Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 95 Recruiting Players
Player, a life that is not loved by uncle or grandmother.

In the initial novice period, because of their own immortality, the fact that they appeared to be educated to a certain extent, and the uncertainty in their understanding of their own lives, they did have a relatively glorious period.

Relying on the fact that they will not die, they cheat, take bribes, and even though they are not strong enough, they can use all kinds of despicable behaviors and means to make others surrender. They even use some unstable means to make other businessmen suffer injustice.

However, as time went by, the two sides' understanding of each other deepened, and the environment for players began to deteriorate.

Because they won't die, permanent imprisonment in a black room has become the mainstream means of surveillance. Some extreme areas even lock people's heads in black boxes, suffocate them continuously, and then use weapons to cut up the bodies to create things like meat processing plants. And this kind of thing does not cause much complaint.

The dirty deeds of the players have reached a consensus during this period. The delay of player wages and the seizure of player properties have become acts that will not be punished by law.

Since the player group has no allegiance to any country or lord, they will naturally not be saved or regarded as citizens.

There are no rights, no interest protection, and no matter what business association or environment has problems, the player area will be swept and cleaned up immediately. Because the players are naturally not trusted and are considered to be pests that can be thrown out.

Especially when players share secrets, almost all populations will not trust any player. They believe that the players' knowledge is common, so there will be no secrets if the information is leaked.

Educational institutions such as libraries will close their doors to players, and theft and corporate espionage will directly lead to players being imprisoned.

Although the player union and a series of official high-level officials are working hard to promote and reverse these negative public opinions, the vast majority of players still treat the world with a gaming mentality. There are countless behaviors such as rummaging through boxes and cabinets, turning their backs on people and running away, which has led to the player population being accused and deported from many countries.

In this environment, it is obvious that the Old World is the least impacted. Because they treat players as useful slaves from the beginning, and never treat them as human beings from the beginning. Players can put together more than a dozen warships by themselves, but none of them have enchantments. It can be seen that no one treats them as human beings.

Even though the players have played a lot of roles, and even the last news about Bretonnia was passed on by the players, the goodwill they imagined did not exist at all.

Chivalrous Expedition is certainly a good step for advancement, but the prerequisite is that you must also be a human being.

After returning from the Badlands, the Knight King looked at the information about the second sun in the Land of Descendants, and then announced that the existence of the players was more of a natural phenomenon than life. Therefore, there was no need to do anything to them, and the fact that the promise was effective was a testament to the nobleness of the Knights.

In this case, their environment can be said to be difficult. Only in the Golden Country, where even swamp monsters can come to trade, can the players feel that they are really alive.

"Haha... At first I thought I could do something big by coming to another world."

Leaning on the railing and looking at the psychic torches that never fall outside the Golden City, feeling the beautiful scenery that seems to paint the entire ocean in golden color, the player sighed and felt bitter in his heart.

It felt like three days had passed on the ferry before the player finally arrived at the Golden City. This place was indeed as advertised, and there was no discrimination against the player's identity. Even with all the player's savings, he could buy a 10-square-meter apartment on the edge of the mountain in this city, with a view of the beach and the port.

But as the initial excitement wears off, all that's left for players is melancholy.

He once had a team of more than a dozen brothers in Bretonnia, but since Bretonnia became unfriendly to players, his team fell apart. After all, they have to eat, and a large team has nothing to do, so they can only rely on their own abilities.

Fortunately, he was shameless enough to cheat and do all kinds of work in the past, and finally got a lot of savings, so he could spend a relatively leisurely time. But what about after that? What should he do in this golden country?

Although the Negative Stars have no discrimination against players, their main city is in the Broken Land of the North Pole, and that area is a war zone. It is said that the Negative Stars and the demons have a deep hatred and have been fighting fiercely with each other. They will not allow players to enter the battlefield and cause the front to collapse.

If he lived in the Golden Country, he would not be able to get into the trade fleet where the players communicated with the negative stars. There were only officials and top figures in it, and their credibility was guaranteed.

He also felt that those players who were exploring the surrounding waters and digging for shipwrecks and treasures were not very good.

Because he didn't have enough money to buy a treasure ship, but he didn't think it was appropriate to be a frogman. As for the big player guilds that were expanding into the interior of Albion Island, he was not a player in them, so he couldn't develop a player village.

As a result, I hesitated day by day, and finally I was like now, I could only lean on the railing to feel the sea breeze, look at the golden torch, and feel that the day when crisis began to appear in both reality and the other world.

But just as he finished eating the third squid strip, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Hello, player."

Facing the player's lazy questioning, the person outside replied calmly:
"I am a staff member of the Golden Country Star Negative Hall. I am now starting to promote and distribute tasks. Do you need any help?"

"Propaganda and distribution mission? What mission?"

The player opened the door with a puzzled look on his face and saw a Negative Star Person standing outside in golden clothes.

The tall man with golden lines on his forehead and limbs looked down at the short player and pulled out a piece of paper from his arms.

"Asu, the leader of the player team 'Doing All the Jobs', has extensive work experience and some experience fighting demons, am I right?"

"Ah, that's it..."

"There is a job with good pay that is suitable for you. If you are interested, you can go to the assembly area on the left side of the city hall to sign up."

"Thanks?"

Looking at the Negative Star Person who was covered in golden light and disappeared in an instant after handing him the form and nodding, the player looked at the remaining starlight in confusion, and then was a little dazed at the words on the form.

"Out-of-region expedition team...?"
