Xu Sili frowned as he pondered. He didn't realize that his current position with Si Sheng was very intimate.
After being reprimanded twice, Si Sheng didn't dare to move anymore.
But at this moment, he was already satisfied, and he obediently maintained his current sitting posture with his eyes slightly closed, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
After a while, he realized that the young man was still frowning. He leaned in and whispered, "What's troubling you, Your Majesty?"
His voice was warm and gentle, like a gentle breeze.
Xu Sili loosened his grip and adjusted his sitting posture. His back was nestled in the man's embrace.
His unfocused eyes didn't show that he was still absent-minded. He just said perfunctorily, "Nothing …"
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Oh right, why are you looking for me?"
Si Sheng glanced at him. Seeing that he really didn't want to say, he didn't force him.
He lowered his head and said, "The army is almost done with the escorting of the Elementalists to the other main cities. We can set off once the Elementalists reach the frontline."
Xu Sili nodded. The efficiency of the army was quite high. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
Actually, Second Brother could also come back with the army!
The escorting team would definitely be elites. In addition to escorting, they would also need to report back on some reconnaissance missions.
In short, these veterans who were familiar with the route couldn't stay in the other main cities. They needed to return to the Imperial City to provide information and experience for clearing the way.
Second Brother's safety would definitely be greatly improved if he followed them!
No …
Actually, the players could also participate in this matter!
Although the players from the other four main cities couldn't change their class, the 200 players from the Imperial City could!
These guys had low HP and low combat power. However, their greatest advantage was that they wouldn't die. More importantly …
They could directly exchange for items from the faction storage!
Since the entire Esnow Star was the territory of the Roland Empire, as long as they were on Esnow Star, they would be in the Roland Empire's camp. They could exchange for items even if they were in the wild.
This way, the soldiers wouldn't have to worry about supplies.
Xu Sili's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He quickly asked Si Sheng, "Tell me in detail about the operation plan for this escort mission!"
Although Si Sheng didn't understand why he was suddenly so excited, seeing that he was listening to him, Si Sheng smiled and explained the escort mission to him.
Because the road to the south was progressing faster, two teams would be sent out first. They would head to Orchid Moon City in the southwest and Glaze Sea City in the southeast.
As for Twilight Frost and Star Clasp, because the journey was longer and more dangerous, they would be slightly delayed to make more ample preparations.
"Both teams are escorting ten Elementalists each. Among these ten Elementalists, there is a one-star professor and nine graduates who have yet to reach the one-star level sent by the Elementalist Academy."
"Although they are all Elementalists, they have never experienced battle before. So, I don't expect them to be of much help when we encounter an Astral Beast."
Xu Sili nodded.
These Elementalists were going to build a school. It was fine as long as they could teach the students. They didn't need to be good at fighting.
"Every team is equipped with 100 elites and one field-level leader. The strength of these two leaders is close to two-star, and they have at least three experience in following a team."
The roads between the main cities were blocked after the Astral Beast Wave three years ago. In the past three years, the army would go back and forth at least once a year to escort the talented children of the main cities to the Imperial City.
However, they had to pay a heavy price each time. These two leaders had three complete experience with the team and survived each time. It had to be said that they were very lucky.
Xu Sili nodded. He had a general understanding of the situation.
After considering the situation for a while, he quickly came up with an idea. "Okay, tell Qiu Zheng and the others to wait. I might need to change the plan."
"Okay."
Immediately, Xu Sili sent a message to Dean Justin and began to edit a new mission.
[Ding. You have reached level 5. Please head to the Elementalist College to take the talent test to determine your future career path.]
[Accumulated experience points: 45. Can be used to level up after determining your career path.]
Su Mo looked at the notification that suddenly popped up. He pursed his lips and turned it off. He then continued with his daily routine.
The construction of Doha town was in full swing. As the chief engineer, Ikeda was very busy every day.
Unfortunately, Su Mo couldn't help much.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Although he was working very hard, he couldn't expect him to become a master architect in just a few days, right?
The big bosses of SimCity were very interested in the game after hearing about it.
Unfortunately, they were still in the first closed beta period and there weren't any extra slots for them.
However, they would give Su Mo lessons and explain the professional knowledge in the game language. This helped Su Mo a lot.
At least for now, he had some common language with Ikeda.
Su Mo was also impressed by the game's planning.
Ikeda was just an NPC in the game, but every time he heard his ideas, even if he was still a layman, he could hear his professionalism.
He could only say … Star Age was awesome!
After completing the last round and obtaining the right to stay for the next seven days, Su Mo planned to prepare dinner for Ikeda.
Ikeda really liked the food he made.
