Chapter 45: The Paradise of Hypocrisy (II)

On the roof of a sentry box outside the village of Karn, several kittens of different colors were lying there lazily like real cats, overlooking the people in the village who were overjoyed for a while because they had received the food they had given free of charge, and could not help but show a sneering smile.

“…… Meow hoohoo! What a bunch of stupid guys! For such a pitiful little favor, I was so happy that I couldn't find the north. Don't they know that the wool comes out of the sheep? The money used to buy these foods may be their original savings! ”

Ma Tong, a raccoon cat thief who is presented as a cat in this world, muttered while gnawing on small dried fish to replenish his physical strength.

As one of the planners involved in this operation to buy the hearts and minds of the people, she is well aware that the Lich King Ainz spends all the money to procure food for the residents of Karn Village comes from the fortress city of Ya, which has been reduced to the city of death. Lantier, every coin was excavated by the undead from the stinking ruins - in fact, in the first place, out of the desire to save money, Ainz intended to take the fortress directly into the city. Food from the city of Lantil was brought out and distributed to the refugees. After some inspection, it was found that because of the erosion of the undead miasma, it was originally hoarded in Ye. The food in the city of Lantil had become so polluted and spoiled that it was no longer suitable for human consumption, otherwise there would be a danger of poisoning, so he gave up in a foolish manner.

Therefore, although the treacherous grain merchants of the Bajas Empire offered a high price in the process of procuring this batch of food, the cost of transporting the food by horse-drawn cart by land from such a large distance was also exaggerated, and in the end, most of the goods were given to the inhabitants as a benefit. However, the purchase cost was originally from the sheep, which came from the inheritance after the destruction of the city, so even if it cost more, the Lich King Ainz did not feel distressed.

“…… To be able to expropriate and expropriate a little bit of the oil and water exploited to the lower class poor, he can already be called a benevolent meow! ”

Persian cat scholar Guo Political Commissar said calmly, "...... Hasn't the wealth of every nation been distributed in this way since ancient times? The upper class eats meat, and the lower class poor drink soup, so that society can be stable and meow. A method like Ainz is definitely a high-welfare meow. It is enough for a good ruler to be kind to his own people, but how they were treated when they were not his own is another question. Aren't the US military and the European Union in the Middle East also acting as demons killing people and setting fire to dropping bombs, while pretending to be angels to deliver food and water to help refugees? ”

“…… What's more, as the saying goes, 'those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black'. Look at what kind of guys are in Nasalik's grave? Lich, Demon, Cockroach, Insect Warrior, Vampire...... The evil value is higher than the other, and there are many meows who like to eat people and torture and kill. And whether they eat people or not, they all disdain the weak humans of this world, and regard them as low-level creatures, not to mention killing people, and even slaughtering the city is not taken seriously. No matter how pure his nature is, no matter how pure his nature is, under the influence of these evil-ridden people, how can he be kind after a long time? ”

Wang Meiling, who logged in to the other world with the Sanhua Cat priest account, that is, Wang Qiu's mother, casually took over the conversation, "...... There may be some remnants of being a human in the Lich King's mind right now. But after a while, it is estimated that there will really be only the style of the evil demon king left, right? ”

“…… Well, in fact, if you want to play politics, you can't help but be evil. According to the judgment method in the table game, in the history of human civilization, most of the rulers who can be called eloquent and strategic belong to the camp of order and evil. As the Italian statesman Machiavelli described in his famous book "The Monarch". A good ruler should be as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a lion, and the result of putting a good man in power will most likely lead to a catastrophic meow in the end. Of course, there are also a lot of rulers who belong to the good camp, but most of them are fools like Song Xianggong or Gorbachev, who are evaluated as naïve and romantic and achieve nothing, and even harm others and themselves. Because the circle of politics is the most cruel, if a person swears to do good in anything, he will be destroyed once he is in the midst of many unkind people. ”

Political Commissar Guo commented, "...... If you think about it, although many things are based on our advice, our protagonist, Mr. Aintz, has been acting strictly according to the essence of the "Monarch" recently! For example: 'Crimes should be committed all at once, so that the people may suffer less and their grievances will be reduced; And the favor should be given little by little, so that the people can better appreciate the taste of the favor. ''The monarch must entrust the responsibility to others, and keep the matter of mercy to himself, and be a great liar and hypocrite.'' At the same time, the brutality and greed of the army must be tolerated. ''A wise monarch, at every opportunity, ought to strangely set up certain enemies in order to subdue them, and thus make himself greater. ’…… Should it be said that Machiavelli's ideas have also been carried forward in the other world? ”

“…… Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, the most important topic of discussion right now should not be the Imperial Meow of the Lich King Ainz, right? ”

Elvis Presley, who was looking at the personal game panel with a sad face, silently calculating the points, "...... Recently, the increase rate of reward points has been getting slower and slower, and the total score is still half of the 750,000 points away from the rescue of all the traversers! What do you think you have in mind? ”

As a result, all the cats fell silent for a moment.

