Players’ NPC daddy.

Because there really is an old man in red who fights against the cold winter and evil in this season, and Santa Claus is the continuation of this story.

"Do you have a premonition of something? Are the Ice and Snow Gods going to invade?!"

"That's not the case. How should I put it..." Odin hesitated for a while, and seemed to be unable to think of any way to free himself from the responsibility, and said helplessly.

"I think my shadow will attack here."

"Your shadow?" Blaze looked at Odin's shadow.

It looks like just an ordinary shadow, nothing special about it.

"It's not this kind of shadow. The precise term is the dark side, the embodiment of evil, the opposite existence, and so on." Odin explained.

"I am a hybrid of a god and a giant, and hybrids mean having two sides. I have the face of a god, and I also have the face of a giant."

"If I gallop across the sky, fighting evil, a huge shadow will crawl across the ground, bringing disaster."

"My half, my shadow, the evil Krampus will attack here."

……

The Giant Christmas Tree was still bustling with activity, but Blaze and Herbie lay side by side on the roof of the Cuckoo Clock Villa, sighing as if they had lost half their lives.

Odin's warning made them look like this.

[The evil spirit Krampus], Odin symbolizes half of the giant's body.

Since the giant of the World Tree is the embodiment of nature, the evil spirit Krampus did not die with Odin's death, but returned to nature and will appear again as long as the conditions are met.

Rather than being the other half of Odin, it is more like an assistant who does the dirty work for Odin. While Odin fights the winter in the sky, it is on the earth, following Odin's footsteps to catch "bad boys".

These bad boys are destined not to become glorious warriors, but to become despicable murderers in the future, filling the underworld of Helm with the dead.

The reason why the name of the evil ghost Krampus does not appear in any history is because the requirements for its appearance are extremely harsh. It will only appear in places covered with ice and snow and where a large number of "bad kids" gather.

The reason why it appears now is because of a ridiculous reason.

The third group of strangers used skipping classes to hunt monsters in the Giant Volcano and Giant Snowfield in large numbers. This behavior was considered bad boy behavior in the World Tree.

Krampus, the evil spirit, is ready to attack when the Longest Night comes because of the bad kids gathered in the giant Christmas house.

Needless to say, the longest night is the end of the Christmas Hunting Festival. On that day, the foreigners who have not yet collected enough materials will frantically hunt monsters in the Giant Volcano and Giant Snowfield.

Bad boy behavior at its best.

At the same time, that day is also a time of harvest. People from other places will gather in the giant Christmas house in a very festive atmosphere to exchange gifts and redeem rewards.

The bad boys got together.

The evil Krampus is about to take action.

Chapter 1086: Costs Gradually Rising

Blaze and Herbie have no way to deal with the upcoming attack by Krampus because they don't know where Krampus is.

As for Odin, he must have known more, but for various reasons he could not tell them and could only let them guess.

"I think... Odin lied." Hebie turned over and supported his head with his hands.

"But his lies are not distortions of the truth, but rather [what he says now is true, but it might have been a lie in the Age of the Gods]."

"I felt the same way, especially the part about the dark side."

Blaze had never seen the previous Odin, but he could tell from some of Odin's behaviors when he was setting up the fruit stall.

The market price of apples had obviously dropped to one copper coin, but he still sold them to him at the old price for a year. What a small bargain. Looking at Loki's appearance and Odin's miserable state, it's not hard to imagine what kind of old bastard Odin was before.

Not to mention the meaning of the name "Odin" itself, which symbolizes anger, madness, and violence. Odin seems to be the symbol of the giant side of the hybrid.

So the dark side mentioned by Odin became interesting.

"I think... maybe the former demon Krapus was the symbol of the godly side of the hybrid, and now that Odin has become the godly side, the demon Krapus has naturally become the giant side."

"That's why the old man looks so guilty. He's so polite."

Hebi smacked her lips. She had no objection to this. After all, Odin had helped her a lot. Now that she thought about it, she had awarded Odin a medal for the best fruit stand in Fast Territory for several years, and even recommended Odin to a more prosperous city.

