Ping Liang Central Office Building.
Top floor.
Director Ping Liang sat in a rocking chair, overlooking most of the shelter through the floor-to-ceiling window. It seemed that everything was in his pocket.
But he was no longer in high spirits.
His right hand was bandaged, and the scar on his face stretched from his forehead to his right cheek. It hadn't disappeared yet. He leaned back on the rocking chair, soft like a giant baby, unable to stand up.
Opposite him stood the Intelligence Minister who came to report.
Director Ping Liang coughed and slightly turned his body from a slumped sitting to a half-leaning position on the desk.
During the encirclement and suppression of the cult, Director Ping Liang was seriously injured. He was attacked by special energy. Even the healing ability couldn't cure it. He could only rely on his strong physique to slowly recover.
"Nothing unexpected has happened to the Adventurer's Guild. Just as we expected, although many Awakened have registered as adventurers in the past few days, under our hints, none of the factions have come to the Adventurer's Guild to commission them.
The lack of mission sources made it impossible to form a complete chain. Those hunters who registered were gradually disappointed. In the past two days, the number of hunters entering and leaving the Guild has decreased significantly.
Although the Extreme Martial Arts School's business is good, it's only a relatively popular martial arts school. It's far from dominating the competition. "
"Very good. Keep watching."
Director Ping Liang nodded.
The Tree Shade was powerful. He could only swallow the losses he suffered in the past. At this time, he finally felt a little happy.
"Hehe, the people in charge of the Tree Shade are still too naive. Having strength doesn't mean having everything. Connections, resources, management, rules … Although we can't stop the Adventurer's Guild from settling in Pingliang, we just need to use a little trick to stop them from developing. We can make their investment go down the drain and cause serious losses."
The price of the land was completely estimated according to the market price.
The Adventurer's Guild and the Extreme Martial Arts School were two magnificent buildings that were built quickly. The cost was obviously not low.
There was also the cost of transporting a large number of supplies …
Director Ping Liang was looking forward to seeing the Tree Shade's ruler's expression.
He made a lot of money from selling the land.
"He's still too young. Pingliang is our territory. What kind of mission can the Tree Shade have? Unless they release some missions that have nothing to do with them and can't get any benefits. But this way, every time a mission is completed, the Tree Shade will lose a reward. The cost of attracting hunters in this way is too high …" "Still too young.
Also, it's meaningless. As long as we don't issue missions to the Adventurer's Guild, it will never be possible to form a positive ecological chain. "
It was obviously impossible for the government of Pingliang to issue commissions to their competitors. Some of the larger forces in the sanctuary, under the hints and warnings of the intelligence department, would not do business with the Adventurer's Guild.
It's not easy for the Tree Shade to extend its tentacles here. It's impossible to free up manpower to understand the surrounding area, so it's difficult to generate tasks with real needs.
This was a sure win!
When Superintendent Ping Liang thought of this, his mood instantly became better, and his injuries faintly healed.
However, Director Ping Liang was happy for less than two seconds when there was a hurried knock on the door.
The person who walked in was the Deputy Minister of the Intelligence Department.
"Director, Minister, something bad has happened!"
"The transfer station on the west side of our shelter was destroyed by the remnants of the cult. No one survived in the entire transfer station!"
Ping Liang Shelter's strength was limited, and they had only built two transfer stations in total.
The existence of these two transfer stations had a great impact on the area under Ping Liang's control, the transportation of materials to neighboring shelters, and even the missions issued by the "Mission Center."
Suddenly one was destroyed. The severity of the matter was no less than a Level 5 demonic wave attack.
"The strongest person stationed at the transfer station, I remember he was a member of the top combat team. Even he couldn't escape?"
The Deputy Minister shook his head, "When the scene was investigated, there happened to be a backtracking ability user. He had seen the backtracking scene. It was a group of Ghost Hand Clan that attacked the transfer station. The few leaders were stronger than … the top combat team."
It meant that even if Director Ping Liang took action, he might not win.
What's more, Director Ping Liang's disability debuff hadn't expired yet.
Due to the previous heavy losses, the shelter's higher-ups agreed that now was the time to rest and lick their wounds. As for annihilating the remnants, whoever wanted to do it could do it.
However, the remnants of the evil cult made the first move!
Previously, when the transport group that traded with Tongyang Shelter was annihilated in the wild, they suspected that it was the culprit's doing. Now, they actually attacked the transfer station.
With a bang, Director Ping Liang's bandaged fist smashed on the table. The hard and thick table shattered with a snap, and the ground also began to crack like a spider web.
Director Ping Liang: "…"
He coughed dryly, "We can't let the remnants of the evil cult continue to run rampant. We don't have to care about other places, but the evil cult remnants in our Ping Liang area must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, God knows what they will do!"
The Intelligence Minister nodded, but his brows were tightly knitted. "According to the current information, there are at least five powerhouses that are stronger than our top combat team … This matter is not easy to deal with."
In the entire Ping Liang area, there were originally only a handful of top combat teams, and now they could be counted on one hand. Dealing with the powerful remnants was already a little difficult.
Director Ping Liang was obviously aware of this. He frowned and pondered.
At this time, the Deputy Minister of the Intelligence Department who had just left returned.
Seeing the Minister and Director's eyes falling on his face, the Deputy Minister was a little embarrassed.
Who asked him to bring only bad news?
Immediately, the Deputy Minister told them about the appearance of the Tree Shade's airship, ignoring their anti-aircraft artillery attacks, and directly landing in the open space behind the Adventurer's Guild.
"Not only that, the Adventurer's Guild has a designated client, which contains the adventurer's combat power rating. I sent someone to check and saw several hunters who are stronger than the top combat power."
"Tenth Stage? Or Eleventh Stage? "
"No, only Ninth Stage. Some of them are not even at the peak. But in their adventurer identity information, there is a combat power increase. It is said that … it is said that they can fight a level three demonic beast." The Deputy Minister swallowed his saliva, "There is also video information. I checked, there are those adventurers' battle videos. It doesn't seem fake."
"Moreover, with the appearance of these adventurers, the Adventurer's Guild released a lot of new missions in one breath. Just now, there were a lot of hunters registering in the guild hall and asking about the situation."
Director Ping Liang wanted to say 'impossible', but he didn't say it.
His mood was in a mess, but suddenly his eyes lit up, "Wait, since those adventurers are strong, can we … use these people's hands to annihilate the remnants of the cult?"
"But wouldn't this give the Adventurer's Guild a chance to develop?" The Intelligence Minister frowned.
"No." Director Ping Liang said, "Those people are just adventurers, not subordinates who obey the Tree Shade's orders. We can contact them in private. With our large shelter's financial resources, we can increase the mission reward by 30% to 50%. How can a few adventurers not be tempted?"
"Tree Shade made a bad move this time."
Director Ping Liang laughed loudly.
At his command, the Intelligence Minister immediately set out to contact those adventurers.
