Chapter 812,813 Recruiting mercenaries

This Charis is also an old man with a long black beard. Although he is a task NPC, his status is superior to that of the surrounding NPCs.

As soon as Charles opened his eyes, he looked at the items handed over by Xiao Hua, and immediately smiled: "Oh, generous adventurer, Lord Roderick, will be proud of having an adventurer like you live in his castle!"

What Xiao Hua handed over was not ordinary items, but twenty pieces of numbered skill fragments and nearly ten pieces of purple equipment. In addition, there were hundreds of blue pieces, which were all Xiao Hua’s gains today!

The harvest this day was far beyond Xiao Hua's imagination. He never thought that he would have easily hit so many skill fragments. I wonder if he was the first to enter here. Those monsters were all rich!

System prompt: You paid "Skill Fragment No. 11" to the city lord Roderick, and received a reward of 5 contributions and a 50-point pk reduction!

System prompt: You paid "Skill Fragment No. 7" to the city lord Roderick, and received a reward of 3 contributions and a 30-point pk reduction!

System prompts rise from Xiao Hua's eyes. Xiao Hua found that if you pay skill fragments below 10, you can only get 3 contributions and reduce the value of 30 pk, while the skill fragments with numbers 11 to 20 are rewarded with 5 contributions and reduce the value of 50 pk.

As for purple equipment, basically, 1 purple equipment only increases 1 contribution and reduces 10 pk value. Not to mention blue equipment, there is no reward for smashing a large number of blue equipment.

Xiao Hua looked at some rewards and was a little sweating. He paid all the items to the city lord, and he only reduced the pk value by less than 1,000 points, which was much lower than he expected.

However, this reward is not single, and there are also contributions. Xiao Hua thought about it so much, but he was much more balanced.

In fact, as long as the monster's explosion rate can be maintained, after he becomes familiar with the monster, he will hire a team of mercenaries, plus Xiao Hei or Gana, the speed of fighting monsters should increase greatly.

Xiao Hua did not pay all the items. He also packed two skill fragments with numbers 15 and 17 in his backpack. These two fragments can be traded. They should be sold for a lot of money in the future.

As for those bound light red skill fragments, it is not very useful to keep them. Naturally, they will pay them all in exchange for contribution and reduce the pk value.

"The contribution value is already 87 points. After accepting the task, it should be no problem to recruit a low-level mercenary."

Looking at the newly appeared contribution value on the attribute panel, Xiao Hua observed the newly refreshed task in the task hall. After accepting several tasks, he walked towards another building in the city.

Above the gate of this building, there is a pattern of a sword and a round shield crossing. This is the mercenary union of the City of Divine Punishment. Here, as long as you have enough contributions and gold coins, you can recruit the mercenaries you want to help fight and fight treasures.

The spacious hall was quiet and a little deserted. Xiao Hua walked straight to the window in the middle and said to the npcmm inside: "I want to recruit a mercenary."

"Okay, depending on your contribution, these are the list of mercenaries you can recruit, which contains a general introduction to each mercenary and the price required for recruitment." npcmm smiled slightly and handed Xiao Hua a stack of parchment paper in a quantity of about twenty pieces.

Xiao Hua actually wanted to recruit a priest-type mercenary, but this is his first time recruiting mercenaries. He wants to see what the situation is in each profession. Otherwise, according to his current contribution, if only NPC is allowed to present a list of priest-type mercenaries, there are probably only a few mercenaries to choose from.

After the contribution value is high, the number of mercenaries that players can recruit will increase greatly. At that time, players must use various screening functions, otherwise they will have to look at a large number of mercenaries and may not find satisfactory mercenaries.

Xiao Hua took the parchment from NPC curiously and looked carefully.

The information on this parchment is almost the same as the real world archives. In the upper left corner is the picture of the mercenary. The lower part on the right side of the picture is the introduction of the attributes of the mercenary. In terms of attributes, it includes the gender, occupation, level, and even height and weight of the mercenary!

However, after a little look at the attributes of several mercenaries, Xiao Hua found that the detailed attributes of the mercenaries he wanted to know most, such as hp, attack, defense and other attributes, were not mentioned. He just had a comprehensive strength assessment there. The strength of several mercenaries Xiao Hua looked at were all rated as F-level. In addition, there is another one that can judge the approximate strength of the mercenaries, which is the skills that the mercenaries possess, which can be viewed from the information. However, the detailed attributes of the skills are also unknown, and only the name of the skill is listed on it.

