Chapter 67
The moment Xia Mo received the letter addressed to her by King Cyril himself, she saw a faint light enveloping her. As she finished reading and closed the envelope again, the light disappeared and another message popped up.
Congratulations to player "Mo Se" for his outstanding contribution to the development of the Royal City. 300 World Reputation points are awarded!
Up to now, she has accumulated 2000 world reputation points, not only ranking first, but also leaving the second place far behind by more than 1000 points.
This gap, like a chasm, has left many players stunned.
Everyone knows that world reputation is not easy to gain. You either have to risk your life to defeat a world boss like a dragon, or risk your life to complete a mission under the knife of the royal family. In short, neither is easy.
The players knew she'd previously set two continental records for dragon hunting, earning 1,000 reputation points, catapulting her to number one. But she'd unexpectedly earned another 300 points today?! Oh my god, they were envious!
Because of these announcements, the world channel was once again in an uproar of discussion. Some praised her, while others pretended to be calm and said it was nothing surprising. Some even went so far as to say that she was a beta tester and must have the script.
Xia Mo suddenly laughed.
"Protoss" has never been tested internally. Only 100 spots for the public beta were released one month before the server launch. However, at that time, because the Alman government did not promote it, many people did not know that such an epoch-making holographic online game was open for testing.
Xia Mo felt it was a waste of time to even glance at the brainwashing comments, so he continued to scroll down to see if there was any other information he needed to pay attention to.
The players were still arguing, but soon the topic shifted to next week's Enchanting Competition.
This competition had never been held in the previous life. Xia Mo understood that it was because no one had triggered Matthew's quest line so early. Now that she had set things right in advance and caught the violators, naturally, the competition was held again.
This is also the first event that players have experienced after leaving the Novice Village. Although there are occupation restrictions, it is enough to trigger everyone's enthusiastic discussion.
I'm an enchanter, and I'm planning to sign up for a competition next week. Are there any sisters who would like to accompany me? Let's be companions.
[Me, me, me! I'm also learning enchantment. Sister, are you an apprentice?]
[Emm, no, I’m already a beginner~]
[Frog Fun Junior Enchanter, ahh ...
[Okay, okay, you can private message me and I will tell you]
"Ah, I'm so envious of you enchanters. You actually have a competition just a week after entering the Royal City. We poor miners dig coal in the wild every day, almost driving ourselves crazy, and there are no event rewards."
[What's so hard about being a miner? Look at us tailors, TT. We've burned out the lights and haven't managed to sew anything that satisfies the NPCs. So hopeless!]
[Well, after comparing them, I think I made the right choice as a chef. I just check in at a certain time every day, cook two dishes, let the chef take a look, pass, and leave.]
"What? Being a chef is so easy! Some dishes are really hard to make, and I have to collect the ingredients myself. I'm almost throwing up."
When I saw the word "cook", the painful memories of the past once again emerged in my mind.
Xia Mo: ...I can’t think about it. The moment I think about it, I feel like the kitchen in my mind is going to explode.
Not seeing any useful messages, she folded the chat.
She sorted the books in her hands according to the serial numbers and put them back on the bookshelf one by one. After she finished sorting out a bookshelf one by one, the director NPC Ms. Tess walked up to her with a smile.
"The bookshelf is well organized. You can go home from get off work today."
Complete the librarian's task: Arrange a bookshelf.
[Daily Experience +100, Administrative Experience +100]
Different from the experience points gained during daily upgrades, administrative experience refers to the experience points required for formal employees to advance to official positions in the royal city. The richer the administrative experience, the easier it is to obtain official position promotion after successfully participating in the assessment.
The higher the official position, the greater the regular weekly salary received.
Taking her current level 1 as an example, as long as she completes her job duties diligently every week, she can earn 50 gold.
Don't underestimate these 50 gold coins. Many players can't get 50 gold coins by killing monsters in the wild, but she can get them by just organizing books in a quiet library.
Moreover, 50 gold is just the current salary level. When she is promoted to level 2 or 3 in the future, the salary she can receive will become higher and higher. Why not do it?
After saying goodbye to the director, Ms. Tess, and walking out of the library, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.
She had been running around outside today and had not yet returned to Huangs City to complete the city mission, so she left the city, mounted her horse, and galloped all the way north.
[Regional Map: Huangsi City]
When she went to the castle to receive the quest, the city lord, Fesali, immediately noticed the new badge and reputation points on her chest and said, "Not bad, young man. I never thought you would even get a position in the royal city. I am sincerely proud of you!"
Xia Mo smiled modestly: "Thank you, City Lord."
Although she settled in Huangsi City, it did not affect her position in the Royal City. However, if she wanted to have a position in Huangsi City, she had to quit her job in the Royal City. In short, she could not hold positions in both places at the same time.
If the player maliciously conceals the truth and works on both sides, then I'm sorry, the player will suffer.
Players who wanted to exploit loopholes did this back then.
First he worked in the royal city, then returned to his own city, took off the badge, pretended to be unemployed, and then claimed another job in his own city, starting a life of having the best of both worlds.
As the old saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
Although the player claimed that he had done everything perfectly, one day he was discovered by the administrator of the royal city.
