Chapter 24: Causes of Wealth

Attacking the secret realm is not the purpose of the Black Armor Divine Arm soldiers, their goal is to collect supplies from the secret realm.

After a brief accounting of their military exploits, the Xuanjia and Shenbi soldiers quickly withdrew from the secret realm, leaving only Zhou Yuan and the military commander Cai Cheng.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's puzzled expression, Military Commander Cai Cheng began to explain.

"To prevent soldiers from dying suddenly, the camp stipulates that at least two soldiers will be stationed in the secret area, waiting for the transport soldiers to transfer supplies."

“Usually we would leave behind a Divine Arm Hand and a Secret Realm Leader.

The reason I'm keeping you here today is because you'll be stationed with the Secret Realm team and should familiarize yourself with every plant and tree here as quickly as possible."

Military Commander Cai Cheng, like an NPC in the dungeon, diligently introduced the situation in the dungeon to Zhou Yuan.

In addition to focusing on the positions and attack rhythms of each bandit, he also took Zhou Yuan into the room of the demon leader.

"Zhou Yuan, everyone is greedy. Even though you are young and full of vigor, I'm afraid you are no exception."

“I brought you here to tell you that there are magical herbs in the Demon Village Lord’s room, but the number of these magical herbs is limited and has never changed over the years.

Not only that, all the supplies in the secret realm are counted, and any shortage can be seen."

"Open the large box next to the bed and see if there are 10 white porcelain medicine bottles, 5 blue porcelain medicine bottles, and a martial arts manual."

Zhou Yuan could tell that his new leader was teaching him to control his desires and not to secretly take things he shouldn't take. If anything went wrong, he would be able to find out the truth after a quick investigation.

Faced with this kind reminder, he had to accept it and opened the box next to the bed as instructed.

Sure enough, there were 10 bottles of golden wound medicine, 5 bottles of Yuzhen powder, and a martial arts diagram called "Sancai Posture".

"It is exactly as the military commander said, exactly as he said.

I have learned my lesson. From now on, I will restrain my greed and not take any items from the secret realm."

“As long as you understand, whatever can be given to you will be distributed to you in the camp even if you don’t tell us.

For example, the powder in the white porcelain medicine bottle is best for stopping bleeding and healing wounds. Any Xuanjia warrior or Shenbi hand injured in the attack in the secret realm can receive a bottle.

Some of the live pigs, chickens, and food in the village will go into your stomachs, and some will be converted into money and distributed to you."

“Don’t look at the soldiers with the Black Armor Divine Arm fighting desperately in the secret realm, it’s extremely dangerous.

In fact, they are all wealthy, and most of them have bought land and married wives and concubines in Jing'an City."

“In this secret realm, the only things you can’t get are the five blue porcelain medicine bottles.

It's a spiritual object that nourishes Qi and is spiritual food for warriors. It looks extremely precious, but in reality, it has no value to you."

“I’m giving you a piece of advice: if you are lucky enough to obtain a spiritual object in the future, never use it yourself.

Once you use that thing, you can't stop. Otherwise, you'll lose your spiritual energy and your energy will dissipate and return to the mortal world, and in the end, it will all be for nothing."

Yuzhen Powder is just a blue medicine to Zhou Yuan. He can get a few bottles of it by clearing dungeons. It is not that precious.

But it is different for the locals. The items in the game dungeon that can restore mana are the source of their supernatural powers and the spiritual objects that maintain their supernatural powers.

When the two functions of activation and maintenance are concentrated on one type of item, the copy spiritual object becomes the foundation of the extraordinary group.

"Thank you for your warning, Commander-in-Chief. I will keep it in mind."

While Zhou Yuan was talking to Cai Cheng, a group of soldiers in red casual clothes quickly ran into the village.

They divided into several groups and skillfully rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, even the room of the demon village chief. The Yuzhen Powder, which was regarded as a spiritual object from the secret realm, was even transported personally by a general.

After they left, another team of soldiers seamlessly entered the secret realm and headed straight for the pigpen in the village.

"Bang."

