The copy has 0 error tolerance, and the last words on the ground are all wrong for me.

Chapter 355 The Queen's Favor

"What treatment?" Wu Chang's eyes shone with a light that was brighter than when he activated the Lake Light Holy Sword.

As the leader of the Mystic Knights and a noble appointed by the Queen herself, his treatment cannot be too bad.

Looking at Wu Chang's expectant eyes, Julie smiled silently, took out two small suitcases from behind her and handed them to Wu Chang.

There were two suitcases, one light and one heavy. Wu Chang first opened the light suitcase, which contained an exquisitely shaped metal key and below the key was a property certificate.

Julie said: "Of course we can't let our Grand Master of the Knights, the Queen's Sword, and his wife stay in a hotel in Grimland."

"This villa once belonged to a baron. His property once spread all over Stylan. Unfortunately, his family fell into poverty later on, so he sold it to the church."

"Although he is a new noble and his taste may be a little worse, the decoration of his house is definitely comfortable and luxurious enough."

Wu Chang looked at Julie in surprise and asked, "The church is also engaged in real estate business?"

Julie nodded slightly and said:
"Grimland is the center of the world economy. It is the place where a huge amount of wealth is gathered. No one can watch this wealth flow in front of them and remain indifferent."

Wu Chang asked tentatively: "Including the Queen?"

Julie's facial expression froze for a moment, she sighed and said:

"Your intuition was so sharp when you were at Moonlight Sanatorium."

The Church of the Holy Spirit is a product of the separation from the Holy See. Although it is a branch of the Book of Revelation, it only offers faith, not wealth.

Julie seems to be in power and manages the Holy Revelation Church, but the real leader of the church is Olivia.

Olivia appointed him as the leader of the Mystic Knights, but the housing allocated by the state came from the church's assets, because the entire church belonged to the queen.

Wu Chang took a look at the location of the villa, which was located in the western part of Grimland, far away from the eastern part where industrial pollution was serious.

He was very satisfied with the Queen's arrangement and immediately opened the second suitcase.

Compared to the first suitcase, the contents of the second suitcase were much simpler and more direct.

A stack of brand new money, each note was worth one hundred pounds, and judging from its thickness, the total should be ten thousand pounds.

The number may not seem like much, but the pound is the highest-level currency in Stirland and is directly linked to gold.

A coal miner's monthly salary is around 2 to 4 pounds, and the average life expectancy is less than years.

Ten thousand pounds is a huge sum of money that many workers cannot earn in their entire lifetime.

The detached villa with a garden that Olivia had just given to Wu Chang was only priced at five thousand pounds.

Her Majesty the Queen not only gave the Holy Sword, but also a mansion and a huge sum of money.

She wouldn't be trying to take advantage of him, right? He has brought his family back to Stellan, so it's so inappropriate.

Wu Chang looked embarrassed. They had invested so much money, so it would be a bit too much not to let them take a break.

He put the money in the suitcase into his personal space, and then asked in confusion: "What is this money?"

Julie said, "Your activity funds."

"The reconstruction of the Mystic Knights requires money, whether it's recruiting, training, or paying salaries. This money is just the start-up capital. If it's not enough, you can ask me for more."

Wu Chang had a confused look on his face.

Money, what money? Recruiting arcane knights requires spending money on them?

Among the arcane knights he had his eyes on, there were dungeon natives like Raventon. Their small group were all descendants of the Arcane Knights, and they were eager to restore the glory of their ancestors.

They all have enough money, so why do they need him to pay their salaries?

He didn't hire them, he gave them a chance to make a name for themselves.

The second type of recruitment target is Abyss game players.

As long as they join his forces, they will have the dungeon this time, and the side quest will be a simple win.

Regardless of whether they are in the first or second category, it’s good enough that he doesn’t charge these guys membership fees, so why should he give them money?

On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang.

Julie looked at the confusion on Wu Chang's face and thought that Wu Chang had no experience, so she said:
"Supporting a large organization is not like running a one-person firm in the New World. There are expenses in all aspects. You will understand when you encounter it."

