Chapter 219 The Unknown Movement of Death (1)
Although after some time of battle, most of the assassins were eliminated at the expense of Chen Kai as a terrorist, and the death of Cape Lochmanster caused the remaining assassins to escape. This made the entire town of Berkner finally calm down slightly. Of course, the so-called stability is only temporary, because the meat of the Gem Abyss is too fat.
Chen Kai and his team's foundation in the game is too shallow. Their weak strength is owed to the entire Hansting Empire, the players in the Greater China region, let alone the most powerful aboriginal aristocratic forces in the game. After knowing that the person behind these assassins was the great duke, Chen Kai and his team knew that it would be difficult to completely stabilize the future.
Even though this time, the power of the great duke was almost uprooted from Berkner Town, this was only the exposed part. Who knew how many hidden spies were among the nearly 40,000 indigenous residents of Berkner Town now? Even Chen Kai was worried that there were spies sent by the great nobles among his guards.
Unfortunately, even if Chen Kai was worried, there was no way. First of all, he could trust too few people. After all, when Chen Kai and the others entered the game, they never thought that such a large industry would develop. At this time, everyone knew that the more people, the better, the better, but Chen Kai had no way to establish a trade union. Because he did not establish a knight order in the early stage of the game, and it was too late to establish it now. The large number of indigenous cavalry had already occupied Chen Kai's knight order, and Chen Kai even had to change the name of the soldiers and included the ranks of attendants.
There is no way to establish a Knights, so naturally he cannot recruit players as helpers. Although Chen Kai can recruit players from Berkner Town as soldiers in the form of missions, and even recruit some players as patrol soldiers. However, he has no way to restrain these players in other places, because their relationship with Chen Kai is just a task and interest relationship in the game.
In the game, the most solid relationship between players is friends and family, followed by an organized guild, and finally a loose zero-hour team. The upper level of the entire Berkner Town is basically Chen Kai's adventure team, and then cooperates with some of Hulans' classmates and Su Xinghe's old friends. The total number of people is not more than 100. Although Hulans has a large group of classmates who want to run to Berkner Town, Chen Kai dare not use them. After all, no one knows how many of these people are trying to eat and drink. The combat power of the student army is too difficult to measure.
The most important thing is that most of the positions in Berkner Town are occupied by the indigenous people. Even if the students of Hulans come, there is no place to arrange them. As for the arrangements to act as soldiers, OK! As mentioned earlier, the combat effectiveness of the student army is very problematic. Eight out of the tens of them use non-bloody mode to fight, and the average combat effectiveness can only be calculated at a low level. If it weren't for this, Hulans and the others would not have been attacked by Earl Hugodi.
Five thousand iron cavalry chased like dogs. There are thousands of spell casters in the tens of thousands of players. The combat power formed by these spell casters can completely delay the impact of those cavalry and make the troops recover from the chaos. However, in that battle, the players in the front could not even get a spell casting time for the players behind the players. The shield guards in front collapsed first, and then they were defeated and killed in a mess.
However, Chen Kai is still planning to develop the strength of Berkner Town players and use the power of players to restrain the huge indigenous people in Berkner Town. After all, compared with these indigenous people, Chen Kai is an outsider like most players. Even if they agree that Chen Kai is the master of this territory, loyalty is still a problem. There are only a few thousand people in the entire territory who are truly loyal to Chen Kai, which is because Drake led the army. What makes Chen Kai depressed is that most of the soldiers loyal to him are from bandits and horse thieves, that is, the horse thieves who were surrendered by him are even more loyal to Chen Kai than those veterans who followed Chen Kai to Berkner Town.
This is probably because these veterans are not like those surrendered horse thieves. Once they lose the lord Chen Kai, they will be wanted again, so the veterans are definitely not as loyal to Chen Kai as those horse thieves.
The above is basically considered the internal troubles of Berkner Town. After the Southern Trade Road was roughly completed, commodity trade gradually emerged in Berkner Town, which improved the living standards of the entire town a lot. At least Chen Kai did not have to eat bread and drink broth every day, and the vegetables and fruits on the dining table finally became sufficient. However, the monsters that appeared on the Southern Trade Road from time to time were still the enemies that threatened the trade road. Of course, the greater danger for Chen Kai and others was definitely not those ugly monsters, but the former allies who were peeping at the abyss of gems.
As a close neighbor of Berkner Town, Chen Kai's neighbors are not good things. At least in Chen Kai's opinion, those unfriendly neighbors are better off. For these players who are not good enough to do anything, they will not only drag their feet at critical moments, but also want to stab you in the back, Chen Kai will definitely be deserving of a smile.
