Chapter 126 Cost

In modern warfare, the key to determining the outcome of a war is not a clever military command or high-tech weapons and equipment, but a strong ability to replenish human resources and reproduce equipment. m (Baidu search:, the fastest update for reading novels)

In a war, even if one million people die in battle, as long as there are enough manpower and material reserves, the warring side can quickly pull up another team and continue to fight. Through this continuous investment, the enemy will be consumed until the end of the war. Knock down your opponent.

Due to the fact that the Red Police Corps could not be taken away from the world, it was once cast aside by many adventurers, but its strong reproduction ability allows users to theoretically create a steady stream of troops as long as they have enough resources to crush opponent.

No matter how strong the adventurers are, with such a steady stream of troops, they can only be defeated.

And they will be very aggrieved when they lose - they can't even touch the enemy's adventurers, and they can't do it if they want to stand up for death.

For Edmund, if the three-region alliance did not run at that time, with the huge consumption of adventurers at that time, Edmund would definitely choose to make a strong attack.

But since the three-region alliance wants to trade space for time and time for recovery, then Edmund doesn't mind letting them know that time is actually on his side.

So he was not in a hurry to attack, but gave way to the red police team in the rear to continue production.

Consumed stamina can be recovered, spirit can be increased, but used medicines and props will not be recovered, and adventurers who died in battle cannot be revived...

Some strengths, once they disappear, are gone forever.

At this moment, after understanding Edmund's thoughts, everyone's faces became extremely ugly.

"Then what should we do now? We can't just wait here until Edmund forms an army to deal with us, right?" an adventurer asked anxiously.

Shen Yihua Tianrui and others were silent in thought.

The current situation is neither offensive nor defensive.

Offensive, the Three-District Alliance has traveled such a long distance, and now they run back to trouble others.

Defending means waiting for the enemy to replenish their forces before another wave.

In the defensive battle of Ankheed, the three-zone alliance first took advantage of the location, and then surrounded and ambushed,

In the end, blood was used to kill most of the troops, and in this way, eleven adventurers died.

If there is another wave, I am afraid it will be completely wiped out.

Everyone is thinking, but no one can come up with a good solution.

Wei Chibo finally lost his composure: "We can't wait any longer, no matter what, we can't let the Purgatory Sect organize another army to encircle us. Let's rush back, go straight to their main formation, and destroy their base production line. "

Shen Yi said lightly: "First, we don't know where their base production line is. Second, even if we can find it, there may be a large number of troops there. Third, even if there are no troops, with Aiwa, as long as Edmund lifts the domain, they can also Go back to support at any time. Rushing over is sending sheep into the tiger's mouth."

"It's better than waiting to die here!" Ruan Changhe said.

"Are you waiting to die? Not necessarily." Shen Yi said suddenly.

Hua Tianrui heard the meaning of these words, he looked at Shen Yi: "Do you have an idea?"

Shen Yi smiled: "I can't say what I think, I just have a few questions. By the way, King Hua Ying, King Lin, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you."

"What?" the two said in unison.

"Why are the bets in your districts only a few million? I originally thought that with the strength of the four major organizations, if you want to bet, you have to bet tens of millions, right?"

Lin Weisheng smiled: "Do you think it's all you? Can you earn millions of blood points in one mission? Yes, the four major organizations are big businesses, but they are not companies after all."

Lin Weisheng's words pointed out the biggest difference between the four major organizations and traditional companies—that is, the relationship between adventurers and organizations is not as interdependent as companies and employees.

The relationship between the company and its employees is to achieve a certain profit goal by gathering the strength of multiple people. Employees create benefits for the company, and the company distributes dividends to employees.

In the bloody city, due to the limited number of people in the mission world, it is almost impossible for major organizations to jointly perform missions. The missions that adventurers participate in have basically nothing to do with the organization, and each is extremely independent.

The major organizations strengthen their ties through bloodlines, mentoring and apprenticeship bonds, but in terms of benefit distribution, they have no right to allow adventurers to hand in the blood points they have earned desperately. (.)

