Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 467 457. Invest in the future

Li Nuo, the Assassination Angel and the Scroll Angel, as well as the core of the "Command" plane, all feel that the Metal Ancestral Dragon's desire for spiritual structures is a potential threat.

The core of the "Command" plane has "a big family and a big business", and there are too many players under his control.

Facing the eagerly looking Metal Archosaur, it had a sense of urgency that was somewhat heedless.

Using Li Nuo as the communication medium, the two angels reached indirect communication with the core of the "Command" plane.

All parties discussed a relatively feasible plan.

That is "fishing".

Doesn't the Metal Archosaur want to get a large number of spiritual structures to help him explore the illusion space?

Didn't it reach some kind of cooperation with the Angel Enterprise Consortium?

Well then, we will take the initiative to deliver a batch of spiritual structures to them.

These ectoplasm structures will be installed with backdoors by Li Nuo and become a kind of existence similar to remote-controlled bombs.

Normally, the ectoplasm structure would provide Li Nuo and others with first-hand information from the illusion space.

At a critical moment, they will explode with a "bang", defeating the Metal Archosaur's plan and destroying his own body.

There are two difficulties with this plan.

One is that the backdoors in these ectoplasm structures cannot be discovered by the Metal Ancestral Dragon and the Angel Enterprise Consortium.

Secondly, the final control of the ectoplasm structure must be in the hands of Li Nuo, and it must not be reduced to the puppet of the Metal Ancestral Dragon like the ectoplasm structure on the transport ship.

Only when these two difficulties are solved can this plan become feasible in a real sense.

The two angels, the Assassination Angel and the Scroll Angel, are responsible for studying how to install the backdoor. This is a technical issue.

As for how to still maintain the final control of the ectoplasm structure after the Metal Archaeolian has deeply eroded the ectoplasm structure, this is something that the core of the "Command" plane must consider.

Under this division of labor, Li Nuo became the most leisurely person. In addition to assigning tasks to young players every day and guiding them to plunder angel crystals, he also studied magic pets and enriched the types and products of magic eggs.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm and subjective initiative of the players to a greater extent, Li Nuo thoughtfully provided a lottery.

Previously, for every 100 angel crystals that players sent, they could harvest 1 primary angel essence to provide nutrients for the magic egg.

Now, on top of this, Li Nuo also gives an additional reward of randomly drawing a magic egg.

The magic eggs in the hands of players are all obtained from daily tasks in the academy, and are of white quality.

The prize pool provided by Li Nuo includes green, blue, purple, orange, pink, red and other higher-quality magic eggs.

Any 100 consecutive draws, guaranteed to produce green.

Any 300 consecutive draws will definitely produce blue.

Any 1000 consecutive draws will definitely produce purple.

Orange, pink and red, it all depends on the face.

This kind of lottery scheme can be said to be bad, but it is not effective.

Moreover, lottery opportunities are awarded by completing plunder tasks, which can be said to be very fair.

But soon, Li Nuo had to be impressed by the players' intelligence.

Among a group of players who call themselves "Paigu people" and "Brick movers", some people analyzed the prize pool.

This person wrote a long paragraph of data and text, which can be summed up in one sentence:

Instead of handing over angel crystals to the academy to complete tasks and gain lottery opportunities, it is better to sell angel crystals directly to people in need in exchange for real currency.

Regardless of whether this person's analysis process and results are correct or not, the temptation of money is real, and few people can resist the temptation of real money.

Let's imagine.

Every time others went on a mission with the fleet, they decisively sold the angel crystals to merchants, guilds or buyers, and received money for movie tickets, money for restaurants, money for playing 2D 18+ games, and money for buying... The money for milk powder, etc., makes up for the sporadic expenses of life.

what about you.

What do you get besides a thumb-sized bottle of serum and the boredom of waiting for a magical pet to break out of its shell?

People will always give in to real problems.

Even those "normal players" who despise treating games as jobs, move bricks in the game, and earn money to buy ribs in the game, eventually have to sell the angel crystals in their hands, give up lottery opportunities and essence, and switch to And reap the fullness of reality.

no way.

The profit from selling the angel crystals to others is simply too great.

