Chapter Seven: The Current Situation of Sanzang Town (I)
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and at the high-level outlook meeting of the mercenary group at the end of March, Sal took the lead in expressing his high opinion as usual.
“...... Sanzang Town is impregnable, and Binghe Town is thriving. All in all, the current situation is not a small good, nor a medium good, but a big good, a great good! As long as we can continue to maintain this momentum and continue to develop, then catching up with Centia and surpassing Faturi is simply just around the corner!"
"Uh-huh. Sermena, who was also a recorder, casually crossed two lines in her notebook as minutes. Saar's main business is to investigate everywhere and forcibly pull people into the gang, and he doesn't know anything about the development and construction of the base camp, but he doesn't know where to go, although Balabala says a lot, but in fact, it's just because the nearby law and order is good, and there is nothing to say about the effect of catching people, but he must want to speak, so he shouts slogans indiscriminately, and it has no value at all. "Of the 50 Blades of Truth assigned to you last month, only half of them have been executed once, so what insight do you have on this matter?"
"Uh......" Sal rolled his eyes, "It's not that there is a problem with the command, but the soldiers are too loose......"
"Okay, okay, we all know that those guys don't have a good brain, but we didn't expect it to be so serious, so we have to listen to your opinion, whether we want to continue to batch transform in the end. ”
The so-called Blade of Truth is a newly formed special forces unit whose purpose is to "become the blade of the homeland and cut off the hand of greed". All members are reincarnated warriors who have just been strengthened with bestial blood, with sharp claws and sharp teeth, and their individual strength far surpasses that of Tongji. It's just that, because of the little sequelae brought about by the beast, the mind is a little unbright.
"Although the ratified kobold is embarrassed to be useless if they don't listen to commands, and at most they are only worthy of being used as death squads, but the other beasts are very elite, and even the Knights of Truth are far from being opponents. Wisely, I thought that it would be enough to build those in the future. ”
“...... Sar, haven't you noticed that even the Knights of Truth are far from being the other beasts of your opponents, and most of them are the elite of the Knights of Truth?" If not, how can they enjoy Mike's brother's intensive package of 500 surgery and 700 percent discount, which still charges nearly 1,000 after discounting 700. Alas, it was a mistake to propose that your own people should also be charged.
"I see, no wonder the wise me always feel a little familiar. Thrall suddenly realized, "In that case, I suggest that only the Knight of Truth Werewolf be used in the future." We still have a hundred of them, and even if only half of them can get an increase of nearly 10 blades, under my wise leadership, how can a mere Mumaster worry!"
"Well, Brother Thrall, bloodline enhancement is not for everyone, and it can't be based on 10 blades. ”
10 Blades is currently the only one who can completely fuse the beast soul into a hybrid form while remaining rational, and is a gorilla-like bear goblin. Before, although he was tall and strong, he had a lot of brute strength, but his body coordination was poor, and he couldn't get an accurate head when he picked up an axe, and he could make a heavy meat shield and abuse dish. After fusing the beast soul, maybe it was the qualitative change caused by the large incremental change in strength, or maybe it was the wisdom of the orangutan that suddenly opened the mind, although the axe still didn't turn, but the big stone was thrown so accurately that No. 7 Raz's training time increased sharply, for fear that his position as the head of the 4th regiment of the knights would not be guaranteed.
"Wise as I am, I naturally know that only half of the will problem can succeed, so I said, 'Even if only half of it can get an increase close to 10 blades'. ”
"Well, you're still too optimistic. Sermena had a headache, and it seemed that she had only listened to half of what she had said to him before, "This 'half' refers to half of the people chosen by Goku and Koria, not half of the Knights of Truth. There is also the degree of improvement, which cannot be based on 10 blades. Do you know the grading criteria we use for this selection?"
"Of course! I deliberately calculated according to that a few days ago, and I am already level 16 in my wisdom, which is higher than the level 15 of Master Aland, and my mother no longer has to worry about my safety!"
