Just today, the [Elasia Royal Logistics Countermeasures Team] was officially established!
The team leader is the well-known master player Qi Ge.
The team members are composed of 100 top players of [business simulation games] carefully selected from major guilds in [Elasia].
The main task of the countermeasures team is to help Queen Catherine deal with state affairs from all over Erathia and formulate a development path suitable for Erathia.
At this time, Qi Ge and Queen Catherine were listening carefully to the analysis results that the countermeasures team had summarized after three hours.
“Great God of the Seven Pigeons, Your Majesty the Queen.
According to the intelligence we have integrated from the major guilds.
The biggest problem facing Erathia right now is that the additional gold coins brought by [Blade of Renaissance] cannot enter Erathia's economic cycle.
The effect of the Blade of Renaissance is to allow the hero to obtain the auxiliary skills [Advanced Financial Management] and [Advanced Agriculture].
Renaissance Blade only works on heroes.
In Erathia, the gap between the number of NPC heroes and the number of players is too huge.
Therefore, most of the gains brought by [Blade of Rebirth] actually fall into the hands of the players.
It can be said that we, the players, are the engine of Erathia's revival.
Let’s talk about financial management first.
Advanced financial management skills allow the hero to obtain (250 + 15 × hero level) gold coins every day.
Based on the current average player level of 20, that's 550 gold coins per day.
550 a day, 3850 a week, 15400 a month!
If so many gold coins were just placed in the players' backpacks and not circulated in Erathia and converted into actual productivity, then these gold coins would simply be meaningless data.
This is a waste, a sin, and a social injustice!
How can players have so many coins? Once they have coins, they won't think about working hard to earn them.
Then their enthusiasm for fighting monsters and completing tasks will decrease.
Therefore, we must find a way to get these gold coins out.
To this end, we designed the following solutions.
1. Major main cities will issue tasks, requiring players to hand in gold coins to purchase main city contribution points. Based on the contribution points, the main city's heroic soldier recruitment buildings will be opened in sequence from spearmen to cavalry.
This is equivalent to allowing players to spend gold coins to skip the complicated reputation-boosting process.
We can sell the purchase quota of military buildings at a high price, forcing large player guilds to raise funds to purchase them, thereby recovering a large amount of gold coins.
Since the main city's recruitment building has a limited weekly output of troops, player guilds will either be quick or late.
Multiple player guilds spent gold coins to buy places, but only some guilds will get the troops.
But no guild will have any objection to this, they will just criticize other guilds with faster hand speeds and wait patiently for next week.
This move can also stimulate the competitive mentality among guilds, making them spend more money.”
Catherine looked embarrassed:
"Is this... considered a scam? Even though they are chosen by the Yasha God, they are also our people of Erathia. Wouldn't it be bad to cheat them like this?"
The member of the [Countermeasures Team] who was in charge of the introduction pushed up his glasses and answered coldly:
"Of course not. Your Majesty Catherine, we players are all masochists. The more you cheat, the more excited we are."
Seven Pigeons: ...
How cruel! The Dogecoins of this countermeasure team are really cruel when it comes to cheating their own people.
“Option two, this option is to combine it with another auxiliary skill, advanced agriculture.
The total food output of the hero's territory is increased by 30%. When harvesting food in batches, there is a chance of a bumper harvest or a very bumper harvest.
The effects of advanced agriculture require the hero to have a territory to take effect.
But now, most players do not have territories, which is a huge waste of player resources.
To this end, we can adopt the option of renting villages.
First of all, according to our intelligence, given the same area, the grain output of the village is higher than that of the main city.
Because cities need territory to construct some buildings that do not produce food.
The main territory of most villages is farmland that can produce food.
Secondly, the [City Building Order] in the Heroes World is a scarce resource, and it takes a lot of time for players to get their own city.
Without territory, players will not be able to break through the building limit of the initial buildings and build more military buildings.
Renting a village can solve this problem.
With only 500 gold coins a day, individual players can obtain a village as their own territory.
After having their own territory, players will naturally develop and build the territory and absorb NPCs and other players.
In this way, the food output of the village can be increased, players can build more military buildings to quickly improve their strength, and Erathia can also collect gold coins for development.
A win-win-win situation.
Once players successfully obtain the city-building order and build their own city, the village panel buildings they build for the village cannot be taken away and will remain in the village.
