Global Mining

In the command center in front of the gods, the atmosphere was at a loss.

Faced with the attack of two unidentified enemy ships, the NPC captain of the Kirishima Maru team decisively issued an order to flee, and retreated after losing half of the supplies.

The captain cursed repeatedly. Not only did he find nothing on the Spice Island, but he also suffered losses when he explored the Plague Island on his own initiative. The key is that he didn't find anything. How can he explain to the Earl when he returns...

The young master couldn't accept it either. This means that the relationship with the Earl that he had finally established by selling out his interests will become extremely distrustful, and it will be difficult to ask the Earl for help in the future.

"Mr. Peeping, what do you think we should do?"

The Peeping Immortal said: "Young master, if nothing is found, then declare that there is nothing - let the NPC go back and give an explanation, saying that there is no ghost town at all. It is completely that this exile colluded with the pirates, lit the lights on the island to attract explorers to explore like moths to a flame, and then was robbed by the pirates."

The whole room was in an uproar!

The young master was even more shocked: "Mr. Candid Photographer, I think what you said is entirely possible!"

The Candid Photographer said solemnly: "If I were exiled to the island, I would do the same! I mean, when there is no mission triggered, there are no mission resources on the island, and it is completely desolate."

The young master suddenly realized: "But in fact, everyone thinks that he has a mission that triggered the appearance of the ghost town!"

The Candid Photographer said: "This is indeed a very suspicious thing. He escaped and spread the plague to the world announcement. The most important thing is that at the highlight moment of the announcement at the Saliye Silver City Celebration, he followed up with an announcement to get a lot of traffic - all of these are to focus the world's attention on the Plague Island. What is his purpose?"

The young master said in a deep voice: "Cover up the real actions of his team behind the scenes?"

The Candid Photographer said: "It is possible, but we still have to determine that he does have a mission to trigger the appearance of the ghost town. He is being fake, and what we have to do is to control the situation and go against him - claiming that this is a despicable A scam, so that no other explorers will come to the island, and at the same time, his reputation will be ruined and he will lose the attention of the world. In the end, only we will continue to secretly investigate this plague island. "

The young master was very pleased: "Mr. Voyeur, you are really a task master, very good! The Kirishima Maru team will do their best to persuade the NPC captain to let the NPC spread this scam. "

"Kirishima Maru understands."

The Voyeur Immortal also felt that he should boost the morale of the team: "Young master, the masters of the Earl's Mansion have all gone to prison, and the guard dogs have also gotten used to me , and now it is just getting dark. In order to succeed in the war of public opinion, I think it is time to work as a reporter. "

The young master was quite looking forward to it: "Then do as you say."

"Understood."

...

In order to cultivate Amy as an insider, the voyeur immortal hid in the laundry room of the Earl's Mansion to help her wash clothes and sheets for two days. The quick and good washing made Amy appreciated by the housekeeper, and also made the Earl's Mansion have nothing to wash. From this, she can help wash the gorgeous sheets and gauze curtains of the female family members, and can also go to the kitchen to wash dishes to improve Amy's cooking skills.

But she still can't wash the underwear of the dancers and ladies. Maybe she can wait a little longer, maybe the female family members will never let others touch their underwear no matter how lazy they are...

In short, although there are regrets in the main business, the side business is very fruitful: Amy has heard a lot of gossip from those chattering maids, which is enough to complete the employment process of newspaper reporters and thieves.

But the most important thing was that the maid in the kitchen lowered her voice and spoke mysteriously in the morning, and deliberately avoided Amy who came forward to inquire. The original words were only two sentences:

"The lid was opened again last night..."

"Alas, although she eats well and dresses well, she is too pitiful!"

...

This amount of information is really too much!

The whole public beta was focused on the noble route, and even if it was a guess, it was roughly guessed: the lid might be a sewer cover, and the poor person who eats well and dresses well could only be a dancer. Amy's sister was a dancer who died of illness, so the maid had to avoid her to talk about this matter-so the conclusion was inferred that there was a secret passage in the Earl's Mansion for dumping corpses.

And the secret passage is indeed a common facility for escaping from the noble mansion. This means that players can attack the Earl's Mansion from the secret passage! At present, the city is still under the control of the plague, the manhole covers of the sewers are welded shut, and it is impossible to take the holy artifact that Dachun exploded. Finding this secret passage is also a top priority.

In short, I must officially become a thief!

So the candid photographer said goodbye to Amy: "I will be away for a while, and I will come back in three days at the latest. By then, there will be a lot of dirty clothes in the mansion, and I will come back to help you wash them."

Amy was also reluctant: "I will go to visit my mother after I go out and tell her that I am fine!"

"I know, you stay in the house, don't send me off - remember, there must be no possibility of being seen with outsiders!"

Amy already understood: "I understand, just like the kitchen aunt and the head of the personal guard were still seen dating in the garden in the middle of the night..."

The candid photographer was very relieved. This is the information that the gossip tabloids love the most, but this kind of information needs to be dug deep and spliced ​​before it can be sold in the newspaper. I have already thought of the subsequent splicing: "The Countess also passed by with the personal guard late at night..."

In short, after the candid photographer left the house and confirmed that there were no dogs or masters in the backyard, he ran a hundred meters and hit the wall and died!

Although it is not difficult to climb over the wall, there are players everywhere on the street who have witnessed it. This is unsolvable, so he can only commit suicide.

Then resurrect in the square, regardless of the weakness of death, go directly to the secret headquarters of the thieves - not the tavern that players usually think, but the tabloid newspaper office!

