Chapter 66 Let’s talk about the artifact
Under the leadership of Long Aotian, Xu Xiaofan came to the City Lord's Mansion.
Although this was Xu Xiaofan's first time in a different world, the exotic customs and buildings of different styles in the city made people admire and curious, but Xu Xiaofan could not look around randomly.
He had to maintain his dignity as the God of Death. Even if he was curious, he could only let the divine system scan and save a copy, and then he could slowly appreciate the charm of the other world.
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Ercong finally found the time to successfully escape from the pile of information collected by the players and came to the hall to greet the Grim Reaper.
"Of course, Aotian, you really brought the God of Death here!"
"That's right, don't you see who is doing it?"
"The Death God is the big boss of our faction, but he was brought here so easily by the players. It must be related to something extremely important."
" Maybe it's another big mission."
"This world-class mission hasn't been completed yet, has it? Are there going to be new missions? We might not be able to handle them."
The top players in the Death God Calamity Strategic Coordination Management Bureau group had a brief exchange, and then Xu Ercong quickly walked up to Xu Xiaofan with a respectful expression.
"Respected Lord Death, I am Xu Ercong, the commander of the Paradise of the Dead Legion."
Players have long known that in Deathly Hallows, every NPC has his or her own wisdom and personality.
Since the Lord Death in front of him is the big boss of the player camp, he must be more advanced than ordinary NPCs and more like a real god or person.
Therefore, Xu Ercong did not dare to be negligent in his communication with Lord Death.
This is the big boss in my family, and there will definitely be benefits if we can negotiate with him.
"Xu Ercong, I know you."
Xu Xiaofan laughed hoarsely: "I have been paying attention to you, and I admire you very much."
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Death."
As soon as Xu Ercong finished speaking, Long Aotian couldn't wait to ask, "Boss Death, are you hungry? I'll make you two dishes. Let's sit down and talk while we eat."
Xu Ercong looked at Long Aotian speechlessly. Why did this guy talk about eating and socializing all the time?
Get rid of it. Can you please not bring the real-life table social interactions into the game?
Could the God of Death be the businessmen in the real world?
Can you get a big mission just by eating and drinking with the God of Death?
Lord Death is an NPC, the big boss of the faction, how can you talk to him like that! This is disrespectful to the big boss!
“…”
Xu Xiaofan couldn't help but be stunned. He also underestimated Long Aotian's dog-licking behavior. He really was eager to find an excuse to get closer to the god of death every moment.
Fortunately, Xu Xiaofan was wearing a black cloak, and no player could see the expression of Lord Death.
"Long Aotian, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Xu Ercong glared at Long Aotian and scolded him in a private message: "If you keep doing this, aren't you afraid that you'll piss off the God of Death? Why are you only thinking about eating when we're talking about business?"
"How can you say that about me?"
Long Aotian felt aggrieved: "Brother Cong, you haven't even asked the God of Death if he's hungry, how do you know if he's not? What if the God of Death is hungry, wouldn't you make him lose face if you say this?"
"Lord Death is a god, the big boss of the camp. How could Lord Death be hungry? Have you ever heard of a god who needs to eat? He may have already been fasting!"
"Brother Cong, Bigu is a Taoist concept from the East, and the God of Death is a Western god. Besides... this is the first time I've seen a god NPC, and I don't know if he's hungry or not."
Long Aotian chuckled: "Brother Cong, think about it. I see that other NPCs need to eat, just like real people. Maybe the planners set that every NPC needs to eat!"
"After careful analysis, it makes sense."
Xu Ercong ended his private message with Long Aotian, then turned to look at Xu Xiaofan: "Lord Death , are you hungry?"
What the two of them didn't know was that the contents of their private messages were completely known to Lord Death. As long as Xu Xiaofan was willing, he could detect any behavior and activity of any player in the game.
Seeing the private messages between the two people, which seemed like they were arguing with each other, Xu Xiaofan was speechless.
Should I be hungry or shouldn’t I be hungry?
Xu Xiaofan pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I can eat, but I don't need to eat. I came here this time because I have something to talk to you about, Xu Ercong."
It turns out that no matter what the situation is, players are always curious and capable of making trouble.
Xu Xiaofan felt that he had to get down to business quickly, otherwise he would be led astray by Long Aotian again.
"Oh? I'm all ears!"
Xu Ercong's eyes lit up and his expression became much more respectful.
His intuition told him that something good was definitely going to happen.
"You led the Undead Army to capture the Northern City of the Esk Continent, and successfully expelled the members of the Temple Force stationed in the background, achieving initial success in the faction war."
Xu Xiaofan lowered his voice and said hoarsely: "I want to congratulate you. You led most of the players to successfully complete the world-class mission [Safety of the Undead]."
"Ah, is this done?"
Long Aotian's eyes lit up, and then he laughed: "I told you, once our army commanders take action, the temple will surely fall flat on its face."
Xu Ercong couldn't help but smile and flattered him: "Thank you for your favor, Lord Death. This is what I should do. As your loyal believer, I will fight for you until death!"
