Chapter 14: The Bounty
The cat master soon received Wang Xu's private chat message, and the content was just two words: done.
A few seconds later, 50 million game coins were remitted to the cat master in the form of a virtual email, and he behaved very calmly, just replied to Wang Xu with two words in a private chat: Hero Club, Aotian.
Five minutes after Wang Xu received the news, an anonymous player in the Mercenary Guild released a entrusted task through the system: to take down the head of the Hero Guild President Aotian within 24 hours.
And the column of entrustment money is filled with 20 million.
This is absolutely crazy behavior, because the task is only one sentence, and no details are added, so the basis for the system to judge the completion of the task is also very loose, you can kill Aotian alone, or you can organize a group of people to kill Aotian. It is even permissible that if Aotian himself is interested in 20 million, he can just find a friend to kill him once, and then come to receive the task reward.
But will Autean do that? Of course not!
The game's system has many leaderboards, which can be checked at any time in the information center, and the rankings of individuals such as those levels and prestige aside, let's talk about the guild leaderboard, the comprehensive strength of the "Hero Club", which is the first in the whole game.
So it can be seen from this that this Aotian president, as the boss of the first guild in the game, must have a very good sense of self, that is, he thinks he is the first brother of this broken game.
A dignified brother, for the sake of 20 million, he will sacrifice his head with a face? Impossible! If it's Wang Xu, it's still a bit possible, but listen to someone's ID: Aotian! I don't know what to do.
Therefore, this seemingly simple task is actually not simple...... Its complexity is like Lu Xiaofeng's daughter-in-law who went to the Ximen Blowing Snow family, and it is not what it looks like at all.
It's a conspiracy, a huge conspiracy, and the wonderful thing about this conspiracy is that it spreads, grows, grows, grows, and grows until it gets out of control. And its only nourishment is people's hearts......
A minute after Wang Xu released the task, the task was swiped on the large screen scrolling in the information center in the most eye-catching font in the game. Of course, this is also within the calculation of the cat master.,As long as the task of more than one million rewards is released in the mercenary guild,The information center of each city will broadcast it in a special way.,The format is roughly:Mercenary guild in such and such a city,Existing player so-and-so (or anonymous)Posted the task or something...... For more information about the quest, please visit the Mercenary Guild for details.
The task entrusted by Wang Xu is as high as 20 million rewards, so the font is made super eye-catching by the system, and furthermore, the content of his task is also quite shocking, which simply blinds the eyes of the majority of players and shocks their fragile hearts.
For a while, the information center was empty, and the threshold of the mercenary guild was about to collapse.
The system sets up mercenary guilds roughly like this, charging a 2% service fee for each mission. That is, for the entrusting party who released the task in the mercenary guild, if someone completes your task, then the 2% will be deducted from the reward he gets, and no one will take the task, then after seven days, the mercenary guild will cancel the task and return the bounty to the entrusting party, but deduct 2% of the service fee from it.
There is also a situation that if someone takes the task but does not complete it within the specified time, he will be forced by the system to deduct the game currency equivalent to 20% of the reward amount, 18% to the client, as compensation for wasting his time and delaying the progress of the game, and 2% will still be handed over to the mercenary guild as a service fee, that is, the system. This is actually not a loss for the entrusting party, which is equivalent to getting back all the money and an additional 18% interest. As for the system, no matter how the money between your players comes and goes, he can always get 2%, which is similar to the stock exchange, and he will make a steady profit without losing money.
But in any case, there can only be one person who takes the task, no matter how many people actually complete the task, the one who takes the task is responsible, similar to the legal representative, according to Uncle Ge's lines back then: I am a legal person, do you know? What is a legal person? The one who was brought to justice!
Pick up tasks and receive rewards, it's all this person, of course, if you want to deduct money, you will also be deducted. Therefore, don't look at so many players pouring into the mercenary guild, in fact, they are all there to join in the fun, they just want to see what the details of this mission are and whether it is profitable. And there is no one who dares to take on this task.
No way, the threshold is too high. First of all, 20 million quests, and then you have to have 4 million in-game coins, which will be frozen after you finish the quest, making you unusable. This way, the system can ensure that you get paid if you don't complete the task.
This wiped out 70% of the players in one fell swoop. This part of the people is the backbone of online games, there is spending power, but the money spent will not be too exaggerated, each of them gives a small profit into a tower, thus supporting the entire game world, but these players play games purely for entertainment, it is difficult to form a wealth accumulation, a million I am afraid few people can come up with.
The remaining 30% of players. Not everyone has this kind of personal asset. Many consortium leaders who do business in the game may be able to get this money, but this kind of person basically practices business skills, PK kills and other things, people are handed over to part-time workers to do, if you want a businessman to take out four million to guarantee his thugs, he has to consider it from the perspective of a businessman, is it worth it? How risky? How sure are you?
There are also those professional players, most of these people are single-handed, high-end operations, excellent awareness, playing games for a living, not entertainment, personal ability, is indeed very strong, and the funds on hand are more than ordinary players, four million is likely to be scrapped. They have their own small circle, many tasks can be found to help with peers, and finally share the spoils or something, everyone is happy, mixed nodding friends, from time to time to give each other a little favor, mutual benefit. But you let them kill Aotian? This is inevitably difficult for some strong people. Alone? Looking for death, looking for a few friends? What should I do when people are not in harmony? Even if we are united, how many of us who play games can make up for it? A platoon or a company? Even if you get together a battalion and go to fight with thousands of heroes? Do you think you're Garrison's death squad?
