"Ahhh~~"
"Damn~" All kinds of sighs and curses rang out, not only because of the disappointment of the mission failure, but also the depression of fleeing, especially the players from the big guilds, they have hardly been so angry since Yi Xuan. , But there is no way. In such a large-scale melee, it is almost impossible to complete the task. Fortunately, as long as the NPC does not die, there is still a chance after all.
Also full of frustration is Yi Xuan. Standing in the camp, he was depressed and fearful. Fortunately, this time I inexplicably collected the four to five hundred casual players, otherwise it is not always clear who wins and loses. Well, at the same time, I am also very angry about Edward’s appearance. It is estimated that those players have gathered because of his relationship. If they are not earning reward points by promoting the plot like themselves, they do not need so many people to attack a copy. If it weren't for him, things would never develop into this way today.
Back in the tent, Yi Xuan's anger a little bit. Thinking about it, he is narrow-minded. He wants to earn reward points from dungeons. Naturally, Edward can also. Maybe he is also blaming himself for ruining his good deeds. , But having said that, I don’t know how much influence he has in the Green Watchers? If his influence is large enough, does it mean that he may be seen in his actions in the future, and there will be an on-going battle.
Yi Xuan doesn’t want to experience today’s things anymore. After all, the player’s life is countless times, and in this kind of plot event, his life is only once. But he has to cherish it very much. It seems that he has to find a way to negotiate with Edward Just work.
Thinking of this, Yi Xuan gathered his energy and came to the outside to comfort the injuries, and then listened to the intelligence. Inside the camp, you can see players who have retreated from the battlefield from time to time. These players are still talking about what they just said while walking back. fighting.
Some talked about what they had gained, and some talked about being killed several times. Yi Xuan kept chatting with these players. From their mouths, I probably learned that due to the melee between the empire and the alliance players, Yi Xuan The NPC team of the Green Watcher I saw later also escorted their heroes to retreat. It seems that Edward is still alive.
How can I get in touch with Edward? Yi Xuan thought for a while, remembering the first time he met Edward, where should he go back if he wants to discuss with himself? Obviously the NPC mall is more suitable. Whether Edward wants to blame himself or think of negotiating like himself, it is estimated that most of them should be waiting for him in the NPC mall at this time, unless the other party has no such idea at all, then go by himself It's not a loss to stroll around.
Thinking of this, Yi Xuan turned around and got into his tent, choosing to enter the NPC mall.
A white light flashed in front of him, and he came to the familiar street in the NPC mall. Yi Xuan glanced around, and a figure sitting on a bench immediately caught his attention.
With emerald green soft armor, golden hair, and pointed ears, he gracefully leaned his body on the back of the bench. Who else could it be if it wasn't James Edward
Edward stared in the direction of Yi Xuan's appearance. It seemed that he had waited for a while. He didn't have any accident when Yi Xuan appeared. He smiled gracefully, and reached out his hand in a please gesture to Yi Xuan.
Yi Xuan also smiled indifferently. We can't lose to you in terms of bearing, right? He walked over and sat down. The heavy armor on Yi Xuan's body and the pressed wooden bench groaned in pain.
"The weather today is good!" Edward said with a smile and looked at the sky. "If my father were here, he would definitely say that today is very suitable for hunting weather."
Yi Xuan didn't expect him to say this suddenly. He raised his head and looked at the sky strangely. The weather in this NPC mall has never changed. The blue sky is a little false, and the white sky looks like painted clouds. How good is that? ? However, this seemingly profound sentence seemed to come again without any purpose. Yi Xuan looked down at Edward and suddenly smiled. This Edward is British! The British talk about the weather, just like the Chinese ask you if you have eaten, it is just a polite remark, and has no other special meaning.
Thinking of this, he also nodded: "It is indeed a very good weather. However, I have a hunch that it may rain soon after such a sunny day. Maybe it will still be a heavy rain!"
"Hahaha." Edward stopped Yi Xuan's words and suddenly laughed happily. He knew that the two sentences after Yi Xuan were just for mocking himself when discussing the weather in the mall.
After laughing, Edward’s eyes became more serious. "Today this incident is really a regrettable accident! To be honest, this is not my intention, and this result is the last thing I want to see. of."
He directly saved Yi Xuan a lot of trouble, but he didn't like to be okay to pretend to be here with others. Nodded and said: "I don't want to see something similar. Then, let's talk about it, since you are here, you obviously have a plan for negotiation in your mind."
Since both people intend to use this method of destroying monster forces to promote the plot and get more reward points. Then all the monster forces are equivalent to a piece of cake to them. How to cut this cake can satisfy both of them, and it really needs a distribution principle.
