Chapter 37: Contacts
After going offline, Qingyi has been dominated by great sorrow and has no interest in doing anything.
The muzzle of his colleague Harry's gun is still vivid.
Qingyi was once so close to death, and every time he thought of him, he couldn't help but be afraid. How fragile life is, a single bullet can put an end to it completely. Two bullets grazed his body in succession, which is the danger of death twiceβtwice! He had two close encounters with the Grim Reaper!
If you die, you can't come back.
The thought that he would fall into the darkness of ignorance and unconsciousness, and that all the things he had now would be erased, Qingyi couldn't help but tremble. He considered himself a possessive man, and for him there was no punishment more terrible than the loss of everything. When you die, you will forget the people you love, the people you hate, the motherland, the times you lived in, and the idea of the present.
Erase everything, this is death.
He really can't wait to live in online games. Why isn't life a game? Even if you die, you can be resurrected by clicking "OK", breathing fresh air again, and facing the bright sun again, what a wonderful thing!
"What should I do?" Qingyi asked herself. For the first time, he felt so quiet in the house, so much space, that it made him feel lonely. The display glowed cold, white, and the holographic helmet emitted a low, faint humming sound unhurriedly.
At this moment, someone in the bottom of my heart said, "What am I afraid of?" Don't let others take control of 'my' life, go and end other people's lives! Turn all despair and sorrow into strength, kill, destroy, plunge the world into war and chaos, and let everyone share the pain with 'me'! β
Immerse your mind in the killing? This is not the solution, it is still self-anesthesia. Qingyi took a few deep breaths, and his eyes suddenly became a little stronger. Calm down, be calm. Death is terrible, but I don't show pity in front of it. I can't overcome death, but I can overcome myself.
He drank half a glass of water to stabilize himself. He opened the forums and wandered through the posts, forcing himself to concentrate.
At the top of the list is a half-hour report of the faction clash missions that have just been released by Jonny, the Knight of the Adjudicator, and Perls, the Dusk Wisher. During the liquidation, Jonny pursued Pers and fought so fiercely that both were wounded. As soon as Pels arrives in the nearest town to post a mission, a creature player who wants to switch sides steps forward to fight against the "Knights of the Iron Hoof". Whistle shooter Oliver Quinn issued a quest in place of Jonny, and those who could kill Perce would get a low-grade soul gear (dark gold gear), so many players responded. At the same time, the countless dark chess pieces of the Twilight Sect were exposed, and they even had a numerical advantage, forcing Oliver to use his teacher's reputation to plead with the guards of the major towns to encircle and suppress the necromantic creatures.
The other is a very popular post, which is "On the Advantages and Disadvantages of the Necromantic Race" released by the gossip sect leader this morning, and the number of hits has exceeded 300,000. The post is accompanied by a large number of videos and pictures, and the analysis of the necromantic race is very detailed. The shortcomings of the necromantic creatures are obvious, that is, they are limited by daylight and restrained by the light; But there are many advantages, not only do you not need to eat or drink, you don't need to sit down to rest to recover your strength or stay in a hotel, you are not afraid of low-level venom and physical negativity, you can enter and exit the oxygen-free environment at any time, and you can see in the dark without lighting tools...... This calculation not only saves money for food, water, torches, but also time; You can worry less about it in battle, and it also expands the field of activity! It's clear that necromantic creatures are the best for pro gamers! Professional players of the Necronomicon race can save more money while putting more energy into fighting monsters and explosive equipment, and can make more profits than professional players of the Necromantic race! Although the current environment is not suitable for the development of necromantic players, in the near future, the system will definitely make up for the necromantic camp, and interested professional players may wish to open a small account to join now.
"I didn't expect that." Qingyi fantasized a little about the future trend: professional gamers rest during the day and work at night, and they all turn their biological clocks upside down. The gossip leader is one of the better professional gamers (he earns money by paying for posts), and his words are undoubtedly very credible, and it is believed that no less than 50,000 people will join the family of necromantic creatures because of this analysis post.
Another video was posted ten minutes ago: the gossip leader noticed the change in the "Waiting City" and rushed from Snow City to make a special feature on the World Tree. For this unparalleled landscape, all the followers expressed great insight and must go to the site to worship. It seems that in the future, the "city of waiting" can also be a tourist city.
After feeling calm again, Qingyi puts on his helmet and logs into the game.
The immediate priority is to ensure that the Twilight Church is safe and sound. Perls is trying hard to survive, but a single sect cannot stand up to state power, so Qingyi must provide support. To this end, he took an airship and rushed to Snow City. When he landed, he saw buildings in the street that were different from the Necromantic style.
Witch Shop: This is a witch-owned magic shop that offers a variety of magic items with witch characteristics. Increases the prosperity of the city by 5, increases the popularity by 10, and provides a tax of 1,500-18,000 gold coins per month. 10 units of wood and 10 units of stone are required.
