CHAPTER 558: CHAPTER 216: THE AMATEUR PLAYERS ARRIVE

After the mechanical platform officially launched.

Four months passed in the blink of an eye.

The officials released the latest news.

’The virtual disaster world has officially launched, with a maximum capacity of five million people.

Players with superconducting chips can apply for and access new channels at the Martial Arts Department and Signal Hall locally and connect via server 109.’

With the release of the news.

Five million real players and the information about the new world caused a huge wave online.

User 1654...: ’New world? What kind of disaster is it?’

User 18...: ’The old zombie world was a regional disaster, is this one more severe?’

Gentle 1313: ’Can’t wait!’

Arrogant Heavenly Dragon: ’+1’

...

Upon seeing this message, many people left comments under the official channel.

They held high expectations for the new world.

Moreover.

They lined up today at the nearest official establishment, ready to add the virtual world channel.

Even those who previously didn’t buy virtual equipment are considering getting one.

Due to the mass production of superconductors and the decreasing price of Spirit Stones.

The price of a superconducting chip is just fifteen thousand now.

In such a new world, as long as one is willing to work hard, it is merely half a month’s salary at most.

By conversion, it’s even cheaper than a regular trip before the Extraordinary era.

Of course, those with an Extraordinary Card have priority, and purchase limits still apply.

This time, according to Zhang Feng’s plan, only five million slots were distributed.

After all, virtual small buildings require time to manufacture, so the current ’civilian server’ has a cap.

The monthly issuance of chips to civilians is about one million per month.

After obtaining these chips, they can only enter fixed servers, not official ones.

Because this virtual world has a ’Spiritual Sense Lock’.

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

It’s important to know that the official virtual worlds are mostly for technical research, foreign civilization drills, or high-spec weapon production.

Every part of it is a major secret.

All the people involved also have confidential identities.

So the Spiritual Sense Lock is necessary.

And now.

In addition to the official extensive use of virtual small buildings for research.

There are quite a few civilian servers as well.

Now players have access to twenty ’zombie worlds,’ with a capacity nearing fifty million people.

These worlds are more than sufficient for them to showcase their skills.

And under Zhang Feng’s observation.

Despite playing the zombie world for more than a decade, they don’t seem to feel any boredom.

Because complete simulation means the virtual world is just like the real world.

Coupled with emotional release, the inventions and activities by players, it’s hard to find a sense of tedium.

At least Zhang Feng sees players in the 02 zombie world have started doing civilian scientific research, even creating simplified small tanks.

There are even scenes of tanks clashing and Martial Artists engaging aircraft and artillery.

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

Players can fully learn these ’basic technologies’ at the bases.

The officials welcome them to learn.

Even things like superconductors and Z1 are disclosed.

After all, these are not weapons, more like applications of batteries and materials.

However, since these technologies were made open a few years ago.

Some players started forming alliances, building fortresses, playing the unique ’Apocalypse Lord’ game.

Occasionally, they even gather on Sundays for a ’guild battle’.

To be honest, Zhang Feng has also watched these guild battles.

They are quite similar to modern gun wars.

But the main force is still ’professional Martial Artists’.

With their various physical qualities plus some training, they are entirely ’super soldiers’.

When they meet small lords without professional Martial Artists, it’s a complete crush.

Thus, a good zombie-hacking game became ’assassination and war’ under their play.

Zhang Feng has nothing much to say about it but understands that the joy they experience is unimaginable.

As long as they can relax their minds, it’s all good.

The most obvious point is that in the past decade, the ’Martial Artist crime rate’ has dropped by 20%.

This line is enough.

Especially since many Martial Artists, professional Martial Artists, and ordinary people have connected through the virtual world, then meet offline to chat and bond.

This invisibly increases nationwide camaraderie.

Because in normal terms, before the virtual world came about.

Professional Martial Artists, ordinary Martial Artists, and ordinary people had some barriers to each other.

Especially as professional Martial Artists grew stronger and the gap with ordinary people widened, this was natural.

But with the advent of the virtual world, and through fighting alongside one another and having fun, some of these barriers slightly dissolved.

At least Zhang Feng occasionally glimpses the virtual world and finds two factions at fierce war in the virtual world, yet in reality, they often dine together during holidays.

Among them are very skilled professional Martial Artists, ordinary Martial Artists, and even ordinary people with a Constitution barely over 20.

This ordinary person with a 20-something Constitution is precisely a leader with a strategic mind.

And often targeted for assassination by professional Martial Artists.

The virtual world allows for ’immediate resurrection,’ but after resurrection, one lands in another apocalypse world.