Tieguduo smashed the pig's head, and the two men carried them on their backs and ran away. In a blink of an eye, nine pigs of different sizes were transported out of the secret realm.

Next came wave after wave of people transporting food, catching chickens, and collecting bows and weapons, just like ants moving house.

For a moment, Zhou Yuan was confused as to whether they were regular troops or professional bandits.

"Why are you staring at them? Take a good look at the terrain here.

Our Xuanjia team usually positions themselves at these three locations. Try to figure out which shooting position is best for you and how to get there quickly."

"Jun Sima, don't we need to go and help?"

"No, they are very experienced. This job is safe and well paid, so it's not a tough job.

If we help, they won't need so many people working at the transport station. Don't be so kind and ruin other people's jobs."

Combat troops and auxiliary troops are not in the same system. Combat troops are mainly responsible for fighting and monitoring, while auxiliary troops are mainly responsible for transportation.

Military Commander Cai Cheng told Zhou Yuan that they were not standing here with nothing to do, but to supervise the transportation.

If there is no supervision and management, some people may hide things, push and crowd, and disrupt order.

After handing over the important task of supervision to Cai Cheng, Zhou Yuan began to explore the village carefully.

He found that the Jing'an Army was indeed a veteran thief. The rooms visited by the auxiliary troops of Yun were cleaner than those that had been chewed by dogs.

They took away the bedding and cloths, moved away the treasure chests and boxes, and even took away the knives and iron pots in the kitchen.

He looked at the wooden bed in the room and felt very familiar. After taking a closer look, he found that it was exactly the same wooden bed he slept on in Shesheng Camp.

No wonder the Jing'an Army is so extraordinarily wealthy. With Niutou Village, a huge blood pool that is constantly being refreshed, they can't be poor even if they want to.

Taking advantage of the moment when he had nothing to do, Zhou Yuan added the 200 experience points he gained from defeating the boss to his "String Control" skill.

The moment his string control skill reached the maximum level, he felt that everything around him had quieted down.

It was an extreme concentration. In this state, the auxiliary soldiers transporting supplies back and forth seemed to have slowed down a lot.

When he raised his bow, he knew where to shoot so that the arrow could hit the auxiliary soldier's head, torso, legs and other parts.

The hard three-stone bow became as flexible as the two-stone bow. When the fingertips brushed across the bowstring, the force was naturally concentrated and activated.

"Whoosh, bang, bang."

Three sharp arrows flew towards the log wall of the village one after another. As soon as the first one landed, the second one tore through its shaft. The third one arrived in an instant and hit the same point.

"Three stars in a row, many arrows with one heart.

If the bandit leader stands still now, these three arrows of mine will definitely penetrate his skull and empty his health bar."

The full-level string-controlling skill has already surpassed the limits of mortals.

Now, apart from the mysterious warrior, no one in the entire Jing'an Army can shoot more accurately and faster than Zhou Yuan.

Perhaps an extremely talented shooter will be able to do the same thing at some point.

But he couldn't fix that moment of amazement, and this was Zhou Yuan's constant state.

When Zhou Yuan and the military commander Cai Cheng left the secret realm, the audit clerk from the Colonel's Mansion immediately sent money.

Zhou Yuan received 4 taels of gold and 500 copper coins, and the military commander Cai Cheng received 6 taels of gold, with no additional copper coins to make up the difference.

"Military Commander, aren't we being treated too well? With so many secret realms, it's hard not to get rich."

"You put in more effort and get more, but the other people's magic arms can only get less than 30% of what you get.

The Xuanjiashi will take more, but they will defend desperately and suffer more physical damage."

"I'm a bit special. I usually get 6 taels of gold, but I'll be fined if I make a mistake. I'll have to pay for every Xuanjia warrior I lose."

Zhou Yuan shook the four taels of gold in his hand and suddenly understood why the rewards in the camp were so great.

The soldiers with divine arms and black armor are normal people after all, and they cannot fight in tough battles for several years.

Maybe after a year of high-intensity fighting, one will be physically and mentally exhausted, and it will take a lot of money to maintain the fighting spirit.
