The high degree of fidelity of the campaign mode not only makes the game more difficult and more playable, but also increases the implicit requirements for player quality.
Apart from anything else, it is absolutely difficult for players who do not have enough sense of involvement to interact with NPCs normally. For example, the players in front of them are exclaiming loudly about forums, high-level games, cute newbies, and other typical player-specific words.
When I was there, I heard other NPCs around me talking nonsense with no meaning~
Settings like this are actually not that new today when virtual immersive games are becoming more and more common, but there are still many players who still can't change it.
Either it’s an experienced player who can’t help but play in Secondary 2, or else it’s just a new player who has just started to get into virtual games and hasn’t mastered it for a while~
In short, looking at the "young" performances of these players he met unexpectedly, Liu Yifei couldn't help but think of himself in the past - after all, it was his first time to come into contact with virtual online games, and his performance was probably not as good as these people in front of him... After all,
As a newbie, he had no shame in shouting for help if he caught an expert.
"Hey~ Geralt, do you know those people? Why did I hear them calling your name?"
Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment. The whole team noticed something was wrong with him. Pix came over and patted Liu Yifei on the shoulder and asked.
In fact, Pixar is even stranger than Liu Yifei.
After all, everyone had received closed training in the Guards training camp before, and he remembered that Geralt was obviously from the Mingyue City Military Region, and he was completely incompatible with Kalliad. He could meet "a group of people" here.
It's just so weird for a regular guy with the name Geralt... he's so famous???
Liu Yifei finally came to his senses at this moment. He subconsciously wanted to say that he didn't know those people, but he stopped just before he said it - the players had identities in the battle, and one of them was hidden.
The key element is “performance”!
In any case, the character cannot be collapsed, and everything must be in order, otherwise the system cannot tell when a "surprise inspection" will come. If the test fails, God knows how much trouble will happen later~
With Liu Yifei's current "status", he will not be pulled down by a group of "country folk" in remote areas like Kaliyad, but if he doesn't handle it well, he will inevitably leave a trace in the future...
And after completely coming back to his senses, Liu Yifei's IQ came back online. Considering the current situation, he suddenly thought of an off-board method - there is no saying in the campaign that only NPCs are allowed to issue tasks to players...
"Well... there are two of them that I saw when I was traveling around doing business before joining the army. I barely recognized them... By the way, Pixar, don't we need to know the surrounding situation? If we can learn something from the locals,
If so, wouldn't it be faster than investigating it ourselves?"
"Hmm? That makes sense... But have you ever worked as a traveling merchant before? I haven't heard you say that. You should talk to me carefully when you have time. In fact, I have never been out of Standwick until now...
…”
Pixar's focus was a bit biased, but it also recognized Liu Yifei's impromptu idea.
With the support of "Captain", things will be easier to handle~
Amidst the shouting and yelling of all the players, Liu Yifei actually walked towards everyone with a large group of "knights" who looked very awesome, which made everyone extremely happy!
The other person doesn't look like he's looking for trouble. Could it be that the legendary "Geralt" is really willing to bring in new people?
And the truth is really close - Liu Yifei first asked the players if there were any strange spots in the area around Kalliad, or places where weird things happened, or if they had learned anything from other NPCs.
Dangerous places you should never go to.
In short, it is to provide as much information as possible. This kind of thing can be easily tricked out in daily interactions with NPCs. As long as players master the skills, it is actually not difficult to trick out some public information from local NPCs.
It's just that NPCs care more about their lives than players. If they know where there is danger, they will most likely avoid it. After all, no one in this world thinks they have a long life. Resurrection and other "miracles" are only known by name.
"It's not something that the people at the bottom of Kaliyad can afford.
But players are different~
NPCs' kind words to them often turn into "information prompts" and "task clues" in the ears of players... There are even many players who are obviously weak in strength, but they still dare to go to various places.
He lives deep in the mountains and old forests, and doesn't take his character's life seriously at all.
