"Why can't we find it, and the guy who sold it to Barrett can promise to get us the full claw blades." The cat boy who seems to be a little confused in his brain can't help but ask.

Faced with this milky question, Barre really couldn't figure out whether he was pretending to be stupid or really stupid. But no matter what, since it is a question from a teammate, it has to be answered after all: "You must know that 'Flick Anqiong' is a century-old shop that has been operating here since the beginning of the establishment of 'Ulrik'. After such a long period of accumulation, it is natural to form a network of its own relationships in the city. That's why he was able to connect with all kinds of hidden people who didn't appear in public. Anyway, you should have seen a lot of this situation in reality......"

The network of relationships in the human world, both in reality and in games. Human beings may say that intelligent beings are selfish, which makes it possible for those who are close to or know each other to have more opportunities when all else being equal. For example, the first pot of gold in Bill's gate success was due to his mother, who had an extraordinary network within the Blue Giant.

The former richest man in China, surnamed Li, also came from his uncle's support when he made his fortune in the first place. It is precisely because of these ready-made examples that a port will become the most nepotistic region in the world.

In the game, networking and using it to form a network of relationships is something that most Aboriginal people have been doing since they can remember. This kind of work is not spared from the rulers of the kingdom and down to the tattered bachelors in the slums.

It's just that those who are rulers have a unique advantage even in this kind of thing. Not only are they able to use the administrative organs, but more importantly, they are able to establish all kinds of legal organizations in their territories, both overt and covert. It can be said that every leader is like a spider. He kept weaving a big net while he was alive.

After being passed down from generation to generation. The dense network of layers enveloped the entire territory. Every aspect of that land can be touched. It can be said that as long as it is properly planned and operated, any wind and grass can cause a response from the network.

Most of the time, the poor can only choose to stay warm in groups, trying to see if they can survive in this way in a difficult environment. That's one of the biggest reasons why gangs in the lower city are constantly being banned – the pressure to survive and limited resources force them to make that choice.

Listening to Barrett's explanation, the cat boy immediately made an expression of sudden realization, but the cute and cute image of the cat boy even his owner couldn't stand it. She directly reached out and grabbed the cat's neck and picked it up: "Don't you dislike this kind of thing the most in reality?" How did you get into the game but got interested? And if you ask me about this kind of thing, can you use it like this? ”

Hearing Rieley's words, Barrett didn't know that she felt that the catboy's behavior was too embarrassing for herself: "Looks like Lalu is probably going to kneel on the washboard again tonight." Should I now observe a few minutes of silence for him? ’

But before he could sketch out the tragic picture of Lalu in his mind in another film, Rielly's voice arrived: "If it's the same as reality." If you say that, shouldn't we also manage our own network in the game? ”

"Haven't we been doing networking all the time?" Speaking of this, Barrett smiled, "You see that we are helping the Bolum family now, isn't it to strengthen our own connections. Clematis and Claudia went to the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce to attend the ceremony, and they were also maintaining their connections. Maybe in two days, Noodles will also need to serve His Highness the 'Dragon God of Good'. ”

"Is this completing the mission of the faction and strengthening its position in the faction?" Before Rielly could speak, Lalu was actually asking you a question.

Hearing this, Barrett could already imagine the tragic fate of someone offline. Not sure whether to answer the question or not, he turned his gaze to Rielly, the only thing he could do for the cat boy right now - though it wasn't clear if it would reduce the catboy's suffering.

Rielly struggled for a moment, and finally sighed: "Since he asked, Barrett, you can explain it well." ”

"First of all, you have to understand that there are many forms of networking. For example, childhood friends, good rivals who respect each other, comrades-in-arms, old colleagues, or family friends. These key people are not limited to a particular social class or industry. Contacting a small network may only provide us players with minimal help. Others may have more important resources at their disposal......" Barrett began to talk about his views on the in-game network.

In some cases, the help that these connections can bring to the builder may even change the course of an individual's career. In terms of networking itself, of course. Changes in his industry, declining or rising social status, and other personal events can alter his ability to help.

Often, the most basic connections can only be used to uncover local rumors, tell the player where to get a good meal, or tell the player about the basics and some gossip in the city. As players earn the trust of these connections, they are able to take higher personal risks to help players with some activities. For example, helping players track down enemies, bailing out characters who are inconvenient for them to come to jail, or lending magic items to players.

In this case, how to network, and what kind of people to network, needs to be well planned. After all, the ability to network can help players and even change the course of an entire adventure. In fact, for players, the family they came from, the religion they believed in at the beginning, and the organization they were in at the beginning are often the best choices for them.

Because they tend to have a good initial relationship with the force they are in. Even if it's like Claudia. Auditore's relationship with his family was so bad that he couldn't do it. But she was still a member of the Auditore family, and many times the family would still stand behind her. No, when he was in Repulse City, this player wouldn't have had such a good time. And for example, the relationship between Barrett and the Bolum family can be called the biggest reliance on his unexpected smooth journey.

