Chapter 435: Total War (12.5 Day Chapter)
Link takes a helicopter back to Roaring Castle.
The soldiers on the helicopter saw the smile on Link's lips, but they didn't know why the general was smiling, and they didn't dare to ask.
Link, on the other hand, was very satisfied with the gift he gave to the Banshee King.
When the things on the front line are almost dealt with, it's time to revisit the old place and have a showdown with Grace.
Back at the castle, Link was in a great mood.
Seeing this, the macaw's eyes bent into crescents, and poked Link with a smile: "Smiling so happily, is the thing very successful?" ”
The macaw was also involved in this matter, so Link did not hide it, and said bluntly: "It is very smooth, and when the front-line war is settled, I will take you to revisit the old place and see the new quagmire of death." ”
The macaw was so frightened that he shook his whole body, his head shook like a rattle, and he hurriedly refused: "Forget it, I don't want to go to that place a second time." You think I don't know what you think, and after you go, you will definitely not only look for the Harpy, but also go to the underground base for a second time, and maybe bring back something strange when the time comes. ”
Link looked at the macaw with admiration: "I didn't expect you to understand it so thoroughly?" ”
The macaw snorted lightly, crossed its wings and raised its head: "That can't be?" ”
Then the macaw said, "I've already caught the primary aberration, have you thought about how to deal with it?" ”
Although it has been put in a cage, the macaw still has palpitations when it passes by, and this guy is not at ease for a day when it exists.
"Just leave it there first, and see how it lives without a mouth and nose and can't eat."
Link returns to his office, and soon receives an email from the Link Mansion on his computer, from Director Bonney, about the Monster Security Company's Gobi Oasis Survival Expedition.
Link opened the document, looked at the discussion design of the think tank, and finally praised it.
For example, it is stipulated that each alien is allowed to carry only one hot weapon and 100 rounds of ammunition, and there is no restriction on cold weapons.
The entry time is also stipulated, there are four options: three hours, six hours, twelve hours and twenty-four hours, each option has a different price, and if you can't come back at the scheduled time, all the loot in the Gobi Oasis will be invalidated, eliminating the possibility of players escaping after entering.
Moreover, a picket mechanism has been established, and if a team comes, a point deduction will be deducted for the whole team to sit together. If it is a single person who enters, the subsequent credit system in Shadu will be affected after the points are deducted. The various industries of the Lin Consortium in Shadu City, Shenmu City and the Military Intelligence Department, all have the right to refuse entry to each other.
The strict credit system prevents players from stealing and stealing wool. The price paid for playing tricks on this is definitely higher than the profit gained.
As for the price, three hours is three thousand waste coins, six hours five thousand, twelve hours ten thousand, twenty-four hours ten thousand fifteen.
Link saw the psychology and game theory contained in this price at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: it is worthy of a dark blue quality pet, with the ideal of creating a money empire. It's just that the knowledge contained in this price is enough to study it well.
The first is three hours and three thousand waste land coins, which is nothing to say, it is to set up a criterion first, and it is also to let players have a clear understanding of the value of time in the Gobi Oasis - converted into one hour and one thousand waste land coins!
Immediately after that, five thousand wasteland coins in six hours, three hours more, but the price is only two thousand more expensive, giving players the feeling that what they buy is what they earn. So three hours and six hours are placed in front of the player at the same time, and the player will definitely prefer six hours, even if they don't stay for six hours in the end, five hours is not a loss.
The second is 10,000 yuan in 12 hours, which is different from the previous one, and the average price is the same as that of six hours, so it does not reflect the advantage. But compared to 24 hours, the price has doubled, but the price has only increased by 50%, which is very affordable in comparison.
Even if you don't stay for 24 hours, you can still pay back if you stay for 16 or 7 hours.
When these four prices are put out, they have invisibly carried out a round of PUA on the players, allowing them to make their own value judgments, thus affecting the results of the brain's choice.
Six-hour and 24-hour projects are worth it, but most people don't get stuck on their watches and consume all of them, and the time to leave early is the source of extra profits.
There are also tables and sector charts in the report, which have been analyzed and calculated by actuaries to show that these four options can generate more than 20% of the additional benefits.
Professional things are handed over to professional people, and business-related things are handled by Penguin Purney, which is right.
After reading it, Link immediately wrote down the reply: approved.
