Volume 18 Chapter 173 The Ignored Intruder

With an order from the Frozen Banshee, soon the entire Russian Legion was moving. It's a little different from what we imagined, though. We thought they would at least make a full-fledged tentative attack on the garrisons in all directions, and then choose the direction of attack according to the strength of the defense, but the Russians didn't make any temptation at all and pushed directly towards the frontal line of our Frost Rose Alliance.

Rumble. With a loud bang, a large crater suddenly appeared in the ground around us, and the earth and stones kicked up by the explosion rained down on our armor with a clanging sound.

"Phew...... Phew. King Chuang spit out the dirt in his mouth and said, "Why am I so unlucky?" It's unlucky to drink salt water at sea, but you still have to eat soil on land."

I ignored King Chuang's complaints, but asked directly, "You are not commanding the fleet at sea, what are you doing here?" ”

"Isn't this like you asking for some questions?" King Chuang suddenly leaned up like a thief and whispered: "Our First Fleet Auxiliary Reconnaissance Formation has discovered a large underwater fleet in the area north of Japan, and according to our tracking observations, this fleet is a convoy from Russia, and they seem to be secretly transporting something to Japan. In order not to expose the situation that we have already discovered each other, I did not touch them, so as not to startle the snake. Do you think we're going to kill them all? Or what to do? ”

"That's what you're doing?" I looked at King Chuang with a little surprise. "Isn't it okay to inform the god of war?"

"Hehe, of course it's not entirely because of that." King Chuang smiled embarrassedly, then glared at me, then quietly pointed to our side and back with his hand. I followed his finger and glanced carefully in that direction, and saw a cute member of the Guild there talking to a few members of our Guild.

As soon as I saw the female member, I immediately reacted, this kid is faking the public. That MM is a relatively strong senior member of our guild, not to say how strong her combat effectiveness is, but her command ability is very outstanding. Although her battlefield micro-exercises are not as good as the god of war, and her macro strategy is not as good as Su Mei and Rose, considering that the above three are all perverted-level intelligence, this MM should also be regarded as the dragon and phoenix among people. But...... Although it's not strange that King Chuang fell in love with others, it was unfortunate that people didn't take a fancy to King Chuang, so King Chuang has been trying his best to get close to people, and this time he simply took the opportunity to report the situation and sneaked over to soak MM.

"You kid really picks the time"

"Hehe, is it normal for people" King Chuang smirked and touched the back of his head.

I thought about it and looked at the MM again, then turned my head directly to the other side and shouted, "Violet." ”

"In. What is the president? "The MM who was arranging tasks with the people around him immediately looked at my side, and King Chuang was so frightened that he quickly turned his back and didn't dare to look over there.

I hooked my finger at her, and then waited for her to come running over before saying, "Explain the task at hand, and then pick an amphibious combat team to follow the king." ”

Although the size of the little MM is really not small, it is definitely not a brainless type. After hearing my order, the people glanced at the king who was still pretending to be stupid, and then the big eyes turned to understand the reason, and then the little MM said with a little unhappiness: "If it is needed by the guild, I can carry out the order, even if I am * dropped a few times and fall up many levels, I don't care, but please don't interfere in my personal affairs, I don't want to say something unpleasant to make everyone look good." ”

Although I knew that people would resist, I didn't expect the little girl to have such a big personality. But what she said is not wrong at all, people are just members of the guild and our guild, and they are not selling themselves to me as a slave, people like whoever they like, we really can't control and shouldn't care. But...... Although I can't directly interfere with her thoughts, I can create opportunities for King Chuang.

"Yo, the anger is really not small, King Chuang likes you, that's someone else's business, I can't give an order to him not to like you, right? Of course, I'm not qualified to give an order for you to accept him, if you don't like him and don't accept it, why are you angry with me? ”

"But you just ......" She suddenly got stuck in the middle of her words, because she suddenly remembered that I just asked her to go with King Chuang, and I didn't say what to do, and before I said that, let her gather a group of people who are good at amphibious operations, is this clearly going to be a mission. As a high-ranking member of the guild, the combat mission issued by the executive president was a matter of course, and it seemed that she really had nothing to object to.

"Why don't you say it?" When I saw her stuck, I knew she had figured it out, so I deliberately asked her to make her feel more intense.

"I'm sorry, I was impulsive before. But you're interested in matching us, right? "Although I knew that I had overreacted before, I was a commanding talent, and my brain was much more flexible than ordinary people, so although I apologized immediately, my momentum was not weak at all.

