Chapter 7 Limited Time Mission
Hearing Shenhong's words, Jian Shiyuan remembered that when he first established the Novice Village, he gave priority to open and flat areas.
According to the experience of survival in the wild, only upwind direction, proximity to water source, high terrain and sunlight are considered.
He ignored the difference between the Ice State and the wilderness plains; the ley lines under the ice and snow were not as "safe" as he saw.
After building his foundation, Jian Shiyuan became more proficient in controlling his spiritual power.
On this ice field, you can walk fast without getting your shoes wet. When you pass through the vast snow field and look back, it is like a breeze blowing by, leaving no trace.
The increase in strength allowed him to ignore the most common problem on the ice field - ice cracks.
He only thought of this when Crimson mentioned the ice crack zone.
Building a sect on the ice field not only requires avoiding unstable geology, but also choosing an area that is sheltered from wind and warm as much as possible.
Obviously, players were better at construction than he was. He turned his attention to the expert in this field, Shui Jing Zhu.
Shui Jing Zhu, who was named by Shen Hong, was stunned. Seeing Jian Shiyuan looking at her, she exhaled, put her right hand on her left shoulder, and bowed.
"Master, this area is indeed not suitable for building a sect."
[The leader personally selected the location, but she directly named it, which is inappropriate. SOS, we agreed to be more tactful in the future. Why can't she control her mouth?]
"This area may seem open, but it's actually in an ice avalanche zone. The tectonic plates in the ice rift valley ahead collide, making compression and folding more likely to occur. The surrounding active tectonic zones are also susceptible to uplift."
[It is prone to earthquakes, and buildings are easily damaged by geological activities. If you don't want to renovate your sect every year, it is best not to choose this place.]
"The sect's buildings need to cover the most basic production and living needs and must be expandable. Considering the subsequent prosperity settings, there are not many areas that can be developed here, and it may not be able to meet future needs."
[The area that can be developed here is not large. When the population increases, there may be no place to expand.]
"For specific details, I will use signal inversion to simulate the movement of ice avalanches, detailing the depth, shape, and hazard at different locations at different times. If you want to refer to the Hang Seng Index of the provenance area, I can provide a corresponding prediction."
"It's better not to. It's too much trouble. Based on previous experience, even if she handed in a detailed report, it wouldn't change the other party's stubbornness."
After finishing Shui Jing Zhu, he let out a long breath.
She tried to control her voice and speak in a gentle tone, and the smile on her face never faded.
Shui Jing Zhu knew clearly that Jian Shiyuan was not equal to her in this game. She was a disciple and was controlled by the sect leader.
Few people could accept such a blunt denial in a three-dimensional equivalent capacity.
More than once, she was criticized by the client for being "too straightforward and not good at speaking"
There was a contact person with a good reputation. After she refuted the feasibility of the plan, he did not give her a cold face, but Shui Jingzhu could feel the other party's disdain from his words.
She is not good at speaking, but is sensitive and self-respecting.
As long as Jian Shiyuan showed any dissatisfaction, she would step back.
Even though she knew that Jian Shiyuan might be unhappy after being refuted by her, which was human nature, she still had expectations, hoping that this beautiful NPC would not let her down.
Jian Shiyuan did not disappoint her.
He looked thoughtful at first, then laughed.
Shui Jing Zhu noticed that his moist, bright red lips were slightly open, revealing a bit of pearly teeth, and the corners of his eyes were filled with moisture, so bright that it was dazzling in the sunlight.
I just heard him say: "No need to go through so much trouble, I understand what you mean.
Can we try to raise the sect to the junction of the two ice peaks, taking advantage of the relatively stable terrain of the mountain to reduce the damage caused by plate movement?"
Shui Jing Zhu was stunned. She had never seen such a person before.
Jian Shiyuan really didn't care at all. He listened to her explanation carefully and followed her thoughts to consider another possibility.
He didn't put on airs, but was clearly holding his breath while pretending to be an elder, and was sarcastic and cryptic in the subsequent communication.
He didn't just get angry and force her to change her words and apologize.
Nor did he ignore her words, treat her as air, or treat her coldly.
He just respects, listens, thinks, and communicates on an equal footing.
Shui Jing Zhu clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, and his voice became louder. "I'm not sure. I need to conduct an on-site survey. If the mountain structure is stable, we can indeed build a sect on the mountain as you said."
She smiled sincerely, her brows softening as she spoke, "I will carefully consider all circumstances and will definitely not let you down."
Jian Shiyuan nodded encouragingly, "Combine work and rest, and take it slow."
[NPC Jian Shiyuan's favorability towards you increased by 1, now at 2 points, making you one step closer to becoming the Sect Master's direct disciple]
Only Shui Jingzhu received this favorability prompt. Without waiting for her to say anything, Jian Shiyuan turned her gaze to Shenhong, who was the first to propose the expedition mission.
"I agree to your mission request. The ice field is fraught with danger, so please be careful during your exploration."
[Mission: Explore the Icefield (limited to five days)]
[Mission Description: To better determine the location of the sect, Jian Shiyuan is offering a limited-time exploration mission. Players can accept the mission and form a team to explore the ice field. Be careful, there may be cracks under the soft snow, and falling into them can cause injury, so please prepare the appropriate tools and avoid exploring blindly.]
