Chapter 12: The Legendary ...... Touching porcelain?
The fact that a player was able to train the level to level 10 on the morning of the third day of the game's open beta and came to the main city of the power was definitely beyond her expectations for Rococo.
After all, according to the information records left by Mira in the NPC system about the progress of the game in the previous life, the players who settled in the main city in the previous life "Redemption" first appeared on the side of the Free Federation near noon on the fourth day after the open beta, and the leading echelon players on the level list settled in the main city of the power in large numbers on the afternoon of the fourth day.
Although due to the uncertainty of the law of time cause and effect, it is inevitable that there will be some deviations in the details of the game process between "Redemption" in this life and "Redemption" in the previous life, but the deviation of the key point of time like this is directly a whole day earlier or something, not only Rococo, but even Mira outside the game was really surprised when she noticed that there was a player named Muyun who came to Radiant King City at this point in time.
Not only because of the surprise that the game process was so far from the previous life, but also because of such a change, which suddenly made Rococo's original plan of action have a huge loophole.
The Holy Sect, although it is called a country in the original Eumelasia continental plane, but in fact, the land area and the glorious empire that occupies more than seventy or eighty percent of the territory of the eastern continent and the southern continent are not comparable to the Free Federation at all, and the so-called religious state is actually just a very small neutral country centered on the holy city of Arya Val at the junction of the two great powers, and the land area only includes a few small villages and towns around it.
And the Holy Sect itself is indeed not like some sect organizations in otherworldly novels, which obviously talk about serving the gods, but in fact they are also very keen on the interests of the world, and even practice what so-called ****. The Holy Church on the continent of Emissia has no strategic significance in its remote terrain, and in terms of national strength, except for some strong people with superior personal strength in the upper echelons of the Sect, and the Holy Knights who are undoubtedly elite but only responsible for guarding the Holy City and almost never leave the Church, there is no national armed force such as raising ordinary armies at all. The cult nation on the continent of Emissia is indeed a religious organization that simply believes in the goddess of creation Arya and takes it as its mission to spread the goddess's grace to expel chaos and evil, and there is no threat to the two giants of the empire and the federation at all, not to mention that both sides are willing to maintain good relations with the holy cult, because the clergy of the goddess of creation belief (that is, the two major professions of the priest and the priest among the ten major professions of the players) are the most powerful recovery professions on the continent.
In today's gamified world, due to the unique religious status of the Holy Church on the continent, although its territorial power is too small to accommodate as many players as the initial force of the Empire and the Federation, it is still a very important place for players to go in the future game progression. After all, the original main game of "Redemption" was to expel the evil chaos on the continent of Eushya and save the sleeping goddess of creation, which is almost the ultimate doctrinal goal of the Cult of Creation.
It's just that in Mira's original main game line, the appearance of the Holy Church in the course of the game, not to mention after the player group level generally reaches level 50, and the career can be advanced to become stronger, enough to face the real chaos creatures, the Church will appear in the main story as the leader of order, calling on high-end players to start a targeted crusade against chaos all over the continent, and finally launch a counteroffensive against the northern continent completely occupied by Chaos.
Until then, in order to ensure that the untriggered plot on the side of the Church will not be disturbed by too much uncertainty that the player has, Mira has left a detailed setting of the game: after the players reach level 10 and come to their respective power main cities, the transnational teleportation array originally established between the two main cities and the holy city of Arya Val will be automatically closed, and will not be opened again until the player level is close to level 50 or there is a huge special change in the plot.
This morning, after a comfortable night's sleep in a hotel in the royal city, Rococo, who got up early in the morning and rushed to the adventurer's union again to do the task, had already saved up enough 4 gold and 57 silver coins, and had just received a commission with a reward of 5 silver coins to run the mission. But at this moment, Alia, who was accompanying her as a system elf, suddenly changed her face, and told her in a panic that according to the real-time notification given by the NPC system about the major progress of the game, there were already players coming to Radiant King City.
Although it is unknown how the player who reached level 10 a full day earlier than the previous life did it, it undoubtedly means that with the first player coming to the Royal City, the transnational teleportation array to the Church will soon be closed.
Of course, the so-called "soon" also has a certain amount of moisture. After all, this is not really a game world that was programmed but changed from the real other world, so the teleportation array was not cut off all at once, but the teleportation array manager would start to clean up and close the exotic teleportation array after the first player arrived in the royal city. There was about 10 minutes between the time the exotic teleportation circle was shut down and when it ceased to function completely.
This is something that players, even Mu Yun, a reborn person, can't know, after all, the exotic teleportation circle starts to stop working as soon as the first player to teleport to the main city appears, and the first player to be teleported to the main city has the first reaction to be busy exploring the map and main functional buildings of the main city, how can they notice the subtle changes on the side of the exotic teleportation array. Besides, even if they knew, it was useless, the plot of the sect and the surrounding wild monster area were all in line with the strength of players above level 50, and level 10 players passed with a sense of luck, and there would be no unique adventure they thought they could get and could only die empty-handed.
