Li Xu thought about it in his heart, and soon figured out the salary of the recruited players and the number of people needed.

At present, he needs the three life professions of architect, alchemist, and foundry, as well as a large number of powerful combat professional players, to protect Gunsmoke City

"Ning Yan, starting tomorrow, you will help me send out advertisements, recruiting twenty builders and alchemists, and ten foundry masters." Li Xu said.

"Understood, master, how much salary shall I pay them?" Qiu Ningyan asked.

"This should be calculated according to their skill level, thirty gold coins per day for junior craftsmen, 80 gold coins a day for intermediate occupations, if there are senior craftsmen to apply, you directly ask them to contact me, and the price will be negotiated." Li Xu said with a deep groan.

He believes that it is not difficult to recruit junior and intermediate professions, but advanced life professional players are now rare and cannot be found

Players with senior life titles, even professional guilds treat them as treasures, and it must be difficult to find them among casual players.

Even so, Li Xu also wants to bang his luck, maybe he can really find one or two folk masters.

"Knowing the master, I will start preparing for this work tomorrow." Qiu Ningyan nodded.

"Ning Yan, there is one more thing, I need to recruit some people who do not belong to the legion, but are strong enough, you do business in the city every day, as long as you find this kind of master, find a way to help me recruit them." Li Xu explained.

Taobao Pavilion now has a reputation that is well known to the majority of players in Tianmeng City, and there are countless players who come here every day to look for treasures, perhaps relying on this relationship, he can help him achieve his secret goals.

"Obey the master, if you find a suitable target, I will have them wait for you in the store." Qiu Ningyan said.

"That's it, I'll come to the store on time once a day, and just tell me about the situation when the time comes." Li Xu nodded.

At first, I opened this store just to take advantage of it and get a free store pù gift from the system, but I didn't expect that now the business is getting more and more prosperous

For Li Xu, how much money Taobao Pavilion helped him make is secondary, and the main thing is that this store has successfully attracted the attention of the majority of players.

All the players are speculating, who is the owner of this Taobao Pavilion?

Judging from the large number of goods sold in Taobao Pavilion, players think that the owner of this shop must be an industry owned by a large consortium, and its strength is extremely huge

Except for Zhang Xiaolei and a group of die-hard friends, no one else knows the details of Taobao Pavilion, and the hot sales during this period of time have also helped Li Xu quickly accumulate a lot of popularity, and now recruiting people in the name of Taobao Pavilion should be the most appropriate means.

After explaining the recruitment matters, Li Xu opened the control panel and chose to go offline

Less than ten minutes after he left the game, he saw the busy Qiu Ningyan walk out of the store and quickly hang a signboard on the wall at the entrance of the store

On the blackboard-like signboard, the first line is eye-catching with four large gold characters

Recruit masters!

Fortunately, it was still early in the morning, and the number of players in the city was not large, and the appearance of this recruitment notice did not cause much of a sensation.

But what tomorrow will bring, no one knows

After a night, the sky outside the window was bright, Li Xu rubbed his hazy eyes and started a new day's busy work.

After washing up quickly, he opened the door and entered the restaurant to prepare breakfast, and when he was about to finish it early, he saw a graceful figure accompanied by a crisp greeting, and the beautiful landlady also came to the restaurant.

"Good morning, Asahiko Ko." Li Muyu rushed to the dining table.

A warm aroma came to his face, and the image of the beautiful woman in front of him suddenly made Li Xu's eyes stunned

The landlady this morning was dressed in a completely different outfit

Since the first time she saw the women's room, this fierce beauty has always been a natural beauty who does not apply powder and can even be described in raunchy words in Li Xu's eyes.

But today's situation is a little different, Li Muyu is actually wearing a purple dress, her long hair like a waterfall falls down her shoulders, her cherry lips are painted with beautiful lip gloss, and her eyelashes seem to be dressed up, as if a fairy who came out of a painting, standing in front of him slimly

The purple slim short skirt shows off the proud delicate body hidden under the wide crewneck shirt on weekdays, and the two slender legs make Li Muyu look like a big star in the spotlight.

"What are you today" Li Xu looked at the beautiful goddess in front of him blankly, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Didn't I tell you, that kid is going to collect the accounts today, I can only dress up a little, let him be confused how to come and how to go back, as long as I survive this half a day, I can not worry about debt for half a month." Li Muyu said with a smile, seemingly very satisfied with Li Xu's reaction.

"I'm dizzy, Liu Shaoqiang is coming today?" Li Xu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, it should be today." Li Muyu nodded.

"Do you want me to go out and hide for a while?" Li Xu asked.

