Players’ NPC daddy

Chapter 2139 Orc Curse Chapter 01
December 12.31st is a special day. Besides being Christmas, which never seems to offer anything new, it's also the day a masked knight dies.

In Godrock, December 12.31st will be special for both players and NPCs, because the Titan has fallen, falling in the sunrise of the new year and the new day.

The massive body fell with a sound like a giant bell being rung on New Year's Eve, awakening countless sleeping souls.

Unfortunately, this is nothing to celebrate for NPCs.

If it were just the Titan who fell, the whole country, no, the whole world, would be celebrating. But the Titan's body turned to dust and covered the sun, which foreshadowed something ominous, and the newborn sun was shrouded in gloom.

This ominous event soon erupted, with three rivers of blood splitting the world into three parts. The blood of the evil god flowing within them began to erode the entire world, infecting countless monsters and creating even more terrifying Titan hybrids that did not seem to be born naturally. The long-standing calamity worshippers transformed from mere suicide enthusiasts spreading evil beliefs into true heretics.

A natural disaster, which had become commonplace and regarded as an inescapable law of nature, was defeated, but the result was like kicking a hornet's nest, unleashing countless bloodthirsty hornets.

In typical clichéd stories, the person who exposes the wasp nest is often condemned by everyone, but that's a situation deliberately created to create plot conflict and maliciously persecute the protagonist. In normal circumstances, they would be grateful.

The Titans are not some kind of beehive, but a moving scourge. NPCs have various awe-inspiring names for the Titans, as well as many related slang terms and descriptions of their manifestations, such as "greater than rain after the storm."

One of the lines roughly means that the moment the Titans emerge from the horizon and enter your field of vision, your home is doomed to destruction; leave as soon as possible.

The Titan was certainly not a peaceful being. It was not like a lion surveying its land, but rather like a bored person, wandering around in this small world that it could see the end of at a glance.

If you're lucky, it will stay in one place for decades; if you're unlucky, it can wander around endlessly.

As long as the Titans are still around, most towns can hardly be considered towns; they are merely temporary resting places where people must be prepared to move at any time.

In this situation, let alone the people living in peace and contentment, it would be a miracle if they didn't become depressed. Compared to the Titans, both the Ganges' hundred offspring and Titan hybrids are manageable.

In short, the death of the Titans was like pressing a button, causing many enormous changes on the surface, and even more changes behind the scenes.

If the apparent change is the death of the Titan, then the biggest change behind the scenes is the NPCs' increased favorability towards the players. The NPCs have begun to truly accept the players' existence and have started to cautiously try to entrust this peculiar group of players with tasks.

In a distinctive shipwreck tavern in the famous pirate city of Crete, pirates, their faces screaming "I'm a bad guy," watched a group of people from afar as they drank.

A group of oddly dressed people, covered in valuable items, were sitting around a chair. The first rule of survival in this infamous pirate city was to keep your wealth hidden, or you might lose your life at any time.

However, if you participate in the battle against the Titans, you can disregard all the rules of survival.

The pirates restrained their filthy hands, their eyes, hidden in the shadows of their pirate hats, curiously watching the people, who were more alluring than the treasure itself.

They knew the names of these people, or rather, the names of their group.

【Fairy Kingdom】 Although it is called Fairy Kingdom, it does not actually have a base. Therefore, since there is no land to build a guild base, 【Fairy Kingdom】 cannot be considered a guild, but only a hobby group.

What kingdom would lease its land to a madman from another world?

To generalize about an entire group is undoubtedly subjective and biased. However, if this bias is extremely abnormal and provocative, such as nudity or elaborate suicide attempts, then there is really no way to blame others.

In addition, as outsiders who are blessed by everyone, and who level up at a reckless, waterfall-like speed, players are always on guard by various kingdoms. Any kingdom with a little bit of savvy will be wary of players. Only chaotic and criminal places like Crete will readily accept players to gather freely.

Although the pirate shipwreck tavern in Crete City has a great atmosphere, as the guild grows larger and more organized, it is starting to feel like a formal organization. As the guild leader, Kate Cat is beginning to consider whether it is time to build a guild headquarters.

The members who were online and available were gathered around the table, selecting suitable locations for building strongholds and considering their requirements for the guild's appearance.

“We have a friend who has the integrity of an artist. He’s the kind of person who will help out for free if he finds something interesting. We can ask him for help.”

The player, whose face was as ordinary as a passerby but who wore a scholar's robe made of dragon scales and lightning-struck wood, tapped the table with his fingers and offered his idea.

"Isn't that just getting something for free?" Kate Cat, who was quite contract-abiding, frowned.

"Then let him pay us for his labor instead of his wages, so that he won't be working for free."

"also."

"Is that okay?!" Dali Feizhuan, who had no interest in the topic, couldn't help but complain. His dear sister had very smoothly transformed from a conscientious entrepreneur into an unscrupulous merchant.

If his dear parents find out about this, they will definitely come after him, even if he claims that he didn't take her out to play, but that she followed him on her own without making a sound.

“If it’s a matter of mutual consent, then we’re not in an employment relationship, but just happen to be doing the same thing in the same place.”

Kate the cat solemnly corrected the Flying Brick, raising her right finger and waving it at the brick.

"Alright, alright, you're right. So where do you plan to build your base? It can't be in the high-level wilderness area, can it?"

“That’s not a good place. The cost of building a base there is just too high.” Kate Cat shook her head, her gaze moving across the map before settling on a particular spot.

"The orc region, I think this place is quite nice."
