Chapter 41
“That’s 6,553,775 players in total. There are so many of them!” the fat player named Sun Zizai uttered this as soon as he read the message.
“Well, that was fast.” Ji Ye gave the man a careful look. He wondered if the guy was some kind of math teacher.
However, the final result did not stop there. Two more “announcements” soon followed:
[After failing their trials, 105,349 players refused to enter the Land of Inheritance again. Penalty: New player quota has decreased by 1,053,490.]
[Warning. Settlements without any players will remain inactive as they are unable to summon any champions.]
As soon as this message feed ended, several people present on that floor yelled at the same time.
“What was that??”
“There’s a penalty! So this leaves us—”
Ji Ye looked at the fat player again, who was making another mental calculation, but with an anxious look this time.
“This… This cannot be!”
The two security officers, Ling Chen and Yang Lin, didn’t have time to assess the situation as their radios were already lit up.
“An emergency meeting is in order. Mister Ji, I’m afraid I have to leave you. Please head back to your room on your own,” Ling Chen spoke to Ji Ye with an apologetic look.
“Sure, Captain Ling. As you feared, the day is only going to get busier for you.”
Their conversation allowed the fat man to suddenly realize something as he gave Ji Ye a surprised look. “You… you were in the first group too?? Man, so that’s why you were so good…”
Yang City’s confederation office was busy passing down two emergency orders. The first order was meant to urge players who had failed to enter any settlement to give it a try within the next 48 hours, so they might see whether they could still repair the damage. Every new player counted toward their overall strength after all.
The second task was of course, to find out the names of the newly-selected players and where they lived in Yang City.
Similarly, all cities and regions around the globe were on the move.
Those who would get to experience all the amazing adventures in the Land of Inheritance were either celebrating their great fortune or fearing all the dangers they had heard from the forum. Either way, none of them would have any sleep in the next two days, that was for sure.
Nevertheless, all of this was inconsequential for Ji Ye, who returned to his room and immediately entered the Land of Inheritance again. The Twin Dragon Mount settlement needed him, especially when there were enemies about.
