Chapter 143 142.Lord Murphy doesn’t want your money, he only wants your livers
The player leaves Transylvania at the 55th minute of the 47th hour.
In the midnight chamber below the Blood Vulture Cloisters, Murphy was waiting quietly in the darkness, with his own small group of players lying on the sixty tables in front of him, and ten empty seats waiting for newcomers to descend.
These 10 slots were the manpower fed back to Murphy from the 1800+ people rescued from below the Blood Vulture’s Cloister, with another hundred or so leaving in the wake, so it’s exact total feedback was 16 test slots.
But releasing a number like 16 sounded immodest, so Murphy left 6 in his hand, intending to wait for the next wave of feedback to be released together.
The vampire lord waited patiently.
He stroked his core jewel in the darkness constantly weaving and modifying the content of the upcoming quests, this was something he had already done very well, it was the same as cheating, at first you would be embarrassed and suffer from a guilty conscience, but if you were smooth enough, you could quickly play it into an art.
At the moment when the countdown to the major version update ended, Murphy took a deep breath and cast the summoning spell again.
His pool of psychic energy was already large enough, and some of its potential had been unleashed, to complete the summoning of all the players in one go, but of course, it would be tiring! It was like the feeling of having your waist emptied at the end of the wonderful process of rewarding yourself.
The veteran players no longer needed Murphy’s summons when they had already bound their archive points.
But not new players.
All new players must be summoned by Murphy himself the first time they log in, like some weird “authentication ceremony”.
Luckily, Murphy is a vampire.
In the many traditions of their race, they’ve always valued rituals.
Bouncing dots of psychic light weaved the forms of the ten new players in the darkness, while the old players rose from their lying places as if they were waking up from a nap.
Not everyone is online, there are always people who have to work to make a living, but Murphy believes that in the “new version” of the opening of today, they will not miss this novel experience.
Beside Maxim is not the first time to see the master’s power, but this time he finally could not help but spit out:
“For the record, master, I don’t have any opinion on your vision of selecting warriors, and I won’t treat warriors differently just because of their gender. But this male to female ratio is also a bit too disparate, isn’t it?
There are only four ladies out of the 70 warriors so far”
“Do you think I want to?”
Murphy spat back in reply:
“But in my world of warriors, women are still far less eager for adventure than men, but you have to admit that the four female warriors we have now are really unique in their own way.”
“Yes, I won’t deny that, their courage and strength is nothing like that of the men.”
Maxim nodded:
“I have already determined that I will divide the knight title in my hand among your.”
“It is good for you to determine these things for yourself, they are your knights and you are their lord, you will manage them well, and you will be the one to take the fall if anything goes wrong.”
Murphy waved his hand and said:
“I don’t care nor do I care, please be discreet and preferably a little more ceremonial. You know, they all like ceremony, the more people watching the ceremony the happier they are, and the more ladies among those watching the ceremony the more excited they are.
Actually it’s not just them either, it’s basically the same for men.”
“Uh-huh.”
Maxim responded and stopped answering.
The players’ side was naturally already light on their feet, and they all got up and greeted each other, with the cooing chickens taking out their prepared charcoal pencils, ready to draw something on the face of the Chosen Fighting Gray next to them, who was huffing and puffing.
But unfortunately every table here is protected by psychic energy, making it impossible for Goo Goo Chicken to complete his prank.
“Ah, the setting of this safe zone is really too bad!”
Goo Goo Chicken spat:
“I was planning on spending a little turtle on some unlucky person’s face.”
“But you know it’s necessary.”
The cow next to him stretched and bristled:
“If we can just touch the bodies of downline players, my oldest sister and the other three sisters will be in danger.”
“Shit! Who would do that kind of disgusting thing!”
Cuckoo Chicken retorted:
“No one’s going to do that now that all 60 of us know each other, right?”
“Of course not now with so few people, but what about later when there are more people?”
Brother Woo Meow moved his neck and interjected:
“Who knows if there will be perverts or something mixed in later? At that time, if something really goes wrong, even if there’s a punishment mechanism, it’s useless, and this kind of vicious incident might even bring the whole game to an end. The best way to not let rat shit spoil your soup is to cover your soup pot from the start.”
