Chapter 380 379. Xiao Weiming encounters a strange uncle
The special profession "Soldier and Commander" activated by the Happy Stick is not a combat profession. If you have to look into it carefully, this thing is actually more similar to a special "life profession".
The perfect contrast between the commander sequence and the administrative players forming a "civil and military combination" is the greatest freedom and respect Murphy gives to his little players.
Just like the declaration of the "development team" he belongs to, no matter what plans and designs you have for your life, no matter what reasons you are unable to achieve your life plan in real life, you will be able to do it in Transia
There is a chance to start over!
Of course, when Murphy designed this career system, he took into account quite realistic factors.
That is, no matter how talented ordinary people are, it is difficult to form a complete set of tactics and strategic thinking without professional training. Therefore, the final destination of most players who switch to the "soldier" profession and want to pursue the addiction of generals
Maybe he was just a captain leading ten NPC soldiers into the battle.
Even most players' poor intuition about war and untrained command skills are not enough to be qualified as a ten-captain, but even so, this is enough to satisfy many people's war fantasies.
Moreover, Murphy's career plan was not a random one.
The complete commander career sequence of "soldier-commander-general-commander" is reserved for P Society war criminals who will definitely enter the game on a large scale in the future.
Come to think of it, those guys who chant "Gao Ping Ping Ping Ping, Military Court, Neutron Kill, Earth Split and Sky Fall" all day long will absolutely love this professional system. Once they enter on a large scale, they will definitely use their genius for war.
Let's creatively show Murphy what it means to die and trigger a siege net, and then tear the siege net apart with his hands.
Of course, the shortest time will be more than two months later.
In Murphy's plan, that time is enough to ensure that Transia's military establishment reaches a moderately successful level, and when the Black Disaster is approaching, it is also the perfect moment to introduce wild military talents on a large scale.
At this stage, Murphy’s planning for Transia is still focused on the construction level.
As for how Happy Sticks can build the "Maginot Line" in the south, that is not within the scope of Murphy's consideration.
It is said that they have blueprints of all strategic defense lines from the Middle Ages to modern times on the Internet. If Happy Stick still messes up this matter, then Murphy will definitely send him to a military court for "malfeasance in duty"!
Perhaps at that time, the proud Brother Bang can light up an incredible achievement of "No. 1 on the server! Military court gallows experiencer".
It's fun just thinking about it.
With this thought in his mind, Murphy did not stop what he was doing. Since he quit his job and became a "dog planner", his "multitasking" skills have become more and more proficient.
"Our intelligence agent 'Pangolin' working on the secret front brought us the latest news."
At this time, in the conference room, Murphy, whose mind was wandering to nowhere, was pointing at a simple map of the filthy swamp. He met Maxim, Kudel, Adele and the invited White Mountain Earl Ann in front of him according to the script.
Andre said:
"After the pressure of the skeleton army faced by the gnolls of the Bloodclaw clan was weakened by our diligent and fearless warriors, it sent the clan's elite soldiers into the swamp. The body shape and physiological characteristics of the gnolls made them naturally suitable for charging into terrain such as swamps.
.
So far, the Bloodclaw clan has explored several safe paths deep into the swamp.
But that's not the point!
The key point is that Pangolin has confirmed that a special force composed of gnolls and poison warlocks under the Bonebiter clan is operating on a large scale in the foul swamp.
They are looking for the legendary 'Lost Treasure of the Bone-Gripping King'.
We still don't know why the gnolls do this, but from a strategic point of view, destroying all the enemy's plans is the way to win.
Therefore, while the southern defense line was being built, I decided to send the Shadow Intelligence Agency to the swamp to cooperate with the Jackals of the Blood Claws to find out more information. We must know more inside information before the Jackals start their next move."
"I will redeploy manpower immediately."
Mrs. Adele, the head of the Shadow Intelligence Bureau, responded immediately:
"The Dark Baron is my territory, and I should contribute to that land. Therefore, I will personally take charge and supervise this operation to ensure that it achieves the results you want to see."
Murphy nodded.
