Chapter 232 231. Once again, making the best use of things is really a virtue! [Ask for monthly tickets of 610]

"This is quite formal, it feels exactly like an interview when you are working."

When the sun rose, Old Chen, who had changed into an intern administrator's outfit, went to work with the Executive Yuan, playing with the psychic dog tag and calculation orb in his hand, and left here under the guidance of his two students.

His outfit, which was very similar to a casual suit, was designed and made by another famous manufacturing player "Gentle and Generous Lady Shui" and her apprentices, and has been unanimously recognized by the glorious Transian civil servants.

And Lady Shui received more than 1,000 gold coins from this design task alone.

This is enough to prove that the manufacturing industry seems to be the "son of the version" of the current version.

And Professor Chen also has a new understanding of this game. Just now, he talked with Archon Miriam and Professor Malcolm for a while, and easily conquered the two chief officers with his solid professional knowledge of decades.

Especially Professor Malcolm.

He is a genuine professor of the Shardo Artisan University, so he can tell the difference between a true master and a charlatan at a glance.

Therefore, when Old Chen left, Professor Malcolm had already begun to call him "Master", and Archon Miriam did not hesitate to grant the "old man on the construction site" the very formal title of "Chief Architect of Transia" and the full authority to oversee the planning and construction of the territory.

This made Professor Chen a "top horse" in the administrative profession, surpassing the three brothers, the mud truck, the shovel and the full-risk semi-trailer, but the three brothers had no complaints about this, after all, Old Chen was a really capable boss.

The only problem now is that Old Chen is essentially still a player. Although he came to Transia to "guide the work", his career path still had to follow the routine of "killing monsters and upgrading".

"8 points of thinking, 6 points of charm, and five character specialties. Teacher, this is the starting template of the 'chosen one.'"

The gray man squinted his eyes and looked at the character interface projected on the calculation orb in Lao Chen's hand. Although it was also 30 points, this situation of a certain value being full is still very rare among today's young players.

Even rarer are Lao Chen's five character specialties:

[Architect Master], [Design Master], [Educator], [Well-informed·Charm Judgment +2] and [Learned·Learning Ability X1.5 times, Learning Time -20%. ]

There is no combat specialty here, but it is definitely the ceiling level of the administrative profession.

The most amazing thing is that Lao Chen is probably the only player in the game who was born with a "profession". His main profession in the three profession columns was fixed as "architect" at birth. After switching to the administrative profession, his second secondary profession also became "reserve village chief".

"I've worked on construction sites all my life, isn't it normal to have these characteristics?"

Faced with the surprise of the plasterer and the bricklayer, the old professor himself looked calm.

Although he didn't say it, he was actually very satisfied in his heart.

In particular, the respectful attitude of the two NPCs greatly satisfied his self-esteem as an intellectual. He himself was also a master, and he could easily judge whether the person on the other side was really capable or a fool.

Miss Miriam was obviously a little awkward, but Professor Malcolm was definitely an academic researcher like him.

It is said that he is a professor of history in the three universities in this game. No wonder talking to him always feels like attending a seminar in school.

"Oh, in your words, the map is not open yet, otherwise I really want to go to the Chardo Artisan University to take a look. What is the difference between this and our university?"

Old Chen was in a good mood, and he glanced at his main task.

Although he had just entered the game, the first task he triggered was to make a general plan for the construction of five collective farms. This difficulty has crushed all the tasks that have appeared in the game so far.

But this is nothing to Old Chen, he has done similar work many times before.

Designers of his era always have to do a lot of practical work. Although they are always ridiculed by the new generation as having no style and no imagination, from a pragmatic point of view, Murphy would rather use 100 postmodern designers to exchange for a pragmatic Professor Chen.

"Let's go, let's go to the designated areas of those farms first."

Old Chen waved his hand and planned to walk.

But the plasterer had already arranged for his mentor. A black carriage that was not luxurious but very practical stopped at the gate of the Executive Yuan. The plasterer's two assistants, the sisters Pallene, and his three apprentices were waiting by the carriage.

"This is my mentor, Professor Chen, a true master of architecture."

The plasterer proudly introduced his apprentices and assistants. The five of them saluted Old Chen in unison, but the old man easily found that the two girls who looked very similar seemed to be closer to his apprentices.

He shook his head and glared at the plasterer fiercely.

Obviously, he, who was a man of character, could not stand this kind of behavior.

But the Grayman also had his difficulties. He really didn't want to do anything weird. As the player's chicken was controlled by Mr. Murphy, he didn't have the ability to do bad things even if he wanted to!

"Teacher, I will apply for a guard for you."

