Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 160 Finally opened a new map
"So you don't have to be afraid. We are all good people. Do you understand?"

Sitting on the bench in the church, Morton knocked on his empty head with a blank look on his face.

"Wait a minute, let me take care of it."

"Underneath the dark forest, there is a house that is controlled by the devil..."

"Soul Spirit Holy Seat."

"Ah, yes... the underground city occupied by the Holy Seat of Souls. On the surface, you are a doctor from Sunshine City, but in fact, you are their envoy sent out to collect intelligence."

"Yes."

"Then I was attacked by a violent creature and died. You pretended that you wanted to cremate my body, but you actually took it to the dungeon to resurrect me."

"Correct."

Morton grinned and scratched his beard.

"Then...can I still see my son, Charlie...and the rest of the team?"

"of course can."

Ji Ming took out a wooden box out of thin air and weighed it in his hands.

"They will leave Sunshine City tomorrow. I will forge a copy of your ashes and put a detection device in it. After they have gone far, I will bring everyone to the underground city."

"This is the safest and most secure way. Reuniting everyone is the best solution."

Morton couldn't refute, but was silent for a moment.

"But... you are just a messenger, right?"

"What I mean is, even if you are willing, will the adults in the Soul Holy Seat be willing?"

This is my underground speaking hall, I can just say yes!
Of course Ji Ming didn't say that, but replaced the wooden box in his hand with a forging hammer.

"Morton, your Excellency once said that we have no shortage of warriors here who are good at fighting, but we are in short supply of talents who know a certain skill."

Morton took the hammer and suddenly felt that it looked familiar. He turned around and looked at it, only to realize that it was his own.

"...You mean you want me to forge something for you?"

"Actually, it's not just forging, basically everything... uh."

Ji Ming coughed lightly.

"Anyway, we don't have idle people here. You and Charlie Bailey need to set up a blacksmith shop for us. Stone and Anna also need to serve as the pioneers who come after the instructor training."

"But correspondingly, we will provide you with various raw materials, daily necessities, and full dignity as an intelligent life."

Although Morton didn't understand the second half of the words, but...

"Wait, Trailblazer? What's that?"

Ji Ming smiled and patted his shoulder.

"You will know in a week. In fact, the purpose of this dungeon's existence is to cultivate this group of lunatics."

Morton certainly couldn't build a blacksmith shop by himself, so Ji Ming took him to the dog village.

"Hey, blacksmith Morton, why are you here too?"

"Hawke? So you left Sunshine City and ran here!"

As a result, as soon as they landed, there was a drama of meeting acquaintances.

"Oh, let me tell you, the underground city is much more comfortable than the Sunshine City. Although the environment is a bit dark, it is definitely a good place to enjoy yourself!"

"Really, then please take me around quickly. I still have the work that the doctor ordered me to do..."

If you want to build a qualified factory or handicraft workshop, location is actually very important in addition to technology.

Either the transportation is developed and it is easy to get in and out both upstream and downstream.

Or it is relatively close to the origin of raw materials, which can save the most basic transportation costs.

So with Hawke's help, Morton quickly selected a few strong dogs from the villagers as helpers.

Then he headed non-stop to the iron ore cave that had been purified by Grayson, preparing to pick a place to build a workshop while prospecting.

It can only be said that bad parents are bad in their own way, but good parents are all equally good.

This bearded man can be so diligent, he must be anxious to pave the way for his son's future...

After sighing for a moment, Ji Ming came to Grayson's island in the middle of the lake.

"Lord God, regarding the hidden detection device you mentioned, I have already built this."

An emerald green seed the size of a soybean fell from the treetop and landed in his hand.

"Although I can no longer control it if it is too far away from the body, it is still possible to set it to continuously send out magic signals and continuously report its position."

Ji Ming picked it up with his fingers and looked at it.

"How long can it last?"

“Even for the first-generation product, at least three days is not a problem.”

"very good."

Ji Ming borrowed some branches from Grayson to burn the goblin corpse into powder. Ji Ming grabbed some of them, mixed them with seeds and stuffed them into the box.

I took off my gloves and checked them again, but I always felt like something was missing.

