The next two weeks will be a busy and crazy two weeks for the entire Plague City subordinate forces!
The planned total of four city defense battles was increased by one due to the success of the Black Soul Town battle. As for the lord who "enthusiastically" invited Liu Yifei and the others to assist, of course he also gave a very high price for everyone's hard work.
The price quoted is so high that it can even make up for all the hard work that everyone has put in over the past two weeks.
The success of five consecutive city defense battles resulted in the addition of five first-level small cities in the Kingdom of Solna.
At present, the strength of these new cities is still very weak, but after crossing the biggest threshold, the road will be almost smooth. At least before upgrading to the sixth level city, the city owners will not encounter too many obstacles.
Such an astonishing expansion of player power not only caused huge waves within the ghost clan, but also aroused great concern from the vast majority of people in the entire game world!
It is conceivable that in the near future, a group of powerful player lords will emerge in the ghost kingdom of Solna. Their strength will far exceed that of similar players anywhere else. Once the war between players starts in full swing in the future, Solna will
The influence of the kingdom's lords is something no one dares to underestimate.
Anyone can understand this simple truth, so just when Liu Yifei and the others were busy with the fourth city defense battle, the entire game world set off a similar craze for territory upgrades!
Special cases like Liu Yifei and Plague City are unique in the world. However, the lack of individual strength can be made up for by sheer numbers. As far as the player group is concerned, as long as it is not absolutely impossible, they don't mind passing it.
Try it in your own way, even if the cost of doing so is astonishingly high...
The first solution that players think of is to unite!
This time it is no longer a union of a large number of wandering player organizations, but a union of more advanced lord players and lord players!
In the past, player lords from various places would subconsciously regard the player lords in surrounding areas as their imaginary enemies. Even if the relationship was not incompatible, there was still a sense of competition and defense among them.
In fact, this idea is correct
Although at the moment, the living space in the game is very large, enough to accommodate several times more players and lords to have their own territories, there are definitely not many good places.
The so-called good places naturally refer to places that are not far from high-end monster areas, or have convenient transportation, or are surrounded by important resource deposits. These places will have higher development potential in the future.
Furthermore, as the level of player lord cities continues to increase, the scope of influence continues to expand. It is only a matter of time that you become hostile to other lord players sooner or later. It is absolutely right to be cautious from the beginning.
However, this prematurely limits the power structure. Just like money, if everyone hoards it, then the true value of the so-called equivalent of money will disappear. Only money that continuously circulates in the market can
Promote the continuous increase and accumulation of social value.
The "unintentional act" of Liu Yifei and his group just broke the power structure that was originally like a pool of stagnant water, forcing a large number of player lords to unite into one, even if this alliance is only temporary...
Originally, the way lords from various places chose to face city defense battles was to spend as much money as possible to buy war machinery from superior lords, and then while working hard to improve the town's defense system, they hired a large number of mercenary groups and guild players to help defend the city.
Not only does this approach cost a lot of money, but it may not be successful.
Once the city defense battle fails, not only will the already perfect town be completely destroyed by the beast tide, but also those heavy and difficult-to-move war machines will also be destroyed, even for the richest players. When encountering repeated investment,
They have to be cautious because their next investment may continue to be in vain.
And when the digital lord players unite into one, huge changes will follow!
Every household buys war machinery. But each household doesn’t buy much.
Seen separately, they are naturally useless, but if they can be gathered together, twenty or thirty bed crossbows will appear in an instant!
If the combined forces are rich enough, they can even set up ten crossbows on each city wall! Even if they are small, their power is comparable to about two thousand well-armed elite long-range players.
Then the lords jointly invested money to hire all the local players who were willing to participate in the war. Although this would also attract many people to cheat money, an elite combat force of thirty to forty thousand was definitely possible.
The most core elite players are left in the town, and the rest are ambushed outside the town as offline. Once the situation changes, they will use the phone to contact the online for emergency reinforcements. If used properly, these ambush troops can even turn the tide of the war!
As for the spawned spiritual boss, this problem should actually be the most difficult, but if the lords do not seek to kill, but only seek to delay, a thousand dead players will be enough to stop this spiritual boss.
In this way, as long as the lords sign a detailed cooperation contract offline, everyone will share the cost of hiring, and the war machinery will only be shared, and whoever owns it will still own it after use, although the whole process is quite troublesome and expensive.
