6:10 in the morning.
Zhao Mingwei is in the base of the Leaping Nuclear Guild... Not only is he in the base of the Leaping Nuclear Guild, but the more terrifying thing is that Mo Shigui has given him the qualification to manage the base.
What made Zhao Mingwei most frustrated was that all the members of the Leaping Nuclear Guild agreed with this decision, and they shouted, "Xiao Ye, why don't you just come to our guild?" "How about you come to our Leaping Nuclear Guild to play when the personnel changes next season?"
Faced with the enthusiasm of the members of the Leaping Nuclear Guild, Zhao Mingwei could only smile bitterly and did not respond.
If Zhao Mingwei was three or four years younger, perhaps he would be very impulsive and go to the Nuclear Club for the championship.
After all, Leaping Nuclear is now the strongest club in China. If he joins, he should be confident that he can challenge for the world championship again.
But Zhao Mingwei no longer wants to treat disputes as his job, and he does the same as his fans criticized him: "You've already won the championship, so just retire."
In the game of Holy Spirit, Zhao Mingwei experienced the long-lost fun. No one urged him to do something, but he wanted to do something in this game.
Although Zhao Mingwei knew some truths about this game, he still enjoyed playing Holy Spirit.
Zhao Mingwei was currently sitting on the temporary watchtower built by the Leaping Nuclear Guild, checking strategy.
The only thing that makes Zhao Mingwei a master in this game is his operational skills, but a true master also needs to have a thorough understanding of the game.
The version of Holy Spirit is updated too quickly, especially the update of the stronghold system, which may have turned a lot of players who were previously considered Holy Spirit masters into newbies.
However, Zhao Mingwei was not very concerned about the management of the stronghold. After all, there was another person named Yu Zhongqu online who was the manager of the stronghold, and he himself was just a figurehead.
Now most of the elite management of the Leaping Nuclear Guild have gone offline. The end of the May Day holiday heralds the arrival of the summer season. Three days later, the first game of the summer season of Conflict will begin.
The first game was between Nucleus and Reign.
Mo Shigui is the coach of Leaping Core. After the game started, he certainly didn't have much time to devote to the Holy Spirit. On the contrary, Zhao Mingwei, who was a substitute, had a lot more free time.
Zhao Mingwei is now busy reading the strategy guide on the forum in order to figure out the Holy Spirit's base system.
After the Holy Spirit's base system was launched, the forum was in an uproar. Whenever Zhao Mingwei refreshed the page, he would see one or two posts praising the Holy Spirit, as well as a bunch of posts asking how to play the base system and show off their own works.
"After building the stronghold today, I feel like I have changed into a new game" Posted by: Mo Dao Jianke.
"The blueprint of the guild tavern in the base! Come and see my work." Posted by: Guqiu Sanyue.
Zhao Mingwei would take a quick look at these posts, close them, and then refresh the page...until Zhao Mingwei refreshed to a new post.
"This game has been secretly updated again! A new building for the talent market has been added to the default construction sequence of the stronghold!" Posted by: Frontline Reporter.
Talent market? Zhao Mingwei swiped his finger, and the main menu of the game appeared at his fingertips. Zhao Mingwei directly clicked to enter the stronghold construction mode.
A lot of windows popped up, the properties of the stronghold was the most conspicuous window, and there was a row of default buildings below the stronghold.
These buildings are prepared by the system for those players with poor game skills, such as the initial city walls, initial wooden houses, and some functional buildings.
For example, a newly updated building called Talent Market.
This building is very similar to the carriage shop in the initial base. It doesn't look very big. Zhao Mingwei quickly browsed the properties of the talent market.
Initial Talent Market
Architecture General
Description: A carriage that can recruit talents from other worlds or the Holy Spirit's original world.
Effect: Recruit NPCs to assist in building a stronghold.
Construction requirements: 40 wood.
This is a completely free starting building.
