Chapter 511 59 Modified Caught Up!
"It's over, the 59th modification is catching up (crying voice)!"
Although the employers have offered very tempting high prices, you have to live to spend the money.
At the beginning, there were still bold bandits who went to the tiger mountain, but after being plowed by the heavy firepower of various countries, no one dared to take the job anymore.
And they are bandits after all, so even if the local lords were hit by artillery, they couldn't say anything.
Even for the dignity of the nobles, they lost commissions and lost manpower, and they had to publicly thank the pioneers for their anti-bandit actions.
Player: Suppress laughter.
Now that Blackwater has Lao Changge for literature and Pioneers for military, it is really difficult for Eleanor not to develop.
No wonder she signed various cooperation agreements with players so readily, how could she not be? It is already difficult for her to get help from the Radiance, and she would rather be tied to the Pioneers.
Of course, players may choose which NPC to help purely because of their personal preferences, but officials of various countries will not.
The reason why they all invested in Blackwater Territory and built infrastructure was because it was the only noble territory willing to accept them after leaving the capital.
That's right, unlike the cowardly South Territory, the chaotic West Territory, and the contradictory capital, the nobles in the East Territory and the North Territory are also insects, but at least they are very united in xenophobia.
After all, there is only so much food on the table. If others eat more, they have to eat less, so everyone hopes that the number of nobles on the table is as small as possible, at least no one wants more.
Especially the pioneers, although they didn't say it clearly, but they obviously have a lot of opinions about the noble masters, and they are even more disgusting!
So if the southern nobles were forced to cooperate and the royal capital nobles were selectively cooperating, the nobles in the East Territory and the North Territory...
"Woof woof woof woof!"
Just like a dog guarding food, holding its own puppy bowl that doesn't even have three dishes, it clamors not to let others get on the table.
So compared to them, Eleanor, who was excluded to the point of being desperate, not only allowed pioneers to enter Blackwater Territory, but also allowed them to invest in factories and establish industries, and suddenly became taller.
There is nothing to say, money is something that will eventually be earned by smart people, so everyone will return the favor, so countries are willing to sell even automatic weapons to Eleanor, not to mention infrastructure projects.
Therefore, when the nobles in the capital were still secretly contacting several pioneer representatives and trying to get more USPs, Eleanor already had the happy trouble of whether to buy AK or M4.
As a result, Blackwater Territory became the largest settlement of players in the Glowing Territory, and even had the reputation of "the fourth novice village".
"Wow, the status has suddenly been raised to the same level as the underground space, Sunshine City and Savage Forest..."
Eleanor talked about a lot of things in one breath, so that Ji Ming only found a chance to interrupt until now.
Well, you can't just chat with the young ones, you have to care for the elderly.
"Well, that's how it is, I see. That, actually, I wanted to ask just now, where is the archbishop now?"
"Oh, right.jpg, the teacher is currently..."
Since Blackwater Territory is made up of four noble territories, there must have been more than one Holy Light Church before.
However, after decades of big rot, most of them have become old and dangerous buildings.
Including the Earl's Cathedral, which should be able to station bishop-level cadres, it is also entirely dependent on subsidies from superiors to barely make a living.
Therefore, as the archbishop, Tenis could not sit idly by, so he used his personal connections to apply for a subsidy from the Vatican.
After a series of assessments by professionals, he simply gave up the renovation plan and built a new one next to the old church in the Earl's Territory.
However, it has just been a while since the architectural drawings were obtained from the designer, and the construction team is busy laying the foundation and repairing the basement that every church has.
"Oh, so you're going to be a supervisor."
The old man is busy, the young man is busy too, and now there are many things to be dealt with in the Blackwater Territory, so Ji Ming is embarrassed to disturb them.
Since he has finished talking to Eleanor about the recent situation and knows the current situation of the archbishop, he is ready to leave here with the old lady.
But before he can leave the room, he is stopped by Eleanor.
"Uh, what's wrong?"
"Ji Ming!"
Eleanor grabbed his sleeves, with a light in her eyes that the relief grain from the court has finally arrived.
