Players’ NPC daddy

So expensive!

Chapter 410 People must learn to reconcile with their livers

If we were to say what the biggest piece of information brought by the PV [Light is Dead] is, it would undoubtedly be the new basic profession [Gunner].

What does a basic class mean? The simplest way to describe it is that Ballmon is a super Digimon that can be called the origin of all things and can evolve everything with just one ball.

The basic class not only opens up a new system, but most importantly, it can be integrated with other systems to form different branches. For example, the most basic [Gunner] may just stand there and shoot, but after integrating and sacrificing with the [Hunter] or the highly skilled [Rider], it will evolve into the [Hunter] and [Cowboy].

By integrating it with the magician system's professions, we can probably get magic guns or something like that, and perhaps the technology of the Age of Gods can also be used.

In short, a new basic class represents limitless possibilities, a vast, untold treasure. Many top players who reach Extremes have resorted to self-sacrifice, dismantling their skills, simply to make room for the Gunner.

Discussions on the forum about the [Gunner] profession have been very heated. Many people have begun to speculate on the strength of the [Gunner] and its derivative professions, and claim that times have changed and the next era is no longer the era of barbarians.

However, many people also used videos of themselves performing acrobatic skills in "Godlock" by wielding swords to deflect the laser attacks of God's Generation Grem to show that times have not changed.

Some people even jokingly said that people would no longer have to commit seppuku, but could instead swallow guns.

And in the midst of all the fun, someone always brings up something unpleasant: Blaze's gun. Anyone who's seen the PV knows that after accomplishing the feat of killing a god, the gun will inevitably transform into some powerful weapon.

They proposed to kill Blaze and destroy his weapons. But... the same old problem still existed: no one dared to destroy Marika's spear, so how could you dare to destroy Blaze's gun?

Are you going to take action against [Liberator of Arcadia], [Distributor of Silver Blood], [Opener of the first infinite pool in the game], [Invoker of the Giant Battle], [Free Blacksmith at the Fire Rabbit Forge], [Blade of the Fairy League], [Discoverer of Age of Gods Technology], [Master of giving away free magical skills if you say you have a soul], [Origin of the Gunslinger], [Gossip hero at the center of the triangle of Marika, Audrey, and Herbie Hermes], [Big Daddy who automatically completes difficult tasks and distributes rewards that would otherwise be monopolized by a single player to all players], commonly known as Blazer, who brings infinite joy to players?

I'm afraid you don't want to survive anymore. The people blocking you can circle the Giant Kingdom.

This is certainly an exaggeration, but in Godlock, NPCs have a very strict favorability system. Just like in real life, people will subconsciously reject serial killers. Attacking NPCs will bring serious consequences.

An NPC like Blaze, who has legends among many major forces and even in the Eternal Kingdom that he has never visited, and who plays an important role in every region, will probably be as miserable as the evil players if they encounter hostility.

Even without mentioning the in-game NPC factions, major guilds like the Fairy Nation have also benefited greatly from Blaze. Actually, the Fairy Nation is relatively decent, and will definitely give a dignified end to anyone killed. The Black Witch Cult, on the other hand, is different. They've discovered a bug in the game and will use their magical fingers to poke holes in people's backdoors...

If you fall into the hands of those crazy women, don't even think about dying in a decent way.

Not counting the major guilds friendly with Blaze, other truly powerful and ruthless power players would also take action. The basic class [Gunner] originated from Blaze, so Blaze would have information on the Gunner's promotion.

If Blaze's favorability towards players were to decrease due to some people's suicide, and the upper limit of the [Gunner] profession was permanently capped, it would be a loss for all players.

Of course, most people were just watching the show, because they didn't think those who were clamoring for Blaze's equipment could defeat him. Before, when Blaze was only level 30, he would always be defeated in close combat. Now he is at the maximum level and has an Origin class.

Blazer has a gun, so the bet is whether that gun counts as a melee attack or a ranged attack within seven steps. If it counts as a melee attack, then [Fatal Execution] is no pushover.

Putting aside [Gunner], the second most popular one is [Blacksmith].

The official update announcement clearly stated that as the wisdom of the dwarves was liberated, the upper limit of this profession was opened.

Oh, by the way, this is also thanks to Blaze.

