The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 275: Desperately calling for help! Lu Ming leaves! (Seeking monthly votes)

[The second major event of the Sprawling City! Hurry up and log in!]
[What does it mean to build dreams for [Mind Cube]? Is it a big distribution of artificial intelligence?]
[“Specific NPCs” are they limited to characters from Project Frost? Or can they also be NPCs in the Sprawling City?]
[Isn't there a girl who can do a striptease in the Sprawling City? Can I convert her?]
[I want to use it on male NPCs!]
[Stop talking nonsense! Get the reward first! If you don’t come to support us, we will be beaten to death!]
……

In Mengjin, pages of posts popped up like mushrooms after rain.

We are not discussing the [Mind Cube] which looks supermodel at first glance.

It's the player in the wasteland who is almost going crazy and runs over here to try his best to call for help.

The pressure is too great!

It takes more than half an hour to ride a motorcycle from the bottom of the cliff to the Silver City.

Now, we have to lay the rails all the way under the impact of the endless ant colony, and then let the train loaded with materials and energy run from the Sprawling City to the Silver City...

The difficulty is off the charts!

The longer the track is, the more difficult it becomes!

The ant colony is also getting stronger in the confrontation.

Before, they could be easily burned to death by a fire, but after half an hour, a group of fiery red ants with special resistance to fire appeared in the ant colony.

Although the proportion is not high, the destructiveness is extremely high.

The wall of fire is completely unable to stop their march!
And as long as they can withstand the flames, they can quickly destroy the newly laid rails!
Players have to form a team of grenadiers specifically to target this special type of ant.

But as the battle line was extended, the grenadiers were exhausted.

Want to build more?
Not enough supplies!

Increase logistics?

The logistics are even less than enough!
——No matter what game it is, players who are willing to play logistics role are always a minority.
-
After 40 minutes, the ant colony broke through the rear defense line and destroyed a large section of railway tracks and supplies.

The players had to turn around and take back this section of road and repave the tracks.

An hour later, the ant colony's "transformation" became even more exaggerated - even the monsters in the "Monster Hunter" trailer began to appear.

Bigger in size and more lethal!

——A male fire dragon made of ants can even breathe!
Although, what came out was not fire, but a swarm of ants pouring down like a waterfall...

But the lethality is equally amazing!

An hour and a half later, after countless ants were killed in the explosion, a new "troop" appeared:

【Exploding Ants】

If one or two of these things explode, it's just like tickling you, and the damage is almost non-existent.

But if they explode together, their power is no less than that of a grenade!
Players have to start paying attention to defense.

The abandoned explosion-proof shields and bulletproof vests also began to come in handy.

……

As time went on, the battle lines became longer and longer, and defense and supply became increasingly difficult.

However, the opponents are getting stronger and stronger, and their "arms types" are becoming more and more complex.

As the players played, their progress came to a standstill.

People kept dying, but the track remained at 50% progress. Not only could it not break through, it would drop back below 50% from time to time.

"Master, master! I can't take it anymore!"

"Hey! The logistics department has been raided! Return for help!"

"It's fine if there are no tanks, but there are no armored vehicles either? I want to crush these guys to death!"

……

Countless people shouted loudly, calling for help both in the front and in the back.

"This won't work." The heroic sniper threw down the empty fuel tank.

The nozzle of the flamethrower in his hand was burned red, and he himself also showed the negative status of [dehydration].

"We need to shake someone!"

"It's already shaking, and it's shaking all the time!" Orange Juice emptied the grenade in his hand.

"No, I mean, shake the commander!" The heroic sniper shook his head, "There must be a commander to organize everyone, otherwise it will be too chaotic, and the combat effectiveness will not be fully exerted, and they may even interfere with each other!"

He had seen more than once that the logistics of transporting supplies and the fighters supporting the front line collided with each other.

Give way to each other and the speed will drop significantly.

They even interfere with each other, and the ant colony finds an opportunity to rush over and kill them all!

"Do you know a reliable commander?" Orange Juice asked.

"I didn't know him before, but now..." The heroic sniper once again sighed at his own wisdom, "Haha, just wait, I'm going to get the commander of the Iron Blood Company over here now!"

