Chapter 118 The first pot of gold
Because the "Four Continental Elite Challenge" will be held on December 1st, the method of players voting to select contestants, so recommendation activities in various continents are in full swing. Although they are currently in the nomination stage, they are already a controversial contest, expressing their opinions, and becoming the hottest topic of discussion.
Although the specific reward method for winning has not been announced, being qualified to represent the entire mainland is an incomparable honor, proving that his strength is recognized by most players. If he can perform well in the challenge, his reputation can spread far to other continents and be recognized by players of the whole world. Whether it is for fame or for profit, many players who think they have the strength to be selected have beaten their hands, promoted themselves in the game through various methods, increased their popularity, and launched a vigorous canvassing campaign. As many players circulated privately, it is the public that votes. As long as there are many people recommended, it means that you have the strength. Even if you are the real "No. 1 in the world", if you do not have the player recommendation, you still cannot be selected. You must be worthy of your reputation!
The most popular way is "Tian Media", which creates a little news to attract the attention of reporters, and receives an opportunity to show up in public by interviews, becoming the most direct and effective advertising method. For a moment, the entire Eastern continent was full of smoke and wars, challenging monsters that others dare not provoke, and proving their strength through battles. It is impossible for people to become the first person to dare to take the lead, so as to attract the attention of "Tian Media" reporters and get a chance to show off; and some unpopular tasks of Mercenary Guild that are difficult and low-paid suddenly became popular and swept away by players... All of this is for one purpose, gaining public recognition, and becoming the main candidates for contestants.
Of course, there is one thing that does not have clear regulations, but it will definitely be the default conditions. The selected person must advance to the fourth level profession. I don’t want to be famous, but I heard that the contestants still have bonuses to get, which attracted me more. I have been playing the game for more than three months and I am still penniless and cannot stand on my own. This is really a bit anxious. As the first transferee of "Tianxia", the main member of the two "Tianxia Heroes" team championship team, I am also very likely to be selected. The qualification value also meets the conditions, so it is naturally my top priority.
After resurrection, he appeared in my room at the station. He just walked out of the door and was about to go to the Undead Forest to find Old Mason to advance. Xue Wuxia suddenly contacted me, "Ah Dai, where are you now?"
"I just resurrected from the 'Nether Space' and am now in the room at the station."
"That happens to be right. Come to the conference area in the hall immediately and ask you for any discussion."
I agreed, cut off the call, and walked downstairs. It was strange. I heard from Afeng that everyone has been busy leveling up these two days and has not undertaken the mercenary group mission. What's the use of me? It doesn't sound like everyone is having a meeting, so I don't know what it is.
"Wow, it turns out that Brother Long is here, he is such a rare guest." There were only two people in the conference area, one was Xue Wuxia, and the other was Long Xingtianxia. This surprised me. According to the schedule, he should be busy completing the task of forming a mercenary group now. Why did he have time to come to our Tongxin Alliance?
"Hello, Ah Dai!" Long Xingtianxia greeted me with a smile.
I found a seat to sit down and looked at them. It seemed that I should have something to do with Long Xingtianxia when I came to me. Could it be that I encountered some trouble during the completion of the task and wanted to pull me over and help?
"Do you have a mission in progress now?" Xue Wuxia spoke first.
"No, what's wrong, is there anything?" I shook my head. The promotion task was about to be done and had not started yet.
"Oh, we have something to ask Brother A Dai for help, so we asked Captain Xue to come forward to contact you." Long Xingtianxia said.
"Aren't you completing the task of forming a mercenary group? Is there anything I can help?" I was a little surprised. With their wealth and power, even if it is not too easy, it shouldn't be very difficult.
"We have completed the first two tasks and are now preparing to carry out the third task of killing level 5 monsters to obtain the magic crystal core. I would like to ask you for help."
"With the strength of your team, level 5 monsters are indeed powerful, killing one should not be a problem." Now the overall strength of players has improved a lot compared to ours at that time, and there are more pets to assist in the battle. As long as dozens of masters are dispatched, you can definitely deal with level 5 monsters.
