Chapter 106 Doubts
"Dragonborn, is the information confirmed?"
The blond human player with the game ID of [White Light Competition - Nyarlathotep] spoke first and asked the elf in a blue robe in front of him and a long staff on his back.
Hearing his words, several players around him also stopped their movements and looked at the elf in unison.
"Of course, I am 80% sure that with the pace of the Blood Lion Mercenary Group, the team escorting the secret supplies will arrive here as soon as tonight."
Looking around, the last dragonborn nodded confidently.
Most of these people are professional players in the White Light Club. Before the last Dragonborn resigned, he served as their colleague and captain for a period of time.
After he terminated his contract with the club, the captaincy fell to the human mage player in front of him, [Nyarlathotep].
Compared with elves, human talents are also suitable for spellcasters.
Although they do not have the extraordinary bloodline of the elves, humans have the innate skill of [quick learning].
This ability can increase the speed of learning new skills and increase the proficiency of all skills by 1.15 times.
Perhaps the spellcasting strength bonus alone is not as good as the Elf talent, but the advantage is that the effect is more comprehensive.
Unlike ordinary players, because they are using the precious internal beta slots provided by the club, all game content for professional players is a task list that has been arranged in advance.
For example, test certain game mechanisms, explore maps in a large area, collect background information and high-level NPC information of major camps, confirm in advance which maps are suitable for leveling, and where rare equipment and tasks may be hidden, etc.
It's not so much a game as it is work.
Now, the reason why they can spare their precious working time to help the last dragonborn with tasks is because his tasks may unlock the reputation of the high-level camp in advance.
The club has judged that the value of helping the elves with this task is higher than their current task arrangements.
As for the last dragonborn who provided the mission information, since the club specially sent professional players to help him complete the mission, the main mission reward was also his, so there was no additional reward for him.
Previously, after a series of careful investigations, the Last Dragonborn gradually discovered that the water behind this mission that he accidentally received while rushing was actually very deep.
Not to mention anything else, when he was investigating the whereabouts of the missing mercenaries, he was keenly aware that something was not right in the atmosphere several times, and tried every means to cover it up.
As he investigated, the completion rate of the 'Tracing' mission quickly rose to 100%. After the rewards were settled, a new system prompt popped up again.
[System prompt: The ‘Tracing’ mission is completed, you have gained 250,000 experience points! 】
[You trigger the B-level mission ‘Suspicious Cloud’]
[Mission introduction: The mysterious disappearance of the mercenary group escorting supplies revealed more obscure information. What is the truth behind the thick fog?
Note: Depending on the player's choices in this mission, the plot development will change accordingly. Please choose carefully. 】
[Mission goal: Find the whereabouts of the ‘Epee’ mercenary group. 】
[Task reward: 1,000,000 experience points]
[Completion: 0%]
The night after the 'Trace' mission ended, the elf found an unnamed warning letter on the table in his hotel room. Inform him to stop all investigations immediately, otherwise he will bear the consequences!
This moment attracted the interest of the last dragonborn. Originally, he was not too concerned about this task, but after receiving this warning letter, the importance of this task was immediately raised to the highest level in his mind.
He noticed an interesting detail. The paper of the warning letter was very smooth, and it was not ordinary animal skin paper, but made of a special plant.
Out of professional habit, the Last Dragonborn had dedicated a portion of his time in the past few months to research the background information of this world, which gave him a certain understanding of the behavior patterns of NPCs.
Bandits who were born as civilians and some ordinary mercenary groups would definitely not be able to obtain such high-end gadgets.
Even if you occasionally get a few pieces of paper, it is impossible to write letters exclusively on this expensive paper.
Moreover, these roughnecks have no habit of using warning letters - if this job is left to them, he will be blocked in a certain road by one or several masked men on a dark and windy night. In a dark alley.
Then, everyone knows...it's nothing more than blasting a monster or being blasted by a monster.
To sum up, there are only two possible identities of the sender - the noble class, and the regular army of the empire.
Only these guys who rely on their status and want to show that they are different from civilians will use this relatively 'formal' method of threat.
While explaining the specific mission information to the professional players, the Last Dragonborn himself was also thinking.
Why do ordinary mercenaries need to be used to escort the secret supplies of the White Rose Legion?
If it was to deceive others, then who were they guarding against? Who do they need to guard against?
After receiving the threatening letter, the elf changed his approach. He no longer blatantly investigated the whereabouts of the missing mercenaries. Instead, he transformed into a foreign rogue mercenary and secretly investigated the local black market and mercenary union.
After deliberately raising the favorability of several NPCs, I based on some rumors heard in the black market and fragments of information revealed by some side tasks.
The Last Dragonborn deduced that a new batch of 'secret supplies' was about to arrive at Manelchenko.
The missing mercenaries are probably related to these ‘secret materials’.
In this case, if we intercept this batch of materials, we will definitely be able to trigger a bigger mission!
For example, a mission to open a high-level camp that is strong enough to be guarded by the White Rose Legion——
So, the last dragon descendant, who felt that he was still not stable alone, simply called a few friends from the original club.
According to the intelligence in his hands, the last dragon descendant was confident that the White Light Club would cooperate with his actions.
The information about the mission that may open a high-level camp is extremely valuable, enough to make the club agree to support him with some manpower.
Moreover, if they are escorting some very rare materials, the club will also accept it with a smile, and maybe they will adjust the strategy after the official opening of the server to develop this place into a resource point.
As the person who discovered this place, he will also have a share of the resources here in the future.
Due to the 100-fold experience of the internal test, the average level of all players has risen to level 57 or 58 at this time.
They are all top-notch professional players, and they are also capable of fighting even when facing a group of monsters around level 60.
As long as we can get the key mission information, even if we die once during the closed beta test, what does it matter?
After all, this is just a game.
