The artifacts of the heavens on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 144 Followers

"Good morning, Lord Luke."

"Hello, Lord Luke."

"Lord Luke, I am your admirer. Can you let me be your follower?"

"Lord Luke..."

Early the next morning, when Luke woke up from his dream, he saw many clowns in various costumes gathered downstairs in the Adventurer's House Hotel.

There are poor people in rags, rich people in fine clothes, well-dressed women, and soldiers in uniforms...

They changed their indifferent attitude towards Luke yesterday, and used their own methods to express their desire to follow Luke either implicitly or directly.

If it was before, Luke naturally hoped that the more followers he had, the better, because at that time he thought that he could quickly complete the [-]% of the task progress required by the "going home" task.

But now, he is less interested in whether these ordinary clowns want to be his followers, and he is far less enthusiastic than before.

Last night, he showed his might and smashed to death the seemingly incomparably powerful commander-level zombie with a hammer, and spent another 10 points of energy to manifest thousands of strange beasts of various colors and completely wipe them out.

Paying such a high price, the final harvest is indeed quite a lot, including the admiration and following of the defenders who Luke wanted most.

But in the end, he was surprised to find that the followers required for the mission of returning home did not seem to be as he had imagined, and the progress of the mission could be completed quickly based on the number alone.

After being named, Xiong Daxiong Er volunteered to become Luke's followers, allowing Luke to successfully obtain 0.2% of the mission progress.

He thought that as long as he collected 50 city defenders as followers, he would be able to complete the follower mission as a matter of course.

But the actual situation is not the case, the third defender follower only contributed 3% of the quest completion progress, the 0.05th contribution was even more pitiful, only 10% of the quest progress.

After the tenth, the remaining 40 defenders became Luke's followers, but they didn't contribute even a single trace of progress to Luke's mission completion.

Even with the previous 0.2%, now Luke only got a total of 0.8% of the task completion progress, which is not a star and a half away from the 10% task completion progress.

How is this going?

Luke was dumbfounded at the time.

If he can't improve the quest completion progress with the help of the increase of followers, he won't be able to get enough quest completion progress, and he won't be able to return to the original world that he has been dreaming about all along, to find his extremely mysterious life experience The end result of the mystery.

The system never answers any of Luke's questions, he has to discover the answer to this question by himself.

At this time, an unexpected thing happened. A character whom Luke had never expected before was successfully attracted by his divine power and became his most loyal follower.

This person is the current patriarch of the clown clan, the little fox Xie Xiaoan in Luke's eyes.

Xie Xiaoan's little fox is indeed cunning, but after all, he is only a 13-year-old child.

Xia Lu's children in the apocalyptic world grow very, very fast. They can get married and have children at the age of 12, and they may die for various reasons before they are 30.

Xie Xiaoan became the patriarch of the clown clan for the same reason.

It's just that the innocence and curiosity of children, as well as the worship of the strong, are not so easy to grow and deteriorate.

Since those older defenders can quickly become Luke's loyal followers, it is understandable that Xie Xiaoan will also become his follower.

Maybe his status and intelligence would make Xie Xiaoan more proud, but when Luke showed his incomparable strength, this kind of pride catalyzed his admiration for Luke instead.

Xie Xiaoan became Luke's 51st follower. This accident brought Luke 2 percentage points of quest completion progress, making Luke's quest completion progress reach a considerable 2.8%.

Most importantly, it taught Luke the rules of being a follower.

The system comprehensively evaluates the follower's value based on the follower's status, ingenuity, and own strength, and then gives Luke a certain task completion progress according to the corresponding rules.

The higher the comprehensive value, the more progress the task is given.

At the same time, when there are too many followers with close comprehensive value, the system will also reduce the quest completion progress that these followers can increase for Luke, so as to prevent Luke from only relying on ordinary defenders as he thought before. The task can be completed quickly without the admiration and loyalty of the city team members.

Knowing this, Luke still has no idea how to complete the task.

The young are always simple-minded, and sooner or later, sheer continual favor or mighty force will conquer them.

But for a high-status and shrewd old slicker like Xie An, or a guy like the second elder Jin Wannian who is particularly conceited about his own strength, it is difficult to make them admire and eventually become followers in a simple way.

Luke has to use a more complex and effective method, which relies heavily on the experience of being a superior, because they often face such situations and can subdue others quietly.

But what he lacks now is such experience, and because of the mission, he has to deal with those few difficult guys.

This made him very upset.

He has no shortage of followers, such as the low-level Fifteen Ton Ant Slave, and the high-level Luo Sanpao. He has a lot of manifested alien beasts as followers.

These manifested alien beasts are hardworking, brave and good at fighting, or have their own unique abilities. They are quite useful and loyal, and will never betray.

The most important thing is that they are not as troublesome as the old fox. From time to time, they have to compete with him and play tricks.

……

Luke thought about it for a long time last night, but he still couldn't think of any effective means, so he could only put this problem aside for the time being.

It would be great to be able to return to the original world as soon as possible, but if it is really impossible, then you can't keep entangled in this issue.

It's better to think more about what is in front of you and how to make yourself live better in this troubled world. This is what a mature person should do.

For Luke now, the most important thing is to go to the old fox Xie An and ask for the treasure that the old fox promised him last night.

In order to eliminate the commander-level zombies and the more than 1 ordinary zombies last night, he spent a lot of energy. More than 10 points of energy basically consumed more than one-third of his remaining energy. point.

Now he only has more than 16 points of source power left, and he can't afford to fight a big battle like last night. What if he doesn't rush to get some supplies? Wouldn't he be about to die soon?

As for the trophies harvested after the battle, they basically existed in the form of precious metals such as fine gold and mithril.

Luke originally wanted to devour them all to strengthen his defense and physique.

But when he accidentally revealed to the old fox Xie An that he had fine gold, the old fox immediately talked like crazy about the preciousness of fine gold, a precious metal in Xialu, and said that he was willing to exchange a lot of materials for it.

Now, Luke is going to go to the old fox to exchange supplies.

Well, certainly not a baby like napalm.
