Divine King: The data statistics and Warband model received positive reviews. Although the Perception of the Eagle-Headed Demon allows me to meticulously observe each player’s situation, the increase in team members sometimes leads to oversight. This data statistic enables me to check the condition of different teams’ players in real-time. It’s clearly evident who is slacking off. This update is truly a nightmare for lazy players.
As players on the forum heatedly discuss the update, Qi Sheng also begins a new round of recruitment.
This time, the recruitment targets not only Human Clan players but also previously selected Alien Race players.
This is a city of the Alien Race, surrounded by the azure sea.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the sea breeze, carrying a hint of saltiness, gently brushes across the neatly arranged fish houses and colorfully patched sailboats. The city’s outline appears exceptionally soft under the sunset, with the glow of the sky reflecting off the sparkling sea surface.
At the city center stands a towering lighthouse, which not only serves as a beacon for navigators but also symbolizes Fish Harbor City.
Beneath the lighthouse lies a bustling fish market, filled with a wide array of seafood. Among them are non-native marine Life cultivated by the Alien Race.
Vendors shout loudly, and buyers carefully select their purchases, filling the air with the smell of seafood.
Following the winding coastline forward, multiple piers lined up neatly lead into the sea.
Many Alien Race Life forms use these piers to enter the ocean, starting their busy day.
The core races of this city are the Gills Fish Clan and the Abyss Fish Clan, both possessing humanoid forms, hence are also called Gill Fishman and Abyss Fishman.
In appearance, the Gill Fishman have pale blue skin, similar in color to seawater, with three gill slits on each side of their cheeks. Their upper bodies are exceptionally robust, while their lower limbs are relatively short.
Abyss Fishman also have humanoid bodies, slender figures, and are covered in dark blue scales. They have delicate gill slits near their temples.
These gills open and close with respiration, and their fingers and toes are connected by webbed membranes, allowing them to increase their contact area with water, thus helping them move more effectively in the water and providing additional propulsion.
As forces that arrived on Earth later, the Gill Fishman and Abyss Fishman do not have an easy survival environment.
Although both have joined the Earth Alliance, they receive no special treatment, only some technological support from the Moon Eclipse Clan and a small city adjacent to the sea granted by the Human Clan.
The total population of both races combined is less than 800,000, making them one of the smallest power factions within the Earth Alliance.
Upon their arrival, the Earth’s environment appeared very harsh to both races.
In their Hometown World, the air was rich with Energy matter, and the seas had abundant food resources.
After arriving on Earth, they found the taste of the marine life unpalatable.
The poor air quality even showed signs of degenerating their Life structures.
Lacking the Moon Eclipse Clan’s capability to construct independent spaces on the Moon, they are unable to find suitable living conditions here.
But being able to come to Earth was already a stroke of luck among misfortune.
After two generations, both races have gradually adapted to life on Earth.
However, for the newer generation, the bountiful seas and delicious marine food described by the older generation only exist in history books, never experienced or tasted by them.
The primary income for both races comes from exporting shallow-water cultured marine life.
However, the profits from this have been decreasing over the years, linked to ocean pollution and the consequent reduced demand for marine produce by various races.
In recent years, the newer generation of both races has begun exploring new domains for revenue.
That domain is the Star Network.
Since the advent of the interconnected era of Star Network, both races have been able to learn about the outside world through the Star Network, undergoing significant cultural shocks, learning how to use internet terminology, and starting to earn additional income through the Star Network.
Live streaming content such as sea harvesting, underwater adventures, and marine cultivation has become popular options for the new generation to earn income.
However, compared to live streaming, games provide even more substantial profits.
Earning foreign currency income by playing games and providing services to other races.
Both races do not have their currency internally, and the lack of population and land makes it difficult for them to form a complete supply and demand market internally; they need to import resources frequently, so Earth coins were adopted as the main currency early on.
Two months ago, the official launch of the Dark Land made both races realize that a new era’s opportunity had arrived.
For this reason, both races prepared in advance, planning to purchase spots on the game’s release day to enter the game and develop early.
However, reality dealt them a harsh blow.
Firstly, in terms of pricing, each game qualification required expenditures of 100 Earth coins, which when converted to the primary currency of the "Human Clan," amounted to 100,000 credit points.
They internally priced it at no less than 100 Earth coins
This was a price unaffordable for ordinary members of both races.
More importantly, the Moon Eclipse Clan’s first round of game qualifications only went to the top ten Strong Clans of the Earth Alliance.
The Gill Fishman and Abyss Fishman did not even have the opportunity to apply for game qualifications.
This led to widespread lamentation within the races.
Many younger members of the races were awaiting the opportunity of a new era, only to find that the Moon Eclipse Clan did not even offer them the basic qualifications to enter the game, a clear case of racial discrimination.
But they had no way to solve this problem.
Diplomatic communications with the Moon Eclipse Clan were ineffective as the entire Moon Eclipse Clan operated according to the requirements set by the Star Network.
In the eyes of the Star Network, the importance of the Gill Fishman and Abyss Fishman is far inferior to the Human Clan and other Alien Race powers, and the support offered is also much less than for these races.
