317 Chapter 316

in the mine area of starfall town, two warrior players leaned against the stone tablet at the only intersection leading to the town, watching the miners who had just come up from the underground in the mine cart. most of them were civilians living near starfall town. after a long period of digging, they were covered in dust.

beside the two players, there were three local overseers of starfall town. most of them were martial artists, and they were in charge of checking every miner that came up at once to see if there was any silver or even mithril.

Although most of the ores mined underground were high-content, there were still some that could directly harvest natural ores.

The extracted ore still needed to be refined, but once it was Mithril, even a small piece was still valuable.

after the resistance alliance occupied starfall town, the original mine owner was escorted to winter city and handed over to the temple for trial. At the same time, the town’s political and economic system was cleansed, and most of the key positions were occupied by players.

At this time, the few warrior players in the mine vein area were also able to come here to supervise the work, and they would receive a certain amount of remuneration every month.

“which family do you think the biggest mine vein belongs to?” the tall and thin man who had just come to change shifts asked his bored companion.

“who knows? the other ore veins have either been re-divided and given to the influential people in winter city, or taken away by those large guilds. Only the largest mine is mysterious.” another slightly chubby warrior player sighed and said, ” if only i could have some shares in these mines, i would really be able to lie on the gold coins and watch them make money on their own. ”

At this moment, a clever-looking warrior beside them said quietly, ” I heard he’s from the church of the goddess.

“That’s reasonable, but why did you hide it so mysteriously? Just based on the church’s contribution in the war, no one would say anything if they took half.” The tall and thin man said casually.

“hey, that’s strange.” Suddenly, the chubby player shouted.

” swish-” the tall and thin player was about to ask the other person, but the words could not come out of his mouth because he found that his body had become blurry.

In the entire Starfall town, countless online players were busy.

Some were bargaining with others, some were having a development meeting in the city Hall, some were packing up and preparing to go hunting, and some were waving the iron hammer in their hands to forge weapons.

At this moment, they all realized that their bodies had become blurry. Countless doubts emerged in their minds, but they could not communicate with others.

this situation was happening simultaneously in countless big towns and wilderness in arthur.

All the players received a message-

[ adventurer xxx, you are disconnected from the world of arthur. cooldown time for re-logging in: To be determined. ]

——————-

When Zhao Xu took off his helmet, he was still a little confused.

he clearly didn’t feel any impact just now, and his body didn’t have much excitement, but the line was suddenly disconnected.

Then, he tried to reconnect again, but the cooldown time was displayed, but it was still to be determined.

Zhao Xu had logged in countless times before, and the number would always be a 20-minute countdown.

such a strange situation had never happened before.

Zhao Xu heaved a sigh of relief and looked out the window at the fallen leaves that had started to fall. He then got out of bed.

However, when he turned on his phone, he found that the entire forum was filled with questions.

[ the line is disconnected? ]

[ server maintenance? ]

[ why wasn’t there any notice? [ I thought it was non-stop maintenance. ]

[ ah, i’m fighting a monster right now? [ it shouldn’t be a forced disconnection, right? ]

[ i’d like to ask, is there any compensation for the players for such an unexpected server interruption? ]

the entire server was interrupted?

Arthur wasn’t just an ordinary VR game. It was related to the future of the entire human race on earth.

especially after zhao xu found out that the earth might be destroyed in the next few years, he understood even more that the chance to travel to another world in a year’s time was hard to come by.

Even if many people would be sacrificed after the transmigration.

zhao xu couldn’t imagine what kind of accident could have caused the projection of all the humans on earth to be cut off from arthur.

in his memory from his previous life, he had never heard of arthur stopping its servers.

It would be funny if the server was closed later.

the only difference today was that he had observed the ritual that led to the earth’s universe up close.

It couldn’t be that the ritual was affected just because he was an Earthling, right?

he shouldn’t have committed a great death, right?

especially since it seemed like the research itself was a closed loop, and he had only had the chance to come into contact with it today. the last time he had come into contact with it was when antonya had told him about the secret of the meteorite shower.

At this moment, Zhao Xu logged into his QQ and the forum to keep an eye on the movements of the others.

