The experts from the three major guilds were also displeased. They were called experts because their understanding of the game surpassed that of ordinary players.
A difference in level could be a fatal gap.
But under the same level, if someone else's base attributes were higher, wasn't that clearly cheating?
"Damn it, what is the Guild Leader thinking? Should we delete our characters?"
"Not sure, a large number of ordinary players are deleting their characters. It's said that quite a few have re-entered server 88 after repeatedly deleting their characters and have already accepted quests!"
"This is really frustrating. Without the Guild Leader's orders, I don't dare to delete my character privately, but seeing others with so many free attribute points is just infuriating."
Another hour passed.
The official discovered that there were still a large number of players continuously deleting their characters, and soon the game underwent online maintenance.
The login interface, the official forum, and the in-game system announcements.
Dear Players:
Hello, due to a large number of players repeatedly deleting their characters, which has had a negative impact on the operational environment, the character deletion button will be temporarily closed. It will be restored to normal after two days. We hereby announce this and wish all players a happy gaming experience.
This announcement immediately drew countless objections, as many players had not yet entered the newbie village of server 88.
"It's over, we're screwed."
"Damn it, that was so sudden. All my hard-earned level 5!"
"Son of a bitch, is the official trying to shut down the game like this?"
"What the hell, they're restricting it already? I haven't even entered yet. Collective complaint to the game operator."
Of course, there were also many hesitant players who were now庆幸 (qìng xìng - congratulating themselves) that they hadn't deleted their characters.
"Scared to death, almost deleted my character. Hesitated for a long time. Thankfully, the announcement came in time. I'm lucky."
"Damn, I was just about to click delete, but it prompted that deletion failed. I thought something was wrong, but now I understand."
The guild leaders of the three guilds were still deploying their guild members' character deletion plans, and even some elites had deleted their characters.
"Damn, you official dog. Luckily none of our experts were lost. If any had been lost, I would have blocked your company's door!"
When Zhang Pingfan saw the announcement, he was also taken aback. He was wondering why there were still new players entering the game at this hour. Turns out they all wanted to come to me.
Unfortunately, the character deletion function is closed. Otherwise, more would have come. Then tomorrow's beast tide would be interesting to deal with.
"Damn it, deleting characters is a player's freedom. The official even forbids this. However, looking at the current situation, there are quite a few people accepting quests. It should be fine!"
After several hours of maintenance, several defensive fortresses were built inside and outside the newbie village. It remained to be seen if they would be enough.
"Phew, finally completed the quest. I really got 1 free attribute point!"
"Got 1 free attribute point, beautiful!"
"Don't just focus on the free attribute points. These defensive structures built by so many players, are they meant to resist a monster siege?"
"Damn, I was so focused on the quest, I didn't think much about it. Now that you mention it, it's quite possible!"
"It's not possible, it's absolutely certain. This means there are follow-up quests, and those free attribute points..."
"Haha, meaning there are more rewards. This character deletion was worth it!"
On the other side, Zhang Pingfan had stopped issuing quests. As players completed their quests, Zhang Pingfan's accumulated free attribute points directly exceeded a thousand.
Nothing else to do, Zhang Pingfan once again put all of them into vitality.
Now Zhang Pingfan's health points soared to 30,000, which was almost terrifying.
"If I were a player, I would be invincible! (凸(艹皿艹)凸)"
Just as Zhang Pingfan was sighing, more and more players gathered around him again.
"Village Chief, are the defensive structures we built meant to resist a beast tide?"
"Yes, if Village Chief handsome doesn't mind, we are willing to help you protect the newbie village."
Of course, I need your help. I'm just afraid you'll be scared off then!
Dou Youyou was short in stature, and Zhang Pingfan was surrounded in the middle. She couldn't squeeze in.
"Master, Master, I'm back!"
Dou Youyou shouted from outside the crowd, instantly attracting the attention of many players.
"Huh, isn't this the loli the Village Chief was teasing at the beginning?"
"Who is she calling Master?"
"I don't know, let's see. Having a loli apprentice, that's awesome."
Hearing Dou Youyou's voice, Zhang Pingfan shouted, "Move aside, let my apprentice come over!"
As soon as he said this, it caused a huge stir.
"What do you mean, apprenticeship in the newbie village?"
"It seems so."
"If you follow the Village Chief, will you still lack free attribute points?"
"Damn, that's what it means."
When Dou Youyou reached Zhang Pingfan, she said with a complaint, "Don't you guys dislike me? Why are there so many people today?"
Seeing Dou Youyou say this, the faces of everyone present turned green. Everyone knew that the Village Chief held grudges. Don't instigate anything!
"Girl, are you mistaken? How could we possibly dislike the Village Chief? We like him too much!"
"Yes, yes, we love the Village Chief as much as we love our girlfriends!"
"My love for the Village Chief is like a never-ending torrent, like..."
Zhang Pingfan almost spat out blood. Seeing these burly men expressing their love for him was too much to bear.
"Stop! All of you stop. You're all disgusting me!"
As soon as Zhang Pingfan spoke, the entire audience fell silent. After all, they were still waiting for the Village Chief's food.
"There will be a beast tide tomorrow, but the exact time is unknown. Are you sure you want to accept the quest? The difficulty of this quest is Hard+, which is second only to Hell level."
Second only to Hell level. If they heard this in normal times, they would have to consider it. But now, this was a newbie village, and everyone was penniless. Who was afraid?
"Village Chief, don't worry, we accept this quest."
Such a high-difficulty quest would definitely give a lot of free attribute points. They were already overjoyed in their hearts. Losing levels could be recovered, but free attribute points were more valuable.
Zhang Pingfan thought he would have to persuade them, but he underestimated the temptation of free attribute points.
"Very good, line up and prepare to receive quests. Upon completion, your level will increase by 1, and you will receive 5 free attribute points!"
【Ding! System prompt: The newbie village chief has issued you a Hard+ quest: Defend the newbie village and resist the beast tide. Upon completion, your level will increase by 1, and you will receive 5 free attribute points!】
"Damn, 5 free attribute points, totally worth it!"
"Tomorrow I'm not even going to work, I'll just stay here!"
"Damn it, I'm so envious of the players before. With this, they should have 11 points in total. That's monstrous."
"Village Chief handsome, I love you to death!"
"Village Chief little brother, big sister also loves you to death!"
"Village Chief is mighty and overbearing! Our newbie village server 88 is rising strongly!"
"Terrifying!"
