Chapter 183: Republic Awakening Era DLC (6.4k Two-in-One)
Fang Ming's attitude was firm, and the housekeeper couldn't stop him.
He could only first contact the quick flight and then think of a way to persuade him.
But unexpectedly, during the time he went to contact them.
Fang Ming had already instructed the servants to pack all the valuables at home. By the time the housekeeper returned, he saw Fang Ming holding two suitcases.
He didn't want to wait for a moment longer.
The housekeeper, seeing there was no way, could only make arrangements for the mansion.
Then followed Fang Ming to the port.
It wasn't just like this for Fang Ming; also in other livestream rooms.
Players wanting to go to the 'Republic' would be obstructed by the NPCs around them, but after all, it's a player-centered game, so the players would basically win out.
They all used their own methods to head to the 'Republic'.
Many servant NPCs, feeling uneasy, chose to follow.
Seeing that this approach was feasible.
Many players imitated this, so the players originally starting from various locations on the European Continent, entered the game and immediately began selling off their assets.
Ignoring the odd looks from others branding them wastrels.
They took all their possessions to the 'Republic'.
However, the journey was very long after all; according to the transportation capacity in 1915, it would take a fast ship from the Great British Empire at least a month.
Although two or three days have passed, no players or streamers have reached the 'Republic'.
But the streamers also didn't stop broadcasting, skipping through various storylines every day.
After a few days of fermenting, Polestar Company had clearly noticed this issue as well.
When the staff reported it to Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming simply replied, 'Got it, don't worry about it.'
Seeing this, the employees within the company stopped asking and instead used generic responses to reply to the players.
Polestar Company.
Inside the president's office.
Zhao Ming was sitting at the desk, leaning back in the executive chair, with several different sections marked with different names in the virtual projection in front of him.
Shen Qinghan stood beside Zhao Ming.
Perhaps finding her high heels tiring, she directly sat on the armrest of Zhao Ming's executive chair.
Zhao Ming only felt the chair tilt. Turning his head to speak, but seeing Shen Qinghan focused with her arms crossed, he dropped it.
Shen Qinghan looked at those projections and said:
"Are these the subsequent DLCs?"
Zhao Ming nodded and said:
"That's right."
In front were four virtual projection icons:
"World War I: Twilight of the Empire"
"World War I: Awakening Era" DLC
"World War II: Empire's Rise"
"World War II: National Liberation" DLC
"World War II: Cold War Clouds" DLC
The Awakening Era DLC was completed in the past two days.
And the "National Liberation" is merely a temporary plan, as the game needs to follow the timeline.
Currently, the storyline for "World War I" hasn't reached the start of World War II in 1939, so "National Liberation" won't be launched for the time being.
However, the "Awakening Era" needs to be launched in these few days.
After all, Zhao Ming could also monitor the progress in the game in real-time.
The fastest player would arrive at the 'Republic' port in another two days.
Zhao Ming raised his hand and clicked on the icon for the "World War I: Awakening Era" DLC.
A series of [Republic] timelines popped up below.
[Establishment of the Xingzhonghui] [Sino-Japanese War]... [May Fourth Movement] [Northern Expedition War]... [July 7th Incident] [Battle of Songhu], and so it goes on until the end in 1939.
The timeline displayed various events from 1890 to the start of World War II in 1939.
This had all been refined over the past two days.
Although playing normally would also trigger events, there wouldn't be any CG or hints, after all, the main body is the "World War I: Twilight of the Empire".
The DLC needs to be updated for that to happen.
Shen Qinghan looked at the timeline, nodded, and then said:
"What are the card sets below?"
Shen Qinghan's gaze moved to the card sets below the "World War I: Awakening Era" DLC icon. Zhao Ming raised his hand to open them, and the cards spread out.
Each was marked with a time, but all were in dark gray, obviously not activated.
Zhao Ming clicked on the card marked [Establishment of the Xingzhonghui], there were only five words, even no content summary:
"This is a plot card."
"Once players engage with plot characters related to the timeline, they will obtain the plot card."
"Once activated, it will showcase a complete plot introduction."
"And participate in experiencing the plot."
As he spoke, Zhao Ming clicked on [Establishment of the Xingzhonghui], letting the photonic supercomputer assistant display its activated appearance.
As the plot card lit up, a complete introduction appeared, and at the center of the card, a middle-aged man dressed in a stand-collar, single-breasted five-button coat with a deep gaze appeared.
[Establishment of the Xingzhonghui]
[This was a crucial turning point in the modern revolution of the Republic, igniting the first fire to overthrow the decadent Qing government.]
[In 1894, Sun Yat-sen established the Xingzhonghui in Honolulu, proposing a revolutionary program of "expel the barbarian, restore China, and establish a united government," with the first batch of members numbering only over 20.]
[The establishment of the Xingzhonghui brought revolutionary ideas from secret societies to open struggles, laying the foundation for the later Tongmenghui and eventually leading to the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution.]
[Note: Under the pursuit of the Qing court spies, secretly connect with comrades, expand membership, raise funds, and successfully plan an anti-Qing uprising, survive for more than 3 months.]
[Conditions met: 0/3 (months)]
[Note: The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!]
