Chapter Forty-Eight: Choices for the Future

Generally speaking, 1 Church Contribution Point is equivalent to 1 gold among the Natives. However, for most players, it is much more difficult to get 1 Church Contribution than to get 1 gold coin. Coupled with those who have the ability to obtain, they are more or less first-tier characters among players, and they will never want to sell them if they have to. Therefore, there is no unified standard for the specific price among players.

However, in terms of gold coins, the official exchange standard is 1 gold coin for 1 credit. Although at the beginning, there were many local tyrants who used large-scale acquisitions at a price of 3 credits and one gold coin to gain a first-mover advantage. However, as the player's level increases, the difficulty of obtaining gold decreases, and it has now stabilized at around 2 gold.

In this case, 3.5 credits for 1 church contribution point can't be said to be a high price - but considering that this is a contribution from the Church of the 'Lord of Justice', it is of little use to most players, so this price is naturally not low. After all, there are not many players who have actually joined the forces today, and these forces may not be able to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with the Church of the 'Lord of Justice'.

You can't expect some criminal gangs in the eyes of the Church of the Lord of Justice to buy the prestige of the Church of the Lord of Justice! That's why those organizations that are open to buying up the contributions of the Church of the Lord of Justice are not afraid of the organization embezzling the fruits of their labor. Because to carry out this kind of behavior itself, it is already a performance that has been screened.

The 14,000 credit contract is no longer as exciting as it was at the beginning for the three goldsmiths who have already seen the big world. And for Clematis, it's just pocket money. After queuing up before entering the city, the two sides signed a contract. Then the four badges representing the contribution of the Church of the 'Lord of Justice' fell into the hands of Clematis. Immediately after that, several men's accounts each had an extra income.

As the most familiar city for players in the Western Continent, everyone who entered Poitu has found a foothold in a familiar way. Later, the players who spilled a lot of gold coins enjoyed five-star service. In this regard, not to mention the few eldest ladies in the team, even the bitter haha like noodles and anvils have long been accustomed to this kind of consumption in the game - it can only be said that it is a very terrible thing to get used to nature.

Barrett, who was lying on the bed after a full meal, empty his brain and waiting to go offline. As the will plunged back into darkness, in the blink of an eyelid, I felt a hazy light. Habitually clicking the button on the left-hand side, as the transparent hatch in front of him was opened, Su Chen turned over and moved his muscles and bones, and then began his daily training.

When he was done with his workout, he went into the bath room while adjusting the ventilation system in the room. Under the baptism of the vibrating water from all directions, he began to think about his next path: "If my estimate is correct, there is an 80% chance that I can pass the 6th level assessment next month." However, in that case, I am afraid that the time to enter the game will have to be reduced in the future. And although the reward of upgrading from level 5 to level 6 is very large, it is much worse than the gain in the game, which is really tangled......"

It has been mentioned before that Level 8 workers are involved in the research and development of new products and equipment. Level 7 crafts special parts that cannot be machine-made. Level 6 workers are the personnel who work for level 7 workers. Level 4 and Level 5 workers are reservists, ready to fill vacancies in robots in the event of an accident.

In other words, once he crossed the standard of level 5 to level 6 workers, Su Chen immediately turned from a social rice worm who was waiting for death to a high-end industrial worker who was self-reliant and contributed to society. It's not just about earnings that's going to change, it's also about social status, credit ratings, and so on. This will make it easier to apply for admission to a higher-class residential area. And it is a very important plus point for finding the other half in reality in the future.

If it had been in the past, when he felt that he had the ability to pass the Level 6 engineering exam, Su Chen might have submitted an application immediately without saying a word. But now he is a little hesitant, because in terms of income alone, the game "Diarra Continent" can obviously make more money, and there is a lot more. Unfortunately, there is no hope of elevating the social status from this.

If the examination work is to join a system, then making money in the game is like being self-employed, and it is also a self-employed person in the early stage of reform and opening up. Su Chen, who touched his chin, pondered in his heart again: "The professional title examination is a steady and steady way to be promoted. And what you get from the game is likely to be a quick buck. However, at present, after being promoted to level 6, I have very little hope of becoming a level 7 worker again. So there's no need to rush it. On the contrary, it is an opportunity to make quick money in the game, I don't know how many more ......"

The reason why Su Chen was able to get such a high return in the game "Diarra Continent". It was also his familiarity with the game and the legacy of the bloodline inherited during the beta. But over time, this first-mover advantage will become weaker and weaker.

After everyone is on a starting line, Su Chen will definitely not be able to earn high returns like now. And once he becomes a level 6 worker, the work that follows will inevitably make Su Chen invest less time in the game "Diarra Continent" - the time to be caught up by other players will also be greatly advanced.

"It's rare to have the opportunity to make quick money, so naturally take advantage of this opportunity to make a good profit. As long as you ensure that your technical level is not affected at all times, then the evaluation of level 6 workers can be tested at any time. Wait until the in-game revenue decreases, and then it should be too late to change routes. Su Chen, who nodded, finally made the final decision. Grasp what you can grasp in front of you first, and weigh the pros and cons when the rest comes.

After recognizing the way forward, Su Chen quickly re-entered the game, just as he believed - to earn as much capital as possible for himself while he was still dominant. After the advantages become smaller or even disappear, rely on such primitive accumulation to make it easier for you to walk on the 'right path'.

