Players’ NPC daddy.

Some grew successfully, while others died. They failed to adapt and withered when faced with the command to grow.

Blaze dug up the dead trees. During the whole process, Blaze could clearly feel the gazes coming from all directions. They were the forest people.

But since Blazer was clearing out dead trees and was still planting saplings, the forest people just watched.

"Are they your children or relatives?" Marika asked suddenly.

"Not really. I heard from the elves that the parents of plants are the land in which they are rooted, nature itself. They are connected to nature like babies in the womb. Besides, I just planted them."

Blazer put away his shovel and waved to the sky. Chickens flew across the sky, confirming the status of the evergreen trees around Lake Kinlunga.

It was very quiet, but the branches of the evergreen trees often twisted unnaturally.

Evergreen environment, furnished and finished.

……

At the exploration base, Herbie was checking the evil item sent by Hermes's Travel Hat - the lottery machine. It was actually a small item that you put the lottery ticket in and then spit out the exchange ticket.

Herbie's plan to give every foreigner one was originally impossible to accomplish, but Blaze's teacher, Chiron, provided something called an assembly line, which mass-produced lottery machines, exchange tickets, and lottery tickets, solving the problem.

As for the lottery machine, Hebby learned from the lesson of the last time someone made a lottery machine and commissioned [Somado], or to be more precise, the counterfeiter, to make a fairly complete self-destruct device for the lottery machine.

If you try to dismantle the lottery machine, the redemption coupons inside will self-destruct.

Why [Hermes' Travel Hat] has never held an event that provides unlimited materials for lottery before is because a chamber of commerce once did this.

They set up a lottery machine with lottery tickets and material exchange tickets. Then the foreigners stole the exchange tickets directly from the lottery machine and exchanged them for a large number of them. No, it should be said that they got materials for free.

The smartest thing the chamber of commerce did was to declare bankruptcy urgently and successfully save its pants.

Herbert had specially posted a warning on the lottery machine. If anyone tried to crack it, they would lose the chance to participate in the event. Although there would definitely be strangers who would try to crack it, the necessary precautions still had to be taken.

Chapter 1079 Christmas Game

Christmas of 2101 is coming. It is said that a hundred years ago, Christmas was a carnival day for businessmen.

Apples, which are cheap on ordinary days, are coated with gold called the "festival effect" during Christmas. The money that could buy a bag of apples can only buy one.

In addition to these, there are many, many [discounts]. These discounts are like the legendary ripper wandering in the foggy city, silently harvesting the wallets of one couple after another.

At that time, if anyone said they wanted to stay at home and participate in Christmas activities, they would definitely be shamefully labeled as a "nerd".

But now that virtual stealth technology has matured, it is rare not to spend Christmas in the game. As long as there is virtual stealth technology, we can gather in one place even if we are in different places.

The "Christmas Party Series" was the first game to take the plunge. The first version of "Christmas Party Family" was released when virtual stealth technology was not yet so perfect.

Although it was not good in every aspect and the activity area was only as big as one room, the Christmas atmosphere was restored very well, with a fireplace, Christmas tree, Christmas songs, and the feeling of a family gathering together.

Nowadays, people are becoming more and more lazy about festivals. For most people, only festivals that have holidays are worth remembering. The main reason for this is that it is too troublesome to clean up afterwards.

Preparation takes two or three days, or even a week, followed by a happy evening, and then cleaning up the mess of this happy evening, which makes you unhappy for several days.

"Christmas Party · Family" solves this problem very well. All you need to prepare is to buy the game, then go online at the appointed time to start celebrating, and then log off after the celebration.

"Christmas Party · Family" firmly hit the people's inner desire for "liveliness" at that time. In addition, virtual stealth technology had a lot of attention at the time. It became a hit once it was released, and there was even an adult version.

Of course, the "Christmas Party Series" soon began to rely on its old reputation. While not making any progress, it relied on the popularity and sentiment at the time to continuously add mini-game functions to the game.

Players don’t care much about it, and they even have more fun playing these retro mini-games. Sometimes they will play them even if it’s not Christmas.

However, those mini-games soon required paid lottery tickets to obtain, and the playing time also had to be charged. In addition, the graphics were not optimized and there were many bugs, endless costumes, and Christmas plots added by the production team without authorization. The "Christmas Party Series" was quickly eliminated.

However, the popularity of celebrating Christmas in the virtual world brought about by the "Christmas Party Series" continues, and various game manufacturers are also seizing the business opportunity to launch a variety of Christmas activities.

Unfortunately, most game manufacturers cannot satisfy players' desire for "liveliness". Their technical strength can only produce excellent stand-alone games, and the network function they provide is very unstable. The "Christmas Party Series" abandons almost all gameplay and only has a room-sized map.

But there is a game that will not experience any fluctuations or delays even if tens of millions of people log in at the same time. The content is extremely rich, and the graphics are so exquisite that they seem fake in the real world.

It would be a shame not to have Christmas in Godlock.

