The goal was set, but to achieve it, a lot of preparation was still needed.
Perhaps it would take ten years, perhaps a hundred years, or more likely, as long as a thousand years.
After all, in the previous “Fallen Chronicles” world, it was one player corresponding to one world, and the total number of players added up to just a few tens of thousands. But according to Renji’s plan, which was also the strength needed to resist the cold wave, it would be millions or even tens of millions.
From the size of the numbers, it could be seen that the two were far from being on the same order of magnitude.
Moreover, not only did the quantity increase, but the individual consumption was also no longer on the same level.
Players would certainly not appear out of thin air. Establishing a channel and communicating between two worlds also required energy consumption.
The previous Fallen Chronicles was a flat 2D game, and players mostly operated from a first perspective.
It was like the manager only needed to draw on a flat surface.
The energy consumed was not much.
What Renji hoped for was that in the future, in the form of a game otherworld, players would truly descend into “Fallen Chronicles”, possess the five senses, and perceive this world.
And this could definitely not be achieved by drawing on a flat surface.
This required Renji to use a lot of “paper” and exquisite “craftsmanship” to stack out a “three-dimensional” player.
The difference in difficulty was obvious.
Of course, there were many other issues, big and small, such as how to guide players, how to establish a game system, what would happen to the native creatures in “Fallen Chronicles”, and a series of other issues that Renji needed to consider and prepare for.
However, the good thing was…
Although there was a new, larger, and more distant plan, Renji also had a more powerful teammate by his side.
The Source Lord.
Although the Phoenix still had doubts about Renji’s online game plan, she had to admit that she was not defeated by Renji, but by the “saviors” led by Renji.
Through this battle, the Source Lord also saw the huge potential of players and realized that perhaps the man in front of her, who was once a part of the players she had summoned, could better unleash the power of the player race than she could.
So, since this plan had possibilities, the Source Lord was willing to help Renji.
After all, they were essentially part of the World Tree and had a common survival goal.
The biggest feature of the Source was that it was an energy aggregation with vast energy. This could be seen from the terrifying trillions of health bars of the Source Lord.
With the Source Lord and countless Sources as the energy foundation of the plan, it was not an impossible dream to build a channel that could accommodate millions or even tens of millions of players over time.
This could be considered as resolving the difficulty of “quantity accommodation” for Renji.
So the next thing Renji considered was how to realize the “physical body” of the players.
Naturally, the first thing that came to Renji’s mind was the simplest.
“Can you use energy to create a separate body for each player?”
Hearing Renji ask her this, the Phoenix’s head immediately shook like a rattle drum.
“Impossible.”
“Maintaining a channel of tens of millions will already consume a lot of our power. If it were just for a few tens of thousands of players, constructing physical bodies, we could still do it. But for several million… the consumption required is too huge.”
“Moreover, physical bodies in the form of energy are very unstable. You should understand this. If you hadn’t used the physical body of ‘Renji’ in your world to complete the adaptation to the world first, you wouldn’t have been able to control the current ‘Ashen’ shell, even if this shell was once cultivated by your own hands.”
Renji quickly understood the Source Lord’s words. To put it in a more colloquial explanation…
If he really wanted the players to take root and stay, he had to prepare for the players, if not natives, at least shells made of materials from the Fallen Chronicles world, like the “natives”.
And the candidates and plan for executing this were naturally clear at a glance.
Mass production, maintenance…
Most importantly, it had to satisfy the strongest foundation of players, which was the ability to be reborn after death, leaving only…
Cyborgs.
‘Zero, how much time will it take!?’
[Command received, Master. Zero will immediately start the establishment of the ‘Research Institute’ and attempt to find the most suitable ‘construct’ structure for Blue Planet humans in the material composition of the worlds. According to calculations and projections, this research project will produce the first version of the prototype ‘cyborg construct’ shell in two hundred and seventy-six years and seven months.]
The crystal blue light flashed from the maid’s eye patch standing beside Renji. With strong computing power and absolute expertise in machinery and constructs, Zero was undoubtedly the most suitable to take on this task.
With this, the two most difficult hurdles in setting up the “online game” could be considered to have clues and direction.
But as Renji said at the beginning, in addition to this, there were many other tasks that needed to be assigned.
For example, the “shells” for the players were solved, but the “mind” still needed guidance and assistance. Players who could be harvested were good players. If left unattended, Renji was afraid that before the cold wave arrived, perhaps the World Tree would have already been ravaged by the “fourth natural disaster” first.
For this, two major systems were inevitable.
The first was an agency that could issue “positive” tasks to players and guide them through tasks. This was what the vast majority of games were doing.
And usually, the names of such agencies were called xxx guilds. Depending on the type of game, it could be an adventurers’ guild, mercenaries’ guild, hunters’ guild, etc.
This idea, Renji had already had after the end of the journey with the Mechanical Alliance. The initial purpose was to settle the tens of thousands of mechanical servants produced by Zero who were looking for him, and also to expand his own power.
Now… It seemed that the scale of this guild would have to be expanded by a billion points.
“86, Control One, this task is handed over to you.” Renji turned his head to look at the little maid following beside Zero, as well as several mechanical servant bodies that were “copies” of Zero.
[Okay, Master. *Eighty-six didn’t expect that as a supporting character, she could still appear and be useful*] She replied with a heart full of enthusiasm.
Zero:[“…”]
The twin-tailed large maid glanced over her head and frowned at the small maid behind her,
[Eighty-six, I remember I should have repaired your language module.]
[Sorry, Sister Zero, it seems to have broken down again recently, *Eighty-six replied perfunctorily on the surface, while muttering softly in her heart* It’s precisely because Sister Zero doesn’t have special points like the other supreme ones that she appears to have a very low presence beside master.]
[How can such a simple sister win over those despicable women? How can she still be a maid when others have eaten everything!]
[So Eighty-six wants to become the last flag of the mechanical race and fight for more favor for her sister, *Eighty-six issued such a dark and despicable yet righteous and passionate declaration*]
Renji: “…”
Phoenix Source Lord: “…”
“Ahem!”
After coughing, Renji quickly brought the topic back on track. Previously, it was mentioned that there were two major systems to guide players. Creating a guild that issued various tasks to players was one of them.
The other was…
“Thia, I’ll leave the church to you. The expansion and continuation of the Holy Church still require your foundation in the Holy Kingdom.”
