Chapter 145: Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf
System prompts: Complete the task of recruiting team members, Yangmei Team member experience +20,000 points, Fat Mayor's trust +10, Du Wei's trust +20, task evaluation: perfect!
Returning to the mayor's house and seeing the fat mayor waiting there, all members of the Yangmei Team received the same system prompt and shared the reward experience for completing the mission.
"Lord Knight!"
The fat mayor excitedly grabbed Zhao Xi's arm and said: "Please quickly lead people to eliminate the Shadow Wolf and let us resume copper mining as soon as possible. This is related to the life and death of Chenxi Town!"
Needless to say, Zhao Xi was also planning to lead people to complete the mission of eradicating the Shadow Wolf, because this mission was time-limited, but seeing that the other party was so impatient, he was not in a hurry.
"Mr. Mayor..."
Zhao Xi calmly sat down in the living room, sighed and said, "I was ordered to come here. My mission is to eliminate those damn shadow wolves. However, I paid a lot of money in order to recruit team members."
He pointed at the mercenaries waiting outside the door and said: "When I hire them, I have to pay fifty gold coins every day. Another example is this..."
Zhao Xi pointed at Ye Qianqian again: "This Lord Paladin of the Elf tribe costs one hundred gold coins a day to keep!"
Ye Qianqian, who was targeted, had black streaks all over her head. She wanted to yell at Zhao Xi: "I'm not being taken care of by you, I'm being taken care of!"
"And this..."
Zhao Xi ignored the twisted expression of the beautiful girl knight and pointed his finger at Fang Xu: "He has a big appetite. He has to eat two sheep in one meal, and he has to eat a lamb that is half a year old!"
Fang Xu burst into tears - Boss. Although I am a good eater, I really can’t eat two sheep in one meal!
"besides..."
"Lord Knight!"
The fat mayor came down and said: "I understand, I understand, I am willing to pay one hundred, no! Two hundred gold coins!"
"Two hundred gold coins?"
Zhao Xi's face grew long: "Forget it, you'd better hire someone else. I'm going back to Blackstone Castle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately stood up and walked towards the door: "Let's go!"
At this time, why didn't the other members of Yangmei Team understand Zhao Xi's intention? They immediately stood up and left. Fang Xu said angrily as he walked: "Two hundred gold coins? Send away beggars! I see the town.
All the money has been embezzled by the mayor, go back and talk to the lord!"
Zhao Xi secretly gave him a thumbs up.
"Lord Knight!"
Seeing that Zhao Xi and others were serious about leaving, and then hearing Fang Xu's words, the fat mayor suddenly panicked. He desperately hugged Zhao Xi's thigh tightly and howled: "Three hundred gold coins! I can do it."
Pay three hundred gold coins first. After the shadow wolves are wiped out, we will pay another two hundred, for a total of five hundred gold coins!"
Of course, Zhao Xi didn't really want to leave. He just saw the fat mayor's nervous look and felt that there must be something fishy in it, so he deliberately tested it.
If the fat mayor insists on being a hard-core cockroach, he has nothing to do. Because this task must be completed, but it is definitely an unexpected surprise to be able to get such a large sum of money from the fat mayor!
Zhao Xi accepted it as soon as it was good, nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay then, I'll forget about the loss."
The fat mayor went to the room to get the money as if he were mourning for his heir. Li Shuai couldn't help but asked: "Brother Daniu, how did you know you could get money out of this guy?"
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "He is so anxious to resume copper mining. He must have interests in it. If he hadn't spoken just now, I wouldn't have thought of it. If he thought of it, of course he wouldn't let go of the opportunity to slaughter the fat pig!"
Everyone laughed, and Ye Zhengxin gave Zhao Xi a thumbs up: "Brother Da Niu, you are still awesome!"
The Ye family brothers have always been proud and arrogant, but now they are convinced of Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi is not only highly skilled and powerful, but also has a flexible mind and a delicate mind. Having such a captain is definitely a blessing for the entire team.
Soon the fat mayor came out with the money, and Zhao Xi took the heavy bag of money and left with everyone.
