My players are so fierce

Chapter 485 484. You have to fight for opportunities yourself, idiot!

In fact, after the attack and defense of Plague Town, when they saw the server-wide announcement announcing that the six-person dormitory group was inducted into the Hall of Fame, the leaders of other guilds vaguely guessed the ownership of this third stronghold.

But that night, when the development team confirmed in a forum announcement that the third stronghold, "Wolf's Castle," would be transferred to the Scarlet Beast Regiment, many players still let out painful wails.

There are currently three player bases in Transia!

Now that they have been allocated, it means that if other guilds want their own territories, they can only wait for the game's plot to continue to deepen before they can unlock more strongholds.

But this is actually not a bad thing.

After all, although the number of players is increasing every week, there are currently only close to a thousand people in the game, and among these thousand people, the number of people in the Riptide Knights accounts for more than a quarter, and the others The number of people in the guild is actually completely insufficient to support the construction and planning of a complete stronghold.

Even if Mr. Murphy really gives each guild a stronghold to manage, most of the strongholds will probably be taken back by the administrative office due to poor management.

It would have been so embarrassing then.

Besides, Transia also has unique management units like collective farms in addition to player strongholds.

As the number of refugees increases, the second batch of seven collective farms are already on the way to be registered. Administrative professionals who want to experience the experience of being an official have plenty of places for them to develop, and there is no need to deal with strongholds as soon as they come up. Such a difficult unit.

The Knights of Strom currently building Stromgarde have a special post on the forum to record their journey of building the stronghold. In it, Taipal listed one problem after another in the construction of the stronghold from his own perspective. Just looking at it The list of problems makes ordinary players feel arduous and discouraged.

Think about it, the difficulty of building your own city from scratch in a 100% realistic game will definitely not be easier than taking a group of people to reclaim wasteland in the real world.

This kind of work with no shortcuts is impossible to do well without experience.

However, the discussion about strongholds has always been a hot topic on the forum. Many players will imagine how they would plan and decorate them if they had strongholds. Those wild ideas always make newcomers confused when they come in. .

What I know is that you are playing a game, but those who don’t know think that you are planning to gather 500 people to rent a big ship and sail to the new world.

In short, in the small circles on the Internet, the biggest label attached to the "urban legend" of "Real World" when it is circulated is "hardcore" in addition to "true".

This label also effectively prevents pollsters from coming to cause trouble. At least normal people will decisively choose to refuse when they see that the set has been increased to 199 test application questions.

Everyone is so busy working every day!

There is still so much residual value that needs to be severely squeezed by the boss. After work, those who have girlfriends have to lick their girlfriends, those who don’t have girlfriends have to find girlfriends, and those who already have wives have to worry about tonight’s public food. , how can you have so much time to do that damn questionnaire?

While the forum was in full swing over the ownership of the third stronghold, bonfires were lit on the battlefield outside Plague Town at dawn, showing a lively atmosphere.

All kinds of equipment found in the ruins of Plague Town were placed in wooden boxes and piled beside the campfire. All players who participated in the dungeon guide would choose weapons and armor that fit their hands.

This equipment distribution link is completely free, so you can get whatever you like.

There are some smart guys who want to get more of them, but no one can stop them. The main reason is that the "weight-carrying system" in the real game is really annoying. If you bring a few extra weapons, it will be a problem for you to move quickly in the battle. Even with the help of psychic packs, the capacity of this thing is very limited.

It's a bit cramped to pack daily necessities, and no one would throw in these weapons that they can't use. It would just make themselves miserable.

As for the remaining weapons and equipment, they will not be wasted. They will be collected together and sent to the Cadman People's Army Logistics Department in exchange for money to be shared equally among everyone.

This is an old rule.

As for those weapons and protective equipment with names and very good attributes, they were auctioned again this time. Right next to the largest bonfire, the eloquent Lin Bei Gouzhao was once again selected as the auctioneer.

People who were not offline sat around the fire, eating, and watching the rich brothers and sisters fighting for the good things with red faces.

"We can't keep going like this!"

Niu Niu sat cross-legged by the student party's bonfire, maintaining his flail. He looked at the noisy noises at the auction table and complained to the three dormitory brothers beside him:

"From the time the server was launched to the present, we have not been able to come up with a reasonable plan for the distribution of the spoils. Every time it is auctioned, if this continues, it will hurt the harmony of the brothers.

It is difficult for new players to get a handful of good stuff, but all kinds of weapons in Xiao Weiming’s tent can be put on display. Lao Huo’s side is even more exaggerated. He filled his Treasure Bay VIP room with weapons collected from everywhere. The loot that comes comes in pursuit of style.

