Chapter 67 New World Class Mission
"I think that purple equipment alone cannot be used as a mission reward. It must be a divine weapon to be worthy of your contribution this time!"
Xu Xiaofan's tone was very serious, but for some reason, Long Aotian always felt that something was wrong.
Which is more powerful, one artifact or tens of thousands of sets of purple suits?
Obviously, Xu Ercong wanted both, but he also knew that the latter was unlikely.
Unless the planner is out of his mind, it is impossible for him to let the NPC give such task rewards. This will destroy the game atmosphere and progress and accelerate the burning of the game's life.
“Good artifact!”
Xu Ercong nodded: "The mission reward given by Lord Death must be the most powerful artifact!"
Xu Ercong felt that since the Death God NPC was highly anthropomorphic, it would definitely be a good idea to flatter him more.
Now that we've come to this point, the God of Death would surely be embarrassed to give a bad artifact as a reward, right?
Xu Xiaofan was silent for a while.
Actually.
Things like artifacts and purple equipment don't consume much of Xu Xiaofan's divine power.
Unless high-quality equipment is manufactured on a large scale, Xu Xiaofan will consume a lot of his divine energy. If he just wants to create a magic weapon with a single attribute effect, he really doesn't need much divine energy.
Because Xu Xiaofan can just create a small top-grade equipment, and then directly change the level to the "Death Artifact" logo.
In this way, although this small top-grade equipment is displayed as a divine weapon in the level of the divine system, its actual power is only at the level of ordinary top-grade equipment.
Anyway, players don’t know what the Death Artifact looks like, nor how powerful it should be.
This was originally Xu Xiaofan's plan.
But he thought again and felt that it was not a good idea to do so.
Although Xu Xiaofan has now created the body of the God of Death, and the strength of the body of the God of Death has also possessed the top power in the continent of Esk, he still cannot act rashly.
If Xu Xiaofan was too high-profile, it would most likely attract the attention of the God of Light, and the extent of the matter would likely exceed the fight among believers and directly rise to the level of a war between gods.
However, Xu Xiaofan has not yet fully recovered to his peak strength and is still in the incubation period. He still needs to rely on the strength of the players.
The standard for measuring the power of a god is to see how many believers he has, and how many of them are powerful and loyal.
The followers of the God of Light are spread across all dimensions. The power of the God of Light must be extremely powerful and is definitely not something Xu Xiaofan can afford to provoke now.
Xu Xiaofan also needs more players to fight for him in various planes and obtain more life points to improve his strength.
The reason why Xu Xiaofan was beaten by the God of Light in his previous life was mainly because his believers were not strong enough.
So in this life, Xu Xiaofan made up his mind to work hard to consolidate the foundation of God and strive to improve the potential and strength of believers.
In other words, the strength of the players means the multiple improvement of Xu Xiaofan's own strength and potential.
Therefore, Xu Xiaofan felt that he should give in to the situation to the best of his ability.
As long as the players are unaware of the real inside story, they should help the majority of players improve their strength as much as possible, so as to create a virtuous circle of "players become stronger, and the God of Death becomes stronger."
Therefore, Xu Xiaofan gave up the idea of giving a fake artifact.
But he had no idea how to create a magic weapon in a short period of time, and the process of creating a magic weapon was relatively complicated.
Xu Xiaofan simply said, "There is no problem with rewarding you with a divine weapon, but I need some time to select a divine weapon that suits you before I can give it to you."
"Thank you, Lord Death! We are more than willing to wait!"
After waiting for a few days to make a choice, Xu Ercong and Long Aotian are both looking forward to seeing what kind of powerful artifact the God of Death will give them.
"Xu Ercong, I came to you this time, in addition to rewarding the mission reward, I also need you to do another thing."
Xu Xiaofan paused and said seriously: "Strictly speaking, my request this time is the same as the last time I asked you to expel the Knights of the Northern Temple. Both require your cooperation."
"It's another large-scale mission, and it is very likely to be a new world-class mission!"
Xu Ercong and Long Aotian looked at each other and both understood the meaning of Xu Xiaofan's words.
If you still can't understand, you are a fool.
We are all veteran players who have been playing various online games for many years, and we know what tricks are going to come out as soon as the NPC opens his mouth.
"I am happy to be of service to you, Lord Death."
Xu Ercong took the initiative to speak, his face full of smiles and his eyes full of excitement.
The previous mission rewarded an artifact . If I complete this mission again, at least I should be rewarded with another artifact, right?
When I think about it this way, I suddenly have two magical weapons, which makes me feel great.
"Defend the North and allow the undead to take root and survive in the North!"
As Xu Xiaofan finished his words, a notification from the Divine System was sent to all the online players.
