"Chir...chir!"
"Chi chi chi!"
"Ouch...ouch!" the little wolf cub impatiently interrupted the chirping of a sparrow next to him.
"Okay, okay, I won't forget you, let's give you a position to play with, right?"
"Chirp!"
As the camp became more and more under construction, everyone around Vivian became busy.
Xiao Xiao became the players' instructor, Sakai Risa moved her original cabin here and transformed it into a "props workshop", and Luzi, as the former club's elite administrative officer, players All the daily chores are arranged by her.
Seeing that each one of them has become an extremely popular character surrounded by strangers, even the greasy uncle who was looked down upon by Xin Yan, Zhao Jie has been in the limelight recently, as apart from the little wolf cub, it can be said that Wei Xin Yan, the oldest person next to Wei An, was naturally unhappy.
So I just hang around the little wolf cub, hoping to give myself a job title or something, and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by strangers.
After sending Xin Yan away, the little wolf cub still looked restless. I don't know what happened today, but he always felt very flustered.
Could it be that...the "Equipment Enhancement" plan I designed recently is too screwed up?
The equipment smelting plant was Liao Zixuan's focus project and was also a big money-maker. He secretly had a contract with Zhao Jie behind Vivian's back, and he would become a shareholder in the chamber of commerce, and he would get 10% of all profits earned.
Every qualified male...little wolf cub must have his own small treasury.
Because of this, in order to recharge his coffers, he was very motivated. During the past few days of observation, he discovered many areas that could be improved in the smelter.
One of the biggest problems can also be concluded from the reactions of players on the forum, that is, Zhao Jie still retains the traditional thinking that the forged equipment must be finished products.
?
If I don’t give you the finished product, why should I give you the semi-finished product?
At first, the little wolf cub thought it was incredible, with a question mark on his face, but later he realized that this is the difference between players and aborigines.
Because players have a "system", they are very sensitive to the quality of equipment at a glance, which makes it difficult to sell inferior finished equipment.
You may not be able to see it now, because players haven’t reached the level of excellence yet, but as players later acquire a set of equipment, there will definitely be a large amount of finished equipment that is unsalable, and everyone wants to wait a little longer for the next finished product. What would be better?
So the little wolf cub's strategy for this is...since players complain that finished equipment is expensive and there are no suitable ones, then I'll give you semi-finished products, or even "embryos"!
Then let the players buy it and strengthen it themselves!
Give a simple example.
It may be the same piece of equipment, but its final attributes are critical hit rate +3%, defense power +5, and attack power +19.
If it is a finished product, if all the attributes are listed, players will not buy it even if they kill it, because except for the first critical hit rate, the last two are too rubbish. They don’t even have a percentage, and they are the most rubbish fixed values.
But if it is a semi-finished embryo, only the first attribute of "critical hit rate" will be displayed. The last two attributes will not appear because they have not been forged yet.
In the eyes of players, this "embryo" is not only the best, but also definitely a hot commodity. It is a level that is snatched up instantly as soon as it appears.
As for subsequent players who spent money to strengthen their game, only to find that they were deceived and bored, that's another story.
Don't just think about the worst.
Maybe the first sub-attribute of the embryo is not good, but in fact, the subsequent enhanced sub-attributes are all top-notch?
In this way, no matter whether the current situation is good or bad, players will buy because of their expectations for the "unknown", which will greatly stimulate consumption and always ensure the vitality of the market.
In addition, the time and manpower required to forge a finished piece of equipment is too much, and the higher the quality, the more it increases exponentially.
On the contrary, if you just forge one "embryo", it will greatly save time and improve efficiency. As the quantity increases, the probability of producing the best products will also increase.
And players also get a low price, the price of the finished product is allocated to each enhancement, and they can stop losses at any time, as well as an "exciting" dog betting experience, the gameplay is greatly increased, it is a win-win situation!
At that time, Zhao Jie will be asked to provide players with an "equipment recycling" function, specifically used to recycle the junk equipment that players have strengthened and discarded. The ratio will be based on... hmm! Just one to four, four pieces of junk equipment, exchanged for a random embryo, it’s a hell of a lot of money! !
