Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

"So will the war still be fought?"

"You have a pioneer mission but you don't want to do it and go to war? Are you crazy? Even if you go to war in the future, stay away from the town. I don't want to lose the favor of the pioneers."

"Wait, does this town mean we can live in it too? I don't want to sleep in that shabby, smelly campsite any longer."

The players approached Xia Yuan while whispering to each other. Ursula tensed her body and prepared to escape with Xia Yuan.

But when she saw the warm smiles on the faces of the undead, she could no longer stop wondering, what was wrong with this employer, Sakta, that he could make the undead open up to him with just a few words? What kind of bullshit was this?

The players also noticed the pink-haired beautiful girl in mercenary uniform and the blonde lady in military uniform standing behind Xia Yuan, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"These two girls are wrapped so tightly, hehehe, I want to smell their shoes and feet."

"Where did these two NPCs come from?"

"Brother, didn't you read the forum? This lady was with the pioneer when he left Casimir. As for this pink-haired girl, she should be a new NPC."

Ursula felt the gazes of these undead players lingering on her face and her feet, and she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. Did these undead players want to attack her?

Jian no longer cares about the players' gazes. Perhaps she has been immune to it from the beginning. As a black knight who roams the field, she has never lacked attention and has long been accustomed to it.

Players found pathfinders for reconnaissance and collection, swords for melee combat, crossbows for ranged combat, and even rare staffs in Xia Yuan's shop! Staffs are not cheap, or rather, they are too rare. Many players who choose the Sarkaz race choose the Warlock profession, but they are not infected and cannot freely perform Originium skills, so they have been doing logistics and supply work so far.

Who doesn’t want to be a wizard and shout “Explosion”? Explosion is romance!

Not to mention the high-durability, high-attack equipment with attributes sold by Xia Yuan. Look at the equipment issued by the Sarkaz Army. All they got were broken swords and knives. Even the mercenary uniforms were low-durability gray-quality equipment. This also made players complain in their hearts, you want people to run away but you don’t give them food, are you fighting a vicious war?

Xia Yuan's front was suddenly crowded with players. They stared at the pioneer with shining eyes, as if he was the center of the world. They took out the Sarkaz currency and Lungmen coins they had saved up in the past few months and spent lavishly in his shop. After spending to a certain extent, their favorability was unlocked. They also found a lot of new sub-professions in the book shop, including Casimir's representative sub-profession, the knight!

The players were delighted by this discovery. They were able to learn Casimir's secrets without leaving home. They were completely satisfied.

Xia Yuan had plundered six-digit assets and more than 400,000 experience points from the players. The Sarkaz players had no place to spend their money on entertainment, and the only equipment they could buy was junk, so many players became hamsters. The wealth they had accumulated was much more than that of the players in Casimir's Columbia.

Xia Yuan was happy, and so were the players. After they were happy, the players began to observe the tasks carefully.

No hint? It's not like MC where you have to dig dirt, chop trees, and build things, right?

In this case, asking the NPC who issued the task is the fastest way. The captain of the Dynasty team, Huang Tian Hou Tu, stepped forward and asked politely, "Mr. Pioneer, do you have any requirements for the town?"

"I want to create a town where both sides can communicate peacefully..."

Xia Yuan talked about the requirements for the town. The facilities were no different from those of an ordinary settlement. There were undoubtedly residential areas, trading areas, development areas, and planting areas... It seemed that the quality of the land was too poor to grow any plants.

As Xia Yuan continued to speak, a prompt bar popped up in front of the players.

[Obtain the initial sketch of the development town]

With the sketch, players immediately know what materials they need to collect, how much materials to collect, and side quests such as finding animals... The player team with the highest contribution can obtain 50% of the experience in the prize pool!

The maximum number of people in a team is 30, which means that the average person in the team with the highest contribution can reach level 7 or 8! Max out the skill and feature levels!

"Fate God! My fate God!"

Chapter 48 I Hear the Earth’s Lament

The Sarkaz players immediately became happy. The long war had made most of them sick of war. They went online every day as if they were playing an endless game of For Honor. Even the players who liked PVP found it hard to hold back. They also envied the players from Yan Kingdom who played Overcooked, the players from Ursus who played Gold Miner, and the players from Lethannia who played Osu and Muse Dash.

But I heard that Leitania players would rather play flight simulation.

They also want to take a short break and enjoy the coffee by the Seine, the bar street on Avenue d'Or, and the colorful world... Even if they can't enjoy these, fishing is always okay, right?

Fortunately, the arrival of the pioneers has given them a new mission, a new direction, and a brand new door. Now they can finally tell themselves that they are playing Minecraft, Terraria, and Stardew Valley!

