Great stuff! Xiao Jie looked at the two dropped items in front of him, quite satisfied.
It seems that even the minor bosses in Luoyang Plain can drop some good items.
There’s no need to mention Rat Treasure; this kind of Magic Artifact with summoning effects is definitely rare. The most precious part is that the summoned rat pack can also conduct reconnaissance, a Magic Artifact with dual purposes, absolutely valuable.
And the greatest value of the other Mechanical Crossbow blueprint is that it can be replicated for mass production of Blue Equipment. Even if the cost is a bit higher, it still brings significant profit.
Especially since the equipment requirements for this Mechanical Crossbow are very low, it’s particularly suitable for novice players to develop and level up, definitely a godsend artifact for pioneering, capable of consistently generating profits if managed well.
After collecting the two drops into his bag, he planned to auction them together later. What’s next is a familiar routine, occupying the village, eliminating the remnants, and then summoning Little White Dragon to attract and comfort the refugees.
So the process of reclaiming villages and attracting refugees becomes smooth once you get familiar with the routine.
Of course, points must be added for team members.
This time not many players received extra points, mainly because the enemies were too weak to showcase much, An Ran got an additional 30 points—because she identified the enemy’s true identity in advance and transformed into a huge bear, defeating the Rat Demon army with one Ox Demon Split Earth Wave.
Jiu Jianxian gained 20 points, as he delivered the final blow to the Rat Demon Priest.
A few who killed the most enemies also each gained ten points.
After all the calculations and scoring, Little White Dragon arrived with his forces; Xiao Jie immediately issued an order, not stopping for a moment, and headed straight to the fourth village.
The last village really had nothing special to say, another village occupied by the Black Wind Mountain Bandits, just like Black Rock Village, same formula, same flavor.
As usual, I Want to Be Immortal battered down the door, the Magic System attacked from range to eliminate mountain bandit archers, Knights charged in formation, and melee fighters attacked from both sides...
In less than an hour, the fourth village was also successfully captured.
Xiao Jie checked the Public Opinion Value, after a day’s endeavor, Dragon Soaring Country’s Public Opinion Value in Luoyang Plain had reached 16%.
With this pace, it could take about a week to boost the Public Opinion Value to 100%, but it feels a bit slow, a week... that would consume more than 1000 Spiritual Energy Value.
It feels a bit of a loss, mainly because there’s little benefit to feel.
After all, battling such Monster Forces, Xiao Jie basically got no experience, only able to farm some average equipment drops, though there was some profit, he still felt something was missing.
It would be best if the speed could be faster.
But Xiao Jie wasn’t in a hurry, with no pressure at the moment, he thought to take it slow.
"Alright everyone, our action for today concludes here, you all did very well, today’s reclamation operation was hugely successful.
The most important thing is, there were no casualties, which is something to celebrate, don’t you think so?"
"Yes, President, indeed worth celebrating."
"Absolutely worth celebrating!"
Everyone agreed, and suddenly someone loudly said: "President, if you ask me, all this is due to your merit. Under your brilliant and valiant command, we could achieve such smooth progress, I say, President, you are indeed the greatest hero of today’s action."
Oh? Is there such a perceptive talent? Xiao Jie took a closer look, and it turned out to be an old acquaintance—Dongfang Sheng.
Didn’t see that coming, this kid has potential, worth developing.
"Ah, you flatter me, although I did command well, it’s all thanks to everyone’s concerted efforts, the merit belongs to everyone, I just played a leading role."
"That’s not how you should say it, a train runs fast all because of the locomotive, a troop is strong because of its leader. President, your wise and valiant leadership allowed everyone to utilize their strengths and advantages, making today’s operation go so smoothly. I think it’s only fair that President should get some points added, otherwise, I’d feel embarrassed to receive my points, what do you guys think?"
"Exactly, the President must take the highest honor." I Want to Be Immortal also chimed in.
Everyone got roused, Xiao Jie hesitated and said: "Ah, you’re putting me in a tight spot. Okay, okay, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I’ll just casually add a hundred points, can’t do more."
But no one raised any objections, firstly because Xiao Jie indeed commanded well.
Secondly, all the core members were his people, and the main efforts predominantly came from the Core Team members.
And thirdly, who dares to cross their leader—if they still want to progress?
Not only did no one oppose, but many perceptive ones directly Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories...
However, Xiao Jie naturally would not push further; a leader must also maintain a bottom line, a hundred points is just right, more would be inappropriate.
The scores were quickly calculated.
Xiao Jie never monopolized the scores, and he didn’t even make it into the top five.
The first place went to Dida La, with 160 points leading the group, this guy was almost always the main force in every battle, his Five Elements Magic was extremely useful against these low-level monsters, consistently topping the damage output ranking.
The second place was An Ran, who played crucial roles several times during her transformations, totaling 140 points.
The third place was Strawberry Coke; the Heavenly Master’s Daoist Skill was also very strong, playing key roles several times, scoring a total of 130 points.
I Want to Be Immortal ranked fourth, consistently earning 30 points from battering doors, eventually scoring 120 points...
