Chapter 62 The number of people in the closed beta test exceeded 1,000!
The sale of spider silk has not yet progressed, but there are already signs that demand for the Flame King's amulets exceeds supply.
As Luo Yan expected, this thing was not only welcomed by the residents of Silver Pine Town, but also sought after by adventurers.
After all, for most adventurers, the scary thing is not that the body is desecrated or used, but that even the soul is enslaved as the puppet of the necromancer.
Although the amulet is not as effective as holy water, it can at least free their souls from their broken bodies.
Just when the threshold of the church in Yinsong Town was broken through by believers, Luo Yan’s “Cemetery” finally ushered in the third wave of newcomers.
With the completion of the task of "ensuring that the average daily net income of faith value exceeds 1,000 points for three consecutive days", the 500 closed beta qualifications issued by the natural disaster system were received, and another batch of fresh leeks came running in, making the whole mine creaking and banging.
Why do you choose skeleton soldiers? ”
“I want to choose zombies, but let me choose!”
“If you don’t choose skeleton soldiers, why don’t you choose dwarves and mounts?”
“???”
"Thank you, the Dead Rat player was offended!"
These noisy guys are still in the category of normal players, while some abnormal guys have already jumped on Sarah's counter.
Compared with when she first joined the company, Sarah's character is obviously much calmer.
Before, she would be scared to death by these overly excited skeleton soldiers, but now she looks at them like restless kittens, and a yawn is considered a reaction.
It’s performance art time.
Until these guys have vented their excitement, no one can do anything.
Hence, the smart Luo Yan ignored them at all, told Youyou to take a good look at his handsome statue, and decided to close his eyes and stay in bed for a while.
He has been severely sleep deprived these past few days.
When I'm not practicing dragon language magic, I'm spawning monsters in the maze, or running back and forth in various places in the Demon King's territory, playing the role of NPC.
There will be a fight with the Earth Dragon Clan soon.
He has to recuperate his spirit first.
At the same time, in the corner of the Quality Square, a plain-looking skeleton soldier was standing in the corner of the sea of skeletons, looking around blankly and mumbling incessantly.
His ID is The Past Is Like Smoke.
Although this sounds like a name full of stories, there are actually not many stories in it. The so-called past events are just junior high school and elementary school.
He did not stand with those low-level skeleton soldiers, nor did he rush to form a team to upgrade. Instead, he followed the signs on the wall of the mine and walked to the entrance of the Beifeng Mine and stood at the end of the winding mountain road.
Everything that caught his eye made Brother Experience froze in place.
He always thought that the so-called fully immersive virtual reality game was just a joke, or even a clumsy scam... But he didn't expect that the world that appeared in front of him was even more shocking and vast than he had imagined!
He sat on a stone pier beside the mountain road, letting his vision extend along the autumn red all over the mountains and into the distance where the clouds and mist shrouded the distance.
dedication' "It's just like the real thing."
It’s not in vain that he has been fighting the black-hearted second-hand dealers for so long!
Sure enough, only by enduring the most hardships can one become a master. In an instant, he felt that all the hardships he had suffered these days were all worth it!
At this moment, Brother Xian doesn't want to think about anything, he just wants to sit here quietly all day.
However, misfortune always seems to come to "misfortunes". Just when he was thinking this, a line of dark green pop-up windows suddenly appeared in front of him.

Past Ruyan's face suddenly changed, and his butt jumped up from the ground as if it was on fire.
…
【Faith value: 7077】
【Daily growth: 3120 (+560)】
【Daily consumption: 1000 (+500)】
The magic workshop of the Demon King's territory.
Luo Yan, who had been lying in bed for two hours, had just woken up with a yawn. At this moment, he was sitting on the bed checking the "financial statements" of the Demon Lord.
When I woke up, I actually gained 560 points of faith.
It seems that Father Matt has made a lot of noise.
As for the increase in daily consumption, it is mainly due to the maintenance cost incurred by new players.
Sixty percent of the players who logged in this time were skeleton soldiers, 30% were undead rats, and there were still only a handful of crypt spiders.
But this is up to them. Since everyone below the Black Iron level is cannon fodder anyway, it doesn’t make much difference to him what he chooses.
… I didn't expect that the residents of Silverpine Town worshiped someone other than the Demon King, and I can also increase their faith points."
Yuyou floated to his side and said excitedly.
"Of course, Lord Demon King, after all, the King of Flame is you!"
Luo Yan touched his chin with interest.
"So, as long as it is a legend about me, regardless of whether it contains the element of the Demon King, I can gain faith points?"