Since the upper limit of a team size is thirty people, several familiar gaming guilds merged into one team. The Dynasty Team of the Tracys Army approached the Theresia Army's gaming guild and several high-level players, meaning that fighting for life and death on the battlefield was a mission, and it is also a mission now. We are all players and good brothers, so how about doing it?

Do it!

So, more than ten high-level players of Theresa’s army, including Yang Yan XF, joined the Dynasty team’s small group. The team leader Huang Tian Hou Tu also invited Dan Dao Dan Tart, Magic ZX and Qiu Muyu. As players who triggered the hidden task, they all wanted to get close to the Pioneer. Maybe the Pioneer had noticed them?

The three of them also received the mission from the pioneers, and after weighing the pros and cons, they chose to join.

In addition to the high-level players, the remaining few gaming guilds also organized themselves.

Players can now create so-called guilds, which is also the fate of most high-level players and professional players. Seeing the big guys in a group, the rest of the players also gathered together to form a temporary team. Many players who were fighting for their lives on the battlefield yesterday have now become teammates. It must be said that fate is really amazing.

Xia Yuan smiled. The success of his mission was thanks to the fact that the civil war between the Theresis Army and the Theresia Army had not stopped since last year, which made the players feel tired of war. He just set up a reward pool mission and easily attracted all the players.

You have to know how many players there are in Kazdel? At least one-tenth of the total players, at least 800,000 to 900,000 people, and there are at least 100,000 players on both sides in this battlefield alone. Players will pass messages between each other, and it won't be long before players in other battlefields will flock here to help them build the town.

As for why it was called a town... the name didn't sound advanced. It couldn't be called a mobile village, right? And with Xia Yuan's current level of technology, it was obviously a foolish dream to knock out the core of a mobile city on the spot.

This place is indeed in a good location as the player's main city. It is backed by a naturally formed rock mountain and only requires three walls to be built. It is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Xia Yuan estimated that if all the Sarkaz players joined in, including their own experience, the final prize pool experience would exceed one million.

Naturally, he was prepared to "help" these players. At least he had to take good care of the high-level player combinations of the Dynasty Team, as he was also very eager for the experience.

Ursula blinked her golden eyes as she watched from the side. She couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. Why did these undead suddenly stop fighting? Did both armies simply lay down their weapons? Even undead from different forces joined the same team? What happened in this world?

It was as if the battle between Teresis and Theresa had never happened. These Sarkaz undeads were writing and drawing on the ground with happy smiles on their faces. Many of them had already left with their bags to collect materials? Could hatred be resolved so easily? Then what was the point of the Sarkaz mercenaries fighting now?

As long as they are given a goal and build a city of their own, they will work hard?

Ursula was in a state of uncertainty. She seemed to be torn between her conscience and her conscience because she suddenly felt that nothing mattered. Her employer could unite these undead so easily. Doesn't it make the top leaders of both armies seem like clowns?

"Trust your employer." Sister Jian Yu comforted the young Ursula. She looked at the tall Xia Yuan with a smile in her eyes. "Only the boss can communicate with these 'adventurers' like this."

“Watch more, think more. Sometimes, you don’t get the answer by asking questions. If you haven’t experienced it yourself, you won’t understand it.”

"Thank you, Mace."

Ursula thanked Mace awkwardly but politely, and the latter waved his hand, still as cool as ever.

The game that the players were playing suddenly became my world. The players' enthusiasm increased a lot. He came to Ursula and Mace and said, "I want to go out with the adventurers. Ursula, you will act with me and show us the direction."

"Too..." Ursula's lips moved. She was about to say it was too dangerous, but after seeing Xia Yuan's calm golden eyes, she took back the words. She nodded, "I understand, employer."

As for Sister Jian Yu, just ask her to look after the curious Senomi and watch over the camp.

Under the surprised and shocked gazes of the players, the two aircraft took off and flew to Xia Yuan's side and stopped. With the patrollers, Xia Yuan would naturally have Ursula's protection and should not be under too much threat.

The players were all stunned. This was the first time they saw Xia Yuan’s mechanic side, and stars immediately appeared in their eyes.

As a group, many people bought Pathfinder as equipment needed for collecting materials. As a seller and creator of the Pathfinder, Xia Yuan's outfit made many people yearn for the Mechanic.

It's also time to put the mechanic's secondary occupation book on sale in the store.

Xia Yuan thought about it, and he took a step forward to Huang Tian Hou Tu and the others who had not yet set out, and spoke in front of their surprised gazes, "Adventurers, I wonder if you need a little help. I will clear the way for you, and the mercenary lady next to me will show us the way."

