Chapter 90 The Dark Valley (Updated daily)
After arranging these matters, Bai Bian walked out of the court.
Of the 150,000 soldiers, the upper 30,000 bronze soldiers will definitely be retained, as will the middle 50,000 soldiers, and the rest will most likely be professionals in the lower bronze ranks.
Now the normal expenditure of the legion has suddenly dropped from 150 million to 60 million. Even including equipment maintenance and normal military supplies, the maximum monthly expenditure is 70 million, and the lowest is 6,340. Looks like a million.
The salary of various positions in the city has dropped directly to 20 million. Including maintenance and various expenses in the city, it will not exceed 100 million a month.
In other words, this wave of layoffs can save more than 100 million a month.
With this money, all his resources can be used at the highest level, and he can also arm these 150,000 soldiers to greatly increase their combat effectiveness.
And there is still money left over to build inner cities.
As for the outer city, everything can continue as usual. It is the basic foundation of order and civilization, so don’t destroy it at will.
Bai Bian's mood gradually became happy. When the trade route to Sabo opened, Tobu City was about to enter a state of take-off.
And he can also start recruiting alchemists. When there are more alchemists, the inner city of Tobu City will become the most prosperous area in the entire federation.
But when he was in a happy mood, many people began to feel unhappy.
For example, the old city lord Eric.
He looked at the group of people kneeling and crying in the distance with an expressionless face, and suddenly felt a little uninterested. Originally, he had given so many places to give up more opportunities.
And now looking at these people who have no energy at all, he also wonders if he is wrong.
"Do you also feel that this is wrong?"
He looked at his disciple: Badu.
As the commander of the Wucheng Army, Badu is actually not smart, but in this era, potential is more important than intelligence, so he is the commander of the army, and his task is to defend the city that is the most mindless.
Just looking at Badu who was a little confused, Eric waved his hand casually: "I said, everything in the city is subject to Bai Bide's orders, you go down."
"As ordered. ." Badu bowed respectfully and then strode away.
He won't think so much, but he has one advantage, that is, he obeys the city lord's orders 100%. Since the city lord let him go, he will go back even if he doesn't understand.
Eric looked at the sky with a sense of sadness. Walking out of the civilian area, he knew the impact of what was happening now.
But since he chooses to let go, he will not make any intervention. After the white epidemic reaches the golden stage, he can really retire
As the sound of neat footsteps came, Si Fu led the soldiers of the Apocalypse Legion and dragged these people kneeling on the ground away expressionlessly.
Since these people don’t give up, they will all go mining. After a few years of mining, they have figured out that there are quite a lot of mineral resources belonging to Tobu City nearby.
The Department of Mineral Resources has not been disbanded, and it is enough to accommodate this group of people.
In addition to the city, the Wucheng Army and the Storm Legion also exploded. The soldiers looked at their superiors uneasily, but they could not stop the reduction of the legion quota.
As Bai Bian expected, the middle and upper ranks of bronze were all retained, while the lower ranks were determined purely by level and occupation.
Alchemists and mages will not move. Warriors and assassins can only stay after reaching level 15. All those below level 15 will be forced to retire.
As for unwillingness. In the magical world, rebellion cannot really occur. At most, the Ministry of Mineral Resources can only have more miners.
With strong execution, the entire Tobu City system took on a new look. In just three days, a large number of military camps were demolished, and a large number of official residences were vacated, becoming Tobu City's resources.
And there were more than 300,000 unemployed homeless people in the city, which created a huge wave of income for the Adventurer's Guild, and also allowed those wealthy businessmen to hire more extraordinary people.
The steam train has now connected the southeastern part of the Federation. Now the wealthy businessman who bought the steam train has begun to make a profit. He also needs a lot of extraordinary people. After all, the city and the areas in between are not absolutely safe. .
In addition to his city coming forward to clean up the dangers along the road, it would be best to have a transcendent follow the car.
These people actually don’t have to worry about where to go.
It just made the price of hiring extraordinary people in Tobu City slightly lower.
