whether it’s in reality or in games, there’s no real fairness.

He wanted to say a few more words, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a purple mist floating over from the eastern sky.

"what?"

The purple fog was just a small piece at first, but it soon grew larger and then spread all over the sky.

When we got closer, we discovered that there were densely packed grey dots hidden in the purple mist. When we got even closer, we saw that these grey dots were all bat men flying in the air.

"Why are there so many..." The pastor shouted, "Evacuate first, we can't win."

"The other party is flying, how can we escape?"

"Batman doesn't fly very fast, and his flying distance is not very long. We can escape."

After saying that, the priest ran away first, and the two guild members who were protecting him also left.

Bing Hongcha narrowed his eyes, hid directly in the bushes, and then turned on the invisible mode.

Soon, a large number of bat men flew over his head.

He looked up and saw the bat men, and all the courage he had just felt disappeared.

Because there are too many of them, so densely packed together, like a plague of locusts.

Bing Hongcha subconsciously turned on the video recording function to record everything in front of him.

There was a flapping sound of wings in the air. Bing Hongcha became alert and was about to dodge, but at this moment, a long spear with lightning attached to it fell obliquely from the sky and pierced him directly.

"I'm not... invisible."

Bing Hongcha's health bar continued to decrease, and he had little strength left, but he still saw a bat man with a white body, as white as plaster, falling from the sky.

The other person was obviously a man, and unlike the short hair on the face of the average bat man, this person's face was very clean and had smooth skin. There was also a lavender glow in his eyes.

"Are you the undead?" The bat man landed in front of Bing Hongcha and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that I could hunt such an interesting enemy just after I woke up! Come on, tie him up and send him to the prison."

"Don't think about it!"

Bing Hongcha took out a scroll from the system backpack and tore it up with the last of his strength.

After the violent explosion, Bing Hongcha's vision went dark.

After a distorted scene, he was reborn at the resurrection point set before.

He looked at his equipment, all of it gone, and was only wearing a pair of briefs given by the system.

But it doesn’t matter, the equipment he dropped is standard equipment, made by the players in the rear life, and is very cheap.

The main point is that the quantity is large and you are satisfied with it. Even if you lose your equipment in the battle with the bat man, the guild will subsidize you and send you a new set.

He opened the system interface and sighed, "I'm going to drop a level again..."

Then his expression froze. "Why did I drop three levels... What happened? I lost 30% of my total experience points? Shouldn't it only be 10%? Is there a bug?"

Bing Hongcha was stunned. He then immediately opened the guild chat channel and was about to talk about this when he found that the guild was discussing this issue.

Some guild players who were not on the front line were killed by the bat people, and they also lost 30% of their total experience.

"It turns out I'm not the only one. The government should provide compensation."

Bing Hongcha breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to level up. It took him five years to reach the third level. The later the level, the more experience needed for upgrading.

At this point, Ice Tea has assumed that it is a system error.

But unexpectedly, two hours later, the official announcement was made: Regarding the Eastern Alien Front, the problem of 30% loss after the character's death was a setting deduced by the game AI itself. Within the scope permitted by the game, the new expansion pack "Alien Front" was officially launched.

As for the specific content of the expansion pack, please explore it in the game by yourself. I wish you all a happy gaming experience.

As soon as this announcement came out, the gaming forum exploded again.

A large number of players withdrew from the front line as they did not want to lose so much experience.

So all of a sudden, the combat power of the players on the front line went from a standing army of about 90,000 to 50,000.

The pressure on the eastern front increased greatly, and the number of enemies also increased, so the entire front was retreating westwards.

Large numbers of ordinary civilians died.

Hardy also knew about this.

After all, there are many players in his bureaucracy, so it is easy for him to obtain information from the front.

"It seems that Batman has finally started to take action." Hardy held the intelligence and sighed softly.

This also means that the divine realm has been completely lost.

Sure enough, that night, the consciousnesses of three goddesses immediately appeared in his sea of ​​soul consciousness.

The goddess of light Aya, the world tree, and the old acquaintance Fina.

When Hadi entered soul consciousness, the three goddesses were surrounding Slaanesh.

The expressions of these three goddesses are not very good.

When they saw Hadi coming over, they put away the unhappy expressions on their faces.

Fina took the initiative to run over and threw herself into Hadi's arms: "Finally I see you, you playboy... did you miss me?"

“Very much.”

"That's pretty much it."

Fina turned around, wiped her tears gently, then turned around and said with a smile: "You are still as annoying as before."

Hardy smiled. Fina has been a god for more than 10,000 years, but she is still as arrogant as before.

Aya and World Tree also came over, both of them had calm expressions.

After all, both of them 'chat' with Hardy from time to time.

But after Hardy looked at the three of them, he looked very serious and asked, "How are you doing? You seem to be in a bad condition."

World Tree smiled bitterly and said, "All resources have been used up. Aya and Fina's kingdoms have been shattered. Almost all of their heroic warriors have died in the battle. Only a small group is left."

Hardy looked at the two men, unsure how to react.

The kingdom of God has been shattered, which means that Aya and Fina's strength will be greatly reduced.

"But there is good news." World Tree smiled mischievously: "Enemy too!"

Hadi breathed a sigh of relief: "In other words, now it all depends on how the battle in the mortal world goes."

"Yes." Aya smiled, then looked at Slaanesh next to her: "But Hadi, you have to explain to us why you put this ugly thing in here."

Slaanesh was originally trembling with fear, but when he heard this, he immediately became angry. He rushed in front of Aya, and the front armor of their two people collided.

She roared: "Check your conscience, look at my face and body and tell me again, who is the ugly thing?" (End of this chapter)
