In the office of the Newman Combine Plant.

Hong Lang was holding the computer and slapping and calculating.

"Assuming that the five difficulty criteria are divided into one S level, the four difficulty criteria are divided into one A level, the three difficulty levels are B level, and so on, the average standard of the five difficulty areas is 29,400 ......"

Flood waves do arithmetic, which is a very rare phenomenon.

The fat man looked at Hong Lang with wide eyes: "Brother Lang, what are you doing?"

Hong Lang replied without raising his head: "Counting how many bloody points an adventurer can get by being a marshal under normal circumstances, and how far we are from our goal." ”

Then he picked up the computer and said loudly while calculating: "Average the standard score of the five difficulty areas, and the standard score of the average mission world is 29,400 points, which is an ordinary performance." Based on the excellent performance of each mission, the points are doubled, and six missions in each difficulty area are taken into account, and adventurers can earn a total of 1.76 million Blood Points from the slum to becoming a marshal, excluding equipment rewards. Six people, with a total income of about 10 million blood points. ”

King Kong didn't raise his head: "Sounds pretty good." ”

"Not bad?" Hong Lang's eyes were about to bulge, "This is all we can get from killing until the Tower of Babel." In other words, from now on, we will not be able to complete the task of 50 million without eating, drinking, or strengthening. If we want to maintain a stronger reinforcement than others, then this number has to be added by another 10 million, which is 60 million. ”

The flood crackled and knocked on the computer again, and finally shouted: "So from now on, we have to earn at least 60 million! 60 million!"

Hong Lang roared loudly: "Do you know what that means? It means that we have to earn at least seven million per mission! The boss is crazy, this is simply an impossible task!"

Gentleness came out of the kitchen with a fruit bowl, poked the pear slices with a toothpick and put them in her mouth, and said, "He's always been a madman, and you didn't know him just now." Also, impossible tasks...... Why does that sound so familiar?"

Gentleness tilted her head, as if wondering when she heard this sentence.

Hong Lang stared at Gentleness, he saw that this was not a fruit in the home world, but Gentleness brought in from the Bloody City, and asked, "How much did you spend on that thing?"

Gentle and strange: "A bloody spot can be exchanged for a big basket." ”

Hong Lang gritted his teeth: "You should save some, we have no money to enjoy." ”

“......”

Collective silence.

Zhou Yiyu snickered: "I've never seen him like this." ”

The fat man sighed: "Brother Lang is also really anxious." ”

King Kong thought thoughtfully: "This is the charm of money! This thing can turn a lady into a bitch, and it can also turn a reckless man into an accountant ......."

Hong Lang was anxious: "It's pressure! It's fucking pressure and not the charm of money! The boss really has a good plan, and I'm worried to death." ”

Everyone laughed together.

Shen Yi came in from outside just when he heard this laughter, and asked strangely, "What are you laughing at?"

Wen Rou told Hong Lang about settling accounts just now, and when he heard that Hong Lang was going to deprive him of even the right to eat fruit gently, Shen Yi couldn't help laughing.

He walked over and sat down beside Hong Lang: "Hong Lang, the account is not your kind of algorithm. ”

"How do you count that?"

"We don't necessarily have to pay for all this money. ”

Hong Lang said: "What do you mean ......?"

Shen Yi patted Hong Lang on the shoulder: "What I mean is very simple, that is, to win this war at all costs." Two million blood points can make a marshal, but twenty marshals are not comparable to a space battleship. This world is not the world of gods after all, even the most powerful adventurers can only smash a mountain with one punch at most, but it is impossible to blow up a planet with one punch...... But powerful particle laser cannons and space railguns can destroy a planet! We can't do this alone, but if necessary, I'll ask some of my friends who have been to join the program. Anyway, we can't just pilot that many warships, can we?"

It turned out that this was the case, and Hong Lang understood Shen Yi's plan.

King Kong asked, "When?"

He didn't feel strange about Shen Yi's idea, this was also the only suitable plan.

Shen Yi replied: "When we really have the production capacity. No one in this world will help in the snow, and the bloody points we need are not one or two. It's only when we really show the power of a superbase that people will believe us. At that point, at least in terms of production costs, we can significantly reduce our expenditures. ”

Gently interjected: "If that's the case, then we only need the bloody points of the upfront investment." Really?"

"Yes, of course, the sooner it works, the better, and then you give others enough time to raise money. So we don't have much time. ”

Zhou Yiyu sighed: "This bloody point is also not easy to earn." If it can be built so easily, someone has done it in a hundred years, so why wait for us? Even if we can get so many bloody points, where will we get the points to strengthen ourselves?"

Shen Yi smiled: "Is it really difficult?Maybe I should remind you of one thing: the ultimate purpose of the base's existence is to build a fleet that can defeat the Zerg, but who said that it can't do anything else during this period? Have you forgotten our plan when we got the Skynet chip?"