Zhao Mingwei turned his gaze towards the stronghold. Mo Shigui roughly divided the stronghold before going offline, temporarily dividing it into a mining area, a planting area, and a blank area.
The planting area is used to grow various herbs needed for refining medicines. The pharmacist Lanlan who is in charge of the planting area has not yet gone offline.
Zhao Mingwei rolled over and landed on the ground, walking lazily towards the planting area where he was spraying pesticides on a bunch of vines.
"How long have you been spraying pesticides here?" Zhao Mingwei looked at the woman dressed as a pharmacist. She was one of the few real girls in the Leaping Nuclear Guild.
"Mr. Xiao? This is not pesticide, this is HP potion, sold by NPCs in the game." Lan Lan shook the kettle in her hand and said. She was also one of the few people who could remain calm after knowing Zhao Mingwei's true identity.
"Can the HP potion in the game be used as fertilizer?"
Zhao Mingwei took a look at the vines growing in the planting area. This plant is called bloodthorn grass, which is an essential main ingredient for refining HP potions.
Another profession of Lanlan is planter. The pleasure of this profession is... after reaching a high level, the herbs they plant can mutate, and various interesting mutations will occur, with enhanced effects, transformed effects, and even mutations such as becoming carnivorous plants.
"It's not used as fertilizer, it appears again! Xiaoye, did you see the DEBUFF below?" Lanlan suddenly became a little irritable.
Zhao Mingwei looked at a DEBUFF under the bloodthorn grass.
Slightly crystallized 1%.
"Damn!" Lan Lan angrily poured the HP potion on the herb that had the crystallized DEBUFF. The DEBUFF flashed and disappeared in an instant.
"Farming in the base is more troublesome than farming in my manor. The plants I planted may have this debuff every few dozen minutes. At the beginning, I can use HP potions to remove it, but if it exceeds 10%, there is no way to remove it."
Lanlan said this while spitting angrily. Zhao Mingwei could understand her discomfort. This kind of repetitive process in the game is always the most boring.
"Maybe we can hire an NPC to help?" Zhao Mingwei looked towards the mining area in the distance. The various machines made by Xia Shan were still tirelessly smelting steel.
Xia Shan couldn't bear it anymore and went to sleep two hours ago. Logically, Lan Lan should have gone to sleep as well, but she couldn't stand the plants she planted turning into crystals.
"NPC? When will this game allow us to hire NPCs?" Lanlan doesn't have time to pay attention to the forum.
"Yu Zhongqu has already built the building for recruiting NPCs." Zhao Mingwei pointed to an empty area not far away. Yu Zhongqu had already placed the talent market on the ground.
He was thinking about the same thing as Zhao Mingwei.
"Can we really recruit NPCs?" Lanlan's curiosity was also aroused, and other players of the Leaping Nuclear Guild who were active in the base also gathered towards the talent market.
"Who's coming?" Yu Zhongqu pointed to the counter. There was no one at the counter, but there were five very eye-catching white papers pasted on it.
When Zhao Mingwei approached the talent market, a new window popped up. Below the window was a prominent option of "Refresh candidates", and there was a "free" sign attached to this option.
"Old Yu, let me try?"
Xiao Yumao did not log off either. He was busy planning the construction of strongholds and city walls all day long. As a veteran construction player, he was so excited that he didn't want to sleep at all.
"This seems to be a gamble on your luck! Little Feather, is it okay for you to get the cards wrong every time you play the card drawing game?" the mother said like a dog barking.
Little Feather didn't answer, but reached out and tapped the button to refresh the candidates, and then said, "Wow! Gold... Ordinary."
Text and photos of people suddenly appeared on five pieces of white paper. Zhao Mingwei took a quick look and found that the average level of these five NPCs was only level five. They all came from the Holy Spirit World. There were some specialized life skills in the introduction.
The most eye-catching thing is the rarity 'N' below.
