Lords: From Civilization to the Stars

Players, a kind of life that is not loved by uncles and grandmothers.

In the beginning of the novice period, because of their own immortality, coupled with the appearance of a certain degree of education, and the uncertainty of their own life cognition, they did have a relatively glorious period.

Relying on the fact that they will not die, they cheat, take, and extort. Although they are obviously not strong enough, they can use various despicable behaviors and means to make others surrender. Even when doing business, they will come up with some unstable means to make other businessmen suffer unclear injustice.

However, as time goes by, the understanding between the two sides continues to deepen, and the environment of players begins to deteriorate.

Because they will not die, permanent black room imprisonment has become the mainstream monitoring method. Some extreme areas even lock human heads in black boxes, and after continuous suffocation, use weapons to cut the flesh to create things like meat processing plants. And this kind of thing will not cause much complaint.

The dirty deeds of the players have reached a consensus during this period. The delay in the payment of player wages and the seizure of player industries have become an act that will not be punished by law.

And because the player community has no allegiance to any country or lord, they will naturally not be saved or regarded as citizens.

There are no rights, no interest protection, and no matter what chamber of commerce or environment has problems, the player area will be swept and cleaned up at the first time. Because players are naturally not trusted, they are considered to be pests that can be thrown out.

Especially when players share secrets, almost all populations will not trust even any player. They believe that the knowledge of players is common, so there will be no secrets if the information is leaked.

Educational institutions such as libraries will close their doors to players, and theft and commercial espionage will directly lead to players being imprisoned.

Although the player union and a series of official high-level officials are working hard to promote and try to reverse these negative public opinions, the vast majority of players still treat the world with a gaming mentality. There are countless behaviors such as rummaging through boxes and cabinets, turning their faces and turning away, which has led to the player population being accused and expelled from the country by many countries.

In this environment, it is obvious that the old world is the least impacted. Because they treated the players as useful slaves from the beginning, and never treated them as human beings from the beginning. Players can gather more than a dozen warships by themselves, but it can be seen that no one treats them as human beings.

Even if the players have played a lot of roles, and even some of the last news of Bretonnia was passed on by players, the goodwill they imagined does not exist at all.

The chivalrous expedition is certainly a good ladder for promotion, but the premise is that you must also be a human being.

After returning from the badlands, the Knight King looked at the information about the second sun in the Land of Descendants, and then announced that the existence of the players is more of a natural phenomenon than life. So there is no need to do anything to them, and the promise is effective, but it is the nobleness of the knights.

In this case, their environment can be said to be difficult. Only in the Golden Country, where even swamp monsters can come to trade, can the players feel that they are really alive.

"Ha... At first I thought I could do something big by coming to another world."

Leaning on the railing and looking at the psychic torch that never fell outside the Golden City, feeling the beautiful scenery that seemed to render the entire ocean golden, the player sighed and felt bitter in his heart.

It felt like three days had passed on the ferry before the player arrived at the Golden City. This place is indeed as advertised, and there is no discrimination against the identity of the player. Even the player's entire savings can buy a more than ten square meter apartment on the edge of the mountain in this city, where you can see the beach and the port.

But as the initial excitement passed, for the player, what was left was melancholy.

He used to have a brother team of more than a dozen people in Bretonnia, but since Bretonnia began to be unfriendly to players, his team fell apart. After all, they have to eat, and a large team has no work, so they can only rely on their own abilities.

Fortunately, he was shameless enough in the previous period of time, cheating and doing all kinds of work, and finally got a lot of savings, so he can still spend a relatively leisurely period of time.

But what about after that? What should he do in this golden country after that?

Although the Negative Stars have no discrimination against players, their main city is in the Broken Land of the North Pole, and that area is a war zone. It is said that the Negative Stars and the demons have a deep hatred, and they have been attacking and clashing fiercely with each other, and they will not let players enter the battlefield to cause the front to collapse.

If he lives in the Golden Country, he can't get into the trade fleet where the player official communicates with the Negative Stars. There are only official and top bigwigs there, and they are credible.

He doesn't think those players who explore the surrounding waters and dig for sunken ships and treasures are good enough.

Because he doesn't have enough money to buy a treasure digging ship, but he doesn't think it's appropriate to be a frogman. As for the big player guilds that expand into the interior of Orbion Island, he is not a player in them, and he can't open up player villages.

As a result, he hesitated day by day, and finally, like now, he could only lean on the railing to blow the sea breeze, look at the golden torch, and feel that he was in crisis both in reality and in the other world.

But just when he ate the third squid strip, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Hello, this player."

In the face of the player's lazy questioning, the person outside replied calmly:

"I am a staff member of the Golden Country Negative Star Hall. Now I will start to promote and distribute tasks. Do you need it?"

"Promotion and distribution tasks? What tasks?"

The player opened the door with a puzzled look and saw a golden Negative Star standing outside.

And this tall man with golden lines on his forehead and limbs looked down at the short player and took out a piece of paper from his arms.

"Asu, the leader of the player team who does all kinds of work, has rich work experience and some experience in fighting demons, am I right?"

"Ah, that's right..."

"Here is a job with a relatively high salary that is very suitable for you. If you are interested, you can go to the assembly area on the left side of the city hall to sign up."

"Thank you?"

Looking at the star-negator covered in golden light who handed him the form, nodded and disappeared in an instant, the player looked at the remaining starlight in confusion, and then stared at the words on the form in a daze.

"Outland Expedition Team..."
