Chapter 25 The fourth member of the Rose of Thorns team
Sun Ran only spent one day in the dragon world, and less than ten minutes in the real world. Including the meal and rest time, it took a total of one hour.
An hour ago, Sun Ran walked out of the Order's headquarters, and he was still a trainee Order. An hour later, he entered here again, and he was already a senior Black Iron-level Orderer with more than 500 qualifications.
Sun Ran followed Lan Xin into the Cube of Order, followed a familiar route, and returned to Thorn Rose's office again.
In the room, Ke'er and Bai Tingxuan were both there. They were silent and neither of them were in high spirits.
No one will be happy if you are busy in the virtual world, screwing up tasks, and wasting time. This is human nature.
Seeing Lan Xin come in, Ke'er pursed her lips and said nothing. Bai Tingxuan greeted her as usual: "Sister Xin, you are here."
Lan Xin nodded, then made way for Sun Ran behind him, and said with a smile: "Sun Ran is here too. He has become a Black Iron Orderer and is our official team member."
Ke'er's face immediately improved, she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "The bad news is over, and there is indeed good news waiting. I feel much better."
She winked at Sun Ran and winked: "Husband, you really did not disappoint me."
Before Sun Ran responded, Lan Xin immediately said: "Ke'er, be serious!"
The latter made a face and lowered his head to see the recent development of the failed mission.
Lan Xin turned to look at Bai Tingxuan and asked: "Xuanxuan, you are the last one to be eliminated. How is the situation inside?"
Bai Tingxuan shook her head and sighed: "It's very bad. Count Dracula has successfully regained the power of the Principality of Wallachia and became a Duke. When I came out, there were only three groups left, a total of five people were still alive, and the others were all killed.
Kicked out. I heard that Medieval Games is planning to hire a Bronze Order team to join."
Sun Ran didn't understand the situation and asked: "Xuanxuan, can you tell me more about this mission?"
Bai Tingxuan nodded and began to explain seriously.
It turns out that the virtual world they entered before was called "Dark Middle Ages". It was a fantasy world based on the European Middle Ages. It was currently at the end of the fourteenth century.
What needs to be explained is that every game company has a main world background, which is usually matured quickly after the creation of the world by accelerating the time process of the game and affecting key historical nodes. Some game companies are even more exaggerated, directly accelerating into modern society.
Yes, it only took a month.
The target of this mission is Dracula, a Romanian. There are three principalities in Romania, one of which is the Principality of Wallachia. Dracula is the second son of a duke and was made a count. He was sent to the Ottoman Empire as a hostage when he was a boy.
The capital, Istanbul, finally rose up and inherited the title of Duke.
The current situation is that there is nothing wrong with Count Dracula himself. He is just an ordinary player who pays to play games, and everything is legal.
Illegal is his destiny!
The fees he paid were not enough to make him a true noble, that is, a game VIP. The credits he paid were only enough to become a commoner.
His original fate should have been: his father was killed by rebels, the Principality of Wallachia was overthrown, and then he was exiled and became a commoner, living in abject poverty for the rest of his life.
According to Eastern civilization, this Dracula is not very rich and powerful because of his low destiny. But now, with the help of a group of saboteurs, he raised his troops to take back the principality and became a duke with real power.
He also forced the Holy See to recognize his legal status and become the true ruler of the principality. This broke through the restrictions of fate and became an actual VIP noble.
It is inferred that in the real world, Dracula is the employer of these saboteurs. He provides credits to let the saboteurs assist him in the game and help him live a rich and prosperous life in the game.
Compared with the cost of becoming a game VIP, this method is much cheaper.
Obviously, this harms the interests of the game company and must be dealt with as soon as possible. But everything Dracula did in the game was legal, and he did not leave any evidence in reality, so the game company cannot directly kick him out.
This can only be solved through games.
The mission of the Order is to kill the saboteurs who assist Dracula so that he loses the bargaining chip to gain a foothold.
After that, the Holy See, who was coerced by him, would revoke Dracula's title of duke and cancel the legitimacy of his rule. Then the Ottoman Empire would send troops to the principality to knock him back into the mortal world and return him to the correct path of destiny.
After listening, Sun Ran nodded and asked, "Who are those saboteurs?"
"They are all from the vampire guild."
Sun Ran made a gesture to indicate that he understood.
Lan Xin asked Ke'er on the side: "Is there any group that continued to enter the mission after being kicked out?"
"Not yet. Most of the Black Iron team believes that Count Dracula's saboteurs have gained momentum, and there is no point in going in anymore. Only more powerful orderers can reverse the situation." Kerr answered immediately, she had been paying attention.
Mission progress.
