Chapter 51: Hot Topics
In Lancarros, the main city of the Free Federation, there have been two hot topics recently.
The first topic is about several of the top player guilds in the Federation forces, led by the Dark Realm Guild. It is said that a few days ago, the Dark Domain Guild took the lead in discovering an ownerless purple gold treasure chest in a deserted level 15 wild area map outside the city, although the Dark Domain Guild immediately blocked the news and organized people to take down this treasure chest, but after the guild was big, the spies couldn't prevent it at all, and soon the news was learned by other big guilds, and then all the guilds with enough strength immediately pulled up their manpower and went to grab the box with the Dark Domain Guild.
As you can imagine, several big guilds fought in the dark on that map, originally just to compete for the ownership of the first purple gold treasure chest in the game, but soon everyone was angry, and this battle was turned into a guild competition to decide who is the first guild of the federation at this stage. In the end, the Dark Domain Guild finally repelled the major guilds with its strength, and then successfully opened this precious purple gold chest, and then a rainbow of light flashed, and an artifact fell from the sky - the original script should have been like this.
It's a pity that this treasure chest, which the major guilds have been fighting for for two whole days, turned out to be a trap, and after the box was opened, what appeared in front of the tired and happy members of the Dark Realm Guild was not an artifact, a quasi-artifact, a purple gold artifact...... Rather, it is a level 20 elite boss with full health.
When the same scene happened in the previous life, the average level of the members of the Dark Domain Guild was already level 14, and the core members like the leader Dark Maniac and the black fire who had entangled Rococo before were all level 15 or 16, so although they were exhausted after the battle, they were finally able to kill the boss by relying on the number of people and the evil breath that they held back after being deceived. However, this time, just because they provoked Rococo, they were cheated when the average level in the guild was only level 12, and the masters in the guild even reached level 15...... The final result can be imagined, in the previous guild war, the Dark Domain Guild, which killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 enemies, did not even succeed in this boss this time, but directly the entire guild was beaten away by the boss, and the result was not only a heavy loss, but the story of the Dark Domain Guild and the "Purple Gold Treasure Chest" falling in love and killing each other has become the laughing stock of the entire "Redemption" since then.
Another hot topic is to start with the players of the Free Federation who have reached level 10 and entered the main city of Lancarros in large numbers. In the next few days after the players settled in the main city, a few players posted on the forum sporadically, saying that they had been deceived by the NPCs, and that the NPCs had issued them a task, but either the mission goal did not exist at all, or the information given by the mission was completely wrong, and when they came back to settle accounts with the NPCs who assigned them this kind of cheating task, all the NPCs were unanimous, saying that they didn't know about the mission at all and had not posted this kind of task.
At first, everyone took this as a joke, after all, this thing is too strange, no matter how smart the NPC is, it is also an NPC managed by the game system, how can there be a task to supervise the system mastermind? Either these people are grandstanding, or these people happen to have any conditions in the task that are not triggered or directly do not care about a certain task element halfway, resulting in the next task cannot be triggered, in short, since the task is indeed seen in the system taskbar, then the NPC that released the task will not be able to recognize this task, which is the common sense of the gamer.
However, as time went on, more and more similar posts began to be liked on the Internet, and everyone realized that there were really a lot of players who claimed to have been dropped by NPCs, and the incident was completely pushed to a higher level. tide,It's a breaking news post about the Dark Domain Guild.。 The Dark Domain Guild suffered the same NPC fraud, and it was the worst kind - the NPC that assigned the task used the purple gold weapon as bait, so that the elite group of the Dark Domain Guild, including the Dark Domain President, did the five-ring difficult tasks one after another, and then when it came to the process of getting paid, it was like a different person, not to mention not admitting it, and even the task itself couldn't be triggered on that NPC.
Speaking of which, the Dark Domain Guild is really unlucky, and the mess that was beaten away by the big boss who appeared in the purple gold treasure chest after just defeating other guilds in the melee and being crowned the first of the Federation has not been suppressed, and now it has been shaken out of such a file, although this matter has almost no real impact on the strength of the guild compared to the previous purple gold treasure chest war, but it is a joke in vain.
However, the Dark Domain is also an old guild in the end, although there is really no justification for the matter of the purple gold treasure chest before, but this time it is different, not long after the revelation became popular, the Dark Domain Guild immediately released the official statement of the guild, saying that they admitted that they had indeed encountered NPC fraud, and would file a complaint with the official "Redemption" on behalf of all the defrauded players during this time to protect the personal rights and interests of players. The Dark Domain Guild's move suddenly reversed the trend of public opinion and attracted the applause of many players.
But the complaint is a complaint, but soon the game official gave a reply, this is not a system bug in the game, and the NPCs are by no means disacknowledging the tasks they posted, but they really did not find the right NPCs who released the tasks.
