Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
If you continue to be so afraid of death, then just pack your things and get out of our Gathering Point. After Zhang Chu finished speaking, These people didn't dare to say more and just sat there waiting to see how the higher-ups would assign them. Those patrolling Outside the City will still get 20,000 yuan a month, but for those willing to join the Hunting Squad, whether they catch prey or not, they will be paid 50,000 yuan upfront." Under heavy rewards, there will surely be brave men; this is...
"What on earth are you thinking? As the Strong Ones of our Gathering Point, is this what you should be doing? You should be holding up the sky for these common people. Where has the Human Spirit gone? If All people were like you, how could We defeat the Vicious Beasts? If you continue to be so afraid of death, then just pack your things and get out of our Gathering Point. See if any other Gathering Point would take in cowards like you."
Following Zhang Chu's scolding, These people slowly lowered their heads. The reason These people had such thoughts was that they were terrified by the mortality rate Outside the City.
After Zhang Chu finished speaking, These people didn't dare to say more and just sat there waiting to see how the higher-ups would assign them.
Everyone hoped to be assigned to patrol duty, as things under the City Wall were slightly safer.
Zhang Chu wanted to say more, but then he remembered he was no longer the Controller; the Controller here was Now Wei Xiong. The rest of the words would have to be said by Wei Xiong.
Even if These people lacked backbone, he couldn't overstep his bounds; the scolding was Wei Xiong's job too.
"Everyone has no objections, right? Then I'll ask as a matter of routine: who is willing to go hunting Outside the City with me? If there are volunteers, I won't call names."
There were pros and cons to both choices.
Going hunting Outside the City was slightly more dangerous, but the rewards were indeed much greater.
A Warrior Apprentice only earned a salary of 20,000 yuan a month. While that was enough for a normal life, it wouldn't be nearly enough if they wanted to train or buy equipment.
Therefore, they needed to make money. For them, there weren't many places to earn money, and going out to hunt was the most important one.
Just like last time, they could basically get several hundred thousand yuan, which was about equivalent to two years of their salary. But some who were unwilling to take risks thought that if they lost their lives out there, no amount of money would be useful.
After Wei Xiong finished speaking, not a single person was willing to stand up. It seemed Everyone still wanted to live a peaceful life; surviving was their best choice.
"Then We'll improve the benefits. Those patrolling Outside the City will still get 20,000 yuan a month, but for those willing to join the Hunting Squad, whether they catch prey or not, they will be paid 50,000 yuan upfront."
Under heavy rewards, there will surely be brave men; this is an eternal truth.
But after Wei Xiong finished saying this, the people below still didn't react. The increase wasn't much, only 30,000 yuan. Could 30,000 yuan buy their lives?
Second Wu opened his mouth; This Fellow wanted to go out. Strangely enough, This Fellow had no other thoughts but confidence in Liu Ning. As long as he followed Liu Ning, he felt he could keep his life.
Unfortunately, when he went out last time, This Fellow's arm was injured. After drinking a healing Potions, he had to recover inside the City for a while, otherwise, This Fellow would have definitely gone out.
"Where has your Human Spirit gone? If the human Strong Ones were all like you, hiding in the Base City every day, how could We fight the Vicious Beasts? The Vicious Beasts could easily finish us off. What kind of education did you receive? Do you know what the consequences are? If We don't hunt the Vicious Beasts, their numbers will double and triple. Will We be able to resist them then?"
Wei Xiong was truly speechless. He couldn't hold back anymore and let out a torrent of abuse at his subordinates; they had no spirit of sacrifice at all.
Amidst Wei Xiong's voice, Fang Qiang and Li Tie raised their hands.
Seeing this result, Wei Xiong felt a sense of relief. At least some people still had ambition. If Everyone were like this, Wei Xiong would probably lose heart. On the surface, the Gathering Point belonged to him.
But in reality, it belonged to Everyone. If he were the only one so willing to sacrifice while others hid under their covers, then the Gathering Point would certainly have no hope. If Wei Xiong were injured, the Gathering Point would likely have no future; no Gathering Point could rely on a single person.
Except for these two, the rest of the people lowered their heads. To be honest, These people also wanted to save their own lives.
In their long lives, they had long forgotten their former ambitions. When they first became a Warrior Apprentice, they had also fantasized about one day becoming a Warrior. But after living for so long, their dreams had long been discarded; they only thought about getting through each day.
"So These people are who I've been protecting all along. If I had known it would be like this, I probably wouldn't have worked so hard. Do you know? Taking you out with us isn't just about making you contribute. We are all from the same Gathering Point; in the Wilderness, We would look after you more or less and let you gain some experience. Do you think things can continue like this forever? When our Gathering Point is gone, you will join other Gathering Points. Will those other Gathering Points negotiate with you? Without any survival experience in the Wilderness, you'll just be food for those Vicious Beasts. Don't you want to improve your combat skills? Don't you want to upgrade your equipment?"
Honestly, seeing the current situation, Wei Xiong was truly disappointed. If those at the top were like this, it was even worse for those below.
"Let me interject. If Everyone is truly unwilling to go out, We can go to the Mercenary Guild and simply hire a Service Squad."
Sun Qiang raised his hand. Every Service Squad was composed of Warrior Apprentices; they specifically served Warriors. Moreover, because they spent a long time in the Wilderness, all their skills were surely much stronger than These people's.
Taking six Warrior Apprentices out would cost 300,000 yuan, plus they'd need a share of the profits. A Service Squad didn't need a share; you just paid them one or two million yuan upfront.
"I think this is a good idea. I agree with giving the money to those Service Squads..."
Immediately, someone agreed. These people were cowardly to the extreme. Regardless of whether it was for training, the mortality rate beyond 5 Kilometers was too high, and they were determined not to go. As long as they didn't have to go out, they didn't care who the money went to.
Now, it was just a state of drifting through life.
Wei Xiong nodded with a bitter smile, already having made up his mind.
