My name is "Battlefield Guidance Instructor Finis Eli" - I just stand in the southwest corner of Devil's Square, doing nothing, just waiting for a group of creatures called "players" to come to the door, and then I follow what the Mother Goddess taught us.
Script, say to them: "Hey, young rebel, what can I do for you?"
I didn't have a name before. I remember my first job was as a city guard in Chenxi Town. The job I did every day was extremely simple, which was to swing a three-meter-long machete at every monster approaching the city gate and kill it with one blow.
It then receives various looks of amazement or vigilance from the players.
I will say to every player who goes out of the city: "The weather looks bad today, young rebel, have you brought your candles?"
At the beginning, there were players who talked to me enthusiastically, but the only line the Mother Goddess gave me was this one line, so... they all left disappointed.
The more times I did it, the players started to ignore me. Even if I later had a few more lines and could issue separate tasks, many players still looked down upon me.
I was indignant about this and felt slighted. Once I took the initiative to find a player and told him that I missed the taste of pine cone, and asked him if he could help me run errands to the system black shop... Ah, no, the system
The grocery store bought some for me.
Unfortunately, this player didn't wait for me to finish, and excitedly shouted about hidden missions, hidden missions, and excitedly ran to buy a bottle of high-priced pine cone, leaving my wallet empty.
Well, this is a player who is willing to help, but my mission reward is not enough to offset the value of this bottle of pine cone. I still remember the look in his eyes from extreme excitement to extreme disappointment.
It was also from that time on that I gained a little freedom, my brain could only think in a straight line, and I had a little more space to "turn around" and "relate".
Only then did I realize that this group of players is very strange.
Players, players, it seems that their lives are just a game. The biggest meaning is "playing". Watching them busy every day, coming in and out, and enjoying it makes my brain a little bigger than a pine cone.
, I can’t figure it out.
My second job is as a teleporting NPC in Dawn Town. The job I do every day is extremely simple. I just keep asking the players, "Hey, young rebel, where do you want to go on an adventure today?"
In fact, there are only two places we can go to. The first one is the kobold mine teleportation array (A12) and the night camp teleportation array (C9). My colleagues are in charge of other directions.
This job is boring, even more boring than being a city gate guard, but I have more freedom. Besides completing the mechanical work, I can observe all kinds of players and learn a lot from them.
I know about equipment, monster spawning, upgrades, and dungeons. I also know what the resistance is and what NPPC is. Just like officials, even the commander of the army, Rumsfeld, is an NPC, so I don’t think there is anything wrong with being an NPC.
Well, it seems like I was born to be a NPPC for a long, long time.
My third job is in the safe zone of the B12 Teleportation Array. This job is a bit more interesting. I am responsible for publishing some tasks and settling the rewards to players on my own. I have the right to call some background data and check the player's performance in the task.
Performance etc.
"Don't get too close to the fairy forest. Young rebels, the power of the system has not yet reached there. Be careful of the monsters that come in from outside the red zone. If you can, please help me clean up those annoying little tree monsters.
Can’t you see them growing into the safe zone soon?”
"The Sheriff Yaris Ottersdiman is looking for clues about his homeland. If you find traces of abandoned people during your adventure, don't disturb them. Come back and tell me quietly. The Sheriff will thank you. Of course, this is just
A private commission."
I never knew Yaris Ottersdiman, and I never knew when Dawn Town had a new position of Sheriff. I only obey the orders of the Mother Goddess. I am like one of His tentacles. Whatever He tells me, I
Just say whatever you want and do whatever you ask me to do, never thinking about why you do it.
Now I know how to do it, because this is what the Mother Goddess asked me to do. The Mother Goddess told me that one day I will be separated from His mother body and go to some special places to take on my own mission.
I was scared, so I became more responsible.
B12 is close to the edge of the game area and far away from Dawn Town. There are relatively few players who come here through teleportation every day to do quests and spawn monsters. As time went by, I felt very bored.
I found that players are particularly interested in hidden tasks. Once there happened to be a player who met the triggering conditions, but I particularly hated him. Maybe it was because he spit on his boots when he handed in the task last time. No,
I know, anyway, I didn't give him the hidden task, and he didn't know about it either.
But the system knows it, and the Mother Goddess knows it.
But Mother Goddess did not punish me, but gave me more freedom.
My mission system is richer and my authority is greater. I can even break away from the script and have some independent interactions with the players.
But the players didn't notice it, and I had no interest in making extraneous matters.
I have my own preferences and personality, although I don’t know what the emotion is that is always bothering me.
This job lasted until recently.
This is my fourth job. I have the name of battlefield guidance instructor Feniss Aili. I am responsible for calculating the merits of the players on the battlefield. I will say to the players: "War, war is imminent, young and fearless resistance
Army, we must be prepared and go to the city guard Arthur Underwood. He has a safer job for you, installing the defensive substrate on the city wall, but the pay for this job is not high."
"Ah, you want a higher-paying job? Of course, I have a list here. You can leave the city and go to the Devil's Farm to collect some urgently needed supplies. For each task completed, I will give you 10 points of merit, and according to the supply
The actual value will be settled to give you the same amount of money!”
"Please note that PK is not prohibited on the battlefield, and there is no PK value penalty. In addition to being careful of the endless monsters and plants, you also have to be careful of the daggers stabbing from the shadows."
"Adhering to the order of Army Commander Rumsfeld, before the war breaks out, for the purpose of training you, merit points can be dropped and snatched before settlement. Do you see this symbol? A + sign will appear.
Above your head, once you are killed by another player, a portion of your merits and props in your backpack will randomly drop."
…
This job is interesting, isn't it?
Since then, I have another hobby, which is to watch groups of players killing each other in and outside the city every day until the bronze bell on the spire of the Demonic Castle is rung.
Dang Dang Dang...
I was stunned for a moment before I realized what was happening. I immediately blew the sharp whistle and issued tasks to all players on the battlefield.
