Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 448: 431: An Outrageous Battle Meeting

“Come to the joint battle live streaming room! Let’s organize together and make a big move!”

Jason shook his head, putting away his negative thoughts, deciding to think about it later.

No matter what he wanted to do, he would think about it after getting the prize money.

Following the keywords shouted by the player, Jason opened the panel and found the so-called “joint battle” live streaming room.

There was nothing special about the background of the live streaming room. It was also on the coast, with a beach filled with makeshift “construction sites” and rafts.

But in the center of the live streaming room, players surrounded it in circles.

Jason could only recognize a few streamers – they were all big VR streamers in the past, but of course, they have all transformed into virtual reality game streamers now.

Those who refused to change at first also had to switch due to the severe loss of popularity.

And because they missed the good opportunity, they could not return to their previous heights.

But next to Jason, a player was extremely excited: “Wow, they’re all here! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event!”

“What do you mean?” Jason asked.

“These big streamers! Don’t you know them?”

“What about the big streamers?” Jason really didn’t know.

“They are not from the same live streaming platform, and they usually don’t interact with each other in live streaming. If there is any interaction, it’s happening offline.” The excited player’s voice lost its tune: “It’s a historic gathering!”

“Oh.” Jason nodded indifferently.

He couldn’t get this guy’s excitement.

However, he was still very interested in witnessing a large-scale landing battle organized by the players themselves.

Especially since this landing battle was entirely engineered by the players themselves, the meaning was quite different.

The interesting thing is that this so-called “battle live streaming room” was actually the live streaming room of the commentator Ren Jian.

But his value wasn’t to act as the overall commander, directing everyone in battle.

His main task was to bring out his “host” professional quality, preside and coordinate everyone’s discussions.

This “pre-war meeting” was also very informal, with no table to be seen.

Everyone found a few of the thickest logs, roughly circled them on the sand, and then sat down and started discussing.

Almost everyone had the live streaming interface open in front of them, discussing and occasionally checking the comments in the live broadcasting room, looking for any good ideas.

“First of all, the first topic.” Ren Jian spoke first.

“I just received a message: players have managed to break through to the 50-meter range of Dinosaur Island’s coastline. However, as they reached this point, the pterosaurs on the island suddenly appeared and attacked them. So in order to land on the island, the existence of the pterosaur swarm must be taken into account.”

William looked at the enthusiastic battle requests in the live streaming room and raised his hand.

“I can organize a group of Air Force Death Squad to launch a proactive attack at the appropriate time. Even if we can’t kill the pterosaurs, we can divert their attention.”

“Awesome!” Everyone gave a thumbs up and applauded in admiration for the daredevil team.

However, in fact, almost everyone participating was a daredevil…

“Well, the air force is up to you then.” Ren Jian also applauded lightly and then efficiently moved on to the next topic: “Next is the attack from the sea.”

“We need weapons. Even if we can’t fight those behemoths, at least we should be able to deal with the most numerous Helicoprion. Only by solving this problem can we maintain a numerical advantage and land using human wave tactics.”

This was also the current thought among everyone – as long as there were enough surviving ships and people, letting the behemoths not be able to attack would always allow some lucky ones to successfully land on the island.

After all, although there were many types of behemoths, their absolute number could not compare to that of the players.

As long as everyone coordinated the timing and swarmed the island together, instead of lining up in waves to die, some lucky ones would escape death.

Camille Victoria raised her hand and showed the weapons beside her: “Strong light flashlight, metal umbrella cap, metal crutch, and the most important – outdoor multifunctional shovel.”

Seeing the multifunctional engineer shovel, many people were stunned: “Can this thing be brought in too??”

“The regular ones can’t, but the folding ones can.” Camille Victoria was also full of complaints.

“It seems that in Yunmeng’s judgment, if you carry such a long iron shovel, it’s considered as a weapon. But if you fold it up and hang it on your body, it will be judged as an accessory on your clothes…”

The streamers were full of question marks. How could this be considered an accessory?

But soon, many people were inspired: “If I wear a chef’s suit and carry a set of kitchen utensils, with a boning knife and such, it’s also very reasonable, right?”

“Then, if I wear work clothes, put on a crowbar, steel bars, wrenches, and such, isn’t that also very reasonable?”

“In that case, if I dress as a lumberjack, carry an axe and an electric saw, isn’t that also very reasonable?”

Yi was stunned: “Could it be that I couldn’t bring a fire axe at the beginning because I wasn’t wearing the right clothes since I didn’t wear a firefighter’s suit?”

But soon, he had an idea as well: “If you put it that way, if I wear a killer’s work outfit – a bulletproof suit and carry a few guns for work, there should be no reason not to do it, right?”

“Ah, this…” Yi’s words made everyone pause for a moment, “Why not, give it a try?”

