Volume 18 Chapter 173 The Ignored Intruder

Chapter 173 The Ignored Intruder

Following the Frozen Banshee's order, the entire Russian Legion soon started to move. But it's a little different than we imagined. We originally thought that they would at least conduct a comprehensive probing attack on the garrison forces in all directions, and then choose the direction of attack based on the strength of the defense. However, the result was that the Russians directly attacked the entire army without doing any probing. * Pressed towards the frontal defense line guarded by our Frost Rose Alliance.

boom. Accompanied by a loud noise, a large crater suddenly appeared in the land around us. The earth and rocks thrown up by the explosion hit our armor like rain, making a clanging sound.

"Bah...bah." King Chuang spat out the dirt in his mouth and said, "Why am I so unlucky? It's okay to drink salt water at sea, but I still have to eat dirt on land. What an unlucky thing!"

I ignored King Chuang's complaint and asked directly: "If you don't command the fleet at sea, what are you doing here?"

"Isn't this like you asking for instructions?" King Chuang suddenly came up and whispered like a thief: "Our first fleet affiliated reconnaissance formation discovered a large number of underwater ships in the area north of *** According to our follow-up observation, we found that this fleet is a transport team from Russia. They seem to be secretly transporting something to Japan. In order not to expose the situation that we have discovered each other, I did not go Move them so as not to alert the enemy. Do you think we should kill them all? Or what?"

"Is that why you are doing this?" I looked at King Chuang in surprise. "Can't we just inform the military god?"

"Hehe, of course it's not entirely because of this." King Chuang smiled sheepishly, then glared at me, and then quietly pointed to our side and behind with his hand. I followed his finger and glanced in that direction carefully, and then I saw a very cute member of our guild explaining something to several members of our guild.

As soon as I saw the female member, I immediately realized that this guy, He Zhe Chuang Wang, was pretending to be a public servant for personal gain. That mm is a relatively powerful senior member of our guild. It's not about how strong her combat effectiveness is, but her commanding ability is very outstanding. Although her battlefield micro skills are not as good as that of the God of War, and her macro strategy is not as good as that of Sumei and Rose, but considering that the above three have abnormal intelligence, this girl should be regarded as one of the best among people. But... although it's not surprising that King Chuang has taken a liking to her, it's unfortunate that she hasn't taken a liking to him, so Chuang Wang has been trying his best to get close to her. This time, he just sneaked over to report the situation. Soak mm.

"You really know how to pick your time!"

"Hehe, is this human nature?" King Chuang smiled foolishly and touched the back of his head.

I thought about it and looked at the girl again, then turned my head and shouted over there: "Violet."

"Here. What's going on, President?" The girl who was assigning tasks to the people around her immediately looked towards me, while Chuang Wang was so frightened that he quickly turned away without daring to look over there.

I hooked my fingers at her, and then waited for her to run over before saying, "Tell me the task at hand, and then select an amphibious warfare team to follow King Chuang."

Although the size of the little girl is indeed not small, she is definitely not the brainless type. After hearing my order, he glanced at King Chuang who was still pretending not to be stupid. He rolled his eyes and understood the reason. Then he said slightly unhappy: "If the guild needs it, I can Execute the order, and it doesn’t matter to me even if I fall down a few times and go up many levels, but please don’t interfere with my personal issues, I don’t want to say something unpleasant to make everyone look bad.”

Although I knew she would resist, I didn't expect the little girl to have such a big personality. But what she said is absolutely correct. She is just a member of our guild, and she did not sell her body to me as a slave. She can like whoever she likes, and we really cannot and should not control her. However... although I can't directly interfere with her thoughts, I can create opportunities for King Chuang.

"Hey, you're really angry! It's someone else's business if King Chuang likes you. I can't give an order to him not to like you, right? Of course, I'm not qualified to give an order that you must accept him. If you don't like it, It’s just that he doesn’t accept it, so why should he be angry with me?”

"But you just..." She suddenly stopped in the middle of her words because she suddenly remembered that I just asked her to go with King Chuang and didn't say what she was going to do. Besides, I also told her to gather a group of experts. Amphibious warfare personnel are clearly going on a mission. As a senior member of the guild, it is only natural to carry out the combat tasks issued by the president. It seems that she really has nothing to object to.

"Why didn't you tell me?" When I saw her stuck, I knew she had figured it out, so I asked her deliberately to make her feel stronger.

"I'm sorry, I was the one who fucked you before. But it's true that you intended to set us up, right?" Although he knew that he had overreacted before, he is a commanding talent and his brain is much more flexible than ordinary people, so although he apologized immediately, he still The momentum has not weakened at all.

Although this little girl's intelligence is not low, she is far from being playful with me, not to mention that I am the president and she is a member. The so-called official level kills people. In itself, we are not equal in our dialogue status. "I admit that I have the intention to match him, but that's my plan, and I didn't order you to accept him. It's up to you whether you accept him or not. If I want to set him up, you just don't accept it. You can't do that. Because I have this idea, you start to resist, right? Besides, as long as I don't give orders about your personal issues, it's all guild tasks. What do you mean by going against me as soon as you come up?"