Hmph, where did he come from?
Su Mo was usually very lazy. He would only cook when he felt like it. However, the food in the game was really bad, so he had no choice but to cook for himself.
Who knew that Ikeda would like it so much after eating it. It was an unexpected surprise.
Su Mo carried the ingredients back to his residence and prepared to cook in the kitchen. Suddenly, a new notification popped up in front of him.
[Ding ~ Successfully triggered Epic Quest — Elementalist Branch Academy.]
[Description: The Empire will soon send Elementalist instructors to Lan Yue, Glass Ocean, Star Seizer, and Dusk Frost to set up Elementalist Branch Academies in the main cities. This is a historical moment!]
[The road to the four main cities is filled with powerful galactic beasts. The road is dangerous, so the Elementalist instructors need the help of Sir Hero.
[The Empire will now send two teams to Lan Yue and Glass Ocean respectively. Sir Hero who has already become an Elementalist, please go to the Elementalist College to look for Dean Justin to register within 24 hours. Overdue registration will not be accepted.]
Even Su Mo, who didn't care much about the game and only wanted to do Ikeda, was stunned when he saw this notification.
Epic Quest!
Just looking at these two words was enough to make one's blood boil.
Su Mo didn't expect the first Epic Quest to appear in the game in less than a week!
Damn, should he accept it?
When Ikeda came back from outside, he saw that Su Mo hadn't cooked yet. He put down the things and wanted to help him wash the vegetables, but he noticed that something was wrong with his expression.
Ikeda was quite satisfied with Su Mo as a roommate.
Although he didn't know anything about architecture, he could see that he was serious about learning and wasn't just doing it on a whim, so Ikeda thought highly of him.
When building the Empire, it was better to have as many people as possible!
He had to admit that Su Mo's cooking was really good, even better than his mother's.
Seeing that his expression wasn't right, Ikeda couldn't help but ask him what happened.
However, after a series of inquiries, Su Mo's words also stunned him.
Ikeda knew that Su Mo was a Hero from another world. He would disappear for a while during the day and then appear again.
After the initial curiosity, he found that other than a few strange actions, Su Mo didn't have anything special, so Ikeda treated him as a normal friend.
But now …
"You … can become an Elementalist?"
Ikeda looked at Su Mo and asked hesitantly.
Su Mo noticed his strange expression, but nodded in the end. "It should be possible."
Ikeda thought for a while, then turned around and left the kitchen.
"Ikeda, where are you going?"
Seeing that he suddenly ran away, Su Mo quickly chased after him.
Could it be that he violated some taboo for Ikeda to become an Elementalist? He couldn't help but feel nervous.
"I'm going to borrow a hover car and send you to Elementalist College. Wait for me at home, I'll be back soon."
Ikeda had already put on his coat and rushed out the door.
Su Mo … stood at the door and smiled.
Home?
Looking around, Su Mo sized up this small house that could even be said to be simple, but he felt that it was a hundred times better than the manor he lived in in reality.
Right, Ikeda wanted to drive him to Elementalist College? Elementalist College was in the inner city, right?
Does this count as … a date?!
Su Mo became nervous and quickly ran into his room to pick himself up.
Although, he didn't have many clothes in his closet.
Unlike Su Mo who still had the mood to think about a date, the forum was already in an uproar because of this sudden Epic Quest.
"F * ck! An Epic Quest! How many days has it been since the server opened? I haven't done any daily quests, and I'm only at Level 3! "
"Me too! Is there a quick leveling guide? "
"Mercenary Town, go to Elementalist College and report to the Central Square! Sister Qingyan borrowed a bus from an NPC, so we can go there. 7 pm, we won't wait for you if you're late. "
"Why do we have to go to Elementalist College to register? Elementalist College is in the Imperial City, damn it! Does this game discriminate by region? So those born in the Imperial City are the princes and the rest of us are nothing? "
"Protest, protest, protest!"
"What's there to protest about? Calm down, this is just a closed beta, and the gaming cabins are provided for free. We're treating you to the game for free, so why are you spouting so much nonsense? If you don't want to play, then give up your spot! "
Players who weren't from the Imperial City were naturally enraged. However, there were a large number of netizens who followed the game but couldn't play due to the limited number of spots. When they saw the heated discussion, they immediately started arguing.
All in all, the Starry Sky Forum was bustling with activity.
Among the closed beta players, there were actually two members of the game development team, but they were also very confused at the moment.
This was because according to the plan, the NPCs going to the main cities to set up branches shouldn't have happened at this time, and there shouldn't have been any players involved.
After all, this was a closed beta without deleting files, so the strength of the closed beta players had to be suppressed and not be too far away from the open beta players.
