Chapter 181: Neighbors
In real life, Wei Zidao is a small white-collar worker working in a large company, and he also manages a group of people under him.
The size of his group is uncertain, about five or six, because one of the team members is an intern and may not be able to stay in their company.
However, even if Wei Zidao is only in charge of single-digit team members, he can be regarded as a small leader, so he still has some experience in personnel task allocation and overall management.
For the design and planning of the station, it is more reasonable than Jiang Wei, at least it will not divide its own fence so big.
In Wei Zidao's station planning, he first designed the wall in the shape of an octagonal shape, with the eight corners convex and corresponding to each other.
"Work hard, try to build the wall today!" Wei Zidao shouted at the NPC soldiers who were carrying the wood in front of him while hitting the wooden stakes.
Although these NPC soldiers have a low level of intelligence and are not as flexible as those NPCs in villages and towns, there is some pattern in conversation.
However, when Wei Zidao commanded NPC battles these days, he found that as long as he often said some encouraging words when NPC soldiers were doing things or fighting, NPC's work efficiency would be improved to a certain extent, and in the team layout, you could see one or two points of morale increase.
Perhaps, this is a way to boost morale?
Wei Zidao looked at the dozen or so NPCs working in front of him, and felt a little worried, "At this construction speed, by the time the game is closed today, the city wall may not be completed." ”
Through the above explanations of the construction order, Wei Zidao learned that this construction order only has a protection effect of forty-eight.
After the construction order expires, if the fence has not been built, the station is as if it is not fortified.
In addition, even if the walls were built, they would only serve as defenses, and if there was no house built with drawings as a landmark for the station, then these places would still be wildlands, not homelands.
Therefore, monsters such as beasts can still spawn near the player, and hostile monster players are likely to come to harass.
If you're a little unlucky, after closing the entrance and exit of the wall, there may be a wild wolf refreshed behind you......
At that time, if Wei Zidao still wants to continue to build the station, it will be a very troublesome thing.
Not only do you have to build houses, but you also have to defend against the monsters that have spawned at all times.
Originally, Wei Zidao had a total of fifteen NPC soldiers under his command, but now one was captured by Jiang Wei, one less, which slowed down the construction speed a little.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have let those three NPC soldiers go out to collect materials, and now I have lost one of my manpower and been captured and missing."
Wei Zidao thought with some unhappiness in his heart: "If I can sell all the equipment in my bag, I don't have to let the NPC go to the trouble of logging, just empty my bag, and then go to the big city to find a wood merchant and a stone merchant, buy a bunch of building materials and come back." ”
Wei Zidao suddenly thought of the old friend "Capricorn Lun" he met before, which was called a big money.
There were five sets of green clothes, and people didn't blink at all, so they just threw out twenty gold coins and bought them.
However, after all, a large amount of money like Capricorn is a minority, and many players still can't afford it...... No, it should be said that they are not willing to spend money to redeem their equipment, even if Wei Zidao gives a 20% discount on the original price, they are not willing to spend this unjust money.
In the eyes of most players, the current white quality equipment and green quality equipment are just excessive equipment.
"Those guys, their strength is not good, their equipment is blown up, and they still slam the door, always thinking about counteroffering, alas..."Wei Zidao sighed in his heart.
"In the future, I will sell these equipment to NPC merchants, and I will not deal with them at a low price."
Wei Zidao continued to wield the carpentry hammer in his hand and hit the stake.
The wooden wall that Wei Zidao is building now is an octagonal wall type, which is much more troublesome than the general square city wall when it is built, whether it is the construction time or the amount of building materials, the two cannot be compared.
In addition, Wei Zidao now has one less manpower, which naturally makes the construction time longer.
So, why did Wei Zidao design this kind of city wall, and what are the advantages of this kind of city wall?
Wei Zidao's design idea came from the fortress.
Fortress, a kind of ancient defensive fortress.
As early as when Wei Zidao knew that he had completed the third task goal of the offensive and defensive activities, he began to check various ancient castles on the Internet to make preliminary preparations.
For this reason, he was also caught by the leader looking at the scenery during work hours and was scolded, but it was worth it for Wei Zidao.
The dream game is infinitely close to reality, and it is a game that uses sleep time to play, Wei Zidao believes that this game is definitely worth his effort to operate.
In the end, he chose the bastion.
The Bastion is a very effective wall improvement, turning the original square wall into a concave polygon, which will greatly improve the castle's defenses.
Because the city wall is no longer the traditional square square, but has many bastions with different directions.
Therefore, no matter from any point where the enemy attacks, there will be more than one bastion surface that can see the enemy and shoot at the enemy effectively.
In ancient times, before the advent of firearms, the fortress was an insoluble existence, and the defender could use this method of cross-defense to carry out multiple long-range strikes.
In this way, even if you don't build a high platform for shooters, there will be no defensive blind spots like traditional castle walls, and it is a very practical fortress-type castle wall.
Although the dream game is set in the Ming Dynasty in the 16th century, with firearms and artillery, Wei Zidao is not worried about those firearms and artillery at all, because the lethality of those shells is limited and cannot be compared with the guns of later generations.
Of course, the premise of not worrying is that he built the walls out of stone.
Now Wei Zidao uses wood to build the city wall, and it is only because there is not so much stone in the early development period, so he uses the wooden wall to make a transition.
At this time, the wall of Wei Zidao's garrison had been half built, and the shape of the three protruding fortress walls had also been completed.
Looking at the half-built city wall in front of him, Wei Zidao pondered: "Do you want to dig a few more trenches?" ”
"Forget it, let's wait for the wall to be built, and then slowly add defenses later, and I must build a real invincible fortress in the future."
…………
The city wall on Wei Zidao's side has been half built, and the fat man Jiang Wei, who is a neighbor, has not even collected all the building materials at this time.........