"Please help me, I'm almost exhausted from dealing with so many things every day!"
Ji Ming:...
You want to trick me into going to work, right! ?
Attention!
If you choose to find excuses at this time, trying to shirk with excuses such as "I can't, I don't know, I can't do it", then you will lose the initiative!
The way to deal with it with high emotional intelligence is to turn your head and look at the old lady immediately, and speak sincerely.
"Teacher, you have more experience than me, please help her."
That's right! It is better to pass the buck than to shoulder it, and it is better to shift the responsibility than to take it. The old shady turtle is the way to survive forever.
As a result, Bulova just narrowed his eyes and said three words coldly.
"I can't."
After that, he left without looking back.
Well, there is a person who is more powerful than the scapegoat. What do you say about the non-stick pan? The black pot is thrown to him without touching it.
So Ji Ming, who failed to pass the buck, could only look back painfully, and retreat to the next best thing, using the worst strategy.
"Eleanor, I am a scholar from the church. I don't know what you have."
Eleanor was well prepared and answered immediately.
"If you don't know, you can learn. We can make progress together!"
"...Fuck!"
Although Ji Ming has a good emotional intelligence and sufficient IQ, his expertise is all in observing people's words and expressions and the ways of the world.
He has never been a high-ranking official since he was a child. At most, he can only be a class leader. How can he handle these extremely complicated territory affairs?
But seeing that Eleanor said pitifully, he had to agree to "take a look".
As a result, he spent half an hour reading the "Blackwater Knight Equipment Procurement Plan" carefully.
In fact, other places are easy to say, just forming a knight group, there are many cases to refer to, and you can look at the ready-made equipment at will.
But who told Eleanor to have a good relationship with the pioneers and get many exclusive trading channels?
And because of her personal background and experience, she is an absolute supporter of the superior firepower theory + a patient with insufficient firepower phobia.
So she always wondered if she could equip her knights with traditional weapons and some pioneer firearms.
And she looked down on the firepower of simple pistols, whether it was a revolver or a CLOCK18, so she wanted to give the knights something bigger.
Ji Ming certainly had no opinion on this, after all, they were spending their own money, and he, as an outsider, just made suggestions.
So after determining the direction of purchasing other equipment, he hesitated for a moment.
"I think it's better to start with AK. I've seen pioneer cavalry charging with AK-series automatic rifles. As long as they can keep their hands steady, they are really handsome when they fight."
"Yeah."
Eleanor nodded repeatedly and was about to speak, but suddenly reacted.
"Ah? How did you see it?"
Ji Ming: "Ah, this."
Option 1: I remember a documentary I watched before, which showed something similar (X)
Option 2: "I saw it at the foot of Luoshen Mountain before, but I don't know much about guns, so it's possible that I saw it wrong." (√)
"Oh, that's good, since the pioneers also use it this way, let's arrange it according to their equipment."
Seeing Eleanor nod, Ji Ming picked up the "Application for the Development of Horse-drawn Machine Guns and Field Artillery" under the "Procurement Plan".
"Well, then there is this proposal. You see, I can see the problem at a glance."
"This is because you hope that the other party can conduct joint research with you. You are asking them for help, so you can't just talk about your needs, you have to give them..."
Then he fell silent, so he was shocked to find that the things below this application were even more exciting...
Turtle, Eleanor, why are you still thinking about other people's tanks! ?
But Eleanor was listening to him seriously, but he stopped talking halfway and just hung up.
She was so anxious that she hurriedly urged him.
"What do you have to give to the other party?"
"You have to give... uh, you have to know that this is a world full of interests. You have to promise them some benefits, otherwise no one will work for you for nothing."
"Oh, yes, no one will work for others for nothing for no reason..."
Ji Ming just wanted to finish the things in front of him and leave. Since Eleanor didn't say anything else, he continued to read the documents.
Then he found that he had read five documents in one breath and wrote down his suggestions, but Eleanor seemed to be just looking at the ones on hand over and over again.
... Damn, no wonder you want to keep me here, you really want me to work for you, you lazy guy!