The Dynasty Team and a group of high-level players were surprised and delighted. Did this trigger a hidden mission?

Sure enough, the decision to bring Egg Knife Egg Tart, Magic ZX and Qiu Muyu into the team was the right one. They couldn't suppress the joy on their faces. Finally, they caught up with the hidden mission!

The other players were immediately jealous.

"Oh my god, someone triggered the hidden mission again. This time it's not just one person but a group. Why?"

"Could it be that there are three magic teachers in their team, and they went over to help because they are old acquaintances?"

"I think the hidden mission will be triggered by the players who first create a team to complete the mission. Huangtian and Houtu are the first to form a team."

"...That makes sense. Wow, we are slower than them in forming a team!"

The players beat their chests and stamped their feet. If they were faster, they might be the ones who triggered the hidden task.

At the same time, some players also posted messages on the forum, and thousands of words were condensed into a few sentences, "The pioneers brought two beautiful NPCs to Kazdel, and want to create a neutral and safe shelter for the players here! The first to arrive in the shelter construction reward pool task will have an advantage, and the reward pool experience will be distributed according to the contribution!"

The players on the forum were all dumbfounded. Many people thought that the next stop of the Pioneer would be Ursus from the news of the Magic ZX update. Some Russians who knew the news were screaming with excitement, but they didn't expect that it turned a corner and stopped in Kazdel.

No, Pioneer brother, aren't you Sakota? Why are you standing so brazenly on Kazdel's land?

Some Sarkaz players directly argued back, where does racial discrimination come from in this land? Aren't they all human? I hope the Fate God stays in Kazdel for a little longer, oh well.

The Sarkaz players posted touching and crying emojis on the forum while speeding towards the pioneers. "Fate God, my fate God! Let's do it!"

These were all things happening in real time on the forum, and Xia Yuan, who was negotiating with the Heaven and Earth, naturally knew nothing about it.

"Of course, we are very happy to get a helping hand from Mr. Trail Blazer. Your arrival is really a timely help!" Huang Tian Hou Tu was not used to flattering people, and he forced out a few words, which sounded quite normal. Only the Winners and Losers and the other professional team members behind him were trying very hard to hold back their laughter.

【Pioneer Lv? Already joined the team】

[Ursula Lv? Already joined the team]

The players immediately benefited from Xia Yuan's team bonus, and grinned at the increase in their attributes. At the same time, they also set their sights on this tightly wrapped pink-haired beautiful girl. Hehehe, her name is Ursula Kouya. This name is really strong and powerful, very strong and powerful Kouya!

Ursula's body was tense and she was obviously a little nervous because she noticed some undead looking her up and down. Xia Yuan patted her shoulder and said, "Ursula, you are familiar with the terrain here. Where can you find stone and iron? Is there any water source nearby?"

Ursula took a deep breath, looked at the sun to identify the direction, and said to Xia Yuan: "There is indeed an abandoned iron mine nearby, but I don't know if it is controlled by military mercenaries."

Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "Then let's go."

The two Rangers belonging to Xia Yuan and the Pathfinders purchased by the Dynasty team flew into the sky. They could monitor whether there were any signs of life activities ahead through the real-time feedback on the screen, which could also save them a lot of physical energy.

"Mr. Pioneer, why did you come up with the idea of ​​building a town?" Magic ZX asked in a low voice. Yang YanXF, who was walking very close to the two of them, also turned his head.

Both of them are UP hosts and friends. They were very happy to meet each other this time. However, they both make game videos, but they have different focuses. Magic ZX likes to make some videos of passing difficult levels with low-level equipment, while Yang Yan XF mostly makes plot analysis, live broadcast process, etc. Everyone has his own advantages and specialties.

"Because I hear the earth's cry."

Xia Yuan sighed softly, "The Sarkaz civil war is a clash of two ideologies. I am not qualified to comment on who is right and who is wrong. I only know that on this scorched black land, some Sarkaz have become tired and bored with the war. They need a town to rest, where they can sleep peacefully."

"is that so..."

Yang Yan XF has great respect for the pioneers. As a Sakota who cares about world affairs, there has never been such a person in the past, and there may not be such a person in the future.

Magic ZX recorded this passage in his materials. Players have been waiting for a month, and the second video about the pioneers should be uploaded.

As for whether doing so would cause the Theresis Army and the Theresia Army to regard him as a threat, that was certain. By doing so, he had bewitched the undead under their command. Although the top leaders of both sides looked down on these undead, it did not mean that they would not use these undead as an excuse to send troops to attack them.

