My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 534: New team members, unexpected cuts!
Chapter 537 New team members, unexpected cuts!
A super-large human gathering place of about 30,000 people is still within a thousand kilometers of the depression.
As soon as he heard this "heavy news", Su Mo wanted to veto it directly.
After all, when the depression was transferred, the analysis of the camps on the map was done.
It can be clearly seen that most of the human gathering places are concentrated on the lower left side of the coast of the New World, together with many ordinary small tribes of different races.
Few humans dare to go to the middle of the New World, let alone to the upper right corner where the depression is now!
Being inside the mainland means that once a war breaks out, they will face the embarrassing situation of being attacked from behind.
In the absence of sufficient strength, there are hungry wolves behind and tigers in front, and they will be the prey of others wherever they go.
At the same time, without the supplementation of marine fish food inland, most humans cannot have enough food to transition to the recovery of crop production like the depressions.
Only a small group of people who think they are strong and have enough basic resources dare to go deep into the tiger's den and seek interests and development with the inland alien races.
And these people will definitely not expand their scale to the number of 30,000, causing a trend that cannot be lost.
"within a thousand kilometers"
"The distance we directly intersect from the coastline is about 1,600 kilometers to 1,800 kilometers, within this range"
Strive to recall the details recorded on the map, and after filtering out some useless corner maps, a vague map of terrain forces appeared in Sumo's mind.
Four powerful neighbors near the depression, several small tribes scattered outside the tree people, and a large gathering place of colorful medium-sized tribes.
In addition to this, there are still many places that temporarily belong to the land of no man.
From top to bottom, according to the scale of 30,000 people and the general situation of the terrain, Sumo began a detailed analysis.
A moment later, as the entire passage came to an end, when the two returned again, Su Mo raised his head thoughtfully:
"Hao Qiang, has this person told you the direction of this human gathering place?"
"Direction?" Hao Qiang was taken aback for a moment, then after thinking for a while, he said uncertainly: "When he yelled at me, I was afraid of revealing my identity, so I didn't have any communication with him, but he It seems that the direction of the mouth has been mentioned, let me think about it, it is probably the southeast direction?"
“Hiss”
One guess may be a coincidence, and the combination of two guesses may also be a conspiracy.
But when three, four, or even more guesses are put together, the cost of making a fake is undoubtedly far exceeding the fact itself!
With the depression as the center, draw a circle within a range of 1,000 kilometers.
North, west, east, the three directions are endless plains, which are most suitable for large forces to develop here.
Only in the south to the east, within a thousand kilometers, it is not like the terrain near the depression, it is full of wilderness.
Among the signs on the map, the southeast is almost all stretches of mountains, with a length of four to five hundred kilometers.
According to the thinking of normal people, these mountains are barren and desolate, basically cut off the communication with the outside world, it is indeed not a good place for development.
But if you change your perspective and become a "Tibetan", let alone 30,000 people, even 300,000 people will not have any problem!
"Go, take me there to see, what this person said may be true!"
"But the chances of us being found"
"No, we will not be discovered, Hao Qiang, you still haven't completely reversed your mentality, think about it, what is your identity now!"
Understanding one's own identity is the most important part of the lurking process.
And this was also the first class that Hao Qiang taught himself when Su Deben opened the latent class.
"The current identity?"
"Now I am."
Looking at his silver-white lower body, and then at the shimmering blue mark on his arm, Hao Qiang was startled for a moment, and then his eyes quickly became enlightened.
From the perspective of a lurker, in the enemy camp, seeing his own people being captured, he would be born afraid of revealing his identity, so the mentality of thinking about the problem will immediately return to the state before the lurk.
But if you think about it carefully, from the perspective of the Demon Soul Clan, a super-large human gathering place of 30,000 people is indeed a "sweet pastry" that may exist.
"With his current ostentatious attitude of yelling at everyone, there is no need to guess"
"I guarantee that when he appeared in this place, this news must have been known to many people, and even the real location of the gathering place he said must have been told to more than one person"
"But until now, no one has redeemed him, and let him work hard here to solicit customers, which proves that the value of this news is not equal to his contribution"
"Hao Qiang, don't look at the demons and souls who are as clumsy as children learning to walk in the market, but when it comes to the choice of interests, we can't catch up with these people even if we flatter them!"
It’s like talking to yourself, and it’s like teaching on the spot.
By the time he completely walked out of the exchange, Sumo had completely become interested in the super-large human gathering place that this human said.
It is true that it spans hundreds, even nearly a thousand kilometers.
For people like the Demon Soul Clan, no matter how much profit there is, the initial investment alone will require an unimaginable amount.
