Chapter Thirteen Finalized
"It was my people who started the fight." I already knew the situation before the person from Siluo Chamber of Commerce said it. "Don't worry, it's my summoned creatures that are resisting the opponent's troops. The ones who came before were just the vanguard troops, but the opponent's large troops have just arrived now, and it looks like there are quite a lot of them!"
"You know?" Silo looked at me slightly surprised.
I smiled. "Since you know who I am, how could you forget what I do?"
Silo suddenly realized and patted her head: "I remember, you rely on your magic pet to make a living!"
"Correct, so I can know what my magic pet is doing at any time. For example, now, they seem to have hit a hard nail."
The situation outside was even more chaotic than I expected. When Silo and I rushed outside, the two sides were already fighting. But what is a little surprising is that the combatants are not two parties, but six parties.
The people from the Silo Chamber of Commerce and my demon pets belong to the same side. They are currently gathering at the entrance of the alley to block the enemy's entry. Outside the alley, it is more chaotic, because there are five groups of forces there. The most numerous of these five groups are the city defense troops. They were supposed to maintain law and order, but now the only way to maintain law and order in this situation is to join the melee. The other four parties belong to four guilds respectively, which can be seen from their badges, but because the equipment of the guild members is not uniform, it looks a little "chaotic".
The five factions were fighting lively outside the alley, but on the contrary, my demon pets were safer. There are only two alleys to enter the Silo Chamber of Commerce. Although they are not too narrow, they cannot accommodate a few people. What surprises me is that the demon pets who escorted Xinyin to Tianyu City have actually rushed back. Lucky and Plague have shrunk in size and are blocking the intersection. If anyone comes in, it will be a mouthful of dragon fire. Don't care about anyone. Come in. Besides, Ling and Xiaochun stood above them respectively. Even if they rushed through the dragon flames, they had to consider whether they could block the demi-god-level magic bombing.
Except the ground. The sky is naturally one of the venues for competition, but it is dominated by the city defense army. On the ground, the city defense army suffered a loss because they were blocked on the periphery due to traffic problems. There were not so many traffic problems in the sky. The sky was full of Pegasus knights from the city defense team. No one from the other four families dared to take off.
"Good guys, the air cavalry of the City Guard are probably here, right?" I asked, looking at the sky.
Silo looked up and said, "I only saw the 1st, 4th, and 5th Air Cavalry Regiments, and there are three more that are not there."
"There are quite a few anti-aircraft troops in Paris."
"After all, it's a city without walls, so we need to prepare more reserves!"
"That's right." I looked around. Then he waved to Ling Zhao in the distance, and she immediately spread her wings and flew over, while Amynis jumped up and took her place.
"Are you done talking?" Ling knew that we should have successfully completed the negotiation when he saw Silo standing with us.
I nodded: "How is it here?"
"The efficiency of the city defense force is quite good. If there is plague and luck at this intersection, it will be ok. If at most two people are left as mobile troops, it will be absolutely fine. What? Do you want to withdraw?"
"As you wish, let Lucky and Plague stay, plus Crystal and Xiaosan as backup, and let Xiao Longnu stay to prepare for rescue at any time, and Aina also stay to do support work such as nursing and treatment. The others will follow I'm leaving."
"Understood." Ling pointed to the sky with his staff, and a red light bullet immediately shot straight into the sky. The people on our side immediately turned back to look at Ling after seeing the light bullet. Ling pointed at the person I wanted to keep, and then quickly made a series of gestures, and the Earth Gate and Phoenix Dragon Space unfolded at the same time. The people below began to move quickly, and the venue was completely cleared in an instant. Only the people from Siluo Chamber of Commerce were still standing there in a daze.
Silo gave me a thumbs up. "He is indeed the strongest summoner in the entire server. He is so efficient!"
"Of course. We are regular troops." Ling accepted the praise unceremoniously. "Oh, that's right." Ling pointed to a small patch of ruins in the distance and said, "I just accidentally destroyed that house. Are you okay?"
Silo took a look and then said: "That's a shop that buys used weapons. Just pay some money. It won't be too expensive."
"That's good." Ling put a finger on my chin from below and said, "Don't deduct other people's wages."
"Did I say I would deduct your salary?"
