"This is the best smithy shop in town, if you have any damage to your weapons, remember to come here to maintain them."

"You can buy your breakfast tomorrow from here. The bakers here used to come from the royal capital and are very skilled. ”

"This is the place to buy clothes. It's snowing, so you should prepare your winter clothes. If you don't like that, there's another one down the street in front of you. ”

"This is the Rotten Fish Bar. It sells a bitter beer called 'Danifny', which is said to be brewed with charred wheat and is very nutritious and a specialty of the cold water port. You can taste it, but don't drink too much. ”

"This is ......"

Annan rode on a horse, like a tour guide, and introduced the various "special buildings" of Frozen Water Harbor to the players behind him. Just like an old Beihai man who lived in the frozen water port for a long time.

But of course it can't. He's been here for less than three days.

This is because Annan knew in advance that the players were coming, so he specifically asked Senior Salvatore about it.

At this time, no player dares to go distracted to the forum.

They were attentive, looking around, trying to remember the route through the city gates and the location of the various important buildings.

Annan also understands very well, he knows very well which buildings players care about, so the questions are also very targeted. His introduction to the players now is always to the point.

Players are particularly concerned about the place to buy consumables, the place to buy and repair weapons and armor, the place to receive quests and find clues, and the place they use to live.

In other places, the players neither cared nor urgently needed, and Annan didn't ask. It's better not to introduce it for the time being, as an easter egg and wait for players to discover it themselves.

When Annan set up the player's permissions before, he also learned that the way the players entered this world was completely different from his own - they were sucked in in a pure consciousness way, and the real body slept in another world.

When they go offline, their bodies lose consciousness and fall asleep.

It's like a soul, going back and forth between two bodies.

In order to prevent people from suddenly falling headlong while fighting monsters, and then continue to die in a stunned state after resurrection, Annan specially set the permission to go offline only in "safe areas where you can sleep peacefully...... To put it more explicitly, you can only get offline if you lie in a bed in a safe area.

The materials used by players to make characters come from Annan's side. That's why Annan was able to adjust their physical pain.

Considering that they live in a peaceful world, in order to prevent them from being afraid of fighting, Annan specially adjusted their pain perception to one-third by default, and turned on the "battle intuition" so that they would not look too stupid in their first battle.

On the premise that the attributes completely crush the opponent, they don't feel too much pain, and they can have combat instincts like a veteran, plus their own understanding of the game...... If you can't complete the initial mission.

Then Annan will directly dismiss all this group of wastes and re-recruit them.

Recruiting players was not entirely cost-free for Annan. But the price was low, to the point where he had no scruples for the time being.

In the background interface of his system, every time a player is summoned or a player is revived, the value of "consumed materials" will fluctuate upwards. Summoning players consumes a lot of material, and resurrection uses very little material - after all, players aren't actually dead in some sense.

When they die, their bodies turn to ashes and crumble. Then drift to another opponent and regroup.

But the problem is that there seems to be no upper limit to this "consumed material".

Because in Annan's system backend page, there is no attribute of "leftover material" at all.

It's as if it's infinitely creditable.

Just like the cat version of Mario, the health can be reduced to a negative number and can continue to decrease......

By the time the players were first summoned, the "consumed materials" had risen to 40. But after the players entered this world, the bright red value kept beating and falling down one by one, and in a few seconds it fell back to 0 again.

And every time the player dies, it will continue to jump to 1 and then immediately return to 0.

This is also the reason why Annan immediately decided to add a resurrection restriction to players.

I don't know what the mechanics of this thing are, and I don't know what the materials it consumes are, but anyway, I'll save it for now......

The price of resurrection was indeed very low for Annan, and the death of ten people at the same time could not rise to a whole number. But if there are more players in the future, no one will value their lives...... Maybe by then, Annan will start to lose balance.

Thinking about the future, Annan immediately decided to let players develop the habit of cherishing life from the very beginning.

This plan is strong, but very cautious:

Now that you're dead, I may lose ......

Then I just need to make you die more so that you don't let me lose.

Annan's logic is very clear and practical.

Resurrection is a convenient privilege after all, and if the players are afraid of death, it will be like a broken sword with a broken blade, and there is no threat at all.

The player's arrogance, persistence, and fearlessness are all based on the premise that they can be resurrected after death. So Annan just put a shackle on them, so that they cared more about life and would not die at will without scruples, but he did not prohibit this "file reading mechanism".

That's enough.

The adaptability of the players is very high. In different games, they will have different levels of focus and different survival/combat strategies.

Not really...... Just use the first task to filter.

Annan thought about it and added a rule:

In the future, any player who is unable to complete the initial mission will be judged to be unable to survive in this world and will be kicked out of the game.

