Chapter 602: The Impact of Reversed Time Flow (Update 120)
Chapter 602: The Impact of Reversed Time Flow (Update 120)
Not only the Imperial Blood Sky Elite Team 3, but similar stories were unfolding in every corner of the game world.
Players who focused on raiding dungeons were delighted. After completing their dungeons, they had a lot of time left, which they could use for anything they wanted.
Players who prioritized quests were also happy. The extended time meant they could complete more tasks, and they could now attempt ultra-long quests that they previously wouldn't dare to take on.
Craftsmen, alchemists, gatherers, miners, chefs, and anglers were even more elated. For them, time was everything, and the change in time flow was a hundred percent beneficial. They didn't need to grind as much.
There were still some players who delved into historical research, explored, ran businesses, and sailed the seas. It could be said that every player in the game benefited significantly from this change.
Combat-focused players could now have more leisure time to hone their PvP arena skills.
The only ones who might be less pleased were those who spent all their time grinding levels.
These players already found it torturous to spend 12 hours a day in the leveling zones, relying on chats to pass the time. If the previous rate of gaining experience remained, they would have to spend over 40 hours a day in the wild, turning their ordeal into a true torment.
But for the benefit of all players, some sacrifices were necessary.
The reversal of time flow not only had a massive impact on the game world but also on the real world.
After successfully reversing the time flow for an hour (displayed time), a high-level meeting was held in the Grand Hall of the "Relevant Department" headquarters.
The "Relevant Department" was no longer the small department it once was.
At this meeting, Deputy Minister Xue Wenli sat to the right of the conference table.
In the center and left of the table stood the 3D projections of Chairman Hu Jing and Commissar Zhang.
Below the stage were rows of seats.
After the meeting began, Xue Wenli detailed the purpose and significance of the time reversal to the officials below.
Most of the officials present were already aware of this, so they weren't particularly surprised.
But what truly caught them off guard was Xue Wenli's final statement.
Xue Wenli said, "Now that the time flow has been successfully reversed, I plan to move all the real-world departments under the 'Relevant Department' into the game within three working days. From then on, we will formulate policies and issue tasks within the game."
The "Relevant Department" was divided into two sections: the game section and the real-world section.
The game section, with over 6 million members, was under the jurisdiction of Zhong Feng, responsible for all in-game affairs.
The real-world section was managed by Xue Wenli, responsible for all forms of special tasks in the real world.
All the officials present were from the real-world section, and Xue Wenli's words immediately caused a stir among them.
This was because the officials in the real-world section were usually too busy to enter the game. Taking Xue Wenli as an example, she averaged less than half an hour of game time per day over the past six months.
Some of the officials present hadn't even left the newbie village!
Hearing that Xue Wenli planned to move the entire real-world section into the game, they naturally became agitated.
"Stop! Stop! Everyone, calm down," Xue Wenli waved her hand at the crowd below.
The agitation below immediately subsided.
Xue Wenli continued, "I understand that everyone has different opinions, such as the lack of phones and inconvenient communication in the game, and the difficulty of responding to emergencies in the real world.
But have you considered that we have 12 times the time in the game?
12 times the time is enough for us to do many things, and the game has already invented phones, so long-distance communication isn't a big issue."
"But..." someone below raised their hand to ask.
"No buts!" Xue Wenli said sternly. "I'll be clear with you: this is a mandatory task with no room for refusal!
Any difficulties in the game must be resolved, not avoided by staying in your comfort zone. Understand?"
Xue Wenli's voice echoed throughout the hall.
Chairman Hu Jing also added his support:
Hearing the two of them, the officials below no longer said anything.
They began to think about how to complete the transfer.
However, moving into the game wasn't necessarily bad, as they could find someone to level them up to 50, and their strength would be significantly enhanced after manifestation.
Seeing the officials below agree with her, Xue Wenli nodded in satisfaction.
She turned to the 3D projection of Chairman Hu Jing and asked, "Chairman Hu, regarding the location for the in-game headquarters, where do you think it would be best? Jinquehua City? Or Zhong Feng's territory?"
Currently, the headquarters of the game section was in Zhong Feng's territory, which had been upgraded to a medium-sized city through the collective efforts of the entire department. The 'Relevant Department' guild headquarters was also there.
However, Chairman Hu Jing shook his head. "Neither place is ideal."
Seeing all eyes focus on him, he explained, "Zhong Feng's territory is good, but there isn't much available land.
We need to move the real-world section into the game, which requires land for at least a million people to live, so his territory isn't suitable.
As for Jinquehua City, it's densely populated and doesn't have enough land for us. So we must choose a more suitable place."
At this point, Commissar Zhang, who had been silent, spoke up, "Do you mean we should establish a new city and move in?"
Chairman Hu Jing smiled and shook his head. "Not necessarily a new city. There's a place that's very suitable, but it's been overlooked by us all."
"Which place?"
"The place is — Forest City!"
"Forest City?!" Everyone present was surprised. They hadn't expected Chairman Hu Jing to choose this place.
A high-ranking official below raised his hand.
With permission, he stood up and said, "Chairman Hu, we officials here aren't particularly familiar with the game world. So I want to ask why you chose this city? What's the reasoning behind it?"
