Chapter 684: Mission Rewards and System Upgrades (Part 2)
When Rhodes and others returned from the Kingdom of Light, it was already two days later. For Rhodes, this time it was a great harvest. Not only did it greatly reduce the face of the Council of Light, but it also weakened its strength. At the same time, it also blackmailed the other party a magical equipment that could almost be regarded as a treasure of the country. It also completed the task and ate Anne again, which was almost a complete trip. Until now, Rhodes still remembered the way when the congressmen of the Kingdom of Light were reluctant to hand over the "guardian of the king" to Anne under the gaze of everyone. The scene at that time was so serious that it was like a defeated country cedes land and paying compensation, full of shame and reluctance. However, for Rhodes, who had always liked to build his own happiness on the pain of others, this was simply the most wonderful comedy.
Anne's actions after taking the "Guardian of the King" were also full of drama. Facing this sacred guardian of the king's artifact, Anne not only did not show any seriousness and seriousness. On the contrary, after she reached out to take the shield, she tapped it with her hand a few times before nodding with satisfaction, then pulled away the extremely heavy gold shield behind her, and stuffed the "Guardian of the King" into it like a sandwich. The members of the Council of Light rolled their eyes and almost fainted.
Although Anne's actions on this shield are casual, this does not mean that "the guardian of the king" is just a "pseudo-artifact" that can replenish majesty at a low level and wait for the game to be updated. As a fantasy-level existence, "the guardian of the king" is like the [Wings of the Longevity] that Rhodes owns, not just physics, but even a existence that combines rules and concepts. But looking at the attributes of this shield, you can know how perverted it is.
[The King's Guardian (Ancient. Fantasy, Bronze) The King has the obligation to protect his people. When darkness comes, it will turn into a sacred fortress, stand on the earth, and exist as the last barrier under the glory]
[The master level or below cannot cause any damage to the holder. The master level or above attack damage decreases by 5% with the holder level, and the maximum is 35%. When the holder suffers fatal damage, he will not die immediately]
[Holy inscriptions of immune curse and toxin attacks, which make the holder have the attribute of divine power when attacking, and the power is increased by 5%]
[The Rule's Watcher is immune to Chaos Attribute Attack, resistance to Rule Attribute +100]
【Eternal equipment cannot be destroyed】
[Equipment is required to be equipped with power attributes above 30]
Such a powerful attribute bonus even Rhodes couldn't help but breathe when he first saw it. Not to mention, the last line [requiring power attributes above 30 to be equipped] has already discouraged Rhodes. In the game, even a berserker with specialized power can't exceed 30. It would be amazing to have more than 20. Even barbarians or even giants, their power is unlikely to exceed 15. Due to bloodline, Rhodes' own power is also very strong. Although the exact value cannot be seen because the seal is not lifted, Rhodes can be sure of his power at present.
After the upgrade, it was only between 15 and 20. If the numbers were not explanatory, then for example, if possible, Rhodes could even lift a light armored tank high. This power was considered very strong on the continent, but he didn't expect that Anne was even more perverted than him. But if you think about it carefully, Anne has always been carrying hundreds of kilograms of pure gold shields in one hand and carrying them everywhere like playing. This was not something that ordinary people could do. If Rhodes hadn't been able to hold them up, he wouldn't have been able to wield the pure gold shields as if they were waving a feather.
The problem between Marlene, Lijie and Anne was solved beyond imagination. Perhaps it was because he had already vented in the spiritual space of the Chaos Inner Demon. Lijie was the first to accept Anne. Marlene was so angry that she was suffocated all the way, but she was said by Anne, "Anne likes the leader but wants to play with the leader. Sister Marlene, don't you like the leader?" She was completely defeated, and finally raised her hand to surrender. This also turned the danger of the fire in the backyard that Rhodes was worried about. Although even if it was Huroud, it was a sensation.
He also has enough confidence to solve this problem, but he is also very clear. Many times, men should not interfere easily in women's affairs. It is best for them to solve it themselves. However, otherwise, if they intervene casually, they may leave a barrier in the hearts of the three of them. Especially when it comes to such problems, no matter which side you stand on, they will offend the other side. If you don't stand on either side, choose fairness and justice, then offend everyone and just hide aside and wait until they resolve the internal conflicts.
