After the panic.
What's left is just waiting.
For the players, all they need to do is wait for the game company to fix the bugs, not worrying about their safety, not even caring about life or death…
Besides…
This world doesn't have any dangerous monsters.
After spending a few days in the Otherworld, the hundreds of thousands of players gradually began to regain their composure, and many players started to band together, engaging with the native inhabitants of this world.
For the players, the native inhabitants here are all NPCs.
The levels of these commoners are very low, even some samurai are only level ten or so, only top samurai reach level thirty, which is even lower than some players who had dropped levels before the game shutdown.
Just surviving is no pressure at all for the vast number of players.
Hundreds of thousands of players, while cursing the game company, poured into various countries, starting to understand the background story of this world, seeking quests and opportunities to level up.
After all…
There are still some players at level thirty or so.
Everyone has the same feeling, that the world from this game update by the game company feels very real, as if it's a living world.
The NPCs the players encounter seem like real people, but to these players who are used to system guidance, it's still too unfriendly.
It needs enough time to slowly get used to all this.
If the players couldn't clearly feel the attributes and items like their magic points and health points are still present, they'd probably suspect they've crossed worlds…
It's just that there are still many players looking forward to logging off…
They originally just wanted to reminisce about their youth, not continue gaming, but unfortunately, they can't log out since the game system won't pop up…
This batch of players really has no choice…
As players, encountering new maps, naturally they would passively start to showcase their adventure skills, beginning their usual business in this world…
Strategy, exploration.
Based on the current exploration and intelligence feedback among players, the world they can explore and the main factions currently consist of four.
First, the Reystej Kingdom.
Second, the Bahas Empire.
Third, the Slian Religious Kingdom.
Fourth, the Dwarf Kingdom.
Compared to the three human countries, only the Dwarf Kingdom has higher restrictions, only players from the Dwarf Race can join.
This doesn't matter.
The hundreds of thousands of players crossing into the Otherworld cover all races, naturally including the Dwarf Race, thus players also received intelligence on the Dwarfs.
Besides the factions and maps currently explored by the players, there are also some unknown ones like the Elf Kingdom and Dragon Race, etc…
Of course, these aren't a problem for the players.
For now, the maps they've encountered are relatively low-level.
Reportedly, a magic profession NPC with the strongest power in the Bahas Empire is the head of the Imperial Magic Province, but can only use Tier Five Magic, which is downright weak…
According to the players' speculation…
Maybe the game company has just started designing, hence opening low-level maps, possibly letting Uehara Naraku, the world boss, secretly find ways to repeatedly destroy their levels and equipment, making them revisit the new version of maps…
Just that this map has no problems…
It's the game company's system full of bugs instead.
Once the game company fixes the bug with the logout system, they must demand compensation, at least a Ring of Destiny as compensation!
In some corner of the world.
Uehara Naraku has been secretly monitoring everything here, he has frozen time in the other real Earth world within his Black Hole Universe.
These players believe this is the game world…
Then it can only try to turn this Otherworld into an actual game world first.
As long as this Otherworld can be enclosed within the Black Hole Universe, Uehara Naraku can try connecting the Otherworld—Game World—Real Earth World.
It's just that…
With Uehara Naraku traversing to the Otherworld…
Now, a series of tasks on him has finally refreshed!
To be strict, this Otherworld is the true master world, as it's the main body of two-dimensional worlds!
Everything that happened before…
Was merely to seek benefits!
Yet every time Uehara Naraku sees the main mission, he inevitably has some strange expressions on his face, faintly a bit embarrassed…
Main Mission: Spread your fear in this world, current task progress 3%.
If he remembers correctly, on the first day of crossing into the Otherworld, this number was less than one percent, it rose to one percent two days ago, why suddenly jumped to three percent today?
Uehara Naraku couldn't help gritting his teeth, if he recalls correctly, the people who know his name in this world should only be that group of players still exploring, right?
Although this group of players seem to be helping him complete tasks…
But these guys surely must be saying nothing good!
This kind of thing…
It's definitely the norm!
No matter what trouble players encounter in this world, the first person to be cursed must be Uehara Naraku!
If it wasn't for the campaign against Uehara Naraku…
Their equipment and levels wouldn't drop so much…
If it wasn't for the game update from Uehara Naraku's company having bugs, so many players wouldn't be unable to log off now, only able to bitterly continue exploring…
If players are dissatisfied with a game…
The first to be cursed must be the president of the game company!
Because of these suddenly appearing adventurers cursing a guy named Uehara Naraku, the native commoners of the Otherworld gradually got used to hearing this name…
This name…
Seems quite unusual!
Those powerful adventurer adults, when they encounter something displeasing, keep repeatedly cursing someone named Uehara Naraku…
This name seems to be of a great villain.
The most notable incident…
A group who had just entered the Adventurer's Guild, after swiftly ascending to become steel-grade adventurers, their first words were to curse Uehara Naraku…
"That bastard Uehara Naraku is too shady, right?"
"Our rewards were just jacked by him?"
"At least give some leveling experience, right? What about the profession? At least there should be a distribution of profession levels, right? Just ended like that?"
"Are these NPCs really not messing with us? We've worked hard to achieve steel-grade adventurers, even if not given Divine Artifacts, at this stage, at least there should be a purple or blue piece of equipment, right!"
"You're jumping a bit too much there…"
"Yeah… There's a big level gap between Divine Artifacts and blue equipment…"
"Nonsense…"
The player cursing heartily, face full of dissatisfaction: "If it wasn't for the campaign against that bastard Uehara Naraku, with so many Divine Artifacts and levels dropped, hmph… Do you think I'd be concerned about some equipment?"
Back then…
Everyone lived very affluently.
Based on their strong small team, everyone practically had all kinds of nonsensical cash items and Divine Equipment, yet during the shutdown campaign against Uehara Naraku, they dropped quite a few equipment, thankfully not too many levels were lost…
Now this small team still maintains an average level of thirty-something, besides racial levels, profession levels also have some, they can use quite a few skills…
Precisely because of this…
This small team became the first adventurer group among players to rise to steel-grade adventurers, only to find no rewards at all…
Not even visible increase in reputation!
These players worked so hard, not even seeing rewards, naturally they must curse Uehara Naraku a bit!
This group of players cursed Uehara Naraku passionately, garnering responses from other players staying in the Adventurer's Guild, naturally leaving the native folks somewhat surprised…
This group of adventurer adults seem not too satisfied with them…
The problem is, these adventurer adults are not satisfied with them, why do they still curse someone named Uehara Naraku?
It's really strange…
Why do these adventurer adults always curse Uehara Naraku every time they encounter something?