According to the insider information obtained by the young master, the thief profession was very strong in the pioneering era in the game background. There was a saying that one of the thieves was the king, so it was "anti-monopoly split", and it might be split into treasure hunters and shadow killers. So now the main business of the thieves is to collect buying and selling information - but this does not mean that the thieves have become weaker. People who really understand should know that this is actually controlling the media public opinion, which is the strongest!

Enter the newspaper office from the back door, hand over more than 100 gossip information related to the Earl's Mansion, get a considerable amount of manuscript fees for newcomers, omit the tasks that have been completed during the public beta, and directly pass the interview to work as a newspaper reporter. This is not a combat profession, but having the public opinion authority of the "uncrowned king" is the basis for real take-off.

Then enter the secret door to reach the thieves' headquarters - an underground tavern for striptease! Yes, it's still a tavern! But where to enter is the key. Then I became a thief, and I had the three most core professional skills: stealth, pickpocketing, and sprinting.

Stealth and invisibility are not on the same level, but the advantage is that there is no consumption. Even in the hands of ordinary master players, these few skills are enough.

Now the candid photographer is also a part-time newspaper reporter and thief. This strength and status are enough to justify the effort of two days of laundry.

Then I ate and drank in the tavern to eliminate the weakness of death, and then went to the store to buy a set of housekeeper-level clothing with the manuscript fee - although I can buy more expensive ones, but this is the key, and I must not exceed it while being decent.

After preparation, my work should also be printed and published in the newspaper, so I bought one and went to find the No. 1 female dancer Vivian. During the two days of laundry, other members of the task group also came into contact with this dancer, and generally knew her interests and personality. She admired the upper class very much, so it was easy to deal with.

Arriving at the Harbor Tavern, Candid subconsciously greeted the two resident surveillance team members to confirm that everything was normal, then came to Vivian's counter to order a drink and showed her press card: "Miss Vivian, can I interview you?"

Vivian looked at him with surprise, and then said lazily: "Not interested."

Candid was very satisfied with her surprise, which was a recognition of her transcendent status.

So he handed over the newspaper: "I am a very talented reporter, this is my work, I can get first-hand information about the inside story of the nobility! You must be very interested."

Vivian's lazy eyes suddenly lit up, and she was really interested: "You write these, aren't you afraid that the Earl will kill you?"

It has to be said that this is the price of tabloid reporters. Although the newspaper is the uncrowned king as a whole, individual reporters must be prepared. Anyway, the Earl's power is mostly tied up underground, so they have to take advantage of the Earl's lack of hands to make a fuss about him.

"Don't be afraid, this is my professional creed."

Vivian asked again: "Then what can you interview me about?"

"First of all, about the spices."

Vivian said: "It has been announced at the banquet. It was picked up on the beach. As for the value, it has been handed over to the Spice Guild for evaluation. It's all public information. I have nothing to say."

The candid photographer sighed: "Although we are a tabloid, we are very popular with the public. Such news really disappoints the public and makes them lose interest. I want to get more explosive news and more inside information about the Baron, which can also make you more famous. You must be very interested. I hope you can help me interview the Baron."

Vivian did not answer immediately, but continued to read the newspaper with interest.

The candid photographer waited patiently, waiting for her to refuse.

For the intelligent NPC with a simple materialistic personality template like Female No. 1, there are fourteen changes to deal with it later. Every time she refuses, she will eliminate the other half of the response plan. Her personality is also more detailed. She only needs to refuse twice more, and then she can lock in success!

Finally, Vivian spoke: "You mean, you want to write the same exciting news for the Baron?"

"Yes!"

Vivian smiled and took out something like a house number: "I am looking forward to it. The Baron's Mansion needs a temporary servant. You can go to the Baron's Mansion with this house number to report the secret visit. But the premise is that what you write must be handed over to me as soon as possible and cannot be published, otherwise-"

-System prompt: You triggered the event "Temporary helper in the Baron's Mansion", do you agree?

Candid was stunned! It was a secret visit? Although I am very confident, it is not right that the event was successfully triggered beyond expectations at one time, and there is no way to lock her character.

Candid instantly thought of Dachun. There is only one possibility. Dachun has been attacking her throughout the public beta period to advance her task progress!

When I thought of this, Candid's fighting spirit instantly burned up. Although Dachun walked in front, I can still pull him down and lead the process!

-Agree!

"Thank you, Miss! I'll give it to you as soon as possible."

Vivian waved lazily again: "Go..."

The candid photographer did not leave immediately, but pretended to stay and listen to the chat of the NPC drinkers, and immediately heard the drinkers talking about the legend of the ghost town on Plague Island.

The candid photographer asked with a smile: "Miss Vivian, what do you think of the rumors about Plague Island?"

Vivian was a little impatient: "I don't know."

The candid photographer said solemnly: "In fact, I also have news about the ghost town on Plague Island. I will write an article and give it to you as soon as possible-"

Then he immediately sat on the bar chair and wrote while saying: "Because this is not the Baron's Mansion, although I gave you the first-hand information, this can be published..."

Vivian took the manuscript and couldn't believe it: "It was discovered by the Earl's treasure ship again?"

Candid smiled and said: "Yes, I know the Earl's Mansion very well. Then, Miss Vivian, I will go to the Baron's Mansion as a servant."

This is not only a suppression of Dachun, but also a test of the attitude of Female No. 1. The Earl's treasure ship is still on the way back, and has not had time to spread the news. If Female No. 1 spreads the news in advance, it means that she is very disdainful and dissatisfied with Dachun. If it is not spread, there are three situations...