However, these 10 minutes were the last straw for Rococo. If the exotic teleportation circle is closed like this, she has no means to go to the Holy Sect in such a short period of time, and even if she wants to directly give up the creation godhead of the Sect as a player to participate in the game plot caused by the plague mage Bekaz in the Free Federation, because she is in the sphere of influence of the Radiant Empire, when she switches from NPC mode to player mode for the first time, the system will automatically count her as a player of the Imperial Force, At this stage, the relationship between the Empire and the Federation can trigger the delicate hostility of war at any time, and it is impossible for players to safely go to the territory of another power and swagger to participate in the game story that takes place in the hostile forces.
In order to have a chance to prevent the NPC Beccaz with the Creation Godhead from starting a war between the Empire and the Federation early in the game, causing the main story of the game to deviate, Rococo must at least leave the Radiant Empire's sphere of influence through the Exotic Teleportation Array. Rococo, who knew this very well in his heart, was only stunned for a moment after knowing from Alya that a player had come to the Radiant King City, and then he couldn't think about why the player came to the main city so much earlier in this life, and immediately rushed towards the exotic teleportation array.
Fortunately, in order to do the task at this time, Rococo was on the street not far from the teleportation array, and it only took about 3 minutes to run to the teleportation array at full speed. It's just that the teleportation cost is 5 gold coins, and she still has 3 silver coins short...... Gotta hurry up and figure out a way-
Boom! Poof!
"Hmm—it hurts......"
Rococo didn't pay attention to the way because she just wanted to get to the waypoint quickly, and at the corner to the waypoint, she collided with the oncoming player Muyun.
Because only the physical fitness that is completely consistent with the lv1 village girl, Rococo was knocked to the ground by Mu Yun, who was also rushing, and the fall was not too light, even if she was not very happy and angry, she couldn't help but subconsciously mumble "pain".
But soon she came to her senses, and now was not the time for her to be squeamish. Rococo hurriedly wanted to get up, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Mu Yun standing in front of her and was a little confused.
When she saw Mu Yun's snitch equipment, Rococo immediately recognized the difference between the people in front of her and ordinary NPCs, and almost in the next second, the system elf Arya immediately proved her guess.
"Xiao Ke, this is a player!"
A trace of anger suddenly flashed in Rococo's eyes when he looked at Mu Yun, it seems that this guy should be the culprit who promoted to level 10 at an abnormal speed and then teleported to Wang Cheng, causing her to plan the whole mess now?
On the other side, Mu Yun, who saw that he had bumped into a village girl NPC, was just wondering if this would be able to trigger a mission he had never heard of in his previous life, so he wanted to reach out and pull Luo Coco up to show his goodwill, but found that the village girl in front of him was glaring at him viciously.
Belch...... Did he hit it that hard?
At the same time that Mu Yun was stunned, Luo Coco also realized that he had lost a lot of time here, and he didn't care about making a visual crusade against Mu Yun, and used a posture that was very inconsistent with the image of a weak girl, not elegant at all but clean enough to get up from the ground, and then turned sideways and threw Mu Yun down and ran in the direction of the teleportation array.
However, before he could run a few steps, Rococo was stopped by Mu Yun again, as a snitch with agility as one of the selling points of his profession, Mu Yun easily caught up with Rococo.
"Excuse me, is there anything you can help with?"
Although Rococo was obviously an NPC at the beginning, both the agility of his expression and the series of reactions after being bumped into were too humane, so Rao is Muyun didn't react a little, but as a reborn, Muyun quickly made a judgment that he thought was correct based on his game experience in his previous life:
In "Redemption", the more humanized the characters and the higher the intelligence of the NPCs, the rarer the hidden story missions often contain on them, and the greater the benefits that players can get from these NPCs!
Because of this, seeing that Rococo ran away without saying a word, Mu Yun immediately stopped her, as a reborn who was destined to get ahead in this life, he couldn't let himself miss such a suspected important game story mission.
And Rococo, who was stopped by Mu Yun, was really going crazy, she was in a hurry now, but this guy who caused her so flustered didn't want to entangle her for a long time. Running and running, and can't hide, this guy obviously mistakenly thinks that what happened just now may be a precursor to some mission, and it seems that he wants to break the casserole with her here and ask the end - but the problem is that she is really not in the mood to mess with him here!
Rococo glared at Mu Yun hard, but Mu Yun could not have thought that the NPC in front of him would be a "smart NPC" in the true sense of the word with his own will, seeing that Rococo was still fierce, Mu Yun thought that he might not have mastered the correct task trigger posture, and then spoke again.
"I'm sorry, this girl, I accidentally bumped into you just now, I'm really sorry, as an apology, I don't know what I can do for you?"
Mud loves to play Kaispic!!
Feeling that it was too late, the crazy Rococo ghost replied like a god.
"Can you pay me 5 silver coins?"
………………
………………
2 minutes later, Mu Yun looked at the cute village girl NPC in front of him and took away the 5 silver coins that were not much in the early stage, but definitely a lot, from his hands, and then ran to the teleportation point without even leaving a word, and after a flash of white light, the figure disappeared immediately, and I don't know where to teleport.
Looking at the prompt in his system status bar, Mu Yun only felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
[System: Congratulations on completing the quest "Apologize for Hitting People", and you have gained the favor of the village lady Rococo. 】
……… Could it be that he was actually touched by the NPC in the game just now?