Some of these skills are the same as the skills that players have, while others are slightly different. You can only guess the detailed attributes by yourself.

"Hey, why are there such a low-level mercenary?"

Xiao Hua searched through several mercenaries' information in a row and made some subtle differences. But at this time, he saw that a mercenary had a level of only 23, and the previous ones were between 65 and 69 respectively. Such a low-level mercenary appeared in front of him, which surprised him.

Although his contribution is still very low, it is useless to bring such a low-level mercenary out.

"Why do such a low-level mercenary appear?"

If he didn't understand, he asked, and Xiao Hua didn't be polite to npcmm. He asked her curiously.

"Oh, this, after the player hires mercenaries, the mercenaries will also gain experience, but please rest assured that mercenaries will not lower the experience you should have. If the mercenary level increases during the battle with the player and returns to the city smoothly, the next time the player comes to recruit mercenaries, even again, the mercenary will definitely be on the list of recruitment.

Of course, this is just one of the benefits. The level increase of mercenaries will increase their favorability towards you. Sometimes after the level increase, special events will occur depending on the situation. For example, providing you with a hidden mission message, giving you rare props in the game, etc. So if you like a certain mercenary, you may have unexpected surprises slowly starting from the lower level.

However, I have an obligation to remind you that mercenaries also pay attention to potential. Not every mercenary's level will increase, the above events will occur. Choosing mercenaries is the most important step. If you find it troublesome, I think you should directly select advanced mercenaries for adventurers, which is more valuable to adventurers."

"So every time I hire a mercenary, the mercenaries I encounter are random?"

Xiao Hua's understanding of the mercenary system was only the first priority. After listening to the NPC's explanation, his heart was filled with questions.

"Yes, all adventurers can only recruit mercenaries once a day, and the list of mercenaries is random. However, the last time the mercenary who came back from adventurers has a great chance of reappearing based on the last encounter he encountered."

After hearing this, Xiao Hua nodded. It turned out that there were such rules.

There were more than ten copies of mercenary information in his hand and had not yet watched it. Xiao Hua stopped asking questions for the time being and started to read it carefully.

Next, he saw two relatively low-level mercenaries one after another, and there were already three low-level mercenaries in the front. Among these three mercenaries, two of them had the most basic attack skills, but without exception, their strength ratings were all the lowest level G-level. If the player directly included G-level mercenaries in the first place, he would definitely not be able to find these low-level mercenaries.

Xiao Hua knew that players who did this must exist, but since this is just a game, there are also the existence of forums, the existence of low-level mercenaries, and the benefits of cultivating low-level mercenaries, players who are a little interested will know. However, he is very interested in the players who enter the land of sin, but they cannot enjoy this benefit. It can only be said that fortunately his contribution was too low at the beginning and there were no strict screening conditions set.

After listening to the explanation of NPC, Xiao Hua had the idea of ​​cultivating a low-level mercenary, but NPCmm also made it very clear that cultivating mercenaries depends on whether the mercenary has the value of cultivation. Mercenaries with poor potential are just a waste of time to cultivate. Even if they have a high likelihood, the strength of the mercenary is not up to standard. Even if they work hard to cultivate and become followers in the end, they will not be of much value.

In this stack of mercenary information in Xiao Hua's hand, there are four low-level mercenaries, ranging from level 15 to level 38. According to npcmm, it is not difficult to improve the level of mercenaries, at least it is much easier than players. However, after reading the attribute information of these four mercenaries, Xiao Hua shook his head and did not recruit these mercenaries of no special features, but instead recruited a 68-level priest.

The strength of this priest is rated as F-level, so his strength is naturally not very good. He only knows the healing technique of a single body and the basic state halo skills. It is estimated that the healing effect is not much better. However, Xiao Hua recruits him mainly to mix the recruitment time and survival rate. As for the healing effect, as long as it is not strong enough to allow him to deal with a monster in a monster camp, he will not care much about it.

