529 Can You Believe It! (1/2)
In contrast, Hussos post, which took several hours to upload and falsely accuse Roland, was just a popular post.
This was a very real difference.
Husso was just an ordinary leisure player, only level two, and also just a branch deputy chairman, working for someone else, with no reputation.
His post had become a popular post only because it had rubbed off on the name Roland.
Roland was now the highest-level player in the entire server, the first to reach level ten, the strongest Mage in the entire server, and most likely still the strongest amongst players.
He had two divine artifacts and controlled a city behind the scenes.
He also snatched a queen as a companion.
Many other deeds could be told; Husso was not even on the same level as Roland.
Hussos previous post only got so much traffic because it benefited from the popularity of Rolands name. And now that Roland himself had posted, there were a large number of people who wanted to see what was going on.
Although it became a hot topic in three minutes, it took about ten minutes after posting for someone to reply.
After all, it took time to watch the video, even if one had fast-forwarded through it.
Tsk, I had thought that Cornucopia only monopolized a small portion of the industry resources in a small number of cities, but I never thought that they had dabbled in all of Hollevins medium and large cities. Amazing, amazing.
Monopoly aside, they forcefully lowered the purchase price and greatly increased the selling price, as expected of new-era capitalists. This is even more ruthless than the merchants of the feudal era.
I have a say in this matter. I worked part-time as a hunter some time ago. Originally, the purchase price for a complete wolf skin was one silver coin, and the fur merchants selling price was usually around three silver coins, but after Cornucopia pushed out these merchants, the purchase price became thirty-seven bronze coins, and the selling price increased to five silver coins. Now Im no longer hunting. I can only go to the Guild of Mercenaries to take on quests as a bodyguard. I dont quite like to fight and kill, but theres no better option.
In my city, Cornucopia has also monopolized the food banks, and now the price of food has risen by at least fifty percent, and a large number of commoners are starving. Its pitiful to look at.
For businessmen, isnt it normal to pursue profit? And no ones restricting them. Roland stood out and was framed.
Why dont the territories around the world target Cornucopia? Cornucopia is now banking on the players power! Nowadays, all the NPCs know that it is extremely unwise to offend the Golden Sons. They all have qualms and dont dare to do anything to Cornucopia.
What can we do? This game has a penalty for malicious killing, and the other side has the players hard-earned reputation backing them, and theyre taking advantage of a loophole in the system to cause trouble, so theres no way to get them.
How unpleasant.
Na
Upstairs, youre all fast-forwarding through the video. I watched the video in its entirety, and now Ive received a blue quest to deal with Cornucopias members in the city Im in at the moment. Kill them and open the free flow of food!
??? F**k, really? Ill try it.
Its true, Ive triggered it too.
So Almighty Roland is here to deliver the quest? Love you!
As expected, I had to watch it all, and I cant even fast-forward one second. A gold quest for me to kill the chairman of Cornucopia? Oh sh*t, Im a bit scared. Ive heard that their chairman is a super-rich man in reality. If I kill him, will he take revenge on me in real life?
Idiot, you dont know how to disguise yourself? Its not a traditional online game, your name wont be displayed above your head. Just mask your face, put on a black suit, and kill him. No one will know who did it.
The impressive one upstairs, please sit down. I feel like my nine-year compulsory education was in vain.
I learned something.
Just realized now? Isnt this a basic operation? At least we Thieves and Assassins are masked every day. Ive almost forgotten what I look like in the game.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Roland was relieved when he finally saw that someone had received a quest.
The purpose of sending this video was to use the kings speech to release quests.
Of course, it was only experimental and not a hundred percent certain.
Rolands impression of Cornucopia wasnt very good. It wasnt very good before, and it was even worse now.
It wasnt significant to restrict Cornucopia in Delpon alone, but it would be different if a wave could be started against Cornucopia in Hollevin and their roots dug up directly. The situation would be different then.
For now, it seemed to be working well.
