The Land of Nightmare was brewing new tricks, and this ti the Lord Demon King himself was getting involved. It seed only a matter of ti before the humans on the surface would be trembling in fear.
anwhile, in the Demon King Territory above the labyrinth, two little skeleton soldiers who had just logged on were huddling together, whispering secrets.
After hearing his friend's experience from the previous night, "Bunny Baby Juice" was surprised, his jaw dropping and his skeletal fra leaning forward.
"Affection points?! Are you sure??? Is there really such a system?!"
"Fish Cake Juice" nodded vigorously.
"Really, really! After I finished that cooking task, the system notified that I'd earned 10 affection points... those of the Lord Demon King's!"
The problem was, she still had no idea where this value was added, as there was no trace of it in the player's system interface.
Bunny Baby Juice stroked his chin and looked his friend up and down with the flickering soul fire in his eyes, then began to mutter nervously after a long pause.
"Not simple... this lady is not simple."
"Not, not simple?" Fish Cake Juice paused for a second, then said with a mix of crying and laughing, "What are you talking about! I was just wondering if it's possible to unlock so hidden tasks or sothing?"
Her dear friend was one of the early ga entrants, already a level 4 black iron big shot and the highest level player she knew in the ga.
Even the link to the reservation page she clicked on initially was sent by this black iron big shot.
But now it seed, this guy was just as clueless about the ga's chanics as she was, not as reliable as she had imagined.
Of course.
She still offered her suggestion.
"Dumbass! With affection points already, why bother with hidden tasks?! You should firmly take down the Demon King, have him make you his queen, then ruthlessly drain his Joss Paper, and by the way, ruthlessly pull your best sister in to drain his Joss Paper together."
Fish Cake Juice was stunned.
"Wait, is that how you play this ga?"
Bunny Baby Juice: "? Is there a rule saying you can't play like that?"
Fish Cake Juice said with a mix of crying and laughing.
"I'll just play normally... But speaking of it, the ga's cooking system is surprisingly realistic, honestly, I'm a bit astonished."
Bunny Baby Juice scratched the back of his head.
"That must be that dream technology or sothing. Who cares, as long as it's fun."
After saying that, he again began muttering to himself while stroking his chin.
"But I didn't expect the ga to be played like this... It's kind of interesting."
Seeing her friend seemingly tempted, Fish Cake Juice showed an expression of not knowing what to say, and in the end, could only laugh awkwardly to relieve the awkwardness.
Skeletons... it was completely unimaginable.
At least reincarnate into sothing better looking?
Like an Enchanting Demon or sothing...
...
After the battle in the Silver Pine Forest had ended, players of the Great Graveyard who had concluded their conscription status returned to their usual gaplay.
The three little players of the Great Graveyard's first leather factory were still improving the textile processes and squeezing the potential of the Weaving Shadow Clan, along with a carpenter skilled in making traps.
The Chemical Pool continued to tinker with explosives, trying to co up with a new formula that was more stable in output and more powerful in damage.
Apart from those wanting to be capitalists and those aspiring to be Nobel laureates, the Great Graveyard also gradually saw the ergence of a new crop of talents.
Particularly among the latest group joining the ga, there were not only little chefs with maxed-out cooking skills but also blacksmiths who could beat pots and pans, gardening masters who knew how to plant various flowers and herbs, and earthworkers adept at laying foundations.
Luo Yan assigned Youyou tasks for them, such as preparing three als a day and boxed lunches for the Lord Demon King and his pet, designing and constructing the steel furnace of the Great Graveyard, planting dicinal herbs he bought from Demon City, and directing Earth Cave Spiders in construction work, among others...
However, the scope of tasks could ultimately only cover so much, serving more as "macro-regulation," guiding players to use their creativity.
As for exactly how to exercise creativity and in what ways to do so, that still had to be explored by players on their own.
Perhaps due to the ga's realism, most players were quite keen on exploring the limits of the ga engine.
anwhile, it also provided a convenient outlet for them to do things they only dared to contemplate in reality but never dared to actually try.
While life profession players were exploring the limits of "Cataclysm Online," combat profession players were also busy, either diving into dungeons to kill monsters and level up or venturing beyond the northern peaks to hunt down more powerful wild demons.
Following the battle in the Silver Pine Forest, the commanding presence of the Lord Demon King ignited the ambition in many to beco stronger.
As the saying goes, "The skeleton soldier who doesn't want to be the Skull King is not a good soldier."
No one is content with being cannon fodder forever, unable to even scrape off a layer of nail polish while grooming a dragon's claws.
As the server's high-level players chased after the Lord Demon King as their target, the respected Lord Demon King was not idle either.
The battle with the Earth Dragon Tribe made him acutely aware of his own strength's insufficiency.
Even though players could form a sea of skeletons with their ability to continuously resurrect, no one could guarantee that every battle would occur near the Demon King Territory.
Like the previous battle, there were tis when he had to venture out. And once away from the resurrection point, it beca difficult for players to press their advantage of respawning within the sa battle.
In order to maximize the players' strengths, and to get more chips for his own security, he had to quickly improve his level!