If possible, Chen Kai wished to bribe the assassins of the Thieves Guild to kill all the presidents of the Player Guild. When Chen Kai was fighting in the underground world, the presidents of these Player Guild and Chen Kai's enemies wanted to kill Chen Kai in one fell swoop. When Chen Kai killed Count Hugodi, these guys began to run out to grab the fruit of victory. If Chen Kai hadn't completely killed Count Hugodi, they would probably become Chen Kai's subordinates very disgusting, but now Chen Kai feels these guys even more disgusting.
When he was facing the threat of assassination, two player guilds close to his territory suddenly sent troops to approach the borders of the two territories and occupied the territory that originally belonged to Chen Kai little by little. If it weren't for the cavalry troops led by Drake often patrolling outside, perhaps Chen Kai had lost at least hundreds of acres of land when he was unintentionally.
Chen Kai directly asked Drake to fight back in such behavior. Under the crazy crushing of the cavalry troops, those players who originally wanted to take advantage of the game were chased and cried. Of course, Drake was still relatively restrained and did not kill them all. Although some players were killed because of the cavalry attacking Drake, most of them escaped the border and ran back to their territory.
If such a thing only happens once, it would be fine, but it happened one after another in the next time, which made Chen Kai very angry. But he could not send troops across the border to kill the territory of those player guilds, because in the statements of the presidents of these player guilds, those who came to occupy the territory were not the troops in the territory but the idle personnel. For this statement, Chen Kai had no other way except to raise his middle finger and scold those guys for being shameless. Chen Kai even used to kill these idle personnel. When the overwhelming slanderous posts on the Internet appeared, Chen Kai even had the urge to slash people with weapons.
Chen Kai has no way to talk about the Internet. First, he will not take the initiative to defend himself. Second, Chen Kai has never done anything about hiring the water army. Therefore, everyone, including Xu Fei, can only choose to ignore the posts on the Internet and concentrate on dealing with the so-called idle people in the game. Of course, if you rely solely on killing, it will have a serious negative impact on Chen Kai, at least the reputation among players will not be very good. So in the end, Chen Kai came up with a solution that was not a solution, that is, to spend money to hire idle people mentioned by the player president to run to their territory to occupy the territory.
Although in terms of cost, the cost of sending idle people to the neighbors in the north is much lower than that of Chen Kai. However, with Chen Kai's mission of recruiting idle people, the neighbors in the north can't stand it. Because they compete with Chen Kai's financial resources, it is completely because the old birthday boys are suffering from arsenic. As the mining of gem abyss gradually gets on track, and the price of spells and gems in the market is stable, after paying off the debt, Chen Kai's wealth is growing rapidly at a rate of two or three million gold coins per month. This is the pure gold coin income after excluding taxes. While other player territories are still losing money, Chen Kai has completely turned losses into profits. Of course, the previous investment has not been completely filled, but as long as Chen Kai is given a period of time, it is no longer a dream to accumulate tens of millions of gold coins in his pocket.
Even after Chen Kai released the task of recruiting idle people, the gold coins in his vault increased rather than decreased. Because the recruited players did not need to spend much money on Chen Kai, but the players in the north could not bear it, and there was not that much money in their pockets. Because the rewards offered by Chen Kai were almost to make players from their own guilds take the initiative to go to work for Chen Kai, and then grab the territory of their own guilds.
In this case, these player presidents have no other way to go except to beg for mercy in shame. Because according to their own words, these idle people were not sent by them, and Chen Kai was not stupid enough to recruit idle people in the game, but to post and recruit money in reality. Faced with Chen Kai's approach, the presidents of these player guilds could not catch a handle in the game, because Chen Kai did not leave any official credentials in the game. As for posting outside the game, Chen Kai did not give money, it was almost impossible to slander Chen Kai. Because everyone knows that the player lords in Berkner Town are rich and keep their words in mind, the most important thing is that Chen Kai is now a celebrity in reality. At least his game character, Kachen, St. Rapston, and Berkner, is among the top ten players in the ranking of combat power, and such a reputation is far more convincing than those slandered posts.
"Damn it! A bunch of slutty bones!" Looking at the player president who had just left the Lord's Mansion, Chen Kai showed deep contempt, but he knew very well that the other party had just retreated temporarily. The greed for the gem abyss would make them take action again. Chen Kai had no choice but to do so,
"Okay! Don't say it, boss! Who made us have a gem abyss?" Fei Yun sat in the office of the Lord's Mansion. He just rushed back from the underground world this morning. Of course, what he brought back was not only a new batch of purple iron armor, but also Chen Kai's new armor. However, the new armor still looked like the original double-headed lion armor, but a pair of metal wings were added.