The current growth of players is not very good. This is the arrangement of the game. How long has Ark been launched? Xia Yuan has no choice.

But the only advantage is that he can develop in secret. After all, no one would come to the battlefield of the undead for no reason. If players want to get supplies, they have to walk for several days to the nearest military supply station to purchase them, and the round trip takes another week. Being so despised, the top leaders naturally won't pay attention to them.

They can still develop secretly for some time.

Xia Yuan himself didn't want his life to turn into a farming game. The purpose of doing this was not only to gather all the players in Sarkaz, but also to give them options other than war. Maybe the attitudes of these players could affect the NPCs and thus affect the development of Kazdel as a whole?

As for the group of older generation Sarkaz, Xia Yuan could only say that he had no responsibility at all. If the sky fell, there would be someone taller to hold it up. The current Tower of Babel and the future Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals could share some of the pressure with him.

It’s time to visit Victoria, not only for the advanced knowledge of the craftsmen, but also for the players there.

"Mr. Pioneer, a large number of life forms have been discovered ahead." The voice of Emperor Tian Hou Tu brought him back to reality. He looked at the display on his arm and saw many white figures moving back and forth around the mine.

Ursula moved closer to Xia Yuan and took a look. Xia Yuan smelled the healthy and energetic scent on her. Thanks to the shower function installed in his pickup truck, the two women in the team were able to take a shower in the wild. By the way, for a mercenary like Ursula, taking a hot shower every day was something that only happened in dreams.

"These are the hounds bred by the mercenaries... The mercenaries are gone, but their scent remains. The hounds are still guarding this place until they die."

Xia Yuan nodded, "Equip your weapons, the hounds are very fast, pay attention to the defensive formation, I will provide you with support."

Players are very familiar with these words. After NPCs join the team, they naturally play a supporting role, and the main force still depends on the players. Experience is so precious!

"Ursula, let me see your fighting skills." Xia Yuan was adjusting two Rangers and glanced at Ursula who was standing beside him.

Ursula took a step forward silently amid the excited gazes of the players, holding the sharp blade at her waist in her hand.

Chapter 49: Surrenders from All Directions

"Old formation, three heavy tanks go to the front!" As the captain and commander of the Dynasty team, Huang Tian Hou Tu is not the first time to experience such a battle. "Sniper and warlock, don't let the hounds get too close to the heavy tanks and medical staff. Guards, follow me!"

Xia Yuan was controlling two Patrols at the back, paying attention to Huang Tian Hou Tu's command. He nodded slightly. No wonder the Dynasty Team in the previous life played so well in the World Championship. It turned out that they were honed on the battlefield.

Ursula's figure was very fast. She seemed to be taking the route of quick attack and close combat. She held a medium-sized knife in her hand and nimbly avoided the hound's bite. With a backhand, she inserted the knife into the hound's neck and quickly withdrew her hand to avoid the possible infected blood.

There was no theatricality in her fighting, only the simplicity and efficiency of wanting to survive on the battlefield. Perhaps this was the fighting style of a mercenary. She didn't make any unnecessary movements, and each of her moves could take the life of the hound.

Someone was soon injured here. The hounds moved very quickly, which was a threat to some guards who didn't react in time. Soon someone's arm or thigh was bitten, and lost a lot of HP.

Xia Yuan glanced at the hounds on the players' side. The patrollers rose into the air and shot a crossbow with lightning from below, easily piercing the heads of the two hounds.

Huangtian and Houtu danced with the long sword in their hands with great vigor. As the most active professional player on the battlefield, he had practiced a lot of fighting skills in the past few months in Terra. In real life, the coach also found a martial arts coach for them, and they, a group of professional students, actually learned to swing swords in the martial arts gym.

The skills in reality were brought into the other world, making professional players such as Huangtian and Houtu feel very excited.

Of course, they are not the only players who do this. Other professional teams are also training their own professional players in an orderly manner. In addition to professional and advanced players, some students in Area 11 who specialize in kendo have found that they can also practice kendo with great vigor in "Ark".

Their strength is indeed good. Xia Yuan observed the battlefield. Ursula's fighting skills surprised him a little, but when he thought that the other party could survive in a land like Kazdel and become a mercenary, he must have some strength.

More than thirty hounds were slaughtered with concerted efforts. The medic in the player team used the staff awkwardly to heal his companions. After a battle, HP was fully restored, but MP would only recover naturally through rest.

Ursula put on gloves and carefully examined the hound's body, then reported to Xia Yuan: "Employer, it is not an infected organism, it is edible, and the iron ore is not contaminated."

The players' eyes widened when they heard Ursula's words. What did they hear? Eat hound meat? Eat...meat?
