Chapter 1: A New Home
Another move, no longer a stranger to the Broken Blades.
Before leaving, Shen Yi and the others went to find Ah Li first and settled all the accounts that should be settled. When he learned that the Broken Blades had been promoted, Ali felt sorry - he finally had a big customer and ran away.
"I'd love to say celebrate promotions, but in this damn world, promotions never seem to be something to be envied," he said. ”
Shen Yi smiled: "Why don't you change your mind? Every time you rise, you are closer to home." ”
Ali's eyes were a little blurry: "Go home, do you think we can still go home?"
Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Go down the road, there is home at the end." ”
Ali chewed the words several times, and finally smiled: "I will try." ”
Hong Lang hugged Ali: "When you go out on a mission in the future, you will encounter trouble that cannot be solved, just say that you are a friend of our Broken Blade team, who dares to trouble you, Lao Tzu chopped him!"
Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "Everyone is gone, what deterrent can there be here?"
Hong Lang pouted: "You can't say that, won't those guys be promoted to the district in the future? We haven't retired yet, which bastard dares to underestimate us?"
Gently pushed him: "Less blowing, go back and pack your things." ”
With the sigh of parting with friends, everyone returned to the residence, packed up all the things that could be packed, and left the empty house.
Thinking about when there will be new adventurers in the future, Shen Yi left a note in the room:
"Shen Yi of the Broken Blade Team, who lived here for 114 days, left a message to commemorate, wishing his successors a safe time through the task, a healthy and happy life. ”
When leaving, Shen Yi and the others went to see M7 once.
I heard that Shen Yi was leaving, and the gardeners and staff officers were crying profusely, as if they were parting from life and death. The nurse even hugged Shen Yi's neck and didn't let go, it was rare to be gentle and not jealous, and even hugged her for comfort.
Several teenagers insisted on sending the Broken Blade team into the apartment area, but Shen Yi persuaded them to give up only after saying bad things. What are you kidding, five people send a trip, and the round-trip is a thousand tolls, which is still too expensive, just be kind and good-hearted.
However, in this way, the equipment can no longer be borrowed freely, Shen Yi considered finding an opportunity to make a teleportation equipment or skill by himself, but the price of this kind of skill or equipment is too high, and the store does not sell it, so don't think about it in a short time.
Compared to the ordinary area, the apartment area looks much neater and cleaner. It still has the traditional building-like structure, with about ten to sixteen rooms per building, which is about enough to accommodate one team.
In fact, there are very few scattered adventurers in the apartment area, so the vast majority of the party lives in the same apartment building, which is much better than living in a normal area.
There are a lot of apartment buildings, most of them are empty, in fact, if the apartment buildings are converted into villas, they are also enough for adventurers to live in, after all, there is no problem of population/explosive growth, but the city still insists on the arrangement of apartment buildings, presumably this is also a means to attract adventurers to work hard - everyone wants to live in a bigger and more spacious house.
The trading market in the apartment area is a large square with a large fountain in the center of the square, surrounded by four passages leading in different directions.
One leads to shops and research institutes, one leads to training grounds, and one leads to mercenary camps, where mercenary warriors of different ranks can be hired to fight for you for a fee.
Finally, there is the road to the dueling arena and the casino.
In the apartment area, in addition to the mercenary barracks, there are two more types of buildings, namely the dueling arena and the casino.
The dueling arena is used for battles between adventurers, and if someone doesn't like someone, they can issue a duel invitation and enter the dueling arena to the deathmatch.
This is also the only place in the Bloody City where you can fight except for the training ground.
Of course, the challenged person has the right to refuse.
As for the casino, it is quite an interesting place.
I've heard that there are a lot of equipment and skills that can be gambled on, including equipment or skills that don't exist in the apartment area and are above A.
The casino format is roughly similar to that of casinos on the planet, with content such as roulette, blackjack, stud, and so on.
Generally speaking, there are two forms of casinos.
One is a card bet between the adventurer and the adventurer, with blood points or equipment as the bet, and the casino rake is five percent. It's no different from a regular casino.
The other is the bet between the adventurer and the casino, which is actually the most appealing. For example, the roulette wheel is a large oval disc with various special markings on the edges of the disc representing different levels of equipment, skills, items, etc. Adventurers can roll the ball in the wheel by pulling the stalk, and once the ball lands on a marked spot, it means that you have received the corresponding reward.
The more advanced the equipment or skill, the smaller the marking range and the less easy it is to hit, and most areas are blank, meaning there is nothing. For each stalk pull, you need to pay 5,000 points. Since it's mechanically powered, this means you can't use any abilities to affect it.
In fact, it's not much different from the various gambling methods on Earth, but at least two things never exist compared to Earth.
One is cheating.
The second is usury.
Of course, there will be a lot of prostitutes/women.
Whenever an adventurer makes a fortune in a casino, there will be some women who are quite good-looking and take the initiative to lean on you......
To survive!
It is precisely because of this reason that from the third difficulty level above, the gap in strength between adventurers will become wider and wider. A pinnacle adventurer can easily take out seven or eight junk adventurers, and some may even have S-rank skills or equipment in their hands.
