Players’ NPC daddy

If we tell [Hermes's Traveling Hat] about this, it will undoubtedly be a timely help and a great achievement. Moreover, with the initiative of [Hermes's Traveling Hat], this activity will definitely be lively and have a good ending.

In comparison, the Luke Luxor in front of him and the financial tycoons behind him are not good people at all. Maybe they don’t do evil things in the popular sense, but they will cause evil people to continue to appear.

"Huh——" Guild Master Zero took a deep breath and turned his head to look out the window. It was a sunny and windy day, and the world was peaceful today.

He began to wonder whether this incident would develop into a major crisis and whether anyone's interests would be harmed.

After thinking about it, the result is that this is like a war in a no-man's land. The two sides are not competing in combat effectiveness, but in digging speed. Even if a conflict occurs, it will only be a battle between players and killer players.

[Hermes's Travel Hat] has begun to recruit players and will soon begin exploration activities, and the chaebols headed by the Luxor Group will not directly conflict with [Hermes's Travel Hat].

Being discovered means losing, and the same applies to killing players. Being discovered by other players means an inevitable battle, so once both parties start to cooperate, they are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

Guild Master Zero glanced at the chat group. The main group of [Azazel] was in a mess. This was normal, but because of the recent large events, it was difficult for killing players to participate, causing the situation to be twice as bad.

There's no telling when these murderous players will decide to take revenge on society.

Activities that require stealth and require a killer player to participate can be well alleviated, and can also ensure that the matter will not be exposed. After all, if it is exposed, there will be no fun.

Whether to refuse or accept, both are reasonable choices.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Guild Master Zero winked at Luke.

His final choice was to do it, and the reason for making this decision was that he would choose the development that looked more interesting without disrupting the order of the entire game.

He is not a good person in the popular sense, but a hedonist. It would be boring if [Hermes' Traveling Hat] could just sit back and relax. We have to give them some competitors.

The collision of data can create sparks.

However, he is not worried that the rise of the big capitalists through this activity will make the lives of the NPCs worse.

Today, the biggest trump card of [Hermes' Traveling Hat] is not the control of resources or connections, but [conscience]. Every gold coin is beautiful and clean.

If you want to fight with a Chamber of Commerce that does good to the extreme and does it in an awkward way, you can only compete on the same stage if you do it equally well.

Besides, if the big capitalists really rise and do some bad things, wouldn’t the murderous players come in handy?

Guild Master Zero smiled gently and extended his hand toward Luke.

Luke thought it was a handshake and stood up subconsciously.

"Give me the list of all the chaebols involved and their employees."

"Why, why?" Luke's voice was a little distorted. It was not a good thing for a murderer to ask for a list of names. Just giving it out would shorten his life.

"Why? Of course we need to have something in our hands. What if you sell us out? There must be someone to blame for every wrong, right?" Guild Master Ling smiled, but his face was not smiling, and there was no smile in his eyes.

He said firmly.

"You're thinking that."

This is of course, even the temporarily cooperating chaebols will be dealt with, let alone the murderous foreigners. It's just that dealing with the cooperating chaebols is a plan, while dealing with the murderous foreigners is just a thought.

"...Tomorrow I will give you as many murderous strangers as you can mobilize."

"There aren't many people who can be mobilized right now, and there are only a dozen or so who can be fully trusted. After all, the situation here is extremely chaotic." Guild Master Zero stood up and straightened his clothes out of habit.

"I will screen them carefully, so it may take a little longer. Do you mind?"

"This is a prudent choice. I have no objection." Luke shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief. Chatting with the murderous stranger was almost killing him.

But then he became nervous again because Guild Master Zero was staring at him.

"what happened?"

“…No.” Guild Master Zero withdrew his gaze and raised his chin.

The NPC named Nailan should be the hidden mission of this event, and there should be a mermaid beside him.

Is this person a chess piece being manipulated by various forces, or is he a manipulator with ulterior motives?

Looks like things are going to get interesting.

Chapter 1518 Bad Luck

"It's almost time!"

Kuleneka reminded him by beating drums and gongs, but in fact he didn't need to be reminded at all. When the moon rose high in the sky, Blaze would be awakened by the boiling silver blood.

"I say, could you be a little more relaxed and at ease as usual?" Blaze walked slowly to the center of Drifting Island No. 1, while Kullene urged him from behind.

"What you usually see is the state where I have solved the problem a long time ago. I have done everything that should be done, right or wrong, and I have carried the burden for you young people."

