31: Chapter 31: Benefits for Casual Players - Public Warehouse Open

With Lin Chen's single sentence, "We need to find a place to put them," the area around the dirt mound went instantly silent.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the pile of supplies that was about to block the road.

Blue gear materials were stacked crate by crate. Potions were bundled together. White and green gear were piled up like a small mountain.

If they kept piling up like this, let alone the gift-giving teams being unable to pass, even the players grinding monsters would have to take a detour.

Xing Jianwan held Lin Chen and whispered, "The village entrance is indeed almost full."

Lin Zhe glanced at the supplies, his tone indifferent. "Open the warehouse."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he clapped his little hands with a smack. "Open!"

Hum— In the center of Luofeng Village, the old abandoned granary suddenly lit up with golden light. The broken wooden door opened automatically. Above the warehouse, a row of pale golden characters appeared.

[Luofeng Village Public Warehouse is now open] [Basic supply distribution rules are now in effect] [Solo players with 10 Contribution Points can claim basic supplies] [Limited to 3 claims per week] [Newbie Support Fund activated simultaneously]

The next second, Lin Chen added in a milky voice, "Put all the excess low-level potions, white gear, and green gear inside." "Solo players can claim them." "Newbies who just entered the village can also claim these benefits."

As soon as these words fell, the entire Luofeng Village exploded. "A public warehouse?" "Claim them for free?" "Not selling, but giving away?" "Holy crap! Solo players get this treatment too?"

A group of players rushed toward the center of the village like madmen. The notice at the warehouse entrance had fully lit up.

[Newbie Support Fund] [Target Audience: Newbie players entering Luofeng Village for the first time] [Claimable Content: One set of newbie white gear, 5 bottles of Basic Health Potion] [Claim Limit: Once per account] [Basic Rules of Public Warehouse] [Contribution Points ≥ 10: Can claim basic supplies for free] [Claimable Supplies: Low-level potions, white gear, basic green gear] [Limited to 3 times per week]

A level 1 little warrior who had just transferred stood in front of the notice, his eyes nearly popping out. "Did I read that right?" "A set of white gear... and five bottles of potion too?"

A solo mage next to him was so excited he slapped his thigh. "Big Shot Lin is afraid the newbies will starve to death!" "Go claim it! Go claim it quickly!"

Xing Jianwan had already carried Lin Chen to the warehouse entrance and began to maintain order. "Come one by one." "Register first, then claim." "Do not push."

Lingxiao Pavilion and several solo patrol squads immediately followed up, dividing the queue into two lines. Those giving gifts went to the left. Those claiming supplies went to the right.

Once the warehouse opened, the first ones to rush in were not guild players, but the solo players who were usually suppressed and couldn't catch their breath in other newbie villages.

Someone received a set of white gear and changed into it on the spot, their eyes turning red. "I've been playing for three days since the server opened, and I'm still wearing the rags the system gave me..." "This place is just too conscientious."

Another person held five bottles of Basic Health Potion, trembling with excitement. "I was blocked by guilds before and couldn't even afford potions." "Now they're giving them away for free!"

Lin Zhe stood not far away, watching batches of players enter and exit the warehouse, his expression calm.

In the crowd, a little newbie who had just entered the server was the most eye-catching. His ID was [Little Pumpkin]. He was only level 1.

After claiming a full set of newbie white gear and five bottles of Basic Health Potion, he stood at the warehouse entrance in a daze for a long time, as if he hadn't yet recovered from the shock.

A player next to him patted him. "What are you spacing out for? Go grind monsters!"

Little Pumpkin nodded quickly, clutching the potions and running toward the village entrance. It turned out this kid had really good luck.

With gear, potions, the Luofeng Village area-wide buff bonus, and no one bullying him, he managed to push all the way from level 1 to level 5 that same night.

The moment he reached level 5, this little newbie stood on the dirt mound at the village entrance and posted a long message on the world channel.

"I'm a newbie who just entered the server today. I was originally having monsters stolen by guilds in other newbie villages and couldn't even grab quests; I almost wanted to delete my character. But after transferring to Luofeng Village, I received a set of gear and five bottles of potion for free. No one collects money, no one blocks the road, and there are bonuses for grinding monsters. I leveled up to 5 in just one day. Thank you, Big Shot Lin Zhe, thank you, Little Archon Lin, Luofeng Village is truly a paradise for solo players!"

As soon as this long post was sent out, the world channel instantly exploded. "A paradise for solo players?" "Giving away gear and potions for free?" "Level 5 on the first day?" "I've been blocked by guilds in another village for a whole day and haven't even reached level 4!" "Why does Luofeng Village get such good treatment!"

In less than half a day, solo players in every newbie village couldn't sit still anymore. Especially those who were exploited, had monsters stolen, or were charged passage fees by guilds, they went crazy submitting transfer applications.

"Requesting transfer to Luofeng Village!" "I want to go to Luofeng Village!" "Please, officials, transfer me over!" The number of applications skyrocketed. Tens of thousands. Over a hundred thousand. Hundreds of thousands.

The official backend notifications were flashing red like crazy. [Abnormal growth in transfer applications] [Target Area: Luofeng Village] [Current total applications: 327641]

In the Operations Department conference room, a group of people looked at the data with scalp-tingling dread. "Should we handle it?" "Handle it my ass!" "Why don't you try touching the Luofeng Village teleportation rules?" "Have you forgotten how the GM account disappeared last time?"

Someone gritted their teeth and said, "Then don't respond?" The person in charge, Zhou Ming, kept a dark face, finally squeezing out a sentence after a long while. "Play dead." "Don't approve anyone." "No one is to touch the rules of Luofeng Village."

Thus, hundreds of thousands of transfer applications piled up in the backend, and the officials didn't dare to move a single one, forced to pretend they didn't see it and couldn't even issue an announcement.

Meanwhile, over at Luofeng Village, the number of players was still skyrocketing. One day. Two days. Three days. In less than a week, the number of online players in Luofeng Village directly exceeded one hundred thousand. It was more exaggerated than all the surrounding newbie villages combined.

The white light at the village entrance teleportation array connected into a continuous stream, the queue at the warehouse entrance stretched from morning until night, yet the monster grinding areas remained orderly. There was no guild blocking the gates. No fighting over monsters.

Instead, more and more guilds took the initiative to donate potions, white gear, and basic materials to the warehouse, just to grind a bit more Contribution Points and incidentally show their faces in front of Lin Zhe.

"Send this batch of potions in too." "Right, count it as our guild contribution." "Don't be stingy, the rules here with Big Shot Lin are worth more than anywhere else."

The warehouse became fuller and fuller. Solo players were beaming with excitement as they claimed items. Newbie players came in in batches and grew up in batches.

Lin Zhe stood on the dirt mound at the village entrance and could clearly feel that the sense of awe and support belonging to the players above Luofeng Village was constantly converging on him. The Power of Rules was rising bit by bit.

Lin Chen lay in Xing Jianwan's arms, swinging his little feet, and spoke in a milky voice. "Daddy." "Everyone likes it here even more now."

Lin Zhe looked at the endless queue at the warehouse entrance, his gaze shifting slightly. In the distance, even more white light was falling toward Luofeng Village.