"I..." The little girl wanted to refute but found that she couldn't find a reason at all. She had no choice but to be stuck there and didn't know how to explain.

I did not give her too much time to think, but changed my previous polite tone and ordered in a very serious tone: "Member Violet, as the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, I now officially order you to accept the special investigation mission. Member Break While commanding the fleet, Wang discovered a pair of suspicious transport ships. After they docked, you must find a way to investigate what was on the ship, the identity of the shipper and receiver, and all other relevant information. Let me know everything you can find out. You are responsible for the specific combat arrangements and you choose the personnel yourself. Before the end of the mission, you will be led by King Chuang. You can also ask him for specific mission information. Is the order clear? Or are you going to refuse to carry out the order?"

"No, the order is accepted, I will make arrangements right away." After saying this, Violet immediately turned around and went to gather the people.

After watching her leave, I said to King Chuang, "Are you following people around like a bitch all day long?"

"I didn't!" King Chuang argued depressedly: "It's not like you don't know that I am at sea every day, but she is from the land warfare command department. We can't reach it at all, okay? As for the bitch you are talking about Is that too exaggerated? I'm just being gentle to her, so you don't have to call me a bitch, right?"

"It's not me, but she thinks so." I looked at the depressed King Chuang and said, "You are a fan of the authorities. You can see the situation clearly from my perspective. Violet is not at all That kind of ordinary girl, she is too smart and has a strong personality. Just now she dared to directly challenge me, a highly prestigious and powerful guild leader, you can imagine what she is like Her character. For a girl like her, it's useless for you to beg her for protection in a low voice. No, I was wrong. It's not that it's useless, but it will have the opposite effect. The gentler you are to her The more considerate you are, the more useless she will think you are and how cheap you are."

"Isn't it?" After hearing my words, King Chuang's face turned into a big 'embarrassment'. "I asked why her attitude towards me is getting worse and worse now!"

"If you continue to pursue her like this, sooner or later she will treat you as a real mangy dog."

"then what do I do?"

"Reverse all the behavior you did before."

"Upside down?" King Chuang looked at me in surprise, not understanding how to do this.

I couldn't help but knock him and said: "You don't understand this? Listen. From now on, don't show any special tendency towards her. Treat her as an ordinary subordinate of yours. No, don't treat her as an ordinary subordinate." A subordinate, but as a subordinate you don’t like very much.”

"What do you mean by a subordinate you don't like?"

"Let her do the hardest and most tiring work. Don't praise her too much if she does a good job, and scold her if she does something wrong."

"Isn't that teasing people?"

"I didn't ask you to deliberately cause trouble for her. She didn't do anything wrong and you wouldn't say anything to her. Praise is still praise, and criticism is still criticism. It's just that the reward is reduced and the punishment is doubled. Also, it's okay to have regular contact with her. Don't be so mean. You are her superior and not her follower. Why are you being polite to her? Just show her the murderous spirit you had when commanding fleet battles and show her your normal face. If there is an emergency, Just yell at her.”

"Isn't that right, boss? I don't even want to give in to others now. If I treat her like this again, won't she treat me as a class enemy?"

"Don't you understand this?" I said with a smile: "People are different. It's absolutely right to use your gentle offensive to deal with ordinary girls, but to deal with a woman like Violet who has a strong character She must not be too gentle. What she wants is not a little man, but a hero who can conquer her."

Upon hearing this, King Chuang immediately jumped up and shouted: "Haha, I understand. That's what I'll do."

"You understand what you understand? I haven't finished yet. I want you to show your heroic spirit in front of her, not to turn yourself into Zhang Butcher. Although you want to be indifferent to her on the surface, you must never Don't really be cold to her. First of all, you must increase the probability of showing up around her. Although you can have a bad attitude towards her, you should show up around her from time to time to make her notice you. Also, you can train her. , you can be cruel to her, but you must pay attention to one situation. As long as she refuses to admit defeat and confronts you, you have to be tougher than her, but once she breaks down, for example, she is scolded and cried by you, you should show your gentle side. It's time. But note that gentleness does not mean meanness. As long as you are a little gentler, such as handing her a handkerchief or something, it will be fine. Don't coax her for a long time. At most, you can say one or two words to comfort her, and then leave. Don’t stick to her side.”

"Be kind and powerful at the same time, I understand this."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go and take her away quickly. Remember to be more aggressive."

"learn."

After sending King Chuang away, I just turned around and found Rose looking at me with a strange smile on her face, which made me feel scared.

"I didn't expect that you have a lot of experience in this field?" Rose asked in a deliberately sinister tone.

