I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

So Duane Sik could only watch Stenter King transfer the line population. "

"I understand. It seems that the training of staff members needs to be strengthened." Nangong Xiao couldn't help sighing while nodding.

Qiu Ye said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already brought several advisers who are good at military and political strategies from my father. With their assistance in training, our staff will get better and better."

"I always feel that your smile is a bit strange, but well, I have to thank my uncle."

"I have already thanked His Highness, um, the military purchase is discounted, and my father is very happy."

Akiba's words made Nangong Xiao, Asuna, and Sayuri twitch their mouths. They are all insiders, and they are relatively clear about the cost of magical weapons, and Akiba's asking price for Nangong Lingyun's military purchase... I have to say, what a filial daughter...

At this time, Akiba said again, "Your Highness, what is your Highness's opinion on the announcement that Dunn Sick's envoys want to enter Dawn City openly?"

"Dun Sik wants us to express our position in advance..." Nangong Xiao tapped his index finger rhythmically on the desk, thought for a while, and then said, "The ripples caused by the "New Noble Definition Statement" have not subsided, It's not appropriate to express your opinion at this time...Qiuye, has the Holy See of Holy Light been dancing very happily recently?"

Akiba thought for a while and said, "Yes, before the announcement of the "New Noble Definition Announcement", rumors were spread everywhere, saying that we colluded with monsters and the like, which also caused some misunderstandings about Dawn City from the outside world, but this kind of We have already prepared a plan for how to deal with the public opinion war. It is not difficult to reverse the direction of public opinion. As long as the past dirty things of the Holy See of the Holy Light are revealed through the Shuguang Daily and the evidence is listed, it is enough to ensure that the Holy Light The Holy See was devastated and had no intention of caring about him.

However, after the announcement of the "New Nobility Definition Statement", the Holy See of the Holy Light seized the opportunity. If we declare neutrality at this time and contact the official orc mission, then our situation within the human race will be very passive. The nobles will choose temporary silence because of the threat of royal power, but the Holy See is hard to say. Now the Holy See is constantly demonizing us, maybe those fanatical lunatics will really use their troops against us. "

Nangong Xiao asked again, "Speaking of which, I even think that some nobles will reversely encourage the Holy See of Light to act as an early bird, so as to test the reality of our Dawn City."

Akiba paused and nodded seriously, "Indeed, this possibility is very high. The aristocratic class is threatened by the royal power, and with all kinds of conflicts among the aristocrats, the possibility of us using troops is extremely low, but if we encourage an early Bird, the Holy See of Light is really suitable, and it also has the capital to use soldiers."

Nangong Xiao thought for a while and asked, "How about our conventional army? Will we be able to compete with those well-trained old-style troops with little difference in strength within a month or two?"

Qiu Ye frowned, pondered for a moment before saying, "I understand what your highness means. Don't worry, your highness can fight. Although the Holy See's crusaders are very strong in conventional warfare, they are placed on the level of the entire Huiyao Continent Look, the crusaders can be ranked well. But our new army has an absolute superiority in firepower. In other words, our army's current training level also has the capital to fight positional warfare.

Of course, the battle damage will be a bit large, but through actual combat training, the improvement will be faster.

The only taboo is the cavalry of the Crusaders. If we don't find a way to solve the problem of mobility differences, although our army will not fall into the bad situation of Stentel's new army, it will be extremely passive. "

"Where's our chariot?"

Akiba shook his head and said helplessly, "It's still a problem of insufficient skilled workers. It cannot be mass-produced, and it cannot be scaled up in a short period of time. Your Highness, for now, if we want to make up for the mobility problem of the new army, we still have to We can rely on traditional cavalry. Fortunately, neither the elves nor the dragons will refuse us to purchase high-quality cavalry mounts on a large scale.

Honestly, at this point King Stantel is really pathetic. "

"That's right. But, it's made by us, and we can be described as a veritable 'cat crying mouse' like this."

"That's right." Qiu Ye couldn't help sticking out her little tongue when she heard the words.

"Fight cavalry..." At this time, Nangong Xiao thought for a while, and finally said, "Let's do this first, the movement of the Holy See is still unclear, let's make all preparations first.

