Bai Tang was leisurely gathering herbs in the game. Her character was only level forty-six, which was relatively low compared to a large number of high-level players. Occasionally, she would be killed by some high-level players who enjoyed bullying lower-level ones to prove their strength, resulting in a significant loss of her Experience Points. In Six Realms, there was no distinction between peace mode and kill mode, but there was a green bar representing reputation points. Killing other players would deduct reputation points—killing during PK matches or faction wars would not affect reputation points. If reputation points fell below zero, players would be hunted by the authorities and killed on the spot if caught. When killed, instead of losing ten percent of Experience Points like other players, she would lose an entire level and drop her most valuable equipment, making most players reluctant to kill others.
In Six Realms, there were many side professions. Each player could learn one side profession skill for free, but to learn additional skills, they had to pay a hefty sum of money, which deterred many ordinary players.
Bai Tang was not a rich player and did not have extra money to learn a second side profession; she could only focus on her Herbalist skill. However, this situation improved in the holographic version of Six Realms. If a player had a certain skill in real life, such as Chef or sewing, they could successfully create a delicious dish or a complete piece of clothing in the game and receive system confirmation to gain that skill.
She looked forward to the holographic version of Six Realms launching soon! While thinking about it, Bai Tang continued her actions and successfully dug up a third-tier herb. A player riding a horse with wings flew past her, making Bai Tang envious for quite some time. In Six Realms, there was only one type of mount: horses. Besides ordinary horses in the mortal realm, the higher-tier mounts included Zhou Wang Ba Jun: Absolute Land, which could traverse without touching the ground; Super Shadow, which could travel thousands of miles at night; Surpassing Radiance, known for its brilliant coat; Superluminal, which could take on multiple forms; Soaring Mist, which could gallop through clouds; and Winged Steed, which had flesh wings. All were extraordinary mounts that required completing five-star difficulty quests to obtain. With Bai Tang's current level, getting a Zhou Wang Ba Jun was out of the question.
Sighing, Bai Tang clicked on the mount icon, and an ordinary chestnut horse appeared on the screen. She opened the map and located the apothecary in Main City, clicking twice to start auto-navigation. After running just two steps, she received a private message.
【Flourishing whispers to you】: Bai Tang!
【You whisper to Flourishing】: Ling Xin?
【Flourishing whispers to you】: It's me. What are you doing?
【You whisper to Flourishing】: Gathering herbs to earn money.
【Flourishing whispers to you】: How can you be so calm? You still have time for other things.
【You whisper to Flourishing】: I'm really excited! That's why I'm finding something to do to calm my overly excited heart.
【Flourishing whispers to you】: Oh right, then I should find something to do too.
【Flourishing whispers to you】: I just logged into the game and I'm only level one. What should I do?
【You whisper to Flourishing】: Go outside the village to kill chickens or talk to the Village Chief for quests. There are plenty of delivery quests in the novice village.
【Flourishing whispers to you】: Then I'll go do the mission!
【You whisper to Flourishing】: Where's Ma Congyun? He has a game account, right? Why isn't he helping you level up?
【Flourishing whispers to you】: Cloud and Donglai are both working; they need to hold their positions until the closure of Six Realms.
【You whisper to Flourishing】: It's almost eight o'clock!
【Flourishing whispers to you】: I'm so looking forward to the players' reactions after they see the world announcement.
【You whisper to Flourishing】: You can take a screenshot of the world announcement and save it.
【Flourishing whispers to you】: Good idea!
Bai Tang looked at the time displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen; there was one minute left until eight o'clock, and then the system would drop a bombshell on the entire game. Bai Tang couldn't wait to see the players' reactions; it was bound to be entertaining. Bai Tang smirked.
Although Yuanhang Company was nearly bankrupt not long ago, thanks to Ma Congyun and Chu Donglai selling their cars and houses to support it, the operation of the game Six Realms was not affected, and players were even unaware that Six Realms had almost closed down. It was the weekend, and there were more players than usual. Starting from six o'clock in the evening, more and more people logged into the game, reaching peak hours just before eight. Suddenly, Six Realms released a game announcement that stunned all players, causing those who were fighting monsters to almost get killed by them.
【System Announcement: Please pay attention, players: Six Realms will cease operations at midnight on May 1st!】
Without any reason given, the game would just stop operating. How could players accept this? The world erupted in outrage against the game company.
【World】I am Boss's Father: I say, game company owner, how dare you shut down Six Realms! I just spent a thousand yuan; it's all gone! Refund me!
【World】Unyielding Arm Hero Yang: On the rooftop. I just spent a hundred yuan too; refund me!
