Chapter 119: Benefits of a Commander
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Senior Sister, what’s that command you mentioned?”
After Fang Chang left, Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin’er and asked in confusion.
Although Mo Xiao was very strong now, he really didn’t know anything about the base city.
“Commander’s authority is just that, after obtaining it, once the battle starts, all the participants at the gate you’re stationed at must follow your command. It’s that simple,” Su finer said casually.
Listening to this explanation, Mo Xiao’s expression became somewhat odd, clearly not fully believing Su Jiner’s words.
“I don’t even know how to command. It’s not good to give me this kind of command, is it? Or does this command have some other benefits?”
Seeing that Mo Xiao had already guessed it, Su Jin’er did not hide it anymore and said, “After the siege battle begins, the rules for killing monsters will change.
“The rules will directly become the rules of the Tianyuan Battlefield. The monsters you kill will no longer drop anything, and even your experience will decrease by 50%.”
“What? That’s disgusting!” Hearing this, Mo Xiao’s eyes widened, greatly puzzled by why it would be so unpleasant.
“I also want to know why it’s like this, but it’s not something we can control. After all, this world isn’t very friendly to us humans,” Su Jiner sighed lightly and continued, “Of course, this battle intent and the Tianyuan Battlefield aren’t entirely without benefits.”
“After the battle starts, every small monster you kill will earn you a certain amount of merit points.”
“Merit points? You’ve mentioned that a few times. What are they used for?” Mo Xiao continued to ask.
“The simplest use is to exchange them for special items. Anything available in this world can be obtained through merit points,” Su Jiner explained further, “Aside from exchanges, they’re also used to assess your military achievements. For instance, my Three-Star General title required a million merit points.”
“As for the other usages, you’ll know them when you get to the Hero Hall.”
“A million merit points…” Mo Xiao mused for a moment upon hearing this, nodding slightly, lost in thought.
Seeing Mo Xiao lost in thought, Su Jiner chuckled, “Are you already thinking about how to accumulate merit points so quickly?”
“Don’t worry, this commander’s authority is linked to merit points.”
Mo Xiao was taken aback: “Linked to the commander’s authority?”
“Yes, a commander can obtain ten percent of the merit points earned by everyone in their commanded battle zone. While the number might not be very high, for a new recruit, it’s not a small figure,” Su Jiner grinned.
“Moreover, the main point is that this is an additional bonus. The more monsters you kill, the greater this bonus becomes.”
“Can the merit points 1 earn from killing monsters count?” Mo Xiao asked in surprise.
Su Jiner nodded, saying, “That’s right. So, I’ve secured this opportunity for you. Whether you can make the most of it depends on you.”
“I understand. Thank you, Senior Sister,” Mo Xiao quickly thanked her.
“There’s no need to be polite with me. I just hope that you won’t let me down-”
Half an hour later, in the City Lord’s Residence.
Fang Chang, Jiang Ran, and Jiang Shan sat quietly in the office, seemingly waiting for something.
“I say, big brother, what’s Sister-in-law busy with? Why hasn’t she arrived yet?” Jiang Shan grew impatient after waiting for a while.
Jiang Ran glanced at Jiang Shan and said, “Jiang He has encountered such a big matter. She must be consoling her daughter. We’re waiting for…”
Before Jiang Ran could finish speaking, the office door was kicked open, and a cold-looking woman walked in briskly, saying, “Long wait, I’m here.”
The newcomer was none other than Jiang He’s mother and the Hall Master of the Instance Dungeon, Fang Ting.
Fang Chang looked at the woman before him and sighed helplessly, “Sister, couldn’t you have opened the door a bit more gently?”
“Nonsense aside, I’m in a bad mood right now. Why did you urgently call me here?” Fang Ting coldly glanced at Fang Chang and took a seat directly across from him.
Looking at this domineering woman, Fang Chang couldn’t help but sigh, “We’re looking for you this time because the monsters are launching a siege battle against our base city.”
“What?!”
As soon as Fang Chang uttered these words, both Jiang Shan and Fang Ting stood up abruptly.
“What level of battle?”
“When did this happen?”
Before Fang Chang could speak, both of them asked simultaneously.
Fang Chang looked at the two of them, waved his hand, signaling for them to sit down, and then said, “It’s a Level 3 battle. We just received the notification. According to the system prompt, it will start in three days.”
“Three days… that should be enough,” Fang Ting remained silent for a moment before saying calmly.
Fang Chang looked at them hesitantly for a moment and said, “I have another thing to discuss…”
Seeing Fang Chang’s hesitating expression, Fang Ting’s brow furrowed instantly, “Is there more bad news?”
“Well… I’m planning to give up my commander’s authority.”
As soon as this was said, everyone’s attention focused on Fang Chang: “Give it up? Give it to whom?”
“Of course, to me.”
Before Fang Chang could speak, Su Jin’er’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Miss Su, why are you here?”
Looking at Su Jin’er who suddenly entered the door, Fang Chang was also stunned. He did not expect Su Jin’er to come straight for him.
“Of course I’m afraid that it’ll be difficult for you.” Su Jin’er smiled faintly and said, “As a three-star general, 1 have the qualification to take on the role of commander alongside you for the siege battle.”
“True, but aren’t you planning to give the commander’s authority to Mo Xiao?”
Hearing Fang Chang’s words, Su Jiner’s lips twitched slightly, then she said, “My junior brother and 1 are guarding the same city gate. Is there any difference between him being the commander or me?”
Fang Ting looked at Su Jiner and said directly, “As long as you’re willing to help our Yicheng Base City, you can give the commander’s position to anyone. And if one isn’t enough, I can also offer you my commander’s position.”
“Rest assured, even if I’m doing this to help my junior brother accumulate merit points, 1 will still make an effort to kill monsters.” Su Jiner smiled and continued, “As for the second commander’s authority, I’ll pass on that. If 1 also become a commander, my junior brother’s merit points might decrease significantly.
“Alright, since you all agree, 1 won’t waste any more time here. Prepare yourselves well.” After saying that, Su Jiner turned around and left. However, she suddenly turned back, saying, “By the way, I’m curious, have you heard of someone named Mo Feng?”
Hearing this name, everyone in the office was momentarily stunned.
“I don’t want to meddle in your affairs, but I can’t ignore my junior brother’s situation.. I hope you all will act responsibly in some matters-
