Chapter 72
The group first took a teleportation array to Nightwind City, and then went out of the city to a manor.
Along the way, the water elf also explained to Ling Yu the general content of the task.
About three days ago, the water elves learned from a secret source that there was an evil necromancer hiding in the town of Barry. The mage was conducting a very evil experiment in the town, and a large number of innocent civilians lost their lives because of his experiments.
After a lot of hard work, the water elves found some evidence to present to the mayor there, but unexpectedly discovered that the mayor was actually the necromancer's partner, causing her to submit the evidence instead of being framed as an evil heretic and unable to enter the town.
Rather than give up on this obviously high-level hidden mission because of this minor setback, the water elves continued their investigation, eventually discovering that the town was under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Tirt.
She found the marquis's estate and wanted to hand over the evidence directly.
But at this time, a problem arose: that is, she was not qualified to meet the Marquis of Tirt.
As an important minister of the kingdom, the Marquis of Tilt can be said to be a model of the real power aristocracy, with a very high prestige and status, and it is impossible for ordinary players to even meet each other.
finally found an opportunity to meet, but the other party completely ignored her words and was unwilling to listen to what she said.
The water sprites know that this is the system's protection for those high-level NPCs, so that the player cannot easily contact the high-level NPCs, so that the quest can be easily triggered.
It is also a messenger mission, and the rewards you can get for sending letters to high-status NPCs are definitely much higher than those for sending letters to ordinary civilians. So in order to prevent players from easily receiving tasks from high-level NPCs, it is natural to set various conditions.
The water elves themselves have only a little prestige, and even if they start to improve now, it will definitely be too late. So she can only find players with high prestige to trigger the mission.
She enlisted the help of several high-ranking players, but none of them could help her establish contact with the Marquis of Tirt.
Finally, at the auction, she overheard Ling Yu's existence and guessed that he probably relied on his high prestige to obtain the qualification to enter the VIP box, so she asked him to cooperate in this task.
In addition to Ling Yu and the water elves participating in the mission, there are also four local tyrant players, and the purpose of their coming here is simply to rub the task reward.
The 10,000 yuan reward promised to Ling Yu by the water elves was also paid by these five local tyrant players. Five thousand for one person, and then the water spirit and Ling Yu divided ten thousand each.
Of course, with the water elf's family background of only 10,000 yuan, she naturally can't look down on it, but because she personally hates to rely on her family background and financial resources to play games. So under normal circumstances, she will not use her family's money to invest in games, but choose to be self-sufficient, and invest the money she earns from playing games into games, which can be regarded as an alternative professional gamer.
This way of allowing local tyrant players to rub off on hidden experience rewards can also be regarded as one of the ways for professional players to make money.
Depending on the level of the mission, the rewards are also different.
Generally, it only triggers more difficult hidden tasks, and the reward is about between one hundred and five hundred, and the most is one or two thousand. And the water elves, which belong to the highest level of unique hidden tasks, are therefore so rewarded.
The task that Ling Yu had cooperated with the Six Great Guilds before was of the same nature. It's just that he offset the reward and the commission fee against each other, so he didn't collect additional remuneration from the six major guilds.
Of course, considering that his quest is the ultimate quest in the game that involves the roots of the world, it is several orders higher than those so-called unique hidden quests. Therefore, it stands to reason that the players of the six major guilds have to pay him a very large commission.
However, since Ling Yu didn't know the market of this kind of professional player, he didn't want it like the people of the six guilds, and they were happy to pretend not to know.
Along the way, Ling Yu also asked the water elf for advice on how to be a professional player, and then found that in fact, a low-level player like him actually has a way to make money in the game.
The way to do this is to dig up hidden quests.
In fact, there is no such thing as hidden quests in the Firmament Realm, and those so-called hidden quests are actually some unconventional quests that are difficult to trigger.
These missions often have better rewards than regular missions, so some players earn money by selling shared slots for hidden missions.
However, due to the scarcity of hidden quests and the difficulty of discovering, there are not many players who actually make money in this way. Professional players still earn money mainly by selling in-game currency, equipment and items, as well as training and helping with quests.
But for Ling Yu, uncovering the hidden task was not a difficult task. His high reputation and excellent ability to observe and reason make it very easy for him to find the hidden tasks that are deeply hidden.