"Oh my god! I'm dying of laughter. I can't even draw a guaranteed blue card!" Mom barked like a dog, looking at the row of NPCs with rarity N below and said, "These are just dog food in a pay-to-win mobile game. Maybe even worse than dog food."
"Then you go ahead!" Little Feather became a little irritated by his mother's barking mockery.
"I'll go first."
Mommy Has a Dog Barking clicked on the option to refresh the candidate list again. The second click required three mother crystals of ordinary quality, which was not an expensive price for Mommy Has a Dog Barking.
And then there is…blue sky and white clouds.
Zhao Mingwei took another look and saw four NPCs with a rarity of 'N' and one with a rarity of 'R'.
N means a very common character, and R means a rare character. This is a vicious classification that most pay-to-win mobile games have. Logically, you should be able to recruit SR super rare and SSR epic rare characters.
"At least he has a blue card! Will Lao Yu recruit him?" Mom asked like a dog barking.
The character named R was clearly marked as an alien character. He was level 34 and his specialty was blacksmithing. However, there was no shortage of powerful blacksmiths in the guild, and their combat level was not as good as that of the players.
What Zhao Mingwei was concerned about was his crystal seed mark.
"Master Xiao, little red hand." Yu Zhongqu said to Zhao Mingwei.
The only designated Little Red Hand player of the Leaping Nuclear Guild, Fluffy Rabbit... has gone offline, so we have to find a Little Red Hand from another guild. In Song in the Rain's impression, Zhao Mingwei's luck is also pretty good.
"Then I'll try." Zhao Mingwei stretched out his hand and lightly tapped again to refresh the candidates. The second refresh would require six ordinary quality mother crystals.
There happened to be six ordinary quality mother crystals in his backpack. After these mother crystals were thrown into the talent market, the five candidates were refreshed again.
This time the refresh showed a deep purple flash!
"A purple card is out? And it's a beautiful girl with short hair! Xiao Ye is awesome." Someone shouted excitedly.
Zhao Mingwei looked at the first candidate for recruitment, who was also an alien with a rarity of SR. Just looking at the series of skills, strengths and potential below, it was clear that... this character was not simple.
"Do you want to give it another try? You might get an SSR." The mother encouraged him as the dog barked.
"That's it." Yu Zhongqu made the decision right away. He knew that Lanlan was a little overwhelmed with taking care of the herb garden, and this NPC just happened to know gardening.
Zhao Mingwei clicked on this SR-level NPC, and the recruitment conditions were displayed below.
'Temporary recruitment: 1 gold coin/day, favorability towards the base must be no less than -10, currently 0, maximum recruitment time is thirty days.'
'Permanent recruitment: 500 gold coins, favorability towards the base is higher than 100.'
"Or is it rented?" Someone seemed a little discouraged. In the male-dominated guild of Leaping Nuclear, having a few beautiful girls in the base is a pleasing thing, but the Fluffy Rabbit does not count.
"Are you hiring someone to sell their indentures directly? Master Xiao, this money will be directly used from our guild's funds. Just sign a ten-day contract first." Mom said like a dog barking.
Zhao Mingwei chose a ten-day employment contract, which in real life would cost him 10,000 yuan a month to hire this girl.
"I hope this money is worth it..." Zhao Mingwei watched as a burst of magical light appeared in the talent market, a teleportation array emerged, and a figure slowly walked out of the teleportation array.
"Someone is looking for me so soon? Who is my employer?"
A girl with short black hair and scarlet eyes walked out of the teleportation array, her voice full of energy and excitement.
Everyone in the Leaping Nuclear Guild took a step back and pushed Zhao Mingwei out.
Zhao Mingwei had no choice but to raise his hand silently.
"Okay then! Fight with me first." She said to Zhao Mingwei.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Mingwei took a look at her level, which was only level 36. At this level... Zhao Mingwei could kill her in seconds with just a mental wave.