A great achievement. After all, if they honestly asked themselves, even among the vast player base of "Godlock", few could defeat the final boss, the second-generation One-Eye. Even if they wanted to win, they would probably have to bring Blaze as the front line.

Speaking of non-combat professions like the Blacksmith, since ancient times, games that simply offer exciting combat haven't been able to maintain long-term popularity. Players will tire and need to relax, which is when the so-called side hustle becomes necessary.

Known side jobs include [Farmer], [Fisherman], and [Cook]. More realistically, with players' perseverance and idle development, the highest stages of these two professions can become quite powerful top-tier professions...

Blacksmiths are undoubtedly among them, but the number of people seeking instruction at the Fire Rabbit Forge has been increasing lately. After all, Blacksmithing is a profession with a strict master-disciple system. To create one's own forging school, one must first graduate from one.

There are still many people who are keen on forging iron and making weapons for others. After all, in real life, if you forge a sword and sharpen it, you will be invited to have tea.

I really envy the astrology school next door. If a stranger can earn 5 gold coins in tuition, then as long as more people come, the astrology school will be saved.

However, the biggest reason for the Blacksmith's popularity surge is a new weapon, the Unborn Spirit. If you had to categorize it, it would probably fall into the category of a weapon embryo.

Although they all resemble long branches, some have attempted to forge them and discovered that these so-called branches actually possess considerable plasticity. It's virtually certain that this [Unborn Spirit] can be forged into or incorporated into any weapon, including the latest [Gunner].

After this massive series of updates, the people who suffered the most were the guide developers. In the past, they'd been betrayed by game developers by modifying mechanics or fixing bugs that benefited players. This was the first time that the pace of updates had left guide developers completely unable to keep up.

Not to mention the [Midsummer Galaxy], the Nemean Forest and the materials dropped by monsters in it have not been fully explored yet, the ruins of the Age of Gods, [Daytime Winter River], the growth attributes of weapons, and the new basic profession [Gunner] are all in a row.

In the end, the strategy team reconciled with themselves and decided not to grind anymore. Be careful not to be too impatient and miss out on the beauty of this world.

Chapter 411: This tragic ending is always unavoidable

The Golden Forest is the final destination of the special mission of the Hunter, and it is also the place where Blaze originally wanted to go.

The original purpose of choosing [Hunter] was not only because of the highest-level hexagonal profession [Free Hunter], but also because he wanted to meet the ancient races and explore the secrets of the Golden Kingdom.

As a result, by accident, he took on the great mission of returning the stars, and then by accident he fell into various crises.

Blaze is not complaining about anything. While he was in crisis, he was able to help many people and received many rewards beyond his imagination. In the process of heading to the Golden Sea of ​​Trees and solving the Titan Ganges, he also met his teacher Chiron and the warm and friendly Centaurs.

Going to the Golden Sea of ​​Trees is more like a small stopover on a journey.

He originally thought that reaching the Golden Sea of ​​Trees would be a distant future, but he didn't expect that Asgard's crash site would be exactly at the border of the Golden Sea of ​​Trees.

This is probably what is meant by "planting flowers with care but they don't bloom, but planting willows by accident but they grow into a shade."

So the moment he finally set foot in the golden forest should be the moment when he fulfilled his little obsession and allowed the [Hunter] to embark on the next stage.

But the Hunter was gone. He had finally raised him to the maximum level, but it had vanished without a sound. He hadn't even enjoyed the days of his Level 99 level drop to Level 85, and the culprit was the Sharpshooter Level 1.

Why do these special professions always keep targeting the Hunter?

The good news is that [Sharpshooter] is the origin profession of the new basic profession [Gunner]. LV1 is the maximum level and there is no experience point distribution for upgrading.

The bad news is that the profession of [Sharpshooter], or [Gunner], is extremely dependent on weapons, and only by owning the corresponding weapons can the relevant skills be unlocked.

That is to say, when you are empty-handed, this is a blank profession.

Although he has a [Misttin] of unknown level.

"Damned One-Eye, is this his curse?" Blaze couldn't help but cover his face. After destroying the second-generation One-Eye, he felt that there was no substantial benefit except that he could vent his anger.

Oh, there is also a special title [Blind].