Barrett woke up in the middle of the game, and when he got up, he did a series of cleaning up before taking out his formal wear that he didn't have much chance to use during his adventure. Dressed up, he stopped a commercial carriage outside the tavern and headed for the town hall in the middle of Poitou.

After getting off at the stop, Barrett walks through the central square and stops in front of the small building at the City Hall. The four guards who were standing guard outside the gate of the city hall immediately sent one person to inquire.

The guard, who was looking ahead with his head held high, asked angrily, "Is there anything about this gentleman's coming to the city hall?" ”

"I'm here to apply for an audience with the Earl. I don't know if I can make an appointment now, but when will it be my turn. After handing the badge of his identity to the dutiful guard, Barrett stood there waiting for his routine.

After flipping his palm and examining the badge, a smile appeared on the guard's face: "Sir turned out to be his own!" When does it enter the official sequence? In that case, I'm going to change my name and call you an adult. ”

"Then it all depends on what the Earl thinks. I'm just a brick in Boreham, and I can move it wherever I need to. Regarding the friendly ridicule of the guard in front of him, Barrett naturally teased himself as well.

After the initial confirmation, the other party returned the badge: "Then please sir, wait a minute, but I will apply to see when I can arrange it for you." ”

As the guard stepped through the door of the town hall, Barrett felt that the slightly piercing gaze that had been looming from the top of the city hall suddenly disappeared without a traceβ€”it was supposed to be a secret guard hidden around the town hall. They are an important part of the security work of the town hall, otherwise the four guards at the gate alone would have been too difficult to deal with emergencies.

In fact, as the soldier walked up to Barrett, he noticed at least three heavy crossbows aimed at him. If it weren't Barrett who had just arrived, but a dangerous element who suddenly attacked, what would have awaited them would be an all-round three-dimensional attack.

And as the vigilant surveillance disappeared, it didn't take long for a wave of scrutinizing glances to emerge. Such a change was something Barrett had not felt in the past - except that the Pollham Collar had to raise the security level because of the growing tensions. What's more important is Barrett's strength, which has been greatly improved compared to the last time he was here. This is the material basis for perceiving those well-concealed secret guards.

After a while, the guard who had just gone to the messenger came to Barrett again: "The Earl has sent a message that you can go to the castle's study after 7 o'clock tonight to find him." He set aside about an hour for you. ”

"Please wait and report to the Earl, and I will take advantage of the opportunity he has given me." With that, Barrett patted the guard on the arm in a friendly way, "Thank you very much!" The next time you have a chance, let's practice two. ”

After getting the reply he wanted, Barrett was no longer in the way of the flowerbeds in this square. He walked back to the bus stop and greeted a carriage, and hurried back to the hotel to wait for the news that the noodles could bring back.

As a member of the Church of the Dragon God of Good, this is the first time that Noodle has returned to the base to report after failing the mission. Also because of the failure, he may have to face questions from people in the church this time. Although according to common sense, the failure of this operation is not to blame on noodles. However, if it is not handled properly, it may leave a bad impression on the minds of the middle and senior members of the church who are in charge of the review. Although this impression does not immediately hinder the situation of noodles, it may still have a negative impact on future development.

It's a pity that just like how to deal with the relationship with the Earl of Boreham, in this kind of matter can only be the responsibility of the person concerned, and outsiders can't interfere at all. Barrett, who had done his job, could only wait in the hotel for the halfling wanderer to bring back specific news - but he had always been steady. He didn't show the slightest worry in his heart. Don't let the other players around you misunderstand something.

Barrett, who sat against the wall, waited for about an hour, and then returned to the noodles with a calm appearance. Even Barrett struggled to detect any noticeable mood swings in him. Barrett was relieved to see his companion like this: "It's not the best situation, but it's not the worst either." ’

Claudia, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately asked, "How did your church characterize the last mission?" And after the mission fails, do you have any plans for you? ”

"The last mission was determined to be an accident caused by an intelligence error. Not only are participants like us not responsible, but they are also paid a tenth of the compensation for the initial investment after the predetermined success. The halfling wanderer nodded in satisfaction.

Hearing this, Barrett immediately touched his scumbag and said: "You are worthy of being a well-known generous person in the good camp, so it seems that you yourself should not lose money on noodles." ”

"It's just a pity for those comrades who died in the process of fleeing. They're also very good intelligence workers. It's a pity that they didn't have enough luck and were not willing to come to save their comrades. Thinking of the aborigines with whom he had previously carried out a mission, Noodle's mood immediately became depressed.

Barrett, who was pondering the two sentences, suddenly asked, "That is to say, there is a big flaw in your church's intelligence work. So this time, on the part of the church, did not rectify its own intelligence department? ”

"Even if there is, it's not something I can get into at the moment!" The halfling wanderer who heard Barrett's words immediately retorted.

"Alright! Anyway, the outcome of this is none of our business. Barrett changed the subject with interest, "So now let's talk about a very important question, have you chosen your second advanced mission?" With the lessons learned from the last time, this time it is better to choose the type that will allow us to participate as well. ”

"I'll have to look for it. At least I can't find any suitable options for the tasks that are hanging out in the church today. Speaking of this, the halfling wanderer immediately grimaced, "It's either a stealth mission or a stealth mission." The former is not suitable for our team, and the latter is not only not suitable, but it takes a long time. I don't think all the players can stand it. ”

"Don't worry. This kind of thing is going to take its time, anyway, we will be in Poitu for a long time. Barrett reassured. (To be continued.) )
