Had she gone crazy, or had this man gone crazy?
This was the first time Dale had heard of someone who didn't care about Disaster Weapons! Compared to the commonly used magic weapons and Source Weapons, Disaster Weapons had an absolute advantage. The most important thing was that no one had ever heard of anyone being able to create one.
The only way to obtain such a treasure was to hunt Disaster Weapons. The drop rate of Disaster Weapons was so low that even some high-grade players hadn't been able to obtain a Disaster Weapon to their liking.
Now that the user had died and the Disaster Weapon had returned to the void, their thoughts of killing and robbing them were completely gone.
Apart from relying on luck, the Goddess of Calamity's system was the only stable way to exchange for Disaster Weapons, and it was the first choice of most players.
Unfortunately, the Disaster Weapons exchanged with the Goddess of Calamity were not as powerful as the "wild" ones, but it was better than nothing.
It required an astronomical amount of Human Faction Contribution Points, and everyone who became a player spent most of their time earning Contribution Points.
Therefore, in the eyes of the non-players of the Seven Continents, these high and mighty players had always been their guardians, fearlessly fighting Disaster Weapons all year round. In reality, they were just desperately running around for Contribution Points …
As for why they wanted to become stronger, there was naturally a deeper reason, but it would only be revealed when they became players.
Dale was full of doubts. She already knew about the unusual relationship between Li Xiang and Night's Shadow. At the same time, she also guessed that Night's Shadow had most likely left the Rose Maids to him.
Such a successor shouldn't be unaware of the importance of Disaster Weapons, right?
She stepped on the roaring Gui Wuqi under her high heels. The opponent that Li Xiang couldn't defeat with all his might was like a child in front of a Level 1 player. This made him feel a little depressed.
"I'm a support-type Mage. This spell is called [Support-Type Constitution Increase]. Simply put, it's a spell that can increase one's Constitution by ten times in a short period of time." Dale saw the confusion in Roland's eyes and casually explained, "Auxiliary magic tends to focus on various kinds of enhancement and battle auras. Therefore, in the face of this kind of magician, he looks very weak. Maybe he's a master of close combat with a very strong constitution. Because of the super effectiveness of magic, Constitution and other bodily functions are not so important at the level of players. Of course, if you can reach this level without using magic, that's even better. "
Li Xiang nodded, but his heart was trembling.
A tenfold increase in physique!
This was a comprehensive enhancement, and according to Dale's description, the effects would last for a very long time. It was even more perverse than those ancient potions.
If Li Xiang's strength could be increased by ten times … A Level-3 Magician's fist strength was 5000kg. Ten times that would be 50,000 kg. Even the strongest Level-3 Magician would be smashed to smithereens.
In fact, support-type Magicians weren't the type that leaned towards combat. Offensive Magicians and Strengthening Domain Magicians were!
It was no wonder that the players could crush Magician so easily. They were not even on the same level.
Dale was in a good mood. She had used a secret technique to seal Gui Wuqi in a crystal bottle. As long as she handed it over to the Goddess of Calamity, she would receive a huge amount of contribution points from the human faction. Compared to this, explaining some things about the players to Li Xiang was nothing.
After subduing Gui Wuqi, Dale held the crystal bottle between her fingers and stared coldly at Li Xiang. She asked, "Tell me, our relationship is nothing more than mutual benefits. What do you want in return for doing me such a big favor?"
"What I want, didn't we already make it clear during our secret discussion back then?" Li Xiang chuckled. He knew that even without the death feud between the Wild Hunt brothers, Dale would still be unhappy with him. She clearly saw the relationship between the two of them, and so did he. "Don't worry. I'm not one of those people who'll take a mile after taking an inch. As long as you keep your promise, I'll keep my promise and won't ask for anything else."
"I hope so." Dale didn't like owing people favors, but Li Xiang's sincerity was reflected in her eyes, which puzzled her.
This young man always acted like he was unwilling to be taken advantage of and was aggressive, but after interacting with him, he was completely unfathomable.
He wanted everything, but at the same time, it seemed like he didn't want anything at all.
He was extremely insistent on many things that she didn't care about, but he didn't care about many things that she thought were important.
Dale knew that the agreement he was referring to was the secret discussion they had after she killed Jia Lan.