So in the end, there is only one kind of people left who have the ability to take on this single task, that is, the same as the Hero Guild, those big guilds that are extremely powerful in the game.
As I said before, the hero will be the first in the guild's "comprehensive strength" ranking, and this comprehensive strength is calculated by the system, based on a wide range of bases, including the number of people, financial resources, membership levels, the number of bosses killed by the guild, the number of net kills in the legion-level PK, and even the personal combat ability of each member, etc......
But there are many rankings in this game, and there is also a pure guild combat power ranking, and the hero will only be third; Guild number leaderboard, Heroes will be second; Guild PVE ability ranking is also second.
So you say, is Aotian a brother? He certainly thinks so, but others may not all think so. The first "supreme" guild leader in the combat power rankings, ID: War Spirit, he also thinks he is a brother, because he is also the first in the player's personal combat power rankings, and the fourth in the personal level rankings, what kind of thing are you arrogant? Can I beat me alone? Isn't it that the guild has more people and more money than me? Even if you have a lot of people, your combat effectiveness is also high on my side, doesn't this show that all the people in your club are waste!
He is far from the only president who has this kind of thinking......
The only way to convince these guys is to develop the guild into a super empire that completely overpowers any other guild in the entire game, and practice it yourself in the game to be invincible.
I guess Mr. Bill Gates will be able to do it in the next decade by selling Microsoft and then devoting himself to online games, and by that time it will be a question of whether the game company itself has gone out of business.
Therefore, the idea of being a brain-dead online game is itself a brain-dead ......
Anyway, let's get back to the task. Almost all players have reached a consensus in a short period of time that 99% of this task will not be accepted, but in case, any of the big guilds dare to take this deal, and the game will immediately set off a bloody storm.
…………
The news of this 20 million mission spread at a speed that was by no means comparable to that of the plague, and in less than three hours, even the guys who were leveling up in the barren mountains and wilderness knew about it.
Therefore, Aotian naturally knows that he is sitting in the LV4 guild base of the Hero Club at the moment, holding his cheeks, looking at all kinds of information in the game forum, what gossip, exclusive secrets, anonymous player conjectures, etc., new posts have sprung up, but not half a word is reliable.
"Twenty million is not a small number...... Even if it is taken out as a joke, it will cost a full 400,000 service fees, and an ordinary player who struggles to level 40 may not be able to have 100,000 yuan. The speaker's ID is called "Ren Slash", and he lingered beside Aotian in a pensive state, "Last time, Boss Jia asked us to cooperate, and borrowed seventy of our members above level 45 as foreign aid to kill the 'King of Jungle Voodoo', and his commission was only two million. ”
"Hmph...... It's an incredible task. Aotian responded: "What good can I get by killing me?" I'm a blue name, so it's unlikely that the equipment will be exposed, not to mention that the person who released the mission didn't write in the mission in case the equipment was exposed, which means that he didn't come here for this at all. If you want me to lower my experience, I'm already outside the top 10 in the personal ranking, which obviously doesn't make sense. Could it be that this man is purely seeking revenge? ”
The person said: "Yes, no matter how you look at it, this is a loss-making deal, no one answers, he lost 400,000, someone finished, he lost 20 million!" And there is no benefit, it is simply harmful to others and not to oneself, why is this done? Even if you have a grudge, it is impossible to spend so much money and do such a thing that is not stable and unprofitable, right? ”
Aotian said: "I speculate that this person who issued the task thinks like this, he thinks that it is impossible to kill me Aotian, as long as someone has a hot brain and takes the task, he can make a net profit of 3.6 million liquidated damages." Hum...... It's ridiculous, when everyone else is stupid? Who would spend four million to do something that is uncertain. ”
Before he finished speaking, a junior brother of the Heroes Association rushed in outside, with a frightened look on his face: "No...... Oh no...... An anonymous player took the task! ”
Aotian and Ren Slash's expressions changed sharply, and Aotian immediately scolded in a low voice: "Damn it...... Which bastard...... How dare you ......"
The man said, "What's the matter?" President. ”
Aotian said: "Isn't this clear! Either a fool with four million dollars took the task, or ...... Is there any guild that thinks it will kill me within twenty-four hours......"
The man said: "President, don't worry too much, I think the president of the Mao Association will lose his mind when he sees the money, and he wants to make a desperate bet, I will now go and gather members from all over the country to come back and arm, so that they will not come back." ”
Aotian said: "People are killed...... This matter must be cautious, I will look at the whole thing now, there is a lot of article in it......"
…………
At the same time, the cat master yawned and walked out of the mercenary guild, this LV10 ranger who had been in the game for less than a day, just took the task issued by Wang Xu very casually, and then walked to the business guild with a lazy pace, and said in a mocking tone: "Fellow buddies, from now on, please use your limited wisdom to figure it out, and then ...... Let's go to destruction together. ”
