Players’ NPC daddy

According to the length of the continent measured by foreigners, the distance is more than 13 kilometers. It is unknown how long it will take just to walk there step by step, let alone build two city walls.

Many people left and went to more promising places, and the few remaining executive staff looked at the deserted construction site with despair on their faces.

The good news is that because some people ran away, the remaining people upgraded on the spot. The bad news is that they have no one available.

The clerk, no, it should be the former clerk and current store manager Yuri, was sitting under a rough big umbrella with his hands on the table like a prisoner facing interrogation.

Today, not to mention the shop assistants, even the construction workers are gone.

In fact, the only construction target completed in this area was to cut down a small circle of trees and build this simple little campsite.

"what do I do……"

The store manager, Yuri, slammed his head on the table in pain.

When he was young, he also wanted to be a hero, a famous person. But without blessings, without background, just an ordinary person, he was destined to be a nobody.

But being a small person is not a reason to give up on yourself.

He watched with his own eyes as [Herbie Hermes] went from being a waiter running around to becoming the current acting president of [Hermes' Traveling Hat].

Many people say that this person has talent, connections, and opportunities, but he knows that this seemingly young girl has worked hard for more than ten years.

While those who were gossiping and jealous behind her back were still indulging in their youth, this little girl had already started working hard to climb up.

Store manager Yuri didn't know what President Hebi was thinking. He was just an insignificant pawn, and the greatest contribution a pawn could make was not to betray the big guys when they needed him.

Sitting here and waiting is not a difficult thing. The inner torment is nothing more than a self-justification for wanting to escape and not wanting to face difficulties.

"Whoo~"

The store manager Yuri took a deep breath. Although his face was still covered with cold sweat and his eyes were still very shaken, he clasped his fingers together and locked his body tightly on the chair.

The pawn also has the awareness of a pawn, and now he has become the leader of the pawns because others can't hold on. This is an opportunity.

God had given him the test, and he had received the reward not by luck, so he would continue to persevere.

A gust of wind blew and dust flew up.

The store manager Yuri couldn't help but squint his eyes. In the dust, a figure was looming and seemed to be walking towards him.

Are they the workers who haven’t given up and left yet?

The store manager, Yuri, couldn't help but wipe his sweat off his face and leaned over to pick up the task list. Even though there was only one person coming, he would do his job well and greet them with the utmost enthusiasm.

"you--"

Before the store manager Yuri finished his words, more and more figures appeared in the dust and smoke.

They marched like an army, but were dressed in strange shapes. They were the representatives of power and freedom in this world—the strangers.

The store manager Yuri rubbed his eyes hard, then slapped himself hard a few times, his face turned red. When the store manager Yuri opened his eyes again, the dust was blown away by the strong wind, and the number of strangers increased to the point of a huge crowd.

The last time I saw this kind of scene was the legendary [Nimea Giant Line].

But last time, it was the large amount of materials and various forging masters that attracted such a large number of foreigners, but here he only had a shabby shed and a bunch of task orders to hire ordinary workers.

What brings these strangers here?

The store manager Yuri stood up in a hurry and wanted to tear down the shed. He could only think of one answer, that is, there was some very powerful monster or dungeon here, and he was blocking the way.

Unfortunately, he was a little slow, as a stranger had already entered the shed and walked up to the counter.

"Um, Mr. Stranger..." The store manager Yuri broke out in a cold sweat. He was not a blessed person, but he could feel the terrifying aura of this stranger.

As the former errand boy of [Hermes's Traveling Hat], he had seen the most powerful strangers. The stranger in front of him was undoubtedly one of the strangers who had reached [Extreme].

He wanted to leave wisely, but the terrifying aura of the stranger made his legs unable to move, and his face remained stiff with a business smile.

Strangers are never polite to people who block their way. He is dead.

Who knew that this stranger just picked up the task list on the table and wrote his signature on it.

【Puffy Green Frog】

"Ok?"

The store manager Yuri was stunned because this stranger actually accepted the commission. Such a powerful stranger actually accepted such a boring and time-wasting commission to build a city wall.

