Chapter 402 The dragons’ goals
Currently, both the Su Ru and Su Mo brothers, as well as Sun Qi, Zhao Lu and Zhang Shan, all have their own lord mansions at level 3, which means the upper limit of the population is 50 people.
If we quadruple the number of people on this basis, wouldn't it mean that the population limit would directly reach 200 people?
According to the previous mansion upgrade experience, this undoubtedly means that their lord's mansion will be directly upgraded by two levels in a row to reach level 5!
You must know that at this stage, the lords who can reach the level 4 mansion are enough to gain the envy and worship of other lords in various chat channels, and those who can reach the level 5 mansion are even rarer.
In other words, if they can upgrade their mansion to level 5, they will jump into the first echelon of the billions of lords, and then become a star among the lords!
As for the various benefits of upgrading to level 5, it goes without saying that the higher population limit and more recruitment orders that can be received every day will undoubtedly greatly enhance your own survivability!
Thinking of this, the faces of the five lords were filled with joy, and their bodies were trembling slightly with excitement.
"Brother Xiaoshen, what do you mean..."
Su Ru swallowed his saliva first, then leaned forward slightly and tentatively confirmed: "Are you going to upgrade all our lord's mansions to level 5?"
Looking at the expressions of excitement and desire on the faces of the five lords, Lei Xiao nodded, smiled calmly and said: "That's exactly it."
There are two reasons why Lei Xiao made this decision:
The first point is naturally to further expand the output of this hidden mineral vein and speed up the upgrade of the guardian defense mechanism in the territory.
As long as the level of the guardian defense mechanism is improved, the strength of the 24 earth guardians and 8 sky guardians will undoubtedly be further improved!
Although each improvement, the effect is not very obvious for a single guardian.
But if most of the guardians can be put together, just like what Lei Xiao is doing now, and all are stored in the space bracelet, quantitative changes will naturally lead to qualitative changes, instantly forming a powerful force that cannot be underestimated.
What's more, according to previous experience, as the level of the guardian defense mechanism continues to increase, the number of guardians will also increase, and the overall strength will increase.
If this continues, this will undoubtedly become a powerful trump card in Lei Xiao's hand.
As for the second point, it was what Lei Xiao had envisioned before, to further expand the production of copper and iron ingots.
In the lord mansions of the five lords, after reaching level 5, they can already make exquisite-level sickles or logging axes.
In this way, Lei Xiao's average daily output of copper and iron ingots can be increased from the current 1,200 units to 7,200 units. Coupled with the previous reserves, the 20,000 units of resources needed for the next mansion upgrade are no longer there. distant.
"Just like what I thought last night, I can completely focus on obtaining refined steel ingots."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully while looking at the busy construction scene in the mine.
Opposite Lei Xiao, in their ecstasy, they saw the five lords without hesitation and immediately rushed to thank Lei Xiao: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xiaoshen!"
After finishing speaking, Su Ru, Su Mo, Sun Qi and others couldn't help but feel filled with emotion in their hearts.
The massive resources required to upgrade a level 3 mansion to level 4 can be regarded as a huge mountain in front of most lords.
In addition to the newly added copper and iron ore, the demand for the three basic resources of wood, stone and thatch has also increased significantly compared to before.
This is the case when you upgrade to level 4, let alone the subsequent upgrade from level 4 to level 5.
The Xiaoshen boss has not only upgraded his own mansion to level 7, which can only be looked up to, but he also has to upgrade the mansions of five of them from level 3 to level 5 at the same time... Such a resource reserve. , can only be described as appalling!
Thinking of this, the five lords swallowed involuntarily, and there was a touch of uncontrollable reverence in their eyes when they looked at Lei Xiao.
"As for giving you the resources needed to upgrade your mansion, just wait until I return to the territory."
Lei Xiao first moved his gaze away from the lively excavation scene in the mine, and while scanning the five lords, he said: "In addition, let all your lords' mansions be upgraded to level 5. In addition to rewarding you for your recent good performance, there is also a small additional condition.”
Next, Lei Xiao told the five lords about making exquisite-level tools every day.
Of course, if the five of them have production needs, they can still make it themselves.
After all, as the population grows, some basic buildings, furniture and other items must also be equipped accordingly.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Xiaoshen, we will all listen to you!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Su Ru, Su Mo, Sun Qi and others nodded again and again without hesitation.
For the five of them, this was naturally a piece of cake.
If there is no boss Xiaoshen, if their mansion wants to successfully upgrade to level 5, they still don't know how long it will take.
And, just as Xiaoshen boss said before leaving last time, the most indispensable thing in this land is their substitutes.
Each of them understands this very well.
The most important thing is that the greatest wealth for the five of them is to be favored by the unfathomable Xiaoshen boss!
“Very good.”
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and while pacing slowly in front of the five lords, he said again: "Also, regarding the digging tools, if you have any requests, feel free to ask, and I will satisfy you."
"Great, thank you, Mr. Xiaoshen!"
Hearing this, the five people's grinning mouths never closed, and they responded immediately.
"Of course, raising your mansion to level 5 is just the beginning."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then spoke to the five lords: "After this, I will give you a corresponding number of complete sets of equipment based on your mining volume, which will be enough to elevate your strength to a whole new level. .”
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xiaoshen!"
Upon hearing Lei Xiao's new incentives, the five lords all looked happy and nodded again.
"By the way, there is one more thing."
Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and asked about Su Ru and Sun Qi's talents again.
After all, these two people's "treasure tracer" and "exotic ore prospector" are very good talents, and their effect on them is very considerable.
