"Sir, the wine is ready!"
In Erlong Village, the door of Ji Ye's room was opened from the outside, and Nie Xiaoqian, who had changed into a simple green dress, walked in.
On the tray made of emerald green wood held by his hands as white as jade, there was a wine bottle carved from precious purple wood and a wine glass carved from mahogany.
"Buzz!"
And when Nie Xiaoqian placed the green wood plate on the table in the room, rolled up her sleeves and lifted the wine pot, the wine poured out showed a color like amber.
Instantly, the whole room was filled with a mouth-watering aroma of wine!
[Forest Strange Wine]
Level: Second level of metamorphosis
Grade: Excellent
Description: This strange wine is brewed by forest monsters collecting fruits in the heart of redwood trees. Drinking a large amount of it in a short period of time will lead to a drunken state to gain explosive power in combat. Long-term continuous drinking can comprehensively strengthen physical fitness and thinking speed. It is said that higher-level Zimusen strange wine can even enable low-intelligence creatures to open up their intelligence!
After conquering the Forest Monster's territory yesterday, in addition to the wood resources of different colors that were already known, Erlong Village also unexpectedly harvested this fine wine called "Forest Monster Wine".
Judging from the description of the wine, Ji Ye had some doubts about whether the "orangutan and ape-man" wine brewing mentioned in some ancient classics, and the "monkey wine" derived from it in some martial arts novels, actually originated from this. The "Forest Weird Wine" in the Land of Inheritance
However, the appearance of this kind of wine undoubtedly explains why the King of Forest Monsters can be said to have reached the "fifth level of transformation" at such an early stage.
Moreover, its IQ is obviously higher than that of ordinary forest monsters!
However, because this core resource is monopolized by the King of Forest Monsters, ordinary forest monsters don’t even have a mortal level!
After all, the "Ten Clans Struggle" is a competition among races. At least at this stage, until one's personal strength is "extraordinary", there is no way to say that one is strong enough to overwhelm the entire audience!
The failure of the forest monster clan is simply inevitable.
"This kind of wine is still delicious when hot!"
Ji Ye smiled and reached out to pick up the mahogany wine glass. When he put it to his mouth, a trace of white gas was already rising from the wine.
Speaking of which, the "three-color wood" growing in the territory of the forest monster clan is actually very valuable to humans.
Because it is not only water-resistant and fire-resistant, but also has the ability to self-recover after transforming into mahogany, it can be said to be the best "shipbuilding" material.
The surrounding environment of Erlong Village that has been discovered so far is obviously close to the sea.
Regardless of whether the environment belongs to an island or to the coast of a land, naval forces and warships are definitely necessary things in the future!
"Speaking of which, after cleaning up the forest monsters yesterday, a lot of purple wood and mahogany fragments with 'sacrifice' attributes were found in the core of their stronghold. After merging them, I wonder if it will be possible to supervise the construction of warships on Liangshan. Will Meng Kang, the Earthly Evil Star ‘Jade Flag Pole’ be brought here?”
Ji Ye thought in his heart.
Of course, even if we can't recruit such talented people who specialize in shipbuilding, it won't be a big problem.
Because it is now only a few days before the second batch of newcomers enter the inheritance land, which will be a month away.
At that time, these people will be able to "go offline" and find ways to find experts in shipbuilding in reality and get ways to build warships!
In fact, in a sense, at this stage, the earth is the biggest support for the Erlong Mountain stronghold!
"Xiaoqian, you stay here for a while, I have to leave for a while."
After drinking the "Forest Strange Wine" heated by "Nine Yang Divine Art", I felt that it turned into hot air in the body and dispersed into the limbs and bones.
Ji Ye gave instructions to Nie Xiaoqian, and then chose to log off after a long time.
Now, only the "Metal Men" are left adjacent to the stronghold.
Regarding this race that had shown a high degree of civilization in previous trials and detections, Ji Ye planned to check their information on the Heritage Land Forum and within the Secretariat!
Of course, I also asked my brother, the cheap director, about the second batch of players going offline during the "full moon".
…
"Junior Brother Ji, it's so rare to see you once!"
In the director's office of Yangcheng Player Base, Zhou Ju, who had lost a lot of weight, personally made Ji Ye a large cup of wolfberry tea in a paper cup.
"Um, thank you, I don't have to... Is Senior Brother Zhou very busy these days?"
Ji Ye politely refused, looked up at Zhou Ju and said.
"Who says it isn't?"
"I'm not going to hide it from you, junior brother, because the second batch of 'players' will return in a few days. During this period of time, we are indeed a little anxious!"
Zhou Ju looked quite tired and said with a wry smile on his face.
Different from the first group of people, the second group of people who entered the inheritance land were equally divided between elites and ordinary people.
Just like Erlong Village will encounter some "thorns", the Joint Affairs Bureau cannot avoid encountering thorns.
Especially since the "Land of Inheritance" has been open for almost three months, some people have accumulated a certain amount of rare merits. It can be said that they can exchange some items in the Land of Inheritance and even have the ability to return to the earth.
Once these people return, the management difficulty for the Joint Affairs Bureau will undoubtedly increase significantly.
Because it is inevitable for intelligent creatures to not want to be restricted after gaining strength.
And this is only the second batch. Counting the internal beta players, there are only a few million people in total.
However, when tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people become "players" in the third and fourth batches, even the Joint Affairs Bureau will not have the ability to rely on the current method to centrally manage personnel.
"By the way, the merit system I mentioned to you has been completed and is expected to be implemented soon."
