?Chapter 1276: 411. Ignite yer_2


    When yers learned that passing the first round of trial tasks would unlock the NPC Affection System and allow them to get a Magic Egg for free, there were still some who doubted whether the Magic Egg was just a gimmick to milk more money from them.


    Many yers had been scared off by the game operator’s predatory activities.


    When they saw official giveaways, they subconsciously thought it was just another money-making scheme.


    The Cucumber Slice Team clearly understood the yers’ mindset early on.


    He immediately introduced the concept through a voiceover:


    “Magic Eggs don’t require Krypton Gold, no need to buy gift packages, you can even skip the game store, and they’ll turn into little pets!” <div>


    ...


    “You know those gray-quality items that drop while we’re grinding monsters? The ones that are only good for selling to NPCs?


    “We just need to feed those to the Magic Egg along with some Experience, and it will hatch into a pet!”


    “Ladies and Gentlemen! This is a conscientious event that proves you’re the king of grinrders! As long as you’re willing to grind, everyone can have their own pet!”


    “If you are a yer who likes to grind, like eating ribs, then congrattions! By selling your unwanted gray-quality items to other yers, you can make double the moneypared to selling them to stores!”


    “I know there will be people saying, ‘Oh, Cucumber Slice, each person can only take one Magic Egg and hatch one pet, so there won’t be many people needing gray-quality items.’


    “To those doubts, I just want to ask, who told you each person can only take one Magic Egg??”


    Cucumber Slice dramatically built suspense, pausing for a few seconds before continuing with the video:


    “Our tests showed that there’s no limit to the number of Magic Eggs a person can get! As long as you meet the NPC’s affection requirements, everyone can collect unlimited Magic Eggs!”


    “The reason for such a generous setup, is because the new upation is actually leading an army of magic pets, the ‘Magic Pet Lord’!”


    The video then showed the hidden task performed by Golden Dragon in the Sky.


    The generous Boss Jin did not hold back, openly sharing the hidden upation task he had received.


    The entire video was overwhelmed with exmation points and expressions of disbelief. If you didn’t turn off thements, you couldn’t see a thing in the video.


    “Our team spectes that Boss Jin, as the first person toplete the first trial task, can take on the hidden upation without meeting the affection requirements. Water friends, after raising the NPC’s affection, should also be able to take on this series of tasks!”


    “Let’s anticipate the brand new expansion after maintenance ispleted!”


    “For more information on NPCs, please follow the game’s official website!”


    “Lastly, let’s thank Boss Jin for his generosity. Without him, we could not have known so much insider information!”


    Thements were endless.


    “Thanks to Boss Jin, so generous!”


    “Is Boss Jin’s guild recruiting? I specialize in that!”


    “Seriously, where is this NPC anyway? Just tell us already! I’m dying to know!”


    “Trash game, don’t believe them, it’s all the developers’ tricks, but let me try it out first.”


    Thements continued nonstop until the video finally went ck.


    About an hour after the release of this panoramic video, the game’s official website posted a game update announcement.


    Besides the usual bug fixes and patches, all the remaining content was introducing the new expansion.


    The Cucumber Slice Team, having seen the update, immediately published their own interpretation of the announcement.


    First was the new storyline in the expansion, stating that the notorious Dark Divine Cult was secretly plotting something, which had drawn the attention of the descendants of the Supreme God n.


    Our mysterious boss-level NPC is one of these descendants.


    He stepped into the limelight, appearing in the yers’ view to guide them to conquer the Dark Divine Cult and other sinister cosmic forces.


    Any yer recognized by the NPC could take up the new upation rted to the Magic Series.


    Apart from the Magic Pet Lord shown in the video, four other new upations were announced.


    As the Cucumber Slice Team spected in the video, there indeed was a life upation focused on creating Magical Items, known as the ‘Magic Craftsman.''”


    Since the announcement didn’t specify the skills for each upation, the Cucumber Slice Team could only give rough estimates based on other games.