Witch's Hut: A place to turn into a witch. It can provide job transfer services for players and NPCs, and release a large number of quests for the witch class. Increase the prosperity of the city by 20, increase the popularity by 30, and provide 2,000-30,000 gold in taxes every month. 15 units of wood and 15 units of stone are required. A unique building that cannot be built repeatedly.
Bat Loft: A building used by witches to raise bats. Can provide postal service for players and NPCs. Increases the prosperity of the city by 3, increases the popularity by 5, and provides a tax of 500-60,000 gold coins per month. Requires 7 units of wood, and daily Monster feed. A unique building that cannot be built repeatedly. Current bat count (23/50). Expandable.
Interestingly, while the Bat Loft offers very little prosperity and popularity, it does offer a significant maximum amount of taxes. It seems that the service industry is indeed more profitable than agriculture and manufacturing, and the development of the tertiary industry is the top priority of Snow City.
Qing Yi came to the City Lord's Mansion in Snow City, asked the respectful City Lord to sit on the left-hand side, and then summoned the three liaisons. In the face of the invitation of the White Bone Tyrant, the three allies were still very face-saving, and immediately rushed to the scene and sat down separately.
"Are you still used to living there?" Qingyi asked.
"It's still habitual, but eating is a problem. Necro creatures don't need to eat, but we ...... You get the idea. "The answer was the person in charge of the blood elves, a very handsome young offspring. He is the Blood Elves' second-in-command in the forces of necromancy, and has full authority over matters when Clavisol is away. "We've given adventurers a quest to collect meat, but fresh meat is perishable in a necromantic environment."
"That's right!" Werewolf Ethan Gren interjected, agreeing. He pretended to retch, his face full of bitterness: "Snow City is close to the sea, what kind of meat can adventurers get?" Not all seafood? It doesn't take much strength to eat fish! Where to eat pork and beef? β
Qingyi waved his hand and said, "I'll talk to Brian and ask him to send the city construction team to build a lifeless cellar for you to store food." In addition, the construction of vegetable markets, greenhouses, and animal nests has also been put on the agenda, and the professional team of breeders and animal trainers is about to complete the training. Of course, because of the limited conditions, the food must be limited. β
"It's good enough, we're satisfied." Blood elves and werewolves interceded.
"So, there's no use at work, right?" Qingyi asked again.
"There have been a lot of people coming to Snow City recently, so business is good." Ethan Gren laughed, a mouthful of wolf teeth against the white light.
The blood elf queen also said: "Yes, because most of the tourists are living creatures, the entertainment and catering industries we have opened are very popular. β
"We're also selling very good magic items." Witch Ida Dao. Just by listening to her voice, she was more like a man than the other two men. She sat with a sword on her face, and no one would believe that she was a witch and not a warrior.
After greeting a few people, Qingyi went straight to the point: "Everyone has heard about the recent incident of the 'Knights of the Iron Hoof' Xieyastant, right?" My subordinates are under siege, and I hope you will send your elite to help him. The condition I gave was to open all the cities in the corpse wetland, so that everyone could develop their own forces. β
The eyes of the three contacts were shining, but their brows were furrowed and they were silent.
Qingyi struck while the iron was hot: "Think about it, since you are in the position of a diplomatic representative on the cusp, you must always make some achievements to be convincing!" I'm happy to help a few of you to see if you have the courage to fight! β
"We, the blood elves, are always on your side." The blood elf offspring was thoughtful and the first to make a statement. He said sincerely: "With us here, you can rest assured of the safety of your subordinates." I can't get out, but thirty Blade Dancers and thirty Bloodmourage Masters will go out for you, and they all have advanced strength. β
"Sixty high-level werewolf warriors, and me." Ethan Gren moved his neck joint, and shook his reggae braids and shook them, throwing out a wild body. His eyes lit up green: "I haven't tasted meat for a long time!" β
Itema nodded steadily, revealing a man's smile: "For the sake of the ...... Sincerely, I and sixty high-ranking witches also set out with the brigade. Whoever dares to touch our allies, we will blow them to pieces. β
After the two sides finalized the details of the agreement, the meeting was dismissed and the troops were mobilized. Qingyi rushed back to the "City of Waiting" to continue to deal with the affairs of the city.
As he sat on the airship, Xue Duo pinched the shadow into a pitch-black figure, sat on the armrest of the Shadow Throne, and asked, "Host, the situation in the corpse wetland is not optimistic, is it?" Today the living will come, tomorrow the dead will come, and not a day will stop. In this kind of place, let alone open the door to do business, even your own safety is difficult to guarantee! How can they all be so stupid and promise to help for the sake of a few new outlets? β
"They're not stupid, they just want to be 'not discriminated against.'" Qingyi said: "As a minority, they are always excluded and oppressed by humans, and they are driven like rats. Everyone should be equal, at least have the same living space and the right to move. Witches, werewolves, and blood elves can only be respected by me, and once I lose power, they will never have a chance to get 'justice', so they have to fight for me. β
He paused for a moment and said, "It seems to them that it is worth giving up their lives to live in the open, although they also know that if they die, they will not be able to come back." β
