Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

The scene changed, and the two of them, Egg Knife and Egg Tart, and Magic ZX, approached a knight to ask for a sparring match. As a result, Egg Knife and Egg Tart were knocked away by the opponent in two rounds. As a special profession, Magic ZX naturally hid in the shadows for a few more rounds, but was finally pulled out and disarmed by the knight. Qiu Muyu smiled and clapped on the side, and the knight gave a standard salute and left.

"Ahem, this knight's danger level is pink. It can be seen that the attribute gap is too big to challenge a higher level. The UP host has proved it to everyone with painful experience. All I ask for is a one-click triple combo—"

This little episode made the audience laugh, and many of them even wanted to become an apprentice or seek guidance from NPCs in real life. What followed was the final peak battle between the Black Knight and the Light Knight. The Black Knight was calm and unrestrained from beginning to end, while the Light Knight was crazy. The two of them, one still and one moving, made many players' eyes tingle with fear.

"The Black Knight disappeared after winning the championship. I heard that she had left Casimir. But a few days later, when the Trail Blazer took us away from Kavaleriaki, we actually spotted the Black Knight. She followed the Trail Blazer and even called him boss! How did these two people end up like this? This is still an unsolved mystery."

"At the same time, the pioneers also rescued a little mouse girl named Senomi from the slave market. She seemed to be very wary of everything. Considering that she was rescued by the pioneers, we might as well look forward to Senomi's role in future plots."

After that, the scenery along the way was amazing. The Magic ZX recorded the scenery of Ursus. The strict security and the guards in military uniforms with hostility made all the players swallow their saliva, and then they rushed all the way to Kazdel.

"We who followed the pioneer never thought that he, as a Sakota, would actually set foot on the land of Kazdel. However, considering what the pioneer said and did, we are not surprised. To him, all lives are equal, even the Sarkaz, who are discriminated against by the Terrans, are no different from Sakota. I don't want to call the pioneer a saint. On the contrary, I think the title of pioneer suits him very well. He is a person who travels all over the world and connects the stars on the earth. He is a person who travels all over the world and helps people solve their problems."

"What will happen in Kazdel next? What inhumane stories will happen between the Black Knights and the Pioneers? We will analyze it in the next issue!"

This episode of Magic ZX video has ended, and the response and popularity are just as terrifying as the previous one.

Players left messages one after another.

"One more reason to follow the pioneers, hehe, Black Knight Lady, hehe, Senomi Little Loli."

"Is this the joy of raising a child? If possible, I also want to raise a lovely daughter in the Ark and love her hehehe."

"Hehehe, the Black Knight is dressed so tightly, that must be very smelly, right?"

"Stuck in this barber shop!"

Chapter 51: Starting a life of poverty alleviation from scratch

Magic ZX teacher still makes videos in the same style as before. Players are surprised and happy about the arrival of the Black Knight, because in the video she is not only very good at fighting, a triple crown champion, but also a strong and beautiful lady of the royal sister type. Who would not love such a female NPC?

Everyone is curious about the relationship between the Black Knight and the Trailblazer, because from the video of Magic ZX, players know that the Black Knight is a powerful Casimir competitive knight, and it seems that he has nothing to do with the Trailblazer, who is a businessman? But why did the official answer given by the Black Knight after the game was that she had left Casimir, but she appeared next to the Trailblazer after the announcement?

Players who were sensitive to the plot immediately read that something was amiss. Players who delved deeply into the plot were more accurate than the other in their interpretation and prediction. The speculation with the most likes was that the Black Knight might have offended someone or some force in Casimir, and the authorities could not afford to offend them, so they informed the authorities that the Black Knight had "left".

As for why she appeared next to the Trailblazer and why she called him boss, players speculated that it might be because the Trailblazer gave the Black Knight a certain degree of help and hired her as his subordinate.

This speculation was confirmed by the players.

Xia Yuan was still a little surprised. The players' speculations were very accurate. However, Magic ZX had already described the course of events in such detail that anyone with an eye would naturally be able to understand what had happened.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan felt that he should set a task and send out his limited copy crystal [Type-0 Rainy Night Knight].

Players have a very high response to the Black Knight and the Mace. They are also very interested in Senomi. Ahem, there is nothing Xia Yuan can do about this. After all, the only things that can interest male players besides fighting and killing are beautiful girls.

This is also one of the reasons why he carries the mace with him. After all, male players will get bored of looking at his face every day, and they are not giving it to him. But if there are a few beautiful girl NPCs under his command, it will not be a problem, which will make male players feel the warmth at home.

