Chapter 95 94. go to work go to work, go on my ass! Might as well play the game [3460
(Extra for brother ‘Huo whole quite good’ [19/20])
Two days passed in a flash.
The third day was a rest day, and it was rare for the small players to all finish going online during the morning hours.
They all gathered by the large rift between the outer ruins of Cadman City and the inner city, and this time it was a flush group of 60 players.
It was still a great sight to see all of them gathered together!
Especially those veteran players who had entered the game earlier, most of them had a full set of veteran armor and matching weapons, and the uniform style of their uniforms made them stand together revealing an “elite style”.
The second and third batch of players are not as good in this regard.
With the exception of the thirteen guys under Happy Stick who got themselves some nice gear with a wave of self-destructs, everyone else was still wearing the squire’s body armor or recruit’s armor provided by the Kardman Self-Rescue Army and the survivor camps.
It couldn’t be said to be blank equipment, but it was just enough for the most basic protection.
Still, there was good news.
Yesterday, Happy Stick took a team of nearly thirty people to a gangster’s lair in the sewers under the pretext of practicing, and after spending four hours of steady and gradual progress, he really gnawed down the place that had been turned into a ghoul’s nest.
In addition to still not being able to find the legendary gangster’s treasure trove, the other gains were not bad.
The battle with more than 30 ghouls not only allowed the third batch of small players to basically reach level 4-5 and complete the normal profession transfer, but also allowed them to harvest unexpected joy.
There were not only a few boxes of scattered coins in that crime den, but also a batch of firearms that had been privately hidden by the underground gangsters.
The quality varied, mostly soldiers’ rifles and hunter’s muskets that had flowed into Cadman City during the Ten Years’ War, but it was enough to arm the small players and provide them with enough ammunition.
There was still a surplus of two per person, and the rest of those were turned over by Stick to Maxim, from whom he exchanged another batch of finely crafted recruit-grade weapons.
Only then was the third batch of new players finally armed to the point of being able to fight before the team copy test began.
Although they all knew that this was an alien world of swords and magic, where bullets didn’t see to be more powerful than swords, the group of young players born under the red flag still stubbornly believed that these bang-bangs would give them more security.
After all, who would run up to fight a dangerous monster with a sword when they could aim and shoot obscenely from a distance?
“Ah, my big axe is already hungry and thirsty!”
Wearing a refined veteran’s armor, carrying a shiny “Ambition and Dream” series of double-edged great axe, the sports student Khaki Tony too followed behind his “boss” Precipice Bull, while shaking his fist, said to his best friend Mud to Luta Oil:
“A moment into the copy you want to protect me, with your heavy shield to me to create an output environment, this time we brother two with a little better on the gaga mess kill.”
“You guys better take it easy.”
Precipice Bull, who was walking in front of the head, shook his head and said:
“This time it’s a team copy, the monsters are sure to be powerful, last night Brother Stick made the strategy clear in the group, our task is to hold back and delay, don’t just rush out of the defense line to hack.”
“I’ll just blow a force, boss, you are so serious to look like I’m so dull ah.”
Kaki complained and whispered again:
“Next door to the dormitory of a few livestock every day to rub our computers on the forum to blow water, I can see that they all want to play, boss you do not ask the administrator when to issue a new quota ah? We also need to support the athletic students, or learn to meow brother and stick brother like to form a group?
You can see that Dove and the others have begun to form a group, so we can’t afford to miss out on anything.
When that time comes, Shihuang will be the big sister and you will be the big general, so we can also make a career out of it.”
“What do you want me to ask about this?”
Niu Niu sighed and said:
“Brother Fat has repeatedly emphasized that this game has to push the plot fast in order to have more test slots unlocked ah, and if this copy can’t be chewed up we people can only be displaced, so it’s better to fight well.”
“Hey boss, where did you get this hunting crossbow? It looks so powerful.”
Mud gave Luda Oil sharp eyes.
He saw a red hunting crossbow hanging from Niu Niu’s arming belt, it wasn’t the same as the kind used by players, this thing was very delicate and structurally complex as if it was still a black technology that could be automatically cocked.
“Hey, a reward from doing an NPC’s exclusive quest yesterday.”
Bull grinned, greatly sharing the information said:
“Those witch hunters are actually quite generous and bold, as long as you are recognized by them you can trigger such a task, my old sister asked me to find important NPCs to brush up on goodwill and said that I want to take what ‘warrior’ title, I guess she meant to do this kind of NPC exclusive quest.
There really are benefits, but of course the dangers are great.”
Speaking of this, Ox touched the new scar on his neck as he said with a sigh:
“I spent two days following three elite witch hunters to finish off more than eighty ghouls in the catacombs of Moorland Village, the smell was really disgusting, people were going numb.”
“You didn’t tell me earlier if it was so good?”
The two followers were instantly displeased as they bickered to:
“If I had known this, I wouldn’t have gone to the sewers with Brother Stick to fool around, in addition to rising a level, basically didn’t get any benefits, the equipment dropped over there we can’t use, it’s all for the newcomers.”
