The Survival Rules of NPCs

Chapter 86: How did you manage that?

Is this guy crazy?

Did she own Holy Stone City?

Park Young-joon, who had initially held a slight sense of apprehension towards this mysterious top player in the North District, now only felt utter mockery in his eyes. "This guy's a complete idiot..."

Don't even mention you. Even Eliza, the city lord of Holy Stone City, how would she recognize my members if I didn't proactively say that I'm from Han Du? As long as she opens Holy Stone City, she has to let the refugees into the city. And if she lets the refugees into the city, why can't my people enter?

You personally sent four people to check at the city gate?

Have you ever met anyone from my guild?

Not to mention, this spy from the North, who speaks as if he can make decisions for Holy Stone City, is actually being hailed as the number one player.

What's the skill level of these guys in the North?

Seeing Park Young-joon's sarcastic smile, most of the players from the north felt a little embarrassed. They hadn't expected that this guy, who was usually so mysterious that he wouldn't even let anyone see his face, would be so childish.

"Ahem... um..." Black Rose was about to speak to ease the awkwardness when Sweet Rice Dumpling spoke first: "How about we make a bet in your city of Han?"

Everyone:

'

Are you addicted to being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)?

"How do you want to bet?" Park Young-joon asked with amusement.

With a wave of his hand, Sweet Rice Dumpling appeared before everyone, a treasure chest radiating golden light. The chest was filled with glittering gold coins, leaving all the players speechless for a moment. Even Black Rose, who had seen many grand displays of wealth, was stunned.

That whole box... it's worth at least tens of thousands of gold dollars!

Although I have seen big scenes before, all the assets I currently manage probably don't even amount to half of what's in the box!

Other poor players were even worse off; they didn't have many coins in their bags to begin with, and their eyes turned red instantly!

Did they strike gold while making this sweet rice dumpling? A lone wolf... that's way too much!

That much money could arm an army of a viscount!

Park Young-joon's eyes widened, his heart pounding. He had been running Han Du for so many years, and although it might sound a bit pathetic, the truth was that he had never seen so much money before!

Perhaps at its peak, the entire Han City had this much operating capital, but... he had never before pooled together so much gold and cashed it all at once.

Just like a company owner with a high turnover in his account, but when he looks at his own account balance, he is only slightly more than an ordinary employee... and most of the time he is even in debt.

I've never seen a boss with so much cash to make a bed, right?

"Tomorrow, if even one person from your Han Du City manages to get in, I'll give you this box of gold."

"Are you...are you sure?" Park Young-joon's voice trembled slightly. He was currently in dire need of money. The destruction of Han Du in Mirandil had caused too many losses. To rise again in the Beth Empire, he needed a lot of money.

"With so many people testifying... are you still afraid of going back on your word?" Sweet Rice Dumpling kicked the box right at Black Rose's feet: "You can keep it for now."

Black Rose was also stunned by this bold scene; if the other person had been a man, she would have pounced on him without hesitation.

The other guild leaders looked at the box of gold coins, then at the pitiful few gold coins in their own inventory, and for the first time felt the gap between the number one player in the North District and them!

"But if the people from Han Du don't get in tomorrow, from now on, I'll decide who gets the player slots. Any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads. With your domineering attitude, who would dare to object?

That's not right. If the other side loses, Korea will benefit, but if they win, we have to follow your rules. That doesn't make sense, does it?

However, no one dared to bring it up, because at this moment, someone finally realized that the other party was not just a simple case of being immature.

Perhaps... she really does have that ability?

"Is this method reliable?"

In Holy Stone City, Wang Gou Dan drank beer, stood atop the city wall, and looked at the bonfires in the distance.

Trying to make sweet rice dumplings look like this is bound to cause problems.

Bright was also a little guilty. The plan was actually quite good, but the executor was the guy who would use his spatial abilities to run away if he was scared by rats, which made it a bit risky.

Considering the presence of the Shadow Faction in Holy Stone City, and the high probability that these factions could come into contact with the players, Bright felt he had to keep the outside players under his control in order to prevent them from being quickly exploited by the Lord of Shadows in the future.

However, if there are too many outside players, it will become difficult to control them. By entering in batches, conducting detailed observation and investigation, and relying on one's own intelligence notes, the direction of the players can be controlled to the greatest extent!

However, the main reason this plan could be implemented was because of Han Du.

After the collapse of Han Du, most of the unregistered Chinese players left, and the escape route of the guild leader Park Young-jun was exposed, which was to go to the Beth Empire. If I'm not mistaken, Han Du will not miss this opportunity in Holy Stone City, because he also heard from Michel that Duke Raven had issued an intelligence bounty.