"That's pretty much it." After receiving a satisfactory answer, Lingcai turned around and jumped into the Fenglong space.
Silo looked at me in surprise and asked, "Are all your demon pets like this?"
"A bit more lively, right?" I said nonchalantly: "Which one do you prefer, a stupid and useless magic pet or a high-level magic pet that occasionally causes a little awkwardness?"
"I don't have a magic pet anyway. Whichever one is better for me is better than now."
"Ah? How come you don't have a magic pet?"
"I can't find the right one!"
"Do you need us to get one for you? We can give it to you for free if you are below level 600."
"Why are you so embarrassed? Demonic pets are very expensive now!"
"I've cooperated with you on such a big business, so it's nothing to give me some leadership."
"What if I want a magic pet above level 600?"
"Then it depends on the specific level and type. But I won't ask you for too much money. But don't count on magic pets above level 1,000. Our guild doesn't even have enough!"
"Above a thousand levels?" Silo asked in surprise: "Are there any types of demon pets that are above a thousand levels?"
"What you saw just now, Ling, is that most of my magic pets are over a thousand levels. Even if they are less than a thousand levels, I will slowly improve them. Okay, let's go to the mining area first, and let me know on the way. What kind of magic pet do you want? It would be best to have a specific type. Oh, by the way, this is for you." I flipped through a thick book like a big dictionary from Fenglong Space and handed it over. "Our bank will have a detailed catalog of the types of magic pets for sale. It contains photos and basic information of various magic pets. The prices are also marked at the back. We will give you whichever one you refer to if it is below level 600. If it is above level 600, click here. Just pay 10% of the cost.”
"Is the profit from selling magic pets so huge?"
I nodded: "The profit of 90% is indeed very large, but now it is a seller's market. Most types have been out of stock for a long time, and it is normal for the price to be high. The price above is still ordered by the guild that has a relationship with us. Even if ordinary players You won’t sell it even if you come to us.”
"Then why don't you increase the number of arrests?" Silo is a businessman, so he is naturally very interested in things that can make money.
While riding Yeying, I summoned Xiaoxue and asked Silo to ride on it for the time being. Then I said to her: "Catching a demon pet is not as simple as killing monsters. An 800-level ordinary player can be killed as long as he doesn't make too many mistakes." It is an ordinary monster at level 800, but it is difficult for a group of elite level 800 players to guarantee the capture of a level 600 monster. In fact, the seven-person capture team in our guild successfully captured the level 800 creature. The rate is only about one-eighth.”
"One-eighth? Isn't that full height?"
"It's very high, but the problem is that our guild is the only one in the world that has such a capture team, and there are only three of them. Each of these three capture teams is equipped with two animal trainers with full capture skills. In addition, these The animal trainers are all equipped with equipment that improves the success rate of capture. You must know that each piece of these equipment can be sold for millions of crystal coins on the outside market. And it is also priceless. We, the capture masters, are all equipped with equipment. The equipment costs approximately 20 to 30 million crystal coins, and ordinary guilds simply cannot afford it."
"Why is it so expensive?"
"Because magic pets are expensive, these things can increase the success rate of capture, which is equivalent to equipment that can produce money. Do you think a money printing machine is expensive?"
"No wonder!"
"The problem doesn't stop there. The capture master in the capture team is very important, but other members are equally important. The average level of the capture team members in our guild is above level 850, and they all have excellent combat skills. masters. These people are basically either presidents or top members in other guilds, and it is almost impossible to have much time to go out to catch demon pets. The scientific research part of our guild also provides many large machinery and special equipment. If it were not for those Things, the success rate is not even one tenth. In addition, the personal equipment of these arresting team members is also specially arranged by our guild. Almost everyone has three or five artifacts on their body, and some people are even like me. Full artifact set. Sometimes when we encounter particularly valuable high-end items, I and some of the top 30 players in our guild in the world will send out support. Sometimes we will even mobilize thousands of people to hunt, and if it doesn’t work, Just send super high-level NPCs. But even with such efforts, we only get one-eighth of the success rate. You said that our 90% profit is not much at all."
"It's really not too much for you to say that."
"So we only provide a small amount of magic pets to the alliance guilds with which we have good relations. Basically, they are not sold to the outside world. Magic pet eggs and the like are mainly used by the players in the guild. Some of them are used as prizes to reward members who have made outstanding contributions to the guild. Sold to members of the guild at cost price."
