Chapter 92: Miss Gu, Strong as a Dragon
"Of course, it will be given to whoever wants it, and then the others will be compensated according to the market price of this thing."
"If there are more than two people who want it, then they bid on it and the highest bidder wins. It's that simple."
"Then the market price of this thing..."
Li Qing was moved.
Let’s put it this way, destiny points are destiny, which refers to the destiny of human civilization to become the lord of war. In other words, after any hero obtains a destiny point, he can sacrifice to the Tree of Eternity and then choose to awaken the divine realm the next day.
Note that it can be any hero, not necessarily the hero destined for humanity.
For example, if Li Qing has some destiny points and is willing to spend them, he can transform Long Shou into a war lord with a divine domain.
Although it's impossible for him to do that, that's the theory.
In the sacrifice list of the Eternal Tree, it takes a little divine grace to awaken a destined hero to the divine realm and become a war lord.
There is no standard market price for this thing because there is absolutely no demand for it.
But a little bit of divine grace has a price. There is an agreed-upon standard value in the market, which is equivalent to the price of 10 billion.
As long as you want to sell.
If it were replaced with gnolls, one thousand dollars for a living gnoll, you could get 10 million gnolls.
If it were exchanged for a hundred-dollar dog-headed man corpse, it could be worth 100 million.
Then Li Qing can use these 100 million gnolls to extract... 50,000 standard dragon bloodlines.
Of course, a group of people would not get that much, probably a few billion at most, but it is still outrageous.
If Zhao Dingzhen's team can really kill a reserve Scourge Lord and gain some destiny points during the Scourge invasion a few months later, they will really make a fortune.
After all, 10 billion is just a number to measure a concept. When it comes to distributing the benefits, other good things must be used as substitutes. Who would be so stupid as to only distribute the money?
There are many good things that cannot be bought with money.
The leader of Zhao Dingzhen's team seems to be a super rich and beautiful woman who can afford it.
If it were any other team, the richest leader would be the descendant of a senior war lord in the Blackrock Realm. A bit of divine favor from him would probably be equivalent to nearly half of his entire family's assets.
It is impossible for people to give out half of their property to pay for this little grace from God.
Maybe you can sell it for a few cents, but it's just a little bit of God's grace. Using this thing to open up the God's realm the day after tomorrow is just one of the uses. There are many other uses for taking off.
For a war lord apprentice, if he can get a little divine grace at this stage, he can take off immediately. Who would be willing to sell it?
Then the problem comes, it is difficult to distribute.
Perhaps the team leader's family will share some benefits, but it is definitely not as good as the true value of God's grace.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Li Qing, and he doesn't need to worry about it. What he is considering is whether to join Zhao Dingzhen's team or go it alone.
Although the specific strength of the prospective Scourge Lord is still unclear, seeing that even apprentices as proud as Hodge under the names of five-star mentors have begun to stick together, he must be very powerful.
Although the defense of his own divine domain is strong, he cannot say that he can withstand it.
Even if we really find a natural defense with only one gap, it is hard to say.
The key is that there is only defensive power, not offensive power.
Although the troops he has are not bad, they are still far inferior to those of the Lord of the Scourge.
so……
In fact, there was no other choice. After listening to Zhao Dingzhen's inside story, Li Qing was already considering how to start the conversation.
At this time, Zhao Dingzhen saw that it was getting late, so he stretched and stood up, and said to Li Qing:
"Since you don't want to come with me, forget it. Just be careful. I'm leaving first."
"Why……"
Li Qing also stood up, rubbed his hands awkwardly, and chuckled.
Zhao Dingzhen was stunned for a moment, pointed at him, and smiled knowingly, but deliberately said seriously:
"Brother, are you worried about me? Don't worry, I will be careful. You don't have to send me off. Go back."
"Depend on!"
Having been discovered, Li Qing stopped pretending and said directly:
"Add me as one, and let's go and try. If I can really succeed in taking one down, I can make hundreds of millions or even billions."
"I should have thought of this a long time ago. What kind of relationship do we have? Would I lie to you?"
"Wait, I'll contact them."
As he turned his head, the space in front of him distorted slightly.
Although he couldn't see it, Li Qing knew that he was using the power of Blackrock Tower to communicate with his companions.
