In the forum, there are discussions everywhere about the new expansion pack "A Hundred Schools of Thought" and the three new professions: Mo, Farmer, and Taoist.

He Ao, who had wasted some time on the two exclusive pages of Taoism and Mohism, found that he could no longer eat hot food.

The screen was filled with heated discussions, and He Ao couldn't even get a word in.

"Are these people crazy? They even snatch strategy posts from the forum?"

He Ao feels that today's players are really too complacent, not only in the game but also in the forums.

Can't you just lie down for a while, why are you so competitive?

He Ao felt that everyone was so competitive because of the forum's reward mechanism.

Since the day the forum was established, there have been sign-in funds, posting reward funds and hot post reward funds.

The first is the sign-in fund. If you complete full attendance sign-in every month, you can get a guaranteed income of 50 yuan. He Ao doesn't know how much money the game company "Bai Jia Zhu Dao" can make, but when he thinks of "Bai Jia Zhu Dao"'s generous gift of a holographic game cabin, He Ao doesn't mind giving 50 yuan to players every month.

In addition to the sign-in fund, there is also a posting reward fund and a hot post reward fund. The posting reward fund is exactly the same as the sign-in fund. As long as you insist on posting a post every day, you can also earn 50 per month.

In other words, if players spend 30 seconds every day logging into the forum, signing in and posting, they can get a 100 RMB reward fund in a month.

Although this money is not much, it is almost given to the players. After all, except for the "Baijia Zhudao" forum, how could other game forums give you real money?
It's already good enough to give you some in-game rewards.

The sign-in fund and posting reward fund are small amounts compared to other money. In order to encourage players to post on the forum, the official has set up a hot post reward fund.

This hot post reward fund pool has an amount of 100,000 yuan every month, which is used to reward the hottest posts every three days.

He Ao was not quite sure what the criteria for judging posts were, but malicious posts and water posts like "Experience +3" were not counted. Only posts that were the source of truly heated discussions would receive the hot post reward fund.

As the forum king, He Ao, who is always active in the forum, has received six hot post reward funds and earned a total of less than 9000 yuan.

This nine thousand yuan is pure extra income, which He Ao earned from posting on the forum besides playing games. Since the number of players of the game "Bai Jia Zhu Dao" increased and the competition among players became more and more intense, it became increasingly difficult to make money.

"Everyone is discussing the three new professions, and there are also discussions. I should open up another track that no one is interested in."

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, He Ao racked his brains to think of a new track.

Volume is a normal state.

There is no one who is not involved in the Yanlong Kingdom.

Exam papers, part-time job papers, even online articles, short videos, playing games together and even technicians are all very difficult.

He Ao vaguely remembered that when he was watching the fighters, not only did some people open up a track to compete with dogs for food, but there were also countless scenes of the natural Mamba holy body with shaved heads competing with the Yao Ming holy body.

Now, with more players, He Ao has to open up new tracks and roll up.

Not to mention other nonsense, he is so arrogant and wants to earn this hot post reward fund.

Looking at the various posts popping up on the forum and the familiar players speaking enthusiastically, He Ao's mind seemed to flash with lightning. He snapped his fingers suddenly and had a new idea.

“It’s been nearly half a year since the closed beta test of “The Hundred Schools of Pursuit”. Why not take advantage of the second expansion pack to meet up with old friends you’ve known for half a year?”

“Anyway, the northern border has been covered in snow recently, and the barbarians basically don’t leave the city. Apart from the daily tasks, there is nothing else for everyone to do in the game.

Moreover, the missions of the profession [Soldier] were rarely suspended, and players were specifically asked to reduce going out.

After all, in the northern border where the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero, there are really no barbarians willing to come out and move around.”

He Ao thought that this was feasible. It would only take one or two days for everyone to get together offline. The version update in three days would take one day, so the players only needed to spare one day, which was enough time for them to get together!

Given the current level of boredom in the game, missing a day really doesn't matter.