――As I said before, in order to rescue the fifteen newcomers trapped in this plot world, according to the exit score of 50,000 reward points per person, Wang Qiu and the rescuers had to make up an astronomical amount of 750,000 reward points...... In order to complete this almost impossible task, they racked their brains to reverse the main plot line, but they simply ruined the protagonist's adventurer journey, and frantically set off a undead natural disaster that did not exist in the original book, turning the plot upside down, which made the reward points pour out like a volcanic eruption. However, when the seventh trapped person was rescued last month, that is, after earning 350,000 points, the growth rate of reward points began to slow down significantly. Until now, the reward points after clearing have not recovered to 20,000, and it is still far from 50,000 points to rescue the next person.

As a result, they have to wreak havoc at a higher intensity in this world in order to change the plot and earn points.

However, it is impossible to further expand the war between the undead and humans for the time being. The high-end combat power of the Great Tomb of Nasalik is invincible in the world, but the number of low-level zombies, skeleton soldiers, goblins, demon cockroaches, and lich is limited, and after deducting the minimum number of people left in the main base, the total number of undead who can pull out to fight is only about 6,000. Even with the addition of the Demon Cockroaches of the Terror Lord and the undead creatures summoned and tamed in this world, the front-line commander Demon Gentleman Dimiugos only has more than 20,000 troops under his command, and any more will be out of command.

Of course, it is not impossible to continue to tap the potential to increase the army, for example, in the hands of the Lich King Ainz there is a horn that can summon 5,000 goblin legions, and the library of the Great Tomb of Nasalik also stores a number of magic scrolls about group summoning.

But for the cautious Ainz by nature, it was already a big gamble to send so many undead creatures and several guild guardian powerful NPCs to fight. As for the Great Tomb of Nasalik, it is necessary to keep enough garrison troops in case of any case, and it is absolutely impossible to empty the troops. No matter how good the fooling experts of the central organization are, they can't completely let him dance with his baton.

If Wang Qiu and his "otherworldly players" go to find a place to score points by themselves, those small-scale ambushes and sneak attacks may be okay, and if they want to engage in siege and national wars, it will be very difficult to play large-scale dungeons, and the key problem is also that there is a serious shortage of troops.

After all, even if there is a server conjured up by the Book of Crossing, there are only twenty player accounts that can open a cheat to the full level. The rest have to slowly brush up experience and accumulate equipment from first-level rookies, even if they want to charge money to become a RMB player! In fact, recently, Wang Qiu and the other fierce cats have been fighting monsters in the big forest near Karn Village, and now they have almost wiped out all kinds of monsters in this area, and there is a depressing problem that has no points to brush - this is a real fantasy world, not an online game world that can be refreshed regularly. Even real monsters can reproduce and migrate, but it is impossible for them to breed in such large numbers in a few dozen days.

Of course, this forest is so vast that there are still wild monsters to farm in the distance. For example, in the fourth volume of the original book "Overlord, the King of the Undead", there is a tribe of lizardmen who once appeared, and they also live in this large forest that stretches for thousands of miles. The problem is that this tribe of lizardmen is not only far away, but also has a population of tens of thousands, and a few dozen kittens, leprechauns, slimes, or iron golems alone cannot be dealt with, but there is a risk of setting themselves on fire and luring the enraged lizardmen warriors back to Karn Village. As for the dwarven towns and elven tribes further afield, the few twenty cats would not even know how to make their way through the forest without a large army to clear the way and transport supplies.

“…… The current situation is already obvious. In order to meet the increasingly anxious urging of the higher authorities, we must further accelerate the scoring in this world. But the Lich King Ainz can't fool around anymore - this guy has always been timid, and even the current progress of the battle situation feels too fast, for fear that one who is unlucky will be pulled by the egg, and wants him to scatter the rest of his troops and kill all sides, which is simply an impossible task.

If we rely on ourselves to earn points, there is no risk in fighting junglers, but the speed of earning points is too slow if there is too little oil and water. If you change to a large-scale copy with a lot of oil and water, the high-end combat power is no problem, but if you don't have the cooperation of low-level miscellaneous soldiers, it still won't work! ”

Seeing that no one else had any ideas, and carefully studying the current situation, Wang Qiu summed it up to everyone, and then came up with a ghost idea of breaking the jar and breaking it, "...... In that case, let's go to the riots! Anyway, we don't have much else in China, it's just a lot of people! ”

“…… Rioters? Hey, how are you going to put troops into this world, meow? For us, this fantasy world is just an online game, even if there are a million PLA uncles and an aircraft carrier battle group, can you still send it over? Ma Tong asked.

“…… But as long as we have that unusual server, we can have a million players create character accounts in the Atlas! ”

Wang Qiu raised his eyebrows, "...... There are still some confidentiality troubles to be solved, but it's not too much of a problem......"

Everyone suddenly realized, but immediately discovered the loophole in this idea:

“…… The premise is that so many people are willing to come and play! "Wang Meiling, the mother who was a hardcore player in World of Warcraft in the past, pointed out the biggest drawbacks in it," ...... Based on my experience over this time, I really don't think this game is much fun! ”

“…… If it's not fun enough, make up for it with money! How many people in the world work for a hobby? ”

Wang Qiu smiled, "...... So much investment was spent before. The central government should still be able to come up with such a special fund. Even if this real otherworldly version of the online game feels terrible to play, as long as you are willing to put money into it, there should still be people who will come to play! ”

So, with the full cooperation of the government department, only the next day, a new online game was released on the Internet......
