Chapter 201 200. The years when I was the village chief in the game

"Thank you all warriors for choosing to join the Administrative Office of Earl Cadman. On behalf of the entire ruling system under Lord Earl, I welcome you all."

In the open space behind the house where the administrative office is located, Baroness Miriam, as the scarlet consul, is lecturing a dozen "newly hired" administrative players. From the perspective of the players at this time, this is more similar to "professional

Cut scene CG of "Mission Guidance".

The Baroness had learned a whole set of speaking skills from Lord Murphy and studied them painstakingly, and now it comes in handy.

Several old players who were watching were also whispering.

"I said, are the benefits of this administrative profession so good? A psychic microphone plug-in for 20 gold will be given away for free! Also, four psychic business bags and a personal vehicle rented by the administrative office for a long time will be given as a gift. Damn! I will also give you a gift.

Special fashion?”

The leader, Big Pigeon, leaned on his family guard cane and watched with envy and jealousy as these new players clumsily put the plug-ins into the computing orbs.

Having switched to a new job as a blood torturer, he complained to the "old administrative player" next to him:

"We didn't have this kind of treatment before! And what's going on with your four guards? Obviously they weren't there yesterday. Are you trying to imitate Colonel Ka and become a beautiful guard?"

"Oh, you said it's a special benefit for a special profession."

Brother Banzhao waved his hands with a stern look on his face, and then explained in a low voice to the guys around him:

"I received a task as soon as I went online today. It was said that the development team had adjusted the planning and positioning of the administrative profession. Because the administrative profession has to spend time dealing with territorial affairs every day, it will definitely affect the improvement of personal strength, so the Earl gave the order.

We take special care.

Now as long as the administrative profession reaches the 'acting village chief', two veterans can be seconded from the Special Security Department of the Cadman People's Army as security personnel.

Brother, because I have a formal position, I can second two of you.

Maxim's white-haired vampire is quite knowledgeable. I can choose half the men and women among the veterans, but I need to pay them a salary, five gold coins for each person every week.

I asked him about it, and Maxim said that the Adventurer's Guild has just been established and has no manpower. He said that after a while, after President Natalie has settled down, we administrative professionals can start from the Witch Hunters.

Recruiting some retired hunters as personal guards.

I estimate that there may also be a special channel for 'elite recruitment'.

Gee, taking four elite NPCs out to fight monsters is exciting just thinking about it!"

"Acting village chief? So the next level of administrative profession is the official village chief?"

Good Pigeon asked humbly:

"Then what should you do if you pass the Black Iron Trial?"

"You have chosen the administrative profession, but you still passed the Black Iron Trial! That is a challenge left for you as a combat profession."

The full-risk semi-guaranteed person curled his lips and said:

"I just read the detailed explanation of the newly released administrative career system. To put it simply, our career system does not rely on killing monsters to upgrade. Instead, your work results will be inspected and tested by the territorial administrative office once a week. As long as you meet the standard four times in a row, you can be promoted once.

Professional rank.

If you think about it, you will know that now I, as a camp director, have to spend at least 4 hours on official duties every day. It will only become busier if my position is promoted in the future.

I personally estimate that once the administrative position is promoted to 'acting mayor', players will have little time to practice their personal strength.

Therefore, this career system is obviously reserved for players who do not like to fight and kill, but prefer to play strategy games.

The number of guards that the official village chief can secondment is 4, and there is a special recruitment slot. NPCs can be freely recruited to serve as the village chief's security officers. At the administrative level of the official town chief, your personal guard alone has 12 guards.

Adding two special recruits, that's 12 fully armed veterans who can form three combat teams.

If you put it in the dungeon, it would be considered a mini-BOSS.

If you can also recruit powerful wild elite NPCs to be your security officers, it means that a mayor can act as a small army when he travels.

Moreover, if a battle occurs in the area under their own management, the village chief and town chief also have the authority to temporarily recruit a certain number of militiamen.

You are taking the quality route, but we are going to take the quantity route that governs the overall situation.

You should understand what I said, right?"

Good Pigeon's eyes widened after hearing this, and he exclaimed:

"Holy shit!

We are playing The Witcher 3, but you are playing Mount and Blade! How can we fight like this?

If an administrative player has a high level and conflicts with a combat player, they won't have to fight, they can just wave their hands and let their guards destroy us."

