The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

Xishi Village, an open space.

Players no longer practice "Tiger's Fury" anymore; they just grab anyone and ask if you know Fat Tiger.

Many people play online games largely because of vanity.

To summarize, it's basically about having what others don't, or being better than them.

The most typical example is the various leaderboards in games, which can greatly stimulate players' desire to spend money.

In addition, this kind of server-wide announcement broadcast to a single player is an essential part of online games.

However, some game developers have overused server-wide announcements, making it so that players can trigger announcements no matter what they do. With announcements constantly flooding the screen, players' attention is inevitably diluted, and even if they receive an announcement, it's hard to gain any sense of honor from it.

Compared to this type of game, this immersive virtual reality game is completely different.

This was the first time the players had seen a server-wide announcement after playing for so many days.

Even though it only appears in an inconspicuous place like the personal interface, it still attracts players like moths to a flame.

"I thought there wasn't such a thing as a server-wide broadcast feature at all."

Peng Zhi stroked his chin: "So what we've done isn't enough to trigger a server-wide broadcast. What level do we need to go to? There must be some hidden standard."

Dog Bro also got excited, eager to level up and go on a rampage: "No matter what the standard is, even getting a cultivation manual can trigger a server-wide broadcast, so the first kill of a BOSS can definitely do it too."

"Hey, wrong game! This isn't Fantasy Westward Journey, this game is called Military Strategy."

"Isn't the 'Qingxi Manual' sold in the game store also a Tier 1 military manual?"

After thinking for a moment, Campus Spring Scenery said somewhat uncertainly, "That player named 'Fat Tiger,' isn't that the guy who ran around naked before? He even sold you 1 point of spiritual essence."

When she said the last sentence, Campus Spring Scenery turned to look at Dog Brother.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Dog Brother checked Ling Yun's transfer records and confirmed that the name was indeed Fatty Tiger: "I'll go ask him."

He was about to contact Fat Tiger to see if they could trade "Breaking Waves" privately, but after logging off and picking up his phone, he realized that he didn't seem to have Fat Tiger's contact information.

Use the phone number you previously used to transfer money to request to add me as a friend.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the friend request had not been accepted, I had no choice but to log back in.

Meeting the expectant gazes of his old buddies, Dog shook his head: "Can't get in touch, they're probably still in the game."

The campus spring scenery clicked her tongue twice and immediately said sarcastically, "Tell me, why didn't you add me as a friend in the first place? I told you not to judge a book by its cover, and you're a big boss, after all~"

"Whatever, the Tiger Fiend Technique isn't unusable, let's upgrade it first."

The entire district was in a state of flux, but someone stepped in at the right time to smooth things over.

Behind him stood a large group of people, all of whom were new players who planned to join them in hunting slugs.

Dog Brother said something polite: "That's right. If you change to a new military strategy, you have to practice it all over again. It's not as familiar as the Tiger Fiend Technique."

That's what he said, but given the choice, he would definitely prefer to practice "Breaking Waves and Collapsing".

I can't afford "Qingxi Jue" for the time being.

Of the two military manuals that one could obtain, even disregarding their levels, just judging from their names, "Breaking Waves and Collapsing" is more powerful, even without seeing the words.

"Let's go, let's take the newbies to level up first."

Dog Brother waved his hand and led a large group of players to the slug's nest.

Peng Zhi didn't go with Dog Brother and the others to kill slugs. Instead, he stayed in the open space to practice circulating his blood energy, and also waited for Old Kuai to wake up.

After all, he's already level 19, and even if he doesn't log in for several days, most players still won't be able to catch up to him.

Moreover, after experiencing the rapid level increase, it's really hard to appreciate the meager experience provided by the slug. It's better to master the "Tiger Fiend Skill" first.

Ke Yun, however, went along to kill the slugs.

The three of them, as the earliest batch of college student players, have vastly different progress.

Peng Zhi and Lao Kuai are almost level 20, while he is only level 2. Even if his level does not exceed theirs, he cannot fall too far behind.

Although he didn't say it, he was still under some pressure.

In the blink of an eye, the tribal open space returned to its former tranquility.

It's worth mentioning that, apart from Peng Zhi sitting next to the barbecue grill circulating his blood energy, there were also some players who didn't move with the main group.

A player named "Drunk and unaware of the sky above the water" was carrying a pile of junk and carefully arranging it neatly on the ground.

He painstakingly searched through the ruins of the tribe, digging out almost anything made of metal; these were the scraps of metal he collected.

Although these abandoned buildings in the village have already been looted by previous players several times.

However, the players who came before only took away the tools that were intact or barely usable, leaving behind quite a few things that were completely unusable.

Another player, whose game was called "Clouds and Smoke Form a Road," squatted in front of the pile of broken metal, carefully examining it.

After a while, he said with some regret, "There's too little useful stuff. Ah Shui, go and look for more."

"That's all, Chenglu. I know you want to get some parts to see if you can assemble an angle grinder."

Drunk and unaware of the sky above the water, he struck a pose like a bear spreading its hands: "The game's setting seems to be in the Stone Age. Forget about angle grinders, there's hardly any metal at all."

Yunyan Chenglu picked up a rusty, charred piece of copper from the pile of junk on the ground and broke it a couple of times with a little force.

"A living person can't be killed by holding in their pee, right? If not, we'll grind it manually. Think about it."

Cheng Lu winked in Peng Zhi's direction: "This game even sells food. If we can forge weapons, selling a knife for a few hundred yuan wouldn't be too much, right? That's way more profitable than opening an online store on Taobao, and we don't even have to pay for shipping."

Ah Shui tapped a pot-shaped object with his index finger: "Of course I know, the problem is we don't have any tools at all. Let alone machine tools, give me a handheld angle grinder and I can show you what traditional craftsmanship is."

Given the current conditions, they could actually manufacture a decent knife if they spent some time on it.

The problem is efficiency.

Without modern equipment, it would take a whole day to forge a good knife, let alone mass-produce it.

"Let's leave it like this for now. We'll ask Lao Wang tomorrow if we can make a machine tool by hand under these conditions."

Old Wang runs a hardware store next door to them.

Ah Shui curled his lip: "Then we might as well just bring him to play this game. Old Wang always brags that the rule of law restricts his skills. I want to see what tricks that guy can pull off."
