Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 251 Baptiste, repent!

As we all know, no matter how perfect you are in planning, you can never keep up with changes.

Ji Ming wants to arrange for players to perform predictable operations under his own framework and guidance, so as to achieve complete control over the entire game process.

But what players hate most are planners who like to teach themselves how to play games, so after seeing this new main quest, they fell directly into a state of rebellion...

ah? Who said that if you want to stop the mercenaries, you have to go to the upside-down castle to fight a defensive battle!

Is there a possibility that I will continue to draw fire from the bottom of the pot?

The Players Council put together an internal discussion and came up with a plan that seemed to be an eccentric one, but was actually extremely crazy.

"Baptiste seems to still have a certain degree of positive illusions about the mountain mercenaries, and this is the fundamental reason why the mercenaries still have the courage to continue to act."

"Then, we can also send a team of envoys with sufficient persuasion, whether through coercion or inducement, to make Baptiste completely give up cooperation with mercenaries."

"When the time comes that this gang of thieves will be hated by everyone in the underground plain and unable to survive alone, we will be able to issue an order to expel them and solve all problems once and for all!"

Sounds great, but...

"I understand the truth, but what if Baptiste firmly disagrees with our request, or the mountain mercenaries are unwilling to be expelled?"

Ever since they were wiped out by a mercenary group last time, the players of the [Legend] guild hated these gangsters. The president [Judgment] even slammed the table after hearing this.

Water glass: Whoosh~ (take off) bang~ (land).

"How dare you hook up with foreign predators! How dare you stay at our doorstep! That means they are no longer an ordinary NPC force, and they must take a heavy blow!"

After the countermeasures are agreed upon, as for who should lead the envoy, it is natural to find a player that everyone thinks is reliable and has certain negotiation skills.

It is not difficult to select candidates who meet the requirements, and no one will refuse.

After all, even if the negotiations break down and turn into armed fighting, the worst they can do is serve as a "Han envoy" as an excuse to start a war, and they can still make a big splash.

But the problem is not that simple. I don’t know if the game characters have their own lives, but the game players really do.

And quite a few of them, especially those players who are relatively strong in the game, will not be ordinary in the real world.

Therefore, when the Yang-Moon world is approaching the end of the year, the earth has also entered the most critical and complicated month of December, and they have begun to be busy with real-life affairs.

No matter how fun "Code Name: Yangyue" is, it is still a "virtual world". Being able to climb so high means being able to prioritize, so...

"It's almost New Year's Day. I promised the director of culture and tourism that I would take my senior brother to rehearse a program to attract tourists, but I really don't have time."

"It's the end of the year, and there are many things to be settled in the company. I have to check the data with the accountant tomorrow."

"Player fans and celebrity fans are getting more and more at odds with each other, and there are many conflicts within the guests, so "Crazy Different Dimension" is ready to end early, and I need to deal with it."

The presidents and senior officials of major guilds expressed that they had no time or were unable to do anything. There were fewer and fewer suitable targets, and in the end they found that they had no choice.

The conference room was awkward for a while, but suddenly someone made a noise.

"Hey, by the way, don't we still have a crooked neck tree?"

Ji Ming, who was eating melon seeds in the corner: Huh?

No, I wanted to outsource the work to you, but you pushed the work back to me from another direction, just like playing 3D pinball?

And this reminder made everyone suddenly realize - yes, we still have the crooked-neck tree!

Reliability, yes.

As the only professional pharmacist, he sells so many good medicines to other players that he can almost put his own card list on the medicine bottle to sell.

Negotiation ability, yes.

The nickname of the dog-headed strategist in the closed beta test is not unearned. Anyway, everyone will prepare the manuscript in advance. If it doesn't work, just use it when the time comes.

Closed beta players, yes.

The title "Guardian of Dog Village" is already a must in diplomacy. Even if there is a quarrel, the negotiation will be avoided due to the basic goodwill it brings.

It even has certain combat capabilities!

Back then, the fierce battle against the third Alchemy BOSS in the mine relied on him using gunpowder jars to control him. Now that weapons and equipment have developed so much, he might even be able to counterattack.

Ji Ming: Damn it, I just became the best candidate, right?

Standing at the speaking table, he really wanted to tell the players that he had already stopped handling those simple potions. What they drank were high-quality products collected from the mall, or even boiled by rats.

