Half a month passed in a flash.

There are only Nia and the four girls here, and if the area is not divided, it will be inconvenient to deal with some things, so in the past half a month, Nia naturally divided the second half of the GBL camp into a private area for four people. Because her strength has been recognized by the mercenaries, no one has raised objections to this.

What's more, during this time, what Nia brought to the mercenaries was enough to gag their mouths.

After a day's rest, Mars resumed his work, and Nia reassigned him to the position of vice captain of the mercenary team after taking office. Mars wasn't a great manager, but he was one of the mercenaries who knew the camp best.

But when Mars began to assist Nia in her management, he was surprised to find that the girl, who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, often surprised him in other ways, except for some basic aspects that often required him to be coached.

If the previous performance of the girl not hesitating to kill five people made the mercenaries fear her, then on the first day alone, Nia easily won the favor of most of the mercenaries.

It was the first night, just as the mercenaries were preparing their meals, he clearly saw that the newly appointed mercenary captain had taken out several large barrels of amber liquid, which was wine, from the space equipment.

After smelling the liquid, the mercenaries immediately erupted in a large cheer.

For a mercenary, the most important thing is undoubtedly gold, women and wine, and during the more than half a month that they were besieged here, even the drunkards who had the most reserves in advance had long been out of stock at this time, after all, it was impossible for them to carry a barrel of wine on their backs to do tasks. The sudden appearance of alcohol was enough to drive them crazy.

Naturally, Nia would not carry these things with her, and the sane GBL Sect would not have a private possession of such things. In fact, these things were made from the 'Food-making Technique', which Nia and Amy had spent an entire day studying before transforming the Food-Making Technique into a 'Sake Brewing Technique' that they had never been involved in.

A few barrels of wine may seem like a lot, but it is not enough to see it in the division of hundreds of mercenaries. Despite this, the mercenaries had a night of partying that day, and they really needed an excuse to vent their frustration during this time of siege. Of course, after that, Nia, who provided the wine, increased her favorability among the mercenaries by several percentage points.

During the mercenary carnival, Nia also secretly drank two sips in the mix, but after being choked and her face flushed, she decisively gave up this idea, with her current body, drinking is undoubtedly still a bit challenging.

From the second day onwards, the gloom in the mercenary camp had obviously been swept away a lot. And Nia also made Mars announce a series of new rules and regulations one day.

In general, this is a series of tasks that Nia has arranged for the mercenaries to kill boredom, the simple tasks are rewarded with drinks and the like, and the more difficult rewards are an alchemical potion called the 'Elixir of Strength'.

At first, the mercenaries were very unimpressed with this kind of strength enhancement potion that could only increase themselves by about one percent, but when several mercenaries who were stuck in the second and ninth levels all the year round successfully found an opportunity to enter the third order because of the medicine, the enthusiasm of the mercenaries completely exploded.

The seemingly ordinary potion can actually have the effect of breaking through the bottleneck, which the mercenaries did not expect at all. You must know that they have heard of this kind of medicine before, at most, in the black market, and naturally this medicine will not be prepared for low-level mercenaries like them.

But now, a great opportunity is in front of the mercenaries, as long as they complete the task assigned by Captain Nia, they can get the coveted potion.

Especially after Nia announced that she would be exploring the temple in a month's time, the tension before the battle made the mercenaries pay more attention to improving their strength.

As for the outcome of the exploration, if they still fail despite having a fourth-order professional in the team (as the mercenaries think), then there is no possibility that they will leave.

It can be said that in the hearts of the mercenaries, this is their last chance to leave here.

And after the mercenaries finished using the strength potion, the results they got also surprised Nia.

There are a total of one hundred and twenty-six mercenaries in the camp, and more than forty percent of them have broken through the current bottleneck under the effect of the potion, and there are two layers of people who have vaguely groped the direction of continued improvement, and the remaining forty percent, under Nia's secret investigation, learned that these people are the ones who have worked the least hard in each mercenary team.

Obviously, this batch of strength elixirs made by Nia can increase people's strength attributes for a period of time, although the size of the increase is very small for the mercenaries, but it is this that can make those mercenaries who have reached the apex of this stage take another step forward.

Seeing this powerful effect, Nia also began to think about it in her heart. In the past, she only thought that this could improve a small amount of stats and didn't care too much.

In fact, in the Arad continent, there are many items that temporarily improve attributes, such as berserk potions, savage potions, etc., their effects are much better than Niah's current strength elixir, but they all have a flaw that cannot be compared with the power elixir, that is, they can't rely on the potion to feel the next level.

Armed with the method of making the elixir of power, Nia felt that she might not have noticed a good way to make money.

During this time, the four of Nia were naturally not idle.

Amy set up a house not far from where the group lived as her alchemy lab, and initiated research on the few ancient technological artifacts that remained in the GBL camp. In her spare time, she also goes to make some potions. In fact, except for the first two days, the rest of the power elixirs were all in and out of Amy's hands.

After the mercenaries had stabilized a bit, Vader asked Nia to explore the surroundings. Considering that Vader was also the one who was most familiar with the place, Nia agreed to her request. Considering that it is not safe outside, Nia also sent several powerful mercenaries to Vader by the way, which is the reason for the difficult mission.

Eventually, the news that Vader brought back was very encouraging, and the controlled cultists began to shrink, and it was clear that it was now Rost's period of weakness.

As for Nia, she can be said to be the one who knows Rost's strength the most among everyone. Therefore, under tremendous pressure, after Nia dealt with the things she needed to deal with as a mercenary captain, she devoted all her remaining energy to training. If she has the spirit, she will fight against Starna, and even if she doesn't have the spirit, she will insist on meditation instead of resting. It can be said that Nia did not delay her cultivation at all because of the holiday.

In this tense atmosphere, half a month passed quietly, and everyone also got a great improvement in this half month, the most remarkable of which was that the number of mercenaries whose strength had reached the third order changed from three to ten, as long as there was a real fourth-order professional taking the lead, these mercenary teams could immediately become a medium-sized mercenary group.

Sensing that the time was almost up, Nia finally began to plan for the next step.