Although the intelligence of the little girl is not low, but it is still a cut short of playing with me, not to mention that I am the president and she is a member, and the so-called official level crushes people to death, and we are not very equal in the identity of the dialogue. "I admit that I have plans to match, but that's my freedom, and I didn't order you to accept him, it's your freedom to accept it or not, I want to match you if you don't accept it, you can't start resisting because I have this idea, right? Besides, as long as I don't give orders about your personal issues, it's a guild mission, and what does it mean that you go against me as soon as you come up? ”

"I ......" the little girl wanted to refute but found that she couldn't find a reason at all, so she couldn't help but get stuck there and didn't know how to explain it.

I didn't give her much time to think, but instead changed my previous polite tone and ordered in a very strict tone: "Member Violet, I now officially order you to accept the special investigation mission in my capacity as the leader of the Frost Rose Alliance. In the process of commanding the fleet, the member Chuang Wang found a suspicious transport ship, and you must find a way to find out what is on the ship and the identity of the shipper and receiver after they dock, as well as other relevant information, and you can find out all of them. You are responsible for the specific combat arrangements, you pick the personnel yourself, and you are led by King Chuang before the end of the mission, and you can also ask him for specific mission information. Is the order clear? Or are you going to refuse to carry out the order? ”

"No, the order is accepted, and I'll arrange it." After Violet finished speaking, she immediately turned around and went to gather the personnel.

After watching her leave, I said to King Chuang: "Are you kid following behind people like a cheap dog all day long?" ”

"I don't," King Chuang said in a depressed defense: "You don't know, I'm at sea every day, but she's in the land command department, so we can't reach it at all, okay?" As for the cheap dog you said, is it too exaggerated? I'm just being gentle with her, and you don't have to call me a cheap dog, right? ”

"It's not me who says it, it's that she thinks so." I looked at King Chuang with a depressed face and said, "You are a fan of the authorities, and you can see the situation clearly from my point of view." Violet is not an ordinary girl at all, she is too smart and has a strong personality. Just now she dared to directly hard top me, the head of the guild with high prestige and super combat power, you can imagine what kind of character she is. For a girl like her, it is useless for you to beg for care in a low voice. No, I'm wrong, it's not that it's useless, it's counterproductive. The more gentle and considerate you are to her, the more she will think you are useless and think you are very cheap. ”

"Isn't it?" After listening to my words, King Chuang's face directly became a big 'embarrassment'. "I said why is her attitude towards me getting worse and worse now?"

"If you pursue her like this again, sooner or later she will think of you as a real leper dog."

"So what should I do?"

"Turn everything you did upside down."

"Upside down?" King Chuang looked at me in surprise, and I didn't understand how this was going to happen.

I couldn't help but knock him and said, "I don't understand this? Listen. From now on, you don't have any special tendencies towards her, treat her as an ordinary subordinate of yours, no, don't be an ordinary subordinate, but treat her as a subordinate that you don't like very much. ”

"What do you mean by subordinates you don't like?"

"It's the hardest and most tiring work for her to do, don't praise her too hard, and scold her to death if she makes a mistake."

"Isn't that a wholehearted?"

"I didn't let you deliberately trouble her. If she didn't do anything wrong, you won't say anything about her, whether she should be praised or praised, and whether she should be criticized or criticized, it's just that the reward is reduced and the punishment is doubled. Also, don't be lowly when you usually contact her, you are her superior and not her follower, what are you polite to her? Even if you take out the murderous aura when you commanded the fleet battle, usually put a refrigerator face to show her, and yell at her if there is an emergency. ”

"Isn't it, Boss? I don't want to stick to anyone now, if I treat her like this, she won't treat me as a class enemy? ”

"You don't understand that, do you?" I smiled and said, "People are different. It's absolutely right to use your gentle offensive against ordinary MM, but you definitely can't be too gentle against Violet, who has a strong woman personality. She doesn't want a little man, but a hero who can conquer her. ”

Hearing this, King Chuang immediately jumped up and shouted, "Haha, I understand. That's what I'll do. ”

"You understand what you understand, you understand? I'm not done yet. I'm asking you to show heroism in front of her, not letting you turn yourself into a butcher. Although you should be cold to her on the surface, you must not really be cold to her. First of all, you have to increase your probability of being around her, although you can be a little bad towards her, but you must be around her from time to time to make her notice you. Also, you can discipline her, you can murder her, but you must pay attention to one situation. As long as she doesn't admit defeat and fights with you, you have to be tougher than her, but once she collapses, for example, when she is scolded and cried by you, it is time for you to show your gentle side. But be careful, gentleness is not the same as splashing, you just need to be a little gentle, such as handing a handkerchief or something, even OK, don't coax her for a long time, at most say a word or two to comfort her, leave when you're done, don't die by her side. ”

"I understand this."

"So what are you waiting for? Go and take her away. Remember to be a little fierce. ”

"Understood."

As soon as I turned around, I found Rose looking at me with a strange smile, and my heart was furious.

