Somehow, the hot sales of the Body Tempering Pills in Xuantian City have also been known to other city-states.
However, it soon spread that the pharmacy’s store manager was a high-level talent who could make Body-Tempering Pills, and they needed to pay with the Tempering Fruit.
This made many people quite disillusioned. It turned out that the high level was not called for anything. They were the first to refine the Body Tempering Pill.
On the other hand, the mid-level NPCs may be better. They can refine a little by consuming more Refining Fruits. The low-level NPCs were simply a bottomless pit, or the probability of refining success was extremely low.
Who wouldn’t want such a pill that can improve strength?
The city lords who had no money or were reluctant to spend money cried. If they had known earlier, they would have hired a high-level talent NPC even if they had to sell their pots and iron.
Lu Jiu undoubtedly received orders from other city lords as the city lord. However, one Refining Fruit in the city can be exchanged for eight pills, and these purchases can only be exchanged for five.
Even so, the city lords still wanted to buy, because only Xuantian City was willing to trade with them, and other city-states could hardly meet their supply targets.
After receiving batch after batch of quenching fruits, Lu Jiu was so happy that she almost rolled over.
She took a pen and paper to register one by one: “Now these transactions are to pay a part first, and then continue the remaining transactions after receiving this part of the elixir.”
This transaction was still a one-handed payment and one-handed delivery, and those city lords didn’t have to worry about being cheated of materials.
Shen Jufeng flipped through the bills in the city: “How many tempering fruits did you receive today?”
Lu Jiu replied: “2,000, I only accept this many per week, forget about the extra, and wait for the next batch.”
Refining the elixirs took time for the two store managers, not to mention that there was still demand in the city.
Shen Jufeng put away the bill: “Are there still few alchemists now? If the city-state continues to upgrade in the future, will it be too difficult to rely on the store manager to refine important elixirs?”
Although these were NPCs, it does not mean that NPCs can refine potions infinitely, just like the store manager of a forging shop cannot make hundreds of weapons in a day.
Lu Jiu put her index finger on her lower lip: “I have considered this. When I hired them, the store manager was required to be a high-level NPC. The other apprentices were of no rank and belonged to the helper category. I will ask them later if they can hire an alchemist who is not a store manager.”
Now, she likes to chat with several store managers whenever she has something to do. High-level NPCs have their ideas. Since they have ideas, they have likes and dislikes.
After all, it won’t hurt to get along well with NPCs.
Shen Jufeng knew that she had been able to get ‘inside’ information from NPCs several times: “It would be great if I could know the scale of the beast tide.”
Lu Jiu snorted and laughed: “You are even more naive than me. How could the NPCs tell me this?”
At most, they told her some small news. How could they remind her of the beast tide, and the signs of the beast tide were obvious.
She looked at Shen Jufeng’s face and immediately changed the subject: “Speaking of which, the beast tide is about to besiege the city. We should also consider implementing the plan to get rid of Li Qiao.”
The woman has not made any move so far. It is impossible that she has been defeated. Instead, she also wants to find a way to deal with the beast tide.
Shen Jufeng said: “Don’t you have a plan? And I think the success rate is about 90% if it is implemented.”
Li Qiao was someone they must get rid of.
Lu Jiu was not reluctant about this. That woman did so many evil things, so she should have expected this end.
Li Qiao, who was far away in Changyuan City, was still preparing to deal with the beast tide. Now the city was full of wild monsters.
Her city-state was under her jurisdiction alone. The professional players here were restricted in their power improvement. To preserve their strength, Li Qiao didn’t let these people go out to clear the wilderness.
She had to wait until the beast tide came, and then gather strength to deal with it.
*
About three days later, the beast tide came.
Lu Jiu was awakened by the warning that the shield was attacked.
[System prompt: The shield is under attack, please pay attention to replenish the number of defenses at any time.]
The shield of the third-level city-state can resist one million attacks, and it has been attacked more than a thousand times in just a few seconds.
She stood up suddenly. The beast tide came in the middle of the night!
She was so angry that she wanted to give the system the middle finger.
She immediately emailed several teammates to inform them of this matter. If they didn’t see her, she would knock on the door later.
After getting dressed, she immediately sent a group email to notify every resident.
It was more than two o’clock in the morning. There were no mobile phones or TVs now. Not many people in the city stayed up late. For a while, very few people got up to check the situation.
As soon as Lu Jiu opened the door, she saw Shen Jufeng standing in front of her door.
“I have called Zhuang Yun, let’s go to the guesthouse to find Yong Lin later.” Shen Jufeng immediately stood up and called his teammates after seeing the email.
Lu Jiu nodded and said: “Okay, but I will use the image of the city lord to resist the beast tide.”
This was difficult to decide. They were now a well-known team in the city. Many people know her. It would be strange if she didn’t show up.
Shen Jufeng said: “Use this look first, and make a decision based on the specific situation outside.”
Lu Jiu listened to his advice and didn’t change her image.
Zhuang Yun opened the door and came out soon. His daughter was still sleeping at home, and he didn’t want the child to worry.
“Why did the beast tide come at this time?” It was simply torture. They also needed to sleep.
Lu Jiu was also helpless: “Who knows, let’s go find Yong Lin.”
When they arrived at the hostel where Yong Lin was staying, he found that Yong Lin was already waiting at the door of the first floor.
Seeing the three teammates coming, he immediately stepped forward: “I just looked outside the city gate, it was densely packed with wild monsters, extending to the forest, and all around.”
He got up and walked around the city wall, only to find that there were wild monsters all around, ranging from ordinary to bronze.
Lu Jiu looked serious. The scope of the fields in their city-state has expanded now, and most of these wild monsters were still in the forest. She doesn’t know when they will be dealt with.
Lu Jiu immediately urged her wings to the city wall first, and the three teammates followed closely.
After arriving at the city wall, the patrol NPCs with long-range attacks were already on standby on the city wall, and the melee ones were guarding the city gate. They couldn’t go out at this time, and it wouldn’t be too late to send them out when they were cleaning up.
Special torches had been lit on the city wall. The torches in the game world were very bright, and such a row almost illuminated half of the city-state.
Lu Jiu also clearly saw the situation under the city wall. There were all kinds of monsters flying in the sky and running on the ground.
There were more than a dozen of her favorite blue bull BOSS gathered here.
Shen Jufeng was not in a hurry, and he teased leisurely and elegantly: “The steak you like is below.”
Lu Jiu had a sour face. These steaks were not what she liked at the moment: “There are too many monsters. We can only deal with some of them with city defense weapons first, and then have long-range professional players deal with them.”
Shen Jufeng said: “Melee can also use wings to deal with them, even if it’s dealing with flying monsters first.”