"You have also killed the level 5 monster, and the danger is clear. The dark forest is full of murderous intentions. If you want to sneak into the battle site smoothly, you must not only rely on your strength, but sometimes it depends on luck, and inevitably lose some personnel. In addition, the staffing is staffing. In terms of strength alone, dozens of masters should be able to kill one, but if the level 5 monster is fighting and escapes in the middle of the battle, it will be difficult to set up a tight encirclement to prevent it from escaping. At the beginning, Yamato and the others had used to
After suffering a great loss, the first ambush was not enough and the monsters were escaped by the monsters. The second time, a large number of people were hired to participate, which led to other monsters participating, and failed again. It was not until the third time that they succeeded, and it took a lot of effort. The same was true for the later Ganges War God, and they paid a great price to kill the fifth-level monsters. Although our strength has improved a certain amount now than that time, it is not easy to complete the task easily."
"Easy to complete? I heard Brother Long's meaning, is it because I want to create news in an alternative way?" Thinking of the endless hype incidents recently, I suddenly guessed Long Xingtian's intention.
"Not bad!" Long Xingtianxia nodded, "Virtuality is actually very similar to reality. If you want to attract people's attention, you also need publicity and hype. This 'Four-side Continental Elite Challenge' is a good opportunity to expand the influence of the candidates and their forces. Yamato Spirit, Hua Mantian, Ganges God of War, Koryo Warriors and others spared no effort to create various news, frequently showed their faces on "Sky Media" to seek public support. The whole world is drunk, and we don't want to pretend to be noble, so we are naturally not willing to fall behind. No matter what, we must strive for Chinese players to occupy most of the quotas of contestants."
"But several level 5 monsters have been killed. How can we create news? Could it be that we only plan to take action?" I was just talking casually, but I saw Long Xingtianxia nodding, as if he was agreeing with my statement. I was shocked, "It's really only the two of us?" Challenging level 5 monsters is not a joke, let alone having to successfully sneak into the dark forest first. Doing so is really dangerous, and it's simply a bet on life.
"Oh, it's not entirely true. There are four people in my plan, you, me, Xiaobai and Gao Ge. The four players successfully killed a level 5 monster. This should be considered sensational news."
I couldn't help but feel bitter. Although this is indeed a good idea to attract the public's attention, the risk is too great. I was already famous enough, and there seems to be no need to show off such a thing to increase my popularity.
"Of course, this was a task that we had to complete, and we couldn't worry about it for nothing, so we prepared a labor fee of 3,000 gold coins to express our feelings." While speaking, a money ticket with an amount of 3,000 gold coins was placed in front of me. The transfer transaction between cards can only be carried out in some specific places. In order to facilitate players to make large-scale consumption at any time, the money ticket became a good supplement.
"This..., just help, just help, and you'll be exempted. Why are you so embarrassed?" I thought I had so much money to get it because of the voluntary help, so I was very moved, but I couldn't seem too greedy for money, so I still had to be polite in terms of face.
"You're welcome," Long Xingtianxia smiled slightly, "This is what we should pay. If we complete the task according to the conventional method, we need to pay more. Now we only ask for one. We still make a profit. This is also the rule in the game. Friendship belongs to friendship and rewards. If you are asked to do it in vain, we will not be able to speak again when we encounter any more things."
I glanced at Xue Wuxia, "Sister Wuxia, look at this..." I am considered a member of Tongxin Alliance. Now I have to accept the employment of outsiders. Out of politeness, I should also ask for her opinions.
"Don't ask me, this is your private matter. Brother Long is our friend. You can just make your own decisions. It is not advisable to express your opinions in the group. But I personally think..." Xue Wuxia paused for a moment and deliberately kept it a secret. "You can make a name for yourself and have money to make money. There is no reason to miss such a good opportunity."
