Chapter 130: Lei Zhen's Request
Epic was a little surprised, the red mark of the murderer on his head, the bow and arrow guards hired by Shabak City, completely ignored it. Letting her go in and out and ignoring it, the action that made her ready to swallow the pill was deadlocked.
But come to think of it, the NPCs in this VR version are all thinking and don't act according to the program as in previous online games. Although the epic is a super red name, he can come in with the talk and laughter of the Shabak City Lord, and he also has the title of Shabak member on his head, which heartless city guard archery guard will not be able to get along with his work? If you annoy the Earth Emperor of Shabak City, the boss of the world's number one adventurer guild, not to mention losing this first-class job, it is not certain that he will be beaten to death by the people of the Age of the Gods!
After entering the city, the epic finally put their mind at ease, this is their territory, and there is no need to worry about anything else at all! It seems that in the future, there is no need to repair equipment, buy medicine, and access props to go to the alliance to drink medicine from the archers. That's good news!
Facing Shabak City intuitively, I found that although it was built on desert terrain, the scale of the entire city was even grander than that of Mengzhong Earth City and Beech City! And just experienced a siege battle, the NPCs coming in and out of the city gate are still flowing like water, and the prosperity can be imagined.
I suddenly remembered the simple introduction on the official website: Shabak City was originally established only because the Mafa discovered a secret passage in a secret stronghold, in which a large amount of resources and treasures were buried. With the concentration of a large number of resources and personnel, over time, the center of power of Marfa slowly shifted from Beach City to what is now Shabak......
No wonder! Only this loyalty to glory and power will attract the yearning and followers of all warriors in the world.
This is the city of our Age of the Gods, and it will never be handed over to anyone! An ambition suddenly rose in the epic's heart, and when he turned his head, he found that the boss Cheng Bing was also looking at him with a smile, and his eyes were smiling at the same time as the two brothers.
Walking down the street, dense crowds of NPCs and players salute this way. Some of the NPCs of the foreign caravan knelt down and kowtowed tremblingly when Cheng Bing and his party came over, and said respectfully: "Lord of the City! Attracted the laughter of the players next to him, but he was unmoved, still respectful.
At first, the player is just curious, pointing fingers at the NPCs, and even mocking them for bowing down to the Age of the Gods Guild. However, when Lei Zhen, the leader of the Shabak City Guards and a level 40 NPC general hired by Cheng Bing with a high salary, led more than 30 city guards with bows and arrows to come to guard, the ridicule stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a deep fear and yearning.
After the Siege of Shabak ended and the Age of the Gods took over the city, curious players and members of the major guilds teleported in from all over the world. After discovering the prosperity of Shabak, nearly half of them decided to put down roots here. In just one day, the official market of Shabak was completely occupied by NPCs and player merchants, and even Epic called Liu Xiaomei over and took a storefront in the market. Anyway, it's my own city, and even the store rent is saved!
"Now there are probably more than 800,000 residents of Shabak," Cheng Bing proudly showed off to his brothers as he walked, "It's just the number of NPCs, and the players are at least several times more than NPCs!" We are now the mayor of a large city with a population of one million! ”
"With such a large population flow, it has already surpassed the League Heavy Earth City and the Beech King City!" Zhou Jin smiled slightly on the side, "However, if the development of internal affairs is good, the NPC population will reach at least more than 4 million in less than a month!" At that time, taxes alone will allow us to sit at home and count our money every day. ”
"That's not what I said," Epic frowned and shook his head, "The bigger the city, the more taxes it does!" However, its daily maintenance and overhead will also increase. If you want to sit at home and count your money, you can't get through the initial stage of development. But the problem is that players in other large and medium-sized game guilds will not sit idly by and watch us dominate Shabak! ”
"Aren't you unfounded? Without the statue of Zuma, which game guild can attack the city? As long as we occupy the Zuma temple, they won't be able to hit the Zuma statue! Lu Jie didn't care.
"That's it!!" Situ Fei and Sun Bingyi both nodded in agreement.
"You can't underestimate the heroes of the world~~" Zhou Jin interjected at the right time, "That's right! I also have to arrange the repair of the city's war-damaged buildings, so I won't accompany you to go first. ”
"Okay! Go ahead and get busy. "It is indeed important to repair the city gates, the palace, and the residential houses that have been damaged to varying degrees, Cheng Bing nodded and asked the epic to hand over the repair funds to Zhou Jin.
"Lord of the Castle!" Seeing Zhou Jin leave with the funds, Lei Zhen, the NPC general who had been silently following behind him, leaned over with a shy face, "Look at the military resources needed for the training of our city guards......
"She's my Chancellor of the Exchequer, ask her about funding!" Cheng Bing pointed to the epic very unjustly and said, "I'm going to convene Wenchen to discuss the construction of the city, so I'll go to the palace first!" Brothers, do your own thing! ”
"I'm going to Beechcraft Province to make money!" Sun Bingyi played with all kinds of tricks with the dagger in his hand, and everyone knew what he meant by "making money".
