The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 468 Auctioning Myself! The Last Mercy of Dream Building (asking for monthly tickets)

At another time, a big anchor like Heroic Sniper could easily get a lot of helpers.

Even if he doesn't actively ask for help, the players will come and join in the fun.

But unfortunately, all the players are in Havana participating in Anne More's competition for marriage, so they really don't have time.

Moreover, there are only two or three merchant ships that pass through Bermuda.

Players without ships cannot help even if they want to.

The brave sniper's friend who had a boat was also unable to free his hands for the time being.

Nanakahua completed the storyline of the "Merchant" identity in the [Civilian] storyline.

This part of the story is relatively peaceful, and the main gameplay is to make money, do business, develop chambers of commerce, and expand the fleet...

It reminded her of the sailing simulation business game she played on the computer a few years ago.

No matter how well you develop in a single-player game, the sense of satisfaction cannot be compared with that in a multiplayer world.

So after completing the main storyline, Qihuahua quickly moved to the open world and established the [Polaris Chamber of Commerce].

Now is the time for [Polaris Shipping] to establish its first business and shape the image of the Chamber of Commerce, and it is impossible to do without Havana.

……

Huanyue also started as a [Civilian], but chose "Bounty Hunter" in the branch options.

In the story, the main mission of this identity is to hunt down wanted criminals.

Players need to spend a lot of energy on collecting information, understanding cause and effect, and finding goals.

After finding it, you also need to evaluate the target's strength, look for the opponent's weaknesses, and prepare appropriate combat weapons and plans.

Finally, strike at the right time and place and kill the opponent in one fell swoop!
"Fighting" is just the last step of the whole process.

Huanyue is extremely addictive to play.

The feeling of working hard to collect information, lock on to the target, prepare plans, and even set traps in advance, and finally successfully killing the target, is a full positive feedback.

The sense of immersion is also very strong.

Especially the last goal in the plot——

There is an overlap here with the [Navy] starting mission.

In the mission that starts with [Civilians], after the leader of the Blood and Bone Pirates who massacred Jérémie obtained the [Privateer License] issued by the Queen, the Navy stopped pursuing them without the intervention of the player.

Even the arrest warrant was revoked.

Let the murderer go unpunished.

So the bounty hunter who was born as a [civilian] carried out his first unpaid hunt—

Bring death to the leader of the Blood and Bone Pirates who killed his relatives and plundered his hometown.

That was the longest, most difficult and most prepared hunt.

It was also the hunt in which the most criminals were killed, the battle scenes were the largest, and the assassination process was the most imaginative.

Huanyue sneaked into the huge flagship of the Blood Bone Pirates and killed the cadres of the Blood Bone Pirates one by one like a shadow, letting them die one by one in fear.

Finally, he walked out with dignity and stabbed the leader of the Blood and Bone Pirates to death on the steering wheel with one sword.

When the ending CG appears, it is really refreshing.

Then he opened two accounts, maintaining them in both open world and hardcore modes, hunting wanted criminals.

This is more difficult than the fixed objectives in the plot.

After all, without the assistance of the system, if the target is a player, there will be no clues arranged by the system.

But he never tires of it.

Because as long as it succeeds, it will inevitably cause a huge sensation.

——Just like he had killed ShaDow in the Battle of Barbados in full view of everyone.

It’s so cool!
He came to Havana this time to hunt wanted criminals.

In reality, if someone is wanted, they will most likely avoid places with heavy traffic.

But the game world is different.

A wanted player is still a player.

As long as you are a player, you will not want to miss any big event.

Huanyue deduced: There was a very high possibility that those wanted criminals appeared in Havana—or even at the scene of the martial arts competition!

At this time, how could he spare the time to carry out any "calm belt rescue"?

Unfortunately, he was only half right.

There are indeed players on the wanted list who have appeared in Havana.

But he was not discovered by others, but he started the live broadcast arrogantly.

The resourceful fans quickly noticed this live broadcast and forwarded the link to the fan group.

[The wanted criminal in the hardcore mode of "Sail in the Blue Sea" is auctioning himself!]
"???"

Huanyue entered the live broadcast room in confusion and immediately recognized who this person was——

The player who kidnapped Diana, the young daughter of the Governor of San Juan - Black Light!
As a competent bounty hunter, he remembered the names and appearances of all the people on the wanted poster clearly.

In the live broadcast room, the players were very enthusiastic, and the comments were constantly flying:

"Is this even possible? Auctioning your own head?"

"No, buddy, isn't that how everyone names themselves now?"

"You know what? Your business acumen is unmatched! You commit crimes, get listed on wanted lists, auction yourself off, and collect the money, all in one go! Isn't this easier and more enjoyable than making money?" "You can make money by doing evil, and the returns are higher... buddy, you're really unmatched!"

