Episode 172 Fighting for People

Tang Ke pretended to be drunk, pressed his forehead, and looked at the new task in his mind. He found the task new, but a little difficult. The debut of the Evil Dragon Pirate Group is short, but it is a bit of a false name, but the Ghost Pirate Group has become a well-known pirate group, and has done several big cases that have shaken the five empires. Pirates are always attracted to fame, and if they do, there are more people who choose the Ghost Pirate Group.

1,300 reward points are already beyond his means for the current Donke, but his current points have been exhausted, and even this little profit can't be let go. He thought about it for a moment and quickly made a plan to accomplish the task.

When Donk opened his eyes again, there was a gleam in his eyes.

"Captain Christine, I don't know how many people you want to recruit this time?"

"It takes about five hundred to eight hundred people, of course the more the better, pirates are still more suitable for crowd tactics, the ships of those dogs in the Imperial Navy are too powerful." Christine replied.

Donk nodded, knowing that he only needed to recruit more people than the other party in three days, but it didn't really have to be more than eight hundred.

"Captain Christine, I don't know if you have any other important things to do in the past few days besides recruiting?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"As a junior, I would like to hear your teachings and the legendary stories you have experienced, and I think this will be of great help to my future development." Donk smiled, "Also, I'd like to try a cup of coffee too." ”

One-eyed frowned slightly, glanced at Tang Ke strangely, and said this kind of self-proclaimed junior, which was a bit inconsistent with Tang Ke's unruly surname.

"No problem, I'm willing to make you a friend." Christine grabbed Donk's shoulders and looked very affectionate, "Brother Donk, sitting in front of you is a storybook, and turning the first page will bring you into a magical and magnificent world." ”

"I want to hear about it." Donk smiled.

…… In the dead of night, there was still a commotion coming from the Moon Que Tavern, and the lights in the house were streaming out, illuminating the stone pavement of the street. Tang Ke and One-Eye stood on a secluded street corner, with a broken wine bottle at their feet, and a cunning black cat running across the street, the figure of the black cat standing out against the background of the full moon.

Donk had just had a long, out-of-the-box conversation with Christine, and the conversation wasn't nutritious, and Donk was mostly perfunctory. Donk's willingness to be a listener is to hold Kristen back for three days, or at least to get Kristen to take his attention away from recruitment.

"One-eyed, I'm going to have to go back to talking to Christine soon, I'll be pestering him for three days, and you'll take my place to recruit people. The more people you can recruit during these three days, the better. Donk's voice was not loud, like a rustle of the wind in the night.

"Why? Many of your decisions are puzzling to me, even though they all benefit us in the end. "One-Eyed was full of doubts in his heart, why did he suddenly change his mind, and why did he get so close to Christine's old fox?

Donk and the others will keep their secrets tight, but he must give a reasonable explanation for One-Eye's right-hand man, otherwise they will not be able to maintain trust in each other.

"We talked in the middle of the night that my 'power' was insufficient, but the way I replenished my 'power' was more special, and I needed something similar to a ritual to replenish it." Donk pressed one-eye's broad, sturdy shoulder, "I've replenished 'power' many times before, such as finding treasure, evading the pursuit of the navy, and so on. The order I have given you this time is also to replenish the 'strength'. ”

One-Eye scratched his head, accepting the easier way of understanding the ritual, he nodded, "If that's the case, I'll do it with all my might, how many people are you going to recruit?" ”

"I've already figured out how to recruit as many people as possible, and I can set up a spot in all the taverns in the port, and whoever is willing to join will be rewarded with five silver coins on the spot. There are no requirements for anyone who comes to apply, as long as it is a person who is gasping for breath. However, these conditions only need to be maintained for three days, and after three days, all these idlers and others will be blasted out of the pirate group, and the high-standard recruitment will be restarted. Besides, you'll have to send someone to Christine's pirate group to find out how many of them have recruited, and my real goal is to recruit more than thirty more than them. ”

"If we do this, it is estimated that people will flock to it, and there will be a lot of people who are going to scam five silver coins and leave. It will be very troublesome to get rid of this group of people when the time comes, because we have recruited some ruffians and hooligans, and they are all unreasonable people. ”

"Don't worry, it's just that unreasonable people are easy to deal with, and reasonable people all day long are troublesome. Okay, you can do these things now. I had to go back and listen to Christine's story. Donk turned around from the corner and walked back to the Moon Lack Tavern.