Grayson stretched out a few canes to roll down the wooden box, and then scratched it with a piece of hardwood that looked like a knife for a while.

When it was handed back to Ji Ming, the words "Forever Morton" had been engraved on the side.

"Now it feels right!"

He threw the mission prop "Morton's Ashes" into the warehouse and supervised the excavation progress in various parts of the dungeon.

Ji Ming first went to a far away pub for breakfast, then pretended to be busy and returned to the clinic in a hurry.

Adele, who sent Stone and the others away, has returned and is sitting behind the counter with red eyes.

Ji Ming had no choice but to restrain his expression and pretend to be like "My friend died and I am very sad."

But no matter what happened, life always has to go on, so soon patients came to the clinic.

But Ji Ming noticed that although the clinic's business volume increased in the past two days, there were many fewer critically ill patients.

Not because of the violent creatures Asasi, but because they are so "Asasi".

After an attack, one can either survive with minor injuries or be killed on the spot. There is no intermediate state of mercy, especially "saving money".

And from the mouths of these patients, Ji Ming also learned more about the violent biological attacks on East Street.

...It can only be said that if Stone and Anna had not arrived in time, I am afraid that the Iron Chain team would have lost more than just Morton.

"Hmph, it's better to rely on yourself than relying on these hawks and dogs who can only collect money!"

"If they could have arrived earlier, the family next door to me wouldn't be dead!"

"And those damn hospitals, especially Andrew's, have really increased their prices!"

Ji Ming listened to the complaints of the patients all day with a smile, and went to a nearby store to purchase another batch of raw materials and tools that Morton needed.

This time he did not come to the Holy See or the Dog Village, but directly to the edge of the military camp.

The closed beta test is over, and while players are busy surfing the Internet, he still has a lot to do.

For example, explore the entire underground plain and try out how deep the water is here for the players.

For example, prepare more than a thousand corpses and a large amount of equipment, as well as all the accounts and battle requirements required for internal testing.

For example, carry out a wave of renovations on the entire dungeon and do the logistical work required for internal testing.

Another example……

After blowing on the thick layer of dust on the long table, Ji Ming directly telegraphed the sound to a distance of three meters.

——The player is not as slovenly as the Mad King. If you want to use the garrison camp as a new base, you must at least clean it up.

Of course, the above projects require either money, effort, or both.Although there is Grayson and Dog Village, and occasionally the little boss can help with the game, there is no shortage of manpower.

But when it comes to funding... just relying on a crooked tree clinic that takes the affordable route to build its reputation is simply not enough.

Therefore, in addition to these, Ji Ming still has the most important thing to do.

That was to go to the home of Dean An, Andrew, the chief sponsor of the internal beta stage of "Code Name: Yangyue" that he unilaterally determined.

Do it yourself, without disturbing the people, and very politely, take hundreds of millions of supplies.

but.

Now the main manpower direction of the dungeon is to collect the corpses first. If you want to decorate it, I'm afraid it will take another two days.

So instead of going to Andrew’s house today, let’s go to the underground plain first.

Whether it was because of the battle ten thousand years ago or the subsequent mountain collapse, the gate connecting the military camp to the underground plain has been buried by a large amount of earth and rocks.

Fortunately, this is not a problem for Ji Ming.

Although it took him two days to dig in, now he can carve a way out as long as he uses his authority over the dungeon.

As a result, a large amount of earth and stones were transported away, and the vacated cave was quickly supported by strong wooden boards and pillars.

Following this tunnel, Ji Ming passed through the thick mountain wall and stepped onto the underground plain...

"Wow."

Unlike the underground city that was full of ruins, the underground plain was not only much brighter, but also had much higher vegetation coverage.

Therefore, on the other side of the Bantun military camp in the dead city, there was actually a large area of ​​fluorescent grassland.

The system also popped up prompts in a timely manner.

[Congratulations to the host for finding a qualified internal testing site! 】

[The internal testing site you discovered is: Underground Plain]

[The complete map of this place has been expanded, please check]

The 3D holographic map that originally only had some explored areas in the underground city and Sunshine City suddenly expanded, extending a lot toward the east.

Ji Mingzai looked at it carefully and found that the space here was indeed much larger than that of the dungeon.

