Chapter 52: Cut! Cut a bunch! Is that enough?
"This mission is quite interesting."
Xu Ercong glanced at the task screenshot information sent by I Love Berserker and lowered his head in thought.
Obviously, the content of the mission requires players to contact Alia, and some intelligence information is also revealed in the mission information.
Arya is already in a difficult situation of being captured by the Temple forces because she has been branded as undead.
However, although Arya’s situation is not good, she is still a human being after all. According to the official nature of the game, would a human NPC be willing to associate with the undead?
"The difficulty of this mission should be this point. How can we contact Alia and increase her recognition of the undead?"
Xu Ercong sighed: "From the information in this mission, if we want to complete the mission, we can't make her a believer in the god of death, but at least we have to make sure she doesn't hate the undead."
"According to my initial judgment, this should be a mission to improve your favorability, or a mission to assist the faction."
"The mission is difficult."
Hearing the boss sigh, I Love Berserker said with a smile: "Boss, it doesn't matter if the task is difficult. If you can complete it, then complete it. If you can't complete it, forget it. It's just a task."
I Love Berserker is living a very comfortable life now. He can get a salary from the club every month and he can do some live broadcasts to earn some extra money when he has nothing to do. He is not in a hurry to complete the task now.
"Lao Kuang, the Godhead System said that you have completed the previous mission "I am a Summoner". Did you get the mission reward?"
"No, I didn't get any reward at all. The planner is so stingy."
"I see."
Xu Ercong suddenly realized and sent a private message saying, "I think no matter how stingy the planner is, he will not deliberately give you a reward, let alone forget to give you a reward."
"I guess the reason why you didn't get a reward after completing the previous task is probably because of this hidden task."
"This hidden mission should be the continuation of the previous mission. The official said that the expansion world is changing every moment, and there is a butterfly effect just like the real world. If you open this hidden mission, then the reward of the previous mission is very likely to be accumulated in this hidden mission."
"If we take into account the value and potential of the hidden mission itself, the reward we will receive after completing this mission may be even more considerable!"
Xu Ercong said firmly: "We must complete this hidden mission. Even if there is no chance, we must create an opportunity to contact Alia!"
"Boss, whatever you say is what I agree with!"
I love Berserker very much, and he definitely doesn't object to what Cong Ge says.
"But boss, there is a question. How should this task be completed? Who should be asked to complete it?"
"Of course you have to do it."
Xu Ercong laughed and said, "Of course you have to complete your mission. I will arrange for the project team and the operations department to fully cooperate with you ."
"Ah? I'm going to finish it?"
I love the Berserker was stunned, and said sadly: "Where can I find Arya? The North is so big, and there are knights guarding outside the North Forest. I can't do anything."
"It is a hidden mission because the mission is difficult. We must overcome difficulties and work hard to complete the mission. I believe in you, Lao Kuang."
“I don’t quite trust myself.”
…
"Since Alia has been rescued by Master Sad Wind, it means that the Magic Academy has not given up on her. This is also very likely a signal that the conflict between the Magic Academy and the Temple is deepening."
Xu Xiaofan opened the screen of the divine power and breath, looked at Alia and others who were on their way, and muttered to himself: "I have to think of a way to let the players and the people in the magic academy hook up, so that we can destroy the temple together."
"In this way, there will be no undead enemies on the Esk continent, and the players will be able to better help me develop the Esk continent."
Only by destroying the temple forces can the undead enter the continent of Esk in large numbers.
As early as a month ago, Xu Xiaofan would definitely not think so. He wished to be as far away from the God of Light and his believers as possible. Steady development was the best way to go.
However, since the negotiations between the three major clubs and the game platform operators, a large number of new players have entered the Death God Scourge game every day, and the number of online players has continued to rise.
Now Xu Xiaofan is full of confidence.
Now that the number of believers has increased, we don’t have to be afraid of Lao Guang’s believers anymore.
At worst, we can just have a fight to see whose believers are more powerful!
Moreover, the most crucial point is that with the increasing number of new players, the North Forest has been unable to meet the players' upgrade requirements.
The high-level monsters cannot be killed, and the low-level monsters will all be killed.
The entire food chain ecological environment of the Northern Forest is about to be destroyed. If players are not allowed to find a way to leave the Northern Forest and enter the Esk Continent, the Kingdom of the Death God will fall into a development bottleneck.
So no matter what, Xu Xiaofan has to fight with the temple forces and try to eliminate them.
…
Just when Xu Xiaofan was thinking about a new plan, new news broke out on the player forum.
"Old Berserker has received a new mission! @I Love Berserker, come out and let us see the mission content!"
"It's no use looking for Lao Kuang, you have to look for Brother Cong, Brother Cong is his boss! Boss Cong, come out and tell us what the new mission is!"
"You said the Paradise of the Dead Club is interesting, right? They come up with something new every day. Last time they came up with a world-class mission, and this time they came up with another one."
"Why do all the benefits fall on the Paradise of the Dead Club? My brother Long and my brother Bo are already crying in the corner."
