Chapter 2115 Unknown Area and Businessmen
“The main city that belongs to our players.”
Faced with the question that is not a sharp one, Lusail gave an incredible answer answer.
The word main city is not unfamiliar to many people who like to play games. Although it is just a vague concept without a clear definition, in people's consensus, the main city is usually that kind of A player gathering place that integrates many convenient functions, such as hotels, warehouses, trading houses, professional guilds, transportation hubs, professional trainers, guild registrars, and various unique functions in most role-playing games Facilities or NPCs can basically be found inside, so in the middle and later stages of most games, players tend to stay in the main city for longer and longer periods of time.
But [Innocence Bound] has never been the majority of games, so although it does have a large number of places that meet the standards of the main city and have different features, players have never been the main theme in it.
In terms of size alone, places like the Violet Imperial City of Salamun, the City of Light, the core of the Holy Union, Academy City, and the City of Freedom are the highest-level main cities in any game; and Below that, there are places like the Golden City, Anka Market, Mercury City, Falls Territory, and Palmyra Free Trade Zone; if you go down one level, there are Red Cloud Terrace, Dieyan City, and Torilbon. Even the city of Doumbouya is complete.
To sum up, there are at least double digits of places that can be classified as super main cities in this game, and there are countless gathering places with specifications below that, but the problem is that they do not One truly belongs to the player.
This kind of thing may be strange in other games. After all, even the so-called camp leaders, those NPCs with titles such as kings, chiefs, prophets, queens, governors, etc. actually serve players. Yes, even if its attitude may not be pleasing due to personality reasons, the meaning of its existence is ultimately to improve the player's gaming experience. This is a fact that everyone knows.
To put it bluntly, even a level 1 trumpet that can't even beat a local dog, its real status in those games is higher than that of the most noble NPCs. To give an inappropriate example, The two parties are like a down-and-out diner and a wealthy waiter with a Ph.D. from a prestigious university. No matter how great the gap in conditions is, the identity of the server and the person being served cannot change.
To take it a step further, players who are nothing in the game and are down and out may experience a significant change in social status after leaving the game and returning to reality, such as from a rookie to an elite gold collar, etc., but When the game itself is compared to a 'restaurant', the NPCs who serve as waiters in the restaurant can never get rid of their settings.
Players can be servers when working, and become the ones being served when ordering takeout or eating out, but the NPCs in the game are different. They... no, it should be said that 'they' cannot change their position.
But——
In [The Realm of Innocence], the above 'common sense' can be said to be completely shattered. The reason is simply that those NPCs have no The underlying logic of 'serving players'!
This truly 'live' situation is undoubtedly a huge buying point, but correspondingly, the situation where players can do whatever they want has been suppressed to almost zero. In the early stages of the game, there were even six people every day. Countless players died tragically at the hands of NPCs because they were not used to this kind of identity change.
Painful and happy.
These five words are the true portrayal of ordinary players in this game. In the final analysis, apart from being a piece of data, the opponent is no different from a real person. This is exciting, but it cannot have any special relationship with it and it is easy to be killed. The feeling is really not wonderful enough.
Leaving aside 'ordinary players', if we look at it from the perspective of a club or studio, then the underlying logic of the game [Innocent Bound] and the flesh-and-blood NPCs in this game are also Well, almost everything it brings is trouble. Not to mention other things, just the "cannot live broadcast", "limited login during the day", "cannot freely choose race and camp" these points have almost broken their teeth.
It’s just that in view of the game’s fault-level technical capabilities and the overwhelming popularity and traffic, it is impossible for any far-sighted studio or club to give up on the cake of Innocence, so no matter what, It’s uncomfortable, and they have to hold their noses to settle in.
Of course, from the perspective of professional players, [Innocence Realm] is still very good, but when their status reaches a certain level, it is difficult to simply regard themselves as a player, even if they wake up People like Long have subconsciously put the club first when thinking about problems over the years.