    This part of the content is full of subjective interpretations, and each yer has their own ideas.


    In any case, a panoramic video that set the entirework aze, along with a game update announcement from Starry Sea Game, became the hot topic among nearly ten million yers.


    But the problem had arisen.


    Where exactly was this NPC?


    The video didn’t mention it, the announcement didn’t say, and the members of the Cucumber Slice Team wouldn’t reply to private messages.


    Only a few yers who had undertaken the Split Bear Star Thief faction’s task on Lisom New Star guessed that the NPC might be on a in the Lisom Star System, but they couldn’t be sure which one.


    Because there were just too manys with red-brown soil in the Lisom Star System.


    The Cucumber Slice Team didn’t want to share because they had received instructions from Golden Dragon in the Sky to secure more of a head-start advantage for their guild.


    As for why the game’s official website didn’t mention it, that was Nnd Lee’s fault.


    Honestly, Nnd Lee was really having a headache now.


    He was worrying about how to construct an impressive group of magic buildings.


    In his initial n, he wanted to package the task of building magic buildings and distribute them to yers skilled in construction.


    After receiving the task, yers would draw up ns, conceive construction strategies, and submit them to Nnd Lee for review.


    Nnd Lee would choose the proposals he liked and then issue arge number of tasks, guiding yers to build the magic buildings for him.


    This approach had two advantages.


    First, Nnd Lee wouldn’t have to do everything himself, leaving everything to be dealt with by the yers.


    Second, the yers would feel more involved, their sense of belonging would quickly foster, and they could also obtain magical items beneficial for their advancement from the tasks.


    Originally, this was a mutually beneficial arrangement for both Nnd Lee and the yers.


    But since the Dark Divine Cult suddenly started contaminating the game’s source code, Nnd Lee worried that he might soon be besieged by the Dark Divine Cult, so he had to modify this n.


    Under pressing time and heavy tasks, Nnd Lee could only rely on his understanding of architecture and haphazardly use Earth Rock Magic to construct the group of magic buildings.


    His experience in construction was essentially zero, and he had redrawn the design several times, not even being able to finalize the location of the buildings.


    This directly resulted in his inability to write his exact location in the update announcement…


    Seeing that there were less than 15 hours left until maintenance, Nnd Lee knew he had to settle on a n and could no longer hesitate.


    “I want a set of buildings that screams ‘magic’ at first nce. They should be able to float in space ornd on a. If possible, they should also have certain defensive capabilities. For instance, ayer of magic barrier for all-around protection, or magical turrets everywhere, inside and out.”


    Nnd Lee floated in space, looking at the vast, deep Starry Sea, his brow tightened:


    “Considering the future influx of many yersing here to undertake tasks, therger the scale of these buildings, the better. But how can I alone, in less than 15 hours, create something as massive as a cosmic space station?


    “Do I have to resort to stealing?”


    Nnd Lee thought of the Dark God Descendant’s Space Station under his surveince and then shook his head.


    That space station was far too distant from here; it wasn’t possible to steal it right now.


    And even if Nnd Lee could seize it, it wasn’t necessarily transportable…


    Nnd Lee brooded in deep thought, deciding to consult the ‘Heart of Magic’ next.


    Perhaps there indeed existed a magic for creating groups of magic buildings.


    “Search for magic that constructsrge groups of magic buildings.”


    [Searching…]


    [Searchplete, result is zero. It is rmended to use ‘House Building Technique’ to construct the buildings you want one by one.]


    “Sss… toothache.” Nnd Lee’s cheek twitched.


    He rephrased his question and asked:


    “Then, is there any kind of magic building that can amodate many people in the same ce, where each person can do different things without interfering with each other? Such a magic building should also have strong defensive capabilities.


    [Searching…]


    [Searchplete; results are as follows:…]


    “What?! There are results?” Nnd Lee hurriedly clicked to view.


    When he saw one of the magic buildings, even with his current state of mind, he couldn’t help but forget to breathe.
