Chapter 1086: Costs Gradually Rising
Blaze and Herbie have no way to deal with the upcoming attack by Krampus because they don't know where Krampus is.

As for Odin, he must have known more, but for various reasons he could not tell them and could only let them guess.

"I think... Odin lied." Hebie turned over and supported his head with his hands.

"But his lies are not distortions of the truth, but rather [what he says now is true, but it might have been a lie in the Age of the Gods]."

"I felt the same way, especially the part about the dark side."

Blaze had never seen the previous Odin, but he could tell from some of Odin's behaviors when he was setting up the fruit stall.

The market price of apples had obviously dropped to one copper coin, but he still sold them to him at the old price for a year. What a small bargain. Looking at Loki's appearance and Odin's miserable state, it's not hard to imagine what kind of old bastard Odin was before.

Not to mention the meaning of the name "Odin" itself, which symbolizes anger, madness, and violence. Odin seems to be the symbol of the giant side of the hybrid.

So the dark side mentioned by Odin became interesting.

"I think... maybe the former demon Krapus was the symbol of the godly side of the hybrid, and now that Odin has become the godly side, the demon Krapus has naturally become the giant side."

"That's why the old man looks so guilty. He's so polite."

Hebi smacked her lips. She had no objection to this. After all, Odin had helped her a lot. Now that she thought about it, she had awarded Odin a medal for the best fruit stand in Fast Territory for several years, and even recommended Odin to a more prosperous city.

They were old acquaintances, so why would they be unhappy about old adulthood stuff from the Age of the Gods, not to mention that the evil spirit Krampus became evil because Odin himself had become good.

"Anyway, we can only wait for the evil Krampus to attack."

Blaze propped himself up and took a bird's eye view of the interior structure of the giant Christmas house. When he saw the track built by the stranger, his eyes lit up.

"Oh~ Do you have any ideas?"

"I remember that the profession of the priest series will become [Santa Claus] during this period, right?"

Herbie sat up and put his hands on his temples as he recalled.

"Yes, [Santa Claus] is a very powerful limited-time profession. No matter how basic the priest profession is, or how low the level of the priest profession is, it can be transformed into [Santa Claus] during this period of time."

"According to the intelligence I've seen, most of the third-tier foreigners have obtained a basic clergy profession in order to obtain the Santa Claus profession during this period of time."

"Odin was doing something similar to Santa Claus in the Age of the Gods, and the evil spirit Krampus was Odin's other half, the struggle between the two sides in his heart..."

Blaze imitated the stranger's gesture of recording the picture, and used his index fingers and thumbs to form a picture frame, aiming at the entire giant Christmas house.

"There's something going on, Hebi, we have to release a new event mission!"

……

Penguin's eyes were bloodshot, and he rubbed his face vigorously. There was no breath of life in the whole office. The geniuses turned into corpses after seeing the funding application from the sales department.

The phrase "extreme happiness leads to sorrow" is vividly demonstrated by these geniuses. This is related to peripherals. It is not uncommon to make peripherals for the highly popular buildings or props made by players. The Decisive Battle Fortress in the Giant Snowfield has already entered the production stage, and the sales department has also provided a deluxe version equipped with a ghost ship and Golden Fafnir.

The Christmas Giant House has naturally entered the stage of peripheralization. It was originally just a popular design among the peripherals, but... what is the definition of "popular".

Does 50 likes count? It is quite popular, but what if every design in the Christmas Giant House has so many likes?
The geniuses who announced the peripheralization of the product had not considered this matter, but it is not a big deal at this point. It is even a good thing, as more designs can be made into peripherals.

Later, seeing how popular the Christmas Giant House was, they simply said they wanted to make the entire Christmas Giant House physical.

Up to this point, Penguin didn’t think there was a problem, but they generously offered to give it away for free through a raffle!
Although it is only 5%, the number of players participating in the Christmas Hunting Festival is already frighteningly high, and 5% is also an astonishing number.

Not to mention that players are constantly adding interior decorations, causing the cost of the Christmas Giant House to skyrocket to the point where the geniuses are indistinguishable from corpses.

What’s even more frightening is that not only are the players making a fuss, but the NPCs also join in the fun.

[Limited Time Mission: The Track of Wonderful Christmas Eve]

[Set up tracks in the giant's Christmas house! Let Santa Claus ride on the sleigh and slide on the tracks to bring laughter to the children! ]

Simply put, this task requires players to build an aerial track inside the Christmas Giant House, allowing players to directly ride the track car to any place.

Players have started similar projects before, but this kind of design that occupies public space requires the consent of everyone, so the progress is slow.

The question is, should this aerial track be materialized?
It must be physical, because the entire surrounding area is to show the little people living in the giant's Christmas house. The details of the players' activities, such as using the water stains produced by falling wine glasses as hot springs, are the key points of restoration.

The Christmas railway that players move in this huge house is undoubtedly the focus of the restoration, which also means that the cost is high enough to make the geniuses laugh to death.

"These little bastards." Cook's chest heaved violently, but his expression was pale.

"Why use a rail car when you have a teleportation tower? It's like using a dagger to execute someone when you have a pistol!"

"...Damn it, I really can't refuse!"

Previously, the way players moved around in the Christmas Giant's House was with small teleportation towers, and there were designs for small teleportation towers, like toothbrushes, but they soon got bored.

It would be fine if it was just teleporting over long distances, but using a teleportation tower in a large building and teleporting with just your eyes open and closed always feels a little missing and monotonous.

On the contrary, riding the rail car is very, very interesting.

The speed is determined by yourself, so you can change from a sightseeing cable car enjoying the scenery to a roller coaster in the amusement park at any time, which is extremely exciting.

The most important thing is that with more convenient things happening, people always want to create some trouble for themselves.

The players are happy, the geniuses are happy, but my stomach just hurts.