He Ao did what he said and quickly posted a message to plan an offline gathering.

"My fellow tyrants and beauties, the closed beta of Baijia Zhudao has been going on for almost half a year. Most of us have known each other for more than three months, and some have even known each other for almost half a year.

Meeting is fate. We have known each other for such a long time. How about we have an offline gathering? The second expansion pack is about to be updated. The update takes one day. In addition, the heavy snow in recent days has completely frozen the northern border. It is a bit boring in the game. How about we take this opportunity to get together?"

"Friends who have ideas, please leave a message under my post and paste your address. The deadline is tomorrow afternoon at 18:00. I will count the number of responses and then reply to everyone one by one."

"@I don't eat beef, @Please call me Uncle Meow, @Zhu Jianqiang, @Shuishuishuishuishui, @Zhang's eldest son wants revenge."

He Ao quickly published this post and started to @ people crazily under the post. As an old player in the first test, He Ao still had some face. Whether it was Niu Bu, Yileimiao and others, after being @ed by He Ao, they immediately appeared under He Ao's post and responded to the offline gathering.

"Offline gathering? That's a good idea, but is two days enough? After all, everyone comes from all over the world, and the time spent on the road alone is enough."

"This is quite difficult. If everyone lives in the city, it's not a big deal. It's more convenient to take the high-speed rail to go anywhere. I'm afraid some brothers live in remote areas, which may not be very convenient."

"Whether you can go is one thing, whether you sign up is another. I think it's feasible, so I'll go. I'm in Shanghai, and if anyone in the same city wants to meet me, we can have a date!"

"Indeed, sign up first, let He Ao do the math, come up with a plan, and then decide whether to go or not."

"I've signed up too. We've been playing together for so long and have known each other for so long. It would be nice to get together offline!"

"Go, go, go, Brother Ao, I'm going to blow your ass!"

He Ao's proposal instantly aroused the interest of players. In other games, especially games like "Peace Elite" and "Honor of Kings", offline gatherings of players are commonplace, especially the physical gatherings between men and women. There is no telling how much gossip there is to eat.

What biochemical matrix, what threesome?
It's just too common.

Among a bunch of posts discussing new professions, the offline gathering post suddenly became a breath of fresh air, sparking active discussions among countless players. For the offline gathering post by the first-test master He Ao, all players, whether they are going or not, will check out the post. If they meet players from the same city/township/province as themselves, they naturally can't help but say hello, leave messages to get together, or even chat privately to get together.

He Ao found a new track, and this post about an offline gathering instantly surpassed all the posts discussing careers and became the hottest post at the moment, without a doubt.

"No matter how strong He Ao is, he can contribute a lot to the emotional value!"

"The sentiment value generated by a post about offline player gatherings is greater than the sentiment value generated by many posts discussing new professions combined!"

"This guy is really good, we need to give him more hot post reward funds!"

At Chu Zhongxing, there is only one criterion for judging hot posts, which is to see whose posts contribute more emotional value.

Chu Zhongxing doesn’t care whether you post spam or not. As long as your post contributes a lot of emotional value, it will be a hot post.

Seeing the endless stream of emotion values ​​being generated from the forum, Chu Zhongxing was overjoyed. With the current rate of providing emotion values, it wouldn't be long before he could upgrade the Tongtian Divine Tree again.

Every time the Tongtian Divine Tree is upgraded, the energy value required will increase dramatically, but correspondingly, as the number of players increases, the emotion value they provide also increases dramatically.

When both sides are growing rapidly, the upgrade speed of Tongtian Divine Tree is almost the same, and it takes about one level per month on average.

"It's time to add a little more money to the forum hot post fund."

"The handling fees collected by [Babao Pavilion] from players have accumulated to more than 200 million. This money is just a bunch of waste paper to me. It would be better to let the players roll it up and contribute more emotional points to me."