The people who can afford this amount of money, counting the names and surnames in the city, are nothing more than the top ten exchanges, the guards, and a few scattered people who are considered to be somewhat talented.
For the top ten exchanges, the benefits brought by 30,000 ordinary humans may not be as much as crushing a peer, so there is no need to take this risk.
As far as the guards were concerned, the complicated situation in the city and the relentless pursuit of the Bright Empire outside the city had already caused them enough distress, and they had no intention of caring about the whereabouts of these humans.
As for the rest of the casual people, they will not invest money in it.
Compared with other people, their money is the most difficult to come by. On weekdays, they can't wait to break a dollar in half and spend it in half. How can they invest money in such a bottomless pit full of risks.
Such a total, this super-large gathering place in the mouth of the captive human mouth has become what everyone wants, but no one is willing to pay.
Bad!
"Hey, Lord Hal, this is."
"Oh, he is the new shopkeeper in my shop. I just heard him say that someone in your alien sales said that he has news about a large human gathering place. I am very interested in this!"
Out of the remote exchange, he walked all the way back to the gate of the exchange that Hao Qiang said, and the servants greeted him skillfully.
Hearing about Su Mo's coming, the servant did not show any surprised expression, instead he laughed with a sense of pity and a sense of strangeness:
"Oh, Lord Hal, I'm really sorry, this person has been on sale here for five or six days, and the price is not too high. Many people have seen it, but no one bought it"
"When your shopkeeper first arrived, he also knew that his brain was not suitable, and most people just wanted to have a good time and take a look."
"Unfortunately, Lord Shi Nin, the external manager of our Liberty City, came over just now, and no one asked for it, so he picked this person away, which is true"
Passing his head, the servant said while quietly making a gesture to his shopkeeper behind him.
In Liberty City, those who do business in the outer city will be a level higher than those in the inner city because they face greater pressure from competition and cater to more people.
Similarly, people who do serious business in the city will be a level higher than those who sell mercenaries in these inner cities.
Adding the two together, even though they are all merchants who sell things, the identity of the firewood exchange shopkeeper is still far higher than that of the ordinary mercenary exchange shopkeeper.
I was thinking about the past, because I saw a mercenary at the same time, two noble people fought in the inner city, causing a lot of trouble.
Immediately, the shopkeeper of Mingtang Exchange came up wiping his sweat.
Just like the servants, the shopkeeper is straightforward, offering today's 10% discount without saying anything, which is full of sincerity at the beginning.
"It's such a pity, but I'm just interested. Since Manager Shi Nin likes it, it's okay!"
Laughed awkwardly, Su Mo showed a look of displeasure, but could only force a smile.
The next moment, after walking into the exchange and taking Hao Qiang to wander around again, Su Mo walked out of the exchange with a "gloomy" face.
Through the entire performance, although Su Mo didn't say anything, anyone who saw him could find that he was holding back his anger.
And this just fits Hal's character of being hot-tempered and fond of fighting when things get upset.
However, after walking all the way to the back of the street corner where there were few people, and entering the interior of Hal's so-called "high-end" exchange again, Su Mo's expression instantly returned to normal.
"Boss, the person was actually bought, could it be"
"Don't worry, I have contacted Shi Nin, he will not be interested in this person, it is more likely."
Half of speaking, Su Mo stopped suddenly, and fixed his eyes on the cage with the wooden sign marking the information.
Different from the ordinary mercenaries seen on other exchanges, after coming to these high-end exchanges, although the price has more than doubled, the quality has also improved several levels.
First of all, in terms of living, the residence here is not a small cubicle with a size of only three square meters, and it is difficult to turn around.
Everyone who can be here is assigned a small residence with a full eight to ten square meters and all living facilities.
Besides the fence used to separate the walks at the door, and the iron chains on the feet and hands of each mercenary, the mental state of them living here is obviously much better.
In the first few exchanges, most of them were physical labor mercenaries, and only occasionally saw an intelligent one, and the price was extremely expensive.
Here, for the first time, Su Mo finally saw the so-called "all-rounder".
"You used to be a fourth-tier professional, but because the template was forcibly stripped off, all the resources were given to your brother, and now you have lost all your strength and become an ordinary mercenary."
"You are good at small-scale battles, latent operations, basic business operations, and basic butler services"
"The master you desire is someone who has drive, is not satisfied with the current life, and promises to release him after five years of employment"
"Your price is four thousand contribution points!"
As Su Mo recited the message on the wooden sign word by word, the thin man imprisoned on the stool inside raised his head, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.