Moreover, in less than a week after the server opened, there were already so many players who reached Level 5. This was something that the game development team didn't expect.
This was all because of the daily quests and weekly quests!
The staff who discovered the situation had already reported the problem, but after the mainframe's investigation, it didn't find the existence of a bug. Everything was developing according to the deduction.
Although the game development team was very surprised to get this result, once the game world started, it couldn't be stopped or forcefully changed.
Therefore, they could only be bystanders. As for the game progressing too fast, it might affect the experience of the open beta players …
Let's talk about it when the time comes!
Therefore, the game continued without any interference.
Xu Sili didn't have it that easy.
When he decided on the level of the quest, he gritted his teeth and chose the Epic quest. This meant that every player who successfully accepted the quest would consume 100 points of his Mana.
Originally, it could have been set as an Elite quest, but building an Elementalist branch was indeed historic.
This would definitely effectively motivate the players and increase their sense of belonging to the Empire!
And this might consume 20,000 points of his Mana. Of course, with 200 players, not all of them could sign up.
Currently, there were only about half of the players who had reached Level 5. The rest of the players had to reach the Elementalist College within 24 hours and level up to Level 5. This was not a small challenge.
This was considered a screening.
What right did he have to waste his precious Mana on those players who were lazy and didn't work hard on their daily leveling to improve their strength?
Escort quests were not a joke. Without strength, they would be a burden to their teammates!
For this Epic quest, he wanted to complete it without any damage!
Whether it was the escorted Elementalists, the 200 Elite soldiers, or the two field officers, he didn't want anything to happen to them.
Therefore, it was time to let the players shine and show their enthusiasm!
However, even if there were only half of the players, for Xu Sili who only had 3,700 points of Mana, it was still a big burden.
Therefore, after giving out the quest, he sent Si Sheng away and walked out of the bedroom to look for Ah Sheng.
Now that he was meditating, he could recover 10 points of Mana in a minute, which was 600 points of Mana in an hour.
If he was with Little Ash, who had a humanoid Mana Gathering Circle, his recovery rate could be doubled, which was about 1,200 points of Mana in an hour.
Even so, it was still difficult. This made Xu Sili think of the Mana Potion again.
Speaking of which, he hadn't looked at the Future Forum for two days. He didn't know how the fanpost was going …
In fact, after thinking about it, the post was a little stupid. He didn't know why he posted it on impulse.
He would delete it when he went back at night. It wouldn't go viral anyway. After all, it was just the silhouette of the two hugging on the clock tower. It wasn't something that could attract attention.
Xu Sili thought about it as he walked toward Xiao Qiong's residence.
However, on the way, he met an unexpected figure — Qiu Zheng.
Xu Sili had a good impression of this gentle, shy, and capable Adjutant Qiu Zheng. However, he didn't expect that after the other party bowed, he would …
"Your Majesty, have you finally come to me to learn how to deal with government affairs?"
Looking at the starry eyes behind his glasses, Xu Sili remembered that he had asked Qiu Zheng to move to the palace to make it easier for him to work.
It seemed like … he lived nearby?
Qiu Zheng looked at His Majesty with a face full of joy, but his smile soon froze.
He saw the young emperor blink and then look at him with surprise and disbelief, as if saying:
I'm just a pitiful person who has been on the throne for two months. I have no real power or status. You want me to deal with government affairs?
Qiu Zheng stared blankly at Xu Sili and hesitated. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, although …"
"Adjutant Qiu, I still have important matters to attend to."
Xu Sili said indifferently, "If you have something you can't decide, you can look for the Marshal. His decision is my decree."
Then, regardless of how devastated Adjutant Qiu's expression was, he left very happily.
Deal with government affairs?
That's not as fun as meditating!
Behind him, Qiu Zheng looked at the back of the emperor's departing figure and sighed deeply. Then, he slowly straightened his back and continued to deal with the government affairs that had piled up again.
He would definitely get off work on time today.
Definitely!
Because it was a quest for all players, it was equivalent to a server announcement. Xu Yuheng, who was far away in Orchid City, also saw this quest.
At this moment, he was on the road to the border with Bai Feng. If they were lucky, they would arrive in ten days.
Although it wasn't fast, Xu Yuheng treated it as a hike. Not to mention, this was a game, so he didn't feel tired.
Moreover, because Orchid City wasn't developed, the scenery along the way was very good. Even in this kind of wilderness map, the details were very natural and there were no flaws.
"Brother Yu, look, it's so beautiful!"
Bai Feng pointed at the sky. It was evening and the sun was setting in the west. It hung above the mountains in the sky and dyed the clouds orange. It was very beautiful.
