Chu Fu flew through the air, her cloak scattering scale powder, trailing a fluorescent glow as she went outside the village to spread the plague.
Soon, the tenth wave of monsters was also cleared.
And they noticed that this time, there was no giant black wolf boss!
The players didn’t think much of it, assuming the black wolf’s appearance was based on the players’ overall strength. Since Wangxi Village was so powerful, it made sense to have an extra boss.
Tianhe Village was so weak, so not having that kind of big boss was even more reasonable.
When Chu Fu canceled the plague spread and canceled auto-loot,
countless players rushed into the wilderness to pick up equipment.
“Haha, I picked up a silver equipment! Thanks, Plant Master!”
“Boo-hoo, I’m so jealous of you guys from Wangxi Village. We can’t even pick up stuff as fast as you!”
“At least the newbie village is saved. Can we get a stat bonus during settlement? I had my stats deducted before!”
Finally,
With the last monster cleared,
the system announcement rang out again.
[System Announcement: The beast tide has receded, the Tianhe Village counterattack is complete!]
[System Announcement: Non-Tianhe Village players have achieved the special achievement: Savior, receiving the Savior Badge.]
[System Announcement: All players who participated in the counterattack gain +1 to all attributes.]
[System Announcement: Public event contribution points are being settled!]
[System Announcement: Limited-time shop is now open. Reward items can be exchanged using contribution points. Duration: 24 hours.]
[System Announcement: Newbie village major event! The future of Tianhe Village.
Tianhe Village survived the beast tide by a stroke of luck, but suffered heavy losses. They are asking the saviors for help.
Choice 1: Relocate to Wangxi Village. Wangxi Village will expand into a medium-sized settlement, increasing its capacity for newbie players.
Choice 2: Rebuild Tianhe Village. Reconstruct Tianhe Village from its ruins, releasing a large number of quests. Since the village guards cannot protect more people, this newbie village can only accommodate 1,000 people. Reconstruction difficulty is high.
(All players who participated in the counterattack can vote. Votes will be allocated based on contribution points.)]
Chu Fu chose Option 1 on the spot.
She alone held 52% of the vote.
As soon as the vote share came out, even the other players felt they had no stake in it. They already knew the outcome.
The NPCs of Tianhe Village were going to Wangxi Village after all.
These NPCs emerged from their homes, carrying their luggage, leading their children and livestock.
The village chief looked at the players.
“Esteemed awakened ones, would you be willing to escort us old folk to Wangxi Village and help us build some shelter to live in? This old man thanks you all!”
The surrounding players immediately received a quest.
[Yes/No Accept Quest: Escort the Villagers to Wangxi Village.]
The players naturally chose to accept.
Shen Chi then brought out his iron-plate roller coaster again.
“Village Chief, walking from Tianhe Village to Wangxi Village would take a very long time. We have prepared flying vehicles that can carry you all!”
The village chief looked at the strange flying vehicle, hesitating.
“What is this thing?”
The nearby players immediately started cheering.
“Wheelchair Boss, you’re not planning to make the village chief ride the roller coaster, are you!”
“Oh man, wouldn’t that mean all the quests are done by Wheelchair Boss? Boss, don’t do that! Leave some NPCs for us to escort!”
“Given how old the village chief and these NPCs are, I’m afraid they might croak in midair.”
Shen Chi shrugged helplessly and said, “Everyone accepted the quest, so everyone should be able to complete it. I’ll fly a bit slower later. If you all follow, won’t we complete it together?”
That did make sense.
“You all arrange for the NPCs to board. I’m going to dismantle the arrow towers. Take everything we can carry; don’t waste anything. We leave in 20 minutes!”
Everyone responded and started taking apart the traps and trenches.
The stones and wood were all materials.
They couldn’t leave them here.
The players who took part in the village defense and counterattack in Tianhe Village also helped out, planning to head to Wangxi Village later to upgrade.
Twenty minutes later,
Shen Chi brought the roller coaster, carrying the 100 NPCs saved by the Needle-Saint Healer, heading toward Wangxi Village.
Over nine thousand players all took off, flying around the iron-plate roller coaster.
The Tianhe Village players who wanted to follow to Wangxi Village were all dumbfounded.
Seriously? I know this is a roller coaster, but I didn’t know it was a flying roller coaster!
How did it take off?
And how does everyone have wings!
Was this a standard issue in Wangxi Village?
So what now? They had to travel on the ground again?
The Tianhe Village players wept tears of envy.
…
As the Wangxi Village players escorted the Tianhe Village NPCs away,
Lin Haowan’s livestream finally reached its end.
[System Prompt: Village defense battle ended: Livestream will close in 10 minutes!]
Lin Haowan was filled with regret.
He really wanted to continue interviewing Chu Fu and the others, eager to know what changes Wangxi Village would undergo next.
But the livestream didn’t allow it.
He could only use the last ten minutes to follow the Wangxi Village players’ procession, watching them leave.
“Seeing a village so united, I’m truly moved beyond words. I sincerely thank someone like Who Wants to Be a Plant, a true master, for leading such a great village and presenting us with such a spectacular village defense battle.
At the same time, we strongly condemn the shady operations of the Youlong Studio.
Monopolizing game resources, suppressing other players, not defending the village, not contributing, and even stealing the fruits of Wangxi Village’s labor after returning, slandering others, and bullying the weak.
This unscrupulous studio, I hope everyone will join me in boycotting it!
Let’s restore integrity to the game!”
The viewers in the livestream naturally detested the Youlong Studio’s behavior.
“Boycott Youlong Studio!”
“Which group funds this studio? Boycott them all!”
“It’s funded by the Crown Prince of Shengtang Group!”
Lin Haowan, seeing that everyone shared his sentiment, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The livestream closed!
Lin Haowan checked his queue information: he could only join Zone 0598888!
In truth, his talent wasn’t high. Even if he went to a new zone, he couldn’t possibly snag the first kill, and he’d face endless capital-backed studios.
So why not wait for the server merge and join Wangxi Village instead?
That would surely be a thriving paradise!
Thinking this, Lin Haowan suddenly felt his future in the game would be much easier. Maybe he could even join the Thorn Guild!
He pulled out his phone, opened his fan group, and was about to share his decision.
But the moment he opened it, his name was being spammed with notifications.
He wasn’t too surprised—after all, he was the first officially invited streamer.
But the next second, his eyes widened in shock.
The group was full of screenshots of trending topics, links to trending articles, and even official notices with blue backgrounds.
