“Adventurers from another world?” The princess frowned slightly, “Aren’t most of you adventurers only at the zero stage? What use could you be?”

“There’s definitely a use. Our biggest trait as adventurers is our numbers, and we are not afraid to die,” Su Yu said with a smile, holding his tea cup.

“You should know the kind of fighting power a person can display when they are not afraid to risk their life, and I can find at least 1000 such people for you!”

The princess was astonished, “1000? True, suicide troops who are not afraid of dying can exhibit a tremendous fighting power. But, wouldn’t recruiting these troops require a lot of money? Right now, the Imperial Capital is in a tough financial spot… may not be able to afford such a recruitment…”

The princess was seeing the problem from the perspective of the native residents; she didn’t know that the players could be easily won over with minor favors.

Setting down his tea cup on the table and standing up, Su Yu bowed slightly to the princess:

“No money, no problem; I’ll cover all the costs of recruiting this batch of troops. You won’t have to bear any expense! Of course, there’s one prerequisite.”

“Prerequisite?”

“The prerequisite is that you have to trust me, and entrust this task to me,” Su Yu solemnly said.

‘ The princess didn’t respond and fell into deep thought.

To recruit adventurers from another world, she could understand as Nemesis’s personal affection to his own kind.

But now, she doesn’t even need to pay the expenses?

What are they trying to do? Work for free?

What is Nemesis trying to achieve?

Unable to decide, the princess looked at the blue-and-white kitten in her arms.

The kitten, understanding their conversation, nodded at the princess.

Seeing the kitten nod, the princess seemingly found some solace, “Alright Nemesis, I entrust this task to you. I hope you can provide me with a satisfactory reply. ”

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Su Yu responded respectfully.

“Ding! You’ve earned trust from [Princess Alyssa]. Congratulations on obtaining the princess’s [Task Proxy Release Authority].”

[Task Proxy Release Authority]: You can release tasks on behalf of this NPC. If players complete tasks, you will receive 1% of the task reward Experience Points and spiritual energy coins as compensation. (The prerequisite is that the task you released must be permitted by the NPC.)

“I didn’t expect to obtain this so easily!” Su Yu corners of the mouth lifted with a smile.

People used to have a thought that tasks are released by NPC in a game, and they only need to take up tasks and receive rewards to reach their goal.

“Evolution” is different.

This is an unusual game, where anything could happen.

Even a player could release tasks on behalf of the NPC to other players in the game!

This hidden function was only discovered by the players on the fifth expansion of this game.

However, when it was first found out, this function didn’t cause any sensation.

Gaining the trust of an NPC is challenging, and the reward limit varies for each NPC. Using a common NPC on the street for task-releasing wouldn’t bring too much benefit, considering the proxy task-releasing player can only get 1% of the reward.

But someone like [Princess Alyssa], a top-tier NPC, is different!

The princess can release large-scale tasks that involve thousands of participants. Only by proxy releasing such tasks and leveraging a large population base could players reap satisfying rewards.

“Your Highness, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll take my leave now. I’ll escort you personally to Maple City a week from today!” Su Yu said while bidding farewell to the princess with a smile.

“Thank you for your efforts,” The princess stood up and said, “Keerderon, escort Nemesis out.”

“Yes, ma’am!” Keerderon, who was standing by the side, immediately kneeled to take the order.

After Nemesis left,

The princess sat back in her seat and looked at the blue-and-white kitten in her arms, “Morning star, do you know why Nemesis wanted to do this? I don’t understand at all.”

“I don’t get it either,” A soft and melodious female voice came from the kitten, “But I can tell you that he does not harbor any ill intentions towards you. And even if he did, a level-one mage could hardly stir up a storm.”

“Let’s hope so,” the princess said.

She looked in the direction Su Yu had gone staring blankly.

The blue-and-white kitten named Morning Star was also staring in the same direction. A hint of curiosity sparkled in its eyes.

What an interesting human being!

After leaving the Royal Palace and walking along the street outside, Su Yu opened the task panel.

There was a new [Task Proxy Release] module in the task panel.

He clicked in and saw that the only task he could currently release on behalf of the princess was [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon].

“Giant Wood Canyon” is the dangerous place where the princess encounters trouble on her way to Maple City.

In the overall storyline, the rebel leader, Duke Anzu Seifer, agrees to negotiate with the princess in Maple City, but not every rebel agrees. The faction led by Duke Landilus disagrees.

So, Landilus sent his men disguised as bandits to attack the group the princess was with, trying to stop the negotiation.

The ambush site was Giant Wood Canyon. Hence, the origins of the task [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon].

Su Yu looked over the task details.

The [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon] task could be participated by up to 1000 players.

Upon task completion, each player would be rewarded: 1000 Experience Points, 30 spiritual energy coins, and a random piece of level 10 green equipment suitable for their profession.

This task, which lasts for nearly half an hour, offers pretty generous rewards.

Next to task rewards, there is “+” and “-” button. Thanks to his partial NPC authority, Su Yu now can increase or decrease one component of the reward. However, to prevent illegal activities, the total reward value must remain unchanged.

For instance, he could remove the reward of “level 10 green equipment”, and the Experience Points reward would rise to 2000 points, and the spiritual energy coin reward would increase to 60 coins.

Su Yu had promised the princess that he would foot the entire cost of the battle. If these are the decided task rewards, then the spiritual energy coins would have to be borne by him alone.

Naturally, Su Yu was not that generous.

Clicking the “-” next to the spiritual energy coins, he sharply reduced the spiritual energy coin reward to its lowest—lo coins.

With the decrease in spiritual energy coin rewards, since the total reward value must remain constant, the Experience Points reward was raised once again.

Eventually, the task reward for [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon] became: 3000 Experience Points, 10 spiritual energy coins.

That is to say, if Su Yu could recruit 1000 players to complete the task, he could receive a 1% reward or 30,000 Experience Points, which would suffice for him to level up!

As for the 9900 spiritual energy coins lost in releasing the task, for someone as extravagantly rich as Su Yu, it’s a piece of cake!

“I’ll settle the task this way first, just hope everyone can level up fast. If we can’t get 1000 people by the tomorrow’s task, the loss will be huge.”

“No, I must do some propaganda work to stimulate the players’ enthusiasm for leveling up.”

Thinking of this, Su Yu headed towards the [Spider Cavern]—a level 15 instance, just outside of Goldfinch City.

He planned on being the first to clear another instance and then announce the task to all the players using a “megaphone”..
