Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 1014 277: Is Brother Kael Really an NPC? Kael's Terrifying Exploitation of Quests (10K)

In an instant, all the information he had known before swirled wildly in the mind of the Great Tree. After a brainstorm, he seemed to vaguely understand something, and raised his head to look at Kael. For a moment, he seemed to have a whole new understanding of this game.

Why is the atmosphere in Lancaster Territory so friendly to players?

Why is the task system in Lancaster Territory so effective in mobilizing players' enthusiasm?

Why did Kael ask him to contact those lords on the eastern border to gain the authority to issue tasks on their behalf?

Why could the Mercenary Union take off so quickly by leveraging players' traits?

...

These 'whys', when put together, felt like a puzzle that suddenly completed itself, instantly revealing a possibility to Great Tree.

Is there really a Newbie Village most friendly to players?

It's merely because Lord Kael has basically figured out the pattern of the player system panel!

Such a discovery, akin to a sense of uncovering a grand secret, made him feel both nervous and excited.

Of course, he also thought of another possibility, such as Kael being a real person, a GM, or even a transmigrator...

But he instinctively dismissed such a possibility.

After all, you wouldn't think your good friend is a 'reborn' person just because he suddenly asks about the 'year, month, day' one day, right?

Only a true weirdo would have such a mindset.

But for Kael, none of this mattered.

Players might doubt his true identity, but it didn't matter. Even if someone considered him to have broken the fourth wall, he didn't care.

Because in the previous life, there indeed were a batch of natives who, due to long-term contact with players, had roughly guessed the players' intrinsic logic of action, and even directly utilized players to strive for hegemony. There were quite a few such individuals.

After all… the Divine Continent is a real world.

And a real world is never short of smart people.

It's just that now Kael, relying a bit on his foresight, is slightly showcasing his unique traits.

It just so happened that recently the forum talks about him have already decreased somewhat, so he simply added an extra setting for himself, like being 'resourceful', 'seemingly breaking the fourth wall', or 'a transmigrator in the game' label.

Anyway…

As long as it works.

But Kael never considered one possibility: could there also be a group in this world who, just like him, understand the players?

For example, the earliest batch of Silver Guard Army.

...

Of course, these are just side notes.

Returning to the present scene, after Kael "revealed his cards", Great Tree of Infinity remained silent, silently controlling the system panel, communicating with other players, collecting relevant information as Kael instructed.

As players received verbal or written confirmations from various lords, the number of lords yet to be confirmed diminished rapidly.

Before long, these players scattered around nearby territories completed the authorization tasks Kael delegated through Great Tree.

Now Great Tree of Infinity felt a bit mentally and physically exhausted and looked up at Kael, saying:

"Three lords chose to refuse, five lords agreed, but... Lord Kael, the task you assigned wasn't completed."

Kael nodded and said to Great Tree, "Thank you, please tell me their names."

Great Tree of Infinity obediently provided the list of relevant personnel to Kael.

Actually… whether or not Great Tree spoke, Kael more or less knew about these personnel lists.

After all, the core background authority for issuing tasks was with him, he could clearly see the related tasks Great Tree released to players far away.

So he merely needed Aister to verify with the backend system panel to directly filter out the list of personnel.

However… if he showed that he could directly confirm the completion list of issued tasks, then his true identity would indeed risk exposure. It was far better to muddle along like this and let the players fill in the gaps themselves.

"Is there anything else I can help with, Lord Kael?"

Great Tree of Infinity reiterated once again.

Kael blinked and said, "Then help me pour a cup of tea."

A task about pouring tea for Kael was sent to Great Tree's system panel, and Great Tree clicked his tongue in wonder.

Indeed, Brother Kael has basically grasped the logic of game task issuance and can control it to a certain extent.

After confirming this point, he decisively went to pour Kael a cup of tea.

After taking a sip, Kael added, "Tomorrow there will be a task synchronized in the Mercenary Union and Lord Mansion task boards. If interested, bring more people to take the related task...

After all, hehe, there might be some fun to see by then."

After hesitating for a moment, Kael added, "My student in the War Mage Academy, Ophie, mysteriously disappeared on the way to the Dungeon. If you don't mind the trouble, go to my student, Anderson, to find out more.

If there's a chance to find her trace... even if she's dead, you can come to me to claim a weapon of transcedent primary level or a corresponding value magic tool."
