It was busy until evening when the players gradually logged off to have dinner.
In the game group established by Lu Yun called 'Infrastructure Headquarters,' there are now twenty-five players in the group.
Apart from these players who have already entered the game, many others are applying to join the group.
They are probably attracted by the introduction and reviews of the game, but due to the lack of slots, they can't join the game.
For these applications, Lu Yun straightforwardly rejected them all.
He created this group mainly to facilitate some private game exchanges for players within the game; it's a serious group.
He doesn't want a bunch of cloud players interfering in this group.
Distinguishing these applicants is very simple.
Lu Yun set the group entry question as 'What is our current team task?'
If they are not real players, they simply can't answer.
Taking advantage of dinnertime, many players began to chat in the group.
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching: "Has anyone noticed a very strange problem?"
Lu Yun: "What problem? Is it because the game planners didn't heed your suggestion to dress the novice guide in a maid outfit?"
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching: "Rolling eyes.jpg, kid, I advise you to be kind, I'm talking seriously here."
Iron Black Pot: "Mr. Qian, just say what you've got."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching: "You all know, I'm a retired old guy, usually pulling an all-nighter in a game nearly kills me."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching: "But in this game, I stayed up all night last night and again today, and except for eating, drinking, pooping, and peeing, I spent all my time in the game. Now, logging off for dinner, I still feel energetic!"
Lu Yun: "Panda face.jpg, Mr. Qian, I was wondering what you were talking about. It turns out it's just that."
Lu Yun: "Didn't you look closely at the game's introduction? This game uses that brainwave technology? I guess when we play, it's like sleeping and dreaming, so it's like you're constantly in a dream state, naturally feeling energetic."
Lu Yun: "The fact that this game can provide us such a real experience, if you think about it, must be related to that brainwave technology."
Wangzai Little Buns: "I just went to the platform to take a look at the game developer, and it says 'FFF'."
Wangzai Little Buns: "(˵¯͒¯͒˵) I even went to check it out and found nothing. I suspect, this is an experimental setup by a very powerful high-tech group, just to test that brainwave technology, and we, we are the guinea pigs (˃⌑˂ഃ)."
Lu Yun: "What Xiao Mantou says makes sense. I give this brain supplement full marks, but being such a guinea pig, I'm more than happy; it's too awesome."
Caged Parrot: "Speaking of, why is this company named 'FFF'? What, has the leader of the FFF group ventured into high-tech?"
Lu Yun: "Could it be possible that the chief researcher of this company is a girl, and FFF emphasizes her...assets?"
Caged Parrot: "('-')ノ)`-'), you better be talking about the uniform size."
Wangzai Little Buns: "@Mr. Zhou, estimate, how long will it take us to finish building the Divine Hall?"
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching: "Don't @ him, it's useless. He's still in the game. To ask him questions, you better go in the game and ask in person."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching: "That kid told me today that from now on, he'll eat only one meal a day, to save time eating, and also save time going to the toilet. I actually want to be like him, but being old, I can't bear it, unlike young people with their strong bodies."
Caged Parrot: "(›´ω`‹) Admiration, in this team task reward pool, him taking half wouldn't surprise me."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching: "No more chatting, delaying my meal. Quickly eat, I need to log back on to start the grind."
...
As night fell, Fang Ka looked at the players as they gathered in piles around campfires for lighting, then continued working hard, smiling contentedly.
He opened to the last page of the book in his hand, finished reading its contents, then closed the book and began to meditate.
Wangzai Little Buns sidled up to Mr. Zhou, chopping the trees beside him, and took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Zhou, when can we start construction?"
Mr. Zhou turned to look at Wangzai Little Buns: "Look at you, already getting impatient? Building construction can't be rushed, or else it'll lead to quality issues."
"But really, it's soon. This island has good weather, plenty of sunshine and warmth, the first batch of bricks will be ready to bake by tomorrow night."
"Once it's daylight, I'll arrange for everyone to dig the foundation for the Divine Hall."
Wangzai Little Buns' eyes lit up: "Brother Zhou, assign me to dig the foundation then? Chopping trees all the time, chopping trees, I feel like I'm turning into an axe."
Mr. Zhou chuckled unbothered: "We as Skeletons don't know fatigue, so it doesn't really matter what we do."
"But since you're tired of chopping trees, tomorrow I'll assign you to dig the foundation, but remember to follow orders, don't mess it up."
Wangzai Little Buns patted his chest bone: "Rest assured, I'm reliable, even in anatomy I don't make mistakes."
Overnight, the players crafted many brick molds, then filled them with yellow clay, and placed them on newly built racks.
By daylight, Mr. Zhou selected half of the players to follow him to the designated location of the Divine Hall's to begin digging the foundation.
Upon hearing that they would start digging the Divine Hall's foundation, these players were very excited.
Because it represented another step forward in their construction efforts.
Thinking about building a magnificent Divine Hall with their own hands, just the thought excites these players.
In the future, they could proudly say 'I once forged a Divine Hall with my bare hands.'
And they could say it confidently because it's true, not an exaggeration.
At that moment, Fang Ka also slowly opened his eyes.
Watching the players begin to dig the Divine Hall's foundation, he nodded slightly and then stood up and headed towards the Ancient Castle.
He thought, now it's also time to start concocting alchemy potions.
At least start using up the materials previously collected by the players to create ten enhancing alchemy potions.
Considering the pace of these players, it seems the completion of the Divine Hall won't be too far off.
After all, these players can work day and night without rest and don't get tired, their efficiency is top-notch.
Once the Divine Hall is completed, these players will share the reward pool.
By then, quite a few players might have enough to exchange for an enhancing potion.
So, he needs to prepare properly as well.
