Players’ NPC daddy

Chapter 793 Are you still paid to work?

The next second when the store manager Yuri saw hope, the spark of hope was extinguished.

With just one sentence, the inflated green frog made the store manager Yuri fall into an abyss even deeper than before.

"Is this the day knot?"

Strangers are not free labor, they want to be paid, and the payment must be proportional to their efforts.

At this moment, the crowds of strangers suddenly went from hope to despair.

The current [Hermes' Traveling Hat] would definitely not be able to come up with so much money to hire so many strangers.

Everything is over.

Unexpectedly, a miracle happened, but he did not catch the power of the miracle.

"Yes... yes." The store manager Yuri almost bit his lips as he said this. He could not lie to the customers and employers, otherwise it would go against the purpose of [Hermes' Traveling Hat].

Bankruptcy will only make [Hermes's Traveling Hat] exit the stage of history, but a credibility crisis will kill [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

Next, whether the Puffy Green Frog leaves because the reward is too low, or a large number of strangers take over the commission, [Hermes' Traveling Hat] will be doomed.

But at least I held on until the end.

Just when the store manager Yuri was completely desperate, the puffy green frog said in a very light tone.

"Oh, it's quite cheap, I'll just pay for one year first!"

"Eh!?"

A small purse fell on the table, and the dazzling gold coins inside made the store manager Yuri dazed. Because of the huge shock, after all the ups and downs, only one sentence popped into the mind of the store manager Yuri.

You guys...are still paid to work.

The store manager Yuri instinctively accepted the money bag, signed his name in the authorization column of the order with a bright smile, and handed it to the inflated green frog along with the project order that was originally planned to take ten years and a thousand people to complete.

"Next person!"

The puffy green frog left happily, and the store manager Yuri greeted the next stranger with a smile.

It's not cheating when both parties are willing, it's a win-win situation.

The strangers said it was cheap, so what was wrong with it? If any stranger asked for compensation, he would definitely give it, but if no one asked...

That is God's will!
Would you? Definitely not!
Because players only appeared at the construction site after seeing the official warm-up event, the super-long construction line, which is as long as the diameter of a planet, is enough for every player to join in and have room to spare.

This is definitely a permanent way to play, and you can brag to others in the future: "See this Great Wall of tens of thousands of miles? From here to here, I built it all!"

And for the first time, the official also clearly marked that this is a reputation mission, and as long as you join it, you can continue to gain a lot of reputation.

No one will miss the opportunity to gain reputation, as reputation is the most basic requirement for cultivating ties with NPCs and automatically generating tasks as part of the core gameplay.

In addition, the local laws in the game clearly stipulate that buildings built in neutral zones belong to the builders, and after [Hermes's Traveling Hat] buys the land, it becomes a neutral zone.

No longer need to defeat powerful bosses to gain reputation, or join a guild to have the right to rent land, now you only need to go to [Hermes's Travel Hat] to accept orders, and you can get the right to build a house! It is no longer a dream to get those interesting and fun professions that everyone knows, [Farmer], or even [Village Chief] [City Lord]!

With just 1 gold coin a day, you can have the right to build your own small territory!
Ordinary players are happy, lone wolf players are happy, but what about those high-level players who join guilds? They are even happier. Sharing a house and living alone with your own house are two different things.

But the killing players were somewhat unhappy because they could not participate in this event. As mobile treasure houses, how could they successfully obtain commissions among the huge crowds of players?

Wearing the [Wanderer's White Robe] can hide your identity, but everyone uses their real faces, and only a few people hide their identities. There is no way to hide the identity of the murderer player.

It is said that there is a branch of [Hermes's Travel Hat] that specializes in cooperating with killing players. You only need to pay ten times the price of normal players to get the construction commission.

Ten times is only 10 gold coins a day. It won’t hurt after a long time. At most you just have to do more tasks.

“Hahahahaha——” Herbie threw his head back and laughed so hard that he almost died of laughter.

In less than half a day, the almost collapsed activity funds of [Hermes' Travel Hat] suddenly swelled up.

Suppose it takes 10 units of wealth to buy a village unit, while a stranger who rents a village unit only provides a tiny amount of wealth that is almost insignificant.

However, a village unit comes with an incredibly large neutral area around it, and those neutral areas can also be rented to strangers. When stacked together, plus the annual payments made by strangers, the wealth far exceeds 10 units.

Although they cannot cancel each other out in terms of town units, [Hermes's Travel Cap] has longer and more monster-infested areas, which are truly free neutral zones that anyone can occupy.

No matter which kingdom it is, they will tacitly allow someone to build something there, because once it is built, they can take advantage of it, impose taxes by force, or directly occupy it.

Even [Hermes's Traveling Hat] was afraid to plant a flag in the monster area, but now the people occupying that area are strangers, and not just one or two strangers, but a lot of strangers.

No kingdom or force would be foolish enough to touch the interests of a large number of foreigners, who are the most powerful forces in the world.

Herbis thought about it and spoke out his summary in front of the senior executives who were staring at the income slips in amazement.

“This is the power of the masses.”

Who could have imagined that the most powerful race in this world - the strangers - was also the most populous race in the world.

Kullene, who was sitting opposite the long table, put his feet on the table quite impolitely, and the smile on his face clearly showed that he had known that this would happen.

"Tsk." Hebie smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. After all, she was no match for this old guy.

Compared to her gambler-like mentality with a praying heart, Kullene's speculation and planning were very rational.

"The high-level monster areas are left to those high-level strangers, and the relatively safe areas are left to strangers below LV75, so that no one will suffer. However... I don't know if they can stop the monster waves after the world turns upside down."

"And the available places have almost been dispatched. Compared with the overall number, only a small number of foreigners have received commissions."

"If you can't stop it, just make a few more layers." Kullene took out an onion from his pocket.

"What we need is to complete the barriers as soon as possible and reduce the area rented to foreigners to a level where the walls can be built within half a month at the latest, so that the barriers they build can overlap."

"Then the strangers will finish the task too quickly... We need to maintain our enthusiasm." Herbie touched his chin, his eyes fixed on the shrinking map.

"Oh, there are still three more."
