However, as a professional translator and receptionist, Karen may have had her complaints in her heart, but in practice, she was impeccable.
He even thoughtfully had someone drive to a supermarket several kilometers away to buy extra refreshing drinks as a pastime while waiting for the car.
"Uh, you said on the invitation to bring a lot of people, so I brought a little more than usual. I think I brought relatively few..."
"But you brought so many people... it's very likely they won't be needed. Have you even read the Rift rules?"
Karen has also thoroughly read the rules and restrictions regarding the rift between Phantom and Crimson Lone Diamond over the past few days.
For example, the highest rank a player can achieve at the start is Elite 1, and subsequent upgrades require hope.
"Of course I saw it, that's why I need to bring more people."
Li Ji said to Karen with an air of self-righteousness.
If a meat pigeon only has a small number of people playing with it, can it still be called a meat pigeon?
If Li Ji had enough operator unlock tokens, he would have even wanted to bring the entire Rhodes Island here.
The whole team should participate in the competition for meat pigeons. Shouldn't that be common sense?
However, Li Ji naturally wouldn't explain much to Karen, as they had only just begun to participate in this "game" and their understanding of it was certainly lagging behind.
Moreover, since Li Ji has already been brought along, the other party cannot return him.
He quickly changed the subject, no longer dwelling on it.
"You said I'm leading the most people right now, does that mean all the other teams have already arrived?"
"Yes, you are the last team to arrive in Gaul. Once you have completed your registration, the exploration mission will be arranged as soon as possible."
Karen guided the Rhodes Island group to the pass processing area while explaining the current situation to Li Ji.
He handed a document to Li Ji, which detailed everything about the strange rift between Phantom and Crimson Lone Diamond.
"This rift is different from the others. After conducting preliminary exploration, the Gaul team discovered that this rift is a distorted space formed by the convergence of countless rifts, and it currently appears to be showing signs of expansion."
"There are three difficulty levels. On the easiest difficulty, you will get a collectible called 'Silent Squad', which will increase the attack and defense of all your units by 35% and their health by 45%."
"Each time you pass a level, there is a chance to obtain a special item similar to the Silent Squad."
"Our team successfully reached the second boss thanks to the powerful artifact of the Silent Squad, but unfortunately we still couldn't clear it in one go on our first encounter."
"Below is an introduction to some of the collections we have acquired. Captain Wanfeng, you can take a look."
Li Ji listened to Karen's explanation while looking at the integrated strategy materials provided by Gaul in his hand.
The integrated strategic rifts in reality are definitely different from those in the game. He still needs to understand the form of the rifts as soon as possible so that he can get more things in the exploration a few days later.
The materials show three items: a cracked binding band, a red bow, and a gargoyle statue.
The effects are: -7% attack power of all enemy units, +2 hope, +1 unit that can be deployed simultaneously, and +6 target health immediately.
All three were relatively basic collections, and the results were only average.
"Has your team never attempted other difficulty levels?"
"We haven't even gotten past the easiest difficulty yet, so it's a bit too much to try other difficulties."
Karen then handed Li Ji a crack analysis report, saying, "The failure of this crack will not cause any serious harm to the explorers. It will only gradually expand after the failure and enter a cooling-off period."
"Cooldown period?"
Li Ji raised an eyebrow, wondering if this meant resetting the start of the game was prohibited?
"Yes, after the first failure, the crack fell into a period of dormant expansion, only opening at the beginning of each month."
After finishing her sentence, Karen added, "However, we cannot yet confirm whether there will be a cooldown period after clearing the level, but this is the current situation."
"The rift has already expanded, so we probably won't give you much time to rest. The exploration should be arranged in the next few days."
The temporarily dispatched vehicle arrived at the airport just as everyone finished their formalities.
The traffic flowed smoothly into the airport terminal and stopped in front of the Rhodes Island group.
"The vehicle has arrived. You can continue to check the data for further information."
Karen opened the car door for Li Ji and gestured for him to enter.
"Please go to the hotel we have booked to rest first. We will contact you through our staff as soon as possible. Captain Wanfeng, please make sure your phone is reachable."