After all, the number of players he can recruit now is limited. Although the players have a considerable degree of growth, it is clear that Annan understands the relationship between them very well:

It was they who begged Annan to let them in, not Annan who begged them to play.

Can you do any other planning?!

“…… This is the shrine of the god of trade, the Silver Sirre. If you have a wound, you can come here for treatment, but remember to bring money. In front of the silver coin, everyone is equal. ”

Annan introduced the players to the last building they needed to care about, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and said casually: "Next is your residence......"

"All men are equal before the silver coin—that's a good one, I wrote it down."

A gentle voice sounded coldly from Annan's side.

It's Priest Louis.

Does this guy walk without a sound......

Annan quickly reacted, nodded to the young priest who was too tall, and greeted respectfully: "The silver lord is on top...... Peace and well, Priest Louis. I didn't expect you to wake up quite early. ”

Seeing Annan's attitude towards him so well, Louis was also a little surprised.

After all, in general, the church and the lord are in a competitive and mutually restrictive relationship. Even the temporary mayor of the town, Salvatore, lived with Luis in the east and west of the city in order to avoid trouble.

Naturally, Annan knows this...... His books these days are not in vain.

In King Noah's share, the lords were divided by the king, and the dioceses were determined by the church.

Both sides need to collect taxes from the population, and the orders are authoritative; Neither side can interfere in the policies of the other; Each side also has the power to supervise and report the other...... This made the royal capital nobles and the church of the Silver Lord in many regions almost enemies.

The clergy had the power to heal the people, and they would help with the work when they received money. And Yinjue is the one who advocates "smiling business" the most among all the righteous gods, and their priests can also rank in the top three in their attitude towards civilians among all the righteous gods, and can even compete for the first place.

From the perspective of the people at the bottom, the church will undoubtedly be much closer to them. And the merchants also got closer to the Church of Silver Lord, because the existence of the church would magnify the power of wealth in their hands.

There are a few territories where the liege is almost completely elevated by the Church...... Their orders could not even be handed down, and in some places they were so disgraced that they could not even collect their taxes. Therefore, many lords have made the church their first enemy to fight.

But Priest Louis also quickly realized Annan's kindness, so he also responded gently: "Silver Lord, I also wish you good health, Lord Lord."

"I sensed that someone was fighting, so I managed to get up. Now it seems that the battle is over. ”

"Yes."

Annan nodded, his expression a little serious: "It's good that my guards just came back...... Otherwise, we're in trouble. ”

"It's really good guards."

Louis glanced at it, and replied half admiringly and half flatteringly.

He looked at Annan's face and guessed softly, "It's still ...... The one from Roseburg? ”

"Hmm."

Annan nodded.

Louis frowned slightly: "He's gone too far." Let's not mention it...... I'll go to you when it's dawn, and I'll talk about it in detail when the time comes. Your lord, several of your guards were not lightly wounded. I'm going to treat them first......"

He looked at Annan and smiled slightly: "For your sake, you can get a nine-percent discount." ”

Annan also smiled when he heard this.

In fact, Annan did not show kindness to the Church, but he had respect for Priest Louis himself.

He learns from Senior Salvatore that the Priest Luis would come to such a remote town just to cleanse it of the curse - a very dangerous job.

On the basis of completing this work, he also worked hard to revitalize the economy of Lyoshui Port and make people's lives better......

Contrary to what the townsfolk understood, this was not something that Priest Louis had to do. Whether it is to treat the townspeople or maintain the economic system here, it is the job of the "priests" to do.

And he is a substitute. Originally, he only needed to cleanse the nightmare.

Even if he doesn't care about anything, as long as he doesn't let the nightmare here spread, he won't be reprimanded by the Church, and he will even be rewarded.

He will be distracted to do such "superfluous things", undoubtedly because of his own character and moral cultivation.

He didn't even explain it to the townspeople. Instead, he naturally accepted these jobs that did not belong to him......

Just for this virtue was enough for Annan to say hello to him.

It's always a good thing to have a good old man with good moral character as a colleague.

And the most convenient thing is that it is also convenient to direct......

"Something for you...... Of course, I'll pay. ”

Annan smiled and said, "I'll place the rest of my entourage with you." My guards have just arrived at Frozen Water Harbor and have nowhere to stay. I'll have to help you arrange it......"

“…… Looks like I won't have to sleep tonight. ”

Priest Louis sighed, chuckled and nodded, and instructed the players, "Then come with me." You spend the night with me, and I'll find you a place to stay tomorrow before dinner. ”

finally lost this big burden, and Annan was also relieved.

It was past two o'clock in the morning. The players are energetic, but he's already a little sleepy......

But at this time, Salvatore should have finished analyzing the black fire, right?

With a silent sigh, Annan hurried to Salvatore's house.

What time will he be able to sleep today......