After a while, Zhao Dingzhen turned around and said to him:
"Wait a minute, they are coming over, but you have to be prepared. Adding one more person means one more person to share the money, and not everyone will agree. They will test your strength in a moment."
"Of course, you can follow no matter what, but the results of the test will determine your status."
"Only if you pass the test can you act with us as a teammate. If you succeed, you can get the biggest share. If you fail, you can only act with us as my little brother. Even if you succeed, your share will be deducted from mine, so naturally you won't get much."
"But you can rest assured that you will be able to pass it with your current strength."
After waiting for nearly two hours, I heard the men on the arrow tower report that a troop was approaching this side.
Li Qing and Zhao Dingzhen came to the city wall and looked into the distance. They saw an army approaching on the road outside the city leading to the river.
The army wasn’t very large in number and it was estimated that the main force was outside and they only brought guards with them.
But the troops were extremely well-equipped, and those in the front row looked to be elite Imperial heavy infantry.
Soon the team approached and stopped about two hundred meters away from the city wall. At this time, Li Qing had already seen several chariots surrounding the troops.
The chariot is very large, with an outer layer of steel panels, which provides extremely strong defense. Each chariot is pulled by two oxen. Its speed is not very fast, but it can definitely keep up with normal marches.
When the team stopped, Zhao Dingzhen patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said:
"Let's go down and greet the boss."
Li Qing glanced at the female soldiers guarding the chariot in the middle. As expected, the young lady was sitting there.
With a dull sound, the city gate opened wide. The two men went out of the city and saw seven men gathered in front of the team. The three in front and the four in the back were looking at his castle curiously.
When they came out, the seven people's eyes immediately fell on Li Qing.
Scrutiny, curiosity, resistance, envy, jealousy, and so on.
Zhao Dingzhen waved to them and whispered to him:
"Someone is contacting the boss about something. You'll see it later. Don't worry . She has already agreed to this matter and it won't change."
Then he patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said to them:
"This is my brother, Li Qing. He is now the chief under Instructor Nie Yang. You can see his strength. The scale of his divine domain, his defense system, the size of his troops, and his own strength are all very good."
The four behind did not speak. The first three looked at Li Qing and the Divine Realm behind him with scrutiny. The handsome man in the middle, wearing a gorgeous windbreaker, spoke:
"It looks good, but we still have to test it out. After all, we only accept elites, not rubbish!"
Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to respond, but Zhao Dingzhen beside him said loudly:
"Lan Guilong, please be polite. He is my brother!"
The handsome man raised his eyebrows, but did not refute, just said:
"This is Miss Gu's rule. If you want to join us as a formal team member, you must obtain our approval."
Maybe what Zhao Dingzhen said was useful, because his tone became much more formal and no longer had the personal emotions as before.
"You are only joining us temporarily, and this training is limited to this time, so I won't talk about your potential and the size of your divine domain. It all depends on the strength of your subordinates, the army and the heroes under your command, as well as your personal strength."
"You can tell how strong the army is if you take them out for a walk. You can only know the strength of your men after they fight. So get ready and send two of your men out for a fight."
Li Qing smiled slightly and said:
"sure."
As soon as he finished speaking, a long whistle was heard from behind the city wall, followed by two figures flying over the city wall and slowly landing behind Li Qing.
Everyone's eyes fell on Long Shoulong Fa who was slowly falling down. His strong body covered with dragon scales combined with his light movements gave people an extremely strong visual impact.
"Two fifth-level dragon vein sorcerers and dragon vein fighters?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, Zhao Dingzhen was also surprised, then he smiled and said:
"Lan Guilong, don't you want to take the test? My brother is here, come take the test!"
The corners of Lan Guilong's mouth twitched slightly. He was quite surprised. He never expected that an apprentice under a two-star mentor would be so capable.
He coughed lightly and waved his hand:
"It seems that your men are quite powerful. Even I only have one fifth-level dragon vein sorcerer. There is no need to try. Just check your troops later."
"Everyone, wait a moment!"
Li Qing whispered to Long Shou:
"Tell An Erqiu to prepare to gather the troops and prepare for the military parade!"
"No!"
Just as Long Shou finished speaking and had not yet responded, a clear and pleasant voice was heard. Li Qing looked up and saw the chariot door open, and a beautiful girl in an exquisite light blue princess dress walked out of the chariot.
