Chapter 35 - 35 35 The Second Group of the Undead
35: Chapter 35: The Second Group of the Undead 35: Chapter 35: The Second Group of the Undead 1.02 update is here.
Lind looked at the “cosers” outside the gates of Star Dragon Ridge, dressed only in white briefs and white tube tops, and felt somewhat amazed.
The number was probably around forty or fifty.
Geralt, Goku, Naruto Uzumaki, Buddha, Bald Qiang, Frieza…
There were some with normal looks, but they were either devastatingly handsome or devastatingly ugly, with a severe polarization of appearance.
The moment Lind showed up, everyone started boiling with excitement.
Controlling at least forty or fifty players with just nine soldiers was a bit difficult, but luckily these people had all seen videos of Star Dragon Ridge.
Even those who hadn’t, upon discovering they had been teleported to Star Dragon Ridge, would immediately
We’re all seasoned hands here, the more praise, the better—we love it!
“Go and repair the previous breaches in the walls, make them stronger, so we can all sleep better.
I’m willing to pay 10 Rand Gold Coins to any Undead willing to help, and if you want to group up for the task and split the reward, that’s fine too.”
“Are there any other tasks?” The players were not in a rush to act, over forty of them crowding together, eagerly waiting for his reply.
Lind continued, “The crisis at the Scavenger’s Nest has been averted, but perhaps there are still other things hidden there.
I am very curious about the appearance of the Carrion Queen, and maybe you can uncover some secrets.”
Compared to the previous task, this one had no reward, no monsters to fight, just the vague promise of “secrets.” Though the players’ eyes glittered, not a single one was willing to take on the task.
Because among them, 56 players were the unfortunate ones who had been strolling around bare-assed, acquiring nothing but views.
Only Loves White Silk and the other four seasoned Undead cared more about this task.
Although their combat strength wasn’t strong, after another round of leveling up and equipment upgrades, they had completely outpaced these players.
What if there was a hidden storyline, what if?
Lind went on, “Star Dragon Ridge needs food.
Hunt or search for food, and for every 10 pounds of meat or grain you bring back, you’ll get 2 Rand Gold Coins.
That’s all for now, but perhaps we can talk more about the development of the territory tonight.”
This task excited the Undead players because it didn’t involve monster hunting.
They needed equipment right now, so they were really short on money.
The players began to conspiratorially discuss right in front of Lind, “I think this must be a bug; as long as we find enough food, we can just keep farming Gold Coins!”
“Is food expensive in this game?”
“It’s the apocalypse, so it’s probably out of respect for the setting.
But I think the dev team might have overlooked this.
What if later on 1000 pounds of food could be exchanged directly for a full set of armor?
Wouldn’t that just be the best?”
“I wanna buy a set of armor!”
Watching more than half of them eagerly leave to search for food, Lind chuckled to himself.
Bug?
No, I just want food, actual grain!
Even with 1000 pounds of food, so what if I gave out a set of armor.
With enough food, the benefits he could gain were definitely more than the players could imagine.
But there were ten players who remained unmoved, even though Lind had made it clear that there were no more tasks for the time being.
They didn’t hurry; instead, they chose to chat and interact with the surrounding environment, letting out occasional “oohs.”
The ones who had rushed to leave were clearly the “Achiever” type of players, and the kind Lind needed for development—these people were veteran players very devoted to their gaming.
[Note 1]
The remaining ten players must be the current least useful “Socializers,” those for whom making friends trumped playing the game.
Clearly, neither the rewards nor penalties Lind proposed could satisfy these players who desired nothing.
For them, social interaction was more important.
Lind currently labeled himself as producing “soul-type” games, not “Pokemon Go” or “Animal Crossing.”
Thus, getting them on board was proving to be difficult.
