Chapter 116 Generous Reward! A Thousand Gold for Bones!

Hang Yu asked Xiao Ba to report the current resource reserves of the territory.

Xiao Ba: "The resource reserves of the territory are: 9539 Abyss Magic Crystals, 46945 first-level food, 21521 first-level materials, 8359 first-level material essences, 3801 gray equipment, 463 white equipment, and 378650 Abyss Essence!"

After the number of players increased.

The income of the territory continued to surge.

It has been less than five days since the second test was launched.

The food reserves are so much that they are about to burst.

For most lords, food supply is always a headache.

Because a second-level lord has at least two thousand or even more troops, even if each soldier consumes only one portion of food a day, the fixed daily expenditure of extraordinary ingredients reaches thousands.

Other lords do not have a tenfold explosion rate, so they need to arrange a considerable proportion of soldiers to hunt for food to maintain the needs of the territory.

Once there are casualties in the hunting process, it will be a huge loss for the territory, so for the sake of insurance, the lord will arrange soldiers to squat in a limited range and hunt limited monsters.

Not only is the output efficiency low.

It also drags down the growth of the territory and the army.

Hang Yu has never had this problem.

On the one hand, his army is small, with only 600 people, and the daily consumption is far less than the income.

On the other hand, players rely on the blessing of heaven, immortality, and a wide hunting area. As long as they can get more benefits, they dare to take risks and even die, and naturally they can get dozens of times the income.

Territory materials are slightly lower than food inventory.

In fact, material income far exceeds food. This is because not all wild monsters will drop food, but almost all wild monsters will drop materials, and even some humanoid monsters will drop various materials.

As for why the inventory is not as good as food?

It is mainly a problem of consumption.

Materials can be used for refining medicine, refining equipment, and construction, and can also be converted into essence to strengthen and repair equipment for players.

Because there are too many places where they need to be used, a lot of players have to buy medicine and strengthen equipment every day, which causes a lot of consumption on inventory.

Even though there are two spiritual fields where a large number of herbs can be planted to supplement the materials for refining medicine, and there are also a lot of garbage gray equipment that can be recycled as materials for refining, the inventory level of materials in the territory is still far lower than that of food.

Especially a group of second-level players have just appeared.

The consumption of strengthening second-level or green equipment is too high.

Of course, although the inventory is lower, it is enough for the time being.

As for the spirit?

The income is even more amazing.

Because a large number of new players have poured into the territory, even if Hang Yu did not deliberately torment them, the income brought by his own suffering is also considerable, and it is becoming more and more considerable as the player level grows!

However, with more income, there are also more expenses.

Hang Yu himself will consume a lot of spirit.

In addition, training personal guards and issuing tasks to players consumes more in this process!

For example, in the past day, Hang Yu spent 120,000 spirits at one time as the task reward for the Shansang Ancient City task, and spent another 70,000 spirits to upgrade himself by two levels, otherwise the reserve spirit would have exceeded 500,000 long ago.

Hang Yu will also let Xiao Ba automatically optimize or arrange more new tasks according to the needs of the territory and the perspective of cultivating players. These ordinary tasks and daily tasks are also a considerable expense when accumulated.

Of course, compared with food, materials, and essence, the most scarce resource at present is still magic crystals!

The magic crystal inventory was originally only 4539.

The other 5,000 all came from the fortune treasure box.

Even so, it is still far from enough, because recruiting 500 new soldiers at a time requires 10,000 magic crystals, and this does not include the cost of building the Abyss Barracks, which cannot be maintained with the current financial reserves.

Therefore, the top priority is to make money.

Hang Yu wants to build the Abyss Barracks as soon as possible and then recruit enough people. After all, if the territory capacity is sufficient, the more players there are, the higher the income generated.

Expand the players earlier.

Create income one day earlier.

Finally form a snowball effect, become bigger and stronger, and create glory again!

Hang Yu thought about it and realized that the only way to make money quickly was to sell resources. Fortunately, he not only had a large amount of surplus food inventory, but also hundreds or thousands of high-level materials and very high-quality equipment.

In addition, the materials, skills, and construction drawings from the Fortune Treasure Box in Shansang City were also very high-quality and high-value items. Those that were not used could be sold at a high price.

Speaking of the treasure chest harvest.

There were mainly 100 forging stones, 2 skill stones, and 1 construction drawing.

Forging stones can be used to upgrade the equipment level. Hang Yu planned to upgrade the Huangtian Commander suit on his body. First, strengthen each component by several levels, and then the success rate of strengthening will be greatly improved.

If the first-level green suit can be upgraded to a second-level suit, then the attributes can be increased by at least 30%, and the improvement effect after strengthening will be stronger, which is enough to greatly improve personal strength.

Both skill stones are green quality.

One is called "Guardian of the Wind", which is a wind-attributed defensive spell that can not only be used to resist attacks, but also gain a small attribute increase.

