Players’ NPC daddy.

"Ahhh-"

Herbie scratched his head as if he was cursed. When he was sure that he had no way to get the map out, he immediately went to find help - Audrey who had not left yet.

"You've caused trouble for Audrey."

Facing Audrey, who was upholding justice when Herbie moved in, Blaze provocatively poked Herbie on the forehead.

Not all the allied kingdoms left the banquet contentedly. Many of them took advantage of this rare opportunity to conduct some negotiations.

As Acadia had recently become an allied kingdom from a territory, and had re-entered the world stage as a new nation - the Acadians, it needed a lot of reforms in policy.

Of course, it was mainly about the increasing number of Arcadian strangers and the affair between Queen Audrey Arcadia and the new president of Hermes' Travel Hat, Herbie Hermes.

The problem lies mainly in the latter. As an invisible empire, [Hermes's Traveling Hat] has already made many kingdoms and city-states quite alert. Audrey, who has a close relationship with President Herbie, will naturally be alert as well.

No one would believe that Herbie would be absolutely neutral, not to mention that Herbie had never concealed his preferences.

So Audrey had a lot to deal with.

"Me! You! Them!" Herbie looked at Blaze's fingers and wanted to bite back, saying, "Blaze, you're almost the same."

But [Black Beast Knight Blaze] did not cause any trouble to Audrey, because those kingdoms and city-states could not imagine, nor dared to imagine, the scene of Blaze standing on the side of Arcadia and acting entirely for the interests of Arcadia.

"Aren't these guys just bullying us businessmen? Mmm--"

Herbie could only let Blaze poke his head in humiliation.

"Well, that's just what we have to deal with as Arcadia grows stronger."

Audrey held Herbie in her arms, and Herbie took the opportunity to hug Audrey's waist, turned his head and stuck out his tongue and made a face at Blaze.

"But you said you would show your active side in Arcadia this year, didn't you?"

"Well..." Blaze shrank his neck awkwardly and guiltily, holding the broom as if he was caught being lazy by the boss.

In a sense, this is true. He has a formal job in Arcadia, which is the [Silver Knight].

Formal work means having work content, which is daily tasks.

Although Greenland lost his Silver Blood, he still held the title of the second Silver Knight, and completed all of his daily tasks without any loss.

It is better to say that every stranger with the title of Silver Knight has never missed any daily mission.

"Oh no, oh no! If I continue like this I will be... fired!?" Blaze pressed his hands on his face and shouted silently.

"How could that be?" Audrey smiled helplessly and reached out to brush away the dust on Blaze's chest.

Looking at the boy's face, she controlled her instinct to swallow and swiftly moved her hand away from him.

"You are my knight, my hero, but you are not just my knight and hero. Besides~" Audrey suddenly smiled cunningly and reached out to pinch Blaze's face.

"As long as I don't drive you away, you will always be my knight under the kingdom's certification."

"But seriously, you should do daily tasks at least once a month, otherwise it's really unacceptable."

"understand!"

Blaze immediately stood up and saluted, and the atmosphere became relaxed. Audrey took the opportunity to ask about the Gourmet Continent.

She tasted the gourmet monsters from the Gourmet Continent, which opened her eyes and made her curious about how magical the Gourmet Continent was.

"I think you'd better not have too big a filter for the Food Continent." Blaze shook his head.

"why?"

"Do you like fried food?" Blaze asked suddenly.

"Ahem." Audrey coughed lightly and rolled her eyes, considering whether to admit that she liked to eat such unhealthy food.

"She likes to eat stinky tofu." Herbie immediately betrayed Audrey and proudly patted his chest and said, "I brought her to eat it."

While Audrey was pulling Herbie's mouth to punish her, Blaze turned the Monster Manual to the page about the Fried Monster.

"Food monsters also have their own living environments, just like the methods of making corresponding foods. Barbecue food monsters live in hot areas, and ice cream food monsters live in cold areas."

"And this is the area where the fried monster is."

Blaze showed the curious Audrey and Herbie the area where the fried food monster was located, which was a long river of boiling hot oil.

“Isn’t this deep-fried hell?”

Chapter 1596 Temporary Passage

The salty crisis of the Gourmet Continent is caused by two factors, the primary one being contact with the Ocean World, and the secondary one being the absorption of salty dark gourmet organisms by the Gourmet Continent.