"Now I am really forced to do it, I am not prepared at all."

Kulene was banging the gongs and drums. He somewhat liked the musical instrument brought by this stranger. It could wake people up with just a few beats.

However, the strangers created this thing to attract and provoke monsters.

"Oh, then we are the rare ones who can carry the burden with you."

"Don't flatter yourself. No matter what time it is, I will shamelessly drag a group of people into suffering together." Kullene looked at the moon phases in the sky and his expression became serious.

"The rest is up to you."

"give it to me."

Blaze stood in the center, raising his body and transforming into a silver wolf under the moon.

The moment the transformation was completed, the light of the moon fluctuated, as if in resonance, the sea water roared, and Drifting Island No. 1 began to shake.

But after a few seconds, when the experienced sailor hadn't responded, Kullene was the first to shout.

"coming soon!"

Everyone subconsciously grabbed the fixed objects around them. The next second, a huge wave suddenly rose and hit Drifting Island No. 1.

Drifting Island No. 1, which was composed of four large ships, only shook slightly, but the waves washed the deck, and a sailor was swept out before he could grab the rope.

Blazer immediately took out the fishing rod, swung it gently, let the hook hook the sailor's belt, pulled the rod hard, and fished the sailor back.

"Be careful." Blaze threw the sailor back to the deck, and then stared seriously at the continuous, roaring waves.

"I won't have time to pay attention to you guys from now on."

The gravity of the moon was constantly attracting the sea water, which gathered under his feet to form a huge whirlpool. Black crystals were constantly accumulating in the fishing nets in the whirlpool.

The efficiency of salvaging the Ica Stone has indeed improved, but this should be described in terms of filtering the Ica Stone from seawater.

But attracting the sea water with such fanfare will inevitably disturb the monsters in the water.

As the range of the moon's gravity spread wider and wider, ripples appeared in the distant sea water, and countless black shadows were rushing towards Drifting Island No. 1.

This is the side effect of using the moon's gravity to attract seawater, provoking all monsters within the affected area at once.

The longer it lasts, the more monsters will be attracted.

Fortunately, this was expected.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

The man had not yet appeared, but the sound came first, and a wild body fell from the sky and landed steadily on the deck.

Greenland stood up and stretched hard, sighing countless times about her good luck in going to Wolf Head Grass Village more than a year ago.

After meeting Herbie and Blaze, I no longer have to worry about not having any missions.

Like today, just as she was thinking about what to do, suddenly a sign of an urgent task appeared in front of her, and then she was pulled into the sky and came to the top of the sea.

"I just heard that [Hermes's Traveling Hat] was recruiting the Arcadian people. I didn't expect that he was doing this."

Greenland said this casually, but Kullene, who was listening nearby, had a bad expression on his face.

Strangers are good in every way except that they cannot keep any secrets. No matter what it is, once it is known by one stranger, the whole world will soon know it.

Basically, things involving foreigners are always made quite high-profile. If possible, he only hopes that the news of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] salvaging the [Ika Black Stone] will be spread, and the details of how it was salvaged will be kept secret.

"It seems that I can't hide it anymore. There is no other way. I can only do it more publicly." Kullene sighed helplessly and focused his attention on the present.

A large number of sea monsters attacked, and Drifting Island No. 1 immediately prepared a response strategy. The cannons that had not been dismantled immediately emerged from the turrets and began to fire artillery attacks in an orderly manner.

Of course, this round of shelling was only auxiliary, and the real main force was the foreigners on the deck.

The first to arrive was Greenland, followed by Dali Feizhuan, Little Angel and others. After they landed, they immediately started to defend on each side.

Among the attacking sea monsters, the most troublesome one is the lowest level [Storm Swordfish].

The average level of [Storm Swordfish] is only LV30, but they move in groups of more than thousands, and their biological habit is suicide.

That's right, suicide.

[Storm Swordfish] has super strong vitality and reproduction ability. Whenever the number exceeds a certain level, they will start collective suicide to ensure the amount of food in the living area.

They will move at high speed in the waves, then aim at reefs or their enemies and ram them hard, smashing themselves into pieces, and their extremely hard heads will directly penetrate the target.

[Storm Swordfish] can be said to be a ship killer second only to barnacle monsters. Once you encounter [Storm Swordfish], at best the ship will be pierced into a hedgehog, and at worst the ship will be blown up and the people who fall into the sea will also be blown up.

No matter how strong the ship built by the player is, it cannot withstand the swordfish that have spent their entire lives to interpret "This life is only for penetration". The heavy artillery on the ship is used to destroy a large number of these fragile suicide bombs.

