Chapter 68 Internal Test (3)
Facing the noisy players, Metrorash took a step forward and raised the blood-stained sword in his hand.
"Quiet!"
But the players seemed to be in a rebellious stage, and became even more noisy, with all kinds of slanderous remarks coming out one after another.
"I'll just say hello, husband."
"I don't want a male wife, let me do it."
"Why is a red-skinned NPC so arrogant? Sooner or later, I will kill you."
"This equipment is so cool. Is it available in the store?"
"He's so cool, I love him so much."
Metrolash's scalp felt numb after hearing this, but he had no choice but to continue speaking.
"Warriors from the unknown space, I am the administrator of the city of Baator, a tiefling warrior under the red dragon. You can call me Metrorash. I am here to greet you on the order of my master."
"It's just that our city of Bator - and even the entire Ember Nest does not welcome idlers. You need to prove your worth to me."
"I believe you can see that the city of Bato has been built not long ago, and everything needs to be developed. I hope you can contribute your own strength"
Metrorash tried his best to speak impassionedly, but the players were basically not listening except for the extreme plot party.
"This equipment looks pretty good. It feels like it's at least a mini-boss level."
Steamed Bun subconsciously called up the panel and lost an investigation.

[Loading completed! ]
[Based on your own strength, you can observe the following information. ]
【Forsaken Sword-Medrarash】
Faction: [Burning Nest-Baator City]
Basic abilities:? ? ?
Challenge level:? ? ?
Favorability: -5 (mild disgust)
"According to official information, only when the gap between the challenge level and your own level reaches five levels, the information will not be displayed. Is this Novice Village NPC so strong?"
"Wait a minute, why has the favorability gone negative?"
He raised his head and saw the tiefling staring at him, with a hint of danger in his eyes, obviously having discovered his spying.
"Damn it, can we find it in the investigation?"
Steamed Bun put away the panel angrily, stood at attention, and listened to him obediently.
Metrolash looked around at everyone with warning eyes, and then continued: "You can accept the mission, and Baator City will give you corresponding rewards."
"Everyone, please wait."
His tone suddenly paused.
"Captain, we found it." Damakos stepped forward to report.
Several strong tiefling guards took a new corpse covered with arrows out of the cave and placed it next to the original one - the "white stripe in the waves".
Only this time he sent it before he had time to say the lines.
Metrorash had already received news from Cassius, knowing that players would be resurrected, and he also knew that there were certain limits to players' resurrections.
In "Erezegai", players can only be resurrected every ten minutes, and each time they will be punished by experience based on their current level. There are only three opportunities to resurrect each day. After the third death, they can only hang up in the forum to complain.
"Holy crap, is this NPC so smart?"
"They will all squat at the resurrection point!"
“This official AI is just a joke.”
"Okay, okay, the wandering beast has messed with the mentality of many people. In other games, we attracted the final boss and destroyed our main city. He should be beaten severely and get to his heart. Broken.”
“I’ve become a fan now.”
"I was heartbroken when I saw players being blocked. I was ecstatic when I saw that the people blocked were stray animals."
"It seems that there are still many good NPCs in the world..."
A chilling and kind smile finally appeared on Metrorash's face. "Everyone, please be quiet."
"This is just a small warning."
As soon as he opened his mouth this time, all the players suddenly fell silent, like elementary school students caught by the class teacher.
After all, no one wants to be blocked at the beginning without development. Next to the arrow-covered corpse of "Langli Baisiao", Metrolash's words seem particularly convincing.
Metrorash began to introduce various information according to the instructions of the red dragon.
"Weapons and armor are sold in the blacksmith shop, food and water are sold in the market, drinks are sold in the tavern, and you can live on the second floor. You can accept tasks in the task bar in the square, and receive rewards at the Baator City Adventurer's Guild."
According to Metrorash's description, players have a rough understanding of the situation in Baator City.
After the task is released, the corresponding task data also appears on the player's panel, including building city walls, building houses, going out for hunting, hunting enemy monsters, etc.
The system will allocate experience based on task difficulty, consumption, etc., and the camp contribution will be taken over by Cassius, the camp leader.
It's just that most of these tasks are life-oriented, commonly known as moving bricks, and the monster-fighting upgrades that players are familiar with account for a small proportion of them - after all, Storm High Slope is about to be contracted by Ember Nest, so we can only Go find those monsters in the mountains and forests.
"So many tasks..."
"This [Hunting the Dire Boar] mission rewards a set of standard city guard equipment. Let me start directly."
"This is real physical data. You may not even be able to beat a chicken."
"You can't beat a chicken."
"Why is there still a task of moving bricks..."
After all, they had just entered the game, and the players were so interested in these various tasks that they even ignored the "Langli Baitiao" who was lifted up again.
Three corpses were lined up in a neat row.
As if wordlessly telling the ending of this troublemaker.
Although Bato City has begun to take shape and has some prototypes of a city, it has only developed for five years. The population is sparse, the family background is shallow, and the buildings in all aspects are still very crude.
The most important problem is the shortage of labor. The support of Ember Nest has slightly alleviated this problem, but water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness.
With the participation of hundreds of players, Baator City can develop rapidly in all aspects, especially with a tireless labor force that is not afraid of death.
And the players began their exploration.
"Holy crap, why are there ogres in the tavern! Can't they see it?"
"No, brother, don't hit me, I'm a good human being!"
"That big-nosed goblin is a patrol? I really thought he was a monster."
"This flying dragon can understand human speech."
"Ogres, goblins, flying dragons, and... well, tieflings. Why do I feel that our novice village doesn't look like a serious camp?"
"The dragon statue in the center of the square is quite handsome. He seems to be our boss."
"Wait a minute, we won't be born in the boss's lair, right?"
"."
Metrorash stood at a high place, silently watching these "Starfallers" who were going around taking on tasks, thoughtfully.
Their appearance brought a lot of chaos to the city of Baator, but it also brought a life with infinite possibilities. Although Metrorash often felt speechless, he clearly understood this.
"I began to understand what the master said, 'Inducing it with benefits and threatening it with threats'."
The tiefling paladin thought so.