In fact, this is a good thing. Once we defeat the holy army of the Holy See in conventional warfare, it will be even more difficult for the nobles to attack us by force... Akiba, step up the training of the new army and the cavalry Expand, and at the same time keep an eye on the movement of the Holy See of Light, and take the initiative to increase the fire when necessary, so that the Holy See of Light will come to die at the right time.

As for the issue of the orc envoys, it was suppressed for the time being, but it was also announced to Duan Xike, saying that the time had not come, so let him wait. "

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do."

After discussing the business with Akiba, Nangong Xiao left the administration building with Asuna and Sayuri.

Seeing that it was still early and it was only past three o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them were not in a hurry to go back to the villa. Instead, they went to Shuguang City Commercial Street to go shopping on Li Street under Nangong Xiao's suggestion.

In response, Asuna and Sayuri nodded happily.

Except for Chu Xuan, who is busy in the laboratory with the design demonstration of the orbiting spacecraft and "studying" the physical characteristics of those big bosses, the other members of the Holy Black Cat Knights are in the state of going out early and returning late. Back and forth between Warcraft Mountains and Dawn City.

To be honest, although high-intensity hunting has little effect on everyone's body, after all, even Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who has the worst physique, has a [Physique] attribute of over [-], and his physical strength is more than [-] times that of ordinary people. Not to mention people.But this kind of boring and cumbersome hunting made everyone feel a little tired on the spiritual level. If Qiuye hadn't asked Nangong Xiao to report the recent important events, they wouldn't have appeared in Dawn City at this time.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu and the others did not follow to the administrative building of the government office. After all, they were not interested in getting involved in military and political affairs, so they went to find things to relax after returning to Shuguang City.

And because Asuna and Sayuri have been serving as Nangong Xiao's secretary, they will not be absent when conditions permit for this kind of thing, so the current situation arises.

Getting back to business, the three of them changed their outfits a little to avoid unnecessary riots and troubles after showing their faces in public, and then walked together on the bustling commercial street of Dawn City.

Asuna and Sayuri didn't have much shopping needs, not to mention that they didn't decide anything at home, and with the care of the internal affairs department of the clinic, they basically had everything they needed for life.Mainly, they enjoy being 'alone' with their men more than shopping.

As if they were taking a walk, the three of them walking hand in hand on the pedestrian street looked a bit dazzling. Although Shuguang City did not amend the marriage law and followed the bad habits of polygamy in this world, it is rare for a man and two women to show their affection on the street openly. scenario appears.

However, pedestrians will not have any strange thoughts because of this, at most they will just take a curious look.

Asuna and Sayuri were not used to it at first, but seeing that their man didn't want to let go, they followed their man's will and let the big boy take their hands for a walk.

When passing by a shop called 'Autumn Breeze Cafe', Nangong Xiao stopped, and asked Asuna suspiciously, "Is this opened by a qualified person?"

Asuna nodded and said, "That's right, it was opened by a qualified female with the ID 'Autumn Wind & Fish'. It seems that the idea of ​​opening a store came about after finding coffee beans in this world. It seems that opening a coffee shop was the dream of that 'Autumn Wind & Fish' before traveling.

Well, as far as I know, she hired aborigines to look after the store in order not to affect the leveling and equipment building, basically she was just a hands-off shopkeeper who only cared about the finances.Also because of her actions, many qualified people began to have the idea of ​​opening a shop and starting a business, and now there are many people on the forum who are planning.I think it won't be long before there will be some more modern-concept stores in Dawn City. "

"This is a good thing. Asuna, Sayuri, how about we go in and have a look?" Nangong Xiao asked the two girls with great interest.

"Good~" X2

Chapter 216 Asuna and Sayuri's Encouragement

The "Autumn Breeze Cafe" has an area of ​​[-] square meters, which is the standard area of ​​shops in this section of the pedestrian street. The interior decoration is a petty bourgeoisie style with a modern forest style and a little minimalist taste.

This style seems a little different in this world, but for modern people, it seems very friendly.

There are not many people in the store now, except for the two aboriginal waiters of the Terran race, there are only a few sporadic qualified people patronizing.

