"Store funds plus liquidity, preliminary estimates, may be close to this number."

With that, she raised her index finger and shook it slightly in the air.

One...... Ten thousand???

This point of view is more realistic, but where do you go to get so much money??

Fifty...... Hundred...... two hundred

Lin Song began to count all his assets, leaving aside his equipment and the spare parts of the team, the scattered props and equipment could only add up to the number of five thousand.

That is, there is still almost half of the gap.

Luo Fang watched all this quietly, willing to help, but unable to provide such a huge support, and sighed secretly, it turned out that his foundation was so weak!!

Yes, a thousand gold coins, in such a big scene, is just a drop in the bucket.

However, there is no need to rush too much, because there are very few players who have arrived in the second-level city now, and it will take at least a week to see large-scale players, and as for the main force, it may even take about half a month.

Lin Song knew this very well in his heart, and he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he could only take his time.

……

Flint City, in a certain hall, the furnace is blazing, and there are various forging materials scattered around, dark gold-level, epic-level treasures can be seen everywhere, and a few touches of red are hidden in it, which is a rare legendary-level material.

"What?? You're moving to Bailing City?? ”

An extremely muscular red-haired old man put down the hammer in his hand, his eyes revealing a powerful momentum, and the object of his reprimand was none other than his little apprentice, Tiafik.

Don't look at the usual days, Tiafik is magnificent, even the ordinary fourth order can't make him half impressed, but in front of the red-haired old man, he trembles like a young mouse.

"You are one of the disciples I have carefully cultivated, it's just lazy on weekdays, and when I see it, I'm going to have a big competition with the sect, and I really fall off the chain at this juncture, and I really ??? Huoyun Dao people are clay sculptures."

Immediately afterwards, there was another serious preaching.

To the effect, eat me, use me, learn from me, the wings are stiff, and you want to slip away easily?? No way~~

Tiafik lowered his head and said nothing, don't look at his appearance, he is actually delicate!!

He knew that now was not the time to justify, this was the experience summed up by many senior brothers with blood and tears - absolutely not to interject when the old man was talking.

These words are not really teaching themselves, but venting their inner dissatisfaction and pressure.

There are several senior brothers who have committed big taboos and are still locked up!!

The half-hour-long sermon was the initial test.

Whether it succeeds or not, what needs to be seen is whether the old man will ask the reason in the follow-up, and if he does, as long as the answer is appropriate, the problem should not be big; If you don't ask, it's completely out of the picture.

“……”

Huoyun Daoist rubbed his messy hair, changed his bitter demeanor, and took a sip of fragrant tea under Tiafik's extremely expectant gaze, and closed his eyes without saying a word.

This is...... Refused???

Tiafik was not surprised at all, but he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, straightened his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "I have been taught, it is the disciple who is too reckless, so I will retire first for reflection, please rest for the master, don't be angry!" ”

Bowing his body and making a gesture, he was about to leave.

Suddenly, a soft sigh came from my ears: "Idiot!! After the big competition of the sect, the matter will be discussed again. ”

Tiafik suddenly felt a little sad, but he resolutely walked straight out of the sect's main hall.

Who would want to leave their homeland if they could?

What Bailing City beauties are like clouds, solve single?? Hehe, it's just an excuse to deceive yourself. The reason why he really had to choose to leave was that he was about to break through the fourth order, and the way to break through was a non-traditional breakthrough.

The setting of the Mandate of Heaven is very strange, that is, the number of positions in each sect is fixed under normal circumstances, and it will not increase, nor decrease, and the connection of resource channels is also closely related to the position.

There are many strong and few weak, this is the truth since ancient times.

His breakthrough may be a good thing for the sect as a whole, but it may not be for the senior brothers who get along with him day and night.

Sometimes, the seeds of hatred are the result of these seemingly inadvertent exclusions.

Of course, the additional acquisition of resources is not really completely static, there is a certain room for improvement in some special cases, and there are many conventional ways, such as the sect competition mentioned by the Huoyun Dao people is one of them, the refining competition, the new craftsman king competition............ Although there are not many more difficult paths, they are not rare, secret realms, extraterritorial battlefields......

Because he is participating in the blacksmith series of events, the means that can be used in the game can only be related to forging, and they are matched with each other at the same level.

Normal blacksmiths need to complete a legendary forge as a precondition to break through the fourth order.

However, the biggest difficulty is that Tiafik chose a non-forging breakthrough.

When his combat power reached the fourth order, his true forging level was only the third order.