Erathia has nothing to lose. Perfect.”
Catherine was a little confused:
"Wait, in this case, wouldn't the Yasha Chosen have wasted a lot of gold coins and gained nothing?"
The representative of the countermeasures team smiled politely and replied calmly:
"No, Your Majesty, you are wrong. Although they lost the gold coins, they gained happiness.
Is there anything more precious than happiness? "
Seven Pigeons: ...
Catherine: …
Catherine leaned close to Qi Ge's ear with doubt and asked in a low voice:
"Are they always so cruel when they cheat people?"
Qi Ge replied quietly: "Your Majesty, they have restrained themselves a lot."
Qi Ge is not talking nonsense. Just by quoting some of the comments of these business simulation players, you can see how inhuman they are.
1. I go to war not for justice, survival, resources, territory, trade, to divert domestic attention, or even for ambition and aggression.
It’s just that my reserve manpower is full, and I need to kill a wave of cannon fodder, so I just find someone to fight, and see whether I win or not, the main purpose is to free up population.
2. I collect 95% of the taxes and they want to rebel. Do you know what that means?
This means that they can support enough soldiers to rebel with just 5% of their income.
This is a terrible thing, so I have to raise the tax rate to 100% to completely eliminate the possibility of them rebelling.
3. Some people say that completely exterminating intelligent life while preserving inanimate matter is an unjustifiable war crime. We call it efficiency.
After a long period of mental struggle, Catherine finally had to admit that although the strategies provided by these chosen gods of Yasha were inhumane, they were extremely effective.
The bottom line is meant to be broken.
Afterwards, the countermeasures team proposed more than a dozen plans in succession.
As the group that understands the players best, they will not use violence or other methods to force the players to hand over their gold coins. That method is too slow and too stupid, and will also provoke the players' rebellious psychology.
They are well versed in the weaknesses of human nature, and every move they make is to help players gain more fun in the game while robbing players of their gold coins.
Qi Ge watched as Catherine accepted the players' opinions and prepared to implement them, and silently prayed for the players of Erathia in her heart.
For these players, it is hard to tell whether the emergence of Blade of Renaissance is a blessing or a curse.
Qi Ge had a hunch that in front of this group of "countermeasures teams that Satan would have to give way to", the player group of Erathia would likely become the group of players with the highest daily gold coin income but the poorest.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, this has nothing to do with me, I'm just an organizer who doesn't have much say.
Michael bless you, Amen..."
In any case, Catherine was very satisfied with the performance of the Chosen Ones of Yasha, and she happily chose to let them go.
At this point, the three fastest people were finally successfully brought together by seven pigeons.
Soon after, good news came from Aged.
He successfully bought the Traveler's Ring and was sending it back to the Chosen City.
So, the Silver Spirit set sail, carrying the Seven Pigeons and their companions back to the God's Chosen City.
It is worth mentioning that at Smith’s strong request, Qi Ge took Smith back.
Although the God's Chosen City is not as safe as the Cloud City, the God's Chosen City also has a level 1, rank 9 mythical soldier like Milora as Smith's super bodyguard. In theory, there won't be much risk.
…
…
The three fastest people arrived at the God-Chosen City and started communicating immediately.
Sir Mlak is an expert at using his own spiritual energy to influence his soldiers, allowing them to move faster.
Ceri is skilled in using magic to reduce the weight of soldiers.
Trok is good at using battle cries to stimulate the physical potential of soldiers.
They discussed each other's experience and understanding of speed, and the conversation was very lively.
When Qi Ge finished the synthesis task and arrived with the [Windrunner Gloves], they had even begun to deeply deduce their respective rules.
Windrunner Fists
Equipment location: gloves
Effect: All friendly soldiers' movement speed +5 in battle
Special skill: At the beginning of the battle, release attack acceleration (advanced) to all friendly soldiers, which lasts for 50 rounds. This effect cannot be covered or dispelled by magic below the demigod level.
All friendly troops are immune to deceleration effects. 】
Qi Ge arrived at the right time, so he simply sat aside and listened carefully to the discussion of the three legends.
Sir Mlak, who had already started the road to the sky, spoke first:
“I believe that the speed rule should not only apply to troops on the march and in battle.