It’s not cheap, but it finally brings signs of life to the originally hopeless situation!
Of course, there are feasible ways, but the player lords also have their own plans. This alliance of forces can never last forever. No one can say whether today's allies will become enemies tomorrow, so the relevant
This issue of order has caused a new round of controversy among various groups. After all, the earlier you upgrade successfully, the more time you have to accumulate strength...
Although there are still many problems, when Liu Yifei and the others finally ended their last city defense battle, countless similar lord player forces had been formed throughout the game, and more than a dozen small town territories had been successfully upgraded.
It has become a first-class small town.
Of course, if these dozen first-level small towns are placed on the entire world map, they will still not be able to make a splash, but at least this means the bud of player power!
The player class. From this moment on, it finally officially entered the world stage and quickly occupied a place in the entire world leadership structure! It is no longer the low-level adventurers who were dispensable in the eyes of the superior NPC lords.
Of course, all this is just an afterthought. Amidst this wave of violent shocks that spread to the entire game world, the "plague forces" that are the source of everything are surprisingly calm! Of course, they are also busy. What are they busy with?
?
One side is naturally busy dealing with the upcoming chaotic dwarf war, and the other side... is busy counting money...
"Hey, I'm talking about Huangquan! It's been two days and you still haven't finished counting your income? Efficiency! Efficiency! Can you put some effort into doing things?"
Early that morning, Liu Yifei originally planned to go to the City of Misery via the teleportation array to see if there were any good missions that could be triggered recently. However, he happened to see Yu Huangquan hurriedly running out of the teleportation array. He remembered the previous two
The task assigned by God. He mentioned it casually.
"Hmph! You bastard, you have the nerve to say that! It's not all you!!!
I said you are looking for some kind of loser? Why don’t you just give the money directly? You are actually doing something to pay off the debt with things...
Your sister! Just pay off the debt! Can’t you choose someone more reliable?
This guy's list is messier than my warehouse!
Oh my god! How many years has it been? I have never seen such a messy list of items!!! Those who didn’t know thought I was going to open a grocery store!!!
Do you know how tiring it is to count these things?
The little ones only cost a few yuan in total, and the big ones are thousands of yuan! Your sister! Where did they dig up so many messy metals from? My eyes are dazzled when I count these pieces!"
Liu Yifei was stunned, but he didn't expect that his casual words would hit the point of anger in Huang Quan. This tsundere girl who had obviously been tired for two days was instantly furious.
"Um...is it so confusing? Well...haha, I'm really sorry. In fact, I didn't read their supply list carefully when I received it. I thought it wasn't much...
But Huang Quan, I can tell you, this matter must be done well and not carelessly at all.
As long as this thing is done, we will be comfortable in the future!
You don’t know, that guy has many high-level craftsmen under him. If we cooperate with them, it will definitely be of great benefit to us in the future!"
The "that person" Liu Yifei mentioned was actually the "helper quota" they finally added as an exception.
In the past two weeks, Liu Yifei originally decided to only help four "allies" upgrade their territories. However, the battle in Black Soul Town achieved an unprecedented victory, and the Dark Lord simply uploaded the battle video to
After being quickly and manually pinned to the top of the forum, "that person" suddenly appeared.
The player ID who came to see Liu Yifei alone was "Qi Chengzhou". Liu Yifei was shocked when he saw this person's name.
A done deal?
This guy’s name is a bit too literary, right?
After some contact, Liu Yifei felt...
This man is definitely not just a literary artist! He is definitely a person with a profound story background!!!
Of course, this person came to see Liu Yifei not to tell his story, but to talk about alliance and cooperation.
When he heard that the other party came to talk to him about "cooperation", Liu Yifei was actually a little disapproving.
cooperate?
To put it bluntly, I just came here
In fact, Liu Yifei and the others had expected this to happen long before the Dark Lord's combat power to Plague City was revealed on the forum.
Whether the allies who successfully defended the city wanted to celebrate out of joy or wanted to take the opportunity to build momentum and attract popularity for their territory, it was impossible to hide the secrets of this war.
Therefore, Liu Yifei has already said hello to each family before, and even allowed you to appropriately weaken Liu Yifei's influence and exaggerate his own strength. In this way, it will not have a big impact on Liu Yifei and the others, but it can help all allies in the war.
