Chapter 42 The Psychological Counseling of the Rich Miss
Back at the Licinius Building, Asker sat back on the rocking chair, while Peggy continued to push him obediently from behind.
"How much you like this rocking chair." Eleanor complained, "Why don't you tell Nora and let's take it back to Fire Island."
"I don't like the rocking chair." Ask said, "I just want to rest."
In fact, among the entire main plot of "A Song of Iron and Fire", the most difficult one is recognized as the expansion pack of the Expedition to the Holy See.
Therefore, since he first came to this world last year, including the follow-up recruitment of team members, training, actual combat, book preparation, etc., all the plans Asker has made are all in order to successfully pass the plot battle of the expedition to the Holy See.
Now that the biggest crisis has been resolved, the team is close to the critical point of lv.10 for all members, and there is basically no need to worry too much about strength, so Asik can finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a good rest.
Over the past year, Asker has come to realize that there are considerable differences between this world and the game world of "A Song of Iron and Fire".
That's the presence or absence of the player.
Players as a whole are a very utilitarian group. Most players play games for two purposes. One is the sense of accomplishment of constantly upgrading, and the other is the pleasure of crushing enemies after upgrading.
The former determines that players must always get a sense of accomplishment from the game "I am getting stronger", which determines that players must upgrade quickly enough.
The latter means that NPCs must be upgraded slower than players, so that "npcs that I couldn't defeat originally" can be "easily crushed after upgrades", and players can get the pleasure of "I am very powerful".
Therefore, in the third expansion pack of "A Song of Iron and Fire", that is, when the level limit is at lv.15, the level of mainstream players has generally exceeded the level of the mainstream NPC transcendent in the 6th era.
After all, NPCs have to run around to collect formulas and materials, but players have brush guides, teleportation arrays, and immortal bodies for unlimited trial and error, so they almost immediately leave behind the new low-level extraordinary beings of the current generation.
However, they couldn't beat those old demigod monsters that had lived from ancient times to the present, so in a short period of time, there was even a storm of bad reviews, in game forums, forums, groups... everywhere people complained that there were no monsters to fight.
The third expansion pack of the game, "Expedition to the Holy See," is exactly what appeared in this market background, using a mechanical torrent army that combined céngrén and drones to consume the excess energy of regular level players.
After the expedition to the Holy See, the third wave of magic pushed the level limit to lv.20. At this time, players began to chase the level crazily, trying to advance to demigods as soon as possible and then pvp with each other. Therefore, during this period, the game company did not launch
What a super difficult battle to scold.
In other words, the second half of Year 242 of the Sixth Age was actually a calm six months. Players were all downloading, upgrading, and PKing, and there were no noteworthy plot events.
However, there are no players in this world, so of course Asik doesn't have to worry about PK issues. Just follow the step-by-step rules of cohesion, understand upgrades, conduct daily practical training, and care about the psychological problems of team members from time to time.
As for the next all-out war, the "Undead Catastrophe", it will have to wait until the beginning of the year 243, there are still 6 months left, so there is no rush.
Asik, who had planned everything, was falling asleep when he saw Nora coming back from outside.
"Asker." Nora greeted Asker and said, "I went to Sicily to meet my parents today."
"Have they forgiven you for running away from home?" Ask asked lazily.
"Of course... no!" Nora was almost led away from the topic by him, then came back to her senses and said, "They want to see you."
Paige:!!!
Eleanor:!!!
The two girls next to them pricked up their ears at the same time, only to hear Ask asked in confusion: "Why are you seeing me?"
"Probably, thank you for taking care of me this year, or something." Nora said with a smile.
I feel it's not that simple. Paige stared at Nora warily, trying to search for any suspicious clues in her smile.
Eleanor was confused, but she quickly suppressed her thoughts with willpower and pretended to look at the advertising images outside casually.
"What about that?" Ask asked without any doubt, "Should I go find them, or?"
