Ark, please stop getting mad at the host's operators

[Ascalon is not okay? Ascalon is not okay? …]

[Alas, as a fan of Yi Shen, I don’t want to talk to you any more. Without Yi Shen, none of you would be here.]

[No, Mr. Feng, please judge for me today]

[Yes, Brother Feng, please judge for yourself. This is a matter of both judging who is better and deciding who lives and dies!]

Li Ji, who had just walked out of the crack, did not feel any malice coming from afar.

Now that the strategy for the crack has been completed, he has also received an order from the commander to stay here and continue guarding the crack to prevent any accidents before the crack is officially sealed.

So even though he was bored, he still continued his live broadcast.

"You guys quarrel with each other, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Ji watched the various fan groups tearing each other apart with amusement, and suddenly he felt like he was watching a forum in the past.

But in the past, it was just talk at best, after all, it was just data.

But now the operators are real, and there are things like popularity votes...

Not only Mainna and the other three operators who debuted today, the fan groups of other operators - such as Silent Texas, Mace, Ella... are all voting crazily.

If he is not careful, fans might knock on his door at night and change his clothes to Qingming Festival only.

Forget about going to the underworld and fighting with the prison boss!

"Let's refuse to drag down operators in our live broadcast room. Rifts are meant to be a countermeasure for selecting operators, especially when there are so many restrictions."

While waiting for the crack to be sealed, Li Ji gave fans of the operators a shot of prevention in the live broadcast room:

"Don't yell so loudly now... If a different restrictive crack appears in the future and your favorite operator can't play, then the boomerang will hit you, don't blame me for not reminding you today!"

[Impossible, Maenna is the best in the world, how could he not be able to play with such output? If he can’t play, it means the commander’s selection is too targeted, Wan Feng should be fired!]

[Moderate! The most incompetent is to only be able to deal damage, and it is only useful if the functionality is fully utilized.]

[I feel like… there’s no need to compete in the following matches. Is there really a map where Yi Shen, the vanguard, can’t play? He’s really strong and powerful. Do you have a Yi Shen like him?]

[Do you have (X)? Except for Brother Feng, no one else has (?)]

[Alas, what you all like is just the extra large cup. Only our fans of Miss Skadi don’t fight over it! The medium cup also has its advantages.]

[This is so annoying. Brother Feng, you drink medium, large, and extra large cups every day. Can you rank the people in your team? I see many other teams rank themselves. Can you learn from them?]

[That’s right, I help my friends win the trophy every day, can you help your own team win the trophy? ]

"No, we can't arrange it. If you want the anchor to die, just say so. Look at what's going on in the live studio now."

Li Ji looked at the rankings on the screen and shook his head, "After the ranking is over, if someone comes along the screen and kills the anchor, then no one will be able to watch it."

[No knife.]

[Who did this?]

[Hurry, hurry, hurry!] X3427

"This is forbidden in this live broadcast room. Whoever has higher popularity will have higher intensity!"

[? ]

[Are you kidding me?! ]

[I won’t send you off, brothers. Let’s just play badly together!]

[Don’t mention it. After this urgent incident is over… the Yan Kingdom’s operator rankings will definitely be updated. Let’s check out the official one!]

"Then you guys just wait for the official queue. Just don't rush me when the time comes."

Li Ji thought...

Since there is an official.

So what happens in the end? We can't rush back to him, right?

Chapter 97: A brief peace

[The fourth stage of the mission has been completed: a brief peace (ending the current riots). ]

[Obtain hidden mission reward: portable tools. (Can be used to store the doctor's non-system items.)]

[Congratulations to the doctor for completing all the tasks in the current invasion phase. The pre-invasion task for the second phase will be started in advance: accumulating enough funds.]

[Side quest completed: Accumulate operator popularity. For every 20 increase in operator popularity, the money required for recruitment will decrease by 100%, and the minimum decrease percentage shall not exceed %.] (√)

[The current operator decline percentage is shown below. If you have any questions, please click on the target to view detailed popularity data. ]

[Cost reduced by 100%: Shu, Ascalon, Mauna, Ines. ]

[Cost reduced by 60%: Mace, Silent Texas, Flame Shadow Reed. ]

[Cost reduced by 40%: Ella, Kirin Night Blade, Skadi. ]

“So many people surrendered?”

Compared with the storage space provided by the main mission and the new money-saving mission, the side missions are obviously more attractive to Li Ji.

He thought that only the operators who played could enjoy the rewards of this branch...

“It’s such a loss.”

Li Ji said in a low voice with a bit of pain in his heart.

If I had known earlier, I would have cheated a little more, even if it was just to hold a lottery or make some peripherals to boost the popularity of a few other people...

This way he will save so much money!

But it was missed anyway, and Li Ji couldn't turn back time.

This can be said to be a "generous" reduction ratio. It should not be the only time, right?

Li Ji sighed and jumped directly into the operator search interface.