He knew that Adele's initiative was not only due to duty and the dedication of the vampires, but also partly due to the corpse witch Bella who was currently hidden in the secret room of the Blood Vulture Corridor.
Adele does not want to see Uncle Bella and Aunt Bernice, whom she regards as her elders, continue to be controlled by the jackal warlocks, and Murphy estimates that Adele may want to take this opportunity to find out something about her "hometown".
"Things related to that.
Ever since she told Murphy about the existence of the "Half-Elf Valley", she had been thinking about bringing that valley under Murphy's rule.
Adele is not a fanatical fool.
She saw with her own eyes the prosperity of Scarlet Keep under Murphy's rule.
She knew that in the context of the impending black disaster, entrusting the future of those "people" who were not actually close to her to her master was the best way she could find for her people.
Half-elf sounds mysterious, but this kind of hybrid represents a miserable fate in this continent.
The elves will not accept them, humans also regard them as aliens, and the gnolls will not care about the difference between them and other races.
In the Dark Mountains, a place where the weak and the strong prey on each other, her people are considered a piece of fat food with thin skin and big stuffing in the eyes of all forces.
You must find support! You must hold it in your lap, otherwise this time the black disaster will come, and before the black disaster comes, your poor people will suffer eternal extinction.
After Murphy finished talking about the mission for the Shadow Intelligence Bureau, the Earl of Baishan who was invited also understood.
Oh, let me ask you, Murphy, why did you suddenly invite me, an outsider, to participate in this high-level military meeting, and then you were waiting for me here for a long time?
Andre shook his head. He hoped to take on more responsibilities in Transia, so he stood up and said:
"Since it is a covert operation, how can we not include the Nightcrawlers of the Thorn Clan? Lord Murphy, my followers and I took the initiative to apply to join this operation.
In the name of the Holy Blood Alliance!"
"That's exactly what I want to see."
Murphy nodded.
There is a group of intelligence and assassin masters who are good at maneuvering and stealth in their own territory. If they don't make good use of them, the good assistance Mrs. Shani sent this group here will be in vain.
But the vampire lord still warned seriously:
"You two must pay attention to your methods when cooperating with the Bloodclaw clan. Those gnoll warlocks hiding in the swamp are not alone.
Although Tris is still unable to determine where the gnolls learned the death power from, she is certain that there is a large and dangerous undead army guarding them.
The Skeleton Disaster that occurred in Smuggler's Grove was just the active erosion of the aura of death caused by the large-scale gathering of this legion, and it did not even represent their tactical purpose.
Therefore, do not have a direct conflict with my warriors before they are assembled in large numbers, and do not alert them.
The current construction situation in Transia is stable and improving, and we cannot suddenly interrupt the construction process at this time."
"Yeah, I understand."
Earl Baishan nodded.
But in his heart, he was somewhat dismissive of Murphy's concerns.
This is not arrogance.
Just based on the self-confidence generated by the racial characteristics of the Thorn Clan, these super assassins under the midnight are not second-rate professions like the night crawlers of other clans.
For the Thorn clan with the racial specialties of "Permanent Night Hidden" and "Silent Action", as long as they don't want to be discovered, no one can discover them.
From this point of view, the Midnight Blessing received by the Thorn Clan is no less than that of the Blood Vulture Clan, and may even be a little more.
——
"Hey, Xiao Ashina, what is that in your hand?"
In the camp outside the city, in the station belonging to the Pride of the Silver Moon, Meng Haha, who had just joined the team, completed the job transfer as a psionicist apprentice. He was holding the handbook introducing dark psychic impact techniques and reading it over and over again.
As a result, I was disturbed by the noise made by little Ashina, who was flapping her wings and happily flying into the camp.
Moeha turned around and saw Ashina pouring out a lot of strange things from a small bag.
She curiously went up to take a look, and found that Xiao Ashina took out one of the "pieces of paper" dumped on the table and shook it in his hand. The little man said in a relaxed tone:
"Scratch it! Haven't you seen this thing before? No, you're not stuck at home all day. You must have seen this thing and played with it when you were able to go out and play freely."
"Of course I know it's a scratch ticket!"
Mengha frowned.