The girl's appearance is so delicate that she doesn't look like an ordinary person. Her skin is whiter than snow, her eyes are like stars, and her body is not big but her curves are exquisite. What a petite and stunning beauty.
But what surprised Li Qing was that, although such a stunning beauty should be desirable, when he looked at her, he felt an inexplicable force influencing him, which made him feel no intention of blasphemy, but instead inexplicably awed.
It was as if this was not a beautiful girl, but a ferocious dragon.
The girl came between them with her hands behind her back. Although she was petite, Li Qing clearly felt the visible changes in the aura of Lan Guilong and Zhao Dingzhen, and he bent down and lowered his head involuntarily.
At the same time, as the girl walked up to him, he clearly felt a slight throbbing in his heart.
"Godly power?"
The girl stood in front of Li Qing with her hands behind her back, looked up at him, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She raised her head and leaned forward, sniffing with her small nose.
"Hmm, you smell very special!"
Li Qing leaned back somewhat awkwardly. At this moment, he did not feel that a beautiful woman was approaching him, but that a giant dragon was approaching him. The pressure coming towards him made him feel very uncomfortable.
The girl seemed to realize something and stopped moving. After thinking for a while, she reached out to pat his shoulder, but she was too small to reach him, so she could only pat Li Qing's arm...
Then, as Zhao Dingzhen subconsciously turned his gaze to the other side, everyone heard a crisp "click" sound and Li Qing's muffled groan, saying:
"No need to try, just him."
After saying this, she put her hands behind her back and skipped past Li Qing towards the city:
"Let's go and take a look at your divine domain."
Zhao Dingzhen then turned his head and looked at Li Qing with pitiful eyes. He opened his mouth and said:
"The boss is a little too strong, you'll get used to it in the future."
Li Qing was speechless:
“Is this a bit big?”
Although he is a mage, he has the blessing of divinity and his physique is stronger than that of the average fifth-level warrior. He could break bones with just a casual slap. His strength is too outrageous.
The most important thing is that he could feel that Miss Gu was already patting him lightly with caution...
On the way back to the city, he whispered to Zhao Dingzhen:
"This Miss Gu is so amazing, yet she is only the runner-up?"
Zhao Dingzhen nodded:
"yes."
"So your chief is more powerful than her?"
"Not really."
"Why?"
"Because...she said to keep a low profile."
Li Qing...
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Miss Gu's strength was even more terrifying than Zhao Dingzhen described, and was definitely not what she had shown now.
The power she displayed was probably even more powerful than that of Long Shou who had fully increased his power when his bloodline was developed and reached level 5. And according to Zhao Dingzhen, she was a mage...
Combined with the feeling just now, he guessed that even if Zhao Dingzhen didn't know much about this Miss Gu, he might only know a small part.
He guessed that this Miss Gu either possessed legendary blood or divinity, and her level of divinity was definitely much higher than his own.
He has only a little divinity, and the divinity level is only LV1. This Miss Gu is probably above LV3, so the gap is huge.
However, this is a good thing. The stronger the leader, the higher the success rate in dealing with the prepared calamity lord, and the less pressure on oneself.
Next, he took Miss Gu and several other apprentices on a tour of the territory. Apart from praising his city wall, he did not make any comments about other places in his divine domain.
Apparently, the army that seemed so powerful to ordinary apprentices at that time was nothing surprising to them.
An hour later, on the first floor of the core tower of the divine realm.
Li Qing, Zhao Dingzhen, Lan Guilong, and three other team members sat in the hall and held a small meeting.
The other four apprentices were not members of the team, but were just their younger brothers who served them and acted as cannon fodder, and they would get a share of the money afterwards.
Although they are just cannon fodder, they are actually getting the upper hand.
With their current strength, they can quickly rebuild even if all their troops are wiped out, but if you follow them in this wave, you can at least get around 100 million, which is the capital that an ordinary war lord apprentice needs many years to accumulate.
The meeting was chaired by Lan Guilong. Miss Gu was not there, so she would not take care of these things. Usually, matters were decided by the team members through internal discussions.
With Miss Gu's approval, Lan Guilong no longer had the hostility he had at the beginning towards Li Qing. He sat in front of him and told him their plan.