The halfling wanderer who heard this couldn't help but speak: "That's right! I chose to leave the thieves' guild where I was born. But because of this, I suffered a lot of losses. But I was lucky before. Successfully joined the current organization. ”

"You can join the Church of the Dragon God of Good. It's not just luck. It's because you've shown value that deserves their attention. Speaking of this, Barrett paused, "Changes in our own industry, social status decline or promotion, and other personal events can change other people's attitudes towards us." So for now, we just need to run our own base well, and once our reputation spreads across the continent, it will be much easier to build up additional contacts. ”

"You can manage your current network well, but Lalu and I don't know which side to join!" Rielly suddenly couldn't help but complain. Apparently she was very unhappy with her current situation.

Barrett was also a little anxious, but he knew that something was in a hurry: "Rieli, we're looking for it next." However, Lalu's words are to let him join the Boreham family's camp as a peripheral person for the time being. After all, with my help, it will be much easier to get started. Of course, even if the initial relationship is established. However, the actual utility of networking will be affected by two factors. So I'm afraid we're going to have to work together then......"

Affect the effect of networking. The first is the level of trust between the player and a particular Aboriginal person, as well as the risks that arise from participating in what is being requested. This makes the balance between inputs and outputs a fairly precise consideration. Mutually beneficial connections can be operated for a long time! If you only get and don't give, there is nothing so easy in the world. ’

In short, a native who doesn't fully trust the player won't be able to risk losing his head to help the player, but he may still help the player by doing some basic risk-free tasks to gain the player's trust.

"But if Lalu officially joins the camp of the Boreham family, then I'm afraid he won't be able to join other organizations in this mission!" The Rielly people were still a little undecided.

Barrett shrugged his shoulders and replied, "The world is fair, and there are gains and losses, isn't it?" ”

In fact, from another point of view, players can use their connections to help them with specialized tasks without having to be involved in them. But there are gains and losses. Connections can sometimes cause players to be restricted by it. It's also time to remedy the trouble he's caused, or at least compensate for the overhead he incurs while working for the benefit of the player.

Among them, the connections of the perpetrators are particularly concerned about this. They will always ask for a price or ask for something in return for the services they provide. Temples or guild connections may want players to solicit donations from the temple or pay dues.

In normal times, the cost of maintaining those connections is inevitable. Connections that need to be done anonymously may require additional funds for bribes, or the use of a hidden location may be purchased privately. Similarly, no one should expect a caster's connections to pay for expensive materials at their own expense when helping them cast spells.

It's like a member of the Boreham family who needs to complete tasks for the family on a regular basis. The members of the Thieves' Guild also have their share of the money they need to pay each day. And the fat man Wang of 'Fu Li Anqiong', in order to maintain the relationship between himself and the craftsman, I am afraid that every month is also a lot of expenses.

"If you don't have any options after level 7, Lalu will join the Boreham family!" It was as if Rieli had made a compromise.

Barrett, who saw the other party's performance, was like a deflated ball at the moment: "Rieli, you don't need to say that, do you!" It's like I'm forcing you to make a decision. ”

At this time, no one hid the conversation from the two eldest ladies who were not present. When they understood Rieli's struggles, they immediately agreed that the cat boy would become a peripheral member of the Boreham family - for the same reason that Barrett had said, that the road would have gone more smoothly with his help.

However, the quiet days did not last long, just as Lalu reluctantly added Hidden Arrow to the rhythm of his battle. Here, the Malkin family's letters were put back on Barrett's desk. However, this time the Markin's family, as the organizer, sent a special carriage.

With the sound of horses' hooves, players begin to drift away from the thriving city. After the carriage drove out of the city gate and into the country lane, everyone knew that this time the meeting place should be some manor belonging to the Malkin family outside the city - even if they were fiefdom nobles, as long as they also had a central position in the kingdom, they could also have a manor near the capital as their temporary base.

It wasn't until the players entered the manor that they realized that it was more luxurious than the ones the players had seen before. As you walk through the garden, you can see an artificial pond for ornamental fish in the distance, and several fig and cherry trees are growing vigorously. Although it was a hot summer day, it was still very cool all around, but I don't know what structure was used.

Barrett was guided by servants along the way, and finally he came to a small two-story building in the middle of the courtyard. According to the leading servant, this is the destination of the Malkin's envoy who invited the player this time. Once inside, players will be greeted by rows of bookcases and a long table for copying. An old man with half-white hair was carving something on a resin plate with a crochet pen. When he saw someone coming in, he put down his pen and tablet and stood up. "Oh! You are the participants sent by the Bolim family this time! I've heard about you from Gast. I don't know if it's good or bad for you, but I didn't expect that the first part of this game will be your turn. ”

"Dear Elder, could you tell us what we should do in that game next?" As he bent down to salute, Barrett also asked aloud.

"Dear Elder, could you tell us what we should do in that game next?" As he bent down to salute, Barrett also asked aloud.

The old man in front of him touched his desk: "It's up to you, young people, to make your own choices." ”

"Our own choice? Do we have any choice in this mission? Barrett asked, somewhat incredulously. (To be continued......)