Under the current circumstances, the attitude of the NPCs will obviously threaten the interests of the club or studio. Simply put, in this game with a complete world view, the natives may not care or even try to win over them. Ordinary players, but organizations such as Red Constellation and Viridian can already be regarded as 'powers', it is difficult for any lord, emperor or pope to welcome them, because they are likely to have an impact on the existing ruling class!
Fact... is also true. After all, if given the opportunity, these clubs and studios naturally hope to become the ruling class and become profit distributors.
It’s just that now, compared to the indigenous forces, which have been conservatively estimated to have evolved for more than 9,500 years, player organizations such as clubs and studios that cannot even produce an epic are too passive. .
But——
“If we players have a main city of our own.”
Lussel showed a refreshing and bright smile and said in a very brisk tone : "Then this problem will be alleviated to a great extent, not only allowing those of us who have family business to take care of to live a good life, but those NPCs will also look at us favorably."
Boss Sakaki shook his head and said unceremoniously: "So far, it's not appropriate."
"You want to grab it hard?"
He doesn't talk much, and he likes to chop people the most. The person who solved the problem said pertinently: "This is a complete world. Except for some places that are unsuitable for survival or very dangerous, there is no unclaimed land at all."
Guo Shi Wushuang took a sip of tea. He said casually: "If we rob hard, we will definitely become the target of public criticism. The best result is to be beaten to the ground with teeth."
"That's right, so whether it is a hard rob or looking for a piece, there is no ownership It is unrealistic to build it anywhere.”
Lussail nodded with a smile, then changed the topic and smiled slyly: "But what if I say that there is a piece of land that will be available soon, with a suitable environment, a favorable location, and no dependencies?"
< br>Diamond Biao looked solemnly and immediately asked: "Elaborate!"
"Haha, we might as well let the president of Apple follow the big Let’s talk about it.”
Lussel turned to look at the soft and refreshing apple fragrance, and said with a smile: “After all, it was the [Green Apple] Chamber of Commerce that discovered the news. It’s just a person.”
As soon as this was said, everyone immediately looked at the blue-haired girl standing on the outside, their eyes full of exploration and curiosity.
"Okay."
Qingqing Apple Fragrance is also unstained. After everyone looked at him, he immediately explained calmly: "According to reliable sources, about half a year ago, the eastern part of the Elf Forest and the Dark Jungle Several strange passages leading to a certain abnormal area appeared at the border. In front of the Elf Queen, Under the command of 'land reclamation', a 'large-scale regional task chain' of unknown nature was suddenly opened. To this day, with the efforts of many players and NPCs, it has been completed in four stages, but it cannot be completed because the Queen's order has not yet arrived. Start the fifth stage." The typing warrior touched his chin thoughtfully, OK. Qidao: "The reason is?"
"Only people from other worlds, that is, us players, can pass through the last batch of passages and enter the 'abnormal area'."
Qingqing Apple Xiang explained while looking at the man not far away who had a very bad reputation. Said: "And in that area, there are a large number of subspace creatures with powerful combat capabilities. Among them, the individuals with the highest combat capabilities even have epic levels. Since those last batch of passages are all one-way passages, it is difficult to reach that space All the players died inside, without exception.”
The typing warrior licked the corner of his mouth and asked: "So the matter is so awkward?"
"Yes, for the royal court headed by the Elf Queen, there is no doubt that such a strange place has appeared within its sphere of influence. It would be very uncomfortable, but because only players can pass through that passage, she has no way to solve this hidden danger so far. , had to order people to guard those passages, and continued to try, hoping to let his elite troops pass through the passages, but failed once. "
Qing Qing Pingxiang nodded slightly and explained concisely. Said: "According to our judgment, the next step of the task in that area must require the Elf Queen to be in full force. It can only begin by initiating a commission to more than one alien organization, and the final reward of the mission is highly likely to be an undeveloped land located in the 'forbidden zone' of the dark forest."
Baihuasha widened his eyes and shouted softly. Said: "So Xiangxiang, what you mean is..."