One is called "Blinking Shadow Step", which is a fast advance and fast displacement spell that can be used for both attack and dodge, and has very good practical value.

All of the above.

Of course, I will keep all of them for my own use and will not consider using them.

However, I also got a very special blueprint from the treasure chest this time.

[Construction Blueprint: Shansang City Elite Barracks], first-level construction blueprint, construction cost: 4000 magic crystals, 30000 first-level material essence.

This is a special barracks building.

In a sense, it is similar to the "Spirit Horse Stable"!

The function of the stable is to add one hundred spirit horses to the territory, while the function of the Shansang City Elite Barracks is to add fifty "Shansang City Elite Soldiers" to the territory.

This kind of soldier is a spiritual soldier.

Each one is a level 9 elite when summoned.

It can directly form a very strong combat power.

However, the disadvantages are also significant. Because soldiers are special spirits, they cannot be trained or grown, and the recruitment price is relatively expensive.

In general.

The blueprint itself is very good.

Especially for the human race.

Because the biggest disadvantage of the lower races such as the human race is that the starting point is too low, every soldier must be trained from level 1, which not only has a long training cycle, but also has high costs and risks.

Once dead.

Directly scrapped.

All investment is gone!

Although the combat units summoned by this special barracks have no plasticity and growth, they have considerable strength once summoned. Such buildings are very precious for middle and lower races.

Don't underestimate 50 level 9 elite units.

If a human soldier wants to be trained to a level 9 elite, he must at least practice two full-level skills, plus a set of white quality equipment, plus the consumption caused by upgrading. The overall investment is very high for low-level lords.

If there is a special army building in the territory, you can directly summon the formed combat power, and then use this combat power to assist or protect normal army hunting and fighting.

Even if you die in battle.

The most precious essence will not be lost.

As long as there are enough magic crystals, it can be replenished again.

This building is of great significance to most lower-level races, but it is actually not very meaningful to Hang Yu.

After all, the soldiers of the Scourge Army are immortal, and Hang Yu does not have the problem of troop losses. There is no need to spend a staggering amount of money to build such a building, and there is no need to build a troop without growth.

Embarrassing.

It's very useless!

But there is nothing you can do about it.

There are all kinds of blueprints and buildings.

Hang Yu can't expect to get the blueprint he needs every time.

However, although this special barracks building is very useless to Hang Yu, it is not bad luck to get such a blueprint. After all, it has extremely high value and many human lords will be interested in this blueprint.

Thinking of this.

Hang Yu opened the trading hall.

First, take out 20,000 portions of food and sell them at a high price of one magic crystal and five portions.

Then he posted the information of this blueprint on the trading hall, hoping to exchange it for something useful.

It was just as Hang Yu expected.

When the blueprint was put into the trading hall.

It almost immediately attracted the interest of many lords.

Some of these lords wanted to buy with magic crystals, while others wanted to barter, but Hang Yu was not satisfied with the price or the things they offered, so he simply entrusted the communication task to Xiao Ba.

As an intelligent assistant with computing power comparable to supercomputers, the Tiandao Magic Cube is fully capable of processing massive amounts of information at the same time and filtering out low-quality content that wastes time for its owner.

While Xiao Ba was arguing with various lords.

Hang Yu took the time to look through the items on sale in the trading hall.

Among them, there were many materials needed by the territory, such as good quality spiritual grass seeds, or props with good functions. There were several very special things that aroused his interest.

For example, the following item:

[Left arm of flame machine], first-level colonization suit, green medium-quality, strength +15, agility +5, independent defense +50, additional skills: huge force, fire, hook rope.

This is a rare colonization suit.

The so-called colonization suit is a special implantable equipment.

This type of equipment does not include the thirteen common parts, but is a kind of equipment used to replace human body parts or specific organs.

This kind of equipment is usually specially made for disabled soldiers. It is rare to hear that a lord specifically cuts off a soldier's hands and feet, or digs out a soldier's eyes to equip a colonization suit, because the loss of any part of the body will trigger the disability BUFF, resulting in a decrease in attributes.

Take Zhou Ji for example.

This level 12 native expert originally had the strength close to that of a commander, but since he lost his left hand and became disabled, his attributes have declined a lot, and he is only at the level of an elite of the same level.

Although there is a way to eliminate the disability BUFF, and the stars also have a lot of means or medicines to regenerate the disabled parts, Hang Yu has not yet obtained such items or abilities.

"This colonial suit is only 350 magic crystals? Buy it!"

Hang Yu directly bought this cost-effective colonial suit arm.

He then returned to the City Lord's Mansion of Shansang City and asked Zhou Ji and Feng Yi to come to see him.

Hang Yu directly said: "The two of you have made great contributions in the process of capturing Shansang City, especially Zhou Ji, you have made great contributions along the way. The territory has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since there are merits, rewards should be given."

