Chapter 170 Slaves join to strengthen the power
"8000 gold coins for one time... 8000 gold coins for two times... 8000 gold coins for three times... Deal, congratulations to guest No. 175 for winning three human adventurers."
"Next, let's start the auction of the next item, the Graystone Dwarf Hero..."
Following the voice of the fox female host, Mo Yu successfully captured the three Blue Star human adventurers at the price of 8000 gold coins.
To be honest, this price is not cheap.
The three Blue Star human adventurers are all ordinary first-level adventurers.
A good first-level soldier would only sell for a few dozen gold coins each, and there was no way that it could be sold at a high price of 8000 gold coins.
In fact, although adventurers have the status of players recognized by the world of conquest, they are only slightly more special than ordinary soldiers.
The specific features are as follows.
First, adventurers have higher growth potential.
They level up and break through by gaining experience points from killing monsters, which is easier than for ordinary soldiers.
At the same time, when adventurers level up, there is a chance to obtain a godsend reward for conquering the world.
Secondly, the adventurer's identity is special. He is freer than ordinary soldiers and has auxiliary tools such as backpacks and information panels.
But judging from the current situation, the strength of these three Blue Star human adventurers is just that of three goblins.
Therefore, it was difficult to arouse the interest of the lords present.
After all, as an adventurer, it is difficult to improve your strength quickly if you can't fight.
8000 gold coins is the maximum.
Following the adventurers, there appeared dwarf heroes and high-level soldiers one after another. The finale slave was a fifth-level warrior of the Moya tribe.
They are very special and are said to be hermaphroditic, which can satisfy the special fetishes of some people.
It feels kind of perverted anyway.
But what Mo Yu didn't expect was that there were quite a lot of people participating in the auction, and it was finally sold at a sky-high price of 53,000 gold coins.
With emotion, he quickly paid the money, took away the three slaves, and left the auction house with Salt.
Following the flow of people, he came to the city gate. After checking his credentials, Mo Yu stepped on the teleportation array and returned to the territory.
It was already past three in the afternoon when we returned to the territory.
Before I knew it, I had spent most of the day at the Black Rock Slave Camp.
Mo Yu ordered the messenger to call Da Zhuang, and then released all the ordinary slaves in the War Gate.
There are 36 ordinary slaves in total, all of whom are technical talents.
Among them, there are three mid-level technical talents, namely a fire giant architect who is good at building flaming stone throwing towers, a mechanical engineer who is good at mechanical manufacturing, and a mid-level chef from the multi-claw tribe.
The Blazing Catapult Tower built by the Fire Giant Architect is a fourth-tier rare-level defense tower, but the building materials are relatively expensive. One tower requires 500 stones, 500 mana, and a fire magic crystal.
Stone and magic power are easy to deal with, but magic crystals are difficult to obtain.
The Mechanical Engineer is a steam robot as tall as a human, named Wasinger.
Mo Yu bought it back in order to cooperate with Goblin Bramble, the arrogant Goblin Engineer.
The mechanical precision of the forgings made by the blacksmith department was difficult to meet Bramble's requirements, resulting in the development of the mining machine being delayed.
I believe that the arrival of Wasinger will be able to solve this technical problem.
At the same time, it can also study the data of the magical constructs of the Rune Empire and try to create those magical constructs.
Mo Yu strongly supports the research of science and technology and magic.
For a territory to develop, its military strength, scientific and technological strength, and logistical strength need to develop simultaneously.
As for the intermediate chef, it was purely because Mo Yu wanted to change the taste.
The existing chefs in the territory, whether they are goblins or Mrs. Ster, are terrible at cooking.
Even Da Zhuang is the best culinary artist in the territory, which shows how high his level is.
In order to improve the food, this mid-level chef was hired.
Moreover, it is not expensive, only 350 gold coins.
Except for three rare talents, the rest are general technical talents, totaling 33 people.
包含有农业类人才5名,畜牧类人才9名,建造类人才7名,管理类人才3名、魔法类4名以及其他类型的5名。
The arrival of these people has greatly filled the talent gap in the territory.
Mo Yu briefly introduced the territory to everyone and promised that if they performed well after a one-month observation period, their slave contracts would be terminated and they would become official citizens of the territory.
Suddenly, all the slaves seemed very excited.
But they had no idea that if everything went smoothly in the territory for a month, they would unknowingly become good citizens who obey the rules.