"Based on the top four of that large-scale regional mission As a result of this phase, four passages have been discovered between the restricted area and the Elf Forest, three passages to the east side of Mirk Forest, two passages to the forest elf habitat, one passage to the west of the Violet Empire, and one to the Land of Miracles. There are two roads, one with Academy City, and two with the Principality of Scaran.”
Qingqing apples fragrantly spoke out a series of numbers clearly, and then said sternly: "If after the mission is completed, these passages are still only us 'players' can use, then the ownership of that land will undoubtedly belong to us. In our hands, even if it is morally speaking, as the party that solves the hidden dangers in that space, we people from other worlds also have enough Reasons to occupy there.”
There was an uproar——
As expected, after Qing Qing Apple Xiang explained the situation, everyone present was immediately shocked, except for those who had already been informed. Except for Lusail who received the news, everyone showed a pensive expression. In silence, they were either thinking or sending messages to their companions to confirm the situation.
It wasn't until two minutes later that the person from the [Valley of the Evil] Club broke the silence and said seriously: "There are enemies at the epic level that we can't defeat."
"We will fight 'temporarily' However.”
Qingqing Apple Xiang corrected her and said calmly: "And there are always more solutions than difficulties."
"What is the specific situation over there?"
Ghost Jianchou continued to ask questions. , said seriously: "In the final analysis, only players can use the passage after completing the mission. It is just your guess. However, apart from the question mark whether that place is really 'convenient' and independent, we don't even know. The specific situation inside. "
Qingqing Pingxiang turned to look at him and said unhurriedly: "I can give you all the coordinates of all the passages in a moment. If you are interested, you can find them. Let those who are not afraid of death serve as scouts to explore. However, if you want to take the passage through the Elf Forest, you need to apply to the Royal Court."
"Let's get straight to the point."
< br>
Xinglong, who had been silent since just now, suddenly spoke and said softly: "So President Apple and brother Lusail, what you want is for everyone to unite and convince the Queen of the Elf Forest to entrust us to conquer that place, and complete the task After the regional world mission, develop that area and build a large gathering place that only players can use. , is that so?”
Lusel raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: “This is what President Green Apple meant. We, the Windbreakers, are just responsible for helping to set up a bureau and bring you here to discuss it. That’s all, of course, in terms of stance, our club is indeed very interested in this matter.”
Just finished it at the same time as myself. The source of the news also nodded and said seriously: "The Valley of Evil is also very interested, but how are you going to prove your conjecture, President Green Apple?"
"Because my senior advisor made such a decision. Judgment, and I believe her unconditionally.”
Qingqing Apple Xiang gave a very idealistic answer, and was honest with Keren. Said: "Whether you believe me or not, you are free to investigate or not, and all I can promise is that if you decide to get involved in that regional mission, then the [Green Apple] Chamber of Commerce will undertake the logistics tasks of the large force and provide Equipment and consumables with at least three-digit epic quality, high-level use conditions, and..."
Keren raised her eyebrows: "And what?"
"And a job transfer mission for the epic profession [Hellfire Lord]. As long as you have a level 40 warlock profession, you can receive it."
< br>Qing Qing Pingxiang calmly threw a bombshell, which shocked everyone present to the point where they even thought they were hearing hallucinations.
However, after noticing the exact same shocked expressions on each other, everyone immediately realized that it was not their own auditory hallucinations!
For a time, the dozen or so people at the table fell into silence as if they had pressed the mute button.
It wasn't until half a minute later that the typing warrior with unfathomable psychological quality broke the silence, looking with burning eyes at Qing Qing Apple Xiang, whose face remained as usual -
"Then, the price we need to pay is the establishment of the transaction. What’s the premise?”
“After it’s done, it won’t be a big deal. The green apple chamber of commerce headquarters has priority in the location of 3,000 square meters, and the construction and operation rights of at least 20 stores on both sides of the main road in the downtown area.” …”
“And two years of tax exemption”
"Eh!?"