"In fact, this time, you have to rely on your undead troops to restrain the monsters. I guess you will lose a lot in one battle. Besides, you and I have already become famous and I have a great chance of being selected. If you have this matter, it is just icing on the cake. The main thing is to build momentum for Xiaobai and Gao Ge to further increase their popularity and increase their chances of being selected. You must accept this reward for the sake of emotion and reason." Long Xingtianxia directly confessed their selfishness.
This gave me another step. I didn't intend to refuse, so I happily agreed and accepted the money ticket. Three thousand gold coins, deducting personal income tax and other expenses, I could get about 2,000 euros, equivalent to 20,000 yuan, which is enough to live for several months. This is the first pot of gold I found in "The World". Even if it is dangerous, it is worth it.
I arrived at the turn with Long Xingtianxia. In addition to Baiyunjian and Zhangjiaoyan, there was one more person present - Long Piaopiao Long reporter, wearing a sportswear and backpack, and it seemed that he was going to set off with us. This was not an outing, so why did she join in the fun?
"You want to enter the dark forest with us to kill monsters?" He said hello to her first, and asked questions with a smile.
"Yes, why, do you have any objection?" The Long Da reporter's voice was very gentle, but there was murderous intent behind his words.
"Piaopiao acted with us and was preparing to shoot our battle process throughout the whole process to report. The four hidden professional players teamed up to challenge the fifth-level monster. If everything went well, it would definitely become a classic." Bai Yunjian explained at the right time to help me relieve me. After those days of interaction, he and Afeng established a good relationship, and we both eliminated the prejudice. He felt that he was a little slick and liked to joke for nothing, but his heart was not bad.
"Of course, without me personally following up and reporting, how can you win the trust of others and make others believe that it was really the four of you who did it?"
"Don't worry about her, the monster will not attack the reporters on its own initiative. We just need to think about how to fight and just pretend that she does not exist." Long Xingtianxia stared at her, and said it was quite rude.
"Hmph, I want you to protect you. Your attitude is so arrogant. Be careful not to destroy you by the monsters, and become 'over-overpowered, four players dare to challenge the level 5 monsters and all the troops were gone'. That would be funny." Long Piaopiao retorted, and the two of them stared at each other, not giving in to each other, and they were like a pair of enemies who were fighting angrily.
"Okay, okay, I'll say less. Take the time and start acting quickly." Jiu Gaoge hurried out to smooth things over and walked into the dark forest first.
Based on the situation we learned from us and after field investigation, the goal this time was still decided to be the three-headed flame wolf. It has been ambushed once. For me, I am familiar with the road and know how to deal with it. The chances of success are much greater. After all, it is not to show off to be a hero, but to a large extent it is for publicity needs. Not only do I win, but I also need to win as beautiful as possible, and whether I am familiar or not.
I have visited many places here, and I am more familiar with the environment, and my experience has improved a lot compared to that time. Long Piaopiao will not be in danger unless he hits the monster directly. Long Xingtianxia and the other three have rich experience and have studied in depth in advance. Therefore, they have successfully avoided all kinds of monsters along the way and arrived at the location of the last ambush.
My undead legion is only responsible for fighting the front war and preventing the three flame wolf from escaping, while Long Xingtianxia plays a role in hindering the production side. The main force of the battle is Baiyunjianhe, and Long Piaopiao is reporting this point. This is also the purpose of publicity. I and Long Xingtianxia have snatched the first contribution. How can we increase the popularity of the two of them?
I used the "Summoning the Undead" twice. In order to save time, the three of them naturally needed to contribute their own mental power, allowing them to personally experience the power of the artifact. The strange feeling of "sucking essence and sucking marrow" even Long Xingtianxia couldn't help but frown. As for Bai Yunjian, who donated the most, he even had a bitter face and looked exaggerated.
Because I didn't have to act as the main force of the battle, I did not use the old zombies and phosphorescence, but only summoned more than 300 zombies and skeleton shooters each, scattered and ambushed around me. As long as they hide their bodies and do not move around, they will not attract attacks.
Chapter completed!