They can only collect a small amount of points through means such as franchise membership fees, religious dedication, and filial piety between teachers and apprentices. However, under the background of a society where money is life, even fanatical believers rarely hand in most of their risky income, so the income is always limited. .

The income of major organizations is mainly concentrated in the wilderness, which is obtained by demarcating some areas.

However, the wilderness is too large, and the major organizations cannot occupy so many places. Adventurers will not go to places occupied by others to pay protection fees unless they have special needs. Even when the Broken Blade team was in the wilderness, they basically detoured when they encountered areas designated by major organizations.

Therefore, the four major organizations have always lacked obvious profit growth points.

The lack of a goal that can be operated for a long time is the congenital limitation of the four major organizations, which is independent of human will.

Because of this, in essence, the four major organizations are not unified organizations that exist for the purpose of profit grabbing, but loose alliance organizations that take joint self-protection, information sharing, and mutual communication as their basic needs.

For the same reason, in such a gamble that concerns the interests of major organizations, paying millions is already a gamble of all.

If you really want to calculate it, a few million is the worth of a four-difficulty adventurer. After a war is fought, the value of the dead adventurers far exceeds the gambling income.

But for the major organizations, the dead adventurers can be recruited again, but the profits from the gambling game are actually their own.

Therefore, for the loss of adventurers, the Supreme Council is actually more distressed than the major organizations. If we regard the major organizations as state-owned enterprises and the Supreme Council as the central government, then the leaders of the major organizations are executives, and the adventurers themselves are the interests, and all this can be understood.

Shen Yi suddenly asked this question, which made Lin Weisheng a little confused, but he knew that Shen Yi would not ask questions for no reason, so he just looked at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi has already nodded: "That is to say, for the Purgatory Sect, the investment of several million blood points is not a small investment, is it?"

"Of course, it can't be a small investment for anyone... Well, it's average for you. I heard that your big universe project has invested tens of millions of funds." Lin Weisheng said with a smile: "Even for an organization, It’s not easy to do that.”

"That's easy." Shen Yi nodded and said: "As long as Edmund is not extravagant enough to spend millions of points, I'm sure he won't have too many troops."

Hua Tianrui understood what he meant: "The construction of the Red Police Corps needs resources, but it also needs blood points. The consumption of points depends on the resources obtained locally. The more resources obtained locally, the less points are consumed. But no matter what, the most basic point consumption is still there. Tatooine is not a rich ore planet, and Edmund must invest no less than three or four million points in order to build such an army in a short period of time."

Lin Weisheng also understood Shen Yi's meaning: "The advantage of the Purgatory Sect is actually based on Edmund's willingness to spare no expense. As long as he can win, the profits from the gambling will naturally make up for him."

"It's not just that!" Shen Yi replied: "Before the death match, the Purgatory Sect was attacked by the three major organizations. It paid a heavy price and its prestige declined. Edmund urgently needs a war to make up for everything he lost. Therefore, for him, Saving face is the first priority, and the blood point is second. If I were Edmund, I would choose to make a comprehensive estimate, including all the possible gains from the game, on the cost of this operation Spending!"

"That's right, Edmund is actually advancing the gambling profits to create an advantage for himself... This guy is really willing to spend the money!" Hua Tianrui couldn't help but admire.

Other organizations hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, but Edmund gambled on the basis of giving up all profits, and it was precisely because of this that the three districts were beaten into a mess.

"Then why not more?" Lin Weisheng asked.

"Because the investment is not directly proportional to the return. Edmund can gain prestige by giving up profits. At least the Purgatory Sect did not lose money in this war, and because of the victory, the strength of the four major organizations has changed. The Purgatory Sect is equivalent to earning money." Yes. But if the Purgatory Sect has invested tens of millions of dollars in order to win, instead of obtaining the expected profit, it has paid a lot. Such a victory is absolutely unacceptable to the congregation. The reason why I asked you why the major organizations only invest Several million, I just want to know whether these millions are important to the major organizations. Since it is important, Edmund can't just burn it!"