In this way, Chen Kai's armor looks like a double-headed lion with wings when it is not assembled. This pair of metal wings is not just decorations. If Chen Kai's fighting spirit is strong enough, it can drive the wings to fight. Unfortunately, all he can do now is to activate the fighting spirit to make the wings open and close, or block in front of him as a shield, and the fighting spirit consumed every time he activates is as huge as three or four hundred points. Such consumption
Chen Kai couldn't bear it. The only good news is probably that these wings that use purple iron to adhere to obsidian blue gold fragments have extremely high defense. At the same time, the color looks very gorgeous. The black and gold obsidian blue gold fragments and purple gold purple iron create a very gorgeous effect. Combined with the extremely exquisite forging technology of the black dwarf, almost every piece of metal feather seems to grow. So when Chen Kai put on this armor, everyone felt that Chen Kai became even more sexy.
The only thing that made Chen Kai dissatisfied was that the amplification attribute of the armor was almost not much different from the original one. It was only because it increased by 2 points in strength and 5 points in agility. The current strength attribute is 40 points, and the endurance value is still increased by 49 points. The agility is 36, and the spirit + 23 points. The additional attribute reduces the consumption of Dou Qi by 20% but has not changed. However, because of the loss of Dou Qi Bead, the original 3,000 Dou Qi defense effect is no longer available. Of course, because the whole set of armor has more blue gold wings, the overall defense is at least several times that of the past.
In the past, the double-headed lion Kai's armor defense was only 400 points. But now it has reached 2,000 points. That is, even if Chen Kai does not use Dou Qi to defend himself, he can easily rely on his armor to resist attacks with damage below 2,000 points, and even the additional impact force of the attack can be absorbed. What's even more terrifying is that when Chen Kai blocked the pair of purple gold ink black wings in front of him, he could even block Su Wan's dragon spear piercing without injury. You should know that Su Wan's dragon spear tip
The profit value is more than 7, but when facing the purple gold wings attached to the obsidian blue gold fragments, there is no way to wear the defense of the pair of wings. Therefore, Chen Kai, who has new armor protection, can be said to be very safe. However, before he was invincible, Chen Kai had to be familiar with the pair of wings, he also had to pay the black dwarf's armor forging model. It was nearly 500 tons of pure white flour, with a price of more than 2,000 gold coins per ton. The combined forging fee of 500 tons is the forging fee of one million gold coins.
This is a very huge sum, and it is not a trivial matter to raise 500 tons of flour. Even if the grain production capacity in the southern region is very strong, it will take a long time to transport more than 500 tons of pure white flour at once. So Chen Kai has paid back some of the debts, and the black dwarves will not accept gold coins on the ground. They even took the initiative to give Chen Kai money to hope that Chen Kai can help them purchase on behalf of others. Unfortunately, no matter how much gold the dwarves give, Chen Kai will not be willing to do this business, because the dwarves give gold bricks instead of gold coins. In the Hansting Empire, gold bricks are worthless. Only gold coins with the imperial casting pattern and legal gold coins issued by other countries have realistic purchasing power.
As for buying weapons and armor as equivalents, Chen Kai had no choice but to buy them. It was nothing he could use to exchange for food himself. But if Chen Kai was asked to be a weapon merchant to buy and sell weapons and equipment, it was probably the first thing that Prime Minister Capello would find Chen Kai. Although there were also black dwarf weapons and equipment for sale in Berkner Town, it was on a small scale. Once weapons and equipment were exchanged for food on a large scale, Chen Kai would never be able to take advantage of it. So even if Chen Kai knew that it would be very profitable to be a black dwarf, he would not dare to do that. He could only sell it little by little and it was in a small batch.
After obtaining the new armor, Chen Kai still did not go out much, because he had no time to go out, and the only thing he could do was stay in the lord's mansion to deal with more and more things. Because of the connection between the north and south trade routes, Berkner Town, as the key to traffic, gradually became important. In less than two months when the trade routes to the southern region were connected, Chen Kai's tolls collected in the southern fortress exceeded 300,000. The toll of ten silver coins per person was definitely not high. In the combined number of players and indigenous business travelers in these two months exceeded 3 million.
From any perspective, the great development of Berkner Town is near. As long as Chen Kai is given a period of time, he will become very rich. Because he can earn a lot of money just by collecting tolls, but unfortunately such days did not last too long. When players are at ease, the system will immediately release some tasks to make players busy, because once players are at ease for too long, they will feel bored, which will reduce the lifespan of the game. This is the reason why most games are constantly updated, because they need to make players constantly feel fresh and retain players. Of course, for the game Ethia, players will always feel that the world is too big and there are many things that have not been discovered, and for Chen Kai and others, things are even more so. The days when counting money and counting are the happiest days, but such days do not last too long.
In fact, Chen Kai has always known that Hugodi territory has never calmed down. First of all, the biggest hidden danger is the huge hole connecting the underground world in Hugodi Old City, and most of the players who stay in Berkner Town are the first place to level up in Hugodi Old City. At the same time, Chen Kai has never relaxed the surveillance of this area, even if he needs to pass through the territory of several player lords to reach Hugodi Old City.