Silo asked while flipping through the information: "What if someone joins your guild and buys a magic pet and then withdraws?"
"The review system of this guild is extremely strict, and it is better to be deficient than indiscriminate. Moreover, every guild member must sign a system agreement when purchasing and using the welfare permanent items provided by the guild. Once they withdraw from the membership, the magic pets purchased during this period will will enter an invalid state, not only will they still occupy the magic pet slot, but they will also be unable to be summoned and used. The same goes for some of the guild's elixirs that provide benefits. Once they withdraw from the membership, all the points they have gained due to these elixirs will disappear. Dropped. So far, our guild has only had seven cases of people quitting after cheating on benefits. These people were deprived of their benefits and were killed by the guild's ruling team and returned to Novice Village. In the future, as long as there are people in this guild, When the people in the guild find out about them, they will immediately send out the Judgment Team to hunt them down again. As far as I know, only one of the seven people seems to have not changed his number. He was massacred just last week and is probably still in the Novice Village. In addition, All six of them deleted their accounts, changed their names, and practiced again.”
"You are really cruel!"
"Traitors are more hateful than enemies. This punishment system was unanimously approved by the guild vote. The enemies just have a different stance from us. Winning on the battlefield means winning, and we will not 'force' others to a dead end. But traitors are If there is no existence value, if you don’t kill him and delete his account, you will be sorry for yourself.”
"Strange thoughts." Silo shook her head to express that she could not understand my theory at all.
"Because you are not Chinese."
"I still don't understand. You Chinese are like aliens to us. Your views are so strange. And I think you Chinese are always mysterious and secretive in everything you do."
"It's a national custom. It goes back to the Ice Age."
"Isn't it?" Silo obviously didn't believe it.
"It's very simple. Because most of Europe is plain, with nowhere to hide, your ancestors had to hunt large beasts by hunting. This required your ancestors to jump in front of the beasts and make a lot of noise to scare them away. And you inherited This habit of our ancestors always has a strong desire to express themselves, and they like to show everything about themselves to intimidate and deter your enemies. But the situation in China is different. Most of our mountains and forests are very suitable for concealment. Therefore, our ancestors from the East like to find a place to hide first, and then wait until they have clearly studied the weaknesses and habits of the prey, and then suddenly jump out to kill it when the enemy is not paying attention. Now we Chinese have inherited this from our ancestors This kind of character trait, we like to hide ourselves first, no matter how other countries jump around, we will not move, unless we are sure that we can kill the enemy with one blow, we will never expose ourselves."
Silo said happily: "What you said makes sense! Where did you find it? Is it the result of a certain research laboratory?"
"I made it up." I smiled and pointed forward: "We are almost there. The map you gave us is not very clear. Where is the mine?"
"There. That lake behind the forest, do you see it?"
"kindness."
"The mining area starts from the north side of the lake. There may be a lot of area under the lake, but we don't have enough equipment, so we didn't go to see it. Then follow the woods over there. And then extend over there, until the mountain The foot of the mountain is the area where we have explored to confirm the existence of raw ore. As for whether there is any underground ore under the mountain, we don’t know. It is a high-level monster area. We don’t dare to get close. We can’t hire players to help with this kind of thing, so it’s unclear how big the area is. Not sure."
I took a general look at the large area that Silo pointed out, and then said: "This is not small! According to the data you gave, as long as it is not a coincidence that all the eyes you shot hit the mine eyes, then it should be considered It’s a rich ore. As long as half of the twelve sampling points you hit hit the average point, this will be a super rich ore.”
"Then do you plan to send people to mine now?"
“We have to prospect first, and the mountain may have to be moved, and the lake must be drained.”
"Such a big project?" Silo herself was shocked.
"You don't have to worry about it. We'll pay for it anyway. You just have to wait for the refining ore to come out and split the money."
"It's really convenient to work with you." I patted Yeying's neck. "Let's go down."
After landing on the ground, I looked around. This place seemed to be on the edge of the monster area, but no high-level monsters were found. According to Silo, the mountains over there are the paradise of monsters, and this area only belongs to the peripheral area. You can see some monsters below level 600 at most.
"Are you going back to call someone now?" Silo asked me.
