I can't be an NPC

Chapter 216 The voice of the spirit-like monster
The monster siege gradually came to an end. Although the invading monsters were powerful individually, they were ultimately outnumbered.

With the joint efforts of the players who were backed by the resurrection point, the battle of defending the city was finally won.

It also means that the construction of the city is about to be fully completed.

Although the price paid was heavy, the soul energy obtained by most defenders after killing monsters was not even comparable to the loss of soul energy dropped by death, but at this moment, all players' minds were not on soul energy.

A city!
A city that belongs to players!
According to the current progress, the project will be fully completed in one more day. By then, it will be revealed which of the three groups will be able to obtain the final qualification to compete for the city lord.

Yes, so far, no one knows what level their personal contribution is compared to others.

One of the most annoying and irritating aspects of this game is this.

Whenever the calculation of individual contribution values ​​of multiple players in the same task is involved, the players will inevitably fall into an endless involution.

Because there is no leaderboard visible to all members.

No one knows who is the first and who is the second.

How many points do I have, how many points do others have, what level do I belong to compared to others... I don't know!

Do you ask and count one by one?

Not realistic!
Don't say whether people will tell the truth, even if everyone tells the truth, but this kind of points that are changing all the time, relying on the statistics of such a small number of players is useless, and there is no reference value at all.

Even No.1 in the true sense may not know that he is No.1.

In this case, the players in the puzzle can only do one thing - do their best and obey the destiny.

roll!Roll as hard as you can.

Do everything you can do, if you can't grab others, then you have nothing to say.

Many people felt a little bored in the middle of the task and temporarily slacked off. Now that it was the eve of the settlement again, they realized that the city was really about to be completed, and the time to grab the progress was right in front of them. Countless people threw off their arms and kept going all night open dry.

Forget about salty fish or loose alliances.

Especially those professional player alliances who are determined to compete for the position of city lord and who are ambitious to build a floating city in the future to conquer the entire multiverse, all of them are trying their best to make a big fight.

This is the first city fief owned by a player in the game!

Some local tyrants even took out real-world cash bonuses.

An alliance can accommodate up to 200 people, and the points are settled based on the total points of all members. Every alliance that aspires to be the city lord is naturally fully recruited.

And those local tyrants also announced that if the alliance that has won one of the three preliminary qualifications is willing to be acquired, each member will be given 50 in cash!

The ability to make money is easy to use at any time. Where there are people, there may not be rivers and lakes, but there must be ability to make money.

The local tyrants don't need to work hard, but as long as they work hard enough, they can work for the local tyrants.

Buying one is also buying, and buying three is also buying.

As long as they are willing to sell, the three city lord qualification alliances are all controlled by one person, so there is no suspense about who will win the subsequent battle for the city lord.

After all, the position of the city lord is not for life, and in the future, the real city lord will be re-elected within the specified time in the three qualification alliances.

So collecting the three qualifications together is the best solution once and for all.

The purchase price promised by those local tyrants also intensified the crazy enthusiasm of the players to some extent.

For individual players, a city construction project that lasts only a few days can hope to get 50 in cash, which is much more than real projects.

Therefore, the player alliance composed of some like-minded individuals is also eyeing the three qualifications.

On the eve of this coming to light, the construction progress of the entire human city is advancing at an incredible speed.

Not only is there a lot of excitement in the game, but the forum is also full of exciting discussions.

"How many points do you have? I only have 200 points. The city owner must have nothing to do with me."

"200 points? Wash up, go home and sleep, eating shit can't keep up with hot ones."

"Fucking! No one really believes that he has 200 points, right? The dog of the Star Alliance is just trying to make everyone relax, and I believe that he has 2000 points. The star people work overtime every day, and they are not afraid of sudden death!"

"Let me tell you some gossip. The current siege battle is just the beginning, and there is still a big battle waiting for us in the future! The Underdark is even more lively!"