"By the way, I hope you can help me with one more thing." Li Xiang pointed at the ruined city and sighed. After all, this was where he used to live. "It's not convenient for me to do it. I don't feel at ease leaving it to Bai Dongxue."
"It's a piece of cake." Dale raised her eyebrows. She couldn't see through this man anymore. In the end, he spent so much time and effort just to save a group of unimportant civilians for free?
"I hope that during the next meeting of the handover of the city, you can use the name of the Nidri family to take it down. After such a big disaster, I don't think anyone will be willing to take over this mess. After taking down the city, you don't have to pay for any of the reconstruction materials. I'll have someone send them to you, "Li Xiang continued." Let them live a better life. "
"…" Dale stuffed the crystal bottle into the collar of her evening dress and finally began to look at the young man seriously. "Do you know how much this will cost? Even if they return to a peaceful life in the future, no one will be grateful to you. All the credit will go to me and the Nidri family. "
"I don't do business at a loss." Li Xiang smiled mysteriously.
Dale hesitated for a moment before nodding. Compared to these small things, she had already received enough benefits. "Okay. I'll help you cover for Bai Dongxue as well."
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Li Xiang did not say anything else. After dealing with Gui Wuqi, he had resolved one of his worries.
He gave all the benefits to Dale, and naturally, he was not giving them for free.
He did not need to exchange for disaster weapons, because he could make them himself in the future. What he wanted was not the gratitude and loyalty of a mere city.
What Li Xiang wanted was the entire Nidri family.
.....
The next morning, the city that saw the light of day again was a mess. Bai Dongxue, who had arrived late, led a group of military bigwigs from the surrounding cities to loot the remaining benefits in the name of reinforcements.
He was furious.
Beside him, Bai Yuhan's expression was calm, but she was also shocked.
After hearing Bai Dongxue's angry words, she was sure that both of them had been tricked by this woman who kept her composure.
Just last night, she had led the Nidri family's secret troops to clean up all the mutants in the city, including Gui Wuqi, who was on the verge of breaking through.
These mutants were very valuable. From the descriptions of the survivors, it was not hard to tell that they had mastered some new methods of evolution. Some of them had even evolved some human-like thoughts and consciousness.
These mutants could bring more contribution points to the human faction.
But in just one night, they were all taken over by the Nidri family.
They did not even leave any leftovers for them.
Bai Dongxue knew that he had been too impatient last night. A hotbed was indeed very valuable, but the prerequisite was that it was a complete and flawless hotbed.
When he went to the ruins, he was stopped by some officials from City 0126, which took him a lot of time. By the time he reached the city, there was nothing left.
"Dongxue, Miss Dale said that the Nidri family will temporarily take over the military's management of the city. The Nidri family's garrison will also arrive this afternoon." Bai Yuhan approached him and whispered, "Could there be something that hasn't been discovered?"
A strange look flashed across Bai Dongxue's face, but he quickly calmed down and shook his head. "Impossible. To obtain the right to take over, Wessex, the Five Thrones, and the Kataszhafe Council must have the approval of all three parties. Since they have all given up, there shouldn't be anything left. She has already reported what should have been reported. I'm afraid that even the human faction's contribution points have already been transferred. "
No matter how dissatisfied he was, the matter had already been decided. There was no way to change it. He could only use the broken hotbed in his hands to make up for his losses.
"Sister Dale's methods are good. You must have earned a lot this time." Bai Dongxue moved forward, ignoring the group of Nidri family guards beside her.
The group of Level-3 Magicians felt a terrifying sense of oppression as Bai Dongxue approached them.
Bai Dongxue, who was known as the number one magician of the younger generation, shocked them.
"It's fine." Dale waved her guards away. This young man was also a Level-1 player, but he gave her a strong sense of pressure. Still, it wasn't enough to make her submit. "I did earn a lot. Now that I don't have a child, I have to save some money for my retirement, right?"
"If you want to earn money, why take over this abandoned city?" Bai Dongxue stood on the platform and looked down at the busy soldiers of the military. They all looked at him with respect and admiration. Bai Dongxue responded with a bright smile, but the words that came out of his mouth were cold and merciless. "The cost of rebuilding this city is not low. Besides, the Nidri family isn't a super family from the Subcontinent. They wouldn't move their assets to the Subcontinent, would they?"
