Chapter 77 Reinforcements Arrive

"I definitely have to go, but there are a lot of things to pay attention to!"

"For example...?"

"For example, the battle between gods!" Su Mei's words hit the nail on the head.

"I have felt it for a long time. It seems that I am not the only one who speculated. There are really signs of a divine war!"

Su Mei nodded and said: "Everyone should have some feeling. The game has been running for several months, and the world view of "Zero" has been basically laid out. The details are easy to see! When I first started the game, it was basically In the era of personal leveling, we attributed it to human battles at that time! Starting from about mid-November last year, player guilds began to appear one after another, and until now this stage has not ended! We temporarily call this period guild wars or city wars Today is Tuesday, March 13, 1963. If nothing else, this battle will continue until mid-September. The main thing during this period is the annexation of various guilds by force, and there may also be some large-scale guilds mixed in during this period. They will attack each other!"

"When you say that, why does it feel like you are practicing Gu?"

"I can't help it if you understand it this way, but that's the fact! The operating company is deliberately promoting these processes, and the progress is obviously getting faster and faster! This city war period is mainly to eliminate some guilds that are 'fishing' in troubled waters. and establish several large-scale guilds that can dominate one side. Of course, this process will inevitably be a bit bloody."

"What happens after that? Isn't the national war postponed until the end of the year? Isn't there still a few months after September? What are you doing these few months? Waiting for the war to start?"

"No! In fact, these are the most troublesome months! There are two main tasks to be carried out in these months. One is the alliance between large guilds and further armed mergers! This work is mainly done after the national war begins. Before turning a country into a whole, after the national war began, if each country had only one leading guild or guild alliance, such a battle would be fierce. And there is a more important thing during this period, and that is intelligence. Collection and destruction of enemy countries! Basically, the snatching of national weapons should also be concentrated in this period, but countries seem to have started the spy war and counter-espionage war in advance! If nothing else, your last trip to Japan was a mess. The dog jumping should be the direct trigger for the intensification of this action!"

"That was caused by little Japan first, you can't blame me!"

"It's not like I'm asking you to plead guilty. What's your excuse? The fuse is the fuse. It's better to start early!"

"Go on! What about after the guild battle?"

"After the guild war, there will be a national war that the operator has introduced! This period is probably a multi-national melee. I don't know what the specific fight will be like and what the outcome will be. But one thing is for sure, that is, it will definitely happen. Transnational guilds appear!”

"Isn't it possible? How can transnational guilds win? There are over 100 million Chinese players. Even if they cannot be completely unified, I absolutely believe that the largest guild alliance during the National War will have tens of millions of people. If this happens again with other countries Merger of guilds?...Isn’t that going to create guilds with hundreds of millions of people?”

"I'm afraid this is inevitable! The melee will become more and more chaotic, and the expansion of strength after the alliance is obvious. Everyone is not stupid. Merger is the general trend when the interests are consistent. Sooner or later!"

"Then the divine battle you are talking about...?"

"The Divine War should be what happens after the national war turns into a melee between interest groups composed of several countries! During this period, a large number of NPCs should appear, guiding the super groups belonging to different systems in the form of tasks to quickly disintegrate, and then Reorganize into a new group and start the final melee. But I don’t know how this melee will end!”

After listening to Su Mei's words, and knowing a lot of inside stories that Su Mei didn't know, I already roughly understood how this melee was going to end! The final outcome must be economic changes caused by huge changes in the game, which will eventually lead to political changes and military actions. The final result can only be a major reshuffle of the world political landscape! Without the core inside story of Long Yuan, even someone with Su Mei's reasoning ability would not be able to understand the ultimate goal of this game. Dad and the others really have a big appetite! Now I finally understand how the bomb "Zero" works!

"Since it is determined that the final result will be a war between gods, does that mean that I can no longer offend the Western temple forces prematurely?"

"Not only that, you have to try to find ways to merge Chinese Taoism, Buddhism and the current Eastern Dark Temple forces, and at least let them form a certain alliance! We are Chinese, and China's characteristic professions are Taoist priests and Monks (I mean Chinese monks, not foreign monks), so the proportion of these two professions among Chinese players is not small. If the relationship between several religions in China is not managed well, then we will be in trouble in the future!"

