Online game: As a dad, it’s reasonable to hit 999 with one hit, right?

Lin Chen just felt that something was not quite right.

The system's "propaganda" about the closure of the Novice Village seemed a bit exaggerated. If Lin Chen was the main messenger of the Hunting God Land, he should have only played this kind of information in the minds of players below level 10 in the Novice Village. After all, for high-level players... at least for Lin Chen, this matter should not have much impact on him.

However, this prompt sound should be audible to all players in the entire server, which is why Lin Chen was a little puzzled.

Lin Chen sighed. He had just used all of his Backpack Slot Expansion Scrolls to open more than forty or fifty new slots. He was about to start the second round or the World Boss related gift packs, but he had lost interest at this point. He simply closed his backpack and stood up.

Seeing that Lin Chen stood up and did not walk over directly this time, the owner of the convenience store breathed a sigh of relief.

"God... Chosen One, there are a total of thirty-six silver coins here, you... you take them." The convenience store owner handed the currency to Lin Chen and stared at Lin Chen with some fear.

After all, it was the first time that he had seen such a crazy player after being an NPC for so long.

I don’t know where he got so many things to sell. I’m almost annoyed to death by Lin Chen. It would be fine if the things he sells are of good quality, but these are all useless things.

However, judging from Lin Chen's actions after taking the currency, he didn't seem to have any intention of continuing, so the boss breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, he was a little curious. Lin Chen's behavior was a little abnormal. Like some other players who suddenly stood still and thought about things, they seemed to have heard some prompt sound.

"Another notification sound?" the boss muttered to himself. Speaking of notification sounds, he had indeed heard some passing players saying something like the Novice Village was closed.

Could it be...

Seeing Lin Chen about to leave, the boss suddenly called out.

"Chosen One, please tell me, is the system about to shut down the Novice Village?"

Lin Chen looked back at the NPC who spoke with a slightly motorcycle accent and nodded immediately.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Unlike players, NPCs cannot hear the prompt sounds that only this type of players can hear.

After getting Lin Chen's affirmation, the convenience store owner nodded thoughtfully.

"If that's the case... then... will the NPCs have to conduct a personnel promotion?" He murmured, "Maybe I'll go work in a high-level main city?"

However, just as Lin Chen was about to leave, he heard the boss mumbling. He stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"

The convenience store owner came back to his senses and said to Lin Chen, "Ah, this is not something that cannot be discussed. If the Novice Village is closed, the NPCs in the Novice Village will be 'promoted' and become NPCs in the low-level main city. Then, the NPCs in the low-level main city will come to our intermediate main city."

He chuckled, "By analogy, the NPCs originally in the intermediate main city will have a high chance of going to work in the advanced main city! After all, there are no NPCs in the advanced main city right now... Oops, I can't say that!"

He suddenly shrank his head, fearing that he would be struck to death by thunder in broad daylight.

Fortunately, after waiting for a few seconds, he found that there was nothing serious wrong with his body, so he patted his chest.

"Oh no, I won't tell you anymore, that was a close call!"

He carefully went back into the convenience store and stopped talking.

Lin Chen was somewhat curious and concerned about what this NPC said.

What does "There are no NPCs in the current high-level main city?" mean?

Could it be that NPCs, like players, are in a standby state and cannot enter the main city until it is unlocked?

At this moment, before Lin Chen had time to think about it, the reminder sound about the Novice Village continued to come into his head.

[Attention, there are only 10 seconds left before the Novice Village closes.]

Next, comes the very familiar countdown.

Ten, nine, eight...

It's like the countdown of a time bomb.

When the last countdown ended, the surroundings suddenly fell into silence.

All the players in sight subconsciously froze in place, and then a loud explosion was heard from an unknown place in the distance.

The sound was like a huge bell, passing through in waves. Lin Chen felt as if countless explosions were superimposed on each other at the same time. The noise was so terrifying that even the ground beneath his feet shook unconsciously.

"Holy crap!" Lin Chen was stunned: "Is it really a time bomb?"

Many players stumbled as if they were about to fall to the ground.

"What the hell! What's that noise! ​​What's that noise!"

"What else could it be? It's because the Novice Village has been closed!"

"Damn, this is terrifying! Are they shutting down the Novice Village or blowing it up?"

"Oh shit, there are more! Wave after wave!"

Yes, there was not just one explosion. As time went on, the sound, which was loud enough to shake the ground, became more and more frequent, and finally it seemed like a huge earthquake!

People seemed to be standing on a vibrating drum surface, and many players were suddenly knocked down.

Lin Chen was also shocked.

Oh my god, what the hell is going on?

The so-called closure of the Novice Village...

Is it closed like this?

Physical closure?

Lin Chen's mind moved, and he suddenly had the idea of ​​going to the Novice Village to take a look.
