After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 444 Promotion and the Truth
"Hey, have you heard? The Silver Blue E-sports Guild is recruiting people! I heard that as long as you complete the tasks, you will get paid, and it's paid in cash!"
In Dawn City, on a busy street, two players stood under a silver-gray constructed street lamp, chatting casually while looking at the constructed vehicles with a strong fantasy atmosphere passing by.
"Are you talking about the recent mission to promote the construction network? Hasn't it been spread all over the forum?"
Listening to his companion's words, the other player nodded.
"The top 2,000 players on the promotion rankings will each receive a guaranteed 3,000 red envelope or game supplies of equal value, and the top 100 will receive additional red envelopes. The number of participants who have signed up is now close to 100,000!"
"Tsk tsk, what a generous investment! This wave of rewards must have cost at least nearly 10 million. I wonder what these rich people are after."
"Anyway, he's just stupid and has a lot of money. It's great to have money..."
After a few sour comments, the two turned and left to continue their unfinished tasks.
At the same time, it is not only these individual players who are puzzled about their purpose. The strategic analysis teams of the two major e-sports clubs, Baiguang and Stardust, are also puzzled about this matter.
What kind of mission did the people from Silver Blue receive that was worth such a huge investment?
After all, this behavior looks like working for the NPC for nothing.
The news that the war among high-level prophets is about to enter a fierce stage is still blocked in high-level circles. Except for some special NPCs, the outside world is still unclear about it.
Similarly, due to information asymmetry, the two major clubs that did not receive the news were also curious as to why Silver and Blue suddenly promoted the construction network at almost any cost.
Judging from the other party's almost regardless-of-cost investment, the task that the people from Silver Blue Esports got should be some kind of time-limited task, and at least at the level of the mainland's main storyline, otherwise it would be unworthy of the cost.
Similarly, if this task that required such a huge initial investment was really accomplished by the people from Silver and Blue, then the opponent's strength would probably rise to a new level in an instant.
For this reason, the people from the other two clubs have already used extraordinary means, including internal help, in order to find a way to obstruct the other side, and intend to investigate the true cause and effect of this matter.
But this time, the Silver and Blue Club did an unexpectedly good job of keeping secrets.
Although the insiders on both sides obtained some valuable information, the information obtained by many people was different or even conflicting.
In desperation, both parties had to try to find the answer in the game, using all the current NPC character relationships in the game to try to find out relevant information.
This also includes trying to contact the last dragonborn of Avis.
Previously, due to the attack of the Door in the Eye, the crystal ball in the elf's hand temporarily lost contact with Avis.
After completing the job transfer task with great difficulty and breaking through to level 40, he also took the opportunity to try to find Avis and try to trigger the next task.
However, he was stopped outside the door by the guards of the Olivendi family, who said that Anvis was in danger and could not meet guests.
In desperation, considering that the core of the current version is concentrated in the Itel Federation and there are more tasks and opportunities, the elves also came here to develop and have now reached level 43.
At this time, due to the request of the kitten Tiramisu, the last dragonborn once again tried to contact Avis with a try-it attitude.
To his surprise, the magic crystal ball flashed and the call was successfully connected!
However, unlike usual, the figure opposite was wearing a pitch-black cloak, and his face was not clearly visible. In addition, the background environment was also very dim, and it seemed that he was in some special state.
"……Who are you?"
At the same time, Avis was sitting in the study at the Embers headquarters, looking at the Last Dragonborn whose head was in a fish tank filled with goldfish across from the crystal ball, feeling a little speechless.
He always thought that the planner who designed this fashion was out of his mind and wanted to drag the players' brains into it as well.
"Respected An... Your Excellency, I am your most loyal follower, Rivers! During these days when I had to leave you, I miss your glorious deeds and majestic figure all the time! Even in my dreams..."
After being stunned for a moment, the elf suspected that the other party was in some special situation where he needed to hide his identity. He changed his words at the last moment, skipping the other party's address and just calling him "Sir", while flattering him a lot.
At the same time, he quickly cancelled the fashion NPC display effect and revealed his own face.
"…Okay, Rivers, shut up."
Hearing this, the corner of his eye twitched, and Avis raised his right hand slightly, signaling the elf that it was time to stop.
"Tell me, why did you contact me?"
"Your Excellency, the truth is, I would like to ask you about the construction network that has suddenly begun to spread rapidly recently. Is there any special change behind it..."
After getting Avis's approval, the elf quickly explained the purpose of his visit as concisely and clearly as possible.
"The recent explosive spread of the construct network? It's all caused by you foreigners."
Avis immediately understood the elf's intention. He glanced at him sideways and pretended to be ignorant.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"No... What I mean is that they shouldn't suddenly send a large number of people for no reason and promote it quickly regardless of the cost.
Obviously, as long as the promotion is carried out normally, the effect will be the same, it will just take a little more time, and the cost can be reduced to one tenth of the current level, or even lower. "
With an awkward expression, the elf raised his hand to touch his nose, but only touched the glass of the fish tank.
"That's a good question. The fact that you can see this shows that your perspective is higher than most people's."
Nodding, Avis did not continue to pretend to be confused, but directly gave the answer he needed.
"The answer to this question involves the nature of the Federation's war. The Federation's war is essentially a war between high-level prophets for the only chance to break through.
The Construct Network, the Glorious Alliance, and the Resistance Organization are the three main forces currently supported by the Prophet. "
"Behind the construction network stands the high-level prophet from the Federation Parliament. Their goal is to spread the network as much as possible, before the other parties do, so that it can affect the fate of more Federation residents.
But now, the rebels have captured nearly 30% of the territory, and the Patikaran Agreement is about to expire. Once the agreement expires, the federation countries will lose their last insurance.
At that time, it would not be like now, where only some small and medium-sized kingdoms are fighting each other, but a full-scale war that will truly affect most of the kingdoms in the entire federation."
“By then, the prophet behind the resistance army that caused all this to happen will receive a large amount of fate feedback and will be one step closer to a breakthrough.
On the contrary, for those who are building the network, the speed of network popularization may be seriously slowed down or even regressed due to the war.
So, what they lack most now is actually time.”
Looking at the Last Dragonborn who was unable to process the overwhelming amount of information he received, Avis suddenly changed the subject.
"But the answer to this question, Rivers, is not without cost.
Now, I have a task for you to do. "
He had some arrangements for the current situation, which required the use of the power of these player groups.
Something unexpected happened during the day, so I can only update at night. (End of this chapter)
