Chapter 347: 346. The Development Team Gives Benefits to Families!
Regarding whether or not to set up a slave catching team to participate in the main quest “100 days of construction” action, not only Murphy and the NPCs are waiting to see, in fact, in the discussion of this matter among the players has not been able to come to a unified conclusion.

Especially in the forums in recent days, as long as someone brings up this topic, it will trigger a wave of forces from all sides of the argument.

The “order-keeping faction” like Lumina and Mrs. Water felt that this kind of behavior was a bit too much and dangerous, but the “hawks” like the Happy Stick and the Student Party felt that this kind of thing was quite normal.

Remaining Neutrals
The “Eaters” don’t have any strong opinions, they only care about whether or not the two sides are having a good fight, and occasionally they have to come down and add more fuel to the fire.

For example, in this post titled “Population is everything, everything is for the sake of population!” For example, in this post titled “Population is everything, everything is about population!”, the two sides are staging a “battle of the dragons and tigers”.

The two sides are engaged in a “battle of the dragons and tigers”. I’ve heard that you’re going to East Prussia to do something big, so why don’t we meet near the Pathfinder Fortress?

Brave Ox is not afraid of difficulties: [Blanch! You’re going to ride face output on the Short People Marshal, it’s not enough to rob people, now you’re actually going to camp near their fortress? I’m telling you, don’t wave! Really pissed off the pioneering legion on this point of our people, people a charge will give you buried].

Ring Rush Day 1: [What are you afraid of? It’s just three days of confinement, what these assholes are doing in Xike City is the first thing we’re not used to! It’s just that Transylvania’s strength is too weak to fight back, or else I’d definitely want to be the vanguard of this group of shameless invaders.

If you can’t fight a war, then use the plague, what’s the difference between this and a small life?

Shrimp Catchers: [@More than three or five dozens of guides are ready to cross the border from the Smuggler’s Woodlands at noon today, and we’ve already assembled thirty of them! You veteran players are absolutely welcome to join me, you can wait over at Andromeda Hills, the place where you fought the Tower of the Ring last time.

I’ve scouted it out!

From there it’s a two hour walk all the way west to the border village of Goldfinch.

That village is crowded, so if we grab it and run, we’ll definitely be able to make it back to Transylvania before the Pioneer Legion’s rangers react to us].

Mr. Ziwei Da: [No need, brother, really no need, it’s dangerous over there, if I say you guys might as well follow us to the Cato region, you don’t even need to cross Lake Shulpus to find a lot of straggler villages, there’s no decent armament over there, you don’t even need to fight to harvest a lot of people.

Oh yeah!

@Electronic Phantom Old Quo, doesn’t your group happen to be missionaries for the Church of Avalon?

There are a lot of Avalonians in the Cato region, so if you guys go there and use your tongue to lure a bunch of them back, you’ll still get a lot of construction points.

Those believers are being ostracized over there, I’ve seen them living a miserable life, bringing them back to Transylvania and letting them bathe in God’s light again is considered a good deed.

Pretend not to use your hands: [Crap, this sounds very promising! Let’s discuss it first.

Lumina Yangxian: [What’s the point of discussing it? Are you really going to become slavers? That’s outrageous, people are doing just fine in their own villages and have to be dragged to Transylvania by you guys. Mostly because you don’t even look at what Transylvania is like right now, and you don’t even have a place to live when you bring people here!
You’ve brought them here without even a place to live.

Bricklayer: [Uh, Lumi-san, there’s no need to worry about a place to live, the Greybeards and I have just built a group home for the stragglers in the industrial area of the Andromeda Hills, in the area attached to Brother Loyalty’s arsenal.

It’s still something he specifically requested.

In the future, we will wait for the recruitment of workers from there, although the people of the Cato region of the stragglers are not rich, but at least many of them know the words, which can be better than the Transylvanian local Joe Yu.

Moreover, aren’t you also vigorously recruiting exiles to return home in Kavhoka?

Vikrama Swordswoman: [We’re recruiting people to come back to their roots, they’re originally from Transylvania, right? They were originally Transylvanians, right? They just fled to other places because of the war.

But you’re slavers, so there are no ships or shipping routes, and Transylvania has no plantations or whip-wielding overseers, or else the Triangular Trade would be back.

But we have jackal supervisors and never-ending construction sites controlled by a bunch of vampires, so theoretically, what’s happening in Transylvania is a lot more evil than the Triangle Trade.

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex: [Little Vikrama’s speech doesn’t make sense, that East Prussia was a border region of the Bosia Confederacy, so we’re bringing the people there back to Transylvania as a way of letting them ‘return to their roots’.

Moreover, the human development group also did not say that this can not be done ah, we just rob people and not harm people.

Most of the people we brought back from the first batch went with us of their own accord, and you didn’t even see how badly they were bullied by the assholes from the Canary Flower!
Do you know how many people cheered and applauded us after we took down that evil outpost?
If we were in ancient times, we’d be considered to be some kind of a warrior who sees injustice on the road.

