Chapter 112: Cave in the Shadows
"In the past half a month, in order to build the village, we have spent a total of 5,535,000 gold coins in order to build the village, recruit NPC guards and skill masters, and pay salaries to the deputy players in the village, and collect the players' house purchase money, consumption and entertainment A total of 1,612,000 gold coins, a loss of 1,923,000 gold coins, and as a village-level guild, the number of members that our gang can recruit now has reached the upper limit of 50,000, and it is impossible to recruit people anymore." Sitting in front of the Cupola Sword in the Longteng World Gang Hall, a middle-aged player with a thin and lean head and a shrewd look in his eyes was reporting to the Cupola Sword one by one with a ledger.
"Big young master, the top priority now is to find a way to upgrade the level of the station, and become a town-level station as soon as possible, and there are also recruited NPC guards and technicians who can save a few, which is not more expensive than the expense." The middle-aged player continued.
"Hehe, Uncle Qian, I know what you said, guards and skill masters are indispensable now, without them to protect the village and facilitate players to learn skills, it will definitely not be able to attract more people to come to the village to consume, and I have also considered the issue of upgrading the station, but although we are now the number one gang in heaven and earth, it is still a question whether we can withstand the monster attack when upgrading the town-level station, plus my current reputation value cannot meet the needs of the station upgrade, so now it is better to let the brothers rush to the level and improve their strength. Although there are so many people in the gang now, there will be no more than seventy percent of those who can work hard for the gang wholeheartedly, and the others just want to take advantage of it and borrow some momentum. Therefore, the next step is to rectify the gang, and the existing people who have ruined the reputation of the gang and do not contribute to the gang must start to clear the gang in a planned way, and recruit more capable and righteous players to come in. ”
Cupola Sword paused, and said: "Actually, we can have such a high return now far beyond my imagination, I am ready to start building a gang that has been losing money for a few months, and the construction of that gang stationed in the place is from a high standard, strict requirements, of course it costs a lot of money, otherwise it will not be so easy to defend when resisting monsters attacking the village last time, so it will be rewarding to throw this money down, as long as it continues according to this trend, the day when we will gain benefits from the 'heaven and earth' is not far away." ”
The middle-aged man named Uncle Qian listened to the words of the Heavenly Sword, nodded and said, "It's still the eldest young master who thinks about it thoroughly, thinks it well." ”
**"Boss, recently, there have always been players near our gang station, and players who come to the village to consume are often dissatisfied with the food, poor service and noisy, which has affected a lot of business, and has lost more than two million this month, m's, I guess which club deliberately let people come to find fault. An orc player with a broad waist and a fleshy face roared at the blood-stained territory.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, his face sank when he was blood-stained, and he grinded his teeth and said fiercely: "It doesn't matter if you lose some money, if someone dares to come to trouble, it must be solved, otherwise how can we gain a foothold in the 'heaven and earth' in the future, and how dare other players come, crazy wolf, you take someone to check it for me, to see which gang is under it, m's, find out that Lao Tzu must be good-looking." ”
The mad wolf listened to the words of the blood-stained territory, and replied with the guy on the hand: "Boss, you can rest assured, I will take it out to check, these guys who dare to come to find trouble should not be touched by me, and when they encounter Lao Tzu, they must come over vertically and go out horizontally." ”
Fuck* "Lingyun, now the situation in the village is basically on the right track, although it is still losing money, but it is all on the good side, it seems that you made such a decisive decision in the first place is not wrong." A delighted, reddish player stood behind the arrogant Lingyun and said with a smile.
"Yu Yun, it's not too early to say this, the brothers trust me so much, and finally scraped together so much money as the starting capital of the gang, we must not be careless, we must improve the basic facilities of the village, and train more brothers who learn skills such as architecture, institutions, blacksmiths, tailors, etc., so that we can save a lot of money to hire NPC technicians, and after the world's first martial arts competition, my reputation has been able to meet the requirements of improving the level of the station, so that the brothers can hurry up and rush to the level, plus you can ask for it. With the help of the two gangs of 'Dragon Teng World' and 'Ten Thousand Beasts Without Borders', we strive to upgrade the Lingyun Pavilion station to a town-level station as soon as possible, which will inevitably bring a broad market. Arrogant Lingyun looked at the prosperous station and said with great ambition.
"Fuck buddy, I heard that you haven't joined the guild yet, are you interested in joining us to help, we won't treat you badly." "The guy who spoke in a rough voice was the madman, and the one opposite him was a player who participated in the world's first martial arts tournament and made it to the semifinals.
"What's in it for you?" Hearing that there was still a benefit to the gang, the player became interested, looked at the madman and asked.
"As long as you make a proper contribution to the gang, we can pay you a generous bonus." The madman said with the most direct temptation.
"What kind of contribution?" The player asked.
