Anyone who can survive on the Aeltia Continent isn’t a fool.
You don’t even need to say it to know that the money in Edgar’s hands can’t be used recklessly.
At the very least, farmers need to hide Red Sun Coins for a whole year before they even consider leaving their hometown to spend them in neighboring cities.
If the supplies provided to Edgar affect their lives for the next six months, the farmers would absolutely refuse!
Leaf Zhi stroked his chin.
“That’s definitely a problem.”
Even if the clothing issue for new Players is solved, before they recover their strength, the problem of material scarcity will keep recurring.
So, besides Architects who can build houses and Blacksmiths who make tools, they’re still short on Tailors who can sew Newbie Suits.
Aside from Players, Leaf Zhi also needs to find some locals to take on the task of crafting in-game items and become guide NPCs for Players.
Leaf Zhi made the decision.
“Let’s shoot the Promotional Video first. I’ll try to solve this problem as soon as possible!”
The Promotional Video was shot quickly.
After all, the camera was just Leaf Zhi’s eyes, and the magic skills Edgar used weren’t special effects.
To make the final product look even better, Leaf Zhi even dragged out Xiao Ming, who was snoring away.
The original plan of shooting in thin air was changed to finding an unlucky Monster outside Town.
With a sense of crisis and real bloodshed, the visual impact was much stronger!
By the time they finished filming, the morning dew had just evaporated.
The three Players were still asleep.
Leaf Zhi went over to check on them.
He found that the aftereffects of magic depletion were severe—they were still unconscious.
They probably wouldn’t wake up until tomorrow.
In other words, for the whole day today, no Players would visit Aeltia.
Xiao Ming successfully got a day off!
Edgar tried going out to see if he could buy some spare clothes from other farmers.
Regardless of whether Leaf Zhi found a Tailor or not, the current problem had to be dealt with first.
Leaf Zhi stayed in the Church, focusing on Blue Star Network matters.
After some skillful operations, he compressed the ten-minute video down to six minutes.
He checked and watched it several times to confirm there were no errors, then set it aside.
He began to draft the Game Announcement.

Next was the Official Website update announcement:

The registration info page now has a Player specialty section, offering more ways for outstanding Players to be selected.

“That should do it.”
Leaf Zhi clicked ‘send,’ posting both announcements and the Promotional Video on the Official Website.
Looking at the increasingly refined webpage, Leaf Zhi felt more and more satisfied.
“What’s this? So what if I haven’t coded in 682 years? Picking it up again is easy!”
Saying this, Leaf Zhi also changed the Game Icon to Xiao Ming’s sleeping photo.
The glowing ball, round as a balloon, took up the whole picture.
With its stubby hands and wide-open mouth, the colors weren’t as dull as Leaf Zhi expected.
It looked just right.
“As expected, this little thing is born to be a mascot!”
Leaf Zhi once again affirmed his taste.
Look, what a perfect creature to be a Game Icon!
Just as Leaf Zhi was about to close the page, a registration notification suddenly popped up in the background.
Leaf Zhi: “???”
Last time during the closed beta, he had to act as a water army and keep the registration info up for days before getting three Players.
Why did someone register immediately after posting this time?
And that wasn’t all.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Registration messages popped up one after another.
In no time, Leaf Zhi had six Player info forms in his hand.
He opened the registration info for a Player named “Tian Li San Hua.”
At the end, in the message section, he saw a line:
[Show Bro recommended me. Please give me a black curtain.]
“Show Bro? Could it be that Player named ‘Ren Bu Xiu Ji’?”
Leaf Zhi’s mouth dropped open in surprise.
“He made a Game recommendation for《Under the Gods》?”
Leaf Zhi immediately searched the name on the web and really found a Game blogger with the same name.
Coincidentally, the other party had just posted a new video an hour ago.
[Does Virtual Reality Gaming Really Have No Future? No, The Future Is Already Here!]
The title was too easy to guess.
The only virtual reality Games being discussed online were Next Generation Virtual Reality Game Concept Trailer ‘Divine Realm’ and 《Under the Gods》(riding the hype).
Leaf Zhi clicked on it without hesitation.
“Hello everyone, I’m Ren Bu Xiu Ji. If people don’t show themselves, they’ll AFK by the spring!”
“Recently, the virtual reality topic has been especially hot in the Game circle. Coincidentally, my longtime viewers know that I’m also a veteran virtual reality Game fan!”
“Everyone’s been arguing about whether ‘Divine Realm’ can become the recognized virtual reality Game. But old Show here secretly got a closed beta slot for another similar Game!”
“By now, you should all be able to guess the name of the new Game. That’s right, it’s 《Under the Gods》!”
“Because in-game recording isn’t allowed for now, I could only use Official Website Promotional Images and other materials for the visuals.”
“(By the way, the Official Website for 《Under the Gods》 is really trash! I could throw a handful of rice on the keyboard and make a better page than this! Game company, v me 50, I’ll find a college student to build it for you!)”
Leaf Zhi: “…… Why the personal attack?”
What’s wrong with the Official Website?
Doesn’t it have all the basic functions?
At most, the page isn’t pretty, it loads a bit slowly, and maybe it’s a bit buggy…
