I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Recruitment

Seeing those irritating red areas on the territory map, Song Jian’s eyebrows furrowed, and he contacted Luo Tianyu directly.

“Luo Tianyu, have you seen those players’ safe houses in the alliance’s territory? Go ask if they’re willing to join the alliance, and if not, advise them to move away from this area!” Song Jian said.

“What if they don’t want to leave?” Luo Tianyu asked after a moment’s hesitation.

“Then tear them down!” Song Jian replied: “Before tearing them down, purchase some siege equipment in the alliance’s store. Just tell me how much it costs.”

“Understood!” Luo Tianyu finished speaking, ordering the newly recruited soldiers to head towards those players’ safe houses.

Song Jian threw all the level 20 equipment in the package into the bar, set up the exchange contribution, and went to Dr. Ebsiting’s sub-castle.

“Doctor, I’ve formed an alliance!” Song Jian told the experimenting doctor.

“An alliance?” Dr. Ebsiting shuddered, and a test tube filled with liquid suddenly burst into blue flames and a puff of black smoke came out.

Throwing the scrapped test tube material into the garbage bin, Dr. Ebsiting gazed at Song Jian with a complex expression, “I hope you can shelter more humans in this city in the future, becoming a refuge for humanity!”

“Of course, there’s no problem…” Song Jian was surprised at Dr. Ebsiting’s attitude but still agreed to his request.

“Doctor, I hope you can produce more engineering products in the future to serve as the alliance’s reserves.” Song Jian said.

If it were just Song Jian alone, he would not make such a request because his own engineering skills were enough. However, having only mastered level five engineering, Song Jian was clearly insufficient for an alliance.

“Yes!” Dr. Ebsiting agreed without hesitation. The stark change from his previously unpleasant attitude was surprising to Song Jian, but he didn’t say anything.

With an engineering master in the alliance, Song Jian felt more confident, so he left satisfied.

After Song Jian left, Dr. Ebsiting turned around and gazed at Song Jian’s retreating figure, as if recalling something. After a long time, a heavy sigh came from Dr. Ebsiting’s laboratory.

Leaving the sub-castle where the doctor was located, Song Jian opened the map and saw that those red dots on the territory map had disappeared.

There were no new players in the alliance interface, Song Jian was surprised: “It hasn’t even been 10 minutes, and Luo Tianyu has already conquered all their safe houses?”

Standing in the castle and looking into the distance, seven or eight catapults were slowly approaching from afar; clearly, Luo Tianyu had purchased all the limited stock of catapults from the alliance store and used their powerful firepower to level the safehouses of several players.

“This…this is too brutal!” Song Jian couldn’t help but shake his head.

Soon, the bill for these seven or eight catapults appeared before Song Jian, costing more than 60,000 Doomsday Coins! It was too expensive!

However, with so many catapults in the front yard, not to mention the players whose manors had not yet been upgraded, even Song Jian’s current manor walls would not withstand several rounds of catapulting. It made sense to level those safe houses within such a short time.

“Luo Tianyu, how did you deal with those players?” Song Jian couldn’t help but ask.

Riding on an Abyssal Nightmare and wielding a Square Sky Halberd, Luo Tianyu was clad in crimson armor that seemed like flames. He glanced at Song Jian and proudly said, “I drove them all away, of course. What, are we supposed to have them stay for dinner?”

Song Jian nodded; after all, they were just a few level 10+ players who could live well in Doomsday City even without safe houses.

His own territory and alliance territory merged, expanding several hundred meters outward. The territory was now nearly one kilometer in size. There weren’t enough NPCs in the territory, so they needed to recruit more helpers.

Song Jian left it all to steward George. However, there was a monthly recruitment limit for NPCs in the territory, and it couldn’t be unlimited.

“My lord, we should recruit wandering NPCs from the city to build our territory faster and more effectively,” Steward George respectfully suggested.

“George, what do you recommend?” Song Jian asked.

Usually, when NPCs reported to Song Jian, his first response was this. After asking, NPCs would always provide great solutions, so Song Jian didn’t have to worry.

Song Jian just needed to choose the best solution from among them.

“My lord, I suggest building a tavern in the territory. With a tavern, there will be a steady flow of wandering NPCs visiting every day, and our recruitment opportunities will be much greater.” George replied.

“That’s a good idea, George. Arrange for someone to build it. If there’s no alcohol available, you can contact the Sunflower Bar and get a batch from them. Also, ask if they can help us train some bartenders.” Song Jian nodded and said.

“Very well, my lord. I will carry out your orders and send someone to negotiate with the Sunflower Bar!” Steward George nodded and said, “Additionally, there’s a recruiting hall in the city where you can recruit suitable talents!” “Recruiting hall?” Song Jian was taken aback, as he had never heard this information before, not even mentioned in the game update content.

” Where’s the recruiting hall?” Song Jian asked curiously.

“It’s at the highest building in the city!” George pointed at the Television Tower in the city center.

From where Song Jian stood, he could only see the tip of the tower. It was indeed the tallest building in the city, but it was so close to the city center that Song Jian even suspected it was in an area populated by level 30 monsters.

“I’ll check it out when I have the chance,” Song Jian nodded.

Level 30 monsters were still a challenge for Song Jian. He could handle one or two, but more than five would make him consider retreating. If he encountered a level 30 Elite Level Boss, Song Jian would likely turn tail and run immediately.

“Are there any other methods?” Song Jian glanced at the distant Television Tower and casually asked.

“There’s another one, my lord!” George nodded, “Every month, several prisons will randomly appear in the city, holding some very powerful NPCs. If you can rescue them, you have a great chance of recruiting them!”

“Very powerful NPCs?” Song Jian was taken aback and couldn’t help but ask, “How did they get imprisoned, and why are they appearing in this city?”
