The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 428 [Endless Rum], Strange Live Broadcast
An endless supply of sea water gushed out from a height of twenty meters.

The extremely high drop gives the water flow a strong impact.

Under the water flow, shops that were open for business were instantly submerged by sea water.

Trash cans, billboards, tables, chairs, flower pots and other sundries on the street, as well as players and NPCs...

They were all knocked down by the rushing water and were swept away into the distance without control.

In the central square, the players had just recovered from the shock of "the Caribbean Sea pouring into the Sprawling City" when they saw that the streets in the southern city had turned into rivers.

The surging "river water" is rushing towards them!

Fortunately, the roads in the sprawling city are interconnected, and after the rushing water flooded a main road, it quickly dispersed along the road network.

When we arrived at the central square, the initial momentum was gone, and the flock of flamingos were frightened and suddenly flapped their wings and flew away.

The players here didn't suffer any disaster.

However, the brave sniper watched as the sea water continued to flow. The square under his feet quickly changed from dry to wet, and even flooded over his feet at an incredible speed. His eyes slowly became terrified:
“Is the water level rising so fast???”

"Isn't this unreasonable?!"

Sprawl is a city of staggering size.

With only that one water inlet, the water level shouldn't have risen so quickly!
……

The system announcement finally came late——

“The flood is raging!”

"The Sprawling City Council calls on all residents to take action and move to higher ground to avoid flooding."

"Stop the pirates' destruction and killing, and save as many affected residents as possible!"

"Big event: [Raging Sea] has started!"

"Each time you kill an invading pirate, you will get 1 event point."

"Each time you rescue a trapped resident, you will get 5 event points."

"Each time you destroy a pirate ship, you will get 300 event points."

"Block the source of the flood and you will receive 100 million event points (shared by all participants)."

“Complete the event to get the [Tides of Fury] event-limited items - [Cross Silver Coin], [Pirate Costume], [Gorgeous Captain Hat], [Endless Rum], and have a small chance of getting special rewards.”

“Event points can be exchanged for items such as [Ship Blueprint], [Ship Figure], [Treasure Map], [Shining Silver Wine Glass], [Antique Fork], [Disposable Treasure Pointer], etc.”

"For a specific list of exchangeable items, please consult the specific NPC after setting up a temporary shelter."

"Time is running out, act quickly!"
-
The heroic sniper was just about to ponder the details when he felt a chill on his ankle.

When I looked down, I realized that in the time it took me to read the system announcement, the water had already flooded from my feet to my ankles!
I'm afraid it will flood over my calves in a few minutes!

"What a speed!"

He looked around and found that the flower beds, benches, steps, vending machines... all places higher than the ground were already filled with NPCs and players.

After a brief thought, he jumped up and hugged the street lamp. He climbed to the top of the street lamp and held on to the lamp post tightly. He carefully looked at the event reward:

"[Cross Silver Coin], a silver coin minted by the Spanish. It is the main currency in "Sailing in the Blue Sea". It is a good thing."

"[Pirate costume], garbage."

"[Gorgeous Captain's Hat], adds a little prestige when on the ship? I have never been a captain, so I don't understand."

"[Endless Rum], automatically replenished every day, magic props? This is good!"

……

The brave sniper analyzed the usage of these props based on his meager internal testing experience.

The fans can’t wait:

"What the hell is this analysis? Save the people!"

"The pirates are rushing towards you and slashing people, save them!"

"It's unbelievable! These pirates fell from a height of 20 meters, their boat was smashed to pieces, and yet nothing happened to them!"

"Here we go again! A second pirate ship!"

……

The brave sniper did not see the comments from the netizens, but heard screams of fear not far behind him.

Looking back, I saw the proprietress of the outdoor cafe in the central square being chased by pirates, running away in fear and shouting for help. "?!"

Because the proprietress is pretty, has a good personality, and opened her shop in the central square, everyone sees her every day and she is very popular among players.

Now that I see her being bullied, how can I remain indifferent?
The brave sniper leaped up without saying a word, wanting to be a hero and save the beauty.

But after he jumped out, he subconsciously threw the Kinsect hook, but nothing happened. Then he realized:

He jumped down from the top of a 10-meter-high street lamp without any protection!
It's too late to summon the dragon soul to protect himself now!
When the pirate saw his move, he paused and moved out of his attack position.

"Oh!"

The heroic sniper fell headfirst onto the bluestone floor of the square.

15 centimeters of accumulated water is not enough to relieve the force.

He just felt his head shaking violently, and his whole body rolled far away in the water.

Even the most brutal pirates were stunned when they saw what he did.

After taking a few seconds to come to his senses, he quickly rushed forward and killed the brave sniper who was dizzy and disoriented, with one sword.

In the live broadcast room, the viewers burst into laughter.

Just looking at the “Hahahaha” barrage, the brave sniper felt heartbroken.

"What are you laughing at? This is a tactic!"

"The pirates come to chop me, so they don't have time to chop the boss lady!"

"Look, the boss lady ran away and hid!"

"The strategic goal was achieved perfectly!"

The brave sniper forced an explanation, and immediately changed the subject after seeing the steps handed out by the housing manager:
"What? The official live broadcast has started? Go check it out! Go check it out!"

While operating the live broadcast software embedded in the system, he rushed to Youkexin Avenue in Beicheng District.

——If a flood were to submerge Sprawling City, there would be no place safer than the 251-story Sky Arena!

The NPCs and players there are also the most powerful group of people in the entire city!——
When the trailer for "Sail in the Blue Sea" ended, the official account of [Mansheng Metropolis] started a live broadcast immediately.

It’s just that the content of this live broadcast left the players somewhat confused——

No commentary, no host.

The live camera did not switch between the affected NPCs and the fighting players and pirates.

From beginning to end, the camera is locked on one person.

But this player who is continuously cared for by the official live broadcast room is still a very ordinary player.

"Lord of War" 10000 kills golden weapon?

No.

"Monster Hunter" high-level dragon soul?
nor.

Telekinesis does not even exist.

He was even unarmed, without even the standard swords sold in the weapon shop!

Millions of players in the live broadcast room looked blankly at the rookie player with the ID [Pang Yun] who wanted to save people but was chased by pirates and fled.

"Who is this person? Is he Xu Meng's illegitimate child?"

"Isn't it possible for an illegitimate child to have the surname Pang?"

"Where's the director? He changed the disc! Let's go watch the Dragon City Flying General beat up the pirates! Isn't the viewing experience much better than this rookie?"

"Yeah, yeah! I don't know why, but he seems to have some deep hatred with the pirates, and the fight was super brutal!"

……

The players called on the director to quickly cut the camera.

To see the disaster situation of the entire Sprawling City, or players saving people, or masters slaughtering pirates...

Nothing is more exciting than watching a rookie escape!

But DreamBuild, which has always attached great importance to players' opinions in the past, now seems to be turning a deaf ear to it.

No matter what the audience said, the camera was fixed on this unknown player.

As a result, the audience never got to see the scene of "heroes turning the tide", but instead, they followed the perspective of this little newbie and experienced the horror of floods and pirates!