When the unit price of angel crystals did not exceed 10 yuan, the brick-and-mortar gang had already started selling them with all their strength.

When the unit price of angel crystals reached 100 yuan, casual players began to be interested. They stopped fishing and became air force guys, and instead drove boats and followed the team to grab angel crystals.

When the unit price of angel crystals reached 200 yuan, the brick-and-mortar players broke their thighs in regret, regretting that they had sold too early. Casual players switched jobs to professional brick-and-mortar players, and the self-proclaimed "normal players" had to give up. Figure, join the great cause of moving bricks.

When the unit price of angel crystals reaches 300 yuan, 400 yuan, or even 500 yuan, most players think this game is crazy.

It's just a game, how can its game props reach such an astonishing price?

While many players were discussing who was acquiring Angel Crystals in large quantities over a long period of time regardless of cost, a video posted by the Cucumber Patch team went viral on social media.

"Friends, players, and the big guys who are still in the dark, are you curious why no matter how high the price goes, some people buy angel crystals in bulk?"

On the video screen, Cucumber Pian held a crystal model of an angel crystal between his fingers, faced the camera, and said solemnly:

"Today, let us reveal the truth."

The screen turned, showing a group of "artificial angels" attacking the space station.

The voiceover of cucumber slices came:

"Don't doubt your eyes. A team of artificial angels is besieging a logistics space station belonging to the Guardian Angel Group."

"Rumble--"

"Artificial Angel" fires a laser beam with a diameter of three meters and violently bombards the self-defense sentry outside the space station.

The video footage is getting closer and closer to the "artificial angel".

Some sharp-eyed viewers have discovered that the helmets and breastplates of these "artificial angels" do not have the logo of the Angel Enterprise Consortium, but instead have the guild emblem of the "Golden Dragon" guild.

"Yes, you read that right. These 'artificial angels' are not artificial angels in the true sense. They are actually magic pets from the 'Golden Dragon' Guild. Thanks to your continuous supply of angel crystals to the 'Golden Dragon' Guild, The guild president 'Golden Dragon in the Sky' has successfully hatched the first angel-shaped magic pets earlier today, which is the group you see now! Angel pets."

Cucumber Pian specially emphasized the word "a group of people".

It was said earlier that the golden dragon hatched the first "angel pet" in the sky, why did it say "a group" later?

Cucumber Pian knew that the audience would be confused, so he immediately presented the attribute interface of the magic pet.

…

【Name】Swarm Battle Angel

【Type】Magic pet

[Quality] Purple

【characteristic】

1. Cluster combat

This magical pet is divided into ten, and can be used as ten individual individuals to fight in groups.

2. Life sharing

10 swarm battle angels share lives. Only by killing these 10 battle angels at once will such battle angels fall into a state of death.

3.Road to promotion

By continuously taking the angel essence and slowly improving the quality, it is possible to be promoted to a higher quality battle angel type magic pet in the future.

…

The panel data released by Cucumber Pian does not show the skills, blood volume, attributes and other information of the cluster-type battle angels.

But just the introduction of the "Features" column is enough to make players watching the video dumbfounded.

"Wait, wait. Do we have some misunderstanding about magic pets?"

"Aren't magic pets pets? Why can they fight like real artificial angels?"

"Damn it, we were deceived. This damn pet should be called a combat pet, not a magic pet!"

"Then after having a magic pet to help the owner fight monsters, does the owner still have to do it himself?"

Some players have hatched white-quality pets through their own efforts.

At this moment, they looked down at the cats and dogs rolling coquettishly in their arms, and they always felt a sense of powerlessness flowing out from the bottom of their hearts.

Can you guys be a little more angry?

Other people's magic pets will help their owners fight monsters, so why are you still here acting coquettishly and rolling around, begging for magic feed?

A barrage flashed across the video:

"Is it possible that only magic pets that reach the purple quality level can be called combat pets? White, green and blue magic pets really only have the function of pets."

This barrage aroused strong resonance among the player community.