“Pee Pee Pee .Lord Murphy’s here. The event’s about to begin. Find a place to stand.”
Niu Niu saw from afar that there was a war horse galloping with 120 militia members of the Cadmanian self-help army rushing here, so he knew that the event was going to start, and hurriedly brought his two followers to stand at the side of the crowd.
As a result, when he turned around, he saw Lumina carrying a lyre case, and he was astonished for a moment:
“Are you hiding an automatic rifle in this piano case?”
Bull snickered in a low voice:
“Why don’t you take a weapon? Are you planning to follow us to sing and dance Rap in the copy? Take my advice, sister, this is not a good time to dance.”
“These are my weapons, I’m a bard now, and my guns and stuff are in my psychic bag.”
Lumina proudly patted the elven piccolo stuck in her belt as she said:
“Watch me buff you guys in a bit.”
“Yes, yes, yes, hidden professions are marvelous.”
Next to her, Little Reed Name chewed on the malt candy she bought from the NPC and rolled her eyes in a conspiratorial manner:
“I don’t know who was looking for my flute’s sheet music in the middle of the night last night, but I had to poorly push my wheelchair to go to my mom’s piano room to help you look for it, almost making my dad think that his house had been burglarized. That’s outrageous.”
“Shut up, you’re not emptying my savings and Little Pomegranate’s savings to buy you a powerful new weapon at Mrs. Adele’s.”
Lumina chided:
“You guys just have no conscience!”
“Hey.”
Vikina skimmed her lips and continued chewing her malt.
She hadn’t eaten anything this rough in reality, but chewing it in the game had a different flavor, bitter then sweet.
This little dwarf touched the two exquisite scarlet revolver hand cannons on her belt and stopped complaining.
She really liked the style of firearms in this game.
Especially this kind of exquisite and mysterious weapons really poked her fancy.
These two refined veteran-grade pistols were bought by Lumina from the mysterious Mrs. Adele, and it was fortunate that Lumina had entered the game early, and brushed her “personal reputation” with Mrs. Adele, otherwise she would not have been able to buy these customized weapons.
These two hand cannons are actually the weapons used by Mrs. Adele in her professional days.
She can’t use them now, but they’re just for her collection, but they’re also the elite weapons that Missy had ordered for her in the weapons workshop in Xike City.
Even the bullets were customized. It was still sold to the young player for the sake of her esteemed elder, Lord Murphy, but the price was ridiculously expensive, and to be honest, if they didn’t genuinely trust the young Reed Name’s marksmanship, Lumina and Sister Pomegranate wouldn’t have emptied out their in-game savings for it.
“My warriors!”
Riding on a warhorse, Murphy wrapped himself tightly so that the sun wouldn’t burn his “delicate” skin, and his Elder’s armor and signature scarlet cloak made all the players’ gazes fall on him.
The witch hunters had already entered the inner city through the rift on the other side of the city, so Murphy didn’t make a long speech, he just pulled the horse’s reins and shouted:
“Today’s battle is a small step in the recovery of Cadman City, but a big step in the grand plan! For some time now, you have proved your bravery and will to the world, and now, unruly fate has placed another great test before your eyes and mine.
If we fail to break through, this will be our grave.
And if we win, this will be the starting point of our fame and undefeated legend!
Warriors, I am honored to step into battle with you, to fight together for our future and the future of all of Transylvania, and I am confident that we will be able to laugh at death and drink that wine of victory together at the gates of hell!
And now, the Cadmanian Self-Rescue Army!
In my name as the sole lord of this land.
Let’s go!”
“Ding.”
As Murphy made the classic draw-sword-and-point-at-the-inner-city motion on his horse as if he were taking the Emperor, a plot quest from a mainline NPC issued by the mainline NPC popped up in unison on the interface of all the mini-players:
[Prologue – The Last Night of Cadman City
Quest 5: Epilogue – Drowning in blood in the past and victory in sight tomorrow!
Description: The warriors have accomplished all feasible salvation in the ruins under the catastrophe, and thwarted the shameless rebellion of the ambitious with their courage and sacrifices, it is time to go deep into the underground to extinguish and cut out the last remaining filth in this dark land, and thus help Lord Murphy truly and permanently obtain the dominion of this land.
Like the king’s loyal and undefeated knights, he marches with an open heart and full of confidence! To obtain the laurel called ‘Victory’ for his monarch.
Objective: To enter the Blood Vulture’s Cloisters, complete the Raider’s Ride and slay the fallen Blood Vulture Patriarch, Salokdar.
Reward: A large amount of camp reputation, Blood Vulture Clan Warrior Chest X1, new storyline unlocked.
Failure Condition: The mission will be deemed a failure when the Kardman Self-Rescue Army and the Witch Hunters’ manpower is depleted.
Failure Ending: Survivor camps are massacred and the server is deleted and restarted].
“Blanch!”