……
Outside the car window, the retro streetscape of Gaul kept changing.
Li Ji raised his head, looked away from the documents, and gazed out the window.
Along the rustic stone-paved road, exquisite French-style buildings are scattered in a pleasing arrangement. Sunlight filters through the delicate window frames and ornate reliefs, casting dappled shadows.
This was his first time visiting Gaul. Compared to the modern feel of the streets of Yan, the streets of Gaul had a more classical feel.
But then he immediately refocused his attention on the documents in his hands.
Based on subsequent information, this time the Phantom Rogue doesn't enter as a single person or team as in the game.
Instead, all teams entered at the same time.
Because there will be more roads and more routes to choose from, it can accommodate more queues.
However, more than these things, Li Ji was thinking about how to make the game more interesting.
This is my first time playing a roguelike game set in another world, so I should probably do something different, right?
"Thorns has always been in C, but it's time for a change of personnel."
Chapter Four: It's Time to Harvest the Gallic Leeks
8:00P.M.
Vison Hotel.
Li Ji lowered his head, scooped up a handful of water from the tap, and gently splashed it on his face. The cool sensation made him a little more awake.
After a long journey, fatigue is inevitable.
After a journey of more than forty hours, they finally arrived in the Gaul Security Zone.
After completing all the registration and procedures, he was finally able to move into his room with peace of mind.
Even though he was exhausted after a long day, Li Ji didn't really want to sleep... He just felt a little bored.
After all, there was no signal along the way, so apart from chatting with the operators, there wasn't much else to do.
I did nothing but sleep on the road, sleeping in the car and on the plane...
His fatigue... to put it bluntly, was all from sleeping!
Finally arrived at the hotel, and I can finally have a signal and let loose!
"Prismus, are you there?!"
Li Ji opened his system panel and shouted at Priscilla, "Do I need to register an account to stream from overseas?"
Although the Agor Deep Sea Live Streaming Platform is international, the accounts seem to be non-interchangeable. Even with the current real-world signal barriers, Yan still has a "wall" blocking it.
He had already planned before he came that on his first day here, he would do a big live stream to contribute to his milestone mission.
Now that the Crisis Contract is a way to recruit operators for free, Li Ji's enthusiasm for obtaining operator unlock tokens has increased considerably.
As the only permanent mission that currently grants unlock tokens, the milestone is a crucial step for Li Ji to complete.
Now the resources from Yan Country have been almost completely exhausted... Most of those who can vote for the operators are long-time viewers.
The vote rate for new operators is also getting lower and lower - after all, the fan groups are becoming more and more fixed with the appearance of one new operator after another.
Last time, during the Crisis Contract event, they were able to gather so many tickets in an instant...
To put it bluntly, Li Jiquan was just trying to ride on the commander's popularity.
He later studied the increase in the live stream's popularity and found that his popularity had been increasing ever since the commander appeared on screen, without any sign of decline.
The number of people has even exceeded twice the historical peak.
The commander is indeed a commander, a true "superstar" in Yan Kingdom.
After that, although Li Ji retained some viewers, the increase in new operators wasn't as dramatic as before...
Now, if he wants to break through the operator's popularity milestone even faster, he has to start taking advantage of overseas resources!
Even if one wave of popularity overseas isn't enough, another wave back in China will easily push it to over a million views.
Operator unlock tokens are so easy to get, you'll be overwhelmed!
[Upon investigation, the doctor has not registered an account on the foreign Agor Deep Sea Live Streaming platform, yet is still able to stream. Identity verification is currently underway... Account registration in progress...]
[Your account, 晚枫114514, is registering...]
"Wait a minute, what's with that number after yours?"
As Wan Feng listened to Precys's broadcast, he suddenly realized that a strange number suffix was appearing after his name.
"If the name is already taken, just call me Wanfeng1, and don't add any weird numbers to the end!"
[We are now registering an account for you... Account registration complete... ID: Wanfeng1.]
The moment he completed the account registration, Li Ji couldn't wait to open the live streaming platform he had just downloaded.
