Chapter 239 NPCs Caused My Partner to Cheat on Me (2)

“That’s right. Outsource!” William slapped the table. “Do you know what a nation values the most?”

Roderick was rather confused. “Gold coins?” he asked, looking dazed.

“No foresight!” William shot him a disgusted look. “Of course, it’s talented people. Who are they? Every Advanced professional, every outstanding mage, every wise man. All of those are talented people.

“However, what will war bring? Death. Countless people will die, and those talented people would die earlier than they were supposed to.

“But what if there’s outsourcing?

“We will take charge of both attacking and defending. The nation only needs to pay us a small number of gold coins and sit back and relax.

“Otherwise, if their regular troops die on the battlefield, they would suffer great losses!”

Roderick’s mouth twitched. “You’re too far-sighted. How can a nation outsource every war, especially when mercenaries aren’t very strong to begin with? In a real war, they will never be part of the main force.”

“That’s why I’m saying it’s important to have foresight. The mercenary teams now are a bunch of unruly executioners. They will do anything for money. The Mercenary Guild seems to be able to control them easily, but the truth is, they can’t achieve any great feat. Their services are extremely cheap, and you guys don’t earn much too.

“However, the City of Dawn can accept any outsourced missions. You didn’t hear me wrong. Any mission.

“In turn, this idea can create a diversified and multi-modal super mercenary team.” William boasted, striking while the iron was hot.

Roderick was immersed in the idea of a diversified mercenary team. It was only after 5 or 6 minutes pa.s.sed that he woke up from his trance. “Is the Black Lava Dukedom outsourcing work to you?”

“Of course. Otherwise, how can I, a neutral force, seize a human nation’s territory?” William laughed. “The King of the Black Lava Dukedom is tired of wars. Also, the endless dark creatures seemed to have scared him quite a little. That’s why he outsourced the job of protecting his nation to the City of Dawn.”

“Incredible…” Roderick couldn’t believe it, but this was the truth indeed.

It meant that the Black Lava Dukedom legions had not been handed over to the City of Dawn, but rather, they were disbanded on the spot!

However, what could a regular troop do other than being a soldier?

Would they go home and become a farmer, or would they become a mercenary?

That bunch of muscular men pondered for a while. But in the end, they decided that they would continue being a soldier.

Hence, with the exception of some professionals who weren’t soldiers, the others followed the legion commander and pledged loyalty to the City of Dawn.

Of course, to be able to accept so many soldiers at one go, it must have been planned by the City of Dawn long ago. The soldiers in the Black Lava Dukedom legion must have already pledged loyalty to the City of Dawn in secret. It could also be that the City of Dawn had planted some spies there. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

After a long discussion with William, Roderick happily left the City of Dawn. He was probably going to report to the Mercenary Guild headquarters!

After all, this was an important matter, and he couldn’t afford to waste time.

If the Mercenary Guild adopted this new profit mode, he would also gain many benefits.

Roderick understood that if the headquarters agreed to this idea and were willing to be the guarantor for the City of Dawn’s reputation, he would be William’s exclusive contact…

Roderick had another aim, completely replicating the diversified employment system which William mentioned. He would spread this news to the other mercenary teams.

As for how many mercenary teams could wrap their heads around this concept, it would depend on their team leaders.

The Mercenary Guild was not planning for the near future, but long-term success!

They had operated for thousands of years.

This diversified employment system could totally be considered as a long-term plan.

The City of Dawn would start off first!

One week later, William received a reply. The Mercenary Guild was going to be the guarantor for the City of Dawn’s reputation and would allow them to adopt a diversified employment system!

But first, William needed to come up with a concrete proposal that included details on how this system would work.

After Roderick went back, he had repeated William’s idea. But the head of the Mercenary Guild headquarters was a little confused.

Even though they knew that they could seemingly earn big bucks from adopting this system, they were not sure of how it worked.

The Mercenary Guild didn’t really understand.

The reason being that many mercenary teams worked based on a very simple and direct motto, Hard work!

This was how all the mercenary teams operated!

Killing people, transporting things, other than these, they didn’t know how to do anything else…

That was why on the Mercenary Guild’s side, they needed to replicate this system and spread the word.

As for the effects?

The Mercenary Guild knew that the effects wouldn’t be very remarkable, as the team leaders of the Mercenary Guild were basically all boors. They wouldn’t be able to comprehend this diversified employment system.

It would probably take several years before a few up-and-coming mercenary teams could get used to this system. Perhaps the Mercenary Guild would need to spend a lot of effort to be able to nurture this sort of diversified mercenary team.

After all, not every mercenary team was created by a neutral Lord.

Of course, the Mercenary Guild would provide the City of Dawn with other benefits. For example, if the Dawn Mercenary Team wanted to establish a base in the territory of other forces, they would be supported by the Mercenary Guild.

The Dawn Mercenary Team would have priority in getting a.s.signed several high-tier missions.

The most important thing was that the Mercenary Guild would take the initiative to search for some defense-type missions, and it would put the Dawn Mercenary Team in charge. They would slowly promote this sort of mission and inform all nations that mercenary teams were able to take on such defense missions.

However, this would happen step by step.

After all, one shouldn’t be too greedy…

The laid-back Prince William finally saw a strategy for the Fire Dragon Instance Dungeon on the forum. Someone even gained some standard-quality dragon blood!

That player directly sold it to a rich player at a high price in cas.h.!.+

The first appearance of a dragon blood reward made the Fire Dragon Instance Dungeon especially popular among players.

“Since there really is a dragon blood reward and there’s a strategy on this Instance Dungeon, it’s time for me to go and collect some dragon blood.” William posted a notice that he had drafted long ago.

Several players saw the notice immediately!

“My G.o.d, Prince William wants to collect dragon blood?”

“Redeem a first-grade Epic broken manual page in exchange for 100 drops of Epic dragon blood. Redeem a first grade Legendary broken manual page in exchange for 100 drops of Legendary dragon blood.”

“It’s not only limited to broken manual pages. We can exchange dragon blood for equipment and contribution points too. That being said, exchanging things other than the broken manual pages are not worth it.

“Prince William is crafty indeed, not leaving us with any loopholes at all.”

“Of course. Prince William is a landlord from the old civilizations. He only knows how to cheat players of their money and experience points. Nonetheless, he’s offering broken manual pages now… which we must get!

“After all, if we use contribution points to exchange for broken manual pages, how many of us can actually afford it?

“Back to the point, if you guys are extremely lucky and obtain the dragon blood, what would you exchange it for?”

A male player named ‘No Lover’ wryly laughed. “Of course, I would exchange it for contribution points to level up and become a core member as soon as possible. Prince William would only give me a wife then.”

“Sure, brother. But even if he does give you a wife, it’s no use if you can’t increase your affinity points to 1000 with her.

‘No Lover’ was deep in thought. Yeah, even if he had a wife, it would take half a year to increase their affinity points to 1000. He couldn’t interact with his pretty wife even if he wanted to. Also, it would be tragic if his wife cheated on him with an NPC!

Not only couldn’t he get intimate with his wife, but he also might get cheated on!

There was no need for doubts.

As there really were players whose spouses had cheated on them with NPCs!

Players and NPCs could actually fall in love?

Actually… It was because of the affinity points that players couldn’t interact with their wives…

And other NPCs took the chance and stole their wives!
