Vol 2 Chapter 27: Missions and conflicts

Bud's heart shook, and he wandered around the city aimlessly. Wherever he saw the house was generally damaged to a certain extent, there was not much sorrow on the people's faces, and some were just the joy of escape after the disaster.
Players are more as desperate as he is, the others react differently, some scold the main brain, some are ridiculous to the NPCs. In short, an unusually large earthquake gave birth to hundreds of attitudes.
"Ding! No. 0728, there are new system tasks acceptable, please check as soon as possible!"
After Shanshan's late system news, Bud almost forgot that he was in the game, thinking that the source of all this was the main brain's making fun of him. He scolded an insult, and opened the NPC panel to view it.
[Inexplicable earthquake in Bretnia (continuous large regional mission)
Optional task 1: Join the adventure team convened by the city owner, go to a distant place to check the origin of the vibration, and bring back useful intelligence information in order to formulate a suitable response strategy.
Optional task two: check the important areas that are damaged due to vibration to minimize losses. 】
The two mission directions, respectively external and internal, are quite what they should be, but after reading it, Bard couldn't help but scolded the bastard.
Isn't it friendly to NPCs? What will happen if we disclose more information? What is so vague is simply embarrassing!
Bard tried it. It seems that both tasks can be chosen, but they actually conflict with each other. The risk of joining the adventure team is definitely much greater. After all, it can cause natural fluctuations of this scale. The trigger may be an evil or the like. .
With his current strength, it's too unsafe to risk joining, so let's take a look first.
In the latter, inspecting the damaged area is more general. Looking around, the city is damaged everywhere. After all, Bretnia has never encountered a slightly larger earthquake in the hundreds of years after its completion. The building facilities do not consider earthquake resistance at all. Going on.
But the mission statement is an important area, which is worth pondering. Is the Hall of All Occupations important? The major shrines and even the city's main mansion are not important, but the maintenance of those areas should not be turned on by outsiders.
This system task is very subtle and painful!
Bud ’s head is a bit big. From entering the game to the present, his NPC identity contacts have extremely limited system tasks and little experience. The earliest is the guide task, followed by the mist mushroom, and the last is to assist players on the panel for a long time. Each task seems quite strange.
In the afternoon, the incident is further brewing, and the news spreads through the sky, and players have everything to say, ancient evil gods, ancient demons or evil ~ religious organizations with ulterior motives who want to subvert the world.
Anyway, everyone understands that this matter will not end there, and there must be development in the follow-up.
Players are excited, but the NPC residents are upset. The earthquake that has never happened in a hundred years is regarded as a precursor to disaster, and there are many more people who are planning to drag their families and leave the city of Bretonia.
The organization established by Bard's secret place has ushered in a lot of development. Overnight, stationery wrapped in red socks appeared in hidden places around the city, begging for peace and a way out of that rumored supernatural existence.
He didn't have time to reply one by one, and the plea of ​​the cemetery caretaker was put first by him, and the group of businessmen who contacted him always did the same.
The next day, a formal notice came out in the city. Players throbbed in front of the bulletin board, one by one came to look at it with excitement, but after a while, they fell back.
"What the hell! Even asking adventurers above level 20 to join the investigative team, isn't this playing us?"
"That's it! Bud is only 17th in the rankings. He can't even take the task. How funny is this system?"
Bud, as an investigation task that NPCs can directly accept, reaches the player but limits the threshold. The hard requirement of level 20 has stuck everyone.
However, the optional task two repair area is not open to the public. Players have no idea that this task exists.
Angry players hovered near the bulletin board, talking loudly about the white-headed behavior of the master's brain, and even the Blethnia city owner who actually issued the order was also scolded.
At this time, a squad of fiercely dressed, ten-person adventure squads that experienced the vicissitudes slammed in from the outer circle. The tall man headed looked at the mission information, and bowed down to the next mission publisher. The city guard soldiers exchanged a few In a word, Guanghua flashed, showing that they successfully received the task.
There was a big outcry around everyone, and each of them had a wrong system ranking. There were really players above level 20. At this moment, a voice in the crowd shouted: "I have seen them, it is the rock heart of the NPC adventure team."
"It was NPC? Damn, what fun did they come out for?"
"NPCs can pick it up, too ..."
There are many criticisms. NPC adventurers have no player's immortality. In this monster-ridden world, it is definitely a high-risk industry, but every team that survives the storm is definitely the elite.

The Heart of the Rock fixed the captain of the adventurer team. The tall man with a Chinese character face heard the voice of the player behind him, turned his head and glanced at it, and a scornful smile suddenly appeared on the tough face like a knife and axe.