"Today, Madou revived me three times in order to prevent those monsters from attacking the city. What a loss!"

"Then what are you trying to do? If you're not in good shape, just retreat."

"I was too excited to fight and forgot..."

Talk about everything.

The final monster siege battle took place not long ago.

The Battle of the Surprise Octopus Head that only a few people know about.

The qualification of the owner of the first human city that is about to end.

And there are even fewer people who are worried about their chaotic position. After all, it is not the only one who is outrageously planted by the illithid, and he is not the only one who has been redeemed by other players.

"I have more than 1000 points, what if my points are not counted when the settlement is due to the position?"

"Hey! Stop talking, I still have 1900 points! Just because I knew my position was forcibly converted to the illithid camp, our alliance directly kicked me! Shit!"

"But haven't we come back now? I just don't know if it counts..."

"I don't care if I'm the city owner or not. Just don't lose my personal rewards. I've already figured out which skills to exchange for!"

"We are also thinking about everyone..."

"Fart! You are your own poor hands. The mission content does not allow you to explore the Underdark in advance. Bobby only asked us to build a city for defense, so there must be his intentions. If you waste your own money, no one can blame you for the loss."

"But the punishment of this faction is too outrageous. I am now in the city. People hate me, and NPCs ignore me. I want to delete my account and practice again."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Love me again!"

……

Li Wen recalled the battle records he saw from the players who were "outrageous" waiting to die and come back.

The heartfelt section provides a lot of useful information.

[Spirits? ? ? (Voice of heart): So it's not those Ghis people (click to view the race details) ah... I was shocked. 】

[Spirits? ? ? (voice): What is this?psionic?These people also wield psionic powers? 】

[Spirits? ? ? (Voice): Oh~ So it was just a rough imitation, I didn’t even understand the essence of psychic power (click to view the rules for details), and you want to use great psychic power? 】

……

Li Wen, who was in his room, quietly browsed through the six newly acquired knowledge points in his mind.

Knowing the details of the three races expanded Li Wen's knowledge and let him know the love and hatred between some illithids and his opponents.

Ghis are the sworn enemies of illithids.

From the illithid's hatred and fear of the Gith people, Li Wen learned something——

Even though the illithids in the past may have been the overlords across the multiverse in the snake population, but now they are just some poor worms avoiding the gith people.

After enslaving the race called the Ghis people for thousands of years, the Ghis people raised their butcher knife against their masters.

The specific situation of the illithid itself is not very clear. I don't know whether it is because the gith people have been affected by the spiritual control of the illithid for a long time and thus gained resistance, or because the illithid group itself has fallen into some unexplainable disorder. Weakened.

Anyway, it only took an incredible year, and the entire huge illithid empire quickly fell apart, and the scattered and fleeing illithid groups were forever in the fear of being chased and killed by the Ghis across the plane.

Through the inner voices of the illithids, Li Wen saw their unspeakably complicated mentality of fear and resentment, as well as their obsession with always wanting to restore the glory of the empire.

To some extent...why do you feel a little sympathetic with those snake people?

Then there are duergar and drow.

These two races also exist on the Gaia continent. They are subspecies of dwarves and elves, but they belong to the branch of the evil camp.

Unexpectedly, in the dark area of ​​this foreign continent, there are also these two subspecies of dwarves and elves.

It's just that they don't know if the native dwarves and elves themselves know that they still have such relatives living in the Underdark.

If you know it, you know, these inside stories are very interesting, but they are not very useful in the current situation.

More useful are the other three knowledge points.

Before getting the voice of the spirit sucker, Li Wen was really helpless and had no idea about the things it thought of.

One is the full use of psychic power, and the other is how to truly rescue those creatures implanted into tadpoles by illithids.

In the village on the continent of Gaia that was controlled by the spirit sucker and then rescued by Qin, there are still many villagers who are still in a frozen state of sleep.