……

While waiting for the number of people in the live broadcast room to increase, Hei Guang casually answered a few questions from the barrage:
"I'm in Havana, and I specifically picked a crowded place. Once the auction is finished, the goods will be delivered to your door within 20 minutes!"

"I do want to get some pounds, but not to cash out, but to get some start-up capital."

"I plan to try to see if I can let Diana inherit her father's position and become the female governor of San Juan Port."

——I can also take over the Port of San Juan.

Of course Hei Guang would not say this, because as soon as he said it, he would definitely be ruined.

"But now I'm wanted, I can't do random missions, I'm starving for money, this plan can't be started at all."

"What? Even Diana will be auctioned? Don't dream! Only my head will be auctioned. There's no way Diana will be given away. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick her out."

The audience was puzzled:
"You're almost dead. According to the rules of hardcore mode, everything is reset to zero. Who knows where you'll appear after you're resurrected? Why are you still hiding Diana?"

"That's right! We're all going to die anyway, so why not bid together? Count Diana in, and I guarantee your auction amount will increase tenfold!"

"If you can't give her a better life, just let her go! Give her to me! I promise to take care of her!"

……

Hei Guang shook his head: "You may not be in hardcore mode, so you don't know the details here."

“We have tested it: after death in hardcore mode, everything we have accumulated - whether it is level, skills or props, will be cleared to zero.”

"But the memories that remain in the NPC's mind follow a different set of rules."

"If you die in front of an NPC, then you are dead. The NPC will not accept your resurrection."

"But if the NPC doesn't see it, then the memory of you won't be cleared immediately, but will be kept for one day. When the server time enters the next day, it will be cleared along with other junk data."

"As long as you create a character with all the same parameters during this period of time and talk to the NPC again, your memory will be preserved."

These are all game mechanisms tested by hardcore mode players with their lives.

Most of the audience in the live broadcast room had no idea about this little knowledge, and they all suddenly understood it after hearing Hei Guang’s introduction.

Hei Guang added: "You can't talk to all NPCs to reinforce their memory - after all, important NPCs are distributed in different islands and cities."

“So if one day you use this technique, you must first find the virtual character that is most important to you!”

"This is the last mercy of Dream Building. We must not waste it."

To enhance his persuasiveness, he also told a story about a tragedy that happened to a hardcore gamer:

"There was a buddy who had a crush on a virtual girl named Jasmine. He was even planning to propose to her, but he accidentally died in battle at sea."

"After I was resurrected, I felt that I had plenty of time. I couldn't possibly miss Jasmine, but I was also likely to miss other important NPCs. In order not to lose the progress of the mission, favorability, shopping discounts, shipyard work, and other things, I hurriedly looked for people to talk to..."

"Unexpectedly, there was a power outage in reality and he was forced to go offline."

"I was so confused that I went around the world looking for people to borrow equipment, but in the end I still didn't make it."

"When he showed up at Jasmine's door again after receiving a call from home, the little girl didn't recognize him anymore. She was crying and insisted that her lover was dead."

"That guy was also heartbroken and hasn't recovered yet."

Hei Guang spoke with deep sympathy written all over his face.

But the netizens in the live broadcast room didn’t see it that way at all:

"Isn't this what you deserve? You still have the mind to think about the progress of the task..."

"Can the favorability level be increased so quickly??? Can he be the one to give the lecture instead? I can pay for it!"

"Wait a minute, brothers, wait a minute! Jasmine, the shipyard... the protagonist of the story, couldn't it be the daughter of the restaurant owner outside the Antigua Shipyard? She's only 14 years old, you beast!!"

"As expected of the person who kidnapped Diana, your circle of friends has something to say about this, host..."

"Great, a 14-year-old widow-to-be (?)"

"Host, please tell that buddy: I ​​want to compete with him fairly! Buy a ticket to Antigua now!"

……

Heiguang looked at the ridiculously skewed wind direction in the live broadcast room and quickly changed the subject.

Otherwise, the live broadcast room will be blocked soon.

Even if things go wrong, your uncle might come to teach you a lesson...

"Stop! There are almost enough people, the auction officially begins!"

"Attention! Not only can you get my head, the reward for the wanted order and the reputation of the Royal Navy, but you can also get the reward and favor of the Governor of San Juan Port!"

"The starting price is only £500! This is an absolute once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Now, friends who are interested can make an offer!"

……

While watching the live broadcast, Huanyue had already switched to hardcore mode, planning to mobilize the team and go out to look for someone.

As for participating in the auction, spending money?

He didn't even think about it.

A true bounty hunter would not resort to such means!

But obviously, not everyone has his persistence——

In Hei Guang's live broadcast room, the price of his head doubled within 1 minute, exceeding 1000 pounds.

And as time goes by, it is still rising!
