Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

After putting away the [Fire Cloak (Purple)], this batch of items has been inspected.

Currently, Zong Shen still has four [Level V Lucky Bags] on hand that have not been opened.

After everything has been opened, this round of concentrated unboxing has come to an end.

After a large number of new items and equipment are put into the warehouse, they will soon be converted into resources for the development of the territory.

The past few days have been a time of major infrastructure construction. The heroes and farmers took turns working overtime, and Mariel had no time to rest until the early morning.

The newly added heroic talents have basically integrated into the territory and are engaged in different tasks.

Most of these new heroes come from Unclaimed Territory. When they compared the past with the present, they immediately understood what Zong Shen was so awesome about!

This is the difference between the big brother and the bad brother.

It is impossible for ordinary lords to have such a large territory and population at this stage.

Living and working in such a territory makes it easier to gain a sense of belonging and accomplishment.

In order to prevent another large item from being drawn, Zong Shen planned to check the remaining four lucky bags outside. After thinking carefully, he really didn't have anything in short supply.

I just want to get more high-end equipment and more powerful heroes and warriors.

It's best to draw some epic buildings or wonders.

Of course, he is also willing to accept equipment and magic items of other levels. After all, Mr. Zong has a big business now and has many heroes and warriors under his command who are still waiting to change their costumes.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and took out all the remaining lucky bags in one go.

Without any further hesitation, he directly chose to open it. Every time he opened the box or lucky bag, it was a game of luck. Facing countless unknown treasures, Zong Shen's sense of anticipation could never be exhausted.

All four lucky bags were opened, and light balls of different colors emerged.

After opening, the lucky bag turned into white light particles and disappeared. It was probably recycled by the lord system. The lucky bag is different from the treasure box. It looks like a linen bag, so even if it is recycled, it will be useless.

Lines of successful activation prompts appeared in front of him, making him want to complain.

Is it possible that it will still fail to open?

In fact, there are cases where activation fails.

For example, you may be violently attacked and die immediately when you open it, or you may suddenly trigger space magic when you open it, causing a large displacement, or the treasure chest or lucky bag may be attacked by other lords during the short interval when you open it...

Situations like this will result in startup failure.

Because the opening process is not completed instantly, there is usually an interval of one or two seconds.

This is the time from opening to the light ball appearing.

The "invincible" status of treasure chests and lucky bags will be broken. Once they are attacked by a strong enough attack, they will fail to open. In addition, if the opener dies or moves, the treasure chest will also fail to open.

Although the probability of these incidents occurring is very low, it does not mean that they will not happen.

Anyway, Zong Shen would never let such a terrible thing happen to him!

He first put all the light balls into the storage compartment, and then looked at the successful activation prompt.

…

All four lucky bags have been opened.

Two of the lucky bags contained three items, which was considered extraordinary in terms of the total number of items.

Moreover, the level and quality of the items released in this last wave of lucky bags are obviously higher.

Needless to say, there are orange and gold level items, there are also many unknown and special items, and the proportion is not small, which can be regarded as a satisfactory ending to this concentrated unboxing.

It's a pity that these lucky bags are all V-level items that cannot be opened at the brilliance level. If there are level VI lucky bags, they can be opened above gold.

As for those [Special] and [Unknown] items, these two levels are not considered a conventional level system.

Theoretically, it is possible for even black iron treasure chests to produce [Special] and [Unknown] items, but the probability is lower. The higher the level of treasure chests or lucky bag items, the more items of these two levels can be obtained. There is a certain probability of bonus.

Therefore, in the past, Zong Shen often opened [special] or [unknown] items from silver-level treasure chests.

After checking the opening prompts, Zong Shen also had a rough understanding of the harvest of the last wave.

Zong Shen carefully inspected the items he received as usual.

First take out a special recruitment scroll.

This thing is different from the previous soldier recruitment scrolls and hero recruitment scrolls, and it is not a different-dimensional recruitment scroll.

What it can recruit are ghosts, to be precise, the ghosts left behind after the death of an adventurer named Jacques Picard.

As a special recruitment scroll, the runes on its surface are drawn with purple ink.

There are also many symbols representing the undead and the resurrection of the dead, which look a bit like those undead sacrificial scrolls.

But since this thing is recognized as a [special] item by the lord system, it must have its unique features and uses.

Even if it seems useless on the surface, there must be some hidden purpose.

This is Zong Shen's experience summed up. So far, every [Special] and [Unknown] item he has encountered is simple and basically has a hidden mission or function.

Therefore, as the first ghost recruitment scroll he got, he was still looking forward to it.

With such complicated emotions, he turned his attention to the scroll itself, and as he concentrated, the relevant attribute information also emerged.

[Adventurer: Jacques Picard’s Ghost Recruitment Scroll (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[(Click to recruit)]

[The ghost of the great adventurer Jacques Picard will be recruited for you]

[The ghost’s initial loyalty to you is 90 points by default, and it can perform most tasks unconditionally]

[As a great adventurer, Jacques Picard has profound knowledge and is familiar with the history of the continent, which can be helpful to you in exploring the ruins]

(In terms of information acquisition, it has almost no effect on you, but in terms of exploring ruins and dangerous places, The Ghost of Jacques Picard still has some special advantages)

Zong Shen read through the information on the recruitment roll and the tips on the strategy notes.

As far as obtaining information is concerned, you can completely rely on the strategy module.

