Chapter 381 The Not-So-Black-Hearted Leader
Chapter 381 The Not-So-Black-Hearted Leader
What good stuff! Xiao Jie looked at the two items dropped in front of him and was quite satisfied.
It seems that the small BOSS in Luoyang Plain can also drop good things.
There is no need to introduce the Alvin and the Chipmunks. This kind of magical tool with summoning effect is absolutely rare. The most rare thing is that the summoned rats can also perform reconnaissance. One magical tool has two uses, and its value is definitely not low.
The greatest value of the other crossbow blueprint is that it can be copied and mass-produced into blue equipment. Even if the cost is a little higher, it is still very profitable.
In particular, the equipment requirements of this mechanical crossbow are very low, which is especially suitable for novice players to develop and upgrade. It is definitely a pioneering artifact. If you do it well, you can definitely get a steady stream of benefits.
Put the two dropped items in your pocket and auction them together later. What you need to do next is the familiar routine, occupy the village, clear out the remaining enemies, and then call Xiaobailong to pacify the refugees.
So practice makes perfect. Once you are familiar with the routine, the process of retaking the villages and pacifying the refugees becomes easy.
Of course, we have to give extra points to the team members.
Not many players received extra points this time, mainly because the enemies were too weak and did not have many opportunities to perform. An Ran got 30 points - because he discovered the enemy's true identity in advance and transformed into a giant bear, and defeated the rat demon army with a Bull Demon Earth-Splitting Wave.
The Drunken Swordsman added 20 points for dealing the final blow to the Rat Demon Priest.
The few people who killed the most enemies also got ten points added each.
After some trouble, when the scores were added up, Xiao Bailong arrived with his men. Xiao Jie immediately gave an order and rode non-stop, heading straight for the fourth village.
There is really nothing much to say about the last village. It is another village occupied by the Black Wind Bandits. It is exactly the same as the Black Rock Village, with the same recipe and the same taste.
As usual, I smashed the door with my will, the magic system bombarded the bandits and archers, the knights charged in formation, and the melee surrounded the left and right...
In less than an hour, the fourth village was successfully captured.
Xiao Jie looked at the popularity value. After a day, the popularity value of Longxiang Kingdom in Luoyang Plain had reached 16%.
At this rate, it would take about a week to get the popularity to 100%. However, it still feels a bit slow. A week... would consume almost 1000 spiritual energy points.
I feel like I'm losing out, and the key is that I don't feel like I'm making any profit.
After all, Xiao Jie basically got no experience from fighting this kind of monster force. He could only get some ordinary equipment drops, which was a bit of a benefit, but it always felt a little lacking.
It would be better to speed up.
But Xiao Jie was not in a hurry. There was no pressure now anyway. He could just take it slow if it didn't work out.
"Okay everyone, this is the end of our operation today. Everyone has done a great job. Today's recovery operation can be said to be a great success.
Most importantly, there were no casualties, which is cause for celebration, don’t you think? ”
"Yes, President, congratulations."
"congratulations!"
Everyone agreed, and suddenly someone said loudly: "President, I think this is all your credit. It was only under your wise and powerful command that this went so smoothly. I think you are the biggest contributor to today's operation."
Hey, there is actually such a sensible person? Xiao Jie looked closely and found that the person who said this was an old acquaintance - Dongfang Sheng.
I didn't realize that this kid has so much potential and is worth training.
"Oh, that's a bit too much. Although my command is indeed okay, it is also thanks to everyone's concerted efforts and unity. The credit belongs to everyone. I just played a leading role."
"You can't say that. A train runs fast only because of the locomotive. A good soldier makes a good general. The president is so wise and brave that he can let everyone play to their strengths and specialties. Only then can we have such a smooth operation today. I think it is reasonable to give the president extra points. Otherwise, I feel embarrassed to give him this extra point. Don't you agree?"
"That's right, the president must take the credit first." I, Yu Chengxian, also joined in.
Everyone started to make a noise, and Xiao Jie said in embarrassment: "Oh, you are making it difficult for me. Fine, fine, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I will just give a hundred points. No more."
Everyone? ? ? ?
However, no one raised any objection, because Xiao Jie's command was indeed good.
Secondly, all the core members are other people’s people, and the main contributors are almost all core members.
Third, you dare to offend your leader - do you still want to make progress?
Not only did they not ask any objections, but many sensible people even agreed directly, saying that the president was too modest. Only 100 points was not enough, it should be at least or points...
