From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 26 Recruiting NPCs
Players in the forum all @Lemon Duck.

However, Ning Mengya did not reply for a long time, and the players could not help but start to make wild guesses.

Hammer all the pretenders: "Haha, I told you before that he was pretending, but you didn't believe me. I'm afraid all the NPCs are dead now. I cancelled my account, changed my ID and secretly reopened it... What a pity, I was planning to lead the troops to test the strength of his so-called intermediate militia!"

"Yes, Brother Bi's analysis makes sense. Intermediate militias need a second-level barracks, and a second-level barracks requires 1 gold coin. Even Boss Xing Daorong doesn't have so much money to build an intermediate barracks, so how can he do it?"

"You were just being stubborn before! You're just a clown, I don't even dare to reply!"

"@LemonDuck, Mr. Duck, have you really reopened? Why don't you say anything? I believe you won't lie!"

"Don't @ him, he must have cancelled his account and ran away."

……

Ning Mengya looked at the many private messages and saw many posts in the forum. She felt depressed and had no intention of paying attention to this group of people.

However, the mighty General Xing Daorong has built a mansion for him. Zhuge Liang is so powerful, I also want to build him a mansion that is bigger than General Xing Daorong's!

But he seemed angry and he ignored me.

Ning Mengya held her chin in her hands, sighing constantly, and she didn't dare to enter the game. She could only complain to herself silently.

In-game.

Wang Dazheng sat in front of a house, lazily basking in the sun, then danced and boasted to Li Er and the others.

"You didn't see how powerful Zhuge Liang and I were on the battlefield. I only used one spear! And I stabbed that bandit to the bone!"

"My spear can pierce the bandits, not to mention the bandits. Even if the bandit leader encounters it, he will probably be pierced by me! Isn't it powerful?"

Li Er and his companions scratched their ears, not wanting to listen to Wang Da's nagging, and asked one after another: "How many bandits did Zhuge Liang kill?"

"Four." Wang Da said calmly.

So you killed a bandit and bragged about it for half an hour? You are amazing!
Li Er and the others were speechless.

"Tell me quickly, how did Zhuge Liang kill the enemy?"

Wang Da laughed and said, "That was really cool! That knife move was so elegant and graceful! Zhuge Liang shouted at the bandit leader: Come on if you dare, I'll give you ten moves!"

"Zhuge Liang is so stupid? Did he really let the bandit leader take ten moves?"

Wang Da said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about? How can this be called stupidity? This is called absolute confidence in oneself! What if he gave him ten moves? In the end, the bandit leader didn't even catch Zhuge Liang's sword and was beheaded by Zhuge Liang."

Zhuge Liang was standing not far away, and his face twitched as he listened.

Wang Da, that’s enough.

As if he saw Zhuge Liang, Wang Da stood up and walked over to him, saying, "General, how many people do you think the lord will recruit this time?"

Daming Village needs to develop, and the five of them alone are definitely not enough. Only by recruiting more people can they obtain more resources.

"General?"

What Zhuge Liang didn't know was that he had completely conquered Wang Da in this battle.

Wang Da scratched his head and said, "In the future, we will definitely have more and more soldiers. Dameng Village needs a general. Of course it should be you. Could it be me?"

Zhuge Liang: “…”

Generally speaking, only military generals have the ability to command and train soldiers. He is not a military general yet, just a mid-level militiaman. However, Wang Da is not wrong. Sooner or later, he will be upgraded to a military general!

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, then said, "Go and take Li Er and the others to work."

"Oh." Wang Da nodded and left.

...Ning Mengya returned to the game again, opened the panel to check the properties as usual, and then exchanged all the resources currently obtained into coins.

[Congratulations to the player for passing the novice period, reward: village upgrade*1]

[Dear players, the battle for the throne has officially begun. Please note: 1. The beasts on the mountains in your territory will no longer refresh, and firewood will no longer refresh. Resources may be exhausted at any time. 2. We have changed the settlement of all building facilities upgrades in your territory to currency. 3. Each time your territory is upgraded, it requires corresponding resources, and we will give you prompts. 3. There will be three more waves of bandits attacking your village. The interval between each wave of bandits' invasion is one month. In the next three months, players cannot attack each other. 4. The interval between NPC recruitment is 5 days]

[We sincerely wish the players: govern your territory well and eventually unify the troubled times]

The novice period is finally over, and the village upgrade is rewarded.

Ning Mengya immediately upgraded the village, and it had now become a second-level village.

[Fief]: Dameng Village (second-level village)

There is also an introduction below. The second-level village can build a second-level barracks, which can recruit 50 soldiers.

To build a third-level barracks, two conditions are required: 1. The second-level barracks is full, 2. There is a third-level village.

The third-level village requires players to use coins to upgrade, which requires 10 gold coins.

A third-level village will be upgraded to a first-level town. When it reaches a first-level town, players can build post stations, inns, and city walls.

Building buildings such as post stations and inns can generate income. The walls of first-level towns can play a certain role in protection.

These are qualifications that can only be obtained after upgrading to a first-level town, but second-level villages can build barns, and third-level villages can develop water conservancy projects.

In fact, Ning Mengya doesn’t care much about these. Her focus now is on how to upgrade the third-level village.

Because after the novice period, if you want to upgrade the barracks, there will be restrictions, not only the village level restrictions, but also the number of soldiers. Only after upgrading to a level 3 village and the level 2 barracks are full, can you upgrade to a level 3 barracks. If Zhuge Liang wants to upgrade the advanced militia, he needs a level 3 barracks.

This is what Ning Mengya cares about most.

But the problem is... she only has 35 silver coins, which is far from enough!

Now we can only recruit new NPCs. Once there are more NPCs, the speed of acquiring resources will increase. At that time, we will have enough money to upgrade the village and barracks.

However, before recruiting new NPCs, she decided to go to Zhuge Liang to apologize.

"That, Zhuge Liang."

Zhuge Liang looked at her indifferently and said, "My Lord, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Hearing the coldness in Zhuge Liang's tone, Ning Mengya said cautiously: "I'm sorry."

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "You are the lord, you can decide everything."

Ning Mengya took a deep breath and said, "I know I've been a burden to you. My performance on the battlefield was terrible. It's my fault."

She mustered up her courage, took a deep breath again, and continued:

"When the bandit leaders came over, I realized that I could check their strength. I saw that they were high-ranking militiamen."

"They have a bandit leader with senior militia strength, three bandits with junior militia strength, and an archer with junior militia strength."

"But you are just a mid-level militiaman... This is all information I already know, so I chose to change my mind and negotiate at the last minute, because I don't want to lose you!"

"The difference in strength is huge. If I still let you fight without hesitation, wouldn't that be sending you to your death? If I really made this decision at the time, what qualifications would I have to be a lord?"
