Players’ NPC daddy.

“Ha…”

Blazer pinched his brows as he looked at Herbie, who was sprawled out next to him, snoring and drooling. Herbie was lecturing him, following him all the way to his room, angrily saying that the quilt was a temptation, and then he lay down in it and fell asleep in less than three seconds.

"Then how do I sleep?"

"Here!" A chicken popped up, spreading its wings and showing off its body that was as big as a bed.

"Didn't they say that the Giant Snowfield would affect you?" Blaze, as if unwilling to use any more energy, used all four limbs to crawl to the chicken, and lay down with a peaceful face.

"The premise is the Giant Snowfield. This is the land where Hebi's giant body was born. It isolates the Giant Snowfield, so we will not be affected."

"Really? Your world of gods is truly magical."

Blaze slowly closed his eyes. He said that after taking off his armor, he would eat well and sleep well. He ate well, but he never slept well.

The matter of returning the twelve constellations was too far away. The matter of the second generation Loki kept him awake. Now that the matter was finally resolved, he could finally sleep comfortably for a while.

"Good night."

"It's daytime now."

"Day is night for the Arcadian."

……

Arcadia, the city of Lycaon.

Audrey held her chin and sorted the documents on the table. After becoming the queen, she had a lot more things to deal with.

In the past, Herbie helped her deal with it. God knows how this small guy managed to handle so many things and still appear from anywhere every day to join in the fun.

"Blaze..."

Audrey muttered Blaze's name and tapped the white paper with the feather in her hand. She remembered Blaze's request to pay attention to whether there would be totem incarnations in Arcadia's territory.

So far, no trace of the totem incarnation has been found.

This proves that the totem on the Arcadia territory is most likely an activated mythological totem.

The question is whether this is a mythical totem that has become complete due to the upheaval, or a mythical totem that is incomplete but continues to function.

"This is not good news."

Chapter 1068 Failed Christmas Event

Christmas is a festival that is bound to happen in any game. There are limited card pools, limited skins, limited discount packages, and a lively atmosphere.

But Godlock didn't have it, and the players were disappointed, angry, and eager, so Christmas came into being. Although the way it was born was a bit random, the important thing was the festive atmosphere.

This first Christmas was a complete failure, with a maximum score of 2 out of 10. Everyone played their own games, and each guild held their own Christmas activities, so naturally the events were messy and chaotic.

However, the only lively thing on that Christmas was the fighting tournament held on the eve of Christmas Eve, which was open only to players with Cleric professions.

As long as you participate in the competition, the priest series profession will be temporarily changed to [Santa Claus], and the final winner can permanently obtain the limited profession [Santa Claus LV1].

As for using a fighting contest, and a ring battle at that, to decide who Santa Claus is... after players carefully searched the settings of Santa Claus, they felt that there was no problem.

Please, although Santa Claus looks like a fat man, this old man can move around the world within seven hours and deliver gifts to every good child.

Santa Claus, who can perform this level of exercise, will definitely be full of muscular body and his body fat will be in the single digits once he takes off his outer clothes.

After the failure of last Christmas, this time the players... gave up decisively and did not force themselves to do something they were not good at.

Fortunately, although the official did nothing this time, the NPCs have already started warming up for the Christmas activities, and the limited-time Christmas sets are also on the shelves.

A year ago, the upper limit of blacksmiths was blocked, and players had only a very low probability of making a set.

Now the upper limit has been opened, but the probability of making a suit is still not as high as that of the NPC, so the Christmas suits displayed by the NPC have made players look forward to it.

Whether the Christmas suit is powerful or not is one thing, but dressing up as Santa Claus and beating up your enemies is a joy that you have to experience.

The venue for this event was the exploration team's base next to the newly generated Jinlunga Lake. There happened to be a lot of players gathered there, and the news that the NPCs were planning to hold a Christmas party spread within a few minutes.

[Hermes' Travel Cap] also appropriately started the event warm-up, adding many small activities for players to participate in setting up the event site.

With a unified event venue, the enthusiasm for Christmas has increased.

Herbie opened her arms and closed her eyes to enjoy the festive atmosphere on the snow. She was extremely satisfied because the whole activity was free.

[Hermes's Travel Hat] Just call on strangers and provide an activity site, and the strangers will have a lot of fun. And she will be happy to make a lot of money from the event.