Unfortunately, the system's default matchmaking mechanism is based on order.

Once he chooses to compete after the breakthrough, there is only one situation that can lead to an undisputed bottom, and whoever is matched with him, but whoever breaks through the blacksmith path will never be an opponent.

In other words, what he will bring to the sect in the future may not be glory, but a drag and burden.

It's not just him, Bai Mo, Shi Zhang, and the greetings are facing the same situation.

It's just that because Lin Song was present at the time, everyone didn't discuss the dilemma on the surface, and there were hidden words in the words, which was tacit.

The teacup in the hand of the Huoyun Daoist gradually lost its heat, and his figure was like a stone sculpture, not moving at all, and time seemed to be frozen in the moment when Tiafik left.

Alas!!

For a long time, the hall reverberated with a long-lasting sigh, which contained vicissitudes, sadness, and relief......

……

In the evening, Lin Song rarely did not drag the hall and went offline with everyone.

Overall, it was a fulfilling day.

First, there is the strong joining of Zhang Kai and the others, and then there is the implementation of future action goals.

One thing that is indisputable is that the two NPCs are definitely not as simple as they appear, and nine times out of ten they have a hidden purpose.

Lin Song understands this, Luo Fang understands, and Sha Cheng and the others also understand.

However, judging from the current situation, the advantages do outweigh the disadvantages, and we can only secretly find opportunities to explore the mysteries.

As for the short-term plan of action, it is naturally divided into four parts in terms of the extension of the initial vision: joining the sect, exploring the mercenary hall, finding a way to enter the center of the city, and detecting the additional functions of the secondary city.

In short, the four elements can be summarized in another way.

Boost your strength!! How to improve the strength efficiently!!

Judging from the size of the second-tier city, there is no goal that can be easily achieved in a short period of time, except for exploring the mercenary hall.

Only Luo Fang was accepted by Huang Heguan in advance due to some factors, but he was far ahead of everyone and took the most difficult first step.

After a rather pleasant dinner, Sha Cheng and the others left one after another, and the lively house gradually became deserted, returning to the familiar state of the two again.

"What do you think of that???

Luo Fang walked out of the kitchen slowly, with the help of an absorbent towel, there was no water stain and greasy left in his hands, and he gently stretched his body and exercised after eating, which was conducive to the shaping of his figure.

"Which one??"

yawned, Lin touched his round belly, leaned comfortably in the recliner, and responded to Luo Meinu's question with or without a match.

"Zhang Ying and Kelly!!"

After the two sets of stretching exercises, Luo Fang felt that the blood circulation began to accelerate, the breathing was smooth, and the flush on her face was faint, so she chose to stop, and the excessive exercise only had the opposite effect.

Then, she looked at Lin with a disgruntled gaze because the latter was indulging in scrolling through the information board and had not responded positively to her question at all.

"What do you mean!! Could it be that there is some ulterior factor? ”

Inexplicably angry, Luo Fang felt a wave of grievances, since the two major NPCs joined, she felt that her position in the team had been greatly challenged.

And the cause and effect of all this is caused by this guy in front of him.

"Alas!! Don't pull your ears, where did you learn this bad habit?? ”

The relationship between the two is very complicated, and they are only a layer of window paper away from that identity, and their words and deeds when they are alone are naturally more in line with their nature.

Lin Song bared his teeth and expressed strong condemnation, and then was defeated in the latter's big eyes that surged with mist.

"It's not as complicated as you think, and it's certainly not as simple as it seems. In my opinion, NPCs meeting with players is the trend of the times, and today's situation is just a relatively obvious sign. ”

Since the trial, he has already discovered one thing - that is, the strength of most NPCs is closely related to the player, although it has not reached the point of pompous loss, but it is also equivalent to the effect of a catalyst.

Everyone has the heart of self-motivation, and the former's pursuit of strength is not half a point lower than the latter.

Luo Fang thought thoughtfully, followed Lin Song's thinking, and slowly came to the same feeling, and had to admit that Lin's point of view was really to the point.

"Indeed, compared to the beginning of the game, NPCs are becoming more and more autonomous, and all of this is completely inseparable from the player's traction."

"It's not as easy as it seems for NPCs to join the player's team, and based on their performance and known information, at least three prerequisites are met. First, the double hair must have a good foundation of friendship (favorability), and second, the player itself must have the ability to transcend ordinary people in some way, which can be strength, life ability, or other unknown means; Thirdly, and most crucially, the NPC itself should be in a weakly constrained state, i.e., there is no systematic position to bind it. ”