It can be seen that the business of this store is very ordinary at this time.

Maybe at night, the business here will be better, but I think it's more qualified people who help here.Because coffee has not been officially developed in this world, and the main daily drink of people in this world is tea and wine, and the aborigines have no concept of coffee at all.

After Nangong Xiao brought Sayuri and Asuna into the coffee shop, they attracted the attention of several qualified persons. However, due to cross-dressing, those qualified persons did not recognize Nangong Xiao and the three of them. , they looked away and continued their previous work, drinking coffee, or browsing the system interface, or browsing the system forum.

Under the hospitality of the waiter, the three of Nangong Xiao chose a seat by the window, because it was a multi-person booth, and there was a hard sofa, so three people could sit side by side.

After the waiter politely placed the order and left, those qualified people couldn't help but look at this side, and looked a few more times, because the behavior of someone hugging left and right was really disgusting, Especially now that the group of qualified people is basically single, this kind of picture is really exciting.

Asuna and Sayuri didn't pay much attention to the gazes from those qualified people from time to time, they were used to it.

This is someone's intention, that is, they often show intimacy to them in public, so that they can gradually adapt to the relationship between the three of them.Now they can basically face the abnormal relationship between the three of them calmly, which does not conform to the common sense of modern people.

Habits are a terrible thing.

After the waiter served three cups of coffee and left, Nangong Xiao and the others tasted this kind of coffee called 'Emerald Green'.

"Hmm~ very distinctive." Asuna's evaluation was very polite, it seemed that this was the best description she could think of.

"Indeed, it's very unique." Said Baihe echoed, probably she could only give this word as an evaluation.

"I don't understand this thing. To be honest, this is the second time I drink coffee. The first time was when I was a child. It was the first time I got pocket money not long after being adopted by Xuan. Out of curiosity, I went to I bought a cup of iced coffee at the milk tea shop at the entrance of the community. To be honest, it was a pity that it cost eight yuan. Since then, I have been a firm tea party." Nangong Xiao put down the one in his hand, it should be specially customized by the boss , is the kind of coffee cup that is very common in modern society.

Asuna and Sayuri looked at each other and couldn't help chuckling. They seemed to be imagining the puzzled expression of Nangong Xiao, who was still a child at the time, after tasting the quality of instant frozen coffee on the street.

Seeing the two girls smiling so happily, Nangong Xiao also smiled and shook his head, "You are just young and ignorant, don't worry about it. By the way, recently I see that the frequency of newcomers who are qualified is getting lower and lower. This is not acceptable."

Asuna restrained her smile when she heard the words, and said with a little helplessness, "No way, the process of introducing newcomers is a bit cumbersome and time-consuming. It's good to have more than 200 people now, at least the senior ones are very good. Working hard. Based on this base and the current efficiency of recruiting newcomers, the minimum scale of 500 people can basically be reached at the beginning of next year... Well, this does not include losses. It seems that we cannot escape the mandatory recruiting task. .

To be honest, now I am very glad that A Xiao didn't really kill those senior people directly, otherwise we would have a headache. "

Nangong Xiao said, "That's why I said that the frequency of this kind of new recruits is not enough, we must make everyone more active in attracting new talents."

Asuna said, "Ah Xiao, it's not that everyone doesn't work hard, it's really difficult to improve the efficiency of the task of introducing newcomers, unless you only focus on quantity and not quality, but in that case, those qualified candidates with poor quality will become The burden of collective tasks next year. Xiao, do you have a solution?"

Nangong Xiao thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't think of any good solution."

"So, the only way to go on like this is to call on everyone on the forum to accept more tasks of recruiting newcomers..." While talking, Asuna suddenly looked at Nangong Xiao, "By the way, Ah Xiao , why do you always feel that your original intention of saying this is that you don’t want the mandatory receiving task to fall on you?”