Seeing the smell of gunpowder coming out, this post became even hotter.

All sorts of gods and goddesses came down to stand on the stage and argued over this issue of catching slaves, and even Mrs. Shui, who has always been atmospheric, was involved in it.

Finally or this will be in the “forced vacation”, follow the stick brother is “playing in the mountains, cultivate the sentiment” of the woo meow brother really can not stand to see, he stepped in and said:

Meow King: [What are you arguing about? Noisy people brain pain, you two sides quarrel to quarrel at all did not figure out the main contradiction in this problem. You all listen to me first, give me face, okay?
@Electronic snail will dream of bionic tree, this post is posted by you, come out to control! Anyone who continues to throw around labels and disrupt the unity of the playerbase should just fork it out.

I’m telling you, there are bad people in this forum right now, and they’re trying to encourage us to split up. If I find out who’s barking, I’m going to Gank you offline].

Woo Meow brother in the player group is still a little bit of prestige, no matter whether there are people into the game have heard of him, this time to see him said words, everyone is very face down for the time being lest to become Woo Meow brother mouth those destroy the unity of the “bad guys”.

Woo Meow King: [Now you guys are arguing about whether or not slave hunting is a good idea, whether or not it’s feasible, this is all just a symptom of the contradiction! Don’t box yourselves in.

Let me ask you, why do people want to capture slaves?

Isn’t it just to get construction points to go to the special store to exchange for things that seem very over-modeled at this stage of the game?
That aside, this ‘Hundred Days of Building’ is really just a normal event, no different than the Jackal Hunt from before.

But have you guys noticed a very important point!
The ones arguing about the population issue here right now are all combat professions, why haven’t we seen administrative professions and manufacturing players participating in this discussion?]

Master Broken Sword: [Nonsense! Dude’s blacksmith store gets one point for every ten knives it makes, and as long as the apprentices don’t get lazy, it’s a solid 10 points a day. I’m not going to play slave hunter with you guys until I’m full of food, right?

Live whole quite well: [Uh, I probably understand what Brother Woo Meow means, we administrative players in this activity as long as we can complete the registration and assignment of the stragglers within the stipulated time, there are also construction points to be gained at the end of the line every day without making any mistakes.

Especially on the side of fighting the gray people.

For every house they build, there are tons of points in the bank.

For us admin players, there are so many avenues to get construction points that there’s really no need to risk doing robberies.

But combat professionals are indeed different, they don’t have that many paths.]

King Woo Meow: [Right, that’s the core of the conflict!

Administrative professions and manufacturing players inherently have a much more advantageous position in the construction field than combat professions, and the only way for combat professionals to get the same harvest as administrative professions in this event is to help populate the territory.

Actually, I guess, I haven’t been able to enter the game in the past two days, but I’ve also analyzed this quest through other people’s descriptions.

The development team has put the solutions in the quest description.

There are still a lot of stragglers waiting to be searched and registered in the vast territory of the Xicol Territory, so I guess the development team’s intention is to let combat professionals complete this loop and open up certain nooks and crannies of the newly ruled map of the Xicol Territory, triggering more randomized events to advance the plot.

The problem, however, is that the grasslands of Xike are too big, and the stragglers are always spread out.

For players who can only rely on horseback to travel quickly, looking for them one by one in such a large place is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it’s far less convenient than venturing to the border to intercept a large swath of outsiders at once.

Therefore, it was not a moral issue that this matter had come to this.

It is purely a matter of efficiency!
A problem that can be solved in ten minutes, only a fool would waste an hour on it, am I right, guys? Touch Your Poor: [Brother Woo Meow has a point!

I also think it’s pointless to argue over this kind of thing. The stuff on the shelves in the special black market is really good, but it’s just a piece of equipment and props, so when the next version comes, won’t there be better ones to exchange? And you don’t necessarily have to have points to change.

For example, I donated 3,000 gold coins to the administration office yesterday, and then got a set of NPCs to give away…]

Sister Pomegranate pulled the willow upside down: [You shut up! Your words are not convincing at all! You’re not allowed to discuss these topics that don’t fit your class until you know the hardships of the average player’s life.

So, what Brother Woo Meow is saying is that this divergence in routes is actually a result of the development team not thinking properly when designing the mission?

King Woo Meow: [I didn’t say that, squinty-eyed grin . However, this reward setup for the Hundred Days of Great Construction does have a bit of a problem, it nerfed the gains of the combat professions too much and didn’t provide more avenues to gain construction points, and it’s precisely this reason that led to people having to take desperate measures.

Even to the point of selling out their morals as a means of doing so.]

The post was immediately in favor.

It had to be said that this analysis by Brother Woo Meow did go straight to the heart of the matter, and Murphy, who had been peering at the screen, jumped out to explain when he saw that it was about time:

Alpha: [There’s a reason for such a setup, because when the late stats of the last Jackal Hunt event were being compiled, the development team found that the gains of the combat professionals were basically several times higher than those of the administrative and manufacturing players.