The brick mover had realized that something was wrong, and immediately ran away, shouting:

"The Archon has specially assigned you two elite witch hunters as guards. I'll go get them for you. We'll meet at the farm."

He ran away in a flash, leaving only the gloomy old professor and his students on the carriage.

The scolding along the way made the gray man miserable, and he felt more and more that it was a wrong choice to drag the teacher into the game.

But it's too late to regret now.

——

In the next few days, everything went according to plan.

The combat professional players cleared the jackals in the wild very quickly, and with their level increase and skilled cooperation, the 30-man team of Happy Stick alone has successively selected several large nests, and other individual players have also taken the initiative to form teams to attack similar places.

They soon discovered the second fun of this activity besides the scoreboard.

You see, the main role of the jackals in Transia is the robbery of the house, right?

Since they are bandits, they must have prey!

Although the jackals' style of robbing is to take both people and money, and for them, robbing is only to meet the most basic physiological needs, that is, to fill their stomachs, but over time, the loot in some jackal bandit nests has accumulated to a considerable level.

The chaotic state of Transia does not provide the jackals with a channel to "sell stolen goods". Even the craziest underground gangs dare not do business with the jackals. Who knows when they will become meat in the jackal pot?

In this case, when players capture some large nests, the subsequent search can bring them extremely rich "profits".

Although there is not much currency in it and occasionally you can find "suspicious meat", which is a terrifying thing, but the loot found in the nest can be exchanged for money from NPCs!

This is too much!

Not only can you brush the points pool, but you can also explode gold coins?

Oh, the jackal brothers are so polite!

"These things are of ordinary value, but they can indeed be used in the reconstruction of Scarlet Castle. Warriors, this is the reward you deserve!"

At the edge of the Dark Barony, in the temporary camp established by the Cadman People's Army, Maxim, who came with the new recruits to train, handed a bag of gold coins to the three eager little players in front of him and watched them turn around and leave with a smile.

Maxim's face helmet showed a very strange and helpless expression.

He looked back at the three large boxes brought by the three little players on a cart. The dried blood stains on them proved that these must be the spoils found in the jackal's lair. In the boxes were piles of fabrics that were a little damp because they were not well preserved. They should be handmade cloth rolls from the Ice Bay area.

There was also a box of preliminarily tanned leather, which was in very good condition.

These three boxes of things could be sold for about 60 gold coins in the former Cadman City. The box of leather alone could be sold for 40 gold coins, and this was the purchase price. But just now he only gave the little players 10 gold coins plus dozens of silver coins, which was enough to make them smile.

"It's really useful."

Maxim sighed in a low voice and asked his quartermaster to register these supplies into the warehouse.

At the entrance of the camp, a team of dusty recruits were returning with several black iron-level jackals tied up with ropes. They were all supporters seconded to the Happy Stick team this morning. Looking at the appearance of these recruits, it can be seen that their battle was not easy.

Fortunately, there were not many casualties.

It seems that the warriors abided by the agreement and did not use the recruits as cannon fodder.

This discovery made Maxim more satisfied.

Although Lord Murphy's warriors are very useful, their number is too small. In order to truly defend the territory, elite local soldiers must be trained.

This siege of the jackals came at the right time. The 300 people of the Cadman People's Army must go through this actual combat test before they can be given a more important mission.

Maxim intends to train the loyal and brave soldiers he brought up personally as future commanders. Once the captured armed blood servants are sent back, large-scale army building will be put on the agenda.

With these 300 veterans who have experienced the Cadman disaster and various actual combats as the main body of the new army, Maxim is confident that he can train a capable army for Lord Murphy before the black disaster comes.

"My Lord, the new batch of gladiators is enough."

The heir named Norbert came to report to Maxim. At dusk, he wrapped himself tightly to avoid direct sunlight, and said in an uncomfortable hoarse voice:

"The people of the Blood Rat Gang are here to receive it. Ms. Dorothy wants to talk to you. She said she has a mission from Count Murphy."

"Hmm?"

Maxim made a puzzled nasal sound.

He assigned Norbert a task and then went to make contact. At this time, there were four carriages parked behind the camp, with metal cages on the carriages. Soldiers were putting the captured elites and Black Iron Jackals into the cages.

These fierce guys were injected with weakness potions, enough to ensure that they would not cause trouble before being sent to the Fighting Club.

Some guys wearing black uniforms and looking shifty were holding whips and standing guard. These were the newly recruited members of the Blood Rat Gang, and their leader "Razor" Dorothy was leaning against the first carriage, playing with a strange-shaped short knife out of boredom.

Maxim had never seen such a strange short blade.

That thing was obviously a recurve blade made to imitate an eagle's claw. There was a ring at the end, which looked quite weird. Dorothy put the claw knife on her finger like a butterfly piercing a flower, showing off her strong hand skills.

