Inside the café next to the Fountain Square, a magical town.

Cucumber slices gathered in the box to discuss the task.

They went online as soon as the server ended maintenance and became the first wizard apprentices at the Academy of Magic.

Over the course of two days, they visited all the areas open to players and triggered many side quests.

Now it's time to compile the information at hand and write a set of plans for Boss Jin to be promoted quickly.

"I triggered the task of cleaning the college corridors and cleaning the castle toilets." One player said:

"The refresh time for these two side quests is 30 minutes, and only 20 players can perform them at the same time. Don't look at these two tasks just sweeping the floor and cleaning the glass, in fact, it is not simple. ”

The player played a video.

In the video, he is wiping the mirror of the toilet.

Just as he rubbed it to the third mirror, a sneaky black shadow flashed in the mirror, making the hairs stand on end.

The player snapped the pause button, froze the video at the moment when the black shadow appeared, and said:

"See? That's the thing. I suspect it's some kind of hint of a hidden task. Because after this black shadow flashed, I noticed that from time to time there would be abnormal noises in the toilet, and there would be inexplicable stains. ”

Cucumber Slices asked thoughtfully:

"Can you catch that shadow?"

The player shakes his head:

"No, I can't. It's too fast, and the task of cleaning the toilet is time-limited. If I waste my time on plugging out the shadows, I won't have time to clean the toilet. ”

The cucumber slice clapped his hands and said:

"Well, that seems to be a difficult hidden mission. Generally speaking, this kind of task should be a one-time one, and the rewards are better. Record it and send it to Boss Kim later. ”

Strawberry Juice uses the game's built-in notepad feature to enter information about this task.

The number of hidden quests seems to be in the minority.

In this hour-long team meeting, Cucumber Slices and others summed up no less than 30 clues to the hidden task.

Strawberry juice packs the clues and sends them to Boss Kim, along with a quick upgrade plan designed by the team.

According to this plan, it only takes 55 days for Boss Jin to be promoted to a first-ring wizard and officially use the power of magic.

The golden dragon recovered quickly in the sky.

He asked Cucumber Slices and the others to gather in the halls of the Academy of Magic to assist him in all the hidden tasks.

The boss has an order, and the younger brothers dare not obey.

Cucumber Slices asked his teammates to grab their seats on the side quests first, while he himself waited in the hall for a while.

After a while, the golden dragon came in the sky, and the cucumber slice took the initiative to meet it, saying:

"Boss Jin, go this way, the brothers have already helped you take advantage of the side quest. After you pass, just take the task. ”

Jin Long patted the cucumber slice on the shoulder in the sky, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face:

"Very good, with you pro gamers who are proficient in the story and quests, I have really saved a lot of heart. My group of little brothers know that they can fight and farm monsters, and it is up to you to do the task. ”

The cucumber slice smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly, and asked as he led the way:

"Boss, I heard that we had a conflict with other big guilds yesterday? What's going on? ”

Yesterday, when the major guilds gathered their fleets and were tense outside the black hole, Cucumber Slices was leading the team to collect mission intelligence, so they didn't know much about the beginning and end of the conflict.

When the golden dragon heard this, he sneered and said:

"Someone is jealous that we are the first to complete the plot task, and we have no choice, so we have to make the yin."

The cucumber slice frowned slightly, probably guessing what was going on.

Just listen to the golden dragon in the sky continued:

"Yesterday morning, when the game first launched, several players applied to join our guild with new characters. The guild management saw that they were willing to contribute money to fund the guild, so they directly recruited them in, and asked people to bring them to the black hole to do tasks. I really didn't expect that these bastards were spies sent by 'Proud Fantasy'. After they bought the frigate, they sprayed it with the logo of our guild, and then pinched the eggs outside the black hole, causing public outrage. The people of the 'Proud Fantasy' took the opportunity to sail over to start a war, saying that our 'Golden Dragon' guild deliberately occupied the black hole and did not let other guilds and casual players do the mission. Isn't that just finding fault? ”

Cucumber slices sighed:

"It's too damaging."

