Chapter 45: Intelligent AI

The players didn't care; so many people signed up that the recruitment clerks were overwhelmed.

He had to record the tongue-twisting names of these fellows.

"Eat Grapes Without Spitting the Skin?" The clerk rubbed his brow in annoyance; these fellows had names more troublesome than the last.

He didn't know how the Xiahui People came up with so many strange names.

The Xiahui People he had met before weren't this strange, were they?

After registration, another guard had Eat Grapes open his arms, checked his arms and thighs, and after confirming there were no physical defects, let him enter the Bing Ying.

Inside the Bing Ying, it was a hive of activity; many new recruits were training, and some veterans were sitting around, wiping their weapons.

Guards and Warriors were somewhat different; those Warriors wore thick armor, unlike the guards who only needed to wear leather armor.

So there was a division after all; Grape Skin found the player group and followed at the end.

There were supposed to be 100 players for this quest, but after registration, 123 players had actually come to the War Church to become soldiers here.

"Very good, your spirit is quite excellent. But you must maintain discipline!" The Guard Team leader Laiende nodded with satisfaction; these fellows were much more obedient than the old geezers recruited from outside.

And they looked to have better physical fitness as well.

The players stood in formation quickly; it had to be said that most players had undergone military training, so this formation was quite standard.

Laiende was impressed once again.

These fellows were interesting; perhaps some could even become Warriors.

"Follow me in single file; we will issue clothes first, then go see where you will be staying," Laiende said stiffly.

Seeing these players, the veterans who had put down their weapons whispered among themselves.

After tidying up their tents and weapons, the players began carrying their mess kits to the dining area.

Seeing the players coming out in twos and threes, those veterans all seemed to have some ideas.

Newcomers, isn't it normal to bully them a little?

"That kid on the left, the one alone, what about him?" A veteran whistled and bumped into a player who hadn't managed to get his food yet.

After being bumped, this player sat down on the ground; the veterans who had trained for many years were very strong, and this player hadn't been watching the road and couldn't dodge in time.

"Do you know you bumped into our squad leader?"

"Yo, is this newcomer not satisfied with us? Huh?"

"Looks like you look down on us; what, want to spar?"

These people clearly saw that this newcomer had Tana on him.

Because just now, this newcomer had taken out his Tana to count while changing clothes.

It had just happened to be seen by these people.

Seeing the trouble, the Guard Team leader Laiende remained indifferent, as if he hadn't seen the farce here at all.

Zhaishen hadn't expected to be extorted by an NPC.

This NPC was too intelligent!

Seeing Zhaishen surrounded, the players didn't have the mood to just watch.

A player put his tray aside and directly blocked those hooligan-like veterans.

"What, someone else planning to play the hero? Hahahaha."

This nasty scene made the players feel a bit disgusted.

It seemed this was also a Branch Line plot.

Consequently, another group of players, whether they had gotten their food or not, all stood in front of Zhaishen.

The unprecedented unity made those few veterans retreat a few steps, and then they shouted: "Newcomers think they're something special? Don't let me see you alone!"

Saying this, the few veterans left dejectedly.

"Damn, got extorted by an NPC, scared the hell out of me." Zhaishen was originally a very homebody person and didn't have strong social skills.

If it were an ordinary online game, it would be fine, as he could still type.

This game required communicating with people, so his "destined to be alone" nature was exposed.

Fortunately, everyone was together; he had never been backed up by so many people before.

Watching the incident here coldly, Laiende nodded; the cohesion of these people was clearly much stronger.

If trained properly, they could play a role on the battlefield.

But the most important thing now was to have them complete the quest of clearing the Sewers in the next few days.

Those rats were truly annoying; they caused trouble every year, and just after the witch incident was settled this year, they had to deal with these damn rats again.

Wealth Church, Golden Church.

Feng Bu'er looked at the letter in his hand and said helplessly: "Bishop Lohate is coming; he says we didn't do well this year and let the War Church steal the spotlight."

"That's not something we can control; the war at the border isn't our responsibility," a few Gold Ties complained.

"But for the witch incident, we owe the War Church a favor," Feng Bu'er spread his hands, "but fortunately we aren't bad either. By the way, where did those few informants go? I haven't seen them loitering in front of us these past few days."

"Those two people don't talk either; who knows where they went."

Just as they were talking, a dozen people arrived outside, all dressed similarly; if you didn't look at their faces, almost every one of them was Feng Buxi.

"Oh, Feng, why did you bring so many people?" Feng Bu'er said quite enthusiastically, "Do you want them to become our informants too?"

Feng Buxi nodded.

"Very good, you've done well. I happen to have something here that needs you to do it," Feng patted Feng Buxi on the shoulder, "This is a map of Bar Street; you need to find all those guys from the Sun God Cult and register them. These guys are very likely involved with the witch incident, and we need to be strictly on guard."

The Sun God Cult was not a major religion in Tana City, but this cult had spread in every region, and the entire kingdom had not stopped their spread.

After all, the doctrine of this cult was relatively peaceful, not as extreme as evil cults, and it could also ensure that those bachelors didn't cause trouble.

For the entire kingdom, this only had benefits and no harm.

"I know you are curious, and we do not want to do this either, but the witches' hiding places are all on Sun Church territory. That Wine bar is like that, and that warehouse is also like that, so it is hard to say whether someone inside the Sun Church has been helping the witches."

An NPC who can explain things like this is truly understanding; now Feng Buxi feels that he does not even need body language to make this NPC understand his meaning.

As expected of an intelligent AI, it knows exactly what he is going to say just by analyzing his facial expressions.

And after finishing, Feng Bu'er himself took out five hundred Tana, "This is your initial operating budget. If you run out, remember to bring materials to me to exchange. Hmm, you also need to solve this literacy problem; this is the alphabet and pinyin, have someone teach you in a while."

It was not just Feng Buxi who was moved; even the other few new players began to feel moved.

Truly an intelligent AI.
