Players’ NPC daddy

Chapter 1504 Interlocking
The player who was planning to enter the teleportation tower directly was stopped by Lord Aarhus. He was not angry, but rather happy.

You can't meet a lord-level character whenever you want. Sometimes, even if you take the initiative to say hello, you will only get a polite response. But now he was actually stopped.

Does that mean I'll get some special mission?
The player was a little excited, but Lord Aarhus reminded him that he had to pay to use the teleportation tower.

"Pay? Pay...pay?"

The player pinched his chin, looking as if he didn't understand. At first glance, it seemed like he was playing dumb, but he really didn't understand.

If you change to any other game and you have to pay to use the teleportation tower to teleport between different areas, you will definitely be criticized.

But he quickly realized that the person in front of him was an NPC, and the so-called payment was not paying with real money, but using game props.

"Eh - I actually have to pay for it? I've always been able to use [Hermes' Traveling Cap] for free." The player stretched out his voice, somewhat unhappy.

If a service that has always been free suddenly requires payment, you will feel uncomfortable even if you don’t care about the money.

"How could it be!?" Hailin couldn't help but make a sound. She remembered that the transmission tower network of [Hermes' Travel Hat] was quite expensive, and it could even be said to be one of the main sources of income for [Hermes' Travel Hat].

Is this stranger planning to lie and get it for free because he doesn't want to pay?
Impossible, the stranger's current reaction is really somewhat dissatisfied.

Is that the [Hermes' Traveling Hat] that allows strangers to use the teleportation tower for free?

That's impossible. [Hermes's Traveling Hat] is not a philanthropist, and will not compromise under the power of the stranger. In addition, the stranger uses the teleportation tower quite frequently, an average of more than ten times a day, so it would be a loss if it did not charge a fee.

While Hailin was brainstorming, the player looked over, his hand subconsciously on the weapon at his waist.

Although there is no notification of any game activities and although Hermes' Traveling Hat has not issued any statement, players have to find the game content themselves.

For example, isn’t it a bit strange that there is only one large guild of commerce, [Hermes’ Traveling Hat], in this world, while there are a large number of kingdom and city-state forces.

At this time, you should use your curiosity to take the initiative to look for answers and ask questions.

After searching and asking, the hidden mission appeared. It turned out that before the appearance of [Hermes' Traveling Hat], it was the groups called chaebols that controlled the market economy and made the common people suffer.

Players don't even have to guess what will happen, just ask the civilians and they will understand the situation thoroughly.

Ordinary people know clearly what the bad guys who once bullied them will do.

[Hermes' Traveling Hat] If this businessman who is kind to everyone is gone, won't those bad guys come back?
This is a rare opportunity to improve your reputation by doing bad things as long as you don't go too far.

So is the woman screaming in front of me one of those hidden bad guys?
"She is just an ordinary front desk clerk. Today is her first day at work. She doesn't understand the reason." Lord Aarhus took the initiative to explain, "If possible, you can explain to her why you can use the teleportation tower of [Hermes's Travel Hat] without paying."

"Really? That can't be helped." The player let go of his weapon and began to fumble around. Finally, he took out a parchment scroll from his waist and placed it in front of Hailin's counter. "It's true that the teleportation tower of [Hermes's Travel Hat] requires a fee, but as long as you accept the bounty commission, you can use it for free."

"Free indefinitely!?"

"It's said to be unlimited and free, but in fact, bounty commissions will expire. If you accept a commission and fail to complete it within the limited time, you will be punished by having your reputation reduced." The player explained patiently.

"So we, the strangers, usually habitually accept a commission and then use the teleportation tower. However, during major events or large-scale activities, the teleportation tower is free to use."

After this explanation, the player paid the fee to use the teleportation tower.

As expected, the stranger was quite generous in paying for the use of the teleportation tower, but Hailin felt that something was wrong. She secretly peeked at a huge corner of the [Hermes' Traveling Hat].

[Hermes's Traveling Hat] does not monopolize certain commodities, but monopolizes [life]. Some places seem to have nothing to do with [Hermes's Traveling Hat], but they are connected together through one service after another.

One of them is that you can use the teleportation tower for free by collecting the bounty.

Strangers do not care about the cost of using the teleportation tower, but they use the teleportation tower very frequently. They do not like to go to the front desk to pay every time they use the teleportation tower, not to mention the astonishing number of strangers. Once they have to queue, they will have negative emotions.

As long as there is a commission, the bounty can be used for free. Strangers will undoubtedly accept a commission for convenience. This is the chain benefit generated by [Hermes' Travel Hat].

Although the teleportation tower network is free, the profits are placed on the rewards of commissioned bounties.

If it is a bounty commissioned by [Hermes's Traveling Hat] itself, then the stranger's ability to solve their problems is itself the best reward. If it is another commission, such as a commission from a kingdom or a family, [Hermes's Traveling Hat] can charge a handling fee, which is much higher than the fee paid for using the teleportation tower network several times.

Not only that, this free policy is provided by [Hermes' Travel Hat] as an intermediary platform to various forces to recruit foreigners.

There is no need to say much about the power of strangers. Even if you have never experienced it, just by looking at others you will know how convenient it is. You don’t have to worry about anything, the strangers will complete the task perfectly.

Hailin had cold sweat on her face. Many people, including her, believed that [Hermes' Travel Hat] used the teleportation tower network to make a profit. In fact, the teleportation tower network connected everything closely together.

What is even more solid than the teleportation tower network is the reputation among the common people. Strangers will choose to trust and accept the rules of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] because of the common people's good impression of [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

“No wonder [Hermes’ Traveling Hat] had no reaction. It turns out that we had no chance to intervene at all.” Hailin sat back, holding his forehead with both hands, and smiled bitterly.

"How much these guys would have sacrificed to get to this point."

"You must have paid a lot." Lord Aarhus turned his head and said, "I heard from strangers that this is called a complete collection, a full favorability party, so it is impeccable."