【World】Meat-Eating Monk: I've spent over ten thousand on this game! Refund me!
【World】Clear Water Produces White Flowers: +1, g come out, return the money!
【World】Six-Tailed Fox: +, g come out, return the money!
【World】Huashan Big Brother: I just spent over two thousand on newly upgraded equipment! g come out, return the money!
【World】Dreaming of the Red Dust: Pay attention upstairs! g come out, return the money!
【World】Silver Flower Granny: +Mobile Phone number, g come out, return the money!
【World】Reincarnation: +ID number, g come out, return the money!
【Flourishing quietly to you】: You've stirred up everyone's anger!
【You quietly to Flourishing: It's normal! If I didn't know that Six Realms switched to holographic, I would definitely be as angry as them! Once Six Realms stops operating, all the money and effort players put in will go down the drain.
The world continues to condemn the game company and g, and then a System Announcement dropped.
【System Announcement】: To compensate players for their losses, the company has made the following compensation: Players who spend over one thousand yuan before May 1st will receive priority purchase rights for the Holographic Online Game Six Realms's Game Helmet and gaming pod; those who spend over five thousand yuan will receive a 10% discount on purchasing the Game Helmet and gaming pod; players who spend over ten thousand yuan will receive a 20% discount; those who spend over fifty thousand yuan will receive a 25% discount. Additionally, the first five hundred players to spend will be eligible for a lottery for the Game Helmet and gaming pod. For more details, please visit the official website!
The System Announcement repeated three times, and the world fell silent; all players were stunned. After at least five minutes, someone cautiously spoke up.
【World】Clear Water Produces White Flowers: What did I just see? Holographic Online Game? Am I dreaming?
【World】Meat-Eating Monk: I just pinched my thigh; it hurt a lot, so I'm not dreaming!
【World】Dreaming of the Red Dust: It really is a Holographic Online Game! Are you kidding me? Is the game company messing with us?
【World】Reincarnation: I agree with the person above! Korea, Nihong Nation, and other countries with highly developed network technology have not developed Holographic Online Game technology, yet a company from our Nation can create a Holographic Online Game?
【World】Silver Flower Granny: What do you mean? In what way is our Nation inferior to those three countries?
【World】Reincarnation: I'm not saying our Nation is lacking; I'm very patriotic. I just think Yuanhang Company can't produce a Holographic Online Game. It's just a private company; how could it have such advanced technology?
【World】Unyielding Arm Hero Yang: I agree with Reincarnation. Yuanhang Company is deceiving many players!
【World】I am Boss's Father: It's fake, fake, absolutely fake.
【World】Huashan Master: The boss of Yuanhang Company has watched too many things!
【World】Flourishing: It's real! If you don't believe it, check the official website; it has already been announced.
【World】Silver Flower Granny: The person above, since the System Announcement is not credible, the official website is naturally also not credible.
【World】Candy Store: It's true. A friend of mine's future husband works at Yuanhang Company. According to him, the Game Helmet and game pod have already been produced and will officially launch on April 30!
【World】I am Meow: So-called insider information is often fabricated.
【World】Black-faced Scholar: Can current technology really produce a Game Helmet and game pod? Even if they could, how expensive would they be? Can we afford them?
【World】Flourishing: Not very expensive. Insider information reveals that a Game Helmet costs five thousand yuan, and a game pod costs thirty thousand yuan. That's honestly not expensive; buying a good Mobile Phone costs over ten thousand!
【World】Three-Dimensional Space: The person above is wealthy. My Mobile Phone only costs three hundred yuan, fully functional, and it's not worse than those that cost thousands.
【World】Buddha Jumps Over the Wall: I also think counterfeit Mobile Phones are pretty good.
【World】Silver Flower Granny: The two idiots upstairs have gone off-topic! Don't you think Flourishing and Candy Store are just pawns of Yuanhang Company?
【World】Huashan Master: That's right, otherwise why would they speak for Yuanhang Company? These two must be undercover agents.
【World】k: Beat those two up!
【World】Gulair Ice King: Beat those two up!
【World】Meat-Eating Monk: I saw Flourishing at the beach in the novice village, coordinates yyy, everyone hurry over to beat him up!
【Flourishing whispers to you】: I got killed by a player! It's too scary, I can't hold on, I'm logging off first.
【You whisper to Flourishing:】...
【World】Candy Store: Facts speak louder than words. Wait until April 30th, and you'll see for yourselves!
After sending this message, Bai Tang quickly logged out of the game. She had already seen many game characters charging at her with weapons, so she hurriedly retreated!