Could it be! ?

The store manager Yuri suddenly stood up and looked directly into the eyes of the puffy green frog, feeling a surge of strength and courage.

"Will you accept this commission?!"

"Ah? Yes, that's right." The puffy green frog looked at the store manager Yuri with a strange expression, and then showed a cautious and tentative expression, "Is there a level limit for this commission? I can use a small account."

"No no, no request! No request!"

The store manager Yuri became excited, then looked at the noisy strangers in the back.

"Are they here to take on commissions as well?"

"That's right, it's a warm-up event." The Puffy Green Frog didn't have any doubts about what the store manager Yuri said, and continued to sign his name seriously - that is, to make his [Puffy Green Frog] turn into a frog shape.

The miracle happened!

The store manager Yuri's eyes filled with tears. Strangers can bring miracles, and strangers will never give up. As long as strangers accept the commission, they will never give up the commission no matter what.

The construction site that was empty a few minutes ago is now filled with strangers!

That impossible world barrier was built with the first brick laid down the moment the first order was accepted.

When this impossible project begins, success is in the future.

Chapter 793 Are you still paid to work?

The next second when the store manager Yuri saw hope, the spark of hope was extinguished.

With just one sentence, the inflated green frog made the store manager Yuri fall into an abyss even deeper than before.

"Is this the day knot?"

Strangers are not free labor, they want to be paid, and the payment must be proportional to their efforts.

At this moment, the crowds of strangers suddenly went from hope to despair.

The current [Hermes' Traveling Hat] would definitely not be able to come up with so much money to hire so many strangers.

Everything is over.

Unexpectedly, a miracle happened, but he did not catch the power of the miracle.

"Yes... yes." The store manager Yuri almost bit his lips as he said this. He could not lie to the customers and employers, otherwise it would go against the purpose of [Hermes' Traveling Hat].

Bankruptcy will only make [Hermes's Traveling Hat] exit the stage of history, but a credibility crisis will kill [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

Next, whether the Puffy Green Frog leaves because the reward is too low, or a large number of strangers take over the commission, [Hermes' Traveling Hat] will be doomed.

But at least I held on until the end.

Just when the store manager Yuri was completely desperate, the puffy green frog said in a very light tone.

"Oh, it's quite cheap, I'll just pay for one year first!"

"Eh!?"

A small purse fell on the table, and the dazzling gold coins inside made the store manager Yuri dazed. Because of the huge shock, after all the ups and downs, only one sentence popped into the mind of the store manager Yuri.

You guys...are still paid to work.

The store manager Yuri instinctively accepted the money bag, signed his name in the authorization column of the order with a bright smile, and handed it to the inflated green frog along with the project order that was originally planned to take ten years and a thousand people to complete.

"Next person!"

The puffy green frog left happily, and the store manager Yuri greeted the next stranger with a smile.

It's not cheating when both parties are willing, it's a win-win situation.

The strangers said it was cheap, so what was wrong with it? If any stranger asked for compensation, he would definitely give it, but if no one asked...

That is God's will!

Would you? Definitely not!

Because players only appeared at the construction site after seeing the official warm-up event, the super-long construction line, which is as long as the diameter of a planet, is enough for every player to join in and have room to spare.

This is definitely a permanent way to play, and you can brag to others in the future: "See this Great Wall of tens of thousands of miles? From here to here, I built it all!"

And for the first time, the official also clearly marked that this is a reputation mission, and as long as you join it, you can continue to gain a lot of reputation.

No one will miss the opportunity to gain reputation, as reputation is the most basic requirement for cultivating ties with NPCs and automatically generating tasks as part of the core gameplay.

In addition, the local laws in the game clearly stipulate that buildings built in neutral zones belong to the builders, and after [Hermes's Traveling Hat] buys the land, it becomes a neutral zone.

You no longer need to defeat powerful bosses to gain reputation, or join a guild to have the right to rent land. Now you only need to go to [Hermes's Travel Hat] to accept the order and you can get the right to build a house!