It’s really like drought leads to drought and waterlogging leads to death. "

"Why do you worry about this?"

The shrimp catcher threw the swamp berries into his mouth happily, savoring the strange sour taste, and said nonchalantly:

"Xiao Weiming and Lao Huo didn't steal the weapons they got. They spent real money to buy them. Both the buyer and the seller were satisfied. What kind of monster can gossip?

We have played a lot of online games since childhood. Which developer do you think can come up with a perfect solution to the problem of class in the game?

This is called ‘game ecology’, do you understand?

It is originally a part of online games with strong social attributes. You think this is not good, but I think it is great. At least everyone can get a reward after the auction.

This is much better than the situation where the strong take all and the weak cannot even lick their bones. "

"That's right, Niu Niu has always liked to think nonsense since he got his wife!"

Mrs. Kachitoni held up her exquisite lion spear, skewered two crocodile legs on it and flipped it over the barbecue next to the campfire. She gave Luda oil and held a spice jar to sprinkle seasoning on it.

The two of them worked well together and looked like real adventurers, especially after Khaki finished speaking, the old man also joked in a weird tone:

"Of course Niu Niu has to think nonsense~ He is now afraid that someone in the game will mess up and shut down the game, so that he will never see his good paper man wife again.

Hey, Niu Niu, I saw a few new players showing affection to your wife today, why don't you hurry up and watch over them? If someone's favorability with Anbo exceeds yours, wouldn't you lose both your time and money? "

"You two know nothing! If you have the ability, don't try to win the favor of those female NPCs in the future."

Niu Niu curled his lips, not intending to continue talking about this topic with these two bad friends.

What a pathetic mortal!

The moment I gave away the ring, my favorability with An Bo was locked. You idiots, if it weren't for Mr. Murphy's control over Niu Niu, you might be able to go one step further now.

He now has another thing in his mind to continue to think about, and that is the future construction and planning of the No. 003 stronghold at their feet.

Although Ge Bao is the leader of the Beast Group, now that all six members of the dormitory group have died and have to wait three days to resurrect, Niu Niu, the "executive deputy leader" who has more muscles than brains, can only support the situation.

His own family knows his own affairs.

Compared with the talented Riptide Knights and the Scarlet Hammer and Sickle Group composed of semi-professionals, their beast group is completely a grass-roots team.

Although the group of young people is passionate and loyal, when it comes to professional knowledge and insights, they lag far behind the system of social people.

At the moment, Niu Niu is worried about the future management of No. 003 Stronghold. Although he and Ge Bao can recruit helpers from the school's management department, the problem is that those helpers are also students with no knowledge and no practice.

If they were allowed to mess around, it would be a "large-scale social experiment sample from another world". The environment of the swamp is already bad, and if they mess around again, it is estimated that this stronghold will be taken back by the administrative office in a few months.

At that time, it would be very embarrassing.

"I said, can't you guys really come over? Even if it's a guest appearance, that's fine."

In the Calculation Orb, Niu Niu was chatting with a group of four Lorewalkers who were far away near Scarlet Castle. He said to the Lorewalker Xiao Zhou who is now the "Village Chief of Wandering Island":

"Just come here and help our guild set up a stall. After the management department buddies join the game one after another, you can go back."

"Shit, it's easy for you to say, why don't you just leave the affairs of my village alone?"

The traveler Xiao Zhou refused very directly.

He said:

"The conditions in my village are poor to begin with, but now I finally found a coal mine in the mountainous area with three buddies from my dormitory and are preparing to dig out the mine for development!

This is a major matter related to people's livelihood. How can I leave here and run to help you?

Of course, that doesn't mean that the stronghold we brothers risked our lives to get is not important. The main thing is that Niu Niu, you need to be considerate of the four of us brothers.

We have spent a lot of effort to get the villagers to trust us and be willing to work with us. If we give up at this moment, the future of the Wandering Island will be doomed.

This is our student party’s first village in the game!

The brothers are still hoping to write a few papers through the process of building this mine so that they can graduate. Please spare us. "

"What should we do?"

Niu Niu said with a pained face:

"It's okay for us people to fight, but it's really not okay for you to ask us to take care of things. We are sports students! This is not our job at all.

Please give me some advice. "

"How about 'co-governing'?"

After the traveler Xiao Zhou thought for more than ten seconds, he gave an answer:

"Don't the Silver Moon Girls also want to have a base? Share the management rights of base 003 with them, or simply entrust it to them.

