.Chapter 28 The Shadow of War

Life seems to be back to normal again~

Players are engaged in various monster killing tasks, and the growing player lords from all sides are also busy accumulating strength and breaking through bottlenecks.

Even due to the launch of the "Lord Knowledge" system after the game version upgrade and the modification of some settings related to academic skills, even the strategic map, which has gradually lost popularity a while ago, has recently gained a second spring. Every day, people in various system cities

The hero hall was packed with people, and at first glance they were players completing strategic missions.

Compared to the calm situation in the outside world, everyone in Plague City has ushered in another stage of intense preparation for war.

After coming out of Mokmora's hut that night, Liu Yifei gathered everyone again for a meeting that night, picked up the important news and told everyone about the severe situation that would be faced behind the Plague City.

Especially regarding the terrifying thing like the Chaos Demon, Liu Yifei emphasized it to everyone again and again~

This is definitely the first time this thing has appeared in front of the player community.

Otherwise, it would be so outrageous, as long as it appears in the game normally, there would be no news at all on the forum~

The only reasonable explanation is that they became the first people to "eat crabs", and the most terrible thing is that this crab is obviously thick-skinned and extremely strong.

Crab claws will inevitably cause head injuries and bleeding.

While continuing to emphasize the importance of continuous military training, Liu Yifei also began to assign relevant combat tasks.

Among all the people, Liu Yifei and the little assassin actually have the lightest lord tasks, followed by Lone Hunting Doll, and then Suoklan and Xiaocao, while the dark witch Xuelan and the masked warrior Wu Huangquan are the actual ones.

The busiest people in the world, because now they have to take charge of all kinds of trivial matters in the territory of Plague City, they have completely become Liu Yifei's housekeeper.

Judging from the workload, the most suitable candidates for continuous reconnaissance missions are actually Liu Yifei and the little assassin. However, out of some selfish motives, Liu Yifei finally handed over this arduous task to Lone Hunter Doll, and left Lone Hunter Doll temporarily.

Some tasks that need to be busy are handed over to the hands of the little assassin.

The reason for making such an arrangement was mainly because with the help of the old lizardman village chief, the lonely hunting doll successfully released the original two storm crows and captured two six-legged flying lions as war pets.

For the Lone Hunter Doll, this is equivalent to improving its combat effectiveness by a large margin out of thin air.

With a six-legged flying lion, the Lone Hunter Doll can already "take off to fight". Although the original Storm Crow can also fly, it is difficult to fly with people on its back, so once a fight breaks out with the Lone Hunter Doll, she herself

You will still become the target of enemy fire.

However, the six-legged flying lion can carry a standard-sized person into the air to fight, so the gap is huge, especially since the hunter is still half an archer. As long as he thinks of getting some props or equipment,

If she has two levels of riding skills, she will be completely tough.

And with two six-legged flying lions, it's really incredible. With the exchange of turns, the ordinary hunter Gu Hunter Doll instantly becomes a "mid-air unit".

It was also because of this consideration that Liu Yifei assigned the Lone Hunting Doll to investigate and alert the Fire Ax Tribe. After all, Gregory was too big to get close to him, and the six-legged flying lion could move freely as a battle pet, and the hunter

It has stronger survivability in the wild, and it would be a waste not to use it.

Of course, there is no bad news~

After actual testing by the old lizard man, the six-legged flying lion is not considered a sixth-level creature, but because its blood does contain the blood of the manticore, its strength is a little higher than that of ordinary fifth-level creatures~

The young lizard man tamers in their tribe are not qualified to tame the six-legged flying lions. They can only rely on the old lizard man to tame and capture some every day. However, they can increase their efforts to tame the cave spiders.

Because dwarves are obviously capable of the unique mount "Giant Spider", so the young dwarves in Gruhar Village don't have to worry now. As long as they are strong enough, they can get a powerful enough mount at any time. Compared to Sawtooth Crocodile

, burrowing spiders that can spin silk to capture prey and build burrows to lurk have more strategic value.

Now the little assassin is mainly responsible for this matter. He leads the lizardman trainers to catch crypt spiders on a large scale to the west of the Storm Outpost every day, striving to clear this entire place as soon as possible~

The entire territory was in an orderly situation, and there was no panic due to the impact of the impending war.

At this time, great news came from Tower Shield.

That is, after an internal decision in their Star War Soul Studio, their boss finally made the decision to continue to deepen the scale of cooperation with Liu Yifei and Plague City, and agreed to the overall strategic merger of the two parties.

As for the specific details of the cooperation, Liu Yifei will have to discuss it in detail with some of the cadres in charge of these matters in their studio every day after he goes offline.

In the game, Tower Shield first moved a group of players to the territory of Plague City under the instruction of their boss.

This group of people is what Liu Yifei has been waiting for for a long time, that is, many senior associate professional players.

From the Dickwell Kingdom, Liu Yifei used his accumulated achievements to collect many good things from the city lords of Glory City and White Rock City, one of which was a large number of craft drawings.

Of course, due to the adjustment of the system version, the gap between mercenary equipment and player equipment has now been eliminated. As long as it is equipment, everyone can use it. However, this has little impact on Liu Yifei, because all the equipment he collected

It is the manufacturing process drawing of "war machinery"

The preciousness of these gadgets is self-evident.

