Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

Forget it, I still have to visit the border novice towns of Yan Country, Ursus and Dong Country, and the same goes for Victoria.

"Oh, the new issue of Terra Daily is here."

After seeing the live broadcast post, Xia Yuan immediately clicked on it. The screen showed CG and screenshots of players as the entrance music. The number of viewers in the lower left corner exceeded six digits in a few seconds. After the music sounded, the camera zoomed in and the three hosts greeted everyone.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaolang, I pay attention to hot news and share game information. Welcome to the latest issue of Terra Daily."

"I am Yang Yan XF."

"I am Moonlight."

Yang Yan XF said: "It has been nearly a month and a half since the last Terra Daily. During this time, we have accumulated a lot of interesting stories and oddities waiting for everyone to explore and listen to."

Xiaolang's wolf ears twitched. He looked at Yang YanXF's clothes and said, "Hiss... Your equipment is very cool. Could it be the equipment sold by the pioneers?"

Yang YanXF smiled and said, "Didn't you see what everyone on the forum said? The Pioneers have come to Kazdel some time ago. I'm Sarkaz. It's normal for me to buy the Pioneers' equipment, right?"

Yue Ye held his chin with both hands to express his envy, "That's great. I'm too far away from Kazdel. I wonder when the pioneers will be able to come to Sargon."

Xia Yuan didn't expect that she would be cueed soon after the show started. The audience on the barrage were interacting crazily, and most of them were jealous.

This time, the Terra Daily discussed the time of singularity, which is called exploring secret places in other games. There are too many things on the land of Terra that have not been explored or touched by humans.

This is also due to the progress of the players' game. After they settle down around the Novice Town, they naturally have to complete the tasks in the town, which naturally includes pioneering tasks to expand the territory of the Novice Town. Most players have learned the secondary profession of pioneers. After all, the good things dug up during the pioneering process can be sold to NPCs.

Of course, the focus is not the process, but the result of this pioneering.

"According to what we learned from the outside world, the Evil Genius Team of the United States dug out an ancient magic sword when they completed a pioneering mission. This magic sword is an ancient creation with very powerful properties, but it also has high attribute requirements for the user." Yue Ye said.

Yang Yan XF echoed, "This land hides too many secrets, and there are countless secret realms waiting for players to dig and explore. The Evil Geniuses team is currently undergoing crazy training, hoping to be equipped with this magic sword as soon as possible... If successful, this will be a big challenge for the professional league in the Chinese region."

Xiaolang nodded. "But don't be too discouraged. After summarizing the properties of this magic sword, we found that players can only equip it at the end of 2.0. So we don't have to worry about being outnumbered in equipment in 1.0 professional competitions. By the end of 2.0, professional players in our Chinese region will probably be able to equip a lot of mysterious ancient weapons."

When Xia Yuan heard this, he remembered that in his previous life, such a sensational event had indeed happened on the Internet. The Evil Genius Team of the United States dug out a magic sword while exploring the ruins. It caused an explosive sensation at the time. Because the properties of this magic sword were good, another American team, the Cloud Team, offered a million to buy the weapon from the Evil Genius Team, but was rejected.

This incident sparked a "gold rush" among the players. They were keen on pioneering missions, hoping to find ruins and dig out good treasures, whether for their own use or to sell for money.

Similarly, this incident also set a precedent for the buying and selling of equipment in real life. Spending a million US dollars to buy a piece of equipment... is not that excessive, because the price of good-looking skins in CS2 is almost hundreds of thousands or millions of US dollars.

However, the skins in cs2 do not have +10 damage, while the equipment gap in MMORPG is overwhelming.

Evil Geniuses is also a professional team themselves, so they might have even decided who will start practicing as the Guards' sub-professional tactician from that day. How could they possibly sell it to their old rival Team Cloud in the same division?

Xia Yuan felt a little regretful that he did not participate in the search for singularities and the gold rush in his previous life. While players were searching for ruins all over the world, he was rubbing iron. While players were digging three feet into the ground, he was hammering iron. While players were escaping death in the ruins, he was sharpening iron.

If he had participated in the gold rush in his previous life, at least in this life he would have known the locations of several ruins and started excavating them in advance... What a pity, Xia Yuan felt that he had missed out on hundreds of millions of Longmen coins.

However, he knew that in the upcoming plot, the team led by Andorn would accidentally enter a ruin, and there, Mostima would shoot Andorn.

The weapon in the relic is a time-stopping weapon, which doesn’t seem to be of much help to Xia Yuan’s fighting style.

Are there any auxiliary weapons? Production weapons are fine too, Xia Yuan sighed. It's awesome. With his lucky E, the probability of encountering ruins is about the same as if he had completed the game and traveled back in time.

There is no such thing as clearing a level in MMORPG, so the probability of him encountering a relic is zero.

"Speaking of pioneering, the players in Kazdel have been enjoying themselves recently." Yang Yan XF brought the topic to anecdotes. "Everyone has learned a lot from the forum. The civil war in Kazdel has lasted for a whole year of Terra time, and there is no sign of stopping. The players in Kazdel, including me, spend every day in PVP on the Ark."