In fact, after conquering the Northern City, Xu Ercong also thought about it. Although the players' behavior was crazy, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it should be regarded as the completion of the world-class task [The Safety of the Undead].
Because when the world-class mission was first announced, the mission content was to require players to defend the Northern Forest and resist and expel the invasion of the temple forces.
Although the content of the mission is to let players passively defend, in a sense, leaving the Northern Forest and actively eliminating members of the temple forces is also a way to complete the mission.
The reason why Xu Ercong couldn't really confirm whether the task was completed was mainly because the points mall had not been closed and the divine system had not given any corresponding prompts.
Now Lord Death has come in person and said in front of him that the mission [Safety of the Undead] has been completed, which means the world-class mission has truly ended!
When Xu Xiaofan said this, Xu Ercong, besides being happy in his heart, also had other guesses and insights.
"It seems that it was not just our capture of the Northern City that caused the God of Death to awaken, but our completion of the world-class mission. Or, under the combined influence of these two factors, we players happened to meet the necessary conditions for the God of Death to awaken, which promoted the advancement of the game's background plot."
Just as Xu Ercong was thinking in his heart, Long Aotian said with a smile: "Well, Lord Death..."
"Now that the mission is accomplished, where is our reward?"
Long Aotian has been thinking about this matter: "Lord Death, how come this is a world-class mission? It's very high-level, and the mission reward should not be low, right?"
"Sir Death, to be honest, many of our brothers in the legion died in order to complete this mission!"
Long Aotian was heartbroken, his face full of sorrow and passion for the God of Death: "But when the brothers thought about how they were doing this for the Lord of Death, they were willing to risk their lives to the death! We must give them some mission rewards to appease the hearts of the believers!"
Xu Ercong looked at this guy speechlessly.
What's with the selfless fighting? That's just players trying to grab points. Anyway, there are rich people who will reimburse the cost of the resurrection cooldown time, and ordinary players will feel they are at a disadvantage if they die less.
As for the fact that many brothers died in the Undead Legion, this is true, but every player can be resurrected after death!
Long Aotian made a fool of himself by saying these things, and Xu Ercong doubted whether he thought the God of Death was a fool who was easy to fool.
However, Xu Ercong could also understand Long Aotian 's approach. After all, I Love Berserker's expansion quest "I am the Summoner" was also completed, but there was no reward.
This makes many players worry that they will not be able to obtain mission rewards when completing expansion missions or world-class missions.
Without mission rewards, players' enthusiasm and passion for completing missions will inevitably be reduced by more than half.
Xu Xiaofan also knows this very well.
"There are mission rewards."
Xu Xiaofan spoke up, reassuring the two: "You have completed a world-class mission, so you will naturally be rewarded. This is my reward to you, for your bravery and wisdom in the mission."
“There really is a reward!”
Long Aotian was overjoyed, and before Xu Ercong could speak, he couldn't wait to look at Xu Xiaofan: "Boss Death, what is the reward?"
"What mission reward do you want?"
Xu Xiaofan glanced at Long Aotian. The players' excitement in attacking the city opened Xu Xiaofan's eyes and made him truly realize the potential of the players.
The believers performed well and Lord Death was in a good mood, so he let the players choose the task rewards themselves.
“Is it a super awesome artifact?”
"Or a massive amount of experience to reach level 100 in one go?"
"Or is it endless life points?"
Long Aotian chuckled, a little embarrassed: "Actually, I want all three of them."
You want life points?
Xu Xiaofan wanted to jump up and slap this guy. I, the God of Death, am counting on you players to earn life points for me. Do you still want to take money from me?
No way!
Look at the request you made, what's normal about it!
This is simply too much!
"Aotian, what are you talking about? How can anyone make such a request? This is too shameless!"
Xu Ercong was very dissatisfied and glared at Long Aotian: "What kind of artifact do you want? What kind of life points do you want? What kind of massive experience do you want? Do you think this is reliable?"
Xu Xiaofan was very pleased. My legion commander is still a reasonable person. Long Aotian doesn’t know the value of firewood and rice until he runs the household.
"I was wrong."
Long Aotian felt aggrieved: "Then Brother Cong, what kind of mission reward do you want?"
"We can't make things difficult for Lord Death."
Xu Ercong said very seriously: "As for the rewards, of course, the best equipment is the best. We don't even want the artifacts. I will be satisfied if Lord Death can just give us a set of level 30 purple suits worth tens of thousands of dollars."
"Awesome!"
Long Aotian gave a thumbs up.
Tens of thousands of purple suits instantly raised the overall strength of the players significantly.
Moreover, these sets will definitely not be given to players for free. They will definitely be sold, which will make a huge amount of real money.
“Tens of thousands of sets…”
Xu Xiaofan took a deep breath and felt a tightness in his chest.
Tens of thousands of sets of purple equipment, how much divine power would it consume.
Xu Xiaofan made a rough estimate in his mind, then looked up at the two players and said in a deep voice.
"Let's talk about the artifact."
