Chapter 260 Free Is the Most Expensive

Luke used his leader authority to make two changes to the Brave Front base.

One was to add a new position of "Guard Captain", which has the second-level authority to mobilize the base guard force mainly composed of cyborg soldiers.

Hayabusa agreed to be a figurehead.

And because Hayabusa served as the guard captain, there were actually significant changes in the cyborg soldiers of the Brave Front.

In the cyborg production list of the "Cyborg Soldier Hive", in addition to the cyborg soldiers who were initially proficient in long-range combat with helmets, armor and beam guns, there were also cyborg soldiers who were proficient in close combat with light outer armor similar to night clothes, initial weapons were beam swords, and dart throwing abilities.

And including the units that can be hired, all the cyborg soldiers in the base have seen a small level increase, and now they are similar to the average level of the fusion dragon beasts, about 26 or 27 levels.

This change was beyond Luke's judgment, but it also gave Luke a hint.

That is, the functional position held by a more capable person may have a greater impact on the subordinate departments, and if Hayabusa no longer serves as the captain of the base guard one day, then the production list of this ninja-type cyborg soldier may no longer exist.

The second change is to modify the use rules of the public storage box loaded with the big box mod, cancel the rental fee of the public storage box in disguise, and directly expand the storage capacity of 10*10 grids, which was originally only available for free, to 100 pages.

Yes, you read it right, it is indeed a full 100 pages of free storage space.

In fact, there are some things that were not mentioned in the previous screen-sweeping message records, that is, in order to maintain the operation of the entire Brave Front Base, a large amount of dark gold coins are consumed every day.

Transformed soldier production, power consumption within the base, equipment damage and repair, etc., all require gold coins.

And the bigger the stall, the more it consumes.

Luke did carry more than 200,000 gold coins with him, and because he had previously traded with profiteers, he also accumulated a lot of gold coins and stored them in the company, so he didn't have to worry about the money consumption at the base in the short term.

But Luke still chose to seek benefits for his family!

... Well, Luke actually thought so, that is, free is the most expensive.

Compared with the pitiful 1 page of 10*10 grid free storage space, Luke thinks that 100 pages will be more attractive.

Considering the high probability of opening the Brave Front Base to the human camp in the future, Luke wants to provide something of "sense of belonging" rather than making money.

So what is a sense of belonging?

When you realize the safety and convenience of the public storage box, you keep storing things in it, and finally store them to the extent that you can't sit back and watch the Brave Front being destroyed, don't you have a sense of belonging...

Of course, Luke doesn't expect anyone to do this at the beginning, but everything develops little by little.

What he is doing now is laying the foundation for the future. The 100 pages of free storage space that everyone can use is just one of the means to gather a sense of belonging.

As for the means of making money, leave it to the merchants and mercenaries.

In order to avoid more meaningless consumption of the already precious city return scroll, Luke decided to set up the fixed teleportation array at the Furnace Company and put it at the city return scroll portal.

Whether it is the Three-Eyed Research Institute or the Furnace Company, there are some spaces inside that can shield Noah's signal. This is tacitly approved by the guild. After all, the company has its own secrets and it is impossible to fully expose them to the guild.

With the rise of the two blue torches on the diagonal of the teleportation array, it also means that the newly set fixed teleportation array on the "Furnace Company" side has been activated.

As long as you stand on it, you can go to any place in the teleportation network at will.

The blue flame is actually a magic flame, which consumes magic crystals, which are things like broken gems.

Although gems are also very precious, Luke has a lot of them, much more than the number of return scrolls.

The reason why they are not circulated in the market is that Luke has not had the habit of selling gems casually since he first played Diablo, especially after he found that the Horadric Cube can synthesize broken gems, he will not sell them at will, just like to accumulate them all for synthesis.

On the other hand, he is afraid that if the price of gems is lowered, someone will cause trouble for him.

With the current size of the Furnace Company, there is naturally no need to be too afraid, but who would cause trouble for themselves~

It was noon on the second day after Luke became the leader of the Brave Front.

Luke and Sanmu's figures directly crossed thousands of kilometers and appeared in the Furnace Company located at the headquarters of the Seven Stars City Guild.

Sanmu is preparing to transfer some sensitive resources to the Brave Front. Things like portable biosynthesizers are indeed not suitable to stay in his own laboratory, and some other more sensitive things also need to be moved.

Luke is preparing to do three things.

Luke trotted all the way to the station's blacksmith shop and easily found his cheap master again.

The giant blacksmith was still the same, sipping the liquor in his huge thermos cup like drinking hot tea.

"Oh~~ Xiaoza, you haven't been here for a while."

The palm as big as a palm fan patted Luke affectionately.

"Hehe, there are a lot of things to do, and I don't have much time. I just saved the world in disguise."

Luke said the "shameless" words with a humble face.

"Hahaha~ Are you going to show off to your cheap master?"

The giant blacksmith, who was very clear about the relationship between himself and Luke, asked happily.

Although Luke didn't take his blacksmith talent seriously at all, the blacksmith saw what he did in other aspects.

Regardless of the purpose and original intention, the furnace company he registered was seeking benefits for the bottom-level heroes, and it really improved the survival rate of the bottom-level heroes.

This is the main reason why the giant blacksmith is still willing to be Luke's cheap master and still register in the furnace company even if Luke wastes his blacksmith talent.

When others say "I just saved the world", the giant blacksmith just listens and passes it by, but when Luke said it, the blacksmith is a little suspicious that it may really be true.

"Then I won't be polite."

So Luke followed the topic and "showed off" to his cheap master.

To put it more directly, Luke came to poach the Seven Stars City Heroes Guild.

He wanted to try and see if he could get the Giant Blacksmith to have a name on the Heroes Front.

Luke didn't hide anything when he spoke. After briefly explaining the matter of "stopping the alien cell carrier rocket", he began to focus on the situation of the base, especially highlighting the treatment device that can regenerate limbs and organs, and his concerns about the defense force of the base.

The old blacksmith, who originally wanted to listen to the story, quickly faded his smile when he heard about the treatment device, and began to become serious.

After Luke finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then he spoke again.

"I want to confirm the authenticity of the treatment device in your place, is that okay?"

"Yes, yes... Master, please don't hurt yourself!"

"Oh? Although it is also a way, my old arms and legs may not be able to withstand such torture."

Luke looked at the giant blacksmith's muscular upper arms that were thicker than his waist without saying a word.

"I have a junior who lost his right arm last year because of fighting against the monster tide. His own drug resistance is a bit high, so the lizard power does not work. He is also unwilling to undergo cyber prosthetic transformation... I will go and tie him up now."

After saying that, without waiting for Luke's response, the giant blacksmith put down the thermos cup and stood up directly, striding towards the door.