At the sight of that failure ending almost all the players cursed fiercely in their hearts at this moment, especially those old players who had been playing since the start of the beta test felt the pressure all of a sudden.
The good news was that the guesses of the younger players were right, this game was indeed player-driven in advancing the plot.
The bad news was that since it was player-led, after the players suffered a shameful big failure, it was only natural that all the NPCs who had already established a certain relationship with their current endeavors would see the end of total annihilation, right?
“The failure penalty for this main quest is really harsh, it’s even more outrageous than the three-day death penalty.”
Brother Woo Meow fiercely tapped his staff on the ground and said to the brothers beside him:
“It seems that the NPC’s manpower is the key, one less of them dies, we’ll have to top it off, but we can’t lose too much. Three days is simply not enough time for resurrection, once the player group is too heavily damaged, the NPC’s regimentation is only a matter of time.
We really have to play for our lives this time.”
“Isn’t this all the fault of the development team?”
Sanwu Dou said irritably:
“Where was this tangle when more slots were opened up earlier? Other than that, if there are 500 players here.”
“Then we’d have to mess up ourselves first!”
Next to the earthly sober chimera old song skittishly said:
“University a student union dozens of people can quarrel at a meeting, not to mention everyone Ping Shui met to play the game, who TM willing to listen to you ah, and who will admit to their own dish in the game? To be honest, if it wasn’t for Brother Bang leading us in a few real battles and winning them, would you have listened to him on such an occasion?
I’m telling you, this is the right arrangement.
It’s better to have fewer people!
There is cohesion, and it’s more important to be precise than to be numerous.”
“That’s right! I’d rather fuck a hundred vampires with ten reliable fellows than team up with a hundred idiots to fight a copy.”
Ringsong whispered:
“Now this this is the best MMORPG I’ve ever seen in terms of game environment, everyone is really like brothers and sisters, but don’t mass recruit people to get some unqualified idiots to come in and disgust people, I’ll be the first to disagree!
If I say, brother meow, or your broken company will not open, we transition to specialize in this game it?”
“Right, brother.”
Pretending not to use his hands also came over and said to Brother Woo Meow:
“Didn’t I talk to you about this when we washed our feet together? If you trust my expertise, I’ll tell you that there’s definitely money to be made in this game! Even if you don’t open the game currency exchange, there’s still money to be made.”
He quietly pointed to Orchid Flower in the group of sisters who were walking in front of the group and were crossing the large rift through the edge of the city wall, and said to Brother Whimpering Meow:
“Look at the finely crafted Witch Hunter Iris Shield and matching Nailhead Hammer behind Sister Orchid, does it look familiar? We bought it from the Witch Hunters by swiping your personal reputation.
We made this amount yesterday when it changed hands.
Those sisters are really rich, I intentionally raised the price but they didn’t even bring a counteroffer, and I ended up refunding part of it to them, as if it’s honest business, making a good relationship first to leave a good impression on the big customers.”
He gestured a few fingers, making the corner of the eye of Brother Woo Meow jump hard.
He chided in a low voice:
“Who the hell let you guys do offline trading of equipment? What if this gets caught by the admins and the account is canceled?”
“Who would report you if you’re willing?”
Looking at the weak but actually wayward old cousin Little Hands revealed a subtle smile as he put on a dog-headed military advisor look and whispered:
“There is this market that exists objectively, we have the ability to get what our customers need, this is purely business behavior and not breaking the rules of the game, I have read the player’s manual on the forums several times.
You can rest assured, the official did not explicitly say that is tacitly allowed this behavior, not to mention the 100% realistic game, the economic activities between the players can not be realistic?
If there were that many restrictions, there would be no such thing as 100% realism.
I’ve done the math!
As long as we do it right, we’ll definitely outperform your crappy company.
Now that the market for your business is not working, eight out of ten people who drop a brick on the street are programmers, so what’s the point of struggling in a red sea market? Also, a while ago you took the small Baga’s single let you lose a sum of money, right?
Listen to me, change careers, brother.
Now you can make money and reap the joys of playing games in other worlds, why not?
Of course, the prerequisite is that our team has to stay at T1 level and must be excellent in all aspects, only then can we access the real good stuff in the game.
This will just differentiate us from Stick’s team!
He’s obviously going for the big guild legion stream, so let’s be small-scale mercenaries!”
“The problem is where are there that many buyers?”
Brother Woo Meow’s merchant instincts were instantly activated.
He quietly calculated the gross profit indeed a bit moved, but still a bit hesitant, the result was that the pretentious unused hand next to him snorted and said:
“In terms of the current super high quality of players in this game, who doesn’t have a few bucks besides the student party? People’s student party is just now no money, pigeon treasure they are all students of famous universities, the future of money smooth it.
And after the large-scale test, it’s only a matter of time before a rich guy comes in who doesn’t have a lot of money.
Just put your heart in your stomach, trust me, work for two months first.
If you lose money, it’s on me! I’ll pad it for you okay?”