Sermena holds her forehead. Although Sal is much more stable than before, he still talks like a child from time to time without going through his brain. "You, it's just now that the meeting is going to discuss this, I'll say it again, and when you go back, you can calculate it again and compare it with the previous calculation to see if there is any problem. We selected people this time, using the double standard of professional level and combat power level to judge ...... at the same time"
Any mature civilized race will have its own talent evaluation criteria, whether it is the academic qualifications/qualifications on the earth or the occupational level of another world, it is essentially the same. As the three major "civilized races" and the first "evil race" in another world, it is normal for humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs to have their own methods for determining their professional levels. Later, due to the increase in ethnic exchanges and cultural integration, the talent evaluation standards also continued to learn from each other, and finally the human standards were mainly absorbed, absorbing and integrating some elves, dwarves and orcs, forming the now widely accepted professional grade judgment standards.
Under this criterion, "talents" are divided into two categories: casters and non-casters, and the evaluation methods vary greatly from each other. The evaluation of the caster is based on the mastery of the spell and the ability to use it, while the evaluation of the non-caster is centered on the person, and the evaluation is based on the combination of primary and secondary abilities.
“...... You just said that Master Aland is level 15, and you used the caster part of the class level assessment. I use this evaluation as level 9, level 5 and level 9, which means that my caster level is level 9 and has mastered level 5 spells, and Koria is level 4 and level 12, which means that although his caster level is 12 levels higher than mine, the highest level of spells is only level 4. ”
"What about Brother Mike?"
"Level 5 is level 13, double level 5 is level 13, and the result of the caster's level is enhanced by the magic magic and the red robe secret technique. Mike was right in his words.
"Cut. Sermena pouted in obvious disbelief, "Back to business." This is the criterion we used to select people this time, the minimum level is 5. The reason is that this can be a good indication of learning ability. The beast form is too different from the human form, the equipment cannot be universal, the actual enhancement is not large, and you have to be able to master the hybrid form to have a significant enough improvement. In order to master the hybrid form, you must first practice body control, and those with strong learning ability have greater hope. ”
"I see. Sal nodded, looking like he had come to his senses.
"Then it depends on the level of combat power. After all, there are people who are good at learning but not good at fighting, so it is neither necessary nor suitable. ”
The combat power level, commonly known as the monster challenge level, is a widely used judgment standard in parallel with the class level judgment standard. The reason for this is very simple: the scope of application of the determination of occupational grades is too narrow to satisfy the broad masses of the people. Especially the practical needs of the majority of adventurers and friends.
In addition to combat skills, combat ability is also related to many factors. Within the same race, the differences between combatants of the same profession and rank are relatively limited in other aspects and are acceptable. Among the "four major races", elves and humans are similar in appearance and have the same degree of civilization, and there is not much difference between the two; there is no absolute superiority or inferiority between the dwarves and the thin and tall of humans, and it can only be said that they have their own strengths; although the tall and strong orcs have some advantages in terms of body, their degree of civilization is slightly lower, and they are usually inferior in terms of personal equipment, and on the whole they are basically the same as humans. Therefore, if it is used for horizontal comparison within the four major races, the determination of the occupational level is completely sufficient.
However, the comparison objects of the majority of adventurer friends are often not the four major races, but various monsters with very different body shapes and strange abilities. In this case, the error in determining the class level will be quite outrageous, and it cannot be used as a basis for judging whether you can go forward to challenge. Therefore, the majority of adventurers urgently need a new standard to measure the fighting ability of monsters, so as to avoid all kinds of inexplicable death behaviors to the greatest extent.
As a result, the combat power level judgment came into being. The basic principle is the analogy method, with the same level with reasonable cooperation and skilled war thief method herdsman team as a reference, the N-level squad needs to consume about 30% of the combat potential to defeat the target, and the combat power level is N-level.
However, the analogy is clear but meaningless, and it is not very common for a team of four war thieves to be a war thief, and it is normal for seven to nine war thieves to add one or two law pastors. What's more, high-level spellcasters have a wide range of abilities and different uses, and even low-level spellcasters are difficult to accurately estimate, not to mention the vast number of people who can't spell. Therefore, there is also a need for another criterion that is more acceptable to the broad masses of the people, and then the analogy method appears.