They were old acquaintances, so why would they be unhappy about old adulthood stuff from the Age of the Gods, not to mention that the evil spirit Krampus became evil because Odin himself had become good.

"Anyway, we can only wait for the evil Krampus to attack."

Blaze propped himself up and took a bird's eye view of the interior structure of the giant Christmas house. When he saw the track built by the stranger, his eyes lit up.

"Oh~ Do you have any ideas?"

"I remember that the profession of the priest series will become [Santa Claus] during this period, right?"

Herbie sat up and put his hands on his temples as he recalled.

"Yes, [Santa Claus] is a very powerful limited-time profession. No matter how basic the priest profession is, or how low the level of the priest profession is, it can be transformed into [Santa Claus] during this period of time."

"According to the intelligence I've seen, most of the third-tier foreigners have obtained a basic clergy profession in order to obtain the Santa Claus profession during this period of time."

"Odin was doing something similar to Santa Claus in the Age of the Gods, and the evil spirit Krampus was Odin's other half, the struggle between the two sides in his heart..."

Blaze imitated the stranger's gesture of recording the picture, and used his index fingers and thumbs to form a picture frame, aiming at the entire giant Christmas house.

"There's something going on, Hebi, we have to release a new event mission!"

……

Penguin's eyes were bloodshot, and he rubbed his face vigorously. There was no breath of life in the whole office. The geniuses turned into corpses after seeing the funding application from the sales department.

The saying "extreme joy leads to sorrow" is vividly demonstrated in geniuses.

This matter is related to peripheral products. It is not uncommon to turn popular buildings or props made by players into peripheral products. The Decisive Battle Fortress in the Giant Snowfield has already entered the production stage, and the sales department also provides a deluxe version equipped with a ghost ship and golden Fafnir.

The Christmas Giant House has naturally entered the stage of peripheralization. It was originally just a popular design among the peripherals, but... what is the definition of "popular".

Does 50 likes count? It is quite popular, but what if every design in the Christmas Giant House has so many likes?

The geniuses who announced the peripheralization of the product had not considered this matter, but it is not a big deal at this point. It is even a good thing, as more designs can be made into peripherals.

Later, seeing how popular the Christmas Giant House was, they simply said they wanted to make the entire Christmas Giant House physical.

Up to this point, Penguin didn’t think there was a problem, but they generously offered to give it away for free through a raffle!

Although it is only 5%, the number of players participating in the Christmas Hunting Festival is already frighteningly high, and 5% is also an astonishing number.

Not to mention that players are constantly adding interior decorations, causing the cost of the Christmas Giant House to skyrocket to the point where the geniuses are indistinguishable from corpses.

What’s even more frightening is that not only are the players making a fuss, but the NPCs also join in the fun.

[Limited Time Mission: The Track of Wonderful Christmas Eve]

[Set up tracks in the giant's Christmas house! Let Santa Claus ride on the sleigh and slide on the tracks to bring laughter to the children! ]

Simply put, this task requires players to build an aerial track inside the Christmas Giant House, allowing players to directly ride the track car to any place.

Players have started similar projects before, but this kind of design that occupies public space requires the consent of everyone, so the progress is slow.

The question is, should this aerial track be materialized?

It must be physical, because the entire surrounding area is to show the little people living in the giant's Christmas house. The details of the players' activities, such as using the water stains produced by falling wine glasses as hot springs, are the key points of restoration.

The Christmas railway that players move in this huge house is undoubtedly the focus of the restoration, which also means that the cost is high enough to make the geniuses laugh to death.

"These little bastards." Cook's chest heaved violently, but his expression was pale.

"Why use a rail car when you have a teleportation tower? It's like using a dagger to execute someone when you have a pistol!"

"...Damn it, I really can't refuse!"

Previously, the way players moved around in the Christmas Giant's House was with small teleportation towers, and there were designs for small teleportation towers, like toothbrushes, but they soon got bored.

It would be fine if it was just teleporting over long distances, but using a teleportation tower in a large building and teleporting with just your eyes open and closed always feels a little missing and monotonous.