However, seeing how hard they praised him repeatedly, he decided to keep this twisted secret until the end of time.

"Since everyone thinks I can do it, then I'll give it a try."

So while Andrew was still "carefully selecting" his entourage and preparing to go to the Upside Down Castle to make a fortune, Ji Ming had already set off with several players.

As for the accompanying people on this mission, there are not many of them, but they are very valuable.

First of all, since we are negotiating with the Cyclops, we must not lose in terms of size. The three-meter-tall and tiger-backed [Killer Goblin] must be brought along.

After winning the first place in the single-player competition last time, he became a real "star" player by defeating others without fighting.

... Specifically, before the second night, seven book projects and thirty-six literary works related to the adventurer Priestess Knight were announced.

He got up early in the morning to go to work: "Slander, this is slander!"

In addition, with more resources, he also purchased a suit of extremely thick armor, which perfectly continued and intensified the theory of "I can pick up a gun".

So looking at the super can next to him who was wrapped tightly in plate and chain mail and carrying two field howitzers on his back, Ji Ming shook his head in admiration and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Sha, don't you feel it's heavy?"

"Heavy? Where's the weight?"

A crater of footprints was made on the soft dry grass. Brother Sha was breathing heavily under the cover of steel, and his voice was rumbling.

"Aren't I dressed like a cannon Titan? When others see it, I think I am a pure BOSS-level existence!"

But a Goblin Chief alone may not be able to scare Baptiste, so in order to scare him to death at once, another star player needs to cooperate.

Ever since "Zheng Qi Health Gong" was spread, countless players have joined the team of doing good deeds and called themselves Qi Refiners.

And the best among them is naturally [Flying Fire Star] who is originally dedicated to punishing evil and promoting good, and also has a young martial arts dream.

While others were busy taking advantage of the heat, he huddled in the underground city and consulted experts from all walks of life, practicing hard on swordsmanship for more than half a month.

With such perseverance and perseverance, coupled with the bonus of "Zhengqi Health Cultivation Skill", now he has some immortality even if he has not transcended martial arts.

In addition, there were also members from major guilds, representing the various components of the Pioneer Council, who came to support the event.

A group of more than ten people headed northwest under the escort of the Iron Bow Wolf Cavalry, and soon reached the end of the journey.

The current magic forest no longer has the original silence, and the grassland dotted with wild flowers has been trodden.

Although not everyone agrees with the chief's ideas, under the promotion of Baptiste, countless changes have taken place in the demon tribe.

Restlessness, uneasiness, and fear are written on every big man's face.

After hearing that the underground city was sending people again, the ambitious ruler did not hesitate and hosted the envoys at his home. As a result, when I looked up, I saw that the opening remarks I had prepared were choked back.

The people who visited me in the past were ordinary human beings who were personable and well-behaved, talking to me with overflowing kindness.

Why is it that today he is wearing armor and carrying a sword, and his face is cold and murderous? Only the one in the middle is somewhat...

puff! grumble! Snapped!

He slapped a knife, a piece of gold, and a bottle of wine on the table one by one, and used suggestion to lower his charm value. Ji Ming said in a shocked voice.

"Chief Baptiste, let's open the skylight and speak out."

More fierce!

The players' idea of ​​persuading them to quit is actually very simple. They just need to tell Baptiste exactly what happened in the Fang Tribe with evidence.

This one-eyed old uncle also has a daughter in his family. Seeing the Bat King being almost wiped out by thieves and mercenaries after his death, he will definitely be touched.

Let’s explain the cooperation and interests between the demon tribe and the mercenaries, as well as the pioneers, so that he won’t be sober.

If the other party is really a giant with an online IQ, he will naturally change his position.

If the other party is a fool...why is the fool still alive?

No, no one would think that the player sent two duel masters here just to show off their strength.

——Must hit hard!

Putting away the scenes that had been recorded in advance, Ji Ming pushed over the photos of the Bat King's tomb, the descendants' heads, and the general's drug test report.

"That's it for now. If the chief still thinks that our pioneers' nonsense ruined your good deeds, you can stab me to death with this knife."

"If you think what we are saying makes sense and you plan to get out of here and stop thinking about these trivial matters, this piece of gold is our gift to you."

Listening to Ji Ming's statement, Baptiste's expression did not change at all, but his eyes fell on the bottle of wine.

"What about this? What does this mean?"

