Chapter 68: Take the initiative to come to the door
Meng Yang stood up, looked at the two people who walked into the mission hall, was slightly stunned for a moment, then showed a faint smile, and asked:
"Two adventurers, what are you looking for me?"
Zhuang Dafa and Li Yuncheng glanced at each other, and suddenly Li Yuncheng took a step forward, bowed slightly, and didn't know what kind of etiquette he was doing, and then said quite seriously:
"Chief, I have something big to report to you."
"Yes, yes, Chief, this is a matter of life and death for our camp." Zhuang Dafa saw Li Yuncheng speak, and hurriedly agreed.
"It's still two drama spirits!"
Meng Yang was amused in his heart, but he still cooperated with the two of them to act on his face, frowned slightly, and tried his best to make his tone calm and a little anxious, "Adventurer, please tell me what the hell is going on?" โ
"That's right, Chief." Li Yuncheng took over the conversation, seemed to adjust his mood for a moment, and then spoke: "I have seen the warehouse occupied by the stinging beetle, although there are a lot of magic crystals there, but sooner or later these magic crystals will be consumed, we need to have more preparations. โ
"Huh?"
Meng Yang showed a look of surprise on his face, this time he didn't have the slightest intention at all, he just thought of solving the magic crystal, and then let the player carry the magic crystal back from the warehouse, and he really didn't notice the problem of the magic crystal if it ran out.
"This player can!" Meng Yang glanced at Li Yuncheng again, although he had met a few times before, he was not familiar with the other party, but now it seems that this person's observation, or playing games, is really willing to use his brain?
After a slight hesitation, Meng Yang solemnly nodded Li Yuncheng, "We do need a large number of magic crystals to ensure the operation of the summoning circle, once the door of the summoning circle is closed, adventurers, you will no longer be able to enter our world, but the magic crystals in that warehouse are indeed unable to guarantee our long-term use." โ
This is where he didn't think about it enough, he only thought about throttling, and didn't think about open source at all. According to the current consumption of more than 200 people, the use of magic crystals is enough, but if he starts to increase the number of players entering several times next time, even if the players die very little, they will not be able to bear the consumption.
"So, the two of us are here today to get your permission from the Chief, so that we can explore the Magic Crystal Vein for you?" Li Yuncheng said again with a serious face.
"Wow, Lao Li, I'm so unaccustomed to your talk!" Zhuang Dafa next to him seemed to feel the roots of his teeth sour, "Can't you be more direct?" โ
Li Yuncheng hurriedly pulled Zhuang Dafa and said in a low voice: "These NPCs are super intelligent, and they can get a favorability bonus by speaking politely, I have tried it several times before." โ
"Alright, whatever you want." Zhuang Dafa waved his hand nonchalantly.
Meng Yang didn't care at all about the whispers between the two, but then asked, "Two adventurers, do you want to explore the magic crystal veins outside the city for me?" โ
"Yes, Your Excellency, we hope to be able to make a modest contribution to the construction of the camp."
Li Yuncheng's tone was very sincere, and even Meng Yang had a feeling that this brother was too deep in the play.
"Did you come to me to ask for a task, and did you think about the content of the mission?"
Meng Yang was surprised by the subjective initiative of the two, his thinking has basically belonged to solving a problem one by one, even if some plans have been conceived, but they are not specific and detailed enough, and personal consideration is not comprehensive, I didn't expect someone to think of him in front.
In fact, the general work process is basically to determine a general direction or theme, then carefully plan the plan, and then solve the problem in the detailed and specific implementation process.
"The two of them are right, I still stay at the tactical level of opening the road and building bridges in the mountains and rivers in my thinking, and I always think about patching when there is a problem, but the patch can only be aimed at players, like Sun Shuai captured Gusa back before, I can punish Sun Shuai, empty his reputation, and let the summoned elves make adjustments to prevent similar malicious behaviors from happening. But in terms of this other world, whether it is business or construction, it is impossible for me to open a cheat and all kinds of resources become unlimited.
Magic crystals, weapons, tools, wood, masonry, daily necessities, and some other means of production, these things need to be planned for the long term, whether I am looking for the existing resources of the City of Despair, or let the players develop and manufacture them later, I must think long-term and form a sustainable cycle. โ
Meng Yang only instinctively felt that he needed to store the magic crystal in case of emergency, but the key points should be properly considered in the future. There are priorities, and the matter mentioned by Li Yuncheng is not urgent at the moment, but it is very important.
"I didn't expect that the energy problem is still relatively smooth, and some players have made such forward-looking suggestions to me."
Obviously, this player named Li Yuncheng has a slightly different idea from others, and he does not regard this world as a simple pastime game, but really substitutes it into it.
And from the tone of the other party's interaction with himself, considering the direction of the problem, he really thinks of himself as an adventurer from another world, not a player.
This is the charm of role-playing online games, but it is impossible for online games in the past to reach the level of substitution as it is now.
For Meng Yang, this different world is Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, he has traveled from an ordinary person to here, little by little, from randomly looking for players to "save his life" to now being able to do more here, for players, in fact, why not?
Virtual reality unfolds a second life for them.
"That's exactly what I need!"
Meng Yang was very touched by Li Yuncheng's performance. He wants to provide players with land where they can build houses as a reward later, in part hoping that players will increase their sense of belonging.
"Why did they come to me, though?"
Meng Yang also had some doubts in his heart, according to the normal routine, the players would have gone directly to do it if they had an idea, and they would not find him here at all.
Li Yuncheng looked at Meng Yang's silence, a trace of anxiety quietly passed over his face, and he spoke again: "So, the two of us came to you, Lord Chief, in the hope that we can get a little convenience from you, Lord Leader, well, that is so convenient that we can better explore the ore veins for you." โ
"A little convenience?"
Meng Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, and deliberately asked, "Do you want any reward?" What if you found out and gave you two potions? โ
"Uh......" Li Yuncheng paused slightly, and then continued after a pause, "Thank you Lord Leader for affirming us, my ...... I'm just hoping that the boss will give me a little bit of support, like I can recruit people to explore, or let us help you mine once you've found a vein. โ
After Li Yuncheng finished speaking, he stared at Meng Yang with burning eyes, as for the intelligence of NPCs, Li Yuncheng had already discovered from the first contact with the little girl Anqi that these NPCs were actually like living people.
The reason why he dared to say this was that he learned that Xu Zhe had received the task of expanding the camp from Meng Yang, which was more of a contracted project than a task. Since Xu Zhe can, then he can pull Zhuang Dafa, and he can try it.
"I know you're waiting for me here, and your heart is big enough."
After listening to Li Yuncheng's words, Meng Yang couldn't help but laugh in his heart, he could only fully understand Li Yuncheng's thoughts now.
What Li Yuncheng wants is to be famous as a teacher, and then get a certain benefit when he can really find the magic crystal vein.
For players, what benefits can be obtained from discovering a vein, which is probably to mine a little magic crystal first, or report to Meng Yang to get a little prestige reward, and nothing else.
For the player this is the game world, everything that the players find is everyone's, you find the magic crystal ore, you can mine it, but so can everyone else.
But it would be different if he could get authorization from Meng Yang, just like Xu Zhe now, this was a contracted task. As long as they were the first to find out, they got the initiative.
However, Meng Yang didn't care about Li Yuncheng's thoughts, and was even in an encouraging attitude.
"What about the title of a 'Desperate City Explorer'? You can recruit your own people to explore with you, and if you are able to discover the Veins of Crystals, I will give you priority mining rights. โ
