Chapter 543: Chapter 61: A Task Beyond Time and Space
“All These Are Plot Props”
“The tables have turned, streamer, got anything else to say?”
“Streamer: Listen to my excuse, everyone!”
Many ordinary players burst into noise, filling the live streaming room with a joyful atmosphere.
But at the same time, those real high-ranked players watching the stream were all unsettled now.
Holy shit, the task actually rewards legendary items?! Just for the things that Dragon Descendant did during the stream, why does he deserve it?
Thinking of how stingy their own NPC was when mentioning rewards, compared to the situation on the Last Dragon Descendant’s side, they instantly felt sour.
“Dragon Descendant, do you still need people on your side? I’m willing to be a helper, really!”
“He can’t see the barrage! Haven’t we been saying that?”
“I understand all that, but I still hope the streamer can respond to my question.”
As everyone envied the Last Dragon Descendant’s good fortune, the Elf sighed resignedly at the temporary Task [Cooperation] that just popped up on his panel.
Fine, you’re the boss, as long as you’re happy.
Thinking thus, the Elf raised the gemstone in hand, aiming it at the live stream camera.
“…Forget it, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything before. Now watch closely, everyone, I’m going to perform a magic trick. As soon as I click this option, click—it’ll become bound!”
Although it’s a bit embarrassing to just explain those were all plot props and then to personally receive one, a legendary material that’s come into possession, however stingy, is obviously not just any ordinary legendary material.
As if he wouldn’t dare take it on stream? Not happening!
There’s no such thing as a free lunch under the sky; since he dared to stream the whole process risking exposure, he naturally had his confidence.
His personal strength is already top-notch among players, and as a special external aid player for Radiance, the club is also his backup. If someone wants to expose him, they’d have to risk being exposed by him instead.
As for assassination through the native forces, please, he’s now a member of the Olivendi Family.
After dealing with this hot potato publicly, among the barrage of ‘only a real man would not bind it’, the Last Dragon Descendant calmly adjusted the camera to face Anvis.
“Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce, this is my boss, the great and generous Mr. Anvis.”
Saying so, the Elf gestured towards Anvis, who ‘seemed to become aware’ and glanced towards the camera.
“The ‘live stream’ you mentioned, does it still function in the Legendary Strongman’s independent Secret Realm? So you’re saying, many foreigners can now see this place?”
Pretending to be clueless, Anvis wore a ‘dubious’ look, as if questioning the words of the Last Dragon Descendant.
“Hehe, silly NPC, how could you possibly understand the power of the system.”
“Hey you there, no talking about my hubby like that!”
“Is the streamer formally explaining live streaming to the natives? Is this an attempt to break the fourth wall?”
“Give breaking the fourth wall a rest, I once tried to explain to NPCs that they’re living inside a game world. Want to guess how ‘well done’ I ended up?”
Seeing Anvis seriously questioning the existence of system live streaming, the audience in the live room suddenly felt a sense of superiority.
So what if you’re strong, can you jump out of the screen and hit me?
“Yes, Mr. Anvis, the live stream feature is operating normally. If you wish not to disclose our exploration process, I can shut it down any time.”
The Last Dragon Descendant didn’t think too much about it; after all, Anvis was not a player and couldn’t see the livestream panel, so it was understandable that he had doubts about the reliability of the system livestream.
“No, there is no need to keep the information here confidential.”
Anvis nodded, his expression becoming serious.
“According to what my subordinate Rivers said, you should be able to hear me now. Let me introduce myself; my name is Anvis, Anvis Luo Olivendi. At this moment, I have an urgent request and I am seeking assistance from everyone!
I am currently within the Radiant Secret Realm, but unknown enemies who have disguised their identities have infiltrated this place, and they possess extremely strong stealth and anti-detection abilities. A number of explorers have already fallen victim to these foes.
Upon my investigation, they hail from the mysterious Alien God Church— the Songxing Secret Sect. At present, these enemies are conducting some kind of unknown malevolent ritual, with the specific effects still unclear.
I implore everyone to immediately report this to the high-ranking officials of the Empire; we are in grave danger and urgently require support.
Whoever you are, as long as you can convey the message to any subordinate force of the Empire Family or any of the Four Great Families, you may use my name to claim an additional reward of 100 Gold Coins from the Olivendi Family.
Furthermore, for the few individuals who make the most significant contributions, I will personally provide several pieces of high-rank Magic Equipment and three Ninth Rank materials as rewards!”
“?!”
As Ambes’s somewhat hasty words concluded, many viewers of the livestream suddenly realized that a new task prompt had appeared on the system panel.
[You have triggered a Grade-A temporary task ‘Report the Enemy Situation’]
[Task Introduction: A routine exploration of the secret realm, yet unexpectedly encountering an attack by unknown enemies, the native ‘Anvis’ hopes that you can help convey a message to the Empire’s high command.
[Task Goal: Notify the high-ranking forces of the Gloria Empire, task rewards will vary based on player’s own camp, the camp and identity of the notifying party, with rewards influenced by the speed of completion.]
[Task Reward: 100 Experience Value, 100 Gold Coins, ???]
[Remaining Time: Three Days]
Watching the sudden appearance of a new task on the task panel, the many players previously engaged in discussions in the live chat now suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Was there such an operation? Assigning us a task through the livestream camera?
But when the surprise ended, it was replaced by an incredible excitement.
High-rank equipment! Legendary materials!!
While many ordinary players were astonished, they started to energetically discuss in the live chat.
Meanwhile, the experienced players were already hurriedly seeking out the highest-status natives they could contact. Members from the three major clubs and other Big Guilds immediately began to reach out to their high-rank backing forces.
Ninth Rank materials, besides potentially appearing as the final highlight at an auction, are simply not something that can be bought with money.
Even though no player is currently capable of forging top-rank equipment, the materials can still be used as important bargaining chips. With good management, they can be exchanged for a favor from a top-rank strongman, which is far more valuable than a single piece of equipment.
After announcing his task to the camera, Anvis did not concern himself with the Elf’s blanched expressions; he returned to discussing resource allocation with Lanno and others.
Anvis was not certain that his task would be recognized by the system, but he believed that even if the system did not acknowledge it, there would definitely be many players who would undertake the task for him.
After all, just a moment ago, he had directly given a legendary material to the Last Dragon Descendant.
Giving a Ninth Rank gemstone material to the Elf as a reward was not entirely a spur-of-the-moment decision by Anvis.
He was establishing his persona; wealthy and whimsical, generous to subordinates, to the extent that he could even give away legendary items on a whim.
He was well aware that the players love this kind of approach.