See, I knew he would care more about this bottle of wine than the other two suggestions…

Ji Ming generously unscrewed the Reynolds whiskey and let the smell of the wine drift out in the forest breeze.

"This means cooperation, friends. We have reached an agreement to jointly form an underground parliament. In the future, we will make money together, fight wars together, and share the benefits together."

"Underground Council?"

This is also the final answer that the players came up with under the current crisis and the chaotic situation in the underground plain.

Baptiste's idea is correct. The forces in the plains need to be integrated and the forces need to be unified. It is useless to be cowardly, so that they can fight against the outsiders who have discovered this place.

However, his idea of ​​temporarily borrowing external help and then counterattack after his intention was achieved has been proven by history to be a bizarre and foolish move that will be ridiculed for eternity.

Without player intervention, there is a 100% chance that the underground plains would have been brought into the Tongliao Universe and Extraterrestrial Extra Chapter by the mountain mercenaries, and added to the excellent matching mechanism of the African region, thus falling into an endless cycle of poverty, hunger, crime, and collapse.

Therefore, the player's solution is to rely on their absolute business voice and military persuasion to establish cooperative organizations with the leaders of major tribes.

Everyone in the underground plains stays together to stay together and resist all challenges that may arise in the future - of course, under the leadership of the player.

Although there is still selfishness, compared to the mercenaries, he is extremely kind, and he can be called "Asashi" by Japanese manga heroines with tears.

And after the public beta leaves the underground world, you can still use this method to infinitely devour more fragmented forces.

If it were the real world, the final outcome would most likely be overturning due to the weakening of one's own strength, leading to a gloomy ending of division.

But this is a game. There is nothing but a large number of players. Players can do anything but not "die".

It's just a personal behavior now. When the public beta starts, many official forces will come to an end, and more creative talents will come, and their power will only grow like a snowball.

Players will firmly control the organization and embark on the road to salvation under the guidance of a certain manipulator.

As for the rest...

Ji Ming asked Yang Yue about the feasibility of this idea, but the little boss's answer was also confused.

[I don’t know, although there have been saviors who have chosen to form a team of heroes or even unite countries, but they have never tried anything similar]

Also, being able to withstand the arrival of so many outsiders depends solely on the infinite energy of a high-dimensional creature like myself. How could other time travelers set a precedent?

In this case, why not give it a try?

Baptiste was silent for a long time, and finally reached out to take the wine bottle, took out four glasses and poured a glass for each of them.

"Your idea is very tempting, human friend, and I think I am willing to give it a try."

"very good."

It would be a good thing to have Baptiste, who originally planned to launch a war to unify the underground plains by force, change his mind and switch to a more conciliatory cooperative relationship.

As he drank a glass of wine, Ji Ming's "Zheng Qi Health Kung Fu" began to increase sharply. With the merit of killing the priest before, Ji Ming directly reached the fifth level.

Good people and good deeds are done regardless of race and identity. The faces of Sha Ge and Fei Huo, who were considered kind-hearted, also had smiles with Force Sensitivity +3 on their faces.

Baptiste only thought that they were celebrating his success and didn't think much about it. Instead, he quietly grabbed Ji Ming after the negotiation.

"Friends, what will happen to you if I choose to persist?"

Ji Ming lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said frankly.

"We'll take you to the dungeons and beat you until you learn to be kind."

Baptiste:! ! !

News of the successful negotiation spread to the dungeon, and the entire player community was thrown into jubilation.

The friendly forces united at the first opportunity, and the hostile forces were destroyed at the first opportunity. Now even the middle-class factions such as the Demon Spirit Tribe have turned to their side.

Invisibly, the Pioneer Council has completed its complete control of the underground plains. As long as the thieves and mercenaries are driven out of their homes, they can enter a new stage.

[Hey, I have been fighting in the game world for so long, but I have never seen what the sky here will look like. I am looking forward to it]

Looking at the excited chat among the players on the public screen, Ji Ming just shook his head.

They don't understand, but as Dean An's "old friend", they know this group of mercenaries who are essentially bandits very well.

It is completely impossible to get them to retreat despite the difficulties, especially in this situation.

Andrew completely used his personal credibility and fabricated wealth to win over the hearts and minds of his mercenaries. If this lie was exposed...

I'm afraid it will be a desperate counterattack that can be called crazy and would like to destroy everything.

And this is what Ji Ming has been waiting for, the end that Andrew deserves.