She picked up a piece of paper and put it in the palm of her hand. Due to the physicist's natural aversion to "uncertainty", she had always stayed away from this kind of luck betting in real life.
she asked:
"I mean, why is this kind of thing in the game? Where did you get it?"
"When I went to the sewers to hand in a random mission, I found a special NPC selling this thing in the tavern of the Blood Rat Gang.
It’s said that Ms. Dorothy found a new ‘profit growth point’ for their gang.”
Xiao Weiming said excitedly:
"I know this thing is a lie, but I can't control my own hands. When I see such an interesting thing, I must buy it back and play with everyone.
As for why this thing appeared in Transia.
Hey, need I say this?
Some clever little guy must have passed on his "life experience" to the NPCs. The NPCs here are all clever and clever. They will take the initiative to learn these evil ways. Maybe Transia will appear in the future to make a living and look forward to the night.
What about the group of 'lottery players' who have suddenly become rich?
Stop talking about this and quickly help me dismantle it.
Let’s see if I can win!”
"You all know this is a lie."
Mengha curled her lips and said slowly to the little dwarf who was excited to find a new toy:
"From a probability perspective, I can explain to you five different theories about how this thing empties your wallet.
You may make a small profit, but the publisher will never lose money.”
However, Xiao Weiming didn't intend to listen to these boring theories, so he ignored the physics girl at all, just licked his lips and his canine teeth, and opened the scratch-off tickets one after another with excitement on his face.
This thing was obviously just printed this morning. The palm-sized card still smelled of ink. Mengha held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
The printing process is quite poor and even looks a bit "cheap".
But this kind of large-scale printing means that Transia has quite basic industrial capabilities, but this scratch card does not use real-world plastic sealing technology.
They adopted a very clever "localization" improvement. A psionic spell with an overly simple [hidden] explanation was printed on the back of the card, obscuring all the patterns on the card surface.
The buyer needs to destroy the spell to see the pattern.
This operation is of course a one-time operation, thus ensuring that the card will not be reused. There is also a line of small text below to remind the purchaser not to throw away the card.
Even if you don't win, after collecting 100 cards, you can take them to the Blood Rat Gang to exchange them for a small amount of money for recycling.
As for the cost of producing this thing, it is almost negligible, because the materials required to maintain this technique are scraps found from Mrs. Tracey's alchemy cabin, and it can even be regarded as a classic case of waste recycling.
"These alien vampires who issue lottery tickets are quite environmentally friendly."
Mengha complained.
She habitually pushed the empty bridge of her nose, and then followed Ashina's example and gently scratched the spell on the back of the card. The hidden pattern on the card immediately disappeared, revealing an 8X8 pattern array.
All of them are the local beasts of Transia, such as wolves, tigers, vultures, wild dogs, rabbits, etc. There are no rewards for these common beasts, only the legendary beasts have rewards.
Mengha read the rules carefully and found that the Blood Rat Gang had very cleverly adopted a combined reward model, which was enough to minimize the risks they took.
"Here, I won a Greenie Flying Lion."
She handed the card in her hand to Ashina.
A bunch of unwinnable cards were scattered at the latter's feet. Of course, for this little rich woman, she didn't care at all about the pitiful bonus she won.
What she enjoys is the pursuit of uncertainty.
Commonly known as "character detector".
"Oh, Greene Flying Lion, third prize, 1 silver coin."
Xiao Ashina happily took the card and put it in her bag, then took out another bag and threw it to Mengha. She grinned and said:
"You guys are quite lucky."
"You! How much did you buy this kind of thing?"
Mengha's eyes twitched as she looked at the two full stacks of scratch-offs in the bag in her hand, and she exclaimed:
"Isn't it said that it is difficult to make money in this game? Why do you still have spare money to buy these?"
"Hey, if it weren't for the Blood Rat Gang's rule that one person can only buy three sets, I would definitely buy all the fifty sets they have. How fun it would be!
And it’s cheap, the whole set only costs 10 silver coins!
It’s not even enough for a can of Molotov cocktails.”
Xiao Weiming was too lazy to answer this "stupid" question and continued to immerse himself in the joy of "lottery".
