Chapter 198 197 Now, let’s have a new batch of victims on stage!
Chapter 198 197.Now, please welcome a new batch of victims to the stage!
Murphy, who always had a happy-go-lucky demeanor, was angry for a rare time tonight.
The reason for this is because of the small players, they are not afraid of death, but this is not a reason to actively seek death, because they have wings to run to try to jump off the cliff and the sacrifice is really meaningless.
He knew that he had to make the players realize the seriousness of this matter, so that there would not be a guy who could not tell the difference between “real” and “fake” jumping off a tall building in reality.
Then.
It wouldn’t be something that could be solved by a three-day resurrection.
Now it seems that this tester’s selection of only 66 questions is still too conservative, when he is free to adjust the questionnaire, at least to ensure that players entering the game must have a certain degree of self-control and discernment.
Miriam had already received the news that Murphy would be coming over, so when Murphy pushed the door in, she had already put on a set of outerwear over her pajamas and made herself a cup of tea.
“I know you vampires can be very spirited at night, but pardon me, my lord, we normal people have to sleep at night.”
Miriam said to Murphy with a yawn:
“Is there some important business to wake me up at this evil hour?”
“Tomorrow, seventy warriors will be recruited from the Sax region.”
Murphy threw a miniature psychic lightning bolt, or “psychic static”, at Miriam.
The throbbing scarlet static electricity made the consul quickly get rid of her sleep, and she grabbed her short hair with high spirits, but she also understood what Murphy’s “black words” meant.
The monarch is recruiting otherworldly warriors again.
And this time a one-time recruitment of 70 people! This is already the total number of otherworldly warriors that he currently has, which means that doubling the number brings advantages.
Miriam had already fully realized the outstanding effect of a group of otherworldly people who weren’t afraid of death when dealing with various special events from her position as a consul, thus Murphy’s news caused a light to float in her eyes as well.
“So, are you asking me to give you a suggestion?”
Miriam took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and said:
“Advice about recruiting these ‘Saxon Hillbillies’?”
“Right! Since you are currently in charge of the specific affairs of the territory, I want to hear your opinion, you know that these mountain folk have all sorts of characteristics.
Their outstanding talents can be used in the right way.”
Murphy rubbed his chin and said:
“For example, the four warriors you have appointed so far, they take a lot of pressure off you in terms of administration, don’t they?”
“Well, if we look at it from that perspective, then I would suggest that you summon all 70 Warriors as administrative talents this time around!”
Miriam immediately came energized.
Of course she knew it was impossible, so after calming down, she sipped her tea while saying:
“At least a quarter of them should be administrative-focused talents, it doesn’t necessarily have to be management-type, an outstanding erudite like His Excellency the Gray-Hitting Man is also something we need very much.
My lord, I am going to report to you tomorrow on the results of my work over the past period of time, not counting the city of Batasin, which has already been given to Knight Parian as a fiefdom, we have gained the allegiance of 15 villages so far.
But if we want to manage them effectively we can’t just stop at the point of ‘proclaiming’.
My idea is to send specialized people to those villages to replace the village chiefs, or simply relocate them to the vicinity of Scarlet Fortress.
Anyway, there are enough abandoned villages in the Barony of Moorland and the Barony of Lim for them to live in, or even more simply, incorporate them into the reconstruction of Scarlet Fortress.
I think everyone will have a slight sense of belonging to the city they built with their own hands.”
Speaking here, the Scarlet Consul put down her teacup, she ruffled her hair that was still fried from static electricity and said to Murphy:
“I think that these villagers are better managed than those blood servants that we are about to receive, those prisoners that will be sent back even if they are loyal to the vampires they are still soldiers and are not suitable to be placed in the current Scarlet Castle that is in disarray.
What do you think?”
“For that, I have my own arrangements.”
Murphy shook his head and said:
“In the past, the villages in Transylvania were too spread out, which seriously affected the administrative efficiency of this region, I intend to take this opportunity to re-plan all the village divisions in the Transylvania region, and gather people together to form more efficient collective farms instead of leaving them to work freely.
That kind of productivity is too low.
We now have the witch hunters, and their mastery of natural psychic energy will make the cleared farmland more fertile and allow the barley to grow better next spring.
Of course, this is a long term plan that needs to be discussed slowly by your administrative group, for now let’s just talk about tomorrow’s warrior recruitment.
Are you sure that a quarter of the administrators will be enough?”
“It’s enough for now.”
Miriam said with a nod:
“I have to put up the shelves of the territory’s ruling system first, the first step is to establish the important ruling nodes, according to Professor Malcolm’s advice, too many people as officials at this stage is rather unattractive, 15-20 administrative warriors are more than enough as an attempt to try out a new ruling model for the Scarlet Fortress as well as the nearby villages.
Since we will soon be receiving a large number of prisoners sent back from both countries, I had planned to build a few more villages in the quarry in the village of Moorland and in the logging land near the village of Lim to house them.
Since you have proposed the idea of a ‘collective farm’, perhaps it would be a good idea to start forming our new base from these armed blood servants.
You trust your warriors and their ability to work has been recognized, so I intend to hand over the management of these new villages to them.