One-eye didn't leave immediately, stared at Donk's back, and suddenly admonished: "Donkey, be careful of Christine, don't treat him as a friend, he has used annihilation to clean up many enemies, and it is very dangerous." ”

"Yes, I'll be careful."

Donk didn't look back, just raised his right hand and shook it.

…… Donk and Christine talked all night, and the two of them were so sleepy that they each found a beauty in the tavern, and directly found two adjoining rooms to live in. The two had no stakes, and the initial contact was quite pleasant, and the next day, Donk pestered Christine again. Christine was still so enthusiastic, not only telling the story, but also showing Donk his amazing stealing skills.

If Christine wanted to, he was able to steal the money bag without Donk's knowledge.

Judging from the day's time together, Donk felt that Christine had a special attraction, which was very bad, and at the same time shrewd and changeable, with the necessary personality charm of a pirate leader. If it weren't for Kristine's background, Donk would have regarded Kristen as a friend.

At a little free time of the day, Donk would go into the system to check the number of pirate groups, and he found that the number of pirate groups had grown rapidly throughout the day, reaching as many as five hundred, which was a bit unexpected to him, but a good sign.

In the evening, Donk and One-Eye meet again privately, this time in a private room in the tavern, with only glass lamps and rum as their company, and the curtains on the side raised elegantly by the night breeze.

"Things are going pretty well." Knowing the results of the day's recruitment, Donk smiled and toasted with One-Eye.

"All I can say is that the charm of five silver coins is enormous, and in just one day, I have recruited a full five hundred! Because there were so many people coming, I was busy just signing with them. There are also many people who are purely here to cheat money, and after getting five gold coins, they disappear! Damn, don't let me catch these pups, or I'm going to have to break them. One-Eyed was a little indignant when he said that.

"Yes, if we go on like this, we should win. By the way, Christine, how many people did they recruit? ”

"He only recruited in two taverns, and I sent someone to monitor them in the tavern, and I sent someone to pretend to join them. Judging from the detailed report, Christine only recruited more than sixty people in a day, which is much less than us. However, the men he recruited were elite soldiers, including swordsmen, gunners, archers, and captains. ”

"It's okay, after three days, we're going to recruit that kind of ruthless character too."

Donk continued to act separately from One-Eye, holding Christine steady on his side, lest Christine have time to ramp up his recruitment. And One-Eye's side has also done a good job of recruiting people. On the second day of the mission, the number of people recruited by Donk increased again, and he felt that he had already won the battle, and there was no need to recruit indiscriminately like this, so he informed One-Eye to change his previous recruitment strategy and cancel the reward of five silver coins.

The third day after the mission starts.

"Ding! You completed the 'Recruit Sailors Competition' quest to earn 1,300 bonus points! ”

A systematic voice swore that Tang Ke had won, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Listening to stories all day, my ears are about to hear calluses, and this is a relief, whew." ”

Donk then said goodbye to Christine, who did not express regret, was very happy when they parted, and wished Donk all the best. To Tangk's surprise, after three days of contact, his friendship with the ghost pirate group has increased a little, which can be regarded as a small gain. At least for now, Christine didn't make a move to calculate Donk, but he didn't tell much of the truth.

"Did it work? Have you gained strength? When One-Eye saw Donk again, the first thing he asked about it was this.

"Now that we have the strength, we can start to raise the standard of recruitment, and clean up the trash fish that we have recruited in the past three days." Donk mimics a gesture of cleaning up trash.

One-eyed nodded, then frowned and thought for a moment, and hesitated: "But if you drive people away directly, it will affect our reputation, and even affect our next recruitment, I feel that it should be handled a little more tactfully." ”

"That's right, such a capricious way of doing things is really awkward." Donk's eyes moved, and he tapped his palm with his fist, "Yes, I know what to do with these people!" Why do you have to drive them away? We can take advantage of them. ”

"Utilization?"

"That's right, but maybe it's just waste utilization."