Blind

[A title bestowed only upon those who slay those of light. This title, granted at the cost of sight, increases the accuracy of throwing attacks, enhances the effectiveness of all dark-attribute skills, magic, and special statuses, grants the Murderer status, and increases the damage of throwing weapons.]

Blaze tried to close his eyes, and [Blindness] took effect immediately, as if covering his eyes would satisfy the requirement of giving up his vision.

Blaze's expression, alternately smiling, dejected, and fierce, made Marika worry he might be losing his mind. Chicken remained calm. This wasn't the first or second time this had happened. Based on her experience, it was bound to happen again.

The one who was more saddened by the departure of the Hunter than Blaze was the elf.

"This, this is it!" The elven elder Kanreis covered his head, trying to make his brain, which had been tortured by the years, understand the situation.

"An important object was taken away, but after being taken away, it will return to its original owner. But now the position where the original owner can combine with it has been brought forward... This complicated feeling of being preempted is so exciting. This is the first time I have encountered such a routine in my life."

Today seemed to be the moment when the long and stagnant time of the elves took a step forward, but Blaze only felt that he was severely blasphemed.

"Ahem - Herbie's matter?" Blaze coughed forcefully and got to the point.

The direct purpose of killing the second-generation One-Eye is to find a way to resurrect Herbie.

Speaking of this topic, the elf elder Kanris showed a complicated expression, as if something unexpected had happened.

"Based on my understanding of the elves, if something happened to Hebi, they would definitely be excited and ready to pay with their bodies instead of showing such complicated expressions." Chicken glanced at the elf elder Kanris, who had already figured out the nature of their race.

"Elves are a race that lacks humanity and emotional intelligence, prioritizing their own instincts. So this behavior is most likely due to a mistake, not too big or too small, probably a slap in the face of my previous promise that no one would get close to Herbie."

"Ah, this..."

The elf elder Kanreth was extremely embarrassed and honestly admitted that they had made a small mistake and allowed a stranger to come into contact with Hebi.

But there was a problem. Chiron and the old lion, who had vowed to protect Hebe, did not discover the stranger. The timing of the stranger's contact was also very delicate. It was when Hebe woke up and was full of energy.

What's more, it is said that the stranger not only did not harm Herbie, but also cashed out all the cash on him.

In summary, the elves made mistakes, but Chiron and the old lion also made mistakes, and their mistakes were not big enough. It was like being in a state of being neither here nor there, almost failing, but just a little bit.

This is why the elf's expression is complicated.

Blaze could only sigh helplessly, covering his face. Even Marika's expression froze. A life form possessing near-eternal life, but with a human-like, insignificant view of time, would eventually become something distorted.

For elves, this is quite normal.

"Take us to see Herbie."

Blaze did not pursue the matter too much. After all, the elf elder Kanreth was looking at him with a very eager look. What else could he do except be magnanimous? Pursuing it would be more like punishing himself.

Unexpectedly, Marika had no intention of following Blaze into the golden forest.

"I can feel the golden forest's rejection and fear of me, although I don't know why." Marika tapped her shoulder with Surtur in distress.

The elven elder Kanris smiled awkwardly. No forest would allow a fire to enter its body, let alone a fire that possessed vitality. Furthermore, the dragon, a symbol of eternity, was inherently at odds with the golden forest, which emphasized the cycle of life and death.

In addition, there is the blood of the dwarves that gives life to the ore, and the blood of the giants that are born from outside the earth.

If Marika had been missing even a tiny bit of one of these elements, Golden Tree Sea would have let her in for Blaze's sake. But Marika had all of them, a miracle among miracles.

Blazer was in a dilemma. He couldn't just leave Marika here alone. Marika smiled helplessly and leaned on him.

The red-haired girl probably wanted to make a shoulder-bumping move, but because of the height difference, she ended up bending sideways and pressing down on Blaze's head. Her cool profile made a small bulge on the top of Blaze's head.

"I have my own things to do. Do you know how much work it is to manage those heroic warriors and the revival of Asgard?"

"This, this is not good. Doesn't it have an original owner?" Blaze was ashamed. Odin might want to come back.

"We conquered this, so of course it's ours. Go ask those heroic warriors who this city really belongs to," Marika said matter-of-factly. "Keeping this unpleasant name is a sign of respect for its original owner."

"And haven't you already acknowledged the original owner as your father? You are now the legal heir."

"when!?"