There is no way to solve the main reason of the ocean world for the time being, but the secondary reason of the salty dark gourmet creatures can be solved by the old method.

Monsters that destroy the normal laws of nature are not rare, as long as they are hunted regularly. After the appearance of strangers, it is even more convenient.

But before that, the hunting mission for the salty dark food monster progressed slowly, and not many strangers took on the mission.

The main reason is [unprofitable].

After being defeated, the body of the gourmet monster does not disappear, so the experience points for defeating the gourmet monster are relatively low. In addition, this is a [Gourmet] monster, and as the name suggests, the main drop is the huge gourmet body, and there are few materials that can be used to make equipment.

Gourmet monsters are rare and delicious objects. Even if they don’t give much experience or recyclable drops, eating their bodies is already a great enjoyment.

But the Dark Gourmet Monster no longer has this only advantage. Even strangers would not be very interested in defeating a monster that would bring no benefit at all.

Now that the salted dark gourmet monsters can be provided to the treasure miners as food, hunting the salted dark gourmet monsters has become a valuable task, and there is enthusiasm for accepting the task.

The saltiness problem of the food continent has been alleviated, and the Food Research Association has become lively.

As for the reward for providing food to the treasure miners, it is currently paid by the Giant Kingdom Alliance. Hope City will pay it after Hope City completes large-scale urbanization and begins to develop World B.

While Blazer was listening to the chicken, like a big loud speaker, chattering about the treasure miners, he was setting up a temporary transmission tower according to Herbie's map.

When he heard the word "reward", he remembered the shocking scene where the miners cut off their own arms as reward.

But for the Baokuang people, there is no problem except that there may be some troubles in their future life.

After all, the senses of the Baokuang people are quite dull. Let alone the pain, even the touch is difficult for them to feel. Only the grip strength of the Jians people can make their hands feel like they are being held.

Of course, there is a way to regenerate the lost parts of the treasure miner, but it requires eating a large amount of crystals or hibernating for a long time.

"I thought the treasure miners would chop off my arms as a reward."

"It was almost chopped down. They planned to cut off the parts that would not affect our lives as payment." The chicken rubbed her inflated down body. Even she subconsciously felt the chill.

Simply seeing the nail being lifted up gave me a phantom pain.

"It seems that the people of the treasure mines still need some time to accept normal values." Blaze stood up and clapped his hands. He was now at the edge of the continent of Atlantis.

A total of 50 temporary teleportation towers have been set up. As long as the last one is activated, a route to the continent of Atlantis can be connected.

However, if there is only a route, it can only allow foreigners to visit the continent of Atlantis at will during the 3 hours when the temporary teleportation tower is effective. A teleportation tower is needed to completely solve the passage problem.

The teleportation tower needs the [Ica Black Stone] as its core, but to be honest, this symbol of power from the old times is not suitable to appear in Atlantis in the new era.

Originally, Blaze just felt that it was not good and there might be a problem, but the knowledgeable strangers talked about it all at once and made this vague problem concrete.

Things like "Old Times Worshipers" and "Restorationists" and so on, all kinds of conspiracies surrounding the Ica Stone popped out of the strangers' mouths one after another.

I don’t know what a terrible world the foreigners live in. It’s really not easy.

The stone that can replace the Ica Stone as the core is on the floating island of the sky giant, but it doesn't mean you can get it whenever you want. So it's not necessary to solve the problem of the teleportation tower before you can start building Atlantis. Both sides can be done at the same time.

No, it should be possible for all three parties to proceed at the same time.

Contact the sky giants to discuss the floating island's specialty stones, build a city on the continent of Atlantis, and search for mermaids.

Among the three things, the issue of mermaids is the most important. We need to search the caves where mermaids lived on the continent of Atlantis, find their names and special things, and then dive into the sea to find the corresponding mermaids at the bottom of the continent of Atlantis.

For the most important thing, Blaze doesn't need it. No one is better than a stranger at finding things.

Once the mermaid is found and recognized, the guild will have fixed members on the continent of Atlantis, which will have many advantages for the future development of the continent of Atlantis.

There are many benefits, and the number of mermaids is limited, less than 10,000, these two points make foreigners quite interested.

Before Blaze set up the temporary teleportation tower passage, the strangers relied on the two skills [Emergency SOS] and [Emergency Rescue] to keep their members on the continent of Atlantis and created a human teleportation network.