"Ah, when I think about how I can increase sales by just putting a Christmas special on the product or changing it to a Christmas skin, I hate why Christmas isn't just... once a month."

"Why do I have to hear your profiteer remarks before I even open my eyes." Blaze lay in the chicken feather bed and opened one eye to look at Herbie.

Early in the morning, Herbie was planning marketing policies in front of the beautiful scenery.

"What do you know? This is called working hard while others are resting."

Herbie snorted, then suddenly took off running and swooped down into the chicken's feathers. The chicken lovingly spread its wings wide to accommodate the two of them.

Herbie fluttered in the sea of ​​feathers and finally emerged with his head after a long effort.

"I said, don't you know who Santa Claus was last time?"

"Hmm~ I don't remember very clearly, little angel?"

"It's not her. Her special profession is [Saint]." Herbie counted on his fingers the stranger who was most likely to be Santa Claus. "I want to contact that stranger and ask him to play Santa Claus in the next event."

"Of course, I'll give that Santa a lot of benefits, like the [Best Santa Suit] and the [Ace Moose], so that the people from other places will be more motivated to participate in this fighting tournament so that they can get these next year."

"This is very interesting." Blazer became interested, but he was not planning to participate in the fighting competition. This was an activity for foreigners. What he found interesting was the lively scene at the event.

"I have specially invited Master Hader here. Do you want to meet him?"

"Wait." Blaze raised his eyebrows, "When did you do so many things? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"I woke up after sleeping for two hours. It was the first night without Rocky. I slept soundly and felt full. Then I have been working till now and even had a midnight snack in the middle."

"You are simply superman!"

"Thanks for the compliment." Herbie smiled proudly, then patted Blaze's forehead hard, "It's time to get up, a new day awaits us!"

……

The new day starts with the forging teacher checking the homework.

Blaze's palms were sweating, and he stood straight in front of Hader, waiting for Hader to check his homework. And Herby was even more embarrassed than Blaze, because she was the hanger on Blaze's homework.

[Baby Bear Set] has a good reputation among foreigners because of its fashionable, cute and sexy style, but in front of Had, the old-fashioned forging master, it seems a bit [vulgar].

"Unqualified."

Hader gave the answer and Blaze sighed. He knew this would happen. Herbie saw this and put his hands on his hips and raised his eyebrows.

"Hey! What's wrong with this suit? It's so comfortable for me!"

"It doesn't take the wearer's body structure into consideration. The skirt is too long and the stockings are too thick. If the wearer doesn't do indecent things like lifting the skirt from time to time, she'll be roasted by this equipment." Hader held a ruler and measured Herbie's body.

“So it’s not up to standard, but the overall design looks thoughtful.”

Hader was very strict, but he did not forget to give encouragement after criticizing. Herbie's face was dark, it turned out that because she was too short and her legs were too thin, the clothes were not up to standard.

“This is a true work of art!”

Hader pulled back a piece of red cloth, revealing the protective gear underneath.

【Best Santa Claus Suit】

[Equipment that can only be equipped by the strongest Santa Claus selected in the annual fighting tournament]

It was a complete set of bright red clothing, very retro and without any extra decorations, only white plush edges decorating the sleeves and collar.

"Will the strangers like this?"

"I'll love it."

Blaze and Harder said in unison.

Wearing this red tights is extremely perverted, so strangers must like it very much.

Chapter 1069: Infinity Pool after Half a Year

Blaze looked at the Santa Claus suit made by Master Had. Although the exterior was extremely simple, the interior was very delicate, made of several kinds of monster fur pressed together.

Although it is furry, it has amazing defensive power.

This [Best Santa Claus Set] also comes with an exclusive weapon, a big bag.

【Christmas gift bag/meteor hammer】

[A small warehouse where you can place items to increase the weight. The heavier the weight, the higher the damage.]

This equipment reminded Blaze of the time when the strangers were just starting out. At that time, they didn't have any good equipment and often started fighting by picking up branches. Among them, the meteor hammer made of a few stones placed in a sturdy bag was incredibly powerful.

"But it can't fit in this bag..."

Blaze opened the gift bag and to his surprise, it was pitch black inside. The space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside.

"Those evil strangers who often come to the Goblin Village mentioned to me whether it is possible to make props that look small but can hold a lot of things." Had stroked his beard and talked about the inspiration for making props.

