Chapter 24 Harvest
In an underground facility somewhere, two people dressed in researcher uniforms were talking.
"Director, what are the instructions above?"
"Our main force is not here, so we are asked by the superiors to do everything we can to compete."
"The first 100 for everyone and the top 10 for the elite team. This is an order."
"Received! The mission must be completed!"
After the conversation ended, the middle-aged man in a white coat took off his glasses, rubbed the corners of his eyes that had become dark due to staying up late for a long time, and turned his attention back to a certain display screen. The NPC named Abel was promoting
screen.
"It's finally time to begin." He sighed, and his expression immediately returned to his previous mechanical indifference.
In the game world, for the first time, the town of Kyle in the elven territory restricted teleportation and entry because it could not accommodate visitors.
The personnel guarding this town have also changed from the original town guards to the high-level elf knights appointed by the royal family.
Not long ago, Lawrence, the mayor of Kyle Town, was smiling from ear to ear at one moment, and then frowning at the next.
In this conflicting mood, he welcomed the distinguished guest: the third prince of the royal family, Cypress.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, welcome to your arrival!"
"What about the human?"
"You mean Lord Abel, the representative? He is in charge of the celebration. It should still be in the 'Unicorn Moon' now. I heard that he has been busy all day without rest."
"Let's go!" Xipu ordered coldly, turned around and walked towards the door.
In the square outside the gate of Unicorn Moon, the songs of minstrels floated everywhere, merchants happily received the swarming visitors, and the hotel owner smiled bitterly in front of the hotel and refused one inquiry after another.
The once natural and beautiful Elf town is now like a big dye vat, mixed with countless players and indigenous people.
In three days, the Shield Gathering Ceremony of the Melikai Cult will be held. All the aboriginal elves participating in the celebration have made their decision several years ago and have already made all preparations.
They directly obtained the qualifications for the celebration without registering with Wang He. They should have been filled with the joyful atmosphere on the eve of the celebration.
But Wang He's extremely absurd registration was undoubtedly a tease to them, and they felt that the historical customs and inherited rules they believed in were being broken.
However, this turned out to be a joint order from the goddess Melikai and the royal family. As believers and territorial citizens, they had no choice but to obey even if they had opinions.
Not long after, Wang He suddenly stopped what he was doing at the work table in front of the "Unicorn Moon".
In front of him was a menacing guest, but he was not surprised.
"Isn't this His Highness Prince Sipreus whom we just met a while ago? What, are you planning to bring me any good news?" Wang He stood up with a smile, without saluting.
"Human, I admire you very much." Sipleus said, but his eyes became colder and colder.
"Based on the results, your goal has been achieved. I only have one purpose here, which is to monitor you." Sipleus gradually revealed a calm smile.
"The glory of God has never deceived us! Honesty is also one of the virtues. But you said hurtful words so bluntly, is that okay? Your Highness Sipleus?" Wang He squinted, "Are you questioning the goddess's godliness?
An edict?"
"Don't do what you did before I came here. I didn't express any disrespect to the goddess. What needs to be monitored is just a human named Abel, and it has nothing to do with your identity."
"How can humans understand my thoughts with their short lifespan and shallow knowledge? Abel, you are only valued by the goddess now, but soon, the goddess will completely know your dark inner heart." Sipleus said.
dull.
"Siplus, my faith does not allow others to criticize me! However, I am also not afraid of any criticism!" Wang He corrected his voice, "So please don't take up my precious time to fulfill my divine mandate. Your Highness, if you still want to
If you stay here, please help us complete the registration."
Wang He strode out and took back a pile of huge processed dead leaves from Sashan's place. This material, which is easy to preserve and write on, is a paper unique to the elves.
He handed the dead leaves to Sipleus and emphasized his tone: "As a believer, it is your duty to help complete the oracle. Or do you have other intentions?"
Sipleus - NPC, the third prince of the Elf royal family, a devout follower of Melikai, with a faith value of 630.
"Hmph, what should we do?" His Highness the Third Prince accepted Wang He's commission without much hesitation.
This scene made the knight who was the third prince's closest attendant dumbfounded.
"How is it possible? Is this still the extremely arrogant His Highness Cypress that I know?"
"God's agent is really unusual!" The rest of the guards present had this idea.
At the same time, under the signal from the leader of the Royal Knights, they all stepped forward to assist Sipleus in completing the registration of the organization.
Siples even directly asked the mayor to provide stools and chairs and prepare pen and ink.
I divided a new area myself and divided the registered players, and the cooperation between them was very harmonious and efficient.
"This is a battle-hardened team."
The guards of the Elf Knights showed such a strong sense of cooperation that no onlooker dared to look down upon them.
With the unexpected addition of the working-class prince, Wang He felt a lot more relaxed.
With the help of the royal family, his plan slowly advanced as expected.
The registration rules set by Wang He are:
Each player who participates in the registration must first pay a registration fee of 10 large silver coins. After registering the information, he will conduct a detailed belief screening.
