My Player 2

Chapter 36 Signing a Contract
The millions of soul imprints left on the official website of "Desperate Expedition OL" are spots of light of different brightness in Li Li's eyes.

For Li Li, the right thing to do is to choose people from the brightest spots without thinking.

These people are rich, have free time, are quite capable, and have incurred a large amount of sunk costs because their accounts were deleted in the first week. Under the threat of having their accounts blocked if they don't obey, they are unlikely to cause trouble.

However, Li Li learned from relevant discussions on the forum that the price of expedition equipment has skyrocketed during this period. Some wealthy kryptonians have specially bought a bunch of highly enhanced equipment, waiting to qualify for the internal test.

This behavior is undoubtedly adding sand to the "highlight pool".

So Li Li came up with a new idea. Since the "old pond" was full of good and bad creatures, why couldn't he build a "new pond"?

Posting battle videos on the forum allows Li Li to selectively screen out strong players, and the comments of other players below the video can also screen out those with extremely bad character.

The activity that Li Li launched on Blue Star late at night quickly ignited the forum's heat.

However, under the videos of various great masters, a non-video post went against the trend and was firmly locked on the forum's hot list, attracting Li Li's attention.

[Planning to play "Glory Expedition OL"? Ten things you must know. (14+ replies)]

[The Invincible Chatterbox: 1. "Rong Yuan" is currently only a semi-finished product. ]

[The Invincible Chatterbox: Second, the system update of "Rongyuan" will arrange relevant plots in the game to make everything seem logical. ]

[Invincible Chatterbox: 3. Killing NPCs will result in severe punishment, but the specific severity of the punishment is unknown.]

[Invincible Chatterbox King: 4. Chatterbox speculates that the incarnation of the God of Creation can be cultivated. The more experience points you feed him, the stronger his power will be, and the more players he can summon. ]

[The Invincible Chatterbox: Five, every NPC in "Rongyuan" is unique. If you kill them, they will be gone. Because the game content is fully controlled by AI, even popular characters cannot be resurrected. ]

[Invincible Chatterbox: 6. Some of the bosses, factions, and NPCs that are doomed to die in the first round can be saved at this stage.]

[Invincible Chatterbox: 7. I don’t know what additional penalties there will be for death, because no player has died yet. ]

[Invincible Chatterbox: 8. Make good use of the favorability system. NPCs with low favorability may also greet you with a smile, but be careful of him stabbing you in the back.]

[The Invincible Chatterbox: 9. The social system in the game has not yet been launched. ]

[Invincible Chatterbox: 10. The quest rewards in the game are not generated out of thin air. Currently, only the main NPCs can issue quests. Before accepting non-quest commissions, you must consider whether you can get the reward. ]

This seemingly trivial post does serve as a guide for those who did not follow the live broadcast throughout.

Li Li casually gave the Invincible Chatterbox an internal test qualification, then put away the mirror and planned the bargaining chips for today's negotiations.

……

The location for negotiating specific cooperation matters was set in the Tear Building, which is under the jurisdiction of the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce and is located in the city center.

Under the leadership of a professional driver, Li Li and his group of inappropriately dressed guys did not encounter any blind people who came to provoke them.

They had a smooth journey and took the elevator to the conference room on the top floor of the building, where they met the person they were negotiating with tonight.

As for the Chamber of Commerce, in addition to the orc who looked a bit effeminate, there was also a stone colossus in a well-dressed suit. As for the Academy, there was a female mage wearing a pointed hat, and a white-bearded old man who fit the stereotype very well.

In addition, what surprised Li Li the most was that the old acquaintance he often saw on the big screen on the roadside, the Lord of Tiebi City, also arrived here in advance with his team.

It seemed that they had held an internal meeting before Li Li arrived. In addition to himself, Li Li also brought with him the legendary El and six gold-level knights. As for a certain bear toy and a red magic girl holding the bear, they also came.

On the player side, in addition to "Broken Leg", there is also "Golden Wind" who received a notice from the Godreff Gang, and "I don't want to pay the penalty" who is close to the academy.

There was no strange show of authority, and the waiter arranged seats for Li Li and the others in the round table conference room.

But before sitting down, Li Li took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with the representatives present, which was quite impolite.

Taking advantage of the handshake, he relied on his high status as the God of Creation and unscrupulously investigated the information of everyone present, showing off his muscles in front of everyone.

Among these representatives, there are two legendary rank, one demigod rank, and the highest of the others is no more than gold rank.

After Li Li sat down in the seat assigned to him, the stone giant with an unhappy look on his face spoke. He first said a few polite words, then skipped the self-introduction part and asked his men to bring a cage covered with black cloth.

"This is the basis for the negotiations." The stone giant looked towards Li Li.

The waiter lifted the black cloth, revealing a dying [Headless Centaur Ghost] inside. There were glowing runes on the cage, which imprisoned the Centaur tightly inside.

Before the other players understood what the other party meant, they left their seats on their own initiative, saying "I don't want to pay the penalty", walked to the Centaur, took out the mechanical arm from their personal space, attached it to their right hand, and pierced the Centaur, who had lost his ability to resist, with a short blade made of electric arcs.

The next moment, the centaur, which should have dissipated into nothingness, turned into a faint light and was absorbed by the dwarf with the mechanical arm. The remaining light condensed into a beating heart in the cage.

"Breathtaking!" The orc wearing gold-rimmed glasses couldn't help but exclaimed again.

With this "warm-up" performance, smiles appeared on everyone's faces and they began to introduce themselves enthusiastically.

The stone giant is the chairman of the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce, the old man with white beard is the president of the Academy Federation, plus there is the human demigod mayor who came to power through election.

These old foxes who have been immersed in power for many years make Li Li a little tired of dealing with them.

Aperia, who was sitting behind him, was like a hedgehog. Once she felt that Li Li was offended, she would jump out and protest harshly. Several times she almost drew her sword, forcing Li Li to order her to be quiet.

Players also performed differently.

"Golden Wind" is no worse than these old foxes. He used a bunch of blank checks to secure the qualification to "sit at the table" for his guild, which currently only has two people.

As for "Broken Leg" and "I Don't Want to Pay the Penalty", under the guidance of the old foxes, they inexplicably took on the responsibility of gathering players and became partners of the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce and the Academy Alliance respectively.

After poaching the opponent in person, the representatives of various forces did not see any displeasure on Li Li's face and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The cake that Li Li brought was big enough, so big that these forces began to worry about whether they could eat it. It was big enough that they could ignore what purpose this suddenly appearing god wanted to achieve.

Finally, Li Li signed his name on the draft contract.

He secured for players the conveniences that normal game players should have.

After the road between the new base and Tiebi City is opened, the academy will provide a teleportation array for the new base, and the Chamber of Commerce will continuously transport supplies there.

As for whether the subsequent content of the contract can continue, it depends on how Li Li faces the first wave of attacks from hostile forces.