The heated discussion on the player forum quickly spread to the entire game, and everyone knew that the Dead Paradise Club had received a new mission.
The quests in the Esk expansion pack are surprisingly difficult to obtain, at least at this stage when everyone is stuck in the forest. If you want to obtain the quests, you can only find wild NPCs.
Only the Paradise of the Dead Club has the capital to get most of the tasks. As for other clubs, even the Aotian Club has not obtained any decent tasks so far.
Since every player had gained a lot from the last world quest group activity, when everyone heard that Cong Ge was going to make a new move this time, they couldn't help but focus their attention on the Paradise of the Dead Club.
In order to enable me to complete the task better, Xu Xiaofan even updated the task information template and added an additional task map with NPC movement coordinates.
I Love Berserker can check the activity track of the quest NPC Alia and the approximate location indicated by the cursor in his own quest information bar or map.
"Brother Cong, my mission has been updated! The coordinates of a new mission NPC have been added!"
As soon as I saw the update on the taskbar, I immediately contacted Xu Ercong.
"very good."
Xu Ercong nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the planner also knows that we have no clue at the moment, and took the initiative to help us reveal some clues. With this NPC location guide, at least we can guarantee that we will be able to find Alia."
Just as Xu Ercong rushed into the conference room and discussed with the project team members how to complete this task.
“Ding Dong.”
A private message came.
Xu Ercong opened it and took a look.
"Brother, what's going on? Do you want to fight? Take me with you! I'm a great chopper!"
Looking at the content of this private message, you can guess that it is this guy Long Aotian.
He is always shouting that he wants to kill people. He is really a skeleton berserker and is very dedicated.
"Nothing's wrong. There's nothing to cut. Just take a rest."
"That's not right, big brother! Don't fool me. The whole internet is saying that you got a new mission. Take your brother with you! Your brother won't hold you back!"
Xu Ercong finally understood that this dog-skin plaster was sticking to him and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Long Aotian sent a private message saying he didn't want to save him, and Bai Xiaosheng also sent a private message.
This guy was even more straightforward. He directly sent over a screenshot of the internal agreement among the three major clubs. There was a line in the agreement that was bolded and highlighted in red.
"In any situation regarding the Death God Scourge game, the three major game clubs must advance and retreat together, share interests, and act in unison."
"What a pack of hungry wolves."
Xu Ercong was having a headache, because this agreement was for everyone to work together to negotiate with the game platforms, not for sharing the profits within the game!
But there is no way, the agreement has already been signed.
Although it was just a verbal agreement and the electronic contract was not formally signed, people who work in this industry must always keep their word.
When the project leader asked about Xu Ercong's troubles, he smiled and said, "Boss, I think you don't need to be so upset. At worst, you can just take the other two companies with you."
"In that case, don't I have to share the hidden mission rewards with them as well?"
"Indeed."
The project leader nodded and said, "But based on our current discussions, if only our family were to complete the hidden mission, it would probably be quite difficult."
"The requirements and process of this hidden mission are still unknown. The difficulty may lie in how to persuade Alia to return to the arms of the god of death."
"But beyond that, there is an obvious difficulty we need to overcome."
"That's how to find Alia!"
The project leader paused and continued, "What if Alia doesn't enter the North Forest? Based on my guess, based on the absolutely realistic and personified NPC personalities, it's impossible for a normal person to enter the forest without any reason, right?"
"After all, even if it is to avoid the pursuit of the temple, there are more ways."
"The probability of Alia entering the forest is almost zero, so we must leave the forest and find Alia."
"But according to the information from the world quest, the Temple Knights have been keeping an eye on us for a long time. It has been several days since the last team fight. The Temple may have received the news a long time ago. They may even have deployed heavy troops outside the forest to guard against us."
"If we want to leave the forest, we will have to fight the temples again! Whether it is because of a hidden mission or a world-class mission, this is unavoidable."
"With the strength of my club alone, we are definitely no match for the Temple Knights. So why not bring the other two clubs on board and fight together!"
The project leader smiled and said, "The benefits and advantages that can be obtained from world-class missions are definitely far greater than those from hidden missions!"
"We can sacrifice some of the benefits of hidden tasks in exchange for the benefits of world-class tasks. This deal is still very cost-effective for us."
“That makes sense.”
Xu Ercong's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement: "Your idea is very good."
According to Xu Ercong's previous plan, he would lead the players to develop on the spot, wait for the temple forces to take the initiative to attack, and then passively defend and counterattack.
But now there are more and more new players, and the upgrade resources in the forest are seriously insufficient.
If players continue to wait, they won't be able to improve their strength much, so it's better to take the initiative.
If the Knights Templar don't come, can't we fight our way out?
Thinking of this, Xu Ercong became more and more excited, and a clear plan appeared in his mind.
At this time, Long Aotian sent another private message.
There is also a dynamic expression with a wronged look behind the private message content.
"Brother, I want to join a group fight and kill people."
"Cut! Chop a bunch of people! Chop to the human main city! Is that enough?"
"That's enough. Thank you, brother. You are so kind."
