Moreover, Bai Ye heard that one of the twin queens seemed to be in poor condition.

"It's like all the countries on Earth are half-crippled... except for Colombia, which is intact, but they've only been a nation for a short time, haven't they?" Bai Ye couldn't help but complain.

"Then, while these countries are fighting amongst themselves, they also need to defend against the ever-present threat of the Sea Legion crisis, as well as the evil spirits in the north. And even, there are the unknown enemies high in the sky." Dr. Kal'tsit sighed.

She felt somewhat exhausted. Most of the civilizations on this land were like children who hadn't grown up, engaging in meaningless internal strife without realizing the crisis.

Meanwhile, countries that knew some of the details remained silent and quietly persevered.

The civilization and race of this generation are still worrying.

And then there were the undead that suddenly appeared...

However, Dr. Kal'tsit is much more relaxed now. After all, she now has someone she can confide in.

He knew the world was a sphere, not a flat earth; he knew the difference between a newborn and a behemoth; he knew about the starry sky and the universe…

In short, this is someone with whom you can share common ground.

This is a rare thing.

Since Princess Theresa left, Dr. Kal'tsit has never spoken so much to anyone.

'This feeling isn't so bad.'

If Theresa is a gentle older sister, then Bai Ye is like a somewhat unreliable junior. However, the similarity between the two lies in the fact that they are both reliable in crucial moments.

It's such a blessing to have someone you can talk to.

Kal'tsit couldn't help but think this.

Chapter 78 Preparing for Server Launch

After obtaining a lot of useful information from Kal'tsit, Baiye left her office.

I saw Amiya right at the door.

Bai Ye had always treated this little rabbit like a child, so when he saw her, he greeted her with a smile.

"Why haven't I seen the Doctor lately?" Bai Ye asked curiously.

In fact, he hadn't seen the Doctor for a long time. He hadn't even returned to Rhodes Island a few times, and the Doctor was a well-known shut-in.

If Byakuya were to actually see the Doctor outside, he would probably look at him like he'd seen Yato.

However, to Bai Ye's surprise, Amiya's answer actually made him show a look of dismay upon seeing Black Horn: "Mr. Bai Ye, Doctor, she went to the core city for a visit and study. What a pity, she missed you!"

Amiya's eyes lit up when she saw White Night.

However, she soon felt a little regretful.

After all, Bai Ye was not in the core city at this time.

"You actually let her go out alone?" Bai Ye had no doubt about how close Amiya and the Doctor were. When Bai Ye mentioned that there was a Doctor in the core city, Amiya was the most enthusiastic one.

She was even more proactive than Dr. Kal'tsit in rescuing the doctor.

Moreover, although Amiya looks much younger than the Doctor, she is a little adult and has awakened her motherly nature far too early. In comparison, the Doctor seems like a child.

“Dr. Kal'tsit sent someone with the Doctor, so there shouldn’t be any safety issues. Everyone on Rhodes Island is very strong.” Amiya had great confidence in the Rhodes Island operators.

Then, Amiya said softly and somewhat hesitantly, "Besides, I have my own plans... um, I want to give her a surprise."

"What surprise is it?" Bai Ye asked, following the girl's words.

"I'm going to perform at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, and I'm thinking of... secretly practicing while the professor is away on a business trip."

"By the way, Mr. Bai Ye, you must keep this a secret!"

Amiya made Bai Ye lean down and then whispered in his ear.

"no problem."

"Mr. Bai Ye, will you be coming to the Mid-Autumn Festival gala? I know you're quite busy, with branch affairs to manage..."

This is the second time Bai Ye has received an invitation to the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

He had actually hesitated about this before, because in addition to the Rhodes Island main ship, he also had a branch in the core city, where the Reunion Movement and Rhodes Island also had their own celebration party.

But who could resist a little rabbit looking at you with its big, watery eyes?

"I will attend."

Bai Ye is not a devil, so naturally he won't disappoint children.

He can just run back and forth between the two places a few more times that night. Anyway, now that he has the wind chimes, he has a stronger grasp on his powers and his flight speed is faster.

If Nian knew that Bai Ye was using his meticulously crafted weapon to travel, I wonder what he would think.

-------------------------------------

In the days that followed, Bai Ye was not idle either.

The Emperor of Ursus agreed to Bai Ye's proposal made at the previous meeting in the core city, and approved Bai Ye's establishment of adventurer guild outposts and reception points throughout Ursus.

This decision was naturally within Bai Ye's expectations.

Bai Ye knew that the emperor would not give up any opportunity to make the Ursus Empire strong again.

He had no prejudice against the undead, that is, the players.

Bai Ye also received the reply from the Pope in Lateran, without any obstruction.

In Colombia, although White Nights did not have any contact with the authorities, Duke Duck had a certain influence there, so the plan was not thwarted.

