Taira Central Office Building.
top layer.
Director Pingliang was sitting in a rocking chair, overlooking most of the shelter through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and it seemed that everything was within reach.
But he was no longer high-spirited.
His right hand was bandaged, and the scar on his face snaked from his forehead to his right cheek and had not yet disappeared. He leaned back on the rocking chair, lying limply like a giant baby, unable to stand up.
Opposite him stood the intelligence minister who came to report on his work.
Director Pingliang coughed dryly and turned slightly sideways, from sitting paralyzed to half leaning on the desk.
During the operation to suppress the cult, Director Pingliang was seriously injured and was attacked by special energy. Even those with healing abilities could not cure him. He could only supplement his nutrition and rely on his strong body to slowly recover.
"There was no unexpected situation in the "Adventurers Guild". As expected, although many awakened people registered as adventurers in the first few days, under our hint, no force came to the "Adventurers Guild" to issue a commission.
Without a source of tasks, a complete chain could not be formed, and those awakened people who registered were gradually disappointed. The number of awakened people entering and leaving the guild in the past two days has decreased significantly.
Although the business of "Extreme Martial Arts Gym" is acceptable, it is only a relatively popular martial arts gym and is far from being competitive at the dominant level. "
"Very good, keep watching."
Director Pingliang nodded.
The green shade is strong, and I can only swallow the losses I suffered before. At this time, I finally feel a little happy.
"Haha, the people in charge of Green Shadow are still too naive. Having strength does not mean having everything, connections, resources, management, rules... Although we are under pressure, we cannot prevent the "Adventurers Guild" from settling in Pingliang, but as long as we use some means , which will prevent them from developing, causing their investment to be completely wasted and causing serious losses. "
The price of the land is completely estimated based on the market price.
The "Adventurer's Guild" and "Extreme Martial Arts Gym" were two magnificent buildings that were quickly built, and the cost was obviously not low.
There is also the cost of transporting large quantities of materials...
Director Pingliang was looking forward to it very much and saw the frustrated expression on the person in charge of the green shade.
He made a lot of money from selling the land.
"It's still too young. Pingliang is our territory. What tasks can he have, unless they issue some tasks that have nothing to do with themselves and cannot gain benefits? The scope is much larger, but in this way, every time it is completed, For one mission, Green Shade will lose a reward. The cost of attracting awakened people in this way is too high...
And it’s meaningless. As long as we don’t publish tasks in the “Adventurers Guild”, we will never be able to form a benign ecological chain. "
It is obviously impossible for their Taira officials to issue commissions to their competitors, and some of the larger forces in the sanctuary will not do business with the "Adventurers Guild" under the hints and warnings of the Intelligence Department.
As for Green Shade, it is already very difficult to extend its tentacles here. It is impossible to free up manpower to understand the surrounding area, and it is difficult to generate tasks that truly meet the demand.
This wave is stable!
Director Pingliang thought of this, and immediately felt relieved, and his injuries were getting better.
However, Director Pingliang was only happy for less than two seconds when there was a rapid knock on the door.
The person who walked in through the door was the Deputy Minister of Intelligence.
"Director, Minister, something serious has happened!"
"The transfer station to the west of our shelter was destroyed by the remnants of the cult. No one in the entire transfer station survived!"
Pingliang Shelter has limited capabilities and has only built two transfer stations in total.
The existence of these two transfer stations has a great impact on the area controlled by Taira, the transportation of materials to adjacent shelters, and even the tasks issued by the "Mission Center".
One of them was suddenly destroyed, and the severity of the matter was no less than that of a level five demonic wave coming.
"The strongest man stationed at the transfer station, I remember he was a member of the top combat group, but he couldn't escape?"
The deputy minister shook his head, "During the on-site inspection, there happened to be people with the ability to look back. They had already seen the flashback scene. The people who attacked the transfer station were a group of Ghost Hands. The leaders of them were much stronger than... the top combat forces. "
This means that even if Director Pingliang takes action, he may not be able to win.
What's more, Director Taira's disability DEBUFF has not expired yet.
The remnants of the "Final Cult", due to heavy losses in the past, the top management of the shelter unanimously believe that now they should rest and lick their wounds and eliminate the remnants. Whoever wants to do it can do it.
However, the remnants of the cult took action themselves!
The transportation group that had previously traded with Yangcheng Shelter was wiped out in the wild, and it was suspected that the remnants of the cult were responsible. Now, the transfer station was attacked.
With a bang, Director Pingliang's bandaged fist hit the table. The original hard and thick tabletop shattered, and spider web-like cracks spread on the ground.
Director Pingliang: "..."
He coughed dryly, "We can't let the remnants of the cult continue to run rampant. We don't need to worry about other places, but the remnants of the cult in our Pingliang area must be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise God knows what they will do!"
The intelligence minister nodded, but frowned, "According to the existing intelligence, there are at least five strong men among the remnants who exceed our top combat power... This matter is not easy to handle."
The top combat power of the entire Pingliang could only be counted with two hands, but now it can be counted with one hand. It is already somewhat unable to deal with the powerful remnant team.
Director Pingliang obviously understood, frowning in thought.
At this time, the Deputy Minister of Intelligence who had just left returned again.
Seeing the minister and director's eyes falling on his face, the deputy minister felt a little embarrassed.
Who told him to bring bad news
Immediately, the deputy minister told the story of the appearance of Green Shadow's aerostat, ignoring their anti-aircraft artillery attack, and landing directly in the open space behind the "Adventurer's Guild".
"Not only that, the "Adventurers Guild" has an additional item that can be designated as a client, which contains the combat power rating of the adventurers. I sent someone to check and saw several awakened ones... who exceeded the top level of combat power. "
"Tenth level? Or eleventh level?"
"No, they are only at the ninth level, and some are not yet at the peak level. However, their adventurer identity information includes an increase in combat power. It is said that... it is said that they can surpass the third level to fight demonized beasts." The deputy minister swallowed, "Also There is video information attached, and I checked it out, and there are battle images of those adventurers, so it doesn’t seem to be fake.”
"Furthermore, with the appearance of these adventurers, the "Adventurers Guild" released many new tasks at once. Just now, there were many awakened people in the guild hall registering and asking about the situation. "
Director Pingliang wanted to say it was impossible, but he didn't say it.
He was in a mess, but his eyes suddenly brightened, "Wait a minute, since those adventurers are so powerful, can we... borrow the hands of these people to wipe out the remnants of the cult?"
"But wouldn't this give the "Adventurers Guild" an opportunity to develop? "The intelligence minister frowned.
"No." Director Pingliang said, "Those people are just adventurers, and they are not subordinates who follow Green Shadow's orders. We can contact them privately. With the financial resources of our large shelter, we can increase the mission reward by 30 to 50%. How can some adventurers not be tempted?"
"Lv Yin is making a bad move."
Director Pingliang laughed.
Under his orders, the Minister of Intelligence immediately started to prepare to contact those adventurers.
Finally, when the minister left, Director Taira seemed to have remembered something and pointed to the cracked ground, "Remember to find someone to repair this place."