"Actually, it's not as outrageous as you said. The development team must have considered career balance. How can it give you such incredible benefits?"

Fully insured and semi-dangerous, he shook his head and said:

"If you choose the administrative profession, you basically say goodbye to strength and strength. A powerful enough assassin can take down high-level administrative players, and the administrative office will only bear one-third of the equipment and training costs for your guards.

This means that you have to spend your own money to support them, and if you don't treat the guards well, they may rebel.

We have to believe that the development team has bad intentions in this regard

But we are players, and it only lasts for three days after we die. We just need to spend more money to recruit guards again.

If I had to say something, I guess this probably represents the development team’s attempts and breakthroughs in gameplay.

Some people like hand-to-hand combat, and some people like group fights. When it is difficult to reconcile the opinions of everyone, it is also a good way to hand over the choice to the players.

Besides, administrative occupations are not completely unavailable."

Brother Half-Handed shrugged and said:

"If you have enough energy, you can balance administrative rank and personal strength. And regarding the administrative career challenge of the Black Iron Trial, it seems that you can bring a guard to help~it will be regarded as your own summons.

But if the guard is seriously injured or dies, it means that you have failed the challenge and will have to pay a large pension. In short, it is very real, you know it?

The most important thing is, have you forgotten that the only way to pass the Black Iron Trial is to challenge the elites? It’s okay for me to slowly farm the Black Iron monsters. It’s nothing more than unlocking potential, practicing skills, and walking on the edge of death.

It’s just to be faster.”

"Fuck, this is too much for cheating on the administrative profession."

Pigeon Bao was still aggrieved.

However, the thinking college student quickly thought of another thing. He looked around, leaned over and said to the insurance company in a low voice:

"They are said to be guards, but how far can you order them? Brother, please be careful."

"I know what you want to ask."

What kind of scene has a middle-aged man in his forties never seen? How could he not understand the implication of Ge Bao's words?

He showed a smile that all men understand, shook his head and whispered:

"But you're overthinking it.

It’s not like you don’t know that the NPCs in this game are naughty. If I dare to make any excessive demands, I might be reported to Maxim by the guards, and then the administrative office will give me a ‘double regulation’. That would be embarrassing.

They are just protecting me, not serving me.

However, now I am actually very doubtful that not only the main NPCs in this game have favorability settings, but it seems that all NPCs have independent favorability calculations.

So, if you can really raise your guard’s favorability to full, it’s not like you can’t open silver. Ahem, but it’s not necessary, right?”

"Well, it's really not necessary! The main NPCs can't lick them, so who has the mood to lick their own bodyguards. If they are specially recruited elite NPCs with good backgrounds, they are worth licking. Forget about ordinary ones."

Ge Bao nodded with deep understanding.

Dame Miriam's lecture in front had just ended, and several of her assistants took over the rest of the work, leading a dozen administrative players to another house.

There they can choose the positions they are interested in.

Hao Gege came over to take a look, and was surprised to find that the career paths of these young players all started directly from the title of "Acting Village Chief".

However, there are not many positions available for them to choose from. They are basically located in the five collective farms that are about to be built in the Baron of Lim, as well as some grassroots positions in Scarlet Castle.

"Hey, why is your calculation orb this color?"

Pigeon Bao soon discovered the second difference.

The activation orbs of combat players like him are reddish, but the orbs of administrative players are light green. He discussed it with two young players from the same school who were PYD by Ah Yu, and was shocked to find that not only the orbs were different in color

, the character interfaces of other administrative players are specially designed!

In addition to all the functions of combat players, they also have an additional "territory management" interface, which can directly display a series of NPC information and an overview of the territory situation within the scope of authority of each administrative player.

"Damn, I kind of regret it."

Pigeon Bao scratched his head and sighed:

"It's not a good time. In fact, Hao Gege, I think I am quite suitable to be the village chief. Is it too late for me to change my job now?

I still have a spare career column."

"Don't think too much, good pigeon."

The little player named [Lorewalker Xiao Wang] in front of him grinned and said rather coquettishly:

"You don't have administrative expertise, so you can't do this."

"Yes, yes, you should continue to work as your promising leader, and don't come to steal the jobs of these brothers."

The [Traveler Xiao Li] next to him added.

[Lecturer Xiao Sun] next to him nodded repeatedly.
