I have tens of millions of wage earners

Chapter 86 Fighting NPCs Have Difficulties

Mr. Brave, the shock to the villagers is not only the battle.

After going through hard battles, the players quickly got into work and began to cut down trees and build a logging factory.

It was the first time for many new villagers to work with the brave men. The infinite physical strength of the brave men made these new villagers feel ashamed.

"The brave men are too strong, right? I feel that the working efficiency of the five of us may not be as good as the brave man!"

"Using what brave men often say, is this the world of the strong?"

"If I were as strong as Lord Brave, my salary would probably be doubled! No! Doubled!"

"Great, with the help of such powerful braves, our logging factory will be established smoothly!"

"I am really lucky to be able to come to Tudou Village."

"Okay! We have to work hard! Even if we are slow, we can't slow down too much! We must be worthy of the wages that the lord gave us!"

Under the command of the engineer and the director of the logging factory, more than a dozen players who received the task, together with 20 village workers, spent two days building the main body of the logging factory.

Then they returned to Tudou Village with a full load of timber, and provided the first batch of timber from the lumber mill to Tudou Village, which was in urgent need of timber.

Bearding came back with the mule convoy, and he made a further report to Flynn.

"The quality of the wood in that valley is really good, and there is a very old poplar tree among them. The wood made of this old poplar tree has a certain anti-insect function, which is suitable for making wardrobes and cabinets."

"Unfortunately, it is only a small valley after all, so the total amount of trees is limited. It is enough to satisfy the existing Potato Village, but if Mr. Flynn wants to continue to expand the Potato Village by several times, a new logging plant will have to be opened by then. .”

"Well." Flynn nodded, "It's not bad if it can meet the existing needs, let's take it step by step."

In addition to timber output, Flynn's main concern is the safety of the logging plant.

Flynn asked Beardine, "I saw you encountered a troll on your way to the lumber mill."

"The braves performed very well, and they killed the powerful troll very smoothly."

"But it's also a warning to us that the area is not that safe."

"What do you think is the level of the logging plant's defense facilities?" Flynn asked.

Bilding thought for a moment, and replied: "Under your special instruction, my lord, I designed a wooden fence for the logging factory, which happened to be stuck at the entrance of the valley. At the same time, I also built an observation post on the left and right sides."

"These defense facilities will be built in the next few days."

"Based on the current scale of the lumber mill, a wooden wall plus two towers is a complete high-end defense facility."

"But you also know, my lord, that the most important thing in defense is people, and the workers in the logging factory are just ordinary villagers. If they encounter danger, these loggers' combat effectiveness is very limited."

"It's okay if there are players in the lumber mill. If there are no players and only the workers guard it, it is estimated that a dozen or so goblin robbers can easily break through the lumber mill."

What Bearding said was indeed a problem.

Flynn thought for a while, then sighed: "Then it seems that there is only money to burn."

Flynn's so-called burning money refers to using Mithril powder to summon combat-type NPCs in the system.

For example, Combat Instructor Alain and Guerrilla Instructor Robin Hood, these two instructor-level elite NPCs have good combat abilities, and they can even spend a few rounds with bosses like Flynn.

But such a powerful fighting NPC is also quite expensive, and 50 grams of mithril powder per week is really scary.

Naturally, it was impossible for Flynn to hire a few NPCs with a weekly salary of 50 grams to guard the small logging factory.

Of course, there are also weaker fighting NPCs, but even these weaker fighting NPCs are still very expensive.

The cheapest ordinary soldier fighting NPC, the combat power is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary kingdom regular army soldier, and needs 20 grams of mithril powder maintenance fee every week.

A little more elite, you need 25-30 grams.

Then there is the captain-level strength, and even higher is the instructor-level strength of 50 grams per week.

It is said that after the small wooden door system is upgraded in the future, more powerful fighting NPCs will be able to be summoned, but the summoning function of stronger NPCs has not been unlocked yet.

In a word, there is no cheap fighting NPC!
Even a soldier NPC costs 20 grams, which is more expensive than a manager of a logging factory like Farman!
From the perspective of farming to develop the economy, Flynn is unwilling to summon too many fighting NPCs that cannot produce benefits.

Alain and Robin Hood, their existence can teach players fighting skills, and they can also charge for passing the graduation test, so their existence is necessary.

And if Flynn summons the soldier NPC, although the soldier NPC can stand guard and patrol, but standing guard and patrolling can't make money!

You must know that 20 grams of mithril powder a week is not cheap.

20 grams of mithril is converted into gold coins, which is equal to 20 gold coins, and the weekly cost of 20 gold coins can be hired by the King of Soldiers to work!

Flynn used the 20 grams of Mithril to expand the online scale, wouldn't it be good to recruit two more players?

Therefore, Flynn has never summoned a combat-type NPC until now.

As for building an army of NPCs?
Flynn had long asked about the possibility of setting up an NPC army in the system, and finally concluded that it was almost impossible.

First of all, there is a limit to the number of intelligent NPCs that the small wooden door system can carry, and it is not possible to recruit as many as you want.

The smarter and more powerful the NPC is, the more system resources it takes up.

Summon tens of thousands of NPC soldiers?

Sorry, the small wooden door can't do it!
Besides, if 10000 NPC soldiers are really summoned, how much is the maintenance fee of hundreds of thousands of grams of mithril powder every week?
If Flynn had the money, wouldn't it be good to just spend money to hire indigenous soldiers to fight the war, and then get kickbacks for the rest?

Finally, letting NPCs fight and kill is really cost-effective.

Flynn asked the system before that after NPCs die, they cannot be resurrected directly.

For example, Alain, whose weekly salary is 50 grams, was killed. If Flynn wanted to revive her, he would need 100 grams of mithril.

Of course, Flynn can hire other combat instructors, but the number of NPCs of the same type is limited.If Alain, Bilayin, and Sucking Rhine all die for a while, then Flynn must use mithril to revive the Alain NPC.

The same is true for intelligent soldier NPCs. The number is limited. If a few battles are fought and the casualties are heavy, there will be no new soldier NPCs.That Flynn's money for resurrecting the old dead soldier NPC is probably enough to stun the king of the Iron Hill Kingdom!
Combat NPCs summoned with Mithril are no more powerful than real people, and the price is expensive, and they cannot be revived infinitely after death.

So Flynn would rather leave all the combat missions to the players.

There are infinite resurrection tool man players, Flynn has a sick mind and spent money to build an NPC army?
But fighting NPC soldiers are definitely not useless.
