After leaving his blessings and a bit of life experience as a Vampire elder, Knight Lord Pnno drifted away. Of course, at the end, he issued a small threat to Murphy, warning him not to follow the path of NTR.
Just thinking about having a golden-tier “NTR yer” watching him gave Murphy a chill, but he soon mustered his courage!
Pah, what’s there to be afraid of!
Anyway, he never nned on bing some damn cheater, did he? With the perfect Tris by his side, when would he have time to seduce other women?
Besides, what upstanding person would cuckold others? Anyone who has such thoughts and dares to act on them is already abnormal, right?
Wouldn’t they be asking for a beating if they were struck with a heavy fist?
How could such an excellent and upstanding child like himself, strictly adhering to Vampire moral traditions, be associated with those “adulterers”? He has read the Spring and Autumn Annals!
With these thoughts, Murphy returned to his tent. It was now midnight, and he easily logged onto the game forum to see what amusing antics his adorable little yers had cooked up for him this time.
But as soon as he entered the forum, he saw a “Hot Post of the Day” automatically pinned to the top, and the number of people discussing it was still increasing.Out of curiosity, Murphy opened the post, and was immediately stunned by the huge title:
《”Under the Moon” Volume Two: Major Discussion on the Uing Plot! Pictures and Truth Inside!》
“Huh? You all can guess the uing plot? Well, let me see what shocking thoughts my whimsical little yers have about extending the current plot.”
Murphyy on the bed in his tent, casually taking out his notebook and pen, ready to extract some quintessential ideas from the yers’ fanciful thoughts to supplement his own “dog nner’s” ideas for the uing story.
This post was made by Ah Yuen.
Naturally, among the current little yers, apart from the light role-yer Lumina, only Ah Yuen and a few others had much interest in exploring the plot.
The other yers were still at the stage of simply “ying the game.”
“Buddies, brothers and sisters, although we’ve tragically died down to only three people left, we’ve finally broken through that damn Blood Vulture Halls! Since the server is now free of the risk of rollbacks and restarts, let’s happily discuss the progression of the uing plot today.
Since we’re all dead anyway, and just idling, why not indulge in some chatter?
Let me, Ah Yuen, make an irresponsible guess first!
Now that thest threat to Murphy’s dominion, the depraved Blood Vulture n patriarch Salrokdar, has been taken out, it means Murphy’s territory has entered a rtively peaceful period.
Although ording to the intel from Meow King, Niuniu, and Cheche, the ‘Astral Realm Rift’ appeared due to the sub-space fissure explosion, I don’t think it will affect the uing plot development.
I think the game’s focus will definitely shift frombat to development, at least partially.
To be more specific, I think for a long period of time, we testers and Murphy’s warriors will be building our own newbie vige brick by brick.
Why do I make this guess, you ask?
Ah Yuen doesn’t just talk nonsense. In fact, the dev team has already been testing this kind of content toy the groundwork for future versions.
Not only did the Dump Truck brother trio be officials in the camp, almost single-handedly nning the new order for the survivor camp, but my little brother Grayman has also been appointed as the ‘Chief Architect’!
This title isn’t just given out randomly, you know.
Let me give a quick recap for the third batch of new yers who just joined the game. My little brother Grayman still has a special mission he hasn’tpleted, which is to submit a repair n for Kadman City’s outer city area and designs for new buildings to Miss Miriam and Murphy!
Brothers!
You all understand what this means, don’t you?
This damned game is not only making us build the newbie vige ourselves, but also design it ourselves! This is opening up the ‘construction mode’, and I bet there will definitely be an option to open in-game housingter!
In other words, as long as you do some PY with little brother Grayman and he makes a few edits on the designs, you’ll be able to live in a seaside vi in the game!”
Ah Yuen’s plot analysis was clearly infused with a strong personal style, but it had to be said that his summary made quite a bit of sense. However, the follow-upments quickly exposed Ah Yuen’s tendency to “parrot” information.