"That's right." Edward said, raising his legs to make his sitting posture more comfortable, but since he turned into an elf, his behavior is really elegant and abnormal, and Yi Xuan can't hate him when he sees it. "Look at this, according to our current camp allocation, I will be responsible for cleaning up the monster forces in the territory of all alliance camps. Of course, all the monster forces in the imperial camp will have to work hard for you. I am naturally Screaming for you next to cheer, you will never cross the line, what do you think?"
Yi Xuan nodded. Anyway, it is impossible for him to clean up the monster forces in the depths of the alliance. After all, he is leading the players of the empire. "It's reasonable, but what about the area outside the territory of the two forces?"
The number of such areas is not less than the territories owned by the two camps. Moreover, in the territories of the two camps, there are actually not many copies. Even if there are, most of them are low-level copies.
After all, the area that can be controlled by the two camps basically shows that it is relatively peaceful. And only those areas that are very sinister and monsters are very powerful are not within the reach of the two camps.
Edward apparently thought about the problem, but he didn't know what idea he made and laughed without saying a word, "How about you first say this time?"
Yi Xuan had just looked at him a bit pleasing to the eye, this guy started selling off again, with an awkward smile, but Yi Xuan really thought about this problem, and was too lazy to care about him at the moment, and said, "I have two distribution methods. The first is that we follow the rule of first-come, first-served. The second method is that we allocate the map in advance, and it is also half of one person. What do you think?"
"Well, it sounds fair." Edward nodded.
"Okay, that's it." Yi Xuan knew at a glance that Edward had something to say, so he simply blocked his mouth and got up to leave.
"Eh, wait." Edward was really anxious, and changed his elegant and idleness just now, "I haven't finished yet."
"Didn't you mean it's fair?" Yi Xuan gave Edward a white look, which instantly destroyed the profound appearance Edward had built up just now.
Edward signaled Yi Xuan to sit down with a slight embarrassment, and then Yi Xuan sat down reluctantly, "Tell me, what do you think."
"Have you ever thought about the partnership between us?"
"Partnership? Why?" Yi Xuan was taken aback when he heard Edward's proposal, but it's okay to have a familiar and trusted talent like Zhao Beifeng. Yi Xuan is always wary of him for this guy in front of him. And the feeling of distrust. The two people have never met before, let alone deal with each other. The temperament shown by Edward alone is a feeling of distrust, and he always seems to be calculating others. Cooperating with this kind of person is still avoided. Therefore, after Yi Xuan asked what he was doing, he was already thinking about how to refuse in order to appear very graceful.
Edward also seemed to see Yi Xuan's resistance, and immediately continued: "Don't react so much. I ask you if you have played the game World of Warcraft, right?"
Yi Xuan nodded, and said to his heart what are you doing so far.
"Then think about it carefully, like this kind of game where there are two camps for players to choose, in the final stage of each version, is there a neutral force to guide them together against the most powerful enemy
In the original World of Warcraft, there is a silver dawn.
In the burning expedition, there is a coalition of broken suns.
In the Wrath of the Lich King, there are the Argent Crusade.
In the following versions, there are similar organizations.
Fearing that Yi Xuan would not want to think about it, Edward immediately cited a few more obvious examples.
Yi Xuan nodded hesitantly again, and at the same time seemed to understand what Edward meant.
Edward looked at Yi Xuan and nodded, and immediately continued: "The reason why this happens is mainly because in this kind of game of two camp players, although there are two player forces, there is only one ultimate enemy. In order to be able to To coordinate the balance of the two player camps on the plot, there must be such a neutral force as a lubricant.
In addition, this neutral force has another use, and that is to provide prestige rewards. In the later stages of each version, the prestige of this neutral force is the most important thing. If players want to become strong, they must rush. "
"What you mean is that the two of us unite to build such a power." Yi Xuan asked hesitantly. Although he knew that Edward was very ambitious, he did not expect to have such a bold idea. Although he and Zhao Beifeng planned for the shadow forces. Things, but the main purpose is to improve one's own strength, never thought of making a contribution in this game.
What's more, the other neutral force that straddles the two forces may be due to his personal relationship. From the beginning, he only considered the empire players and subconsciously placed the alliance players on the opposing side. However, after hearing what Edward said, he realized that even if the alliance and the empire were hostile, he did not have the opportunity to start. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Edward's proposal was feasible. The idea that Edward's face was treacherous was immediately ignored by Yi Xuan instinctively.
As Edward said, in World of Warcraft, such a neutral organization can be said to be the most affordable. If you can become one of the founders of this organization, then it will definitely be of great benefit. However, on the surface of Yi Xuan, he still looked bitter and enmity. After thinking about it for a while, he reluctantly said, "In principle, I can agree to your proposal, but how did you plan? Can we be sure that we can succeed?" Based on the advantages of our two neutral NPCs, it is a bit too sloppy. He wants to know what the theoretical basis for Edward's thinking is.
