Chapter 135: The Turbulent Cloud Lan City
Under Ning Yi's persuasion, the 23 studios present, a total of 57 professional players, all expressed their willingness to sign cooperation agreements with Kabbalah and participate in this plan.
Behind them, there are more than 1,000 professional gamers in total, influencing tens of millions of die-hard fans, and even the entire gaming industry.
For Kabbalah, this means a vast market and huge profits.
For professional players with a certain degree of influence such as Nantian Lone Goose, the Dragon Blood Essence and the Agareth system can not only bring them back to the top, but also go further, and even help promote the product, they can also get a certain amount of monetary rewards.
This has greatly increased their enthusiasm for labor, and both sides can be said to take what they need, and both are happy.
"Happy working together!"
"Happy working together!"
Each of them has reaped the benefits that they are satisfied with, and the tone of cooperation has been set.
And Ning Yi was not busy in vain, although as a consultant, the share of product sales has nothing to do with him, but being able to get to know the twenty-three studios in front of him and know so many contacts is a more valuable resource than money.
After dealing with these things, Ning Yi landed in the phantom world.
It is now the third week since the start of the server, and there are more and more players who have reached level 10, and Yunlan City, which was originally able to accommodate 70,000 players, is already overcrowded.
From the emptiness at the beginning, to the current bustling and bustling, the influx of a large number of new players has injected new vitality into this city with an already strong business atmosphere.
But in addition to vitality, it has also brought turbulent undercurrents to the city.
The slum, Poor Dog Lane, was originally the property of the Golden Tooth Chamber of Commerce, and has now become a secret meeting place for the Rat Gang.
Ning Yi put on a cloak to cover her face and sneaked into here secretly.
"Tell me, what happened when you called me over in such a hurry?"
Ning Yi entered the headquarters of the Rat Gang unimpeded, and met Scareye in a bright and luxurious study.
With the support of Ning Yi's financial resources and weapons, the Rat Gang's strength has continued to expand recently, and the territory under their hands has also continued to expand, and they have swallowed up several gangs around them that were originally stronger than them.
Scareye became ambitious again and high-spirited, but in front of Ning Yi, he still humbly lowered his head: "Boss, something is wrong!" ”
Although the number of rat gangs is large, the combat power is not at all, and these NPCs lack opportunities and resources, and their development potential is not as good as that of players.
So in Ningyi's power system, they have always been dispensable marginal characters.
However, this does not mean that Ning Yi does not pay attention to their use, after all, these combat wastes are the local snakes of Yunlan City, and they are the most suitable for finding out the news.
"What happened?"
Ning Yi's indifferent gaze swept over Scar's body.
"Boss, I have received rumors that a group of adventurers have recently captured a certain territory on the outskirts of the Eternal Night Forest, and have also attacked the tax collectors sent out by the City Lord's Mansion."
Adventurers, in fact, are players, a group of beings who seem out of place with NPCs.
"Attacking the tax officer? Do they want to rebel? ”
Ning Yi had to sigh that the courage of this group of players was really fat.
You must know that the NPCs in the fantasy world are different from other virtual games, they have strong initiative, and if you understand it deeply, it will even be difficult for people to tell whether they are "dead" or "alive".
If I have to say it, it should be similar to a group of intelligent beings living in the low-dimensional world constructed by human beings.
They have their own culture, customs, and even emotional logic, and if they don't live in a virtual low-latitude world, the traits they show are almost the same as those of players.
Because of this, in other games, NPCs are almost rigid programs, and as long as players are familiar with the logical mechanics of their operation, they will immediately become the object of exploitation.
But in the illusory world, it's different!
Many NPCs, especially those nobles with extremely high social status, or powerful professionals, are all cunning and ghostly, tricking players into a game, and insidious tricks emerge one after another.
And His Excellency, the city lord of Yunlan City, a miser who regards money as his life, the tax officer he sent was actually beaten up?
This is simply a hornet's nest!
"It should be, I'm afraid I'm going to rebel too."
Scar-Eye is a rare example of justice for the player.
And under his explanation, Ning Yi also knew that the tax officials sent out by the city lord were not simply there to collect taxes.
Your Excellency, the greedy city lord, wants the entire mining area of the Ebony Territory!
Of course, the excuses found are also reasonable and legitimate.
Players want to obtain a territory, there are requirements for a title, for example, the lowest title is a third-class duke, which can be allowed to occupy a village.
Further up were the second-class and first-class dukes, and even the barons.
The total area of the Ebony Territory is roughly equivalent to three villages, or a small town, which means that players who occupy the area must at least have the title of baron, which is reasonable and legal.