"Once you have formed a basic team, I will help you find a property as the base for the Mystic Knights."

"The problems of money and location have been solved. The next step is to recruit people."

Wu Chang said, "I will pay attention to the matter of recruiting people recently."

Julie shook her head and said, "Don't be so stubborn. You've only been back to Stian for less than a day. How can you be aware of it?"

"Although Her Majesty the Queen has given you the authority to recruit members, not everyone is worthy of becoming a Mystic Knight."

"Pay more attention to Raventon. There are many people behind him who are in a similar situation as him. You can try to get in touch with them more often, but whether you can win them over depends on your personal charm and the conditions you can offer."

"In addition to them, the International Industrial Exposition is coming soon. The Queen has announced that she will display the most brilliant jewel in the crown of industry, the steam engine with extraordinary power, at the exposition."

"To witness the industrial supernaturalization, supernatural people from all over the world are flocking to Grimland. This is a good opportunity to recruit people."

"I have joined forces with the Alchemy Association and the Clock Tower Magic Association to convene an extraordinary gathering at eight o'clock in the evening three days later."

Julie said, pulling out four gold-embossed invitations.

Wu Chang took the invitation letter, took a glance at it, and saw the mystical runes on it to verify its authenticity.

According to Julie, Stian has developed a steam engine that involves the extraordinary field as the highlight of the International Industrial Exposition, and claims to make industry enter the extraordinary.

The shock this action caused in the supernatural world can be imagined. In order to witness whether what Olivia said was true or false, supernatural people from all sides flocked to Grimland.

Among them are extraordinary people from other organizations, independent extraordinary people without organization, and even players of the Abyss game.

The local supernatural forces in Stilan are preparing to take the opportunity to hold a job fair to recruit supernatural people who are worth winning over.

He held the invitation and asked, "Me, my wife Irene, and Ravington, three are enough. Who is the fourth one for?"

Julie smiled and said, "The invitation is not for you. As the leader of the Mystic Knights, you are of course one of the organizers of the party."

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows, which means that he was not a guest, but one of the recruiters.

"So they are..."

Julie said calmly: "We want to recruit the elite, not the rubbish."

"In order to screen out useful people, we have produced a total of 48 invitations. These will be randomly scattered around Grimland in the next few days, allowing extraordinary people to snatch them from each other."

"Only those who can get the invitation letter in the end are eligible to enter the party we hold."

"If you come across a place where extraordinary people gather, you can leave an invitation there to see if there are any useful people among them. If you can't send them out, insert the remaining invitations into the statue in front of St. George's Cathedral Square at 12 o'clock the day after tomorrow."

Wu Chang flipped through the invitation letter and had a hunch that this idea must have come from Julie.

As a teammate, Julie is very considerate and never hesitates to give necessary help, both in terms of manpower and material resources.

But Julie is very cold-blooded and has no mercy on the weak.

In the Moonlight Sanatorium, she dug a hole and used Kington to screen who was qualified to be her partner, and screened out all the players who entered the Moonlight Sanatorium.

Fortunately, the Steam Phantom dungeon does not take place in a closed area, otherwise eighty to ninety percent of the players entering the dungeon would be screened out by Julie first.

Wu Chang played with the invitation letter and asked, "How many of the 48 selected people can I recruit?"

Julie said, "That depends on your ability. As long as you like them and they are willing to follow you, it will be no problem for you to take all forty-eight of them."

Wu Chang asked with a smile, "Then the Alchemy Association and the Magic Association will have objections."

Julie said calmly: "You have the support of Her Majesty Olivia, they dare not have any objections."

Wu Chang took a deep breath. This time he really had to repay the Queen’s kindness.

Not only were they given props, houses and money, they were also given people.

After finishing her business, she sent Wu Chang and Irene to the villa and left immediately.

As soon as Wu Chang and Irene got out of the car, they saw a middle-aged man who looked like a butler standing at the door. The middle-aged man bowed slightly and said:
"Good evening, Mr. Sean. I am your butler Rost. Your luggage that you left at the hotel has been delivered to your house. Dinner is ready for you. If it is convenient for you and your wife, you can take your seat now."

