Chapter 136: A friendly reminder

"I want to continue following Ask," she replied.

Apirius keenly heard that she didn't "want to be a mercenary" but wanted to "follow Ask", and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked with a smile:

"His ability is not bad, but he is on the wrong track."

"Mercenaries are a career with no future. They wander around the world without a fixed place to stay, relying on wars in various places to make a living. Sooner or later, they will be unacceptable to the lords of various places."

"The lords only see mercenaries as a temporary source of military reinforcement. Once the military construction in the territory is complete, they will regard mercenaries as a serious threat to public security."

"The demonic tide is about to rise, and the extraordinary people will soon appear on the secular stage. According to the historical conventions of each era, the lords and nobles will merge with the high-level extraordinary people and eventually form a stable extraordinary ruling class. At that time, mercenaries will have no place to stay."

"What you need to do is to settle down as soon as possible, and use the power and resources of Olympia to steadily improve your own rank. This way, even if the demonic tide rises rapidly and new forces continue to rise, you can still rely on your own strength to maintain your existing power and status."

"Instead of following a wandering mercenary and dying in a remote corner without anyone knowing."

Ask was listening nearby, not making any comment but laughing secretly in his heart.

This idea of Apirius represented a very popular genre among players in the previous life, namely the "farming genre".

The essence of "farming" is not to explore various ruins and mutation copies, go to the battlefield to absorb extraordinary powers and brush attributes, but to interact with the NPC camp, improve the reputation and strength of the camp, and use the improved status to finally reap the benefits.

Compared to the orthodox sword and magic adventure flow of players, although the farming flow was weak in the early stage and only started to gain momentum in the later stage, it is also deeply loved by RPG role-playing enthusiasts.

However, starting from version 7, the game company planned to transform into e-sports, so various gameplays encouraging PvP in the game were introduced, and PvE gameplay was greatly weakened.

The most typical example is the demigod rank. In order to encourage everyone to quickly level up and improve their skills, the planner made a setting that "the strength of this magic tide is unprecedented", which led to a significant enhancement of the demigod rank.

This is how the famous saying on the forum "Below demigod, we are all mortals" came about. It means that once you reach the demigod level, it will be basically difficult for you to be killed by ordinary people who are not at the demigod level.

Therefore, the shortcoming of the slow progress of farming players is exposed: you work hard to farm and develop your power, while others have already been promoted to demigod.

You have thousands of troops, but they can be destroyed with just one punch.

You are in a high position and have great power, but others can destroy you with just one punch.

You may rule the world, but others can destroy it with one punch.

Of course, "one punch to kill" is just an exaggeration, but that's the meaning. Similar sayings include "killing people and setting fires to win the gold belt, but working hard to farm is eliminated" and so on.

"Grandpa." Sheila said calmly, "If I stay here, can you help me revive the East Solomon Empire?"

Apirius was stunned when he heard this, but he could not say anything.

As the strength of the Seljuk Empire has surfaced recently, anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if the demonic tide comes again, it will be difficult for the East Solomon Empire to revive, as the number of extraordinary beings and demigods on the opposite side is no less than that on Sirius' side.