Ji Ming was immediately furious. Although he couldn't say anything, he knew who could control Eleanor.
Just as he was about to get up and go to the construction site to find the archbishop who had been transferred to the contractor, he suddenly found that Eleanor's condition seemed to be a little wrong...
He quickly adjusted his sitting position and secretly glanced at her, and found that it was true!
Eleanor, you are peeking at me!
And Eleanor's eyes, which were once as clear as her brain, are gone. Now her eyes are exactly the same as those coquettish bitches in the royal capital!
Ji Ming couldn't help but feel sad and painful, and even the wall of his heart thickened.
[You are thickening it, can you stop pretending to be literary here, can't you see where the problem is? 】
"Oh, why are you so anxious, am I not thinking of a solution?"
Eleanor is the daughter of Princess Mengquan, and naturally has the blood of the Glorious Royal Family, and has inherited the curse that can be simply called dragon disease.
She didn't have any power before, and she was too annoyed to go to the banquet, so this curse was not even worthy of being displayed on the panel.
But now she is the lord of a piece of land, a real princess, powerful enough to deal with multiple forces, so the curse will naturally intensify.
Actually, it was nothing. Eleanor was very ambitious and had a lot of things to do when she first arrived. She suppressed it well with continuous work.
But now with Ji Ming's help, her mind suddenly relaxed. The weather was hot, and she was in the same room with him, a male succubus...
Blois: "Hou Lixie, look! Look! What did I say?"
So Ji Ming sighed.
"Eleanor"
"Uh, huh?"
Eleanor realized that she had been staring at Ji Ming for a long time without realizing it, and quickly lowered her slightly red cheeks to pretend to be reading the documents carefully.
"What's wrong? I'm looking at this, this...ah, it's the other way around."
Ji Ming resisted the urge to turn into a sweaty soybean, and persuaded while lowering his charm.
"It's okay, Eleanor. Our teachers are sisters, so we can barely be considered to be from the same school. I think we can be more honest."
As he said that, Ji Ming put a bottle of rejuvenation liquid on the table and put on a serious expression.
"I'm a doctor. You think your condition is very wrong. Do you feel that there is something strange about you recently?"
Ah, so it's this honesty?
Eleanor couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she still followed Ji Ming's words.
"Strange places..."
She thought for a moment, and her face turned even redder, and she hesitated.
"Uh...I've been reading your writings over and over again when I have nothing to do...does it count?"
What I wrote?
What did I write!
Oh damn, I remember that I never wrote that kind of thing again after I crossed over, what's wrong with you!
Ji Ming was so scared that he quickly flipped through his memory and found...
Luckily, it wasn't "The King of Cybertron Pickups" and "Mr. Social Animal and the Seven Female Giants"
But he did write things for Eleanor, and the number was quite large.
Apart from other things, when he was fighting the evil god church in the territory of Count Fengying, he wrote a whole "secret book" for Eleanor.
After asking the archbishop to send a copy to the church and launch a special attack on the evil god church, it was originally given to Eleanor as a souvenir.
But Eleanor didn't care what Ji Ming was thinking when he didn't speak, and she plucked up the courage to continue whispering.
"And...sometimes I dream...I dream of you, with me..."
[Oh Yeah! Giggity! Giggity! Giggity! 】
This time Ji Ming was really shocked, and he trembled in the noise of the little boss who was watching the fun.
"What did you dream about me?"
"I dreamed that we were in your clinic."
"Clinic? The one in Sunshine City?"
"Yes."
"Then what?"
"You said I was sick and it was urgent, and I had to have surgery right away! So... so... I had to take off my coat."
Ji Ming was so scared that he couldn't speak at all. He could only sit there and listen to Eleanor slowly muttering words.
"I felt very strange and didn't want to, but you know, in a dream, I couldn't control it. I really struggled! But in the end I did it."
"You praised my shirt for being beautiful, and then urged me to lie on the operating table quickly. I definitely didn't want to, but, for some reason, I lay on it immediately!"
Ji Ming:...
"Dian!"