But now it looks good.
Thinking of this, Rhode raised his brow and smiled. Then he concentrated. Soon, a system framework and list appeared in front of Rhodes. The names of Rhodes' subordinates were densely filled with the names, but unlike before, there was an additional status bar behind these names this time.
This is exactly the hidden reward system upgrade that Rhodes received after completing his mission. After Rhodes' construction system upgraded, Rhodes gained a feature reputation that he did not expect to unlock.
To be honest, Rhodes was a little surprised when he got this function, because the players in the game did not have a reputation system. They have always been trying to win the reputation of other forces, and they have never heard of any NPC to win the reputation of players. However, now it seems that in this world, his own construction system has also changed. It is obvious that in any case, the current system regards itself as a separate force. With this reputation system, Rhodes can naturally check the loyalty and reputation of his subordinates.
Thinking of this, Rhode stretched out his finger and tapped it lightly. Soon, the entire list was recombined in the form of hierarchical arrangement and presented it to himself. The names of Qilian and Canary and others were not displayed on the list. It is obvious that they are affiliated with the system are not included in this list.
On the list, Rhodes' name is naturally ranked first, and the next one is Anne. She is also the highest level of Rhodes, at the level of level 50 elites. Following are Marlene and Lijie, who are ranked 30 and 40 respectively. Below are Joey, Marfa, and Lando, who are relatively lower than Lijie, with 38, 39 and 37 levels. And the level of the people down is relatively average, most of them are around 35 and 36. This is also the highest level that humans can reach beyond any adventures or equipment. Even if Rhodes train and improve their equipment, their strength is at most the level of level 40 elites, and it is impossible to be higher.
On the contrary, Labis' level is very, very low. Although she is an alchemist, Labis' level is completely the last one under Rhodes's men, and she is only in her early 20s. It can be said that she has no combat power at all.
After owning the reputation system, Rhodes also had a certain understanding of his power.
The loyalty of those members who have followed him from the time of the mercenary group to the present is full, including Shanna, Old Walker and others, their reputation is worshipped. Next, under Rhodes, those mercenaries who had followed Rhodes and fought side by side have mostly respected Rhodes or entered worship. On the contrary, those mercenaries who had not fought with Rhodes have relatively low reputations and are all hovering between respect and reverence. This also includes John's cavalry team. Although John himself respected Rhodes' reputation, most of his cavalry were only respectful.
There is another variant of this reputation system, Rhodes discovered. In the entire reputation system, only Marlene, Lijie and Anne have different titles. Although they are both full-valued, the following is not [worship] but [love]. The reason... everyone understands it.
But...this is just a gift after all.
Rhode moved his eyes and looked in front of him. There, the ten top-level soul cores were lying quietly on the table. The Council of Light did not do anything to these soul cores. After all, compared to the quasi-artifacts of [Guardian of the King], the soul cores are not a valuable thing. However, just look at the dark colors of these soul cores. You can tell that most of these soul cores are probably from devils. It is obvious that although Rhodes’ requirements, the Council of Light still took advantage of a loophole. As we all know, these soul cores with dark power are not very useful. Their greatest use is to summon various devils and perform dark rituals, or to create some equipment and props for dark magic and necromancer. It seems that this is also the Council of Light that wants to disgust Rhodes and deliberately finds him such things.
But unfortunately...Rod asked these soul cores not to be used to create magic props or summoning rituals.
The reason why he made this request was entirely for the purpose of paying for the task.
After completing the task [Between Light and Light], Rhode soon saw the content of the task reward. As described above, from the moment of completing the task, Rhode had already unlocked a Phantom Guard in an extra standard and could be summoned. However, after carefully looking at the task reward, Rhode discovered that this so-called extra standard unlocking is not only as simple as adding a phantom Guard's quota, but more importantly... it provides an additional unlocking method.
The first method, like other Phantom Guards, will unconditionally restore a character most familiar in Rhodes' mind and project it into the real world, just like the little bubble gum and canary, without equipment, but with top strength, it can only be limited to action within the sphere of influence Rhodes owned. This is also the summoning method of ordinary Phantom Guards.
And the other... is, as literally, it is a completely special unlocking method.