The above operators also reduced the amount by a corresponding percentage, and the four who reduced it by 100% even had a direct "Free Search" button!

"Today's system is so generous that I'm not used to it... As a result, I didn't think of taking advantage of it."

After all, it only takes one million popularity points to permanently search for an operator!

Compared to the previous fixed price of 2000 million, this is simply heaven!

It's simply given for free!

"Presesse, why didn't you give out such a good task earlier!"

[This system and the relationship between operators are all related to popularity. Only when the popularity value and world progress reach a certain level can the corresponding mission be opened. 】

"You also have to reach a certain popularity level... Does that mean if you don't have enough popularity and there are only cracks, you won't get this mission?"

【You can say that. 】

“Is there any necessary connection between the two?”

Li Ji pondered for a moment and asked Presise this question.

[It is detected that Dr. Wanfeng has insufficient permissions and cannot access related issues. 】

"Check Dr. Wan Feng's permissions."

[Highest level...It is detected that Dr. Wan Feng has insufficient permissions and cannot access operator-related issues. ]

"?"

Li Ji resisted the urge to swear and calmly consoled himself, "Calm down, Precious is my wife too..."

But this is too funny, first it says the highest level, and then suddenly it says insufficient authority.

What do you mean? It's obvious that you don't want to tell him?

What era are we in now? Are you still playing the traditional tsundere game?

Li Ji just found it a little funny.

Although Precious did not tell Li Ji the overall summoning chain, he could barely guess something through these details.

Now it seems that this so-called popularity, if we use a metaphor... is probably the anchor point of the operators' existence in this world?

If the normal increase in popularity can only be exchanged for visits and unlocking certificates, the survival of the operators will be unstable.

After all, a water map is a water map and may be replaced by others with a better solution at any time. Moreover, this type of map will not be closed, but only sealed.

But the crisis contract is different... Once all the items are completed, it means that the crisis contract crack for that season will be completely closed.

The popularity points gained in the crack...will naturally be fixed in the crack as the crack closes.

The anchor point brought by the crisis contract will be forever fixed in the long river of history.

As long as the cracks no longer appear, the anchor points left in the cracks of the crisis contract will never disappear?

"What if it's something else, like pigeon, would it have such an effect...?"

Li Ji is not quite sure, as no levels related to pigeons have been opened yet, and he does not know whether there will be more tasks released later.

It’s a pity that the three people who dropped by 60% didn’t play, and only some old fans were voting.

Second, their popularity had already accumulated to a certain level, which was not as easy as Shu and others who started from zero to one million.

However, according to this trend, even if the three of them do not play next time, there is a high probability that it will become -100%.

Furthermore, he had recruited these three people for a year, so as long as they could be reduced to 100% before the end of the 'contract', it wouldn't be a big loss for him.

"Unfortunately, if there is an entry that is not a contract that suppresses people, I must bring a full number of people and then fill in the entries!"

If every contract in the future can have a side quest like this, then he seems to be getting closer and closer to unlocking all six stars!

……

"Doctor, we should get out now. The crack will close soon."

Shu came to Li Ji's side at some point, quietly took his hand and walked towards the exit of the crack together.

"Oh, okay. I was just thinking about something and was a little absent-minded."

While answering, Li Ji followed a few people and stepped out of the crack.

The dazzling sunlight was still high in the sky. Li Ji, who was suddenly teleported from the claustrophobic crack environment, could only gradually adapt to the bright light around him.

Li Ji slightly opened his squinted eyes and looked at the countless people around him, forming a circle around the people of Rhodes Island.

Then, deafening applause rang out from all directions.

Amidst the enthusiastic applause, words of congratulations rose and fell, like a cheerful melody, interweaving with the applause.

"I'm sorry, I didn't believe you just now."

"Congratulations, Rhodes Island is destined to leave its name in Yan Country forever."

"Rhode Island! Rhode Island! Rhode Island!"

Everyone present expressed their most sincere congratulations and welcome in various languages to Li Ji who had returned from the rift. Their voices merged into a torrent, shouting the name of Rhodes Island.

Li Ji even saw a familiar person standing in front of the crowd——Qingye smiled and waved to Li Ji, and his mouth shape seemed to be saying 'I just rushed back and didn't see the moment of your success'.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The commander walked slowly forward, held Li Ji's hands and thanked him sincerely.

Although thanks to Rhodes Island's efforts, this crack sealing activity does not seem to be difficult...

But that is only for those who have not entered this crack.

"This is also the land where I live. I can't remain immune to what happened here, and I just did my best to help."

Li Ji shook his head and replied.

"There's no need to be so self-deprecating. Everyone here can see Rhodes Island's contribution!"

The commander's voice echoed in the sun, like the sound of a huge bell, awakening the ears.

His voice was full of power and passion, and every word was like a hammer hitting everyone's heart.

"We are always at a disadvantage in the battle against integration and constant openness..."
