"We will study our opponents before the match," Elder Wang also felt sloppy, adding, "If there is hope, we will tell you our suggestions in advance." If you are advised to work hard, it means that you are of the same rank and there is no big problem. If it's recommended to try, don't let it go. ”

"You are all the future pillars of our Cuimu City, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose the game for a while. It's better to win, it's okay to lose. "The stone hall master tried his best to downplay, like Elder Wang, he was more concerned about the safety of the children at the moment.

Seeing that the two elders were so worried, Tong Yinxin was a little incomprehensible, and asked tentatively, "Is it allowed to kill people at will in this competition?"

The two smiled wryly and explained. Of course, the rules do not allow arbitrary killing, but those who do not enter the stream are not really treated as human beings at all; If they are replaced by famous families, big families, and big forces, their people will be extremely expensive, and if they are injured, there will be big problems!

When the disciples understood, their faces turned pale. A few of them turned out to know, and they were still very angry.

After that, everyone calmly studied the specific game strategy and went to rest.

In the afternoon of the next day, I came to the city of Guang'an. But see, the city gate tower is as high as 80 meters, majestic and majestic. Tong Yinxin paid twenty spirit stones to enter the city and received twelve temporary identity cards. When entering the city, I took a look at it, and the city wall was extremely thick, estimated to be more than 20 meters thick.

Everyone had already discussed yesterday that they would stay in the barracks, which would be convenient and economical. The convoy was ready to return to Cuimu City, and before returning, the coachmen temporarily deposited their vehicles at Tongyinxin's accommodation, and went out to inquire around to see if they could meet guests returning to Cuimu City, or passers who went to other places.

The first thing Lord Shi and Elder Wang did was to lead everyone to the organizing committee to go through the registration procedures for participating in the competition.

When I arrived at the office, I saw that there were only less than three days left in the deadline.

"What is the name of the team of the small sect?"

The clerk was a god-level beginner dog clan, and he didn't raise his eyelids, and asked coldly.

Elder Wang replied respectfully, "We are the representative team of Emerald Wood City, two team leaders, and ten team members. ”

The clerk operated the computer slowly and methodically, and quickly found the small sect part, and soon found the Emerald Wood City team, and then asked for specific information, and after confirming that it was correct, he asked for the registration fee for the 120 spirit stone competition. Then, twelve jade plaques were given.

Everyone enters their own true element for easy inspection. Now, everyone has the identity certificate to stay legally in the royal capital. The one who entered the city was only guaranteed to stay in the city for a whole day, and with the proof of this competition, at least there were no worries during the competition.

Elder Wang bowed down and asked with a smile, "My lord, has the first round of the match been discharged?"

In the office hall of the organizing committee, there were more than 100 windows responsible for registration. At present, there are still more than a dozen windows left, which means that there are only about 300 teams left to complete the registration.

"The registration is not over yet, and the match bracket will be announced tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The man was "kind" and official.

Nonsense, everyone knows this. The problem is, when it was posted, it was about to be a game, and I was sweating profusely, and I finally finished watching it, and the disciples had already gone to the ring to compete.

Elder Wang had already prepared, and gently took out a small bag of spirit stones, handed it over very naturally, and stuffed it into the person's hand. The man's eyes flickered, and he saw that it should be a hundred spirit stones, and he put them away without a trace. It's not a lot of money, it's okay, and it's quite interesting.

"Your Excellency, please take a look. ”

"Oh, okay. If you sign up for a while, you have to stop. ”

There is already the name of the Emerald Wood City team and the names of all the players, and this is easy to find.

However, the information is in the hands of others, and isn't it normal for you hillbillies to want to know and pay a price?

It only took five minutes before and after, the registration was completed, and the battle information was all in hand, and everyone happily went back to prepare to go.

The information is not comprehensive, only the name and rank of the opponent are known, and nothing else is known.

Happily, it looks like luck didn't come up against a well-known player who was too strong in the first round.

The two members of this team are seventh-order, and the opponents are all sixth-order, and the hope of promotion is not low. Of the six sixth-order, two opponents are of the same order, and four of them are still of the fifth order. The cloud beast's name was Yun Shanhe, and he was the youngest of the other nine, only older than Tong Yinxin, and his opponent was also a fifth-order.

Tong Yinxin's opponent was a seventh-order, but no one cared about his situation. The disciples were gearing up, eager for the game to start immediately. The two elders didn't dare to be so optimistic, they were secretly happy in their hearts, and they didn't dare to reveal it at all on the surface.

Playing the role of black face together, chattering endlessly to train the disciples, never underestimate the enemy, must be stable, must be safety first, like a parent who accompanies his child to take the big exam with his son Jackie Chan.

Tong Yinxin, who has been silent, is actually listening to the new information that his younger brother has just collected, and he has gained a lot of knowledge.

After a cultivator is promoted to the holy level, he should be assisted by magic weapons, talismans, pills, etc. It's not that the division-level ones don't need it, it's really that they are of a lower level, and giving them magic weapons to use is quite overkill.