However, it is obvious that the Joint Affairs Bureau has long recognized this. The establishment of player bases is only a matter of rights and interests, and the "merit system" mentioned before is the core method!
"Currently, after calculation, your achievements rank first among our Yangcheng players. Congratulations, junior brother!"
Zhou Ju smiled and said to Ji Ye.
Although Ji Ye didn't go offline that often.
However, because Erlong Village develops fast enough, some important information will be brought back every time.
For example, this time, the uses and changes related to the upgrading of the stronghold to the third level of transformation, and the improvement of personal strength to the fifth level of transformation, etc., are of great value to the Dragon Kingdom and even the coalition government.
Because of this, he has received a lot of "merits" and ranked first among Yangcheng players, which was actually expected.
"Um!"
Therefore, Ji Ye just nodded without much reaction.
"Hey, junior brother, you are really like Ling Chen said... too calm, unlike someone of this age!"
Seeing Ji Ye's reaction, Zhou Ju's face inevitably had a wry smile again.
Although, Ji Ye never elaborated on the details of his stay in the inheritance land.
However, Zhou Ju could feel that his "little junior brother"'s status in the stronghold was absolutely extraordinary.
Even in a short period of time, he has developed a special aura.
Ordinary people may not be able to feel it, but for people like him, the feeling is relatively strong.
And from all the information brought back from Ji Ye, he could also guess that the stronghold where Ji Ye was located had a high chance of being able to achieve "ten clans competing for hegemony"!
"However, senior brother can only tell you one thing. While the number of players is small now, try to get as many 'joint merits' as possible. Because the significance of the 'merit system' in the future will definitely be greater than you imagine." !”
Thinking of this, Zhou Ju's face suddenly became solemn, and his expression became very solemn and he said to Ji Ye.
"Um?"
"I understand, thank you Senior Brother Zhou!"
Ji Ye raised his eyebrows.
As an internal member of the Joint Affairs Bureau, Bureau Zhou must know some confidential information.
He looked so solemn when he spoke. It seems that the unified "merit system" set up by the coalition government and various countries is not just used to calculate credit for "players" from various countries
"Director... Hu, Hu..."
However, before he could think carefully, there was a knock on the door of Bureau Zhou's office.
After Bureau Zhou responded, a staff member from the Joint Affairs Bureau walked in with some breathlessness!
"Has another stronghold belonging to our Yangcheng been captured by foreigners?"
But seeing this staff member, Director Zhou's face suddenly became a little ugly.
This is a very helpless thing. After all, ten intelligent races compete. Although according to current statistics, most of the alien races are actually not as civilized as the earth.
However, there are indeed some civilizations that are more powerful than the people on earth.
Currently, Yangcheng City originally had more than 150 strongholds in the Land of Heritage, but now there are less than 50 left.
"This is the base where the seed player Ning Ling is located!"
Ji Ye was already planning to "evade" and return to his bedroom to return to the place of inheritance.
However, the staff who came to report had already told the story because they were too excited!
Players who pass the internal test can gain "talent" advantages, and their strongholds are generally listed as "seeds" by various cities, and are the most likely to win the "Ten Clans Battle for Hegemony".
A seed stronghold was captured, which was indeed a serious matter for Yangcheng.
"Ning Ling! How could it be? Doesn't Zhou Zhiruo exist in their stronghold..."
After hearing this, Ji Ye couldn't help but stop and said slightly surprised.
Ning Ling was the gum-chewing girl he met in the City of Luck, and he exchanged it for Emei's "Nine-Yang Magic" from Zhou Zhiruo, which was of great significance for him to fuse the "Nine-Yang Magic"!
Theoretically, he has already been promoted to the second level before, and there is an "extraordinary" level person like Zhou Zhiruo who has crossed the level, so the advantage should be great.
Surprisingly, it failed now
"Hey, junior brother, have you had contact with that little girl?"
After hearing Ji Ye's words, Zhou Ju's face was even more surprised.
"We met in the human city, and we entered the Luck Battlefield together. However, we were not in the same battlefield!"
Ji Ye nodded.
"Oh, this is the battlefield of luck!"
"They lost the last time they entered the 'Battlefield of Luck'. Although their stronghold has advanced to the second level, they lost a lot of luck and equipment. So..."
Only after listening to Zhou Bureau's explanation did Ji Ye understand.
After Ning Ling and Zhou Zhiruo entered the "Battlefield of Luck", although they were superior in terms of strength, they successfully used their background advantages to win over the neutral forces, and failed when they were flanked.
And this not only lost the equipment that was substituted into the luck battlefield, but also lost a lot of luck in the stronghold itself.
After returning to the stronghold, it was inevitable that he would be suppressed by another alien stronghold that had also advanced to the second level. The situation became increasingly difficult step by step!
Under such circumstances, Ning Ling, who had said that she could "get it done", had no choice but to put aside her face and turn to the Yangcheng Joint Affairs Bureau for help.
It's just that even though Bureau Zhou mobilized many experts to give her advice and assistance, in the end there was no talk of reversing the decline.
Just now, the stronghold she belonged to had been breached by aliens!
It also means that Ning Ling, like Wu Qiao, has lost all the advantages accumulated since the "internal test training".
As for Zhou Zhiruo, although he was so powerful that he even killed two foreign "heroes" in a row during the duel, at the current stage, the strength of each person could not play a decisive role, and he eventually lost to the enemy's siege.
Even if this very rare female figure who comes early can be reborn next time, the memory of her identity will inevitably disappear!
