This time, the biggest poka on the management side of ALLFO will be revealed.
"Trader hunt is a decision, why don't you do something about the mini-house first?"
While the Notebook was formulating a strategy in his head, Yurin called out to him and took him by surprise.
Agreeing with Yurin's words, the notebook operates the menu.
“Well, what I want for now is an unlimited supply of water that can be used unconditionally. The recovery bed will also be sorted in two to improve the efficiency of recovery. Add cooking table and work table for Thanatos. ………… But with this, I can't pass from the tent.
"Let's reduce the narrowness of the area and expand the area of agricultural land? To be honest, at this stage, it is not the time to worry about the decor, it is just a matter of having an area that can be safely restored. Better to start from
"That's right. Then let's expand the farmland area. With this amount of real money, 1000 yen was a goodbye, so I felt defeated. No, it is an initial investment to enjoy ALLFO. It's decided!"
Minihome shone green as the record made a decision while shedding tears of blood.
The tent was one size larger, and the kitchen, workspace, and indoor garden were added to the entrance. Unlimited water supply has no special water supply, but all water supplies such as kitchens have an unlimited amount of water remaining. It cost a lot, but I was able to get water permanently with this, so I decided to cut back on drinking for now.
"Thanatos will be allowed into all rooms. Also, there's a box of stuff in the workspace, so please use that."
A notebook that gives instructions to Thanatos in order. At that moment, someone grabbed the Note's shoulder from behind.
"Hey sir. Don't you have a room for me?"
"Huh!? A barbaricus? Do you want a private room?"
"Then, on the contrary, what are you planning with me?"
"This person is troublesome," thought the Notebook in his heart, but Barbariccia, who was smiling strangely, was frightened, and the Notebook involuntarily shut her mouth. Note also predicted there would be shackles for being an NPC with high intelligence and great power, but "Don't look for reality to the point of being weird!"
“Barbariccia, what will you do with a private room?
"Why! Do you want me to stay still in the wagon bed while my master is in that weird tent!?"
"It's an unreal sight if you ask me. Okay, let's make a deal. I'll give Barbariccia a private room, and in exchange, can you sew? You must have it as a skill."
"That's a big deal, to offer such a deal to me. At first, I could have done it rough, but ..well, I'm in a good mood now. Don't worry, the devil won't do it. break the contract. If master will help me revive and give me a private room, I will sew if I want."
As a notebook, there is no need to fixate on sewing now. This is because, like Thanatos, it is possible to summon ghosts with sewing skills.
However, the Notebook acts in conjunction with Barbariccia, and she begins to understand that Barbariccia appears grumpy and arrogant at first glance, but on the surface, she has a relatively modest personality.
If I do my best, I will take a commanding stance, but I will always produce a corresponding return. If she is in a good mood, she will actively support you. Above all, he was always complaining, but he never used veto power. He understood that it was important to deal with NPCs sincerely and not to underestimate them.
Noto was sure if he felt that he was dealing with an NPC in a conventional game, he would definitely get hurt.
If you add a crying room to such a notebook, the mood of Barbariccia will improve markedly as expected.
"Don't you understand, my lord! It's a very cheap tent, but I'm willing to forgive God! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Barbariccia said something very rude and laughed loudly as she ran into the tent. Note and Yurin looked at each other and shrugged.
◆
"Head, this is dangerous! It's worse than ever!"
"Oh? What this time!?
In the ALLFO control room, screams erupted again.
"Again!! Both players avoided the event!"
"Huh? The Barbaricia event was the first murder event, right? Even if you don't use Yoshinba's sword, there's no way you can win the battle with Barbariccia after that."
"No, it's not at that level anymore! Anyway, try it once!"
As I chanted that, the young employee showed the head of a video summarizing the whole story of the negotiation between the notebook and Barbariccia.
"Even if you ask me, I'm in trouble! AI is in control, so if AI decides it is possible as part of a role-playing game, the ALLFO system can do it! But the balance of the game collapses and so on. no! I don't understand the meaning of fusing with the summoned ghost!"
"Even if you don't say that, I understand! This is AI's self-assessment, so it must have decided that it could do it!
“But Barbariccia is a super high level NPC that you can't get involved in unless you have progressed quite a lot in the Grand Quest!?
Damnit damnit! How many continue to produce deviations in a straight line!
“Yes, it has weird skills like veto power.
"...I see, then I have no choice but to wait and see. Let's watch them both for a minute."
---- 2 hours later
"I'm well aware that I shouldn't say things like this, but I really don't like these people anymore ..."