They quickly gained popularity locally.
Of course, this kind of statement cannot be hidden from people who are interested. After all, the main force shown in the videos of several city defense battles is roughly the same. Anyone who is interested can notice it.
Therefore, Liu Yifei and the others also expected that more people would come to Plague City to discuss cooperation or assistance.
Of course, for those who come later, Liu Yifei and the others will also appropriately raise the threshold for cooperation. Only those who have been reviewed by Tower Shield, have no problem with their backgrounds, and are the strongest supporters of Plague City will gain the true friendship of Plague City.
But after "Qi Chengzhou" finished introducing his situation, Liu Yifei was stunned, and he was "shocked" by the opponent's strength!
Surprisingly, more than half of the players under Qi Chengzhou are players who mainly study sub-professionals, and they even include more than 700 senior sub-professional players from all walks of life!
What is even more unexpected is that Qi Chengzhou himself is actually a "comprehensive player" who has both combat profession and sub-profession!
For a long time, in various online games, the number of players of sub-professions has never been as large as that of combat professions. In addition to the boring nature of sub-professions, it is also related to the fact that various previous games have obviously tended to design combat professions.
Combat professions allow you to venture into the vast world. You can gather friends and face the most powerful bosses in the game together, and players with powerful combat professions are more likely to be praised and welcomed by the player class.
In comparison, the life of professional players is much boring. Many times they only need a small studio, and then spend almost the same days in one game after another. Except for those who aspire to become auxiliary professional players
, almost few people can stick to the route of life and career all the way.
Or, in most cases, professional combat players take part-time jobs in sub-professions. Even so, they usually have an obvious purpose, such as obtaining the attribute rewards of senior professional titles in sub-professions.
But in the game Heroes of Invincible OL, the "connotation" of the combat profession itself is enough for players to spend all their energy studying, such as full-time, part-time, minor and so on. The completely open career combination and rebirth settings make players almost
You can choose your favorite career without any scruples, and you will never feel bored if you keep experiencing and trying!
Moreover, this vast and seemingly endless virtual world does not leave much space for dedicated combat players to have the patience to stay in a small place to practice life and career. So far, players’ footprints have still only stayed in some relatively safe places.
It's just a "civilized area". Various wild areas and deep and dense places are still in a state where no one has set foot.
Therefore, the position of life occupations in the game Heroes of Invincibility OL suddenly becomes awkward!
For example, Liu Yifei, when he first started, he had wielded a hammer and made weapons for a while. If not, he would not have gotten to know the young assassin.
But at that time it was just to "make money to make ends meet", and as Liu Yifei's strength continued to improve, his adventures continued to deepen, and his horizons continued to broaden, he had not been exposed to life and career for a long, long time.
And in the game, there are tens of thousands of people who have the same experience as Liu Yifei?
But just when the game was in operation for three or four months, the spring of professional players suddenly came!
During that period, players gradually had more money in their pockets and began to think about how to better arm themselves.
The types and quantities of various raw materials produced by players have also accumulated to a considerable extent, which is enough for every professional player to show off their skills.
As life professionals reach advanced levels one after another, the probability of forging rare-level equipment continues to increase. In fact, so far, the reason why rare-level equipment has become popular among the player community and continues to move towards the popularization of excellent-level equipment is that life professionals
Our contribution cannot be ignored!
However, the spring of life professionals only comes in a month or two.
Because, no matter how hard the senior professionals work, the professional title level cannot go any further! Until the game was updated at the end of last year, not even a single master-level professional player appeared!
And this is also a big reason why players still can’t completely break free from the shackles of NPCs!
In major cities, although there are not many master-level NPCs, there are still some. Even master-level life occupation NPCs can be seen occasionally.
If you can maintain a friendly relationship with them, then players can spend a lot of money to ask them to help them make equipment or something.
At the master level, there is a certain chance of making king-level equipment, but as for the grandmaster level... no one has been lucky enough to try it yet.
The reason why Liu Yifei attaches so much importance to the cooperation with this "Qi Chengzhou" that he even did not hesitate to open an extra game in addition to the heavy battle plan to help Qi Chengzhou's small town full of buildings be upgraded to a small town. It is precisely because of this Qi Chengzhou
It was after the revision of the game that he became the first professional player to successfully obtain the title of "Master".