And there are indeed many species, and there are countless tribes, large and small, among which there are six or seven that can be called fighting strength.

"This is the real magical world. The dungeons are too monotonous!"

[Are you sure you want to use this place as an internal testing site? 】

【It has been identified】

【Loading】

In an instant, the rough game map was refined again, and the major tribes that were originally just icons became available for reference.

And unlike the dungeon that had become empty, the vast plain was dotted with moving white dots everywhere.

White means "developable NPC". If you or the player grasps it, it can be transformed into a green friendly existence.

Ji Ming enlarged the map and checked it one by one, and found that the highest level among them was actually a senior mage with level 41.

That was a Cyclops who was almost born to be a spellcaster, and the demon tribe he owned was also the most powerful one in the dungeon.

Judging from the size and scale of the white spot, I am afraid that only the iron hoof tribe diagonally opposite can barely compete.

However, when Ji Minghua pulled up the map and prepared to see the specific level of this group of tauren, he suddenly discovered that among the white, there were even sparse dots of red mixed in.

???

Ji Ming frowned and clicked on one of them, only to realize that he had wronged the [-]th generation of the ancestors of Weiyi.

——They are not violent creatures, but...

Mountain mercenaries?

If someone inside Sunshine City had already discovered the existence of this underground plain, why didn't even the slightest news come out?

Ji Ming thought for a moment and suddenly realized.

No matter how greedy the Business Federation is, Cooper will still be there to help; no matter how chaotic the Adventurers Association is, there will still be Boris backing it.

Only this mountain mercenary alliance has been a complete enemy from the first time he dealt with them.

Because just like mercenaries in the real world, their only purpose in coming to Sunshine City is to make money for the nobles.

If you can develop the underground plain alone and capture all their needs and markets, then why should you share it with others?

……

Damn it!It shouldn't be fast forwarding directly... No, it's going backwards to a slave society, where triangular trade is going on!
Ji Ming put on a breath-closing charm and teleported to the side of that team.

Although it was said to be a small team, it was actually only three people. They were sitting around under a tree, eating the wild fruits on it.

"Bah, it's so sour!"

The youngest one took a bite and spat it out on the spot.

In many cases, the breakdown of adults is in a flash.

When his resentment reached its critical point, he simply stood up and poured out the bitter water angrily.

"Damn it, the master asked us to come to Heisen to make a lot of money. Why do we have to come to such a dark place?"

The middle-aged mercenary on the side smiled coldly, but did not comfort him.

"Knight Zog, or mercenary Zog, put away your ridiculous childish temper, there is no use getting angry here!"

The other, older mercenary said nothing and was still chewing the fruit calmly.

"Zorg, Lord Andrew is a big shot who will bow three points to the Baron whenever he sees him!"

It wasn't until I swallowed it slowly that I managed to say a few soft words.

"Think about it, if our mercenary group can do this task well and make people willing to be my ally in the noble circle, maybe we can get an extra reward!"

When he heard that there would be additional rewards, Zog's face looked a little better.

But even when he sat down again, he was still mumbling, as if he had a belly full of complaints that couldn't be calmed down.

As a result, the middle-aged mercenary's face gradually became ugly, and he cursed in a low voice while biting his back teeth.

"Damn it, it's okay to go to this place where birds don't shit and get angry, but you still have to take care of the child..."

"Hey, You……"

Zog's anger that had just extinguished was aroused again. He pointed at him and was about to say something, but his tone suddenly rose.

"careful!"

However, the figure that suddenly appeared had already hit the middle-aged mercenary on the back of the head with a shovel, and approached behind the big brother.

There were two crisp sounds, followed by a muffled sound like a corpse falling.

Zog was so frightened that his face turned pale. For a moment, he didn't know whether to run or stay. He could only freeze in place and tremble.

"I just heard someone mention Andrew?"

The dark shadow gradually approached, and the light from the fire illuminated his face. It was Ji Ming who couldn't restrain himself from taking action.

"Now, tell me all your missions and goals, otherwise I will... Why did you cover your eyes?"

Zog fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, shouting crazily.

"My lord, I saw nothing! Nothing!"

……

This is still a smart man.