Some people hope that they can also draw purple-quality pets;

Some people complain that the game is unfair, and the existence of the pet system widens the gap between ordinary players and wealthy players;

Some people criticized the planning and operation, blaming them for not explaining the power of magic pets clearly, causing them to sell many lottery opportunities and miss the opportunity to draw orange-quality magic pets;

Some people scolded the boss for being confused. This is just a game. Even if you can train combat pets to help you fight, it is not worth investing so much money;

Some people even say that the game has changed and is no longer what old players remember.

Various barrages floated by.

Cucumber Pian in the video seemed to have expected that the discussion on the barrage would be as vast as the ocean, so he paused for a few seconds before saying:

"I think everyone must be surprised by the fact that the 'Golden Dragon' Guild has invested huge sums of money in cultivating purple-quality magic pets. This is just a game, is it worth investing so much money? When I got the news, I was as confused as everyone else. But soon, all my doubts disappeared. Jinlong Zaitian introduced to me the guild’s strategy and development ideas in detail, the details are as follows..."

Huang Guapian narrated the process of his interview with Jin Long Zaitian.

First of all, the registration place of the "Golden Dragon" Guild is the United Military Academy under the Unification Bureau. The entire guild focuses on improving its reputation within the Unification Bureau and is committed to executing team-based combat tasks issued by the Unification Bureau.

Secondly, the "Golden Dragon" Guild's funds for cultivating magic pets do not all come from public accounts' own funds. Appropriations from the General Administration account for a large part.

Third, the significance of combat magic pets is not limited to better plundering angel crystals, but also lies in taking on more difficult team combat missions.

For example, in the past year or so, the "Great Expedition" series of missions has been repeatedly discussed by players.

Speaking of which, Cucumber Pian has given some popular science to some players who may not have heard of the "Great Expedition" series of missions.

The ultimate goal of this series of missions is to allow players to establish an advance base belonging to the United Nations in a strange galaxy full of cosmic monsters.

In other words, any player or player group who participates in the "Great Expedition" series of missions and successfully defends the advance base will be able to harvest a piece of land.

In the eyes of many game guilds, the "Great Expedition" series of missions are used to obtain guild territory and even guild space stations.

It is only because of the extremely high difficulty of the missions and the extremely powerful combat strength of the enemy that the "Great Expedition" series of missions have become missions that no one has been able to complete so far.

Now, with the help of combat magic pets, the "Golden Dragon" Guild may be able to expand territory for the Unification Bureau and gain its own territory.

Once you have a territory, the subsequent benefits will be as simple as a matter of course.

It ranges from rental income from monster spawning points in the territory to territory trade, material mining, star gate access income, etc.

All income from the territory will cover the past expenses of cultivating combat-type magic pets.

When the costs are smoothed out, the guild will have better book numbers and achieve long-term stable profits.

So, to sum up:

Investing in combat magic pets may seem like a bottomless pit, but it is actually investing in the future.

What Cucumber Pian said in the video made the players sigh in admiration.

It's not that ordinary players can't think of the "territory" level, but for them, "territory" is really a thing that is too far away and too high-end.

If they weren't in a big guild, it would be really difficult for most people to associate combat magic pets with "territory".

It’s right when you think about it.

What did the Great Crusade need most?

It's military strength.

Where did the military strength come from?

Buying a ship, renting a ship, buying insurance, buying missiles, and buying supplies all require money.

If you could cultivate a large number of combat-type magic pets that could be resurrected and grown continuously to replenish your troops, wouldn't this be equivalent to saving a huge amount of money?

After being prompted by Cucumber Pian, most players suddenly understood the true value of combat magic pets and angel crystals. It is no exaggeration to say that they are strategic resources.

Of course, there will still be a small group of players who stand out and criticize the setting of combat-type magic pets.

But no matter what, a huge movement with the ultimate goal of acquiring territory, the accumulation of Great Expedition capital as the internal driving force, and the use of money, lottery opportunities, and angel crystals as links to connect all players has completely taken shape.

Under the interplay of multiple factors, the number of angel crystals in the Black Hole Magic Academy has increased.

Li Nuo, who was planning all this behind the scenes, estimated that in up to three months, he would be able to accumulate enough angel crystals needed to rescue the assassination angel.

By then, the overall strength of the players should have reached a higher level, enough to help him raid the space station that sealed the Assassination Angel.