At this point, the Adventurers' Guild's strongholds will cover Lungmen, Ursus, parts of Columbia, Laterano, and the snowy region of Sherag.

On Rhodes Island, there would naturally be a dedicated office serving as an administrative office.

Bai Ye is responsible for promoting the construction of association outposts in various locations.

Bai Ye's requirement was that existing buildings could not be used casually; instead, a new, uniform building had to be constructed to serve as the association's external service window.

Furthermore, the construction location must be close to the player's Awakening Temple in each city—the so-called resurrection point main crystal.

Of course, the native inhabitants of Terra cannot see these respawn points that are only accessible to players, so the locations are designated by White Night.

Bai Ye initially thought that without players, building outposts would be more difficult. But you can always trust the building skills of the native inhabitants of Terra.

This is a civilization that can build skyscrapers, and even mountains and lakes, on mobile platforms and move them around everywhere. For them, engineering construction is naturally a piece of cake.

Bai Ye didn't need to worry about any of these things; the big shots took care of them quickly.

Byakuya traveled all over the world using his superior mobility, and was very satisfied with the completed building.

The association's advantage lies in its ability to collect player information, allowing it to exert some control over players in a particular region. Unfortunately, Terra currently lacks a global network, thus limiting it to regional databases.

Data for each region is stored separately.

Bai Ye didn't mind that the native inhabitants of Terra knew this data; after all, he could obtain all the complete data through Luna. Besides, what use would knowing just usernames and virtual characters be?

And so, the efficiency of the bigwigs far exceeded Bai Ye's expectations.

From the end of the talks to the final decision and the completion of construction, it only took a little over a month. The Adventurers' Guild's bases had woven a more complete network across most of the Terra continent.

The server is ready to open.

Luna kept a close eye on the situation. After Bai Ye finished "upgrading" the "Terra Server", she immediately issued an announcement that the server was ready to open.

Bai Ye hasn't paid attention to the forum for a long time.

Because once the server shuts down, the flow of time in the two worlds will differ.

On Terra, at least a month has passed; while on Earth, which is the real world as perceived by the players, the "game's" server "upgrade" began at 10:00 AM and continued until 16:00 PM.

In reality, only 6 hours had passed.

There won't be many posts during this period.

Therefore, compared to usual, the forum was as if it had fallen into a dead silence.

There are posts, but not many.

And now, the server launch announcement has been released.

The forum has become lively again.

The pie expert and the boat expert were instantly resurrected.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Groundbreaking Event

"The study of 'cakes' has collapsed; there will be no more 'cakes' studies!"

"The study of 'cakes' no longer exists..."

"Saving costs: In the future, we can accept tasks from the official channels, which will be more secure."

"Mom no longer has to worry about me being scammed by those cunning NPCs!"

"College students, please do not secretly use your mobile phones while attending class."

"The bug that prevents you from taking your pants off hasn't been fixed yet; this is a constant reminder!"

"Why hasn't PVP been released yet? Are we really just going to have to fight in the wild? The official league is being run like a shoddy mess."

……

The official announcement immediately became a hot topic. And it wasn't just on forums; the news of Ark's launch also instantly trended on other platforms.

Bai Ye was certain that after the release of version 3.01, Arknights Online would become even more popular. Luna's plan and idea were easy to understand: as long as more players were brought in, it would facilitate the fusion of the two worlds.

In addition, Bai Ye also noticed that besides Earth players, there were many more Martians among the IP addresses displayed.

Yes, there are no moon people.

Because there are no people on the moon at all; it is a fully automated industrial base and the location of the Luna mainframe.

Mars is a bit tricky, though. It's now a forging world, and it once housed a giant starport.

If you want to embark on a journey of space exploration, Mars is the starting point for all starships.

However, if the two worlds merge, Mars will inevitably be abandoned, so Luna has already begun to relocate Martian industries and population to Earth ahead of schedule.

It's no wonder that since that massive explosion, the Martian starport has not been restored to its original size; instead, it has been rebuilt in Earth's orbit.

Luna's plan may have started around that time.

……

Bai Ye only learned a little about the situation in his hometown.

Actually, none of this has much to do with him.

Because his battle is here.

Bai Ye went straight to the core city. It's currently the Terra city with the highest player traffic and activity, bar none.

Bai Ye was very curious whether this third-party commission platform, established entirely by local Terra forces and geared towards players, would achieve the desired results.

-------------------------------------

The game server opened on time at 16:00 in the afternoon.

Player "青风114514" is a newbie who just started playing. He heard that this version is the most suitable for newbies, so he spent money to buy a game pod.

After completing account registration and identity verification according to the beginner's guide on the forum, "青风114514" settled into the game pod.

The reason I chose such a strange account name is because there are just too many people named Qingfeng...

[Game pod activated]

[Nutrient solution infusion complete]