"High! It's really high!"

"I'd rather not know anything! It's a virtue for a woman to be talentless. I'm a little envious of those ancient women who didn't know anything!" When Su Mei said this, she didn't feel like a teenager, but like a teenager. Ten years old!

"Are men and women equal? ​​The price of enjoying rights is to bear responsibilities! We can't have equal rights anymore, right? All the responsibilities are given to male compatriots?"

"Hey! I won't tell you this anymore! By the way, I just forgot to ask, is your level still full at level 599?"

"How did you know?" I'm still wondering! At the end of the second city battle, I was already at level 599. In the third city battle, I should kill two monsters to reach level 600, but unfortunately, I am still at level 599!

Su Mei dragged her chin and thought for a while! "Looks like we're in trouble again!"

"What's the matter?"

"Today I have received reports from many members saying that they have reached level 599! After this city battle, everyone's experience points have increased rapidly. Many people have been promoted to levels 70 or 80, and some of them were originally at a higher level. It’s reached 599, and many people have reached level 599!”

"Wait! You're not going to tell me that everyone is stuck here, are you?"

"That's the truth! At first, some people saw that they had reached level 599, so they were very anxious to upgrade to level 600. At level 600, you can make the third career change, and there will be many new skills at level 0 and level 400. Appeared, everyone believed that there would be a lot of new skills at level 600, so they were very anxious. However, some people went out to kill a few monsters but found that their experience points had not moved! At first, they thought it was an isolated phenomenon, but later they found that many people had encountered it. In the same situation, anyone who has reached level 599 can no longer upgrade! Now even you are the same. It seems that this is not a bug, because the upgrade requirements are not met!"

"Will there be an upgrade mission at level 600?"

"That's probably the case! But I think you should go get all the NPCs in this city first? The city defense battle has ended, which means that Essinger's trial run has been successful, and you can now apply to the system for the necessary npc service!"

"I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me! I'll go right away!"

In fact, NPC matters are easy to deal with. After leaving Essinger, I teleported directly to Leng Jade, and my target was the cute little Qing girl! (Mentioned in Volume 5, Chapter 29) When I arrived at the job transfer office, I trotted into the hall. The originally deserted lobby has now become even more deserted. It has been several months since the game started running, and there are not as many new players as there were at the beginning. Of course, there is no work for such low-level job transfer offices. Most of the new players have gone to big cities, and no one will visit small cities like Leng Jade!

"Little lazy pig! Get up!" I knocked on Xiaoqing's counter.

"Ah? Do you want to change jobs?" Xiaoqing got up in a daze from sleep. When he saw someone, he started to use the usual dialogue without paying attention to who it was!

"Hey! Are you awake?"

Xiaoqing then looked up at me: "Ah! It's you! I finally waited for you!"

I held out a hand: "Where's the list?"

"Oh! Wait a minute!" Xiaoqing immediately ran to the room behind the counter, and ran back after a while. She actually held a lot of scrolls in her hands. "Then, it's all here!"

He looked a little surprised at what he saw in front of him. "Why are there so many?" I originally thought it was just one or two chapters, but I didn't expect it would be more than a dozen scrolls!

"You ran in a hurry and didn't tell me clearly. I don't know who you want, nor the size of your city, so I had to divide the higher-level people according to the distribution of various industries and their technical levels. I’ve listed them for you, you can choose who you want specifically!”

"You are so awesome!" I picked up a scroll. The statue of this thing is like two rolling pins leaning against each other. The paper is wrapped around the middle shaft. As long as you grab the two wooden shafts with both hands and pull them, they can be unfolded. Once you let go, it can automatically retract! The volume I took happened to be a list of outstanding NPCs in the shipbuilding category, and there were many NPCs listed in it. The list is written vertically, with a row of NPC names at the top, and below each name there is a detailed introduction to the NPC, which is really detailed! As I watched, I stretched my hands to try and pull the back part away from the shaft, but soon discovered that my hands weren't long enough!

Xiaoqing came out from behind the counter and helped me pull the other end out, while I grabbed the scroll and walked while looking at the newly unfolded part. When I found that the scroll could no longer be pulled, I knew the list was over, but when I turned around, I saw that Xiaoqing had pulled the other end and stood under the opposite wall. I was only a few steps away from the end. The scroll is actually more than twenty meters long, what an exaggeration!

