I can fall asleep when I say sleep, and I never stay in bed when I get up. I don’t smoke or drink. I never eat more when I think I’m full. I have a balanced nutritional intake every day. I think it’s not good to play with mobile phones before going to bed, so I go to bed.
After that, I will never open my phone once, I will stop eating three hours before going to bed, and I will not open games again.
After all, he is not the product manager next door. No matter how hard he works, he will not die suddenly.
Because he never fishes during working hours, all tasks can be completed before getting off work, and there is no need to stay up late and work overtime. This is a good habit he developed when he was a student.
And Annan never takes on any redundant tasks that are beyond his own capabilities - all the workload he takes on is just what he can complete when he works hard.
He is like a perfect rational machine. Precise, elegant and perfect. His bosses all praise him for being excellent, and doctors say he is very healthy.
This perfect ability to control himself is the reason why he can still maintain his normality through common sense after losing half of his emotions.
After he informed Padre Luis and Salvatore of the important news respectively, he had reached the limit of what he could do.
The remaining things were no longer something he could do well whether he worked hard or not. There was no point in thinking about it, so he left Luis and Salvatore to stay up late and work overtime, and he soon fell asleep peacefully.
This familiar atmosphere of colleagues staying up late and working overtime to finish their work and go to bed early made Annan sleep particularly soundly and wake up feeling refreshed.
When he woke up again, players were already logging in one after another.
Obviously, there should be quite a number of players among them who did not sleep at all, but were stuck online for eight hours.
Because Annan didn't seem to wake up, they didn't disturb Annan very rudely, nor did they rush to talk to people or look for clues about the mission. Instead, they went to find some breakfast, chat in the Shuishui Forum, or
We organized a group to walk around the city and enjoy the otherworldly scenery.
Annan was very pleased.
This shows that these players are still very mature.
If you can clearly understand the principle of sharpening a knife and chopping wood, it means that at least you are not a young boy.
So Annan was moved and assigned new tasks for them:
[The old Viscount from Roseburg does indeed want Don Juan Geraint’s life - in the same way, he also wants your lives]
[There are indeed forces from the royal capital behind him. And he also has other forces secretly supporting him, but so what? In any case, you are not willing to admit defeat here, your adventure has just begun]
[For this, Don Juan Geraint is already prepared]
[As Don Juan said, 'This is not revenge, but murder'. You have successfully defeated an evil murder conspiracy, and now, it is your time for revenge]
【No need to worry, no need to pity, do your best, use any means——】
[Just because evil is present, you are all righteous]
[Obtained the main mission: Disaster of Fort Ross/Defending the Frozen Water Port]
[Main mission: Disaster of Fort Ross (0/20)]
[Mission requirements: Use your own methods to sneak into the territory of Fort Ross without detection, and successfully lurk (0/1), create chaos at the right time, and prepare for Don Juan Geraint’s plan (0/1)
】
[Special needs (+10~100 evaluation): Depends on specific contribution]
[Special requirements: cannot be completed at the same time as "Defending the Frozen Water Port"]
[Main mission: Defend the frozen water port (0/20)]
[Mission requirements: Before the plan succeeds, assist the militia to take security measures to ensure that the frozen water port is not attacked (0/1), and to ensure that "Pastor Luis", "Salvatore Black Tower", "Don Juan·
Geraint" survived (0/3)]
[Special needs (+10~100 evaluation): Depends on specific contribution]
[Special requirements: cannot be completed at the same time as "Rosberg Disaster"]
After suddenly receiving the main quest, players immediately started discussing it on the forum.
They generally understood that this was when Don Juan Geraint woke up, and after discussing with two other important NPCs, he made up his mind to take revenge on Fort Ross.
This is a good thing.
Players feel this from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, the entire Frozen Water Port belongs to friendly units.
After the player landed in the exciting but not hearty war, he fell into a dilemma where there were no monsters to fight, no dungeons to clear, and only some simple daily tasks to do.
Although the world itself surprises and satisfies them enough, there is always something missing.
There is nothing missing now.
The main quest has finally advanced to the point where I can defeat monsters.
According to the players' thoughts, they all definitely want to visit Fort Ross. Not only because they can "legally kill monsters" there, but they also don't have to worry about lowering Don Juan's favor.
What's more, it's a new map over there... maybe there will be some good things there that can't be bought in Frozen Water Port, or new missions that can't be accepted.
Annan also knew that this was indeed the case.
After all, compared to Frozen Water Port, Roseburg is closer to the inland. When Frozen Water Port still belonged to the Principality of Winter, it used to be the border fortress of the Kingdom of Noah, and its transportation with the inland was much closer than Frozen Water Port.
The area is indeed not as large as Fengshui Port, but the number of residents is more than double.
Although theoretically, Don Juan is the lord of the entire North Sea Territory, and Viscount Rossburgh is a vassal who protects him. But after all, he is only the third son of the Geraint family, not his father... let alone his grandfather.
.
Today, Frozen Water Port is still the most important city in the Northern Sea Territory - after all, it is the only large port in the Northern Sea Territory. But after the ban on cross-border trade with the Principality of Winter, the most prosperous city has become Roseburg.
But Annan has already guessed what the players are thinking.
So he directly set the maximum number of players for each of the two tasks to twenty. In other words, only half of the players can go to Fort Ross... This can prevent their homes from being stolen.
A master tactician named Sun once said that all tactics must be transformed.
Annan was worried that after he threw forty nails in, the other person would have the same idea as him...
After setting this up, the players quickly found out through discussions and elections the ten people with the strongest head-on fighting ability in the last battle...and the ten anchors who were the oldest, most bad-tempered, and best at making trouble. Go and pick it up.
Take on this difficult latent mission and act as a purchasing agent.
The three people who had completed the task perfectly before were among them. On the contrary, Jiu'er took the initiative to choose to guard the house.
After the players assigned the tasks, Annan and Salvatore went to the Silver Lord Church.
"Just in case."
In this regard, Salvatore explained: "The advancement ceremony cannot be interrupted. And no one dares to attack the church. After all, the power of the Silver Lord Church... In short, you will be safer if you stay here."
"And you're going to absorb the firepower for me?"
Annan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Salvatore had a serious look on his face: "Because there might really be a spy or assassin sneaking in, and they should be right next to me. Otherwise they can't be sure that I was in the basement at that time... After all, if I happened to be there at that time...
There is no way these black fires can be detonated. Before they detonate, they are just casting materials to me.
"If you are worried about me, complete the advancement as soon as possible and come out. With one more transcendent, Frozen Water Port will be much safer."
"I see."
Annan nodded seriously.
Then, he stood on the ritual circle that had been drawn in advance.
The magic circle is made of red gemstones and has not yet been completed.
Under the watchful eyes of Priest Luis, Salvatore recited the incantation of the Transformation Sect in front of Annan for the first time:
"The partridge in the east, the crane in the west, the sparrowhawk in the south, the owl in the north. Blackened with iron, whitened with fire, yellowed with precious stones, reddened with blood——"
I saw that the gemstones on the array gradually melted and separated. The thin array became three-dimensional, and the triple rings of black, yellow, and white began to rotate slowly and quietly around Annan.
At this time, Salvatore breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, it can guarantee your safety, and we can wake you up at any time... Now, prepare to enter the nightmare."
With that said, he handed a note to Annan: "Just read the name on it."
Annan took the note and read softly:
"Mr. Bones..."
"I'm listening."
A deep voice suddenly sounded in Annan's heart with a heavy echo.
The next moment, a line of data flow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
