Chapter 35 Can Any Other Plan Be Done?
"This is the best blacksmith shop in the town. If your weapons are damaged, remember to come here for maintenance."
"You can buy your breakfast tomorrow from here. The bakers here used to be from the capital, and their craftsmanship is very good."
"This is the place to buy clothes. It's going to snow soon, so you should also prepare clothes for winter. If you don't like this style, there is another one on the street ahead."
"This is the Rotten Fish Bar. It sells a bitter beer called 'Danivene', which is said to be brewed from charred wheat, very nutritious, and a specialty of the frozen water port. You can taste it, but don't drink it. many."
"here is……"
Annan rode on a horse, like a tour guide, introducing the various "special buildings" of the frozen water port to the players behind him. Just like an old Beihai native who lived in Frozen Water Port for a long time.
But of course this is not possible. He has only been here for less than three days.
This is because Annan knew in advance that the players were coming, so he specifically asked Senior Salvatore.
At this time, no player dares to go to the forum.
They focused, looking around, trying to remember the route through the city gate and the location of the various important buildings.
Annan also understands very well. He is very aware of which buildings the players care about, so his questions are also very targeted. His introduction to the players now always hits the spot.
Players are particularly concerned about the place to buy consumables, the place to buy and repair weapons and armor, the place to receive quests and inquire about clues, and the place they use to live.
In other places, the players neither cared nor needed it urgently, so Annan didn't even ask. It's better not to introduce it for the time being, as an easter egg and waiting for players to discover it by themselves.
When Annan set the player permissions before, he also learned that the way players enter this world is completely different from himself - they are sucked in by pure consciousness, and the real body sleeps in another world.
When they go offline, the body on this side will lose consciousness and fall asleep.
It's like a soul going back and forth between two bodies.
In order to prevent people from suddenly falling down and then continuing to die in a daze after being resurrected, Annan specially set the permission to go offline only in a "safe area where you can sleep peacefully"... to be more clear. , is lying on the bed in a safe area to go offline.
The materials that players consume when making characters come from Annan. So Annan can adjust their physical pain.
Considering that they live in a peaceful world, Annan specially adjusted their pain perception to one-third by default in order to prevent them from being afraid of fighting, and turned on "Battle Intuition" to make it seem that they would not fight for the first time. too stupid.
Under the premise of completely crushing the opponent's attributes, they can't feel much pain, and they can have combat intuition like a veteran, plus their own understanding of the game... If they can't complete the initial mission.
Then Annan will disband all these wastes directly and recruit them again.
Recruiting players is not completely free for Annan. But this price is very low, so low that he has no scruples for the time being.
In his system background interface, every time a player is summoned or resurrected, there will be a "consumed material" value that floats up. Summoning players consumes more materials, while resurrection uses very little materials - after all, players are not really dead in a sense.
When they die, their bodies turn to black ashes, collapse and disintegrate. Then drift off to another safe place to regroup.
But the problem is that this "consumed material" seems to have no upper limit.
Because in Annan's system background page, there is no "remaining material" attribute at all.
It seems to be the same as unlimited credit.
Just like the cat version of Mario, after the life is reduced to a negative number, it can continue to decrease...
When the players were just summoned, the "consumed material" rose to 40. But after the players entered this world, the bright red value kept beating, falling one by one, and fell back to 0 again in a few seconds.
And every time the player dies, it keeps jumping to 1 and then back to 0 immediately.
This is also the reason why Annan decided to add a resurrection restriction to the player.
Although I don't understand what the mechanism of this thing is, and I don't know what materials it consumes, but in short, let's save it first...
The price of resurrection is indeed very low for Annan, and the death of ten people at the same time does not rise to an integer. But if there are more players in the future, and everyone will not cherish their own lives... Maybe at that time, Annan will start to have an unbalanced balance of payments.
Considering the future, Annan immediately decided to let players develop the habit of cherishing life from the very beginning.
This plan is strong but very cautious:
Now that you are dead, I may lose...
Then I just need to make you die even worse, so you don't make me lose.
Annan's logic is very clear and practical.
After all, resurrection is a very convenient permission. If players are afraid of death, it will be like a broken sword with no threat at all.
The arrogance, persistence, and fearlessness of players are all based on the premise that they can be resurrected after death. So Annan just put a shackle on them to make them care more about life and not die at will without any scruples, but he did not prohibit this "file reading mechanism".
That's enough.
The adaptability of players is very high. In different games, they will have different levels of concentration and adopt different survival/combat strategies.
It really doesn't work... just use the first task to filter.
Annan thought and added a rule:
In the future, all players who cannot complete the initial mission will be judged as unable to survive in this world and will be directly kicked out of the game.
