Chapter 444 Promotion and the Truth
"Hey, have you heard? The Silver Blue E-sports Guild is recruiting people! I heard that as long as you complete the task, you can get a salary, and it's settled in cash!"
In the busy streets of Dawn City, two players stood under the silver-gray street lights on the street, looking at the vehicles with a strong fantasy atmosphere, and chatting casually.
"Are you talking about the recent task of promoting the construction network? Hasn't it been spread all over the forum?"
Listening to his companion's words, another player nodded.
"The top 2,000 players in the promotion rankings can each get a guaranteed red envelope of 3,000 or equivalent game materials, and the top 100 will get extra red envelopes. Now the number of registered participants has reached nearly 100,000!"
"Tsk tsk, it's really a big deal. This wave of rewards must cost at least nearly 10 million. I don't know what these rich people are looking for."
"Anyway, they are just stupid and rich. It's great to be rich..."
After a few sour comments, the two turned around and left to continue doing the unfinished tasks.
At the same time, it was not only these individual players who were wondering about their purpose. The strategic analysis teams of the two major e-sports clubs, Baiguang and Xingchen, were also wondering about this matter.
What kind of task did the people of Silver Blue receive that was worth such a large investment?
After all, this behavior looked like working for NPCs for nothing.
The news that the war between high-level prophet masters was about to enter a white-hot stage was still blocked in the high-level circle. Except for some special NPCs, the outside world was still unclear.
Similarly, due to the information gap, the two major clubs that did not receive the news were also curious about why Silver Blue suddenly promoted the construction network at almost no cost.
Judging from the other party's almost cost-free investment, the task that the people of Silver Blue E-sports got should be some kind of time-limited task, and at least at the level of the mainland main plot, otherwise it would be unworthy of the cost.
Similarly, if the people of Silver Blue really accomplished this task with such a large initial investment, then the strength of the other party would probably rise to a new level in an instant.
For this reason, in order to find a way to obstruct the other party, the people of the other two clubs have used extraordinary means including internal response, intending to investigate the true cause and effect of this matter.
But this time, the Silver Blue Club did a surprisingly good job of keeping secrets.
Although the insiders of both sides obtained some valuable information, many people obtained different information, and even conflicted with each other.
In desperation, both sides had to try to find answers in the game, using all the current NPC character relationships in the game to try to find out relevant information.
This also includes trying to contact the last dragonborn of Avis.
Previously, due to the attack of the Door in the Eye, the crystal ball in the elf's hand temporarily lost contact with Avis.
After completing the job transfer task with difficulty and breaking through to level 40, he also took the opportunity to try to find Avis and try to trigger the next task.
But he was stopped outside the door by the guards of the Olivendi family because Avis was in danger and it was inconvenient to meet guests.
In desperation, considering that the core of the current version is concentrated in the Itel Federation, and there are more tasks and opportunities, the elf also came here to develop, and has now reached level 43.
At this time, due to the request of the kitten Tiramisu, the last dragonborn once again tried to contact Avis with a try mentality.
What surprised him was that the magic crystal ball flashed and successfully connected!
However, unlike usual, the figure on the other side was wearing a black cloak and his face was not clear. And the background environment was also very dim, and it seemed to be in a special state.
"... Who are you?"
At the same time, Anvis was sitting in the study of the Embers headquarters, looking at the last dragonborn with his head in a fish tank with goldfish opposite the crystal ball, a little speechless.
He always thought that the planner who designed this fashion was crazy and wanted to pull the players' brains into the water.
"Dear An... Your Excellency, I am your most loyal follower Rivers! In the days when I had to leave you, I miss your glorious deeds and majestic figure all the time! Even in my dreams..."
After a little pause, because he suspected that the other party was in a special occasion where he needed to hide his identity, the elf turned his mind and forced a change of words at the last moment, skipping the other party's address, just using the title of Your Excellency, and blowing rainbow farts at the same time.
At the same time, he quickly cancelled the fashion NPC display effect and revealed his face.
"...Okay, Rivers, shut up."
Hearing the twitching of his eyes, Avis raised his right hand slightly, signaling the elf to stop.
"Tell me, why did you contact me?"
"Dear sir, actually it's like this, I want to ask you about the construction network that has suddenly begun to spread rapidly recently, whether there are any special changes behind this..."
Getting Avis's approval, the elf hurriedly explained the purpose of his visit as concisely and clearly as possible.
"The recent explosive spread of the construction network? Isn't it all caused by you foreigners."
Immediately understanding the elf's purpose, Avis glanced at him sideways, pretending to be confused.
"No... I mean, they shouldn't suddenly send a large number of people for no reason and promote it quickly at all costs.
Obviously, as long as the promotion is normal, the effect will be the same, but it will take more time, and the cost will be enough to reduce to one tenth of the current level, or even lower. "
The elf raised his hand to touch his nose with an awkward expression, but only touched the glass of the fish tank.
"A very good question. Being able to see this shows that your perspective is higher than most people."
Nodding, Avis did not continue to pretend to be confused, but directly gave the answer he needed.
"The answer to this question involves the nature of the war in the Federation. The war in the Federation is essentially a war between high-level prophets for the only chance to break through.
The Construction Network, the Glory Alliance, and the Resistance Organization are the three main forces currently supported by the prophets. "
"Behind the Construction Network stands the high-level prophets of the Federal Parliament. Their goal is to spread the network as much as possible, before the other parties, so that it can affect the fate of more federal residents.
But now, the rebels' occupation range has approached 30%, and the Patikalan Agreement is about to expire. Once the agreement expires, the federal countries will lose their last insurance.
At that time, it will not be like now, where only some small and medium-sized kingdoms are fighting each other, but a full-scale war that will truly affect most of the kingdoms in the entire federation. "
"At that time, the prophet behind the rebels who caused all this to happen will receive a lot of fate feedback and will be one step closer to a breakthrough.
On the contrary, the party that constructs the network may seriously slow down the speed of network popularization or even regress due to the war.
So, what they lack most now is actually time. "
Looking at the last dragon descendant who received too much information and could not handle it for a while, Avis suddenly changed the subject.
"However, Rivers, the answer to this question is not without cost.
Now, I have a task here that needs to be handed over to you. "
For the current situation, he has some arrangements, which just need to use the power of these player groups.
Something unexpected happened during the day today, so I can only update it at night.
