From the perspective of the game space of the gods, Rhodes' first target for recruiting contractors should actually be humans!
After all, in the previous life, the name of the human being's "Spirit of All Things" was not nonsense, as a point of view from the point of view of quantity, wisdom, or the place where Rhodes itself is now, it should be the best choice for the early development contractor of the gods game space.
Of course, the biggest problem facing recruiting contractors is still in the world's excessively high level of force and the nascent gods game space!
When he was weak and faced with a world where the force of a single body was too strong, it was undoubtedly too risky to recruit human contractors on a large scale on the family territory on which he currently depended, and Rhodes' own concerns were understandable, and the failure of the xenocontractors and the fact that they would definitely face this problem in the future made Rhodes once again focus on how to secretly develop human contractors while trying not to attract the attention of others.
For this reason, Rhodes even changed the name of the main god space to the gods game space, so that the first reaction of the contractor after entering the future will be on the ethereal and ethereal gods, rather than thinking that this special space may be owned by someone. Even Rhodes had the idea of separating the current game space of the gods on multiple levels and maintaining a rather mysterious sense in his heart
Well, of course, that's the next thing to do, and at the moment Rhodes still needs to think about how to recruit human contractors in a way that doesn't involve the Ernst family and himself.
"Ordinary people such as farmers and townspeople don't need to think about it, they can't be used in a short period of time and are easy to attract attention."
"Soldiers, knights, and the like are very suitable for absorption, but whether it is a family or other aspects, this choice is too easy to involve oneself, and it is not very suitable!"
"Other noble territories, huh? It doesn't seem to cover much of the area, and it's a little too close."
Looking at the light screen in front of him, Rod carefully screened and eliminated those options that seemed or felt dangerous one after another - too much death or attention-grabbing behavior was not Rode's original intention, and he passed it directly!
"It seems that the only target can be on those mercenaries!"
After sifting through it, Rhodes set his sights on the caravans escorting to Ernst, or simply the mercenaries in the Far North Mountains.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Mercenary!
On Earth, the term conjures up images of well-known security companies such as Blackwater, which is said to have more than 100,000 people and even appears on news broadcasts. Those security companies that even have planes, tanks, and warships can even fight against second- and third-rate countries if they are all pulled out, and they will be a mess!
Of course, in this alien world of swords and sorcery with terrifying levels of personal force, the profession of a mercenary is not a very promising profession - as well as on Earth.
Basically, most of the mercenaries are fledgling hairy boys or guys who are not too strong, and those who are really strong can mix well anywhere, so why bother to do mercenaries like this?
As for those powerful mercenary groups in the magical novels who act as stepping stones for the protagonists?
Well, not to mention the combination of mercenaries who work alone or in small groups, the fiefdom nobles and kingdoms in various places alone will not allow those large mercenary groups that can threaten them to appear. Three hundred is the upper limit of the number of mercenary groups in various places with the acquiescence of the nobles and the royal family, and any more mercenary groups will be subjected to various targeted actions!
For example, bribery, policy restrictions, etc., the nobles and royal families who have the advantage of force and righteousness can easily split up mercenary groups that exceed the standard, so that they no longer have the danger to themselves.
Of course, Rhodes didn't need to pay attention to that, because his goal was to carefully absorb those mercenaries in Ernst's territory, rather than thinking about how to limit the mercenary group from becoming bigger, which should be something that other nobles and members of the royal family should consider.
"Five hundred and seventy-two"
Looking at the shabby number counted by the game space of the gods in front of him, Rod's brows began to entangle again.
I have to say that as a mercenary who can come out and eat with the sword in his hand, he is at least a gray iron rank of the storage zài. In the game space of the gods, this kind of gray iron rank contractor does not correspond to the gray rank true spirit brand, but needs the white rank true spirit brand to be able to turn it into a contractor 100% successfully.
Of course, more than five hundred white-rank True Spirit Brands are nothing to the current god game space, but the problem is that Rhodes feels that it seems a little too cheap to bring these more than five hundred mercenaries into the main god space at once. And for the current gods game space, it seems too crowded to collect more than 500 contractors at once, and it is impossible for Rhodes himself to take the initiative to stand up and give guidance to those guys who have just entered the gods game space, right?
