The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 318: Looking Further Ahead

Watching Mr. Zhou’s retreating figure, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching couldn’t help but gently shake his head: "Ah, young people still can’t keep their cool."

After a brief moment of thought, he decided not to follow and instead stepped back into his own house.

Mr. Zhou made his way to the Sacrificial Altar, just in time to encounter the players coming out.

Fang Ka had linked the consciousness of these players into the bodies of Undead Skeletons, gave an opening speech, issued a usual task, and then left for the Ancient Castle.

These players lingered at the Sacrificial Altar for quite a while after Fang Ka left, before finally heading out.

After all, there were so many new players, and them talking among themselves indeed wasted quite a lot of time.

Therefore, it was just that Mr. Zhou happened to catch them as they were coming out.

Seeing such a large number of players, Mr. Zhou couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

Indeed, the visual impact was quite astonishing.

So he immediately stepped forward to introduce himself and began to ask if there were any Dual-Class Players among them.

Because there were so many players, only the players in the front part heard Mr. Zhou’s words.

They stopped, blocking the entrance to the Sacrificial Altar, causing the players in the back, who had no idea what was happening, to start swearing.

Fortunately, the players in the front started to pass the message back, explaining what had happened in the front.

Suddenly, many players began responding and trying to squeeze out of the crowd.

Two Dual-Class Players, who were relatively close to the front, managed to come out without much effort and came before Mr. Zhou.

"Mr. Zhou, I’ve heard so much about you; I’ve seen a lot of legends about you in the game forum," said one Dual-Class Player very enthusiastically.

Hearing this Dual-Class Player’s compliment, Mr. Zhou was in a much better mood.

He quickly responded modestly: "That’s just everyone giving me undeserved credit, nothing notable. Let’s go have a talk on the side; we’re blocking everyone’s way here."

At this moment, Mr. Zhou also realized that because he made these players stop, the players behind were blocked and he could hear the bustling and swearing sounds from the back.

So he led the two Dual-Class Players to the side, opening the path for the other players.

These players, although curious about Mr. Zhou, were more eager to explore Kain Island and complete tasks.

Hence, regular players who were not Dual-Class did not linger much and immediately headed to explore other directions of Kain Island.

Upon hearing the messages passed among players, all the Dual-Class Players eventually found Mr. Zhou.

Finding out there were nearly 20 Dual-Class Players this time, Mr. Zhou was even more pleased.

His previous experiences taught him that the number of Dual-Class Players had no relation to the number of new players entering the game.

So this time, he didn’t hold too much hope; even if there was not a single Dual-Class Player among the 20,000 players, he would have accepted it completely.

This time he mainly came to see what the situation and scene looked like with 20,000 players, to witness such a rare spectacle.

Unexpectedly, this time, among 20,000 players, there were so many Dual-Class Players.

This number was indeed quite significant, even more than all the older Dual-Class Players combined.

Finally, Mr. Zhou and these Dual-Class Players had some friendly chats.

Then he took them to find Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching.

This time, he had quite a hefty gain, not only adding more members to his Mage Association but also witnessing the massive scene of the new players.

Meanwhile, Fang Ka, who had already returned to the front of the Ancient Castle, sat back on his lounge chair and began pondering his future plans.

After significantly increasing the profits for the new players, it currently would take just about a month for them to smoothly advance to High Tier.

This wasn’t the issue; the issue was the subsequent arrangements.

Should they continue exploring westward?

According to Frankie, there were still many large islands like the Southern Beastman Island if they continued westward.

However, there was no noteworthy power or territory worth mentioning.

The main problem is that from east to west is a very long line, and Fang Ka believes occupying such a line poses a significant problem.

Moreover, as they continued westward, the distances between those islands became increasingly distant.

Unlike his current situation, where the power and territory are not far apart.

After some deliberation, Fang Ka decided to abandon the idea of continuing westward exploration.

Of course, abandoning westward exploration doesn’t mean Fang Ka plans to stay in his old territory.

With the current explosion in the number of players, Fang Ka feels it’s necessary to set his sights farther.

This so-called long-term vision naturally means the outer periphery of the Chaotic Sea Domain.

The current region Fang Ka is in at most counts as the edge of the Chaotic Sea Domain, not even the outer periphery.

Continuing to advance into the Chaotic Sea Domain would reach the true outer periphery.

As for the real core area, that’s much farther away.

The outer periphery of the Chaotic Sea Domain would surely have many challenging enemies and forces.

But Fang Ka currently has enough confidence.

These 20,000 new players are his confidence.

Therefore, he plans to wait for a month. Once all these new players reach High Tier, he will set his sights on the outer periphery of the Chaotic Sea Domain and begin the incursion there.

In fact, Fang Ka can further improve the players’ benefits, which would reduce the time for them to reach High Tier.

However, Fang Ka feels there’s no need because this isn’t just a game; it’s the real world, and players need to adapt while improving their strength.

This way, when players reach High Tier, they’ll have enough adaptability and maintain ample combat power.

Otherwise, if they’re boosted directly to High Tier like growing crops too quickly, they’ll probably find it hard to adapt and fully utilize their inherent strength.

So a month is just right, enough for players to adapt without being too long, just enough to reach High Tier.

These new players are different from the reincarnated and resurrected veteran players; those veteran players have long since adapted.

They naturally don’t need adjustment and can be directly boosted to High Tier in one go.

Aside from this matter, Fang Ka has another idea.

Previously, he was a Middle Tier Mage, so this idea wasn’t feasible, but now it’s worth considering.
