Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 670 Failed Mission

The veterans knew the times and put away their lazy ways and had to integrate into the new group.

This is why we have the scene before us where everyone is neatly arranged in a square formation.

Zhuang Mengxuan knew something must have happened. However, after her orders were disobeyed and she lost manpower, she did not have many demands on these veterans. She just said, "I have an announcement. The new reinforcements have arrived. You should have seen them. Next to me is the person in charge of this reinforcement, Li Daoxian."

"He will take over as vice-captain, and I hope everyone can get along well. If anyone has any complaints, they can raise them now."

After Zhuang Mengxuan finished her last sentence, she waited for the reactions from the people below.

On weekdays, any decision or notification made by Zhuang Mengxuan would be questioned by those below her. Although she was the team leader, she had to explain to everyone the reasons for her actions, even though she knew that many people below her did it on purpose and wanted to cause trouble for her and make fun of her.

But, unexpectedly, the people below were silent.

No one spoke, no one questioned.

Everyone seemed to have tacitly agreed to this.

Zhuang Mengxuan looked at the old man who was standing there silently, snorted coldly, and said, "Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled."

I don’t know why, but Zhuang Mengxuan just felt uncomfortable.

She graduated from the War College with the intention of showing her skills, and came here hoping to fit in with the group, so she tried her best to meet the various demands of the team members. Even so, she was still bullied and questioned from time to time.

But now, after the deputy captain, who was also airborne, beat them with tough measures, the team members who had originally bared their teeth at him now behaved obediently and said nothing.

Zhuang Mengxuan felt a chill in her heart. It turned out that one couldn’t be a good person.

She was too lazy to look at the people below. Since they had no objections, she would let Li Daoxian manage these people after he took over as deputy captain. She only needed to focus on the tasks and overall direction.

Zhuang Mengxuan said coldly, "Be prepared. A new round of tasks will begin in two days. Li Daoxian, come with me."

Afterwards, Zhuang Mengxuan turned around and returned to her office, and Li Daoxian followed her.

After the two left, the fat man turned around and said, "Dismiss, everyone, come to me to get your dormitories, and we'll go to the rest area later."

The players relaxed, and some of them used their wands to point, causing a flash of magical light to appear on the body of an old team member nearby.

Those old team members who had originally stood tall and straight suddenly relaxed at this moment, and their postures were no longer as straight as before.

It turned out that they had been imprisoned by magic before. Not to mention raising any objections, they couldn't even move. They were like stone statues, and only their eyes could move.

However, after being released from the magic restraints by the players, these veteran team members did not get angry, but instead asked these people with some curiosity: "Where are you from? Such strength should not be unknown. Why haven't we heard of it before?"

"Yes, and I feel like you have some secret technique. I always feel like your spellcasting speed and spell strength are not normal."

The veteran team members are interested in getting along with the players, so their attitudes are quite good.

Because of their rich experience, they know very well what kind of approach should be used for what kind of people.

Captain Zhuang is obviously an academic who just graduated from college. He comes from a wealthy family and is well protected. However, he still has some unrealistic fantasies in his heart. Even from a distance, one can smell the aura of weakness and vulnerability on him. If one wants to gain benefits from such a person, one must constantly exert pressure and negotiate and demand. For the sake of the overall situation, she will keep quiet.

However, when facing those guys who attack without saying a word, you should have a better attitude, especially when you can't beat them.

The fat man looked coldly at the team members who came over, and then looked at those guys who were communicating with the players and trying to get some information.

The team member in front of him seemed to have a high prestige. If there was no boss, he might be the one to take over as vice-captain.

The fat man guessed the identity of the person in front of him through the reactions of others, but he still didn't look happy. He just said coldly: "Don't try, this is not a secret. All of us have signed a contract with the boss. If you want to talk about any secret technique, then it is this contract."

"We have dedicated our souls to the boss. If you want, we welcome you anytime."

As he spoke, the fat man stretched out his hand, and a black tentacle appeared in the middle of his palm. The fruit on the tentacle transformed into a contract.