In fact, when he was on the Floating Island of the Nine Rings, Ling Yu had unearthed several hidden missions. However, at that time, he didn't know that he could make money with this, so he didn't think about sharing the task quota at all, but completed it independently.
The only hidden quest that was shared was also cheated out of the pay, and he didn't earn a penny.
Ling Yu now also somewhat understood why the players of the Six Great Guilds had such a good attitude towards him at that time. Dare to treat him as a wronged leader, and directly offset the hidden task sharing fee that should be given to him in the name of commission fee.
However, Ling Yu didn't blame the other party for this. After all, the six guilds did give a lot of things in the two missions. Whether it is a large number of core players in the guild who are sent to help complete the task, the various items consumed are also very amazing. It's a huge amount of money when you convert it into money.
Without them, he would not have been able to complete the task and get such a good reward. From this point of view, the six guilds did not give him a hidden task sharing quota fee according to the rules, and it can't be regarded as a trick for him.
After knowing that Ling Yu wanted to become a casual player, the water elf generously introduced a reputable game intermediary to him.
Compared with large guilds with fixed customer sources and channels, casual professional players must rely on these game intermediaries if they want to make money.
A reputable game intermediary can make professional gamers do more with less, on the contrary, if you find a more cheating agent, not to mention how much money you make, you may even be unpaid or unpaid.
With the water elf's reputation in the game industry, the game intermediary she recommended must be the kind of game agent with a very good reputation, which is undoubtedly a great blessing for casual professional players, which is equivalent to finding a long-term and stable meal ticket. As long as your level can get by, there is no problem in earning two or three thousand a month.
Ling Yu was also very aware of this, so he expressed his gratitude to the water elf very solemnly, and secretly decided in his heart that he must find a way to repay the other party in the future.
Everyone came to the Manor of the Marquis of Tirt, and then Ling Yu stepped forward to negotiate.
"I have something very important to ask the Marquis of Tirt, please help inform me." Ling Yu said to the old man guarding the door.
If someone else asked for a report, the old man at the gate would not take a look, but Ling Yu's reputation was too high, so the old man didn't even need to report it, and directly invited Ling Yu in.
And the water elf and the others, as Ling Yu's teammates, also made an exception to obtain the qualification to enter the manor.
The group walked into the sumptuous manor house, through a garden aisle full of flowering flowers, and finally arrived at the reception room of the Marquis of Tirt under the guidance of the servant.
Marquis Tilt's gaze swept over the water elves and the others, and there was a slight unhappiness in his eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Dear adventurer, I heard that you have something to ask me for, what is the matter?" Marquis Tilt bowed slightly and said to Ling Yu with a very respectful attitude.
The water spirits and the others who were watching all this from the side showed obvious shocked expressions. For the Marquis of Tirt, who is a powerful nobleman, to put on such a low profile, it is certainly not enough to rely on just thirty points of prestige. The prestige of this young man in front of them was even higher than they had imagined.
"That's right, my buddies and I discovered an evil necromancer in Barry Town, who colluded with the mayor there to secretly practice evil necromancy in the town."
Marquis Tilt frowned: "This is not a trivial matter. Even if you are as honorable as you, you can't accuse a mayor of colluding with a necromancer without evidence. ”
"Of course we have proof." Ling Yu presented the quest props given to him by the water elves to Marquis Tirt.
Seeing the various shocks collected by the water spirits, Marquis Tilt also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"I understand, I'm going to Barry to fight the necromancer." The Marquis of Tilt acted decisively and said at once
Ling Yu hurriedly said, "Don't be so troublesome, Lord Marquis, you just need to give us a name, so that we can go and arrest the town mayor and that necromancer." ”
If Marquis of Tilt was allowed to bring personnel to deal with the necromancer, not only would their task rewards be greatly discounted, but they would not even be able to get the rewards on the boss, so Ling Yu hurriedly stopped.
"No problem." The Marquis of Tyrt readily agreed.
With the identification provided by the Marquis of Tirt, the group came to the town of Barry again.
It is a small town full of European style, and it looks peaceful and beautiful in the afterglow of the sunset, making it a great place for sightseeing.
The largest building in the town of Barry is the church in the center, and the high and loud chant constantly washes the hearts of visitors, and no one would have thought that such a sacred church would inhabit an evil necromancer.
"You damned heretics again! Come on, get them for me! "Mayor Mare soon shows up with the news, and comes with a large group of NPCs trying to get them.
