Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 12 Mercenaries
Chaos Tide.

The tide is about to go out.

Countdown to the closure of Miracle City.

The adventurers were all still not satisfied.

Blackstone Hammer King: "Damn it, the level mode is so difficult. We underestimated the lord's danger!"

The Pig King said: "Yes, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is actually full of evil intentions. We must unite as one and teach him a lesson. We can't let this lord look down on us adventurers!"

"Yes!"

"But I don't have the energy today!"

"I'll come again tomorrow. No matter how long it takes, I won't give up until I clear the level!"

"That's right, we'll fight again tomorrow and we must get our revenge!"

"By the way, the Frenzy Secret Realm was so much fun, and today's harvest was pretty good too!"

"This dungeon is great in every way except that it's too small. I see quite a few people are already discussing it on the forums. I'm worried that if it gets overcrowded tomorrow, we won't even be able to get in. We should ask the lord to expand the dungeon as soon as possible!"

"..."

While the adventurers were discussing.

Suddenly received a prompt.

-

[Ding, trigger the mission! ]

[Mission Name: Territory Development!]

[Mission Description: Miracle City will conduct its first external exploration and plans to recruit 18 mercenaries. Adventurers are welcome to sign up!]

[Task Reward: 5 Contribution Points!]

----

"what?"

"Miracle City has released a territory mission!"

"What? A mere 5 contribution points! So stingy! Are you treating us adventurers like cattle and horses?"

"Everyone, please ignore him and don't encourage this evil trend!"

"That's right."

"Why are you running so fast?"

"Nonsense! How can we grab 18 spots if we don't run fast? As long as we have contribution points, we can definitely enter the city tomorrow!"

"Fuck you, you despicable villain! Take my whirlwind sweep kick!"

"..."

It was Qi Ji's first time issuing a dungeon quest, and the rewards were quite generous. However, within three minutes, dozens of adventurers signed up enthusiastically.

why?
Got contribution points.

You can bid to enter the city tomorrow.

Although 5 contribution points are few, they are enough to squeeze out adventurers with no contribution points!

The passion of an adventurer.

Beyond Qi Ji's expectations.

In the end, 18 adventurers were selected by drawing lots.

This group of adventurers will be transformed into mercenaries in the mercenary camp in the territory, thus becoming the temporary troops of Miracle City. After the chaos tide recedes, they can become the combat force of Miracle City to explore the outside world.

And this will be the territory’s first exploration of the outside world!

This "Dungeon Lord" was Qi Ji's favorite game in his previous life. Although the game content only involved the chaotic world and showed very little about the surface and underground, his ten years of gaming experience and understanding were enough for him to grasp a lot of information in advance.

The local name is "Dark Valley".

He undoubtedly weighed the pros and cons before building the main city here.

The location of the Dark Valley and the surrounding areas are not only particularly suitable for growth and development, but also hide many opportunities that can bring huge benefits if seized in time.

therefore.

External exploration.

The sooner the better!

Qi Ji has 18 "zombie spirits".

A maximum of 18 adventurers can be recruited as temporary workers.

Whether it is temporary mercenaries or training normal soldiers, spirit is an indispensable core material.

However, training regular troops is very expensive!
There are generally two types of regular dungeon troops.

The first method is to directly summon monsters in the corresponding territory by consuming spirits, which requires the basic building "Monster Camp".

The advantage is that it can be summoned at any time, waved around with ease, and can hit whatever you point at. The disadvantage is that it is very expensive to maintain, and the territory monsters themselves are not intelligent, have no growth potential, and cannot perform complex tasks.

The second type is the contracted adventurer, who imprints the territory spirit on the adventurer, allowing him to permanently gain the abilities of the corresponding monsters. This requires the basic buildings "Spirit Altar" and "Warrior Camp".

The advantages are low maintenance costs, growth potential, intelligence, and the ability to perform more complex tasks. The disadvantages are strong personalities, unstable obedience, and adventurers can only bind to and use the power of one dungeon, so it is not easy to gain their complete loyalty.

No matter which kind

It's quite troublesome at the moment.

Qi Ji has no plans to recruit regular troops for the time being.

He has already built a "Mercenary House". He only needs to invest the corresponding spirit, plus "mental power" and "soul crystals" as energy to create corresponding temporary troops for the territory.

Although it is a temporary worker.

But daily use is very convenient.

[You are converting a mercenary. This conversion will consume "Zombie Spirit" x 18, "Spirit" x 90, and "Soul Crystal" x 90. Do you want to continue? Yes/No!]

Each zombie transformation consumes 5 points of mental power and 5 soul crystals.

This transformation can only last for one day, and if there is no death, the soul can be recycled and reused.

Although it is not cheap, it is convenient. Before the establishment of regular troops, this kind of temporary worker is the best choice for expanding territory and exploring the outside world!

Zombie spirit.

Can transform more than a dozen common zombies.

Qi Ji chose the explosion-proof zombie without hesitation.

The performance of different ordinary zombies varies greatly, so the conversion costs are also different, ranging from 2 points of mental power to 5 points of mental power.

"Explosion-proof zombies" are a special type of ordinary zombies.

Although they are not mutated special infected people, they were explosion-proof personnel before being infected. They have a full set of explosion-proof equipment, including explosion-proof helmets, explosion-proof armor, and riot batons. Their performance is very powerful and naturally more expensive.

……

five minutes later.

Eighteen fully armed zombies with ferocious faces walked out of the mercenary hut. Although they were the tallest among the short ones, the eighteen explosion-proof zombies were enough to form a considerable combat force. At least at this stage, they were a strong force!

Pig King: "Fuck, what have you done to me? Am I still a zombie?"

Feng Zhongmian: "It seems that even ordinary zombies can be very powerful!"

Cranky Chicken: "Hahaha, with this equipment and the zombie's stamina, I feel like knocking down five or eight big guys shouldn't be a problem!"

“It’s fun!”

“That’s a bonus!”

"..."

When the tide of chaos completely recedes.

The scene outside Miracle City gradually became clear.

The zombies controlled by the adventurer walked out of the dungeon.

“Wow, is this the underground world near Miracle City?”

Mao Mengmeng is a novice adventurer and has never participated in similar territory activities.

Energy torrents of various colors formed a vortex in the sky, like a crazy and distorted super-magical oil painting.

The terrain is mainly rugged, strange, gloomy and silent forests, with a winding river running through it. The fog in the distance surrounds the land like a dark red curtain.

And at the same time.

Qi Ji is in the lord's mansion.

He opened a clear overhead view through the panel.

This interface is similar to the perspective of a real-time strategy game, like a high-definition drone low-altitude shot, and can also be switched to the first-person perspective of any unit.

Ability to observe actions in real time.

You can also give orders at any time.

According to Qi Ji's understanding of the Dark Valley, there are no high-level monsters nearby, but not far from Miracle City, there is a small village occupied by the dark race.

And that is the goal of this time.

The first battle of the territory is about to begin!
A mature dungeon not only needs to harvest adventurers, but also needs to continuously expand territory to create more secret realms or open up more adventurer city-states.

Although the scale of this battle is not large, as the first step taken by Miracle City, it has very important significance!
