"I knew it! What kind of society is this? With such a huge incident happening, the imperial court can't just stand by and watch us die!"
"Excellent! The weight of the rock is truly reassuring! As expected of my Great Rock Empire!"
After Kayaba Akihiko's intimidation, the sudden hope gave the bewildered players a sense of security.
Inspector Megure waited five minutes until the players calmed down before slowly speaking:
"Unfortunately, with our current technology, we are not able to send everyone out so quickly."
But please rest assured, as long as you follow the instructions of our staff, your personal safety will be guaranteed.
Another uproar arose, but this time it was much quieter.
Inspector Megure raised his hand to quell the commotion and said:
"Let me introduce you. This is an expert from the Special Disaster Countermeasures Bureau whom we have specially invited. Next, this gentleman will explain the specific methods of rescue to you."
Amidst the puzzled expressions of the crowd.
Shaka walked slowly to the front of the central fountain. Chuchun appropriately pointed the camera at Shaka's position, so that his face replaced the image projected in the sky.
"quiet."
Xia Jia's expression turned serious, and he shouted loudly.
The surrounding noise stopped instantly, and a sense of awe from a higher level of existence suddenly erupted from Xia Jia.
Shaka, who invaded the game using descent magic, possesses complete soul attributes and, on a spiritual level, has an effect similar to "spiritual pressure," inspiring awe in those around him.
"Inspector Megure and Kayaba Akihiko have both made it very clear: until the Imperial Court achieves a technological breakthrough and completely subdues the criminals who created everything, we can only save ourselves by following their methods!"
"That is, a level-based game!"
Upon hearing this, although everyone had doubts, they did not immediately refute it due to the pressure of Xia Jia's soul.
Xia Jia paused for a moment and continued:
"You might be wondering, if this is a walkthrough, what do we need the police for? Do you think the police know more about the game than us players?"
A few people in the crowd nodded. A few others were dismissive, but none of them spoke, simply waiting to hear what was to come.
Xia Jia closed his eyes, and after a moment, said in a loud voice:
"But I must tell you, this is not a game! It is a premeditated terrorist attack! Just like earthquakes, mudslides, and other sudden and serious events. Everyone here has a responsibility and obligation to cooperate with the imperial court's rescue efforts."
Seeing that the expressions on everyone's faces were starting to turn unfriendly, Xia Jia explained:
"In a normal game, you can PK, steal monsters, and freely explore dangerous locations for treasure chests! You can even treat human lives like dirt for resources, but not now!"
"Life is only once! Death is the end. You need better resource allocation, to gather the strength of 10,000 people, to divide the work and cooperate, and to complete this game as quickly as possible!"
At that moment, a man with red eyes and a skull mask shouted from the crowd:
"You mean you want us to hand over all the items we get to you for distribution?"
Xia Jia glanced at the man, narrowed her eyes, and said:
"Yes!"
"We will use various methods to select the players best suited for combat and allocate more resources to top talent. For example, those closed beta testers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, discontented voices erupted from another part of the crowd:
"Are you kidding me! This is robbery!!"
A man with a strange, spiky hairstyle stepped out from the crowd.
Tooth King...
This person's features were so distinctive that Shaja recognized him immediately.
This is also a very outstanding character. Xia Jia's impression of this person is neither good nor bad. Although he has flaws such as liking to use moral blackmail and being stubborn, he is still capable.
He came up to Shaka, pointed at his nose, and said:
"You just want to seize everyone's resources and take all our equipment for yourself! You selfish bastard!"
Xia Jia glanced at the guy, revealed a warm smile, and said calmly:
"I think you haven't figured out the situation yet."
"To put it in terms you can understand, this place is now under military control. You will all be treated as serving soldiers and placed under my command."
"All you need to do is obey orders and follow commands."
Most people fell silent upon hearing this.
Xia Jia paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, this will be recorded in your files, which will be a huge advantage for your further education and employment. Those who perform exceptionally well can be admitted directly without taking the entrance exam, or they can join the military."
"But if there are those who deliberately cause trouble and resist the implementation of government orders..."
Shaga sneered as he looked at the red-eyed man wearing a skull mask.
"Shoichi Shinkawa. He's a rich kid, and he has a younger brother. He's been sickly since childhood, so he was denied the right to inherit the family business. His father is the director of a hospital, and I think he probably doesn't want to be involved in unnecessary investigations because of you."
The red-eyed man shrank back, his eyes flashing with a dark light.
Xia Jia then looked at Ya Wang.
"Ya Wang, construction site foreman, I remember you have a daughter, right? She's very cute and only in elementary school."
Ya Wang bit his lip and took a step back in horror: "You, how did you know?"
Xia Jia shrugged: "Don't you understand yet? All your information was confirmed by the police at the same time the game malfunctioned. Your interpersonal relationships, relatives, friends, everything was recorded."
So, let's face reality.
Shaga opened her eyes, her sharp gaze sweeping over everyone in the square:
"This is not a game! We don't offer you the so-called 'fun' of competing for leaderboards and plundering resources!"
There was silence.
"Of course, we are not demons, and we will not force everyone to their deaths."
Shaga smiled again: "I have three options for you to choose from."
Once the players had calmed down, Shaka continued:
"The first, safest, and most suitable method for everyone."
"You can stay in the town of beginnings for the next month. We will reallocate the resources at your disposal and provide you with a minimum amount of food and lodging."
"What you need to do is use beginner equipment to practice in the air until you improve your skills. Then wait for the supply from the players in the next tier."
"Of course, you will also receive some tasks that can be completed without leaving the city, such as practicing life skills."
"In short, you will become the logistics force and bricklayers supporting the top players."
"After top players break through to the fifth level, you may be sent to the main city to search for lost items in order to earn a lot of Cole to supply the troops."
"The rest is just waiting for others to complete the game."
……
Upon hearing this, most players showed expressions of joy. Those who had no confidence in completing the game, or those who valued their lives more, all breathed a sigh of relief. Nobody wanted to risk their life; if there was no other way, everyone hoped someone would take their place.
Only a few arrogant individuals frowned slightly.
However, Shaga quickly offered a second solution.
"Secondly, they belong to the mid-level players."
"For players who have a certain level of skill, a deep understanding of the game, and are reliable and obedient to orders, we will provide you with a full set of heavy armor."
"Your task is to level up, serve as backup for the strategy team, and be the bulk harvesters of high-level materials."
"Your task is to clear all quests that are 5 levels below your own level, and to provide crafting materials for players who specialize in crafting."
"We will ensure that each team has at least 20 people, so that even if there is an accident, we can all evacuate."
The sheer number of players, their overwhelming level advantage, and the fact that they were fully armored ensured their survival and silenced most of the critics.
As for the end.
Shaka curled the corners of his mouth:
"Thirdly, just as you suspected, the most dangerous group is the [Strategy Team]. I'd like to ask, are any of you closed beta testers willing to join us?"
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Xia Jia shrugged, realizing that seeking advantage and avoiding harm is human nature.
So Xia Jia clapped his hands, and Sato Miwako led about 30 players back from the direction of the city gate.
They walked through the crowd as if being publicly executed.
Xia Jia looked at the thirty people in front of him and said, "Those who chose to leave the city immediately must have had intelligence, right?"
"Everyone, would you be willing to join the strategy team? Even just providing information or simply searching the lord's room would be helpful."
Xia Jia narrowed his eyes: "Of course, this is entirely voluntary."
Xia Jia glanced around and saw that only a few people opened their mouths, but none of them dared to speak.
He also spotted the Double-Knife Guy, who was hiding in the crowd and had a delicate, feminine appearance.
"I'm willing to join!"
