Volume 19, Chapter 145: The Potential Fat Sheep that I Almost Missed
"Ziri, is this request...?" Ditans immediately felt inappropriate as soon as he saw the request I gave.
In response to Ditans's hesitation, Rose said directly: "As long as you don't let others know, this request is nothing, right? We won't publicize everywhere that we use the three major temples to carry out espionage activities, will you? "Ditans and the others nodded quickly and said no. Rose quickly intercepted their words and said, "Isn't that a problem? You won't spread it around, and we won't tell it. So since no one knows, you are still afraid What?"
Ditans thought for a while and discussed it with Philindil and Marilyn next to him, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "No problem, just tell me what it is!"
"Very good, then please take a look at the last three conditions. As long as you accept them all, our transaction can begin to be executed immediately."
The remaining three conditions are relatively special. Ditans first turned back a page, and then discovered that the request written here was to ask the three major temples to help our guild train clergy.
In fact, we only recently found out that regular temples can accept entrusted training services, and the first person to discover that this kind of thing is possible was not a member of our guild, but an Italian player.
"Zero" is a global sex game. Its promotion stated that anyone can find the entertainment you like here. For example, I take the game route of an adventurer and a political speculator. And like Rose, she plays "Zero" completely as a simulation business game; Su Mei and the others play "Zero" as a strategy management game; Hongyue simply plays "Zero" Play it as a real-time strategy game. Of course, people like us are a marginalized group after all. Most people don’t have the hobbies or the capital to play such exaggerated games like ours. The real mainstream players in "Zero" should still be combat players. They are actually playing first-person fighting games.
Precisely because "Zero" has nearly unlimited game modes, it can satisfy all kinds of bizarre entertainment requirements of men, women, old and young almost all over the world. The Italian mentioned before is such an alternative player. His hobby is to try various possibilities. For example, let's see if there are any mysteries in the novice tasks in Novice Village, whether NPCs in certain urban fixed facilities can be summoned as familiars, or whether we can experiment with taming wild monsters without using capture skills. Anyway, people like them just like to try things that others don't think of or think are impossible. Moreover, these people also organized a forum to exchange various experiences and some strange functions that they successfully tried.
The Italian once tried to ask an NPC from his guild to go to a branch of the Temple of Light to inquire about training matters when he was bored. As a result, the guy who thought he would be rejected actually got an application form with detailed information on it. It states some necessary information such as training requirements, training personnel, training time, etc. Anyway, the content is very detailed. Based on this discovery, he finally sent a low-level combat NPC he bought for training, and he filled out the logistics management project for the purpose of doing experiments. As a result, he paid a large amount of crystals. After waiting for ten days, the cannon fodder combat NPC who was originally only level 500 turned into a senior manager and returned to the guild wearing a priest robe. Later, after the Italian's inspection, he found that all the previous combat attributes of this NPC had been retained, and he had also become an elite logistics management NPC. This discovery was quickly posted to the forum and spread quickly, and many guilds later confirmed that this method is indeed feasible.
However, although this method finally proved to be feasible, it had two major shortcomings. First, this kind of training costs money. It’s not just spending money, it’s spending a lot of money. The basic training fee for an NPC is as high as one hundred crystal coins. This money is enough to buy a low-level combat NPC, but this is only the basic value. If the project you want to train is more complex or requires the teaching to be completed in a short time, Then the final cost will rise with the tide. In fact, this is not the most expensive thing. The most expensive thing should be training elite NPCs. Everyone knows that elite NPCs can be encountered but cannot be sought, but the level setting of the temple's training subjects can actually train ordinary NPCs into elite-level existences. Of course, this exaggerated training effect corresponds to an equally exaggerated training cost. Even our guild can only occasionally train a few elite NPCs to respond to emergencies. It would be worse to exclusively rely on this method to obtain elite NPCs. It's cheaper to buy it from other guilds. Because the cost is so high, although various guilds know this method, they rarely use it. After all, the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low.
After reading the first of the remaining three requirements, Ditans looked at us in surprise and asked, "We didn't say we wouldn't help you train your staff? Why do we add this one?"
Rose didn't answer, but told him to look down. There were small additional contents behind that big request, and Ditans and the others immediately changed their expressions after reading it. "Isn't this too much? Even if you train for free, you actually need to train to the highest level, and you also want us to open combat training. We cannot accept this request, otherwise our temple will be drained by you sooner or later."
