Volume 10: Pride and Prejudice in the City-State Chapter 3 Negotiations Break Down
'Mission: Get information'
Mission introduction: In a remote rural town, there is a university transfer station, which contains some unimportant evidence and information, which is of no importance to anyone. Even the Alliance itself does not care at all, they just want to disgust the university that has always been high and mighty. No one cares about the real situation, because that kind of thing is just at that level. No one deliberately pay attention to it for even a minute.
But the players appeared. They accepted the mission and questioned the entire mission. They defeated the alliance's attack and kept the entire city in order. Because they were players, they were also willing to take any risks. Whether they died or their enemies died, it was a happy thing. What's more, they themselves would not disappear because of one or two deaths. When this mission was confirmed, the chain of fate would have tied the two parties together. And the final result would be fatally disadvantageous to you.
When the things on both sides are essentially the same, of course the more people there are, the better. This is a truth that every living being knows. However, the existence of magic has obscured the vision of many people, just like selectively forgetting the great deeds you have done. In their eyes, players are nothing more than that.
But the scale of this battle may be beyond everyone's imagination, that's all you can be sure of.'
'System prompt: This mission is a confrontation mission.'
'System prompt: Because of your reputation, the enemy will be notified by the alliance.'
'System prompt: Because of your reputation, the Alliance already knows that the White Knight's true identity is you. Therefore, the Alliance's favorability towards you is hostile.'
'System prompt: Player??? The temporary alliance has accepted the confrontation mission.'
“…”? ? ? Alliance… This is called? ? ? Temporary Alliance instead of Unnamed. Are these people poisonous?
Looking at the increasingly ridiculous mission reports and the enemy alliance names, Li Lin felt that he might be facing a group of cheerful enemies who had no idea what tricks they would use next. If it was the kind of respectful and reserved enemies, it would be a little easier to deal with, at least they would not come up with anything too fancy. But facing this kind of cheerful and imaginative players, it was probably no different from encountering a group of orcs.
They are all a bunch of players who don't know what the hell they are thinking. Just looking at the naming style and slogans of this group of people, you can tell that they are not serious people. Not being a serious person in battle means being unrestrained and leaving no trace. There are 80 psychological games when using any skill. And the most disgusting thing is that if it is a MOBA game, it is okay. Noobs are noobs. But this is an adventure game where people can revive, sneak attack, and suicide attack. This group of psychopaths are lurking in the crowd to cause trouble. Li Lin felt that his head was so heavy that he didn't know what to do.
And if it was before the game was updated, it would be easy to just look at the words on the top of the head. But now that the game has been updated, no one has words on their heads anymore. Who knows if the fat guy who is bragging about the five-year business plan of the town is an NPC, or just someone who has nothing better to do and made an image to confront the players.
"trouble……"
Players have always been synonymous with trouble, whether they are enemies or friends.
Li Lin shook his head and was about to ask the logistics department for something to enrich himself. However, at this moment, a small red dot suddenly appeared on Li Lin's interface, which meant that someone had applied to chat with him on the forum.
I picked up the call without thinking too much. Soon, a particularly cheerful voice came from the other side . As soon as I heard it, I knew it was the voice of a crazy child with a lot of mental illness.
"Hey! Boss Li Lin, how are you? I came here to say hello to you."
"Are you from the Alliance?"
"Yes, I am from the ??? Alliance. What do you think? Isn't this a good name?"
The person on the line seemed very excited and proud of the name he had come up with.
"It's not that the text doesn't show up, nor is it because of any other reason. It's because our name is ??? Alliance. I think this is very creative. I even kicked more than a dozen people off the map just for this name. What do you think, Boss?"
" ..."
Why are you asking me about your own affairs?
And God, he beat his own people just for a name, you guys are not wise.
As if he could understand the crazy complaints in Li Lin's mind, the psychopath also let out a long sigh on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, my teammates have always been so unreliable. Don't we play games just for fun? Last time, someone got stabbed with a knife because he made tofu pudding incorrectly. For people, the most important thing is to have fun. I think as long as you're happy, that's all."
"Just tell me what you're here for. If possible, I hope we can make a deal. If you give me this mission, I can pay—"
"We are not short of money, why do we have to trade? Isn't the purpose of playing games to have fun and have fun? Wouldn't it be less fun if we do this?"
The other side asked back, and the choked person was speechless.
"In short, we are actually looking forward to the arrival of Boss Li Lin. A group of players have watched your videos and they are really shocked. But we think we are not that bad either. We will have to rely on our own abilities. We have the advantage of position and numbers, and you have the advantage of level and skills. We are all equally matched. We are very happy and hope you can be happier too. That's it. We will win this mission, but I hope you have fun~"
“…”
The leader's unfocused voice was heard over the commuter line, and then he hung up.
Looking at the projection screen that showed the end of the call, Li Lin was speechless for a long time, and finally could only let out a sigh.
"well……"
You guys really came here to play games.
So the most annoying thing is these recreational players, they are simply unyielding... although I am the same.
But since the declaration of war has been thrown down, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I didn't accept it? Besides, other players have big brains, strong execution and strong algorithms. Does that mean Li Lin is much weaker than others? Only the storm can knock down the tree? That's not necessarily true.
"Since you're a player, you have to apply for something else..."
Estimating the risks he might encounter along the way, Li Lin thought for a while and walked towards the logistics department.