Chapter 412 [Gunman]!!!

The biggest shock in life is finding yourself suddenly having a new father. It's the kind of father everyone knows about except you, and when you think about it carefully, he hasn't done anything good.

Blaze vehemently denied it, but it seemed to be a confirmed fact.

"What went wrong?" Blaze looked up and sighed.

But the air in the Golden Sea of ​​Trees was truly wonderful; a few breaths would force you to feel refreshed, and even if you wanted to feel depressed, you couldn't. So Blaze learned to make peace with himself, and when he saw Odin again, he would definitely scrape out the surplus value.

Of course, the most important thing is that Blaze doesn't want these trivial matters to affect his good mood of coming to an unknown area.

The Golden Sea of ​​Trees, one of the greatest regions in the world. On the top continent, extremely rare life trees clustered together here, so Blaze could feel countless gazes from the life trees.

It wasn't hostile, it was pure curiosity.

According to the strangers, the special tasks associated with Hunters include helping the elves eliminate the pests in the Golden Sea of ​​Trees. These are insects that cling to the Tree of Life and suck its sap.

The reason why the insects are described as pests is because they have grown enormously due to the sap of the Tree of Life, almost as big as elephants. However, the elves said that the size of these insects is still far from the giant insect species of ancient times.

The elves' direct metaphor for giant insects is a large flying dragon.

When leading Blaze to Hebi's location, the elf elder Kanreth expressed in a very subtle and awkward manner that he hoped Blaze could also clean up the harmful insects he encountered while passing by.

While the elves were formidable fighters, the pest insects that had also lived in the Golden Sea of ​​Trees for years had long evolved structures specifically designed to target the elves' bodies. This was why the elves invited strangers to help them deal with the pest insects.

However, it is usually the half-elves who negotiate with foreigners, and the elven language is still an unknown subject to foreigners.

When Blazer saw a pest insect, he realized for the first time the value of the word "pest".

[Golden Violent Cicada LV85]

[A giant cicada-like monster that thrives by absorbing the sap of the Tree of Life. Due to its insect-like structure, its health is constantly decreasing due to its unfamiliar environment. Simultaneously, due to absorbing the sap of the Tree of Life, its health is constantly recovering, causing it to be in a constant state of frenzy.]

It was a giant cicada, completely enveloped in a black shell. The shell was seamless, without a single gap. Its golden pattern pulsed erratically, like the cicada's breathing.

Judging from its appearance, it can be said that it completely restrains elves who are good at bows and magic.

"No matter how powerful insect monsters are, their lifespans are extremely short. Therefore, it is very easy for them to pass on information about their natural enemies to their offspring, allowing their offspring to complete the corresponding evolution." The chicken has known the Tree of Life for many years and is quite familiar with the troubles of the Tree of Life.

Now she acts as commentator.

"The sap of the Tree of Life is a powerful source of life, no less powerful than the blood of the Evil God. It's enough to support insects by shortening their growth cycles and rapidly transforming from larvae into adults. The blood of the Evil God can also cause insects that have already reached adulthood to metamorphose once more, making them even more twisted and terrifying. This is why the Golden Sea of ​​Trees is sealed off."

"I see. But now there's only one of the Hundred Fetuses River left on the top continent. The two galaxies will suppress the remaining one, and the pressure on the Golden Sea of ​​Trees will decrease."

Blaze understood. After examining the Golden Raging Cicada clinging to the Tree of Life, he pulled out Mistydin. The Hunter had sacrificed himself for the Gunslinger, so surely this class should offer some kind of reward to comfort him.

[Gunner] series professions require holding a [gun] to use skills, and the [gun] needs ammunition to launch an attack.

Blazer was frantic as he reloaded the precursor to Mistydin, taking him a long time to do so. He wondered how deft Herbie must have been to pull off such a feat in seconds.

However, when the [gun] becomes a professional weapon, everything becomes simple.

First up is the [Forger/Fire Rabbit] class. With the introduction of the [Gunner] class, the Forger class has updated its crafting list. Perhaps because the first class-certified gun in this world was a flintlock rifle that could only fire one bullet, only [Projectile Crafting] has been added.

It is estimated that in the future, the Stranger will create more types of guns because of the Gunslinger series of professions. Now Blaze can only use the flintlock rifle, but it is enough.
