Chapter 255 Player offline
"Five days later, the version was updated, and I was still surfing on the sea without any panic."
"I was doing tasks happily before...I found a forum announcement saying that the version will be updated soon and the time is limited...I am currently doing tasks nervously."
"Just ten seconds ago, I joined a pirate group... Speaking of which, can the pirate group apply to withdraw from the group? I don't need a handling fee! The captain doesn't want it——"
"I feel like I'm a little more miserable than you. I'm not a pirate, but I just passed the recruitment of new recruits at the branch's naval base... By the way, can the navy accept recruits who have been absent for an unknown length of time?"
The player forum was abuzz with excitement, and all kinds of tricks about the new version were thrown out one after another by this group of sleazy players.
The most tragic among them are those players who have just joined new forces.
The new identity that was obtained after a lot of hard work was directly beaten to death by the iron fist of the version update before it had time to express itself to increase trust.
What is even more sad are those players who are still wandering on the sea and cannot find the exact offline location.
Offline directly on board...
All I can say is that I hope everyone is okay.
The forum was abuzz.
But in the game, the players who received the prompts still rushed towards the decided offline location non-stop.
Such behavior naturally attracted the attention of the native people of Dahai.
During the period of time during which the open beta of the game lasted, the existence of "immortal refugees" was undoubtedly an extremely strong spiritual impact on the aboriginal people on the sea.
Anyone will have a certain repulsive attitude towards this group of special "similar people" who suddenly appear with strange behavior and strange behavior and are immortal.
There is no doubt that the native people of the sea have very conflicting feelings about these "immortal refugees".
on the one hand.
This group of "immortal refugees" like to help them do things (tasks) very much, and usually do not require much reward. Some trivial rewards can even greatly increase their work enthusiasm.
But on the other hand.
The aborigines have always felt somewhat alienated from the existence of "immortal refugees", and usually would not take the initiative to contact those immortal refugees without authorization.
In the eyes of some cautious natives, players are even regarded as the existence of some special and strange creatures, full of unknowns and risks, and they will even actively avoid players.
However, as the game version is about to be updated, players have to abandon ongoing tasks and return to the island.
Such strange actions naturally aroused the attention of certain forces on the sea.
……
West Sea, Razor Party Headquarters, Otephi Island.
The Razor Party has always welcomed this group of "immortal refugees".
For a gang, no matter how it behaves, "strength" is always the most important point.
The existence of players has undoubtedly greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Razor Party.
Moreover, due to the "immortality" characteristics of the players, they always move forward bravely and are not afraid of death in battle. They are simply the most suitable "gangsters"!
As the leader of the Razor Party, Tommy has never quite understood why the Razor Party is so popular among this group of "immortal refugees".
You know, the number of "immortal refugees" members in the Razor Party is almost more than the number of "immortal refugees" in the rest of the West Sea gangs combined.
Secretly, Tommy has always suspected that the existence of these refugees was influenced by Mr. White Ghost...
Or maybe these immortal refugees were simply summoned from the underworld by Mr. White Ghost himself. After all, they are the legendary gloomy ghosts...
Under the covert influence of Adrian, it was also due to the real need for suitable cannon fodder combat capabilities.
Tommy almost refuses to accept the undead refugees who join the Razor Party.
However, in recent days, a large number of undead refugee members have rushed back to Otfe Island from all over the West Sea and returned to the gang.
This is a kind of behavior without warning. Even if you ask them, you will not get any results. You can only hear some nonsense (automatically blocked by the system).
This phenomenon attracted Tommy's great attention.
Do you guys want to overthrow the boss and stand on your own feet?
"Have the specific reasons been found out?"
Tommy asked his men in the top-floor conference room of the main building of the Razor Party Center.
As the leader of the Razor Party, although Tommy recognized the strength and bloodiness of the undead refugees, he did not trust their loyalty.
The team that Tommy formed himself was carefully selected from the original gang members, and there were no players.
"No, BOSS. We still can't find the specific reason why the undead refugees have returned in large numbers, and we can't get any results from asking people. Now the number of 'immortal refugees' on Otephe Island is close to 2,000, and there are still Growing.”
Out of reverence for Adrian's existence, Tommy has always used the title "BOSS" in the Razor Party instead of "GODFATHER".
Tommy thought for a few moments.
"In other words, most of the undead refugees who joined our Razor Party have returned to the island?"
"That's right!" The subordinate said respectfully, "BOSS, this is not a good sign."
"Although the vast majority of undead refugees are very good cannon fodder and have a very high recognition of gangs, there are also some saboteurs. Almost every once in a while, a refugee sabotage incident occurs, which has a great impact on the security environment of the island. pose a threat.”
"Two thousand undead refugees are not much different from the army of some small kingdoms! The strength of each of them is comparable to that of some elite gangs. If one of them is not handled properly, it may have a very big impact on our gang. ”
This confidant spoke a lot of words worriedly.
Naturally, he could not have known that players returned to Otephi Island in large numbers precisely because they were about to face a version update and had to find a suitable and safe offline location.
"One Piece" is different from other games. There is no concept of "game main city" or "absolute safe zone" in this game.
To ensure the safety of their accounts during the version update, players can only find the safest location possible.
Otephi Island, as the base camp of the Razor Party, is naturally trusted by gang players.
"BOSS, we have to guard against this situation..."
"I am also aware of your considerations." Tommy said solemnly, "From now on, undead refugees will be prohibited from entering and exiting Otephi Island. After two days, the members of the 'immortal refugees' on the island will be divided and dispatched to nearby On the island, let them be responsible for the security of the affiliated islands.”
As one of the top gangsters in the West Sea, the Razor Party cannot only have one Otephi Island. It also has a large territory, including more than a dozen islands in the surrounding waters.
However, Tommy's order had not yet been issued.
The players who returned to Otephe Island, after joking with each other and saying goodbye, logged off early one by one.
Soon, all the "immortal refugees" on the island disappeared.
Not just on Otephi Island, the same scene happened simultaneously on all the islands where players existed in the four seas.
Thousands of "immortal refugees" disappeared in a short period of time just like when they first arrived.
Far away on Fish-Man Island, Adrian, holding two balls of warm and creamy autumn milk tea in his arms, suddenly stopped his movements and opened the panel.
A new prompt comes into view.
【Version 1.0 update is open】
[Data saving...saved]
【Forum closed】
[The exact update time of version 2.0 is unknown, please wait patiently]
Adrian tried to log in to the official forum account, but found that the login entrance had turned gray and could not be entered, just like it was before the internal beta was opened.
"Unknown update time, let's see what changes there will be next time."
"I miss the time when I could happily cut leeks..."
