"Smallback? What's there?" Born for War asked, looking at the place name Liu Yifei pointed at.
"It's not that there's anything, but it's closer to the White Rock City boundary in the north. If we want to quickly improve our strength, I think we should go north and try to get closer to the interior of Erathia.
In fact, strictly speaking, border areas like the Highland City jurisdiction also have their own unique advantages.
External communication is relatively convenient, and it is easier to discover some alien elements. For example, I think it is easy to acquire some relatively low-level magic knowledge, props and even equipment in the Highland City.
Or when you go out on adventures, you can fight some unique monsters that are only found in the tower area, collect some rare materials, and so on.
But even these advantages require a minimum strength foundation to turn them into assistance that can quickly enhance strength.
If you don’t have money, how do you get those magic materials?
Weak, why do you go out to fight monsters?
For a complete novice with nothing, being born in a borderland is actually quite unlucky.
There are fewer survival resources here, the public security is chaotic, and even the monsters in the wild are stronger. These are actually not conducive for novices to quickly accumulate strength in the early stage.
If we want to become stronger faster, we have to go north. While continuing to collect information about the man behind the scenes, we can also try to join the local army and participate in training, so that we can truly become stronger.
I know that in the near future, there will be a new round of recruitment in various urban areas. If Lengfeng can enter Baishi City before then, I think it will be a good opportunity."
"But... once you join the local army, you shouldn't be able to leave without authorization, right? Maybe you can't even leave the military camp casually. Wouldn't that make it impossible to continue chasing?" Born for War thought for a while and continued to ask.
"If we can really join the army, that's true. Based on the current situation, if we don't improve our strength quickly, what if we catch the opponent on the spot?
Unless we are sure that we can borrow enough help from the NPC, there is no way we can defeat the opponent.
Judging from the previous plots, the other party is very cautious. Not only does he hide his whereabouts very well and does not openly expose them to the public, he even deliberately avoids large gathering places at the town level and specializes in villages to attack lone NPCs in the wild.
If you are strong and cautious enough, such an opponent will be very troublesome.
In addition, you have also seen the attitude of those upper-level NPCs..."
"Captain, when is the recruitment you mentioned?" Leng Feng thought for a while and asked.
"I can't say for sure, it may be the next battle, or the next time. Winter conscription is a tradition in Erathia. During the off-season, those who are willing to join the army and have sufficient strength are gathered together for semi-closed additional training.
So if we want to participate, we have to move quickly and rush to White Rock City non-stop."
"Then if that's the case, let's go back to the highland city directly! It's safer in terms of time this way." Born for War suggested again.
"It is a choice, but don't forget that we have used the name of Highland City. Although it may not be big, it is not without the possibility of being exposed. Once exposed, the cold wind will probably be over~
And it’s the same issue I mentioned before. The situation varies from place to place.
If in a year and a half, I would agree to go to the border areas to serve as soldiers, then everyone will have some strength, and maybe in the event of a foreign war, there will be a chance to rise.
But right now... the foundation of cold wind is a bit too weak.
The City of Highlands has moved out of the hilly areas and gradually entered the mountains. If you want to serve as a soldier in the City of Highlands, the low temperature and low oxygen during the initial training will aggravate your fatigue and make the training more difficult..."
Liu Yifei's words were quite euphemistic. To put it bluntly, he felt that the cold wind passing through the border might not be able to withstand the recruit training in Highland City.
"Okay! Just listen to the captain, I will rush to Baishi City next!" After listening to Liu Yifei's detailed analysis, Lengfeng Chuanjing finally made his decision.
"Also, in addition to trying to join the military training in the campaign, in the normal mode, you should also fight as many monsters as possible and train as much as possible.
There are training grounds in each city. The contribution points from completing professional union tasks and municipal tasks can be used to exchange for the use time of the training ground. Although the effect is a little worse than fighting monsters in actual combat, the various facilities there are more complete, and you can practice some skills that are not normally used.
An easy project to practice.
Also! The most important thing is, remember not to die casually!"
"Ah? Can't die? Is there any explanation for this?" Born to Fight was stunned.
"...It's hard to say, it's just a feeling I have." This question was more difficult to explain. Although Liu Yifei reminded him, he was still vague in the end.
"Master, what about me? Is there any good way for us magicians to quickly improve our strength? Do we also want to join the army in the battle?"
"That's not possible~ If you cultural people want to become powerful, all you need to do is read books. When will it become a walking library? When will it come in handy?"
"Uh..." When he heard that he still wanted to read, Born for War's face turned green. He swore that he had read more books in the past week than in the previous year!
After determining the next direction of action, the three of them simply entered the plot directly in the library.
The background of the plot is that the three of them followed the traces of the mysterious mastermind from Rosen Town all the way north to the border town of Smokey Bike. However, they completely lost track of each other here, and they could only ask around in the town...
…
When the three of them came to their senses, they found themselves sitting together in a strange tavern. There was a lot of noise around them, which was in sharp conflict with the quiet environment of the big library a moment ago.
Since they had already decided on a plan to change their course of action, the three of them simply didn't even inquire and prepared to leave the tavern. However, when they were about to go out, they were stopped by a burly "drinking lady" (?).
"What? You don't have to pay for drinks?!"
The three of them silently looked back at the table they had just sat at... There was obviously not a single wine glass on the table, okay...
To avoid trouble, Lengfeng Chuanjing took out fifteen copper coins and threw them to the other party. As payment for the head fee, he rushed out of this illegal shop.
Fortunately, we collected a wave of game coins in the previous battle, otherwise we might have had to fight today. If the guards in the town or the like were alerted, the three outsiders might have gotten into some trouble.
Liu Yifei is used to this, so it’s not surprising~
The cold wind passed by and he muttered that he was a little worried about money - after all, people have been starved to death in their lives before, and they are still very resistant to this kind of lavish throwing of money to solve problems.
But Born to Fight only felt new. This kind of strange thing had never happened to him before. He felt that the battle mode of this game was more and more interesting...
