There's something wrong with me

Chapter 216: Amateur Players Take the Stage

After the mechanical platform was officially launched.

Four months passed in the blink of an eye.

The official government released another piece of breaking news.

'The Virtual Disaster World is officially launched. The maximum number of players in this world is five million.

Players with Superconducting chips can apply for and add new signal channels at their local Martial Department and signal stations, and connect via server 109.'

Following the announcement.

Five million real players, along with information about the new world, instantly stirred up huge waves online.

Netizen 1654...: 'New world? What type of disaster?'

Netizen 18...: 'The previous zombies were area-based disasters, is this time more serious?'

Qingqing 1313: 'Excited!'

Aotian Shenlong: '+1'

...

Many people commented below the official channel after seeing this news.

They held considerable anticipation for the new world.

Not only that.

They also went to the nearest official units today to queue up, preparing to add the virtual world channel.

Even some people who hadn't bought virtual equipment before were preparing to get one.

Because with the mass production of Superconducting chips and the Ling Stone becoming cheaper.

The price of a Superconducting chip is now only fifteen thousand.

In such a new world, as long as you are willing to work hard, it only takes about half a month's salary at most.

In terms of converted price, it was cheaper than a regular tourist trip before the era of the supernatural.

Of course, those with Supernatural Cards had priority, and there was also a purchase limit.

This time, within Zhang Feng's plan, only five million spots were allocated.

After all, virtual buildings take time to manufacture, so the current 'civilian servers' have a limit.

The monthly increase in chips for civilians is approximately one million per month.

And even after they get these chips, they can only enter fixed servers, not the official ones.

Because this virtual world has a 'Spiritual Sense lock'.

This is to prevent some players from accidentally entering the official virtual world.

One must know that the official virtual worlds are mostly used for technical research, exercises against foreign civilizations, or the production of high-spec weapons.

Every item here is a major secret.

Including everyone here, whose identities are also hidden.

So the Spiritual Sense lock is necessary.

And now.

Besides the official government having a large number of virtual buildings for research.

There are quite a few civilian servers as well.

Currently, players have access to twenty 'Zombie Worlds' with a capacity of nearly fifty million people.

These worlds are enough for them to showcase their skills.

Furthermore, under Zhang Feng's observation.

Even after playing the Zombie World for over ten years, they haven't felt bored at all.

Because complete simulation means the virtual world is the same as the real world.

Coupled with the release of various emotions, and the inventions and creations of various players, it's hard to say they would get bored.

At least from Zhang Feng's current perspective, in Zombie World 02, players have already started civilian scientific research and have created simplified small tanks.

There are even scenes of tank battles and martial artists fighting against planes and cannons.

In these virtual worlds, old aircraft technology and cannon technology are unlocked.

Players can go to the bases here and learn these 'basic technologies'.

The official government welcomes them to learn.

Including Superconducting and Z1, nothing was concealed.

After all, these don't belong to weapons, but are more like applications of batteries and materials.

However, with the opening up of these technologies a few years ago.

Some players started forming gangs, building strongholds, and playing a different kind of 'Post-Apocalyptic Lord' game.

They would even gather on Sundays for a 'gang war'.

To be honest, Zhang Feng has also watched these gang wars.

They are actually quite similar to modern gun warfare.

But the main force is still 'Professional Martial Artists'.

With their various physical qualities, plus some training, they are completely 'super soldiers'.

They would completely crush those small lords who didn't have Professional Martial Artists.

Then, what was originally a good game about fighting zombies in the apocalypse was turned into 'assassination and warfare' by them.

Zhang Feng had nothing to say about this, but he also knew their happiness was unimaginable.

As long as they could relax, it was fine.

The most obvious point is that in the past decade or so, the 'martial artist crime rate' has decreased by 20%.

This one point is enough.

Especially many martial artists, Professional Martial Artists, and ordinary people also got to know each other through the virtual world, then met offline to chat and become sworn brothers.

This invisibly increased the overall national sentiment.

Because normally, before the virtual world came out.

Professional Martial Artists, ordinary martial artists, and ordinary people generally had some sort of gap between them.

Especially as Professional Martial Artists became stronger and the gap with ordinary people widened, this was a very natural thing.

But with the opening of the virtual world, and everyone fighting side by side and playing together, this gap has also been slightly removed invisibly.

At least when Zhang Feng occasionally looks at the virtual world, he sees two gangs fighting fiercely within the virtual world, but in reality, they often gather for meals on holidays.

Among them are very powerful Professional Martial Artists, as well as ordinary martial artists, and even ordinary people with physiques only in their early 20s.

This ordinary person in his early 20s is also a leader with a strategic mind.

And is often assassinated by these Professional Martial Artists.

In the virtual world, you can 'resurrect immediately', but after resurrecting, you will appear in other post-apocalyptic worlds.

At least one day must pass before you can return to the previous apocalypse.

This is also to prevent someone from using 'resurrection technology' to have an endless gang war.

And while Zhang Feng was observing all the players.

That evening.

This commander, who was in his thirties with a physique of 20, called together everyone from his gang and all members of the opposing gang to gather at the 'Ocean Restaurant' in the City.