The official answer of "Redemption" is very interesting, not that the NPC does not recognize the mission, but that it does not find the NPC that issued the task...... At first glance, this is a joke, after all, players are not blind or stupid, how can they still make a mistake with the NPC that released the mission?
But soon, some players were vaguely aware of the mystery, and almost at the same time, a "grapevine" also spread from the Lancarus City Lord's Mansion: in the territory of Lancarros City County, in recent years, there has been a super thief who is proficient in disguise Ginzes, he once used disguise to become the president of the Freedom Council, and then stole hundreds of millions of magic gems from the largest gem exhibition in Lancarros, but recently Kinzes has disappeared inexplicably, This was followed by a series of NPC scams.
Obviously, this so-called "grapevine" is almost to say that the super thief Jinzes is the culprit of a series of incidents, because of this, the firepower of many players suddenly shifted from the game official to the body of the big thief Jinzes, and at the same time, many smart players and major guilds also acted immediately in secret, after all, since the big thief Jinzes is also a game NPC, it means that he needs to abide by the rules of NPCs - the task reward must be his own.
Since Quinzes can use more than one purple gold equipment as a bait to release a mission, then on the other hand, this NPC has more than one purple gold equipment, if it can help the NPCs of the Lancarlos City Garrison catch this liar thief......

Ordinary players made Lancarus full of turmoil because of the Purple Gold Treasure Chest incident and the Great Thief Jinzes incident, but for Rococo and Chu Jiajia, it was just for them to go out every day to look at the scenery, farm monsters, level up and find treasure chests, and after looking at the scenery by the way, when they returned to the main city, they felt that the main city seemed to be a little more lively than before.
Well? What the? Said "see the scenery" twice? Ahaha, don't care about those details~ Who let someone can't stand up to the coquettishness of his teammates, every time he says something like "this is the last time", but the next time I see the other party's cute smiling face, I immediately soften my heart or something......
But but, however, but! Luo Coco thinks that this doesn't mean that she is spoiling Chu Jiajia, well, it's just that the other party is working so hard to accept her guidance and practice game skills and upgrade with herself by the way, so she gave her a reward, that's right, it's a reward, in fact, before Chu Jiajia was coquettish, she had already thought about doing this in order to ensure the combination of work and rest, but it wasn't because the other party was cute at her that she changed her words...... Feed! That goddess of creation over there, what kind of expression do you have! Don't you believe it?
Arya Dead Fisheye: ...... Dead tsundere is hopeless...... Having said that, it's clear that I'm now integrated with the system, and there is no entity at all, but how can I see my "expression"...... Tsundere's intuition......
In any case, after returning from Hakata Town, Rococo and Chu Jiajia's leveling life around Lancarlos City for a few days can be described as quite peaceful, of course, this "calm" is only relative to other players, in fact, in terms of the leveling adventures of the two, it is definitely not calm, but it should be said to be quite exciting.
That's right, with the water elemental creatures as the front row, the simplest team system has almost been built, and Rococo will naturally no longer be satisfied with just taking Chu Jiajia to brush some ordinary wild monsters. Although a cure was still missing, their two-for-one team of minimons was enough for Rococo to use to fight the elite monsters and mini-bosses that roamed the wild.
So in just a few days, the two of them killed a lot of elite monsters wandering in the wild under the leadership of Rococo, and the small bosses in the wild were also pushed off a lot, and even a few of them were treasure chest keepers, and the silver and gold treasure chests they guarded, as long as they were unlocked, were also looted by the Rococo two. There are even some Rococo, they are really bosses that the two of them can't beat, and they can easily steal the treasure chest guarded by the boss by using the previous method of dealing with the fishman guard Pachira.
If the wild monsters can be on the forum, it is estimated that the fame of the wild thief Rococo should not be lost to the crook thief Jinzes......
With elite monsters and even bosses as the main hunting targets every day, and hunting treasure chests everywhere by the way, the harvest of the Rococo duo is naturally incomparable to other players. Within a few days of returning from Hakata Town, Rococo had risen to level 15 at an astonishing speed, and Chu Jiajia had also risen to level 14.
In terms of equipment, even if it is not specially collected this time, Rococo has already made up enough stage replacement equipment for level 15, and because of this, Rococo also saved a little spare money to smash on the strengthened longbow, a +7 level 10 golden longbow, enough for her to use until level 20. In addition to the equipment, she also harvested a very good special accessory from a golden treasure chest, the gold-quality [Feiyan Ring], with the exclusive skill [Feiyan Blessing], the skill effect is equivalent to the degraded version of the level 25 skill [Light Body Method] of the swordsman profession, which can accelerate for a short time and obtain the double jump skill at the same time, enhancing the ability to jump and float.
At the moment, none of the masters on the level list have reached level 17 but are still a little close, that is to say, Rococo, who has reached level 15 and has enough equipment at the same time, can finally properly rank among the top parts of the pyramid of players in the game with her game skills.
Because of this, Rococo can finally start thinking about it and start investigating the matter about the plague mage Bekaz.