However, Xiao Jie naturally would not respond. Being a leader also requires a bottom line. 100 points is just right, any more would be really inappropriate.
The scores were calculated quickly.
Xiao Jie was not the top scorer and was not even in the top five.
Ranked first is Deidara, with 160 points. He is the main force in almost every battle. His Five Elements spells are extremely useful when dealing with these low-level monsters, and he ranks first in damage output every time.
The second place went to An Ran, whose several transformations played a crucial role and she scored a total of 140 points.
The third place was Strawberry Coke. His Taoism was very powerful and he played a key role several times, scoring a total of 130 points.
I Want to Become an Immortal ranked fourth, and I could get 30 points every time I smashed the door, and finally got 120 points...
The fifth place is Bai Ze, whose sword-wielding technique has equally amazing group damage. Although he only gets a few extra points each time, he made it this time and finally got 110 points.
The other core members all scored around 100 points.
Ordinary team members also have at least 40 attendance points (+10 points for each village).
After the scores were calculated, it was no surprise that all the core members became score leaders. Xiao Jie was not surprised by this result.
After retaking four villages, we obtained a lot of spoils.
Xiao Jie opened the package. Except for the receipt which had to be exchanged for silver, everything else could be bid for.
1. Golden Bell. 2. Alvin and the Chipmunk. 3. Mechanical Crossbow Blueprint. 4. Magic Seed. 5. Willow Earthbinding Sutra. 6. Human-Tree Transformation Sutra. 7. Shrine. 8. Blue and green equipment dropped by two bandit bosses...
“Alright everyone, let’s start distributing the drops, and everyone who wants to take a picture should prepare their points.
Of course, you can also keep the points and use them to apply for a team to help you complete your career advancement. The specific score price depends on the difficulty of the career you want to advance to.
In line with the principle of maximizing the use of treasures, the bidder must be qualified to use the items they bid for, and cross-professional bidding is not allowed. Okay, let's start bidding. The first item: Intermediate Internal Skill "Golden Bell Cover", the reserve price is 30 points, and those who want it will give it a point. "
An intermediate level martial arts technique would only cost a few dozen taels of silver at the auction house. However, since the Golden Bell Cover is an internal martial art, it is a bit more expensive, costing almost a hundred taels of silver.
For Xiao Jie and others, the intermediate skills are only okay, but for ordinary low-level players, the intermediate skills are already powerful skills.
The key is that internal strength is something that most people can practice, so everyone decisively started to add points.
Soon the score increased to 60 points.
"70 points!" I, who wanted to become an immortal, suddenly raised the price.
Xiao Jie was a little surprised, thinking, aren't you going to shoot the shrine? However, the internal strength of the Golden Bell Cover is very suitable for my career of becoming an immortal.
He thought for a moment and immediately understood my idea of becoming an immortal. Since it is not possible to bid for points across professions, then things like shrines can only be bid for by professions such as prayers to gods and generals of gods.
But there is no such person in the team. As a result, I, Yuchengxian, become the only one who meets the requirements... Well, I didn't expect that this guy is so calculating.
Xiao Jie was quite pleased. Then the low score of Huitou Shrine would be counted as 50 points.
"70 points once, 70 points twice, 70 points three times - deal."
"The second item is Alvin and the Chipmunks (magic weapon). This is a good thing. Not only can it summon a group of mice to help in battle, but it can also detect the terrain and find hidden treasures. The low price is 50 cents. If you want, bid."
"50 points!"
"60 points!"
"70 points!"
As expected, the magic weapon was very popular and several people made bids for it instantly.
"All in - 100 points!" Haomie directly shouted out the three-digit number.
"100 points once, 100 points twice, 100 points three times - deal!"
"The third item is the crossbow blueprint. This is a good thing. Even though it is just a blue item, if you learn the blueprint, you can mass-produce blue items in the future. That is a steady stream of money.
Although the damage of the crossbow is a bit low, as long as it is equipped with good arrows, especially the fire arrows with special effects, the damage will explode. It is definitely a pioneering artifact. It can be said that having this thing is equivalent to buying a money printing machine. Don't miss it if you want to buy it. The low price is 50 points, and you can get it if you want it."
Xiao Jie's shouting really attracted everyone to raise the price crazily.
However, since it was not possible to bid across professions, he was eventually defeated by the mechanical master Handicraft Li with 70 points.
