Players’ NPC daddy

Chapter 2178 Orc Curse Chapter 40
A new stronghold for the orc village.

The Fairy Kingdom enthusiasts, divided into three groups, successfully assembled. In terms of results, it was quite successful. Not only did they shake off all of Azazel's pursuers with zero casualties, but they also successfully met with the key figure, Beast King Lottie Sandrak, without any misunderstandings.

Now they have even built new orc villages and are singing and dancing around campfires.

"You have no idea how horrific that scene was. It was absolutely the biggest loss the Azazel group ever suffered. They were all wiped out, not a single one was left."

A member of the Fairy Kingdom Fan Club excitedly recounted Azazel's tragic state for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

It's no wonder he was so agitated. The Azazel group has been corrupting the player atmosphere and acting arrogantly. NPCs hate the Azazel, and normal players hate them too.

However, Azazel is like a heretic, becoming stronger much faster than normal players through crime, violence, robbery, and other means, not to mention accumulating wealth.

Even though most players in Azazel are only average in skill, they have a lot of people, high levels, and lots of items. Many ants can kill an elephant. Moreover, they are extremely vengeful, or rather, bored. Once you provoke them, they will keep chasing you.

This time, Azazel suffered a major setback, charging straight into the enormous army of ghouls.

Normally speaking, Azazel's group does have some ability. They might not be able to take the head of a general from among thousands of soldiers or make a seven-in-seven-out-of-ten-thousands charge into an army of one hundred thousand, but they certainly wouldn't have any problem protecting themselves.

The problem is that these people are fighting amongst themselves. The race has turned into a battle royale. The person who rushes to the front will be shot like a porcupine by the people behind. If they are unlucky enough to fall, they will be kicked and trampled by the people behind.

By the time they saw the true face of that red cloud, they were all missing limbs and had no time to escape.

"Although Azazel suffered a loss, it may not be a complete defeat. For them, discovering the ghouls and learning about the orc civilization in the orc region is already a great gain."

Kate the Cat wasn't as optimistic as the others, but she didn't spoil their fun. Instead, she chatted privately with Mighty Brick by the fire.

In reality, the Azazel group, and its leader, Muta, a figure who is like an urban legend in the gaming world, are the key to changing players' world reputation and correcting the game's atmosphere.

Either eliminate the Azazel group, or create a much larger number of normal players and characterize the gameplay of players like the Azazel as deliberately disruptive.

However, both methods are quite difficult, as they involve players' self-determination in the game experience. Even increasing the cost of death for red-named players will not directly change the prevailing atmosphere.

It's one thing that the road ahead is long and arduous, but just when they were trying to make changes step by step, Azazel, like a persistent ghost, came knocking.

"Ugh--"

Even Kate the cat couldn't help but sigh, bend over, place her hands on her knees which were clasped together, bury her face in the back of her hands, and curl up into a small ball.

It's always hard to understand why people commit evil deeds just for fun, even if they're not motivated by any specific benefit.

The highly free game world is like a stage for unregulated fighting. You can choose to be like a knight-errant, fighting honorably, or you can choose to use all sorts of despicable tools like a wrestler.

The difference is that the prop battles of wrestlers are rehearsed in real life and prepared for the sake of the show.

"There's a saying that goes, 'No matter what kind of animal it is, it always has enough patience and perseverance when it comes to doing bad things.' We need to be prepared for Azazel to enter the orc territory and cause trouble under the leadership of that man named Muta."

Dali Feizhuan sat down next to Kate the Cat, his posture casual, legs spread apart. He spoke of urgency, but his movements were quite relaxed. And the answer he gave was very simple.

"The current situation might actually be quite good."

"Is everything alright?" Kate the cat turned her head, revealing half of her face.

"Yeah, things are pretty good right now." Dali Feizhuan leaned back, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, and shook his head as he expressed his opinion.

"The most troublesome thing about those guys in Azazel is that we don't know what they want to do, and we don't know where they are. These two things combined make it impossible for us to stop their evil deeds of lowering player world reputation. We don't even know how many of them there are."

"But the current situation is that everyone in Azazel, and even those within their circle, are drawn to the news that a large-scale special mission exists in the Orcish region."

"As a result, almost all players who enjoy evil deeds and are greedy will concentrate in the orc region, reducing their activity in other regions."

“Hmm.” Kate Cat nodded in agreement. “Although this will lower the player reputation in the Orcish region, given the current special circumstances in the Orcish region, there is no need to worry.”

"And we also know what they're up to." Dali Feizhuan shook his finger. "They just want to steal special missions or find a new place to cause trouble."

“Now we know their purpose and where they are, and we have taken care of the two most difficult places in Azazel.”

"Hmm." Kate nodded, and although she didn't say anything more, she straightened her back and sat up straight.

dong dong dong-

Heavy footsteps approached, and a very tall little giant, over three meters tall, sat down opposite the warm campfire.

Lottie Sandrak, the Beast Queen, knew that Kate the Cat and Mighty Brick were the true leaders of this group of humans, so after learning about the situation from the orc village chief and other orc villagers, she came to the two of them.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Lottie Sandrak, the Beast King, finally spoke.

"I would like to express my gratitude to you for this."

"Oh." Mighty Brick subconsciously sat up straight. The voice of Beast King Lottie Sandrak was quite upright and full of authority, with a broadcasting tone, which made him subconsciously become serious.

“The reason that group of vicious people targeted your people is because of us. They came here following us, so we also bear responsibility for this.”

"No, these are two different things."

Lottie Sandrak, the Beast King, crossed her fingers, her pupils flashing with lightning that symbolized her rage.

"The Gung-on Beastman Tribe has targeted my village. Even if you hadn't shown up today, the village would have had to be relocated today. At least you've ensured the villagers' safe departure."
