Chapter 149: 149 - Fury and Fisk
As ESW already had the church of light made by NPCs, the Players from the Holy Church Guild began to interact more with the NPCs of that church and realized that as the days went by, their popularity with these NPCs was increasing, which also increased the friendliness and likelihood of these NPCs trusting them to give hidden quests.
This development not only surprised the Holy Church Guild Players, but also the normal Players, as no one imagined that something like this could change an NPC's opinion, and not only that, if an NPC's favorability towards a Player rose so much They could get hidden quests, with much better rewards than normal quests.
"The artificial intelligence of these NPCs is much greater than I imagined..." Nick Fury was shocked as he watched this.
Before he had been shocked only by the graphical and mechanical capabilities of the games, as other games were practically just interactions between Players with no space for NPCs.
Later, in Oasis, some NPCs appeared, but their intelligence still showed some flaws at the beginning, which gradually became smaller and less noticeable.
Until now he was observing the current state of these artificial intelligences and if there wasn't a name written in a different color, no one would realize that the thing in front of them was not a real person, but just a program running data.
"Notch probably used the Players in Oasis to train this artificial intelligence so that it would finally be ready enough for him to use in Elder Scrolls: Warcraft." Fury sighed.
As Fury had agents of all classes and all races, information reached him first.
Unlike other Players who were still discovering which classes could be blessed, he already knew of at least 4 Players from different classes who were blessed.
The first was a Paladin, Thor, the others were a Hunter, a Shaman and a Rogue, who apparently had more connection with the Gods and spirits of the game, besides the Rogue, of course.
Another thing he discovered from some of these Players was that all the blessed ones had some connection with the class they chose in real life, that is, either ESW could read people's minds to know about their lives outside of the game, or the ESW could analyze people's actions to determine how sincere they were.
"I hope it's the second option..." Nick sighed.
Fortunately, the Rogue who was blessed was his subordinate.
Unlike the Paladin who was blessed by a God of Light, Natasha was blessed by a woman who called herself Daedric Princess Nocturnal.
Unlike Thor who was only blessed by a light from the sky, Natasha also heard a voice in her head, explaining that she was a Daedric Princess and that her name was Nocturnal, the deity of Night, Darkness and Luck.
While Thor's blessing provided him with a 20% increase at all times, Natasha's blessing had conditions, being 25% during the night or in darkness, and only half that during the day or in light.
From what Natasha said, this was because she was just at the beginning, but according to the Daedric Princess, if she continued following this path, the blessing would be enhanced.
Which made Nick deduce something.
"I've never heard of a Daedric Princess, which is to say, there are probably many more deities than we know of, and it might even be possible that some deities could curse the Players instead of blessing them.
The conditions for getting a deity to bless them can be very different from each other, which is why other classes still don't have any Players with a blessing, even though there are more than 1 billion Players..." Nick began to speculate.
"Probably the best way to get a blessing is to follow a certain philosophy to the extreme, so if there is a deity in that philosophy, that deity will probably bless that Player!" Nick got excited when he thought about this and soon commanded some agents to test his theory.
While Nick controlled the agents to test this, Players around the world were being shocked to discover the second Player to be blessed.
The Hunter named BullsEye was blessed by an unknown deity.
When the Players asked him what it was, he just remained silent and didn't explain, but his Guild, Fisk Industries, announced that he had been blessed and showed his effectiveness before and after being blessed, proving to the Players that he had truly been blessed.
His greatest characteristic was that he was a Hunter who didn't use a Pet, he just used a Rifle and his skills as a Hunter, being completely self-sufficient.
Which made the Players deduce that this was the reason he was blessed, which caused many Hunters to abandon their Pets and focus on trying to develop as BullsEye.
Many Hunters even started lining up to join the Fisk Industries Guild, wanting to learn from BullsEye how to be blessed as well.
This large number of Players joining his Guild was exactly what Fisk wanted, as with this he would not only get more manpower in the game, but also his influence in the world would become increasingly greater, both in the game and in the game. real life.
Unfortunately for Fisk, even though he met the criteria to redeem a Skill for real life and paid to skip the line to receive that Skill, he still couldn't use that Skill for the things he wanted, as he failed all of the skill checks. Oasis personality.
But what if he hired normal people from the game to learn the Skills for him and let those people use them for whatever he told them to do?
"I will have to test in the future with these new Players, but if I can get an army of Players with healing skills, even if the men under my command cannot use skills, they will still be able to go into battle without fear of death and come back to be cured by the healers..." Fisk said his plan alone in the office with a smile.
The news about Skills was still only known by a small group of people, but a post on the ESW forum ended this little secret and began to shock the world.