Rose smiled and said: "We can discuss this further. If free is not enough, we can also pay some fees appropriately, or it can still be free, but you can limit the number of people trained per month. As for combatant training and all elite plans, This is non-negotiable, if you refuse, then we will have nothing to talk about."
Seeing that we were biting each other so hard, the three main gods gathered together to discuss again. Finally, Ditans said: "We discussed it. You decide the number of people to train. There is no problem in training combatants, but the training of different arms The fees will be based on different charging standards. Our plan is that the training fee for combatants will be calculated at one-sixth of the direct purchase price, and the training fee for non-combatants will be based on one hundred crystal coins per person. Is this okay? "
Rose immediately nodded and said: "No problem, even if this one is passed, there are two more after that. You should discuss it as soon as possible."
After Ditans and the others confirmed, they started to turn over the page again, but when they turned over the page of the agreement, they found that there was only one page left at the end, and the remaining two items were all written on this page. The contents of these two requirements are very short, but compared to the previous resource requirements that account for more than 90% of the pages of the book, these two requirements are definitely more than ten times more demanding.
The penultimate requirement is: to sign a secret agreement, promising the absolute existence of the Temple of Chaos and Order within the sphere of influence of the three major temples.
The explanation of this agreement is that the three-party temples will suppress the guild gods established by other guilds, and ensure that our guild's Chaos and Order Temples occupy an absolutely dominant position in the European guild temple system.
This requirement seems to conflict with the interests of the three major temples themselves, but in fact it is not the same. If we compare the power of faith to herbivores, then temples can be understood as carnivores. They ensure their own survival and strength by hunting herbivores. On the surface, the chaos of our guild is in conflict with the divine forces such as the Temple of Order, Heaven and the Temple of Darkness, because they are all carnivores, and the power of faith that exists as food is limited. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and the only thing they are fighting for is food. However, the actual situation now is that the Temple of Chaos and Order has been established smoothly in China. The power of Heaven has not suppressed the Temple of Chaos and Order in our guild. Of course, there are reasons for this. And this reason is that the Temple of Chaos and Order does not compete with Heaven for the power of faith.
The power of faith in the game is actually not one but two. In the game, temples created and supported by guilds established by players are turned into guild temples or guild gods. The power of faith they consume is completely different from the power of faith required by system-set gods like Heaven. parts. One person, whether a player or an NPC, can provide the power of faith to both at the same time without affecting each other. Because of this setting of the system, there is no problem of competing for the power of faith between the two protoss, because the two are like two species whose food does not overlap at all. A's food and B's do not eat at all, and B's Food A will not eat either, so there will be no conflict between them at all.
Precisely because the two temples can coexist peacefully, there is nothing absolutely unacceptable about our requirements for the three temples. After all, the existence of the Chaos and Order temples will not harm the fundamental interests of the three temples. Of course, if they need to come forward to suppress other guilds and gods, then the three major guilds will need to pay a certain price. After all, the growth of their own guilds means that they may expand their sources of belief, and the guilds and gods who suppress their own guilds will have to pay a certain price. It will inevitably lead to those guilds being less competitive than our guilds, which is equivalent to harming their own interests, so the three major temples are so entangled.
After a fierce argument that lasted for more than ten minutes, Ditans finally nodded and agreed to the request, not because they thought of a solution. On the contrary, they agreed because they had no other choice. Promising us will only affect the expansion of their power in the future, and if we don't agree, their power will begin to shrink now. The lesser of two evils, the three major temples naturally know which one is more important.
After the penultimate request was approved, only the last request was left, and this one was also the most embarrassing for them. Because our last requirement is to connect the divine power cores of the four temples for knowledge sharing.
Everyone knows the significance of the core of divine power to the Protoss, and the knowledge recorded in it is even more priceless. If the four temples are to transmit knowledge to the Chaos and Order Protoss in our guild, then the price will definitely be staggering. You must know that the European Dark Temple and the European Light Temple are the headquarters of the dark and light temples around the world. The information recorded in their divine cores here is definitely more than the divine cores of the gods in any country. Although what we want to copy is only the knowledge part, not the top-secret secret information, the value transfer will definitely make the three major temples vomit blood.
Although Rose and I were already prepared for the last request to be rejected, unexpectedly, the final conclusion given by the three major temples was only limited development of the knowledge base, rather than a complete rejection. Moreover, this so-called limited opening is actually limited and very broad. Almost all low-level abilities are open, with only a few restrictions on forbidden arts and some theories that they have not yet confirmed. We can get at least 80% of them. The above amount of knowledge can be said to have exceeded the task.