Xu Yuheng nodded. Looking at the vast plains in front of him and the beautiful sunset, he felt a sense of peace that he hadn't felt in a long time.
But very soon, he looked away and continued on his way.
He wanted to see his little brother. This was a goal that would not be stopped by anything.
[Ding. Congratulations on triggering the elite quest — Disaster Relief]
After a few steps, a notification popped up in front of him.
Xu Yuheng looked back at Bai Feng. Seeing that he was confused, he knew that he was the only one who received this quest.
He didn't hide it and posted the quest description in the team chat.
[Disaster Relief (Elite)]
[Description: Because of the drought, Orchid City's Guluo Village has no harvest this year. The villagers are suffering from famine and they need your help.]
[Quest Content: Please provide enough food for the villagers of Guluo Village.]
[Quest Reward: Hovering SUV x1, 20000 Exhe coins.]
Although it was an elite quest, Xu Yuheng didn't pay much attention to it at first. Until he saw the quest reward.
A hovering SUV?
He saw this thing in the faction storage before. It cost tens of thousands of reputation points to exchange.
"Wow, Brother Yu is rich!"
Bai Feng looked at the quest he sent and jumped in excitement. "With a hovering car, we can reach the border faster! And with a car, it's convenient to do anything. "
"Brother Yu, we must do this quest!"
Xu Yuheng also felt that this was a rare opportunity. A hovering car could save him at least half of the time. But he still calmly checked the map with his communicator.
With the communicator, he could check the real-time digital map. Although there was still no navigation, it was undoubtedly more reliable than a paper map.
The Guluo Village mentioned in the quest was only a thousand meters away from them. They must have accidentally triggered this quest when they entered the area.
A thousand meters wasn't far, this quest was doable.
But …
"Where are we going to get enough food for them?" Xu Yuheng frowned.
This was in the middle of nowhere. How were they going to get food? Even if there was food, it should have been taken by the villagers.
"The faction storage!"
Bai Feng said with a smile as if he could already see the hovering car in his hands.
"You mean the Dark Valley in the faction storage? But that requires reputation points, "Xu Yuheng said." Our reputation points aren't high enough. I don't think it's enough. "
"Hehe, I just saw the update." Bai Feng said, "Now we can exchange one Aphe coin for one kilogram of Dark Valley. We still have almost twenty thousand Aphe coins. That's enough for twenty kilograms!"
He got ten thousand Aphe when he opened the novice gift pack and earned another fifteen thousand from the quest against Beck. He spent some of it and had twenty thousand left.
Actually, ten thousand kilograms should be enough.
There were only a few hundred people in a small village. If each person got a few dozen kilograms, they could probably survive for a while.
Besides, Dark Valley was also a seed. Maybe they could use it to cultivate.
After the two found a solution, they quickly rushed towards Guluo Village. They wanted to finish the disaster relief as soon as possible and get the reward after completing the quest.
On the other hand, Xu Sili had just finished a round of meditation and was about to rest when he received Xiao Wu's report.
This elite quest was naturally issued by him.
With the positioning system, he could see the two's movements in real time. When he accidentally saw Guluo Village, he remembered that Qiu Zheng seemed to have mentioned it before. After careful consideration, he created this quest.
As long as players stepped into the vicinity of Guluo Village, this quest would be triggered. As for the quest reward, he believed that no one at this stage could resist the temptation.
Not to mention his second brother.
He liked cars so much and even treated them as his wife!
He didn't buy his own cars before. They were all given to him by his second brother. This was a gift in return.
He also prepared a lot of gifts. He would slowly give them to his second brother through quests later.
He only hoped that his second brother could stay in Orchid City and wait for him to find him. Otherwise, he would follow the escort team. He hoped that his second brother wouldn't take things too hard and choose to die.
After watching the two little red dots go to Guluo Village, Xu Sili turned off the communication device.
He didn't use the communication device to contact Xu Yuheng.
Because there was a risk of being monitored. Although Xiao Wu was there, the problem was … Xiao Wu was also an NPC.
Besides, it was always a little boring if he couldn't see her.
Xu Sili closed his eyes again and meditated, replenishing the magic power that was consumed by the players.
Finally, 24 hours later, a total of 162 players found Dean Justin to complete the Elementalist class change and successfully received the epic quest.
More details of the quest were posted on the forum and caused a lot of discussion.
It was worth mentioning that at the last moment, Hua Sui, who was left in the recruit camp and tortured for almost a week, finally made it in time to register.
After the registration time was over, all the players who successfully received the quest were gathered and then followed the instructor sent by the Elementalist College to the border.
