Chapter 8: The Mage's Apprentice Turns Gorgeously (Part II)
Li Ruiliu was followed by several units of troops advancing westward, each with different tasks, some responsible for mineral exploration, some responsible for building roads, some responsible for clearing out bandits around the communication lines, some responsible for building communication networks, and some responsible for building power grids...... All in all, the colonial corporation has moved the human construction to hell.
There is a large number of free labor, and there are unlimited network construction resources that are no different from cheats, so that the construction work is carried out as fast as flying.
Li Ruiliu marched forward in a straight line, marching 300 miles a day, and less than a thousand miles behind his ass was a high-standard cement highway that was rapidly extending forward, and on the highway line, every 200 miles was a newly built town, mainly used for stockpiling all kinds of materials and repairing troops, of course, the more important role was to radiate the periphery, this thing is probably the same as the effect of planting a flag in a new country that has not been expanded to a territory, and the meaning of Mingli and Neili is telling everyone that this place is ours.
With such a large team, they are naturally unwilling to be an ordinary builder in a wild world.
Just kidding, they are colonial invaders, if they don't burn, kill and loot, but come to build, they don't want to make people laugh off their big teeth.
But the explored area east of the Ghost River is really disappointing, not only is the resources poor, but those so-called demon kings are also poor, the richer ones are probably comparable to the captain of a natural tun, and the poor ones have nothing but a few subordinates who are hard-pulled, and the most cheap is the territory of a so-called demon king that Li Ruiliu captured a few days ago. That demon king didn't even have a piece of clothing, and the so-called territory was a floating platform that he had seized, so he didn't have to endure the pain of burning the ground on the ground, leading more than 100 of his subordinates, and lying on the platform all day long to eat and sleep. A magistrate wants to ask, this demon king doesn't work, what does he eat? You don't know this.,This demon king is a kind of stone.,His subordinates are all of the same race.,Usually eat stones to be full.,Occasionally eat stones and get tired of eating and want to improve your life.,Will catch two wandering evil ghosts to eat.。
Advancing all the way forward for 50,000 miles, the natives caught were all lazy and lazy, and the things they grabbed were only tattered, which made all the mages of the westward troops feel very sad and angry.
Nima's, is this hell? It won't be a slum with the same name as hell.
The only thing that can be comforted is that although this place is poorer and more desolate, there are at least a lot of special plants, among which the highest economic value is the magic flower. The first big business that Yong Bowen did in Hell was to sign a package of exchange agreements with the Chengshi Company, and the two sides directly exchanged materials according to the normal cost price comparison and exchanged the magic Ying pollen for weapons. After appreciating the agreement, Yong Bowen immediately vigorously promoted the cultivation of magic flowers, and planted all the suitable plots within nearly 10,000 miles around the main colonial city with magic flowers. With a sufficient supply of large quantities of magic pollen, Yu Chengshi moved the manufacturing base to Hell, bringing the production of magic weapons to a new level.
Of course, if Yong Bowen was willing to make Demon Ying Pollen into Demon Soul Essence Powder and sell it as a drug, he would definitely make more money, but he had seen the terrifying appearance of Xiao Qingheng after he became a demon, and he was deeply disgusted by this kind of drug, so naturally he would not do such a harmful thing.
In addition to the Demon Flower, there are also many special plants in Hell that have different uses, so in the westward expansion troops, there is also a professional team responsible for collecting wild Hell special plants for research and cultivation.
Of course, these are only beneficial to the company, but there is no benefit to the mages who are pioneering, and the mages are naturally a little angry in their hearts, especially Li Ruiliu, who is at the forefront, has not left any benefits behind, and is in a hurry. You must know that Yong Bowen has announced that in the exploration of hell, no matter what is found (in fact, the implicit meaning is the proceeds of looting), the discoverer can get a share of 30% of the profit.
So far, Li Ruiliu's share of 30% of the profits has been all in tatters.
Of course, he has captured a lot of natives and evil ghosts, but now the company is going all out to build, and there is an extreme lack of labor, so for the time being, all the captured aborigines and evil ghosts must be handed over to the company for unified processing.
This fire in Li Ruiliuwo reached its peak after a clash with the fire dragoons.
In this conflict, Li Ruiliu lost twenty demon puppets and the demons operating in them.
This was the first casualty since Li Ruiliu's westward advance.
Evil puppets don't need money, and it's not heart-wrenching.
It's all made out of computer games.
After the second generation of the Ghost Converter was released publicly, the secret was revealed.
In the laptop that Li Ruiliu now carries with him, there are more than 200 spare Gundam puppets to replace the damaged puppets at any time.
The reason why the appearance of the machine is still used is that on the one hand, it is the bad taste of the big boss Yong Bowen, and on the other hand, it is also because this appearance is very suitable for installing various external weapons, and it looks quite harmonious and pleasing to the eye after installation.
However, there is a lack of demons who operate the puppets.
Not all hellish demons are qualified to operate puppets and participate in the development forces.
Only the demons of hell who have proven their loyalty are eligible.
And these demons who are qualified to operate the puppets are also part of all the natives and demons of hell in the highest echelons of the company.
Of course, Li Ruiliu is not heartbroken by the loss of the evil ghost, what makes him feel annoyed is that since the westward advance, there has been no loss in all departments, and it happened to him, which is really faceless.
So when he first met Huo Ying face to face, he was very unkind, and he was thinking in his heart that after asking questions, he would kill these natives directly.
However, after a brief interrogation, Li Ruiliu was immediately overjoyed, and he left that unhappiness behind.
From Huo Ying's words and the powerful combat power of the Fire Dragoons that were completely different from those previous demon kings, he realized that there was a Hell Native Realm of considerable scale in the vast territory west of the Ghost River.
Li Ruiliu immediately took Huo Ying back to the base at Qiaotou and had a brief interrogation with the other three human mages who sent the pioneer troops.
Although Huo Ying explained unclearly and concealed a lot of information, just what was revealed was enough to shock Li Ruiliu and the others.