According to the expressions of the goblins and gnolls he had seen before, Rhodes had every reason to believe that most of the mercenaries would feel a little dazed and ignorant even if they received some information from the game space of the gods after entering. As for getting acquainted with the gods play space? That's not something that can be done in a while.
"Don't you need a guide, the gods game space needs a mysterious feeling, if those guys find it possible to ask and be familiar with it, the mysterious and powerful feeling will gradually disappear"
After pondering for a while, Rhodes deduced the situation after the contractors entered the game space of the gods, and then began to deal with the situation after those mercenary contractors entered the game space of the gods.
First of all, according to Rhodes's theory, the game space of the gods should maintain a mysterious and powerful concept in the hearts of those contractors.
Now the slightly cramped and humble game space of the gods may be a little difficult for the guys who have seen a lot of infinite flow novels in the Celestial Empire on the earth, but for the mercenaries whose vision and knowledge are far inferior to the information bombardment on the earth, it is estimated that it is a fairly simple thing - not to mention, it is enough to shock people to appear silently in the town of the gods game space, and the functional buildings and virtual spirit world in those gods game space will definitely make those mercenaries feel shocked!
However, Rhodes will not put the functional buildings and virtual spiritual worlds out like this, and it is necessary to change the sacred, solemn shape, or rename the name of the Cool Bully, drag the bombing sky, etc.
Secondly, the growth and confidentiality of the contractor mastered by the gods game space also need to be paid attention to.
Rod also has plans for this, anyway, it is not a problem for the gods game space to deal with the needs of gray iron rank melee professionals at present, and the information of legal professions and red bronze rank and above Rod is not ready to be made public, and it is obviously a very good idea to restrict contractors according to the level and contribution system in infinite stream novels.
As for the growth of those mercenary contractors? Well, the issue of secrecy in the playspace of the nascent gods should be given way.
"So, in the end, it's how to make those mercenaries 'lucky' to become contractors."
After dealing with some of the related issues, Rod looked at the light screen in front of him and smiled.
The previous temptation to recruit contractors for monsters is obviously not suitable for dealing with humans, and even in dreams, it is difficult to say whether those mercenaries will accept the choice. After all, it is not nonsense for human beings to claim to be the most complex creatures, at least the phrase "the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people" can be said to be a wise saying on the earth.
However, in his previous life, Rhodes understood a truth, the vast majority of human beings are cheap bones from a certain point of view, and things that are easy to get are generally not cherished, on the contrary, the same thing that was finally obtained after his own efforts and even blood and sweat is regarded as a treasure!
The reason is not anything else, it is because things that are too easy to get will be ignored, but those things that you have obtained by your own efforts and even bleeding will feel the extraordinary preciousness of these things when you think of the situation of sweating and bleeding for them when you think of the situation you have paid for them!
Although it is not the same world, Rhodes is sure that this kind of psychological truth can still be shared in the two worlds after more than ten years. If it were so easy for those mercenaries to qualify as contractors in the game space of the gods, it is estimated that most people would not cherish it. However, if it is obtained through hard work or even at risk, it is estimated that those mercenaries who feel the benefits of the contractor will cherish the fact that they become contractors.
"Well, let me think about it, it seems like I can have an adventure or something."
Looking at the distance on the light screen in front of him that could affect the farthest distance close to the edge of the Far North Mountain Range, Rhodes, who was full of weird smiles, thought silently in his heart, and at the same time, the mischievous smile on his face became more and more weird.
Rhodes is still very interested in watching plays, especially this kind of drama that arranges other people's "adventures".
Of course, Rhodes himself was not plotting to kill those mercenaries. According to Rhodes' estimates, this kind of "adventure" encounter is estimated to be able to make those mercenary contractors who have tasted the sweetness try to keep the secret of the "adventure" they have obtained!
What the? These guys later understand that they were?
Does this have anything to do with Rhodes? At that time, it was estimated that Rhodes himself would not care about this, and he would not bother to pay attention to these guys who have become the game space of the gods.
"Lucky protagonists, I hope you don't let me down."
When Rhodes finished the preparations for Yiqiē after two busy nights, he began to silently wait for how the good play he directed would be staged in the game space of the gods.