To be honest, the list is too long, and I tend to be spoiled for choice. I seem to have forgotten the previous ones. There is no way to take him back together first, let Xiaoqing wait with peace of mind!

After returning to the city, Su Mei had gone offline to sleep, so I had no choice but to call Vida over.

"The city lord is looking for me?"

"Yeah! Do you have a list of NPCs from the dark forces?"

"I only have a partial list of the army, and I don't know who is serving in the city! But the goddess should have it!"

"Go and get one for me! Wait, forget it, I'll go by myself!"

Directly use the teleportation ring to input the coordinates of the field. Although I don't know where Al Ni's team is, I still know the approximate location. There was no sign of the team after they appeared, but the traces on the ground showed that the army had just passed by! He quickly chased after him, saying that he would get a list of names with Al Ni no matter what. Although my city is a player city, it is relatively close to the Dark Temple after all. The list given by Xiaoqing is basically all NPCs in the cities affiliated with the Light Temple. Although these people are not all directly affiliated with the Temple of Light, since they can work in the city of the Temple of Light, they are at least neutral. I can't find all such NPCs. We are building a magic city after all, and NPCs from the dark forces are the first choice. !

Sure enough, the large army was not far ahead. The army composed of 3.5 million regular troops and 30 million zombies and skeletons was a bit scary. Al Ni was at the front of the team, but I was at the back. The long queue stretches for hundreds of miles, and you can imagine how spectacular it is! I was almost at Essinger when I caught up with Arni at the front of the team. If I had known, I would have come out of the city gate faster!

As soon as I talked to Al Ni, I easily got the NPC list. The system has regulations and players have the right to choose city NPCs. Although most players don't know this regulation, once the player requests it, the NPC cannot refuse! After getting the list, lead the army into the city! Thanks to Essinger's relatively large size, the army that entered the city was incredibly large. If so many people were packed into an ordinary city, it would probably be overwhelming!

The garrison of tens of millions of troops (including skeletons and zombies) cannot be wasted! Immediately ask Arni to mobilize them to help restore city construction. The last time we fought monsters, we were opportunistic and didn't finish the city. This time the city's trial run is over, and we won't be able to finish it!

After settling down the army of the Dark Temple, the next step was the arrival of swarms of giant dragons. It seemed as if both sides had agreed that when Al Ni arrived, the dragons would follow suit! Thousands of giant dragons stood in a row on the city wall, and all the commanding heights in the city were occupied by giant dragons!

Of course, the two distinguished guests, Dragon King and Al Ni, cannot be neglected. Fortunately, Essinger also has many high-end facilities. There are many high-end guest rooms in the guild residence below the Juling Tower. After settling the two of them, I ran to the top of the Juling Tower alone. , start data retrieval!

The list given by Al Ni was larger than that of Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing's list had been searched at least, and ordinary NPCs were not listed. However, Al Ni's list was super huge. The entire China area was under the control of the Dark Temple. There are as many as 130 million non-combat NPCs. Looking at them one by one will definitely kill someone! Fortunately, I have more people! Call Amynis, Wei Na, Ling, Grandina and Scott, all 10 of them, to help turn over the documents!

Considering that there are still not enough people, I brought my cavalry brigade up to help with the fight! Fortunately, the system has just been upgraded, and the NPCs are very intelligent. They basically understood it as soon as I got to know them! First of all, the screening method, everyone selects the people who they think are more powerful. This work continued until about 3 o'clock the next morning. People could be seen writing and drawing with a stack of lists from top to bottom in the entire Juling Tower. There were people everywhere on the spiral staircase in the tower!

The final screening result was that 130,000 NPCs were selected, which makes the workload much smaller! He sent out the cavalry, left the demon servants and magic pets to help, and used the elimination method to work on it for a few more hours. At around 6 o'clock in the morning, I finally got a list of more than 30,000 people, plus the NPCs found by Xiaoqing, which I personally handled, and finally retrieved 40,000 elite NPCs. Of course, Essinger couldn't use so many people, so it had to endure the pain and continue to lay off people. The final number of people admitted was 31,219, including NPCs like Xiaoqing and Clark who opened the back door!