Although the official does not provide Christmas events, if you only celebrate when the official events are provided, it means that you have not yet grasped the essence of "Godlock".

The first Christmas, players organized it themselves, in guilds or city taverns. Although it was a mess, it seemed to have a kind of long-lost happiness.

But after the happiness comes confusion. Should I do it myself for the second Christmas? It is impossible to find joy in misery every time.

Some people made suggestions to the authorities, but those who made the suggestions felt that they had done something stupid. The authorities would not interfere with the rules of the game world, and it was impossible for them to fabricate a festival out of thin air for the players and let NPCs accompany the players to celebrate the event.

Freedom is the biggest highlight of "Godlock". It is not only the players who are free, but also the NPCs in it.

Players have the right to urge the game to become better and have more fun playing it, but Christmas cannot be left to the official, players have to work hard on it themselves.

This year, the Fairy Kingdom started soliciting opinions early on whether to hold Christmas in Avalon Park. They are willing to provide the venue, some small activities, and of course a huge Christmas tree.

Although [Avalon Park] can only accommodate a maximum of one million people, as long as it is lively enough, it can get off to a good start and make next year's Christmas activities more organized.

Players expressed their expectations on the Internet, but there was disappointment in their expectations.

Even if Avalon Park does not charge admission, it will not allow all players to enjoy the joy of Christmas. They will have to wait until next year. This year, they can only look at the excitement in the window like the little match girl.

Knowing that there would be a bigger and more extensive Christmas event in [Avalon Paradise], Christmas in other places could not be held. After taking a look at the decorations being prepared in [Avalon Paradise], most of the guilds sighed and gave up.

This was a case of good intentions leading to bad results, as it unintentionally dampened the enthusiasm for the festival and caused constant riots in the Fairy Kingdom.

Just then, [Hermes's Traveling Hat] appeared and stole all the Christmas enthusiasm from [Avalon Paradise] with just two lines of slogans.

[The largest Christmas event in history, accommodating tens of millions of people at the same time! ]

【Christmas warm-up event, unlimited lucky draw! 】

The venue is located at [L-22], which is a very rare place.

The players in the exploration team are currently exploring that place. The environment is disgusting and abnormal, but only the players in the exploration team can enjoy it without any restraint. Most of the players, even the top players, will be persuaded to quit.

But I didn't expect that it had already been conquered and even the environment had changed.

[Hermes's Traveling Hat] is called the official incarnation, and sometimes players jokingly call the official [Hermes's Traveling Hat], and often as soon as [Hermes's Traveling Hat] releases a notice of a large-scale event, the official will follow up with an event announcement.

Jokes aside, players can actually understand that the official is helping to expand its influence.

Players are somewhat pessimistic about the Christmas event organized by Hermes' Traveling Hat. How could NPCs possibly understand a festival that appeared out of nowhere? How could they, the players, understand Christmas?

But when they arrived at the scene.

Snow-capped mountains, a mysterious, sparkling lake, and a Christmas tree and sleigh with gifts hanging on them...

The perfect Christmas event scene!

In fact, players don’t really understand Christmas, they just want to join in the fun.

Chapter 1080 Christmas Explorer

The Christmas event organized by [Hermes' Traveling Hat] will end on Christmas Eve, and the previous twelve days are warm-up, that is, the hunting festival.

Although the hunting locations are in the two underworld environments of Giant Volcano and Giant Snowfield, [Hermes' Travel Cap] provides the option to purchase the most basic armor, allowing even novices to operate normally in both environments.

[Christmas Adventure Set·Limited]

[Give those adventurers who have a childlike spirit of exploration a piece of armor to take on adventures in the mountains that look like lying giants. Unfortunately, the materials used are a bit cheap, and the environmental anomaly resistance provided is limited.]

Someone calculated the properties of this armor, which is almost free, and found that it is much better than the average novice armor. The property requirements are very low, and it can be called a great armor for novice players.

After seeing the Christmas limited edition above, the number of new account registrations for "Godlock" has increased by one level. This is an unexpected but reasonable gain.

Unfortunately, a player can only purchase one set of Christmas Adventurer.

In addition to the Christmas Adventurer Set, there are also Christmas lottery tickets and Christmas lottery machines. Every player can get a lottery machine for free, and you have to go to the counter to redeem the lottery tickets.

There are so many players that no matter how many counters are added, there are still queues. However, the cute, naive, and large white-haired Jinlunjiabeiren as the poster girl really makes the players queue up patiently.

Not to mention that the people of Jinlunga North have an even bigger mother.

In addition to the main hunting festival, there are many smaller activities, such as collecting Christmas trees.

[Limited time interaction: Shadow beside the Christmas tree]

[Take the tree seeds and go to the Evergreen Forest to cut down trees. Get the Evergreen trees to decorate the event site. But be careful, that is the forest people's territory. If you cut down trees, you will be besieged by the Evergreen Forest people. ]

The players worked hard and rushed straight into the Giant Volcano and Giant Snowfield. Although the abnormal environment caused the players' death rate to be very high, their enthusiasm remained unabated.