MeowKing: 【Could you say something we don’t already know? You’re just confusing the newbies here. All the veteran yers understand the stuff you mentioned.】
SwordSaintAshina: 【Oh oh oh, Uncle Meow’s ‘Server First’ badge looks so cool and dazzling! Is this how achievements are disyed on the forum? Damn it, why hasn’t the promised ‘Kingyer’ title and badge been sent yet? I want a cool badge too!】
FatalOrchidHuahua: 【Little Ashina, look at this?】
SwordSaintAshina: 【!!!! Why does Orchid Huahua already have the badge? Why don’t I? Damn it! You must have PY with the dev team, right? I’m reporting you!】
LuminaYanghen: 【Little Ashina, you have to im and equip this badge yourself in your personal space. The system doesn’t automatically put it on you, have you never used the forum before?】
InvincibleTyrannosaurusCheche: 【Who’s yed such an outdated thing? Sister Lumina, if this game wasn’t so fun, who among us young people of the new era woulde y on a forum? Not just little Ashina, even I hadn’t touched forums before.
Wow, this badge is so bright! So cool and awesome.】
LeadingPigeon: 【@Meow King, look, I also have the ‘Server First’ badge! Ha, I’m the first yer on the server to unlock the ‘Alchemist’ job. The achievement system gave it to me when it opened up before.】
AhYuen: 【Damn it! flips table! I told you all to discuss the plot, not show off these boring things!】
LuminaYanghen: 【Oh oh oh! Turns out I also have the ‘Server First! Legendary Bard’ achievement, I hadn’t noticed it before.】
DumpTruckIaido: 【It seems all non-standard advanced jobs or ‘hidden jobs’ have simr achievement mechanisms, indicating the dev team still encourages yers to freely explore and dig into the game’s depth.
Well, I’m a bit ashamed to say that I actually have the ‘Server First! Official Career’ achievement too.
But since we’re discussing the plot, let me briefly mention some game content that most yers haven’t encountered yet, regarding some ‘official documents’ that Bulldozer, Half Off, and I came across while serving in the survivor camp.
Murphy’s next n is to renovate the outer city area into a new base, and use this base as the center to gradually radiate influence across the entire Transia region.
Due to the impact of the ten-year war in the plot, our Portia Federation has already fallen into a desperate situation. And ording to what Bulldozer previously learned from the Witch Hunters, another human kingdom Nordtov has already sent troops, so the demise of the Portia Federation is inevitable.
These are just background details that don’t concern us yet.
But if I have to make a prediction, the next version might include content rted to ‘war refugees’.】
AhYuen: 【The elder brother is meticulous in these aspects.】
BulldozerManCharging: 【It’s simple, what Dump Truck means is that due to the changes in the background story, if we apply some realistic thinking, it’s not hard to see that after the fall of the Portia Federation, arge number of refugees will pour into thest ‘free territory’ of Transia.
The number should be quite substantial.
This conveniently ties into Murphy’s uing construction ns.
This is the so-called use of background story to drive the game’s pace. It has much more immersion than those crappy games that randomly throw some major event at you. At the very least, the dev team is taking pains to weave a 100% realistic game world, and changes in the overall situation will naturally affect the environment of our small local situation.
So, my thought is that in the uing production and construction version, we might see extensions of the kind of ‘administrative jobs’ that the three of us currently have, and there might even be titles like ‘vige chief’ or ‘town chief’.
Give the management rights of an entire area to the yers, have NPCs assist in construction, and thereby enhance the yers’ game experience.
If the dev team is even bolder, they might even give yers full responsibility for the entire design and construction process of the new main city.】
FatalOrchidHuahua: 【????This doesn’t sound very realistic, does it? How could such a huge project be entrusted to us? Mainly because we don’t have professional knowledge, what would a city we built even look like? What if it doesn’t even have a main gate?】
OnboardJoyStick: 【Sister Orchid, you don’t know how free this game is when ites to shenanigans. You can always trust the dev team in this aspect. Most importantly, even if we mess things up, it’s no big deal. It’s a game, a few lines of code and data and they can reset it for you.
But considering this game’s nature, I feel that if we really are building our own city, we’d have to put some serious thought into it.
After all, if we do a bad job, we’ll be the ones suffering.
So let’s @Heaven’s Chosen Grayman, buddy, whether we live in vis or pigsties in the future depends on you. Feeling the pressure?】
Heaven’sChosenGrayman: 【Whoa! How about Alexandria? No, wait, if the plot really develops like that, I definitely can’t handle it alone. I’d have to find real professionals, why don’t we invite our department’s professor?
He’s a true professional who has spent a lifetime doing architectural design and construction supervision.】
MeowKing: 【I think some of you are being a bit too optimistic. Since we’re talking about the plot, let me share my guess.