Gentle and dumbfounded: "Terminator Legion? you mean ......"

"That's right, Terminator Legion! That would be the most important way for us to expand our base and strengthen ourselves. ”

Shen Yi looked at everyone and slowly stood up:

"Lan Yan said that I am more like a merchant than a warrior...... He's right!"

"In my opinion, the reason why the Bloody City has not been able to win this war until now is because they lack merchants!"

"There won't be any way in the world to make money faster than doing business, you can't work part-time, you can't work hard, you can't work hard! There won't even be a billionaire in the world who isn't a businessman. So what we have to do is to get the points we need by mass-producing Terminator warriors on a large scale...... It's like starting a company. ”

King Kong interrupted him: "What we produce cannot be sold. ”

"That's right, but if the other party provides the cost and materials, it is not for sale, but for processing. Plus, we can use them to fight. Shen Yi said with a smile.

"In short, the investment in the base is a necessary capital investment for large-scale production and construction. Unlike ordinary companies, if you want to open a company in a bloody city, the threshold is very high, and this is not something that anyone can do. But as long as it can be done, the fleet plan is not a dream. ”

"That's all I have planned...... It may be grand or distant, but it is never out of reach. ”

"Of course, there are always difficulties. I don't know exactly when our planned Terminator will be officially produced. Even if it is produced, how many bloody points will it bring us? Will there be enough time for us to complete the full construction of the base? Can the fleet be built? Even if it is completed, will it be able to defeat my imaginary Zerg enemy? Although I have planned everything, if every link goes wrong, the consequences will be devastating. But we have to do it, because if you don't plan for the future...... You will never have a future!"

"Therefore, we must fight harder in the days to come, with our tears, blood, sweat and even our lives, and also with our minds to accomplish all this!"

"Doing what others can't do, that's what we often do!"

――――――――――――――

With Shen Yi's enlightenment, at least Hong Lang no longer feels that the Great Universe Project is so distant and unrealistic. Speaking of which, he actually has an almost blind trust and admiration for Shen Yi, so much so that he will listen to whatever Shen Yi says.

Don't look at the pained look he looked when he settled the score, it just shows that he is really trying to do what Shen Yi planned - even if the method is stupid.

In the next time, Shen Yi and the others first took the time to repair the Black Lightning and the Reaper, and then seized the time to train themselves. Since we already know that only those who really and thoroughly master the skills can be taken to the bloody city, so the direction of everyone's training has also changed, in addition to strengthening the cooperation in the new situation and fighting, more is used to figure out and study those skills.

Ten days later, the Broken Blades returned to the city.

Shen Yi went to the research institute first, received the 7,000-point bounty, repaired his flying claws by the way, and was officially promoted to D-level. As a result, his claws are up to two hundred meters away, and his chains are stronger and less easily damaged.

When he returned to his residence, he found Pandora waiting for him.

"I thought you wouldn't dare to see me again. Shen Yi was surprised.

"What don't you dare. Pandora sneered: "I know who you are, you are the kind of guy who can do anything as long as it is good." Didn't you just deal with your two useless teammates? and didn't hurt them. ”

"That's right. Shen Yi opened the door and tilted his head: "Come in." ”

Walking into the room, Shen Yi took off his coat casually, and then sat down on the sofa. Pandora was about to sit down, but Shen Yi said coldly, "I didn't invite you to sit down." ”

Pandora's body froze, and she stood in front of Shen Yi after standing stiff for a moment: "If you like to talk like this, I don't have an opinion." ”

"There's nothing to talk about between us, you want the Eye of Hades? yes, 800,000 blood points. ”

Pandora's eyes were about to bulge: "Eight hundred thousand? What are you kidding?" ”

"As you said, I'm a guy who can do nothing as long as it's good. The problem is that it has to be big enough to make me tick. ”

Shen Yi leaned lazily on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs: "So, 800,000, this is a reasonable price." ”

Pandora sneered, "I don't see what makes sense of it." ”

"Props that can triple their attributes, greatly increase the strength of extraterritorial battlefields, and increase the chance of saving their lives, even if it is a million, it is not too expensive. Considering that you are going to do something to my teammates, it is impossible for you to have that discount again, isn't it reasonable for me to charge 800,000?"

"Extraterrestrial battlefield?" Pandora frowned, "What's that?"

"It seems that your master didn't tell you anything more, and I don't want to say anything more in that case, so go back and ask him before coming to me. ”

"No need, I'm already here. ”

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the door.

It was the evil emperor Wei Xu.