"That's right." King Kong also agreed: "That's why he has to fight us first after gathering the first troops. Look at the gap, and then decide to invest in the follow-up. Otherwise, why should he produce in batches? Five hundred vehicles Apocalypse is better than 300 vehicles, isn't it?"

"The problem is that a few million can't be burned casually, hundreds of thousands is still okay. At least Edmund can afford the money himself." Gentle reminded.

"No!" Shen Yi shook his head immediately: "The cost line is a psychological watershed. If the investment does not exceed the cost line, then it is just a matter of earning more or less for the Purgatory Sect. Once the cost line is exceeded, even if it loses a bloody point , It also means that the Purgatory Sect is doing a loss-making business. Either Edmund will control the investment below the cost line, or he will simply risk everything just to win. In the last battle, we lost eleven people, and the situation has already changed. We are at a great disadvantage, and there is no need for him to go all out just to go crazy."

"I support Shen Yi's point of view." Hua Tianrui said immediately, he is the heir of Longmeng, and he knows that Edmund's position in Purgatory Sect is not indestructible. War in the bloody city is not a real-time strategy game, and there is no such thing as spending all your money in order to win.

The military serves politics.

In any case, it was impossible for Edmund to accept the result of winning a war but losing internal support.

So now he is fully planning, that is, investing the remaining expected profits in manufacturing, but he will never cross the cost line mentioned by Shen Yi.

"But if he finds out that he still can't win, he will definitely go crazy." Zhishan, the quiet monk, finally interjected.

Not exceeding the cost is based on victory. If you can't win the three-region league in this way, and you can't even get the expected profit from the game, it is already a loss. At that point, I believe that Edmund will no longer worry about the cost line, just like a red-eyed gambler, the only way for him to win back his capital is to increase investment.

"So in the next battle, we're afraid we won't be able to escape, and we must never give him a third chance to build troops." Shen Yi sighed. The guerrilla warfare plan was completely abolished because of Edmund's arsenal, and some things still had to be resolved with fists.

Everyone was still discussing, when Frost came over from a distance, and gave Shen Yi a signal look.

Shen Yi understood, and said to everyone: "I still have something to do, so let's leave first."

He went to Frost and asked, "What's the matter?"

Frost replied in a low voice: "Michelle has news."

Shen Yi hurriedly stopped Frost, and the two walked towards the place where there was no one else.

Seeing Shen Yi leave, everyone lost interest in discussing any further. While Edmund was still building troops, everyone took the time to rest.

The unfavorable situation made everyone feel a little less confident about victory.

Positive people think hard about countermeasures, negative people drink alcohol to relieve their worries, activists step up their defenses, optimists boost morale, and of course there are nervous people who don't care about the coming threat at all, but their minds are wandering in other areas.

The Variety Enchantress leaned against the rock with her right leg leaning against the wall and her left leg standing upright. She was using a small nail clipper to trim her nails. After repairing it, she stretched out her slender hand and pointed it at the sun, reflecting Kodan's colorful light.

Then she took out a vanity case and began to dress up in the small mirror above.

Hong Lang walked over.

Leaning on the rock next to Yao Ji, she said grandly: "Sure enough, you women are all leisurely, and you don't forget to dress up under such circumstances."

A smile appeared on the face of the Variety Enchantress: "You men are also good, and you don't forget to pick up girls in this situation."

Hong Lang looked up to the sky and laughed a few times: "There is no such thing, just idle is idle, seeing that you are lonely by yourself, let's chat with you."

He raised his hand as if stretching his waist, and when he lowered his hand, it had naturally landed on the neck of the ever-changing enchantress.

Standard men's tentative actions when seducing a woman.

The Variety Fairy did not push Hong Lang's left arm away, she just said indifferently: "I like direct men."

Hong Lang immediately said: "I want to sleep with you."

flutter!

Not far away, Wen Rou suddenly laughed out loud.

Hong Lang gave her a hard look.

Women who like to listen to the walls are indeed the most annoying.

