Great time travel

Chapter 45, Paradise of Hypocrisy

On the roof of a sentry box outside Kahn Village, several kitten people of different colors were lazily lying there like real cats, overlooking the village because they received free gifts of food, and they were extremely happy for a while. People couldn't help showing a mocking smile.

"... Meow! What a bunch of stupid fellows! They are so happy to lose their way for such a poor little favor. Don't they know the reason why wool comes from sheep? It is used to buy these foods Coins, maybe they are their original savings, meow!"

The raccoon cat thief Ma Tong, who appeared as a cat in this world, muttered while eating small dried fish to replenish his physical strength.

As one of the planners involved in this operation to buy people's hearts, she knew very well that the Lich King Ainz's purchase of food for the residents of Karn Village all came from the fortress city that had been reduced to the city of death.Rantil, every coin was unearthed by the undead creatures from the ruins filled with the smell of corpses—in fact, Ainz planned to directly build the city of the fortress out of consideration of saving money at the beginning.The food in Lantil City was moved out and distributed to these refugees.Unexpectedly, after some inspection, it was discovered that because of the erosion of the undead miasma, it was originally hoarded in Ye.The food in Lantel City has been generally polluted and deteriorated, and it is no longer suitable for living people to eat, otherwise there will be a danger of poisoning, so I resignedly gave up.

Therefore, although in the process of purchasing this batch of food, the cunning grain merchants on the Bajas Empire charged a high price, and the cost of transporting the food overland from such a long distance by horse-drawn cart was also exaggerated. The goods are given to residents as welfare.But the purchase cost was originally the sheep's wool, which came from the heritage after the city was destroyed, so no matter how much money was spent, Lich King Ainz didn't feel distressed.

"...you can be called a benevolent monarch if you can give a little bit of the oil and water you exploit to the poor in addition to extortionate taxes!"

Commissar Guo, a Persian cat scholar, said calmly, "...Since ancient times, hasn't the wealth of every country been distributed in this way? The upper class eats meat, and the lower class eats soup, so that society can be stable. People like Ainz This way of doing things can definitely be called high welfare meow. It is enough for a qualified ruler to treat his own people kindly. As for how they were treated when they were not their own people, that is another question. Our side Aren’t the U.S. military and the European Union acting like demons in the Middle East, murdering people, setting fires and throwing bombs, while pretending to be angels delivering food and water to refugees?”

"...What's more, as the saying goes, 'When you get close to vermilion, you get red, and when you get close to ink, you get black'. Look at what kind of guys are there in the Great Tomb of Nazarick? Liches, demons, cockroaches, insect warriors, vampires... The evil value is higher than the other, and there are many cats who like to eat people and kill people. And whether they eat people or not, they all look down on the weak humans in this world and regard them as low-level creatures, let alone kill people. Even massacres are not a big deal meow. No matter how pure Lich King Ainz's nature is, how can he be kind after a long time under the influence of these evil people?"

Wang Meiling, Wang Qiu's mother, who logged into the other world with the Sanhuamao Priest account, casually continued, "...Now this Lich King's thinking may still have some residues of being a human being. But After a while, it is estimated that there will really be only the fan of the evil big devil?"

"...Well, in fact, if you want to play politics, you have to be evil meow. If you follow the judgment method in the board game, in the history of human civilization, most of the rulers who can be called talented and bold are probably in the lawful and evil camp. .As the Italian politician Machiavelli described in the famous book "The Prince". A qualified ruler should be as cunning as a fox and fierce as a lion, but the result of letting a good old man take power will most likely lead to A catastrophe. Of course, there are quite a few rulers who belong to the good camp, but most of them are like Song Xianggong or **********, who are evaluated as naive and romantic, accomplish nothing, and even harm A fool who harms others, meow. Because the political circle is the cruelest, if a person swears to do good in everything, once he is among many unkind people, he will be destroyed meow."

Political Commissar Guo commented, "...If you think about it carefully, although many things are based on our suggestions, our protagonist, Mr. Anz, has been strictly following the essence of the viewpoint of "The Monarch" recently. Meow! For example: "Crime should be done at one time, so that the people will suffer less losses and reduce their grievances; and favors should be given bit by bit, so that the people can better appreciate the taste of grace." "Monarch Be sure to delegate responsibility to others, and keep to yourself the business of bounty, and be a great liar and hypocrite. At the same time, you must tolerate the cruelty and greed of the army.''A wise prince, whenever he has the opportunity, will One should set up certain enemies strangely in order to subdue them and make oneself greater.'... Should it be said that Machiavelli's ideas have also been carried forward in other worlds?"

"...Ahem, everyone, the most important topic of our discussion right now should not be Lich King Ainz's Imperial Studies, right meow?"

Wang Qiu, the tabby cat, was looking at his personal game panel with a sad face, silently calculating his points, "...recently, the increase of reward points has been getting slower and slower. Half of it, meow! Do you have any ideas, meow?"

