Summoning Players into My Game-Chapter 723 - 373: Testing the Waters

Mist Mountain Region, Red Moon City.

With the influx of five million players into the city, the already crowded Red Moon City became even more packed. First-time players entering Descent of High Martial were like curious children, incredulous that everything in the game felt so real.

Whether it’s the NPCs or the various buildings in the city, it’s as if they’ve arrived in a foreign city, where everyone has their own life. All the structures are functional, and the shops lining the streets are countless. On the streets and in the sky, there are cars and flying cars coming and going. You can even see some people flying in mid-air; it’s all incredibly sci-fi.

"Is this Descent of High Martial?"

"This is amazing; it feels like living in the real world, there’s no difference at all. No wonder those who got spots stay online all the time, reluctant to log off."

"Earn Points! Earn Points! I must buy my own skyscraper in this city, hire NPCs to manage it, and live a carefree life in this world."

"I want to become a Heavenly Human Realm expert, buy a Sky Giant Ship, and invite my friends from the real world to play daily. This is definitely more prestigious than any mansion or yacht."

At this time, whether it’s the ordinary players who have just entered or the members of various major guilds, they feel like a goblin discovering a new continent, finding that Descent of High Martial is far better than they had imagined.

In reality, everyone is ordinary, and rising to prominence is incredibly difficult. But in this world, they are players. They just need to cultivate and improve their skills to easily lead a life of luxury, even live longer than in the real world, which is incredibly enjoyable.

While the new players are busy doing tasks or cultivating, the veteran players who logged in with them watch in amazement.

"Times have truly changed. Back in the day, we only had a rundown Martial Arts Hall, and we didn’t even have Basic Martial Techniques to choose from. We could only dig holes every day. But now, the newcomers can explore the entire map, and the powerful Martial Arts Techniques can be learned with Points. Earning Points is even easier with the multitude of NPCs in the streets. Just by helping them work, you can easily earn them," Twilight of the Gods remarked, watching the bustling streets filled with new players.

Back then, all of the Martial Arts Halls were painstakingly built by us brick by brick. The places we lived in would have even made rats shake their heads in disdain. But now, the luxurious buildings on the streets, as long as you have Points, you can even stay in a presidential suite with NPC service. It’s just too enjoyable.

Many veteran players nodded in agreement. The living conditions for new players now are much better than theirs back then. To get a weapon in those days, you had to gamble with your life. All they could see were rundown Martial Arts Halls and dilapidated streets.

Now there are luxurious shopping malls to explore and beautiful NPCs to admire. Even just as a sightseeing enthusiast doing a simple mining task daily, life is way better than many ordinary people in the real world.

"There’s nothing to lament," Luo Wushang said indifferently. "The living conditions for new players are indeed better now, but it’s also harder for them to stand out. Before, even being a Martial Artist or just an Advanced Apprentice meant being skilled. Now, if you’re not at the Bone Forging Realm, it’s hard even to participate in event tasks, let alone earn resources for cultivation. Moreover, with so many new players, there are bound to be considerably more experts. If you don’t work hard, these newcomers might catch up with you, and then the resources you can get will become theirs."

With Luo Wushang’s words, the veteran players became alert.

Good resources in the game are limited. Before, the population was small, and the map was vast, so there was no worry about dividing resources. But now, with the player count having increased several times and likely to grow even more in the future, if they don’t work hard, they might easily be surpassed by the so-called geniuses and experts. This game is very realistic; it’s not one where you can level up just by killing monsters. It requires the player’s understanding and effort.

A martial art that takes ordinary players two to three days to master might only take a genius one to two hours to accomplish. Especially with the involvement of major capital, as long as resources and money are concentrated slightly, geniuses and some experts can grow even faster.

By that time, resources in advanced maps may not even be available to veteran players with average or just-above-average talent.

However, Luo Wushang did not give everyone much time to ponder and directly ordered, "As per the original plan, members at the Bone Forging Realm are now squad leaders. Find newcomers with high potential, and you can use resources from the base. These newcomers will be your team members. Once they reach the Bone Forging Realm, they can become regular members of the Defense Corps. As for the rest at the Blood Coagulation Realm, follow me for action."

"Yes!"

With that, the members of Celestial Might took action.

The explosion in player numbers was a prime opportunity for Celestial Might to expand further. After all, to earn substantial resources in the game, a single player is not enough; teamwork is necessary, especially for guarding resource points and town defense, which requires a large number of personnel to take turns.

And at this moment, it wasn’t just Celestial Might that moved like this. All major teams were also actively recruiting and integrating these newcomers and having Bone Forging Realm players lead them in earning resources and training.