Every time you explore a ruins, the strategy module can always tell you clearly the origins of the ruins, the secret locations, and even the estimated harvest.

There is also a fool-like navigation pathfinding operation so that he will never get lost.

Therefore, in terms of information acquisition, Zong Shen does not need to rely on any adventurers, as long as there is a strategy module.

But just because he can't use it himself doesn't mean that others can't use it.

Especially since he just lured Zoe Babbitt back and promised to form a Breath of the Wild adventurer team. It just so happened that the ghost of Jacques Picard could join the adventurer team to assist.

And even the guide notes say that this adventurer's ghost has some special advantages for exploring ruins. The details will have to wait until it is recruited.

After thinking for a while, Zong Shen decided to recruit on the spot.

When he chose to use it, the recruitment scroll in his hand suddenly turned into a purple thunder and flew to the open space not far in front of him. A blue-white shadow appeared in the place among the purple lightning.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, this shadow looked particularly strange.

It was wearing a leather hat, a khaki stand-collar windbreaker, a pair of high-top boots, and a cowhide belt hanging on its waist, with a dagger, a water bag, and a A small bundle of rope and a small telescope.

When the purple thunder disappeared, the shadow walked up to Zong Shen and bowed slightly to him.

"Thank you for the call."

"Jacques Picard will be at your service!"

"God knows how long I stayed in that dark place!"

"It's great to be able to return to the mainland!"

Its voice is very deep, not like that of a young person.

Because his face was hazy, Zong Shen couldn't see its appearance.

Just from the looks of it, Jacques Picard’s ghost is no different from other recruited Territory citizens.

Zong Shen also gave a snake oil reply as usual.

"Adventurer, you are welcome to join us."

"May you find your own belonging and glory in the territory."

Hearing what he said, Jacques Picard bowed again.

It seems that this adventurer ghost does have some wisdom.

After completing the process of effectiveness, it took the initiative to stand beside Zong Shen and behind him.

Zong Shen turned his head and glanced at Jacques Picard, and also saw its attributes.

[Ghost: Jacques Picard]

[Qualification: None]

[Level: None]

[Attribute: None]

[Hunger and satiety: none]

【Loyalty: 90】

[Term limit: Resurrection (after receiving devastating damage such as purification, holy light, annihilation, etc., you will recover after a period of time, the specific time depends on the damage)]

[Term limit: nothingness (has no entity, does not have any attack capabilities or the ability to interfere with the material in the main world, and can perform limited terrain penetration and wall penetration)]

[Term limit: Photographing objects (with 10 storage compartments, capable of photographing and collecting unowned objects at a certain distance)]

[Term limit: Shadow Stealth (can enter a state of complete stealth, and will not be detected by ≤6th level detection magic and true seeing eye)]

[Term limit: Adventurer's Eye (can see through illusions, stealth and disguises not exceeding level six, and can also discover clues in ruins and dangerous places)]

After Zong Shen read its attributes, he couldn't think of a suitable adjective for a while.

This guy doesn't have any attack capabilities or regular attributes.

It can't even interfere with the world's matter. In other words, it is just a projection.

Those few qualifiers have clearly described its capabilities.

First of all, it can sneak in stealth and penetrate walls. It can also see through disguises and illusions and find clues to ruins.

In addition, it also has the ability of [resurrection], just like reappearing after the projection dissipates.

Coupled with [Photography], Jacques Picard became the strongest scout for ruin exploration.

Many times he can go directly through the wall, find out the situation and then report it, or even directly take away the ownerless treasure first.

However, this guy is invisible and invisible. He can sneak and walk through walls. He can come and go freely in the territory, leaving Zong Shen without a sense of privacy.

He had to issue a special order to keep this guy away from his room.

Zong Shen thought for a while, but didn't say much.

After all, Jacques Picard has an initial loyalty point of 90 points, which is not low.

While Zong Shen was thinking, Jacques Piccard was also observing the situation in the territory.

It suddenly squatted down and stared at the soil on the ground for a while, seeming to understand its location.

"The elven city, Azshara."

"The burning city, the destroyed city, the city of piled bones..."

It said softly, it seems that the era when Jacques Picard was active should be after the destruction of Azshara.

Zong Shen did not respond to it, and both parties needed a certain amount of time to understand each other.

He was ready to look at the next item.

This is a palm-sized golden card coupon with a paragraph written on it in common Chinese characters.

"Money is the freedom that is minted!"

In addition, there are no runes on the surface of the card.

Because this card is not a magical item, but a [privilege] item.

The so-called [privilege] refers to the effect of this item realized by the lord system.

After Zong Shen read its related attributes and functions, he suddenly realized that he still didn't have enough money!

[Dinar privilege exchange coupon (gold)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Money = Privilege (With this redemption coupon, you can view the dinar privilege exchange list below level six, and consume a certain amount of dinar to redeem the designated privilege effect)]

[Number of exchanges: 0/10]

[(Click to open the redemption list)]

(Dinar is of great significance. It is the real currency of choice. In addition to being used in transactions with indigenous people, it can also buy you privileges with obvious benefits, provided you have enough dinars.

As the coupon says, money is the freedom that is minted)

"You still want to do this?"

Zong Shen was almost overwhelmed by the endless chores in the lord system.

The importance of the dinar seemed to have suddenly increased a lot.

Originally, he was not too eager to make money. Compared with dinar, he preferred those high-end architectural drawings, high-end equipment and magic items.

But now, this concept needs to be changed!
