Act 1: Broken Heart Chapter 39: The Establishment of the Wings of the Wind God [↑]
After listening to Morpheus's words, Resa suddenly realized that with her understanding of the wilderness, she must be of great help to the exploration team formed by the Guardians!
However, Ressa shook her head, "I'm sorry, Master Morpheus, but I'm not going to join the Guardians, and I'm more inclined to move freely than the benefits of the Guardians. ”
"That's it! That's a bit of a trick! Morpheus had a look of pity on his face, for he knew that ordinary explorers with outstanding abilities would not want to join a force with a semi-official background like the Guardians.
Because in their opinion, the benefits of the guardian are at their fingertips, as long as they kill a mid-level earth beast, the benefits they get can exceed the income of the guardian for a few months or even a year, of course, the guardian here refers to the ordinary guardian at the bottom, like the ordinary explorer like Slen Dinn in the frost node before.
"What if it doesn't restrict your freedom? You only need to follow the team when you go out on a mission, and everything is still the same, how about that? Morpheus pondered for a moment, then offered his new terms.
Ressa shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Although Lord Morpheus does not restrict my freedom, when will the mission be released?" We can't say for sure! So, I still need to be on call at all times, don't I? Moreover, the distribution of the loot obtained by our squad is also a problem. ”
"I didn't think it through." Morpheus was slightly stunned, if it was really the team going out, then the loot would basically have to be handed over. This is indeed unfair to Ressa.
"It doesn't have to be me, does it? There must be a lot of Guardians who were formerly Explorers, right? Resa asked with some curiosity.
"There's nothing wrong with saying that, but .................." Morpheus sighed: "Alas~~~ Comfort is the sharpest weapon of the will to die, maybe you don't know, this time I led the team to rescue the frost node, and when I went, it was a team of thousands, eighty percent of these thousand people were well-equipped mechanics, and the other two percent were supernatural people above the bronze guardian, but you know what? After a few hours of fighting, we lost more than 800 people, more than 800 people! They are all elites who can defeat a hundred with one enemy, but in front of earth beasts and human beasts, they are as brittle as a piece of paper.................."
Resa was silent, and he also had a general understanding of the situation of the frost node, so he could only say that such an elite should not have so many casualties, no need for eight hundred mechanics, as long as four hundred mechanics cooperated to set up positions, not to mention ensuring that there was no damage, but there would definitely not be such a large casualty.
"When they get used to fighting people, they tend to ignore the difference between beasts and humans, which is the main cause of casualties. They don't even know as much about the wilderness as a rookie explorer. Morpheus got up: "So! I hope Ressa you can help us. At the very least, you have your family here, it's safer here, and your family is safer. ”
There was a hint of hesitation on Ressa's face, he really didn't want to join the Guardians, so what would he use to support the family in the future, and what would he use to earn money for himself and his sister's medicine? But Morpheus's words touched him again.
Not to mention the nearly 1,000 guardians, just to rescue some of the same kind that have nothing to do with them, and finally die in battle, or even die without a full body, if one day, the frost node is broken, and they just happen to be not in the node, then can the sisters and they escape like this time?
Just when Resa was struggling, an old voice sounded in the room: "If you are willing to join the Guardians, I can set up an exploration team, and you will be responsible for tactical guidance and serve as the captain, and the material nodes obtained from the exploration will be purchased according to the normal value, and the acquisition proceeds will belong to you, as for the other members of the team, including you, you can get a guardian treatment that has been raised by one level if your contribution reaches a certain standard." ”
Hearing this, the three of them looked at the door of the room, where an old man walked in with a smile on his face.
"Old man, why are you here?" Morpheus hurriedly turned out from behind the table, Icarus and Resa also stood up, Morpheus helped the old man to the main seat, and Icarus on the side also stood respectfully aside, leaning slightly, it seems that the identity of the old man is not simple.
Ressa stood aside and bowed to the old man, who was happy when he saw it: "There are not many young people who are so polite now. Sit down, good boy! Sit down too. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became a little strange, the old man sat on the main seat, and Morpheus, Icarus, and Resa sat opposite him, looking like the teacher was admonishing the naughty student.
Seeing the restrained appearance of the three people opposite, the old man smiled: "Contemptible Long Qianfeng, the controller of the frost falling node, is loved by the younger generations and called Long Lao, you can also call me that!" Long Qianfeng showed a kind and kind smile on his face, and the wrinkles were not ordinary.
