Chapter 58 Buffalo King, Attack!(1/2)
It seems that due to the previous upgrade, the overall movement speed of Sui Yu's team is obviously much faster than before.
Therefore, after walking for less than an hour, everyone followed the guidance of the mission information and quickly arrived at the destination - a post built on a small hill.
From here, you can overlook Lingshe Peak in the distance.
Presumably the main function of this post is to monitor Spirit Snake Peak, right?
There are many dangerous places in "Alien", but due to the increase in population, the pioneer knights had to work hard to push the towns and villages into some inaccessible areas.
Therefore, as newly established villages and towns border on some dangerous areas, if you are not careful, it may develop into a crisis of national annihilation.
Therefore, each country in "Alien" can only nip the danger in the bud as much as possible by closely monitoring each dangerous place.
At worst, you should be as responsive as possible when disaster strikes and try to stop losses.
"Well, the damage of the goods is very low? It's almost intact. It seems that the mayor has found a good expert to be responsible for the delivery this time!"
The outpost soldier in charge of sundries broke the seal of the box in front of Sui Yu, and then took out the contents of the box one by one and checked them against the list of goods sealed in the box.
Just like what the mayor said, the things Sui Yu transported this time were basically some dried meat and dried fruits, and there seemed to be two pots of wine in metal pots hidden inside.
There are also some letters.
After unscrewing the jug, the soldier responsible for the inspection smelled the aroma of wine in the jug and immediately looked intoxicated. However, after wiping his saliva, he still moved the things into the guard post very dutifully.
After a while, the soldier took out the metal box that had been folded into a brick-sized box.
"Now, take the storage box back with you. As long as you give the storage box and the letter I put in it to the mayor's house, your mission will be completed. The deposit and mission rewards can be collected directly from the housekeeper."
"In the future, you don't need to find the mayor. If you want to deliver goods, you only need to ask the mayor's butler. Tell him and he will try his best to arrange a delivery time for you."
The soldier wearing a standard armor and a standard helmet said this and opened the visor of his helmet and said to Sui Yu with a smile: "To be honest, it is very rare to have an excellent delivery expert like you. I guess if you are willing to pick up and deliver
If you have a cargo mission, the butler will definitely help you jump in line and arrange the mission!"
Well, it seems that since Sui Yu completed this mission very well, he can continue to do this recurring mission in the future.
Moreover, you can fight monsters and level up along the way, and you can also complete many Adventurer Guild tasks. It can be said that your efficiency is maximized!
Of course, Sui Yu almost guessed the real reason why the outpost soldier worked so hard to persuade Sui Yu to accept the mission.
According to the information obtained in Future Memory, although every NPC or aboriginal in "Alien" has the authority to issue tasks to players.
But if broken down, all tasks will be divided into two major categories.
One of the major categories is the various hidden tasks randomly issued by the "Alien" system.
In these tasks, the aborigines responsible for issuing tasks are really used as NPCs. The aboriginals responsible for issuing system tasks only need to be actors, cooperating with the plot designed by the system to interpret the tasks issued by the system.
As for the rewards players receive or the mission props they pay during mission execution, they actually have nothing to do with the aborigines who issued the mission.
At most, the indigenous people who have obtained the right to release hidden tasks from the system can choose the target of task release according to their own preferences.
Another major category is the tasks issued by the indigenous people according to their own circumstances.
For this kind of task, the indigenous people usually pay a certain amount of remuneration to hire players to do it.
Therefore, this kind of mission may encounter deceptive missions, which are extremely tiring or very dangerous, but in the end there is not much gain.
However, this does not mean that such tasks, which are systematically guaranteed and can be directly displayed in the player's task system, can be promulgated at will.
At the very least, the number and frequency of tasks that each aboriginal can issue vary greatly depending on their status and class.
Among them, aborigines who have held public offices, such as town mayors, can issue a large number of tasks in the name of the town.
Well, in addition to that, the Adventurer's Guild also has the authority to publish a large number of quests.
However, if ordinary aborigines want to issue a task and ask players for help, they will be subject to extreme restrictions. It may take several months to be eligible to issue a task.
Therefore, the total number of tasks that are seriously unequal in effort and reward can be controlled - if no player takes a task that is too deceiving, the opportunity to issue the task will be wasted.
Of course, in comparison, more cost-effective tasks are obtained from aborigines with public offices such as the town mayor.
However, when dealing with these aborigines who hold official positions, you must also be cautious.
Because if you are not careful, you may be cheated!
Maybe on the surface it is a very cost-effective task, but in fact it is very costly - the aborigines also know how to use information asymmetry to deceive people!