The spiritual transformation capabilities of the Library Civilization Faith are no joke.
He waved his hand and asked Da Zhuang to take these people away, teach them the rules, and settle them down.
One good thing about this large-scale slave market is that there are basically no troublemakers among the slaves sold.
Most of them have been trained by slave owners and are very honest.
Therefore, by absorbing these people, the territory will not have any hidden dangers.
As long as you stay there quietly for a few weeks, you will naturally integrate into the territory.
After dealing with this group of ordinary slaves, the only ones left were three adventurers of the same race.
Mo Yu opened the gate of war and released the three people.
As soon as the three Blue Star adventurers appeared, one of them knelt down on his own initiative, appearing very respectful.
As the goblin spearmen next to them moved forward with their guns, the other two were forced to kneel down.
Time was short, and although they felt that the lord's appearance had some characteristics of a Blue Star person, they did not have time to think about it.
After all, in this world, there are many human races other than the Blue Star humans.
Now that the power of life and death is in the hands of the lord in front of them, they don't have the courage to try to get close to him.
Mo Yu looked at the three people, two men and one woman.
Among the male adventurers, there is a white person, and the remaining man and woman are both of yellow race. They might be from Dragon Country.
Mo Yu didn't say anything. The three of them lay on the ground, not daring to move, holding their breath, afraid of making any mistake.
"Look up and tell us your name, nationality, occupation, and current abilities."
Hearing the pure Mandarin, the three of them widened their eyes in disbelief.
The lord in front of them actually came from the same place as them?
Several people's eyes suddenly showed ecstasy, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how cruel the other party is, they will not harm their compatriots!
One of the men was so excited that he was about to stand up.
"Kneel down. Did the Lord ask you to stand up?"
The goblin behind him kicked him directly, almost knocking him down.
When the other two saw this, they were suddenly startled.
"My name, nationality, occupation and ability. I don't want to repeat them a second time."
Feeling Mo Yu's cold gaze, the three of them shuddered together and knelt on the ground and answered obediently.
"Bertha, a native of the Ice Country, a mineral development engineer. Her talent as an adventurer is geological exploration, which allows her to detect the distribution of minerals in the ground 50 meters deep. Her current abilities are reconnaissance and concealment. Reconnaissance can detect information, while concealment reduces one's presence and can hide information at the same time."
The first person to speak was the only female among the three.
He is a bit strong and nearly 1.80 meters tall. As expected, he is from a fighting nation.
No wonder she wasn't auctioned off as a slave.
"Adventurer's talent?" Mo Yu was a little curious.
This group of people came to the world of conquest, and the talents they awakened should all be lord talents.
Could it be that there is someone else who can awaken the adventurer's talent as a lord?
Bertha said: "This was originally my lord talent. Because I lost my territory and became an adventurer, it degenerated into an adventurer's talent and the effect was weakened to 50 meters." Mo Yu nodded. This made sense.
It seems that conquering the world does not block people's way, and becoming an adventurer does not mean that there is no way out.
"Your talent seems pretty good. As for the slave camp... oh, it was because of our concealment that they were able to detect us."
Mo Yu immediately understood, as if he had gotten a small advantage and picked up a small leak.
Bertha took the initiative to display the information at this moment, obviously she had some ulterior motives.
No matter what, after all, we are all from the Blue Planet. If we show our value, we may have the opportunity to curry favor with others.
Mo Yu looked at the second person, who was the guy who was very excited just now.
He probably had some impression of this person, the one who was so scared that he became incontinent at the booth.
"Choi Jung-ri, a Korean, an agent at an entertainment company, with the ability of detective work."
Wow, a blank slate.
I originally thought he was from Sakura, but I didn’t expect he was from the neighboring country of Kimchi.
Seeing that Mo Yu didn't say anything, the third person, who seemed the calmest among the group, spoke.
"Zhong Han, a Dragon countryman, a soldier, skilled in reconnaissance and intermediate combat."
He spoke little and his words were concise.
But Mo Yu's eyes lit up, soldier brother.
The quality of these three people is not as bad as imagined. At least two of them are usable.
What caused a bad impression on everyone at the auction was probably the fact that Choi Jung-ri became incontinent on the spot.
Fortunately, otherwise Mo Yu might not be able to buy them.
"Get up!"
The warning had already been given, and after seeing that they realized the current situation, Mo Yu did not push them too far.