The Variety Fairy also smiled, and looked at Hong Lang like a flower in her eyes: "Why are you looking for me?"

She pointed to Jin Shengji in the distance with her chin: "Isn't she not bad?"

"You are different..." Hong Lang coughed lightly, and he leaned closer to the ear of the ever-changing enchantress: "Can't you change shape? I heard that you became the little girl like Aiwa last time? With you, it is equal to I have all the women in the world."

So this is ah.

The feeling is that after hearing about himself and Bogas, this bastard thought he had a chance...

The Variety Fairy looked at Hong Lang with teasing eyes: "It's like this...then who do you want me to be?"

Hong Lang glanced at Wenrou, and saw Wenrou's gaze stabbing towards him like a knife, his heart froze, and then he looked at Zhao Linger, and saw Zhao Linger was also staring at him coldly, he was shocked, thinking how could everyone be on guard against him up? I had no choice but to whisper: "You are doing well."

The Variety Fairy covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "I want to go for a walk, are you interested in accompanying me?"

"Happy to accompany you!" Hong Lang knew that he had made a good start.

"Then come with me." The Bewitching Fairy winked at Hong Lang, and walked towards the back of the mountain first.

Hong Lang happily followed.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Zhou Yiyu said jealously: "I bet he won't be able to fuck that woman after a day of washing dishes, he's just being teased by that woman."

"I bet he can do it. In fact, in the eyes of women, wave ball is still attractive, and the action style is always more attractive than the language style." King Kong said.

"Shen Yi definitely doesn't support your argument, so I bet he can't, three days." Rourou also smiled.

"Then let me do it too." Hua Tianrui walked over suddenly and said, "I bet Hong Lang will succeed halfway."

"What does half success mean?" Everyone was puzzled.

Hua Tianrui smiled and said: "You will know what it means when the time comes. If I win, I want you to tell me, besides the dilapidated steel Great Wall, what arrangements and backhands does Shen Yi have in this place?"

Everyone's expressions changed at the same time.

At the same time, in the small jungle not far away.

Hong Lang and the Variety Enchantress were rolling enthusiastically.

Hong Lang galloped on the woman's body in the wildest posture, and the fair and delicate skin showed red halos one after another under the attack of his greedy big mouth.

The woman let out a high-pitched gasp from below her body, which stimulated Hong Lang's excited nerves even more.

She deformed in excitement, and suddenly turned into the appearance of Jin Shengji, having sex with Hong Lang.

This made Hong Lang even more excited: "I knew you could do it!"

The Variety Fairy laughed even happier: "What do you still want me to look like?"

"Audrey Hepburn, she is my goddess!"

So in the next moment, the captivating enchantress has changed into Audrey Hepburn's appearance and enjoys herself with Hong Lang.

Hong Lang was pumping/inserting more and more excitedly: "This is simply wonderful. I only found out today that Mystique is the most valuable ability."

"It's a pity that I will always have an extra layer of blue skin that I can't get rid of..." The Ever-changing Enchantress sighed.

"Didn't you solve this problem?"

"Who said I've solved it?" The Ever-changing Demon Fairy gave Hong Lang a blank look: "They just never want to use their body to manifest themselves!"

Hong Lang's pumping/inserting speed obviously slowed down, he stared at the ever-changing enchantress: "You... you mean... so that...that..."

"That's my usual form, but I've been using it for a long time, and everyone thinks that's my original image." The Variety Enchantress looked at Hong Lang jokingly and said.

So this is ah.

"Then... then you... what does your body... look like?" Hong Lang asked curiously.

"do you want to see?"

"certainly."

"You won't like it." The woman replied leisurely.

The beauty in front of him began to change, that beautiful face gradually disappeared, and Hong Lang's heart also gradually sank to the bottom.

He felt as if something had pushed him out.

All good things are broken in my heart.

"Oh, no... no..."

In the small forest, Hong Lang's shriek sounded like killing a pig, echoing everywhere:

"Man... oh my god... you are a fucking man!!"