Moreover, he is also a full-time second-level and sixty-seventh level wizard! And he is also a Chinese player!
Being able to become the first master-level life professional in the game is enough to make even Liu Yifei, a compatriot, feel proud. He can still maintain such a high combat strength. Liu Yifei feels that this person must be a not simple person. If you just say
If you have perseverance, you may even be far above yourself!
At least, Liu Yifei now is not willing to spend all day in boring life and career...
After learning the details of the other party, Liu Yifei almost immediately finalized an in-depth cooperation with the other party!
I don’t know the specific origin of Qi Chengzhou, but he seems to have realized very early that in this game, the life profession has a profound connotation that is not inferior to the combat profession, so from the beginning, he even planned to go all out to follow the life profession route.
of.
Moreover, this guy has a bright mind and does not work alone. Instead, he tries his best to form a clique and gathers together all the life professionals he is familiar with and often in contact with!
In the early days of the game, when the life professionals were still in recession, they used the money they earned to subsidize or even support the combat professionals, letting them go around to some weird places to collect materials, and then use these materials to support themselves.
Get a job title, or make some rare and high-quality equipment that others can’t make.
As the team slowly expanded, Qi Chengzhou also established his own mercenary group - "Baobao Pavilion"!
And their mercenary group was also the first to take advantage of the rising tide of life professionals to soar into the sky!
Compared with other mercenary groups, they have spent a long time investing money in games to support the development of the organization, and have turned into game merchants with huge profits!
Qi Chengzhou was also very open-minded and took advantage of his abundant financial resources to recruit a group of mid-level players.
These players belong to the type who usually spend a lot of time online, but their performance is somewhat unsatisfactory. Especially because they failed to tinker with the equipment in time, they are somewhat frustrated at ordinary times.
It took a lot of effort for Qi Chengzhou to jump out this group of players, but the effect is also very significant!
That is this group of people who were originally average in power. After receiving funding and arms from the powerful "logistics force", their power suddenly increased by two levels, at least to the level of second-rate players in the game. However, the Qichengzhou Mercenary Group The "logistics" strength here is absolutely top-notch!
Because he followed the method of logistics-driven force improvement, when the mercenary group expanded several times in the future, Qi Chengzhou gave priority to those life-professional players who had good strength and obeyed the organization's arrangements to join the group, while combat players Mainly choose those with good discipline and long online time.
The overall salary of life professional players in the game is still not high. Although there are many large teams who can support them, the ones in your own family are basically enough. In an era when mercenaries cannot wear player equipment, so many life professions are needed. It's useless for players. Most of the time, players have to rely on their own equipment.
Later, although mercenaries were able to wear player equipment after the revision, the prices of the equipment that would be eliminated have already plummeted. Besides, except for Liu Yifei, who needs to raise so many mercenaries?
The "bottleneck" of life professionals is difficult to break through, and the popularity of life professionals is not high.
It is also in this pure buyer's market situation that those who can enter Qichengzhou's "Hundred Treasures Group" are all very powerful life professionals. Almost everyone has some special skills that others do not have. Usually they have mastered several kinds of skills. Rare formulas, or is there any way to increase your chances of making rare or excellent equipment.
Just about a month ago, Qi Chengzhou and the others finally found a small territory and then developed steadily. Now they have reached a town full of buildings, waiting to be upgraded to a first-class town.
As for the city defense battle of the small village to upgrade the town, Qi Chengzhou and the others hardly asked for help from outsiders. They just summoned more than 400 relatively powerful local players. They themselves were definitely the best in the city defense battle. The main force! As for their confidence...
It's because there are actually several senior carpenters in their group who can make motorized ballistas!!!
Oh my God!
That's a war machine! It's a basic war machine that requires at least a senior professional title to manufacture!
Even though it is a very rudimentary object, there is absolutely no doubt about the lethality of war machinery in small-scale battles!
Dozens of motorized ballistas moved toward the wall of the small village. It might just be a little troublesome to Liu Yifei's army, but to those tens of thousands of ordinary wild monsters, they were definitely already terrifying killing machines!