H] Regarding this question, Yuyou thought seriously for a while, shook her head and said.
"Well, that's not the case, at least there must be an area of cognitive overlap."
Luo Yan: "Cognitive overlap?"
Yuyou: "That's right! It's better than For example, the amulet provided by King Yan comes from you, and the residents of Silverpine Town believe in King Yan largely because the amulet he provides can suppress the undead. Rounding things off, people's belief in King Yan is equal to their belief in you! "
"For another example, you are basing the Flame King's life experience on yourself, right? If people also know your life experience, Lord Demon King, and find that you are surprisingly similar, this can also be a huge plus point! Of course, because you are too similar, there is a risk of losing your vest."
That's it.
Luo Yan probably understood what Youyou meant.
Simply put, the more similar the characters of the two vests are, the higher the overlap in performing miracles, the more faith value he can share from the "trumpet".
If the two vests completely overlap, then there will be no question of whether they can be distinguished or not, and people's belief in King Yan will be directly transferred to his "main title".
This sounds like the best approach.
However, taking off the vest is not without risks.
After all, there are prerequisites for the vast majority of residents in Yinsong Town to worship King Yan.
That is, the entire legend is within the framework of Saint Sith's faith, not within the framework of the Demon God.
Before the local faith in Saint Sith wavers, taking off the vest may actually cause most people's faith in the Flame King to return to zero. Even if this can increase their fear of the Demon King, it is still an act that outweighs the gains and losses.
However, after hearing what Youyou said, Luo Yan thought of a good idea in his heart.
That is the return of the Demon King to the Demon King, and the return of the Flame King to the Flame King!
In the core territory under his control, he can directly use acolytes to spread the Demon King's faith, while outside the core territory, he mainly relies on bards and adventurers to spread the legend of the Flame King!
It’s not even just King Yan.
He can open many similar vests on the territory of Saint Sith, and then use similar methods to continue to take advantage of the church until the latter can't stand it anymore!
"...I understand the basic situation, I will pay attention to it."
"Hmm, as expected of the Demon King! He understood the key to the problem in an instant!"
Seeing that the Demon King had understood what he meant, Yunyu happily sent a rainbow fart.
However, Luo Yan had already grown tired of hearing about flattery, so he didn't take it to heart at all and continued to focus on the "financial statements".
The consumption of faith points has been a bit high these days, mainly due to a lot of extra expenses.
On the one hand, more than 100 players have been upgraded to Black Iron, which directly consumes 10,000 points of faith and accounts for the bulk of the expenditure.
The other one is the cost of resurrection.
Ordinary players are fine, the basic resurrection cost is only a little. Once you reach the Black Iron level, the cost of resurrection begins to depend on the level and race type.
For example, if the player level is a lv4 black iron skeleton soldier, the resurrection cost is 4+5=9 points. If it is a lv4 black iron level crypt spider, the resurrection cost will soar to 4+10=14 points.
Although the overall cost of resurrection is double digits or less, it is still a large expense in total, with a total of 460 points spent in three days.
Of course, because of the existence of death penalty, most players are more cautious when faced with life and death decisions.
Especially for players who carry equipment, even if the equipment is registered, it will still be a troublesome thing to pick it back up, and they have to be careful about it being taken away by adventurers or monsters.
According to the resurrection expenditure curve, as time goes by and players gradually become familiar with the characters they control, resurrection expenditures will generally peak at the time when players are reincarnated intensively, and then show a downward trend in the following days.
In addition, the faith value gained naturally and unexpectedly in the past three days totaled over six thousand.
It is also thanks to this income, otherwise the faith value reserve in Luo Yan's hand would not be enough for the players to upgrade.
"A thousand players all upgrade to Black Iron, and a total of 100,000 faith points are needed... Hiss, so expensive!"
One hundred thousand faith points are enough for him to hit the silver!
Luo Yan suddenly felt a numbness in his scalp when he thought that players who had upgraded to black iron would immediately start competing for bronze.
No wonder the chosen ones do not live long.
"We have to find a way to suppress the contribution value income..."
Hence, wait until I reach silver, and you can go to bronze.
At this time, Youyou's voice suddenly came from the side again.
"Lord Demon King, the envoy from the Land of Nightmares has visited you again, and your mount Arakto is waiting for you."
Put away the mirror in his hand, Luo Yan got up from the bed.
"I came just in time, I just had something to ask them, so I asked the guy to wait for me at the old place."
"Okay!"
Youyou responded enthusiastically, and then floated away happily like a messenger bat.
It suddenly occurred to me that I could save the remaining thousand words for the next chapter, so as to avoid breaking the chapter
