129 Investment! The Sneak Attack Of The Kobold Tribe!
Zhou Zhou looked at the fragment of the Lord Talent Crystal in his spatial ring.
There were a total of:
63 Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments!
Seven Green Bronze-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments!
Three Yellow Gold-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments!
Two Legendary-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments!
“I can upgrade my Incite Defection talent as long as I obtain another 37 Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments or three Green Bronze-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments.” Zhou Zhou thought.
This was not difficult.
He could achieve it after fighting a few more Scarlet Lords.
He continued to chat with the six Cerulean Planet citizens.
“What are your plans for the future?” Zhou Zhou asked a moment later.
“We plan to be professional adventurers in the adventurer team for a period of time. We’ll accumulate some funds after we’re completely familiar with this line of work and then we plan to form our own adventurer team.” One of the pretty girls with glasses said.
Her name was Lu Ruyi.
She seemed to be the leader among the six of them even though she was a girl.
“Professional adventurers face a lot of dangers and it’s very difficult to build an adventurer team.”
Zhou Zhou shook his head.
“Everything is dangerous and difficult in this world. We can only choose a path that is relatively better for us.” Lu Ruyi smiled bitterly.
“Are you interested in joining my territory?” Zhou Zhou voiced his thoughts.
“I can provide you with an initial capital of 5,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores.”
“In addition, you can also use your status as subjects of Blazing Sun City to join the contribution exchange system and exchange for what you want after becoming my subjects.”
“Take this as my investment in you to help you become powerful adventurers and form an adventurer team.”
“Are you willing to accept it?” Zhou Zhou asked.
5,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores were naturally nothing to him.
The Mist Cores he had obtained from sweeping the monster ranches today alone were more than 500,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores.
Therefore, he did not care about this small amount of money at all.
However, Lu Ruyi and the others were stunned.
5,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores was a huge sum of money to them.
With this funding, they could hire many Green Bronze-Tier experts to help them even if they decided to hire professionals.
“What do you want us to do for you?” Lu Ruyi took a deep breath and said.
Zhou Zhou wanted to say that they had already given him what he wanted.
However, he naturally could not say this.
“You can bring Cerulean Planet Lords who have given up their status as Lords in the future to me if you encounter them.”
“In addition, I might need some intel. You can try to gather the information I want.” Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and said.
Wu Tu gathered information on the side, but Zhou Zhou wanted to spread his risk out.
He needed more intelligence organizations to help him so he could invest in these people in front of him.
In any case, the cost was not high.
Everyone immediately understood.
So, Big Boss Blazing Sun had a need for intelligence work.
That made sense.
Adventurers came into contact with many types of existences, so it was indeed easier for them to come into contact with secret information that ordinary people could not.
Therefore, it was very normal to ask adventurers for information in the eyes of others.
“Can you give us some time to discuss it? We’ll give you an answer soon.” Lu Ruyi said.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then, the six of them went to the room next door to discuss.
They returned a moment later.
“We’re willing to accept your request to join your territory and become your subjects. We will accept your investment and work hard to build a powerful adventurer team for you.” Lu Ruyi said respectfully.
The next second.
A text notification appeared.
[Six humans request to join your territory and become your subjects. Do you agree?]
Zhou Zhou agreed silently.
After they became subjects of Blazing Sun City, Zhou Zhou opened the attribute panel of the six of them and realized that their loyalty were all basically above 75 points.
This included the effect of the Lord’s Talents.
Their initial loyalty was so high because they were sincere in submitting to him.
“Welcome to Blazing Sun City.”
“Do you have something on now?”
“If you don’t you can follow us back to Blazing Sun City to take a look. You’ll also know the location of Blazing Sun City so that you can come back in the future.”
“I can arrange a house for each of you when I get back if you want to live in Blazing Sun City.” Zhou Zhou added.
The six of them looked at each other.
“I’ll go pack my luggage first then.” Zhang Lansheng was the first to speak.
As soon as he finished speaking, the others said the same thing and went to pack their luggage.
Who could refuse this reliable sense of security to be able to live in the territory of the Strongest Novice Lord?
Zhou Zhou could not help but smile when he saw this.
This was his compensation to them for taking their Lord Talent Crystal Fragments in their bodies.
Hopefully, it will help them.
A moment later, a Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Sword Shield Soldier appeared before him before Lu Ruyi and the others arrived.
“Greetings, my Lord!”
“I’m a soldier serving in the Desolate City!”
“I’m here on City Lord Zhang’s orders to report something to the Lord!” He said respectfully.
“What’s the matter with Zhang Kaishan?” Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows.
“I’ve something to report, my Lord.”
“The Kobold Tribe in the Desolate Gobi Desert suddenly launched an attack on the Desolate City just this morning!”
“However, their attack strength is very weak, and there are only about 100 of them.”
“So we easily repelled them.”
“We were worried that it was a trap, so we didn’t chase after them.”
“Then, City Lord Zhang ordered me to come over and tell you about this.”
The soldier said respectfully.
Zhou Zhou narrowed his eyes.
He knew this Kobold Tribe.
The Desolate Gobi map drawn by Wu Tu recorded the location and military strength of the other party.
At that time, Zhou Zhou felt that the other party’s strength was far inferior to his and was unable to pose a threat to him. In addition, he was focused on passing the novice lord test and did not care about this Kobold Tribe at that time.
He did not expect…
It came knocking on his door before he could attack it!
“They are courting death!”
Zhou Zhou’s eyes were cold.
He had planned to attack the Desolate Gobi Desert and Thorn Dune.
However, he would start with them first now that the other party had taken the initiative to come looking for him!
Half an hour later.
Lu Ruyi and the others returned with their luggage.
Zhou Zhou did not waste any time. He led them out of Fish Spring Town and came to the 5,000 soldiers led by Wu Xin.
When Lu Ruyi and the others saw the vast army of 5,000 soldiers, they were immediately stunned.
“F*ck! There are so many professionals?”
“Oh my god, is this the strength of our Lord? No wonder he’s ahead of the other top-notch Lords.”
…
The six of them were shocked.
“Let’s not return to Blazing Sun City first. Let’s make a detour to the desolate Gobi and eliminate some enemies before returning.” Zhou Zhou said.
Lu Ruyi and the others were stunned for a moment before nodding.
…
Two hours later.
In the territory of the Kobold Tribe in the Desolate Gobi.
Zhou Zhou stood in the distance.
He looked at the groups of Kobold soldiers patrolling in the distance.
They had dog heads and human bodies and were each two to three meters tall. They wore black armor with strange patterns engraved on the chest armor, and they held all kinds of weapons.
A text notification appeared.
