232: Chapter 232 Newbie Surge? Newbie Village Expanded Again

The video of the Dragon Domain No. 1 core mine being affected by the shockback of the explosives was still hanging on the server-wide announcement board.

Players laughed at the stupidity of the Black Iron Alliance while continuing to mine, run dungeons, and snatch Dragon Crystals.

On the other hand, Luofeng Village, Fengyu Village, and Shiti Village were already on the verge of bursting.

There were too many new players.

The benefits in Dragon Domain were maxed out; the marriage system, mining rankings, seafood delicacies, petting dragons with Little Gold, and free PK tournaments were being spread to real-world forums one after another.

The registration channel for new accounts in "miracle" was completely overwhelmed.

At the spawn point in Luofeng Village, white light flashed non-stop.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A batch of newbies had just landed, and another batch spawned right behind them.

In front of the quest board, the line stretched for hundreds of meters.

"No way? I have to wait half an hour to pick up a Wild Rabbit killing quest?"

"I just entered the game, and I can't even squeeze out of the village entrance!"

"Who stepped on my foot? Can a virtual game really get this congested?"

Fengyu Village was even worse.

Over a dozen newbies surrounded a herb gathering point, waiting for the moonlight grass to refresh.

At the entrance of the blacksmith shop in Shiti Village, the line for repairing equipment turned three corners.

The world channel was full of newbies complaining.

"Please expand the Novice Area!"

"Veteran players are eating meat in Dragon Domain, while we newbies can't even snatch a quest!"

"Big Shot Lin Zhe, save us!"

High up in Wanlong City.

Lin Zhe looked at the backend data for the Novice Area with a calm expression.

Qing Yu said in a low voice, "Sir, the capacity of the three villages has already exceeded the limit by three times."

"The number of new account registrations is still rising."

Lin Zhe spoke indifferently, "Expand."

It was just one word.

The next second, a pale gold rule light curtain spanned across the entire server.

[Server-wide Announcement: Due to the surge in the number of new players, Lin Zhe, with the highest administrative authority of the Novice Area, has ordered the expansion of three new novice villages!]

[New novice villages added: Qingye Village, Baishi Village, and Chenxing Village!]

[The three new villages are incorporated into the Falling Maple system for unified management, enjoying equal novice protection, Public Warehouse, welfare quests, and teleportation privileges!]

Once the announcement was made, the newbies exploded with excitement.

"Expanded! It's really expanded!"

"Three new villages? Finally, we don't have to squeeze!"

Before they could finish cheering, a second announcement crashed down.

[Novice benefits fully upgraded!]

[All newly registered players will receive upon birth: a full set of Blue-tier equipment for novices × 1!]

[Gift: Intermediate Life Potion × 10!]

[Gift: 7-day 10% drop rate buff!]

[All novice villages have opened half-price teleportation channels directly to Dragon Domain; after reaching the required level, players can go directly to the public areas of Dragon Domain!]

Boom!

The whole server was completely boiling.

"Giving Blue-tier equipment at birth? And a full set?"

"Ten bottles of Intermediate Life Potion? I couldn't even bear to drink one back in my day!"

"A 7-day drop rate buff! Newbies are taking off from the start!"

The newly spawned newbies looked at the neat Blue-tier equipment in their backpacks, their eyes wide with shock.

[You have obtained: Novice Blue-tier equipment set]

[You have obtained: Intermediate Life Potion × 10]

[You have obtained: Drop rate +10%, lasting for 7 days]

A newbie with the ID [Got Rich Upon Arrival] immediately equipped the full set of Blue-tier equipment.

With a flash of blue light, he looked refreshed.

"Brothers, I've graduated with Level 1 Blue-tier equipment!"

Nearby veteran players grimaced with envy.

"Back in our day, we wore white equipment and hacked at Slimes until our hands went soft."

"Now newbies are born with Blue-tier equipment and can even go to Dragon Domain at half price."

"Don't be sour. The Lin family is giving out more and more benefits; this is a good thing."

The three new villages, Qingye Village, Baishi Village, and Chenxing Village, also quickly took shape.

The village entrance announcement board, Public Warehouse, quest hall, and teleportation array all landed with one click.

A pale gold rule light shield covered the three villages.

All players attempting to block entrances, snatch quests, or maliciously PK newbies immediately had warnings light up above their heads.

[Novice Protection Area, malicious interference with new player growth is prohibited]

The newbies were finally able to accept quests normally.

The Wild Rabbit spawn points were expanded into three areas.

The Slime area was diverted into five channels.

The line in front of the quest NPC no longer stretched to the point where the end couldn't be seen.

In the official backend, Zhou Ming looked at the registration data, his face almost twisted with a grin.

"How many are there?"

The technician's voice trembled: "General Manager Zhou, the number of new account registrations has exceeded one million in a single day!"

"It's still rising!"

Zhou Ming slammed the table.

"Add more benefits!"

"For all new players, give an extra 3-day +10% EXP gain buff!"

A new official announcement popped up immediately.

[Official additional benefit: To celebrate the completion of the Novice Area expansion, all newly registered players will receive an additional 3-day 10% EXP gain buff!]

The world channel was flooded again.

"The officials have finally become sensible!"

"Novice village expansion, doubled benefits, and extra EXP bonus; this start is too awesome!"

"Thank you, Big Shot Lin Zhe!"

High up in Wanlong City, Lin Zhe watched the novice retention rate climb all the way up and lightly tapped his fingertip.

The rule lines of the three new villages were steadily connected to the Falling Maple system.

From this moment on, if new players want to level up, get benefits, or go to Dragon Domain, they still cannot bypass the Lin family.