He sighed and said, "Everyone, I think you have a deep understanding of what kind of place this world is now."
"This is a cannibalistic world. Everyone is thinking about how to survive, including me."
"I bought you out of sympathy from my hometown people. But after spending so many resources, I don't want to buy back trash, and I don't want to buy back ungrateful people who repay kindness with hatred."
"So, the slave contract will continue, and you will also swear an oath of loyalty to me. This is good for me, and it will be good for you too."
"Let's get started. Who goes first?"
Mo Yu would not completely trust them just because they were all from Blue Star.
He must use all means to keep them firmly in his hands.
"I'll go first." Zhong Han spoke first.
Afterwards, he made a fierce oath that would strike him like thunder.
Zhong Han’s thoughts are simple. He is not good at developing territory or anything like that, so there is nothing wrong with him following Mo Yu now.
It's nice to stay cool under a big tree, and no matter what, the person in front of him really saved his life.
If it fell into the hands of other lords, it would probably become a battleground in the hands of the other party if one was not careful.
Mo Yu nodded and spent 1000 points of magic power to fulfill the oath.
Adventurers, it seems the price is a bit higher.
But it’s not a big problem, we have plenty of magic power now.
As for the followers, Mo Yu does not plan to include three of them for the time being.
Regardless of whether the other party is willing or not, he still has to take a look at these people and see if they are worthy of a follower position.
After all, followers are not just a means of control, but also proof of his confidants.
Ordinary people are not qualified yet.
Someone started it, and the next two people could only follow suit and make a vow.
The time was too short and Mo Yu did not give them any time to think. Even if they had ideas in their minds, there was no way they could do it.
After notarizing the oath, he thought about where the three of them would go.
It is definitely impossible to trust them 100% now, so we will not give them the right to act alone.
Among the three, Zhong Han, who is also a Dragon Countryman, doesn’t seem to have many worries and should be the easiest to integrate into the territory.
His training direction will definitely be military and combat.
Mo Yu planned to let him go to the military camp first, to be responsible for the training of soldiers, and at the same time, he could occasionally take him out for upgrades and training.
I don’t know if there are officers in the army, or if they have received any training in military tactics.
You can slowly understand it later.
Bertha, a little bit of thought, but not much.
You have the talent for prospecting for ores, so you can start by interning with Teemo.
Maybe we can consider bringing her together with Bruman.
Mrs. Ster and the fighting nation are two very similar nations, so perhaps there is still a good chance.
If we get married in the territory, I'm afraid we won't have any other thoughts at that time.
From this perspective, it seems that following Bruman is the most appropriate choice.
Cui Zhengli has the most thoughts but the least courage.
This guy is probably the one most likely to get into trouble.
Mo Yu planned to hand it over directly to Da Zhuang to suppress and wear him down.
Next, let him stay in the territory, follow Da Zhuang to do logistical work, and occasionally take him out to pick up spoils.
After thinking it over carefully, Mo Yu drew another pie for the three of them.
It's nothing more than words like I won't treat you unfairly, if you behave well you can remove the slave contract...this territory is very powerful...you will be right if you follow me.
After some PUA, Mo Yu asked the goblin spearmen to take them to find Da Zhuang.
The joining of the three Blue Star adventurers did not cause much waves, and everything in the territory remained the same.
……
In the afternoon, Mo Yu took Salt and rode Zuosi to the logging camp and the gold mine.
The main reason is that too much territory gold coins have been consumed and need to be replenished urgently.
After collecting the resources accumulated in the warehouse, Mo Yu had more than 6,000 gold coins and nearly 2,000 units of wood in his backpack.
Unfortunately, resource points in the wild can benefit from the BUFF of the Harvest Goddess, but not the bonus of the Harvest Tower.
With double the amount, it's barely ok.
At night, Timo's scout team also returned to the territory and reported the results of today's reconnaissance.
Got nothing.
No traces of hidden monsters were found around the territory.
Mo Yu decided to let Teemo guard outside the territory tonight, and it would be best to keep an eye on the refreshed monsters to see where they would go.
Subconsciously, he was very sure that there was definitely something strange.
According to the rules, the number of monster refreshes will increase, but in his territory, they are decreasing.
Could it be that I am really the chosen one and he intentionally lowered the difficulty for me?
Mo Yu shook his head and rejected the idea.