Seeing that this player was also a mercenary person, the madman took a few steps forward, leaned into the player's ear and muttered, hearing that the player's face was red and white. When the madman finally finished speaking, his face tightened, and with a wave of his big hand, a group of fierce-faced thugs immediately appeared behind him to surround the player tightly, and the madman said: "Friend, since you have listened to our rules, then you have to add it, and you have to add it if you don't add it, you think about it carefully." ”
The player didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Big brother, there are such benefits, how can I not add it, I hope you will take care of it more in the future." ”
The madman saw that this player could get acquainted, and his ugly face was relaxed, and he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Hehe, we will be our own people in the future, what to talk about taking care of or not, everyone earns money, and everyone enjoys the rich." But there is another sentence that the madman didn't say in his heart, that is, "you have to bear the difficulty".
Fuck, all it takes is a token to build a gang, but it costs millions of gold to build a gang station, so how much does it cost to build a town-level or city-level station. It seems that these gangs that have built a station are not mediocre people, they are all willing to invest, and they are visionary figures, who have crossed the sea one after another, each showing their magical powers, and wants to carve up the huge online consumer market of "heaven and earth" with Huaxia Group.
Fuck* What does this hunter want to get, will it be another hidden mission, by taking over a few missions that have not suffered losses, I was inexplicably excited when I heard these NPCs say such sensitive words, and I hurriedly appeared excitedly, walked up and asked, "Uncle, what are you looking for, can I help?" ”
I suddenly opened my mouth, which made Lao Feng really startled, and he looked at me with a little surprise and asked, "Who are you and where are you from?" ”
Isn't this nonsense, where can I come from, of course I'm from the city, I hurriedly said: "I'm a player who just came from the Undercity, I heard you say that I want to get that or that, and I want to help you." ”
"You, can you really help me?" The hunter looked at me a little disbelievingly and asked.
"Yes, why not, I'm also a thirty-third level master, and I also have a Dark Panther King pet." As I spoke, I took out the bronze medal to summon Xiao Hei, and with the flickering magic light on the ground, Xiao Hei's sturdy figure gradually became clear from blur, appearing between me and Lao Feng.
"It's really the Dark Panther King, this is a level forty monster, you can be tamed and become a pet, you really have a certain ability, but what I need is not as simple as you think to get it." Hunter Lao Feng looked at Xiao Hei and said in amazement.
Looking down on me like this, this task must be quite difficult, and it is estimated that the reward is also rich, I guessed from my subjective assumptions and thought beautifully. No matter how difficult it is, as long as you prescribe it, there will always be a solution, if it's really difficult, I can do it at most, what's the big deal.
I confidently said to the hunter, "Listen and see if I can help you." ”
"I need to go to the blue-striped ant's nest and collect fifty blue-striped ant eggs, can you do that?" Hunter Lao Feng said word by word.
Ah, it's really difficult, the occasional group outside makes me scared out of my soul, and then let me go to the ant nest, that's not to send sheep into the ant mouth, there is no return, I, it seems that I don't have the ability to take it, I weigh my own weight and think. However, looking at the old style of this hunter, it doesn't look like some high-level cattle owner, why does he dare to be here alone, not afraid of blue-striped ants, and want to get ant eggs alone, isn't he afraid of hanging? Still, he has some secret weapon.
My gaze wandered over Lao Feng for a moment, and I asked tentatively, "If I promise to help you collect the eggs, can you give me any help?" ”
Lao Feng smiled and said: "If you are really willing to accept this task and collect ant eggs instead of me, I can give you a few bottles of blue ant liquid, and apply the one that can make the blue ants not hostile to you for a certain period of time, after all, those guys do not distinguish the enemy by their eyes, but by smell, but once you get the ant eggs, those blue ants will immediately attack you, in addition to throwing the ant eggs, which is also the reason why I have not been able to get it, how about it, the recluse, are you willing to accept this task, By the way, if you can't do it, you will have to lower your reputation. ”
Blue ant liquid, this medicine is good, it can keep the ants from attacking me, at least it can ensure my personal safety, since failure only reduces prestige, what is that loss, I still have more prestige, the last time I tamed Xiao Hei, it suddenly increased my reputation by four hundred, enough for me to squander, I nodded and said to the hunter Lao Feng: "Okay, then I will take your task." ”
"Hermit player, you have accepted the Medal of the Brave quest, the mission duration is two days, and failure will reduce the player's reputation by 200 points." (Although this task is a hidden task, the prerequisite that needs to be touched, that is, the player's reputation value must exceed 200, otherwise what will be deducted if it fails)
"Young man, since you have accepted this task, then follow me into the house first, and I will tell you in detail about the situation of the ant nest." Since someone was willing to help him, the hunter was of course happy to be idle, and after giving me a few bottles of blue ant liquid, he welcomed me into the house, and the two of them and the beast sat down around a small wooden table.