This unlocking method requires ten soul cores, and what Rhodes has to do is project a character in his memory on one of the soul cores, and then create a set of summoning cards with it as the center. Then, Rhodes can designate this card as the core core card and realize it. However, this also has its flaws, that is, the card level occupying the core position will be forced to be initialized and needs to be practiced again from level zero. However, the benefit is self-evident that it does not need to act within a fixed sphere of influence like the small bubble gum and canary, but can act in any corner of this continent as you wish.
From this point of view, this core card is more like a player. It can be upgraded, has its own professional talent tree and skill proficiency, can complete tasks, and can move around. More importantly, as a card summoner, it will not die, and even if it is killed, it can be resurrected directly like in the game. In addition to its identity as a summoning card affiliated to Rhodes, it can almost be said that this is completely a player.
In fact, when Rhode saw this special unlocking condition, he immediately chose the latter without hesitation. At present, the territory in Rhodes is not large, and small bubble gum and canary are enough to protect his territory. What's more important is that there are not many residents in Rhodes' territory, and it is relatively convenient to manage. Adding a new Phantom Guard is not very meaningful, but in many places. Rhodes needs a tacit understanding and can partner with him perfectly. Lijie, Marlene and Anne are doing well. But they are not from another world like Rhodes, and they are always inconvenient to communicate. If someone who is familiar with him and can cooperate at any time and anywhere, it is naturally a convenient thing.
Currently under Rhodes, Canary and Little Bubble Gum meet the requirements. However, they cannot leave the territory. Although Qi Lian seems to know these things very well, Rhodes is still in a process of knowing her, and the two sides do not have that tacit understanding. If there is someone who can act as they please and who has a tacit understanding with Rhodes, then that would be great.
As for level initialization? This is not a problem in Rhodes's opinion. Anyway, as a card summoner, the Phantom Guard will never die. Moreover, as a core card in a deck, it can also summon other cards to use. Just like Qi Lian, who is the core of the Red Lotus Battle Card deck, can use the three cards of the same deck: [River of Sulphur], [Seventh Hell] and [Fire Killer]. It is certain that since it is the core of the projection card, the Phantom Guard will definitely have the talented skills and combat skills of his own profession, plus the summoning elves exclusive to summon swordsman, which is almost extremely powerful. Even if it is pulled out to upgrade, Rhodes can be sure that it will be able to level similar to his own.
Currently, among the ten major source qualities of the summoning magic array exclusive to Summon Swordsmen, only Qi Lian occupies the "position of wisdom", and the rest of the cores are vacant. For a long time, Rhodes has not planned to put Selestina or Celia, Grayhill and Madalas into it. After all, even if they are transformed into entities, their help to Rhodes is limited. It is better to maintain the card form and fight at any time like now.
So, who should I choose?
"Dongdong."
Just as Rhode frowned and thought, the knock on the door rang, and then little bubble gum and canary walked in.
"Rod, are you doing anything to us?"
"You guys are here just right."
Seeing Little Bubble Gum and Canary come in, a relaxed expression appeared on Rhode's face. Then he made a gesture to signal the two to sit down. Then Rhode quickly activated the system task and told them about the reward. When he heard what Rhode said, the special unlocking of the Phantom Guard, Little Bubble Gum and Canary couldn't help but lit up his eyes.
"Captain, can you designate us in?"
The first little bubble gum couldn't help but stand up. She clenched her fists and waved them hard.
"I really want to go out for a walk. I always stay here. I don't have a computer, I can't access bilibili, and there are no new episodes to watch. I'm so bored! Even if I squat at home, I can play online games! Ah, if I can go out, I will be the first to go to the Land of Light and let those guys who are looking down on me to taste my power..."
"Bubbles, haven't you heard Rhodes say? We, as already summoned beings, cannot be designated again."
Just as Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum was waving her fists and excitedly fantasizing about the wonderful life after she left here, the canary next to her calmly poured cold water on her head, which made Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum, who was originally excited, pouted in dissatisfaction, and then sat back on the chair.
"I know, big sister, I'm just thinking about it, it's really…..."
Faced with the complaints of little bubble gum, Canary just smiled slightly, then she looked at Rhode and spoke.
"So, Rhodes, what do you think? If you want to help, there are many people in the guild who can help you. Isn't it?"
"It's true."