"Didn't you expect you to have a lot of experience in this area?" Rose asked in a deliberately weird way.

I hurriedly hugged the rose and said, "Oh, how can my wife be so clever and deceived by my little tricks?" I learned this from you, you're so smart, I've naturally learned a lot of things over time?"

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to bother with you." With that, Rose handed me a crystal ball.

I took it and injected a small amount of mana to see what was going on inside and asked, "What is this?" ”

"The latest achievement of the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute, but this is not something we were originally going to study, it is purely a by-product. Function is ......"

"Needless to say, I see"

As Rose was about to explain the purpose of this thing, I had already tried to see what it could do. In fact, the function of this thing is very simple, it is nothing more than a magic battery that can be punched. When you have enough mana, you can use your own mana to recharge this crystal ball like releasing magic, and it can't be accumulated when the mana value is full anyway, so it's better to charge this crystal ball than to waste it. Moreover, when you are short of mana in battle, you can absorb the mana in the crystal ball and quickly replenish your mana, which is equivalent to increasing the upper limit of mana, and its function is basically similar to the function of my equipment called mana ball, but there are some differences in details.

My magic ball is a high-level piece of equipment made by the system, and this crystal ball is a guild's own equipment. The storage amount of the mana ball is not fixed, but the mana storage amount of this crystal ball is a fixed value. Depending on the user, my Mana Orb can generate up to 10 times the user's total mana value, and the amount of this crystal ball is less than one-tenth of my total mana to me. However, although it seems that the storage of magic balls is high, crystal balls can be mass-produced, so the problem of the storage limit is not obvious, and it is a big deal to bring a few more with you.

In addition, my mana ball is obviously much more efficient than this one. When replenishing mana, the mana ball is replenished at a rate of ten to one, that is, if I consume ten mana points of my own, the mana in the mana ball will increase a little, but the replenishment ratio of the crystal ball is one-twentieth, and the replenishment efficiency is only half of that of the mana ball. But that's not the point, the point is that the replenishment and extraction of the magic ball are unintervaled, that is, when my mana value is full, it will automatically start replenishing, and I don't need to care about it, and when I use the mana, it will give priority to consuming the mana in the magic ball, which is also unintervaled, and you don't have to operate it yourself at all. But the crystal ball is different, it does not automatically recharge, the user must actively input mana into it, and it takes time to enter, not that you touch it and complete it immediately, but it consumes different amounts of time depending on the amount of mana filled. It takes about a minute for the crystal ball in my hand to fully fill. Also, even if the Mana Orb is full, it will not automatically replenish the user when the user consumes mana, but must be absorbed manually by the user, and this absorption rate is exactly the same as the refill rate. That is, how long it takes you to fill a crystal ball, it will take the same amount of time to suck out the magic inside. From this point of view, this crystal ball is actually not suitable for returning demons in battle, after all, there is generally no time for you to stop and return demons on the battlefield. In contrast, the Healing Potion, which does not affect the battle as long as it is thrown into the mouth, may be a little more useful.

Although the purpose of this magic crystal ball is a bit terrible, I am quite happy with this thing. In any case, it can replace at least part of the function of medicine. Although it is not suitable for use in battle, if you have a large number of people, it is also a good idea to take turns to exit the battle circle during the battle to replenish the demons. Also, I think it's very versatile if it's on the battlefield. For example, this can come in handy when a mage group uses a large combined spell. Generally, when using large-scale combined spells, the mage and the battlefield are far away, so the mage itself does not have to worry about its own safety, as long as a spell release is completed, the mages can rest assured that the magic in the crystal ball can quickly return to the magic for the next spell release. Although this crystal ball needs to be operated manually, its mana recovery speed is still very fast after all, at least compared to the medicine, it is much faster to recover the mana value per unit time, but the medicine does not need to be operated by people, so it is more suitable for use in battle. In addition, I think the biggest advantage of this thing is actually the money saving.

It doesn't matter what kind of medicine it is, it costs money. The magic in the crystal ball is the excess magic that the player charges in when he is not fighting, except for the cost of the crystal ball itself, the magic power is completely free of money, so that each player can save a lot of money when leveling up, and the cost of medicine that we need to reimburse in guild battles is estimated to be reduced a lot.

"How much does this thing cost?"

"I promise you won't guess." Rose said with a smug smile.

"Isn't it cheap?" With Rose's personality as a fan of money, she can be so proud, this thing must be cheap and super imaginative.

Sure enough, after hearing my question, Rose immediately replied with a smile: "Of course, the raw material of this thing is the scrapped white magic crystal, and our guild is all about tons, even if some items can consume some, but the demand is very small, and the amount we produce every day is not proportional at all." Well, the excess scrapped white magic crystals can be used to produce this, and we only need to spend a little processing fee. ”

"And how much does it cost?"