"And at this time, the man came!"

The upright figure of the Pioneer suddenly appeared on the screen. Standing behind him was the Black Knight known to the players, and there was also a beautiful girl with pink hair and golden eyes wearing a mercenary uniform.

“He saved us from endless PVP. Now, we officially start Minecraft.”

Chapter 54: Because I’m Afraid of Pain

"Oh my god, who is that beautiful mercenary girl? I want to see all the news about her within five minutes!"

"A pink-haired pretty girl, so classy. I wish Pioneer could kidnap a white-haired, red-eyed pretty girl someday. I will definitely follow Pioneer for the rest of my life!"

"Have you noticed that the eyes of the Pioneer Black Knight and the Pink-haired Mercenary are both golden? I'm so stupid!"

"The green flowers on the battlefield are the most lovable, hehehe."

Xia Yuan glanced at the barrage, well, among the NPCs he knew, were there any white-haired people who could join his team?

The first thing he thought of was the Deep Sea Hunters group, but it seemed that he and the Deep Sea Hunters had nothing in common and could not communicate with each other.

Saria is a white-haired person, but she has her own career to deal with and is an important member of Rhine Life. Xia Yuan can't drag her around Terra.

Who else is coming?

While Xia Yuan was thinking, Yang Yan XF began to introduce the situation of Kazdel, telling the players what kind of gaming experience they had experienced before, and how peace had finally been restored and every day was spent actively building the town.

Yang Yan XF analyzed: "We have learned about the personality and character of the pioneer from a lot of information and magic teacher's videos before. I didn't expect that when we met this time, I found that I had seriously underestimated such an NPC."

"How to say?"

"The local Sarkaz called us the undead, and sent us to a battlefield far away from them to kill each other. They gave us tattered equipment and dry bread. This is how they treat their fellow tribesmen." Yang YanXF shook his head and sighed, "But the Sarkaz's enemy, the Sarkota pioneer, did not do this. He brought us a brief peace, a new way of playing and durable equipment. He respected us, and he traveled all over Terra, helping whoever he could, even us players were no exception."

“Pioneers have great love.”

Student Xiaolang asked, "Did you get the memory crystal from the pioneers?"

When this was mentioned, the barrage of comments exploded again, with a bunch of players crying and begging pioneers to patronize their novice towns. They would offer the best resources and beautiful girls in the town just to buy equipment and get dungeon crystals.

Yang Yan's cheek twitched slightly. "Yes, I was fortunate enough to join the Dynasty Team's pioneering team with Magic Teacher and several other players...but the content of the dungeon was too difficult. It took us several days to pass the first mechanism without taking any damage."

"Is it so difficult?" Yue Ye exclaimed. This is a professional team and a group of high-level players. Is it so difficult to open up a new area?

Yang YanXF nodded, then shook his head. "We are trying to use different methods to pass the level. The world inside the dungeon crystal is an open world just like the Ark itself, so we believe that the same mechanism has many different solutions."

"Players who have obtained the dungeon crystal should know that this is a dungeon about the Black Knight and the Trailblazer." Xiaolang added that although he was in Syracuse, he still heard some news about the dungeon from the strategy team. "I believe that as the dungeon crystal is conquered, the relationship between the Black Knight and the Trailblazer will also be revealed to all of us."

"What is the question mark force hidden behind the scenes? Is there a third force hidden in the dungeon? Why is the Black Knight called the Trail Blazer Boss? I'm sure the players will solve these questions one by one."

"As for which area the pioneer will go to next, I will try my best to ask the pioneer indirectly. If I get the answer, I will share it in the forum. Players in that area can also start preparing money and experience in advance. I hope everyone can give me a one-click triple combo." Yang Yan XF made a bowing gesture, and the barrage of comments exploded again.

Afterwards, the three hosts began to read the players' letters and questions, and introduced in detail the unique tasks between the forces in different regions, the location of the profession books and the newly discovered secondary professions.

Xia Yuan didn't expect that his name still occupied a lot of space. It seems that it was wise for him to show up in front of the players from time to time. Moreover, the copy crystal also brought him a lot of new popularity and traffic.

It can only be said that female NPCs can indeed drive up popularity. After this episode of Terra Times ended, Xia Yuan took a look at the comment section. The comments with the highest number of likes were all beautiful photos of the Black Knight, Ursula, and Senomi. It was obvious that they were taken by players using the camera function.

Well...if Muerseth appears, maybe his popularity will increase? But he has to eat one bite at a time. It is not a good thing to have too many subordinates around him at once, because it is easy to stereotype players and make them unaware of the characteristics of each NPC. Putting aside this reason, it is also difficult for Muerseth to use Originium skills in Kazdel. The pollution here is so serious that it may be bearable for ordinary people wearing protective equipment, but it is equivalent to a natural disaster for elves.