But only guilds with a certain scale and organization can do this. It is quite difficult for entertainment guilds or guilds with the nature of hobby clubs. Not to mention, not all foreigners participated in the Atlantis Floating Event. Most of the foreigners did not come to Atlantis.

No matter when, Blazer always remembers one thing, that is, [everyone] is the main force to accomplish a big thing.

There are only dozens of large and disciplined guilds, but there are thousands of entertainment guilds. Even if the efficiency of dozens of large guilds is very high, it is impossible for them to be as efficient as thousands of guilds working together.

"start up."

Blaze activated this last temporary teleportation tower. He reached out and touched the illusory teleportation tower, opening the teleportation network.

On the empty sea surface, 50 temporary transmission towers were connected to each other, forming a zigzag line, connecting the giant tower of the Gourmet Research Association on the Gourmet Continent with Atlantis.

"Okay, please go inform the strangers waiting at the Gourmet Research Association."

Blaze called out to the chicken, who nodded, used [Shuttle Z] to instantly disappear from the spot, and headed for the Gourmet Research Association.

After a while, the temporary teleportation tower began to emit a teleportation light.

Blaze took a step back and made way, and one stranger after another came here through the temporary teleportation tower.

"There are only two or three hours left. Please prioritize building camps and updating resurrection points!"

Chapter 1597 It's that day again

"Alas...it's that day again."

Kitchenware lay down on the chair which was not ergonomic at all, crossed his legs on the table, and sighed softly.

Penguin used to think that this was because Kitchenware, as a woman, had reached her menstrual period, and would bring Kitchenware a cup of hot water or something, but after two years, he could finally read the air.

This sigh is not from the [menstrual period]!

After all, other people had similar expressions, and Kitchenware’s body was very strong, so even if her period came, it wouldn’t be noticeable.

Of course, if a rumor were spread that kitchen utensils don’t have menstrual periods, something terrible would happen.

"Ah, my head hurts, as if there are some memories that I don't want to recall!" Penguin covered his head suddenly, and cold sweat broke out on his face.

To be honest, he felt like there was something wrong with his memory after coming here. It seemed that he had forgotten everything except work and some important things.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your brain?" The kitchen utensil tilted its head and looked over.

"I wonder if you've done anything too bad to me."

"…I'm sorry, I've done so much that I have no idea which one caused it." The kitchen appliance clasped his hands together towards the penguin, tilted his head and blinked.

"Why don't I apologize all at once this time, and you forget all those things all at once."

"Well, it's a good deal, isn't it?"

"Don't talk like it's a clearance sale!"

All the penguin could do was stand up and raise his hands in protest.

He didn't dare to clench his fist, fearing that it would be taken as an invitation to a duel, so he could only raise his hand as if he was answering a question in class.

"Forget it, I'd better not know how miserable I am." Penguin scratched his head, gave up on delving into the matter, and sat back in his chair.

After one and a half years of internship and half a year of formal work, he has already understood the subtext of geniuses.

“[That day] is when players can use their imagination and create whatever they want.”

"That's right." The boss scratched his hair and sighed. "Although players can create at will, if we give them a stage and an opportunity to gather together, their interest and imagination will continue to explode."

The penguin nodded. The boss was worthy of being the boss. He always spoke in a pleasant way, describing the players' random pranks as if they were fostering children's imagination.

In fact, the problem lies in [imagination]. If players can really create interesting things out of nothing, geniuses will not sigh so sadly, but will brag about how great they are and create a stage for players.

Like the last Christmas event, although the geniuses complained about how high the cost of physicalizing the peripherals was, that was a happy worry. But right now, the geniuses' expressions were like "trouble is coming."

Players will definitely not be content with just building an ordinary camp on the continent of Atlantis. Even when building world barriers, players can come up with all kinds of tricks, not to mention building a camp on the new continent.

It's impossible to stop the players, but you can find some fun in the midst of adversity.

The penguin raised his hand.

"I bet there will be 20."

"20?" Kitchenware snorted and shook two fingers. "If we break it down to functional buildings, there will be at least 200."

With two people starting, the geniuses also began to get excited and joined in the playful gambling.

As for what they are betting on, when it comes to Ocean World and Atlantis, it can only be [that].