"A bunch of cricket ants!"
He spit out disdain to the players in the most scornful tone, and turned around to continue his work regardless of the response.
Although the sound is light, I don't know why the penetrating power is very strong, like gold and iron clashes, they are poured into everyone's ears.
After a brief death, the extremely surprised players were angry, and a variety of rushed in, drowning the arrogant NPC adventurer team.
"Damn! What the do you say?"
"What is the main brain system doing? How can such lawless NPCs be produced, and hurry to recycle them and redo it!"
Before, they contacted either the lower-level existence of NPCs, such as merchants, residents, etc., or the NPCs that served them because of system requirements, such as the city master of Blethnia and even the entire administration and temple system. They opened the door of convenience, and although occasionally criticized, no one ever expressed such contempt in public.
"What are you shouting about? You have the care of the God of Creation but you do n’t try to be stronger. If I had planted it in the ground and suffocated yourself! I still have a face standing here and barking at your predecessors, Are they all mean dogs? "
In the middle of the line, the female mage with a frost face faced increasingly loud scolding, silently added a loudspeaker, and then said the above words in a moodless mood, as if reading a manuscript State certain facts as well.
"Oh! Let ’s go." Without waiting for the players to react anymore, seeing the captain finish the work, a big man behind the team turned around, reminded the person who was stuck in the road, and came up with his leg. He The figure is not particularly tall, but there seems to be strength beyond mortals in his bones. Dozens of players have been squeezed backwards in front of him.
In the area of ​​Genesis, except for the rebirth point, there are no laws and forces to restrict hands. Seeing the opponent's apparent provocative behavior, excited players reached out and took out their weapons.
Seeing the contradiction is about to intensify, it is precisely when the guards next to the shot should stop, but look at those veterans who are battle-hardened and fully armed, but stand one by one with a smile, discussing what they are talking about. The players who have approached Hearing wants to vomit blood.
"Look, the rock guy is going to educate newcomers again!"
"Look again this time, you can let go of this group of undead guys. It's absolutely interesting to stop so far."
"Yeah! Hurry up! Call these nostril guys good-looking, do it! Encourage them!"
The last sentence even called out to the players, showing that they were really impatient.
Seeing that the players were going to use force, the tall man headed by the squad, the NPC nicknamed Panshi sank.
The sudden strong murderous energy permeated him, and the players who followed him were not slow to react, immediately all sinking their minds, and transforming the powerful will that has been born and killed for many years into the purest spirit of killing the enemy.
The nearest player immediately freezes his hands and feet, and the whole body's blood cools down instantly, and the whole person is stiff.
Tell them a group of guys who play games with the real killer? Do they have this capital?
The members of the squad are mixed with each other. They are familiar with each other to the extreme, and they will not counter each other, but instantly merge into one, inspiring a powerful momentum to head up even in the face of the gods. .
The first players are involuntary, their legs are weak, and an instant terrible illusion appears, and their bodies can't stop falling down.
Players in the back also felt the strange feeling of washing away, just like being stared at by a lion. They intuitively told them that if they did something, they would be fatally hit. Everyone was in danger, and the noisy crowd quieted in a blink of an eye.
"Go!" The captain opened his eyes, spit out a word, put out his empty hands, and walked out of the crowd with a group of people. None of the crowded players on either side dared to strike their edge.
The players only recovered when they gradually went away. Some people looked at each other in disbelief. The recent facts were too weird to make them difficult to understand, and some people flashed the light of hatred in the eyes. The NPC adventure team who went there shouted: "Wait and see! You will surely die, and it will be your final end to become data fragments!"
Although in the ears of other NPCs, data, NPCs and the like can be transformed into the most vicious words they can understand, and it has also attracted the anger of many other NPCs, but the fact that no more vicious language can't change the sadness of negative dogs.
"Captain, why don't you take the lesson to teach them? You used to directly encounter the younger generations who didn't open your eyes! This is not your style." Someone in the Rock team left asking questions.
"They are different. The lessons of the newcomers are taught to let them know that the sky is high, and they will not blindly challenge the powerful enemies to send their lives, but these people ... Huh!" The tall man explained casually, then hesitated and added: " Moreover, I don't want to be reduced to a tool in the hands of some people, and I am even more unwilling to become a more turbulent index of chaos. The threat of Bretnia City is already large enough at this time! "
He looked towards the southeast of the city, where the source of the previous earthquake and the direction of their expedition.
Bud later learned about this farce, but he hasn't had time to think about the profound meaning revealed in it. The situation there has been progressing well, and the layout has been completed. It depends on the good show tonight.