"The fourth item. The magical seed. Oh, this thing is amazing. It's a legendary item, and it's a seed. If you can grow a ginseng fruit tree or a peach tree, it will be a money printing machine.
The low price deserves at least 100 points!
I think that this seed should not be sold. The guild will collect it. Anyone with master-level planting skills can sign up to plant trees. Points can be given as rewards, and the things grown will be regarded as guild property and distributed among the guild."
No one objected to this, mainly because the reserve price was too high and few people were willing to bid. It would be better to grow some fruits when the time comes, and maybe you can get some for yourself.
"The fifth item: Willow Earthbinding Sutra. This one is just so-so, an ordinary second-level magic. The good thing is that it can also be used for magical powers. Anyone who uses magic and magical powers can bid. The lowest price is 50 points. If you want, you can give me the points."
"I'll bet 50." An Ran shouted.
But there is no competition at all.
Among all the people present, only Xiao Jie and An Ran can use witchcraft.
Xiao Jie did not raise the price, and it decisively became An Ran's personal show.
"50 points once, 50 points twice, 50 points three times - deal!"
"The sixth item, the Human-Tree Reincarnation Sutra. A third-level magic technique, low price 60 points, bid if you want!"
An Ran——"I'll give you 60 points!"
Xiao Jie - "Deal!"
An Ran got two skill books in a row, which was a huge gain.
The transaction was completed happily.
An Ran Yi Meng: Thank you.
Xiao Jie is the only competitor here, and Xiao Jie is giving her face by not bidding.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: You’re welcome.
Continue the auction.
"The seventh item - a shrine seat. You can get incense. This item is quite special. Incense is useless to ordinary people. If you want to bid, please look carefully. The reserve price is 50. If you want, bid."
As expected, no one bid.
"50 points all in!" I shouted as I wished to become an immortal.
"50 points once, 50 points twice, 50 points three times - deal."
This is the advantage of having the right to speak, and you can get the best things and the most lucrative benefits within the rules.
If you don't have any shame, you can even take it all. Xiao Jie has played many games and run many G groups before, so he naturally understands these black gold routines. In fact, he is already very restrained.
It's just giving relatives and friends some small benefits within the rules. After all, one should not be too without bottom line. Ordinary members should also be able to get some benefits. Only in this way can the team operate for a long time.
For the next few auctions of blue and green equipment, Xiao Jie's relatives and friends no longer offered points.
These equipments are relatively cheap, only 30 points are needed, and those mediocre players can get a try. No one is competing for the masters in Xiao Jie's team, because they have all fought in guild wars and have all the purple equipments. Who would want to compete for these blue and green equipments?
It's a good equipment for those new members.
The drops were distributed quickly.
Xiao Jie took inventory and found that there were not many things, so most players would not be able to get anything real.
But there is no need to rush, Xiao Jie can naturally satisfy everyone's appetite in other ways.
"Very good, today's activities end here, we will continue tomorrow. If you have points but can't buy anything, don't worry. I will go to exchange the IOU from the state government in a while. Points can be directly exchanged for silver, one point for one tael of silver.
Of course, you can also save it for future job advancement. Okay, now everyone can disband.
If you have free time, you can join the people from Luoyang branch in recruiting refugees. You can get money for recruiting refugees, although it is a little less. In addition, it can also enhance the reputation of Fengyinzhou and Luoyang Town.
I'm going to the state treasury to exchange the IOU. Anyone who wants to watch can come with me."
After all, this was an IOU for one thousand and two taels of silver, so it was understandable that some people were worried and afraid that the leader would embezzle money. Xiao Jie didn't say it too bluntly, but those who wanted to follow naturally didn't mind.
There really were a few people who followed him, but Xiao Jie didn't care and sped all the way to Xiaofeng City.
After speeding all the way, an hour later, Xiao Jie and his group arrived at the gate of the provincial government treasury in Xiaofeng City.
This is a huge militarized building, heavily guarded.
The provincial government treasury is the place where the provincial government’s supplies are distributed, but for players, it also has another use - a warehouse.
Xiao Jie went straight to the treasury official and asked, "Hello, is this the treasury of the provincial government?"
"What can I do for you, brother?"
This is the benefit of having a high reputation. Xiao Jie is highly respected in Fengyinzhou. Those who work for him have to bow and address him as "Brother" when they see him.
"I have an IOU here, and I came to redeem it."
