Chapter 384 Arrangements before Action
With the release of Jiang Yao's mission, and stimulated by the mission's high rewards, many players who originally wanted to have some fun immediately changed their mind to full support.
For players, the competitive pressure of this event is very high. Fifty places may seem like a lot, but according to the current number of guilds, it is not that difficult to get into the top fifty.
And in the eyes of many players, this event seems to be a competition to see who is more aggressive.
After all, the insect swarm hosts in the second stage can produce powerful combat units. According to the current worth of each player, they can still order a lot of units of this level together.
So in this event, everyone is essentially on the same starting line. If you want to get more points or achieve greater achievements, it depends purely on luck and your timing.
It is also for this reason that players have a pretty good reputation for this activity. After all, compared to activities that are purely based on the amount of krypton gold, activities like this are undoubtedly much more people-friendly.
So after determining the general situation, many guilds began to make preparations.
At this time in the Salted Fish Guild.
"Brothers, it's time for us to perform next. We may not be as good as those big guilds in terms of krypton power, but in terms of liver power, I don't think any guild can be better than us."
As he spoke, Xianyu turned his attention to everyone again, "Actually, we have participated in an event like this before. I think everyone knows how to operate it."
Everyone nodded after hearing what Xianyu said, "A bug works in two shifts. Don't worry, we are familiar with this routine."
"Yes, this is the operation mode, but this time we also need to consider several other issues. If you want to gain points, you must destroy the enemy's warships."
"Although the units created by me as the insect swarm host have certain combat capabilities, the enemy belongs to the empire after all. No matter how bad they are, they are not far behind. Therefore, in order to destroy more enemy warships, we need to work hard on material reserves. .”
Speaking of this, Xianyu paused and then continued: "Although it is enough to announce to the outside world that one insect swarm host and one king insect filled with ores are enough, but I think if you want to get high points, you need to This kind of material reserve is definitely not enough.”
"So I temporarily decided that each insect swarm host should be equipped with three king insects filled with ores, and we can disperse these king insects in different areas to avoid being eaten up by the enemy.
In addition, I think we also need to deploy some worker bees, so that if we encounter some planets with resources, we can dig a wave to replenish consumption. ”
No one had much objection to the arrangement of salted fish, but soon everyone discovered another problem, "In other words, although the problem of material supply and later battery life has been solved, the transportation of this insect is also a big problem."< br>
"After all, the bugs produced from the group host do not have the ability to jump, and it is impossible for us to move the group host to the enemy's hometown to produce them, so most of the time we need to use the king insect to transport them."
"But the problem is that the number of king insects we carried was a bit excessive. If we include the king insects that are still needed for transportation, our guild will definitely not be able to control it."
At this time, Xianyu also fell into deep thought after hearing this player's words.
Obviously this is indeed a problem. There are too many soldiers left, so the manpower in the Salted Fish Guild will definitely not be enough.
"This is a troublesome thing." Xianyu thought for a while and then suggested: "How about we hire someone to help us control the king insect."
After hearing Xianyu's suggestion, everyone immediately rejected his idea, "Let's forget about hiring people. Most of our guilds should go their separate ways during this wave of activities."
"Each guild will look for enemy nests or support points on its own. To put it simply, the actions of each of our guilds must be kept strictly confidential."
"Although most of the people we hire have some integrity, who can guarantee that there are no spies or intelligence dealers in this group of people?"
"So for the sake of safety, we'd better find a way to solve it ourselves."
Hearing this player say that Xianyu was also in trouble, "You are right. Hiring people does involve great risks. When the intelligence dealer sells our information, we will really lose money." .”
Just when everyone was still in trouble, a player suggested, "If it doesn't work, let's evolve the king insect."
Speaking of this, the player was also a little helpless, "After all, with our current manpower, it is definitely impossible to use ordinary king insects. Although the evolved king insects are very tricky, this is our only way."
After hearing this player's suggestion, everyone was a little undecided about this matter. The evolution of the king insect was just as the player said, it was very confusing.
First of all, the evolution cost of the king insect is two million, and the size of the evolved king insect will become much larger, and its transportation capacity will be five times that of the previous one.
Apart from this, he has no other improvements.
It is also for this reason that it tops the list of the most cheating evolutions.
Compared with other bugs, although the king bug's transportation capabilities have been greatly improved after evolution, in fact, the price/performance ratio is simply outrageously low.
The price of a single king insect is 200,000 evolution points. Two million can buy ten of them, which means a tenfold increase in transportation capacity. If you choose to evolve, you can only get a fivefold increase.
So normally players wouldn't take advantage of the enemy to evolve, but the current situation forced Xianyu and the others to take this approach.
"It's numb. It's getting uncomfortable now. You said you shouldn't evolve. We don't have enough manpower at all. You said you should evolve. This piece of shit cost us a lot of money right from the start."
Speaking of this, Xianyu also had a sad look on his face.
And just when everyone was still frowning, a pleasant voice suddenly came into their ears.
"Fellow swarm warriors, do you need black insect transportation services?"
After hearing this sound, everyone subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from.
"Black Insect Queen?" Everyone was a little confused as he said this.
Looking at the eyes of everyone looking at her, the Black Insect Queen continued, "Dear Zerg warriors, have you forgotten the transportation service launched by our Black Insect?"
"This service can just solve the problems you are facing right now."
When they heard Hei Chong's imitation, everyone glanced at him and said, "You idiot, your service is too expensive. Who can afford it?"
"Yes, other people's transportation is based on the cost of a trip, but your transportation is based on the percentage of one vehicle."
"And this percentage is not low. We are using all the damn ores. I estimate that I can pay for several evolved king insects for your car."