My path to becoming a demigod is to try to help the arms grow faster, that is, to speed up the growth of the arms.
Ever since I started my journey to becoming a demigod, I have been conducting research combining the training techniques I have mastered, trying to create a completely new auxiliary skill.
In my imagination, the effect of this auxiliary skill is to help soldiers gain more experience in battle."
Seri looked at Mlak with appreciation and said:
"Amazing! The young are formidable. I became a legend decades earlier than you, but I have been stuck at the legend level and have not made any progress.
This is the difference in talent.
I have always had the feeling that to break through myself, I need to expand the concept of speed rules, but I can never find how to start. "
Trok stroked his chin, frowned and said:
"The three of us have just experimented with this. Although our methods of accelerating our troops are different, the effects we can ultimately achieve are similar.
We may have reached the limit of simply accelerating.
If you want to continue to make breakthroughs, you may have to do the same as Sir and continue to expand the concept of speed."
Seeing the three people lost in thought, Qi Ge immediately stepped forward and handed them the [Windrunner Gloves].
"Your Majesty, I got the gloves back."
"Oh, I really put it together for you."
Seri smiled and took the [Windrunner Gloves] from Qi Ge's hand and felt it carefully.
She opened her eyes and said thoughtfully:
"In addition to the rules for speeding up, the Wind Walker gloves also have rules for immunity to slowing down.
Is this telling us that not being slow is also a kind of fast? "
Trok took the Wind Walker gloves, felt them for a while, and suggested:
“Well, the acceleration effect of the Wind Walker Gloves can be combined with my acceleration rules.
How about we combine the three of us, plus the Wind Walker Gloves, and superimpose all four accelerations onto one soldier to see how fast it will be? "
“Good idea.”
"That sounds interesting."
When Qi Ge heard this, he immediately became excited.
“Come on, put it all on me.
When I ride on my partner, my speed can reach 50 points. "
So the four of them started trying immediately.
Windrunner's Gloves +5, Sir Mlak +10, Seri's attack speed +15, Trok's speed-up battle cry +13.
The four accelerations combined increased Ziyuan's movement speed to 93 points!
Shion flew a circle in the air with the seven pigeons, and then slowly landed.
Qi Ge shook his head and said with some disappointment:
"Apart from being fast, there isn't much of an effect."
Trok frowned sadly and muttered:
"Could it be that it's not fast enough?"
"No, it's fast enough."
Seven Pigeons said:
“The acceleration of the three Your Majesties will have an effect on all of our troops.
Adding the Windrunner Gauntlets, the total movement speed of the soldiers can be increased by +43. Even peasants can run faster than the Phoenix with such a blessing. "
Sir Mlak stroked his chin and asked Qi Ge:
"Qi Ge, you have a sharp mind. What do you think is the future of speed rules?"
Qi Ge blinked and said:
"Actually, I do have an immature idea."
"oh?"
The three people looked at Qi Ge at the same time, their eyes full of curiosity.
Qi Ge said seriously:
“I’ve actually been thinking about a question.
In our battle space, a peasant with a movement speed of 1 can act once per turn.
The Phoenix, with a maximum of 52 points, can only act once per round.
It seems that speed is just a concept to describe the distance a soldier moves.
But I think the speed shouldn't be like this, or rather, the speed shouldn't stop here.
I swing my sword ten times faster than you do, so it should be reasonable that I can swing ten times in the same time you need to swing one. "
When Seri, Mlak and Trok heard what Qi Ge said, their eyes lit up at the same time.
"The speed... the number of moves... interesting, very interesting.
Qi Ge, you are right. Speed ​​should not be limited to the distance traveled. The concept of speed should be more noble and more useful."
"No, it's not just speed. It should be a branch of speed, yes, it should be velocity, speed and attack frequency.
If we can add an attribute that determines the number of times a soldier can act in addition to the various basic attributes, then we will have hope of becoming not only a demigod, but also a god."
"But the attributes of the troops are the rules set by the Mother Goddess. Is there any hope for us to change them?"
“Why not, have you forgotten how the Goddess of Peace was deified?
The battle space can be changed, so why can't the basic attributes be changed?"
The clouds parted to reveal the blue sky.
Qi Ge's words seemed to open a new door, and the three legends became excited.
"This is worth our careful discussion!"