Just like this cargo delivery task, it seems to be just an ordinary errand task, which is an extremely common task in other virtual online games.
But the actual situation is much more complicated than what appears on the surface.
Obviously we can transport supplies in large quantities through a fleet, why do we need to assign players to transport them individually by issuing tasks?
Why did the soldiers at the outpost repeatedly encourage Sui Yu to take on more delivery missions after discovering that the damage to the materials delivered by Sui Yu was very low?
To put it bluntly, in addition to the reason that it is not easy to transport some supplies slowly by large trucks, the main reason is that a powerful team like Sui Yu's team can help the mayor communicate with the outpost in the shortest possible time.
Hidden news!
letter!
Although there were many soldiers at one outpost, Sui Yu keenly noticed that the number of letters delivered this time did not seem to be large at all.
So, do so many soldiers really receive letters from their families?
Obviously, there is something weird about those extra letters!
If Sui Yu's prediction is correct, I'm afraid there should be a lot of secret documents hidden in these letters!
In addition, when the outpost soldier went in to write a letter just now, he wrote for more than half an hour. I am afraid that if the reply letter is interpreted according to certain rules, many secrets can be discovered, right?
In addition, Sui Yu knew that although aborigines could summon mobile phones like players, many of the functions that players could use were not available to aborigines.
Like the text messaging function, because aborigines cannot use the friend system, they cannot use the text messaging function at all.
Therefore, Sui Yu understood the reason why the mayor specially met with him and assigned him this seemingly ordinary task.
To put it bluntly, I valued my previous performance when the robbers attacked, so I gave myself this seemingly ordinary task that was actually of great importance!
If you think about it this way, it seems to be a bit of a loss.
No way, this kind of task of delivering confidential information cannot be paid with just one thousand chaos gold coins!
However, considering that this task is very simple overall, if you encounter a dangerous situation in the future, you can still pretend not to know and reject it.
In addition, once you establish a good relationship with the mayor through this mission, you may receive more lucrative missions in the future...
"Well, don't worry! Such a good task, I will definitely do it more times in the future!"
Sui Yu smiled and promised the soldiers at the outpost that he would do more of this delivery task in the future. Then Sui Yu folded the sealed letter into a brick-sized storage box and hung it on his waist.
Later, after taking the large backpack full of beef from Ning and carrying it on his back, Sui Yu smiled and waved goodbye to the soldiers at the outpost and embarked on the road back to the town.
Sometimes you have to give up to get something.
The way of giving up is very complicated.
Simply giving up your own interests may lead to a vicious cycle of giving up more and more.
But I am not willing to give up my own interests at all. Maybe on the surface there is no loss, but in fact I get a lot less benefits. From a high level, it is actually a loss.
So in many cases, how to choose is really a very complicated knowledge.
But now, based on the experience in his future memory, Sui Yu quickly made a choice.
That is, let’s not worry about the low income from transporting secret documents for the time being. Anyway, on the whole, we still make money for ourselves.
Then, after you gain the trust of the mayor by doing this task several times, you can receive real money... no, you can even receive tasks with various other benefits in addition to money!
In the long run, no matter how you look at it, you will definitely make a profit!
If you are lucky, if you get a letter of introduction from the mayor, you may be able to find a good career path in a larger nearby city when you need to move your base in the future!
"Alien" is a real alien world!
Although it is not bad for players to have a game mentality and explore the world.
But if you want to truly integrate into this world and really stand out in this world, it is better to integrate into this world from the bottom of your heart!
No, Sui Yu has already begun to silently plan for his future in his heart!
And just as Sui Yu was recalling the nearby information he had received from Ning before, he was thinking about which direction his team should develop after it is strong enough, and how he should find out various information about other nearby towns and territories during this period so that he can prepare in advance.
When it comes to making a choice...
Rumble, rumble...
"What sound?!"
Dongjie exclaimed and looked at a small hill next to him. After hearing the roar that was getting closer and closer, Ning quickly lowered his voice and reminded everyone: "No! Listening to this sound, it should be a herd of bison heading towards us.
Come quickly!"
The charge of the buffalo herd is very strong. To be honest, if they had not used the big hole dug by Wu Qiong and others to block monsters, Sui Yu and the others would not have dared to attack the herd on this bison grassland easily.
But now, there are no big pits around for Sui Yu and others to get stuck.
And in this environment, once you are attacked by a herd of cattle, you don't need to think about it, it is definitely very dangerous!
not to mention……
As a herd of bison circled a hill not far away and appeared in Sui Yu's field of vision, the leading bison with golden horns flashed looked like a boss!
To be continued...
