Chapter 64: The Mercenary System
The second thing, "Good news for you." Li Wenbin glanced at the three of them and said with a smile, "As a reward for today's battle, I am going to build a set of equipment for each of you." ”
"What?! Are you sure? ”
"Long live the castle lord!"
As soon as Li Wenbin's words fell, Liu Yajun and Tang Minghui were so happy that they almost jumped up, extremely excited.
Although they are evolutionaries, they can't resist the virus infection carried by zombies, so they are very greedy for Li Wenbin's cool equipment, and now when they hear that they will have such equipment immediately, how can the two of them not be happy.
Compared with the excitement of Liu Yajun and Tang Minghui, Wu Yang was a little contradictory, with both expectation and regret on his face.
Li Wenbin keenly discovered it and asked, "Wuyang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Wu Yang opened his mouth, and finally, gritted his teeth, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't ask for your equipment." ”
"Why?"
Li Wenbin didn't ask, Liu Yajun and the two couldn't help but speak, they are both students of the same school, the two are no strangers to Wu Yang, the former captain of the basketball team, plus they are both evolutionaries, and they have fought side by side today, the relationship between the three can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.
Li Wenbin didn't speak, but there was doubt in his eyes.
Wu Yang was silent for a moment, and then explained: "As the saying goes, no merit is not rewarded, the reason why I can't ask for this set of equipment is because I plan to leave here after tomorrow and go outside to break in." ”
"What? Wuyang, you have a problem with your brain, right? This is the end of the world, and you still go out to break through, haven't you woken up! ”
Hearing this, Liu Yajun and the two were shocked and looked at Wuyang in disbelief.
"Yes, we have food and drink here, and it's safe, everyone else is squeezing their heads and trying to come in, it's good for you to want to go out."
The two hated iron and persuaded Wuyang.
However, Wu Yang seemed to be iron-hearted, and did not speak or refute.
"Reason." Li Wenbin stretched out his hand to stop Liu Yajun and the two, and looked at Wuyang calmly.
Being stared at by Li Wenbin, Wu Yang was unconsciously a little nervous, and said after a while: "You may laugh at me if you say it, in fact, I have always had a chivalrous dream, looking forward to the day when I can fight the sword like the ancient chivalrous man, happy and chic." ”
"Originally, I was just fantasizing, but now, in this world of great change, I suddenly feel that I can fulfill my long-held dream, so I don't plan to stay. It's nice and safe, but it's not what I want to live with. ”
It can be seen that Wu Yang has already made up his mind, and his eyes are full of determination.
This is a man with dreams.
Li Wenbin was silent, and the scene was slightly solemn.
In the end, Li Wenbin stepped forward, patted Wu Yang's shoulder, and said, "Since this is your dream, I have no reason to stop you." But I have an idea here that you can consider. ”
"What thoughts?" Wu Yang said curiously.
Li Wenbin said: "I plan to set up a mercenary system in my city and issue some tasks. You can form your own mercenary group, and I won't have any restrictions on you, except that you will abide by the rules of the city and do everything you can to protect the city in the event of a life or death. ”
"The mercenary group has a lot of freedom, you can earn points by completing tasks, or you can go out to find supplies and trade with me by yourself, what do you think?"
After Li Wenbin finished speaking, he quietly waited for Wu Yang's answer.
Wu Yang quickly analyzed the mercenary system that Li Wenbin said in his mind, and soon, he smiled and said, "If you can really do what you say, then I'll stay." ”
He is not a stupid person, the main reason why he wants to leave is because this is Li Wenbin's private territory, and if he wants to stay, he has to obey Li Wenbin's command.
After the previous incident of Huang Tingyi, Wu Yang was tired of such days, and had already decided to go it alone and form his own team, not to compete for hegemony, but to live in style in the last days.
Li Wenbin also saw this, so he put forward this suggestion to dispel Wu Yang's concerns.
The mercenary system is not a whim of Li Wenbin, this is an idea he has had for a long time, but now it has been implemented in advance.
Whether it is in peacetime or in the last days, no one wants to send people under the fence all the time. The mercenary system can greatly stimulate the interest and desire/desire of the survivors, so that they have the opportunity to give full play to their abilities.
The mercenary system has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the establishment of the mercenary system can greatly reduce Li Wenbin's resource burden, but it allows him to put most of his energy on his fortress and subordinates.
The shortcomings are also obvious, Li Wenbin will lose the right to control the outsiders in the fortress as he is now, and as a result, some bloody and ugly things will inevitably occur.
This cannot be eradicated, and Li Wenbin has not thought of building an ideal 'utopia', which is the unchanging rule of nature for hundreds of millions of years.
What he has to do is to quickly strengthen himself, so strong that no matter how powerful the mercenary group is, they don't dare to bark their teeth at him, and they don't dare to mess around in his city, that is enough.
For human beings, there is no eternal loyalty, only eternal interests.
Li Wenbin, who has experienced the end of the world for three years, understands this very well, since he got the 'Doomsday Fortress', he has no intention of establishing the power of the human race, he only believes in the subordinates he has summoned, and only they will not betray him.
As for the survivor, with him it is more like an employment relationship, where he pays the survivor himself, and the survivor works for himself, builds the city for himself, and that's it.
After getting Wu Yang's answer, Li Wenbin smiled and said, "Don't worry, starting tomorrow, I will let people be in charge of management, and I believe it will be established soon." Of course, since you don't work for me, I can't give you this set of equipment. ”
Without waiting for Wu Yang to speak, Li Wenbin continued: "However, you can exchange things for them." ”
Wu Yang was disappointed at first, and then hurriedly asked, "What do you need to exchange for it?" Points? ”
"No, no, no." Li Wenbin shook his head and said, "This equipment is designed for the strong people above the first order, and ordinary people wear it, except for defensive power, it has no effect." So, in exchange for this set of equipment, you need something more valuable. ”
"What's that?"
Not only Wu Yang, but even Liu Yajun and Tang Minghui were curious.
"First-order crystal nucleus." Li Wenbin didn't sell it, and said: "Zombies will slowly evolve and become stronger, and when their strength reaches the first order, their heads will condense crystal nuclei like evolutionaries. And if you want to exchange for this set of equipment, you need ten first-order crystal nuclei. ”
"Ten!?"
Hearing this, Wu Yang was taken aback.
Regarding some basic information about strength, Li Wenbin didn't hide it from them, so they knew very well the strength of the first-order zombies, and because of this, they knew very well what the ten first-order crystal nuclei represented.
"What? Think it's expensive? Looking at Wuyang's performance, Li Wenbin didn't mind, and said directly: "This is still a friendship price for you." The longer the time drags on, the number of first-order zombies will increase, and at that time, the price of this set of equipment will definitely be more than ten crystal nuclei. ”
When Wu Yang heard this, he immediately came to his senses, Li Wenbin was obviously taking care of himself. With equipment, your strength will increase, and the speed of obtaining crystal nuclei will be faster, which is a trade that will definitely not be lost.
So, he hurriedly said, "No problem, I agreed." ”