"And that's not all." The golden dragon snorted coldly:

"I asked people to find out what was going on, and I kicked those bastards right away. However, no matter how fast we move, we can't move as fast as others. As soon as we figured out the situation on the front foot, in the next second, a large number of trolls appeared on forums and short video websites, smearing our guild. Obviously, the 'Proud Fantasy' gang came prepared this time. Not only did they plant spies on us, but they also bought off the self-media and the water army to build momentum for themselves. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Long Zaitian breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and his tone slowed down a little:

"Fortunately, yesterday's mission to assemble the fleet happened to trigger the 5th ring story mission, otherwise a tragic guild battle would definitely be indispensable."

Cucumber slice opened the game interface and searched for yesterday's hot topics.

Indeed, yesterday's wind was one-sided, and all of them were accusing the "Golden Dragon" guild of trying to occupy the black hole, and no one cared who provoked the incident at all.

Eh, helpless.

At the moment when entertainment is to death, all rational discussions will be crushed by blind melon-eating enthusiasm.

The few who are able to think for themselves will also choose to remain silent because they have witnessed a frenzied scene.

In this situation, except for the 5th ring story mission triggered by the assembly of the fleet, there is indeed no way to reverse the unfavorable situation of the "Golden Dragon" guild.

"Boss, are you sure it's only 'Proud Fantasy' that's causing trouble? Is it possible that other major guilds are also involved? Otherwise, just relying on the connections of 'proud fantasy', it should be enough to make public opinion one-sided. Cucumber slices said.

The golden dragon waved his hand in the sky and said:

"Eh, this kind of thing where the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing, how can all parties conspire. As long as the 'Proud Fantasy' takes the lead, the other guilds will naturally come up and step on it. ”

The cucumber slices thought about it too, so they stopped thinking about it.

He took the golden dragon to a corridor in the sky and found the elf who was in charge of cleaning the toilets.

Next to the elf stood a teammate with cucumber slices.

Seeing that the golden dragon was coming in the sky, this person took the initiative to cancel his side quest and make room for the other party to take the side quest.

This operation is perfectly normal in the player community, and no one usually complains about anything.

But when Jin Long handed over to his teammates in the sky and cucumber slices, there was a strange sound of yin and yang next to him.

"Oops~ The big guild is just different~ There are pugs to help guide the way when doing tasks~"

The faces of the three cucumber slices changed, and they turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

Those were two players wearing wizard apprentice robes.

They have a player's nickname on their heads, and the guild name does not appear under the nickname, indicating that they are casual players who have not joined the guild.

The two of them, one of them were flamboyant and sarcastic, and the other turned on the game's camera function and pointed the translucent camera at the three cucumber slices.

Since the players are not who they are, this practice of turning on the camera function without the consent of others in the game does not violate the law in reality.

However, in the Gamer Rules, players who are recorded can force the cameraman to blur their image and nickname.

However, this kind of after-the-fact remedy is not useful for a big man like Jin Long Zaitian.

Even if the three people of Jin Long Zaitian in the video are smeared into black shadows, they will still attract widespread attention because of the copywriting of the video.

Especially at the moment when the pickling incident only happened yesterday, any slightest misconduct of the "Golden Dragon" Guild will be infinitely magnified by people with intentions, and then incur verbal criticism.

The cucumber slice figured out the key point at once.

He dodged and stood in front of the golden dragon in front of the sky, blocking the camera, and at the same time turned on his camera function and pointed the camera at the two players:

"There are 'proud fantasies' who are here to splash dirty water! Don't think I won't recognize you if you don't have a guild! ”

The two players looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes, we are 'proud of the world'. How? Not convinced? Come us~~~ We're itchy, it's just underwhelming! Come on~~"

Cucumber Slices was just about to speak, when the sound of dense footsteps came from the other end of the hallway.

I saw more than a dozen scattered players rushing towards here, and after a while, they came to the vicinity of the Golden Dragon in the sky and surrounded them.

One of them shouted at the top of his voice:

"Boss Kim! You don't want to do a mission today! You can't be popular here, I'll see what you can do with us! ”

A group of people surrounded the golden dragon in the sky, and even surrounded the elves.

The elf NPC who was in charge of distributing the cleaning task shouted "Ah~" in panic, and then disappeared into countless points of light.

It is estimated that the gathering of players triggered the hidden mechanism of the NPC, and the elf left the golden dragon waiting to take the task in the sky and left alone.

This can make the troublesome scattered players happy, and shout that they have found a good way to stop the golden dragon from doing tasks in the sky.

Although the elven NPCs left, this group of scattered players did not, and they still surrounded the golden dragon in the sky on the third and outer three layers.