It was said to be a screening, but in fact, all Wang He could do was a random survey. He asked Sashan and Melika to specifically target only those players who were famous in the rankings in the Western world.
Other players can simply identify other clergy members appointed by the temple, and there will probably not be much error.
Out of caution, Wang He conducted multiple detailed checks at the beginning and directly eliminated all believers from the evil camp, creating an atmosphere where only players from the non-evil camp could sign up to participate.
In terms of registration, Wang He made reasonable use of the assistance provided by the royal family and had their personnel collect payments and register.
According to the agreement, a copy of the information of all registered players will be copied and put under his name.
This information includes name, level, race, camp, skills, organization, guild, etc.
No matter what the outcome of this celebration is, Wang He will become the person who has the most information about players in the Western world besides the officials.
All this information will be combined into a brand new trump card in his hand.
According to Melikai's oracle, half of the registration fees obtained for this event will be taken by Wang He's team and half by the Elf Royal Family.
During the short two-day registration period, Wang He never closed his eyes except for the necessary hibernation to recover from fatigue.
The staff appointed by the royal family and the registration venues are expanding with the continuous arrival of players.
Even so, it still cannot meet the needs of the continuous influx of applicants.
The aborigines of the elves, especially the relevant insiders, had a slight disdain, confusion, anger, and helplessness towards Wang He's actions from the beginning, but now they have a different and subtle mentality.
The number of visitors summoned by Wang He or the goddess Melikai far exceeded their imagination.
Nearly one-third of the visitors who signed up are almost all brand-new players who have chosen to open a new account or have been lured into the trap by this promotional event, and belong to the Melikai camp!
Some elves among the aborigines began to think:
This is beyond imagination. The huge number of visitors seems to come for the celebration of the gods they believe in, to praise the traditional festivals they cherish, and for the glory of the elves themselves!
This is the glory bestowed upon the entire elven territory by the goddess Melikai, and it is also the glory from their hearts.
The holy scriptures prepared by the elves in the quiet forest for hundreds of years can attract so many people's attention and attract so many believers. This sense of recognition permeates the hearts of most indigenous people.
Abel, the ally of the goddess Melika and the representative of the goddess Edath, perfectly displayed a miracle that had never appeared before them.
Even the third prince Siples, who could not understand Wang He's previous behavior, was affected by this sympathy and ordered people from his direct troops to come to cooperate with Wang He.
The prelude to this grand celebration was opened by Wang He alone, and it was deeply rooted in the hearts of every Melikai believer.
When the sun on the third day completely disappeared from everyone's eyes, Wang He loudly announced: "The time is up! Registration is over!"
The players who were still queuing made various complaints, while the contestants who had just successfully registered showed lucky smiles.
More people had already rushed to the venue of the celebration after the registration ended: near Chenxi City, the capital of the elves.
Wang He looked at the slightly chaotic scene and said with a soothing emotion: "Here comes the goddess Melikai! Guests, don't be anxious. Since you can come here, wouldn't it be a pity not to witness this celebration?"
"Viewing of all celebrations this time will be open to everyone, and there will be no charge!"
"I will offer my most sincere blessings to every visitor from afar for their future and adventure."
…
It is late at night, and the "Unicorn Moon" has long closed its doors. The square that was originally bustling with people is now silent.
At this moment, Shashan was in the guest room counting the share of income exchanged from the bank.
"1 platinum coin, 2 platinum coins... 65 platinum coins! Oh my beloved goddess!" She suddenly shouted.
"Shashan, as an excellent follower, don't make a fuss." Wang He said in a deep voice.
However, not long after, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha, perfect!"
"Perfect! Haha... I'm sorry, I lost my composure." Sashan was still a little dazed at first, but she laughed after seeing Wang He's transformation. In the end, she seemed to take into account the girl's reserve and suppressed it.
"Poor humans, what is there to be happy about with this little money?" The unicorn was not very happy.
These days it is used as a mascot and cannot display its strength, which is really frustrating.
If Melikai hadn't been there, it would have definitely taught Wang He, a complacent human being, a lesson.
"Madam, this is our future funding, please don't despise it." Wang He shook the heavy bag in front of the unicorn, but the latter turned away without looking.
Seeing this, Wang He stopped paying attention to it. He walked to the balcony and said hello to Melikai, who was looking up at the starry sky: "Miss Melikai, how are you feeling? How are you recovering?"
"I don't feel tired at all." Melika closed her eyes and stared at Wang He with a voyeuristic gaze.
"Is that so? That's not bad." After Wang He said this, the surroundings returned to silence.
In this seemingly endless silence, Wang He checked his faith panel and smiled.
Abel - NPC, a senior believer of Melikai, with a faith value of 4999 (the accumulated faith value exceeds the upper limit of the current level, which will be reserved for replenishment after the faith level is increased. The fanatic believer's advancement conditions are not yet met and cannot be upgraded.).
"Congratulations, you seem to have grown a little taller." After saying this, Wang He turned around and returned to the room.
Chapter completed!