I quickly hugged Rose and said: "Oh, my wife is so smart, how could she be deceived by my little trick? I learned all this from you! You are so smart, and as time goes by, I Naturally, I learned a lot!"

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to argue with you." After Rose said this, she handed me a crystal ball.

I took it and injected a small amount of magic power to see what was going on inside and asked, "What is this?"

"The latest achievement of the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute, but this is not what we originally planned to study. It is purely a by-product. The function is..."

"Needless to say, I understand!"

While Rose was preparing to explain the purpose of this thing, I had already tried out its function. In fact, the function of this thing is very simple, it is nothing more than a rechargeable magic battery. When your own magic power is sufficient, you can use your own magic power to charge this crystal ball just like releasing magic. Anyway, when the magic power is full, you can no longer accumulate it. It is more cost-effective to charge it into this crystal ball than to waste it. Moreover, when you are short of magic power in battle, you can absorb the magic power in the crystal ball to quickly replenish your magic value. This is equivalent to increasing the upper limit of magic power. Its function is basically similar to the function of my equipment called magic ball. , but there are some differences in details.

My magic ball is a high-level equipment manufactured by the system, and this crystal ball is a self-produced equipment by the guild. The magic ball's storage capacity is not fixed, but the magic storage capacity of this crystal ball is a fixed value. My magic ball can store up to ten times the user's total magic power, depending on the user. However, the storage capacity of this crystal ball is only less than one-tenth of my total magic power for me. However, although it seems that the reserve of magic balls is relatively high, crystal balls can be mass-produced, so the problem of storage limit is not obvious. At most, you can just carry a few more with you.

In addition, the replenishment efficiency of my magic ball is obviously much higher than that of this crystal ball. When the magic ball replenishes its magic power, it is replenished at a rate of ten to one. That is, it consumes ten points of my own magic power, and the magic power in the magic ball increases by one point. However, the replenishment ratio of the crystal ball is one-twentieth. The replenishment efficiency is Only half of the magic ball. But this is not the point. The point is that the replenishment and extraction of the magic ball are seamless, that is, when my magic value is full, it will automatically start to replenish it, and I do not need to care about it. When I use magic, The magic power in the magic ball will be consumed first, and there is no gap in between, so there is no need to do it yourself. But the crystal ball is different. It will not charge automatically. The user must actively input magic power into it, and the input takes time. It does not mean that it will be completed immediately after you 'touch' it, but it must be filled according to the magic power. Quantities consume varying amounts of time. It takes about a minute for the crystal ball in my hand to be completely filled. Moreover, even if the magic ball is full, it will not automatically replenish the user's magic power after the user consumes it. Instead, the user must absorb it manually, and the absorption speed is exactly the same as the filling speed. In other words, as long as it takes you to fill a crystal ball, it will take the same amount of time to suck the magic out of it. From this point of view, this crystal ball is actually not suitable for recovering demons in battle. After all, there is generally no time for you to stop and recover demons on the battlefield. In contrast, magic-recovering medicines that won't affect the battle as long as they are thrown into the mouth may be more useful.

Although the purpose of this magic crystal ball is a bit terrible, I am still quite satisfied with this thing. In any case, it can at least replace some of the functions of medicines. Although it is not suitable for use in battle, if there are many people on your side, it is also a good way to take turns to withdraw from the battle circle to replenish magic during the battle. In addition, I think if it is on the battlefield, this thing has a wide range of uses. For example, when the mage group uses large-scale combined spells, this thing can come in handy. Generally, when using large-scale joint spells, the distance between the mage and the battlefield is very far, so the mage's own safety does not have to worry at all. As long as a spell is released, the mage can safely absorb the magic power in the crystal ball and quickly recover the magic power. The release of the next spell. Although this crystal ball requires human operation to absorb magic, its recovery speed is still very fast. At least compared to medicine, its recovery rate of magic value per unit time is much faster. However, medicine does not require anyone to spend time preparing it, so it is more suitable for use in combat. In addition, I think the biggest advantage of this thing is actually saving money.

No matter what medicine it is, it costs money. Using medicine to restore magic requires constant spending, and the magic power in the crystal ball is the excess magic power that players charge into when they are not fighting. Except for the cost of the crystal ball itself, the magic power is completely free. Every player can save a lot of money when leveling up, and the cost of medicines we need to reimburse in guild battles can also be reduced a lot.

"How much does this thing cost?"

"I guarantee you can't guess it." Rose said with a proud smile.

"Is it very cheap?" With Rose's money-obsessed character, she can be so proud. This thing must be cheap beyond imagination.

Sure enough, after hearing my question, Rose immediately answered with a smile: "Of course, the raw material of this thing is scrapped white magic crystal. In our guild, these things are measured in tons. Even if some projects can consume some, but The demand is very small, and it is not proportional to the amount we produce every day. Now, all the excess scrapped white magic crystal can be used to produce this, and we only need to spend some processing fees."

"Then how much does it cost exactly?"