This doesn’t matter. After a while, the price will rise again.
After all, the reason why professionals’ wages are linked to their strength is because of the palace of knowledge and the price of materials.
The federal law sets a price for professionals, which can only be more but not less.
Because the lawful people have calculated that the bronze level is thirty gold coins a month. In addition to food and drink, a small amount of knowledge or resources can be purchased from the federation every month for progress.
Therefore, thirty gold coins is the bottom line price of bronze. Of course, most wealthy businessmen will only increase this price a little bit.
Bai Bian looked at Irene who walked out in confusion and stared at him.
I asked with great interest: "Has your talent awakened? What talent has been awakened?"
"Haa~"
Irene yawned, stretched out her hand, White light flashed in her hands, and a healing feeling came from her.
Bai Bian was a little surprised: "Is it therapeutic? Not bad, what career do you plan to take?"
"Haa~"
Irene yawned again and asked vaguely Said: "Boss, add ha~salary."
Bai Bian looked at the healing energy in her hand carefully and nodded: "Okay, the healing ones are quite rare, but I am still among the bronze ones. You can get two hundred and fifty gold coins a month."
Irene smiled reluctantly: "Haha, I just said that Luo Ning's prediction was not accurate, and that I was lucky. If there is a lack of wealth, won’t this bring wealth? ”
Bai Bing: "But you have been sleeping for most of this month. Those days will be counted as absenteeism, and fifty gold coins will be deducted first!"
Irene:.
"Damn it! This is my awakening talent. How could you do this! That's my hard-earned money!" Eileen suddenly became more energetic and looked at Bai Bie with a look of resentment.
Bai Bian raised his head slightly and asked condescendingly: "Just tell me whether you have done any work!"
"Um, it seems that you haven't~" Irene said. Yawning, he stood up and walked to the room, muttering in a low voice: "Damn capitalist, it seems that my talent has not yet fully awakened. When I finish awakening, I will come out and bite you to death!"
"So, what is your profession?" Bai Bian showed a pleasant smile on his face, teasing this elf always gave him a sense of pleasure.
"In the inherited memory, they all called me the Life Sacrifice. Haha, I won't say it anymore. I'll take a nap first. Bye!" Irene replied in a daze, opened the door to the room, and fell down directly. On the bed, fell into sleep.
Bai Yi: .
So she came out for the awakening ceremony just to get a salary increase?
He suddenly felt a little pain in his conscience. After all, Miss Elf has done this, and he even deducted her money.
Bai Bian silently decided to say that she heard wrongly after her awakening was completed.
"Boss, those few wonders who are familiar with you said they wanted to see you, do you want to go and see them?" Luo Ning came in from outside carrying a food box and said curiously.
Bai Bian glanced outside. Wei Brigade and the other five people arrived at the door at some unknown time. There were many players around them, all looking inside.
Opening the forum, it was as lively as ever. I clicked on Weilv’s homepage and flipped through it.
After quickly watching the latest video, I roughly understand what happened.
To put it simply, after they completed the task of finding the members hiding the Night Rose, they planned to try the main task again, but they were stopped just after leaving the city. Then they tried to ask for help, such as the NPC Chamber of Commerce, or went on an adventure. The player union will issue tasks.
It’s a pity that all it got was the destruction of the group, and even the Adventurer’s Guild had no one to take the mission because the value they could pay was too low.
Originally, the god-level missions were indeed difficult to complete, and no one complained about it. Then last night, that guy from Demacia said with a mysterious face that coming over tonight would definitely get White Plague to agree to help.
The vow made the players very curious, so some players will come over to take a look today.
Bai Bian was also a little curious. He stood up and walked out: "Okay, I'll go take a look and check out the store. Remember to register if anyone comes to me."
"Okay boss, be careful~" Luo Ning said obediently, opened the food box and started to cook.
As soon as I walked out of the store, dozens of players around me looked at Bai Bie eagerly, looking like a boss asking for help.
