Chapter 25 Mission Mobilization
"Family Letters"
"You accidentally discovered an ownerless broken arm, and underneath the broken arm, there was an old letter."
"Obtained letters: 1/5"
After taking a look at the updated progress items in the task panel, Give Me the Medicine immediately stuffed the parchment into his waist bag and started searching the cabin.
"Nothing at all!"
Five minutes later, I had to give up the search... I don't know how many groups of players had cleaned up this cabin before, and there was nothing to be found except dust and fine sand.
"Could it be taken away by another player? No, that's impossible. If the letter was really taken away by someone else, then this hidden quest would have been triggered long ago and would not have waited for me to arrive."
Give Me Medicine frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly thought of something: "Wait, I'm not the only one walking on this road. Two players just passed by me. How come they didn't notice the broken arm?!"
He gave me medicine and ran out the door.
Just then, a player jogged over from the direction of the resurrection point.
Give me medicine and stand directly on the steps and wave, "Brother, are you going to do the mission?"
The player looked at me strangely and didn't seem to understand why this guy was crazy. The player who was one of the three veterans of the closed beta test knew me. When he passed by the door of the cabin, he politely responded, "Yes, Brother Yao."
Give me medicine and watch the player turn the corner and run away, then look down at your feet.
The zombie's severed arm was still lying on the steps.
In the final analysis... I was just playing a game. When I took the medicine, I didn't feel like I was encountering a supernatural event or a ghost. There was no possibility of me being scared.
"Could it be that the key item that triggers the hidden mission is not visible to everyone, but only certain players who meet certain conditions?" Not only was he not scared, he was also slightly excited. "It's just like the adventure in Genesis III, where many people on the same server are digging for treasure and hitting the treasure cave, but only one lucky person out of ten thousand can trigger the Three Mountains and Four Seas?!"
"The value of this game's hidden quests is equivalent to the adventures in regular PC games, which makes sense!"
"Oh hahaha! I am the real European emperor!"
I was so happy that I took the medicine. I immediately took screenshots of the severed arm and the parchment letter. Then... I picked up the severed arm and ran excitedly to find my friends.
Miaobishenghua had been working on zombie quests to save up copper coins for him, and hadn't had time to improve her magic instructor reputation. Now that she had finally started, it was difficult for her to disturb her while she was taking medicine for me.
Qin Guan, who was shooting video footage at the edge of the ruins in the south of the town, looked at the man running towards him with one arm raised in the air, as if he was carrying something, but there was nothing on his shoulder.
This guy was still screaming from a distance: "Vanilla! Vanilla! Can you see what this is? Do you see anything?"
Qin Guan: "...I saw a funny guy."
Give me medicine and pull Qin Guan to a place far away from the ruins to avoid being discovered by the big rat, and then he told him about triggering the hidden task.
"Fuck!" Qin Guan was furious. "Can this task be shared? If so, share it with me!"
"Let me see." Give Me Medicine carefully read the description of the hidden task setting in the side quest column, "It cannot be shared with others, but people who have hidden tasks can invite others to form a team and complete the task together. Teammates can gain rewards based on their contribution to the task... Shit! They can get Exile Town reputation rewards!"
"The territory reputation is open? When was it opened? Is there any update on the official website?" Qin Guan was surprised.
"I checked the official website when I was offline for lunch, and there's no update announcement. Don't worry." He said, "It says here that... the first person to reach a friendly reputation in Exile Town will become the mayor?? What the hell?!"
"Hurry up and read the entire text! Read it carefully!" Qin Guan was helpless.
Give me medicine. I am a very self-willed heavy player. Whether it is brushing the stats or playing game activities, I am very enthusiastic about participating, but I just don’t read the plot or the task text...
This time he took the time to read it carefully, and then he realized that this hidden task was not a simple adventure at all, it was extremely important, and he said in astonishment: "Oh my god, this task is, it is the activation task of the opening stage of Exile Town. When the task completion rate reaches 60%, the exploration mode is opened, and players can use the team function to go out of town and kill monsters..."
"When the mission completion rate reaches 70%, the territory reputation will be unlocked. The first person to reach friendly reputation is the mayor. This position of mayor rotates monthly and is held by the player with the highest territory reputation on the settlement day..."
"When the mission is completed to 80%, the Blood Alliance system will be opened. Players can obtain land and build their own Blood Alliance base by paying a certain amount of materials and copper coins to Lord Yang. The base can be used as a resurrection point for Blood Alliance members, a save point for logging in and out, and can also obtain a Blood Alliance warehouse... "
Qin Guan took a deep breath, couldn't help but grab the collar of the man who gave me the medicine, and said affectionately: "What else?"
"For example, if the task fails due to improper operation of the player, or the completion rate is less than 60%, the above functions to be opened will be temporarily shelved and will need to wait until the next hidden task is triggered..." I cried after taking the medicine.
Qin Guan: “…”
Today is the fourth day of the game’s launch.