"Your fees are too expensive and I can't afford it."
After hearing what everyone said, the Black Insect Queen quickly explained: "Everyone, for this event, the charging model of our transportation service has also changed." "Now we charge based on the number of days. The things you need to transport are in the King Insect." One day is the price of one day, and the price is not expensive. ”
"For a king insect, we only charge 500 evolution points a day,"
After hearing the words of the Black Insect Queen, everyone looked at each other, "Five hundred evolution points a day? Is your King Insect made of gold or something like that?"
"Dark! It's too dark. According to your pricing, if we get three to five thousand king insects at a time, it will cost two to three million a day. Who can afford it?"
"Yes, this wave of investment is really exaggerated."
"Speaking of which, I feel like it doesn't matter whether you change your strategy or not. It's all equally bad anyway."
At this time, the Black Insect Queen was unhappy when she heard the complaints from all the players, "Dear Zerg warriors, we can't say that."
"Let's think about entrusting this task to us. Is it a lot to receive 500 evolution points per king insect per day?"
Having said this, the Black Insect Queen continued to add: "Let me explain it to you. First of all, when you are short of manpower, you only have a few choices."
"The first option is to evolve directly, but the cost-effectiveness of evolution is too low. At present, the amount of evolution you have is still very large, which will involve a problem, that is, your early investment is very large."
"Even if you pull out seven or eight hundred of them, each one will be worth two million. If you get seven or eight hundred of them, it will be more than a billion. With the number of people you have now, each person will have to produce at least three to four hundred thousand evolution points."
"The second option is to find low-priced black slaves. Although these black slaves charge low prices, can you guarantee that they will not sell your important locations to other insects?"
"After all, eating both sides will always make more than eating one side, so this safety guarantee is gone."
"Of course, it is not ruled out that those people may keep their promises, but there are too many uncertain factors. The rewards for this mission are very generous. If there is even a slight glitch in the process, it will be a huge loss for everyone. ”
"In addition, those black slaves also charge one hundred and fifty to two hundred evolution points a day, so we are two to three hundred more expensive than them, but we have bought a guarantee."
At this time, as the words of the Black Insect Queen fell, everyone just looked at each other. They had to admit that what the Black Insect Queen said was quite reasonable.
Although this thing is a bit expensive, at least they can keep the information secret.
At this time, the players were a little surprised when they heard what the Black Insect Queen said, "Brothers, I think this thing can be operated. Think about it, if we hire people, do we have to buy the King Insect."
< br>
"When you buy the King Insect, you have to pay for hiring people. So isn't the investment high? Although after buying these King Insects, we can still use them even after the event is over."
"But the question is, can such a large pile of King Insects really be used? I estimate that by then, most of the Overlord Insects will be left in the warehouse to eat dust."
"Thinking about it this way, I feel that hiring is quite cost-effective."
At this time, when the Black Insect Queen saw that everyone was talking about it, it remembered what the Brain Insect told it and quickly added.
"Dear warriors, if you place your order now, you can enjoy a 20% discount."
"And to be honest with you, there are already a lot of guilds that have placed orders so far, and we Blackworm only have two thousand left."
"If you don't place an order, I probably won't have a chance."
And just as the Black Insect Queen finished speaking, a worker bee was seen running over in a hurry not far away.
"The Queen of Black Insects, after thinking about it, I'd better hire you." At this point, the player added: "By the way, our guild will cover all the black worms you have left."
As his words fell, everyone immediately panicked, "Hey! Don't move, don't move. As for you, just stop looking!... Sun thief, what are you doing?"
"Yeah, they are trying to sell us what are you going to do to cut off your hair? First come, first served, do you understand?"
"The Black Insect Queen is talking to us now. We haven't refused to let you join in the fun here. Our guild will take care of it."
"Yes, our guild has everything covered. Where can you stay?"
In this way, Xianyu and the others clamored to decide on this list.
After seeing Xianyu and the others making a decision, the player could only leave in anger.
After they left, Xianyu and the others also learned about some of the current situation of the guild through the conversation just now.
"Brothers, this wave of competition is far beyond our expectations."
"Yes, at first I thought that activities like this were basically competitions between powerful unions, but as you can see, the player just now is obviously from a small guild."
“Originally, we thought that this event would only involve mid-level and above guilds, but now it seems that even the small guilds can’t stand it any longer.”
"No, but it's understandable if you think about it. After all, the rewards given in this event are so generous. It's understandable that they want to make a fortune from this."
"Although the evolution coupons given in this event cannot be traded, the evolved troops can be traded, so as long as they get the rewards and evolve in later generations, they can make a profit."
"If this is the case, then we must start taking action immediately. To put it bluntly, this event is a race against time."
"Yes, we can't delay any longer. Arrange everything that needs to be arranged immediately and set off."
Speaking of this, Xianyu quickly asked: "What is the current situation of purchasing the insect host we ordered?"
Hearing Xianyu's question, the player in charge of purchasing quickly replied: "The leader just sent me a message, saying that it is ready and we can pick up the goods at any time."
"Then there's the ore. I contacted the ore seller immediately after you told me to order more ore. But the price of the ore has increased, and the energy points of the first bite have increased to 22 evolution points, so I'm thinking Do you want to place an order or not?”
Xianyu also felt a little uncomfortable when he heard about the purchase. "I guess there are more players buying ore now, so that group of ore dealers will increase the price. Place your order directly, otherwise I won't be able to wait for long and there will be another increase." Wave.”
After hearing what Xianyu said, the player in charge of purchasing nodded, "Okay, then I will triple the ore order."