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many and too perverted monsters in the city-level defense battle, and there would also be spiritual-level super bosses. And Qi Chengzhou and the others were unable to make more domineering war machines like bed crossbows, I'm afraid this
A group of "life and professional madmen" will want to rely on their own abilities to survive the city defense battle!
If they can really succeed, it is conceivable that their reputation will be unparalleled for a while.
So although Qi Chengzhou finally came to see Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei paid much more attention to him than usual!
One side has strong combat power and numerous resources, but does not have enough advanced craftsmen to transform them into new combat power as soon as possible. The other side has superb technology but does not have enough self-protection capabilities.
It was a perfect match that hit it off!
Moreover, Liu Yifei still has a batch of blueprints in his warehouse that he doesn't know what to do with. The production requirements for those blueprints are extremely high. They are extremely precious. Liu Yifei finally brought them back from the Human Race and the Tower Clan!
You tell ordinary people, he is worried, leave it to Star Wars and others. He also feels it is a bit inappropriate. After all, their own life professionals have to meet their own supply needs. How can they be dedicated to Liu Yifei all day long?
What about making things in Plague City?
On the other hand, Qi Chengzhou actually has a bit of a secret.
Their territory is now quite famous in the local area, but this fame has brought Qi Chengzhou and the others not opportunities for development, but countless evil thieves who are watching!
Compared with other territorial forces, they...are still too weak
Monsters that can be killed may be afraid of the sharpness of the mobile ballista, but will players be afraid?
As long as they can seize a small town full of buildings, countless people are willing to take risks!
Recently, Qi Chengzhou has discovered that many sneaky people are lingering in his territory. Therefore, he urgently needs to find a reliable and powerful backer for his family!
At this time, he happened to see the video of Plague City's troops defending Black Soul Town. Combined with Liu Yifei's reputation in the game and the reputation of the Star Wars mercenary group, he immediately decided to come and contact the opponent.
On the one hand, he is the most powerful person and the strongest lord in the game, and on the other hand, he is also the undisputed number one professional in the game, and may have mastered the key to professional title promotion. Isn't this just how heroes cherish heroes?
The two chatted enthusiastically for a long time in Liu Yifei's lord's castle, and even finalized many details of in-depth cooperation in one breath!
Liu Yifei's understanding and knowledge of games are far beyond what ordinary players can match, but this Qi Chengzhou doesn't give in at all, and he also has unique insights into life and career!
The two of you said something to me, which made it seem like you were late to meet each other.
In such a pleasant atmosphere, both parties naturally settled the issue of "remuneration for combat".
In the remaining four city defense battles, Liu Yifei's main income was the real Union coins. In terms of game gold coins, the 200,000 given by the Duke of Darkness was the most.
After all, in the game, although it is easy to collect gold coins, they are spent faster! And as gold coins continue to depreciate, these non-professional organizations will not deliberately hoard gold coins.
But the situation is different when it comes to Qi Chengzhou.
The game gold coins he promised in one go were as high as 500,000!
This batch of gold coins alone is worth more than 400,000 Union coins!
As for why the other party had so many gold coins, Liu Yifei was not surprised at all.
They are serious "businessmen" in the game, and they produce and sell their own products!
For example, something like a motorized ballista is, to put it bluntly, just made of a pile of wood. Even if ordinary wood needs to be continuously processed and strengthened, wood is still wood after all. How much does it cost?
However, except for their Hundred Treasure Group, there are not many people who have the ability to sell such things by themselves. It can even be said that there is no one in the ghost tribe, at least in the Solna Kingdom.
Considering that more people who want to buy are not qualified to buy from NPC, they can sell it at a sky-high price!
Therefore, Liu Yifei had long expected that Qi Chengzhou and the others would be "rich".
Qi Chengzhou also understood that it was cooperation. After all, he was asking for something from the other party. Not only did he let Plague City help him upgrade his territory, but he would also have to rely on the other party's name to continue to mix in the future. So he was very happy and agreed to give him more money.
Fifty motorized ballistas were supplied to Plague City, but they had to be repaid in two months, with thirty delivered in the first month.
Fifty motorized ballistae!!!
The number of motorized ballistas in the Plague City today is only close to 250. One hundred units were purchased before the Plague City was excavated. Those batches were also used by Liu Yifei to eliminate them ruthlessly.
to the thorny organizations surrounding the City of Misery.