"But that involves the realm of magic and faith, which I am not familiar with, so this weapon was made in collaboration with an old woman."

"There are two flaws. One is that if the items are too heavy, the durability of the weapon will be reduced. The other is that if there are props placed inside, the equipment cannot be put into the warehouse and can only be carried on the back."

Blaze imagined himself using this gift bag, and concluded that it should be classified as a "toy".

However, foreigners also like toys very much. Except for those who use large swords, most of the foreigners he met often change their weapons and protective gear.

Dali Feizhuan has different fighting styles such as [One-Strike Great Sword Style], [Heavy Shield Cannon Style], [Boomerang Great Sword Style], etc., and can switch smoothly during battle.

Greenland is proficient in everything, and you never know what equipment will be used in the next round of attack.

Speaking of powerful flying bricks, [Fairy Kingdom] was the first large guild to respond to [Hermes's Travel Hat]'s Christmas warm-up. They came to the exploration team camp of [L-22] and started the activities. The large guild mobilized the small guilds, and the Christmas warm-up was held more smoothly.

However, the Fairy Kingdom and many guilds did not come here just for the Christmas event. The boat battle in Lake Jinlunga yesterday made them eager to try, and they planned to practice the guild war in half a year.

After all, not everyone can swing from one boat to another, it takes practice. In addition to practice, many people want to find the ghost ship and gold that sank in Lake Kinlunga.

Whether you can find it or not is another matter. The most important thing is to do something interesting in the festive atmosphere.

Seeing more and more strangers gathering in the exploration team's base, and the base becoming more and more lively, Hebie couldn't help but have some evil thoughts. She missed the exciting scene of the Nemean Giant Front.

It was really tiring, but the revenue was really high. Not only that, it also improved the Chamber of Commerce's reputation among foreigners. Even now, some people are still talking about the preparations for the Nemean Giant Line.

Activities that allow unlimited redemption of rewards should definitely not be held frequently. Whether or not people can consume the rewards is one thing, but the real problem is that the enthusiasm of foreigners will be reduced.

Good things are sought after and cherished because they are rare.

On the importance of hunger marketing.

So is Christmas, which only comes once a year, a rare thing? It should be, and this festival should be quite famous among foreigners. Last Christmas, every slightly larger guild celebrated it in a proper manner.

Although she investigated the details of Christmas, there are three important things, a thing called Christmas tree, a strong man called Santa Claus and his reindeer, and Christmas gifts.

It would be a waste if these elements were not used to host large-scale events!

And waste is shameful.

"Let's do it, but what is the content of the activity? The easiest thing is to defeat monsters, but where can we get so many monsters?"

Herbie pinched his chin and opened the map of World L.

Given the speed at which foreigners can hunt monsters to extinction, it certainly can't be held in a normal place. The last venue, the Nemean Forest, was a good choice.

The Giant Snowfield and the Giant Volcano are also good. The monsters there are not scarce in number at all due to the environment. On the contrary, there are many of them, both in terms of species and populations, which is a bit exaggerated.

The exploration team has a general idea of ​​the areas beyond levels 4 and 5, and it is very clear what kind of monsters live in which places, making it a perfect activity guide.

Speaking of the exploration team, Hebi remembered that the strangers in the exploration team had always wanted to [attract new members], that is, to let more strangers go adventure in various environments.

There is no need to join an exploration group, just explore the wild and bird-free wilderness together.

But when it comes to [attracting new members], people in the exploration group often look bitter, and this is a difficult task.

Most foreigners will not try something new that has many complicated thresholds. It’s not that they don’t want to, but they don’t have that much enthusiasm and desire.

Take the Giant Volcano and Giant Snowfield for example. Although the environmental damage in the fourth and fifth areas will start to be fatal, in fact, it will be greatly affected starting from the first level environment area. Only by wearing equipment corresponding to the environment and eating corresponding food can you resist it.

Even for an organized and experienced exploration team, it took a lot of time and effort to explore two areas at the same time to accumulate just enough materials.

If a foreigner with average strength were to explore alone, he would probably have to die hundreds of times and spend a month to gather enough resources to barely survive in the second-level environment.

Most of the foreigners not only have average strength, but also have limited time. If there is no need, they would rather move around in other areas, and those other places are not bad either.
