Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1142: Officially Begins

Early the next morning, as Gu Xi opened his eyes after queuing at the barracks half the night, he discovered that the queue behind the registration area had already grown to an unknown length.

Looking down from Gu Xi’s position, the foot of the mountain was already crowded with players waiting in line.

It seems that the news spread out last night; those independent players without guilds from Ancestor City rushed to this side.

As for the major guilds, they should have corresponding teleportation gates to get here.

They don’t need to come through the barracks route and squeeze in with the independent players.

Even so, the number of players below has somewhat surpassed the usual count.

Not to mention, the queue is almost winding around the foot of the mountain three times.

Looking at the number of people present, it’s no less than sixty or seventy thousand.

Where did these people come from?

"Haha, surprised?"

While Gu Xi was observing the situation below, a player beside him spoke to Gu Xi.

This player had a face full of a big beard, wearing animal skins indicating he’s from an outdoor adventure class.

Though Gu Xi wasn’t familiar with this type of class and didn’t know what profession this uncle belonged to.

The only thing Gu Xi knew was that this uncle’s surname was Wang.

Last night, while all the players were eager and restless, wanting to run out to drink and party, he was one of the first to queue up here and wait for the doors to open.

Even when players above were bustling on Barracks Mountain, he merely watched with a smile and didn’t join in.

When Gu Xi came over to queue early, he glanced at Gu Xi unexpectedly, and eventually, they exchanged queueing experience.

If it wasn’t for Brother Wang’s guidance, Gu Xi might have stood at the registration door all night, unlike now where he not only secured a spot but had a good sleep too.

"Indeed, I never expected there to be so many people."

"This isn’t much, haha, this is just about one-third of the lone wolfs here.

Tomorrow and the day after, there will be more.

Moreover, you haven’t considered those who have already joined various guilds and players from different cities coming in groups.

Adding them all up, there might be a million people.

This is still because many haven’t made it here.

Some people will suffer a big loss this time.

Those people thought they’d come when Creation was about to begin.

But faced with such a situation, they won’t make it for the first phase."

At this moment, Gu Xi casually added, "I heard someone went to the Library yesterday to recruit people for preparation to go to the Outer City District; I wonder if they got there?"

"You heard about it too; they went there around six in the afternoon yesterday.

They haven’t returned yet; their numbers are few, so the impact isn’t large.

Rather, those without information, still waiting in the cities or the three major cities, have quite a number.

Those not arrived, at least over four million.

Even if they know now, they can’t get here in a short time.

After all, Ancestor City’s transport power is insufficient."

The player surnamed Wang said while laughing.

This is indeed good news.

Creation’s delay was due to Ancestor City’s transport power being insufficient and players moving here slowly, wasn’t it?

Now, Creation is temporarily advanced.

Those yet to arrive won’t be able to participate in the first phase.

If unlucky, they might even miss the first battle.

This truly is fate.

If the opportunity isn’t meant for them, even knowing about it is useless.

Seeing Old King laugh like this, Gu Xi also understood his thoughts.

Though he didn’t intend to gloat, a slight smile appeared on his face.

Commencing Creation with a manpower shortage is most advantageous for scatter and lone wolf players.

In such circumstances, scattered and lone wolf players can receive more tasks.

If they dare to fight, they will receive more rewards.

And for scattered and lone wolf players, rewards are fundamental.

They don’t need to submit everything like guild players.

Everything they earn is theirs.

Even if they’re unusable, they can trade them for resources to enhance themselves.

Thus, they can quickly improve and stand out faster than guild players.

They have more than lucked out; this is the guilds overturning.

If they don’t seize such an opportunity, then they might as well give up.

As Gu Xi and Old King chatted, a player service member emerged from the registration area.

"Everyone can move forward now, first hold your identification proof, queue up and move faster, don’t stop in the middle, there are many more behind.

If you stop for one second, others stop for one second, and time just goes like that."

The service member spoke while guiding people forward into the registration area.

Upon entering the registration area again, Gu Xi noticed a change here.

Previously, this was just a not-so-large small room.

But this time, when Gu Xi entered, he saw it had transformed into a gigantic space.

A large number of notebooks recording information flew in this space, stacked up to the point of nearly becoming a notebook cloud.

Gu Xi recognized it immediately; these were the notebooks used for registration when he first reported here.

As Gu Xi moved forward, a notebook flew out from the notebooks in the sky.

Gu Xi instantly reacted; this notebook recorded his information.

So he immediately took out his identification proof and raised it toward the sky.

Then before Gu Xi knew it, a silver tunnel appeared before him.

Without needing to ask, he stepped onto it.

A strong pull dragged Gu Xi outward.

Gu Xi didn’t resist this power; instead, he relaxed and let it pull him along.

While being tugged outward, Gu Xi just felt the power growing stronger, accompanied by a squeezing sensation around him.

Though it caused him no harm, it was quite uncomfortable.

Especially the silver light ahead kept Gu Xi from seeing his surroundings clearly.

He wanted to close his eyes but found them seemingly unmovable.

This sensation was quite unpleasant for Gu Xi.

If not knowing teleportation was underway, he would’ve considered opening Yalidu City’s gate to escape directly.

Fortunately, this situation didn’t last long.

Just when Gu Xi couldn’t bear it anymore, his front loosened, and he realized he’d arrived in a relatively special space.

Upon entering this space, Gu Xi noticed a golden semi-transparent bridge leading directly into the void.