After all, he is a "player", so there seems to be nothing wrong with him.
In this way, players can easily get much more detailed information than NPCs - and getting this information is not a troublesome thing for Liu Yifei now - he really doesn't have the money, but
How difficult is it to promise a spot in the team and go out together to kill monsters, upgrade, and hunt for treasure?
As long as the news is true, even a little bit of the benefits will be enough for players to enjoy, not to mention that if pressed, he can use various basic materials to produce some "task rewards" by himself - for someone as skilled as me
For people, this is not a problem~
As expected, a "brave man" appeared under the heavy reward - a male player carrying a big pitchfork behind his back and a big wooden stick in his hand mentioned that there seemed to be a place east of Kalliad that had caused a big fuss a while ago.
He heard from other NPCs that someone saw a strange ship that did not belong to their fishing port and forcibly docked in the east, and then a group of strange guys came down...
After listening to this person's words, Liu Yifei's eyes subconsciously lit up~
Kalliad is in the ascendant, and the port berthing fees are certainly not high. The people here are eager to attract more ship dealers. How can they make things difficult for outsiders?
At this time, as long as he is a serious businessman, who would leave the new seaport alone and go out to park wild boats?
If you ask Liu Yifei, he is most likely a pirate!
Coupled with the description of "weird"... maybe he is a sorcerer pirate from Negan!
Liu Yifei clearly remembers that someone once shared the news on the forum that "there was a pirate Negan incident in the South China Sea of the Kingdom."
It's just that he entered the game late and didn't catch up with the excitement at all. Liu Yifei himself saw the Negan Warlock after the dark army surged out of the ground...
Maybe, Negan’s pirate’s “good deeds” can fall into his hands this time!?
In addition, there is also some news about monsters somewhere in the wild.
But compared to the previous major news, Liu Yifei was not very interested in ordinary beasts.
"What do you think?"
After silently listening to the players' babbling descriptions, Pixar turned around and asked the [Crusader] who had the strongest ground combat capabilities for his opinion.
It was obvious that the other party didn't mean to be polite, and directly expressed that he wanted to visit the west.
The monsters in the west are probably the snow monsters that came from the snowy areas, or they are some incompetent wild mages.
Otherwise, they are not strong enough, or it is difficult to adapt to the local climate. These "new recruits" can pack up easily, and they might even be able to take a look at the Snowy Mountains from a distance.
The other second-phase veterans expressed their opinions without waiting for Pixar's instructions... There are supporters from west to north. On the contrary, no one mentioned the east side that Liu Yifei is most interested in. It seems that everyone is not very optimistic about the east side.
"Actually... I think the chances in the east should be greater..."
Those who expressed their opinions on the scene were a few veterans from the second phase, and it seemed that they did not intend to ask the new recruits for their opinions.
Liu Yifei couldn't sit still. Although Boss Edric made it clear that he wanted the veterans to lead the new recruits for practical training, it's unreasonable for you not to treat us as a piece of cake...
It's just that Liu Yifei's words seemed a bit abrupt. Not to mention the veterans, even the recruits looked over in surprise.
The [Crusader] frowned and was about to question Liu Yifei. Pixar hurriedly stepped forward and smoothed things over: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious~ Everyone can share their ideas and brainstorm, brainstorm ideas~ Geralt, you have
Just tell me what you think...
But next time, remember to wait until the seniors have finished the discussion before talking to you, don’t forget that the military is a place where rules are enforced!”
Interrupted by Pixar, the [Crusader] boss couldn't help but look at Liu Yifei deeply, obviously having opinions about this new recruit.
If possible, Liu Yifei naturally doesn't want to offend people for no reason.
It's just that he really wants to meet the unknown enemy who may be Negan's pirates, and if the other party is really as he expected, he may also be the party with the biggest "gain"!
After all, pirate Negan always has a background of "official thieves", so he might be able to catch a sorcerer or something like that.
