When Mu Yuan received a large amount of supplies and started vigorously building and developing, so did the other new quasi-lords.
They didn't have Mu Yuan's extra 3,000 contribution points, but some newcomers got not only the same amount of supplies as him, but even more.
"Little brother, cooperating with our White Shark Group is definitely your wisest choice. Our White Shark Group not only has great influence in the country, but also in the eternal world. Our White Shark Group has large-scale cross-regional chambers of commerce under it. It owns many medicinal plantations and has trading relationships with many lords.
"In short, if you choose our White Shark Group, we can provide you with a villa for free, as well as a batch of materials that are most needed in the current period. Not only can it help you successfully pass the lord trial, but it is also possible to compete for the world's gift list. possible."
A civilian player looked at the various valuable items and luxuriously decorated villas on the contract document, and signed his name without hesitation.
…
"Our Honglian Group operates in many fields such as medicinal material planting, pharmaceutical refining, equipment manufacturing, etc. We also have 12 territories and 128 cooperation territories in the eternal world. Everyone who can be invited by our Honglian Group is naturally a newcomer. The best among the lords.
"To this end, our Honglian Group has launched two contracts, A and B. You can read it by yourself and choose the appropriate cooperation method. I believe that with the help of our Honglian Group, you will be able to rapidly grow your territory. After the trial, Achieved excellent ranking."
…
When the resource assessment ended yesterday, outstanding newcomers received invitations from large groups one after another.
After all, unlike the previous newcomers whose futures were uncertain, this group of newcomers who have received official approval already have a high probability of passing the lord trial, and they have a promising future.
When investing in these newcomers, the probability of losing money is very small.
If you invest in a large enough amount and spread the risk, you will almost never lose money.
Naturally, different groups can invest different materials into newcomers and require different conditions.
Some groups invest simply to earn income from soul sand, while more groups invest to bind lords to cooperate, so that the lords will give them priority in providing them with certain raw materials in the future, or allocate a piece of land to them in the territory to build them. plantation area.
Mu Yuan didn't know much about the specifics, because he simply said "I don't want to, don't want, and say goodbye" three times in a row to reject the XX Group representative who called.
invest? Hum, a real man should rely on his own strength.
However, it is not just the 'group lords' who have received investment, but the official lords are also involved in the struggle.
Baijiang City, Vice President's Office.
"The newcomers from our four cities in Baijiang who have chosen to take the official lord route have already applied. There are four of them in total."
The person in charge reports.
Jiang Cheng took a few glances and nodded slightly, without saying much.
On the side, a tall and thin old man with a goatee took it over and looked at it, and let out a sigh, "The young man named Mu Yuan is not on the list. You didn't invite him?"
This kind of outstanding new civilians has always been the most competitive among various forces.
"I asked personally, that boy wants to take the personal lord route." Jiang Cheng said.
"Personal route?" The old man with the goatee widened his eyes, "This is too ignorant. How many newcomers failed to take the personal lord route, and were eventually forced to accept investment from the group. But by that time, they not only missed the most precious initial development time. , the signing contract will be much harsher, and many outstanding newcomers will be ruined or even die in the eternal world because of this."
"I quite agree."
When Jiang Cheng opened his mouth, the old man with the goatee got stuck on the spot before he could finish his words, and his eyes widened.
"The road to personal lordship is indeed full of thorns, but a real man should move forward bravely instead of lying down early, not to mention..."
This kid Mu Yuan has talent, character, and luck. Although he may not be able to go far on this path with these things, Jiang Cheng felt that he had a chance to give it a try.
As long as you overcome the initial difficulties, you will be able to go further in the future.
Of course, the most important thing is that this kid is very determined to take the personal lord route.
The strong man always goes his own way.
He appreciates it.
In this case, Jiang Cheng also gave a push and stopped many large groups from soliciting for Mu Yuan. Otherwise, the invitations from the groups would not just be to make harassing phone calls, but to find ways to visit.
…
Others have entered a period of rapid development, and Mu Yuan did not dare to relax.
"I heard that the Gan Emperor accepted investment from a large group with a good reputation and is now very happy."
"I heard that there are still some second-generation lords and top-notch second-generations who have not participated in the resource assessment. They are not greedy for the supplies, and they cannot afford to compete for their status. However, these second-generations are the real strongest newcomers. The trial A strong contender for the list.”
"I heard that the eight southern states of Xuan Kingdom are all in the 'Twilight Plains' area, so the Lord Trials are being held at the same time, and everyone is a competitor."
"It is said that……"
Mu Yuan checked more detailed trial information, combined with some news he heard from the frog seller, and suddenly a sense of urgency arose.