A mature virtual world will basically not experience a crisis of annihilation. Game management companies generally only maintain the basic order of the world and rarely directly intervene in the game world. Everything else depends on the order maintainers.
In the game, even the Order rarely gets help from game administrators, relying entirely on their own abilities. Therefore, the role of help from ordinary players, that is, the natives of the game world, becomes prominent.
Regardless of whether it is the order maintainer or the destroyer, as long as whoever gets the help of the indigenous people and dominates the situation, it will be extremely difficult to reverse the defeat when the personal strength of the two parties is not much different.
When encountering this situation, game companies usually hire more advanced order teams to use their absolute strength to sweep away the saboteurs.
Ke'er suddenly said: "Sister Xin, Sister Xuan, the situation has changed. An independent order maintainer codenamed 'Jing Ke' accepted the commission and entered the scene."
The Independent Order is a lone ranger who likes to act alone. This type of person is generally very strong. Because he does not have teammates to cooperate, he likes to follow the assassination style.
It can be seen from the code name of this Order that this Jing Ke is an assassin.
Sun Ran, who had been silent all this time, asked: "How much is the fee for this commission?"
"The starting price of the Black Iron Team is 2,000 per person. Because the opponent is more difficult, Medieval Company has increased the basic remuneration accordingly. Now it has become 5,000 per person, and the individual contribution evaluation remains the same." Lan Xin said.
With five thousand credits, Thorn Rose was familiar with the world, and the task was difficult and in line with the Black Iron level, Sun Ran was moved.
He asked the three women for their opinions: "How about we continue this mission and enter the scene together?"
"Is it possible? Because we have been eliminated once, and if we want to enter again, we must prove that our team's strength has increased significantly compared to before, and then the game company will accept the proposal to continue entrusting us." Bai Tingxuan explained.
If the strength remains unchanged, it would be a waste of time to go in again.
Sun Ran nodded confidently: "I completed the commission in the Age of Dragons and received a legend evaluation, which should meet the conditions for strength growth."
"Legendary rating!" Even though Bai Tingxuan was calm, she couldn't help but open her eyes.
Thorn Rose Team has been in existence for three years, and the highest rating it has received is only excellent, not even perfect.
Ke'er was quick. As soon as he heard Sun Ran's words, he immediately applied to Medieval Games Company. The reason for the application was, "There is a powerful fourth member of Thorn Rose, codenamed Rose Tree."
Sun Ran added: "In addition, in the virtual world of Western civilization, my alchemy attainments are not low."
Ke'er nodded, wrote Sun Ran's request in the application, then sent the application, and then just waited.
This time should not be too long, at most ten minutes, otherwise it will delay the fighter plane in the game world.
Sun Ran was very satisfied with the code name Ke'er gave him. Rose Tree, a tree of roses, is the most qualified flower protector.
Lan Xin and Ting Xuan are helpless. Among the three girls, Ke'er is the youngest and likes to be funny the most. Both of them treat her as their little sister and dote on her. Now why is she called a rose tree? It's really funny.
The game company didn't keep people waiting for long and responded within three minutes.
"The commission can be accepted, but given that 'Rose Tree' is a new member, she currently only shows excellent spell-casting ability. In the Dark Middle Ages, the power of spells is relatively small, and the role of mages is limited, so the basic commission fee will only be three thousand credits."
In a team order commission, the basic remuneration of each team member is the same, and the subsequent differences are reflected in the individual task evaluation. The higher the evaluation, the greater the additional remuneration, and the faster the seniority increases.
"It's so bullying. Our rose tree is so powerful, but they still get so much money!" Kerr was angry.
Sun Ran didn't care, because the reason given by the game company was not wrong, and he would use his ability to ask the game company to increase his remuneration. He looked at Lan Xin and said, "Why don't you accept it."
"Are you sure?" Lan Xin hesitated.
The way she was kicked out before was brutal, and her body was torn in half by the dark werewolf monster in the forest. Even now, she still has lingering fears about the Dark Middle Ages.
Sun Ran looked back, then turned to look at Ke'er and Bai Tingxuan, and said confidently: "I don't do anything I'm not sure about."
He is the master of creation on Earth, how could he not be able to deal with a few clown-like vampires? What a joke!
Lan Xin despised: "The rooster's tail is raised to the sky. See what you can do."
She understood Sun Ran's character best. He had some abilities, but he never knew how to hide his clumsiness. It was like a show-off child, which was a headache.
Sun Ran chuckled, feeling that it was not good for a woman to know him too well. From now on, as long as Lan Xin is around, he will no longer be able to pretend to be handsome and deceive an innocent girl.
"Then let's take it, shall we?" Lan Xin still agreed and asked Bai Tingxuan and Ke'er for their opinions.