Striding into Shen Yi's room, the Evil Emperor laughed and said, "The young man is just courageous, and he even offers such an imposing price. I'll admit you're right, the Eye of Hades is worth a million. But only if it's a set. Now you only have one left eye, and you can't use it at all, and the price is very unreasonable. ”

Saying that, he sat down in front of Shen Yi: "I know Pandora did something wrong, but don't blame her, she just wants to help me." In this world, if you are not ruthless, how can you be worthy of yourself? How can you live comfortably? I apologize to you on her behalf, and the fold you said can be canceled. As for the left eye of this Hades, since there is only one-third, it has no effect until it is collected, so the real price can only be counted as 200,000 at most. I say that, fair, right?"

Shen Yi smiled: "But if someone has already collected the other two, and only this one is missing, then it is not 200,000, but worth at least 600,000." ”

The Evil Emperor laughed, "That's right, I can admit that I have the right eye of the Hades in my hand, but unfortunately, I haven't gotten the soul of the Hades yet. So your left eye can't make this price. ”

"Do you have the birthplace of the soul of the Immortal?"

"Yes, but the time has not yet come, and no one can take it out now. If you want to hit it, just wait until you get into the third difficulty, and I'll ask you for help when the time comes. ”

Shen Yi smiled, the evil emperor's words were typical nonsense.

Even if the soul of the Hades is unearthed in the future, the Evil Emperor will never ask himself to do it again. Otherwise, if Shen Yi really wants to get the third soul of the Hades, he will inevitably blackmail the evil emperor fiercely. The best thing to do is to find another group of unwitting adventurers to participate in this matter at that time.

However, the Evil Emperor would never have dreamed that in order to lower the price, he specially revealed that he did not collect all three Hades props, but instead gave Shen Yi a reassuring pill - this scrapped Eye of Hades can be shot.

At least during the time when the soul of the Immortal King was unearthed, the Evil Emperor would never find out about the problem with the Immortal's left eye unless the Colonel told him.

However, with their relationship, the Colonel would only be happy to see the Evil Emperor suffer this loss, and then waste all his time, energy, and money to find the soul of the Immortal King, which was useless.

Reminder: It's already righteous for him not to fall into the ground.

The only question is, is it true that the Evil Emperor said at this moment that there is no soul of the Hades? If he deceives himself and already has these two items in his hands, then as soon as the left eye of the Hades King arrives, he will immediately find out.

Then the trouble will be big.

On this issue, Shen Yi had no choice.

He needs blood so much that he can only gamble on some things.

So he nodded: "Okay, the price is 200,000, with a 20% discount, and you pay 160,000." ”

"Okay!" The Evil Emperor was also refreshed when he arrived, and took out a few scrolls: "I have five A-grade appraisal scrolls here." Since you've included the derivative value of the Eye of Hades, I'm sorry, I'll have to calculate it with you at the market price. A A-grade appraisal scroll is equivalent to five C-grade appraisal scrolls, and the price is 32,000 points each, giving you five, is there a problem?"

"For 20,000 points, I want eight. ”

"Don't even think about it, an A-rank scroll can bring out an A-rank weapon, and it's already very cheap to count you at 32,000! You must know that the A-rank weapon itself is worth 45,000 points. ”

"The premise is to get this weapon first. And you can't equate A-rank appraisal scrolls with A-tier weapons, without extra profit, what's the point of appraisal scrolls?"

"I'll give you up to six. ”

"Seven, that's the bottom line. ”

“...... Okay, just seven, count you brat ruthless!"

There are abacus on both sides, and after the transaction, this Hades King's left eye is in the hands of the Evil Emperor.

As soon as the evil emperor got his left eye, he immediately laughed proudly: "It's finally here, with this eye of the Hades, who else is Lao Tzu afraid of?" Even if the general comes, he doesn't pay attention to it!"

Shen Yi said coldly: "You don't want to tell me, in fact, you already have the soul of the Hades, right?"

"Of course not, it's just that the soul of Hades is not in the third-difficulty area, but in the fourth-difficulty area. The Evil Emperor laughed and said, "There are three pieces of Hades, the left eye is in the second difficulty, the right eye is in the third difficulty, and the soul is in the fourth difficulty. I got my right eye myself, and it took a lot of effort to figure out what it did. As for this soul of Hades, in three months, it will be unearthed, and I will take it myself when the time comes, and I won't ask you for help. ”

Shen Yi muttered: "Is that so...... No wonder it's so refreshing. ”

The evil emperor's eyes when he looked at Shen Yi at this time had changed.

He suddenly said coldly: "Boy, you have taken a lot of advantage in this transaction. Now I want you to hand over the seven scrolls I just gave you, along with the keys in the chest, and the map. If you are obedient, I will give you some good. Otherwise......"

"Is this a threat?" Shen Yi looked at the other party coldly.

got the Eye of Hades, and had no worries, Wei Xu at this time had no worries. He doesn't have to be afraid of turning his face with Shen Yi anymore, it is naturally best to be able to force him to spit out the benefits he delivered. If you can't force it out, you won't have anything to lose. Anyway, an adventurer like Shen Yi who is unwilling to obey and only cooperates, even if he is killed, the evil emperor will not feel the slightest distress.

