Xu Sili was communicating with Adrian when he received the message from Xiao Wu.
The export of the short-distance teleportation circle had basically been negotiated. Even though many countries were interested, considering the manpower issue, Xu Sili still gave priority to several nations that previously helped Roland.
As discussed before, the Roland Empire didn’t charge too high a price for construction costs. They aimed for longer-term cooperation.
After all, even without mentioning the energy stones, one or two short-distance teleportation circles weren’t enough for a nation. Take the Food City for example. At least ten were needed.
Once these nations realized the benefits of the short-distance teleportation circles, would they only want to build them in one city? Would they want to include the entire planet in the teleportation network?
How many short-distance teleportation circles would that require? Hundreds or thousands?
Moreover, the teleportation circle also required regular maintenance. The maintenance fee was also a stable source of income.
These nations weren’t far from the Roland Empire. The nearest one required about half a month of interstellar travel.
When Adrian came to cooperate with Xu Sili, he had already started recruiting magic circle masters who could build short-distance teleportation circles. He also spread the word that there would be a lot more in the future.
Therefore, in addition to watching the Starry Sky Cup competition recently, many players were working hard to change their careers to become magic circle masters.
In the Starry Sky Age system, players could learn multiple life professions. However, they needed to reach the master level in the first life profession before they could learn the second one.
If they went to the NPC before they reached the maximum level, the NPC would ignore them. Some of them had bad tempers and would directly chase the player away.
Of course, there was one other exception.
It was to learn and gain enlightenment on their own!
This was also the feature of Starry Sky Age. Not only could they learn combat skills by themselves, they could also learn magic circles.
Among the best of them, it was necessary to mention Su Mo, the first magic circle master after the launch of Starry Sky Age!
Now, Su Mo had become a high-level magic circle master. In addition to teleportation circles, he was also good at defense and auxiliary combat types of magic circles.
This time, Xu Sili planned to send him out.
In the beginning, Su Mo taught himself when there were no magic circle masters in the Roland Empire.
The cross-city teleportation circles were built by him, Chi Yu and Su Lin. For this, he received a generous reward and owned a piece of land of his own in Imperial City.
Now his house had been built. After so long, he successfully pursued Chi Yu and the two of them had been together for some time.
Others didn’t take his relationship seriously after they found out about it. No matter how intelligent the NPCs of Starry Sky Age were, did it make sense to fall in love with an NPC? Don’t be ridiculous.
Players were subject to many restrictions in the game, including not being able to harass NPCs, even if the NPCs agreed.
There was once a player who took advantage of an NPC’s admiration for the braves to ask the NPC to kiss him. However, as soon as he was touched, the player was forced to log off.
Players who actively harassed NPCs would be forced offline as well as severely punished. For example, being banned from going online for three days.
As for NPCs taking off their clothes in front of the players, the area below the neck was blocked by holy light. Nothing could be seen except for the hands and feet.
Under the unremitting attempts of some players, they finally came to a conclusion.
Players could only hug NPCs once at most, and not for too long. They must avoid hugging key parts, but could hold hands or something like that. Don’t think about anything else.
Who could stand such a platonic love? Even NPCs couldn’t stand it!
That’s right. Perhaps due to the historical background, but the people of the Roland Empire were rough. It wasn’t only in combat, but also when it came to emotions.
Someone posted a message on the forum saying that a female NPC took a fancy to him, and he showed off for a long time. Then after a few days, the female NPC ruthlessly abandoned him because he disappeared every time she wanted to be intimate with him.
Therefore, when players fell in love with NPCs, it was a torment for both parties and it was impossible for the relationship to last long.
However, Su Mo scoffed at this.
Starry Sky Age had been open for two years, and his love for Chi Yu had never changed from beginning to end. Even after they were together, this love was deepening day by day.
Chi Yu must feel the same way toward him!
So even if he could only hold hands and hug occasionally, he was really satisfied. Well… at least for now.
So Su Mo was reluctant at first when he received the mission assigned to him by Xu Sili.
The mission clearly stated that he would be going on an interstellar business trip in half a month to build short-distance teleportation circles for a nation called Redborough. The mission would last for two months.
For other players, this mission might seem like a pie from the sky.
So far, players had only received a few missions to leave Escher Star and go into the universe. All of them were missions with very large restrictions.