Lao Feng took out a stone pen from his body, drew on the table, and explained to me: "Then, the blue ant nest is located in the westernmost corner of this swamp, it is a huge and deep burrow, which is inhabited by hundreds of blue-striped ants, and the ant eggs can be found in the blue-striped ant queen in the middle of the burrow. You go straight in, then turn left, then turn right, turn right, well, that's probably where you go. ”
Taking a breath, Lao Feng continued: "Those blue-striped ants will go out to hunt on a large scale from time to time every day, just like you saw just now, they are divided into several groups to hunt swamp animals, and this is the time when the defense in the blue ant nest is the weakest, so the chance of successfully escaping after collecting the ant eggs is also greater, I hope you can take advantage of the opportunity in these two days and bring me the blue-striped ant eggs." ”
Listening to what Lao Feng said, I stood up with a pout, said goodbye to Lao Feng, and hurriedly ran out with Xiao Hei like a gust of wind, wasn't it the time for the blue-veined ants to go out just now, we have to hurry up, otherwise they don't know when they go out hunting next time. Out of the cabin, I stepped onto Xiao Hei and hurried straight to the west corner of the swamp.
"Ah, why is this kid in such a hurry, there are still a lot of small leaders in the blue ant nest, they are not something to mess with, and the innermost black hole can never be entered, even I don't know what is powerful in it, may the Buddha bless you." The hunter Lao Feng looked at my back helplessly and said.
Hehe, sure enough, because the large army went out hunting, I really didn't see a few ants along the way, and the three-eyed lizards we didn't have time to take care of, they didn't want to catch up with me, after more than ten minutes of arduous trekking (if it weren't for the swamp that appeared from time to time, and hiding from a few swamp forest pythons basking in the sun, my little black degree could be faster), a barren and barren brown land fell into front of us, and the swamp environment seemed a little out of place.
"You've got a dark cave and you've gained 5oo experience."
Hearing the system's reminder, I knew that the blue ant nest we were looking for had arrived, and the entrance to the huge black hole-like nest was quietly lurking in the middle of the open field, as if waiting for me to explore. This old style is really stingy, he only gave me three bottles of blue ant liquid, and I don't know how long it can be used, if I don't have this talisman at the critical moment, I won't be miserable. Yes, on the one hand, in order to save blue ant liquid, on the other hand, from the perspective of safety first, my little black will not be brought down, or that sentence, people will be lowered by one level when they hang up, and pets will be gone.
After carefully applying the light blue, lightly fishy liquid, I strode towards the gloomy cavern. Drink, the three-meter-square hole outside is already quite exaggerated, walk in and take a look, only to feel that the space inside is larger, alone in this empty and gloomy hole, the dull air makes me feel a little depressed. Maybe it's because of the psychological effect, I always feel that something is wrong, and there seems to be some unspeakable danger lurking in front of me. However, relying on my full trust in the blue ant liquid, I rushed in without hesitation to find the blue queen.
After watching a few blue-striped soldier ants pass by me with trepidation, but there was no reaction, I was sure of the effect of Lao Feng's blue ant liquid, and it was true that he did not deceive me. The dark cloud in my heart was also blown away, and while paying attention to the distribution and movement trend of the remaining ants in the burrow, I felt to the center of the burrow.
A burst of chewing sounds sounded from the front, I estimated my current position, it should be near the center of the cave, the chewing sound should be the blue queen ant, turned a corner, and suddenly a trembling hill appeared in front of me, no, to be precise, a mountain like a hill queen.
Its head is about the same size as a normal blue-veined ant, but it is a little darker, and from the back of the oval neck shell, there is a large, almost transparent belly, which is scattered with ripple-like wrinkles on the belly that swells like a full breath, and trembles with the mouth as it feeds, and the white and crystalline round objects the size of eggs are stacked behind it must be ant eggs.
I touched the wall of the cave, this thirty-six-level blue-veined ant queen doesn't seem to be very flexible, it can be seen from that it has degenerated ant feet, if you say that as soon as you get the ant eggs, they will attack me, then it is better for me to strike first, first put this blue-veined ant queen unconscious, I have noticed on the road just now, there are no swarms of ants in the burrow, the most group is only four, there are the splitting arrows soaked in paralyzing poison, I was absolutely confident that I would be able to escape (last time, I was chased so badly by the damned ants because I didn't attach the paralyzing poison to the arrows beforehand).
I swaggered over to the blue-striped queen, the gluttonous guy was still biting the swamp lizard in front of me, and didn't care about my existence at all, so I started stealth, wielding the cursed blade was a sneak attack, as I wished, the blue-striped queen fell into a coma, and I immediately ran to the back and desperately tried to stuff the eggs in my backpack.
Fifteen, ten, fifteen...... Fifty, well, take a few more, lest I count wrong and not enough for Lao Feng at that time, I took a few more and threw them into my backpack, and then summoned Xiao Hei, and ran out of the hole on the horse. Without a large army of ants, I can safely and boldly use our little black to escape.
But how easy could the ants in this dark hole let me escape like this?