Back to the topic just now, the speed at which the Black Knight appeared was acceptable. Ursula was not his subordinate to some extent, and it was impossible for him to carry her around... The Black Knight's pace was acceptable.

Wait until the Black Knight gradually becomes known to the players, and after most players have obtained the dungeon crystal and witnessed the bravery of the mace, it will be appropriate to introduce the next NPC.

Taking too big a step could easily lead to trouble, but Xia Yuan was not in a hurry. He believed that he would meet more famous or ordinary NPCs in his future journeys. At that time, he could consider who could join his camp.

"Xia Yuan, what are you thinking about?"

Jian opened the curtain and looked at Xia Yuan, who was lying on the table staring at the blueprint, with a strange look. "Everything is ready. Do you really not need to bring Miss Ursula with you this time?"

"Who will look after the house if I take her with me?"

Jian was worried that Xia Yuan would get lost in the scorched earth, but after hearing what Xia Yuan said, he no longer had any concerns.

She still admired the confusion in Ursula's heart, not knowing how uncertain the future of the Sarkaz would be... Unlike her boss, who was about the same age as Ursula, but he never looked confused. The side of him that he showed made people feel at ease and calm, and sometimes it made her feel magical.

For example, regarding the relationship between the boss and the adventurers, he had no fear at all and instead treated them like ordinary people.

This might be the boss's shining point, he has a fraternal heart, no matter the other party's racial origin, he will treat them equally... This is also one of the reasons why Xia Yuan convinced Jian.

Xia Yuan didn't know what Sister Jian Yu had in mind. He nodded and stood up. "Let's go tomorrow morning. Senomi will go with us."

"Understood, Boss, you should go to bed early."

Sister Jian Yu waved her hand and left. Xia Yuan stretched his body. He continued to draw a sketch of the city. This was the last thing he could do before returning.

Afterwards, he upgraded the Apprentice Gunsmith from Lv1 to Lv15, which gave him 3 points of dexterity, 2 points of intelligence and 15 points of free attributes. He has not accepted the promotion task yet because he does not have the knowledge to get promoted. If he wants to be promoted as an Apprentice Gunsmith, he has to go back to Lateran and complete the promotion tasks randomly assigned by the system.

After thinking for a while, he upgraded his rookie blacksmith to Level 10, gaining +1 strength and +1 endurance. After reading the blacksmith secondary occupation book in his item library, he became a blacksmith apprentice, accumulated more than 2 experience points, and maxed out his skills and characteristics. The maximum level of the blacksmith apprentice allowed him to gain +2 strength, +25 endurance, and free attributes.

After spending another 1 experience points to raise the mechanical strength from Lv10 to Lv, Xia Yuan re-examined his panel.

Xia Yuan's back teeth became hard. When did the system have the female ghost module?

Is level such an inconvenient thing? Level has never been used to measure a person's strength. Xia Yuan did not feel complacent just because he had reached the level of a 3.0 player. If his current combat power included machinery, he would probably not be able to defeat the Knight of Casimir who had passed several preliminary rounds.

Is his spirit too low? Although he is not a tank, as a support, what should he do if he is killed instantly? You know, there are many warlocks on the land of Kazdel, not to mention the pardoners in the royal court. If they cast a spell casually, they will probably explode, and even the mace can't save them.

What's more, Mace doesn't know the skills of Originium, so Xia Yuan thinks it's better to prepare for the future. As a support, no matter what his secondary job is, he is still afraid of the enemy getting close to him and playing sumo with him.

As for charm and luck...these two things cannot be clicked at all, they can only be acquired through acquired efforts.

"Is this what you call defending yourself because you're afraid of pain?"

Xia Yuan thought for a moment, and allocated 70 of the 20 free attribute points to endurance, and all 50 points to spirit.

[Attributes: Strength 33, Agility 38, Endurance 34, Intelligence 38, Spirit 53, Charm 9, Luck 1]

it is good!energetic!

The spiritual rise brought him a sense of satisfaction, and now he no longer felt too scared when encountering ordinary warlocks.

Who says supports are squishy? Today, I, as a support, will play melee with you.

Speaking of melee combat...is there a melee subclass that every class can learn that's suitable for their fighting style?

After dinner he found Ursula.

"I'm leaving tomorrow..."

"I know that you, my employer, will leave sooner or later." Ursula said softly, "After all, you are a Sakota, and your life safety cannot be guaranteed if you stay in Kazdel for a long time."

"Don't you protect me?"

Xia Yuan didn't care that Ursula had interrupted him before. He waved his hand and said, "I just went out to do something, not just leave."

"When I'm gone, you will take care of everything in the camp. I've prepared the blueprints for you. From now on, you will be the city lord and commander of this city." Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "If some Sarkaz mercenaries are willing, they can use this place as a temporary resting place."

"Really?" Ursula's voice was full of surprise, but she quickly discovered the misunderstanding in Xia Yuan's words, "I can only be the deputy city lord, and the city lord must be you."

"it is good."

Xia Yuan hummed.

A city must have NPCs. Otherwise, if it’s all players, who will run the city after they go offline?
