Chapter 256: Undead Expedition

When En Bu Zeng called to urge them to go online, the orange cat boss had already gathered a large group of more than 40 people. Not only were Yang Ying, Tang Jiajialuo and the others there, but also Qin Guan, Give Me Medicine and Miao Bi Sheng Hua, the three veterans of the closed beta test, were present.
"Such a big team?" En Buzeng walked out of the teleportation point in surprise and casually sent an application to join the team to the orange cat boss who was holding the team leader's position.
"Sister Qingyue, it's a big mission! You know, a big mission!" The orange cat boss was so excited that he spoke with his hometown accent, "It's a big mission that requires us to go outside the Innadeli territory to open a new map! Hehehehe!"
"Oh - a world view breakthrough mission?" En Bu Zeng turned his head and looked at Miao Bi Sheng Hua.
"That should be it." Miaobishenghua nodded, and said with a pained look on his face, "I didn't expect that after the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce was raised, there would be hidden tasks falling on my head... What a pity, if I had known earlier, I would have raised more reputation of the Chamber of Commerce."
The reputation of Miaobishenghua's Guild is actually not low, it's almost close, and she is in the same tier as those casual players who are keen on brushing up the reputation of the Guild (the ones who hang out in the canteen of Exile Town and the logistics office of Westram every day); but she usually does a lot of online activities, either forming a group to fight in the monster battlefield or participating in weekend activities, or exploring the wild (Poison Mist Swamp), so she is relatively low in the first tier reputation ranking.
"Hey, it's not enough to just brush up, you have to reach my level." The orange cat boss has never been so popular in such a long time since he started playing games. He patted his chest with a radiant look, "I am the most famous person in the Chamber of Commerce. The reputation of the European sturgeon is more than a thousand lower than mine. You know, this is not luck, it's strength!"
Both the brilliant writing style and the non-increase of entropy kept their mouths shut and didn't agree with this.
The boss is not a lazy player. After he had mastered his profession, he started to develop tutorials for outdoor solo elite monsters. He serialized the progress of solo brushing strategies on the forum every day. The time he can spend on reputation is definitely not as much as you, a clumsy player who has to be despised by others for your operation even if you want to join a monster brushing group...
"Enough of talking, now that everyone is here, let's get started, okay?" The orange cat boss tightened the large backpack he carried with him and glanced at the Blood Alliance boss Qin Guan.
"Wait a moment, Sangsang will upload it soon. She just went to the Desolate Stronghold to buy equipment from someone, and the transmission CD is still a few minutes away." said the man who was giving me medicine.
"Sangsang hasn't come yet? We have to wait for her to come down." said the orange cat boss.
The mulberry leaves have fallen (I mistakenly wrote this girl as someone from Brother Lahong's team before, I'll change it later). After this girl who plays a warrior was pulled into their team by someone who gave me medicine, her performance has been very good. She has a high attendance rate in activities, and when there are no activities, she is also very enthusiastic about helping the daily players practice gathering and skills, and she is very popular in the Blood Alliance.
A group of players were squatting in the courtyard of Innadri City Hall waiting for someone. They were used to the clerks and operators coming in and out, and they walked past them calmly.
However, the citizens who came to the Civil Affairs Bureau window to do business were frightened when they saw so many dead spirits, so they walked around them from a distance.
While waiting for someone, En Bu Zeng took the opportunity to discuss the situation of the mission of the Orange Cat Boss with Miao Bi Sheng Hua.
Miaobishenghua still has a lot of complaints when talking about this mission: "The orange cat boss was suddenly triggered when he was walking around the market. The mission is called "A Commission from the Odysseus Family". I read the introduction and it is related to the vampire that Lahong and his team eliminated before. Isn't that vampire called Simpson Leo? This Leo family is the younger brother of the Odysseus family. Vampires have infiltrated their family, and they are panicking. The Odysseus family sent a commission to the Undead Chamber of Commerce, hoping that the player will solve the problem of the Leo family."
En Bu Zeng was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't it the exorcist's job to eliminate vampires? And it's related to the Undead Chamber of Commerce?"
Exorcist quests do not give reputation, but destroying the monsters in the exorcist quests can gain territory reputation. Territory reputation and the Undead Chamber of Commerce are not in the same system. The former is the threshold for job transfer and promotion, and the latter is the threshold for making money - in other words, the former is a must for mainstream PVE/PVP players, while the latter reputation is exclusive to casual players.
"We underestimated the reputation of the Undead Chamber of Commerce." Miaobishenghua sighed, "There is a secret base of the Undead Chamber of Commerce in the main city. Don't you know this?"
Entropy does not increase: "Huh?"
"You've hit a blind spot in your knowledge." Miaobishenghua felt much better when he saw that she was also confused. "Orange Cat Boss knows. He also knows that the NPC currency he earns from the business flow can be exchanged for copper coins at the Chamber of Commerce stronghold in the main city besides Westram."