In terms of time, there is not much time left for Shadu.
Since the appearance of the Wolf Cavalry, the activities of the Mechanics and the Wasteland Gang in the desert have decreased considerably.
This wasn't good news for Link, as the Mechanics and the Wasteland Gang were gathering strength to make a big splash in the coming years.
After approving the plan prepared by Penguin Penny overnight, the follow-up publicity work of the Gobi Oasis will continue to be handed over to Penny and the media department, and what Link has to do now is to sit back and wait for the player to take the initiative to hand over the money to him, and then use more tasks to make up for the shortfall in money.
After dealing with the work, Link also surfed the Internet for a while, taking a look at the recent hot events in Saudi Arabia and the Free Federation.
Nothing major happened to the sand, and a glance at the recent events was related to the player.
conflicts between the player base and the Uptown elites;
The mass appearance of players deprives the aborigines of job opportunities;
The wolf cavalry entered the city, causing many people to be frightened and other news.
As for the liberal federation, there have also been some inspiring editorial articles published in the past two days.
Dragon City is preparing for the beast tide after the New Year, and Faye's attention is always on the dark forest in the east. In this environment, the new commander of Shadu took office, and he had to start a war with the Cult of the Mechanicus and the Wasteland Gang, and Shadu's own people did not panic, but all kinds of gossip about Dragon City and Faye were flying all over the sky, as if the Free Federation was going to disintegrate tomorrow.
After reading the message, Link closed the web page.
Wasteland is now in a stalemate, and the Free Federation is facing a lot of problems.
"It seems that it is still up to me to break the game." Link muttered that he would only wait for the Gale Desert to be conquered next year, and the desert would be re-incorporated into the territory, and the ruins, towns, and underground resources in the desert would bring various economic benefits to the desert.
At the level of the Free Federation, Shadu has solved his worries, and he will have time to free up his hands to help Dragon City and Faye solve the difficulties, and the entire Wasteland pattern will usher in great changes at that time.
Link got up and walked to the balcony, feeling the fresh air.
Looking into the distance, the Gobi Oasis "paddock" of dozens of kilometers in the distance, hundreds of thousands of animals live in it, the oasis flowing water, the Gobi Desert, the hills and artificial stone peaks, all kinds of terrain are available.
If the aborigines in Shadu are mobilized to build, a man-made landscape of this scale will definitely not be built in three or five years.
But Link has hundreds of thousands of player resources in his hands, and in the player's day and night struggle, it only took less than a week for the gray and bare Gobi to change.
These beasts will become the player's experience, helping them to improve their strength and play their part.
In the process of hunting, the player will artificially carry out the survival of the fittest, select stronger and more agile animals, accept Link's "creator" style synthesis, and become a powerful member of Link's beast army.
Link was standing on the balcony when he suddenly heard a creaking sound from the garden lawn below.
When I looked closely, there were no pets on the lawn and no animals were seen.
Squeak squeak~
The voice sounded again, and Link followed the sound search, and finally saw a cobalt beetle with a silvery metallic sheen on its back at the mouth of the crypt.
The cobalt beetle that was last cast for exploration has returned?
Link jumped straight down from the balcony on the second floor and reached out to pick up the cobalt beetle in his hand, and at the same time, the cobalt beetle's body pushed an irregular ball with a slight metallic sheen that was completely different from the color of the land next to it.
This insect creature communicates directly, but Link now has the talent of [Swarm Commander], and immediately a darkness appeared in his mind, and in the darkness there were "stars", and each bright spot represented a synthetic creature of Link.
And where Link is, the stars are as bright as the Milky Way, and countless pets exude their own light.
In the darkness, there was a place where dozens of faint lights were scattered and formed, forming a large spot of light.
Link frowned, then looked down into the crypt and found no other cobalt beetles.
Then he picked up the metal ball and looked at it, and the system showed that it was cobalt metal.
Link's eyes lit up, and he finally understood why only one cobalt beetle had returned.
Looking at the shiny cobalt metal in his hand, Link's eyes flickered, and the "Impact Power Boot" under his feet was activated, and he jumped back to the balcony on the second floor, and came to the study non-stop, groping on the map of Shadu on the wall, looking for the map location corresponding to a few bright spots.