In addition to the mace, Ursula also helped a lot in this regard.

You can try to get close to the character of Ursula. Xia Yuan put down the new blueprint in her hand. This mercenary lady has no stubborn idea of ​​war in her heart, and she has not sided with either Theresa or Theresis so far. Her goal is just to make the Sarkaz better.

In this regard, Xia Yuan is confident that he can win her over. After all, the most appropriate way to describe him at the moment is to say "My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just."

It seems a little too early to create a faction now, Xia Yuan pondered. It would be better to start preparing at least after his mechanic and gunsmith are promoted, at the end of player 1.0 and the beginning of 2.0. He does not have enough resources and connections, and more importantly, he does not have enough rare advanced knowledge. It would be a little too hasty to create a faction now.

The town has not been built yet, so it’s not a good idea to think too far ahead. Thinking of this, Xia Yuan lowered his head again and started to gamble on the blueprints.

The next day, Jian brought the yawning Senomi to Xia Yuan's tent. Jian looked at Xia Yuan and asked, "Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Xia Yuan rubbed his wrist and asked, "How did you know that?"

"A warrior can see a person's body rhythm and breathing rate, and can infer a person's condition from their standing posture and direction." Jian said, "You look like you only slept for a few hours last night."

Xia Yuan did not directly answer Jian's question. He glanced at Senomi and said, "You and Senomi should stay in the camp today. Senomi's classes will continue, but don't let a child of this age get too tired."

Mace smiled and rubbed Senomi's head, "I understand."

Seeing Xia Yuan showing his gentle side towards her and Senomi, Jian's face did not waver and she was still very happy in her heart.

After all, Jian always felt that she owed Xia Yuan a life. Logically speaking, she thought she should accept any excessive demands Xia Yuan made. However, Jian, who had fought side by side with him, knew that Xia Yuan, code-named Pioneer, was not such a person, and she was not wrong about him.

Although he was subordinate to Xia Yuan and obeyed his orders, Jian did not feel any discomfort or offense, because Jian knew that they were of the same kind in some matters.

Xia Yuan stretched and left. He spent the whole night gambling on blueprints yesterday, but the only thing that satisfied him was a green arm power device of the highest quality, which was far from the blue he dreamed of. He had thought about buying blueprints before, but there was no market for them. The only three ways to get them were to travel around the world to explore, to enter Victoria's military factories to learn from them, and to go to his master Dürrenmatt and cry poor. Maybe he would give him a blue blueprint out of pity.

But the possibility is not high. Dürrenmatt's whereabouts are uncertain and he may have moved away a long time ago.

So Xia Yuan could only use the last resort on gambling, but his luck was E. All the results that night were rubbish, which made him a little overwhelmed.

He came to the task bar and updated some new tasks on it. While adding gathering tasks, he also released killing tasks to clear hidden dangers, and production tasks to produce materials and build buildings. To be honest, the tasks posted were not much different from those in other settlements and towns on this land, but they were something new for the Sarkaz players.

In addition, Xia Yuan is still planning residential areas. Players can't sleep in tents at night, right? It's a bit unrealistic to find high-tech materials for production. Homes made of stone and wood are very suitable for the current situation, which is much better than ventilated tents.

He wants to make players feel the warmth of "I have a home", just like in the past, no matter how many generations of GTA they played, some players always look forward to the size of the house and the interior decoration. Not to mention the competition for houses, every player likes to decorate his house and yard beautifully, so that other players passing by will also think that the owner has good taste.

The player's private cabin can make the player feel involved in this otherworldly game. The feeling of having a real home is different. In addition to decorating the house, the player will also invite friends to visit, and even engage in RP to open taverns, dance halls and other activity centers to give other players a greater sense of involvement.

To this end, Xia Yuan has marked out a large area on the map as a residential area, and a lot of materials are needed.

In addition, he also wanted to plan a meeting center in the center of the map, where players or their representatives could enter for meetings or votes. Xia Yuan was not prepared to become a dictator, and he could not stay in this town permanently. How much hatred would it cause for a Sakota to build a town in Kazdel? He didn't want to stay here and have the Tresis army come to his door the next day.

In addition, he put the craftsman's profession book on the shelves in his own bookstore. With the craftsman as a secondary profession, players can also build buildings and draw blueprints.

When players saw Xia Yuan habitually open his personal store and discovered the craftsman's profession book, many production players laughed out loud. With the craftsman profession, they could repair the durability of weapons and equipment much more efficiently.