……

At this time, Blaze was not in World L, but in World F, the underworld of Helm. The Christmas event was lively enough, and the large number of strangers was enough to make the earth remember this event and generate a totem.

But the Christmas event is actually still bare now, and the Evergreen Forester alone is not enough, so Blaze is constantly looking for new monster elements.

In addition to Santa Claus and Christmas trees, there are some small details that foreigners casually mention at Christmas, that is, the snowman.

The Christmas that foreigners talk about is in winter, and foreigners have the habit of making snowmen in the snow. So if these snowmen turn into monsters and attack, foreigners should also find it very interesting.

Although monsters are created now to enrich the elements of Christmas and form a large totem that is split from small totems, in order to prevent the creation of overly powerful totem incarnations in the future due to upheavals, we cannot just focus on solving the problems at hand and leave behind troubles.

The people of Evergreen Forest use Marika's arrangement method to restrain each other, so the snowman monster better not be so difficult to deal with, so as not to cause trouble to everyone outside of the festival.

The solution Blaze came up with was to use monsters with special strategies.

Creating such a monster is surprisingly not that difficult.

[Special Strategy] sounds very advanced, but in fact it covers a wide range and is very common.

For example, for the undead, burning their remains or making their obsessions disappear is a special death. Or for monsters controlled by parasitic plants, destroying the parasitic plants is also a [Special Strategy].

They have the same characteristic, which is that it is difficult to defeat them without [Special Strategy].

The undead have a lot of health, are extremely resistant to attributes other than those that are restrained, and are immune to physical damage most of the time.

Parasitic plants can cause their hosts to perform a variety of irrational actions, and their health points are hidden.

Blazer intends to combine the characteristics of parasitic plants and the undead, so his target is the plants that grow in the underworld of Helheim.

In addition to causing a variety of fatal abnormal conditions if eaten by living people, these plants have another characteristic, that is, they have characteristics similar to the undead and will react to living people.

According to the information collected by [Hermes's Traveling Hat], the foreigners invited to the underworld of Helheim have cultivated offensive plants.

Of course, aggressive plants is a nice way of saying it, but the truth is that when farming, you accidentally planted a daddy, that is, a plant monster.

If these plant monsters were not still able to move because of the breath of living people, Hela's expression would definitely be very ugly.

After hearing Blaze's purpose, Hela took the initiative to lead the way and brought Blaze to the foreigners' experimental field. Although it was just a guide, Blaze could hear the meaning of "Look at the good things they have done" from Hela's tone and footsteps.

The experimental fields were lands that Hela had specially designated for foreigners, but now many places were marked with signs saying "Hazardous plants are present, please do not enter."

Obviously, the foreigners did not simply cultivate plant monsters.

Behind the sign is a seemingly peaceful vegetable garden. The tomatoes look extremely juicy, but their grey skin has a sense of death. This black and white sense of life and death is reflected in every crop.

Blazer identified the plants and received feedback that they were normal Helm crops.

“They are in an inactivated state now. If a living person walks in, they will go berserk immediately.” Hela crossed her arms and sighed softly.

Although they will not be activated by the dead, once they go berserk they will not distinguish between the dead and the living, and will be attacked as long as they move.

So far, they have not caused any harm to the deceased, and since they are also food, Hela is reluctant to destroy them.

Not to mention, monsterized plants mean better taste and more nutritious. The only problem is that the dead in Helheim have little fighting power.

Blaze felt that Hela could start preparing a place to welcome the strangers and could entrust the strangers to solve the problem.

There are only a few foreigners active now, so there is no problem, but one day this small number will increase hundreds of times. When there are more foreigners, it is inevitable that cities, villages, etc. will be needed. Besides, the dead cannot live in Hela's palace forever.

"In addition to asking strangers to handle it, I think we can also ask strangers who understand Feng Shui to change the crop layout to a good harvest or something. Of course, this premise is that we can still welcome a large number of strangers. It can't be solved in a short time."

Hela took note of Blaze's words one by one and then fell silent.

Blaze couldn't see anything on Hela's face. He lowered his eyes and saw Hela's toes curled up unnaturally.

"Don't worry about it. Just tell me what you need. I'm not sitting on that chair for nothing."

"...The Palace of the Rumbler, I need that."

Chapter 1081: Relationship Chain Brought by the Title

Hela did not explain what the "Palace of the Roarer" was. She thought that once she explained it clearly, Blaze would definitely go looking for it specifically, which would make her somewhat embarrassed.

“Can I ask why you are so polite?” Blaze was a little curious about Hela’s attitude. It was respect before, but now it was a bit...forced respect.

"This is... more complicated."

Hela, the goddess of death and mistress of the underworld, rarely showed an expression of confusion and headache.

"Do you know that I am actually the daughter born after Loki cheated on me?"