The criteria for determining Power Level 1 remain unchanged, and Power Level 2 will be changed to be equivalent to 2 Power Level 1 alliances, and 3 will be equivalent to 3 Level 1 alliances. After that, level 4 is equivalent to 2 level 2 alliances, level 5 is equivalent to 2 level 3 alliances, and level 6 is equivalent to 2 level 4 alliances...... And so on, to calculate all power levels greater than 3. For parts less than 1, the combination of several is equivalent to 1 and is determined to be a fraction.
Because the analogy method is relatively simple, and because the calculated combat power level is not much different from the combat power level calculated by the analogy method as a whole, it is generally accepted, and most of the monster levels that adventurers often mention are the combat power levels obtained by judging the combat power level by analogy.
However, although the analogy method is simple, there is one thing to be careful about when using it: analogy only works once by analogy. In other words, although level 10 is equal to two levels of 8, and level 8 is equal to two levels of 6, it must not be considered that level 10 is equal to four levels of 6, let alone 8 levels of 4. Many adventurers have never returned because they have consciously or unintentionally ignored this.
In addition, due to the lack of sufficient data to support it, analogy is usually used only to determine the average strength of the race, and another method is used for individuals, namely the valuation method.
The basic principle of the valuation method is to obtain a value based on innate ability, another value to obtain acquired ability, the higher of the two values to obtain the benchmark value A, the lower one according to the congenital and acquired ability correlation to obtain a plus value B, and then according to the equipment conditions to get another plus C, then the combat power level = A + B + C. If the estimate is good, the result can be not much different from the analogy result. Sal said that he was already level 16, and he was already a character who could be called a "master", using this standard, but the result was obviously seriously inconsistent with everyone's senses.
"Our criteria for selecting people this time are combat power level 4 to 5 when ordinary equipment. The reason is that the cost of beast transformation is not low, and it is cost-effective enough to be able to mention the intermediate level, and there is little hope that the strength is too weak within level 3; ”
Sal pouted: "There are so many of them, you can just say how many there are." ”
"Those are the 13 you saw. Sermena pouted.
"There is such a thing...... "Sal was shocked again, "the number has been numbered to 58." ”
"There's a reason for that, but there are only 12 of them. "Of course, there is a reason, how can it be called a broken surface if you can't master the hybrid form, and an ordinary broken surface is not worthy of being a ten-bladed one.
"And how many people did you pick?"
"29 is already all that can be picked out so far. ”
"That's right......" the wise Thrall was disappointed, but quickly came back to his senses, "Then it would be possible to do a little more ratification kobolds, at least much better than ordinary kobolds." ”
"On average, it costs 20 gold coins each, and the improvement effect is not obvious, but the mortality rate is quite high, so it is more appropriate to rely on a sensitive sense of smell to be a scout according to expectations. Sermena sighed. I originally wanted to benefit the collective and make a small profit, but I didn't expect it to be earned by Mike's younger brother, so unwilling.
The reason why ratification is so much cheaper than wolfification is that all the surgeries, adjuvants, and care that improve the success rate are removed. Coupled with the quality of the recipients, there were only five of the four hundred people who were semi-fused beasts, and one hundred and eighteen died for various reasons.
"What about the dark elves?" Thrall was not dead.
They felt blasphemous against the goddess and feared that they would be sent by the gods, so they resolutely refused to agree. "The half-dark elves don't have this problem, even Wattstod has found one, and he must be able to achieve a perfect fusion to become the 4th ten-bladed Ulquiora, but there is no need to say this kind of thing, anyway, the Sanzang family has nothing to do with them.
"Our dwarves would rather die than obey, saying that they would tarnish the honor of their ancestors. ”
"Alas, this won't work, that's not good, how long will we defend Sanzang Town......" Sal's whole dragon lay on the table weakly, and after he came back, he patrolled every day, but he was not allowed to fight adventurers casually, and he was bored to death.