It's possible that the big sect doesn't care, but it's not okay to go to small sects like the Demon Source Sect and the Cuimu Sect, and they have few magic weapons. The high-level members of the sect only have some low-grade magic weapons to fill the façade, and if they accidentally get a medium-grade magic weapon, they will love it as if they were killed. Poor, poor to death!

A magic weapon is a weapon that can be used to cast spells, and the increase in the strength of a cultivator can be imagined.

With a magic weapon, the speed of casting spells can be greatly improved, the accuracy can also be greatly improved, and the power of spell attacks is definitely not the same as that of no magic weapon. Comparable to the situation of fighting with people with bare hands with weapons.

Several of the participating disciples did not have suitable magic weapons, and a few of them also had the (unused) magic weapons given to them by their teachers, but they were all lost in the sect and did not take them with them at all. Those old-fashioned grandfather magic weapons should have been thrown away a long time ago, and it makes no difference whether they are used or not.

The situation is similar for talismans and protective gear. Here, focusing only on participating in the competition, Fu Rong can be divided into two categories: offensive and defensive. Actually, there are many other uses, so I won't talk about them for the time being.

Talismans are considered one-time consumables, such as offensive ones, which contain spells that can be quickly released to attack opponents.

Armor is limited to defense and can be used for a long time as long as it is undamaged.

Tong Yinxin was speechless and found that the more than 20,000 contestants who had arrived at their destination in advance had made sufficient preparations for the recent parameters, which was only in terms of elixirs, talismans and magic weapon protectors!

He's so angry, don't mention it, no wonder he's often shaved bald.

Fortunately, there are still two days to go, and fortunately, items such as low-grade magic weapons are not very expensive!

This is also him, qualified to think so, the fellow Stone Hall Master and Elder Wang are far less arrogant.

He couldn't help but ask, "Hall Master, why don't we go out and buy something?"

The Stone Hall Master and Elder Wang were speechless for a moment.

"Cough", the master of the stone hall coughed dryly, and said with a bitter face, "Uh, Xiaotong, what are we going out for? Why don't you rest and rest......

Elder Wang bowed his head in embarrassment, and made up his mind not to mingle.

"Hall Master, let's go out and buy something for the competition. ”

The stone hall master's face was full of wrinkles, and he couldn't get rid of the bitterness, and he was trying his best to plan, how to dissuade him?

"Don't worry, it won't cost a few dollars, I'll just go out. ”

"Children, you must know that the rich are thrifty and the poor are luxury...... What, what do you say?"

The stone hall master suddenly realized that what Tong Yinxin said was very wrong, and hurriedly asked, carefully observing Elder Wang's expression by the way.

Elder Wang was even more interesting, with a pair of small slitted eyes, which were round at the moment, and his unbelievable appearance was stunning.

Tong Yinxin said indifferently: "Disciple still has some spare money here, why don't we just take a look, if it's very cheap, let's buy something useful." ”

"Xiao Tong," this time it was Elder Wang who spoke, and he asked hesitantly, "How many spirit stones do you have?" He deliberately emphasized the latter word.

"Not much," Tong Yinxin replied easily: "There are still tens of thousands left." ”

When the two elders heard this, they shuddered almost at the same time. At the same time, the bottom of my heart is rude, there are not many TMDs, and the sects are not as rich as you!

Is the small sect really that poor? Why?

This should be calculated from both the income and expenditure sides. Let's talk about expenses first, from top to bottom, everyone has a treatment; the higher the level, the more expenses will be, and a part of it will be supplied by the sect, and the pressure of personal consumption in cultivation will be lighter.

There are nearly 10,000 miscellaneous disciples of the Demon Source Sect, nearly 1,000 outer disciples, more than 100 inner disciples, 9 core disciples, and more than 20 high-level elders of the hall master, totaling more than 10,000 people. Miscellaneous servants have three spirit stones per month, the outer gate has eight spirit stones per month, the inner door has fifteen to twenty spirit stones per month, and the core has fifty spirit stones per month.

All disciples need to send out more than 40,000 spirit stones every month. The salaries of the high-level people are two hundred to three hundred, and the treatment of Tong Yinxin is exceptionally equivalent to that of the elders. The monthly expenditure must be close to 50,000 spirit stones.

Where does all this money come from?

The first is the Lingshi Mine. All miscellaneous disciples must each have one month per year to participate in mining, and the sect's contribution is calculated at three times the average task. The outer disciples and the inner disciples are voluntary, and those who are interested can also go, and the contribution of the sect is calculated according to four or five times the ordinary task.

Spirit Stone Mine is easy to find, and the Demon Source Sect now has a small Spirit Stone Mine. However, the production efficiency is very low.

After deducting the contribution value of manual conversion (the contribution of the sect can be calculated in spirit stones), the profit margin is less than half, and the net output is only about 20,000 spirit stones per month.

How to make up for the deficit?

It's up to the heads of the halls. The people of the Dantang can refine low-grade Dan, the Refining Hall can produce weapons, a small number of low-level magic weapons, the Fu Hall can produce low-level and low-grade talismans, and the Formation Hall is weak, so there are no products worth mentioning for the time being.