Ahem...
The little wolf cub calmed down his overly excited mood a little. Such a "conscience" welfare would definitely not be the reason for his current panic.
What exactly is that...
"Um!?"
When Liao Zixuan habitually opened the game forum, a prompt to update favorite posts popped up. He quickly clicked in and took a look...
[(Northern Cross Voyage) Progress update, we finally arrived at Thousand Islands! ! 】
In line with the eye-catching title, Yugegege was leaning against the armed battleship of the Northern Cross, using the in-game photo taking function to take a photo with Yueyuan Island.
Damn it!
Now the case is solved.
It turns out that the source of panic comes from here.
its not right.
He had obviously confirmed with Zhao Jie and there was no contact between the two, so why was he panicking?
Forget it, just think of it as a follow-up. After all, Liao Zixuan had never heard of this task in his previous life, and Vivian's subsequent travels will always have to return one day, so through this time It would also be good to have the opportunity to come into contact with Guili's forces.
After making up his mind, the little wolf cub set off immediately.
First, he sent Xinyan to Zhao Jie with the rough idea he had written about "equipment enhancement" and "recycling". After Zhao Jie went over the specific details, he set off immediately and made another monthly trip. Abyss Island.
...
...
Beach, sun, sea!
Wuhu~
Guili is a purely land-based country, so after Yu Gege and other Guili players arrived at Yueyuan Island and saw the refreshing island environment, they were naturally very excited and curious.
However, since the Northern Cross did not obtain formal diplomatic documents this time, it was considered a secret. Nan could not find anyone in a big way, so he could only investigate in private.
As one of the crew members, the players naturally received corresponding tasks.
[Ding, your "Northern Cross Voyage" mission status has been updated, and the current new goal is to become familiar with the environment]
【Familiar with the environment】
[Mission introduction: After nearly a month of sea travel, you finally arrived at Thousand Islands. From Nan’s words before, you vaguely learned that the purpose of this voyage was to find the father of Nan’s old friend. But as for more information, Nan didn’t tell you. Even after docking, he just asked you to ask around casually]
[Mission goal: Find clues about the "father of old friend" and report to Nan]
[Task tip: A lot of things seem to have happened on Yueyuan Island recently. Chat with the local aboriginals. You may be able to find some useful information]
"Ah this..." Yu Gege and other players looked at me and I looked at you, and they all looked a little speechless about this new mission.
"It seems that the eldest sister doesn't intend for us to interfere!"
The crew members of the Northern Cross quickly saw this from the mission.
Rather than saying that Nan asked them to investigate, it would be better to say that he just let them wander around Yueyuan Island casually.
I'm afraid Nan is still conducting the real investigation work himself.
"So, the father of this old friend is still a big shot?" Brother Yu analyzed with the players around him.
Judging from this month's sea voyage experience, their eldest sister probably wouldn't say that she didn't trust them and was so secretive in order to guard against them.
Sister Nan is not such a person. After all, they have experienced a lot together.
It must be mentioned here that Yugegege and other players on the Northern Cross will of course not spend this month purely on the ship and at sea. They will also stop at ports along the way for supplies.
There were even times when the eldest sister was afraid that they would be bored, so she would deliberately find a desert island and let them get off the boat to spend the night and camp. In short, many, many interesting things happened.
But at the moment, the reason why they are given such a somewhat superficial mission is probably because they don’t want newcomers like them from the Northern Cross to get involved.
Either the task is very dangerous, or the level is too high for them to participate.
Can...
Nan's idea is good, but unfortunately her new group of strangers are creatures called "players".
"No! We have to share the worries with the eldest sister!"
"Yes! No matter how dangerous the mission is, we are not afraid of it. We have to help Sister find such an important person quickly.'
"Get up, get up!"
The players reached a consensus in an instant and began to follow the task prompts to look for aboriginal passers-by near the pier in an attempt to ask for information.
However, after asking around, Yu GeGe and his party didn't gain much. The NPCs near the dock were basically all sailors and porters. These people didn't care much about current affairs, so naturally they didn't. Can't ask anything.
