Chapter 727: The Old Man of Songyun Ancient Town
What is most lacking in the base? Lack of people. Since the existing adventurers can't keep up with the operation of the base, let's recruit more. With the presence of magic guns, even ordinary people can be qualified for guarding tasks, and there are not many fantasy coins needed to recruit an ordinary person.
With a monthly salary of 500 fantasy coins, there are many ordinary people who have no place to live and are willing to leave the camp and become the guards of the base. These people are the descendants of adventurers, but they do not have the ability of adventurers, they cannot go on missions, but to survive, they can only do some service work in the camp and earn a living expenses. Now you can make money, and the risk factor is not high, why not?
Luo Han didn't need more, just recruited a hundred people, and only needed to pay 50,000 fantasy coins a month, and the cost of food was lower, with his current assets, it was completely drizzle. With a hundred guards armed with magic guns, and the magic energy fluctuation cannon that can be used at any time, even a red adventure group like the green lion would not dare to attack easily.
Nearly seven million from the Gravedigger Alliance, about four million left after privately dividing forty percent of the Wild Lion, plus seven million after the bounty and selling antiques, after deducting various expenses, the 90 million required by the task has been completed in the early 10 million. But more than ten days have passed, and it is impossible for such a good thing as the gravedigger base to happen often, and relying on the income of the adventure group alone can only be a fool's dream. After Luo Han spent two days dealing with the affairs of the base, he began to work on the block's money-making plan.
But at this time, Qi Tao came back with a not-so-good news, and the block used was not a fantasy coin. To be precise, fantasy coins are currencies that only circulate in major camps, and only when camps purchase daily necessities from neighborhoods, fantasy coins will flow to neighborhoods and enter banks. Neighborhood residents can exchange Fantasy Coins for Fantasy Coins at a very low exchange rate when they come to camp, but they cannot exchange Fantasy Coins for Neighborhood Currency unless they are a public servant. Once the number of Fantasy Coins in the camp is too high, the block will increase the price of the materials to be delivered, collect the Fantasy Coins, and control the camp's finances. After all, adventurers are a group of wage earners who are oppressed by the neighborhood.
This means that Luo Han can't sell the antiques he has privately held in the neighborhood for fantasy coins, and a business that may be worth tens of millions becomes meaningless.
It is foreseeable that this time, a sum of tens of millions of fantasy coins will flow into Camp 55, and the price of basic materials will inevitably soar next month, bringing about a crazy inflation of prices. Even if Luo Han exchanged a large amount of fantasy coins through some means, it would not be able to withstand the consumption caused by crazy prices. Although those who hold most of the wealth are more tolerant of soaring prices, once the adventurers at the bottom encounter the pressure of survival, they will inevitably rush to rush for tasks, causing the share of Storm Adventure to decline.
Luo Han was very distressed, through the news that Qi Tao got in the block, he knew the essence of the camp, and it was basically impossible to complete the task step by step. The camp itself cannot produce basic living materials, and it depends on the neighborhood. And the only way to earn Fantasy Coins from the neighborhood is through the Adventurer Quest. According to statistics, the total commission for completing tasks in Camp 55 is only about 5 million per month, which is slightly more when encountering red tasks. According to Luo Han's estimate, not counting the nearly 20 million fantasy coins injected this time, the total fantasy coins in Camp 55 are only more than 20 million. With the economic control of the camp by the block, let alone three months, even if it is three years, it is impossible to earn 90 million here.
Qi Tao and Nightmare stayed in the neighborhood to continue to investigate information, and Luo Han had no goal for a while, so he could only continue his daily life.
A few days later, at the end of the month, with the delivery of a new batch of basic supplies, the price of Camp 55 skyrocketed by 50%, and the rent also rose by 50%. And it is reported that such prices will be maintained for several months, so that a large number of adventurers who are ready to cut back on food and clothing to survive the difficulties give up their luck and begin to take on tasks more desperately. The Storm Adventure Group was also affected, although Luo Han generously provided free standard food, ensuring that the members of the group would not starve to death even if they did not accept the task, but the expenses of the adventurers who spent a lot of money were also amazing, and they worked hard to do the tasks one by one, resulting in the original one-week target being completed in only four days. If it was normal, Luo Han would naturally be happy to continue to take on the task, but in an extraordinary period, the storm plundered a large number of tasks, which would inevitably cause the hostility of other adventurers, but if he didn't accept it, it would make the members of the adventure group dissatisfied, and Luo Han fell into a tangle.