"It's not that troublesome." I reached out and showed the love ring on my finger. "Do you have a family number that I can use? Hello, wife."
"What happened this time? Are you surrounded by a large army and need rescue?"
"Hehe. This time it's a big deal."
"Big deal? I heard that you and Yinxue went to Paris. What big deal did you encounter?"
"Colorful magic crystal, do you think it's a big deal?"
"How many dollars?"
"A whole vein of ore."
"What?" Rose's voice suddenly rose an octave. "Ore vein? How big is it? Does it have an owner? What's the possibility of mining? Is it a special area? Should we send people over to guard the mining area now?"
"We only need an exploration team for the time being. We haven't figured out the specific reserves of the mining area yet. The one who discovered the mining area was the Silo Chamber of Commerce in France. I signed an agreement with their president to acquire this mining area with 15% of the production. Mining rights, all mining and defense are covered by us.”
Rose paused for a while before asking: "You didn't know the location of the mining area in advance, did you?"
"Of course. Why else would I give fifteen percent in exchange for this position?"
"In that case, your transaction was very successful, and the price of 15% is still acceptable."
"Don't make it sound like I don't know how to talk about business. Although I'm not studying economics, I'm not stupid, okay?"
"Hey, are you kidding me? Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me the coordinates, and the mining and exploration team will be on their way right away."
"The coordinates are.... Remember to hurry up. It's best to send some more guards here. We are not the only ones staring at this place. They didn't know the place before, so they could only put pressure on the Silo Chamber of Commerce. Once we start to explore the location, they will Can’t hide it anymore.”
"That's it!" Rose seemed a little embarrassed and said: "There are really few manpower in the guild now! RB and the United States are at war now, and we can't separate the manpower at all when we fight on two fronts!"
"Then what do you think is the possibility if we build a permanent base here?"
"Tianyu City already has an exit in France. It seems a bit redundant to establish a permanent base. However, considering the problem of the ore veins, I am not opposed to building a permanent base, but we still have to cooperate with Let’s discuss it.”
"Then let them vote! I will vote in favor and tell them after they finish voting. But whether the city is built or not, the exploration team has to hurry up."
"ok."
After cutting off the contact, I said to Silo: "It seems that we may have to wait here for a while. It would be better for us to do some cleaning work in advance during this time." As I said that, I turned around and held a small make-up mirror in front of me. The dressed Yinxue said: "Miss, it's your turn to do the work."
"No time."
"I didn't buy you so many things just to let you go on strike!"
Yinxue put away the small makeup box, then stood up and said: "I'm not on strike, but I don't want to become a low-level laborer. I am a national guardian beast, not a porter."
I said with an embarrassed look on my face: "How did you know that I wanted you to help level the place?"
"I can tell by the look on your face. Don't ask me for such low-level jobs in the future. Also, it's because you bought so many things for me today that I helped you do odd jobs and kill those little guys. I won't do this again." That's good." After saying that, Yinxue actually handed me a finger.
I took it over puzzledly. "what is this?"
"The work agreement. It contains what I do and what I don't do. Take a good look at it."
"Isn't it?" I'm sure Yinxue didn't know about these things before I left the cosmetics store. This should have been told to her by someone in the store when I left. Oh my god! I'm so unlucky! It's a pity that even though I'm angry, I don't dare to do anything to Yinxue. I had no choice but to read the treaty carefully. Fortunately, Yinxue didn't make any excessive demands. The scope of her work is for enemies of the same level as her, which means she doesn't care about the little monsters. She will only take action when there is a super boss that we can't handle. The second scope of work is that she will take action when the enemy outnumbers us by a large amount and we do not have enough troops to reinforce or are too late to reinforce. The third job scope is that she will take action when the bank's interests are violated and we are unable to protect them. Except for the above three items, other jobs will not be accepted. However, there is an additional clause at the end, which basically means that she will not absolutely not do small things, but she will give benefits. As long as the benefits are in place and she is in a good mood, she can help with small things.
After reading that thing, I almost fainted from anger. Fortunately, I was well-behaved enough and took a dozen deep breaths to finally calm down. "Yinxue."
"What?"
I picked up the paper and tore it into pieces. "I don't admit this kind of thing."
"You...!" Yinxue's emotions instantly reached the breaking point.
