Chapter 2010 Relax

"Activity?"

Greenland frowned, not because she had any objection to Blazer, who had proposed the idea, but because it was an instinctive reaction to an unexpected situation that had occurred in her detailed schedule.

"May I ask you why?"

In her view, the training is progressing smoothly and in a structured manner. While it may not be possible to achieve the goal quickly, at least there shouldn't be any unexpected incidents.

"Because it's too boring."

Blaze shrugged; this was what he had learned from the reports, or rather, the complaints, of the heroic warriors.

A novice outsider following the Greenland-planned strategy will indeed encounter no problems, but it doesn't take into account the executor's condition during actual progress.

Because the novice strangers have multiple classes that are not yet at their maximum level, they need a lot of experience points to level up. Therefore, they spend most of their time fighting and hunting monsters under the guidance of heroic warriors.

In this process, due to the need for experience points, it is inevitable that heroic warriors will take them to repeatedly hunt monsters that are "more cost-effective". After a few days, not to mention the novice strangers, even the heroic warriors are going to be sick of it.

The heroic warriors are indeed warlike, but their battles are for the pursuit of glory, not for actual killing. After several days of intense, efficient, and almost non-stop hunting, their warlike nature has been cured.

Besides the heroic warriors, the problems with the novice strangers should not be underestimated, and may even be more serious.

At first, after venting their stress, they would still feel a sense of novelty and excitement when challenging monsters, but after a few days of high-intensity battles, their eyes would become lifeless and numb, giving them a feeling of "when a hobby becomes an excessive amount of work".

Although there seem to be no problems now, once you obtain an advanced profession in the second phase, you will need more experience points and longer periods of high-intensity hunting. These potential problems will become more serious and eventually erupt.

"I see... This is indeed a problem I overlooked."

Greenland pinched her brow in exasperation; she had almost forgotten the difference between professional gamers and ordinary gamers.

Many people believe that the biggest difference between professional gamers and ordinary gamers is their amazing reaction speed. However, this kind of speed, which is a physical talent, is not the decisive factor. Many amateur gamers are no worse than professional gamers in terms of reaction speed alone.

The real difference is that for professional gamers, playing games is their job.

Since it's a job, it involves countless tedious repetitive operations. Whether it's training tactical awareness or practicing new moves, professional gamers have to play games even more than the 996 work schedule.

For Greenland, the repetitive hunting and monster-slaying experience that novice players are currently going through is nothing more than a trivial matter, and she doesn't even consider it a potential problem.

"So your solution is to hold an event?"

"That's right. I compared the state of the newbie strangers with that of the strangers who participated in the preparation activities during the Nemean Giants campaign. The intensity of the strangers' activity during the Nemean Giants campaign preparation activities was several times higher than that of the newbie strangers now, but they did not show the slightest sign of fatigue."

Recalling the preparations for the Nemean Giants campaign, Blaze's lips twitched involuntarily. He had been helping out at the Fire Rabbit Forge back then and had almost worked himself to death.

"The difference lies in two points: one is initiative, which is the main thing that outsiders should do."

"Yeah, that's right."

Greenland listened intently with her arms crossed, agreeing with Blaze's assessment. After all, it was the first unlimited lottery; even if it meant death, they had to use all their tickets to exchange for materials. "But I'm afraid there's no way to solve that."

“I think that’s secondary; the important thing is the second point.” Blazer held up a second finger and wagged it. “Sociality.”

"social contact?"

Greenland paused for a moment, lost in thought about the mysteries of the universe. She began to understand the meaning of each stroke of the word "social," and then looked at Blaise as if she were looking at an enemy from an opposing class.

"You're a social butterfly."

"A 'real-life person'? That's a strange way of putting it."

Strangers often say strange things, so Blazer responded briefly before continuing, "Newbie Strangers only deal with monsters. From the moment they arrive here, they do only two things: rest by the campfire and hunt monsters. They don't talk to anyone, they don't think at all, and we provide them with all their equipment."

"Even metal will break from repeated bending, let alone a living person. And to be honest, even though I'm their trainer, I've hardly ever seen them."

"That's... true."

Greenland thinks that makes a lot of sense. After all, the biggest selling point and core of such games is the interaction and communication of data. Simply grinding monsters is a wrong way of doing things.

"That's why I wanted to arrange an event in the orc territory to slow down their pace by making contact with them. Actually, it could be done anywhere else, but I feel like the newbies in the foreign lands don't seem to particularly want to see [people]."

"This is what it's like to be a corporate slave."

"Really?" Blazer's lips twitched. "Corporate slave"—what a terrifying word. It seems that no matter how twisted and bizarre the phenomenon, it can be explained by these two words.

"In short, the event I'm planning won't conflict with your plans. The goal is still to defeat the savage orcs, but the scope will be larger, and the newcomers to the foreign lands will have more freedom. They'll be able to interact with more orcs, go further afield, and enjoy peace and quiet in places where they're all alone."

“That’s a good idea, but time…” Greenland hesitated, gripping the staff.

"To drift left, you have to turn left and then turn the steering wheel to the right, right?" Blaze chuckled, turning his head to look at the beautiful Giant Hoof tribe.

"Maybe by slowing down and taking a longer route, we can see and gain more."

"Really? In my words, well, when it comes to talking, how could I possibly win against a classic shonen manga protagonist like you?"

Greenland shrugged, perhaps relieved of some burden, and leaned against the massive door of the shrine, gazing at the distant natural scenery.

"Let me make this clear first: I've arranged this tight schedule to ensure Asgard's victory. If your activities cause the players to lose in terms of level or class structure, don't blame me."

Blazer smiled easily.

"Even if Asgard loses in the end, it has at least helped the orcish territory solve many problems, and that result is enough."