There is no way, Qin's psionic diffusion only briefly suppresses the development of "tadpoles" on them just like the magic heart mine armor, and it is difficult to completely eradicate those so-called "tadpoles".

Unlike the snake eggs of the snake people, they can't even find the "tadpoles" at all.

Before they knew the concept of "tadpoles", even Qin and Helen were puzzled as to why they still couldn't get out of control after the master of the illithid escaped or died.

Li Wen didn't understand it at first, but now he fully understands it.

"Oh~ So it looks like this."

If it is said that the other two knowledge points still require a period of study and research by Li Wen to be able to master them, but the anti-transformation ceremony is not necessary at all.

Just like all ritual spells, because the ritual is too complicated, everyone just memorizes it by rote and records it in a certain way.

Rigid, do not know how to adapt.

Personal understanding?

No!nonexistent.

Step by step and it's done.

So there is no so-called learning, just browse through it roughly, and then find the corresponding magic materials you need, a spellcaster who has certain magic attainments and can charge and control the places needed in the process of presiding over the ceremony in time They can complete even a complicated ceremony completely.

Therefore, first try the waters with players who have been planted with "tadpoles" in such an outrageous way.

With this in mind, Li Wen directly asked Aletta to help prepare the spell materials related to the ceremony, and at the same time asked the head of the elves in the human city to release a message, saying that he could return the players who had "tadpoles" in their bodies back to their normal camp identities.

……

On the second day, there was no serious day and night on the Land of Mad Moon anyway, so Li Wen, who had a short rest, came directly to the central square of Human City.

The players from the chaotic faction who were notified were waiting here early.

After being rescued, they found that it was not as good as...or say it was not as good as it was, in short, they regretted it.

I regret why I drilled into the Underdark.

Why get caught by those octopus heads and not kill yourself in time.

As a result, no one is welcome to see them now.

Of course there is nothing to say about the octopus head, except for some people with unique XP systems, no one would like to stay there.

But what about Human City?
It seems that the aborigines can feel the chaotic atmosphere on them, and the level of favorability when interacting must start from indifference.

The tasks that could have been accepted could not be accepted, and the elf sister who could have flirted with each other ignored people.

It can be said that they who were rescued could hardly move an inch, and even thought of deleting their numbers and retraining in their hearts.

And it was at this moment that a ray of light... shone into their world.

Poppy! YYDS!

At this time, when they saw Li Wen approaching, they immediately exclaimed in suppressed excitement.

And Li Wen glanced at the small group of players waiting, but he didn't see the player who impressed him deeply—it was outrageous.

What about others?
After hesitating for a while, Li Wen sent him a text message.

"I'll do a ritual for everyone to switch their camp back, what about you?"

no reply...

Players really don't like functional spells such as SMS, and he, an arcane knight, has limited spell slots.

Li Wen decided to give him a little time.

……

Time passed by, and finally, Li Wen saw the figure of the other party rushing over.

"My lord, I will not do this ceremony."

He just stood under the stone platform outrageously, raised his head and said to Li Wen with a smile.

"Ok?"

He hesitated outrageously and explained: "If I keep the tadpole, I still have a chance to get the Psion profession...I want to try it."

He knew that there was a wider world deep in the Underdark, and his murloc priest sister was still waiting for him in the deep sea.

A good man is everywhere.

"..."

well.

Very honest.

It is also in line with the player's bold thinking.

I'm afraid it's not just him, but other players in a similar situation think the same way, but they don't know him because they don't have the impression.

Row!Everyone has his own ambitions.

Li Wen didn't care what the choice of one or two players was.

"Okay, be careful yourself."

"Good Mrs. Bobby!"

Just outrageously smiling.

You know, Master Bobby is not an ordinary coquettish slut, not only did not reprimand him for his decision that sounded a bit deviant, but even gave him encouragement.

Poppy!Forever God!
In the future, I will never cooperate with those forces that want to trouble Bobby!

I secretly made a decision on the outrageous.