Hearing Canary's words, Rhode spread his hands helplessly. This is why he asked Canary and Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum to discuss. If he could help Rhode, then there were hundreds of players around Rhode who could help Rhode. At first, Rhode chose Canary and Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum because they cooperated with him the most and were most familiar with each other. In fact, what the two did was really good. The group of people under Rhode could rise at a rocket-like speed, except for O'Neo
In addition to the bonus of the Secret Ball itself, the training of Canary and Little Bubble Gum is also very effective. Whether it is Lijie, Marlene, Anne, Lando, Joey, and even Mafa, they have not received much "training" from them, and they have benefited a lot from it. However, for Rhodes, the instructor only needs these two people. In any case, no matter how strong the indigenous people in this world are, they have a limit. Most of them will never be able to reach the top level in their lifetime. Therefore, there is no need to teach them too complex and exquisite combat skills.
So, what role should the next Phantom Guard play?
"What if you just call the old man?"
Little Bubble Gum sat on the chair, swaying her legs, and at the same time she opened her mouth to propose.
"Isn't Marin short of people? The old man is doing a good job in the guild. How about asking him to help?"
“There is no need for this.”
Rhode shook his head when he heard the little bubble gum's proposal.
"Old Chen is suitable for dealing with players. But his expertise here is not very useful. It is better for Marlin to do it herself, so we can't get it."
As he spoke, Rhode shrugged helplessly. Indeed, as one of the vice presidents of Xingguang, Old Chen has a good popularity in the guild, and he is responsible for many foreign negotiations. However, through his experience in the Dragon Soul Continent, Rhode found that this is completely different from reality. In fact, both him, canary, or small bubble gum have this problem, that is, it is not a habit to rituals, and there are not so many requirements. But Marlin and the aboriginal people are different. This is a world with very strict hierarchy, and each class has each other.
There are different rules and regulations. These requirements are very strict, but for players who only regard the game as a game, they certainly don’t care that bent down and bent down to a low point is considered respect for people rather than offending such boring topics. However, for the indigenous people in this world, this is a very important thing. Therefore, it is better to leave this serious and serious matter to the indigenous people led by Marlene. If you only need to make suggestions, then you can do this task like the canary, and there is no need to waste a valuable summoning place.
"Then "So "Dudu"?"
“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Idiot 9 rabbit."
“…………How did you think of her?”
"Everyone in the group knows that she is interested in you, the leader, just bring her here. Anyway, no one cares about it. How good is it for you to get together?"
"I'm not doing If You Are the One, be serious, bubble."
"Hey? I think it's quite interesting..."
At this moment, Canary raised her head and coughed gently. When she heard the canary's voice, Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum immediately closed her mouth and turned her head to look at the girl beside her. Until then, Canary said in a low voice.
"I think we should pay more attention to the Legion."
Rhode's face darkened slightly when he heard Canary's words.
After fighting against the Blue Eagle on the Ice Field, the legion became Rhode's heart disease. Although John's response was not wrong, Rhode knew very well that if the cavalry had lost his luck and had no time to go back and be arrested, then Rhode would probably not know how his people were detained by the Council of Light at the end. It was from that time that Rhode found that his thoughts were wrong. Indeed, in the game, he knew that John Grell would be an excellent and brave legion commander. But Rhode ignored one thing, that is, everyone grew up, this is not a game. You dig a character with high hidden attributes, and then after training, he could become a famous general
.Not to mention in another world, even on earth, many famous generals appeared to create heroes in the times. If it weren't for some things they had experienced, they might not have become famous generals, but they would just be historians or herding cattle and horses. John has potential, but his experience is not rich enough to handle such complex situations. Originally, Rhodes wanted to hand over the entire private soldiers under his command to John, but after this matter, Rhodes had changed his mind. Although John had potential, he was still too young to bear this important task. At present, Rhodes still needed a talent who could control the three armies and be familiar with the command of the army.
Originally, Rhodes did not have such a candidate, but after Canary mentioned this, a person suddenly flashed through his mind.
Thinking of this, Rhode stood up. Seeing Rhode's expression, Canary smiled slightly.
"Did you decide? Rhodes?"
"Yes, I already have the right person."
Rhode nodded when he heard Canary's inquiry.
Chapter completed!
