Chapter 126 - Hidden Mission



Chapter 126: Hidden Mission

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Springtime arrived. The City of Dawn became busy with farming.

It was not a big deal to the players.

But to William, Farming was the most important activity, and all other matters were subordinate to it. Before the spring rain, they had to sow the seeds.

Those commoners who had farmland went to Rainbow Lake to look for the Tauren Warriors. The farmers wanted to borrow buffaloes to sow the land…

That was right.

Fiu Roeser’s tribe proved to be very useful in these cases. The Tauren Warriors had to watch over the Orcs who were excavating in the ore mine and also feed the farming buffaloes…

The Taurens had mixed feelings towards the buffaloes. They were almost like half their kind.

Even their appearances were similar.

Both of them had horns and a tail.

The difference was that buffaloes walked on all four hooves while the Tauren walked on two. Due to their similarities, the Taurens took great care of the buffaloes.

Also, William gave strict orders prohibiting the torture and killing of the buffaloes. This made the Taurens very happy.

The City of Dawn did not have large arable lands.

Hence, cultivation happened only in the plains next to the steep cliff.

But with the recent completion of the Light Fortress, many commoners had started farming near the fortress.

“The City of Dawn is located in the subtropics, so there should be two harvests in a year. Hopefully, we’ll have good weather…” A player prayed for good weather. He was immersed in his role.

“Bro, this is a magical world. We have the water elemental mages…”

“…” A fight broke out as the player who was praying unsheathed his sword.

Tens of days had elapsed in the game world. Fighting broke out in the wilderness, and small-scale guild wars, murders, and robberies also took place.

It was just a game, after all. Players would get bored as the main plot mission was yet to be announced. They had to find ways to entertain themselves.

Even the City of Dawn that had good law and order was not spared from the fighting. But the players did not fight within the city. Instead, they went out of the city and had duels and small scale battles…

William stood on the ramparts. He surveyed the players who did not like to do missions and caused troubles. Suddenly, an idea sparked in his mind.

He called for Odom

In just a few minutes,

Odom arrived before William. He had run all the way and he huffed and puffed. Swinging his golden hair back, he asked, “My Lord, why is the matter?”

“I was just looking at these chosens. They seem bored and restless. What do you think of building a fighting arena for them?”

Odom’s eyes lit up and he clapped in admiration. “That’s a good idea, my Lord. Since the coming of the chosen ones, casualties have only increased.

“Even though they fight among themselves, it creates a disorder in the society. If we can build a fighting arena, it would for the best. Then they can expend their energy in the fights.”

“Hehe, look at the bigger picture too. It’s not about just the gladiator fights. There are many rich commoners who have an interest in watching such dramas. The arena that we will build would be bigger. And we would charge entrance fees when the commoners enter to watch the fighting.”

Odom pondered for a while. Then he nodded excitedly and said, “That’s great thinking. Why don’t we award them titles like God of War too…

“And give them some rewards to stimulate their fighting spirit. We will earn quite a bit from the entrance fees…

“We can learn from the nobles of the Human nations. Whether it’s the young or old, man or woman, everyone loves to watch such exciting fighting.

“But the fighting arenas of the Human nations are too cruel and bloody.

“But this would be different. The participants now would be the chosen ones, and they can afford to die…”

William was very pleased as he looked at Odom. Odom possessed the ability to make money off the rich. That was excellent.

William patted his shoulder and said, “I’ll let you handle this matter. Build it in the new district. Remember, make the arena grander.

“At the same time, capture some magical beasts and select some strong Orcs from the mines. Give some decent weapons to the Orcs…”

“I understand” Odom laughed loudly before he ran off.

“We have another way of making money. I’ll have to research the ranking system. It may have a great effect on the players.”

William scratched his head and pondered. The game Gods had a level ranking but no ladder ranking.

The levels of the players were too low. Moreover, the players were dispersed throughout three opposing regions. The Iron Nation and the Black Lava Nation were busy fighting, and they were too poor to build arenas. Hence, the ladder ranking only became available in the second game version.

When Iron Nation defeated the Black Lava Nation, the ladder ranking appeared in the arenas built by Iron Nation.

At that time, the players gathered in the Iron Nation. Grand arenas were built in the Iron Nation to cater to the competitive nature of the chosen ones…

Under the guidance of the Gods’ game intelligence, besides the level ranking, the other ranking systems had also been created by NPCs.

“I can implement the ladder ranking before them. I can use it to prove the true capability of a player. Every month, a tournament season would take place.

“There will be a new God of War in every tournament season. The winner will be rewarded with a gold-quality weapon. This will be a good way to attract players.”

William understood what the professionals really wanted.

Fame!

What was the use of the current level ranking?

It showed how capable the player was. Within tens of days, some players were able to reach level 18.

But there was a shortcoming in such rankings. The players who had reached such levels had just used the experience points to level up their characters. They showed no regard for upgrading the secret manuals or skill levels.

Hence, such a ranking was not tenable for the professionals who were still at level 12 to 13.

“It’s time to prove the true worth of the players…”

William was about to walk down the ramparts when a figure appeared before him.

“Greetings, Lord of the City of Dawn and the most revered commander. I have a matter to report.”

William looked at Changli Jiuge who was down on one knee. Changli Jiuge was a better boot-licker than his subordinate NPCs.

William almost laughed out but he managed to turn it into a light cough. Then he said coldly, “Oh! Changli Jiuge, what matters are you reporting?”

Changli Jiuge observed the emotionless expression of William and glanced at his affinity level that had only three points. He immediately closed his eyes.

When his eyes were reopened, they had turned red and became filled with tears. He sobbed, “My Lord, I have a poor family background…”

William was stunned.

“After becoming a chosen one and a mercenary my Lord, I’m exhilarated beyond measure.

“But I’m slow-witted by nature. Even if I work hard, I still am not powerful. I can’t help my Lord in battles. I’m angry with my incompetence and stupidity!” Changli Jiuge wailed as he beat his chest.

Changli Jiuge was losing blood and health points…

“My Lord, if you can bestow me a chance to be stronger, I’ll gladly become your slave without any complaint.” Changli Jiuge looked earnestly at William.

The evolution of virtual games advanced at a breakneck speed and the NPCs’s intelligence had only increased. Missions were no longer passively triggered by the NPCs. Instead, the missions were proactively sought by the NPCs.

Changli Jiuge knew about this, and he wanted to try it out…

William frowned. He pondered for two minutes before he said, “I’ll give you a chance. Help me accomplish a mission.”

[You received a single hidden mission]

[Exploration of the Devil’s Den: There is an abandoned Devil’s Den located in a valley 50 kilometers southwest of the City of Dawn. The Lord wants you to scout the den and see if there are new occurrences of dark creatures.]

[Mission Difficulty: Unknown]

[Mission Reward: Unknown]

Changli Jiuge agreed to carry out the mission with exhilaration…

William was relieved as he watched Changli Jiuge leave. He pondered for two minutes before he had come up with the mission. It was not easy at all…
