Chapter 1011 277: Is Brother Kael Really an NPC? Kael's Terrifying Exploitation of Quests (10K)

Kael nodded and said, "You release the relevant information, and I'll discuss the details with both sides here."

Old White nodded again, exited the room, and prepared to go out and draft the relevant summons.

Meanwhile, Kael sent someone to search for the whereabouts of the player [Great Tree of Infinity], requesting him to quickly head to the study of the Lord Mansion.

Coincidentally, [Great Tree of Infinity] was currently in Titan City, leading a team preparing some intelligence exploration work for [The Beginning of the Magic Tide] and [World Garden]. After receiving the message from Kael, he swiftly arrived at the Lord Mansion.

...

Seeing Kael, this NPC, again, [Great Tree of Infinity]'s expression was somewhat subtle. All along, Kael's reputation among the player community had never fallen, consistently remaining at the top.

According to [Troublemaker Little Fish], his superior at the player intelligence agency [Rat's Eye], Kael's ability to maintain his popularity was no mere coincidence.

Her exact words were:

"At first, everyone might have been drawn to his pure yet alluring face, the small, pink tail, the Demon Eye adorned with heart shapes, the explosively flashy skills, and the charming smile in the game's promotional video. But later, this admiration was intertwined with 'interests.'

To date, no native force has understood what players want as well as Kael does.

Whether it's the precious survival environment for new players,

or the ongoing management and endless tasks for veteran players,

or even the long-distance dungeon activities in the Eastern Border Lord's Mutual Aid Association for gold farming studios,

and especially the channels for high-level players to farm materials and obtain rare skills...

For Kael, or rather the Lancaster Territory, they always find a way to support you in these areas. Especially for Mage players now, no place can help them pass the early weak stages faster than the Lancaster Territory.

All of this allows players in the surrounding areas, led by the Lancaster Territory, to better experience the joy of gaming, unlike the scattered activities of player groups born in other regions.

The player group at the core of the Lancaster Territory is possibly the only one in the current game community truly capable of effectively uniting and wielding the power of the players, forming a [super-sized player force]."

[Troublemaker Little Fish], who had been increasingly targeted by both overt and covert forces due to the secret intelligence gathered recently, seriously shared this with him one day during a conversation.

[Great Tree of Infinity] basically agreed with this.

Only the players who have spent time in the Lancaster Territory know that many of the internal rules give off the feeling that "these rules exist specifically for the players."

It's not an illusion. He's heard many players, who've switched accounts and restarted from other regions, say that playing in the Lancaster Territory feels like returning to the atmosphere of a proper RPG adventure game combined with a massive management game. It's finally playing the game, rather than being played by it.

It's somewhat amusing to think that the first interaction between [Great Tree of Infinity] and Kael involved Kael needing someone to make contact with the Eastern Border Lords to establish a "Mercenary Union dedicated to Dungeon Exploration" with these over a hundred Border Lords.

Simply put, it required the Border Lords to sign agreements with the Lancaster Territory to commission the Lancaster Territory for dungeon exploration and strategy, assembling mercenary corps to support various lords.

Of course, as support, it naturally revolved around the private soldiers of the Border Lords, supplemented by player mercenaries.

Once this system was in place, the Lancaster Territory immediately became the most unique territory in the entire Eastern Border.

Although the Lancaster Territory was already the largest territory on the border, it had never been so unique before.

As a first-hand witness, with the signing of the [Mercenary Agreement], the Lancaster Territory successfully obtained the right to issue some tasks on behalf of over a hundred lords.

All dungeon exploration-related tasks for players were solely handled by the [Mercenary Union Headquarters] located within the Lancaster Territory.

Every day, numerous mercenary players took on tasks, boarded steam locomotives produced by Jiu Yue Heavy Industries, and amidst roaring sounds, headed off afar to various territories to start their dungeon adventures.

As routes to various territories were opened by players who loved dungeon adventures, two other groups naturally also set their sights on the Mercenary Union.

The first group was travelling merchants, especially those among the player community.

Traveling alone was too dangerous for travelling merchant players who also didn't wish to pay the costs of hiring large numbers of native soldiers. So, what could they do?

Simple, travel with these experienced adventure players who have spent ample time leveling up in dungeons. Just find a mercenary corps heading towards the travelling merchant's destination, and they could travel relatively safely to another location.

Of course, mercenary players wouldn't be willing to protect you for free.