Wu Chang took Irene's hand and said, "Let's go, ma'am."

While Wu Chang's real self and Irene were enjoying dinner, his true self, without the identity given by the Real Walker, was wandering in Grimland at night.

There are many things that are inconvenient to do with my real self's identity, so naturally my real self has to step in.

He heard that in Grimland, there were serial killers roaming around at night, and the Church of Tranquility was haunting, so he wanted to see what was going on. Not long after he walked, he heard energy fluctuations in the distance.

He activated his social phobia and elite stealth, and moved in the direction of the battle.

When I got to the front, I found that the ones fighting were not the killer or the Church of Tranquility, but a group of Abyss players.

The matching mechanism of the Abyss game is still very friendly to players other than Wu Chang.

Players who can rank in S-level copies are all top players in the Wilderness, and each of them is experienced.

They have all disguised their appearances and look more like natives of the Steam Phantom Plane, but when they use skills to fight, their identities will be easily exposed because the power system is not from this plane.

It was a melee involving nine players, four on one side and five on the other. They were very restrained in their attacks, and although the battle was fierce, they left some room for maneuver and did not fight to the death.

Judging from the core of the fight, they seemed to be fighting over something.

In addition to the nine people fighting in the field, there were several players watching around.

Wu Chang used his inspiration and the Eye of Breaking Law to take a quick look around, and found that besides him, there were at least four players watching the battle in front of them.

The four players are located in different positions and are far apart from each other. It can be seen that they are not in the same camp and are also wary of each other.

The players who can enter Steam Phantom are all the top players in the Wilderness, which means that it is easy for players that Wu Chang knows to appear there.

Among the four, one was actually from Wu Changshu.

If he is the player most targeted by the game administrator in the Wilderness, then the other party can be said to be the most unlucky guy in the Wilderness.

On the top floor of a three-story white house near the battlefield, Jian Xing was crawling on the roof, carefully watching the battle in the distance.

Each of the nine people fighting in the distance is a well-known figure in the Wilderness. Even the weakest player can be ranked in the top 200 on the Wilderness player combat power list.

Just saying one of their nicknames on the player forum would attract countless people to watch the big guy.

Hidden job transfers are rare in the Wilderness, but among the nine people fighting, the one without a hidden job transfer is the special one.

Jian Xing had to be cautious when spying on a battle of this level.

To be honest, Jian Xing’s current level is not yet 30. Unless he actively enters, he theoretically will not be included in the S-level copy.

But his job change to swordsmanship is too much of a plus, as it is a job change that can only be completed in the rational world, and he has always been in the top ten of the rational world job change list.

Even if he couldn't exert his full strength as a swordsman now, as long as he fired at full power, he wouldn't be afraid of anyone below in a one-on-one fight.

This allowed him to barely meet the standards and enter the Steam Phantom copy.

The good news is that the Steam Phantom copy has never appeared before. It should be a newly generated S-level copy, and the difficulty will not be much higher than the A-level copy.

The bad news is that no matter how simple an S-level copy is, it is still S-level. If you want to leave alive, you must be prepared to use up all your life-saving means.

But ten days later, it will be the day of the world copy.

Once Steam Phantom uses up all its trump cards, the world copy will become uncompetitive.

Everyone was trying to save their energy for the world copy, which made the battle below extremely restrained.

As Jian Xing was analyzing and recording the combat styles of the players on the field, a voice sounded from behind him:
"What are you looking at?"

Jianxing turned around suddenly and found a burly player who appeared behind him at some point. He was so scared that he almost attacked with his sword, but after seeing who was coming, he stopped.

"Peace?"

Ever since the existence of the world copy was announced in "Hotspots of Every Issue", it has become hard for players in the Wilderness Realm to not recognize the face of Heping.

Wu Chang said: "We meet again."

Jian Xing lowered his voice and said, "Quiet Town dungeon, thank you for your help."