[Baobao Pavilion] is currently the only channel for making money in "Bai Jia Zhu Dao". In "Bai Jia Zhu Dao", no matter whether it is the [Emperor Business Mandarin] or [Resurrection Coin] in the game mall, they are actually not profitable.

[Emperor Merchant Official Language] Even though the price is very expensive, due to the existence of discount coupons, many players only get a 0.1% discount, so the profit is very little.

As for the resurrection coins. Haha, players can get one or two for free a day. Basically, except for Niu Bu and Yile Miao, other players have hardly ever bought resurrection coins.

"Waiter, from Rongcheng, quite close to me."

"Meow Meow is from the Magic City, not too far from me."

"King Zhuge is from Longcheng, which is quite far from me."

"Zhang Xiaoti actually refused to come and attend this offline gathering?"

"Zhu Chongsheng isn't coming either? That's really not nice of you!"

"Zheng Sanshui is from Chang'an, which is a great tourist city. Hey, you want to bring your son with you? If I arrange something tonight, will you let your son participate as well?"

In an apartment in the 8D Magic City, He Ao was counting the people who left comments under his posts one by one.

After the idea of ​​offline gathering was proposed, it immediately received support from the majority of Baiyou (Baijiazhudao netizens). Many players who He Ao had only met once left messages under the post, expressing their desire to participate in this gathering.

He Ao did not immediately respond to the messages from hundreds of friends, but maintained an attitude of doing some statistics first.

Statistics is actually quite troublesome, but since we have already brought it up, we have to do it nicely so that people won’t find fault with it!
He Ao started to count the registrations of 18 friends from 00:2000 in the afternoon. It took him more than two hours to finally finish reading more than posts.

Although there are a lot of players who responded to the offline gathering, the number of players who actually signed up for this offline gathering is only 67.

Yes, out of nearly 600 players, only a little more than one-tenth signed up for this offline gathering. Among them, Zhang Xiaoti and Zhu Chongsheng, who had a good relationship with He Ao, both refused to attend the offline gathering.

Zhang Xiaoti’s reason was that he was busy and had no time to attend.

Zhu Chongsheng’s reason was that his home was too remote and he couldn’t attend.

"It's a shame that these two Bs won't participate."

After more than two hours of statistics, He Ao found that the players who signed up for this offline event were really from all over the country. The farthest in the north was Liao Province, and the farthest in the west was from Xinjiang. He Ao didn't know whether this player from Xinjiang would get angry or something when he participated in the offline gathering and talked about the barbarians and the Huns.

Xinjiang is too far away, and two days of flying is not enough.

"Liaoning Province is also too far away."

"On the whole, we still have to go to some cities in the mainland of Yanlong Country with convenient transportation to complete the offline gathering within two days." "From the perspective of Yanlong Country's transportation network, only cities that connect nine provinces are more suitable for this gathering."

He Ao finally decided to have an offline gathering in Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng is a thoroughfare connecting nine provinces and has convenient and developed transportation. No matter whether it is Yi Lei Miao from Magic City, Zhuge Wangye from Dragon City, or Niu Bu from his 3D Magic City, it is quite fast to go to Jiangcheng.

"I seem to remember that Zhu Chongsheng is from Jiangcheng!"

After finalizing the city for the gathering, the next step is to finalize the gathering place, gathering activities and accommodation.

And how much money each person A has.

After He Ao confirmed the offline gathering in Jiangcheng, he suddenly remembered that Zhu Chongsheng was from Jiangcheng, so he decisively chatted with Zhu Chongsheng privately in the forum.

"Old Zhu, Old Zhu!"

"Yes, what's wrong, Brother Ao?"

Zhu Chongsheng was always polite to everyone in the game, and He Ao had basically never seen him lose his temper.

"Old Zhu, I remember you are from Jiangcheng, right?"

"We are going to have our gathering in Jiangcheng this time. You are from Jiangcheng, so it would be a bit unreasonable if you don't come to the party!"

