▪️NPC Task System

The NPC mission system is a game mechanics that Eve has been considering to implement for a long time.

Currently in “Kingdom of the Elves”, the game missions are mostly personally issued and settled by herself, even the daily missions issued by Alice are also created by her in the background calculations.

This micromanaging of everything really puts the strain upon her computing capabilities.

This inefficient system cannot go on since soon, Eve plans to finally officially launch the open beta!

By then, players will definitely flood in large numbers, numbering in the tens of thousands.

As the number of players increases, Eve certainly cannot do everything by herself, and many things can actually be outsourced to the native elves instead hereby lessening the processing capacity she needs to output.

Eve’s plan is to connect the core game system she designed with her own faith channel, issue a partition of the input management into her believers so that they could output task by themselves even without her direct intervention.

Making it so that they would actually function just like a true game NPCs!

This… is the NPC mission system!

Specifically, based on the faith level of her believers, she will assign them certain game authorities, construct NPC templates, and let them have the power to independently assign tasks and rewards to players.

This is a bit like turning “Elf Kingdom” into a company.

Eve is the CEO, Alice would then be a chief operations manager and the rest of her believers are the employees, while the players are their customers and investment.

The higher their level of reverence for her, the greater the administration rights she would grant upon them.

Also in Eve’s plan, she plans to give different ranks like Saint-class believers are purple NPC templates, Fanatical-class believers blue NPC templates, and Devout-class believers white NPC templates.

Shallow believers who provide too little faith will not be integrated into the system.

If you want to have the ability to assign tasks to the chosen ones, then praise this goddess and become a devout believer as soon as possible!

As for the only golden NPC, that would be her own avatar alone.

The content of the tasks is set by the believers themselves.

The content may benefit believers themselves, but it must not harm or even misconstrue the interests of the mother goddess, and it must have a positive feedback effect on the development of elven civilization.

Of course, Eve will encourage believers to carry out tasks that are beneficial to Her.

And if the tasks that believers carry out can make outstanding contributions to Her and the elven civilization, then Eve will also rightfully reward them!

Considering the innate nature of elves in Saigües, Evé for now is not worried that someone will mess things up.

The rewards for such tasks can be provided by the believers themselves, or they can be allocated in the form of experience points and contribution points, or even the learning of some skills and career changes!

Of course, the skills and career changes provided by NPCs and the “direct infusion” in the contribution store are different.

Skills and career changes obtained from NPCs require players to learn from scratch just like the natives.

This can be considered as another path provided to the players!

After all, not everyone has the money to burn on contribution points, and out of over a thousand people, there’s a marginal chance that someone just like that certain salty cat who uses money akin to water might emerge in the future.

The transcendent status of the contribution store will not change.

In addition, the amount of experience points and contribution points that believers be allocated to will also be linked to their degree of faith.

The more devout their faith in Eve is, the larger the portion they will receive, and the larger the one-time allocation will be!

The amount is refreshed every 24 hours and cannot be accumulated.

Of course, the amount of rewards allocated to NPCs must be significantly lower than that of the main questline.

The most generous rewards, as well as the most special rewards, must still be held within Eve’s own hands!

However, daily tasks are not subject to these restrictions.

Daily tasks can be repeated.

Generally, the daily tasks during a certain periods are part of Eve’s development plan during that period of time.

For example, the daily tasks now are to expand the elven town and repair the holy city of Florence.

For daily tasks, Eve will specially design a daily silver task NPC template, which can also be compatible with the ordinary NPC template.

For example, Saint Alice can simultaneously have both the daily task NPC template and the purple NPC template as well.

That is to say, while freely distributing daily tasks, she can also distribute NPC tasks that belong to her according to her own preferences.

Once this system is activated, the gameplay of the entire game will be more diverse!

At the same time, Eve will also be partially freed from task distribution, and only need to oversee the game on a macro scale.

Behind the scenes, the system runs and the main storyline is all that’s needed her full attention.

For the native believers, it will once again ignite their faith and deepen their communication with the players.

Eve can already vaguely foresee that all players will be transformed into believers…especially those faithful and devoted elves.

Additionally, Eve plans to evaluate the “performance” of all believers’ tasks every few months or a year.

Those who make significant contributions to the development of civilization, the spread of faith, and the increase of Eve’s strength will be rewarded generously!

In this way, believers’ enthusiasm will be stimulated, and they will be guided in the direction of task distribution.

Hmm, She is so clever!

Eve is very satisfied.

She had thought of these plans long ago.

But before she became a god, Eve’s control of faith was still rough and she could not connect the two systems well.

But now she can.

Thinking of this, Eve quickly began the relevant preparations and officially established the NPC task system!

On the edge of the elf village.

Black Dragon Meryer gnawed on a roasted meat and sniffled:

“It’s too pitiful! The elves are really too pitiful!”

“I’ve heard of the name of the elven race, but I’ve never seen this beautiful race before. I never thought they, who uphold peace, would be so tragic…”

Just now, Li’l Salty Cat told Meryer the history of the elves in the form of a story.

And in order to make it more emotional, while Li’l Salty Cat was telling the story, she searched for some other tragic stories in the Internet on Earth, specifically choosing the most tragic ones, and modified them into the elven version with some whisk of embellishment.

However, considering that this black dragon had already been deceived by the Orcs before, she did not directly point out that the orcs and humans persecuted the elves, nor did she describe what the elves looked like.

This incomprehensible black dragon…doesn’t it even know that it was these very elves on her story whom have caught it!?

And the final result is that Meryer has completely sunk into the story…

“So…the forces of evil must be eradicated! Ah, I don’t know where the elves are now. If Meryer knew where they were, Meryer would definitely help them!”

The gullible dragon said solemnly while eating the roast meat.

Hearing its words, Li’l Salty Cat smiled mischievously.

She pointed towards a few Rageblaze clansmen visiting the Novice village in the distance and said:

“They are the elves,” she said, then pointed to herself and continued, “I am also a special elf.”

For a moment, Meryer’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Impossible!” it exclaimed, spitting out the roasted meat he had been eating. Its draconic power surged as it angrily roared, “You evil long-eared creature, you are lying to me!”

Li’l Salty Cat was startled, but she still mustered up her courage to say a few more words, “Your beliefs were instilled by those Orcs. And what I haven’t mentioned yet is that it was the Orcs who persecuted the elves in the story!”

“These things can be learned by simply asking around in human society! The reason the orcs drove you was simply to capture elves and sell them as slaves to humans. We are just rebelling against that.”

After hearing Li’l Salty Cat’s words, Meryer was momentarily stunned. It turned its head and looked towards the peaceful and lively atmosphere of the small town in the distance with its expression gradually becoming lost.

Li’l Salty Cat wanted to say more, but her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden system notification that appeared in her field of vision:

【❗】

[Announcement:]

“Elf Kingdom” will be updated at 00:00 on the day after tomorrow earth time. Please prepare to log out in advance.

An update? Li’l Salty Cat was very curious. She checked the time, hesitated for a moment, and said to Meryer, “You should think about it yourself! I’m leaving now.”

With that, she got up and left, leaving only the black dragon behind, lost in thought.