The old team member in front of him took a look and cursed in his heart, a bunch of lunatics, signing such a contract, isn't it equivalent to putting life and death in the hands of others? And all the secrets will be exposed to others.

It was an employment contract, but the content of the contract was extremely harsh. Not only did it require the provision of a partial soul imprint, but it also required the contract to collect information. In the end, all it got in return was its body being parasitized and an illusory right to resurrect.

Not to mention how much of the above terms you can control if you really agree to them, who would dare to bet on the resurrection authority? Even if you can really be resurrected, the wizard world directly harms the soul, and there are countless ways to seal it, so how can you guarantee that it will be effective?

The expenses are huge, but the returns are unstable. Will anyone really do such a deal?

Yes, and it’s a large area right in front of us.

The fat man knew what the guy in front of him was thinking, and said nonchalantly: "If you want to sign, you can always find me."

The fat man was not worried at all. After signing the contract, the magic crystal ring system formed in the body was a force that no one could resist. As long as they got along for a long time and saw each other more, they would naturally have ideas in this regard. As long as one person signed the contract, it would spread quickly and more and more people would sign it, from the initial Snake Eye to the later Snake District.

Write the boundaries of the contract terms clearly, even in a relatively harsh manner. When people later find out that they will not be enforced so strictly, they will be more likely to accept it.

The veterans and the players intentionally got along well, and soon it became a happy scene. The veterans helped the players get familiar with the environment, and the players secretly divided the veterans and recruited them to their own teams as guides. Having someone familiar with the battlefield could help them get twice the result with half the effort.

The two parties hit it off immediately.

Zhuang Mengxuan had never expected that she had consumed a lot of energy and resources, and even risked her own face to ask her brother for resources, but still failed to get the recognition of the old team members. However, when she just came here, she beat them up and assisted the wizards to do it. The people who were beaten even praised her, saying, "No fighting, no acquaintance."

On the second level, everything that happened would be reflected in Zhuang Mengxuan's consciousness. Seeing this scene in the rest area made her even more angry. She felt like her sincerity had been wasted. If she had known earlier, she should have removed the position of deputy captain and then had a direct fight with the dissatisfied people. Maybe the matter would have been resolved long ago and there would be no follow-up.

Zhuang Mengxuan walked in the corridor, and the magic power in her body was revealed because of her violently fluctuating emotions.

Li Daoxian smiled gently, looking at Zhuang Mengxuan who was showing her emotions clearly in front of him.

It turns out that I am still young and have too little experience. But it’s okay this way. It’s better to work with a girl who can’t hide her thoughts than to be on guard against a guy with ulterior motives all the time. There will always be some people who are smart enough to do stupid things.

Zhuang Mengxuan didn't know what Li Daoxian said to her. She went all the way to the office, asked Li Daoxian to sit down, and then said, "You are the deputy captain, so you need to understand the current situation on the battlefield."

She used the authority in the room to open up a number of information permissions to Li Daoxian.

"Here is the latest battlefield intelligence, as well as the mission we will be carrying out in three days. Take a look."

Li Daoxian nodded and collected the information presented before him through the revelation tree.

The first thing you see is the last failed mission, which was also the mission in which the former deputy captain died.

The Aquarius Palace where he was currently located was essentially on the battlefield, responsible for the environmental transformation part. This part did not need to participate in the frontal attack battle, but only needed to steadily transform the territory that had been expanded, and adjust the area to be suitable for wizard activities and cultivation.

When faced with a world with higher energy levels and more complete rules, it is impossible to achieve success in one fell swoop like the Wizarding Association did when it took in Blue Star. Instead, it requires steady and cautious operations.

Zhuang Mengxuan was arranged in Aquarius because of her brother's good intentions. Unlike the frontal combat teams like Aries, Taurus and Leo, the risk is much smaller. Aquarius occupies the function of stable logistics, so it is easy to complete the task and get a passing score. If you have the ability to move up, the improvement will be visible to everyone and it is easy to achieve results.