Including him, there were a total of forty-five people.

He planned to combine this force to discuss strategies for the new world.

Also, since it's a new world, they might as well merge and fight outsiders together.

Especially since this commander was truly capable, he even pulled strings and connections to call the restaurant's Boss, Hai Zong (the one who said he'd sell the Martial Arts Hall, and did), to get a medium-sized private room.

You must know that the Ocean Restaurant is a 'five-star restaurant' within the City!

Here, never mind ordinary private rooms, even seats in the main hall require reservations.

After all, the people in the City are not ordinary people.

Those who can come here to eat at a five-star restaurant are even more likely to be personnel from super organizations or some true supernatural elites.

For example, students who successfully graduated from the experimental primary school, then continued to the experimental middle school, and finally went to the Supernatural General School and successfully graduated, are supernatural elites.

Or they are the first batch of provincial Martial Arts Hall champions, or the first batch of Professional Martial Artists with good talent.

They are also supernatural elites, the 'successful people' in current society.

As for Grand Gym Owners and coaches, as well as some management personnel from supernatural enterprises and super organizations, they are on a higher level and would not come here to eat.

But no matter what, the people who eat here and can get a private room are already very strong.

And at this moment.

In the luxurious medium-sized private room.

The 20-physique commander was seen by everyone as a person with a strong background!

Being able to contact Hai Zong was even more impressive!

"Do you know about Hai Zong's earliest Ocean Pharmaceutical Company?"

It was also at this time.

Facing the admiring gazes of the crowd, the commander spoke eloquently: "My dad was one of the first VIP users of Ocean Company and has some connection with Hai Zong.

So getting a private room is absolutely not a problem.

And eating here and discussing important matters, when word gets out, it will reflect well on us brothers!"

"Brother is right!"

"As expected of our gang's commander, he's awesome!"

Everyone raised their glasses and toasted the commander.

Afterwards, they looked at the commander curiously, wanting to know the plan for the next world.

The commander waved his hand grandly, revealing the chip watch he had already changed on his wrist,

"Once the server opens tomorrow, we'll directly seize territory! Let's do it!"

...

"Cheers!"

"Listen to the Boss!"

It wasn't just the commander's side preparing for battle.

Currently, across the globe, and within the virtual world of zombies.

Anyone with a gang, and some who were used to being wild in the zombie world, are now gathered together to strategize and wait to fight.

And in the Data Center.

Zhang Feng felt a headache looking at these scenes through some data.

He originally wanted to see how 'his people' would perform when facing danger, but now it seems they all just want to fight.

Thinking it over.

Zhang Feng did not stop them, nor did he have the official government spread any news.

Anyway, whether they were messing around or fighting.

In the end, they could provide causal data, neuron data, and other information.

So be it.

'After they finish testing, then let the official personnel on our side test.'

Zhang Feng also understood clearly and didn't expect the players to provide any stunning disaster prevention displays.

More prevention and command knowledge, as well as corresponding causal issues.

Zhang Feng still relied on his own people.

But in the end, Zhang Feng still had the officials issue a notice.

Tomorrow's server launch live broadcast will be a global broadcast; anyone who pays attention can watch.

This was also to make these players restrain themselves slightly.

Don't do crazy things like running naked in the streets.

In the apocalypse, clothes get dirty easily, and some people really did it, just not wearing clothes.

Of course, his account was also banned for three days, and he was specifically sought out by the local Martial Department for some very speechless education.

...

The next day, 12 PM.

The disaster server was launched.

And the global officials also issued a notice, stating that the first batch involved players.

The second batch, after the players finished, would involve the Data Center.

After these players descended into this virtual world.

This was a City with complete daily facilities, but not a single person.

At the same time, amidst the players' confusion, the virtual world also gave a time prompt.

(Disaster Countdown: 720:00:00)

This one-month countdown was designed by Zhang Feng; he wanted to see what arrangements and plans they would have within a month.

The degree of freedom was very high, and with only one City's disaster level, the difficulty was not very high.

Theoretically speaking.

As long as they calmed down to research and investigate, they could find the disaster elements within this City.

Because the local meteorological bureau already had some data, they could quickly discover that this 'seaside City' was a flood disaster, basically an open secret.

At that time, based on this information, and then going to the nearest high point, self-rescue could be achieved using a clumsy method.

If they wanted to be more perfect, they could also try to save the City.

There was also a Superconducting mass production Factory here; building a seaside barrier was not a problem.

Even if they couldn't, they could build some small boats or something, salvage some basic supplies, and achieve the goal of rebuilding their homes after the flood receded.

Unfortunately, things went against expectations.

At this moment, in a certain location in the City.

The conductor was leading his people and started fighting with another gang right from the beginning.

"We found this supermarket first!"

"Stop making excuses! Isn't it just because we had a feud in the apocalypse?"

"Boss, don't panic, I'll go contain their Right Guardian and Left Guardian!"

When the two sides met, they started fighting immediately because they had a feud in the previous world.

But just as they were about to engage, the virtual world prompted that dying here meant exiting the game and not being able to re-enter within this month.