"No, you just have to play with peace of mind, just lock the door inside for a while, and I'll deal with him." Li Muyu said with a smile.

"You can't do it, that kid isn't a fuel-efficient lamp." Li Xu said worriedly.

"Cut, you still dare to underestimate my sister, if he dares to mess around, my sister can throw him out of the door with one hand." Li Muyu raised her arms demonstratively to show off her biceps

The snow-white jade arm shook in front of Li Xu, and he was dizzy when he saw it

It seems that this landlady has practiced boxing and kicking, and Li Xu is a little relieved.

"Let's eat, according to the convention, this kid will come over at 9 o'clock." Li Muyu said disapprerovingly, and did not pay attention to the matter of the creditor's coming to the door today.

"Okay, you'd better be careful." Li Xu nodded, sat down and began to eat.

After eating breakfast quickly, he babbled and told the landlord to be careful, but he was directly bombarded into the room by the tireless Li Muyu.

"Lock the door, don't come out, that kid is jealous, if it spoils my sister's good deeds, you will pay off my sister." Li Muyu threatened outside the door.

"Uh-huh." Li Xu reluctantly locked the door and turned to the sofa

Swish!

A pillar of white light descended from the sky, through the thick smoke, and landed in the center of a bleak city.

The light dissipated, Li Xu looked curiously around the Gunsmoke City, and saw that after a night of emergency repairs, the roads and city walls of the entire inner city had been restored, the black stone floor was shining, and the brand-new city tower looked very dazzling.

However, the building area in the city is still a pile of ruins, and Wei Cheng's restoration work can only meet this standard.

"Lord of the city, come here." Bingwan's voice came from a distance, as if there was something important to announce.

Li Xu turned his head to look and saw the moving figure of the female assassin standing on top of the city tower, with thirty soldiers vigilantly looking at the situation outside the city

Something happened out of town?

Li Xu keenly felt that something big must have happened

He hurriedly rushed to the tower of the inner city, and rushed down the stairs to the tower in twos and threes.

"Lord of the city, there is an army stationed outside the city, and it has been here for several hours." Bingwan said.

"Troop stationed?" Li Xu stood on the city wall in surprise and looked outside

The outer city was in shambles, and the walls of the outer city were even more dilapidated, but looking through the gaps in the countless city walls, it was found that outside the city, there were large black shadows in the basin

This dense black shadow turned the entire ground outside the city into a black ocean, and the number of people was only afraid of no less than 10,000 people!

Moreover, these black shadows were arranged in countless square camps, completely surrounding the city wall

Just as Bing Wan said, countless armies were stationed outside the city, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Where did this army come from?" Li Xu asked puzzled.

"It's not clear, they just arrived half an hour ago, and they didn't enter the outer city, but they were stationed outside the city, we didn't dare to go out of the city casually, and it is still unclear their identities." Bingwan shook her head and said.

"They didn't come in either?" Li Xu asked curiously.

"No, they didn't move at all for half an hour." Bingwan said.

"You guys be careful here, I'll go outside and see, no matter what happens, don't come out." Li Xu said nervously.

Where the hell is this mysterious legion, looking at the number of them, what will happen?

"City lord be careful, come back immediately if there is danger." Bingwan reminded.

"You're also ready to fight, and I'll come back when I find out who they are." Li Xu nodded.

With doubts in his heart, he walked quickly down the tower

Airplanes!

The city gate slowly opened, and Li Xu immediately closed the city gate after leaving the city, and quickly rushed down the steep stone steps into the ruins of the outer city.

Striding through countless rubble and abandoned buildings, the walls ahead were getting closer and closer.

Through the gap in the collapsed city wall, piles of burly figures standing neatly gradually appeared in front of him

Still far away, Li Xu was shocked by the awe-inspiring majesty exuded by the group of troops standing still outside the city, and his heart became more and more frightened.

Because just by feeling, he felt that the army that came outside the Gunpowder City this time was not a player army, but an NPC army with a scale of tens of thousands!

Oh no, could it be that the Terran royal family found out about this place and sent the Praetorian Guard to encircle and suppress it?

If that's the case, I'm afraid the newly established Gunpowder City will not be able to hold it!

Li Xu was terrified in his heart, hiding behind the ruins and moving forward, gradually approaching the city wall

As the distance got closer, the situation in front of him made his heart beat wildly, and he felt that things were getting worse and worse.

Because the legion outside the city can already be determined to be a group of NPC legions, just judging from the height of these soldiers and the weapons in their hands, as well as the metallic luster emitted by the armor under the early morning sun, this is not the strength that players can have at this stage

I didn't expect that the Gunpowder City, hidden in the Cangmang Mountain, would be discovered by the Terran royal family so quickly!