After confirming the last request, Rose quickly showed her qualities as a professional negotiator. It only took her two minutes to figure out the complicated system settings and handed a system guarantee agreement to the three master gods. After the three of them stamped their names with their own divine power, the contract was fully effective. However, it was not until after the contract was signed that Ditans and the others suddenly screamed and remembered that they only wrote what they wanted to do in the contract and nothing. It stipulates which tasks I need to complete, which means that even if I don't do anything now, they must complete everything for me as required in the agreement, otherwise the system will force them to do it. This major mistake frightened the three main gods and almost fainted. In the end, Ditans just hugged my big thigh and burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, you guys are a bit like gods, okay? Thanks to all the confidants here, how else would it be spread out?" I first scolded them with a righteous look, and then said: "You all are here. I'll do it. Did I say I was going to default on the debt? Don't worry. Although my asking price from Ziri is a bit harsh, my credibility is still guaranteed. Isn't it just the Olympus Protoss that is encroaching on your territory? It doesn't matter, I'll do it right away. Go and let them have no time to invade your territory. Of course, you must seize the time and take advantage of me to cause trouble for Olympus and quickly get back the stolen sphere of influence. If you can counter-invasion, that would be better. After all, your sphere of influence will also be a preying ground for our Temple of Chaos and Order in the future. The larger your territory, the happier I will be."
Upon hearing my assurance, the three main gods immediately looked grateful and said a lot of good things, for fear that I would regret it. Of course, I had no choice but to give face to them for being so enthusiastic, so in the end I reluctantly gave them the task of searching for the last Book of the World for me. After all, according to the mark on the map, the book should be at the South Pole. nearby. The climate in Antarctica is harsh enough in reality. In the game, that ghost place is simply a restricted area for life. Let alone people, the flames can be instantly frozen into a flaming ice. Although my equipment is quite cold-resistant, it is better not to go to that damn place.
For Ditans and the others, they have already passed the three prostrations and nine prayers, so there is no need to tremble anymore. So when I heard that I just wanted them to help me find the book, I immediately promised to help me find the book. As for whether they could find it, that wasn't something I had to worry about. I think if the three major temples join forces, they won’t be unable to find this book, right?
After the negotiation, I sent the rose back to Tianyu City and started heading directly towards Italy. However, due to Linglong's reasons, I still couldn't use a flying bird to travel, so I had to be lucky. Fortunately, although Lucky is not as fast as a flying bird, flying is much faster than walking.
Although this mission was to deal with the Olympus Protoss, I did not plan to go directly to Greece, because in this matter, I suddenly thought of another guy who should give me some benefits.
The protoss system in "Zero" is set up like this. First, two temples of light and darkness are set up for each country as the guiding protoss that initially contacts the players. They are more like the offices arranged by the system in the game. However, although the temples of light and darkness are spread all over the world, they are not complete. Just like Ling was the goddess of darkness in China, she and Ditans did not belong to each other at all, except that Ling knew that the temple of darkness in China came from Europe. Apart from the split of the Dark Temple, there is no relationship between the two.
In addition to the Temple of Light and Darkness, the game also sets up each country's own divine system according to the beliefs of each country in reality, such as China's Heavenly Court and Japan's Gaotian Yuan God Clan. These are both divine systems set according to real-life legends. . This kind of real Gods intersects with the Temple of Light and Darkness in the game, and there is a certain competitive relationship between the two. However, due to system protection, the general situation is that the local Gods cannot destroy the Light and Dark Gods, but But they are generally stronger than these two temples.
According to this theory, Christianity, which has the widest spread in reality, naturally exists, and the Vatican is naturally indispensable. Of course, unlike reality, Jehovah really lives in this place, not just a group of priests or popes.
Geographically speaking, the two major temples of light and darkness located in Germany and France are actually separated from the Olympus in Greece by the territory of God. Now that even Ditans and the others who are far away in Germany and France have come to ask me for help, there is no reason why God's territory, which is closer, has no influence at all, right? So, since he was affected, when I attacked the Olympus Protoss, he must be one of the beneficiaries, and it is very likely that he is the one who benefits the most.
After getting my help, it is definitely impossible not to give money. My Ziri advantage is not so easy to take advantage of. Therefore, instead of flying directly to Greece, I will go to Italy first. No matter what, I have to talk to God first. If I don't get some benefits from him, wouldn't I be very sorry for myself and the bleeding Ditans?