Feng Yi was slightly excited when he heard this.

It seems that Ye Limeng of the Natural Disaster Army did not lie.

The lord will reward subordinates who have made merits, even if the subordinate is not his direct subordinate.

Hang Yu said directly: "Feng Yi, you assisted the Scourge Army to enter the city, cooperated with the Scourge Army soldiers, and bought precious time for the Scourge Army at a critical moment. You will be rewarded with 20,000 contribution points and promoted to the executive deputy city lord, with a monthly salary of 5,000 contribution points!"

After the two became Hang Yu's subordinates.

Hang Yu opened the NPC panel for them.

At this moment, they knew very well what contribution points meant.

These contribution points can not only drive the Scourge Army to perform various difficult tasks, but also exchange for various materials and territory services. Even as an NPC, you can directly exchange contribution points for abyssal essence at a one-to-one ratio!

20,000 contribution points!

That is 20,000 essence!

Feng Yi is already at level 10, and it takes 20,000 to upgrade from level 10 to level 11. That is to say, Hang Yu's reward this time can directly help Feng Yi break through the bottleneck of cultivation!

In addition, Hang Yu also promoted Feng Yi to deputy city lord, with a monthly salary of 5,000, and bonus commission!

What a fairy treatment!

You have to know.

The growth rate of the natives is generally very low.

Feng Yi has been practicing for 20 to 30 years and is still a first-level unit.

Not to mention compared with the natural disaster army blessed by the heaven, even compared with the family soldiers under the command of ordinary lords, there is a big gap, but Hang Yu has provided Feng Yi with generous treatment, which he dared not even think about before!

"Thank you, Lord!"

"I am willing to die for you!"

Feng Yi knelt down and bowed his head.

I am grateful to the Lord for his cultivation from the bottom of my heart!

In fact, for Hang Yu, let alone the contribution points that can be distributed casually, even if it is a fixed expenditure of 5,000 spirits a month, it is a drizzle and nothing at all, but it can effectively win people's hearts.

Hang Yu looked at Zhou Ji again: "As for you, Zhou Ji, I will reward you with 40,000 contribution points, and also make you the Lord of Shansang City, with a monthly salary of 8,000 contribution points!"

Hearing this.

Zhou Ji was stunned.

I didn't expect the reward to be so heavy.

"In the next term, such a generous reward is really unworthy... and this position of lord is very important, so wise people should be selected to take on this important task."

"You deserve it, no need to refuse!"

Hang Yu asked Zhou Ji to be the city lord not because he really expected this city of warriors, but just gave him a title. As for the city management, he must do it himself, or find a few officials with suitable work ability.

"This lord has prepared a special reward for you!"

Hang Yu took out the mechanical arm, "This thing can replace the broken arm, you try it on!"

Under Hang Yu's instructions, Zhou Ji implanted the mechanical arm into his left hand, and felt that the nerves were directly connected to the mechanism, and the five fingers could be used flexibly, which was not much different from a normal arm.

Not only that.

The arm has enhanced attributes.

It also comes with three auxiliary skills.

This is enough to greatly improve the strength.

Zhou Ji was stunned when he looked at his cold mechanical arm. He couldn't believe that there was such a magical creation in this world. The Lord was really powerful and omnipotent!

"I just did some things that I should do, which is far less than one percent of the Lord's reward!"

"No need to say more, since it is given to you, just accept it. If you feel guilty, work harder for me to repay the territory!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Ji is also a straightforward person.

This favor was firmly remembered in his heart.

The reward that Hang Yu gave to the two was undoubtedly too generous. Even if it was reduced by half, it would be enough to make them grateful, but this kind of effect of buying bones with a thousand gold is what they want.

For Hang Yu.

His men can be divided into three parts.

The Guards, the Scourge Army, and the indigenous forces. Although the first two are the foundation, the third is also indispensable. Only when people see that the indigenous people are treated well and the meritorious people are not stingy, more indigenous people will be willing to surrender in the future.

Hang Yu still hopes to recruit some famous officials and generals for his own use.

After all, those who can become famous generals and ministers and go down in history must be people with good fortune. Their cultivation qualifications and attribute panels are definitely not comparable to those of ordinary natives. There are many who can stand alone and surpass most of the star lords.

If anyone receives this.

It will definitely be a huge help to the territory.

"Although I make a lot of money now!"

"But I spend a little too much."

"I have to find a way to generate more income!"

Hang Yu thought of this and edited a collective task for the players.

[Task name: Second resurrection point! ]

[Task content: The territory has the first affiliated town, which will become an important stronghold of the Scourge Army. The advanced blessing point can be used as your second resurrection point. ]

[Task target: Please activate the resurrection point of Shansang City! ]

[Task reward: 1,000 contribution points. The first 100 activated players can get double rewards. ]

Thanks to the reward of 1,000 starting coins from the Jianghu people called Xiao Xiao Shu Tong
