Chapter 142 Take over the Mark Caravan
At present, Bis may know some news about the collusion between the Centaur Tribe and the Star Demon, or he is simply the Star Demon's spy. But Gu Cheng feels that Bis is just a mercenary in the Mark Caravan, and even a spy, he is just a fish... However, at least there has been no results for the previous two consecutive weeks of investigation. Now he has finally caught a thread, and maybe he can get unexpected results by following the rules.
Just as Gu Cheng was thinking about how to find out Bis, the big brother and the little girl also came out of the dungeon.
"Mr. Reus."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Cheng casually posted a daily task to the two of them to escort everyone back to Sort City. The reward was two [random treasure chests (excellent level)], which was a reward for the hard work of the two.
To be honest, it took only a few days from entering Luogu Mountain to walking out of the Abyss of Wailing, but because of the difficulties along the way, Mark and the others felt that it had been as long as several months. The dangerous wilderness beasts, the sudden attacks, the sacrifice techniques of the sharp-fanged druids, all the invisible pressure made people breathless.
It is also because of this that when Mark's caravan passed through the grassland again and saw the city of Sot, the city in the middle of the two hills, even Mark, who had always been calm, showed a look of relief, not to mention the excitement of Seer and others as if they were escaping from death.
Although everyone still has a lot to do, now, a soft and comfortable bed and delicious and delicious food are their most concerned. After filling their stomachs in the hotel in Dongcheng District, the few people from the Mark Caravan couldn't wait to return to the temporary residence rented by the Chamber of Commerce and tied their heads on the soft bed, and then fell into a deep dream.
After Gu Cheng returned to Reus' home, he sent out all the remaining daily tasks today, with only one mission goal - "Investigate information about Bees".
The next day, after Gu Cheng went online, he sat up from Reus's big bed. The player of the No. 0 Machine, the big brother, the little girl and others had been waiting on the first floor for a long time.
After seeing Gu Cheng come down, they reported the information they found in the mission to Gu Cheng. For Gu Cheng's [Random Treasure Box (Excellent)], the players of No. 0 Machine were very eager to inquire about the news, and almost found all the information from Biss since he appeared in Sort City.
However, as Gu Cheng expected, Bis was just an ordinary mercenary before this wailing incident and there was nothing suspicious about it.
In desperation, Gu Cheng could only issue a "Search for Bis" task to the big brother and the little girl. The reward was [Random Treasure Box (Rare)], and he wailed in the abyss, and "by the way" increased the intimacy of the two. This made the two of them badly. They immediately took on the task and helped Gu Cheng find someone.
Gu Cheng casually compiled several players who sent out the Zero machine on a daily mission, and then lay alone on the sofa to browse the forum to see if there is any news related to the Star Demon in the Dark Source Camp recently.
Due to the mission of the anniversary preheating version of "The Battle of Super Time and Space", many posts are related to time and space cracks, Gu Cheng clicked on those time and space cracks one by one to see.
In fact, based on the strategy posts for these space-time cracks, space-time cracks are just random copies, which are not very difficult, but the difficulty is to find space-time nodes.
It only took half a month from the opening of the anniversary preheating version today. The prologue task requires a total of 9999 damage, and now there are only 3752 left, which shows how high the players' interest is.
"Dongdongdongdongdong."
A low knock on the door interrupted Gu Cheng's thoughts. He raised his head and looked at the door.
"Please come in."
Accompanied by Gu Cheng's voice, the door slowly opened, and then the blonde girl walked in.
Sali?
"Sari, why are you here?" Gu Cheng asked in confusion as he looked at Sali with a sad face.
Sari seemed a little difficult to speak. She lowered her head and held the Holy Feather Priest's long skirt with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Reus... can you help us?"
"Is it a Mark Caravan's problem?"
Hearing Gu Cheng's question, the girl's body trembled quietly, and her hand movements stopped slightly. Then, she sighed lightly and lowered her head helplessly: "To be honest, Mr. Reus, the caravan is in a bad situation at the moment."
Speaking of this, Sari's tone was a little low.
"And, Mark's caravan is about to disband..."
After listening to Sali's story, Gu Cheng finally understood the current situation of Mark's caravan.
In the Beast God Continent, caravans are actually of the same nature as mercenaries. The difference is that most of their time is spent on doing business, and they take some order-based tasks with a small amount of time, such as escorting goods, purchasing for employers in a certain place, etc.... Caravans approved by the Chamber of Commerce will divide levels according to business conditions, order completion volume and other factors. The lowest-level caravans are actually a few people gather together, and at most no more than ten people. This organization is very loose and there are no special regulations. As long as you have registered in the Chamber of Commerce, anyone can organize such a team.
Next is the caravan of the level of Mark Caravan, with a minimum of more than ten people. Compared with those squads that are scattered and scattered, the caravan of Level 2 has entered a regular track. They not only have to fill in formal information and report to the Chamber of Commerce, but also receive some assistance from the Chamber of Commerce, but can even have their own strongholds.
Further up to level 3 and level 4 caravans are called large caravans, and the number of people often exceeds 100. In addition, strongholds in major cities have been established, and they can officially occupy a place in the Chamber of Commerce.
If you can upgrade to a level 5 caravan, the scale is basically not much different from the player's guild, and you can become a chamber of commerce independently. Their number is more than thousands. These chambers of commerce are not only strong, have their own strongholds and fortresses, but also receive direct support and sponsorship from the official or chamber of commerce. Some large chambers of commerce have their own territory and cities, and their influence is also quite outstanding.
The class division of these mercenary groups is not only reflected in strength and reputation, but it will even affect the commercial industries they can involve and the evaluation of tasks when taking on tasks. It is impossible for a small caravan to receive orders at the guild level. Even if they want to take them, they will be indirectly rejected by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Even if they finally complete the task, they will not be recognized - of course, ordinary caravans do not have the ability to complete orders at the guild level.
Although caravans enjoy many privileges, they are not without pressure. Caravans above level 2 will be assessed by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance every year, and will judge promotion, maintenance and relegation based on the assessment standards.
The assessment content is generally that the Chamber of Commerce and Alliance will rate the tasks taken by each group based on the risk and completion degree of the tasks taken by them. After one year, if the points completed by the task are insufficient, the Chamber of Commerce and Alliance will forcefully disband those business groups that are not able to reach the passing line or above. Even those independent chambers of commerce will be forced to be demoted to business groups.
Sali's depression is also related to this. Mark has devoted almost all his energy and wealth to the Mark Caravan in the past two years. Originally, the Mark Caravan also developed into a small and medium-sized group with a size of 20 or 30 people. Now, because of this mission, the only main member is Seer. In addition, the points deducted from the failure of the mission, the caravan cannot maintain it at all. Although it is still autumn and there is still a long time before the end of the year, the Mark Caravan has no way to support a business group by relying solely on Mark, Seer, and Kana, so many "newcomers" have begun to apply to withdraw from the group.
When Gu Cheng heard this, he understood the situation of Mark Caravan. It was not difficult for him to help Mark Caravan. With a mission system in hand, he could use the power of the Zero Machine to support Mark Caravan. Not to mention how powerful the Mark Caravan was to be built into, at least there was no problem in spending the rating of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance safely...
But, what are the benefits of doing this?
Gu Cheng's NPC identity is only temporary. As a player in the light source camp, it is not certain that he will have any chance to contact the dark source camp in the future...
Unless...the big business group that can build the Mark caravan into a "neutral camp"...
"Da, da, da..." Gu Cheng tapped the table gently with his fingers and asked calmly: "I can help Mark's caravan overcome the difficulties, but the question is... what benefits can I get?"
Chapter completed!
