Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 25 Reward Settlement

"Now?" Ian's first reaction was to continue to squat in Yanchang Town.

Different from the entanglement and panic before striking the Brotherhood hunter who attacked Harui, Ian at this moment has no psychological burden on hunting and killing players.

Just as the unworthy hunter shot an arrow into the chest of Harui's stand-in without saying a word, Harui ordered his mercenaries to kill him without hesitation after realizing that he was a player. Like your own order.

The relationship between players is a life-and-death relationship. Since the players signed the agreement and came to this world, they have become endless enemies with each other.

Although Ian still had the urge to vomit looking at the corpses all over the floor, he understood it now more than ever.

As long as I had any soft-heartedness or hesitation in the previous confrontation, it should be Harui standing next to his dead body and lamenting life at this moment.

Therefore, it is indeed a good choice to go to Yanchang Town to continue hunting merchants. After all, he has made a detailed plan for this, and now that he has two more knights under his command, his chances of winning by squatting will undoubtedly increase a lot.

But for me who already have two powerful knights and more than 3000 golden dragons, this doesn't seem to be the most cost-effective solution?Ian suddenly had such an idea again.

After all, his hunting plan in Saltpan Town was only aimed at traveling merchants, and his expectation of the result was that it would take only a month to get one of them to count as a success.

It is true that this achievement was ideal for him before. After all, as long as he gets kill points, he can buy a period of development time that is not threatened by the assassination mechanism.

But now, he is no longer threatened by the standings, so finding a way to develop quickly is the most important thing, and the best way to develop is to run a business.

"Let's find an inn to rest for a night, and make a decision tomorrow." Ian said, he wanted to finish the reward settlement first, and analyze the new task before talking.

"If you're looking for an inn, the closest inn to us is the Crossroads Inn, and we're at most two hours' ride away from there," Luo Er nodded, "We can rest there for a night, replenish wine and food, and then Make a plan."

"Crossroad Inn?" Ian's eyelids twitched when he heard the familiar name.

"Although the Crossroads Inn is not far from here, we have already disposed of all the victims. Even if the corpses here are found tomorrow, no one will suspect us." Seeing Ian's expression, Luo Er thought he was was worried about this.

Ian shook his head, indicating that this was not what he was worried about.

He was just reminded by the name.

The Crossroads Inn, that was his original hunting location.

Unlike Yanchang Town, which can only be a traveling merchant, the Crossroads Inn, due to its special location as the thoroughfare of four provinces, probably ranks in the top three in the probability of players appearing there in the entire world of ice and fire (the first is the player Gathered Pantos who wanted to lick the dragon mother, and the second was that Ian didn’t know where, he said that the first three were used to not talking enough).

In short, for Ian, who has discovered the big flaw in the player's opening equipment, the Crossroads Inn is almost a perfect hunting ground.

He gave up going to the Crossroads Inn and chose to go to Yanchang Town because he was worried that he would not be able to beat those players who had a strong force value in his previous life.

But now, he has two such powerful NPCs and such huge funds.

He only needs to confirm to the mercenary captain that there are no newcomers in their team when recruiting mercenaries like Harui, and he can safely hire a mercenary team, thus gaining an absolute advantage in force.

So the plan to go hunting at the Crossroads Inn was back on his table.

But the price/performance ratio of doing so still seems not high?
In the early stage, a player is only worth 4 points, and if it is not killed by hand, it is only 2 points, and there is almost no additional income. Maybe squatting here for two months, killing a few players will bring you more benefits than a run business.

Thinking of this, Ian shook his head again, denying this point of view.

Although the points brought by hunting players are not many, there is no way for other players to obtain points. If you can use this to reach the top of the ladder, the reward resources you get plus the attribute points obtained by hunting players may be worth as much as It is not comparable to a trip to the business.

And even if it is not for these rewards, it is definitely beneficial to eliminate some players in the early stage. After all, I never know how far the players can develop in the later stage.

For example, that Harui, with the strength shown by that guy, if he does not die but develops to the later stage, how much threat will he bring to himself?
Taking advantage of one's current advantages, it is the best solution to nip as many of these seeds as possible in the bud.

"Go to the Inn at the Crossroads." Ian gave the order. He planned to have a good meal first and rest for a night.

Before setting off, Ian ordered Luo Er to take him for a ride after taking off his armor on the grounds that he was too tired. Anyway, they captured three spare horses, which were just enough to carry things.

Of course, the real reason he did this was that this bullshit system had to close his eyes to log in, and it was impossible for him to ride a horse with his eyes closed for a long time.

After officially going on the road, Ian closed his eyes and logged into the system to start today's reward settlement.

The first thing Ian saw was the red dot on the mailbox. Ian, who has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, clicked on the mailbox without hesitation, and then began to read the received emails one by one according to the time.

[Complete the task bounty task 3 'First Blood', get 3 attribute points, 3000 skill points, [-] gold dragons, two S-level optional NPCs (already received)]

[Successfully kill a player, get 4 points, capture 1 point, and get an extra 2 points of strength]

[Subordinates successfully kill a player, get 2 points, capture 1 point, and get an extra 1 point of mental power]

"Eh? The points you get for killing and seizing are also 1 point? Is this rounded?" Ian smiled. Although 0.5 points is not much, it is always fun to go whoring for nothing.

Thinking, he continued to go down.

[Achieving D-level highlight operation, get 1 point]

"High-light operation? How is this calculated?" Ian remembered that Annie mentioned this thing when the mechanism was introduced, but he temporarily ignored it because he needed to digest too much information.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally got a little point by virtue of this.

"High light operation mainly refers to the player's amazing decision-making in terms of planning or contingency, and thus obtains a major benefit. The judgment of high light operation will be based on the system's built-in AI algorithm. The highest high light level is S Level, and the lowest level is D." Annie answered Ian's question in the next second.