"This is just a city I took over in my name. Master Bai, you are overthinking. They have given me a lot of benefits. It is only right that I contribute. "Dale smiled. Even she didn't believe this reason, so Bai Dongxue wouldn't believe it either.
But so what? If you want an explanation, I will give it to you. If you don't believe me, then there is nothing I can do.
Bai Dongxue smiled and didn't pursue the matter further. "Thank you, Sister Dale. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. Now that this is done, we will be on our way."
Dale ignored the sarcasm in Bai Dongxue's words and continued to direct the reconstruction work.
Many people were puzzled by her action. Even the insiders of her family were against it. However, the others couldn't figure out what other benefits she could gain from the city, so they didn't try to stop her.
Her father was the head of the family and he loved his youngest daughter the most. Of course, she would do as she pleased.
No one knew that this was a small agreement between Dale and Li Xiang.
Not only did the others not understand, but even Dale herself did not understand the true meaning behind Li Xiang's decision to waste a favor by asking her to do this.
"The number one magician of the younger generation …" Dale sneered as she watched Bai Dongxue leave.
The Nidri family was from an African continent. In the end, it wasn't the military of the Subcontinent that they had been relying on for a long time, but a super family from an African continent. This was something that the people of Hou City didn't expect.
Even the lowest slaves could tell from the situation that they had been abandoned by their own people.
No one was willing to take over a city that had been invaded by aliens. The slaves would be branded with a disgusting mark for the rest of their lives.
If it weren't for the Nidri family, they would have been forced to leave the city where they had lived for many years. To prevent diseases from spreading, their families would have been torn apart.
Therefore, no matter how much they disliked the Africans, they gradually became grateful to the Nidri family.
That was human nature.
Dale had mixed feelings. The family had tried many times to enter the huge market of the Subcontinent, but they had failed every time. The Subcontinent and the Continent were enemies, but they didn't like the other continents. It was too difficult to break through the barriers and expand their businesses everywhere.
She didn't expect that the problem that had troubled the family for half a century would be slowly disappearing.
"Pass down my order. After the Nidri family takes over the Hou City, they will be responsible for all the daily construction costs. The welfare of the city will be based on the Nidri family's affiliated cities. Every family of the survivors of the disaster will receive a one-year pension based on the number of people they have. Also, the family will take in outstanding third-year high school students and give them new education opportunities. They will represent the Nidri family in the recruitment exam.
Dale called for a manager to come over and inform him of the new regulations.
"Yes … But, Miss Dale, the cost will exceed the budget by a lot. I have to consult the family's finance department." The manager wiped the sweat off his forehead. This was going to be a huge expense. If it had been any other young master or young lady, he would have refused. However, this was the family leader's favorite daughter. He didn't dare to disobey her.
There were many rumors in the family that even if Dale married outside of the Nidri family, she would still have a good chance of inheriting the family's wealth.
"No need. This money will come from my personal treasury. My team will make up for it. Just do as I say," Dale said coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes." The manager nodded and bowed, immediately making the arrangements.
In the afternoon, Dale personally oversaw the new policy building and interviewed the outstanding third-year high school students one by one.
Many students were excited when they heard that the interviewer was a level 1 player. They were full of hatred. With such a platform, they were all eager to be picked by Dale.
After a few rounds of interviews, Dale's expression became worse and worse.
She was excited because Li Xiang came from this place. His future path was very broad, and he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with her sooner or later. If she could find another Li Xiang, it would be perfect.
Even if there wasn't one at that level, she could accept it if he was a little worse.
However, things didn't go as she wished. This was a small city with limited resources. So far, the best student was barely qualified to become a magician.
"Miss Dale, why don't you leave this to me?" another interviewer asked in a fawning manner.
Dale hesitated, looked at the long list, and said, "I'll leave after looking at the next one."
"Yes." The interviewer didn't say anything else and told the people outside to speed up.
He was also getting a little impatient. He couldn't understand why Dale was suddenly interested in a student from a small city.
If she wanted to keep a gigolo, she should have chosen the most outstanding European.
"Next, Yu Zhitong," the interviewer shouted after looking at the information.