Bai Bian paused, and finally looked at Wei Brigade: "What's the matter?"
Wei Brigade looked at Demacia and signaled to start your performance.
Demacia did not hesitate, looked around, and lowered her voice as if she was very careful: "Mr. White Plague, top secret information, a war is about to begin." Players:
< br>
They looked at the live broadcast room and twitched the corners of their mouths. Ah, don't these guys know that the Wei Brigade is live broadcasting? Do you have such a strong desire to perform?
"War, what war?" Bai Bing asked in cooperation.
Demacia paused for a moment. Seeing that there was no mission, he was a little discouraged: "It's like this. Recently, we have been tracking down the matter of Rose of the Night, and then I discovered a situation by chance. Rose of the Night The people are trying to activate a mutation zone, intending to attack Tobu City, and then kill you in the chaos."
The players were shocked, and then excited, this seems to be a war mission!
Bai Bing was confused. Rose of the Night was known for being secretive. How could she leak such war information?
“How do you know?”
Other players also pricked up their ears and were full of curiosity, even the Wei Brigade and others were the same. They had met a lot of people from Rose of the Night. Yesterday’s market Those traders who went up to the scene did not reveal a single word of useful information until they died after being caught.
Demacia wilted all of a sudden, her tone full of resentment: "I didn't want to either, I just wanted to hide my staff, and then I walked to a basement, and finally."
He gradually began to cry: "My staff was snatched away again! They were still discussing things on my corpse! It seems like something from the headquarters can temporarily control the mutated area."< br>
As he talked, he finally couldn't help crying: "Mr. Bai Yie, they took away two of my staffs. I am incompatible with them!!!"
Wei Brigade :6.
No wonder he is so coy and mysterious, that’s why.
“Haha. Uh..”
I don’t know which player couldn’t hold it back and laughed, and then everyone was surrounded by suppressed laughter, and some even laughed unscrupulously, which annoyed the NPC They pointed.
The live broadcast room is even more unscrupulous, hahaha, the screen is full.
White Blight was also speechless: "Where did you hide the staff?"
"Outer City West District, Mr. White Blight, you must avenge me!" Demacia Listening to the laughter around me, the howling suddenly became louder.
Bai Yi: Who of the serious people would hide their magic staff so far away?
But if this is the case, it may indeed be true, because in the past, players were resurrected in ten seconds. In other words, during these ten seconds, he could watch his body disappear and wait in place for his consciousness to be pulled directly. Return to the starting point.
But now it's different. After being killed so hard by him that the server was stopped, the players' resurrection rules have been changed. If Demacia's resurrection time is an hour or even longer, maybe they can leave their consciousness in the land of death. Looking at the murderer who killed him
Bai Bian suddenly had an idea. Can players become self-destruction monitors? Throw the Guard Brigade into the enemy's base camp and kill it, then hide in the corner and watch the live broadcast?
As soon as this idea came up, Bai Biao couldn't help but want to test it, but unfortunately it was not the time yet.
After thinking about it, the power of the contract flashed, and Bai Bian snapped his fingers coolly.
Buzz~
The space shook. Amid the exclamations of the players, a mechanical dragon suddenly approached, exuding terrifying dragon power and hovering in the sky.
[You are frightened by the power of the dragon, speed -30%, strength -20%]
The players’ eyes are bright. Although their attributes have been reduced, they all stare at the sky with wide eyes. The behemoth in his eyes was full of eagerness to try, as if he planned to touch it once this guy came down.
After all, the dragon usually stays on the city wall, but they can only watch and cannot go up the city wall at all. Players who tried to break through the card were killed on the spot.
"Take me there. If it's true, then I'll give you the staff you lost." Bai Yi said with a smile.
Demacia's eyes lit up. Does this mean he can ride this dragon? This, this, this, this wave of crying is not a loss!
"No problem, no problem. I am a good citizen. If I encounter any abnormal situation, I will report it to Mr. White Plague as soon as possible!" Demacia nodded repeatedly.