This was a setting that Zhang Feng suddenly added.

Because from a God's perspective, too many people were fighting now.

Out of five million people, nearly three million were fighting, one million were causing destruction, and the remaining nearly one million were looking for suitable weapons.

If they dared to do this, there would be no need for a disaster; the field would be cleared within a few days at most.

However, Zhang Feng wouldn't interfere with small-scale battles.

But precisely because of this, Zhang Feng also knew that a supernatural society of all martial artists was indeed a big bomb.

Especially in a virtual world where there was no responsibility, this was even more like having a weapon and a murderous intent arising from within.

More than ten years of apocalypse, although it had released a lot of their suppression, it had also released too much.

It seems that some peaceful worlds will be needed then.

But with this setting that prevented fighting, everyone also sobered up quite a bit.

Although some people were still fighting and dying, it was all within the acceptable range.

Anyway, let them play and see if they can ultimately prevent the disaster.

Thinking to himself.

Zhang Feng went into seclusion to review past data, just waiting for the final answer.

...

Unknowingly, a month passed.

When Zhang Feng came out of seclusion and went to Old Liu's office across the hall.

When he saw everything on the screen.

Zhang Feng knew he had overthought things.

Because this kind of disaster was just 'playing a game' for ordinary martial artists and professional martial artists.

At this moment on the screen, within the virtual world.

Seeing them jumping between buildings, occasionally jumping into the City submerged by the sea to swim, he knew there was a problem with their perspective on things.

Of course, this was also because he hadn't strictly required and stipulated that they must 'prevent the disaster'.

So they were mostly playing.

Especially now, as the earliest batch of experimental primary school graduates also joined this test.

Coupled with the spread of cultivation techniques, their current physical fitness was generally in the range of 110~150.

This was not to mention being drowned by a flood; even if he was in a fifty-meter building and suddenly encountered an earthquake.

He wouldn't suffer any injuries.

With their physique, it was enough to instantly shatter the building glass and then achieve a jumping-from-a-building style escape.

This was all a piece of cake for them.

"All unqualified."

Zhang Feng made a judgment about them and looked at Old Liu, who was equally speechless,

"Their homes are about to be gone, and they are still thinking about swimming in the ocean world. These kids are something else.

This past month, they really did fight from beginning to end. Did no one think about saving their homes?"

"Someone thought about it..." Old Liu pointed to the bodies floating in the City flood, "but they were all fighting, so they all went in the end."

"Okay." Zhang Feng looked at the list of personnel inside. "Every single person in this server, take them all to the Martial Department and teach them ideological education again."

"Yes..." Old Liu looked at the scene on the screen, watching these young men having fun, and couldn't help but smile,

"But if you ask me, Zhang Zong, you didn't mandate the task..."

Speaking of this, Old Liu uncharacteristically cautiously explained:

"And you also understand that they have received strict training since childhood.

Now it seems like a game task; they will definitely... relax? Release pressure?"

Old Liu basically never refuted Zhang Feng.

Including speaking up for them now, it was because Old Liu saw that Zhang Zong's tone was more like a joke, so he appropriately fought for these 'future flowers'.

Otherwise, if they really had to go to the Martial Department for education.

That feeling was not good, no different from temporary detention.

"Then verbal education." Zhang Feng heard Old Liu pleading for others and said very considerately: "Focus on responsibility.

After all, we are a Federation as a whole, and we may achieve a star migration plan in the future.

Think about it, our official staff is only so many.

When building other planets or encountering some natural disasters on planets, it will require everyone's effort.

It's impossible to rely solely on us.

Sense of responsibility, if it only relies on being told and not thinking for oneself, is basically useless."

"Yes!" Old Liu responded, and he was very happy in his heart, feeling that Zhang Zong had given him a lot of face.

But Zhang Feng added later:

"I like to measure others by myself, using my own ideas to measure many people.

But I will not require everyone to be the same as me.

So in the future, if you have different ideas, say what needs to be said.

I hope that refutations with reason and evidence like today are not the last time.

We all need to correct what is wrong and encourage what is right."

"Okay..." Old Liu didn't know how to respond for a moment after hearing Zhang Zong's words.

Because Zhang Feng was right on many major issues in the Federation.

But Zhang Feng didn't care what he thought, instead thinking for a few seconds before saying:

"The difficulty of salvaging supplies might be relatively difficult for ordinary players and professional martial artists.

But when it comes to our own people testing, these are not difficult at all."

As Zhang Feng spoke, he looked at the data of the next batch of players, who were a combination of five hundred scientific researchers and one thousand special personnel.

In addition to them, there were ten thousand skilled technical personnel who had previously participated in supernatural manufacturing projects.

"Add some difficulty for them, add five million virtual citizens, and some forces to obstruct.

See if they can solve the disaster problem and protect the safety of the citizens.

For this mission, it will also be globally broadcast as a real-time disaster teaching, serving as combat readiness teaching for the entire Federation."

Speaking of this, Zhang Feng looked at Old Liu, who was taking notes,

"These are all people from our Data Center; remember to 'disguise' them during the broadcast."