After getting the list of these personnel, I apply to the system for NPC transfer orders. I am now the city lord, and there is a city management item in my 'operation' column. Open the NPC application option and choose to apply now. The system prompt immediately sounded: "The city NPC application system has started, please provide city-related information!"

"Confirm your designation!"

"Please submit the declaration list!"

I started reading directly from the final list in my hand. The system only required NPC numbers. It took me two hours to read the numbers, and my eyes almost became cross-eyed! After reporting more than 30,000 names, there were about 20 mistakes. This is pretty good. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself. There are more than 30,000 numbers, each with 32 digits. Read it and see if you make a few mistakes! The city is really tiring. Other guilds can only use a few hundred auxiliary NPCs, but Essinger actually costs more than 30,000!

In fact, there are more than this number of NPCs in a city. This time I chose only auxiliary NPCs, which are the NPCs that every player must see frequently. These people are generally NPCs such as blacksmiths, merchants, craftsmen, and system clerks. Every player basically needs to go to them frequently to buy leveling supplies or go through some procedures. The largest proportion of NPC groups in the city are actually not within the designated range. Those NPCs that simulate the bustling market scenes on the streets are basically special NPCs. They often have some "messy" tasks or rewards, not all of them. Players all need to talk to them! For example, the old man who was about to turn into a zombie when I transferred to Soul Mage last time was a typical miscellaneous NPC. They only target individual players or are only useful to a certain player! These types of NPCs are randomly spawned by the system, and they often change. For example, the old man I met asked me to take his heart to be purified, and he was gone. In the future, the system will spawn a different NPC to replace him.

It was almost past 8 o'clock when everything ended, and I had no choice but to quit and say goodbye to everyone. The matter is over, everyone must go to their own places! Of course I still go back to base, it’s already noon, and I hurry up and get online.

This girl Su Mei actually came up too.

"Have you finished applying for all NPCs?" Su Mei asked me, looking at the people in the city.

"These are not all NPCs in our city. The troops from the Dark Temple arrived last night. Those wearing armor are all troops from the Dark Temple!"

"Yes, with these defenses it won't be a problem!"

"Su Mei!" A player from our guild ran over, picked up Su Mei, spun her around twice and kissed her twice before putting her down. Of course she is a woman, it is not easy to find a man in our guild!

Su Mei spent a lot of effort to escape from the clutches of the devil, and being too cute is also a sin! "Sister Meimei, what are you going to do?" Su Mei has a photographic memory, and people who have seen her will never forget it!

"Oh! The president is here too!" Dizzy! What a look! "Su Mei, look at this!"

A property column suddenly appeared in front of us, and it was obviously the girl named Mingmei. I immediately saw the problem. "Are you level 600?"

"Yes!" She smiled and nodded.

"How did you get up there?" Su Mei asked the question I was most concerned about.

Meiliang said excitedly: "I suddenly saw a lot of NPCs when I went online this morning. Then I asked an NPC who the old npc was. She said that she was a refugee. She heard that a new city was established, so Come here to see if there is any way to live here. She said that I was a very nice person and told me that her family had some ancestral secrets and that she knew the location of some treasures. She asked me to get them for her. Then she She will thank me. That secret is actually a mission. There is really a cave in the place she mentioned. There are not many monsters in it, but they are all of high levels. Thanks to me and a few sisters, I went there, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get out. ! Later, I fought all the way to the bottom of the cave and found a crystal ball. I picked it up and saw that it was a mission item. Later, I gave the crystal ball to the old lady. She said she wanted to repay me and gave me a crystal ball. I don’t know what kind of potion the bottle is. I didn’t have any reaction after drinking it, so I thought I was fooled, but when I went out of the city to carry construction materials, I cleaned up a few monsters and upgraded them!"

"It is indeed a promotion mission!" Su Mei nodded: "It seems that we need to organize those people who have reached level 599 to find promotion missions!"

"It's not about organization. After all, it's impossible for everyone to advance through the same mission. We just need to organize people to help those who receive the mission complete the mission!" I said a little frustrated: "I don't know my mission NPC Where is it!"