"Old Five, help my Yuanyuan do the task!" Lu Jie pulled Situ Fei away, "Your archers are fast at grabbing monsters, and you are definitely good at tasks......
The brothers all went about their own business, leaving only Epic alone. Because she is not wearing a mask now, the NPC residents and merchants around her are trembling and trying to stay away as much as possible, not daring to approach. The players who recognized her had the intention to come up and talk to her or wanted to take a screenshot of the group photo, but they were stopped by the bow and arrow guards of the city guards.
"This adventurer, about military ......" Lei Zhen looked at the bright red name on the top of the epic head, and knew that this woman was extremely dangerous. But in order to get military funds, you still have to ask.
"The money will be given to you in a moment! But tell me first," Epic turned his head to look at the jujube red horse that Lei Zhen had brought in, "where can I catch this thing?" ”
The horse has always been the mainstay of mounts, thanks to its excellent physical strength and speed. Of course, the main thing is that the horse riding is handsome enough!
Facing the "Minister of Finance" Lei Zhen naturally had to put down the general's shelf, Bi Gong replied respectfully: "In the northernmost direction of Mengzhong Province, there is a natural grassland connecting Mengzhong Province and the border of the Shenlong Empire. There are hundreds of animals living in the pasture, and my jujube red horse was once caught in the pasture! It's just that the Dragon Empire is not currently open to adventurers, so I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the map yet......"
"Is that so? That's a shame. Epic was a little depressed, went to the warehouse and took out the gold coins and handed them to Lei Zhen, "Okay, the military resources will be handed over to you!" ”
"Thank you, sir!" Lei Zhen took the gold coin and smiled.
Epic slowly cleaned up the backpack, mailed some of the best equipment that had already had formulas and could not continue to decompose to Liu Xiaomei for sale, and stored part of it in the guild warehouse first. When he turned his head and found that he had stored something, Lei Zhen, the general of the Shabak City Guard, did not leave, and suddenly said strangely: "Didn't the money be given to you!" Why are you still looking at me? ”
"That ......" Lei Zhen was a little embarrassed, "My lord, in fact, the lower official has a reluctant request!" ”
"Oh? I'm not an official of Shabak, so what can you ask me for? Epic curious.
Lei Zhen scratched his face and smiled: "This matter can only be done by asking you, an adult!" It's about enhancing the combat effectiveness of the city guards...... Since Xia Guan has come to Shabak, he naturally hopes that this job can continue forever! It's just that Xia Guan also knows that this Shabak is a battleground for soldiers, and it will definitely become a city that adventurers' guilds will attack in the future! In order to defend Shabak for the lord of the city, it is always good to have more power in your hands! ”
"If you want money to buy equipment and medicines, you have to apply with our boss first! After he agrees, I can give you the funds! Epic replied, "But in fact, I have a lot of equipment or something, why don't you pick a little first?" ”
"My lord! It's not about money, it's not about equipment! Lei Zhen hurriedly explained, "Actually, Xia Guan has long heard of Lord Shishi's name, and he also knows your unique identity as a [pet trainer]. Xia Guan wants to guard this Shabak City for the Age of the Gods, and always be the general of this Shabak City! I heard that Lord Shishi can control all the powerful creatures in the world, and even subdued a Western divine beast! I've also heard a lot about the pets that Lord Shishi captures and sells to others. Xia Guan knew that Lord Shishi's pet was expensive, and he didn't have that much money to buy it. But for the sake of defending the city in the future, although I knew that it was unlikely, I still had the cheekiness to ask for a pet for all the brothers of the city guard! ”
"All the city guards? Hundreds of good people, right? Epic was stunned.
"Yes!" Lei Zhen peeked at the epic worriedly, observing her movements, and was nervous.
"Well~~!" Epic frowned and thought, hundreds of pets are not a small amount of money! Giving it to the city guards for free is sure to be a huge loss, not to mention having to push back some orders or postpone deliveries to make time for capture. If you really want to agree, you will definitely lose more than 100,000 yuan at one time! That's not a small amount of money......
It's just that what Lei Zhen said in front of him is not bad, if he can enhance the strength of the city guards. In the future, the role of the city guards in the Shabak War will also be greater! It's a multiple-choice question!
After thinking about it carefully, Epic nodded, and said slowly under Lei Zhen's excited expression: "I can provide pets for the city guards, but it definitely can't be gratuitous!" You should also know the value of pets, especially strong pets! That way, I'll find a time to grab enough pets and distribute them to all of you city guards! According to the value of the pet, I will deduct a small percentage of your military salary every month and pay it over several months or more! If you agree, I'll take care of it! If it doesn't work, then forget it......"
"We agree!!" What else is there to think about? Lei Zhen originally had such an idea, and nodded on the spot.