After all, the number of players he can recruit today is limited. Although the players have a considerable degree of growth, it is clear that Annan understands the relationship between them very well:
It was they who begged Annan to let them in, not Annan who begged them to play.
Can any other plan be done? !
"...This is the temple of 'Silver Sir', the god of trade. If you have wounds, you can come here for treatment, but remember to bring money. In front of silver coins, everyone is equal."
Annan introduced the players to the last building that needs to be concerned, and then heaved a sigh of relief and said casually: "Next is your residence..."
"In front of silver coins, everyone is equal - this is a good saying, I wrote it down."
A gentle voice suddenly sounded from Annan's side.
It's Reverend Lewis.
Does this guy walk silently...
Annan quickly reacted, nodded towards the overly tall young priest, and greeted respectfully: "Silver Jue is above... I wish you well, priest Louis. I didn't expect you to get up quite early."
Seeing that Annan treated him so well, Louis was also a little surprised.
After all, generally speaking, the church and the lord are in a relationship of competition and mutual restraint. Even Salvatore, the temporary mayor, lived with Louis in the east and west of the city in order to avoid trouble.
Annan naturally knows this... His books these days are not for nothing.
In Noah's shareholding, lords are divided by the king, while parishes are determined by the church.
Both parties need to collect taxes from the people, and the orders are authoritative; neither party can interfere with the other party's policies; both parties also have the power to supervise and report the other party... This makes the nobles of the royal capital and the church of the Silver Lord in many regions almost to be the enemy.
The priests have the ability to heal the people, and they will help with the work when they receive money. And Yinjue is the one who most advocates "smile business" among all the righteous gods. Their priests can also rank the top three in their attitude towards commoners among all the righteous gods, and can even compete for the first place.
From the perspective of the people at the bottom, the church will undoubtedly be much closer to them. The businessmen are also closer to the Silver Lord Church, because the existence of the Church will magnify the power of the wealth in their hands.
In a few territories, the lords were almost completely overridden by the church... Their orders could not even be passed down, and some places were so embarrassing that they could not even collect taxes. Therefore, many lords confronted the church as their primary enemy.
But Reverend Louis also quickly realized Annan's kindness, so he responded mildly: "Silver Lord, I also wish you good health, Lord.
"I sensed that someone was fighting, so I managed to get up. Now it seems that the battle is over."
"yes."
Annan nodded with a serious expression: "Fortunately, my guards came back just in time...otherwise we would be in trouble."
"They are really good guards."
Louis glanced at it, and replied with half admiration and half flattery.
He looked at Annan's face and guessed softly: "Or... the one from Rosberg?"
"Ok."
Annan nodded.
Louis frowned slightly and glanced at the guards: "He's really going too far this time... I won't mention this for now. I'll go to you when it's dawn, and then you'll talk about it in detail. I saw the lord among your guards. , a few of them are seriously injured. Do you need me to treat them?"
He looked at Annan and smiled slightly: "For your sake, you can get a 10% discount."
Annan also smiled when he heard the words.
In fact, it was not Annan who gave kindness to the church, but that he had respect for Reverend Lewis himself.
He learned from Senior Salvatore that Reverend Luis would come to such a remote town just to purify the curse here - this is undoubtedly a very dangerous job.
On the basis of completing this job, he also worked hard to revitalize the economy of the frozen water port and make people's lives better...
Contrary to what the townspeople understood, this was not something that Reverend Lewis had to do. Whether it is to treat the townspeople or maintain the economic system here, it is the "priest" to do.
And he is an agent. He originally only needed to purify the nightmare.
Even if he doesn't care about anything, as long as he is optimistic about the nightmare here and does not let it spread, he will not be reprimanded by the main church, and he will even be rewarded.
He will be distracted to do such "superfluous things", no doubt because of his own character and moral cultivation.
He didn't even explain it to the townspeople. Instead, he naturally accepted these jobs that did not belong to him...
Just for this virtue, it was enough for Annan to say hello to him.
It is always a good thing to have a good man with good character as a colleague.
And the most convenient thing is that it is also convenient to instruct...
"I have something to trouble you... Of course, I will pay. From Salvatore's side first."
Annan said with a smile, "I'll put the rest of my followers here tonight as well. My guards have just come to Frozen Water Harbor and have nowhere to live. I have to rely on you to help arrange..."
"...It seems that I don't have to sleep tonight."
Reverend Lewis sighed, nodded with a chuckle, and told the players: "Then come with me. You will spend the night with me first, and I will definitely find you a place to live before dinner tomorrow."
After finally losing this big burden, Annan breathed a sigh of relief.
It was past two in the morning. The players are full of energy, but he is already a little sleepy...
But at this time, Salvatore should have finished analyzing the black fire, right?
Annan sighed silently and rushed to Salvatore's house.
He may not be able to sleep today...
