The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!

Chapter 701: Chapter 517: The King of Black Phosphorus Delivered to the Door

Round-faced Princess Magdalena has been quite confused lately.

Her subordinates have mostly deserted her. Those disloyal Undead left without any regrets, taking away everything they could exploit, even deliberately committing more misdeeds when she issued Bounty Orders with punitive Titles such as "Lustful," "Greedy," "Unbeliever."

Is this supposed to be rewarding?

Beside her, Corruption King Grace, who was gently stroking her pet beast, looked at the agitated Magdalena, at a loss on how to console her.

None of her tactics, modeled after Lind’s, seemed to work. Could there be a difference in the quality of weaponry and equipment given?

Nevertheless, Lind would never resolve her doubts.

"We might need to reconsider negotiating with Lind Armand."

Magdalena suddenly controlled her anxious emotions and said to the king.

"We are no match for him in handling the Undead; if we could cooperate, to return to Misty Rain City..."

"That might be the right choice," nodded Grace.

If they could temporarily set aside their obsession with power and cooperate with Lind, perhaps they could together face the catastrophe that would descend from the sky in decades.

"I will write a letter now."

"Do you know how to contact him?"

"Of course, we have a special messenger."

...

"Why should I cooperate?"

Lind immediately refused the so-called cooperation proposal without even thinking, dismissing the Undead who had been tasked with "delivering the message" without giving the expected reward. Of course, he also could not deny that the other party’s name was a bit too bizarre, making him not want to converse with them.

Whether spoken by his own mouth or the other party’s, he would feel it perverted.

Previously, he wanted to cooperate because his power was too weak, even considering finding Beast Girl Soralis at the Beast Sacrificial Ground as striking treasure. But at this stage, he has many deities, and ordinary-strength bosses seem too weak to serve as NPCs for him.

As for Corruption King Grace, with her strength at level 6 and being a fiery, mature queen, she could suffice as a Poster Girl, but frankly speaking, Magdalena lacks both power and looks. These reasons should suffice to sentence her as an NPC. Moreover, the exciting "main plot" associated with her, which is now Misty Rain City, is next on Lind’s list to capture.

Offering help in a snowstorm was not happening, let alone stealing his spot.

At this moment, wanting to gain additional beauty, Lind wouldn’t give such an opportunity. He sat leisurely in his chair, silently watching videos.

There are new outfit stylings to watch.

After fulfilling his role as a messenger, the Magic Bull left the City Lord’s Grand Hall.

"This place is still so vibrant."

Lead by the Undead Newbie Village, it can be considered just a Newbie Village at best, dealing with basic equipment and materials from the new version, then quickly picking up tasks to proceed to new maps; this is the recent strategy summarized by the big shots.

Merely another batch among the many sent to Magic Land, Magic Bull was fortunate during a blind box opening to obtain a ticket for teleportation.

His luck has always been good; he had even received a special messenger task from Magdalena, with a substantial reward.

The task was simple: just deliver the letter to Lind’s hands, which wasn’t difficult at all as the position of NPCs is almost transparent to the Undead.

There’s even a group of Undead who, out of boredom, choose to live-stream an NPC’s day. Almost all NPCs detest being watched, but the Undead still manage to peep through methods like chatting and disguising.

However, after completing the delivery task, Magic Bull was a bit bewildered. He had spent much time and effort coming to Eternal Summer Nest; should he just turn back to complete the task now?

The task’s rewards were indeed plentiful, but looking at the bustling Undead...

"Forming teams to farm materials, fight small beast tides, ++++++"

"Digging for minerals on a giant beast ++++++"

"New team, exploring new maps, cautious cat personalities ++++++"

"Need a shopping proxy for 30% discount knives, DM for details ++++++"

Various calls made the scene entirely different from the hurried individuals of the Undead-led Newbie Village.

This is also why Lind confidently refused Magdalena; the new map would surely divert the vast majority of people, and since this isn’t a real game world, resources don’t refresh.

Areas captured in advance will permanently remain captured, and minerals mined might take countless years to regrow. In the western Land of Beasts, where the power dynamics are almost harmonious, without significant power wars, the Undead will lack tasks and resources severely.

Undertake an expedition to Misty Rain City? The Undead are too weak, can’t even get through the gates, and even if they manage to push past the gatekeeper with a swarm tactic, the resources won’t suffice for all and Magdalena clearly hadn’t thought about compensating the Undead for their losses.

The classic logic of those in power is rewards come after accomplishing a task, and there are penalties for failure.

But Lind’s operational logic is positioning himself in the service industry, providing ample rewards for success and no penalties for failure, and only thus could he attract followers.

As for the subsequent thefts, voyeurism, and other foul behaviors among the Undead, it’s also unsurprising as they are presented with a world where "you can’t do this, and you can’t do that," completely unrestrictive.
