Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

Forum notice: "The limited-time NPC traveling merchant team stationed in the tavern is about to embark on a journey (countdown 11:59:00). Players are asked to seize the opportunity to purchase and sell goods. The next traveling merchant will arrive approximately one month into the game. Later. Limited-time NPCs may appear randomly in the game, please take advantage of the opportunity.”

This sudden notice was broadcast three times on the game forum and the official channel in the game, making online and offline players nervous.

"Are the officials so immoral? The strategy post just recommended buying spices."

"Hurry up and buy it! If it's too late, you won't have a chance."

"It makes sense. The previous plot said that the traveling merchants were only taking a temporary break in the village, and their business routes have not yet been completed."

"When can I run a business?"

"Morning, right? What can be sold in this shabby village now?"

"Wake up, it's only been a few days since the server was launched? We haven't even left the Novice Village yet, so how can we run a business? Are we selling barbecue?"

"The barbecue has been damaged a long time ago, right? It's a trade route that traveling merchants need to travel for a month. It takes five or six days to get to the next city, right?"

Although it was daytime on a working day, there were still many players online. As soon as they saw the notification, they rushed to the tavern and exchanged all their money for spices. There were also many players who were offline who took the time to come up and buy a wave of goods to leave. , there was an uproar both online and offline for a while.

Mo Yu, who was brutally stabbed by a traveling merchant (but actually didn't lose much), came to the Adventurer's Guild with his wounded heart in mind. He first asked Leah to upgrade the function of the magic doll, adding the function of automatically detecting the contamination value of items. , while he sat in the small room and sighed longly: "Poor, so poor!"

It is said that you have to rely on mountains and rivers to survive. He started with a lonely tower and a ruined village in the wilderness, with no one to ask for but no food, and only an unlucky monster in a dark forest to collect. Even with the World Elf (incomplete version) as his backer, Mo Yu always felt like he could not make ends meet and would go bankrupt at any time.

"There is no complete career system, and there are no professional mentor NPCs other than magicians. The physical profession can use any weapon, but there is not even a single skill. The initial equipment issued are all novice swords... If the virtual VR experience is not enough Well, I’m afraid the players will have their homes demolished a long time ago.”

Mo Yuchou's head was bald, "Fortunately, this is the early stage of the internal beta version. It doesn't matter if the career planning is not in place. It can be said that the players have not found the mission NPC... But this cannot be delayed for too long. If it is delayed for too long, the players will definitely make trouble. Yes. Leah, does anyone in the village know how to use a bow and arrow?"

"Uncle Delka is a hunter by profession and is good at bow and arrow." Leah replied.

"Oh, that's the uncle who took care of the children." Mo Yu recalled, "Let's update the archer professional instructor first."

Uncle Delka was tanning animal hides in the backyard of his house, and Mo Yu immediately arranged for the tanner to be a tanner in his mind - a physics career mentor and a life career mentor. Yes, this is a good deal.

"Me? Teach the adventurers bows and arrows?" Uncle Delka pointed at himself in surprise: "And tanning?"

"Maybe you can also make bows and arrows." Mo Yu glanced at the wooden bow that Uncle Delka placed by the wall, "If you can."

"No, no, no." Uncle Delka waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just an ordinary hunter. I usually go into the forest to hunt. How can I talk about bow and arrow? I can't teach you either?!"

Mo Yu picked up the bow and arrow and handed it to the uncle. He picked up a piece of wood and drew a bull's-eye with yellow clay, then placed it on the stone table in the yard. "Would you like to shoot an arrow?"

With a look of helplessness, Uncle Delka retreated to the end of the yard, set up his bow and shot an arrow. He heard a whooshing sound, and the wooden arrow was firmly inserted into the bullseye of the wooden board.

Leah prompted: "The skill template has been successfully recorded: Archer skill [Penetrating Yang with a Hundred Steps] lv1."

——It’s done!

Mo Yu was overjoyed and opened the system background: [A Hundred Steps to Pierce the Yang] lv1: The basic skill of an archer, able to hit the target with one arrow. Skill effect: Hit rate 100%.

"Okay, okay, I finally have the skills." Mo Yu said happily, "Uncle Delka, you just need to sit at the door of your house for a while with your bow on your back every morning. If an adventurer comes to talk to you, you can Just tell them you are a hunter and can teach them how to use a bow and arrow.

"For those who are willing to learn bow and arrow from you, you can sell them a pair of bows and arrows, and then perform the archery skills just now in front of them, and then you can ask the adventurers to bring you three rabbits as reward.

"By the way, now adventurers can purify the pollution of monsters, and you can also ask them to provide you with uncontaminated rabbit meat. I added the function of detecting item contamination to the magic doll of the Adventurer Guild to get the purified meat. Please be sure to test it again with the magic doll in the future.”

"Purified meat?" Uncle Delka said in shock, "Can it really purify pollution? Can we eat meat with confidence in the future?"

"As long as you do a test before eating to ensure that the meat has not been contaminated again, you should be fine." With systematic supervision, Mo Yu is not afraid of players fishing in troubled waters and passing off substandard products. If someone wants to try his own way, he can perform a "Do you have an account" on the spot? .

Under the dual temptation of free rabbit skins and purified rabbit meat, Uncle Delka immediately agreed to serve as a professional tutor for archers and tanners. However, making bows and arrows is a family craft, and he was unwilling to teach him. He was only willing to sell elementary wooden bows and arrows. .

Finally, a professional mentor was added. Mo Yu was very satisfied and did not bother about making bows and arrows. He asked Uncle Delka to tell the villagers about purifying meat and repeatedly emphasized that it must be tested with magic puppets before eating. Then he left.

——As long as I don’t do temporary maintenance, I won’t fix bugs. As for the lack of professional mentors? That’s because the players didn’t find clues and the plot was not pushed to the right place.

After all, this is a highly intelligent and realistic PC with full freedom and high-intelligence "AI". How can you blame the planner if the plot is not triggered?

However, you have to make a bulletin board. It’s too troublesome to always have him running around to notify people of something. Players can still use the system, but villagers can only use local methods. Mo Yu touched his chin and posted a task to build a bulletin board on the task board. Soon, several strong players came to take over the task and went to the Dark Forest to cut trees.

"It’s much more convenient to do things with players." Mo Yu walked around the village and finally returned to the Mage Tower to rest.

Now the village is in ruins, but the players have a lot of energy and enthusiasm that they have nowhere to vent, and he has a lot of adventure coins and unlimited regional reputation. Whether he asks players to forge iron, chop trees or farm, there will be a group of players rushing to do it.

But the game is to find things for players to do. If the players are too idle, it is easy to get into trouble.

As the number of players summoned by Mo Yu increases and the "game content" opened increases, the content that can be operated on the player panel on his g background has also increased a lot: not only can you see where the players are doing what, but you can also remotely specify players to issue tasks and rewards, check the number of adventure coins circulating in the market, etc., etc.... Even Leah thoughtfully made a weekly analysis report for him to review.