“That’s why the development team has already thought of this, using the invitation system instead of just handing out test codes, so that the people who come in can at least be guaranteed to have a lower moral limit.”
Badger said as he walked briskly towards Lord Murphy, who was waiting for them at the entrance of the chamber:
“And we’re all spirits now, right? There’s no such function at all! In other words, all of our little bulls already belong to the development team. Shit, that sounds so sick.”
“You can trust me, with the nature of this game, there will definitely be relevant content in the future!”
Electronic Phantom Old Quill was still griping about the R18 level content.
He firmly believed that the future was bright and the road was winding, one day he would get what he wanted in this 100% anthropomorphic game, yes, who wouldn’t want a paper man elf wife who could move by herself?
Those of them quickly arrived in front of Murphy’s eyes, while the mainline NPC looked at them with an expectant gaze.
A few people from the student party looked at me and I looked at you, and finally the lead Big Dove stepped forward and said to Lord Murphy on behalf of everyone:
“We have considered it, honorable Lord Murphy, we are willing to join the Blood Vulture Clan to become your heirs!”
“Good! Very well!”
Murphy nodded his head in satisfaction and looked at Brother Woo Meow’s group again.
Brother Woo Meow sighed and touched the verdant grass ring on his head rather irritably as he said regretfully:
“I’m sorry, Lord Murphy, we’ve given it some thought, and we really want to be children of the night like you, but we can’t give up the blessings of the day and the blazing sun. But we will still serve you with all our heart!
That will never change!
You tell us to go east, we will never look west!”
“It’s okay, you have stepped onto the path that Avalon watches, and that bodes well for you in the ways of nature, and there is no need to apologize for that when my domain is in need of people of your caliber.” Murphy waved his hand magnanimously as he reassured:
“As I have already said, in my heart, you are already my friends. However, even between friends, the process that should be followed still cannot be skipped.”
The vampire lord looked at the small players in front of him.
These guys were the first batch of veteran players to enter the game, and their character levels and skill levels had already reached level 10 during the process of raiding the Blood Vulture Cloister.
This meant that this group of small players had already reached the upper echelons of skill and power mastery in the realm of professionals.
They could also continue to polish their powers.
However, for the players who were fighting for every second, this was already the best moment to perform the Black Iron Trial, and Murphy was in desperate need of the major forces under his command to complete their power breakthroughs.
According to Murphy’s optimistic projections, in at most one week, he would have more than 20 Black Iron ranked warriors!
And after a month, this number might break through 70!
This number might not be a big deal for a force at the level of the White Oak Warrior Regiment or the Pioneer Legion, but for the current Transylvania region, it was an unmitigated blow.
It should be realized that even in the Blood Vulture Clan’s heyday of more than 30,000 people, the number of Black Iron ranked vampires had never been able to break through half.
This was true of any world’s power system.
Being powerful meant rarity, and while the vast majority of ordinary people would have a hard time truly stepping into the realm of transcendent power throughout their lives, Murphy could mass produce Black Iron rank warriors, and that was where his true bottom line lay.
“My warriors, your strength and courage has been recognized by everyone, you now have to make a name for yourself through the Trial of Power! And in my current terrible territory, there is a lack of everything but dangerous things that can be challenged by you.
So as you rejoin your second home, I shall give you a new mission.”
As Murphy’s standard NPC quest-giving language was uttered, all the players in the Midnight Chamber who had reached level 10 received their new quests at the same time:
[Trial of Power-‘Black Iron Body’ has been triggered!
Quest name: Stepping into the realm of the inhuman!
Quest Goal: Challenge Black Iron rank enemies alone until their individual potential is unlocked and released, or challenge Black Iron rank elite creatures X1 alone to prove their strength, skill and will!
Mission Reward: Rank advancement, attribute enhancement, character level cap unlocked to 20, advanced profession transfer opened.
Tips!
The Black Iron Trial challenge cannot have assistance from any friendly targets while it is in progress, and must be completed alone after the battle has begun; any outside intervention will result in failure of the challenge.