At this moment, he saw that his QQ group chat with Wang Ningwei, asvich, and a few others had also started ringing.

the last time he was in the death god’s half-plane, after he had resurrected, he had explained his follow-up to them in the group. after that, they had rarely talked, and for a time, they felt a little unfamiliar.

Asvich,”the internet is cut off.”

Ning Wei replied,”yes, yes.”

[ zhongxia: Speaking of which, have you two been in the game the entire time? ]

asvich: ” i’m not as desperate as you. you’ve only been online for half an hour when you’re eating. if i didn’t know, i’d think you were isolated from the world. ”

zhongxia:

ning wei laughed,”hehe, asvich cares about her friends too.”

“Ashvich: I’m just afraid that he’ll die that day.” but can you guess why the internet was cut off?

The three of them weren’t idiots, so they naturally knew that there must be a deep reason behind the disconnection without any notice.

asvich thought,”it won’t be broken forever?” I feel like there’s something wrong with this game. especially after participating in the death god’s instance dungeon, i had a deeper understanding of this.

ning wei,”it’s not just a little, it’s really weird.” there are too many details that are too realistic, so asvich, you should play more games. maybe you can find out the secret of this game.

ashvich asked,”ningwei, don’t tell me you know something?”

Ning Wei replied,”how can I?”

[ zhongxia: yeah, let’s play more. We’ll risk it now and not lose out in the future. ]

But Zhao Xu had just finished typing on the keyboard and he knew that he had wasted his breath. wang ningwei was so famous among the players that she was out of the circle. it wasn’t just the mages in floating city who knew her.

The players on Mystra’s surface also knew of her existence.

On the other hand, asvich, who had also reached the level of a Level-3 wizard, was extremely secretive.

ashvich: “i don’t know. anyway, after i came out of the death demiplane, it seems that a branch of the association has been testing me. sometimes, two or three groups of people come to observe me a day.”

[zhongxia: you know? i just wanted you to know.] However, everyone who had obtained the specialty ‘iron will’ in the beginning was only treated after they had entered the assessment target.

“Asvich: do you think Arthur is a real world?”

Ning Wei thought,”if it’s true, then it’ll be interesting.”

[ zhongxia: don’t think too much. Work hard. ]

After Zhao Xu finished typing, he turned his attention back to the forum. A lot of people had indeed suspected that Arthur was a real world.

It was no wonder that every player who entered the game deeply believed that it was real. Even though they had suffered many setbacks in the game, they were still unwilling to give up.

Then, Zhao Xu cleared out all the friend requests on the forum.

Ever since he posted about Arthur’s method of sealing and destroying souls, the number of friend requests he received reached a peak.

in the past, most of the people who added him were just asking for his experience or even worshiping him. At least half of the players who joined him now were asking about how to destroy a soul.

There were even a few players who described vividly to Zhao Xu how they had been deceived by the scammers in the game. They then begged Zhao Xu to teach them a secret method so that they could go and take revenge on the scammers.

usually, when he encountered a situation like this, zhao xu would just type the name of the nine-circle soul bind spell on the keyboard.

If the other party needed it, he could even draw a simple spell structure.

in this day and age, there were too many people who wanted to take a shortcut to achieve their goal in one step.

all of a sudden, a post in the forum was highlighted and bolded at the top of the list, right in front of all the other posts.

[ dear player, Arthur will be officially shut down for 48 hours. During this period, all login activities will be invalid. ]

The person who posted the next post was the ID of the ‘Palace of life creation’ who posted the previous post that skipped the levels.

when he saw this rule, zhao xu couldn’t help but feel as if a huge weight had been lifted off his chest.

If he joined the game out of curiosity and caused the humans to be unable to connect to Arthur, he would have to apologize to the rest of the world.

the current 48 hours were the morning of the day after tomorrow, and it just happened to include the concert tomorrow night, so it didn’t delay his operation at all. it was a qualified holiday.

when he thought about this, it meant that zhao xu had nothing to do today, so he turned on the keyboard of his computer and used the forum coins that countless forum players had given him as a reward. then, he posted a question:

if you find out tomorrow that you have transmigrated to arthur as a commoner, what are you going to do?
