Chapter 106: Phoenix's Quest (4th Update)
"Phoenix, you're here!"
Meng Yang turned his head, looked at Phoenix, who was still dressed in a hooded outfit and had a cold temperament, and said with a smile, "I have something I want to give to you when I look for you." ”
"Huh?"
The delicate face under the hood slowly raised his head, and his eyes seemed to pass with a hint of surprise.
During this period of time, she naturally saw the changes in the entire camp.
From the beginning when Meng Yang came to the City of Despair, she didn't have much affection for this stranger who was forcibly appointed as the leader of the camp by her teacher Gustav, and of course she couldn't talk about it, just numbness.
Even if he is a transcendent of the first order, a camp of dozens of people is still powerless in the face of a dangerous world.
Even a nighttime sneak attack by the sawtooth tiger at night was enough to make her anxious.
But since Meng Yang began to summon otherworldly people later, she repelled the monsters who came to besiege the camp one after another, and the pressure on her shoulders has been greatly reduced.
The elderly, women, and children throughout the camp who had been terrified all day long had more smiles on their faces.
Especially after rescuing the camp in the Seventh District, where many otherworlders joined forces to kill Death's Fury, she gradually felt that her importance was not as great as she thought.
Unlike Sheila, who has comprehended the power of nature, has the ability to heal, and can refine potions, she is not like Gusa, who has mastered the craft of enchantment in addition to exquisite melee skills, so it can be said that the entire camp is now extremely limited.
Even if she teaches the awakening of transcendent seeds through cultivation, there are only three or five otherworldly people who come to her to study now, and they don't come often, and even the otherworldly person named Liu Chuanfeng, who she is most optimistic about, secretly took a potion to awaken the transcendent seed at some point.
As for personal combat effectiveness, as more and more people from the other world awaken transcendent seeds, and after being tempered by battles again and again, it won't be long before many people's strength will not be too inferior to her, and at that time, her sense of existence will be further reduced.
Although she is happy to see such a change in her heart, she does not feel particularly good personally.
However, for Meng Yang to suddenly find her, she was still a little confused for a while, and she didn't know what the reason was.
Meng Yang didn't know that Phoenix had thought a lot in his heart in this short period of time, and just said to himself: "Our camp is getting on the right track step by step and is developing in a good direction, but the threat from outside still cannot be ignored. So—"
Meng Yang paused slightly, then continued: "I need you to help me set up a guard, well, the city lord's personal guard!" It's up to you to teach them to lead them, and the personnel can be survivors of the natives or otherworldly, and your main job in the future will be to clear the monsters. ”
"Guards?" After listening to Meng Yang's words, Phoenix frowned slightly, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning.
"We need to have professional and strong people to face the monsters, at least until the Demon Tide comes, I hope we can control the entire City of Despair in our hands, only by integrating all the power of the City of Despair, we may survive the next Demon Tide outbreak."
Meng Yang slowly explained that the establishment of a professional armed force to hunt monsters was an idea that Meng Yang had since he summoned players for the second time.
Although the previous battles were all victorious in the end, the price of this victory was the consumption of a large number of invisible magic crystal resources.
Although when encountering a monster attack, or encountering a major crisis, he issues a mission, and the players are immediately fully armed, but without the right command, it cannot fully exert its combat strength.
What Meng Yang wants to do is to build a skeleton, dozens of people to hundreds of people and even thousands of people behind, when it comes to the real need to face the crisis, these people can quickly organize more players, not chaotic and helpless.
In Meng Yang's vision, after solving the problem of magic crystals, half of his focus would be shifted to rebuilding the City of Despair and accumulating strength, but at the same time, there must be a standing armed force to continuously start expelling and destroying the monsters in the City of Despair. At the same time, the refining of potions is also inseparable from these raw materials.
The aborigines can train some people with command talents, and players can take the form of recruiting free joiners, and they can get prestige and rewards after participating, but they need to follow orders, accumulate experience, and cultivate a tacit understanding of teamwork. This can also ensure the needs of some players to fight monsters.
This is different from Li Yuncheng and Zhuang Dafa's exploration team, the former is mainly focused on finding resources and collecting information, and the latter is a pure combat formation, of course, it is also possible to combine the two into one in the later stage.
Under this framework, small battles can hone and cultivate the combat effectiveness of players and aborigines, and the big ones are convenient for command and arrangement when it comes to critical times.
As for the players who do not obey the command, now Meng Yang has a large number of netizens who have applied to enter the game, and there is no shortage of people at all, and the punishment can range from restricting the resurrection to directly banning the account and blocking it.
"I'll get this done."
After listening to Meng Yang's explanation, Phoenix nodded solemnly, and her eyes once again shone brightly, which was a kind of brilliance that rediscovered the value of her own existence.
After watching Phoenix leave in high spirits, Meng Yang then thought about other things, and the next first problem was the food problem.
At present, the food of the two camps is mainly the meat of local melons and various monsters and beasts, which can be guaranteed in the short term, but in the long term it is still a relatively difficult problem.
"Once the area occupied by the giant scorpion is cleared, it's time to start farming."
Meng Yang returned to the mission center, there was a desk he was using now, there was a quill on the desk, Meng Yang sat at the desk, and took out a piece of parchment from his coat pocket, which was densely recorded with bits and pieces of his recent thoughts.
The natives of the two camps are now less than two hundred, and the food consumed is not too much, and the influx of players who come forward this time is the next problem.
The player's body is built with "magic energy", when a disposable item is used, there is naturally no hunger problem after death, and even replenishing "magic energy" can be done, but if there is no energy supplement, it will still be consumed, and food will be needed at this time.
According to Meng Yang's observations, players are about enough to replenish their food once a day for about eight hours, and some players log in again after going offline, and the magic circle will replenish some of them again, so most players don't feel hungry many times during the game.
Meng Yang hadn't paid much attention to this aspect before, and it was only a small number of players who had burst their livers that occasionally ate something to replenish their physical strength, and he discovered this problem.
In terms of using food to solve the problem, Meng Yang will not consider the players directly using "magic energy" to replenish, but to open up part of the land, and the planting industry still has a certain development, which is not only for the consideration of magic energy, but also a way of life.
Meng Yang had learned from the aborigines that the original food supply in the City of Despair came mainly from the vast land south of the city, which was a growing area, and there were rivers flowing into the sea to form a plain area with abundant water and grass.
It's just that now they have been occupied by all kinds of monsters, and it is still difficult for Meng Yang to get these lands in the short term, and the best location is the land near the artificial lake in the city occupied by the giant scorpion group, which is reclaimed here, at least to ensure that the food of thousands of people is not too much of a problem.
"The most important thing is the magic crystal now, although the magic crystal mine has been discovered, but now it is still difficult to grab the territory of the bone monitor lizard."
Meng Yang looked at the development he had listed by himself, internal development and external expansion were inseparable from the most important resource of magic crystals.
He flipped through the parchment again, and soon noticed another one, and then perked up a little.