[Task Rewards: Ranked settlement is adopted. Players in the top 10 (excluding 10) in terms of personal exploration can obtain 100 contribution points, players with exploration points 10-50 can obtain 80 contribution points (including 50), and players from 50th to the bottom (excluding 50) can obtain 50 contribution points. If a player explores passively (10 points less than the top-ranked player), their ranking will be cancelled and they will not be included in the leaderboard. Team exploration does not participate in individual rankings, but the average of individual exploration will be taken into account. That is, the team exploration degree cannot be lower than the average of individual exploration degree and the number of team members. If it is lower, the team exploration mission fails and obtains 0 contribution points; if it is higher than or equal to the average, the exploration is successful, and the team obtains a total of 500 contribution points. The contribution points of the team members must be reasonably distributed by the team leader.]
[Detailed explanation: The level of personal exploration is linked to the amount of exploration information, and is not limited to recording geographical features. Vegetation, animals, rocks (minerals), soil, water quality, etc. are all included in the recording requirements. Please carefully choose the reasonable direction and record comprehensively. Personal exploration ranking division rules (If 50 players participate in personal exploration, the top 4 players can get 100 contribution points, the players ranked 5th to 25th can get 80 contribution points, and the players ranked 26th to the last can get 50 contribution points). (If 39 players participate in personal exploration, the top 3 players can get 100 contribution points, the players ranked 4th to 19th can get 80 contribution points, and the players ranked 20th to the last can get 50 contribution points)]
[Special: This quest is released through player participation. Currently, except for NPC Jian Shiyuan, the player (Crimson) has the right to release the quest.]
Seeing the ID that appeared at the end of the task, Crimson was ecstatic.
Before he could say anything, a receiving box popped up in front of him.
[Gift from NPC: Congratulations on receiving 40,000 contribution points from Jian Shiyuan]
Shenhong was so excited and restless that she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her body and fly into the sky.
Is the reward so rich?
I can be rewarded with 40,000 contribution points just for leading a team?
This is too generous! Is this what it feels like to get rich suddenly?
Let me think about how to use this contribution value, hehe.
Shenhong wished she could run naked in the snow for a few laps right now.
He cried with joy, and looked like a madman. He knelt before Jian Shiyuan and raised his hands high.
"Master, I will definitely live up to your expectations and lead the team well! I swear to make our adventure team bigger and stronger!"
Jian Shiyuan looked down at him, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt that the Sect Master had holy light on his head and looked like her own father.
His mind was in a mess, thinking that if Jian Shiyuan needed a son, he could immediately change his ID to call him dad.
Jian Shiyuan felt that he might have misunderstood something and needed to remind him.
"What you've been given is all the contribution points for the five-day limited-time mission. Use it well. The remaining balance after completing the mission will be your reward."
"You have the authority to issue this mission. After other disciples submit their missions to you, you must promptly review the results, check receipts, rank them, and distribute rewards. The task is arduous, and I appreciate your hard work."
Crimson still kept her arms raised, but the smile on her face froze.
He heard something breaking.
No way? No way? Master, are you planning to be a hands-off boss?
Do I check and accept the work? Do I give them rewards? Do I get the remaining contribution points?
Damn, I failed math several times in high school. What should I do?
Is it too late to quit now?
I was wrong, I love working! The working soul of a working person! Let me follow the confidence interval to do daily tasks!
No matter how ugly Shenhong's face was, as soon as Jian Shiyuan finished speaking, players rushed to Shenhong, clamoring to sign up.
Crimson was overwhelmed by the constant ringing of "Hey", "Look at me", and "Sign up".
His face was furious, and he clapped his hands frantically. "Line up! Who will be teaming up with whom, and who will be working alone? Line up! Individual explorers stand on the left, and teams stand on the right."
Before the sect's specific location is determined, players have no other activities to take part in.
Except for Pritzker who went offline to work on the design, the rest of the players lined up in order.
Confidence Interval did not intend to accept this time-limited task. He discussed with Pritzker and decided to hold an online meeting at nine o'clock in the morning to first determine the design direction and then start building the sect model. This would be a tough battle.
Although my body is in a deep sleep, I can't use my brain all the time. I plan to use the rest of the game time today to enjoy the scenery and relax.
He walked over to Shen Hong and asked, "How many contribution points did the Sect Master give you?"
Crimson greeted the players and said, "40,000, how about you?"
Having the same right to issue tasks, the confidence interval should be able to gain a large amount of contribution value that does not belong to him, just like himself.
"Me, I have one more zero than you. Four hundred thousand."
"Fuck, so many?"
"After all, it's only thirty days. How many days have you only had?"
Shenhong thought bitterly, "It's not mine anyway, so what's the point of having more? It's not like I can deposit it in the bank and get interest."
Thinking of the 40,000 contribution points that did not belong to him, Shenhong sighed.
The confidence interval knows why he sighs and takes the initiative to enlighten him.
"If 100 players participate in a personal exploration every day, that's only 3.34 million contribution points in 5 days. If you manage it well, you can still get a few thousand in the end. Isn't that better than participating in a mission?"
"The patriarch has actually left enough profit for you. It all depends on your operation. You figure out which one is more beneficial to you, control the quantity to a certain fixed point, and create a simple function. I can help you figure out the most suitable arrangement in a day."
"And the mission explanation leaves enough room for you to switch the concepts of time and material quantity. The Sect Master is also offering assistance in the hope that you can motivate players. Just read the rules a few times and you'll understand."
The confidence interval was said easily, but Crimson still looked resentful.
“But I don’t understand math.”
"You don't even know inverse trigonometric functions? That's middle school or high school knowledge, right?"
"I failed math in both middle and high school."
"Just wait to die. There's no hope."