If one stage of the task can be completed by taking more tasks, Luo Han will definitely not hesitate. But since taking on the task is also a drop in the bucket, Luo Han simply gave everyone a vacation after thinking about it again and again, and let them go to the bar to choose the task by themselves.
The Storm Adventure Troupe station, which was usually crowded with people, suddenly became deserted, and only a few adventurers who were not weak were not very short of money, and they didn't bother to compete with other adventurers, so they stayed in the internal bar of the adventure group in the station.
Luo Han sat boredly at the table in the middle and poured himself a drink, Jenny walked over with two teenagers and said bluntly: "Commander, we have a task that we need your help with. ”
Luo Han had a little impression of these three people, Meng Fei had talked about them when he was chatting, and there was an oriental boy in it that people could see at a glance.
"If you need help, you can submit an application. However, it is only a mission provided by the party, and if it is a private mission, it depends on the situation. ”
It depends on the situation, which means that the remuneration is enough to make people happy. If it is a mission provided by the party, there are standard distribution rules, and the party core cannot refuse to help for no reason.
Jenny pursed her red lips and said, "To be precise, it's not a mission provided by the block...... It's my own business, or you can understand it, I hired you to help. ”
"Hire me?" Luo Han was a little curious: "I only take missions above four stars." You should be clear about the remuneration. ”
After all, not long after they joined the adventure group, Luo Han did not show too affection, and he had a completely businesslike attitude. This is also human nature, and the members of the adventure group did not come because they admired Luo Han's heroic appearance, they were all working, and they might have feelings after a long time, just for more than ten days, they were all out on missions on weekdays, and there was not much intersection, so forget it.
Jenny also understood this, and said seriously: "The three of us have earned a total of 30,000 commissions these days, which is enough to pay for a four-star mission." ”
Luo Han touched his nose, there are 30,000 people in three people, these three people always act together, and it seems that they have completed several three-star tasks, and their strength is not bad.
"Tell me, what services do you need?" Give money and you are not my employee now, but my God, Luo Han has a clear distinction between public and private.
"We're going to Songyun Ancient Town."
Luo Han frowned: "There is an enemy? ”
Songyun Ancient Town is a special existence near Camp 55. There lived a group of Oriental people, who were isolated from the world and backward in productivity, but had a strong classical cultural atmosphere. There are often quests that require adventurers to go to Songyun Ancient Town to collect some research value, and Luo Han saw in the camp that those people in ancient costumes were adventurers who had returned from Songyun Ancient Town.
In addition to Songyun Ancient Town, there are several other special population settlements, which have the same characteristics, that is, backward productivity and isolation from the world. According to what Qi Tao recently heard in the neighborhood, these ancient towns and the like existed a long time ago when the camps first opened, and there were several near each camp. No one knows how they came to be, but their cultures are highly researchable, and whenever a neighborhood needs to learn a certain cultural detail, quests are issued for adventurers to dive into. The difficulty of this kind of task is that the residents of these places are more xenophobic, will not cooperate with adventurers, and often need to grind for a long time and use their brains to solve problems. The advantage is that there is generally no danger to life, and it is suitable for some adventurers with average strength and flexible mind.
Since there is generally no danger to life, Jenny's intention to find Luo Han is naturally worth studying. Jenny didn't hide it, nodded and said, "I'm going to visit a friend who may be an enemy, I'm not sure if he will attack me, so I need your protection, the head of the regiment." ”
"How strong?"
"It's hard to say, he hasn't shot in a long time."
Luo Han thought for a while and nodded: "If the time is not too long, you can." ”
Jenny nodded gratefully: "It won't be too long, we can go and see him to confirm his attitude." ”
Luo Han picked up the wine bottle on the table, drank it all, and put down the wine bottle: "Let's leave now?" ”
"Let's go now."
Out of the camp, buy the clothes of Songyun Ancient Town and change them into, sit in the teleportation array, and after two transformations, the four of them came to a small city without walls. This is the ancient town of Songyun, which is said to be a town, which was called a long time ago. In fact, after a long period of development, there are already tens of thousands of people here, and it is for this reason that today's adventurers have the opportunity to mix in it. Of course, this is the setting of the scene.