But first you have to let your warriors get used to our side of the administrative model before they can do so, they are all solidly learned but like me once upon a time, they are severely lacking in grassroots management experience, while the remaining warriors, naturally, should still favor combat!
After all, that Grand Duchess Shani has left you a problem, while we rebuild our territory, we also need to clear out the jackal bandits that are as stubborn as a disease in this land.
In such a situation, battle professionals who are not afraid to die are a must!
However, if possible, I would like you to also recruit a few ‘learned men’ like His Excellency the Greybeard, who can serve in administrative professions as well as help our people acquire some valuable skills.
For example, the kind of reliable and durable ‘gray tents’ as well as the newer types of hand-woven items, which can be sold as specialty trade items once the trade routes are reopened.”
“Well, I’ll try my best.”
Murphy nodded.
Miriam meant to recruit some more “craftsmen”, which was an interesting proposal.
The lord quickly bid farewell to Miriam, who was completely sleepless from his visit, and opened the forum application section as he strolled through the city at night.
A full 300 applications for playtesting lay before him.
These were all elite individuals selected after Murphy’s examination of the applicants over this period of time, and the personal introduction fields of each person’s test application had their own distinctive features.
The gray man’s roommate, “Bricklayer”, had to be included, as he could help the gray man plan the new city.
The fifth member of the girl group, “Mrs. Gentle Atmosphere Water”, must also be put in, because Murphy has learned through the peep screen that Lumina has a small group of seven people, and it is full of IQ super-high talents in various industries.
From the small reed name and some outstanding performance of the orchid flowers can be seen, the group’s “gold content” is really very, very high.
There is also a small rich brother touch your poor two friends!
One is an administrative talent “live whole quite good”, and another named “cracked belly” reality occupation is also quite unique, in addition there are several often in the forum and the dump truck and shovel old brother to discuss some very “criminal There are also a couple of other guys who discuss some pretty “criminal” stuff with dirt bikes and shovels in the forums.
The production line promised by the Carpe family wasn’t expected to be sent back to Transylvania anytime soon, but Murphy had to start preparing for the takeover of the factory now. Dump trucks, shovels, and fully insured semis are all talented in this area, but they’ll need more help to quickly run the first factory in the territory as well as the weapons homegrown line.
PY Prince Badger this time, as usual, pulled a lot of friends from the same school, Murphy chose one-third of them to pass, based on his experience so far, the student party is still quite well-behaved and cohesive in this game, but also hot-blooded and simple, and the ability to learn and energy is at the peak of his life, and there is not so much utilitarianism, are highly educated and easy to empathize with the NPCs, the most important is that the willingness to accept the management is relatively strong and the order of the The most important thing is to accept the strong will to manage and have a good sense of order and are willing to pay their own efforts for the good things.
To put it simply, the ideal has not yet been worn out, this is the best small player candidates.
Last but not least, Miriam emphasized on “craftsmen”.
Unfortunately, there weren’t many talents that Murphy could choose from in this area. After all, those who had really delved deeply into a field to a certain level basically had little time to spend on playing games.
“So, shouldn’t I find a way to get some promotion on the side of the small players?”
Murphy thought in his mind as he ticked off the next batch of “victims”:
“There are 16,000 armed bloodservants that will be returned by Nordtorf and the Kingdom of Goldfinch alone, which will give back another 160 slots by then, plus more and more slots will be available as we start searching for stragglers after the jackal hunts.
Well, I suddenly felt a worry called ‘happiness’.
Hmm.
Maybe it’s time for a little ‘family silver welfare’ for my little players?
How about a ‘welcome event’?
A bonus for how many people you get into the game, and then the newcomers get more newcomers.
Uh, why is this model so much like a pyramid scheme?
Stop!
No more thinking, Murph!
Even if you’ve traveled to an alien world, you still can’t go down the path of crime!”
The Vampire Lord laughed inwardly, and after confirming one last time that all 70 of the younger players had been chosen, he used the mass-mailing function to send a notification of the opening of the playtest to the forum inboxes of the new players, and even used the forums’ own editing tools to make it look like it was happening.
Such as the acceptance letter is very ceremonial, white layout with Alpha’s watermark, and at the bottom there is the official seal and signature of the “Real Otherworld” test group.
A few minutes later, the game forums immediately set off a ghostly frenzy.
Those who had been hanging out in the forums for at least half a month waiting to get a beta test quota, “the party of gluttony” could finally get what they wished for.
A new thread was quickly opened.
The name was quite arrogantly written, “The fifth batch of Transylvanian Expedition members are here to report for duty! Starting roll call! Prepare for the expedition!
What color is loyalty: [Hahahahaha! I’m not going to be able to get a good deal on this one! The express delivery has been shown to ship ah, tomorrow morning to take the helmet ah, @ Dirt Truck Juhe @ shovel people out @ full insurance semi-trailer, old brothers wait for me to play together ah!
Brothers who got the invitation to the test, be cocky!
Come out and show me who’s playing with me! So that we can look after each other after entering the game ah].
The sharks: [What are you so proud of? Brother also won! Ha, let me see for myself what this 100% real game recommended by my cute little brother looks like! Tremble, Transylvania, here comes my martial arts genius Giant Shark!