Soon, other girls from the Silver Moon Group were also drawn into this "game", and it developed into a "weird competition" in the end.
After all, even if a group of beautiful beauties are together, they still have to compare themselves with each other. Who can admit that they are unlucky?
"Oh yeah! Greene Flying Lion + Griffin Griffin! Second prize! Hey! I won!"
Xiao Weiming's scream of joy announced the birth of the winner of this girl group's "lucky competition".
She waved the rough-textured card in her hand and flew up and down excitedly, doing three or four dexterous somersaults in the air to express her joy.
However, Sister Pomegranate looked at the cards scattered on the floor with a painful look on her face. She said to Mrs. Shui, who was beside her helplessly and with a hint of doting in her eyes:
"She bought three sets of 600 cards for a total of 30 silver coins, and the second prize was only 10 silver coins. The loss rate is so high, I really don't understand why she is so happy?"
"Of course you don't understand. After all, you don't use a wheelchair."
Mrs. Shui said softly:
"Little Ashina's happiness is the purest, it is a joy that we cannot understand. Let her do whatever she likes.
As long as it's not outrageous, I can understand it and support it with both hands.
You can continue playing. I am going offline to cook. My husband has been a little suspicious of me recently. He said that I don’t love him anymore and don’t care about him anymore.
He even started to get emotional.
Alas, man."
The gentle and generous wife shook her head and sighed, lying helplessly in a walnut coffin in the tent, although she was not a vampire and would not need this thing.
But when it comes to playing games, you have to experience everything.
"Let's go and claim the prize with my lord!"
Xiao Ashina happily held the two winning tickets and yelled at the others, but everyone had something to do, so Lumina and Moehaha accompanied her in the end.
Pomegranate and Orchid stayed in the camp. The former was a captain of the People's Army and had automatically switched to a soldier profession to plan a career path. The latter got the contact information of the Explorers Association from Dorothy and planned to write an application letter.
Join a world of travelers.
But after the others left, Lanhua helped the offline Mrs. Shui cover the coffin board and then turned back to Pomegranate and said:
"Say, what if we also send an invitation letter to Mrs. Shui's husband?"
"You're crazy!"
Sister Pomegranate was shocked and said:
"It's not enough to harm someone's wife, but you want to wipe out the entire family? Wow, Lan Huahua, it turns out you are the most vicious among us. You, a traveler, should do something good!"
"No, no, no, you don't understand how much Mrs. Shui's husband cares for her. The conflict between them proves that Mrs. Shui's recent investment in more and more time on games has affected her normal life."
Lanhua shook her head and said:
"Well, few of my friends are happily married. I don't want to see Mrs. Shui's life affected by this matter, so the best way is to let her husband see with his own eyes what she does every day.
This way he will no longer be suspicious and can feel at ease.
Well, of course, seeing his gentle and beautiful wife working as a busty nun in another world to slay demons is probably not a worry for a man who has been influenced by orthodox ideas since childhood.
As for the impact if I do this.
You really don't understand the life of wealthy people. Mrs. Shui cooks for her family every day. It's not something she has to do, it's just her personality.
I visited her a few years ago, and you have never seen a row of chefs waiting for you to choose dishes in her villa.
Forget it, I'll take care of this."
"Take it easy."
Sister Pomegranate said something but did not stop Lanhua's actions.
On the other side, when Xiao Ashina ran to the sewer to redeem the prize, the place was already extremely popular.
The people queuing up to buy scratch-off tickets all queued from the pub to the fight club. It is said that it was because a lucky guy just won a special prize on the street.
The terrifying rate of return of exchanging 5 coppers for 10 gold coins is enough to drive any civilian crazy.
"This must be a promise!"
Seeing that she couldn't squeeze into the crowd, Xiao Weiming stamped her feet angrily and complained harshly.
"Your name is Xiaowei Ming, right?"
A gentle voice suddenly sounded from the side, causing Xiao Weiming to turn around and find an uncle she didn't recognize looking at her with a smile.
"I have a few questions to ask you."
He said:
"It's a very important question and it won't take up much of your time."