"That's right." Nangong Xiao admitted directly, "The requirements for receiving the task are too much for a babysitter. If you are a newcomer with good quality, then forget it. If you have a dark face and some people who can't recognize reality, I have to endure It is simply torture to bring the other party to the tenth level and complete a series of time-consuming and laborious cognitive processes. What's more terrible is that if the newcomer's quality is too poor and the defects are too large, he still has to struggle to clean it up. It is still a matter of in-depth renovation, and it would be too hasty to clean it up directly, but if it is in-depth renovation, once the mud is still unable to support the wall in the end, it will be a waste of time and energy."

"You're telling the truth, and it's because of this that the increase in qualified new recruits is a bit slow..." Asuna was talking, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile, "Ah Xiao~ You also accept a pick-up mission, right?"

"No, I'm not free, there are many things in Dawn City." Nangong Xiao shook his head quickly.

Asuna said with a smile, "Ah Xiao~ The structure of Dawn City imitates the responsibility cabinet system. The leader only needs to listen to the government affairs reports from various departments every once in a while, grasp the general direction, and make adjustments when necessary. This morning The military and political meeting at the divisional level has just been held, and if there are no emergencies, the next military and political meeting will be in mid-December."

"guild..."

When Nangong Xiao was about to find a reason, Sayuri at the side smiled and chimed in, "Our guild has been conducting high-intensity hunting for half a month. Physically, we can bear it, but mentally, everyone is a little tired and needs to rest. I I heard that Ah Xiao has always emphasized on relaxation and balance between work and rest~”

"...I, wouldn't it be better to spend more time with you?"

"It's useless to play the emotional card. Besides, if you bring a newcomer, we can also follow along." Asuna said as if she was convinced of you.

"Yeah, I'm curious, with A Xiao's European energy, what kind of rookie can he summon..." Said Baihe also echoed with a smile.

Asuna nodded and said, "Yes, yes, with Ah Xiao's European spirit, he will definitely be able to produce high-quality newcomers, and even high-quality beauties~"

Sayuri also went on to say, "Yes, if we have good character, high quality, and good looks, we can still be absorbed into the guild, which can be regarded as contributing to the development of the guild."

Listening to the two women singing together, Nangong Xiao helplessly stretched out his hands and rubbed the heads of the two women, "To be honest, rather than summoning some beautiful women, I would rather summon a strong-willed and psychologically strong soldier."

"You agreed?" Asuna raised her little head happily, her big eyes twinkling, very cute.

"Well, isn't it just a pick-up mission? It's no big deal." Nangong Xiao said so.

"Hee hee, that's right, let's go, we are now... oh, this is the time, tomorrow, we will go to the Mad Rabbit Hills tomorrow."

Seeing Asuna's enthusiasm, Nangong Xiao nodded with a smile, "Okay."

The three chatted for a while in the coffee shop, and seeing that it was late, they checked out and left.

Not long after Nangong Xiao and the others left, Chuntian and Marus entered the coffee shop. After ordering two cups of signature coffee, the two sat down at a corner booth.

Chuntian said with a bit of a headache, "Oh, everyone's enthusiasm for recruiting newcomers has been greatly reduced recently. This is not going to work. Once the number of people does not reach the standard before the end of this year, the system will start a mandatory recruitment task. At that time, if you don't want to do it, you have to do it." .”

Marus said indifferently, "No way, the task of introducing newcomers is too cumbersome and time-consuming, and it's normal for everyone to be unhappy."

Chuntian lay down on the table and sighed, "The main reason is that the quality of the newcomers is uneven, and there are too many young people in modern times, so it is really difficult to train them to be qualified fighters..."

Marus thought for a while, "If it wasn't for the troublesome task of recruiting new recruits, and the effectiveness of recruiting newcomers would directly affect the mandatory collective task next year, perhaps we would have already died. This kind of trouble is not at all in the face of life and death. What is it, why do you have to sigh."

"...That's true." Chuntian said with a wry smile, "The reason why the person left us is because we have great practical value... Let's not talk about that, we have to find a way to increase the enthusiasm of the veterans to attract newcomers Ah, not to mention that this is what that person expects from us, it is also directly related to our own interests."

