Farm BOSS BUG, Temporary Quest Appears

At this point, a player asked in confusion, "Isn't the imperial court afraid that the Descenders will overthrow them?"

"Or do they have some kind of backing that gives them the confidence to appease?"

He knows the history of Blue Star.

The Great Ying Empire's confidence in appeasement stemmed from their isolation on the island; they were not the first to be attacked.

Does the imperial court share the same view?

"Perhaps it's because they think the players aren't capable of conquering the island?"

"Because in the previous dynasty and the dynasty before that, there were also those Descenders, but none of them overthrew the court at that time," the Fourth Prince said thoughtfully.

"How was the imperial court overthrown?"

"It was usurped by a family within the court. The current emperor was greedy for Immortality and pleasure, neglecting daily affairs of state, and therefore could not directly control the network and power, and was eventually replaced by someone else," the Fourth Prince said helplessly.

Because the current emperor also has this trend.

When he first went to court, he heard that the emperor had opened a new garden and taken in six more beauties.

"I see. The threat of the Descenders is probably not a concern for the emperor at all. On the contrary, what the emperor is worried about is that certain families will take the opportunity to grow stronger during the suppression." The player suddenly realized.

"That's it. The nature of those Descenders has been analyzed in the court. They're a disorganized bunch, unwilling to submit to each other, and uninterested in the affairs of the court. It's difficult for them to replace the court," the Fourth Prince said, shaking his head.

"Your Highness, if that's all you think, you're sorely mistaken." The player shook his head and said, "Those high-ranking players from those big companies definitely have rebellious intentions, but they lack the resources and foundation. So they're all learning from Sima Yi. A hundred years from now, that will be the time for them to launch a full-scale rebellion."

"Sima Yi?" The Fourth Prince nodded.

He could actually guess it, which is why he always advocated actively eliminating players.

Unfortunately, the others were not enthusiastic.

From the emperor to the princes, and then to the high-ranking officials, everyone was very pessimistic.

Of course, deep down, he also thought about just giving up.

Like light and dust.

However, the persona he cultivated for himself was that of a "diligent official."

He offends people that others are unwilling to offend.

He does the difficult things that others are unwilling to do.

This was, of course, because he had heard a saying before.

That was what the emperor said, "Only those who can endure the hardships of ruling a country can gain the world."

Now, what he needs to do is quite obvious.

If no one else can solve the players' problems, then he should be the emperor.

Of course, this was his own idea.

"So, what do you think is the best way to completely get rid of these players?"

The three of them racked their brains.

Suddenly, Player Three said, "Actually, there is a way to deal with the players."

As the saying goes, if you can't beat someone, join them.

"If Your Highness could vigorously win over the players and leverage the resources of both the players and the imperial court to unite them, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"That's right. In the end, players play games for resources. As long as a large alliance is established and everyone has the same ID, 80% of the players just want to enjoy the game. They don't have the will or the ability to dominate." Player Two agreed.

"That's right. When we play online games, it usually takes two or three whales (players who spend a lot of money) to dominate a server."

"As long as Your Highness keeps trying to win over players, I believe most of them will be tempted by the easy way to obtain resources and will eventually join the Prince's faction."

What are you all talking about?

"Ridiculous! How could His Highness, so noble, possibly try to win over lowly outsiders like you every day?" The steward's words immediately silenced the three men.

"Shut up! How dare you speak like that? Apologize to the three gentlemen!" the Fourth Prince immediately reprimanded.

"I am very sorry, it was my fault for speaking out of turn." The steward of the Prince's mansion hurriedly knelt down and apologized.

The three people remained silent.

They finally understood that no matter what they did, the other party would still consider them outsiders.

This is a deeply ingrained xenophobic mentality.

They weren't actually sad.

Instead, they were all laughing at each other.

A feudal court is a feudal court; everyone only thinks about hierarchy and status.

His mind is full of stubborn, inflexible ideas.

They simply cannot see what true nobility is.

That's strength, financial resources, development capabilities, potential, and sustainability.

These are the things that command respect.

Without these things, you'll be easily killed by others in the end.

Just like the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber, which expert would take notice of them?

Anyone with eyes can see that their family is declining; with no one in charge for three or four generations, they are doomed.