They soon discovered a special reward in the item shop.

"Instance crystal, mission reward, what mission?"

"It seems that the reward is only given after completing the task of building twenty towns."

"Are the dungeon crystals what I imagined? The kind of dungeon crystals that can be used to spawn equipment like in other games?"

The players whispered to each other and looked at the unlocking conditions. It didn't seem difficult to complete twenty tasks, so they crowded in front of the task board and began to accept tasks.

Xia Yuan saw that they immediately started moving and nodded secretly. This was a virtuous cycle.

As a production player, Qiu Muyu naturally bought the craftsman profession book directly. The Dynasty team held a simple meeting on the shelter prize pool last night, meaning that different people in the team should perform their respective duties. Those who are good at hunting should hunt, those who have exploration as a secondary profession should explore, those who are good at gathering should gather, and those who are good at production should produce. Only by making achievements in different aspects can they maximize their progress.

The atmosphere within the team was still a bit tense, because they didn't expect so many people to come. The total number of people on the battlefield originally only added up to five digits, but they didn't expect that after it was posted on the forum, more and more players would join, and the pioneer's city map had to be drawn larger and larger.

Having more people is not a good thing for them, but a bad thing, because with more people, there is more competition. Look at the European Samurai team yesterday, they will definitely try their best to get the first place in the prize pool task.

So Qiu Muyu did not follow Huangtian Houtu, Dandao and Danta to participate in the hunting and exploration mission today. Instead, he worked with the production players to rub materials and carry out manufacturing work.

Xia Yuan led by example. His craftsman level was very high, and the possibility of making mistakes during construction was zero. In front of production craftsmen such as Qiu Muyu, he built several stone brick apartments from the ground in just two days, which could accommodate a total of hundreds of players.

Such efficiency makes the eyes of production players shine. They see their own future in the pioneers. Perhaps this is the way for production players to make money!

"Ursula, do you think you Sarkaz would be willing to live in a city like this?"

One evening, Xia Yuan stopped Ursula, who was in a hurry, and asked her.

Ursula has been in good spirits these days, but like Xia Yuan, she is busy from morning to night. While practicing martial arts, she is also carrying out some tasks. Sometimes she can only be seen at night.

Jian felt much more comfortable. She didn't have so many tasks. Her task was only to teach Senomi and let her have a good foundation since childhood.

Ursula obediently came to Xia Yuan. As one of the few people in the city who was not "undead", Ursula was silent for a while, "I don't know if they will accept the infected."

"They are not infected, not even one of them." Ursula said softly. Being a Sarkaz but not infected, this would make many Sarkaz people envious. "To us, they are strangers. To them, are we not strangers too?"

Today's players haven't come into contact with too much of the polluted land on Kazdel. As players, they naturally cherish their lives very much and never participate in missions with the risk of infection. They all live in fear. If this is a chicken-eating game, each of these players is Voldemort.

"Are you afraid? Afraid that you won't be received?"

"Because we've become accustomed to discrimination." Ursula smiled, her smile carrying a hint of girlish beauty. "We've become so accustomed to it that we've become numb to it... But just when we were numb, suddenly a large number of Sarkaz who were not infected appeared in droves. They seemed to have never experienced discrimination or contempt. To be honest, I envy them."

"Do you know how humans can be infected with Originium?"

Ursula thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Exposure to a highly polluted source stone dust environment, and the blood of the infected will also be infected."

Xia Yuan added: "Another reason is that the injured part is contaminated by the Originium."

“If an infected person comes into contact with a non-infected person, will the non-infected person become infected?”

"...have no idea."

"will not."

Ursula never revealed whether she was infected or not, and Xia Yuan had no interest in asking. He just grabbed Ursula's wrist.

“It won’t get infected.”

"Why is a disease that is not obviously contagious so discriminated against in the nearby Ursus Empire? This has nothing to do with the disease itself. It is the malice of the superiors that leads to the low status of the infected." Xia Yuan said calmly: "Discard the idea that the infected are inferior to others. In my heart, the infected are human beings, and the non-infected are also human beings. Even if the status of the infected in other cities and other countries is low, here, I hope that the infected can live in peace with the non-infected."

Ursula blinked in a daze, lowered her head, and gently broke free from Xia Yuan's hand, "I understand."

"In a couple of days, Jian and I will be out of town, so I'll leave this place to you for now."

"Me...me?" Ursula was stunned. What did the employer mean by this? Was he just putting such an important task on her?

