Chapter 1236 Lord's Arrangement and Comprehensive Upgrade
The first thing that caught Lei Xiao’s eyes was a rich and colorful scene.
All I saw was a dazzling array of colorful weapons and armor neatly placed on the equipment racks, filling the entire warehouse, which looked dazzling.
Apart from Lei Xiao's own inventory, even in the most well-equipped Pars Empire, Lei Xiao had never seen such an astonishing sight.
And this kind of scene, after being upgraded, will undoubtedly expand one's equipment reserves to a whole new level!
"As expected of a mercenary guild that is one of the three major neutral organizations, the number of these equipments alone is enough to surpass that of any royal family in any country."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but blurt out.
In addition, unlike the uniform equipment of each country, even if it is a third-level or higher exotic equipment, the equipment of the mercenaries is the same as what he saw for the first time in Kongqing Town, with various strange combinations such as longbows with heavy armor, broadswords with cloth armor, etc., which are dazzling to look at.
"Haha, Your Highness, you are too kind. The Mercenary Guild has a large team of blacksmiths, and they can also collect various forging materials when they go on missions. After years, it is not surprising that they have such a large scale."
Gray Elder obviously noticed Lei Xiao's emphasis, and smiled as he introduced: "As for the various strange combinations, they are also a major feature of the Mercenary Guild."
"That's right, Your Highness. This is a symbol of the strong professional ability of the mercenaries."
Diana took over the conversation and added to Lei Xiao: "After all, mercenaries often carry out missions in small teams of several people. When the number of people is limited, a mercenary often takes on multiple roles to maximize the team's strength. This kind of situation is inevitable."
"That's true. So in areas that the army can't reach, the role of mercenaries who are good at small-scale combat is self-evident."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Let's go to the next warehouse and have a look."
Then, Lei Xiao visited two warehouses of similar size before he finished checking all the equipment warehouses.
Needless to say, Lei Xiao had no interest in the third and fourth stage equipment at all. There were as many as ten sets of fifth stage equipment, which almost exceeded the total of the royal families of the seven kingdoms.
Regarding this kind of national-level equipment, Lei Xiao thought about it again and again, and finally decided to expand the quantity instead of upgrading it to the sixth level.
After all, the human world's national defense equipment is still limited at present, and the role played by batch equipment is undoubtedly greater in the overall situation.
During this process, Lei Xiao learned more through Hui Lao's introduction.
At present, there are more than two million active mercenaries registered in mercenary guilds around the world.
Among them, part-time mercenaries and professional mercenaries each account for half.
As the name suggests, part-time mercenaries are those who have passed the basic test of the mercenary guild and will occasionally go to local mercenary guilds to accept missions, such as free farmers during the slack season, new citizens in the city, and even some impoverished nobles and noble children who are not favored by their families.
The combat effectiveness of these mercenaries varies. Although the Mercenary Guild has jurisdiction over them, it generally does not focus on these people.
The main fighting force of the mercenary guild is professional mercenaries.
The huge professional mercenary team is divided into two parts, namely ranger mercenaries and group mercenaries.
The so-called ranger mercenaries refer to lone mercenaries who operate as individuals or small teams and have not joined a mercenary group.
As for group mercenaries, it goes without saying that they refer to professional mercenaries who have passed the assessment of the corresponding mercenary group and then joined the mercenary group.
As for why there are two completely different types of professional mercenaries, it is because the commission for ranger mercenaries after accepting missions will be higher, but they often need to form temporary teams. Due to the limited degree of cooperation, the danger is naturally higher, and it is difficult for them to have any logistical support.
People like Mia and Bonnie belong to this category.
Group mercenaries are completely different. With the support of a mercenary group, these mercenaries have a fixed team and complete logistical supplies. Not only is their own safety factor improved, but they can also take on bigger tasks.
But correspondingly, the commissions received by mercenary groups for collective deployment are often not as generous as those received by ranger mercenaries.
People like Randall of the Dragon Tooth Mercenaries belong to this category.
Both mercenaries and mercenary groups are divided into five levels from low to high: black iron, bronze, gold, mithril, and diamond. The top diamonds are further divided into gray diamonds and black diamonds.