Back on the street, Zhao Xi asked the mercenary Groot: "Are there any shops selling weapons and equipment in the town?"
Groot was stunned for a moment and replied: "No, our weapons and equipment are all purchased in Blackstone Castle. There are only smelting and repair craftsmen in the town."
"That's it..."
Zhao Xi touched his chin and said: "I think your equipment is too worn out. I will ask someone to accompany you to the city and give each of you a new set of equipment!"
If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. The minimum level of the 10 recruited mercenaries is 17. Although they are warriors, hunters, and archers, they have few in-house skills, but their strength is not too bad.
What's really bad is their equipment. Even the soldiers wear tattered leather armor, and the hunters' hunting bows look like toy-level ones, which are really unsightly.
It's hard to bear the child and not be able to trap the wolf. If we rely on such weapons and equipment, when the time comes to face a pack of wolves, these mercenaries will probably only be able to exert three or four points out of ten.
The mercenaries were all shocked, and Groot lost his voice: "Sir, are you telling the truth?"
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "Of course it's true. You go back quickly. We'll wait for you back in the tavern!"
He threw the money bag he had just received to Fang Xu: "You take them there, it's best to spend all the money!"
Fang Xu took the money bag and couldn't help but swallowed. 300 gold coins could be sold for more than 30,000 yuan. No one would have thought that Zhao Xi would happily use it all to replace equipment for NPC mercenaries.
However, Fang Xu also knew that there must be a reason for Zhao Xi to do this. He had no doubts about Zhao Xi's decision and immediately nodded and said: "Okay!"
The mercenaries finally confirmed that Zhao Xi was not deceiving them and cheered.
System prompt: Groot’s loyalty +10!
System prompt: Shaye’s loyalty +15!
System prompt: Alvin’s loyalty +15!
…
There is no doubt that Zhao Xi's generosity has won the respect of the mercenaries, and their loyalty has increased again. The loyalty of Saya and others is all the same as Groot, exceeding 90 points!
System evaluation: They are willing to obey the orders of their employers and fight. Even when facing powerful opponents, they will never retreat without the orders of their employers, and they will not betray in the face of great temptation!
Zhao Xi was not surprised at all. If throwing so many gold coins still had no effect, then he would seriously doubt the rules of the system.
After Fang Xu led the mercenaries away, Zhao Xi led the others back to the tavern.
The previous drinkers were still there, and they all looked in awe when they saw the Yangmei team with complete equipment and various professions.
Zhao Xi was not in a hurry, and occupied two wine tables with the team members, and asked the bartender to bring drinks and food.
The virtual technology of "Glory" is extremely powerful. Player characters will feel hungry even if they don't eat in the game, and their tongues can taste the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty. Therefore, those who like food but are afraid of getting fat are in luck. They can enjoy all kinds of food.
Delicious without worrying about weight.
Ye Qianqian asked: "Brother Daniu, after they come back, what will our next step be?"
After being warned by Zhao Xi, this beautiful elf knight restrained herself a lot, her eyes were straight and dignified, and she no longer fascinated the Ye brothers, An Xiaohai and other otakus with just a casual glance.
Zhao Xi put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "Take it one step at a time. We still have plenty of time. Let's go to the copper mine first and get familiar with the terrain. It would be best if we can encounter a pack of shadow wolves."
"But I feel like things won't be that easy. There are vampires controlling Shadow Wolf behind them, and vampires are difficult to deal with!"
He thought of Sandra who was beheaded by him in the golden sand dunes. This guy was a vampire.
After waiting in the tavern for two or three hours, Fang Xu finally came back with 10 mercenaries.
All the mercenaries were brand new from top to bottom. They were put on new leather armor and new weapons. Both the archers and hunters were equipped with three quivers filled with arrows.
In line with this, the morale of the mercenaries has been significantly improved, especially when other people in the tavern cast envious glances at them, their waists straightened up a lot.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the time was right, Zhao Xi ordered to go to the copper mine to eliminate the Shadow Wolf!