The rest was bought secretly from Emoni little by little according to Liu Yifei's instructions when Huangquan was at home.
This matter is extremely secretive, and only a few people know about it. Even among the Star Wars mercenary group, it is an absolute secret, and no more than three people know about it.
The reason why Liu Yifei is so careful is of course because he is afraid of being sneaked in by outside spies during Star Wars, and these more than a hundred mobile ballistas are definitely a good card in a pinch!
Now there is a sudden need to increase the number of fifty aircraft! Especially in the near future, thirty aircraft will be available first. For Liu Yifei, who is about to face a real battle, it is simply a life-saving aid!
In addition, Qi Chengzhou also promised that as long as they master the production process of bed crossbows in the future, they will provide ten more small bed crossbows to Plague City for free! And if Liu Yifei covers the cost, they will work hard to supply twenty more.
!
Although for now, this is just a blank check, it already shows Qi Chengzhou’s sincerity!
Under such circumstances, Liu Yifei couldn't hide his secrets, so he immediately ran over and took out a large stack of drawings from his warehouse!
The moment he saw these craft drawings, Qi Chengzhou, a master of life professional players, his eyes widened!
Oh my god!
What kind of drawings is this?
Just the simplest raw material processing requires an intermediate professional title! The production of some scrap parts must be done by senior professional titles. As for the core components of various finished products...
All of them actually require master-level experts!
Oh my God
Although a month has passed since Qi Chengzhou was promoted to master for the first time. But so far, there are definitely no more than fifty master-level life professionals in the entire game!
That's it. It's because there are so many different lives and professions that everyone can work together.
For example, among the professional jewelry craftsmen of Qi Chengzhou, no second master has appeared yet!
At present, there are many masters in the market who are miners and lumberjacks. It seems that as long as they collect enough high-end special materials, these collectors may be promoted to masters.
As for the second level of "production professionals", the number is even rarer and there are currently less than ten...
Among Liu Yifei's drawings, the ones he values most are naturally the frost-enhanced catapults, gale-force crossbows and other absolutely rare and powerful war machines!
If this batch of things is available, the combat power of Plague City will not only be increased by 10% to 20%.
And as producers, they can even sit on the ground and collect money!
Even Liu Yifei has never seen an NPC lord selling something like this out. If he were to sell it... a unit with less than 100,000 gold coins would be a no-brainer! This is a treasure that can truly lay golden eggs!
It's a pity that, in Qi Chengzhou's view, Liu Yifei's appetite is too big and too unrealistic. All of these things actually require master-level life professionals to make!
For example, master carpenters, master carvers, master enchanters, etc. If you want to gather these people in a short period of time, you can't even think about it.
However, what makes Qi Chengzhou happy is that he still found a currently usable alchemy formula among this pile of "temporarily useless garbage"!
This alchemical recipe was obtained from the Tower Clan and is called "Crazy Demon Potion"!
The effect is to increase the user's mental attributes by 50%, magic regeneration speed by 25%, and spell casting speed by 25% in the next thirty minutes, but it will reduce the spell casting success rate by 10%.
The success rate of spell casting is also related to the level of mental attributes, so this only negative attribute may be offset.
Although there will still be an hour-long "weakness period" after the drug takes effect, this drug can definitely turn an ordinary mage professional into a powerful mage within half an hour, and make a powerful mage
Become a perverted mage in half an hour!
As for Liu Yifei, a pervert who is already super strong...
Who knows what will happen to him after drinking this medicine!
Compared with the super powerful efficacy of this alchemical potion, it only requires two master-level pharmacists to cooperate with the refining conditions. It is already very light.
Qi Chengzhou promised Liu Yifei that he would be able to recruit two master pharmacists within a month at most!
Of course, according to the various valuable and rare raw materials required for these drawings on Liu Yifei's side, Qi Chengzhou also generously said that he would first pick up a batch and transport it to Liu Yifei's side. After all, these things will be used during the plague in the future.
The city was built here
For Qi Chengzhou and others, the grade of these raw materials is too high. Although they have collected some, it is tragic that they are useless so far.
And the momentary "chatting" between the two of them caused the next two days of tragedy for this unlucky guy, Yu Huangquan! Moreover, this tragedy seems to be far from over yet...
