246: Western players

With the start of Season Two, the number of online players in the Xuanhuan World instantly surged.

However, not all players created characters and descended immediately.

Most players were busy customizing their characters and choosing their starting conditions.

Indeed, in addition to faction wars and new races, Season Two finally added a new option for players who chose to physically enter the game: starting conditions.

Unlike players who soul-transmigrated and started with certain social connections, physical entry players could choose their starting map region.

Of course, it couldn't be precise down to a specific city, but it was a significant improvement over the previous completely random spawns.

Due to the unique characteristics of the Xuanhuan World, different regions had different resources, forces, and interpersonal relationships, making the choice of starting map region very important.

Many streamers quickly broadcasted their assessments of the pros and cons, immediately gaining considerable popularity.

And many players who came for the Yao Race discovered something incredible:

Choosing to start as a Yao Race member allowed them to choose their birthplace within the Immortal Dynasty's territory!

And choosing to start as a Human Race member allowed them to choose their birthplace within the North-South Mountains!

This instantly overturned many of the cloud players' assumptions before Season Two began.

It turned out that the Yao Race didn't only appear in the North-South Mountains.

The Human Race wasn't only born within the Immortal Dynasty's territory.

In other words, perhaps factions and races weren't completely bound together?

As soon as this conjecture emerged, players were in an uproar.

However... "Don't! Absolutely do not choose the Yao Race to start in the Immortal Dynasty!"

"Damn it, I just spawned, immediately exposed my Yao Race identity, and then was directly killed by a local Foundation Establishment cultivator leading people."

"F*ck, this is blatant racial discrimination!"

Some new players wanted to try playing as a Yao Race member in the Immortal Dynasty, but unexpectedly, they were immediately reset after just starting.

New players were still fine, at most wasting some time.

But for old players, those with Golden Fingers, it was simply a situation where they wanted to cry but had no tears.

At this time, some Human Race starting players also came to lament:

"F*ck, it's the same in the North-South Mountains. As soon as my Human Race identity was revealed, I was immediately targeted."

"I saw the Qingling Sect and thought I wouldn't be killed, but then the Qingling Sect ran away, and I was still targeted and killed by the Yao Race..."

"Turns out both sides have racial discrimination!"

As message after message spread,

all players learned that the two sides were utterly incompatible.

The Immortal Dynasty couldn't tolerate the Yao Race, and the Mountains couldn't tolerate the Human Race.

As soon as they showed themselves, they were immediately treated as enemies and killed.

In fact, this was also very normal; the characteristics of the Yao Race and Human Race were too obvious and easy to distinguish.

It was very convenient to distinguish factions based on this, so there was no room for new variables to be introduced.

Thus, players could only accept the status quo: Human Race players started in the Immortal Dynasty, and Yao Race players started in the Mountains... "Wow, I'm currently playing the Huaxia Federation's most popular large-scale multiplayer online game, which is... Xuanhuan World!

"Now I've arrived at the starting interface and need to choose between physical entry or soul transmigration..."

"Oh, the soul transmigration slots are already full. It seems others were really fast."

"Then we'll just have to choose physical entry..."

"Wow, these default clothing options are so cool. As expected of Huaxia's aesthetic, it's much stronger than ours in the Western Country!"

A man from the Western Country was live-streaming the game, introducing the Xuanhuan World to his audience while constantly expressing his admiration.

In reality, the Huaxia Federation was the strongest superpower on Blue Star, and every year, ancient-style games were exported overseas, naturally attracting a large number of foreigners who became fans of Huaxia culture.

Like the Western Country man currently streaming, he had blonde hair and blue eyes, but in his real body, he was wearing an ancient-style long robe.

And when he entered the game, faced with the choice between Human Race and Yao Race, he was eager to choose Human Race to experience the ancient Huaxia-style cities.

Just then, a wealthy patron suddenly showered him with rockets, which came down in quick succession, quickly exceeding one million.

The blonde man was dumbfounded. He had been streaming games for so many years and had accumulated over a million followers, but no one had ever spent so much money on him.

"Play as the Yao Race!"

The big shot's message was pinned and enlarged in the live stream, visible to everyone.

One million generously spent just for a race choice?

At this moment, everyone in the live stream was stunned, finding it incredible.

The wealthy patron continued to speak:

"We Western Country people should all play as the Yao Race, descend into the North-South Mountains, and be hostile to the Human Celestial Dynasty."

"Think about it carefully, the main players of the Human Celestial Dynasty are Huaxia people."

"We are suppressed in reality, should we continue to be suppressed in the game?"

"Of course not!"

"We should unite in the game, all choose the Yao Race, start from the North-South Mountains, and defeat the Human Celestial Dynasty. That would be defeating Huaxia!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the live stream was instantly ignited, and countless people frantically typed messages:

"That's right! We should choose the Yao Race!"

"The Yao Race also has blonde hair and blue eyes, which are characteristics of us Western Country people!"

"We must unite and defeat the Human Celestial Dynasty."

"Not only that, we must also build the strongest force in the Xuanhuan World, monopolize resources, and make Huaxia people pay us protection fees!"

Message after message flashed by.

The blonde streamer also felt a surge of excitement.

This was a path he had never considered.

The competition in reality had indeed failed, so what about in the game?

In a Huaxia ancient-style game, defeat the Huaxia people?

Thinking of this, the blonde streamer also became fervent and excited.

"Okay, I'll choose the Yao Race!"

"Let's all choose the Yao Race and defeat the Immortal Dynasty together!"

The blonde streamer selected the Yao Race and found that there were also subcategories to choose from.

None of them were powerful races, just ordinary Cat Demons, Dog Demons, Bear Demons, and so on.

The blonde streamer thought for a while and quickly made his choice:

Dog Demon.

He created a Dog Demon with pointy ears and sharp claws.

Then he thought for a moment and chose his name:

"Da Quan Knight."

Next, in the terrain region selection, Da Quan Knight hesitated.

Because according to the current situation, the Southern Mountains were relatively peaceful, not the Immortal Dynasty's main attack direction, making it easier for a starting point.

However, it was said that the Southern Mountains also had fewer resources and a harsher living environment.

The Northern Mountains had more resources and more powerful individuals, offering endless Opportunities, but they were the Immortal Dynasty's main attack direction, and starting there could easily lead to becoming cannon fodder.

These two choices were difficult to make.

Finally, a message flashed by:

"Didn't you say you wanted to go against the Huaxia people? Then you definitely choose the Northern Mountains!"

That's right!

Da Quan Knight perked up. Yes, he wasn't just playing the game; he also wanted to target the Huaxia people.

So, of course, the more intense Northern Mountains were suitable for a starting point!
