Chapter 195: Building a stronghold and cultivating the embarrassing realm
Game Day 68
The first thing to do today is to recruit NPCs.
The first is the combat NPC. These NPCs can help players participate in various battles and help players protect the security of their strongholds. There are some restrictions on the recruitment of this NPC. For example, each player can only recruit at most one person whose combat power is similar to the player's own; for example, the higher the NPC's combat power, the higher the recruitment price, etc.
The second is the construction NPC. The greater the number of construction NPCs, the faster the building is built, and multiple work surfaces can be operated at the same time.
Finally, auxiliary NPCs include life skills NPCs, collection NPCs, etc.
No matter which type of NPC, they are divided into levels. The price of ordinary levels is okay and relatively cheap. However, once you have a level, it is not only difficult to recruit, but also expensive.
In short, if you want to build your own stronghold, you can't do it without money.
At the same time, there is an intimacy system between these NPCs and players. The higher the intimacy, the more things they can do and the lower the rental price.
After a lot of twists and turns, Feng and Master Wu met at the agreed place, and the two of them took dozens of NPCs to their destination.
"How did you get this little tiger?" The fifth master finally asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"I turned here on the road." Feng touched the sleeping tiger cub in his arms and answered calmly.
"Which road is round the corner? I'll give it a try too." The fifth leader was really envious and jealous in his heart.
"There is no more, there is only this one."
"Hum hum."
"It's just a little tiger. Come on, let me give you a hug." Feng handed the little tiger to Master Wu.
"Oh, darling, little darling, little darling." After the fifth master took over the little tiger, his mood changed 180 degrees.
Feng looked at the appearance of the fifth master, and suddenly felt familiar. Isn't this the same as when Ice Beer and Fat Brother adopted the little cub, looking like a nanny.
"By the way, do you know there are props where you can store the little tiger?" Letting the little tiger be a "left-behind child" every time you go out is not an option. You still have to find a way to find props to store pets.
The Fifth Master: "Beast Control Sect, there is information about this on the game forum."
Come to the game forum, there are various posts that can answer various questions of players.
The founder of the Beast Control Sect is the Dragon King, so it is also known as the No. 1 sect in the world. The sect's slogan is: Control the wild beasts in the world for your own use.
The Beast Taming Sect has a special prop called the Beast Taming Ring, which can store living pets. The higher the level of the Beast Taming Ring, the greater the number stored and the more advanced it is.
...
Feng: "It turns out that the Dragon King's pet is a powerful dragon."
The Fifth Master: "Otherwise, how could he be called the Dragon King?"
Feng: "If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the Beast Control Sect in the neutral land first."
The Fifth Master: "You know it's hard to buy, but it's useless even if you go."
Feng: "I have a little tiger."
Fifth Master: "Look carefully, the minimum requirement is a ninth-grade high-level pet in the developmental stage. Yours should still be in the juvenile stage."
peak:"......"
The fifth boss: "We've arrived at our destination, come on, let's hit the workers."
peak:"......"

This is a place about two or three kilometers away from the perimeter of the defensive wall. There are several small mountain peaks nearby, which are rich in resources. It is more than enough to build a village-level stronghold. There are also rivers nearby. After the stronghold is established, the river can be used to build a natural of fortifications.
Now that the decision has been made, construction begins. The two divide the labor and cooperate. Feng is responsible for collecting various resources and building walls, while Wu Dangjia is responsible for building other buildings within the stronghold.
Under Feng's order, more than a dozen gathering NPCs set out to cut wood from nearby mountains. Wood is the most important resource for building a stronghold, accounting for more than 90% of all resources.
Looking at these hard-working NPCs, he suddenly felt like he was a boss. All he had to say was that these NPCs must work hard without complaining and keep working without getting tired.
...
While meditating and practicing, supervising the work of NPCs, and reading posts on game forums, building a stronghold is actually not tiring at all.
The sound of "bang bang bang" fighting attracted his attention. He looked for sound and suddenly found a group of magic soldiers attacking and already fighting with the fighting NPC.
Feng quickly mounted the little red horse and joined the battlefield.
After a while of fighting, all the demon soldiers below the ninth-grade intermediate level were wiped out, leaving only the leading demon soldier still fighting with a fighting NPC.
This combat NPC was carefully selected by Feng, a swordsman with ninth-grade advanced combat abilities, and was named "Sword Demon No. 1" by him. "Sword Demon No. 1"'s sword skills are very extraordinary, and he is inseparable from the ninth-grade high-level demon soldiers.
Feng saw the right moment and sneak attacked from behind the demon soldier, inflicting fatal damage to the opponent. Then he and "Sword Demon No. 1" fought two against one and quickly annihilated the opponent without even using the Blood Sword Sutra.