He looked at Ressa: "The young man is good, he became a Bauhinia-level explorer at a young age, and he is also very polite. Nowadays, there are very few young people who are so powerful and polite. What do you think? Consider what I just proposed! ”
Ressa's color turned up, the old man in front of him who looked like an ordinary person was actually the controller of the Frostfall Node, and his strength should be a very terrifying existence, Ressa thought for a while: "Elder Long, you said that I am only in charge of a team, I don't know how we go out on a mission?" And what is the size of the squad? ”
Long Lao smiled: "Actually, it's very simple, after this team is formed, they will no longer receive guardian tasks, when you go to the wilderness, just take them with you, and they will obey your command." Of course, if your squad pays more than 50,000 exploration points to the Alliance in a calendar month, your salary for that month will be rewarded one level higher than your current Guardian level, plus two levels above 100,000. Of course, the exploration value of these exchanges still belongs to you, and as for whether you want to share it with your teammates, it is up to you. ”
"Elder Long, I don't understand, what is the benefit of doing this for the Guardians." Resa was not deceived by this kind of almost free benefit, but calmly asked her own question.
A hint of approval flashed in Long Lao's eyes: "Of course, your tasks are more than these, my requirements are only that your team must hand in no less than 10,000 exploration points every month, you need to turn on the holographic combat simulation device, and when you come back, you need to popularize the dangers and precautions encountered in this outing to all guardians." That's all! ”
After Long Lao finished speaking, he quietly waited for Ressa's reply, and Resa thought about it, although the conditions given by Long Lao were very lenient, but Resa knew that if he accepted it, his life would also be disturbed to a certain extent.
Long Lao took a sip of tea and turned his head to look at Morpheus and Icarus: "Xiao Mo, Xiao Yi, you go and bring all the Bauhinia level guardians here, I have something to announce." ”
"Yes, Old Man Long," Morpheus and Icarus saluted, and walked outside.
Watching the two of them leave the room, Long Lao flicked his fingers, and an invisible fluctuation isolated the entire room, and then he looked at Ressa with a smile: "Now, it's just the two of us, let me talk about my replenishment chips and exchange conditions!" ”
“?” Ressa looked at Long Lao in some surprise, with his strength, although he couldn't feel what Long Lao had done, he could feel that the aura in the room had changed.
"The original conditions remain the same, and my additional condition is that within half a year, you will train everyone in your team to have the strength of Bauhinia Explorer, note that it is an explorer, not a guardian, and I will provide you and your sister with free suppression serum, so that your illness will not flare up."
“!!!” Resa looked at Long Lao in shock, he and his sister needed to suppress the special illness in the body, even people like Ye Mosha and Yan Xin who got along day and night didn't know, how did the old man in front of him know? What ...... the hell he was, for a moment, Ressa's body was tense, and he looked like he was going to explode at any time, even if he wasn't the old man's opponent at all.
"Take it easy!" The old man smiled and waved his hand, and Ressa felt an invisible fluctuation that made him sit back in his chair peacefully: "I can only say that I know your symptoms better than you, this is not a disease, as you get older, this outbreak will become more frequent and intense......
Long Lao looked at Resa with a smile: "It's just that I can't tell you what the reason for this is now, but you just need to remember that I am on your side and will not do anything bad to you, that's fine." ”
"............" Resa looked at Long Lao seriously, wanting to see a hint from his expression, but Long Lao looked at him with a smile on his face, with a calm expression.
"How can I be sure you're not lying to me?" It took a long time for Resa to speak slowly.
"Here is a sample, with the ability that you can extract medicinal powder from the purple snake fruit, whether it is true or not, you can know at a glance." Long Lao smiled and put down a small powder blue reagent on the table: "This is taken once every half a month, so that you will not be counterattacked." ”
Ressa's attention was on the reagent, but he didn't pay attention to the meaning revealed in the dragon's old words!
"Alright, put it away! Those two boys are coming back soon, too. With a flick of Long Lao's fingers, the blockade of this room disappeared: "Remember, this is our secret!" Long Lao smiled and winked at Ressa, who gave Long Lao a deep look, and then received the reagent into the storage compartment of his personal terminal.
There was a knock on the door, Long Lao waved his hand lightly, and the door opened, at the door, in addition to Morpheus and Icarus, there were more than twenty men and women of all kinds behind them, according to Long Lao's orders, these should be Bauhinia-level guardians, and they will be trained to become Bauhinia-level explorers within half a year, which is estimated to be tight.
The days of leisure are over.
Ressa sighed, and then he realized that the woman named Natasha was also in the crowd, winking at him when she saw her.
As for others, there are those who look at themselves curiously, some frown, and even those who show disdain on their faces, Ressa sighed, it seems that he is still a long way from becoming a captain who really has the right to speak!