Before this, both this mineral vein and the unopened immortal door in another abandoned mine were discovered through this.
"Brother Xiaoshen, during the recent period, my talent has not detected anything else worth noting."
Su Ru smiled sheepishly, scratched his head and responded.
After a pause, Su Ru added: "However, please rest assured, Mr. Xiaoshen, after this period of elimination, I believe it won't be long before I make new discoveries!"
"Brother Xiaoshen, my situation is the same!"
Sun Qi, who was on the side, also took a step forward and responded: "Although I have explored a lot of the surrounding area and have not found other rare mineral veins yet, as long as a part of the area is eliminated every day, new mineral veins will always be discovered. Please wait and see, Mr. Xiaoshen.”
At this time, it can be clearly seen that the faces of Su Ru and Sun Qi are full of urgent expressions.
After getting to know each other in the chat channel during this period, the two of them clearly understood in their hearts.
In order to survive better in this strange world, win-win cooperation between lords is undoubtedly the most critical and indispensable thing.
Only by fully utilizing the talents of each lord can the entire team overcome obstacles and move more smoothly and further.
After all, the talent of each lord is his own unique ability, which will dissipate as soon as he dies.
And just as I thought just now, a considerable part of the reason why Xiaoshen boss favors them so much is precisely because of their talents.
The most important thing is that with every discovery, Xiaoshen Boss will give them benefits beyond imagination, and as long as Xiaoshen Boss is present, the safety of all of them can be completely guaranteed.
It can be seen that no matter from which aspect, the two of them will naturally not hide anything, and there is no need to do so.
Only by letting Boss Xiaoshen know that they can play a supporting role can they have the opportunity to truly become a member of Boss Xiaoshen's team!
"It doesn't matter. If you find anything, just notify me in time."
Looking at the eager expressions of Su Ru and Sun Qi, Lei Xiao also saw what they were thinking at a glance, and nodded slightly.
In this way, after checking everything in the secret mine, Lei Xiao and his group of seven came to the entrance of the cave again under the farewell of the five lords.
Under the bright sunshine, just as Lei Xiao felt the fresh air blowing in his face, the reminder to read suddenly rang.
After the call was connected, Ned's extremely panicked voice came over: "Lord Qi, just now in Magnet Town, we also encountered three fifth-order dragons for exploration."
At this point, there was a nervous gulping sound as he read the words, and then Ned continued: "Currently, the three giant dragons are galloping towards Kongqing Town!"
"Oh?"
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked: "Ned, have you seen the colors of the three dragons clearly?"
At that time, when they encountered the giant dragon, Lei Xiao and his party did not see the true face of these dragons because they were under a hidden mountain wall.
"Back to the lord, there are three adult red dragons whose whole bodies are burning like flames!"
On the other side of the conversation, Ned's still-shocked voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"I understand. If you find anything new, please notify me immediately."
Lei Xiao nodded solemnly, then stopped talking.
It didn't take long for Lin from Kongqing Town, Xuan Yue from Mailan Town, and Donna from Red Arrow Town to report the sighting of three adult red dragons.
Finally, after being witnessed by subordinates from all over the place, the three red dragons, who had found nothing, flew towards the hinterland of Cold Flame to the east.
"It's exactly as I expected. Judging from the current situation, the other party's goal is Lengyan Zhucheng."
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and murmured to himself: "Three adult fifth-level red dragons? What are they looking for?"
"Lord, the red dragon is one of the most violent and territorial branches among the dragon clan. It is indeed not an ordinary thing to be able to send them out in large numbers."
I saw Chaoyan pouting on the side with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Dragon?! Level 5?! Three?!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, brother and sister Su Ru, Su Mo, and Sun Qi were already so surprised that they could not speak complete sentences.
"Don't worry, it's very safe here."
Noticing the surprise of the five lords, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, then waved his hand and led the subordinates away from here.
Just as Lei Xiao was walking and thinking about his next destination, the maid behind him, A Ling, suddenly realized with flashing eyes: "Lord, my subordinates know what the targets of those red dragons are searching for!"
"Oh?"
Lei Xiao stopped by the trickling stream and motioned for him to continue.
"Lord, do you still remember the first formal meeting we had in the luxurious box of the Gelin City Grand Theater?"
A Ling, who had neat short hair, prompted as she bowed to Lei Xiao.
"What was the first official meeting like?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and began to recall.
It was during that meeting that he successfully conquered Xue Ya, who had an outstanding alchemical talent, and became the first alchemist in the territory.
After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said: "A Ling, are you saying that the target of the three red dragons is Fenglong City, the fiefdom of the Xue Ya family?!"
At that time, Lei Xiao clearly remembered that Xue Ya once said that the biggest secret of her Bingliu family was that she had been secretly guarding a red dragon of unknown origin for the Leng Yan royal family.
Thinking about it this way, combined with the existing clues, it is indeed consistent with the current situation that more than one red dragon can be sent out to search for the target at the same time. It is the same kind of red dragon.
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is!"
Aling still maintained a respectful posture and said solemnly: "For hundreds of years, the Bingliu clan has been fulfilling its mission, and Miss Xue Ya's father was attacked by the red dragon when he was reinforcing the seal. If it backfires, you will be poisoned by the dragon flame and be in a very dangerous state.”
Having said this, a grateful expression appeared on A Ling's fair cheeks, and she added: "However, fortunately I met Lord Lord, and with Lord Lord's Ice Crystal Holy Spirit Pill, the poison of Dragon Flame was naturally solved. .”
"Is that really the case..."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face again. (End of chapter)