"You have the talent of a commander, Ursula. You shouldn't just be a mercenary who charges into battle." Xia Yuan nodded. "During this period, you couldn't do any better. You have won my trust. I think you should cultivate yourself more in this aspect. This land has no shortage of mercenaries, but it lacks commanders."

Ursula looked away. She always felt that Xia Yuan looked like a priest at this moment... although there was no definition of priest in the Sarkaz. "... Employer, I understand."

She gave Xia Yuan a mercenary salute, turned around and didn't leave, with a sigh on her lips: "It would be perfect if the employer was the Sarkaz."

Xia Yuan did not answer after hearing this. He really didn't know what to say to this young girl with such naive ideas in her heart.

He returned to his tent and began to prepare for the next journey.

Going to Theresis's army would be suicide, so he planned to go to Theresia's army and visit the Tower of Babel. Naturally, he would have to bring a mace with him.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan curled the corners of his mouth.

Hehehe, Kal'tsit, we are finally going to meet!

Chapter 52: Type-0 Rainy Night Knight

The players were faster than Xia Yuan had expected. They completed the gaps in twenty tasks, and the copy crystals in Xia Yuan’s personal store became their rewards.

The copy crystal adopts a 24-person system, with six teams, and each team has four people participating.

The Dynasty team was busy from morning to night. This time, all members of the Dynasty team entered the dungeon, including several high-level players such as Yang Yan XF, Magic ZX, Egg Knife Egg Tart and Qiu Muyu. As the first batch of players to enter the dungeon trial, they naturally had to reach the highest level possible.

The level of Dynasty Team's captain, Huang Tian Hou Tu, is stuck at 24. However, in his words, 24 of these 3 levels are useless secondary occupations. Among so many players, only Kabus, who is also a professional player, is at the same level as him.

Having already spent a full year on Terra in the Ark, this progress is quite normal.

The copy crystal looks like a strange crystal, which looks like a fusion of the mother crystal in Fei Fei and the transfer crystal in Sword Art Online. After Huang Tian Hou Tu touched the crystal, a prompt bar appeared in front of them.

[You have triggered the memory crystal [Type-25 Rainy Night Knight], recommended level 24, team size 24/, do you want to participate? ]

The players clicked OK at the same time. They didn't even look at the recommended level. They were here to explore the land. If they took it seriously, they would lose. They gradually felt their bodies being wrapped and transported into another world, which was similar to when they logged in.

As the players were greeted by freezing rain, they looked around at the surrounding buildings and the ground.

"Isn't this Cavalleriaki of Casimir?" Magic ZX said immediately.

Everyone had watched the magic teacher's video and nodded at the same time. The modern city before them made everyone except the three players who followed the pioneers feel dazed. All they saw every day was the charred earth, and the feeling of finally seeing a modern city was wonderful for them.

But soon the beauty was driven away by the system's prompt sound.

[Please choose to join the faction——]

Players found that two options popped up, one of which was Trailblazer/Black Knight, and the other option was?

"What does this mean? Does the question mark mean it hasn't been unlocked yet?" A high-level player clicked on the question mark and found that it was selectable.

And the next moment after he made his choice, a number (1/24) appeared under the question mark.

"This should be a voting option." Everyone has played many online games and is familiar with this function.

"Huangtian, which side do you choose?" The expert player asked the leader of the group, Huangtian Houtu.

Huang Tian Hou Tu did not hesitate. "The dungeon can be triggered an unlimited number of times a day. We have watched the magic teacher's video and know the strength of the Black Knight and the Trail Blazer. Let's choose the Trail Blazer first."

Everyone nodded and chose the options of Trail Blazers and Black Knights without any prior agreement.

Everyone's eyes went dark, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a high-rise apartment. The TV was broadcasting the championship game of the Cavaliers' athletic finals tonight, and from the window they could see the arena in the distance with strong lights swaying.

A line of prompts appeared in their taskbar.

[Objective: Escort the Black Knight into the sewer. The Black Knight's health must not be less than 70%]

[Countdown 5 minutes——]

Everyone has played large-scale dungeons, so they naturally know that this kind of side quest is linked to each other. Huangtian Houtu coughed and said, "This should be an escort mission. The Black Knight is obviously going to the arena to compete, and there is a high possibility that he will be assassinated by unknown forces on the way. This is why we need to conserve the Black Knight's physical strength."

"As for the next step, it may be to make the Black Knight maintain a healthy amount of health before reaching the target location, otherwise it will be considered a mission failure."
