Chapter 129 Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes
Once the thought of "quitting" was clear in his mind, Long You quickly felt the scene in the blacksmith shop in front of him gradually blurring.
A sense of detachment washed over him, and Long You subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was back in the specially partitioned cubicle classroom in the Soul Guidance Department's teaching building.
After removing his helmet and the rest of his Panlong suit, Long You blinked to ease the discomfort caused by the sudden change in scenery. He then placed the Panlong suit directly in his own small cubicle and walked out leisurely.
Walking along the narrow corridor between the cubicles, Long You could sense that the classroom was still quiet, with most people preparing to log off.
Shrek Academy emphasizes practical combat. Even if the Soul Guidance Department does not place as much emphasis on practical combat as the Martial Soul Department, it is impossible for the students of the Soul Guidance Department to be completely without practical combat experience.
The models created in the game Panlong Realm will not disappear after the player logs off. Once the model is destroyed, it is considered a death in the game.
Given that you only have one game life in the first month, experienced players wouldn't log off unprepared. While logging off completely does lock the game's time, this lock is lifted the moment you log back in.
If your location isn't safe enough, those first few seconds of adjustment after logging in could very well cost you a game life.
Long You dared to log off directly because the blacksmith shop was located within the safe zone. However, others might not be as lucky as Long You. Those in the city were fine; they could easily find a corner to hide in. But what about those in the wilderness outside the city? What about those who were engaged in battle? They had to find a safe place to wait before being forced offline.
Since He Caitou and the others hadn't come out, Long You wasn't in a hurry to leave. Taking advantage of the time he still had and his soul power reserves being relatively sufficient, he quickly used his cheat code to finish the blueprints for the flying soul tool he had wanted to create.
Ten minutes later, new content appeared on Long You's Book of Witness Martial Soul, and the entire classroom began to buzz with excitement. At the same time, the loudspeaker announcements typical of school days blared throughout the classroom.
"Dear students, the Panlong Realm online experience has now ended. From now on, every Saturday and Sunday will be Panlong Realm Open Days. At other times, Panlong Realm will be closed, and normal teaching will continue."
The loudspeaker's voice came from Qian Duoduo, but even the vice dean couldn't stop the students from booing in disappointment.
It's an online game! A fully immersive, panoramic virtual online game that you can completely get into; it's really fun.
The students in the Douluo Continent world had never encountered anything like this before, and it was a time of novelty and excitement. But before they could even get their fill, it was abruptly stopped, with the rule that they could only play twice a week. How could they not be disappointed?
However, studying is the most important thing; striving to improve your skills is what everyone should be doing during their time at Shrek Academy. While the game "Panlong Realm" does offer the advantage of a fully virtual environment to enhance practical combat experience, it's still important to remember that.
However, its development is still inadequate and cannot completely replace real-world practical exercises. Moreover, theoretical knowledge should not be neglected either.
After leaving the Panlong Classroom (it doesn't feel right to keep calling it a cubicle, let's just give it a more dramatic name), Lin Zhengze, He Caitou, Long You, Huo Yuhao, and Song He naturally came together.
Their mentor in the Soul Guidance Department is Fan Yu, and they are fellow disciples. Now that they are completing missions together in the Panlong Realm online game, they have to work together even more.
After returning to Experiment Zone 11 on the first floor, the five of them gathered in Lin Zhengze's independent laboratory. They needed to have an online exchange with Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Xu Sanshi from the Martial Soul Department.
The limitation on the online time was an unexpected situation, and the schedule that had been discussed in the blacksmith shop needed to be changed again.
With satellites launched and smartphones equipped with soul guide devices becoming increasingly common, video chat has become quite convenient, and group video chats are no longer impossible.
It was obvious that the Martial Soul Department had also issued a notice about the time limit for going online, so Bei Bei and the others wanted to contact Long You, and their communication requests were basically answered as soon as they were sent.
Xu Sanshi was the first to speak: "Time is much tighter than we expected. The time left for Beishuang City to defeat the sandworm swarm is not thirty days, but less than ten days."
In this small team that has now expanded to eight people, apart from Tang Ya, who has always been unwilling to use her brain, and Huo Yuhao and the chubby Song He, who still need to grow, it's hard to say how strategic the others are, but their tactical skills are all quite competent.
Given this premise, the more impatient member of the team is more likely to be the one to raise the questions. As for who answers the questions? Currently, Longyou is the choice in the vast majority of cases, and this remains true.
"This change in timing has put us at a significant disadvantage. As we've said before, victory in this battle depends on the strength of 'human resources'."
But now time is tight, and we may not be able to secure enough manpower. At the very least, the defenses of North Frost City cannot be strengthened to the point where we envision stable control within a one-kilometer radius.”
"Xiao You, do you mean that we can only ensure the stability of the city's defenses, but cannot rely on the strength of Beishuang City itself to launch a counterattack?" As soon as Long You said this, Bei Bei on the other side immediately understood the deeper meaning.
"Yes, time is too tight, and we simply cannot simultaneously enhance the city's defensive and offensive capabilities."
However, if the fire support on the city walls is inadequate, the residents of Northfrost City will be at a significant disadvantage against the sandworms once they venture out into the open. While they won't be completely unable to fight, the casualties will be extremely heavy.
The population of Northfrost City is already too small; I don't recommend going out into the open for battle until the very last moment.
"Victory in battle still requires the strength of 'human forces'." This time it was He Caitou who spoke. "We have a limit to how much we can improve the internal strength of Beishuang City, so now we can only try to get more external assistance."
Regardless of whether the quality of the reinforcements improves, their quantity must be double what we previously agreed upon. The support from one city may not be enough; we need to seek sponsorship from more distant areas.
