Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 1 Millennium Fire Lotus (1)
There is nothing perfect or unchanging in the world, and the same is true in virtual games. The system needs to constantly make reasonable modifications in response to new developments and changes in order to make "Tianxia" run more perfectly. Compared with the initial establishment of Tongxin League, the current mercenary group's resident area has expanded many times, not only because the level has developed from a small one with hundreds of people to a medium one with thousands of people or even a large one with tens of thousands of people, which needs to accommodate more players to live in. At the same time, as the player's level increases, the size of the pets they own is getting bigger and bigger, and the number is also increasing, requiring more space for them to move and fight. In addition to the "publicly approved" land, the Mercenary Guild also allows mercenary groups to invest in a certain proportion of the "public land" bordering the resident area, which means that as long as they have sufficient financial resources, the resident area of any mercenary group can be further expanded to meet their requirements for resident defense as much as possible. Especially for the most important central meeting hall, in order to facilitate defense, after the system update, the "internal space expansion technology" is used, and the usable area inside is much larger than its actual floor area. Take "Green Leaf" as an example. From the outside, the area of the central meeting hall is only more than 1,000 square meters, but once you enter, you will find that its internal space is at least 50,000 square meters, enough to accommodate hundreds of players to fight. Of course, you can also choose to use the "internal space expansion technology" in other buildings in the garrison, but you need to pay a high fee, which is far less cost-effective than directly applying to the mercenary guild to purchase land. Unless the garrison area has expanded to the limit required by the system and cannot be expanded further, you will choose to use this technology to strengthen the defense of the garrison.
As the scope of players' activities becomes wider and wider, in order to avoid wasting too much time on long journeys, the system has also modified some rules and added a new "walking" state - if the purpose is simply to hurry on, without being harassed by the outside world, the player can always maintain the maximum movement speed that he can achieve, and only consume very little physical strength. However, being in the "walking" state will affect the perception and reaction to changes in the outside world. Once a sneak attack is encountered, it will be difficult to avoid it in time, and it is not suitable for use in dangerous areas.
Although five mercenary groups were destroyed in one day, three places were vacated in the Eastern Continent. However, Long Xing Tianxia was contacted. He did not intend to sell the "Da Qian Shi Jie" station, intending to establish a "sub-mercenary group" affiliated with Long Teng. Qiu Shui Changtian also seemed to have no intention of selling the "Xin Xin Ren" station for the time being . I don't know if he has the same idea as Long Xing Tianxia, which makes those forces who want to take the opportunity to "start an uprising" and establish a new mercenary group disappointed. For such a situation, our Tongxin League is naturally the happiest - its own development is still quite difficult, and there is not enough manpower and financial resources to hope to form a "sub-mercenary group". Originally, there were some concerns that there were multiple mercenary group indicators for transfer at the same time, and they might not be able to sell them at a good price under mutual bidding. Now there is only the "Green Leaf" station for auction in the market of the Eastern Continent, and it is the turn of those buyers to bid against each other.
The auction of the mercenary group is a huge transaction. For this reason, the "Beijing Exchange" that took charge of this matter held a special auction to sell the "Green Leaf" mercenary group indicators. After a fierce competition, it was finally sold for 1.25 million gold coins. After deducting the 10% handling fee of the exchange, our Tongxin League netted 1.125 million gold coins, raising a large amount of funds for future development, which can be used to invite experts to join and replace more advanced equipment. It should be able to further enhance the strength of Tongxin League and become a veritable "Top Ten Mercenary Groups in the World".
As the strongest fighter of Tongxin League, I am naturally one of the beneficiaries of the equipment replacement. However, in order to remove the first seal of the "Dead Scepter", I had to give up my rights in this regard and use that part of the funds as a subsidy. Tongxin League will help me kill the remaining four sacred beasts. Although being killed by a sacred beast will not reduce experience or drop equipment, the long journey to the habitat of the sacred beast and the six hours of staying in the "Resurrection Corridor" due to death will inevitably affect the development of the players participating in the action. Therefore, according to the regulations of Tongxin League, in line with the principle of "fairness and rationality", similar actions need to pay participants a certain amount of remuneration. In addition, in order to increase the success rate of killing the sacred beast, it is also necessary to purchase some auxiliary props to set traps, etc., and invest a lot of money. These expenses are naturally "public funds". Unless I am willing to invest personally, it is impossible to ask Tongxin League to help me unconditionally regardless of cost.
After the "dark" period, since I successfully wiped out "Green Leaf", I seemed to have the sign of "getting lucky" again. Longteng organized an action to challenge the dark sacred beast Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor. The person in charge, Bai Yunjian, informed me that I could act with the team. Fortunately, I killed the Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor, so I collected its soul as I wished, saving a lot of trouble. However, the remaining three sacred beasts, the Golden Dragon, the Black Tortoise and the Great Demon, are all tough characters . Usually, the "treasure hunting group" will not choose to provoke them, so I can only rely on the help of the Tongxin League.
But the situation in the "Dead Soul Space" is not very good. According to the ultimatum of Hades, the qualification to soak in the "Hell Magma Pool" will begin again in one month, that is, on June 1st. According to the news sent back by Khufu, Taotao and others, there are a few new volcanic undead wandering around on the "Hell Volcano". They have the intention of "monitoring" the activities of our personnel and often appear in front of people, which is quite "showy". These guys include the leader of the black warriors and the terrifying fire crab knights... Each of them is not weak, and should be above Hades and others. It is estimated that they are at least at the level of Tongbi Fire Corpse Demon Tudu. It is very likely that they are Hades's "private soldiers" who usually hide and intend to deal with us during the "qualification battle". They are "displayed" so early, obviously with the intention of "intimidating" those volcanic undead, "warning" them not to choose to surrender to us, so that we will be "isolated" and unable to find other volcanic undead to join us.
