As it turned out, a girl's appearance was everything.
After switching to the transformative weapons that Fangzheng had specially made for them, the whole clearers displayed 120% of their strength. They swept through the Lord Bosses of the second, third, and fourth floors. The Lord Bosses that were terrifying in the eyes of most players were nothing more than ghosts under Fangzheng's blades.
"Wow, the Dark Moon Sword is really amazing …."
Argo, who was sitting on a chair, could not help but sigh as she looked at Fangzheng. She took the records of the monsters' characteristics and attack patterns from Fangzheng's hands and looked at him with a smile.
"Thanks to you guys, most of the players who are still in the Town of Beginnings have relaxed a lot. They're no longer as tense as before. Some of them are even in the mood to enjoy the game …."
"Is that so …."
Fangzheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Argo's sigh.
"By the way, there are two very important matters that I need your help with."
"No problem. What are they?"
Argo looked at Fangzheng curiously after receiving the battle records from Fangzheng.
But what Fangzheng said next surprised Argo.
"First of all, please inform the leaders of the other guilds that we, the Dark Moon Sword, will not participate in the Lord Boss raid on the fifth floor. They are free to do whatever they want. If they can't clear the fifth floor, they'll be stuck here forever. "
"Eh … Eh eh eh?!"
Argo screamed when she heard Fangzheng's words. She slammed the table and stared at Fangzheng in surprise.
"W-Why?"
"It's about time for them to contribute a little."
In response to Argo's surprised question, Fangzheng casually took a sip of juice.
"You should know that the Dark Moon Sword's clearers only have 15 members. Including the substitutes, there are less than 20. It's fine for now, but in the later stages of the game, we won't be able to defeat all the bosses by ourselves. We'll need the cooperation of the other guilds. If they don't accumulate experience in fighting bosses in the early stages, they'll be at a disadvantage as the game progresses. Besides … I don't want to be a hero who saves the world, and neither do the children. The burden of saving 10,000 lives is too heavy for them. "
"Hmm …. You're right …."
Argo was no fool. she understood what Fangzheng meant. He did not want Dark Moon Sword to think that he was the only one who could save the people trapped in the game. This would bring them pride, but it would also bring them pressure. Some people yearned for glory, while others might be dissatisfied with it. But for Fangzheng, he obviously did not want this kind of glory.
After all, clearing the entire game was a common task for all the players trapped in the game. He couldn't just leave this heavy burden to a dozen little girls and watch the show from the sidelines.
Being a magical girl who saved the world was not an easy task.
Fangzheng was not worried about the strength of the other guilds. Ever since the clearers started using self-made weapons, most of the equipment, weapons, and items they looted from killing Lords were sold by Fangzheng to the combat teams of other guilds, as long as they did not have particularly outstanding attributes.
By the way, up until now, no one had looted a two-handed sword in the labyrinth dungeon.
But Fangzheng no longer cared about that.
You can find one if you want, but I'll make one myself!
Hmph!
"What's the second thing?"
"Hmm …. It's simple."
Faced with Argo's question, Fangzheng thought for a moment.
"Have you ever thought about … changing your profession?"
"… If you want me to join Darkmoon Sword, then forget it."
Argo was obviously not interested in Fangzheng's solicitation. In fact, she did not hate Fangzheng or Darkmoon Sword. It was just that as an intelligence merchant, she preferred to live an unfettered and free life.
"That's not what I meant."
Fangzheng waved his hand and continued.
"You know, the Survival Handbook has been published several times. Almost every player in the game has a copy now, right?"
"Yeah, it's all thanks to you. I still remember the conditions for activating hidden skills you wrote in the previous issues …. That almost drove a lot of players crazy …."
Argo could not help but tremble when she recalled the scene at that time.
"There's someone who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and practices singing outside my window. It's driving me crazy!"
"Then you can live somewhere else. Okay, I'm not here to discuss this with you today. What I mean is …."
Fangzheng stared at Argo and enunciated each and every word.
"I hope that we can start a publication based on the Survival Handbook."
"Journal ….?"
"That's right. I've written most of the contents of the Survival Handbook so far. But you can't expect us to keep investigating the types, skills, and range of monsters on each floor. The Darkmoon Sword's clearers' main mission is to clear the Lord. There are so many Labyrinths in every map. We don't have time to clear them one by one. "
"Hmm …. You have a point."
Argo nodded when she heard Fangzheng's words. Indeed, Darkmoon Sword was the clearers' hope for all players to escape from the abyss of misery. They couldn't just keep wasting their time doing such things.
"We don't have any means of communication with the outside world in the game, so I think a newspaper or journal is the best way. We can publish a journal once a week and ask other players to submit their questions about the types of monsters they encounter in the game, their numbers, the characteristics of the Labyrinths, their strategies, and any questions they have about the game. We'll filter them and publish them. "
In the age of the Internet, paper media had declined, but Fangzheng still remembered the magazines he subscribed to when he was a child, such as "Popular Software" and "Video Game Software". They would publish game strategies in every issue, and they would even set up a special column to answer questions from other players about the difficulties and difficulties they encountered in the game.
"Is … .that useful?"
Argo was also a person of the Internet and information age. She had no understanding of paper media at all. In her mind, she had already formed a fixed contact method through websites, forums, and social media. As for magazines …. This thing seemed to be almost extinct.
"How would you know if you don't try? You'll need some people to do the typesetting and processing. You can hire some players in the Town of Beginnings who are afraid to go out to battle. They can't carry weapons, so they should be able to do typesetting, clerical processing, and proofreading."
"That's going to cost a lot of money."
Hearing this, Argo's face suddenly turned bitter.
"It's very simple. You can tell the readers in this issue that the Survival Handbook will be revised starting from the next issue. At the same time, tell them that we'll add new columns and categories, but they'll need to buy a subscription. A copy of the Survival Handbook is 50 Coles. That shouldn't be too expensive. There are currently more than 9,000 players in the game, and this number is not a small number. You can take a portion of it as remuneration for hiring them. You can also go to other guilds and ask them to spend money to advertise in the Survival Handbook. Isn't that all money?"
"… .that … seems like it's really possible?"
After listening to Fangzheng's words, Argo thought about it carefully. She felt that Fangzheng's suggestion was very useful, so she immediately stood up excitedly.
"I'll go back and try it now! If there's anything I don't understand, I'll come back to you! "
Looking at Argo's back as she left excitedly, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth slightly curled up. This was the reason why he released the Survival Handbook through Argo in the first place. The circulation of information was very important. However, as an intelligence merchant, Argo's focus was only on the information itself. To Fangzheng, this was too petty. With such a channel, how could he not make good use of it?
But what Fangzheng did not expect was that two days later, he received a message from Argo.
"Mr. Fangzheng, the Dark Nebula and the Red Knights have decided to work together to attack the Lord boss of the fifth floor. However, they have a small request. "
"Request?"
Hearing Argo's message, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows.
"What request?"
"They hope that you, Mr. Fangzheng, can also participate in the strategy and give them on-site guidance."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"No problem, I agree."
