The news of the tournament hadn't been officially announced, but Tang Yu had deliberately spread rumors in secret.
Including Lindong's side. Under Gray Blade's secret manipulation, more and more hunters' inadvertently 'learned the precious news in advance.
Sometimes, gossip can arouse the curiosity of others, step by step, until they completely fall into the trap.
"Not to mention this time, I've put all my money into this tournament. Using C-rank rune equipment and many high-value rewards as bait. Most hunters who have a certain confidence in their strength will participate."
"Even if I can't compete for the championship, the other rewards are enough to make the hunters jealous."
"At that time, based on the tournament's performance, supplemented by other assessments, the patrol team will be able to recruit enough good hunters."
The time was almost ripe. He would soon officially announce the tournament's time, rewards, and preliminary method. The tournament ring was prepared for the preliminary round. As for the semi-finals, Tang Yu didn't intend to announce it so early.
The format of the semi-finals would also exceed the hunters' imagination. Not only would it make the tournament more exciting, but it would also show the power of some advanced rune equipment through the semi-finals.
This was killing three birds with one stone.
Tang Yu wasn't worried that the hunters would refuse the patrol's recruitment invitation. There were hunters who yearned for freedom. However, the patrol's restraint on the members wasn't very strong. Aside from training patrols, training patrols, and training patrols, the rest of the time was still very free.
The generous treatment was enough to crush the straw of hesitation in many people's hearts.
"The number of new members recruited by the patrol team this time will be far higher than the previous two times. Well, with the tournament attracting many hunters, even if the recruitment is more, the average quality will be higher than the previous two times."
Recently, with the sharp increase of foreign hunters, the pressure on the patrol members had also increased. They hadn't gone out on a mission for a long time. Fortunately, the territory now had sufficient spirit power. Even if they had to stay in the shelter to maintain law and order, the patrol members' strength had not fallen behind.
However, it was too difficult to maintain the security of thousands of people with only thirty or so patrol members.
Most of the time, it was the puppets who maintained law and order, controlling or killing the troublemakers. However … puppets had many flaws, such as collecting fines and acting as referees. These were things the puppets couldn't do.
There was no time to delay in expanding the size of the patrol team.
"The expanded patrol team shouldn't be called that anymore." Tang Yu switched the crystal ball's image, capturing the scene of the territory in his eyes. "Perhaps, we need to divide the hunters' functions in detail, such as internal, external, and intelligence."
"Yes, and the welfare of the patrol team should also be adjusted to a certain extent."
The welfare of the patrol team was very high, extremely high. Many adventurers risked their lives to earn points to exchange for equipment and support potions, while the patrol members only needed to pay a small price to obtain them.
Whether it was fair or not, it didn't matter to Tang Yu. After all, the patrol members were relatively his own people. If the resources were spent on diligent and striving people, he felt it was worth it. But if it was spent on some lazy members, Great Lord Tang wasn't happy.
Under Roger's drill, there were no lazy people in the patrol team. But some members were relatively lack of enthusiasm. Tang Yu had heard Roger mention it before.
"In the future, the welfare of the patrol team will be based on both individual contribution and progress. As for the specifics … well, let Roger come up with a standard."
Tang Yu decisively threw away the burden. This was his trust in his subordinates. After all, he was a Lord.
"Now …"
He rubbed his hands, "It's time to get down to business."
Half an hour later.
After burning incense and bathing, Tang Yu, wearing a pure white Krypton crystal robe, came to the door of the tavern with a solemn expression.
He had raised his territory to Level 5, and the scale of the castle complex had expanded once again, encompassing several of the core buildings. Apart from that, the upper limit of the buildings had been raised, the territory had expanded once again, and he had gained the authority to construct two more sub-territories. His compatibility with the territory had increased from 20% to 24% … and so on and so forth.
Tang Yu walked into the tavern. The appearance of the upgraded tavern hadn't changed much. But the five profession inheritance statues on the second floor looked more lifelike, and three advanced profession inheritance were added.