As soon as Edward heard this, he showed a smug look again, gesticulating and explained: "When entering this game, all of us were divided into three camps, namely: monster camp, NPC camp, and neutral NPC like us. Those who are classified as NPCs will be directly assigned to two camps by the system, either the alliance or the empire. In this way, they have a big problem. The NPC and the empire of the alliance are hostile by default. Status, and vice versa. In this case, it is simply impossible for them to establish a neutral force and unite the players of the two camps.
However, the two of us are different. The two of us are born neutral NPCs, which means that we can interact with them no matter in the empire or in the alliance. I think this is why the system has a neutral NPC.
Although, because of our racial identity, you are in the Empire and I am in the Alliance, but in fact this line of distinction is not very clear. You are still just a neutral NPC in the alliance, and even if I go to the Empire, the situation will not be any worse than the alliance, so the two of us are almost the people designated by the system who will unify the player power, don't you think? "
Yi Xuan hadn't thought about his analytical perspective, but from the actual point of view, his remarks basically had no specific plan, so Yi Xuan grinned and shrugged noncommittal.
However, Edward seemed to be immersed in his own reverie, and said excitedly: "We now each have a certain influence in the camp. As long as the two of us are united, we can use this to succeed. Yes. Don't you think?"
"Calm down first." Yi Xuan pressed Edward and pressed his hand. Basically, Yi Xuan had accepted Edward's plan, and he was indeed very excited, but Edward's thoughts were more like a mirage and there was no specific plan at all.
"I have to say that you consider the problem from a very special perspective, and your analysis is indeed correct. But I think what you think is still too simple. And without a specific implementation plan, enthusiasm is not enough to do things."
Edward seemed to want to refute, and was stopped by Yi Xuan's gestures, and continued: "The first and most serious point is that the influence of the two of us in our respective camps is probably not as strong as you need in your plan. This must It took a period of improvement. And our current templates are both neutral hero templates. It's okay to run a small regional force at this level. It's not enough to talk about fighting the ultimate enemy. Although when the time comes, , Mainly depends on the player to fight, we just need to behave. But to behave is also a matter of strength! Before, I played against a boss-level monster, and it was very difficult to win. This is only the BOSS-level Monsters, if they are the ultimate BOSS-level monsters, there is no way to fight.
Although Yi Xuan's remarks completely shocked Edward, Edward also heard that Yi Xuan still agreed with his plan, so he showed a look of inquiry: "So what do you mean...?"
"So what I mean is, this plan of yours can be our final plan, but before that, the two of us must first enhance our respective strengths and expand our influence. The most down-to-earth way is to first put our respective camps in the territory. Clean up the power of monsters, accumulate enough reward points, and improve the template. If possible, it is best to reach the template of the world’s master or legendary hero. The other is our reputation among the players, as long as the player’s With high prestige, and more players supporting us, the system will pay more attention to us. At that time, we will establish what you call neutral forces and it will be twice the result with half the effort."
Edward thought for a while and nodded earnestly: "You are right. My plan is a bit too hasty. Then, if we say this, we will have to wait until we have cleaned up the monster forces in our respective areas before we talk about cooperation? "
Yi Xuan nodded, "All the words before that were just empty talk. But before that, we have to make preparations and first determine the tone of the story."
"What story?" Edward asked strangely.
"Of course it’s the origin of our neutral forces. Don’t say you haven’t thought about this question. Who is the enemy we are fighting against? Why do we unite? What is the meaning of this battle? How will you be with the players then? Explain, these must be confessed in advance! Otherwise, the players will converge, oh, okay, you fight the Oriental Dragon, I fight the Western Giants, it’s not justified."
Yi Xuan was talking lively, Edward's face was blue and red, and he said with a slight embarrassment: "I haven't considered this."
"That won't work, we must first plan a plot line, and gradually penetrate in the process of fighting with the player. After all, the two of us were still in a hostile state before. If we really want to unite, we must give the player a reason. Okay! And it can't be too abrupt."
Edward nodded quickly and agreed. He had only thought of the plan to use neutral forces to gain benefits. It had no theoretical tone, but he didn't think much about the specific operation content. I didn't expect the Asian man in front of him to have such a careful thinking. He was much smarter than he had imagined, and even his attitude towards Yi Xuan suddenly changed a bit. The elegance and innocence just now disappeared.
"But." Edward agreed, "but I can't make up stories."
"It's okay, you're not good at it, I'm good at it." Yi Xuan said with a big deal. This kind of thing is easy for him. He used to stay at home reading novels, playing games, and editing. Isn't it simple for a plot script or something? Haven't eaten pork and watched pigs go
