Chapter 521 Everything is voluntary
"Hey, Avis, are you still working with those Strangers? How are the results?"
Harvey didn't know what Avis was thinking. The main reason he came to Avis this time was because he was curious about the results of Avis' previous pilot program for foreigners.
Recently, the news that Anvis had carved out a separate province's territory and gave it full authority to foreigners to build it had spread.
While many foreign scholars have not yet figured out how to stop foreigners from betraying their own people, Avis has already come up with a new trick.
“Those strangers…”
Speaking of this, Avis showed a somewhat strange look.
How should I put it? It's quite generous. Recently, more and more people are spending money to open the advanced hang-up mode.
Especially when he showed up in person and generously rewarded dozens of players who had made the highest contributions to the construction with orange legendary equipment, arcane golem design drawings, master-quality Moonlight Spring potions and other treasures, the enthusiasm of many players rose to an unprecedented high.
Gradually, simply hanging up the machine can no longer satisfy some hard-working players. Some people even buy secondary energy potions every day and take them to recover when their energy is over-depleted.
Of course, this is not just about getting on the list and getting rewards, but also about the experience points that players gain when performing various construction and production tasks, which is directly linked to their diligence.
For those who work hard to level up, this simply means changing the experience gained by killing monsters while idle to the experience gained by working while idle, and taking drugs is a very normal thing.
However, although the players' purpose is clear, from Avis's perspective, this behavior is still quite difficult to describe.
Not only do you have to work during the day, you're still working even when you fall asleep at night!
Moreover, not only does this job not make money, but it even costs money to work! And what is lost is not just the money of this world, but also the money of Blue Star!
The working hours were 12.5 times longer! Most importantly, all of this was done voluntarily by the players, and some even (clubs and guilds) paid them to work here.
Any true capitalist would cry after reading this.
"In fact, their work attitude is pretty good, they are quite diligent..."
After thinking for a moment, Anvis spoke calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.
"...Please, Avis, there's no need to hold on any longer. I understand—"
However, Harvey seemed to have misunderstood what Anvis meant.
In front of Avis's somewhat confused gaze, Harvey spoke in a mysterious tone.
“In fact, when I learned that you arranged for those foreigners to work in the wild and build cities, I also tried to let them get involved in production work.
But you also know that I don't have any territory to rule, so I just set up an alchemy workshop and ordered those foreigners under my command to work there as apprentices."
"You let those foreigners become...alchemy apprentices?"
Hearing Harvey's words, Avis looked at him strangely.
Alchemy apprentices are not like assembly factory workers, and ordinary trusteeship models are simply not competent for them. Because they are facing living natives, not the cold assembly lines of assembly factories.
Unlike the stability of the assembly line, many unexpected situations often occur when helping out with real people.
The reactions of players in normal hosting mode to these unexpected situations are just like those of tree people cursed by slowness, so slow that it is unbearable.
There is a characteristic of the tasks in the Mysterious Era. In the evaluation criteria of task completion, the subjective judgment of the indigenous people also accounts for a large part of the score.
However, low task completion rate will result in very little experience.
The alchemists were naturally annoyed with these "stupid strangers", and as a result, the players woke up and saw that the experience gained by idling was only the amount of two or three cats! In this case, why don't they go find cats directly? An entire night of idling would be enough for them to find at least five or six cats, and maybe they could also trigger some other random adventure tasks along the way.
As a result, the players who felt cheated left one after another, and before running away, they divided up the raw materials and finished products in the alchemy workshop to offset their "wages".
"...My alchemists told me that the new foreigners seemed to be possessed by evil spirits. They did not act like normal people at all. Instead, they acted like skeleton laborers wearing human skins.
Then, after working for a few days, they all ran away and emptied the warehouse of the alchemy workshop, causing me a loss of more than 10,000 gold coins."
After briefly recounting what had happened, Harvey shrugged his shoulders and sneered at the behavior of these strangers.
“So, Anvis, I advise you to be careful, these foreigners cannot be trusted.
Even if they don't show any abnormality now, but in the words of those foreigners, maybe they are preparing to 'give you a big one'!"
"Thanks for your advice, Harvey."
Avis nodded, "Also, tonight is the physical examination time, remember to bring your girlfriend to my laboratory in the royal capital."
"……I see."
When Harvey mentioned this, his expression suddenly turned bitter.
Although Avis' tests would not cause any harm to them, some of the experimental projects always made him feel uneasy.
Especially when Avis studied the changes in the frequency of dream fluctuations and what impact they would have on his consciousness.
"By the way, I recently received an interesting piece of news. Many people, including His Highness Lan Nuo, seem to be trying to use foreigners to form an intelligence agency in private."
Before leaving, Harvey glanced around and seemed to leave a message for Avis unintentionally.
"Foreigner intelligence agency? I see."
Avis also nodded slightly, and then watched Harvey leave.
There is never a shortage of smart people in this world, and letting players take charge of intelligence agencies is indeed the most appropriate method of appointment at present.
It can not only bring out the players' greatest strengths, but also avoid the impact of their chaotic attributes.
The reason why Anvis dared to use the stranger was not only because he was a senior player in his previous life, but also because he could see the panels of other players.
As for other normal indigenous professionals who do not have these special abilities, simply imitating his behavior of employing players superficially is no different from courting death.
"...Even Harvey knows about Lano's secret establishment of a foreign intelligence organization?"
Whispering to himself, Avis instantly recalled Lan Nuo's rise in his previous life.
In the previous life, players played a significant role in Lanno's rise.
Unlike other princes, Lan Nuo did not put on airs towards the players, or rather, he did not show any airs.
In addition to his delicate and beautiful appearance, polite and intelligent personality, Lan Nuo is very popular among players. The three major domestic clubs and even some famous foreign clubs have basically cooperated with him privately.
The negative example is his royal brother, the seventh prince Wheeler. This prince, who has the same name as a ninth-level prince from the Alfred family, is a well-known conservative and is quite arrogant towards foreigners and civilian professionals.
This won him the support of the conservative forces in the royal family, but also caused him to lose the support of the reformists and players.
In the subsequent battle for the throne, most of the forces under this prince were trapped by the players and had to leave the stage with hatred.
"Given his character, if Harvey's intelligence ability could have obtained this information, it could only be that he took the initiative to instigate the secret leak of the information in order to confuse his true purpose.
So, has he already started to approach the three major clubs? "