If it works, next time everyone won’t have to bother building a boat, just go and raid the Metropolitan Police Department.

Wearing a police uniform, armed with a full set of hot weapons, and even – flying an armed helicopter?

You can’t get your hot air balloon over the mountain without wind, but my armed helicopter doesn’t need that!

By then, whether it’s a pterosaur with a wingspan of five or six meters, or a wind god wyvern more than ten meters long, they’ll all be taken care of with one shot.

In front of a 20mm cannon, all beings are equal!

Of course, deep down, no one really believes that such things will happen…

After that, everyone heatedly discusses what tools can be brought along, following the “work tool” idea.

Not only as weapons, but as long as you have a complete set of tools, a lot of things can be made directly!

“Speaking of which…” a moderately popular fishing master streamer [Air Force Commander] raises his hand and says, “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there’s something that may not be practical as a weapon, but it’s quite useful for making boats and processing wood.”

He operates the panel on the spot, manifesting a golden ax in his hand.

This immediately attracts everyone’s attention.

“Huh?” Sounds of surprise fill the air.

Ren Jian thought this was a rare achievement, and no one knew where it came from, so he asked, “How did you get this?”

“Fishing.” The Air Force Commander said as he manifested an iron axe and a silver axe.

“Catching 100 fish gets you an iron axe, unlocking an achievement. 1000 fish gets you a silver axe, and 3000 fish gets you a golden axe, each with corresponding achievements. Oh, don’t worry, the material shouldn’t be pure silver or pure gold; it’s hard enough, and I haven’t seen the edge curl while using it.”

Ren Jian opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

Is it a hardness issue?

How many people on the scene often fish and can produce these axes?

But the next moment, he was stunned to see the circle of players on the beach operating their panels.

One axe after another appeared in their hands. Although there weren’t many golden axes, almost everyone had an iron axe, and silver axes were everywhere!

“You guys…” Ren Jian felt choked.

You guys are really all fishing masters?!

But the others didn’t have time to deal with Ren Jian, and they beat their chests and stamped their feet: “If we had thought of this before, we wouldn’t have worked so hard to chop down trees and make rafts!”

They got these a few months ago when “Assassins’ Alliance” had just been released for a short time, and everyone was still in the “achievement fever” phase, specifically spending time fishing to collect them.

Later, they threw them deep into their memory, and no one would have thought of them if it weren’t for the Air Force Commander’s reminder.

At this moment, many people wanted to vomit blood!

The streamer [King of the Ocean], whose fans have a nickname [Sea King], looked at the ax in his hand and then back at the shovel by Camille Victoria’s feet, suddenly had an idea: “Can we widen the cave a little bit?”

Ren Jian felt that he must have spent too little time playing games.

He was already having a hard time keeping up with these people’s ideas!

“What’s the use of widening the cave?” Ren Jian asked.

[King of the Ocean], nicknamed [Sea King] by his fans, looked at Ren Jian, feeling that he was clueless: “The current width of the cave only allows for tree trunks the size of thighs; that’s why the rafts made are so fragile.”

“If we can widen the cave, we can chop down larger trees and transport thicker wood. By that time, we can directly build dozens of fifty-meter-long sailboats! Equipped with a ram, we’ll see who kills who!”

“But sailboats require steam engines, don’t they?” Ren Jian said uncertainly, “Are we going to pedal them?”

Sea King looked at Ren Jian as if he saw an idiot: “We can dismantle the off-road vehicles outside for their engines. Why do we need to pedal?”

“But, making a ship several meters long is not on the same level of difficulty as making a raft. Does anyone know how to do it?” Yelang was also curious.

Sea King only replied with two words: “I can.”

“…Awesome.” Yelang conceded.

Ren Jian, the host, watched as these people continuously proposed more and more outrageous ideas right under his nose.

What’s even more incredible is that they are all serious! They look inspired and ready to get to work after the meeting.

He could only continue the meeting with a stiff neck.

Another ten minutes later, everyone had basically exchanged information and ideas, and the meeting came to an end.

The preliminary plan was set: First, prepare weapons and equipment, then try the simpler and more familiar raft landing strategy, timing it all together, and let the”id=”air_force”” be on standby.

Even if there are huge risks and only a few people can get on the island afterward, they still want to try and set foot on it first.

If that doesn’t work, they’ll adopt Sea King’s strategy: Try to widen the cave, transport better materials, and then start climbing the technology tree!

In fact, even if the landing operation is successful, they may have to climb the technology tree in the end.

Because everyone wants to get to the island, they definitely can’t always use swarm tactics – that would be far too inefficient.

And the unlucky ones might never get a chance to go…

After setting up a group chat to facilitate the synchronizing of time and information, everyone began to act quickly.

The first general attack is set for an hour and a half later.

Time is of the essence!

Whether or not they can successfully land on the island tonight depends on this wave!
