Thinking of the investigation, Zidi couldn't help but frown slightly.
The current situation is that she can't find anyone reliable to investigate.
Zidi sighed in her heart, there are still too few people available. Although the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group has been growing and making amazing progress since its establishment. When they were gathered together, they were full of talents. However, now that they are separated, the stall is slightly bigger.
It was immediately stretched.
In fact, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group has always been short of intelligence talents.
No matter how excellent the alchemy components or detection puppets are, they cannot replace people.
Every large organization has an intelligence agency. The main way for the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group to obtain intelligence is through outsourcing, and the Thieves Guild is the main source of intelligence for the survivors.
This is of course inappropriate.
From an ordinary person's point of view, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is just a small force. The strongest ones are only silver-level, and there is not even a gold-level one.
It is normal for a force or organization like this to not have an intelligence department. The cost of maintaining an intelligence department is very high, and it is difficult for small forces to afford it. In terms of costs and benefits, outsourcing to the Thieves Guild is very cost-effective.
of.
But Zidi firmly believes that the current small force is just the starting point of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group. In the future, their organization will definitely become a large force, and it is entirely possible to become a super force.
This is definitely not Zidi's extravagant hope or lofty ambition. The first reason why the ghost girl believes so deeply is the blood core.
With blood, everything is possible!
"For us, an intelligence department needs to be established. Intelligence personnel must be loyal and reliable, so the sooner it is established, the better."
"But it's not my job anymore."
"I have no clue about intelligence matters, and it's not my expertise. It's better to let the leader consider this issue!" Zidi thought in her mind.
For the survivors, the current focus is to contact the Baizhen family and build relationships with the top leaders of the Shengming Empire to atone for their sins.
The secondary focus is Zidi's business plan.
But when doing anything, funds are very important.
Economy is the basis of everything.
The cost of establishing an intelligence department must be huge. It is also a good way to atone for one's sins from the top officials of the empire and bribe them with money.
Although the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group has a lot of funds in hand, and the loot captured in the melee on Eye-Eye Island has made them fatter. But now, their consumption is also very large, and there will be more in the future.
It is unacceptable to sit back and have nothing.
While you still have the principal in hand, it is most correct to vigorously develop and invest to establish a stable flow of funds.
Taking a step back, even if the atonement fails, the survivors can rely on this foundation to survive for a while.
The Ice Sculpture Kingdom is isolated overseas, far away from the Shengming Empire. If the Shengming Empire comes to trouble the survivors in the future, this place can still be used as a temporary habitat.
Once Zidi successfully expands her business territory in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, the benefits will not only be funds, but also the acquisition of various scarce resources will become easier. Just like before in Snowbird Port, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group relied on the city lord
With his connections, he secretly purchased a large amount of rare resources, much higher than what could be obtained on the market.
Not only materials, but also human resources.
The dragon boy defeated Fujituro and made the dragon and lion mercenary group famous in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.
Once Zidi's business plan succeeds, the financial strength of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group will also be widely recognized.
Being famous and wealthy can make more people recognize the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group. In turn, the survivors can leverage higher-level human resources from the Ice Sculpture Kingdom. For example, accomplished alchemist masters, skilled pharmacists,
Or intelligence talents who sincerely rely on them, etc.
The vast majority of talents are qualified to recruit only when the organization has a certain level of strength.
That is why he who knows the current affairs is a handsome man, and good birds choose trees to roost in.
Without certain strength, talented people are looked down upon.
Only rare people like Buquan can join the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group, and this is just a special case.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Buquan this time. She improved the manufacturing process of dragon riding potion and increased the output several times."
"For her, such improvements are just basic abilities."
Zidi knew that she would never be able to do this.
Not long ago, she was very pleasantly surprised when she got the news in a letter.
The huge increase in production gave her more confidence in implementing her business plan.
"It's not in vain that I tried so hard to persuade her."
Zidi is very envious of Buquan's alchemy talent, but there is no jealousy at all.
She is a businessman and knows the concept of human resources very well.
With the addition of Buquan, it will be of great help to the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group. The income is huge now, and it is likely to be even higher in the future!
Of course, Zidi knew Buquan's admiration for the dragon boy.
But the ghost girl believes more in the relationship between her and the dragon boy. The experience of the mysterious island and the secret of the blood core are the cornerstone of the relationship, and they are also the distance between the dragon boy and Buquan.
"The pharmacy market in Blood City has been well observed in the past few days."
"The next step is to choose a few people to stay and work in the shop in Blood City."
This is part of Zidi's business plan. Doing so will strengthen the relationship between her and various sales points.
The group of people who can travel with Zidi are all carefully selected by her.