Of course, there are people who have lost their money, but they usually disappear quickly in the next mission.
The architectural pattern of the bloody city is basically that the higher you go, the more comprehensive the services and functions will be.
Compared with the apartment area, the villa area has more functions, at least Shen Yi knows that there is a temple of gods and demons, in addition, he heard that there is also an internal trading center, which can publish various transaction information directly at home, so that there is no longer a need for people like Ali to serve on his behalf.
Unfortunately, there is no such service in the apartment area.
―――――――――――――――
Shen Yi and the others finally found a vacant apartment building near the mercenary camp, where the rooms were obviously much larger than the ordinary area, not only with separate bedrooms, but also with separate bathrooms, living rooms and kitchens - Shen Yi's combined kitchen was a complete waste.
Moving to a new apartment and refurbishing your home is a busy time.
Fortunately, everyone is superhuman, and there are no decoration requirements, so the new home is quickly settled.
When Wen Rou came to Shen Yi's house, he found that Shen Yi was already sitting on the sofa fiddling with the computer.
"What are you busy with?" Gentle stretched out her arms from behind and hugged Shen Yi's neck.
"Make a plan. Shen Yi replied without raising his head: "There are a lot of things to deal with, and there must be an arrangement." ”
"Isn't it just to deal with the relationship between your two girlfriends in the home world first, and then think about how to spend the money appropriately?"
Shen Yi patted the little hand that was wandering in front of his chest: "To be honest, it's not that simple, the new environment, the new atmosphere, many things have to be carefully considered...... And what do you mean by my two girlfriends? Dr. Sarah and I are innocent. ”
"For the time being, you've already taken her into your harem world anyway, haven't you?"
"What do you call my harem world?" Shen Yi's nose was crooked: "That's the home world of the X-Men, not Shen Yi's beautiful harem world." ”
Gentle Jiao smiled: "You can change the direction of development." ”
Shen Yi raised his head and saw a bright red lip in front of his eyes: "Vinegar jar, if you make me angry like this again, maybe I will really consider doing this." ”
"Then you can try......" replied in a gentle and prolonged tone.
The two looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing at the same time.
Under the red lip print, she gently hugged Shen Yi's neck tightly, kissing Shen Yi in an indulgent and wild attitude, releasing all her feelings.
Bang!
The door was slammed open, and the flood rushed in.
The two quickly separated, glaring at Hong Lang gently: "When will you learn the good habit of knocking on the door?"
Hong Lang laughed: "Cut, what a big, as for being so nervous? You continue, I don't see anything." Shen Yi stood up and walked to the side and sat down: "I'm really convinced of you, give me some time, it's almost over." ”
"Accomplish what?" Hong Lang asked as he went into the kitchen, trying to find something to eat, but he was disappointed to find that the refrigerator was empty, and Shen Yi didn't make snacks for everyone today.
"Strengthen the plan, this time I plan to spend 380,000 to strengthen everyone. Shen Yi replied casually.
"Wow. Hong Lang's eyes lit up: "Are you going to give up your damn big universe plan?"
380,000 enhancement funds, this is the unique treatment that the Broken Blade Team has received in the past two missions.
"Is this plan so bad in your eyes?" Shen Yi shook his head with a wry smile, of course, this is not a problem. Hong Lang and Gentle are very clear why Shen Yi wants to invest 380,000 yuan to strengthen this time.
Every time you ascend the zone, in a sense, it is actually a test.
Don't look at the Broken Blade team in the second difficulty, like a fish in water, but once it reaches the third difficulty, the situation is very different.
Just like the original Wolves, as the strongest team in the second difficulty area, they immediately fell to the middle and lower levels after entering the third difficulty area. Even if the current Broken Blades team is stronger than the original Wolves team, when it comes to the apartment area, it is at best of a medium level. The most obvious point is that the adventurers in the third difficulty area have general attributes above seventy or eighty, and a few strong ones are even above 120.
For Shen Yi, absolute strength is not what he is after.
Spending 2 million points to make yourself a powerhouse at the 4th difficulty level will not increase the benefits of the mission world much, only that the process of completing the mission will be easier. However, it is still necessary to be relatively strong to ensure that they have some control in the mission world.
If adventurers are the most difficult when they first ascend to the zone, because their strength is below the level at that time, then it is the easiest when they are about to leave, because their strength is generally above the basic level.
Therefore, Shen Yi will mainly strengthen the strength of the team in the early stage to ensure that the team can quickly stand at the peak of this difficulty area and successfully pass the task, and then put the remaining funds into the plan.
Reasonable control of the allocation of resources is an important guarantee to determine whether the Broken Blade team can go on better.
Therefore, this time, Shen Yi planned to close the gap with the adventurers in the third district first.
In addition to the 180,000 income of the DOOM Slayer, there is still a considerable part of the income of Night Legend and Wilderness that has not been converted into blood points, Shen Yi plans to keep 200,000, a total of 380,000 all of them will be used to strengthen the team, so that they should be more relaxed in the first apartment area mission.