"Brother Ao, my home is too far away, I really can't go there!"

Seeing He Ao's invitation, Zhu Chongsheng was very grateful and wanted to go, but how could he attend the party with such a miserable appearance?
Although his health had gradually improved over the past four or five months due to his cheerful mood, he still could not move any part of his body except his head.

He wanted to attend this party, but he was powerless!
"Don't make so many excuses. We are all brothers. We just happen to be in your city. You can't say that the landlord invited us. At least we can have a drink together!"

"I'm already at your doorstep. If you don't come out, it would be really mean of you!"

He Ao directly began to morally blackmail Zhu Chongsheng. Seeing He Ao's persistence, Zhu Chongsheng was silent for a long time and decided to tell the truth:

"Brother Ao, let me tell you the truth."

"It's not that I won't attend the party, it's mainly because my situation is a bit special!"

"What's the special method? Are you getting married in the next two days or something?"

"It's nothing, actually. I'm just a severe paraplegic. Apart from being able to move my head, I can't feel anything else!"

"."

Silence, silence, great silence.

He Ao suddenly wanted to slap himself in the face. He really deserved to die. He really deserved to die!

He Ao looked at Zhu Chongsheng who casually said that he was severely paraplegic, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He hesitantly typed a lot of words, but deleted them all.

He really didn't know how he should respond.

"Brother Ao, please say something. I'm really fine right now. You don't have to blame yourself at all!"

"I'm sorry, bro. Um, I'm sorry."

"You are such a sissy. Why are you apologizing? I should be the one apologizing. I really want to attend your party this time, but I really can't!"

"But since you are planning to come to Jiangcheng, I can tell you about a few hotels with good food. I used to eat here often before I got into trouble!"

"River City"

For some reason, mist suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. After ending the private chat with Zhu Chongsheng, He Ao felt very uncomfortable. He really didn't expect that Zhu Chongsheng, who always called everyone "Brother Ao" in the game and was always polite and never blushed, was actually a high-level paraplegic.

At this moment, He Ao suddenly recalled the scene when Zhu Chongsheng burst into tears when he first entered the game.

"Zhu Chongsheng, Zhu Jianqiang, no wonder they have such IDs."

"Ask the other brothers for their opinions. Should we go to see Lao Zhu at the offline gathering?"

Given Zhu Chongsheng's situation, He Ao would feel bad if he didn't go to visit him in real life, so he first logged into the forum and privately chatted with the 67 players who had signed up for the offline gathering, telling them the location of the opportunity.

The location of Jiangcheng naturally filtered out a considerable number of people, and finally the number of players who decided to attend the party was 16, accounting for one fiftieth of the total number of players.

The sixteen players were basically all familiar faces, including Zhuge Wangye, Su Shan, Li Yueheng, Gui Bi, He Ao, Yi Lei Miao, Zheng Sanshui, etc. When He Ao told them about Zhu's rebirth, it immediately aroused great resonance.

“We must go see this!”

"How can I not go and see you in this situation? After all, we have known each other for more than half a year. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this time when we have time to get together and see you, and help if we can."

"Old Zhu must not have many friends if he's like this. As his friends, it would be unreasonable for us not to go and see him."

"That's settled then. See you in Jiangcheng. He Ao, find out Lao Zhu's address and we'll go visit him and see if there's anything we can do to help."

The sixteen players immediately agreed to go to Jiangcheng to visit Zhu Chongsheng, and He Ao began to chat privately with Zhu Chongsheng to ask for details, and finally got Zhu Chongsheng's detailed address.

If I were to describe Jiangcheng in one sentence, it would probably be a city full of historical heritage and modern vitality. From the Yellow Crane Tower with its golden glazed tiles to Wuhan University with its cherry blossoms, the beauty of Jiangcheng is so mesmerizing that one can’t help but linger.

In a tube-shaped building in Jiangcheng, Zhu Chongsheng leaned against the pillow, staring at a TV series above his head, feeling a little too bored.