Of course, because this world has extraordinary powers, the people in these feudal dynasties are relatively less rigid than those in ancient dynasties.

They understood to some extent that they had to win over the powerful and give them respect.

Therefore, the Sky Wolf Dynasty here, along with the laboratory and the Imperial Observatory, did not degenerate into a completely dark feudal dynasty that only knew how to play word games.

They also absorbed a lot of modern scientific knowledge from the players.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince immediately said, "The three gentlemen are well said."

"However, I am, after all, just a prince. If I were to aggressively recruit players, it might arouse the suspicion of the imperial court."

The three players were speechless upon hearing this.

He can't even do things properly.

This is the feudal dynasty.

Many difficulties are not inherent to the events themselves, but are caused by human factors.

To put it bluntly, it's a monopoly of power that leads to mutual suspicion and infighting among these people.

No one dares to completely trust others.

Because those who did this all eventually died.

At this point, Player One said helplessly, "Since that's the case, there's only one way now."

"That means offering a bounty, letting players kill each other."

"Yes, actually, the conspiracy we devised was quite good, but the imperial court was unwilling to do it that way. They didn't want to take the risk, and they didn't want the players to discover that they were the mastermind," Player Two sighed.

The Fourth Prince also sighed.

After all, what seemed like a conspiracy was actually an open strategy.

"Yes, but there's a major problem for the imperial court: they dare not take the risk, they're worried about retaliation from the players," the Fourth Prince said helplessly.

"If you're afraid of this and afraid of that, you can't get anything done."

"It seems there's only one way: to completely prevent rival players from entering this world," Player Two suddenly said.

"How can we be completely unable to enter this world?" The Fourth Prince's eyes lit up.

He naturally thought of one thing: if the players couldn't enter this world, these three wouldn't be able to either.

Player 1 said, "There's one way: find a weird thing that blocks the player's login point."

"Make players die the moment they log in, die the moment they log in."

"How can they log on then?"

"The only safe place to log in is Capital Island."

"In the end, only players who are close to the imperial court will be able to log in."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince immediately understood what the others were thinking.

"I see."

"Players are also afraid of monsters, so they try to use monsters to kill players. This is using monsters to control monsters!" he exclaimed with great joy.

"Yes, that's it." The three players nodded repeatedly.

"Great, I'll find a monster specifically designed to deal with players right away."

"I believe the Imperial Observatory should have quite a few."

At this point, the Fourth Prince immediately had an idea.

At the same time, he became highly vigilant.

These players are incredibly smart.

So he probed:

"Hmm, you guys are pretty smart, much smarter than the men under me."

"They can never come up with a good solution; they always just do the bare minimum."

The three players exchanged glances, but simultaneously gave a cold smile to each other.

Why can't you think of it?

We are all the same kind of people, with the same brain hardware.

Moreover, the people in the imperial court far outnumbered them; they were all highly skilled in composing poetry and cultivating martial arts.

The reason is simple.

Because the more you talk, the more mistakes you make; the more you do, the more mistakes you make.

Under a feudal dynasty, the more you say or do, the greater the chance of your entire family being wiped out.

After this process of elimination, those who remain are naturally the ones unwilling to speak.

Under such circumstances, naturally no one dared to say anything constructive.

Only when the body is free can the mind be free.

This is something the Fourth Prince clearly wouldn't understand.

Or rather, he didn't want to understand, nor was he willing to understand.

He only wanted a pack of dogs, and he demanded that these dogs be very intelligent, very well-behaved, and very loyal.

That's ridiculous.

Soon, with the help of the Imperial Observatory, they found something strange.

The old Daoist priests of the Imperial Observatory, in accordance with the prince's requirements, found a strange object that matched the criteria from years of archives.

The Fourth Prince was overjoyed after reading it:

"Haha, that's exactly what I want."

"This anomaly can simultaneously pinpoint the login locations of all players because it senses spatial fluctuations."

"As soon as a player enters our world, it will drag the player into its own space. At that point, if you can't crack it, you're dead."

One month later.

An island somewhere.

A player named "Hardest Stone" logged in.

However, after he logged in, a notification suddenly popped up in the game.

"Ding! You have been attacked by a strange entity."

"You are under login protection."

"To protect the safety of players, you are now forced to log off."

