The blond human player with the game ID of [White Light Competition - Nyarlathotep] spoke first and asked the elf in a blue robe in front of him and a long staff on his back.
Hearing his words, several players around him also stopped their movements and looked at the elf in unison.
"Of course, I am 80% sure that with the pace of the Blood Lion Mercenary Group, the team escorting the secret supplies will arrive here as soon as tonight."
Looking around, the last dragonborn nodded confidently.
Most of these people are professional players in the White Light Club. Before the last Dragonborn resigned, he served as their colleague and captain for a period of time.
After he terminated his contract with the club, the captaincy fell to the human mage player in front of him, [Nyarlathotep].
Compared with elves, human talents are also suitable for spellcasters.
Although they do not have the extraordinary bloodline of the elves, humans have the innate skill of "quick learning".
This ability can increase the speed of learning new skills and increase the speed of all skill proficiency by 1.15 times.
Perhaps the spellcasting strength bonus alone is not as good as the Elf talent, but the advantage is that the effect is more comprehensive.
Unlike ordinary players, because they use the precious internal beta quota provided by the club, all game content for professional players is a task list that has been arranged in advance.
For example, test certain game mechanics, explore the map in a large area, collect background information and high-level NPC information of each major camp, confirm in advance which maps are suitable for leveling, and where rare equipment and tasks may be hidden, etc.
Rather than saying it is a game, it is better to say that they are working.
Now, the reason why they can spare their precious working time to help the last dragonborn with tasks is because his tasks may unlock high-level camp reputation in advance.
The club has judged that the value of helping the elves with this task is higher than their current task arrangements.
As for the Last Dragonborn who provided the mission information, since the club specially sent professional players to help him complete the mission, the main mission reward was also his, so there was no additional reward for him.
Previously, after a series of careful investigations, the Last Dragonborn gradually discovered that the water behind this mission he accidentally received while rushing was actually very deep.
Not to mention anything else, when he was investigating the whereabouts of the missing mercenaries, he was keenly aware that something was not right in the atmosphere several times, and tried every means to cover it up.
As he investigated, the completion rate of the 'Tracing' mission quickly rose to 100%. After the rewards were settled, a new system prompt popped up again.
[System prompt: The ‘Tracing’ mission is completed, you have gained 250,000 experience points! 】
[You trigger the B-level mission ‘Suspicious Cloud’]
[Mission introduction: The mysterious disappearance of the mercenary group escorting supplies revealed more obscure information. What is the truth hidden behind the thick fog?
Note: Depending on the player’s choices in this mission, the plot development will change accordingly, so please choose carefully.]
[Mission goal: Find the whereabouts of the ‘Epee’ mercenary group.]
[Task reward: 1,000,000 experience points]
[Completion: 0%]
On the night when the 'Tracing' mission ended, the elf found an unnamed warning letter on the table in his hotel room. He was informed to stop all investigations immediately, otherwise he would bear the consequences!
This moment attracted the interest of the last dragonborn. Originally, he was not too concerned about this task, but after receiving this warning letter, the importance of this task was immediately raised to the highest level in his mind.
He noticed an interesting detail. The warning letter's paper was very smooth, and it was not ordinary animal skin paper, but made of a special plant.
Out of professional habit, the Last Dragonborn had dedicated a portion of his time in the game over the past few months to study the background information of this world, which gave him a certain understanding of the behavior patterns of NPCs.
Bandits who were born as civilians and some ordinary mercenary groups would definitely not be able to obtain such high-end gadgets.
Even if you occasionally get a few pieces of paper, it is impossible to write letters exclusively on this expensive paper.
Moreover, these roughnecks do not have the habit of using warning letters - if this job is left to them, he will be blocked in a certain road by one or several masked men on a dark and windy night.
In a dark alley.
Then, everyone knows...it's nothing more than blasting a monster or being blasted by a monster.
To sum up, there are only two possible identities of the sender - the noble class, and the regular army of the empire.
Only these guys who rely on their status and want to show that they are different from civilians will use this relatively 'formal' method of threat.
While explaining the specific mission information to the professional players, the Last Dragonborn himself was also thinking.
Why do ordinary mercenaries need to be used to escort the secret supplies of the White Rose Legion?
If it is to deceive others, then who are they guarding against? Who do they need to guard against?
After receiving the threatening letter, the elf changed his approach. He no longer blatantly investigated the whereabouts of the missing mercenaries. Instead, he transformed into a foreign rogue mercenary and secretly investigated the local black market and mercenary union.
After planning to increase the favorability of several NPCs, I based on some rumors heard in the black market and fragments of information revealed in some side tasks.
The last dragonborn deduced that a new batch of "secret materials" was about to arrive at Manchenko.
Eighty percent of the missing mercenaries are related to these 'secret materials'.
In this case, as long as this batch of materials is intercepted, a larger mission will definitely be triggered!
For example, the opening mission of a high-level camp that is strong enough to be defended by the White Rose Legion——
So, the Last Dragonborn, who felt that he was still unstable on his own, simply called a few friends from the original club.
Based on the information in hand, the Last Dragonborn is confident enough that the White Light Club will cooperate with his actions.
The mission information that may open up the high-level camp is extremely valuable, enough for the club to agree to support him with some manpower.
Moreover, if they are escorting some very rare materials, the club will also accept it. Maybe they will adjust their strategy and develop this place into a resource point after the official launch of the server.
As the person who discovered this place, he will also have a share of the resources here in the future.
Due to the 100 times experience gained during the closed beta, the average level of the players at this time has risen to level 57 or 8.
They are all the most cutting-edge professional players. Even if they face a group of monsters around level 60, they still have the power to fight.
As long as we can get key mission information, even if we die once during the deletion and closed beta, what does it matter?