Those girls are all capable people, they can definitely handle the management and planning, and then all you have to do is sit back and reap the benefits.

However, I doubt whether this model of joint governance can be recognized by the Executive Office? "

"Oh, that sounds unreliable. Aunt Shui can pack us up and sell us together with just a few moves, and we have to help others count the money.

How can we poor students be more cunning than them?

Forget it, let me discuss it with Pigeon Bao again. "

Niu Niu sighed and hung up the communication.

He really couldn't say that the wandering scholars were unloyal. After all, the situation in Village No. 4 was obvious to everyone, and they were indeed not enjoying happiness there.

But just saying it is enough to hurt the fragile self-esteem of all young people, including Niu Niu, if they really want to hand over the territory that their guild has worked hard to gain to other guilds to manage.

"Hiring people! Damn it."

Niu Niu got angry, grabbed the roasted crocodile meat from Khaki, took a bite of it, and said to the three waiters beside him:

"Publish a post on the campus website first! Recruit a group of sensible brothers and sisters in the management department. As for whether they have experience or not, we'll talk about this later."

"You still dare to post on the campus website? You must be tired of life."

The shrimp catcher complained:

"The counselors in the finance department have talked to Ah Yuan and the others because they are worried that they will go astray.

Our previous aggressive recruitment in the school has been noticed by the school leaders. I dare say your post will be deleted within ten minutes of being posted.

Alas, not every forum administrator is as generous as Fa Ge.

This has to be done slowly and privately. "

"Then go to another school!"

Niu Niu gritted his teeth and said:

"Go to specialized management schools to recruit people. We need management professionals now. We can't just leave the territory we build to others in the future, right?

That’s too inferior!

We just followed the model of the Riptide Knights and slowly built up our logistics and management team. We are also one of the top guilds in the game, so we can't just emphasize being able to fight all the time, right? "

"Fuck, it gives me a headache just to hear that. Let's leave this mental matter to Ah Yu and the others."

The three sports students looked at me and I looked at you, and then they chose to show off in a very tacit understanding.

Niu Niu was so angry that he wanted to kick them a few times, but just when the sports students were looking sad, an "unexpected visitor" suddenly found them.

"What? Chief Hogg asked me to come over for a secret talk?"

Niuniu gnawed on the barbecued crocodile meat and looked at the jackal Nash who ran beside him, nodded and bowed, and brought a few rough gifts.

He was stunned for a moment and had no idea what Chief Hogg, a unique NPC, wanted to talk to him about. However, he was given three subordinate command scepters as a visiting gift. This "sincerity" was immediately felt by the player.

So Niu Niu finished the weird midnight snack in two mouthfuls and followed Nash to the swamp near Plague Town.

On a flat terrain, Hogg was sitting under a tattered tent and thinking about something on the animal skin map. Several heavily armed barbarians were guarding the surroundings and bloody hyenas released by the hunters were cruising around.

This scene made Niu Niu sigh that Hogg was becoming more and more popular now. He still remembered Hogg's desolate look when he had just been rescued by the girls.

It is true that people cannot be underestimated, and jackals cannot be underestimated.

But Niuniu was still curious about what Hogg wanted to talk to him, until he sat under Hogg's tent as a representative of the student party. The thin jackal chief said with a smile:

"The powerful Midnight Warrior Niu Niu, I want to do a business with your warrior guild."

Hogg rotated the map in front of him and handed it to Niu Niu. It swung its bald tail and said:

"I know that the great Governor Murphy has suppressed the plague. It is now called 'Wolf Castle'. What a good name. In short, Governor Murphy has handed over the rule of Wolf Castle to your warrior guild. , I want to congratulate you on your victory.

But what I care about is, can humans like you really endure the bad environment of the swamp for a long time and stay here?

I am not doubting your courage and will. No one understands your strength and bravery better than me. However, different races have different preferences, and swamps have never been a place that humans like."

"What do you want to say?"

Although Niu Niu, a sports student, is not stupid, he does not like Hogg's oblique way of speaking. He did not look at the map in front of him and asked directly:

"You might as well speak more clearly! You see, we are warriors, Chief Hogg, so let's be direct."

"Okay! Then I'll tell you straight."

Hogg took a deep breath and whispered:

"I want to 'buy' control of Wolfsburg from you."

"impossible!"

Niu Niu refused:

"This is a stronghold that our brothers paid a huge price to capture. This is not a commodity that can be bought and sold. There is no need to discuss this!"

"No, no, no, it's not the kind of deal you understand, warrior."