Look, we’ve previously encountered the Witch Hunters and witnessed how that Circle Tower organization used spirit arts to tear apart Kadman City. This has proven that this broken ce of ours has value in the enemy’s eyes.
Although the Ten-Year War is about to end on arge scale, and both countries need to recuperate, just think about it, conflicts over territory are bound to have subsequent frictions. And even with the city in ruins, it’s not safe. When sister Lumina’s squad was grinding monsters in the sewers before, there were alreadyrge numbers of ghouls appearing down there.
These things always appear in swarms in the background lore, so there’s probably a super massive ghoul nest in the city’s sewer area,rge enough to serve as a team raid instance.
So I think while the main focus of the next version is likely construction, there will still be a significant portion ofbat content that we need to sustain.
But this is actually not a bad thing.】
DoestheCyborgSnailDreamofElectronicTrees: 【How so? Uncle Meow, don’t leave us hanging.】
MeowKing: 【Because we don’t have enough manpower! Even if the current sixty yers doubled, it still wouldn’t be enough to simultaneously support so many gamey styles. So I boldly predict that we’ll soon be weing a ‘yer wave’.
And based on elder brother Dump Truck’s summary above, I think this might be connected to the background story.
For example, Murphy might grant testing slots proportional to the development of his territory. After all, in this fantasy western magical setting, sustaining a warrior requires vast resources. So tying the yer count to territorial development is actually quite reasonable game design.
So, in conclusion, I think the most promising job in the next version is not warrior or administrator, but ve catcher and the triangr trade crew, that’s the version’s answer!
Just don’t know if there are any ck uncles for us to capture in this game’s setting.】
“Whoa! He actually guessed it all!”
Inside the tent, Murphy was so startled by Uncle Meow’s post that he immediately sat up. This guy really couldn’t be underestimated, he had guessed the basic logic of Murphy’s territory system through sheer spection.
However, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Although the little yers’ whimsical guesses were all in jest, they truly gave Murphy a lot of inspiration. He nced at the lines of content he had jotted down in his notebook, then showed a subtle smile in the night.
Murphy put away his notebook, got up and walked to the front of the tent, gazing into the deep darkness before him.
He narrowed his eyes.
Elder brother Dump Truck’s mention in the post about the possibility of “war refugees” appearing gave Murphy a wake-up call. He felt he had to be prepared before such a situation truly arose.
Moreover, Lord Pnno had also promised that in his talks with King Louis and the Wolf Queen, he would urge them to quickly release the captured army of 26,000 armed Blood Servants. However, Murphy guessed the 10,000 elites from Fort Crimea were likely gone for good.
The remaining 16,000 misceneous troops could still be hoped for, to some extent.
But after these guys came back, they would also need to be properly settled, or else they’d cause a ridiculous scene of “rebels storming the national gates, mountain bandits destroying the dynasty” in no time.
He had to quickly establish a governing system.
It could be rudimentary, but it had to exist!
Using the current survivor camp as the basic framework, with his current manpower as the governing nodes, all he needed was a suitable external condition, and his territory could rapidly expand outwards at an immense speed.
Whether it was stable or not could be put on the back burner for now, the main thing was manpower feedback.
There were still too few little yers!
60 people couldn’t aplish anything. Even 600, a tenfold increase, would barely be enough. And the heavyweight challenge of the ck Disastering in six months was even more daunting!
Thinking of this, Murphy summarized his next goal.
Before the arrival of the ck Disaster in six months, he needed at least 2,000 yers under hismand, with at least one-third having passed the ck Iron Trial! Only then could he barely maintain qualitative suppression over the Gnoll monster hordes.
The development of the territory, unlocking the tech tree, and even maintaining the governing structure could all be handed over to the yers. Therefore, he had to start selecting and secretly searching for usable talents.
A sense of urgency arose within Murphy.
His small territory was about to face a trial, which would directly determine the lower limit of his achievements in this otherworld.
“Huff.”
Murphy let out a long breath and opened his arms in the darkness, softly saying:
“Be bolder, even bolder! Not just a new city built on ruins, as long as you’re willing to y, as long as you’re willing to continue walking this path with me, I can entrust the entire Transia to you for construction and management!
I need your support and following.
My adorable little yers, as a generous reward for your brilliant loyalty, I shall give you the entire world!”
