Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 160 Mobilizing Players
"What a crappy game. I won't play it anymore. There are so many people. How can a single player survive? What's wrong with me not wanting to form a team?"

"Hey, it's so difficult to play a game. I'm going to log off here today. If there are still so many people tomorrow, I'll change games."

The players around Wang Yue did not start with so many, because Finke had prepared enough wood, and he had already added points to the production at the speed of light, and had made thousands of weapons by hand.

At this time, he was eavesdropping on the players' conversations. Many players who couldn't find monsters to kill had given up the competition and stayed in the town wandering around bored.

"No, I have to find work for you. I can't let you give up so quickly."

Wang Yue moved. He walked to the fountain in the center of the town and asked Fink to howl like a wolf to attract everyone's attention.

"Sir, is this really necessary?"

Fink was in a dilemma. To a werewolf, howling in public was like a wild beast out of control.

In order to maintain his cool appearance, Wang Yue could only use his eyes to make Fen Ke act faster.

"Ugh, ow!"

In the eyes of players, the prompt of this wolf howl is red.

The unaware and bored players all approached Wang Yue, waiting in confusion for his next move.

“Even if it’s a small effort, it’s a contribution to protecting our homeland.”

[Mission objective: Collect forest trees (0/20)]

[Task Reward: 1 Silver Coin]

This is the first secondary occupation-related task that players have seen, and the word "Carpentry" is displayed next to the task.

This means that to complete this task, you must be a carpenter or obtain materials from a carpenter.

Novice players have not yet learned secondary professions. These production capabilities are of no immediate help in combat, and they cost money to learn. Most players who are already in a difficult situation will certainly not touch secondary professions.

"Hey, I don't have the money to start a secondary career, so I can't do this mission."

"What a shame. I thought I had discovered a hidden mission."

Just when the players were feeling dejected, Wang Yue offered them help again.

"For adventurers, necessary labor is also expected."

As an intermediate carpenter, Wang Yue can teach players basic carpentry skills. Learning from him only costs 10 copper coins.

In addition, Wang Yue also opened the sales interface and sold the [Basic Logging Axe] he made at a price of 10 copper coins.

Including the 20 pieces of wood collected by players for him, these woods can be sold for 80 copper coins just by selling them to other NPCs.

The final total income was 1 silver coin, and the task reward expenditure was 1 silver coin.

The players gained skills, money, and experience, Wang Yue gained wood and the players' love, but in the end, only the game system lost.

"Great man, you can gain experience just by chopping down trees. I don't even know what production skills look like."

"Let's go. I'm full of energy now."

The players used their remaining savings to learn skills and buy lumberjack axes, and they were full of enthusiasm for the game again.

The darkness in Wang Yue's heart was satisfied again. He knew that with the characters of the players, if the secondary profession was upgraded to a certain level, they would not easily abandon it.

If he needs help from players at that time, so many carpenters can become his potential subordinates, which is a promising future.

"Stay one more night and leave tomorrow."

The evening is the peak time for players to log in. The 20,000 players during the day have already been exposed to a lot of game content. Even more players who have been spoiled can’t wait to get out of school or get off work early so they can start experiencing the game’s public beta immediately.

At this time, the players led away by Wang Yue had already arrived at the [Quiet Beach] on the east side of the woods.

They haven't realized that in any future version, these ugly little guys will appear in new maps and become part of the main storyline.

"That's not right, Boss. Why is the system telling me that the reputation with the Murlocs has turned into hatred?"

"Don't worry about it. It's just a change from a yellow name to a red name. There's no difference."

Once the Persian studio arrived at the beach, the massacre began in earnest.

Although the number of players coming is increasing, no matter whether there are dozens or hundreds of people, there will always be murlocs refreshing on the beach, and they can never be killed at all.

If you accidentally go north to the depths of the murloc area, the player's hunting speed will not be able to keep up with the refresh speed of the murlocs, and will eventually be killed by them.

"Boss, we have completed our mission. Do you want to go back?"

"You idiot, don't you see that the monsters here are constantly refreshing? As long as we keep killing monsters here, the efficiency of upgrading will definitely be higher than running around. Learn from this."

The five Persian mages found an excellent corner and specifically aimed at the same lone murloc and cast [Fire Arrow] at it, killing one in almost three seconds. The corpses of the murlocs could be connected into a line.

When their mana was exhausted due to spell casting, they went forward to pick up the spoils. However, it seemed that their luck was not very good. After fighting for a long time, they only obtained three green quality equipment, not even one for each person.

"Boss, I seem to have obtained a quest item."

"Give it to me, and don't take it."

The younger brother obediently handed over the letter-shaped prop. Persian opened the letter and found that the game system had already translated the language.

"Scouts report that the murlocs are overrun and are about to threaten the town."

[Mission Objective: Deliver the scout's report to the mayor of Woodland Town]

[Task Reward: 1 Silver Coin]

The letter item is a condition for unlocking hidden missions. The probability of it dropping when killing the murloc is only one in a thousand. In a sense, Persia was lucky.

"It's actually a series of tasks. You did a great job."

With the hidden mission, Persia must of course complete it immediately.

There are so many players here. If someone starts before him, the effect of promoting their studio will be greatly reduced.

"What are you still standing there for? Come with me and witness history."

Persia returned with his little brother in broad daylight, shouting along the way that he had triggered a hidden mission.

Although passers-by would not believe it, Persia has been sending [Scout's Report] instructions in the [Nearby] chat channel, which has aroused the curiosity of many players.

"Remember me, Persian Studio, your future trusted partner. Welcome to our service."

Don’t forget to advertise while there are many people. This way, the advertising effect will not disgust the players.

A large group of players returned to the woodland town. Even Wang Yue was surprised that there were so many people following Persia.

"Isn't that a beta player? How did he attract so many people to follow him?"

Wang Yue was very confused as she watched Persia walking towards her.

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Mr. William is not the mayor of a small town. I was really stupid."

It turned out that when Persia saw Wang Yue, he subconsciously thought that the town was under Wang Yue's jurisdiction.

When he got closer, he found that there was no prompt to complete the task. Finally, with the guidance of his subordinates, he saw the real Zhenzhen in the mayor's hall.

"It seems that he has died. We must now prepare to defend the town against the fishmen."

The mayor shed two tears after receiving the letter. The scout was his own son. He never expected that his son would end up like this after going to check on the fishmen on the beach.

After feeling sad, he remembered his duty, took down his shotgun and ran to the center of the town square.

"Soldiers, assemble to defend the town!"

Three rows of infantry are the entire strength of the town. Their level is only 6, not even as good as the players. It seems that the task of protecting the town has to fall on the players.