Just when the players were wondering whether they should secretly leave the dock area behind the eldest sister's back and go to a more prosperous area for in-depth investigation, suddenly...
"Eh? Look, that npc actually has a title above his head!"
The exclamation of one of the sharp-eyed players immediately attracted Yu GeGe and other Northern Cross Crew players. When they looked at the position of their fingers, they couldn't help but have strange expressions on their faces.
All they saw was that at the end of the pier connecting to the city center, exactly where the elder sister told them to move freely, a passerby man was standing there doing nothing, as if he was basking in the sun.
【Enthusiastic Citizen-Bai Sang】
groove!
Yugegege couldn't help but complain, what the hell is this title, but it was a complaint, but it was the Northern Cross players who were worried about finding a breakthrough, and they were like sharks that smelled blood, and rushed towards this NPC. past.
After all, they have this title, and you can tell with your own feet that this NPC must be specifically designed to handle their current mission, right?
Sure enough, as soon as the players approached, and before they even came forward to talk, the NPC named "Bai Sang" seemed to be aware of it and took the initiative to look towards the players' position.
"Hey! You guys, come over here!"
There's drama!
You found the right one!
Generally speaking, when an NPC takes the initiative to find you, the task process is triggered.
"Look at what you are like...are you from our Yueyuan Island? No, you are not even from Qiandao, are you? Are you from foreign countries?"
The players nodded for a while under Bai Sang's question, and this time they learned smartly. They no longer said that they were strangers, but said that they were traveling businessmen who had returned from Guili and wanted to do some business here, so they asked now. What is the situation on Yueyuan Island? Has anything major happened recently?
"That's it..."
When Yu Gege saw Bai Sang opposite, he nodded thoughtfully. What he said next made him feel happy and he quickly concentrated his attention.
"You've got to ask the right person! When it comes to the big things happening on Yueyuan Island, it's no exaggeration to say that when it comes to knowing everything, if I say I'm second, then no one will dare to say I'm first!"
Ignoring the NPC's bragging, Yu GeGe sighed that they were indeed enthusiastic citizens, and Bai Sang took them to chat for more than half an hour.
[Ding, through your communication with the "enthusiastic citizen-Bai Sang", you have roughly grasped the situation in Thousand Islands. There seems to be some key information in it. It is difficult for you to make a decision. Prepare to return to the Northern Cross to report to Sister Nan]
Seeing that the "Mission Completed" prompt finally appeared in front of them, the players quickly found an excuse to get away from this eloquent and enthusiastic citizen.
But what they didn't know was that after they turned and walked away, Bai Sang, who had been very enthusiastic just now, gradually calmed down and looked at their backs in deep thought.
In fact, when he saw the ID of "Yu Ge Ge", Liao Zixuan knew that this group of players was the person he was looking for. After that, he spent half an hour working on it. It seemed that he had been giving popular science to the players, but in fact Liao Zixuan was also there. Judging from the players' reactions, the person behind the players...Nan.
At present, it seems that Nan does not intend to let players participate in this matter... How can that be done!
As Liao Zixuan's natural spies, the more deeply the players can access confidential information, the more advantageous it will be for him. Therefore, after observing the progress of the players on the pier, he couldn't stand it any longer, so he took action.
Players relied on the system's task prompts to find out that the "father of old friends" may be related to recent major events.
So Liao Zixuan used the elimination method. Since Nan didn't tell you, he simply told the players everything that happened, and then asked the players to report to Nan, and then based on the reactions of subsequent players when they came back, he would approach and narrow down the scope step by step.
so...
Sanfeng is in chaos, the Winter Executor, the Water God is sleeping, and... the Astorogis.
Liao Zixuan will wait and see which event Nan will choose to let the players continue to follow.
Of course, I quietly added in my mind.
Just don't choose the last one.
Just as Bai Sang, an enthusiastic citizen, was waiting boredly for the players to come back and find him again, suddenly a familiar figure appeared in Liao Zixuan's sight.
That's a foreign player.
He was also an acquaintance whom Liao Zixuan never expected to appear here.
