My Players Are So Fierce

The “Civilian Protection Officer” system among the players is a special occupation derived from Lord Kuder’s unique power.

Its power system is taken from some of the generic skills in Kuder’s classical Grail Knight career path, but on the administrative level, it is given the duty of “maintaining order and ensuring the safety of the land,” serving as the armed police uncle in Sir Morphy’s rule over the lands of Transylvania.

Of course, the transition from Civilian Protection Officer to this system is just a special product under special circumstances.

As per the plan of the Crimson Regent, once Transylvania’s administrative forces are further stabilized, there will be a specialized police department that will take over the overly complex responsibilities of the Civilian Protection Officers, although Sir Morphy and Triss do think this setup could be preserved.

Having an official Camp of Order patrol officer identity as a distinctive profession in the game is indeed a very cool thing.

And it’s absolutely suitable for those heroes of the orderly camp.

However, currently, due to the stringent conditions for transitioning to Civilian Protection Officers, one needs to grind reputation with Kuder and also have every faction in Transylvania respect them or above; this demanding requirement means there won’t be too many players under this occupational tree.

Out of the appointed 45 Civilian Protection Officers, more than two-thirds are former Witch Hunters, with only a very few being players.

Among them, the most famous five are naturally Brother Cat and his four brothers, who all have the Civilian Protection Officer secondary profession and are seen as apprentices and escorts to Lord Kuder.

However, apart from them, the backgrounds of other Civilian Protection Officer players are a bit “subtle.”

For example, the “Black Cat Sheriff” currently putting Broken Sword Master, guilty of “seduction” and “gossip,” and Hundred forging big horse into the enforcement carriage, along with his best bud “One-Ear,” although independent players in the game, are rumored to be quite close with Loyal Brother and his crew.

Another example is the game’s only female Civilian Protection Officer, “Stepping on Snow in Search of Plum,” who is Master Yang’s wife and Pantless Demon’s mother, Lady Mei.

She has been a police officer for many years in reality, with a wealth of experience, and relishes the feeling of being back on the job in the game, walking quite smoothly down the Civilian Protection Officer career path, especially after serving as an “auxiliary” for the Silver Moon Pride Team in the Swamp War, Lady Mei, now affectionately called by the girls, has easily passed the Black Iron trial.

Lady Mei’s rise to prominence under Lord Kuder’s attention is hot on the heels of Brother Cat’s group of five, causing Roar of the Lion in Hedong and the other “seniors” to feel great pressure.

“Oh crap, could this leave a criminal record?”

Seated on the enforcement carriage and hooded, Broken Sword Master is panicking as he says:

“We are honest business folks, we have work tomorrow, officers, please be merciful!”

“Hey, come on, we’re playing a game here, don’t be nervous.

Holy moly, why are you shaking?”

The Black Cat Sheriff across from them is startled.

Realizing his joke had gone too far, he quickly reached out to take off the hoods of the two blacksmiths, apologizing awkwardly:

“Ah, actually, there’s nothing serious tonight, we’re just passing by.

Right now, we’re not taking you to be punished.

It’s because Lord Kuder, who’s currently overseeing Civilian Protection Officer affairs, wishes to have a dedicated weapons system designed for us officers, which is why you’re invited to discuss this.

Furthermore, Lord Kuder’s precious granddaughter Miss Biqi said she could pull out some equipment from the Eleville Family workshop to support your smithy.

So it’s good news, don’t be afraid.”

“Damn it, you should have said so earlier!

Jerks.”

Hundred forging big horse, frightened for a moment, finally relaxes as he retorts:

“In the early years when my brother and I started our company, we were maliciously reported by competitors and almost got thrown in jail for making restricted knives, but we had permits, so we were released without charges in the end.

That experience left us with a severe psychological shadow.

You two jerks, don’t mess around like that!”

“We’re sorry, we apologize.”

Black Cat Sheriff and One-Ear exchange glances and promptly back down.

However, tonight’s conversation with Lord Kuder went surprisingly smoothly, especially since the design ideas for police weapons proposed by Broken Sword Master greatly pleased the Civilian Protection Officer, who placed a very generous order with the smithy, earning them a handsome profit.

On the way back to the smithy escorted by Lord Kuder’s men, Broken Sword Master calculated profits while telling his brother:

“New folks are joining the game tomorrow, including two fellow craftsmen I invited who specialize in making polearms and armors, big names in the field and a perfect complement to us.

I have to go to the property management office to move some rice, flour, and oil tomorrow morning, so I won’t be able to log in.

You can take care of greeting them for me.”

“Oh, sure.”

Hundred forging big horse nods and chats with his brother about improving the Spirit energy alloy and the spike in orders for the “Improved Yan Mo Blade” they experienced today.

Apparently, witnessing Sir Morphy single-handedly taking down forty people with that blade, not only players but also many local NPCs are flocking to them to buy a weapon just like the one Sir Morphy wielded.

It just goes to show that the model of “live streaming with product promotion” is truly amazing; once you find the right approach, the profits just keep rolling in.

The next day comes quickly, and the festivity at Crimson Castle doesn’t die down at all, mainly because today there’s a “Liquor Tasting Festival” hosted by Pink Kitty Bunny’s “Pride of the Silvermoon” village, attracting a substantial number of local drunkards to heat up the atmosphere.