It is different from other mercenaries who kneel on the ground and beg him to take him out once they see a strong person, and don't even bother to lift their faces when they see a weak person.
The man's attitude is very correct, and he is very clear about his identity as a prisoner.
Even though his eyes were full of resistance, facing Su Mo's scrutiny, he still showed himself as much as possible.
"Can I ask you a question?"
Between guests and mercenaries, a short dialogue can be held during selection to determine the compatibility of both parties.
However, there are also some people who look down on each other and will choose to keep silent and pretend to be dumb so as not to be picked up by the buyer.
Facing Su Mo's question, the man froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"What is the one thing you most want to do?"
"What do you want to do most?"
It seems that Su Mo did not expect Su Mo to use such a question as the opening statement between the two of them, and the draft prepared by the man before could not be used.
However, after reacting for a moment, he said decisively: "What I want to do the most, of course, is to have revenge and revenge. I want everyone to know that what I lost, I will get it back with my own hands. !”
"Very good, you have been selected by me, I will take you to go through the formalities later!"
Wow!
As soon as the man's voice fell, Su Mo replied on the back foot, and pressed the selected button on the fence.
With the sound of the button's beeping, a stone caused a thousand waves, and in the other cells that were originally quiet, there was an unavoidable commotion.
At the same time, some bold people poked their heads out, curiously looked at what kind of person they were, and bought their "colleagues".
"Are you going to buy me now?"
"Why, don't you need to pass your test to buy you?"
After the button sounded, the servant in charge of the transaction moved very quickly. In less than half a minute, the figure appeared at the end of the cell.
Looking at the smile on the servant's face, the man clearly realized Sumo's identity, which was not as ordinary as the template showed.
"No, no, I mean, if you're going to buy me, you'd better consider them!"
"They are strong, stronger than what is recorded!"
In just a moment, the man quickly changed his position and began to think about his master.
Regarding this, Su Mo turned his head curiously, and began to walk forward along the position pointed by the man.
A long while.
As up to 34,000 contribution points were debited from Turner's account, and after a pleasant sound of crediting into the account, the mercenary exchange was finally a preliminary success.
"Master Hal, these mercenaries, do you think we will handle the formalities for you, or you will handle them yourself"
"I have already arranged the person. If you take it away now, we can go through the formalities right away!"
More than 30,000 contribution points, not too much in this Liberty City.
But considering that Su Mo is not like everyone else, taking it back as a stock, buying today and selling it tomorrow, then the 30,000 points is a real profit.
Faced with such a huge sum of money, considering several reasons, even if there is a shadow of a guard behind this exchange, their attitude is sufficiently humble.
"Let's deal with it together, I just have to deal with him too!"
Pointing to Hao Qiang beside him, after confirming other procedures, a group of several people began to walk to the inside of the street.
Along the street with seven turns and eight turns, after arriving at a so-called place that only handles large-value transactions, the formalities began to be processed quickly.
From the authority management of all mercenaries, to Hao Qiang's identity modification fine, the whole process was successfully completed with only one thousand contribution points, which can be described as extremely convenient.
At the same time, half an hour after the formalities were completed.
The seven mercenaries purchased by the group were sent to the office quickly through express procedures.
From left to right, there are a total of five men and two women. The template uniformly adopts the first-order arm modification attached to the exchange.
Looking at their new boss, everyone looked anxious with a hint of surprise.
Obviously, on the way here, they already knew the identity of the master.
"Hal, can these people do it? I don't think they are stronger than those traitors in our family!"
Fur ear is next to Somo, Turner, who has just paid a huge sum of money, looks distressed~IndoMTL.com~ You know, the total price of the seventeen mercenaries purchased before is only two thousand!
Now, the number of people has doubled, but the price has increased by more than ten times.
It's completely different from the brand-new look and distinctive feeling that you imagined. The seven of them don't seem to have any characteristics, just like a big-ticket item that can be bought for a few hundred points in an ordinary exchange.
"Don't worry, you have to use it to know whether you are a mediocrity or a genius, but in terms of loyalty, at least we don't have to worry about what we ate today, and someone will know it in the next second!"
After accepting the official stamping procedures of the seven people and Hao Qiang, and putting him in his arms, Su Mo had a long-lost smile on his face.
In terms of ability, these mercenaries may only be regarded as mid-level, not outstanding.
But when it comes to loyalty, Su Mo believes that as long as a certain degree of reasonable training is passed.
These people will all become sharp knives in his hand!
When the time comes, even the Demon Soul Clan, Liberty City, will be completely pierced by this sharp knife with hatred, leaving only ruins!