"That's what I said, but apart from explaining the pros and cons and encouraging everyone's enthusiasm as much as possible, there is not much to do." Marus shook his head and said. "Besides, in fact, we seniors have already worked very hard. The reason why the efficiency of the newcomers can't keep up is that the scale of our seniors is not large enough... Or, we relax a little bit? Some newcomers who are barely passable Cultivate it too, let’s recharge first and then talk about it?”

"This... is not impossible, but if there are too many low-quality new recruits, it will have a negative impact on our mission next year." Chuntian said.

Marus nodded, "Indeed... By the way, what is the attitude of the Holy Black Cat Knights?"

"Miss Asuna's meaning is to encourage everyone to actively recruit newcomers. It seems that the Holy Black Cat Knights have no better way. Regarding the relaxation of conditions, I have to mention it to Miss Asuna first. Let's talk about it later."

Hearing what Haruta said, Marus smiled and said, "You are getting used to your role more and more."

Chuntian said calmly, "I can live a better life this way, can't I?"

"Indeed." Marus shrugged. To be honest, Chuntian's current position may seem humble, but it is very eye-catching. After all, the members of the Holy Black Cat Knights are not stingy, and they have such a generous and wise boss. ', anyone can't help being envious.

After a pause, Marus said again, "It seems that this year can only make do with it, I just hope that after the mandatory group missions and mandatory single-person missions are over next year, more veterans will survive... .”

"yes..."

Chapter 217 Newcomer

In the early morning of the next day, on a grass field in the Mad Rabbit Hill to the northeast of Dawn City, Nangong Xiao looked at the woman behind him with a speechless expression, and said, "I said, are you all so idle?"

At this time, Asuna, Sayuri, Kasumigaoka Shiwa, Hiratsuka Shizuka, Xiaoji, Naiako, Maple, and even Chu Xuan were all there, and it was simply sacred to exclude Maiev who was acting as a bodyguard in the dark. Great collection of black cat knights.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu said with a smile, "If someone else recalled the newcomers, we would have nothing to be curious about. Even Maple is the same, but you are different."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded with a cigarette in her mouth and said, "That's right, Maple's European spirit is unstable and sometimes disappears. Before Nangong you came, Maple tried to summon newcomers, but it turned out to be a bad person, disgusting." Maple for a long time. But Nangong and you seem to be cheating, it can’t be called European Qi, it’s more like modifying the data, how can we not be curious.”

Everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement with Shizuka Hiratsuka's words, even Chu Xuan.

After all, a highly accidental outbreak like Maple's can be called European Qi, while Nangong Xiao's as usual, as normal, idiosyncratic, can only be achieved by cheating.

"I didn't open it, I'm sure. Those abnormalities must be something wrong with the system, and it has nothing to do with me." After hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Nangong Xiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, but also looked at Mei curiously. Pru, "You actually brought a newcomer?"

Maple said with a little puzzlement, "Xiao-chan, don't mention it, alas~~ Fortunately, that guy died on the way to change jobs, otherwise I couldn't help but execute it myself... Cough, anyway, Xiao-chan, come on Oh~"

"Even if you say that, in the face of this kind of random thing, I want to work hard and don't know what to do. I can't burn incense and bathe first and pray for Sanqing, Buddha, and Jehovah to bless the SSR..." Nangong Xiao broke her mouth Finally, ignoring the expectant gazes of these women, he directly clicked on his task interface.

Guide

Task 10: Guarantee the survival of newcomers to Level: [-] (not completed)

Task [-]: Lead newcomers into a town in the current world. (undone)

Task [-]: Guidance for newcomers to adapt to the current world. (undone)

Task reward: Gold coin X1, random bright gold weapon X1, random primary magic scroll X1

Failure penalty: Newcomers who die before Level: 10 will have their [Physique] permanently reduced by 5%.

Yes/No to accept the task?

Under the curious gazes of Asuna and the others, Nangong Xiao directly clicked 'Yes', and then clicked to confirm the option to summon newcomers immediately.

Immediately, a white light appeared in front of Nangong Xiao, and as the white light quickly dissipated, a girl with long hair reaching her waist, dressed in a neon female student uniform, and holding an anthology in her hand, soon appeared in front of everyone.

Just when everyone looked at the girl, Shizuka Hiratsuka exclaimed.