Fried Belly: “Let’s go, let’s go, brother.
Boardloads of Happy Sticks: [The Kardman Legion is recruiting! Brothers, want to experience a fast and furious life? Want to see true male bravery? Want to find the true meaning of life in battle? Do you want to open the treasure to realize overnight wealth? The Kardashian Legion is the best choice for you!
Join now and you’ll receive a Recruit Kit!
The first batch of closed beta test veteran players and professional brother led the team, experienced in the game, participated in all the big and small battles so far and has a great record!
You’re just a few clicks away from the top of the heap!
Alpha: [@Onboard Happy Stick, the guild system isn’t open yet, don’t mislead new players, and your name doesn’t fit the game rules. To create a legion in the official name of the ‘Cadman’ region you have to go through Count Murphy’s official authorization, and you’re being careful of being arrested by Maxim’s soldiers if you call it that in the game.
Board loads of happy sticks: [Hey, hey, Fateh, don’t be so serious, I’ll change it, okay?
Oooh Meow King: [Laughs to death! Pitfalls are caught on the spot, Stick is really something. That what, our ‘big bird turn turn turn’ group also intends to recruit newbies oh, interested partners into the game private chat me].
Big Pigeon: [Shit! What the hell kind of name is that? It sounds so dirty, we ‘Red Beast Troupe’ are also recruiting, but as long as you aspire to go the vampire route of the Midnight Men.
Kuchi the Airplane Flyer: [???? Did everyone get a beta invite? Why didn’t I? Is it because my computer is broken that I can’t receive the email!]]
Border City Wanderer: [It’s a disaster! I’ve been waiting for ten days and I’m not allowed in this time? It’s my turn, isn’t it? I’ve been reading a lot of posts in the feedback section!
Mountain Devil Gangbo: [Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chosen to beat the gray man: [Uh, old brother, is there a possibility that we’re just saying ah . The more posts you make, the more work the administrators have to do to deal with them, the more extreme their opinion of you becomes, and then…]]
Border City Wanderer: [Holy shit? It can’t be! Isn’t it about testing? Isn’t game testing about giving opinions? This is clearly proof that I’m working with my heart! My sincerity is visible in the sun and the moon, so don’t misunderstand me!
Mustard micro-addict: [Laughing, brother, you’re too much, aren’t you?
Mr. Ziwei: [Why don’t you tell me your fortune? I’ll teach you, find three coins to throw and tell me the yin and yang, I’ll help you count, change the tarot cards or crystal ball can be, I’m good at everything. I’m good at all of them. Look at me, I’ve done it for myself.
I’ll get the helmet and get into the game after 10,000 rounds, at least one, okay? Isn’t that great?
Border City Wanderer: [? How come Da Xian Er also came in? Get lost, you guys! Crying.]
Bricklayer: [Dude was able to win the other day with a random fill, so dude’s the Chosen One, right?
Multi-Turret Chief Devotee: [Fatty begs for a helmet! I want to be your dog, Fat! Give me a chance, Fatty. @Alpha]
Alpha: [Don’t worry, the fact that everyone can enter the forums means that they’ve passed the test group’s selection, and the only thing limiting everyone’s access to the game right now besides the server capacity is the output of the hardware group’s side that produces the game’s hardware.
I’ve heard that they’re making production line adjustments over there in preparation for mass production.
Wait a little longer, it won’t be too long, after the production comes up, everyone in the forum can enter the game and play together].
Multi-turret chief religious: [I can go to the factory to help hit screws ah! Not that I’m bragging, I’m a screwdriver, @Alpha, Fatty, is there any way to get a back door? I really can’t play with it if I want to, give it a chance! I want to be a good guy!
Alpha: [Uh actually there’s a doorway that’s not really a backdoor, it’s because recently the test group is preparing for a big test of manufacturing classifications.
But because we’re striving for realism, we’re having a hard time finding craft workers from all walks of life.
So if you guys have similar specialties, you can fill them out on your application, which might increase the success rate, but I can’t guarantee 100% success.
This depends on the progress of the test.
Also don’t fudge it, crafting testers will have a skill test when they enter the game and if they can’t pass it . In short, don’t fudge it!
I guarantee that everyone will be able to get into the game just by being patient, and that is a promise from the devs to everyone! Don’t lose your qualification just for the sake of a whim, it’s honestly a bad deal].
Arrival: [Oh, craftsmen? Does cooking count? I have a buddy who specializes in making candy people, it’s an intangible cultural heritage here.
Alpha: [Both, the development team is very open to testers with a skill, they’re in desperate need of feedback right now, and the testing of the crafting system is honestly seriously behind schedule].
Arrival: [Tou~ Fat just watch me!
Master Broken Blade: [@Alpha, Fat, our brothers and I are considered craftsmen, but can we make our own iron in the game?]]
Hundred Forged Horses: [Nonsense, what are we doing here if we can’t make iron? @Meow King, Meow Brother, it is you who said that there is a divine weapon that we fill out the application, if not enough to be careful buddy two special trip to pout you.
Hey, watch out, here come the professionals!