But how is this possible?
The current rank of the player is basically a commoner, not to mention the baron, and there is still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the public priest!
The city lord used this as an excuse to attack the player and confiscate the illegal territory, which is really speechless, who made you an illegal operation?
But who are the players?
It's just an NPC, and you actually pick out the words to pick Lao Tzu's peaches, don't you want to fight!
Since there is nothing to say, then we won't say anything, everyone will show the carriage and horses, and we can do it directly.
The person who occupies the ebony territory is the outwitting of the world, this news Ning Yi has known for a long time, and as for the personality and character of outwitting the world, he knows it very clearly.
So this conflict is almost a sure thing.
"What are the plans of the people who dominate the country?"
"Hey, when that group of fools met in the restaurant to discuss, they said everything, and they planned to practice gathering more than seventy percent of the adventurer forces in the city and openly confronting the city lord."
Speaking of this, Scareye commented disdainfully, "Not only that, they even plan to overthrow the rule of the city lord and occupy Yunlan City. What a bunch of people who don't know what to live or die ......"
In the previous assassination incident, Scareye, a very discerning NPC, knew that his boss and the people who dominated the country did not deal with each other, so he used such a scolding tone to ridicule.
Nowadays, players are almost completely wary of NPCs, especially NPC civilians who hang out in taverns and teahouses.
How many players will think that those NPCs who help them pour tea and water, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, are actually spies sent by some people?
It is this fog of information that allows Ning Yi to grasp this absolute intelligence advantage against most of the players.
"Are they really planning to rebel?"
Ning Yi was startled at first, but then he groaned: "Although it is stupid to outwit the world, it is not so stupid as this. ”
Yunlan City is a county-level city, and the city lord himself is a nobleman who has been rewarded by the empire, and his title is viscount!
And he was not the kind of court nobleman who did not have a fief, theoretically, he owned the entire Yunlan City and all the land within a radius of one hundred and fifty square kilometers.
I don't know the profession yet, but the level is as high as 34, and it is still a lord-level creature, and its strength is definitely not lost to the **oss in the dungeon.
Such a real lord, not to mention whether the current players can unite to kill him, even if they can, who would dare?
Is it really the army of the Dongyu Empire that is dead?
"It seems that there is some information here that I don't know yet."
Ning Yi just had a turn of his mind and guessed that outwitting the world must be certain that he would be able to get rid of the responsibility of the empire, so he dared to make such a bold decision.
"Could it be the Mo family?"
Ning Yi recalled the previous incident, and Zhai Shou said fiercely to him at the beginning.
"Things are getting more and more interesting, should I step in too?"
Ning Yi is weighing the pros and cons.
Offending the lord of the castle is of course dangerous, and it is very dangerous.
However, Ning Yi knew that he had swallowed the Golden Tooth Chamber of Commerce, which was tantamount to cutting off the wealth of the City Lord's Mansion, and there was absolutely no room for relaxation between the two sides.
However, joining the crusade alliance initiated by Jiangshan Batu may not be the right choice, after all, there is still a gap between the immortal trail and these big guilds in terms of heritage, and joining cannot occupy the dominant power.
In this way, it is almost inevitable that they will be arranged to be cannon fodder during battle, and they will be driven to the corner of the table to eat scraps and be cold-roasted during harvesting.
Although Ning Yi is a sword cultivator, he has also read a lot of this kind of political struggle experience between mortals from books.
"What is the best choice for me?"
The slender and slender fingers gently tapped on the smooth tabletop, and Ning Yi, who was immersed in his thoughts, made Scar-Eye, who was standing on the side, dare not make any noise at all, for fear of disturbing his boss.
"There it is!"
Synthesizing the intelligence and information collected so far, the various possibilities that have been analyzed are as fast as a data stream in Ning Yi's mind.
And from this, Ning Yi quickly chose a few possibilities with the highest success rate and the most beneficial to himself.
What is Ningyi's biggest advantage at the moment?
There is no doubt that it is the Golden Tooth Chamber of Commerce!
Mox Goldtooth and the Greenland Spirit behind him are a powerful force that can be harnessed.
In addition to them, Ning Yi can also use Zhai Shou to detonate the conflict between the Mo family and the City Lord's Mansion.
No matter what the idea of outwitting these big guild players in the world is, in order to make the plan successful, they will inevitably need a huge amount of war materials.
And these things, the Mo family may be able to provide, but the support given is definitely very limited. After all, the city lord is not a stupid fork, how can he not be a little defenseless against this group of idealists like terrorists?
Only the Greenland Elves, a group of lunatics who make and sell arms for a living, have enough stock to deal with a war.