Some are mercenaries who joined Snake Island and Double Eye Island earlier. Some are snow elves recruited from Snowbird Port. Most are humans and snow elves, but there are also tauren, dog people, water pig people, etc.
.
Someone of your own must get involved and take charge of the business, otherwise it will be easy to be controlled by the other party simply by relying on the manpower of the Utama family.
Zidi decided to leave behind a dog tribe member and a snow elf.
The Snow Elves can blend into this environment, while the Dog Clan people can keep their distance from the surroundings and ensure their loyalty to the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.
It is inappropriate to be too integrated, as it is easy to be leveraged and instigated to rebel. The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group are outsiders, and this is the country of snow elves. Snow elves are sent to every sales point, which is not safe.
It is not good to think too much about loyalty but be too isolated from the outside world. If you cannot integrate in, it will be difficult to open up the situation, not to mention business losses, and even cause fierce conflicts, leading to local people attacking shops and other bad incidents.
Opening a branch is not that easy.
Zidi must carefully build a team structure and build a moat of power to lay a solid foundation for a long-term and stable business.
In this regard, although Zidi lacks practical experience, she comes from a businessman family and has seen the operation method from her father. Influenced by her ears and eyes, Zidi has full confidence in herself.
"Every time I go to a city, I will leave a few people behind. As we go all the way to the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, a sales network will be initially established."
"Zong Ge disliked the fact that the group of people I selected were not strong enough to fight. When he was in Cold Wind Valley, he wanted to use these people as bait. Little did he know, these people were all assessed by me secretly and could all be part of my business plan.
Cornerstone talent.”
Reaching cooperation with the Satoma family is definitely a major breakthrough for the survivors!
The survivors did not understand this meaning, except for Fat Tongue. When the latter heard the news of Zidi's success, he was so excited that his whole body trembled, his eyes lit up, and he sighed: Looking at Zidi in front of him, it was like seeing an old man.
President!
With the help of the Satojian family, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group is like a vine, embedded in the original tree trunk, absorbing nutrients and growing rapidly. In this way, the development of the survivors directly transcends the initial weak period and saves a lot of money.
time, seize the critical opportunity, and more conveniently occupy the market share of the entire kingdom.
Blood City and Snowbird Port are very close to each other, so the two people Zidi chose are relatively weak. In the future, when we get to some important cities, Zidi will choose some more promising ones to stay.
"We can leave after the first batch of caravans from Snowbird Port successfully arrive at Blood City," Zidi planned.
"Of course, you still need to be careful when leaving."
They were unaware of the enemy in ambush.
"So, having funds alone is definitely not enough. Even having too much money can be the source of trouble. Force is the guarantee of everything."
Zidi put aside her plans for the time being, took out the soul crystal, and began her daily practice.
Under her absorption, the size of the soul crystal continued to shrink.
A strange wave occurred in Zidi's body.
The ghost girl's body trembled slightly. At this moment, her mage level rose by one level.
She has officially been promoted from bronze level to black iron level!
Zidi was not surprised at all.
Being promoted to a black iron level necromancer was already within her expectations.
She was a black iron-level mage. After her death, her soul was transformed by negative energy and successfully transformed into a ghost under the influence of Cang Xu's spiritualism.
Her life level has always been Black Iron level. But the original mana pool remains in her body, and her mage level has returned to zero.
She had no choice but to re-establish her mana pool and restart her practice as a mage.
Her lifetime experience and black iron life level have brought great help to the mage's practice.
"Finally back to the black iron level." Zidi sighed.
Extraordinary practice usually involves quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes.
But calculating the time, it actually didn't take long for Zidi to recuperate. The main reason why she felt it was long and torturous was that she urgently needed a higher-level mage level.
Because she usually plays the role of a silver-level mage and relies on the bronze-level mage level, she is under a lot of pressure.
Now that it has become a black iron level, the secret pressure has been reduced a lot.
"On the other hand, it can also save the consumption of pearl foam."
This is easy to understand.
The bronze mage level plays the role of the silver level. It is naturally different from the black iron level, which plays the role of the silver level.
"But there are not enough soul crystals."
As a ghost, it is the instinct to eat souls. Doing so will cause memory confusion, personality deviation, and even loss of consciousness, falling into madness and other negative states.
The fate of most ghosts is that they cannot resist the instinct of eating. The more they eat, the more they become addicted to the instinct. Under the erosion of negative energy, they become beasts that hate all life.
Soul crystal is different. It is extremely pure and is a perfect substitute. Not only can it satisfy the desire to eat, but it can also improve the ghost's background and enhance mental power without any sequelae.