"They will return to their villa in Tiegang Town tomorrow, and they will pass by Solomon City. You and I can just go and meet them," Nora replied.
"Nora, can I go too?" Paige asked eagerly.
"Of course." Nora completely understood the thoughts of the vampire girl, but she didn't mind it. "When the time comes, I will introduce all the companions in our team to my parents. ◇ Ling Ling Reading

Peggy's face softened, and Eleanor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way." Nora said seriously again, "I still have something I want to discuss with you in private."
Peggy and Eleanor:!!!
Talking about private matters? What private matters? Is it something shameful? Why do we have to talk in private? Are you hiding from me how far this has progressed?
"It's about upgrading," Ask said with a smile, "Medea gave me your last bottle of potion."
Oh, it turned out to be an upgrade. The two girls relaxed again.
"No." Nora shook her head.
The two girls became nervous again.
"It's about the Holy See." Nora frowned and said.
"I'm going back to Fire Island first. You guys can chat slowly." Eleanor stood up, looking a little tired.
It's no longer possible. If she stays here any longer, she will suffer from a heart attack.
"I want to stay here." Peggy said stubbornly.
"Okay." Nora smiled gently, not caring at all about the mild hostility shown by Paige.
"That's right." She looked at Ask, who was lying on the rocking chair, and said seriously, "Asike, you know that the higher the level of a transcendent, the stronger the tendency to lose control, right?"
"I know." Ask said.
"Doesn't that mean that the more we advance to a higher level, the more likely we are to face the risk of losing control?" Nora said worriedly, "And the higher the level, the greater the harm caused by losing control, right?"
"That's right." Ask said leisurely, "So do you think that upgrading is a wrong thing? You even think that extraordinary people shouldn't exist anymore?"
Nora smiled sheepishly, Captain, you really understand what I mean.
"First of all, we have to admit that what you just said are indeed irrefutable facts." Asker said slowly, "Promotion will indeed bring some potential harm to yourself and the people around you."
"But when analyzing something, you should not only analyze its harm, but also analyze the benefits it can create, which is the so-called weighing the pros and cons."
"If after calculating the benefits, the danger or risk it brings is acceptable, then we will consider the cost of doing it, which is the so-called cost-effectiveness."
"The benefits outweigh the harm, and the cost-effectiveness is the highest among all things, so I will choose to do this first."
"Oh." Nora looked at him thoughtfully, feeling that something that had been bothering her had been exposed.
"Promotion does have such hazards, and we cannot deny the objective facts." Asker continued, "However, even if we recognize the reality, we can only adjust our own strategies, but we cannot affect the strategies of others."
"In other words, even if you give up your promotion, there will still be countless people in this world who are always chasing any opportunity to become stronger."
"They were promoted, they lost control; they fell, they became mutations."
"And at that time, you, who don't have the corresponding strength, don't even have the chance to stop them."
"Asker, you mean..." Nora finally understood.
"Even if one day you really feel that extraordinary beings should no longer exist in the world, then you must first have the strength to implement your own will before you are qualified to change the world and push it to develop in the direction you want.
." Asik said calmly.
"Instead of castrating yourself first and then hoping that others will castrate with you. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand!" Nora said loudly, waving her pink fist enthusiastically as if to cheer her up, "I want to become stronger!"
"You're absolutely right." Asker took out the "Life IV" potion given by Medea and handed it to the confident Nora, "Take it."
"When Medea comes back, let her and Eleanor watch over you. Drink this to advance to level 10, and then seize the time to train."
"Okay." Nora couldn't wait to go to Fire Island.
Ask closed his eyes again and let Peggy push his rocking chair. He only heard the vampire girl hesitantly ask:
"Ask, as long as you become stronger, can you 100% solve any problem in the world?"
"It's not that absolute." Asik said subconsciously.
"Well, ninety-nine percent of the time it should be there." He thought for a while and then replied.