Several people lowered their heads and stretched out the top of their heads to the golden dragon in front of the sky.

"Come on, Boss Jin, hit me if you see that I'm not happy~"

"You fight, you fight~"

"Aren't you the guild leader, aren't you? Why is it like a grandson now, who doesn't dare to fart? ”

"Give you a chance, you don't have to~"

When they signed up as a wizard apprentice, players were given the House Handbook.

The manual mentions that players who attack NPCs and non-red status players first will be punished by NPC guards in the Academy.

Although this group of scattered players surrounded the golden dragon in the sky, they did not have any physical contact with each other.

Since there is no physical contact, it will not be ruled illegal.

If Jin Long wants to leave in the sky, he can either use forced offline to return to the safe zone, or he can only call the players in the guild to help him clear the way.

The former will allow the Golden Dragons to miss out on a 24-hour chance to upgrade, while the latter has the potential for a wider conflict.

No matter which choice is made, it seems that the three of Jinlong Zaitian can only face losses.

Just when the three of them were at a loss, the elven NPC from earlier appeared not far away, followed by a group of heavily armed elven guards.

After the elven NPC and the elven guard talk a few words, the elven guard takes out a pen and paper, writes a letterhead on the spot, and hands it to the magic messenger to send out.

After about two minutes, the scattered players who were messing around in the hallway shook in unison and received a system message.

[You have violated the new clause of the Faculty Manual:]

[Article 134, Unlawful interference with the daily affairs of elven workers.] 】

[You will be imprisoned in the small black room of the academy, please cooperate with the work of the elven guards.] 】

"Is that okay?!"

"I'm not convinced! Why temporarily revise the "Faculty Manual"! ”

"I'm speechless! You don't care about maliciously grabbing the position of the side quest, and you will bully us casual players! ”

The elven guards swarmed up and unleashed a magic net, controlling all the scattered players and dragging them towards the Academy's small black room.

The hallway was silent.

The cucumber slice trio did not receive a system message.

After they heard the casual players say "temporarily modify the "Student Manual", they thought of opening the manual to check it.

Looking at the new 134th article on his hand, the cucumber slices were amazed, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised:

"This game is really getting more and more realistic~ NPCs can modify the rules of an area in real time according to the player's behavior."

The golden dragon didn't care about what was real or unreal, he only knew that he was being put on the table again, and the anger in his heart grew.

"It's endless! Isn't it just a day before they complete the task? As for targeting me like this? Am I still stuck in the crusade against the Angel Business Consortium? ”

Jin Long complained loudly in the sky, opened the guild channel, and sent a voice:

"Everybody's staring at me! Try not to get into trouble with people! Be sure to figure out who's been targeting us! If it's the 'arrogant fantasy' that they are doing evil, you gather the evidence, and I will negotiate with them!" ”

After speaking, Jin Long took a few breaths in the sky and gradually calmed down, and then continued to carry out the side quest.

To be on the safe side, he called a few other players over to help out so that he wouldn't be surrounded by scattered players again.

At the same time, the little dark room of the Academy.

This place is located on the third basement floor of the academy, and the atmosphere is gloomy without seeing the light of day.

The player who made the mistake was imprisoned in a single black room by the elven guards.

As a first-time offender, he only needs to stay here for 12 hours before leaving.

Players who enter this area are magically muted, unable to speak, or make any sounds.

In a solitary dark room, they could do nothing but read boring poetry books.

An elven guard guarding the entrance to the third basement floor has an unusual appearance.

His eyes changed from the cold and ruthless characteristic of NPC guards to a slightly fluctuating look, revealing a thoughtful look.

This was the outward manifestation of Li Nuo's will to descend on this magic puppet.

He gave the order to the guards around him to continue to stand guard, and then slowly walked to the small dark room where the players were being held, intending to figure out why the scattered players were causing trouble in the academy.

Leno had to do it.

It's true that these casual players are not members of the guild, and they are not newly created characters.

Players known to be tainted by the Cult of the Dark Protoon have all used the new characters, but this group of casual players does not fit the traits of being tainted by the Cult of the Dark Protoon.

If they did have an affair with the Dark God Sect, then Leno would have to be vigilant.

This means that the Cult of the Dark Protos has expanded the control objects from players who delete the old character to players who use the old character. (End of chapter)