Dual service is a serious crime. Not only will the player be imprisoned for a full seven days, but all the gold and experience points gained from both sides will be taken back. In the end, even a lot of his original experience and coins will be deducted. The end cannot be said to be very miserable, but it can only be said to be extremely, extremely miserable!
This incident caused a huge uproar, and no player dared to step into this minefield anymore. They all served in one side obediently.
I just don’t know if there is anyone else who is willing to take risks in this life. If there is, Xia Mo would like to wish him/her well in advance and light a candle for him/her.
After completing three sets of city tasks, it was already late at night. Xia Mo logged off and went to the studio next door to draw a mecha picture for Li Zewei as usual.
As soon as Li Zewei saw her, he immediately sighed with a sour tone, "Wow, congratulations, you got a stable job in the royal city."
Xia Mo's eyes fell on the drawing, and he smiled without raising his head: "Do you want it? If you want, I can make one for you."
She could introduce him to the position she had held that year.
However, when he heard about getting one for him, Li Zewei immediately waved his hands: "No, no! I'm semi-retired now, why would I do a job? It's too much trouble!"
Xia Mo continued to laugh: "Then why are you speaking in such a lychee tone?"
If she had not dealt with Li Zewei in her previous life and knew that he made a lot of money by designing and modifying mecha blueprints and repairing home entertainment mechas, she might have been fooled by this shabby repair shop.
Old man Li Zewei has plenty of money and doesn't need to find a job in the royal city to earn the 50 gold salary that he absolutely doesn't care about.
Seeing that she had seen through him, Li Zewei coughed twice and turned his wheelchair to go next door. "The mecha map isn't very urgent these days, so take it easy. Be careful not to get tired. I'm about to be questioned by the police. Don't cause me any trouble."
After a pause, he asked again, "By the way, is school starting soon?"
Xia Mo then raised his head and thought for a moment: "Yes, there are still 3 days."
The exchange of game currency for real currency will be in 2 days, which is pretty soon.
"Okay, I know a cheap grocery store somewhere. If you're free someday, tell me and I'll take you there to pick out some things for school."
She looked at Li Zewei's back as he entered the room, and her heart suddenly warmed: "Okay, thank you."
*
The next day, when Xia Mo woke up in Huangs City, the first thing he did was to complete three sets of city tasks.
After she finished the game, she discovered that more and more players seemed to have settled in Huangs City recently, and some of them had also begun to actively complete city missions.
However, they arrived late, and their resident honor points were far lower than hers. Xia Mo glanced at the scoreboard and confirmed that she would not be caught up, then she rode away with peace of mind.
On the way to the wild to kill monsters, she flipped through the world channel and suddenly realized that a new gameplay had been launched today - a sea adventure activity.
A sea adventure game that can be played alone or in a team. Solo players will participate in the individual performance ranking, while team players will be ranked according to the team. The ranking is updated once a week and the final ranking for this week will be determined before the leaderboard is changed on Thursday morning.
In addition to receiving some guaranteed experience points and gold coins, the top 20 players can also redeem their points for special materials that cannot be purchased externally. Moreover, if they can unearth long-buried secrets in the deep sea, they can receive many mysterious rewards.
However, these are only the gains that can be seen on the surface.
Xia Mo knew that one day in the future, when the players on the capital planet connected to the "Protoss" port, only those players with strong maritime strength would be able to leave the continent of Pergas, cross the ocean, and become the first players to land on the overseas continent.
This area on the sea cannot be ignored, Xia Mo immediately called people in the guild channel.
[Mo Se: @Everyone, is anyone forming a team to enter the sea area? ]
The rewards obtained in team mode are slightly higher than those obtained in individual mode, and she would rather team up with acquaintances if possible.
Only after sending the message did she realize that there were only two people online in the group, including her...
We agreed to get up early, but it seems it was all talk:) - The mumblings of Xia Mo, an early riser.
I placed my hopes on another early bird, laughing until my face was paralyzed. Who knew that the other party would reply: [Ah, this... Sorry, big boss, I got up early this morning to do a quest in the Xige Mountains, and now I can't go back for the time being... (Stormy Crying)]
Xia Mo rubbed his forehead: [It’s okay, I’ll go outside to form a team]
After saying that, he turned his horse around and headed for the Sulu Sea.
The Sulu Sea was the location of the original level 5 copy, and has now been refreshed as the starting point for sea adventure activities.
World Channel:
[Sea Adventure! 5-player team, 3 DPS]
【Nanny+, get on board and go】
[Sea adventure team, any class is welcome! Look carefully, don't come below level 15! Blind T]
…
The dense stream of news made Xia Mo feel dizzy on horseback.
Just as she was wondering how to choose, someone came to her.
[Taotao: Mo Se, are you free now? Are you coming to the sea activities?]
Xia Mo's eyes lit up: [Come if you have time!]
[Taotao: Okay, then we still need 3 people. I just randomly called them?]
Xia Mo was stunned: [Isn’t your brother coming? ]
The person on the other end was typing for a while before replying: [He has something to do, let's play first]
Xia Mo always felt that Taotao's tone was weird, so she tilted her head, thinking maybe she was overthinking it.
She squeezed her legs against the horse's belly and arrived at Sulu Beach half an hour later.