“I want to know if it's okay if it's only for a while, so can you play normally. Moreover, these two people could often get along well without stepping on one of these NPC landmines. "
"I agree. I'm sure I'd be mad if NPCs, no, not even players, kept acting that way in the game."
A head and a young employee who is exhausted. Another management office contacted me to add that.
"Hello, I'm in charge of the bulletin board. It seems that an NPC with a strange range rank is raging in the forest, but the AI replies that it was caused by PL numbers JA0915TO69452 and JA935TO1045. I think these two numbers are in charge of the 3rd control room, do you have any information? The AI has determined that you are not acting illegally, but looking at the contents of the bulletin board it manages here, it seems strange ...'
With that said, the chief checked the official ALLFO bulletin board.
There was already an astonishing number of threads, but even among them, I found threads that strangely grew.
[Truly like that] Yarn for making a fuss about the abnormal situation in the [Funny] East Forest
There, the PK that was happening in the forest on the eastern side of First City was taken, and there were various speculations such as bugs, operations going crazy, or omens of some kind of event. As expected, the extermination of 81 people was an event with great impact, and it seemed that interest in it grew too much rather than catching it.
The head scans the thread and explains the situation to the person in charge of the bulletin board.
“―――――― So, the reason is because the initial bonus group cooperates in an unbelievable situation.Instant simple summon by removing the zombie and using it as a shield, you can compete with several avant-garde individuals. It is the fallen angel player who raises it. Motor nerves, reaction speed, and spatial recognition abilities were far from ordinary people. Moreover, it was because his field of view was unusually wide, or because he was able to cut even if it was a surprise attack from behind diagonally. If the two worked together, they would be extremely strong. And the big problem was that he had a high-level NPC that couldn't possibly exist at his current level."
"Is that so. It would be better to just fix it. The NPCs are also bad, so you can convince them to change items..”.
The person in charge of the bulletin board gave a practical and reasonable opinion, but the manager pressed his eyes and shook his head to suppress his headache, denying the opinion of common sense.
"Unfortunately, I can't do that. ALLFO not only supports the 7th generation, but also sells AI management developed exclusively for ALLFO by collecting the best technology. AI is reacting to this, and its parent, GoldenPear, wants you to evaluate this AI further. "You can adjust the balance perfectly without making adjustments like the stone-paper scissors that have been common in games all along!" That's why if AI decides and allows it here, even if it doesn't violate the terms of service, if these parties handle it arbitrarily, the AI's credibility will be affected. Or rather, I don't know what was told to me from above. My parents probably didn't know about that thing. If you peck a bush and snake out, you're still cute. I am cute because I am cute. I don't want to overdo it."
……………However, the players are very confused. I don't think it's a good idea to leave it alone. Ignoring it means ignoring it, and it can be a matter of obligation in a different sense.
"I understand that, but we have no reason to intervene against them. It's not an easy choice because I've already stated, "There's no need to fix it, so please play with confidence." If we don't rush in, we won't run into problems like this, but from what I've seen, they just choose the optimal solution in difficult conditions, he said, and there's nothing we can do about it. I'd like you to do it yourself .
"Even if you say that, it's troublesome, this way. If you at least do not provide information that the players can understand and the situation in which they can calm down, they will be treated as a salary thief, and there will be an "event" after this ..."
"Unfortunately, both are in 'privacy mode', so they cannot enter their names into the game and make announcements without permission. If you do, it's not a gray zone, it obviously violates the terms of service, so if you get sued, your head will fly. Seriously. After explaining the situation, there was no choice but to negotiate directly with the two of them.
Guh. Thank you for giving me information. I'm sorry for this. I'll ask for your help in case of an emergency, so please help me then.
With a bitter voice, communication was suddenly cut off.
for now the chief of the village heaved a sigh of relief that he should not be an , but at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable because if he prepared a table for direct negotiations, he would not have to be able to, he had to hand over the apology item again.
Commentary (or rather, worldview)
"Anonymous Bulletin Boards in the 22nd Century"
In the 22nd century, everyone and data are linked and given something like a common account naturally. Since all information comes from that account, the true meaning of "anonymity" has long been lost in the 22nd century.
In addition, as games begin to focus on VR, problems in real life are more likely to occur, so usually gaming companies create bulletin boards and provide them in-game as well. .
Since the host is always in operation, it is easy to deal with issues quickly, and players also use bulletin boards hosted by operators as they will announce events.
By default, the player name will be displayed as you write, but it is also possible to set only the bulletin board to privacy mode and display it as [UNKNOWN].