After the battlefield calmed down, the scattered gathering NPCs began to collect resources in an orderly manner.
"It seems that I thought building the stronghold was too simple." The sound of fighting also attracted the Fifth Master. When he saw the invasion of the magic soldiers, he was very surprised.
Feng: "This is a war zone between the two sides, so it's normal for magic soldiers to appear."
Fifth Leader: "Fortunately, he's not the eighth-grade boss."
Feng: "Little boss? I'm looking forward to it."
...
As far as internal strength is concerned, he is now practicing the second level of the Blood Knife Meridian, and the internal energy begins to travel along the meridians in the internal organs. These internal forces can not only protect the internal organs and reduce damage, but can also be stored inside and be extracted and used at any time.
As for the character's physical strength, with the help of the Dragon Protection Order last time, the strength has reached the peak of the ninth level.
Internal strength and physical body are two aspects that determine whether a player is strong. His current comprehensive strength has exceeded the peak of the ninth level, and he is not afraid of even the elementary level of the eighth level.
However, he did not feel very happy, but instead felt a little worried in his heart. Because although he joined the top sect Blood Sword Sect, he only got the internal skills and related sword skills, and there was no dedicated master to explain to him the correct way to practice in this game world.
How to quickly improve internal strength? How to quickly increase physical strength? How to get more resources? What are the specific methods of cultivation? He only had a partial understanding.
I saw many posts shared by players on the game forum.
Some players said: "As long as you practice internal skills and mental methods step by step, as time accumulates, your physical strength and internal strength will naturally improve."
Some players said: "Taking the inner elixir of high-level wild monsters can quickly increase the player's internal strength and physical strength."
Some players said: "Using demon power and magic power can enhance the player's internal strength."
Some players said: "Using elixirs can enhance the player's internal strength."
Some players said: "You can practice more internal skills and mental methods."
Some players said: "You can practice physical skills to improve the player's physical strength."
...
There are too many posts on the forum and they are too complicated, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
However, he realized a few things from his own experiences:
First, the five-colored glow of the master token increases the physical strength of his game character to the primary level of the ninth-grade body;
Secondly, the reason why his physical strength has been raised to the ninth level intermediate level is because of his persistent practice of inner strength and mental skills;
Third, it was the dragon energy in the Dragon Protection Order that raised his physical body to the peak of the ninth level and completed the first level of the Blood Sword Sutra.
It can be seen from this that there are only two ways to improve internal strength and physical body, internal factors and external factors.
Internal factors are the practice of inner strength and mental skills and the practice of physical skills to enhance the strength of the physical body;
External factors include props such as marrow cleansing, taking elixirs, wild monster inner elixirs, and dragon protection orders.
But knowing and doing are two completely different things.
A powerful sect must have a complete and mature member training system. It not only teaches you how to do it, but more importantly, tells you how to get these things. For example, how to clean marrow correctly; how to obtain or refine various enhancement elixirs; where to obtain the inner elixirs of wild monsters; how to use demon power and magic power correctly, etc.
"Dragon Protecting Order" and "Xuanyuan Xiaotian" were only encountered by him through bad luck. Such lucky events are rare.
Therefore, there are several paths before him:
First, look for the Blood Knife Sect. After all, the Blood Knife Sect is a hidden sect as famous as the top sects. It must have its own stronghold and a complete disciple training system;
Second, look for the City of Killing. This is the talent training base for the Green Forest Army. It must have its own ways and methods in training members;
Third, there are academies established by aristocratic families and sects. Among these academies, there must be academies jointly established by neutral forces and the Green Forest Army. Since it is an academy, the cultivation methods inside must be very complete, but I don’t know if he can enter directly with his current status as a bandit, or if he can only enter after finding a way to join a certain sect or family.
As for the fourth way, it is to find the training ground of the Dragon Guard Army. The Dragon Guard Army is an organization belonging to the Dragon Emperor, but the Dragon Emperor is dead, and he did not hear Xuanyuan Xiaotian say that this organization has been passed down to a certain prince. . Therefore, this identity can only be hidden now and cannot be used except as a last resort.
As for the others, I haven’t thought of them yet.
The so-called step first, step by step, in order to improve his strength faster than others and be ahead of other players, he must go alone.
Walking alone is a kind of helplessness and a test. Now that other players have not left the imperial city, he cannot just wait like this.
Therefore, he has already made plans in this regard and is ready to embark on a solo journey after the construction of the stronghold is completed.
However, he still had to make some preparations before walking alone. He looked at the "Sword Demon No. 1" in front of him. The identity of "Sword Demon No. 1" in the game is also a killer, and he also has his own identity token. Therefore, An idea came into his mind and he wanted to cultivate it into his own substitute.