It’s a pity that things are unpredictable.

The logistics part, which originally had relatively low risks, fell apart during the last mission.

The Cyber ​​Dimension, which had been on the defensive, suddenly launched a "reverse analysis" operation, increased its forces on the front battlefield, and launched a large-scale counterattack.

The wizards' original momentum was thwarted, and the personnel in the transformation area were called back to the battlefield.

On the other hand, the main AI consciousness of the cyber dimension has been dormant for a long time. Through a special coincidence, it awakens the AI ​​troops close to the transformation area. Taking advantage of the opportunity to pull them out, it wants to directly capture the "wizard sample" to improve and supplement the "non-standard physical model".

Zhuang Mengxuan discovered something was wrong at the first moment. The AI ​​logic of the hostile forces that appeared around the transformation area was obviously not exactly the same as the AI ​​information shown in the current data, and there were very few features that could be matched, indicating that these AIs were the products of the latest iterations.

The fact that they were able to appear quietly near the reconstruction zone shows that they were at least prepared and their plans were not small.

Now a large number of personnel in the transformation area have been transferred to the front line, and the defensive force is relatively empty. Except for the Aquarius Palace's own manpower, most of the people left behind from other teams are seriously injured, and it is impossible to count on the combat effectiveness of these people.

Therefore, Zhuang Mengxuan thought that in order to be safe, they should shrink the defense range of the renovation area, transfer personnel, and only defend the key areas. The outer renovation areas themselves have not made much progress, so it is okay to give them to the other side. As long as they can delay for a while, with the help of defense measures inside the renovation area, at least the renovation area can be guaranteed to be safe.

The deputy captain had a different opinion. He observed that the AI ​​troops near the transformation area were very few in number, and their movements were strange and stiff. They did not look like combat troops but more like out-of-control troops.

They and their companions had the advantage of geographical location and could take the initiative to attack and eliminate these AIs. After all, after shrinking the defense line, the transformation progress of the outer areas would be affected. If these AIs were allowed to recapture the outer areas through their own world will, their mission completion would be affected, and they would be blamed for poor defense.

However, Zhuang Mengxuan forcefully implemented her own ideas, withdrew the personnel, defended the core area, and abandoned the outer part of the transformation area.

The deputy captain was reluctant but still did as he was told.

As a result, over the next week, these AIs wandered around like headless flies, and accidentally took back many areas. Some well-trained wizards saw the scene outside and made tentative moves, but those AIs scattered and fled in panic without any desire to attack, and even left behind many combat troops.

The combat wizards tried it several times and found that these Ai were surprisingly easy to fight. Moreover, protecting the transformation area and getting rewards for annihilating the enemy were quite meritorious. This also attracted more and more wizards in the transformation area.

As more and more wizards achieved victories, the people of Aquarius became a joke in the transformation area. They were frightened by the stupid AI and became cowardly. Such arguments became more and more common.

Many people joked that they should stop calling it “Aquarius” and change the name to “Milk Bottle Palace”. After all, the battle was too terrible and they were so scared that they ran away in panic.

Zhuang Mengxuan didn't care, because she knew very well that Aquarius Palace's responsibility was to ensure the safety of the transformation area. As for the out-of-control AI outside, Aquarius Palace was not responsible. As long as they did not launch a large-scale attack, they would not take action for the sake of safety.

If it really is a small group of out-of-control AI, then let the war wizards recuperating in the transformation area hunt them down, and they will be hunted down sooner or later.

If not, then the other party is disguising themselves for other purposes, so it's definitely better to be careful.

However, Zhuang Mengxuan could not care less, but her teammates did not have patience. There were too many out-of-control AIs, and they seemed to be still learning. At the beginning, they ran away when they were beaten, but now they can actually gather together to resist.

They cooperated with each other to escape, and many merits that could have been won were lost just like that.
In the transformation area, more and more wizards recovered. So the wizards spontaneously united and planned to launch a hunting and recovery operation.

Deputy Captain Aquarius also participated in this event, and he participated privately with his team members.
