Chapter 369 Missed Sign-in
For countless times when dusk came, the sickly sun was burning behind the red clouds.

The first expeditionary force did not go to Star Dragon City, which would have delayed it for a long time.

They simply set up camp outside the Holy Water Town to rest.

The logistics chef threw the dry food and beans that were difficult to distinguish into different things into the pot, covered it with a lid and simmered it until it became thick.

The aroma whetted the appetite of the soldiers on the road.

Every time this time comes, all the undead people will disappear offline collectively. Instead of eating sticky beans in the game, it is better to go offline and order takeout, or eat a pack of instant noodles.

The entire marching team was not as grand as imagined. Most of the time, there were only logistics soldiers hurrying on their way, and the undead appeared sporadically.

They will disappear in large numbers during breaks.

You can rest in place in the game, and in real life you must take off your helmet and get up to stretch your muscles.

The undead "big one" is a studio-type player. In order to maintain sufficient physical strength, the expeditionary force does not travel very fast. Ordinary people may be able to tolerate it and just travel a little bit every day, or brush up the favorability of the accompanying NPC, and occasionally play games such as arm wrestling.

The expeditionary force has been quite lively, as if some undead had become "bards", as if they were music teachers in real life, so they directly formed a small band and performed on tour with homemade folk instruments, which always received a lot of applause.

NPCs can distinguish between good and bad music. Not everyone's performance will receive applause. Moreover, they will be remembered by NPCs after the performance and will be praised when they meet occasionally.

It is this sense of immersion in the real world that makes people unable to extricate themselves. The game is so realistic that it is difficult to distinguish whether it is virtual or real.

But for players who are eager to develop benefits, wasted time is money.

There is no need to complete all the side quests; their goal is to quickly run through the main quest and then find the profitable part of the game.

"Let's search the surroundings. We know the direction anyway, so we can just follow the road and catch up with the team when the time comes." said the eldest one.

His words were immediately recognized by several of his fellow undead. Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to go out and kill monsters or take on quests.

However, they were stopped while taking action.

"You want to be a deserter?"

"Hey, buddy, let's just go northeast." La Ge pointed to the distance.

Just as the soldier was about to say something, the Crystal Mage who happened to be passing by came over and heard the argument: "Let them leave."

"But, mentor... okay." The soldier wanted to say something else, but finally gave way.

"Bye~" Lageda and the others waved their hands and left the team with a smile.

Many undead people saw this scene, but they didn’t take it seriously.

"Where are you from?" asked the Crystal Mage.

"Teacher, I was in Windmill Village before!" the soldier replied.

"The undead will bear the consequences of any choices they make."

"But deserters will affect the momentum, I don't understand."

"I don't understand either." The crystal mage looked towards the tent. Wen didn't understand either, but they could only obey Lind's orders for now.

Before leaving, Lind instructed that they didn't need to worry about what the undead were going to do, they could leave at will, and if there was any act of betrayal, they would be considered enemies, reported, and all their honor and experience points would be cleared.

After a mission is issued, there is no requirement for the undead to complete it.

Lind even gave an example in front of them. If an immortal accepted an emergency rescue mission but delayed it to pick a beehive from a roadside tree, causing the mission to fail, there would be no punishment.

Moreover, Lind also emphasized one point, why the undead should be the main force to participate in the rescue. They are only suitable for subordinate operations.

Never use them as your primary focus to complete a mission, and if you do, be prepared for the mission to fail.

"They are like lawless mercenaries and will not be punished at all!" the soldier was indignant.

"Yes."

The Crystal Mage nodded and said, "But you can remember their faces. There is no need to treat them well."

The soldier nodded: "I will!"

After a few big guys left the expedition team, they deliberately chose an area without signal coverage to explore, and they actually found two elite disasters appearing in the wild.

In two days, I made some extra income and also got a Heart of Disaster. This thing can be directly exchanged for money when posted online. A lot of newbies are waiting to get it.

But when they caught up with the expeditionary force, they found something wrong.

"Why haven't our experience points and military merit increased? Is there a bug?"

The rewards such as experience points that are distributed to the Lion Badge are distributed by default every day, and there is no change at all.

broken!

They immediately found the NPC to ask.

"This is an expeditionary force, an army!" The soldier looked at Lageda and the others with undisguised disgust on his face, "You left the team without permission, why do you still expect to get your salary?"

"I rely on!"

The news that Lageda and others had left the expeditionary force and missed the "check-in" quickly spread to the ears of the immortals in the expeditionary force.

You can do nothing every day but play mini-games and improve NPC favorability, and then you can get 1 combat experience point and 10 exclusive military merits for the Expeditionary Force Store. How cool is that?

Although Lageda and others got the Heart of Disaster, the profit from selling it was far less than the experience points lost. In particular, their unorganized desertion behavior earned them the disgust of all the NPCs of the expedition.

“Following the expeditionary force is actually the main storyline?” He really wanted to swear and complain, but he couldn’t.

Because the main quest of version 1.0 is called [Expedition of the Great Rift]. It’s bad, I gave up the expedition to do the side quest, what a fool I am!
……

After a long journey, the expeditionary force finally arrived at its destination.

It was old and shabby, the door had fallen open, the walls were bent from the wind and rain.

Perhaps a gust of wind could cause the fortress to collapse and turn into complete ruins.

The Crystal Mage and Wen Raven looked at the dilapidated building sentry post with different thoughts in their minds, but they were equally excited.

Everyone lives for the beliefs in his heart and is willing to sacrifice a lot and devote everything to fulfill his beliefs.

The crystal mage, who once regarded fighting the abyss as his life mission, has many feelings when he comes back again.

Although this team is not as good as the Calamity Executioners, they are immortal. Immortality means they can fight indefinitely. Even if they cannot go deep into the deepest part of the abyss, at least they can avoid the overflowing abyss disasters from wandering around.

But before that, they must build an outpost here. Currently, this is the front line and serves as an outpost. When the expeditionary force advances deeper, this place will serve as a transit station.

An important portal responsible for controlling the spread of the Abyss Plague.

This is Morpheus' Gate!
　Wait a minute