Until now, Jianxing and the Administration have never thought that the hidden NPCs in the Silent Route are played by players.

So from Jianxing's perspective, the last time the two met was in the quiet town.

Wu Chang said indifferently: "It's just a piece of cake."

Jian Xing asked in a low voice: "Mr. Heping, are you here to snatch that thing as well?"

Wu Chang asked: "What are you trying to rob?"

Jian Xing shook his head and said, "It seems to be a token. I don't know what it is exactly, but our people have heard that if you get the so-called token, you can use it to freely choose which faction to join."

Wu Chang's face turned strange. Could it be that what they were snatching was the invitation to the occult gathering?

"Why don't you go and rob?"

Jian Xing said; "I am waiting for two people, one of them is you."

Wu Chang asked curiously, "Wait for me?"

After not seeing you for a few days, Jian Xing has become more capable of fortune-telling?

Jian Xing said: "This time, several members of the Administration entered the Steam Phantom dungeon with me. Among them, there is a senior who is very good at breaking through the dungeon."

"He said that the Steam Phantom instance is located in the same plane as the Moonlight Sanatorium instance. There is a high possibility that there is a connection between them."

"And he said that no matter whether Lord Peace has entered this plane or according to the matching mechanism, as long as Lord Peace has not obtained the qualification to enter the world copy in advance, he will appear in this copy."

Wu Chang narrowed his eyes. Many people knew about the Moonlight Sanatorium copy, but not many knew the corresponding plane number of the copy.

The other party can know it and write it down, so there is something.

Before he could continue asking, he heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from a distance.

A group of secret police dressed in black rushed towards the players fighting below.

"Grimland Police Department, stop fighting and give up resistance!"

The two groups looked at each other, decided to temporarily stop fighting, and fled in opposite directions.

The experience of top players tells them that before they understand the details of the copy, they should never go against the ruling forces in the copy.

Seeing that these damn extraordinary people not only refused to surrender but were preparing to escape, the secret police immediately opened fire.

The secret police use revolvers, which do not fire very fast, but the bullet speed is extremely fast, faster than most players' skills.

The bullet is not large in caliber, but it is extremely lethal.

A Strength player was slower, fell behind, and was shot by the Secret Police's bullet.

The bullet not only penetrated his defensive skills, but also penetrated his upper arm and nearly shattered his humerus.

You have to know that the players present are the top players in the Wilderness, and they are all little supermen in the real world.

The muscle density of strength players is extremely exaggerated. Not to mention small-caliber pistol bullets, even if it is an anti-material sniper rifle, without using any defensive skills and just using the body to block it, they will not suffer such serious penetrating injuries.

There is definitely something wrong with the bullets used by the secret police.

Jian Xing took out a small-caliber pistol bullet and said, "These secret police are an organization of Stilan that specializes in dealing with extraordinary people. Their bullets are specially designed to cause extra damage to extraordinary people."

"We tried to get a few, but couldn't figure out where their power came from."

Wu Chang said, "Can you show it to me?"

Jianxing said, "Of course, I carry it with me just to give it to you."

Wu Chang took the bullet. The bullet looked ordinary. Apart from a small gear logo engraved on the bullet tip, there was nothing unusual about it.

He could not see any occult runes in it, and after getting the bullets, no item information popped up in front of him.

But his inspiration told him that there was definitely something wrong with this bullet.

While Jian Xing was not paying attention, he took out the King's Medal worn by his original body from his personal space.

With the King's Medal, I could indeed see different information from the bullets.

「Item Name: Magic Bullet」 (Unlocked by King Badge)

「Item type: consumable」

"Item Skill: Breaking Demons"

"Skill Description: Improved based on the mechanism of the Demon-Breaking Crossbow, it causes irreversible damage to targets with extraordinary powers. This effect can only be used by natives of the plane."

"Note: This bullet is made by the Demon-Breaking Steam Press. This machine is the core of Stilan's suppression of the extraordinary and is the shining jewel in the crown of industry."
