Now that the general strategy had been decided, the follow-up actions were also clear.
The word ‘alliance’ sounded simple, but how to execute it and how to ensure that it could be achieved in the end still required a lot of thought.
If they were to use force, they would say something like ” The simplest and most brutal “,” Let Vivian take off her mask and leave now.” They would call on both players to cooperate. They could do it, but Liao Zixuan felt that the final effect would be greatly reduced. At least, it would not satisfy him.
In Liao Zixuan’s opinion, the most difficult task for Thousand Islands and Flame Field to unite wasn’t the Flame Field, but Thousand Islands.
There was already some friction between the two sides. Although it could not be called hostility, it was definitely because they did not like each other.
As a player from Thousand Islands, he would have felt a little uneasy when he found out that his NPC was from the Flame Domain. If Vivian were to ask the players from the Flame Domain to help Thousand Islands at this time, what would the local players of Thousand Islands think?
It must be very uncomfortable.
Why do we still need the help of the people from the Flame Domain? You still don’t believe us?
This thought was not strange.
After all, apart from the first few days of the open beta, the current Thousand Islands players had been progressing smoothly ever since they met the Fox-faced Witch. In other words, they were full of confidence and were very arrogant.
The more radical ones might even feel betrayed. For example, she was still more biased towards the Fire Domain. She even felt that Vivian had deliberately let the players from the Fire Domain come to the Thousand Islands to get a share of their plot rewards.
All of these would cause him to manage it with great difficulty…No, it was the fox-faced witch that the little girl had won over with her own actions and was loved by the players of the Thousand Islands.
Even if Vivian had never thought of it that way.
Therefore, the key to this was to make the Thousand Islands players aware of the crisis this time.
Only by making them realize that this crisis was completely different from the previous ones would they be able to resist it with their current strength. If this continued, their foundation and the Thousand Islands would really be destroyed. Only then would they accept help from the bottom of their hearts, and even hope for help and a chance to turn things around.
The toughest part of a player was their mouth.
Liao Zixuan felt that there was a high chance that the Thousand Islands players were still holding on for the sake of their reputation, but in reality, they really didn’t want someone to come and help them in the snow. Of course they did!
This was exactly what Liao Zixuan wanted. Vivian showed her true form and spoke on behalf of the Thousand Islands players, hoping to form an alliance with the Flame Domain and join forces to defend the Thousand Islands.
If that was the case, why? We don’t need it!
She became a little girl who didn’t hesitate to expose her biggest secret for them and to save the Thousand Islands. What else was there to say?
Under the two scenarios, there was no change in what Vivian did, but the results were vastly different.
Therefore, it was not just ” malicious ” that needed to be packaged. Sometimes, even ” good intentions ” needed to be packaged.
This was what Vivian lacked, but there was no need to worry. After all, she had a father-like wolf cub by her side to protect her.
At least…It was like this now.
[Ding, you have received the B-rank mission [Death Investigation] issued by the Fox-faced Witch.]
[Desperate Investigation]
[Mission Details: The surface of the Thousand Islands may seem calm, but danger lurks beneath it. Not long ago, a drastic change occurred in the depths of the sea. Ancient things began to stir the sea. The evil tentacles from the Abyss have broken through the shackles. This will be a catastrophe that will engulf the Thousand Islands. What you need to do is to find the glimmer of hope in this endless darkness.]
[Mission objective: Take a ship to the designated sea coordinates for reconnaissance and report back.]
[Mission Reward: 5000 EXP, 1 – 3 Silver Coins, random ‘low-level’ profession skill book]
Many Sakuragi Island players received this quest from the Fox-faced Witch.
Most of them were a little surprised, just like the big dog.
“F * ck! Brother Dog, is the reward for this mission real? 5,000 experience points?”The lackeys beside him could not help but exclaim.
5,000 experience points was a huge sum for players who were around level 13 or 14 at this stage. It could allow them to level up more than once, which was equivalent to their leveling speed for a week.
“What’s going on today? Why is our Witch Sister suddenly so generous…Uh, alright, although he was usually quite generous, wasn’t this too much?”
The players who were pleasantly surprised by the mission rewards began to speculate. Many of them believed that it must have something to do with the Abyssal Sea storyline that had just happened. Unfortunately, only the players from the Moon Abyss Island had participated in this part. The players from Sakuragi Island could only rely on the posts on the Internet to find out.
“Brother Dog, do you think that our fox-faced witch is really like what those people on the forum said? In fact, she’s actually Wei from the Flame Domain…”
Before the lackey could finish his sentence, he was kicked by the person beside him.
As a closed beta player, the dog had suffered a lot at the hands of ” Vivian ” in the Flame Domain. In fact,” to avoid Vivian ” was one of the main reasons why the dog chose to speak out in Thousand Islands.
