Apart from natural-born masochists like myself, players actually aren't the best candidates for grunt work either.
Take that mire producing Black Mud in Red Ridge Town, for instance. It is only because there are still few players that no one has ssed with it yet. Otherwise, when more people arrive, soone will inevitably tear it apart.
Baldy tried to prevent this by limiting what actions characters could take and by setting up safe zones, amongst other things.
But this might be underestimating the players' intelligence a bit. Even if they can't do it directly, there are many ways they can cause destruction indirectly.
It's not that the players are inherently bad, though there are indeed such people, but most are just blindly ssing around out of curiosity.
When people arrive in a new area and face new rules, they subconsciously want to explore the boundaries. This is actually a way for players to learn and adapt to new roles.
Plus, this type of exploration brings its own fun. Rather than trying to restrict it at every turn, it might be better to go with the flow and even utilize it.
Baldy still seed unsure, "I've seen your plan, and indeed, so powerful lords in the Abyss also distribute land to their loyal subordinates.
"For example, I received Red Ridge, but even the lowest-ranking Skeleton Soldiers getting land has never happened before in the history of the Abyss.
"And they haven't contributed anything yet, nor have they proved their loyalty to Lord Aisagon. If I distribute land to them now, even just a tiny bit, other original residents in the town probably won't be happy."
"It's fine, it's just a nominal title. If you think it would be difficult to explain to Lord Aisagon, just change the na to sothing like acting village head. This will also motivate players to strive for a permanent position.
"As for the other NPCs in the town, let them be unhappy. There's no need to hide it; let them openly express their dissatisfaction. It's like that saying, 'suppress to promote'. It's all over the internet literature."
"Feeling the NPCs' distrust, players will be even more motivated to strengthen themselves, to prove the doubts wrong by their actions, enjoying the thrill of proving others wrong.
"Yeah, but you should also control it a bit, don't go too far and create serious grievances."
Baldy was still frowning, "Assigning so peripheral land to players for managent isn't out of the question, and it could even help them clear out nearby Wild Monsters for free, ensuring Red Ridge's safety.
"But then there would be no one left to do the grunt work. Your idea of raiding other weaker territories is also a thod, but at the beginning, with the players' strength, they can't even defeat a Ghoul, who could they rob?"
"Initially, just use them like Palu as originally planned. Anyway, they need to build up so experience if they want to beco lords, and having a goal and motivation will make them more eager to complete quests.
"Moreover, once the number of players increases, the workload distributed among each individual actually won't be that much."
"Hmm, should we reduce the requirents for so quest items then?" Baldy asked.
"No need, that would be too unfair to the earlier players. Don't worry, this little problem, the players can solve it by themselves."
......
Boss Hu almost couldn't rember the last ti he played a ga. It seed to be an online ga called sothing like "Legend," where he had created a guild, led a bunch of brothers, and fought against rival guilds, enjoying lively days.
But then he had children and his company grew larger, leaving him no ti for gas. Now that his child had gone off to college and his company's business had stabilized, he finally had more ti.
But many of the gaming buddies he used to play with, their profile pictures had not lit up in ages.
Boss Hu's interest in gaming had waned; this ti, coming to play in Red Ridge was more about that miraculous Atonent Cake.
Besides, Boss Hu had also not forgotten to arrange for people to queue up early outside the Universe Infinite Canteen, ready to grab one of the limited 20 servings available tomorrow.
Given the Atonent Cake was effective and yet had no side effects, he was determined to secure it, thus making backup arrangents.
Not only that, but Boss Hu also planned to let his party mbers collect more ga discs tomorrow, so he could organize more people to hunt for Pie Coupon Fragnts.
After all, gaming is definitely not a solo activity.
However, tonight he planned to scout the ga alone, for which Boss Hu had just bought a PS5 at the store.
After entering the ga and watching the introductory cutscene, Boss Hu marveled at how much ga technology had advanced, far surpassing the pixelated quality of his day.
This piqued his interest in Red Ridge even more, especially after rembering Baldy's furious investnt of fifteen million in collaboration with Universe Infinite Canteen. Boss Hu thought that Hakimi Network Technology Co., Ltd. wasn't weak. He just didn't understand why there was no marketing for the ga after its release.
Maybe because they only sold ga discs?
However, Boss Hu wasn't very familiar with the gaming industry, so he didn't dwell on this point.
Soon he had watched the opening animation and entered the Face Alteration System.
Boss Hu didn't see any difference in the skeletons, so he used the one-click selection to enter the ga.
Upon arriving at the spawn point, Boss Hu moved the joystick around, observing the surroundings and couldn't help but internally praise the ga's exquisite detail.
He was originally here just for the Atonent Cake, but now his interest increased seeing the impressive setting.
While he was checking the environnt, an NPC with the word 'Quartermaster' over his head had already spoken.
"Humph, another little Skeleton Soldier who wants to be an acting village head. It doesn't matter, you'll probably disappear just like the others after a few days.
"By the way, if you want a backpack, you can collect 500 portions of Black Mud for in Mire Pond to the north, but I doubt you can even complete this simplest task."
Having dealt with all sorts of people in his years of doing business, Boss Hu didn't get angry at the comnt but simply smiled lightly.
The NPCs in this ga were quite impressive, realistically showing disdain through their tone and looks.
Boss Hu then glanced at the quest log where the new backpack quest had appeared and walked toward Mire Pond.
He returned in less than half an hour.
The Quartermaster saw him and let out a cold laugh, "Hahaha, you gave up faster than I thought... Wait, where did you get that backpack?"
"Oh, I bought it from another player," Boss Hu typed.
