Chapter 138 Murphy's Law
The cost of the high-end training ground was so high that it even made Xu Lai feel a little pained.
Forget about training for a day, even if he only trains for 5 hours a day and earns a gold box, he is still the only one.
Three military camps have just been built, with 23 recruits plus Xu Lai and a bunch of 2nd and 3rd level flower demons, gargoyles and the like, totaling more than 60 low-level soldiers.
These soldiers must be upgraded to at least level 4. Only after they become mid-level soldiers can Xu Lai feel more at ease.
Not to mention anything else, even if the most economical one gold coin is doubled, Xu Lai will spend more than 60 gold a day.
If he didn't spend it, he would probably have to wait until next month before he could find some leveling wild monsters in the surrounding area.
Jian Yuan was sent out early in the morning by Xu Lai. He now has a map provided by the temple, which basically covers the human activity area.
The map he drew himself took Qingfeng Town as the center of the circle and clearly mapped out the entire ten kilometers nearby, even including the part leading to the bandit camp along the way.
Xu Lai has also been to a place ten kilometers away, but the previous scouts were not able to run that far alone, so the map could not be drawn.
Xu Lai had no problem adding some marks to other people's maps, but if he were to draw his own map, the proportions, terrain, etc. would be distorted.
So, in order to complete this map and to identify the surrounding dangers, all two elite scouts were taken out by Jian Yuan.
The task Xu Lai gave him was to conduct reconnaissance and map drawing. As for which direction to go or how far to run, Xu Lai didn't care about him at all.
He himself and Xu Lai took fifteen units of food and drinking water. Each of them carried a large backpack. He probably wouldn't come back within a day or two, unless he discovered some particularly valuable information.
Of course, Xu Lai was reluctant to give gold coins to these ordinary soldiers, which does not mean that he was reluctant to give gold coins to his own people.
It's just that he is not rich now, so he just plans to open the most cost-effective 1 gold coin package for everyone who wants to try it.
In the end, only Giselle, Yan Feng and the others were interested, and there were only four of them, including Xu Lai and Su Ya, so they simply had the luxury of giving each of them 2.5 times the experience of 2 gold coins to experience it.
Yu Lan said that in this training ground, there were no training venues and equipment for mages and priests, not even the simplest meditation room, which would not be of any help to her.
Well, Xu Lai can't help it. The advanced training ground is mainly aimed at physics professions.
Not only Yu Lan, but also the forest demon Bai Yang is not interested in the training ground. She said that as a herder, her training and upgrading speed here would be worse than going back to plant trees.
Dill's level was so high that he was desperate. Anyway, he didn't like this training ground very much, because the most difficult training here was not difficult for him and had almost no training effect.
Without training effect, it is naturally impossible to gain experience, so don’t waste this money.
And except for mages like Yu Lan, the advanced training ground does not have corresponding training measures for flying units.
In other words, even if Xu Lai throws in flower demons and gargoyles, the training effect will not be as good as that of shooters and infantry. After all, it is a training ground for the human race.
Xu Lai trained shield blocking for an hour at the training ground. This skill level is relatively low, and the experience gained is pretty good.
It is worth mentioning that the 2.5 times increase effect is not only based on experience, but also increases skill proficiency by 2.5 times.
However, after an hour of training, Xu Lai's shield skill almost reached level three.
Unfortunately, 93% of his level 11 experience has not changed at all after this hour.
The experience value has definitely increased, that is, the range is less than 1%. On the contrary, Su Ya's side has increased by 2% in this hour. I don't know whether it is because the gap between their experience bars is too big, or because Su Ya He has to work much harder than Xu Lai.
Don't say that Xu Lai's legs were weak today. Even if his legs were not weak, he would not be able to swing the big shield and smash it for an hour.
It's not that he lacks physical strength, but that it's really difficult to persist in such repetitive and boring mechanical movements.
Xu Lai's perseverance today is completely different from that in the past. At any rate, he did not slack off at all during this hour, and he did not relax until the end of the time.
Su Ya still refused to leave, so Xu Lai forced her out.
The sky is already dark, and the training ground is not covered with magic lights. There is only a built-in brazier. The effect is better than the torch, but it still greatly affects the efficiency.
This afternoon, hard-working women have borrowed tools from Xu Lai Lai. On the way back, Xu Lai saw that a lot of land had been simply plowed over.
After the three newly built houses were built, Yu Lan arranged the courtyards for everyone under Xu Lai's remote instruction.
Except for Dong Shuqin’s private courtyard, there are at least 6 people arranged in each courtyard. Including Aaron and Little Aiboka, there are a total of 8 courtyards arranged.
There are 3 courtyards and 6 wooden buildings left, which can provide a rest for 84 soldiers in total.
Tomorrow we will build another round of courtyards and wooden buildings, and almost all the people and soldiers will be allocated. After all, some soldiers will be on duty at night.
Most of the twelve courtyards were already cooking and cooking. As Xu Lai walked back, he could smell the fragrance of rice in several places.