Obtaining those interesting and fun professions that everyone knows, [Farmer], or even [Village Chief] or [City Lord] is no longer a dream!

With just 1 gold coin a day, you can have the right to build your own small territory!

Ordinary players are happy, lone wolf players are happy, but what about those high-level players who join guilds? They are even happier. Sharing a house and living alone with your own house are two different things.

But the killing players were somewhat unhappy because they could not participate in this event. As mobile treasure houses, how could they successfully obtain commissions among the huge crowds of players?

Wearing the [Wanderer's White Robe] can hide your identity, but everyone uses their real faces, and only a few people hide their identities. There is no way to hide the identity of the murderer player.

It is said that there is a branch of [Hermes's Travel Hat] that specializes in cooperating with killing players. You only need to pay ten times the price of normal players to get the construction commission.

Ten times is only 10 gold coins a day. It won’t hurt after a long time. At most you just have to do more tasks.

“Hahahahaha——” Herbie threw his head back and laughed so hard that he almost died of laughter.

In less than half a day, the almost collapsed activity funds of [Hermes' Travel Hat] suddenly swelled up.

Suppose it takes 10 units of wealth to buy a village unit, while a stranger who rents a village unit only provides a tiny amount of wealth that is almost insignificant.

However, a village unit comes with an incredibly large neutral area around it, and those neutral areas can also be rented to strangers. When stacked together, plus the annual payments made by strangers, the wealth far exceeds 10 units.

Although they cannot cancel each other out in terms of town units, [Hermes's Travel Cap] has longer and more monster-infested areas, which are truly free neutral zones that anyone can occupy.

No matter which kingdom it is, they will tacitly allow someone to build something there, because once it is built, they can take advantage of it, impose taxes by force, or directly occupy it.

Even [Hermes's Traveling Hat] was afraid to plant a flag in the monster area, but now the people occupying that area are strangers, and not just one or two strangers, but a lot of strangers.

No kingdom or force would be foolish enough to touch the interests of a large number of foreigners, who are the most powerful forces in the world.

Herbis thought about it and spoke out his summary in front of the senior executives who were staring at the income slips in amazement.

“This is the power of the masses.”

Who could have imagined that the most powerful race in this world - the strangers - was also the most populous race in the world.

Kullene, who was sitting opposite the long table, put his feet on the table quite impolitely, and the smile on his face clearly showed that he had known that this would happen.

"Tsk." Hebie smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. After all, she was no match for this old guy.

Compared to her gambler-like mentality with a praying heart, Kullene's speculation and planning were very rational.

"The high-level monster areas are left to those high-level strangers, and the relatively safe areas are left to strangers below LV75, so that no one will suffer. However... I don't know if they can stop the monster waves after the world turns upside down."

"And the available places have almost been dispatched. Compared with the overall number, only a small number of foreigners have received commissions."

"If you can't stop it, just make a few more layers." Kullene took out an onion from his pocket.

"What we need is to complete the barriers as soon as possible and reduce the area rented to foreigners to a level where the walls can be built within half a month at the latest, so that the barriers they build can overlap."

"Then the strangers will finish the task too quickly... We need to maintain our enthusiasm." Herbie touched his chin, his eyes fixed on the shrinking map.

"Oh, there are still three more."

Chapter 794 A flood of bad reviews

After releasing the [Pandora Front Warming Up] event announcement, Godlock was greeted with the first wave of massive negative reviews.

This activity was open to all players, but the allocated areas were not enough. According to statistics from players, only about 10% of players received the task.

At that time, the geniuses huddled at their desks and became cowards, leaving only Penguin, an intern, to face the hail of negative reviews at the level of a world war.

The penguin was sweating and didn't know what to do.

"No, don't be afraid! The negative reviews nowadays are just like greeting someone's mother when you are in a bad mood, they are just said in anger!" The kitchenware hugged itself into a ball, huddled under the table, and spoke in a tone that was unclear whether it was comforting or self-hypnotic.

The penguin felt like his pants were about to get wet. These people really couldn't help at all at this time.