On the contrary, riding the rail car is very, very interesting.

The speed is determined by yourself, so you can change from a sightseeing cable car enjoying the scenery to a roller coaster in the amusement park at any time, which is extremely exciting.

The most important thing is that with more convenient things happening, people always want to create some trouble for themselves.

The players are happy, the geniuses are happy, but my stomach just hurts.

Chapter 1087 Christmas Sleigh

Building an aerial track in the Santa Giant House sounds simple, but it is actually quite complicated. Building a stable track in the air requires a carefully designed support system.

Although the omnipotent magic can easily build a real aerial track, the side effect of this convenient method is chaos. Strangers will build aerial tracks at will, making the entire exquisite Christmas giant house a mess.

Professional matters should naturally be done by professionals.

Hebi invited Andy from the Fairy Kingdom, the counterfeiter from Somado, and other outstanding designers from other guilds to design the aerial track in the Christmas Giant House.

These outstanding designers said they don't want any compensation, which is quite a noble demeanor. But the biggest reason for not asking for compensation is that players who participate in the popular building design can get the deluxe version of the Christmas Giant House surrounding for free.

Regarding the issue of aerial tracks, Andy proposed the main track and the secondary track.

Building the aerial track randomly would be quite messy, so Andy thought that the main track should be built in the way of interior decoration, such as colorful light lines for holiday decorations, etc.

It is impossible to create aerial tracks without using magic, and each player has their own way of doing things. Not allowing players to do it means that players will do it secretly.

Rather than causing unpleasantness, it is better to just give permission.

The problem is how to prevent the freely erected aerial tracks from becoming aerial junk.

Someone mentioned Spider-Man. Herbie had no idea what Spider-Man was, but she did know spiders, and it was good that spider silk decomposed naturally.

But spiders don’t fit the Christmas atmosphere, so I might consider them next Halloween.

Herbie, who rejected this proposal, also came up with his own solution, which was a vehicle.

【Christmas Sleigh】

[Be careful not to stand in front of it, as ice will spray out in front of it! ]

[Be careful not to stand behind it, it will spit fire from behind! ]

"What, what is this?" Even the designers who had seen many big scenes were shocked by the sled in front of them.

"Is this the little thing you made on the ghost ship?" Blaze touched Herbie with his hand, and Herbie nodded and stepped onto the sled.

"This is actually an exchangeable item I prepared for the later stages of the event. As long as you consume MP, you will..."

A puff of cold air blew out from the front of the sled.

Hebie's face turned red, but the chill didn't rise.

"broken?!"

"This situation usually occurs when the MP required exceeds the MP limit." The counterfeiter explained.

"Let me do it." Blaze raised his hand and sat on the sled. Herbie, who was embarrassed, seemed to be glued to the sled and didn't move, insisting on being the one to demonstrate the sled's abilities.

Blaze shook his head helplessly, whispered "Point to Intelligence Attribute", and input MP into the Christmas sleigh, and fierce cold air immediately spurted out.

The designers broke out in sweat.

Should they complain that Santa is going to freeze the city with the cold air from his sleigh, or complain that Santa is going to blow the cold air up a moose's butt to drive the moose away?

Compared to NPCs, their level of hell is still much lower.

Unexpectedly, the cold air did not continue to spray, but gathered together, finally forming nine huge cold air moose.

The cold-weather moose shook its head very intelligently and stomped the ground with its huge hooves.

"Oh! How magical..."

"Wow! What is this!?"

Herbie, who took out the Christmas sleigh, was startled and jumped up and rode on Blaze.

"Didn't you take this out?"

"I thought there would only be one or two, but how come there are so many!"

……

After a moment of panic, Herbie blushed, coughed lightly, and explained the prop.

The Christmas sleigh was inspired by Herbie based on the scene of the golden dragon towing a ghost ship, and was a special prop made by the undead crew.

As long as you continue to consume MP, the Christmas sleigh can summon elemental creatures - Frost Moose. Frost Moose have a certain degree of flying ability. The more there are, the stronger the flying ability is, and of course the more MP is consumed.