"Cover me!"

The brave sniper boldly took off his VR glasses and left his character on the fierce battlefield, then took out his cell phone and started contacting Luo Zicheng.

He is a local now too!
……

……

At the same time, several people stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the incredibly fierce battlefield below in shock.

One person couldn't help but ask, "Is this still a game?" Another person shook his head, "This is completely war-like!"

"Why does DreamBuild want to organize such a large-scale event? How much computing power does it take?"

Lu Ming thought for a moment and guessed, "The big event in Sprawling City was to promote Monster Hunter. Now supporting Silver City is to promote Project Frost, right? Isn't this game going to be 2.0?"

"This is too generous!"

"It's not just a big deal, the technical prowess is truly terrifying!"

"A new version of Project Frost and Snow? This is too good of a treat."

“When we go to Dream Building to develop new projects, will there be this kind of [big event] to promote them before they are released?”

"Now that you mention it... it's lit up!"

"Yeah! Boss, when are you leaving?"

……

Several subordinates who have already left Konjac Game are looking forward to it more and more!
I can't wait to start working.

But it just won’t open.

Because Lu Ming hasn't resigned yet.

——After they submit their resignation application, they can just leave after 30 days.
But it's not that easy for Lu Ming.

Over the past month, Fei Zhiyuan has been constantly communicating with him and even mobilized his subordinates to play the emotional card, blocking the final resignation procedure.

Do whatever it takes to make him stay.

This made Lu Ming very uncomfortable.

It also left the 11 subordinates who had already resigned with a lot of questions in their heads.

After Lu Ming was silent for a few seconds, he said something shocking: "Now."

"?" Several people looked at him in surprise.

Lu Ming had already taken off his VR glasses, took out his mobile phone, opened the draft box, found the open letter he had written long ago, and chose to publish it.

After the release, he didn't want to see the subsequent reactions.

He turned off his phone and threw it aside, then put on his VR glasses and said:

"nailed it."

"Let's go, let's go and provide support!"

After saying that, he carried a box of ammunition and boarded the rail car to join the logistics team.

Although the people behind him were surprised, they all followed with supplies.

Dear players:
Hello everyone.

I am Lu Ming, the former chief planner of "The Divine Bird".

I resigned from the position of chief planner of "Divine Bird" three days ago, and after completing the last few processes, I will also leave Konjac Games.

Please rest assured, friends who are players of "Divine Bird".

My departure will not affect the subsequent development and operation of "The Divine Bird".

In fact, the content development of the latest two versions of "Divine Bird" is no longer led by me.

Thank you for your companionship over the past four years.

Also looking forward to meeting again in the future.

——Lu Ming (January 2026.01.24, )

Lu Ming is definitely not an unknown person.

As the chief planner of "Divine Bird", he is quite well-known in the gaming circle.

It's just that in recent months, his reputation has deteriorated rapidly.

The new characters in "The Divine Bird" suddenly became bigger in size. Some players were happy to see it, and naturally some players were unable to resist it.

The old players who have invested the most emotions, as well as a large number of female players, are extremely dissatisfied with the change in direction of "Bird of Prey".

If you are dissatisfied with the game, who should you criticize?

Of course, they are criticizing Lu Ming, the chief planner!
Lu Ming remained silent throughout the whole process, silently taking the blame for his boss Fei Zhiyuan.

This led to a rapid deterioration of his reputation among players.

From a gamer who is "idealistic", "dedicated", and "values ​​players", he has become a businessman who "pursues money first", "is a slave to cash flow", and "doesn't care about games at all".

Until now, Lu Ming publicly released this farewell letter.

The players realized that they seemed to have scolded the wrong person——

"What's going on? Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

"You weren't in charge of the last two versions? Was your power taken away from you?"

"I was wondering why 'Bird of Prey' was doing so well for the past four years, and it suddenly started to go astray!"

"I'm sorry, I scolded the wrong person. So who should I scold now?"

"Do you even need to ask? The boss who cursed Konjac! The one called Fei Zhiyuan! He messed around without knowing how to play the game! He even forced the hero away!"

“@Fei Zhiyuan, your mother is dead!”