Being stared at by resentful eyes, he couldn't help but straighten his back, as if to say: Look, this is a crying child who is fed milk, you know nothing!
The corner of Wei Lu's mouth twitched, what kind of bullshit luck
The next moment, the five of them were carried by a force and flew into the sky with Bai Bing.
In the envious eyes of the players, the dragon spread its wings and the six people disappeared in the inner city in an instant.
"Is this what it feels like to be a dragon knight? I love it, I love it!"
Demacia yelled, glanced at his teammates, and said in a cowardly manner: "Mr. White Plague, the one who said he wanted to The person who asked the monster to attack the city was an old guy wearing an angel mask, and the guy opposite him was a guy with a hood, whose face could not be seen clearly, the specific location."
He was a little stuck as he spoke, His eyes became a little blank. Anyone familiar with the game knew that he was watching a screen recording.
Bai Bian was not in a hurry. The mechanical dragon flew to the west wall of the outer city, staring at the west city area with a pair of scarlet eyes. Players, residents, and soldiers were all watching here.
But they all knew it was something belonging to the White Plague, and they didn't dare to get close.
Of course, the reason why players do not approach is because the city wall prohibits non-soldier units from approaching, and anyone who approaches will be shot.
After about thirty seconds, Demacia said: "I remembered, that place is called Dark Valley! They have already gone!"
Bai Yi paused and immediately I thought back to the mutated area where I and Lao Lang fought into Dongwu City, and it seemed like that was the name.
The boss there is a powerful abyss lord. After taking advantage of the creatures from the Shia continent, his strength was limited to level 69, the top level of gold. He is very cunning. He just uses the old wolf to collect all the creatures. The city's essence and blood finally broke through to the golden level.
After the player's resurrection point was forced to move, he eventually died at the hands of the cutscene CG, the legendary berserker.
I didn’t expect that after so many changes, it was still this mutated area!
But the time has been advanced, and the energy and blood of the old city lord have not faded. In the pure mutation area, even if Rose of the Night can control the city wall, it is meaningless
If Rose of the Night planned it If we want to attack the city, we must have a backup plan.
"You are very good. Now can you tell me where you heard the news?" Bai Bian's tone became solemn.
At the same time, the emphasis on players has been taken to a higher level.

Introduction: The dangerous rose reveals its spikes, eradicate it and kill it! 】
Excitement appeared in Demacia's eyes. He quickly pointed to a building not far away: "That's right there. There is a passage underground, and in the passage is a basement!"
< br>
Bai Ying looked at it and saw that it was actually a school in the outer city!
There was some depression in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Wait for me here, I will come to you later."
As he spoke, his mental power controlled this The body flew down, and then without hesitation, he pierced the spiritual power into the guardian ring.
Buzz~
A special message flashed in the direction of the city lord's palace. The function of this ring is to protect. While predicting danger, it can also convey this prediction to specific people. unit, that is, the city lord.
Feeling a soft gaze cast over him, Bai Bian said softly: "Lord City Lord, things here are a bit serious. I may not be able to handle it, and I need your help."
After the words fell, he waited for about three seconds. , the shadow of an old man slowly solidified, and the fluctuations in the space continued to flicker.
The old city lord and Bai Bian came to the school gate together: "Is there a problem here?"
Bai Bian nodded: "Maybe it is the branch of Rose of the Night in Tobu City. The wonders are here. I’ve heard a lot of news, let’s settle it here first, and then we’ll talk to you in detail.”
The city lord nodded, without any authority on his body, just like an old grandfather with his serious grandson, taking his time. I entered this school called Dongsheng Academy.
The school cannot make mistakes. Once a fierce battle breaks out here, the losses will be too huge. Therefore, the simplest way is to scare people away. It is reasonable to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Bai Bian will not act like a hero. Tobu City is his now and will be his in the future. It is time for these rats to make them pay the price.
He, Bai Bian, never fights an uncertain battle.
Thanks for the tip, Daju will work hard to update.