Luo Han looked at Jenny: "Are you sure that you can't make people suspicious when you go in like this?" ”
Jenny and Troy are typically Westerners, and their hair color is obvious, and unless they are fools, they can be seen at a glance. Although it is not here to lurk, but the people here have always been not very enthusiastic about outsiders, and it is easy to add trouble, although it is rare to kill, it is common to bully it, but you must know that the people of Songyun Ancient Town are good at martial arts.
Jenny took out a folding cloak and put it on her head: "That's it." ”
Troy made the same move, apparently prepared.
Luo Han nodded: "Do you know where it is?" ”
Jenny shook her head: "I don't know, I have to ask." To be honest, this is my first time here. ”
So the four of them began to ask for directions, and the responsibility of asking for directions was given to Li Mian, who was of pure Oriental blood, and even if it was seen that he was an outsider, he would not be in great trouble.
Songyun Ancient Town is a settlement that radiates outward from the central location, and beyond the dense housing area is a large area of farmland. The people here are all in ancient costumes, and according to the news of the adventurers who have been here in the past, the leader here is the patriarch, and there are clan elders below, who are in charge of different affairs. There is a 20-strong escort team here, and it is responsible for policing and driving away outsiders. In addition, there are hunter groups organized by the villagers themselves, who usually hunt in the surrounding mountains and forests, and if outsiders come to them, they will also cooperate with the escort team.
The settlement of tens of thousands of people, not everyone knows each other, Li Mian relied on his pure oriental blood and ancient etiquette learned in advance, and did not receive questions from the people here, and after asking the three people, he got the answer he wanted, and led the other three people to walk straight in the other direction.
Luo Han heard Li Mian ask about a person named Chen Yan, who was a doctor. Sure enough, after walking for a while, I came to a medical center, and there was a signboard hanging outside the door, which read "Rejuvenation Medical Center".
Li Mian took the lead in walking into the medical hall, and there was only one gray-haired old man sitting at the counter drinking tea leisurely, and when he saw the four of them, he asked, "What are the four of you doing?" ”
Jenny and Troy took off their cloaks, and Luo Han blew the door shut with a light breeze and waited for the situation to develop.
After the two took off their cloaks, the white-haired old man's face obviously changed, a little surprised but not very thick.
"You're finally here." The old man sighed, put down the teacup and said, "Are they okay?" ”
Jenny bowed her head and said respectfully, "They're all good. Mr. Chen Yan, don't come unharmed? ”
Chen Yan smiled and said: "Okay, good, the people here are very simple, I am here to treat and save people, and they all respect me." ”
No wonder this old man, an outsider, was able to live here for a long time, because he was a doctor. In the ancient culture of the East, a physician is a respected profession, people have birth, old age and sickness, a good physician can make people suffer a lot less, so even if he is an outsider, as long as he abides by the rules here and is willing to cure the sick and save people, the people here will not drive him away, but will respect him as a living bodhisattva.
Jenny said quietly: "The old gentleman is doing well, and the captain of Parson is doing well, but the other brothers of Clover are not doing well. ”
Chen Yan seemed to be a little touched and asked, "How are the old brothers?" ”
Jenny said: "Old sir, you have left Clover for five years, in the past few years, the head of Parson was still in order, and the clover adventure group was thriving in his hands, but as he was in power for longer and longer, the head of Parson began to expose his ambitions, and used various reasons to let the old brother you left behind retreat into the background, and carried out servile management of other members of the group, saying nothing in the whole group, and the head of Parsons was nepotistic and connived at cronies. Old sir, you may not know, I was violated by one of the cronies of the head of Parth, killed the other party in the process of resistance, and was finally forced out of the clover by the head of Parth. ”
Chen Yan sighed: "I didn't expect Perth to become like this. Then why did you come to me this time? ”
Jenny stared at Chen Yan for a long time before she spoke: "I hope that the old gentleman can return to Clover to preside over the overall situation, abolish the position of the head of Parth, and choose a new leader to revive the prestige of the Clover Adventure Group." Please! ”
The two teenagers bowed their heads together and said in unison, "Please!" ”