Because his coordinates were frequently exposed on the road, and in order to prevent spies from further revealing his whereabouts, Park Young-joon eventually gave up on all the Chinese players, and now he is surrounded by members from his home country of South Korea.

That makes it easy to identify.

Only one city gate will be opened tomorrow, and even with only one gate open, Park Young-joon would probably feel victory is assured. But unfortunately, no one could have guessed that there was someone in this world who could see their names above their heads...

As dawn broke, the gates of Holy Stone City, which had been closed for a full month, finally reopened to the public, and the refugees who had been waiting outside were eager to move out.

Many people have heard that a new viscount has arrived in Holy Stone City and is looking to recruit a large number of workers.

Many players also pretended to stand on the periphery, wanting to see how yesterday's absurd gambling game would end.

"You... are not allowed to enter."

"On what grounds?"

An argument quickly broke out at the city gate, with the player disguised as a refugee arguing confidently, "They can go in, why can't I?"

The female knight Elsie was in charge of the city's defenses at the gate. Her face was indifferent, and she said without even glancing at the other person, "The beautiful Lady Eliza is a kind-hearted person. This time, the chaos caused by the cult did not make her refuse refugees. Instead, she increased the number of refugees she accepted. But that does not mean that she is willing to let some rioters into the city."

"What makes you think I'm a troublemaker?" The player felt a chill run down his spine, but his face showed a lot of defiance.

"Real refugees wouldn't be as arrogant as you. Get lost, or... don't blame us for treating you like a cult spy!"

The player's face turned pale, and he retreated with great reluctance. Seeing this, the players watching at the door looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering if it was really that effective or just a coincidence.

Could it be that sweet rice dumplings really have a way to intercept all players in Han Du City?

Where did she get the authority to make the knights at the gate cooperate with her?

Even if she has this right, how does she identify it?

"It must be... a coincidence, right?" Berserker Legend asked Black Rose behind him, stunned.

Black Rose remained silent. If that guy could really do it, he would truly be a legend!

Park Young-joon's face darkened. He didn't believe such an absurd thing. He gave a look, signaling the next player to try it.

This time, the player was more low-key and dressed in an even more distressed manner, but was still stopped. More than a dozen people had already walked past without being stopped, but when it was the turn of the player from Han Du City, they were stopped. It was as if they had a third eye!

This time, the players from Han Du City kept a low profile and did not refute the argument. Instead, they complained and begged, saying that they had been starving for many days. Even so, they were still ruthlessly refused entry.

After that, Park Young-joon began to try more methods, such as having someone bring two children along to try, or pretending to be a patient, or even a businessman, but none of them worked. As long as they were from Han Du City, they would be stopped!

This bizarre scene left the players speechless for a long time.

That mysterious zongzi was truly something else; it prevented anyone from entering the city of Han. Could such an amazing feat really be achieved?

"President... what should we do?" The subordinates panicked; it seemed they had offended someone they shouldn't have.

Park Young-joon was also completely disoriented and at a loss. He couldn't believe that such a thing could happen in this world.

How is that possible?

"Perhaps... let other players try it?" someone couldn't help but say. "Maybe that sweet rice dumpling yesterday secretly marked all the players in Han Du City? Or maybe it secretly marked all the players, so that any player can be recognized."

Park Young-joon's eyes lit up; this might be an explanation.

With that in mind, he swallowed his pride and begged the others.

However, Han Du's reputation wasn't good in the Beth Empire either, and both guild leaders and wild players were gloating.

In the end, it was the head of the hunting grounds who signaled for someone to give it a try.

He didn't want to help Park Young-joon; he was just unwilling to really hand over the power to allocate players to that sweet rice dumpling.

If she succeeds this time, Sweet Rice Dumpling's reputation will be unparalleled among players in the north, which is not good for the guild.

As the players from the hunting grounds reached the edge of the city, everyone held their breath and watched.

In their eyes, Park Young-joon's guess was the only explanation.

During the period when they reunited, that guy Sweet Rice Dumpling marked thousands of players, so that they would be identified as soon as they arrived at the city gate.

Although this statement is also absurd, players are not all dead. No matter how skilled an assassin is, if she can mark a thousand players in such a short time, does that mean she can also kill a thousand players in a specific environment?

That's outrageous!

Even this explanation is barely plausible; otherwise, they simply cannot understand how the other party managed to do it!