Because except for the original NPC lords, it is impossible for players to obtain these manufacturing methods. Even if you train the carpenter's deputy job to the expert level, you still can't learn some war machines that senior carpenters can build~

This is called "technical confidentiality".

With these blueprints and techniques, every time a blueprint is consumed, it means that Liu Yifei has an extra rare talent who can manufacture war machinery.

Of course, such a good Liu Yifei and the others would not dare to post casually.

After all, the player is a living creature and a floating population. If you teach him a way to make money today, he may change his job and find another place to work. Even if he doesn't work, he may still find a place that can give him a higher salary.

I'm not saying that all players are so ruthless, but there are definitely some realistic people among them.

The recruitment purpose of the Star Wars Mercenary Group is just to avoid causing trouble. You can’t say that you still control people and don’t let them make money, right?

There is no such truth in the world~

So regarding these drawings, Liu Yifei definitely didn't dare to shine. He could only say that he was looking for those people who were originally from the studio and were ordered to join the game to play sub-professionals and assist in the development of the mercenary group to discuss how to learn to build war machinery.

problem.

But unfortunately.

All war machinery, such as catapults, crossbows, and catapults, are made of wood. The main sub-job required is a carpenter, and some important parts require a high-level engineering deputy job.

It’s easy to find people who practice engineering, but there are really too few who practice carpentry~

The game has indeed entered an era of oversupply, which is a great thing for all sub-professional players.

Because only when there are more materials and the cheaper the raw materials are, can they consume a lot of raw materials to increase their deputy level~

But this is only for deputy jobs in a general sense, and there are some relatively unpopular deputy jobs, such as carpenters, whose spring has not yet come~

When will a carpenter start to shine again?

That is when the player lords develop and grow one after another, have territories and cities, need to build various special buildings on a large scale, and need to produce a large number of war machines on a large scale, then the spring of carpenters will come.

at the moment?

It was definitely the twelfth lunar month of winter.

The Star Wars Mercenary Group has been very committed to collecting all kinds of rare talents. Whether it is combat professions or sub-professions, as long as they are advanced and rare talents, they strongly welcome them~

But even so, there are nearly two thousand people in the entire mercenary group, and Liu Yifei is stunned that he can't find a "carpenter" above a senior level. This shows how scarce this deputy position is right now.

After talking to Tower Dun about this matter, they also realized the huge role of carpenters in the later stage, especially since Liu Yifei also had so many craft drawings in his hands, which will undoubtedly greatly strengthen the terror of his carpenters in the short to medium term. "

Profitability

What you can build, others can’t build. This not only means that you have stronger combat power than others, but also means that you have infinite room for profit. It is also a seller’s market, with absolute huge profits~

Tower Shield's method was to adjust the secondary positions of the three professional players assigned by the studio from the original potion emergency wash points to all carpenters.

In the game, blacksmithing, potion, and tailoring are the three categories with the most sub-job players. Blacksmithing and tailoring also involve equipment and repair issues, so there is still some profit margin, but the profit margin of pharmacists is really compressed infinitely.

Unless you can have a very special formula that no one else has, and can make medicine that others can't make, at least most people can't make, otherwise the leveling up of pharmacists nowadays is basically free of charge.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to immediately let the three professional players in the club become carpenters. Moreover, these three people are already members of the studio, and their loyalty is guaranteed. There is no need to worry about the follow-up matters.

Liu Yifei thinks it is a blessing to have such a reserve carpenter, but the problem is that it is very difficult to level up a carpenter. It won't be long before he can train the carpenter's deputy job.

But at such an important time, the little assassin came up with a dirty trick

For example, for a blacksmith, when he is a blacksmith apprentice at the beginning, he can increase his skill proficiency by doing chores such as repairing and forging metal ingots, but what about a carpenter?

For example, if a piece of wood is broken and needs to be repaired, will their proficiency increase if they mend it?

This suggestion greatly reminded Liu Yifei

They now have small bed crossbows, motorized crossbows and various types of supply vehicles. They are all made of wood. They can cut off some of their durability and let the three newly transferred carpenter apprentices have a try...

..It actually works. It really increases skill proficiency.

This was so amazing that everyone around me was so happy~

Let's just leave this matter to Tadun. It would be best if we can quickly find three useful senior carpenters for Liu Yifei in the next week~

Compared with the smooth sailing in territorial affairs, matters related to the war have strangely fallen into a quagmire.

Liu Yifei had already gone to Toradre to inquire, but he didn't expect that the answer given by Toradre was almost the same as that of the old dwarf, which meant that there was no good way to deal with these strange energy creatures.

Liu Yifei originally thought that the properties of creatures like Chaos Demons should be very similar to elemental creatures. However, after Toradre's explanation, Liu Yifei realized that they were completely different.

In terms of their appearance, chaos demons and elemental creatures do have many similarities. For example, they both have no physical body, and they both have a considerable reduction effect on physical damage, etc.

However, the system of elemental creatures is classified under the four major sources. It is the "power of elements" under the "source of the universe" and is one of the eight secondary powers in "order".

And what about the Chaos Demon?

There is no comparison, there is no "order" at all, it is purely a collection of chaotic energy.

Of course, Toradere is not without good news at all.
To be continued...