Entropy does not increase: "Oh——"
Of course Entropy knows that the orange cat boss can earn copper coins by trading with NPCs. The orange cat boss has tried to pull these girls into the caravan many times, but the girls have no interest... The copper coins earned on a daily basis can be saved and sold to earn enough money for milk tea. There is no need to sacrifice the gaming experience just to make money. They come here to play games, not to make gold.
"And what about the boss behind the Undead Chamber of Commerce? Who do you think is it?" he said brilliantly.
"Huh?" The fact that entropy did not increase made him even more confused.
Everyone knows that among the five NPCs who issue quests in the Undead Chamber of Commerce, three are players with GM accounts, including the two old men in the Undead Canteen in Exile Town, and Sister Zhao who once issued work quests directly to players.
Mia and Ben from the Logistics Department of Westham Town Hall are pure NPCs to players. They won't chat with players, and the communication is not as flexible as that of "real NPCs".
This is a group of insignificant forces that only have a few NPCs in charge, who give players boring tasks like cooking instant noodles and stews every day. And there is a big boss behind the scenes? !
"It's Lord Yang!" Miaobishenghua gritted his teeth, "Once the orange cat was exchanging copper coins in the main city, he saw Lord Yang in the Chamber of Commerce base. This pig wouldn't even tell us such important information!"
The orange cat boss was very sensitive to the insults. He immediately stopped bragging to others and looked over indignantly: "Have some sense, Huahua. I asked you to play the caravan mode with me. I said the Chamber of Commerce has a high degree of freedom and is very fun. The Chamber of Commerce reputation is definitely worth it. It was you who didn't listen. How do I know that you care more about whether the Chamber of Commerce boss is Lord Yang?"
"You can't even tell the difference between the big boss of the camp and the big boss of the NPC faction? I'm the one crying because of your stupidity!" Miaobishenghua shouted.
“Damn it… It was you who said before that Lao Yang would be usurped and would be punished sooner or later. Now you are also the one who says that Lao Yang is more important. What can you say?” The orange cat boss whispered.
"Don't force the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce." En Bu Zeng pondered for a while and said, "It's too troublesome to gain reputation for this NPC faction. You can either wait for missions like a casual player, or give up all gameplay and play the caravan mode like the orange cat. I think it's better to just go with the flow."
It was a pity that she had missed the big fish of the Undead Chamber of Commerce and had not known the importance of this NPC force earlier. For a story-driven player like her who liked to explore, this was just as tangled as forgetting to open the treasure chest after completing a level. She was not really against the orange cat boss. She apologized to him first, and then pulled him over to interrogate him to see if there was anything else he hadn't confessed...
While they were chatting, Sang Yeluo came over happily carrying his newly bought weapons and joined the group. A group of players immediately headed for the Guild of Commerce stronghold in the main city.
The secret base of the Undead Chamber of Commerce is located in the main city. Its geographical location is very secretive - walk out of the City Hall towards St. Joseph Avenue, turn north after leaving the inner city wall of the Midtown area, and it is hidden in a small stand-alone building deep in the back streets and alleys of the Xinfeng District.
The orange cat boss led the group to a secluded alley where he usually walked alone. He proudly introduced the place as he walked: "This guild base in the main city is very particular. Only those with intimate reputation or above can enter. There is a very large underground warehouse. If you want to play the caravan game, you need to submit an application to the NPC on the first floor and hire at least two human NPC employees. Then you can get the goods nearby in the underground warehouse."
"Oh, oh." The players who followed were all absent-minded, and their reactions did not live up to the enthusiasm of the orange cat boss at all.
Most players really don't have much interest in role-playing as a small businessman who runs a business at his own risk, spending a lot of time and effort... Not to mention the Blood Alliance, even after hearing about the caravan gameplay, few casual players are excited.
The twelve hours a day online are all used to lead the caravan to the countryside. Even if you find the NPC village, you may not be able to succeed in the transaction. The movement process is not a super casual mode that you can just click the mouse (finger) and leave it alone. You have to keep an eye on the goods in the caravan all the way, be careful not to let the NPC employees get sick or injured, repair the car if it breaks down, feed the horse if it is hungry, and find a safe place for the employee NPC to stay when you go offline - who the hell can continue to play this game!
If you have the energy to do this, you can set up a stall selling skewers and make a fortune in real life!
Seeing the "incorrigible" character of this group of people, the orange cat boss could only sigh... Boss European sturgeon, stop wasting time on your hopeless SOLO strategy, wouldn't it be nice to make money with me!
When they arrived at the small building, an orange cat came forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a zombie NPC wearing a black cloak and covering half of his face opened the door from the inside.
Therefore, Yang Qiu hid the main city base of the Undead Chamber of Commerce in such a secret place, not because he wanted to make things difficult for the players, but because of objective conditions - it would take a lot of effort to let citizens know which building next door has a zombie.