Xu Lai was not stingy. The three-day rations he promised were calculated according to the portions of an adult man. They were also matched with rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, and even came with a small amount of seasonings.
In fact, the people living here are either women or children. If you save some food for these three days, you can last for five or six days.
Back in their yard, Yu Lan and others had already prepared dinner.
Xu Lai ate in a hurry and left in a hurry, taking three level 2 infantry with him, and also found a wooden box to put 1,000 gold coins. If this transaction is not completed for a day, Xu Lai will have something on his mind. After completely transferring the ownership to Dong Shuqin, even if she regrets it now, Xu Lai will definitely fight to the death for the ownership of the general.
The transaction process went smoothly, and Dong Shuqin probably calmed down completely this afternoon.
When Xu arrived, she warmly welcomed Xu Lai in for tea.
Xu Lai has no tea left to drink now, and she doesn’t know where she got it.
But Andy Yin must have doted on her before, and she had space in her backpack, so it was easy to hide some good things.
Dong Shuqin wanted to keep him drinking tea late at night, which was very suggestive.
But this time, Xu Lai did not come alone. He was accompanied by Xindian general Dill Rogers.
Dong Shuqin still wanted to lose face. Xu Lai did not accept her hint and was too embarrassed to express it directly.
So, after she checked the gold coins, the transaction was successfully completed. Xu Lai drank two cups of tea and left with Dill.
While Dong Shuqin was counting the gold coins, Xu Lai had been observing, not only Dong Shuqin, but also Dill.
Dil is a handsome guy with blond hair. He should be in his 30s to 40s, which is when he is at his most vigorous.
However, at this time, Dong Shuqin only had Xu Lai in his eyes, and did not look at Dier at all, and did not even inquire about Dier, an obviously unfamiliar face.
After leaving Dong Shuqin’s yard, Xu Lai stopped and said to Dier:
“What do you think of that woman just now?”
In front of Dong Shuqin , Xu Lai couldn't ask her how she felt about Dier, lest she would think of something.
But Dill Rogers' loyalty to him is full, at least for now, and I believe he will not avoid any questions from Xu Lai.
Sure enough, Dill nodded and said: "Your Excellency, I don't know why, but I have a natural closeness to Miss Dong, as if she is my relative.
But I know that there is nothing between me and her. The blood relationship can only be the will of God."
Xu Lai smacked his lips. Sure enough, even in a different world, things like Murphy's Law still exist.
The less Xu Lai thinks about something, the more he thinks about it. The friendship between Dier and Dong Shuqin is probably really at full value.
But Dill is Xu Lai’s subordinate after all, and Xu Lai also used the general order on him. Even if the friendship level is really full, there should not be any explanation like die loyal, otherwise it would be right It's unfair for him to come.
"What if this lady has something to ask you for help?" Miss is a term for an unmarried girl in another world, but it has become a derogatory term in Xu Laina.
Dil frowned and said: "I think it should be my honor to help such a beautiful, gentle and kind lady."
Xu Lai couldn't laugh or cry, this damn alien world ah.
Of course, Xu Lai will not complain about this when he enjoys the effect of Su Ya and the others' die-hard loyalty.
"So, what if such a beautiful, gentle, and kind lady asks you to do something that will harm my interests?" Xu Lai asked again.
Dill no longer frowned this time. He simply knelt down in front of Xu Lai and said:
"My lord, are you doubting my loyalty?
I have a moment. I dare not forget your promotion and cultivation of me. If it weren't for you, I would always be just a trainee archer who can't even hit the target 50 meters away.
It was you who trained me step by step. The highest-level shooter, you promoted me to be your general. Your kindness to me is even greater than that of my parents.
Even if my subordinates die a thousand or ten thousand times, they will never do it. Anything that hurts you.”
Xu Lai took a long breath, and the full value of 100 loyalty points made Xu Lai believe that what Dill said at this time was completely true.
However, the deeper Dill's loyalty becomes, the more difficult it will be for Xu Lai to sow discord.
But after thinking about it carefully, Dong Shuqin still lived on his territory after all, watching within his field of vision.
The most important thing is that this woman cannot be said to have no ambition, she simply has no ambition at all.
Originally Xu Lai wanted Dier not to approach this woman, but when he said it, he felt that it might have the opposite effect, so he simply let them go.
Even if they really get along, Dong Shuqin may not have the ability to shake Xu Lai's image in Dier's heart, which may be counterproductive and achieve the effect Xu Lai wants.
Xu Lai even felt that maybe this question should not be asked tonight.
However, Xu Lai finally got a clear answer to this question. It seems that "other people's" general orders cannot be used casually in the future.
If you want to use it, use one that ensures there will be no sequelae. For example, a dead person cannot get up again to stir up trouble.
If there is resurrection magic in this world, then simply burn the corpse together. Even resurrection magic requires a corpse. Without a corpse, the soul cannot be directly resurrected.