He didn't dare to use his mobile phone or use the forum. The batch of treasures he exchanged hadn't been delivered yet. Thinking that time couldn't be wasted, Mu Yuan called up his troops and walked out of the territory.
He has to hunt, he has to work hard to earn money for milk powder.
In order to improve efficiency, Mu Yuan has divided his troops into two groups. One group is led by Dead Bones, and the other group is led by himself... This is also because the territory's power has gradually become stronger, so he dares to divide his troops.
In his team, there are three generals: Bone 2, Bone 3, and Bone 4, who have just evolved into skeleton warriors, as well as Dorai and other big slimes, as well as three sentries, three archers, and eight skeleton soldiers. , it can be said that the team is quite luxurious.
Along the way, if God blocks the way, God will be killed, and if the wolf blocks the way, the wolf will be killed.
This is also the advantage of the lord player. When he goes out, he is surrounded by others, powerful and safe. Unlike the ranger player who can only control a few units, he accidentally falls into the street...
"call out--"
Suddenly, a sharp sound broke my eardrums, and the jungle rustled in the distance.
Bone Two roars, Bone Three runs.
A long and thick wooden spear pierced the air, passed through several skeleton soldiers and sentry guards, and shot straight towards Mu Yuan.
It came so suddenly!
As an ordinary person, Mu Yuan failed to react at all, or in other words, he realized that the game character also followed his instinct and leaned his body and threw himself to the side, but...
It's still too slow. He is just a weak and pitiful ordinary person with only the strength of a skeleton.
Before he had time to dodge, the wooden spear hit him hard in his suddenly shrinking pupils.
when--
There was no roaring sound, no fancy special effects, just an ellipsoid-shaped pale white light mask suddenly appeared, blocking the flying wooden spears, and then disappeared immediately.
Snapped--
The wooden spear shattered into pieces and turned into flying sawdust.
Mu Yuan maintained a half-pounced posture, his heart was beating continuously, his blood was rising, but he calmed down instead.
He quickly commanded the three sentries to erect the shield and protect him on three sides. He also asked Dorai and several other large slimes to stick around and stand by for defense, forming a shield wall.
Only at this time did he have time to look back.
"Is it an amulet?"
Sure enough, the amulet worn around his neck had a faint crack on it, which withstood the fatal blow for him.
Mu Yuan was still frightened.
Who is it that is sneaking up on this newbie who is only seven or eight days old?
There was a rustle in the trees in the distance, and one green goblin with fangs jumped out one after another. Most of them are ordinary goblins, but they are much taller and stronger than the common wild goblins. They wear leather armor and hold spears, and they look like they are armed to the teeth.
There is also an extremely majestic big Goblin, wearing thick plate armor and having a green face and fangs.
They come prepared.
The extremely angry Gu Er directly picked up a thick and broken tree trunk, and wisps of black light appeared on the trunk. It hugged the several-meter-long tree trunk and swept down.
boom--
The ground trembled, and ordinary goblins, even if they were wearing leather armor, were directly smashed into goblins by Gu Er's blow.
Mu Yuan didn't have time to be surprised by Gu Er's outburst, he quickly commanded.
The archers started shooting, and the skeleton soldiers sniped to attack the enemy.
However, the sentries and archers are only level two, so they are difficult to use.
There seemed to be a lot of goblins on the opposite side, maybe twenty or thirty, and the big goblin wearing plate armor should not be underestimated. He knocked the skeleton soldier away several meters with one punch. Mu Yuan identified the opponent as level seven. , Level 8.
"And these goblins are advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. Their formation must be cut open first."
"Big Slime, use the Taishan Mountain to crush the top."
The two big jelly balls No. 2 and No. 3 immediately used their leaping skills. They jumped into the air, and the next moment huge shadows were cast on the goblins.
boom--!
The big slime sat down.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and grass and trees flew.
The lethality of this blow is not significant, but the momentum is definitely not bad.
Dorai's eyes widened, and he followed the instructions of his companions to lengthen his body, then squeezed it like a spring, and leaped high in the next second.
He jumped one and a half meters and fell with a thud.
Dorai: "⊙_⊙"
Mu Yuan: "..." He thought that Dorai could emulate the bones of the dead and have an epiphany before the battle. It turned out to be too good a thought for him.
Wait, I just purchased a batch of slime yesterday, and I also saved some before. It’s almost time.
He chanted silently.
"Slime type evolution point: 5.11"
Gold and iron clashed outside, spears were thrown through the sky, gravel and sawdust were flying, and deafening roars exploded.
Mu Yuan looked at Duolai who was standing aside, "It's time to take orders in danger, Duolai."
"Guji?"
It didn't understand, but the next second the bright white light enveloped it, dispersing the haze.