As for Su Mo’s mission, Xu Sili didn’t put too many restrictions on him. After Su Mo completed the construction within a specified time, he could play on the alien planet for a while before coming back.
However, Su Mo didn’t think so.
How could a business trip be as attractive as staying home with his spouse? In addition, it was a business trip that lasted for two months! He would consider it if he could take Chi Yu out to play but…
After some hesitation, Su Mo accepted the mission.
Then he happily went to find Chi Yu. He knew that Chi Yu could contact His Majesty Snow directly and they seemed to have a good relationship.
He hoped that Chi Yu could convince His Majesty Snow to let them go on the business trip together.
In fact, he felt that the success rate should be quite high. After all, Chi Yu was now a very powerful magic circle master!
Xu Sili was a bit amused when he received Chi Yu’s request.
He had been paying attention to the relationship between the two of them since the closed beta and also learned about it from the future forum, where the two of them had been together for ten years. It was understandable that their relationship was deep.
He couldn’t do anything to break up the young couple, but considering Chi Yu’s safety, he asked Chi Yu to think it over carefully.
Su Mo could be resurrected when he died, and could even use death to return to the Roland Empire. Meanwhile, Chi Yu was different. If he went with them, he could only return by spaceship.
As a result, after Chi Yu went back to discuss it with Su Mo, he finally applied to Xu Sili to bring another person.
“We would like to take Su Lin with us. We hope Your Majesty will grant us permission,” Chi Yu said respectfully.
Su Lin, the boy who once cultivated the Snow Valley and made health medicine, now studied card skills in addition to magic circles. He happened to master the skill of card transformation.
“With him here, safety will be much higher. Once we come back, we can ask him to turn himself and me into cards. Then let Su Mo bring us back together.”
Of course, Chi Yu didn’t want to use this method unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even though Su Mo could be resurrected, Chi Yu didn’t like it.
After listening to this, Xu Sili was speechless for a while.
So, now not only the players, but even the NPCs had learned to exploit bugs?
Finally, he was forced to agree.
It wouldn’t be a bad thing for NPCs to go out more often and broaden their horizons.
In addition to Su Mo, dozens of other players received the same mission.
Once they posted the mission on the forum, it immediately sparked discussion among a large number of players. The popularity even overshadowed the Starry Sky Cup.
It was because this mission was likely to mean the start of a new expansion pack!
This might be a precursor for players to officially set foot on the interstellar journey!
As a result, a trend of self-learning magic circles also became popular among the braves of the Roland Empire.
Almost every player had an introductory book on magic circles and they would flip through it whenever they had time. It was because Su Mo got enlightenment from reading this book and learned magic circles!
It was also because of the players’ enthusiasm that Dominic taught them the long-distance teleportation circle without noticing. Then these players quietly built it on Bewatt Star.
Xu Sili heard Xiao Wu’s words and couldn’t help feeling a headache.
If players really built this teleportation circle, they wouldn’t be restricted by reputation, strength, daily missions, etc., when traveling between the two planets.
These restrictions weren’t just to constrain players, but to screen for those who were less likely to betray and had higher loyalty.
Even among the players, there were some who tried to leave Bewatt Star and venture to other planets, not to mention the players who didn’t meet the requirements.
Xu Sili didn’t want to trap players on Escher Star forever, but he had to take it slow and proceed step by step.
He thought for a long time before finally calling out Xiao Wu. After learning about the current situation on Bewatt Star, he asked Xiao Wu to do a few things for him.
Bewatt Star, the players’ base.
A vast oasis was covered with a variety of tropical plants, which were still lush and full of vitality under the scorching sun in the desert.
Qiuqiu lay on the pistil of a flower, turned over comfortably and fell into a deep sleep. Suddenly, his furry cat ears moved and he opened his eyes with some alertness.
He tilted his head and listened carefully for a while. Then he got up, crawled out of the flower and slid down the flower stem to the ground.
Not far from this flower, there was a communicator around the same size as him.
Qiuqiu walked over curiously and looked down at the flashing indicator light on the communicator. He was awakened due to the notification sound from the communicator.
Was it Late Night Poisoning calling?
Qiuqiu reached out and touched the indicator light. Suddenly, a huge light curtain that was three times the size of him lit up.
However, the one who appeared in the light curtain wasn’t the familiar Late Night Poisoning but…
A strange man with silver hair and purple eyes.