But for players, the time spent in the game has long exceeded the actual feeling of a week.
This week... except for a very small number of players who don't pursue game numbers and don't care about earning a little pocket money, the vast majority of players have already worked so hard that they are sick of it.
I finally waited for the idiot planner to behave himself and release the content that is thrown to players at the beginning, such as monster spawning and guild building, but it is actually linked to the hidden tasks randomly triggered by players - if it fails, as the triggerer, I will take medicine, and I will definitely be criticized by angry players...
"...I understand." Qin Guan raised his hand and patted the shoulder who was giving me medicine. "Don't rush to complete this task, and don't wander around to avoid accidentally dying. Go offline and go to bed early. After 12 o'clock in the evening, get up and send me the screenshots you took. I will go to the forum to mobilize the big guys in the game to unite and conquer this task together."
"Your mission rewards may be diluted, but at least you don't have to bear all the responsibilities alone. What do you think?"
"That's it! Thanks, Vanilla!" He nodded vigorously while giving me the medicine.
As an adult, I would never have the idea of keeping the mission rewards for myself and not letting others get involved. Given the hardcore nature of this game, the mindless brick-moving tasks to gain reputation can make people cry. How can you solve the heavyweight hidden tasks linked to the opening stage of the game content by yourself? You are dreaming!
He intends to keep playing this game and doesn't want to be labeled an eternal sinner at the very beginning of the game!
The period from midnight to two in the morning is the busiest time for the "Alien World" game player forum.
The pictures and videos that players took after playing for a day can only be downloaded from the official website after midnight. Many players will post the screenshots and videos on the forum to show off their presence...
For the group of players, this kind of scene that can be seen every day in the game is naturally nothing new, but... the total number of players is only 300, but there are tens of thousands of accounts registered in the player forum. This huge number of cloud players are still very appreciative of the games they cannot play.
At five minutes past midnight, a post titled "Shocked! Hundreds of people witnessed the scene where a vanilla boss was found to have big breasts and no brains" appeared on the forum. In just a few minutes, it attracted the attention of the cloud players who were reluctant to leave, and the popularity soared...
This post from a fan of Qin Guan... shows from multiple angles and in all directions how Qin Guan "dazzled the whole crowd" at the Knight Instructor construction site after he put on the "Orb of Deception" - a heroic Valkyrie with big black wavy hair standing out among a crowd of skeletons in shabby white T-shirts and shorts. This description of "dazzled" is completely true and not exaggerated at all.
What’s even more shameless is that after cloud players and real players had licked dozens of replies, the original poster came out and secretly posted two pictures that were “kindly provided” by others and were screenshots taken at the Treasure Expert construction site.
The first one, of course, was the disguised phantom of the boss who played a female character, an image of a super noble cross-dresser wearing a luxurious Renaissance-style evening gown... As soon as the picture came out, countless cloud players burst into laughter.
The second one is a brilliantly crafted screenshot of a phantom game character.
"Ahhh my eyes! My eyes are going blind!"
"OH——NO! MY EYES——!!"
“Thanks to the host, I saved myself the midnight snack. ”
"Censor it! Censor it! I'm going to report it!"
"Oh my God! The governor looks 100 times better in a miniskirt than this! What bad things did Shenghua do to deserve to be punished like this?!"
"Give up, Mr. Shenghua! You don't want to be a human anymore! Your skeleton is ten thousand times cuter!"
…Luckily, Miaobishenghua hadn’t logged off since she accepted the magic instructor’s reputation quest, and was still playing the game, otherwise she would have been pissed off to death by these cloud players who were shouting and screaming…
What's even more hateful is that there are cloud players who don't mind watching the funeral and combined the screenshots of Miaobishenghua and Vanilla Pudding into one, and enthusiastically ran to other sites to post it randomly...
Then, this super contrasting merged picture was processed again and made into emoticons such as "You think your online girlfriend & your real online girlfriend", "You in the mirror & you in reality", "Other people's wife & your wife"...
After Qin Guan received the screenshots sent to me by the person who took the medicine, he kept working on the video. It was not until three o'clock that he finished the game content and mobilization video with rich pictures and texts , and uploaded it to Bilibili and the player forum immediately.
Next, Qin Guan went to the bathroom, took a shower, ate something, and prepared to put on his helmet and fight again before going to bed.
This routine was "invented" by players after they confirmed that their bodies were sleeping after entering the game. They put on a helmet before going to bed to play the game, and they don't need to wake up even after logging off, they can just fall asleep - wearing a U-shaped pillow to protect their neck, and they won't have any discomfort when they wake up the next day.
The only drawback is that you can only log in for twelve hours each natural day. If you play too much at night, you can only count the time to go online the next day...
Before going online, Qin Guan refreshed the official website as usual and took a look at the player forum.
Then... he discovered that whether it was the video barrage or the comment area, whether it was real players or online players, whether it was male or female netizens, they were all calling him wife...
Qin Guan: “???”