For example, Randall and the Dragon Tooth Mercenaries are both at the Mithril level, while Diana is at the Black Diamond level.
In addition, the Mercenary Guild also has several top-level directly affiliated mercenary groups and special departments such as the law enforcement team responsible for supervising mercenaries in various places, in order to maintain the authority of the guild and ensure the normal operation of the entire guild.
As for the specific number of strong men, there are ten strong men above level five including Gray Old Man and Diana, nearly a hundred level four strong men, nearly a thousand level three strong men, and more than 100,000 level two elite mercenaries.
After all, the second level is the easiest to break through, and with the help of potions that permanently increase strength, such as Qi Condensation Pills, it is relatively easy to achieve.
However, third-level potions that permanently increase strength are not only expensive, but also extremely rare in the human world. Most people can only break through through personal talent, so it is not surprising that such a strength gap occurs.
"Of course, this is a normal situation. With my talent, it is enough to raise the overall strength of the human world to a whole new level."
As Lei Xiao thought so, he walked into a potion warehouse under the guidance of Gray Old.
Lei Xiao noticed it as he sniffed the strange fragrance coming towards him.
Just like the equipment warehouse before, there were all kinds of potions stored here. The potions wrapped in brocade boxes were neatly placed on large and small cabinets, and there was almost no end in sight.
There are also three such potion warehouses. After carefully checking them one by one, Lei Xiao noticed further.
Although the Mercenary Guild's reserves of magic potions are extremely large, their composition is no different from that of an ordinary royal family. More than 99% of them are magic potions of level 4 or below, and there are only a dozen ordinary level 5 magic potions for healing and energy replenishment.
There is no need to mention other potions, but the ones that Lei Xiao cares about most are the potions that permanently increase strength. There are five fourth-level potions and more than thirty third-level potions, which can be used for promotion.
In addition, the same number of potions cannot be used for promotion and can only be used to upgrade stars of the same level.
"As for those who can be promoted, it goes without saying that there are more than thirty third-level pills. If all of them are transformed in quantity, combined with auxiliary promotion potions, it will be enough to allow the human world to stably have more than 3,000 third-level strongmen. This is much more useful than thirty fourth-level strongmen."
Lei Xiao looked at the exquisite brocade box in front of him with a strong fragrance and nodded thoughtfully.
"As for the fifth- and fourth-level potions, they can provide me with five fifth-level warriors or more than five hundred fourth-level warriors. Judging from the combat power alone, five hundred fourth-level warriors are obviously more suitable. So let's just use all the quantity changes."
"As for those who can't be promoted but can only be upgraded, the third level is also a quantitative change, and the fourth level is a qualitative change. Five stars are more than enough for me to upgrade to a double fifth level three stars."
Having made up his mind, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
It is worthy of being the treasure house of the Mercenary Guild, one of the three major neutral organizations. Putting aside other things, just talking about the fourth-level magic potion that permanently increases strength, even the royal families of several other countries that have recently upgraded do not have it in stock.
After all, the Pars Empire and the Grimm Kingdom, which once had a small amount of inventory, had long been emptied by the Chosen Son of the Evil God, so that even the potion storehouse of the Temple of Light had almost become an empty shell.
"But these are not the main points. I still have an Alchemist Guild that can continuously produce magic potions that I have not yet visited. Under my overall planning, as long as the potential of the Alchemist Guild is fully stimulated, there will be no need to worry about finding rare treasures. These magic potions will naturally be produced continuously. Why would I care about those little things?"
Lei Xiao calmed his mind and continued to go to the three warehouses where the magic scrolls were stored one by one under the guidance of Hui Lao and others.
The situation of magic scrolls was similar to that in the previous warehouses. Lei Xiao found a total of 20 fifth-level attack spell scrolls, 10 fifth-level healing and defense scrolls, and a large number of scrolls below the fourth level.
After the previous battle, the fifth-level magic scrolls in Lei Xiao's hands had been lost. Although he received a lot of supplements from several royal treasuries, the stock did not increase significantly.
But now, the magic scroll in Lei Xiao's hand has truly been elevated to a whole new level.
"Let's upgrade all the magic scrolls above level 5 to level 6. This is the life-saving trump card at the critical moment. As for the level 4 scrolls, some of them will be upgraded to level 5 to replenish the level 5 inventory. The rest will naturally be quantitative changes."