"That's not important. What's important is that the tavern contract quota has increased once again."
There were 18 contract quotas for the level 4 tavern. He originally kept the last three quotas for when he was lucky enough to get a summoning-related item from the market.
He did get some.
However … the B-rank adventurer summoning scroll (guaranteed to summon a B-rank adventurer), the warrior summoning scroll (guaranteed to summon a warrior profession adventurer next time after using it), and so on. Tang Yu only wanted to say, these things were useless!
It was better for him to burn incense, take a bath, and pay his respects to all the big shots.
"After the tavern upgrade this time, there are nine more quotas. Now there are a total of twelve vacant contract quotas." Tang Yu pondered for a moment, "It's better to round it up and leave two quotas as a spare. This time, I'll summon ten adventurers in one go. Ten consecutive draws should be more powerful."
It should be …
Tang Yu wasn't sure. He was becoming less and less confident in his bloodline.
What's more, the tavern didn't have a ten consecutive draw mechanism.
Before summoning, Tang Yu first tried to fuse the summoning function, but the result was the same. He still couldn't break through the B-rank limit.
From the level 3 tavern, the highest probability of summoning a B-rank adventurer was B-rank adventurer. The same was true for the level 5 tavern. If he had to say, the number of fusion had decreased. Every time he summoned a B-rank adventurer, the cost of spirit stones was less than before.
This allowed Lord Tang to feel a little more comforted.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Yu closed his eyes and slowly opened them again.
A huge and mysterious summoning diagram was quickly sketched in front of him.
One, two … eight, nine.
His summoning speed wasn't very fast. Every time he summoned an adventurer, he would first look at the adventurer's profile. Tang Yu didn't want to summon a heinous follower. Even if there was no problem with loyalty, their personality and behavior would make them incompatible with others. It might even affect the stability of the rear.
After reading the profile, Tang Yu already had a certain understanding of the adventurer's life.
After that, he would choose to sign a contract with the adventurer and summon him. He would have a simple conversation and introduce the current situation of the territory to the follower. Then, he would have Elaine and Roger lead the new follower to familiarize himself with the territory.
When the ninth follower walked out of the tavern and looked out through the tavern window, it was already starry outside.
Tang Yu recalled the nine followers he summoned, five men and four women. Well, not all of them were pure-blooded humans. It's just that he didn't have a deep understanding of these new followers because he was in a hurry to summon.
BABBABBAB。
These were the qualifications of the nine new followers. Generally speaking, they had met Tang Yu's expectations. Since the tavern was upgraded to level 5, although the martial arts tavern still couldn't break through the limit and directly summon a transcendent adventurer, the strength of this new group of followers was generally good.
They were all above the Eighth Awakening Stage. The strongest one reached the Eleventh Awakening Stage, which was comparable to Elaine.
"Well, that's not right. The last time I saw Elaine, I heard she had a double breakthrough. Now she's already at the Twelfth Awakening Stage. Who's the one who's cheating?!"
Even after breaking through the Sixth Awakening Stage and crazily refining and absorbing spirit power, he only reached the Eighth Awakening Stage. Of course, while improving his life level, Tang Yu also insisted on body tempering, polishing spirit, condensing source power, and so on. To a certain extent, this slowed down the progress of refining spirit power. However, every time Elaine advanced, she must have fully tapped her potential before advancing again.
"It's a pity that the current nine followers haven't been able to summon the most promising Master Pharmacist. The cost of giving up the contract and summoning again is too high."
Tang Yu hesitated. The probability of summoning a Master Pharmacist follower was too low. If he hadn't been lucky enough to summon Kevin, he didn't even know if he could summon this kind of summoning option.
Now there's only one chance left.
The last of the ten consecutive draws.
Tang Yu took a deep breath and put his fingers together in front of his chest.
At this moment, he wasn't fighting alone!
Behind him stood his followers, countless survivors, and those lucky predecessors in history ….
"My turn, beat it to death!"
Tang Yu waved his hand violently.