The program apes felt that they had to compensate the different profession genres accordingly in order to maintain the necessary game experience, which is equivalent to them doing a sub-professional balancing.

Now, though, it seems as if their reckless attempt has gone a billion points wrong].

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex Car Car: [Crap! Fat’s been blown out!

Alpha: [Rolls his eyes, I’ve been there all along, okay?

I’ve been in every single argument you guys have sent out, I’ve just been collecting your opinions and have given the devs feedback on the issue.

They’ve realized the error in their strategy by the way some players have been playing the game the past few days, and an online update will be released soon.

However, I’m here to warn certain small players who are focused on the ‘slave catching business’.

Not to criticize your approach, as the development team has designed this gameplay to show that we are not suppressing your ‘creativity’ and efforts to try the ‘dark route’ in the game.

However, we do expect you to plan your losses and gains before taking on such risky endeavors.

For example, I can currently reveal that the ‘belligerence level’ of Marshal Loren Steelheart Frederick, the NPC administrator of the Pathfinder Fortress in East Prussia, is rising as a result of your overly-successful pillaging.

As the current pattern advances, after a maximum of two acts of slave-taking by you, the fragile peaceful relationship between Transylvania and the Pathfinder Legion will be fractured as a result.

There is even a danger of a military skirmish breaking out.

My dear little players, you don’t want to see the Scarlet Fortress that we’ve managed to repair so easily being raised by the angry Dwarf Marshal and the Sealand Manglers under his command because of your behavior, do you?”]

Arrival: [Crap!

Spicy Goo Goo Chicken: [Crap +1]

Terranova: [Crap +2! Is that how this damn game mechanic turns out to work? Sounds like a chaotic system with multiple factors working together?

In other words, as long as the Slave Trappers continue to provoke actions to keep the other side’s belligerence level rising, they can drag the whole of Transylvania into an all-out war?
This is too outrageous, isn’t it?

Banzai Happy Stick: [Outrageous? No, not outrageous at all.

Because that’s how many wars break out in the real world.

But according to the level of intelligence of the NPCs in this game, once there’s a risk that a war might break out because of us, I think we’ll be handed over by the Scarlet Castle Administrative Office in the first place to quell the other side’s anger.

After all, at the end of the day, we’re not in the right in this matter itself.

It’s not that we can’t form a slave catching team, but we can’t right now!

Transylvania’s military power and national power are too weak, in this situation right now it’s better for everyone to be peaceful, no one wants to see their hard-earned power, the NPCs that they fed with a handful of feces and urine be razed to the ground because of other people’s recklessness, right?

Lead Dove: [What should we do then? If we can’t engage in this kind of brinkmanship, do we really have to count heads one straggler at a time?
100 stragglers only give 10 points, a random weapon in the store, a random high-level skill handbook costs 50 points.

The collectible items that Mrs. Tris and Lord Murphy put up can even be sold for more than 100 points, such as the set of “Grand Duke Tris Teaches You the Secret Curse Method” spiritual handbooks that Good Pigeon I’ve been eyeing.

A whole 150 points ah!

That means Good Pigeon would have to bring to the Administration Office to search 1500 stragglers to do so! The most annoying thing is that those stragglers are still playing hide and seek with us.

When will we find them?

Punching the Galaxy: [Uh, actually, this isn’t as hard as you think, Sean and I and three other brothers have been roaming around Xike Territory these days.

Based on the experience of our team’s Sao, as long as you find a way to hire a mountain folk guide, those simple and good at tracking will be able to lead you to at least one group of stragglers.

They can’t hide what’s going on in the area, so they know exactly where the stragglers are hiding!
Unfortunately, if you want to hire them, you’ll have to brush up on your Winged Cavalry reputation, but to be honest, there are a lot of homeless people wandering around in that grassland, definitely more than you’d think.

Ruthless Horse Fork Bug: [Crap! You’re a loser! You just told our team’s little secret? Do you know how long it took me to find this solution?

It’s over.

There’s no way to eat alone.

Luckily, I just exchanged that set of ‘Blood Knight Sword and Shield’ that I’ve been craving for a long time from the store, or else I would have really been killed by you.]

Punching the Milky Way: [Hey, hey, it’s not like we’ve both exchanged for what we need, so I’m just telling you this little trick.

We can’t just watch our brothers go down the evil path of slavers].

Little King, the traveling scholar: [Quickly! The forums are posting online update logs, go read them! The development team has just made online hot fixes to give combat professionals a new channel to gain construction points.

But I always felt that quest description was weird.]

Sinking Fish Playing Games at Work: [Ah? Weird there?

Little King: [It’s that new quest called ‘If you’re a man, get down to Fight Club’, which says that in order to promote the happiness of the residents of Scarlet Fortress, Lord Murphy and Lord Maxim are going to select capable people throughout the entire territory to organize the ‘Transylvania’s First Boxing Championship Battle! ‘.

Hey!
Just by hearing that name, I know it’s not serious, right?