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

——As I said before, in order to rescue the fifteen newcomers trapped in this plot world, based on the escape points of 75 reward points per person, Wang Qiu and the rescuers had to gather an astronomical figure of 7 reward points ...In order to accomplish this almost impossible task, they racked their brains to reverse the main line of the plot, obliterated the adventurer's journey of the protagonist, and frantically set off a natural disaster of the undead that did not exist in the original book, messing up the plot. The world was turned upside down, and the reward points gushed out violently like a volcanic eruption.However, when the No.35 trapped person was rescued last month, that is to say, after earning [-] points successively, the growth rate of reward points began to slow down significantly.Until now, the reward points after being cleared have not been restored to [-] points, and it is still far away from the [-] points for rescuing the next person.

In this way, they will have to carry out more intense destruction in this world in order to change the plot and earn points.

However, it is temporarily impossible to further expand the war between the undead and humans.The high-end combat power of the Great Tomb of Nazarick is certainly invincible in the universe, but the number of low-level zombies, skeleton soldiers, goblins, devil cockroaches, and liches is limited. After deducting the minimum manpower left behind at the main base, the undead that can be pulled out to fight The total force is only about 2.Even with the horror lord's demon cockroaches and the undead creatures summoned and tamed locally in this world, the frontline coach Demon Gentleman Demiurge only has more than [-] troops, and if there are more, the command will fail.

Of course, it is not impossible to continue to tap the potential to increase troops. For example, in the hands of the Lich King Ainz, there is a horn that can summon five thousand goblin legions. In the library of the Great Tomb of Nazarick There are also many magic scrolls about group summoning.

But for Ainz, who was cautious by nature, dispatching so many undead creatures and several guild guardians and powerful NPCs to fight was already a big gamble.As for the old Wo Nazarick Great Tomb, no matter what, you must reserve enough garrison troops just in case, and you must not take out the troops.No matter how hard the deception experts organized by the central government are, they can't completely make him dance with his baton.

If Wang Qiu and the other "foreign players" find places to earn points by themselves, those small-scale ambushes and sneak attacks may be okay, but if you want to engage in city sieges and national wars, it will be very difficult to play large-scale dungeons. The key problem is also a serious shortage of troops.

After all, even if there is a server transformed from "Book of Time Traveling", there are only twenty player numbers in total who can cheat to reach the full level with cheats.For the rest, you have to slowly accumulate experience and equipment from the first-level rookie, even if you want to recharge your money to become a RMB player!In fact, recently, Wang Qiu and the others, these tough cats, have been fighting monsters in the big forest near Kaen Village to collect points, and now they have almost wiped out all kinds of monsters in this area, and there are no points. Depressing puzzles that can be played - 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 reproduce so many in a few dozen days.

Of course, this forest is so vast, there are still wild monsters to spawn in the distance.For example, in the fourth volume of the original "Overlord 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.But the problem is that this lizardman tribe is not only far away, but also has a population of tens of thousands. Just a few dozen kittenmen, goblins, slimes or iron golems can't deal with it at all. There was a risk of drawing the enraged Lizardmen warriors back to Karn's village by drawing fire on them.As for the dwarf towns and elf tribes farther away, if there is no large army to open the way and transport supplies, the few twenty cats don't even know how to walk through the forest.

"...The current situation is already obvious meow. In order to meet the increasingly anxious urging of the higher authorities, we must further accelerate the scoring in this world. But Lich King Ainz can no longer fool around - this guy has always been Timid, even the current battle situation is progressing too fast, I am afraid that one unlucky person will be dragged away, and it is simply impossible for him to spread the rest of his troops to kill the Quartet.

If we just rely on ourselves to score points, there is no risk in playing wild monsters, but the rate of earning points is too slow with too little oil and water.If you switch to a large-scale dungeon with rich oil and water, high-end combat power is no problem, but without the cooperation of low-level miscellaneous soldiers, it still won't work, meow! "

Seeing that other people couldn't come up with any ideas, and after carefully studying the current situation, Wang Qiu concluded this way to everyone, and then came up with a bad idea, "...in this case, let's violently Soldiers! Anyway, there are not many other things in China, but there are too many people!"

"... violent soldiers? Hey, how do you plan to put troops into this world, meow? For us, this fantasy world is just an online game. Even if there are 100 million PLA uncles and an aircraft carrier battle group, don't you? Can it still be delivered?" Ma Tong asked.

"...But as long as we have that unusual server, we can allow 100 million players to create character accounts in another world, meow!"

Wang Qiu raised his eyebrows, "...Although there are still some confidentiality issues to be resolved, this is not a big problem..."

Everyone suddenly realized, but immediately discovered the loopholes in this idea:
"...The premise is that there are so many people willing to play!" Wang Meiling, the old mother who was a hardcore World of Warcraft player in the past, pointed out the biggest drawback, "...according to the experience during this period, I really don't want to play it." Think how much fun this game is!"

"...If it's not interesting enough, let's make up for it with money, meow! How many people in the world work for fun, meow?"

Wang Qiu smiled, "...so much investment has been spent before. The central government should still be able to provide such a special fund. Even if this real alien version of the online game feels bad to play, but As long as you are willing to put money in, there should still be people who will come to play!"

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