"In my estimation, it's not a big problem right now. Wukong is more optimistic about this, "Since Sanzang Town was exposed, there have been twenty or thirty waves of people who have been here, and they should already have some understanding of the actual situation here." As long as our small commodity factories are not exposed, I estimate that by the end of this year at the latest, the gold mine rumors will gradually break down, and the ditch outside should be able to be connected before then, and the Blade of Truth will also work, so we don't have to worry too much. ”
The main wealth of Sanzang Town is currently a large piece of land, and the second is weapons and armor, the former cannot be robbed, the latter is not easy to rob, and the attraction to adventurers is not great. As for whether there will be any big forces to forcibly occupy it, Mike feels that the dark elf students will definitely be able to give them a big surprise.
"That's good. Thrall still couldn't lift his spirits, "Cecilia, help me make a bucket of apple juice, please...... Cecilia?"
"Don't shout, she's in Sentia. ”
"How so...... Sermena, you hurry up and practice a few useful spells, do you hear me? ”
"I know, I know, if it's okay, just be quiet for a while, don't delay everyone to discuss business. ”
"By the way, Brother Sal, some time ago you said that you want to practice human transformation, how is it?"
"I'm pretty much done with the wise. ”
Almost practiced means that it has not been practiced yet.
"I happen to know a set of flame system mastery, called Kusanagi Stream Ancient Martial Arts......"
Sermena stared at Mike fiercely, and the guy was back selling the imaginary stuff.
"Brother Sal, we'll talk separately later. ”
"Okay, Brother Mike, let's talk alone. ”
"Keep getting down to business. Brother Mike, what about your mountain giants, are you sure to surrender?"
A few days ago, while patrolling, Thrall spotted a group of evil races passing by, which seemed to be of good use, just in line with the appetite of Sanzang Town, which urgently needed to strengthen its strength. So the high-level of Sanzang Town solemnly brought the backbone of the staff and the dark elf welcome group to recruit, and the Guangshan Giant recruited a total of 13 of 10 large and 3 small, and there were dozens of ogres and hundreds of goblins, a few of which were quite powerful. No matter whether the ogre goblin species is strong or not, they are all labor reformed, and everyone in the mountain giant is divided. Master Zevahid picked the most powerful one to experiment, and the dark elf students chose five big and three small for a total of eight to prepare for slavery, and the remaining four were given to Mike.
"For my senior sister, the reward for helping us transform the werewolf is probably similar to the situation of your master Zevahid now. "Actually, the situation is still much worse, biochemical experiments VS undead transformation, but there is no need to tell you about it.
"Who is your senior sister?"
"If you don't believe it, you still don't say it. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"She is a very powerful spellcaster, ruling the country as a queen, single-handedly fighting against generations of evil red-robed mages......"
"Is her name Xinbu, is she one of the Seven Sisters? Your teacher is not the great sage Ilminster? ”
"You can see that!" Mike exclaimed.
Sermena rolled her eyes, Brother Mike is always mysterious, he doesn't want to say it, he doesn't want to say it, he says such a lie.
"What about Coria, why hasn't he come yet, we've been waiting for so long. Sermena looked at the time. In fact, what I said before was all gossip, and the key points of today's discussion were not mentioned at all, but Sal always talked nonsense, and Mike often digressed from the topic, and if you didn't let them all finish talking first, it would be almost impossible to discuss the issue seriously.
"You really don't care about our comrades at all, he has long said that he wants to go to the Yellow Rose Monastery to learn martial arts techniques from others, and he just set off impatiently after cooperating with Wukong to rectify the guards, and it has been half a month. When I contacted him yesterday, he said that it was very smooth and he was already studying, and he might not be back when, so let's have a meeting by ourselves without waiting for him. ”
Semena rolled her eyes, I was so busy with the rat people in Glacier Town that I couldn't touch the ground, how could I have the spare time to care about him. "You didn't say it earlier, Bai made everyone wait for a long time. Forget it, let's get down to business. The first phase of the small commodity factory, which was moved to Glacier Town, has been successfully reopened, and the second phase will continue after the expansion of the dungeon as planned. However, your husband said that someone wanted to order in large quantities, and asked us if we could reduce the cost and expand the scale. ”
