Chapter 216 The Beast Tide Arrives
Somehow, other city-states also knew about the hot sales of Xuantian City's Body Tempering Pills.
However, it was soon reported that the pharmacy manager had high-level talent and could now produce Body Tempering Pills, and they themselves needed the Body Tempering Fruit as salary.
This made many people quite disillusioned. It turned out that the term "advanced" was not for nothing. They were the first to refine the Body Tempering Pill.
On the other hand, low-level and mid-level NPCs may be better. By consuming more quenching fruits, you can still refine a little. Low-level NPCs are simply a bottomless pit, or the chance of successful refining is extremely low.
Who wouldn’t want a pill that can improve one’s strength?
The city lords who had no money or were reluctant to spend money at the time were about to cry. If they had known earlier, they would have sold everything they had to hire a high-level talent NPC.
As the city lord, Lu Jiu undoubtedly received orders from other city lords. However, one tempering fruit in the city can be exchanged for eight pills, but these purchases can only be exchanged for five.
Even so, the city lords have to buy, because only Xuantian City is willing to trade with them, and other city-states can hardly meet the supply standards.
Receiving batch after batch of tempering fruits, Lu Jiu was so happy that he almost rolled over.
She took a pen and paper and registered each one. "Now, for these transactions, you pay a portion first, and then continue the transaction for the remaining portion after receiving the pills for that portion."
The transaction is still a cash-on-delivery transaction, so the city lords don't have to worry about being cheated of their supplies.
Shen Jufeng was flipping through the city's bills, "How many Refining Fruits did you collect today?"
Lu Jiu: "Two thousand. I only accept this much per week. Forget the extra and wait for the next batch."
It takes time for the two store managers to refine the pills, not to mention that there is a need for them in the city.
Shen Jufeng put the bill away and said, "Aren't there too few alchemists at present? If the city-state continues to upgrade, will it be too difficult to rely solely on the store manager to refine important pills?"
Although these are NPCs, it does not mean that NPCs can refine potions infinitely, just like a forging shop manager cannot make hundreds of weapons in a day.
Lu Jiu bent his index finger and placed it on his lower lip. "I've thought about this. When they hired people, they required the store manager to be a high-level NPC. The other apprentices were low-ranking and were considered helpers. I'll ask them later if they can hire an alchemist who isn't the store manager."
She now likes to chat with several store managers whenever she has time. Senior NPCs have their own thoughts, and since they have thoughts, they have likes and dislikes.
After all, it won't hurt to get along well with NPCs.
Shen Jufeng knew about her operation and had been able to get "inside" information from NPCs several times. "It would be great if I could know the scale of the beast tide."
Lu Jiu snorted and laughed, "You are even more naive than me. How could the NPCs tell me this?"
At most, he would tell her some small news. The beast tide was such important news, how could he possibly remind her? Moreover, the signs of the coming beast tide were obvious.
She glanced at Shen Jufeng's expression and immediately changed the subject, "Speaking of which, the beast tide is about to besiege the city, and we should also consider executing the plan to get rid of Li Qiao."
The woman hasn't made any move so far. It's impossible that she has been defeated, but she also wants to find a way to deal with the beast tide.
Shen Jufeng: "Don't you have a plan? And I think the success rate of implementing it is about 90%."
Li Qiao was someone they definitely needed to get rid of.
However, Lu Jiu did not feel sorry for this. The woman had done so many evil things, so she should have expected this outcome.
Li Qiao, who was far away in Changyuan City, was still preparing to deal with the beast tide. Now the outside of the city was full of wild monsters.
Her city-state is under her sole jurisdiction, and the strength improvement of professional players here is restricted. In order to preserve strength, Li Qiao did not let these people go out to clear the wilderness.
She had to wait until the beast tide really came before gathering strength to deal with it.
·
About three days later, the beast tide came.
Lu Jiu was awakened by the warning that the protective shield was under attack.
[System prompt: The protective shield is under attack. Please pay attention to replenish the defense times at any time.]
The protective shield of a third-level city-state can withstand one million attacks, but it has suffered more than a thousand attacks in just a few seconds.
She suddenly stood up. The beast tide had arrived in the middle of the night! She was so angry that she wanted to give the system the middle finger.
She immediately emailed several teammates to inform them of the incident and told them to knock on their doors later if they didn't see her.
After getting dressed, I immediately sent a group email to notify every resident.
It was already past two in the morning. Without mobile phones or televisions, not many people in the city stayed up late. Only a few people got up to check what was going on.
As soon as Lu Jiu opened the door, she saw Shen Jufeng already standing in front of her door.
"I've already called Zhuang Yun, let's go to the boarding house to find Yong Lin later." Shen Jufeng immediately stood up and called his teammates after seeing the email.
Lu Jiu nodded, "Okay, but I'll still resist the beast tide this way as the city lord."
This is difficult to decide. They are now a well-known team in the city, and many people know her. It would be strange if she didn't show up.
Shen Jufeng: “Let’s use this look first and make a decision based on the specific situation outside.”
Lu Jiu followed his advice and decided not to change her image.
Zhuang Yun opened the door and came out after a while. His daughter was still sleeping at home and he didn't want her to worry.
"Why is the beast tide coming at this time?" It's really torture, they also need sleep.
Lu Jiu was also helpless, "Who knows, let's go find Yong Lin."
When I arrived at the lodging house where Yong Lin was staying, I found that Yong Lin was already waiting at the door on the first floor.
Seeing his three teammates approaching, he immediately stepped forward and said, "I just looked outside the city gate. It's densely packed with monsters. It extends all the way into the forest, and there are monsters everywhere."
He got up and walked around the city wall, only to find that there were wild monsters all around, ranging in levels from ordinary to bronze.
Lu Jiu looked serious. You know, the scope of the fields in their city-state has expanded now, and most of these wild monsters are still in the forest. It is really unknown how long it will take to deal with them.
Lu Jiu immediately flapped his wings and reached the city wall first, followed closely by his three teammates.
After reaching the city wall, the patrol NPCs with long-range attacks were already on standby, and the melee ones were guarding the city gate. They couldn't go out at this time, and it wouldn't be too late to send them out when cleaning up.
Special torches have been lit on the city walls. The torches in the game world are very bright, and rows of them almost illuminate half of the city.
Lu Jiu also clearly saw the situation under the city wall, there were all kinds of wild monsters flying in the sky and running on the ground.
There were more than a dozen of her favorite blue bull BOSSes gathered here alone.
Shen Jufeng was not in a hurry, and he jokingly said leisurely and elegantly: "The steak you like is downstairs."
Lu Jiu had a sour face. These steaks were not what she wanted at the moment. "There are too many wild monsters. We can only use the city defense weapons to deal with some of them first, and then ask the ranged professional players to deal with them."
Shen Jufeng: "Melee is also possible. Use your wings to deal with them, even if you have to deal with flying monsters first."