【Dear players, good morning! 】
[Since the player "Xu Ercong" led the Undead Army and cooperated with many players to initially complete the "Safety of the Undead" mission, the national mission rewards are now officially issued! 】
[Players who participate in the "Safety of the Undead" world-class mission will be awarded 100 points each! The three legion commanders Xu Ercong, Long Aotian, and Bai Xiaosheng will also receive a mysterious artifact that they jointly own and have the right to use! ]
[Due to the excellent completion of the world-class quest "The Safety of the Undead" by the players, the world process of the Esk Continent expansion pack has , leading to a new world-class quest. ]
[The content of the "Safety of the Dead" world-level quest will be expanded to include more in-depth quest content. This is a complete world-level quest content. The "Safety of the Dead" world-level quest has not been completely concluded, and the points mall will not be removed. Each player's points can still be used or continue to accumulate. ]
[Now, we will start announcing new world-class mission content. ]
After the server-wide announcement of the Divine System, all online and offline players received the relevant task information at the first moment.
[Defending the New Territory of the Undead]: A follow-up mission from the world-class mission "Safety of the Undead". The heroic Undead believers fought hard to capture the Northern City, which originally belonged to the Temple, and they will inevitably provoke revenge and new attacks from the Temple. Lord Death requires believers to defend the Northern Territory and the Northern City, so that the Undead can take root in the Esk Continent. Gain a foothold in this beautiful and rich continent and leave a mark for the Undead!
[Mission Requirements] Defend the northern region and the northern city!
[Mission Tips] You can take all forms to conduct faction wars. This is a real world! Every player's decision will affect the subsequent development of the expansion! If the world mission fails, the Esker Continent expansion will be permanently closed! All players will be punished for the failure of the faction mission by being forced to downgrade 3 levels!
[Task Reward] SSS+ level mission reward. The specific mission reward is determined by the final mission process and mission outcome.
…
"Sure enough, a new world mission has arrived."
Xu Ercong muttered to himself, "I knew it. How could [Safety of the Undead] be such a simple world-class quest? It turns out that a world-class quest is a whole set of consecutive quests, one after another."
Long Aotian didn’t think as much as Xu Ercong. When he heard the notification from the divine system, he couldn’t help but jump high and shout excitedly.
"I can fight in a group and kill people again!"
"Brother Cong, please tell me when we can kill people!"
"This time, let's not just defend it. I suggest we take the initiative and attack directly to the temple's lair!"
Long Aotian still has the same temper, lawless, and can even talk nonsense when there are no enemies.
Xu Ercong had suspected more than once whether this creature was born in the year of the dog, a small Teddy bear.
"No rush. We don't know the true strength of the temple yet. It would be unwise to attack proactively."
Xu Ercong was very rational. He shook his head and said, "We should get the mission reward first, and then gain a foothold in the Northern City."
"Since the player's main city has not been fully developed, don't even think about continuing to fight in groups."
"All right."
Long Aotian was a little disappointed.
"Lord Death, do you have any good suggestions that can help us complete this mission better?"
Facing Xu Ercong's question, Xu Xiaofan shook his head: "This is your business, you should use your brain more."
Xu Xiaofan didn't want to get involved in the strategies and plans among the players.
As he said, if everything is solved by the god of death, what is the point of having believers?
In the long run, believers will inevitably become overly dependent on the help of the god of death, and eventually lose their own spirit of struggle and hard work, thus dragging down the god of death.
Xu Xiaofan had suffered a loss in this regard in his previous life, so he would not interfere too much with the players' behavior.
Unless the players are facing great danger and difficulties, Xu Xiaofan will just stand by and watch. The most he can do is silently give them material support.
Without fire, where would the real gold come from?
Seeing that the leader of his own camp was so aloof, Xu Ercong could only smile awkwardly and said, "Okay, I'll figure out how to complete the task myself."
"Um."
Xu Xiaofan nodded and prepared to get up and leave the City Lord's Mansion, but Long Aotian refused to let him go.
"Lord Death, please stay!"
"I haven't seen you many times. You finally left God's Kingdom for vacation. Why don't you stay out for a few more days?"
"Let us, the believers, honor you well."
Long Aotian had a smiling face and he was thinking about it in his mind. The rewards for the tasks given by Lord Death were at the artifact level. If he could dig out a few tasks from Lord Death, wouldn't he make a fortune?
This is the boss of our own camp, the final boss at the same level as the God of Light. It’s definitely a good idea to serve him well!
Xu Xiaofan originally wanted to learn more about the Esk Continent. This was his first time in a different world other than the Kingdom of God, and of course he didn't want to go back to the Kingdom of God so early.
Long Aotian persuaded him so hard that Xu Xiaofan agreed and moved directly into the City Lord's Mansion.
Long Aotian settled Xu Xiaofan down and was prepared to continue chatting with Xu Xiaofan, but Xu Ercong called him away with a military order.
New tasks have been issued, and we must make comprehensive preparations and make general strategic plans for the future.
As the commander of the Aotian Legion, Long Aotian could not avoid the meeting and could only go to the City Lord's Mansion hall to attend the meeting of senior players to discuss the new world-class mission content together.
