My Players Are So Fierce

1092: 370.

When everyone suddenly started wanting a wife…

Wumeioge was jealous to the point of madness, but the Happy Stick himself was utterly confused.

Although he had been informed to observe for seven days, Administrator Alpha had told him that the development team was discussing how to deal with the NPC Melia Corando and her related quest chain, Stick Brother had truly not expected the dev team, those crazies, to actually keep this blind Wolf Poison sister.

What’s most important is, they even kept the bloodline pact between him and her.

Though Happy Stick didn’t know what it really felt like to gain a Blood Descendant after the First Embrace, his presently jumbled mind was ninety or even one hundred percent certain!

He must be the first Vampire Player in the game to complete the “Descendant’s First Embrace” achievement.

The reaction on the character interface seemed delayed, vibrating only after Wumeioge’s third bark, presenting the truth of the moment before him:

[Test Quest: ‘A Scientific and Unscientific Discussion on Vampire Reproduction Methods’ has been triggered!

Objective: Due to interference from certain special powers, the strange bond accidentally formed between you and Melia Corando was preserved.

As a result of your unique life form, this incomplete ‘First Embrace’ is unprecedented in the history of the Blood race, not even the most erudite Grand Duke of Cui Si can give a definitive judgment, but one thing is certain, the relationship between Melia Corando and you can no longer be viewed from any normal perspective.

Therefore, Sir Morphy has decided to wait and see what happens.

But as a member of the Blood Vulture Clan, you, the newly knighted family Knight have an obligation to document any interactions and possible ‘after-effects,’ whether they exist or not, between you and your strange Descendant.

In case of special circumstances with Melia Corando, please report immediately to Governor Murphy or the Grand Duke of Cui Si.

Objective: Maintain the ‘special relationship’ with Melia Corando and observe, submitting observation reports regularly until the relationship is fully deciphered.

Quest Duration: ∞.

Quest Reward: Perfect completion of testing the ‘Blood Pact’ gameplay and implementation of the entire set of gameplay mechanics.

Development Team Tips!

As the Blood Pact game mechanic is far from perfect, there is a certain chance of encountering special situations during quest progression that are currently inexplicable by the game mechanics (referring to undiscovered hidden BUGS), thus placing stringent demands on the tester’s operation and psychological quality.

Advancing this quest may disrupt the tester’s normal game experience, therefore, the development team has reserved the option to terminate the quest progress at any time for the tester.

If you find the pressure too great and confirm you are unwilling to take on any further responsibilities associated with the special NPC Melia Corando, you may submit a request to Governor Murphy to terminate the contract.

Development Team Tips!

As your bloodline pact with Melia Corando is incomplete, the two of you cannot maintain a normal symbiotic relationship.

At the current intimacy level, you can force Melia to fight for you, assist or complete assigned tasks, but you cannot force her to engage in interactions beyond the current level of intimacy.

Your current intimacy level with Melia Corando is ‘Unfamiliar Stranger,’ and the types of interactions available are: Weak Commands, Combat Assistance, and Ongoing Duties.

Since the intimacy is at a minimum, some commands that conflict with Melia Corando’s own values will be rejected.

For more information about interactions with Servants, please explore on your own and submit an observation form once a week.

Development Team Tips!

Part of the connectivity contract in the bloodline pact has been retained; your Life Force limit increases by 10%, and your self-healing, energy recovery, and Spiritual Energy replenishment rate Growth by 10%.

Part of the command contract in the bloodline pact has been retained, and you can fully trust Melia Corando.

Part of the death contract in the bloodline pact has been retained; when Melia Corando dies permanently, you will immediately suffer 50% Life damage and permanently lose 30% of your Life Force limit.

Development Team Tips!

Since you received a part of Melia Corando’s strength feedback during the forming of the bloodline pact, your Agility+1, Endurance+1, Perception+1.

You have acquired a new Talent ‘Wolf Bat Toughness’: Life recovery speed increased by 20%, resistance to various negative states improved.]

“Damn!”

This long string of quest explanations and tips made Happy Stick realize he might have snagged an “arduous task” unimaginable to other players, and the combat power boost from the three pacts and the Talent and strength feedback from the First Embrace made him aware that his combat ability had increased by at least a fifth in an instant.

Not to mention, he now had Melia Corando, the “special summoned creature” as backup in battle, essentially gaining a formidable helper out of thin air.

In other words, the dev team wasn’t joking; this “First Embrace” gameplay probably wasn’t supposed to be a high-level feature to be released at this stage, and his and Wumeioge’s bug adventure had earned him the duties of a Tester.

Filling out an observation form every week and exploring the various effects of the Blood Pact sounded tedious, but when he looked up at the respectfully present Melia, a sense of “achievement” surged in Happy Stick’s heart.