That player was immediately kicked out of the game.

It's similar to being kicked off the server in an online game.

"Damn it, how could this happen?"

"I made plans with a girl to go Farm BOSS today, and I haven't done my Alliance contribution quests yet," Stone said angrily.

He immediately asked the Game Help:

"What happened?"

"The game is currently investigating the cause; please wait."

And at this time...

Players who wanted to log off also encountered this problem.

Many people were shouting in the event channel:

"Something's wrong! As soon as we log off, we get a message saying we're under a strange attack and they're not letting us log off."

"Damn it, we can't go back!"

How could this be?

"Everything was fine yesterday, but suddenly today, I received a notification that I've been attacked by a strange entity."

"This is outrageous!"

A group of players were very frustrated there.

"Right, let's ask the big shots."

They quickly Gao Linzhi on the event channel.

Just then...

Gao Linzhi is also logging into the game.

After logging in, he also received a notification.

"You are being attacked by a strange entity."

"You have a banishing item. Would you like to use a Weird Story Instance Ticket?"

Gao Linzhi naturally used it directly.

"You have successfully created a bizarre story instance. Once the instance is cleared, the bizarre creature can be permanently banished."

Gao Linzhi then saw a familiar teleportation portal appear at the entrance of East Wolf Village.

That's the bizarre dungeon.

Fortunately, he was able to log in normally at this point.

At this moment, someone else said, "I'm in East Wolf Village; we can log in normally here."

"There's a new teleportation portal at the village entrance."

"How could this be? What kind of strange thing is this?"

Gao Linzhi quickly understood.

This was definitely done by the imperial court.

"Gentlemen, this should be the imperial court's counterattack."

"They don't dare fight us directly, so they're resorting to using supernatural beings against us." Gao Linzhi explained this to someone on the event channel for the first time.

"Moreover, this is a very powerful method."

"This tactic hits our vitals directly."

"This is tantamount to cutting off our connection between the two worlds."

"It can be said that this suggestion must have been made by an inside traitor; it would be difficult for ordinary court officials to think of this."

"Or rather, even if they have thought of it, they won't easily bring it up, because if they fail, it will invite our retaliation, the consequences of which they cannot bear."

Gao Linzhi now has a deep understanding of the Sky Wolf Dynasty's mentality.

He knew that as players became more powerful, the imperial court would become increasingly conservative.

Such an offensive tactic must have been proposed by the player's traitor.

They deeply understood that the player's greatest advantage was not resurrection, but the ability to travel between the two worlds.

After all, Revival Stone are very expensive, and most players can't afford them.

The ability to travel between the two worlds is the only truly fundamental benefit for players.

Even the poorest player, as long as their personal safety is guaranteed, can gradually develop an island by traveling between the two worlds.

After all, there is an oversupply of productivity in the real world.

It can be said that once the production line was started, supplies poured in like a tidal wave.

The reason most people can't do this is that the relevant channels are monopolized by Corporate Players.

They dared not make money through this method because it would be easy to expose their identities by purchasing large quantities of goods.

Although Gao Linzhi's influence has been established and the United Association has recognized the right of Rogue Players to survive and develop, game access is still very expensive.

This means that Rogue Players are still in danger once their identities are exposed.

This is similar to how the government prohibits robbery and protects people's legitimate wealth, but few people would dare to openly walk around the streets with millions of dollars in cash.

After hearing this, everyone began to think carefully.

"Yes, you're right, boss."

"Actually, the Game System is quite merciful; at least it gave us a chance to be protected and didn't let us get killed on our first encounter."

"That's true, but that means we won't be able to go online or offline."

"Just wait, the game will definitely be fixed."

"Yes, that's a game bug."

Sure enough, the Game System quickly activated the temporary mission.

"Ding! Congratulations, player, you have successfully activated the quest: Solve the Mysterious Spatial Anomaly."

"This anomaly can detect spatial fluctuations, directly affecting game login and logout."

"Task Rewards: Five additional slots added to your Game Backpack, and three additional skill slots added to your game skill bar."

Gao Linzhi one look and thought it was utterly useless.

Because he doesn't lack these things.

However, the other players were in an uproar.

"Damn, give it to the game skill slots!"

"I thought skill slots were only given when you leveled up."