But the method of elimination is somewhat special.

When the cannons opened fire and the heavy shells flew out, the sea surface filled with black shadows rippled, and dozens of [Storm Swordfish] jumped out and hit the shells.

Their heads easily pierced the shells, and then their entire bodies exploded into blood.

This is their habit. They don't care who their target is when they charge. By making good use of this, you can weaken the first round of charge of the [Storm Swordfish] as much as possible.

Greenland held the staff in his hand and stared at the huge body that was looming among the waves with narrowed eyes.

"Everyone, we are out of luck!"

The most troublesome thing about [Storm Swordfish] is their suicide attacks, and the second most troublesome thing is that [Storm Swordfish] has a chance to attract monsters that intend to take advantage of them.

The suicidal [Storm Swordfish] can be described as a buffet on the sea, where you can eat as much as you want in one meal.

Chapter 1519 Emergency Situation

Normally, Storm Swordfish will only appear alone. Like barnacle monsters, they attack all targets equally.

Barnacles will parasitize anything, but storm swordfish will crash into anything. Ships are not their first target; whoever is closest will be their target.

Due to the lack of development of marine content, players are limited in their marine combat and must prioritize keeping their ships when facing marine monsters. This is difficult, so players must pay special attention to environmental damage when conducting marine activities and try to avoid turning their ships into battlefields.

The Storm Swordfish is an excellent environmental killer. As long as you lure the attacking or about-to-attack sea monster around the Storm Swordfish, the sea monster will be pierced into a hedgehog by the Storm Swordfish. It is very convenient.

However, in most cases, even marine behemoths will choose to escape after seeing the Storm Swordfish.

No one would be willing to fight against such a fearless monster. Even if they don't die, they will be in great pain. So when the Storm Swordfish appears, the surroundings will usually be as quiet as a life-forbidden zone.

But there are exceptions to everything. The body of the Storm Swordfish, which is full of vitality, will release its vitality after the explosion of a suicide collision and become extremely plump.

If eaten raw or made into food items, it can provide the user with a stackable state of vitality.

Such a delicious sea feast would naturally lead to the emergence of a special species of marine monsters that specifically targets the storm swordfish.

[Greedy Hammer Whale LV150]

[A giant carnivorous whale with an extremely thick shell. It has an amazing appetite and is the main predator in the ocean. When it sprints at full speed, it can smash small islands with its head like a giant hammer.]

The ravenous giant hammer whale is one of the main ship killers in the ocean. Like the storm swordfish, it will directly ram a ship when it sees it. Even a ship of super large tonnage will be directly hit and a hole will be made.

This is the result of countless years of evolution in the ocean. Compared with it, human civilization is still quite shallow.

The gluttonous giant hammer whale is probably one of the rare marine monsters that dares to follow the storm swordfish and even treats the storm swordfish as a buffet at sea. This is thanks to its special shell.

Even crustaceans wearing heavy armor cannot stop the Storm Swordfish, and the three-layer structure on the outside of the gluttonous giant hammer whale's body is specifically designed to deal with the punctures of the Storm Swordfish.

The outermost layer is a very thin layer of skin, but it is very elastic and extensible.

The second layer is a layer of viscous whale oil. Under normal circumstances, this layer of whale oil is fluid, but once it is subjected to a huge impact, it will harden instantly.

The third layer is sponge-like muscle, which can absorb shocks to a great extent. Once stimulated, it will wriggle and contract to form a new layer of skin, overflow with whale oil, and then separate the first and second layers that have been damaged.

This set of skills can not only be used to deal with storm swordfish, but also be used in competition in the cruel ocean world.

The gluttonous giant hammer whale swung its tail and rushed towards Drifting Island No. 1 like a super-large cannonball, unstoppable.

Then the [Birthday Lotus Lantern] thrown out by Greenland diverted the hatred and changed direction. Not only did it not hit Drifting Island No. 1, but it also became the target of the Storm Swordfish because of its sideways body, forming a natural barrier.

The Storm Swordfish are difficult to deal with because they have no brains and only think about suicide attacks, so ordinary enemy-luring props are useless. In comparison, the gluttonous giant hammer whale has a little brains.

But, it was just enough.

While Greenland was having one side of the ravenous hammer whale pierced into a hedgehog by the storm swordfish, he jumped directly from the deck and ran on the ravenous hammer whale, aiming directly at the common weakness of whales - the vent.