Lei Xiao thought so and continued to check other warehouses under the guidance of Gray Old.
Following the sound of footsteps, Lei Xiao checked the magic arrow warehouse, skill scroll warehouse, equipment blueprint warehouse, potion formula warehouse and other warehouses in turn.
Among them, the skill scrolls are basically regular skills below the third level, and none of them match Lei Xiao's abilities. There is also nothing noteworthy in the potion formula warehouse. After all, this is not the area that the mercenary guild excels in.
The only thing that made Lei Xiao's eyes light up was the equipment blueprint warehouse.
The weapon and armor blueprints among them are not only huge in number, but also rich in variety and extremely comprehensive, far exceeding the total of the seven royal families.
"That's no wonder. After all, in addition to the in-depth research on ancient cultures such as ruins, the Mercenary Guild also has another feature: forging equipment."
"Before this, the reason why I didn't forge a large amount of equipment was, firstly, the number of equipment blueprints was limited, secondly, the number of elite blacksmiths was limited, and thirdly, forging obviously didn't come as fast as spoils of war."
"Now, I not only have Xiao Er and Fang Hai, the grandparents and grandchildren of the Qianduan family, under my command, but I have also integrated the resources of the entire human world. If we want to make further progress, it is urgent to start a large-scale forging project."
"This, combined with the Mercenary Guild's ready-made forging system and the upgrade of a large number of equipment blueprints, the integration of other forgers from the seven human nations, and the use of potions to improve the strength of forgers, is enough to maximize the human race's forging strength in a short period of time. This just fits in with my new plan not long ago."
Lei Xiao walked out of the last warehouse and then described what he was thinking to Hui Lao and others.
"Integrate the forging strength of the human world?"
After hearing what Lei Xiao said, Hui Lao and the others couldn't help but feel refreshed.
This can indeed bring the forging capabilities of the human world to an unprecedented level!
Of course, this is a grand deployment that only Lei Xiao can accomplish. Before this, they didn't even dare to think about it.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. We will do our best to assist Your Highness!"
While feeling excited, Hui Lao and the others said in unison.
"Very good, then let's set up the forging base in Fanyin City, the eastern region of Lengyan, which is my initial sphere of influence. This place is not only located in the center of the human world, but also close to the Lord's R&D base and Gelin City, which is rich in ore."
Lei Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Also, I am seeking to combine Lord technology with traditional forging to further increase the efficiency and success rate of forging. From any point of view, this is the most suitable position."
Hui Lao and the others naturally had no objection to Lei Xiao's decision. Lei Xiao also arranged for Jiang Xi to connect to the teleportation network of the mercenary guild's various cities.
After arranging everything, Lei Xiao's next thing to do is naturally to comprehensively upgrade all the warehouses.
After instructing Gray Old Man and his subordinates to wait for a while at the door, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao, who walked at full speed, to upgrade all the warehouses according to the predetermined plan.
In addition to the warehouses filled with the third-level and above equipment needed for the mercenary guild's comprehensive equipment replacement, the inventory in all warehouses was doubled.
As for the rest, they were all naturally put into the storage bracelet.
"Old Chairman, as for those second-level equipment, I will have Ice Stone City deliver them later. You can just arrange the specific distribution and storage locations."
After walking out of the last warehouse, Lei Xiao clapped his hands lightly.
During the process of Lei Xiao's upgrade, Hui Lao and others had already noticed the amazing changes in the warehouse after the upgrade. They were extremely happy and nodded to Lei Xiao quickly.
In just a short period of time, this young man from another world doubled the wealth accumulated by the mercenary guild over three thousand years, and also provided a massive amount of level three and above equipment. Apart from being a miracle, the top leaders of these mercenary guilds simply couldn't think of a second word to describe it!
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning."
Noticing the excited looks from everyone, Lei Xiao looked calm and just smiled faintly.
It was not difficult to see from the fiery gazes of Hui Lao and others that their admiration for himself had obviously reached the extreme.
"Then the next stop is the Alchemist Guild. This will be my final step in integrating the resources of the human world."
Lei Xiao's eyes were bright and his face was full of anticipation.