Although in the Land of Sin, due to the existence of monsters like the Red Robe Mage, Xiao Hua already has a solution that will prevent him from returning to the city to replenish the potion for a very long time!

"For three days of recruitment, the cost of this mercenary is 10,000 gold coins per day, and a total of 30,000 gold coins are required! Thank you for your patronage. The Mercenary Union has sent someone to notify this mercenary to come, please wait a moment. In addition, since it is your first time to recruit mercenaries, I have an obligation to remind you that when the recruitment time is over, the mercenary will automatically leave your team and return to the city. Your down-line time will be counted as a normal recruitment time, and when you are down-line, the mercenary will stay near the place where there will be no monster refresh. My personal suggestion is to return to the city, otherwise the mercenary may be attacked and died and then disappear."

After Xiao Hua handed over the list of mercenaries he decided to recruit and paid the 30,000 gold coins required for recruitment, npcmm gave him some suggestions that he didn't know.

"Okay." Xiao Hua nodded. These things are indeed something to pay attention to, especially if you want to train low-level mercenaries and die halfway through training. This is a headache.

After waiting for a few minutes, a middle-aged male priest with an ordinary appearance appeared and followed Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua led the mercenary to the attached pharmacy.

In the pharmacy, Xiao Hua bought a large pack of recovery potions. Then, Xiao Hua left the city, smiled, took out the crystal turtle shell, drilled in, and threw all the potions on his body on the ground of the crystal turtle shell!

This is the way he thought of to solve the problem of medicine. As long as the medicine is piled up in a room, no matter how fast the medicine is consumed, he doesn’t have to worry about not using it!

But things were not as beautiful as Xiao Hua thought.

When he returned to the city and bought the medicine in the pharmacy again, he found that only a small part of it was purchased, and there was no medicine for him to buy in the pharmacy store.

"Dear adventurer, the supply of medicines in the City of God's Punishment is tight. Your supply limit for today's medicines has reached. Please come again tomorrow."

The pharmacy owner said respectfully to Xiao Hua at this time.

Is there a limit on the supply of medicine in the Land of Sin?

Xiao Hua was shocked. He didn't know that there was something going on.

After carefully looking at the number of potions in the backpack, Xiao Hua suddenly realized that the number of potions he had purchased before seemed to be the number of spaces in his backpack. It seemed that everyone in the Land of Sin can only buy escorts that are equivalent to the amount that the backpack can accommodate every day.

"Forget it, it seems that when you encounter a monster with a powerful output, you still have to use the Forgotten Blade as your main weapon."

Seeing this, Xiao Hua could only give up the idea of ​​buying a large amount of potions, and then thought about it.

After the legendary Demon Blade uncovered the fourth seal, its attack power is much higher than that of the Forgotten Blade. During this day, in order to kill monsters more efficiently, Xiao Hua basically used the legendary Demon Blade to attack. The Forgotten Blade can only be used against monsters with powerful output, otherwise the potion will not need to be consumed. However, some monsters, such as the Red Robe Mage, Xiao Hua simply uses the blood-sucking attribute of the Forgotten Blade, but he still needs to use the potion together.

The magic shield of the Red Rou Master can withstand a large amount of damage. Xiao Hua's attack will actually not cause high damage to the Red Rou Master, while the Red Rou Master's attack is quite perverted. If Xiao Hua does not use potions, recovery will be a problem.

This red-robed mage is not something that a person can resist. Normally, if another player uses potions, he will not be able to add blood and can only rely on the priest to support him. This is why Xiao Hua wants to recruit a priest to help. If the priest recruitment is not too bad, he can fight against a red-robed mage without using the Blade of Forgetfulness or taking potions. However, if he wants to fight against multiple red-robed priests, he still needs a powerful priest to help recover.

"The tasks I take now are near the city. From now on, I come back every day to stock up on some potions in case of emergency."

After learning that the drug was purchased, Xiao Hua also had an idea in his mind.

It is obvious that with the strength of the monster in the Land of Sin, as long as the Allen continent outside is not able to enter the Land of Sin at any time, the potion will become an important material to limit the development of a team in the Land of Sin.