In contrast, he is more willing to choose the former Xie Rongjun as his agent.

"So what?" he asked proudly.

"That's a pity, I'm a person who eats everything, just doesn't eat threats. Now that the deal is over, the two of you are no longer welcome here, so please leave. ”

"You ......" Although he knew that Shen Yi was very likely not to eat his own set, but seeing Shen Yi completely ignoring himself, the evil emperor was still furious.

In the end, he is a big man with four difficulties, how many adventurers are asking him to give him some charity in front of him, and he wants to be his little brother and follower, but this bastard in front of him dares to ask for a price from him, and now he is driving himself away!

It's just that the owner of this house is Shen Yi, who is protected by the city, and he said that if you leave, even if you are a general, it is useless.

Just listen to the send-off, and the defense system in this room will immediately activate automatically, instantly ejecting the Evil Emperor and Pandora from the building.

"Bastard!" the Evil Emperor roared wildly outside, "You wait, don't let Lao Tzu see you in the wilderness, or I'll let you know what regret is!"

Where did he say this, there was a bit of a big man's bearing, and he was quite a bit of a gangster. In fact, the Evil Emperor was originally born as a street gangster, and the bloody city gave him great strength, but it would not give him any good cultivation. Otherwise, he will be arrogant enough to call himself an evil emperor.

This kind of nickname is actually very shady.

Sitting on the sofa, Shen Yi muttered softly: "This little thing is so angry, when you know that your left eye is useless, you still have to go crazy?"

Although the Evil Emperor thought highly of himself, Shen Yi never took him to heart.

There are too many things for him to care about, and none of them is more important than the Evil Emperor.

For example, Tales of the Night.

There are still three days to go before the deadline, and the quest world of Tales of the Night has not yet appeared.

Considering that he had once crushed the giant beast Neidan in front of Lan Yan and them, Shen Yi was very skeptical that someone would take revenge for personal gain and deliberately prevent the mission world he wanted from appearing, after all, this was within the scope of the space manager's authority.

Although the space administrators at that time expressed their anger and forgave his actions, there are many people in this world who hide knives in their smiles.

Alas, in any case, offending space managers is not a good thing after all.

However, Shen Yi has already seen that this world is dangerous, and people are in danger, either trembling and walking on thin ice, or moving forward bravely without hesitation.

Since Shen Yi chose the latter, he was naturally prepared to take on everything.

―――――――

The next morning, the fat man went to see the mission as usual, and was disappointed to find that it was not a legend of the night.

Everyone was sighing, and suddenly the doorbell rang.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was a staff officer, who was standing at the door looking at Shen Yi with interest.

"Brother Shen, I heard that you are going to the mission world of Legends of the Night?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"A friend just told me that the mission of the West End today is the legend of the night. ”

"West Side?" everyone stood up at the same time: "You mean that today's mission to the West End is the Legend of the Night?"

"En!" the staff officer nodded seriously: "If you go over now, it's still too late!"

"Great!" everyone shouted, rushing out the door.

Just before leaving, Shen Yi's heart flickered.

He asked the staff officer, "By the way, who told you that the West End is a legend of the night today? Also, why did he suddenly tell you this?"

"His name is Trist, and I knew an adventurer in the West End, and everyone called him the Bowler Man because he always liked to wear a top hat. Today he suddenly came to talk to me, saying that he came to see me. Just now, he suddenly received a mission prompt and asked him to go back to participate in the mission, saying that it was a legend of the night. He said a word and left. ”

Shen Yi's eyes flashed: "You said that the Blood Emblem personally notified him of the mission he participated?"

"Yes. ”

"Only the tasks that must be attended will be notified of the coat of arms, that is, on the last day of his vacation, he waited for the mission well, but ran to you and waited for you to chat?

The staff officer was stupid: "You mean ......"

Shen Yi patted his head: "Little fool, don't let people take advantage of it so easily in the future." ”

As he spoke, he turned and left.

The staff officer shouted from behind: "Brother Shen, where are you going?"

"Where else? Mission, of course. ”

"But ......"

"No, staff, opportunities are traps, and traps are opportunities. At least there is one thing our old friends have learned, and that is ...... If you want to fish, you have to bait first. ”

PS: Q&A time.

Question 1: Why not choose a future technology world as the home world?

Answer: All future technologies are those that require investment. Thinking about the cost of buying an ordinary version of a car, and the cost of buying a mecha blueprint is nearly 10,000, how can the future technology of the future technology world be obtained for free?

Question 2: Why didn't the city build 10,000 ships to sweep the Zerg by itself?

Answer: If you don't read the book carefully, go back and reread the chapter of "The Truth".