The game "Baijia Zhudao" was shut down for maintenance and update at 8 o'clock this morning, and the update will last for 24 hours.

As a patient with severe paraplegia, Zhu Chongsheng relied on games such as "Honor of Kings" to kill time before entering "Bai Jia Zhu Dao". Now that he has experienced the smooth running and jumping in "Bai Jia Zhu Dao", Zhu Chongsheng naturally has no interest in other games.

The game "Bai Jia Zhu Dao" allows Zhu Chongsheng to be reborn, and this way of being reborn is not only about the physical aspect, but about all aspects.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but since Zhu Chongsheng started playing the game “Bai Jia Zhu Dao”, his mentality and mood have been getting better and better, his energy and spirit have been getting better and better, and even his complexion has improved a lot.

Before, Zhu Chongsheng felt that he had to use up all his energy just to eat a meal, but now, Zhu Chongsheng can even eat by himself.

Although it is a bit unsightly to eat only with the mouth, the state of mind and spirit is much better than before.

In addition, Zhu Chongsheng also earned a lot of money in "Bai Jia Zhu Dao". As a disciple of the Bingxing School, Zhu Chongsheng, who masters the Queyue battle formation, is the favorite humanoid BUFF of many players.

Before joining the [Soldier] profession, Zhu Chongsheng could earn about 4000 yuan every month, which greatly covered the family expenses.

Not to mention after joining the [Soldier] profession, the group of people who followed Niu Bu earned almost eight or nine thousand in just one week, making a huge profit.

"so boring!"

"It's even more boring to think that this boring day will continue for another 24 hours!"

Zhu Chongsheng was in a good mood and had a good attitude. He was ready to start joking. He turned off the game Honor of Kings with his mouth, asked his mother to help him put on a helmet, and decided to surf the forum.

Chatting nonsense with brothers on the forum is more interesting than playing King of Glory.

"Mom, is mom here? Please come in for a moment!"

Zhu Chongsheng shouted towards the door. After waiting for half a minute, he found that his mother did not come in.

This made Zhu Chongsheng a little confused. Normally, his mother would always be by his side to protect him. As a son, his mother gave him all her love without reservation.

"mom?"

"I guess he's busy!"

After Zhu Chongsheng looked at it again, he didn't get a response from his mother and didn't take it seriously. He could only open Honor of Kings out of boredom and decided to play another round of the Stitched Monster Da Siming. Unexpectedly, as soon as Timi sounded, a strange man opened his door and walked into his room.

This man has an ordinary appearance, but a very good body. His well-developed pectoral muscles and well-defined deltoid muscles visible to the naked eye tell Zhu Chongsheng that this guy should be a gym coach.

"you are??"

Zhu Chongsheng looked at the strange man in confusion. The strange man seemed to be very familiar with him. He came to his bedside and stared at him.

"Um, bro, where are you my mom?"

"Hahaha, Lao Zhu, you're being too reserved and polite right now!"

The strange man stretched out his hand to Zhu Chongsheng, with a hint of mist in his eyes: "Old Zhu, I am your Niu Ge, Niu Bu!"

"Niu Bu????"

Hearing that a strange man was protecting his own home, Zhu Chongsheng's face was filled with shock. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Niu Bu with an incredible look.

"Old Zhu, I'm your Ao brother, hahahaha!"

"Your sister Meow is here!"

"You bunch of idiots, why do you all call yourselves brothers and sisters? Can't you be a little more humble? Brother Zhu, your brother, King Zhuge, is here too!"

"Old Zhu, guess who I am!"

"."

People suddenly emerged from the door one after another. Looking at these strange yet familiar people, Zhu Chongsheng's eyes were filled with mist. He struggled to get up and wanted to reach out and wave to them.

No one noticed, not even Zhu Chongsheng himself, that his hand, which was hidden under the blanket, was shaking slightly. (End of this chapter)