After making up his mind, Xiao Hua took the priest and mercenaries out of the City of Divine Punishment and walked towards the mission monster again. Due to his low contribution, the tasks he could take were still relatively low-level. They were basically near the city and it didn't take much time to go back and forth. This is also the reason why he decided to go back to the city every day to stock up on the potions. If he had to run for most of the day, he would definitely not do it.

Sitting outside the city and running quickly, Xiao Hua found that the mercenary was the same speed as him, so he didn't have to worry about the mercenary not being able to keep up. This made Xiao Hua feel much more relieved. If he followed the priest's movement speed, he might not be upset in a long time.

Despite this, it is still a dangerous thing to take mercenaries through places with many monsters. If you are not careful, mercenaries may be killed by monsters. So even though you can sneak, Xiao Hua still dared not move towards places with too many monsters to prevent mercenaries from suffering accidents.

Soon Xiao Hua arrived at the mission location and began to sweep the mission monsters.

The monster in this mission is a giant wood ape man, like a chimpanzee, with a huge hard wood in his hand. His attack power and attack range are very terrifying, and his defense is naturally not low. The only thing is that it is a monster that is not a magic attack type, which makes Xiao Hua feel much more at ease.

Monsters attacked by magic are rare in the Allen Continent. Apart from bosses, small monsters are mainly physical attacks and supplemented by magic attacks. When it is not important, small monsters rarely use magic attacks.

But in the Land of Sin, there are very few monsters that physically attack, and almost every monster can do magic attacks. Xiao Hua suffered a lot in these magic attack monsters.

Moving his body agilely, Xiao Hua avoided the attack of the giant wood ape man from time to time, and used the legendary magic blade to fight back. Although he was hit by this huge guy from time to time, the priest and mercenaries behind him would treat him in time. Although he could only add thousands of hp at a time, with the potion, Xiao Hua did not need to use the Forgotten Blade to simply kill the giant wood ape man.

For Xiao Hua, killing monsters quickly with the highest attack power to complete tasks and obtain skill fragment washing pk value is always the first priority. As for not using potions and hoarding a lot, Xiao Hua did not have this idea. Although hoarding potions has many benefits, it is not enough to make Xiao Hua deliberately do it. There is no harm in hoarding monsters during the killing process, so it doesn’t matter if there is not much left, then forget it.

In the next two days, Xiao Hua took the priest to continue to do missions and kill monsters, and traveled back and forth between the City of Divine Punishment and various mission locations.

During this period, Xiao Hua encountered another monster camp with a number of twelve times. However, looking at the five red-robed mages around the fire, Xiao Hua took a breath of air conditioning and gave up decisively.

He would definitely not be able to bear the attack of five red-robed mages. If he had taken a sneak attack, he would probably not be able to kill an enemy if the priest and mercenaries behind him were trapped in.

“The team is so important in the land of sin.”

When he retreated, Xiao Hua thought in his heart.

This place of sin is simply designed for the team, and even people who are so powerful like him must be careful here alone.

But this does not mean that he will never be able to deal with the monsters in the monster camp. As long as he can recruit more mercenaries, he will still have the strength to fight!

In the past two days, Xiao Hua went to the mercenary union every day to see which mercenaries were refreshed that day, and to see if there were any top-quality high-level or low-level mercenaries. No matter which one it was, he had the intention of recruiting.

However, his luck in recruiting mercenaries was not as good as that of monsters. Every day he spent monsters and tasks, he could hit more than 20 skill fragments and ten purple equipment. In a day, he could get hundreds of contributions and reduce the pk value by about one thousand, which was a very good result.

The probability of unbound skill fragments appearing very low. Xiao Hua only hit two unbound fragments in the past two days.

Mercenaries can be fired, but unfortunately Xiao Hua failed to meet the best mercenary he wanted. Otherwise, even if he fired the mercenary, he would not have hesitated to fire the priest and mercenary behind him without hesitation.

Unable to find the mercenary he wanted, Xiao Hua could only take the priest mercenary every day and work hard to travel back and forth.

Fortunately, this mercenary is an NPC. If it were a player, he would have been unable to keep up with Xiao Hua's pace.

Another day passed, and Xiao Hua still went to the task hall as usual, handed over the tasks, paid the items to obtain contributions and reduced the pk value, and went to the Mercenary Union as usual to check what kind of mercenaries were refreshed today.
To be continued...