Without building materials, the construction order in Jiang Wei's hands was naturally not used.
After all, after the construction order is used, there is only forty-eight hours of protection time, Jiang Wei is not stupid, of course, he will not waste this precious construction order at this time.
"Those NPCs are too slow to collect materials."
"Alas...... If I were an adventurer, I could go directly to the city to find timber merchants and stone merchants to buy building materials, and I would be really bored right now. ”
What should I do if I am bored?
So, Jiang Wei played with the captive soldier if he had nothing to do.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Ahh Ahh
Jiang Wei hit the captive soldier with a stick, screaming, and the wooden stick crackled on his body.
Is it fun to beat captives?
The answer to this question may only be known to Jiang Wei himself.
As the target of frequent bullying, Jiang Wei, who has been isolated since childhood, has always hidden negative emotions and shadows in his heart.
"Why is everyone bullying me? I'm fat and slow, should I be bullied? Every time Jiang Wei was bullied, he would ask himself this sentence in his heart, and even tried to resist.
But over time, he gave up.
Because he can't beat others, not only is he slow, but he also has no strength, don't look at his big physique, in fact, he is fat and fat!
After high school, he learned to suppress all negative emotions, hide all psychological shadows, bury them in his heart, and be a fat person who always laughs before being a person.
In this way, his negative emotions have been suppressed and cannot be released.
Therefore, whether this is fun or venting, only Jiang Wei himself knows.
In the end, the captive was beaten to death by Jiang Wei and was almost hanging.
Looking at the captive who fell to the ground and snorted, Jiang Wei stopped the stick in his hand, "It's so cool, it turns out that bullying people is such a cool thing." ”
It's because it's so boring, to have fun, to have fun......
"But is it really okay to bully people just for fun?"
Jiang Wei couldn't help but think, "Why am I the one who was bullied, I don't want to be bullied, I also want to bully others!" ”
Thinking of these days, the adventurers who were pit by themselves, those adventurers who were killed by themselves or their wild monsters, Jiang Wei's face gradually showed a crazy expression, as if his wish for many years had suddenly been fulfilled and exploded at this moment!
At this time, Jiang Wei suddenly realized why those people liked to bully themselves when they were children.
"Pain...... ...... painfully," the NPC captive lay on the ground and shouted unconsciously, calling Jiang Wei back from that state of madness.
Jiang Wei calmed down and sat on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Gollum ......"
This is Jiang Wei's stomach calling again, he is hungry.
Jiang Wei looked at the NPC captives on the ground, he had no ability to resist at all, he threw away the wooden stick in his hand, and took out a black-faced steamed bun from his arms.
Jiang Wei had just taken a bite of the black-flour steamed bun when he heard the voice of the NPC captive soldier: "Hungry ......"
NPC soldiers also need to eat, and food is important to them.
If a player does not give food to their NPCs, the morale of the team they lead will decrease.
And this decline is continuous, and it decreases faster and faster over time.
Morale collapses, and the NPCs under your command will either leave the team or rebel!
This is also why players like Jiang Wei always choose a place close to the water source when building a station.
Because there is water to grow crops, there is a stable source of food.
Jiang Wei looked at the NPC soldier who was beaten like a pig's head, and broke the black-faced steamed bun in his hand in half.
"Hey, here you go, eat some." After Jiang Wei finished speaking, even he didn't know why there was such an action.
Guilty?
Or is it guilt?
Forget it, I still don't want to.
"Dingdong, you have a recruitment message record one day, please pay attention to check!"
"Huh? What's the news? Recruit? ”
Jiang Wei suddenly received a message prompt from the system for a day, and he opened the prompt box interface that was closed by himself in confusion......
"Thanks to your kindness and power, you have succeeded in instilling in an NPC soldier a sense of awe and kindness to you, and a willingness to serve you and become your personal retinue."
"Whether or not to accept the other party's allegiance."
There are two choices below a message, yes and no.
"Retinue? This NPC soldier wants to be my monster brother? Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Hahaha, sure enough! I knew that it was useful for me to give the name Jiang Aotian! ”
Jiang Wei was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly clicked the "yes" option.
Then, Jiang Wei followed the prompts given by the system and asked the NPC: "Are you willing to become my entourage, protect me from now on, and become a sword in my hand?" ”
The captive replied, "It is my pleasure to serve you, my lordship. ”
"Dingtone, you have accepted the allegiance of this NPC, and depending on the creep force you are in, the soldier template has been transformed from [Defender Shieldman] to [Green Forest Rebel], and you gain the allegiance of [Green Forest Rebel]."
It's done!
Since the other party has been recruited, there is no need for Jiang Wei to tie him up anymore.
Jiang Wei hurriedly untied the rope on the NPC's body, he didn't care what the other party's template became, he only knew that he had another NPC brother, or the kind that had been following him.
This is better than the nine NPCs assigned to him by the Guillotine Camp, who are not only loyal to themselves, can support themselves at any time, but also bring their own weapons and equipment.
Look at the armor that this NPC is wearing, uh, made of paper......
Forget it, let's look at his weapons, the bright gaping broadsword and wooden shield are all white quality equipment, and they are much more pleasing to the eye than those green forest bandits.
"Maybe his combat power is not as weak as I thought, but I was too strong to knock him out with a stick." Jiang Wei had completely forgotten that he had relied on sneak attacks and luck to stun this NPC soldier at one time.
But no matter what, Jiang Wei feels great now!
At this time, Jiang Wei suddenly thought: "What if I go to capture the prisoners and then surrender?" ”
"In that case, don't I have enough men to build a station?"
So, where to go to capture the captives?
Jiang Wei glanced at the Green Forest rebels he had just recruited, and thought to himself, "It seems that I have to visit this neighbor." ”