Tip!
If you choose an elite creature as your trial target in the Black Iron Trial, you will receive an additional trial reward if you bring back the target emblem and hand it over to Baron Lime upon success.
Tip!
The Black Iron ranked elite creatures are extremely dangerous to challenge!
Only those who have reached an extremely high level of understanding of their profession and power control will be able to succeed in the challenge, so please cherish your life once every three days and do not attempt it hastily].
“Ha, finally I can upgrade in the true sense of the word!”
Happy Stick in the crowd cheered.
He felt good about everything about this game, except that he wasn’t too thrilled with the leveling mechanic.
Levels 1-10 didn’t have any attribute boosts and were purely for looking good.
Of course spiteful as he was, Happy Stick knew that his combat power at level 10 was definitely several times that of level 1. It wasn’t so much about level suppression, but level 10 players had already blown away newbie rookies in terms of skill, will to fight and combat experience.
So it was still useful for people to arrange this leveling mechanism.
At least it can be seen at a glance the player’s control of their own strength at each power level, if you have to compare it, it is similar to the concept of “character training” in the development game.
“My warriors, there are still many dangers to face in the territory we’ve built together, but I can offer you a little advice for your Black Iron Trials.”
Seeing that the rowdy little players were giddy and ready to go out and fight monsters, Murphy stopped them and said to them:
“The reconstruction of the outer city is about to begin, however, the ghouls entrenched in the city’s sewers have become a serious safety hazard, and warriors who aspire to protect the citizens by cleaning up the evil spirits of the darkness can report to Baron Lim.
He will direct you to enter the sewers through several entrances marked out by the Cardassian Self-Rescue Army to eradicate the evil creatures.
But be sure to stay safe!
My scouts report that individual ghouls of the Black Iron rank have already appeared in the sewers, and there are some head elites among them.
If you have any distaste for the sewers and are eager to challenge a real threat, then I suggest you go forth and seek out my intelligence officer, Mrs. Adele.
She has some hidden troubles there as well that require your assistance.
Finally, the Scarlet Consul, Duchess Miriam, is planning to reclaim the deserted villages near the Scarlet Castle and send people to other villages to proclaim the lord’s authority, in which you may also participate.
If you are inexperienced in battle, you may wish to take the cloister steps to the deserted inner city above. The psionic shadow of the mysterious Starworld Tron looms over the area, and Archduchess Tris is justly recruiting warriors to go forth and cleanse that side of the despairing derivatives, as well as the rather challenging beasts of the Starworld.
But whichever option you choose, you will be contributing to the development of Count Cadman’s domain!
I will keep it in mind, and will send my Quartermaster to prepare rewards for your loyalty, and as you have also been blessed by the Mother of Night to be able to stay more in this side of the world, I am confident that you will be able to make even more remarkable contributions to our common cause in this great rebuilding.”
“Ding ding ding ding ding ding.”
With every word Murphy said, the players’ character interfaces were going to ring once, watching the small players look at each other in disbelief.
Good lord, this new version is just exciting is different.
In the past, the quests that needed to be found on their own, right now, as soon as they went online, they were given five directly by the mainline NPC!
Trials of Strength – Black Iron Body, Underground Shadows of the Scarlet Fortress, Secret Errands of the Baroness of the Spectre, Scarlet Consul’s Authoritative Patrol, and Mysteries of the Star Realm – Chapter 2, five quests with different starting branches clearly pointing to four different plot directions and a player strength enhancement chapter.
And that’s just not counting the first chapter of the main quest that hasn’t been triggered yet.
“Damn, I said I could definitely have a good time with the extra 8 hours of gameplay, so many quests, where will I get so much liver to dedicate to my dear otherworldly world? This development team really doesn’t have good intentions, does it?
I knew it, they must have given such a great convenience not just to enhance the player’s gaming experience! Blanch! It always feels like I’m being set up ah.”
Meow Shark gave a strange cry at once.
The crowd then let out quick laughter, filling the air with joy. However, how could a player mind fewer quests? The more of this stuff the better, the more the merrier! Brothers.
Offer up your livers for this wonderful otherworld.