Hogg shook his head and explained:

“I mean um, hosting!

This word may be more appropriate. Since you humans cannot live in the swamp for a long time, and we jackals are very adapted to the swamp environment, then why not entrust the administrative power of Wolfsburg to my clan.

I'll help you repair the town, dig out the moat and shape the walls!

If you need it, the kobolds of the Bloodclaw clan will even help you build a new mage tower. All of this does not require you to pay anything except supplying the kobolds with enough food!

When the town is built, you will have complete control over the town. We only need to gain the power to move freely within it and deliver supplies.

I will help you run this town!

I have my own arrangements for it, and I will give you 60% of all the profits generated by all businesses around the town!

You see, this is not a profitable business. I am losing money to help you operate it.

The main reason is that Lord Murphy has promised me the other two-thirds of the territory in the Filthy Swamp, but the remaining one-third guards the important passage. Without it, my territory will be completely separated from Transia.

This is a completely unacceptable result for me, who admires Wang Hua!

I really am not coveting your territory, warriors.

I just want to obtain the nominal management and dominion rights of the Filthy Swamp, in order to realize my little ambition as a 'swamp lord'.

Lend me your base.

We can completely discuss the profit distribution, I just need this town to achieve my plan for the entire filthy swamp."

"Oh, you have a complete plan for the swamp?"

Niuniu became interested.

He looked carefully at the animal skin map that Hogg just handed over. After a few seconds, he scratched his head and said:

"I don't understand this. Please explain it to me in words. Hogg, what do you plan to turn the Filthy Swamp into?"

"hehe."

Hogg let out a cunning laugh, wagging his tail and said:

"When I met with the noble colonel of the Plantagenet Kingdom before, I asked him about the journey from the Cato region to the prosperous port of Chardeau. He told me that it would take four days to cross the Chardeau even by steam train. The mountains of many peninsulas, into the cities of halflings and brass dwarves.

Moreover, trains are expensive and it is impossible for small businessmen to transport goods through this tool. This is why the smuggler's forest used to be the largest smuggling route in the area.

The shorter route to the Chardeau Peninsula is via the Filthy Swamp!

And there are dwarven brass fortresses along the way to maintain security. The only problem with this route is the risk encountered when entering the foul swamp.

The beasts in the swamp are secondary. Once you get lost, you will die here.

However, if a unified force emerges in the Foul Swamp, it can create a direct road from Transia to the Brass Fortress for merchants traveling from north to south.

Ah, Niu Niu Warrior, my plan has not changed at all compared to the previous rules. I just copied the former pattern of Smuggler's Wood into the entire filthy swamp.

I believe that halfling steam trains will not be the only answer to connect the center of the continent to the southern regions.

‘Swamp Road’!

Yes, I would call it ‘The Path of the Blood Claw’!

This road will definitely be more popular with some bold merchants. Transia will definitely prosper under Governor Murphy, and we, the servants who crawl in the shadow of Lord Murphy, should also add to this prosperity. watt. "

"Is this really a plan that a jackal could come up with?"

Niu Niu was shocked and said:

"Take off your gnoll holster, it's no longer interesting, shrewd halfling Hogg."

"Ha, what a funny joke! I could laugh all day long."

Hog laughed loudly. He quietly took out a jackal-style voodoo snake-shaped dagger from the broken bag behind him, and quietly stuffed this "good thing" into Niu Niu's hand.

This was the first time in his life for the poor pure sports student to encounter "bribery", and he was quite at a loss. He wanted to scold Hogg righteously and loudly not to do such evil things, but when the item identification was started, it was discovered that it was a commander-in-chief. After the high-grade Seiko Voodoo Dagger, Niu Newton could not say any more words of rejection.

He has no shortage of weapons. Kenbot's flail and bone shield are both master-level elite equipment, which are enough for him to use at the silver level or even the gold level.

The main reason is that the conditions in Anbo are difficult, and it is too dangerous for his delicate paper man wife to carry out tasks alone without "specialized weapons".

Niuniu blushed.

He cursed in his heart that he was not strong-willed, but he still put away the dagger that was very suitable for An Bo to use.

Hogg is quite cheeky.

The jackal chief smiled and looked at Niu Niu who had accepted the gift, and then he continued:

"Of course this is not my idea. When I met Professor Chen last time, I asked him about the way out for my clan. The respectable scholar only said a few words of advice, but I also understood that kind of far-sightedness. great ideas.

The Bloodclaw Clan can share the benefits of this path with you, warrior!

As long as you are willing to entrust Wolfsburg to me, we can have a bright future together. "