Even if I can't eat it by then, it's a real credit to come back and report the news to Boss Edric...
So this time Liu Yifei finally jumped out and talked to everyone: "Don't forget, if we still want to achieve results in this actual competition, we can't just pick some soft persimmons.
And there is a boat on the opposite side. If we feed them, we can at least get a boat for free, and there may be some supplies on the boat. How can this not be better than wallowing in the wild with those smelly monsters? "
"But don't forget, this information is not a secret. Since these... these civilians know it, do you think Wilkes can't find out with his ability?
With her temper, she must be aiming to be the strongest team. If there is such a good target in the east, do you think she will let it go?
Or do you still want to compete with Wilkes?"
As soon as Liu Yifei finished speaking, the [Crusader] couldn't wait to jump out and question, with disdain in his words, as if Liu Yifei didn't know the heights of the world.
"But I don't mind seeing Wilkes' archery skills either.
I have always heard that she has superb shooting skills and is powerful, but I have never really seen it... But no matter how powerful she is, I don't think it will make me unable to catch up with her, right?
How can a warrior dare not even consider a strong man as a target or opponent?"
This last provocative question was a bit direct. After hearing this, the [Crusader] suddenly changed his expression and became truly angry.
"That only shows your ignorance and stupidity. You can't even see how big the gap in strength is!
Do you think Wilkes' reputation can be questioned by a brat like you?
Why don't you ask your Pixar brother for advice and see if he is bold enough to challenge Wilkes' power and position?"
"I……"
"Okay, okay~ After all, we are all teammates, our own people, our own people, why are we so tit-for-tat? If you have the strength, save it for a while and use it against the enemy~"
Just when Liu Yifei was about to refute, Pixar jumped out to act as peacemaker, and it took a lot of dealings to calm both parties down.
However, after such a commotion, there was a faint dissatisfaction among the team. Even the other veterans looked at Liu Yifei with alienation, as if they no longer wanted to have anything to do with him.
Fortunately, Pixar came up with a good idea at the last moment - didn't Liu Yifei happen to know a group of locals?
He simply sent him to organize some civilian forces to go to the east to investigate first, and Pixar finally decided to take people to the west to destroy a wave of wild beasts first.
This is obviously a double-take.
However, Liu Yifei also agrees with this idea. At present, it is not only the veterans of the second phase who are dissatisfied with this temporary team. Liu Yifei, while insisting on his own opinions, is also worried that he will not be given the right to speak in the later stage——
This kind of thing is actually very helpless. When your strength and qualifications are not as good as those of the other party, sometimes even if you know that your decision is more correct and has greater value, what can you do if the other party refuses to listen to you?
The current situation is pretty good. Liu Yifei can foresee that in the future, similar things will happen repeatedly in the Guards... Even among the new recruits at the same time, even he may not be able to express his wishes completely and freely, let alone
Not to mention facing a group of veterans...
Pixar also has a hard time doing this~
According to the comprehensive ranking among the veterans of the second period, Pixar, known as the "genius", is much better than the [Crusader] - but the key person's main ability is horses!
Outside the fishing port, there are either rolling hills or sparse woods. Although the horses can take a few slow steps, it is a complete dream to want the horses to charge, not to mention that the boss Edric did not allow them to lead them.
The horse comes out?
To put it bluntly, the value of excellent war horses on the front line of the army may not be much worse than those of future generals and non-commissioned officers who have not yet truly stood out...
As for the strength of foot combat alone, Pixar and the [Crusader] are actually just about the same - even because of Pixar's well-known soft temper among veterans, most of the say in the team fell to the outsider.
In this way, even if Pixar is willing to protect Liu Yifei, it often cannot really resist the opinions of others and act arbitrarily - not to mention that other veterans cannot inexplicably listen to a recruit's "mission", and even he himself cannot afford to say so.
Confidence.
In this case, it is better for everyone to separate. Even if there is no big gain, at least it can ease the slightly tense situation in the team at the moment...
