Looking at the two characters [ Soaring Clouds ] that he had personally typed into the ID search bar, [ Do Some Farm Work ] couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
For someone used to using outrageous IDs, this kind of ID full of childish and chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) style made him feel somewhat physically uncomfortable.
But the work still had to be done. He pressed the search button, and dozens of player IDs prefixed with " Soaring Clouds " popped up.
Most of these IDs are followed by abbreviations of the initial basic four-dimensional attributes, such as [ Soaring Clouds 2828 ], [ Soaring Clouds ], [ Soaring Clouds ], etc. Besides the fact that the sum equals twenty, you can also smell a hint of perfunctoriness.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that game IDs that use a uniform prefix usually come from two types of organizations: guilds and studios.
[ Soaring Clouds ] Studio was the partner selected by [ Do Some Farm Work ] after investigation.
Guilds and studios are unavoidable issues for any massively multiplayer online game, and World of Disorder is no exception.
To simply cut off this group of players because Ed has memories of another world would be far too simplistic.
Moreover, these players are unlikely to significantly impact the normal operation of " World of Disorder," which boasts a huge technological advantage; in fact, they could be said to have generated considerable revenue for Ed.
Unlike games where resources can be farmed without limit, every body in the World of Disorder must be controlled by a genuine human soul, making it impossible to use scripts to farm resources or run multiple accounts.
While chopping down trees for twelve hours in World of Disorder may not cause physical fatigue in the real world, it's like working on an assembly line—it can still induce a sense of exhaustion from the soul.
For these people, the World of Disorder is not a game, but a job; they are not here to relax.
In order to prevent these "pure dummy" players from affecting the gaming experience of normal players, Ed cleverly used his unseen online influence to strictly control the number of game qualification activation codes obtained by the studios and guilds.
Therefore, even though the World of Disorder test has been going on for quite some time, players still rarely see groups of gold farmers, and are also rarely affected by them.
But [ Do Some Farm Work ] knew these people existed, and now he was going to find their leader to discuss cooperation.
He scrolled down the search results and quickly found his target, a player named [ Soaring Clouds-- ]. His ID only had a symbol after it and no abbreviation of basic attributes, so he was obviously the leader of this group, and he was currently online.
After clicking the friend request, [ Do Some Farm Work ] received a private message almost immediately:
"Hello boss, this is Soaring Sky Studio. How can I help you?"
The real-life "[ Do Some Farm Work ]" player's lips twitched. He hadn't expected the other person to be so professional... This guy was really treating the game like a job!
He thought for a moment and typed a reply:
How many of your gold farming accounts are currently high enough to enter Fir City?
[ Soaring Clouds-- ]: "Based on the previous recommendation levels, there should be about ten."
[ Do Some Farm Work ]: "I'd like to hire these ten people to do some chores. How much will it cost?"
Are you asking about the real-world price or the price in the game?
"Game."
"Each person earns six silver coins a day (Note: NPCs earn around one silver coin a day, some can earn two silver coins, regular players earn two to three silver coins a day, and hardcore players earn close to four silver coins). They can do anything, and they will take care of themselves if they get injured or lose an arm or leg, but if they die, you will need to pay a resurrection fee."
"That's no problem, but I should be able to specify the resurrection method, right? For example, direct resurrection would cost one gold coin, but if I prepare some body parts in advance, the cost can be further reduced."
"No problem. You can specify that these players will respawn at a specific location, at a specific time, and in a specific manner. Rest assured, as long as it's within the hiring period, they will completely obey your orders."
"That's fine then. Let's talk about the price. I plan to hire ten at once, and the hiring period won't be short. Are there any discounts available?"
[ Do Some Farm Work ] and [ Soaring Clouds-- ] talked for a long time and finally settled on a price of five silver coins per person per day. The agreement would start in three days.
Because of the discount, these hired accounts won't prepare their own healing items, making them likely to die easily if used.
But this was not within the scope of [ the Do Some Farm Work ]'s considerations, or rather, it was simply part of his plan.
The strategy developed by [ Do Some Farm Work ] can be called the "Middle Eastern strategy" in real-world terms. In the game of searching, attacking, and retreating, you are invincible as long as you don't want to retreat.
Now, without searching or withdrawing, he intends to use these invincible suicide trucks to turn the entire Fir City upside down.
Having confirmed that the ten thugs would be in place soon, [ Do Some Farm Work ] began his next step in the plan.
Now, all members of the [ Avengers ] chat group are managed by him and [ Good Times Don't Last ]. After discussing it, the two quickly decided on a new strategy.
Most players with even a little combat strength were assigned to Dungeon in several towns to continuously farm resources.
Those Stained Ones were captured and modified in previous battles have long since become NPC enemies that spawn regularly in various Dungeon.
By spending money or resources like flesh and blood to open Dungeon, players can not only gain experience from the battles, but also obtain loot such as arms and legs.
These things may seem a bit gory, but they can save players some of the resurrection cost when they are resurrected. So most players actually save up some arms and legs to use when they are resurrected after an accidental death.
The items dropped by these Avengers players were transported by Dragonborn and casual players under [ Good Times Don't Last ] in the form of Hoofed Beast wagons to Fir City, the closest Black Locust Town, for players to use after resurrecting.
Nuolun sensed that the atmosphere in Black Locust Town had been off these past two days. As the current administrator of the town, she felt that the Soul Returner had a fiery temper, which was completely different from their previous carefree attitude.
Because this revenge plan was entirely spontaneous, Ed didn't tell Nuolun anything.
Sensing something was amiss, Nuolun eventually reported the matter to the Son of God Child through the Root Network, only to receive a single reply:
"Just wait and see."