Link's perceptual range is 14.5 kilometers, and with this perceptual range as a boundary, Link begins to look for a location in the same direction and angle on the map, and the pen in his hand gradually wanders, and finally stops at a location.
"That's it, yes."
Link planted a small red flag at the coordinates.
If you look at the map of the entire Shadu frontline, you can find the place where Link planted the flag, which is located between Shenmu City and the Grand Canal of Gauria. The distance to reach both sides is almost the same.
And this place has a special mark on the map, located to the west of the Gale Desert, is a half-exposed, many red spikes arched red stone mountain, because the shape resembles the backbone of the mythical creature dragon, so there is also a domineering name - Red Dragon Spine.
The Red Dragon's Spine is deserted, as the spiked stones form a vast valley with a labyrinth inside.
Many animals strayed into it, and they couldn't get out, and after a few months, they could only turn into white bones.
There is only one animal that can call the Red Dragon's Back home, and that is the vulture.
Vultures build nests on ridges, go out to hunt, and also feed on small animals that have strayed into the valley.
The sharp and curved stone body, as well as the sharp-eyed vulture squatting on the tip of the stone, are the epitome of the entire red dragon's back.
Link played with the cobalt iron ball in his hand, staring at the map and pondering, and memories of the past gushed out.
Red Dragon's Spine is not famous for its cobalt iron ore, in the 2.0 [Type 1 Contact] version, the alien demons opened four space-time portals to conquer the wasteland, and the demon soldiers continued to appear from the portals to the wasteland and set up camps. Red Ridge Mountain happens to be the location of one of the teleportation camps, Demon Casting Camp: Heavenly Punishment.
In this way, many of the cold weapons that emitted green radioactivity in the hands of the demon soldiers at that time were made from the abundant cobalt iron ore at the foot of the Red Ridge Mountain.
Also because of the demons' wanton conquest, the three novice planets are facing the same threat, and the observers of the Vatican galaxy [First Order] discovered this situation and sent reinforcements to support, so that players caught up with the plot of cosmic rays, and also tied to the theme of version 2.0 - the first type of contact.
"It's kind of interesting."
The corners of Link's mouth lifted slightly.
If the location was here, he had a little more plan in his head.
This cobalt iron ore will not only be used against the Mechanics and the Wasteland Gang, but even the alien demons will have to be counted in.
Link sat down and immediately dialed MI.
Ren Yi, the deputy director of the Office of the Military Intelligence Department, was asleep with his legs on the table at the moment, his hat buttoned on his face.
The phone rang suddenly, making Ren Yi tremble, and his hat fell directly to the ground.
Seeing the exclusive phone number in a daze, Ren Yi's sleepy insect suddenly woke up.
"General, this is the Office of the Military Intelligence Department, may I ask you for any instructions!"
"At the Red Dragon Ridge in the Gale Desert coordinates (232,093,723), a large amount of cobalt iron ore was found underground. Cobalt iron ore, as an important resource for new energy in Shadu, will play an extremely important role in the war. I now order you to immediately draw up a task and arrange for the Inhumans to go to the Red Dragon's Back to build fortifications and underground reinforcement measures to ensure that the excavation of the cobalt iron ore is carried out in a safe and orderly manner. ”
After Ren Yi heard the news, his head suddenly buzzed.
Red dragon ridge, cobalt iron ore, new energy, a few important words flashed in my mind.
He realized that the turning point of the war might be coming.
Ren Yi opened the computer map for the first time and locked the location of the Red Dragon Spine with the coordinate output.
To the west of the Gale Desert, the location is unbiased, right between the Valley of the Weeping and the Grand Canal of Gauria......
Grunt!
Ren Yi swallowed his saliva: "General, this location is just between the Weeping Valley and the Grand Canal of Gauria, and it is still in the enemy's sphere of influence, if we send Inhumans to build fortifications, it will definitely attract the attention of the enemy's patrols and be attacked by the enemy." ”
"That's right, so it's a tough task, you know what to do, right?"
Although Link did not make a clear statement, Ren Yi understood that this was a dead order.
Straighten his waist, his eyes are bright, and he said with confidence: "Resolutely complete the task!" ”
Hanging up the phone, Ren Yi looked at the red dragon's spine like a giant dragon's bones.
This place, in the ensuing battle between the two sides, will be the only focal point.
And the all-out war with the Mechanics and the Wasteland Gang is about to begin!