She quickly noticed Maxim's eyes, and generously threw the black claw knife with annealing technology and beautiful moire over, letting the vampire warrior hold it in his hand.

"A very good weapon, right? It suits the assassin's style very well. I occasionally saw the mountain blacksmiths making similar weapons in the camp, so I ordered 50 of them for my subordinates to use.

I call it 'Rat Paw' as the new symbol of the Blood Rat Gang. "

Dorothy put her hands on her hips and said something, and then whispered to Maxim:

"You are the operator of the Fight Club. Tonight is the opening day of the second gladiatorial tournament. Why don't you return to the city and take charge personally?"

"I have more important tasks, and you also promised to run that place well. If you can't do it, it proves that you are worthless! In Transia, ruled by Master Murphy, worthless guys can't live long. .

The kindness of the master is a virtue of a superior person, but unfortunately, I do not possess it. "

As Maxim moved his fingers, he held the claw knife in the air and made a piercing whistle.

He made a few combat moves and was very satisfied with this vicious weapon. He seemed to have seen its fierce posture when it sliced ​​through the enemy's throat, and he conveniently put it into the combat bag on his waist.

He raised his head and said to Dorothy:

"Tell me, what's your mission?"

"It's a very strange mission."

Dorothy curled her lips and whispered to her temporary superior:

“It was some warriors from the adults who found me and asked me to cooperate with them in doing something.

They brought a strange jackal with them, saying that it was Lord Murphy's new servant. They wanted me to resell the jackal gladiator that had survived three battles to them at a low price and give it to the weird jackal who was thin and could talk. Used by people to form clans.

I don't know what your lordship means.

But this kind of thing has never happened in Transia in the past, so I will take the opportunity of receiving the gladiator to ask you.

I heard that you are Lord Murphy's most trusted person. Maybe you can explain to me the deeper meaning of this matter? "

"Lord Murphy's warriors are supremely loyal. You don't have to doubt them. They said it was the lord's order, and you just have to carry it out."

Maxim shook his head and said:

"If the lord thinks you shouldn't know, then there's no need for you to come and ask me."

"But I'm actually not interested in the truth. I just want to find someone to blame."

Dorothy shrugged and said straightforwardly:

"Look, I reported it to you, so if this causes trouble later, it's not my fault. This is the survival rule for us underground rats."

"Such cunning is not the work of a warrior."

Maxim waved his hand and said:

"But this has nothing to do with me. I'm just taking care of you temporarily. When Adele comes back, you will be her trouble. How is the situation on the third floor of the sewer now?"

"same as usual."

Dorothy pouted and said:

"All the warriors who are not afraid of death have come to exterminate the gnolls. The ghouls on the third underground floor are left unattended. They have been wandering around and occasionally rush up to the second floor. This is the second reason why I came to you.

I hope you can assign some veterans to form a defensive line over there on the second floor.

The new recruits under my command are all novices, and it is a bit difficult for them to deal with ghouls. "

"I said, worthless guys can't live long."

Maxim said coldly:

"I will give you thirty veterans, but they will only do defense. It is your blood rat gang's task to clean up the ghouls. You must find a way to complete it! We have cleared out all the leaders of the underground ghouls. All that remains are stragglers.

If you can't even pass this level, what qualifications do you have to serve Mr. Murphy? "

"Ah this."

Dorothy was a little confused by Maxim's arrogant and unreasonable attitude, and she asked:

"But shouldn't loyalty be rewarded? I'm just asking for help. I can't do this."

"Reward? Loyalty itself is the best reward you can get!"

Maxim interrupted her question and said:

"You have to find a way to complete your work yourself! This is non-negotiable. If you really don't know what to do, you might as well ask those warriors for help. Aren't they asking for your help?

But you have to be careful.

If you can't give them the rewards they deserve, the results won't be good. "

"?"

Dorothy blinked, she seemed to understand what Maxim meant.

A few hours later, in the sewers of the Scarlet Castle, in the Blood Rat Gang stronghold near the Fight Club where this week's gladiator competition was about to begin, Dorothy, who had returned from the dusty journey, was playing with her Talon Knife while looking at her eyes. Ashina and Lumina.

she says:

"You want those elite gladiators who can survive three games, of course I can give them to you without even requiring you to pay. But you have also seen that my Blood Rat Gang is currently seriously short of manpower, and Lord Murphy asked us to solve it The ghoul who fell from the third floor underground.

This bothers me greatly. "

The cunning thief sister put her hand on the calculation orb on her chest, blinked and said to the little player in front of her:

"So, let's make a deal."