Entropy Does Not Increase, Wonderful Writing, Give Me Medicine and others have all completed the part-time jobs assigned by Sister Zhao, and improved their reputation in the Chamber of Commerce to a close level. They all followed the orange cat boss into the house.
The zombie NPC slowly closed the door, slowly returned to his seat, and slowly spoke to the orange cat boss: "You are worthy of being the compatriot who cares most about the Chamber of Commerce. You are really willing to share the worries of the Chamber of Commerce."
Miaobishenghua and Enbuseng looked at each other. As expected, Lord Yang was the Undead Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes. Raising the Chamber of Commerce's reputation to the first in the game would trigger a special mechanism. This zombie NPC also flattered the orange cat.
"Of course I will. The Chamber of Commerce is like my home. I love it so much." The orange cat boss interacted with the zombie NPC skillfully. "What do you need me to do for this mission? I have already found all my compatriots who can help."
The zombie NPC explained the plot slowly: "Moses Port is the second largest city in the Odis territory and an important source of tax revenue for the Odis family. Unfortunately, the prosperous Moses Port attracted vampires. For the stability and peace of Moses Port, the Odis family asked the Chamber of Commerce to eradicate the maggots lurking in the darkness on their behalf."
"This is very important, fellows." The zombie NPC's half-rotten green face swept over the players who followed into the room. "In fact, the Chamber of Commerce is discussing a bigger cooperation with the Odysseus family. If you can solve this matter perfectly, then you will win a new opportunity for the Chamber of Commerce to move out of Innadri and embrace a bigger market."
Not to mention the two smart girls, Entropy But Increase and Miao Bi Sheng Hua, even Qin Guan and Give Me Medicine, who had participated in several important tasks, had their eyes shining - a new map can be unlocked after completing this task, it is indeed a task to break through the world view!
Next, the zombie NPC introduced the destination of the mission, Moses Port. Through the zombie, Yang Qiu seriously reminded the players that they must not cause trouble when they go to Moses Port, and must show the spirit of contract to get things done steadily - otherwise the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce will be deducted to negative numbers!
“What the hell?!” Upon hearing that their reputation would be deducted, all the players were shocked.
Players who don't pursue casual gameplay don't really need the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, but for players, no matter how crappy or useless the game values ​​are, they are what I have spent a lot of effort to get. They are mine and cannot be reset to zero at will!
Of course, Yang Qiu also knew the players' "can be useless but cannot be absent" character, so before the players could get angry, he quickly threw out another good idea, saying through the zombie NPC: "It is important for us to gain the trust of the Odysseus family. Fellow undead, Ms. Phoenix needs brave mercenaries who fight for her, and I believe that our brave and fearless undead compatriots are the best fighters."
The players immediately became obedient. Not only did they not care about the threat of losing reputation, they also urged the orange cat boss to quickly interact with the next step...
Players not only don't feel being used when being thrown out by the Chamber of Commerce as mercenaries to fight, but they are looking forward to snatching... and competing with the humanoid monsters - the territory war has been over for a long time, and the players have long been tired of the equipment they snatched at that time, and are struggling to find a place to exchange for more powerful equipment!
The two sides happily reached a consensus, and the orange cat quickly completed the plot dialogue, received the next round of tasks, and obtained a "Teleportation Badge" - when the team leader is equipped with this badge, the players in the team can unlock the teleportation point of Moses Port and ignore the teleportation CD, without having to wait half an hour .
On the other side, at the Crescent Manor outside the city of Moses Port.
The Leo family had only been wealthy for twenty years, but the family tradition was still very strict. Phoenix's order was passed down at lunch time; as soon as lunch time was over, all the people in the manor (excluding serfs, who had no qualifications or opportunities to approach anyone from the Leo family) rushed to the Fountain Square to gather.
The first to arrive were naturally the people of Leo's family, including the head of the family, his parents, brothers, cousins ​​who were dependent on Leo's family, children, nephews, nieces, etc. There were dozens of people gathered behind the fountain.
The older ones looked serious, but the younger ones were not so nervous. They talked in low voices and looked curiously at Brother Lowell and the group of unfamiliar Innadri militiamen on the other side of the fountain.
Crescent Manor is close to the size of an ordinary small town, so it naturally takes a lot of manpower to maintain such a large manor. Before all the people arrived, the militia had already assembled the undead summoning array.
"This... is this okay?" Phoenix stared at the thing that looked like a big iron plate no matter how he looked at it, and it didn't seem very safe.
"I've seen similar summoning circles, so there shouldn't be any problems," Lowell consoled.
When Yang first used his eloquence to trick him into leading the undead army to fight against the Cult of the Fiery Sun, the undead summoning array given to him was even drawn on a piece of relatively sturdy kraft paper... If he hadn't buried the paper in the ground, covered it with loess and tamped it down, it might have been stepped on by the undead.
As soon as Lowell finished speaking, bursts of white light suddenly appeared on the large iron plate that had just been assembled and placed on the ground to the right of the fountain.
