Chapter 84: Instance! Instance!

What will the Intellect Brain do next?

Are there players moving again?

Luyu reacted quickly and immediately asked back: “Do you mean the bandit-clearing missions like before are starting again?”

“Bandit clearing, isn’t that just a single-player activity?”

Mo Xiaobai lay on his bed, shaking his head, and smiled: “Have you ever seen a developer for a failed game arrange event orders like this? Let alone the Lord Plane being opened by the Will of the Universe.”

“Uh, you’re right.” The Fatty scratched his head and muttered to himself, continuing to think about what tasks in the game would require players to work together.

Soon, two words appeared in I Love Eating Perch’s mind:

Instance!

Thinking of this, the Fatty perked up again: “Are we going to clear instances in the Plane world too?”

“What do you think? The whole Plane is so huge. If most Lord Players stayed in their territories and never went out, they might never meet other players in their entire lives. If we don’t open up new game spaces, even the Intellect Brain would find it very hard to gather players together to compete.”

“This is interesting. I wonder what kind of instance the Plane will open? A five-person small instance or a twenty-person team instance.” The Fatty was interested as soon as he heard “instance,” but he quickly remembered that he wasn’t asking about that. He wanted to ask Mo Xiaobai if he had any other tricks up his sleeve against Wa Country.

“That’s not right. Even if there are instances, can you really meet Wa Country players? Otherwise, how can you cause them trouble?”

“They already have enough trouble, do I need to cause them more? Didn’t you need meeting requirements to enter instances when you played games before? If all of the billions of players worldwide had the qualification, could the Intellect Brain handle it?”

As Mo Xiaobai made his point clear, the Fatty finally caught on: “I get your point now. Since one quarter of the Lords in Wa Country died, according to the Plane’s death penalties, their accounts are essentially wiped clean. A level-zero alts cannot clear instances. And if the requirements are strict even further, maybe even Village-level Lords won’t have the qualification.”

“That’s about the meaning. The number of players from Wa Country who can enter the first Plane instance is destined to be small. Regarding the instance resources available to the Region, they will have a clear disadvantage compared to not just us in Huaxia, but even compared to the Koreans. One step behind leads to being behind in every step. In the future, even if Wa Country throws all its national strength behind it, it might not be a match for a single dynasty in Huaxia.”

With Mo Xiaobai speaking so clearly, Luyu on the other end was speechless.

How well must he know the Plane to calculate Wa Country’s fate so precisely?

Earlier, he had already felt that Mo Xiaobai was extraordinary, but now that feeling was even stronger, to an unbelievable degree. If Mo Xiaobai stood in front of him right now, he would definitely ask if Mo Xiaobai had used cheats.

Based on Mo Xiaobai’s many performances, whether others believed it or not, the Fatty certainly did not believe he was the legitimate son of the Will of the Universe.

After a long silence, the Fatty finally composed himself and said: “Stop beating around the bush. Just tell me, what is Huaxia’s first instance?”

“Huh?”

“Speak quickly! Is there some good stuff inside the instance that I need to find? Isn’t that your usual trick? Tell me quickly, and after I hear it, I’ll figure out how to make it happen.”

Hearing the Fatty ask him this, Mo Xiaobai almost let out a giggle.

This Fatty thinks I am the Will of the Universe’s favorite son.

However, no matter what, Mo Xiaobai would not tell him what he knew right now. It wasn’t because he feared the Fatty would get into trouble, but because before the instance officially started, Mo Xiaobai was unsure if “revealing the heavenly secret” would attract the Intellect Brain’s scrutiny.

The instance hadn’t appeared yet, unlike when he first entered the game and the wild horse herd had already respawned. Things that haven’t appeared still have variables.

And unexpected changes were something Mo Xiaobai did not want to see.

“I have no idea what it will be. Don’t we all guess based on the usual tricks? I just got lucky and guessed right every time.”

“You really expect me to believe that?”

“I truly don’t know this time, but I have a feeling that this instance will definitely have many different ways to play.”

Mo Xiaobai shook his head and said no more. The Fatty didn’t press further, but he agreed with Mo Xiaobai’s last sentence. Lord Plane player tasks were diverse, so he guessed the Plane instance wouldn’t follow a simple pattern of killing monsters and pushing the boss.

The two chatted aimlessly for a few more sentences before hanging up the call. Mo Xiaobai rested his hands behind his head and looked up at the crescent moon in the sky.

In his past life, he couldn’t enter the first Player Instance because his territory was destroyed.

But in this life, he would not miss it.

…

The next morning, as soon as Mo Xiaobai got up, he met with the managers of the two brothels again.

After discussing the details, there was drafting contracts to confirm the move and going to both markets to find craftsmen from various trades.

It took most of the morning, but finally, they managed to find one blacksmith, one roofer, and one carpenter skilled in mechanisms.

All three had ordinary Level B qualifications, but their experience was a plus. They could start working as soon as they reached Daming Village. If they were lucky, they could also cultivate some Territory Citizens with good qualifications.

Since they left the city before the evening gates closed, the return trip was even more lively this time.

Their ears were filled with the cheerful noise of singing girls. Outsiders might have thought Mo Xiaobai was taking a bunch of girls out for a mountain-and-water tour.

On the way back, they had to spend nights in the wilds again. After four or five days of hassle, Mo Xiaobai finally arrived at Lingshi Mine.

This speed was at least half as slow as when they went to Juancheng.

After resting briefly at the mine, just as Mo Xiaobai was about to continue his journey, colorful swirls suddenly poured into the sky of the entire Plane.

After a few seconds, the Plane Announcement that hadn’t appeared for some time rang out again:

“Plane Announcement~ Due to the improvement of Player strength in the Plane, the number of Village Level 2 territories has reached ten million. The Plane Instance channels have officially opened. The Plane Player panels have been adjusted in detail. Players please check the adjustment results yourself.”

…

“Huaxia Announcement~ Since the Plane Instance channels have officially opened, Huaxia has launched its first Player Instance. This Player Instance is a Dynasty Instance. The seven Dynasty Instances will be unveiled at the same time. All players please look forward to it.”

…

“Great Han Dynasty Announcement~ Since Huaxia’s first Player Instance has officially launched, the Dynasty Instance ‘Battle of Guandu’ will be unveiled at noon tomorrow. At that time, Lord Players in the Great Han Dynasty who possess Instance qualifications can freely choose the ‘Cao’ or ‘Yuan’ faction to play the Instance game and obtain rich rewards.”
