Chapter 3356: Error and Changing Strategy

The cooperation was successfully negotiated, and Morey's expression became much more natural. To be safe, signing a contract was more stable.

Mentioning signing a contract, Morey's just-stabilized mentality collapsed a little again.

"Do we really have to sign? Oral agreements are actually not bad. Don't worry, I won't run."

Morey's tone was very sincere. Undoubtedly, she had developed contract phobia. Perhaps she never dreamed that the contracts she signed from the 1st Tier to the 7th Tier would be played with so many tricks after falling into the hands of the Hunters/Rule-breakers of Reincarnation Paradise, almost being played to the point of breaking.

"You're nervous for nothing, it's us signing your contract."

Baha spoke. Hearing this, Morey felt amazed in her heart. After a little thought, she drafted a contract notarized by Apocalypse Paradise.

For others signing the contract she drafted, Morey was of course 10,000 times at ease. Unfortunately, today, Su Xiao would teach Morey a lesson.

The contract parchment floated to Su Xiao. He raised his hand and pressed it, and the handprint revealed, still scattering faint blood aura.

While Su Xiao signed this contract, another parchment covered in blood patterns in his sleeve rolled up and wrapped around his forearm, sticking tightly to his skin.

On this contract parchment in his sleeve, a contract had long been drafted. This contract was notarized by Reincarnation Paradise. This contract was a contract that interfered with Su Xiao signing contracts.

It sounded very confusing at first glance. Its principle was that Su Xiao first signed this blood contract 100% notarized by Reincarnation Paradise, using the power of the contract to "stipulate" a content: in the next few minutes, any contract he signed would be invalid.

Relying on personal power to fight against the power of the contract was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. As the saying goes, use magic to defeat magic. Similarly, use the power of the contract to resist the power of the contract.

This move right now was not omnipotent. It was invalid against contracts notarized by Reincarnation Paradise and the Void Tree. The former was homologous and could not use this means, and the latter was the notarizing party, and the power of the contract was too strong.

Apart from this point, the blood contract had many drawbacks. For example, after activation, if you don't sign other contracts with others within 5 minutes, this expensive blood contract will expire.

Building a blood contract requires consuming permission levels. Su Xiao's current brand level is Lv. 76, and the base of permission level is also Lv. 76. Because his comprehensive evaluation is often very high, he has obtained many extra permission levels. After these extra permission levels are accumulated, there are 26 levels.

Base permission level Lv. 76, plus extra permission level Lv. 4, Su Xiao's permission level reaches the 8th Tier upper limit, Lv. 80. To improve further, it's a matter of advancing to the 9th Tier.

The 22 levels of extra permission levels are usually useless, but sometimes, these extra permission levels are exceptionally useful, such as consuming Lv. 1 to build a blood contract.

This blood contract was thought up by Su Xiao himself. The inspiration was that sentence "use magic to defeat magic." He was using a contract to avoid signing some contracts that were unfavorable to himself.

This time it was an experiment to see if the blood contract he built by consuming permission levels could take effect, making the other party think he had already signed the contract, while using the blood contract to isolate the contract drafted by the other party, so that even if he breached the contract, the other party's contract could not take effect.

A common metaphor was that the punishment after breaching the contract was equivalent to a fighter jet locked by a missile. No matter how you dodge, you will eventually be blown into scrap metal. The blood contract was equivalent to loading infrared interference bombs into this fighter jet. The missile comes, and a large piece of infrared interference bombs is released. Although it is not certain that it can be 100% intercepted, it can also deal with it.

The parchment floated back to Morey. She checked the handprint Su Xiao pressed on it, and after confirming there was no problem, she put away the contract with satisfaction.

This contract had constraints on the three parties. The main content was that during the cooperation period, if Morey and Moon Apostle didn't have brain-dead behavior, Su Xiao couldn't make a move to kill the two. Morey and Moon Apostle couldn't run away before completing the cooperation. Otherwise, 80% of their assets would belong to Su Xiao.

This contract was now two-thirds complete. It would only be considered complete after Moon Apostle also signed it.

"What should I do?"

Morey didn't intend to continue pretending to be a salted fish. Since they were cooperating, she had to do something, although lying down and winning was quite comfortable.

"Mining."

Hearing Su Xiao say this, Morey was like being stepped on the tail, standing up excitedly and saying: "Are you kidding? I'm a Battle Angel! I'll go mining?"

*Clap, clap, clap~*

Sparse applause came, from Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha. No words were needed. This sense of sarcasm made Morey's face flush red.

Morey said loudly: "I, Morey, Battle Angel, don't mine."

*Clap clap clap... *

The applause became enthusiastic immediately.

"Good!"

Baha even shouted "Good," which almost made Morey socially die.

"Not mining, are you sure?"

"Very sure."

"That's good. Take Hausman, Steel Teeth, and 300 Wild Boar warriors, form a raid team, and go loot the Kindred fortress 40 kilometers away."

Su Xiao had this idea for a long time and hadn't found a candidate. Previously, he was prepared to let Hunting Tide do this, but who would have thought that Hunting Tide would be raided in "Luoyashi" and escape back to the base camp with near-fatal injuries.

Although Amu and Baha could also serve as leaders, they were Su Xiao's followers. Once exposed, the risk was too high.

Su Xiao had never underestimated the intelligence means of the three major Kindred factions. Right now, he wanted to develop silently. Before the number of Wild Boar Men reached a certain scale, it was not easy to have a direct conflict with the Kindred.

Right now, Su Xiao had 3655 Wild Boar warriors under his command. This number didn't seem large, but he had already stood firm. They went to the Alienated Beast territory to hunt today, plus 2638 Pig-Headed Men laborers mining. On the second day Su Xiao came to the Border Area, the daily income was 73 units of active ore.

Letting Morey lead the team to loot the Kindred fortress, even if the matter reached the Kindred Alliance, they wouldn't be able to find out that Morey was related to Su Xiao. The Wild Boar Men who went together were all dressed as scavengers.

The active ore looted, as well as the Pig-Headed Men robbed, were sent back to the base camp, and other gains all belonged to Morey.

"It's a deal."

Morey agreed immediately. In the past two days, she had been so uncomfortable hiding in Moon Apostle's hiding place, playing games and lying down every day. She felt she had become a bit of a homebody, gradually becoming Moon Apostle-ized.

Morey took Hausman and Steel Teeth outside the door and left. She had to pick the remaining 300 Wild Boar warriors herself to form an elite raid team.

After Morey left the command room, Baha asked in a low voice: "Boss, why didn't we loot several T3-tier or above fortresses before? This develops much faster than mining. Don't leave any survivors, kill the fortress body, and burn it with a fire. The possibility of the Kindred side tracking it over is not high."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't answer. Why hadn't he gone to loot T3-tier fortresses? Actually, the reason was simple. T3-tier or above fortresses had a not-low probability of being equipped with heavy-artillery-grade weapons. If hit by that thing in a vital area, or if one was in the center of the attack area, even Su Xiao had a high probability of dying. Heavy-artillery-grade weapons were war weapons of the 8th Tier.

Against war weapons with individual power, individual power is not a tier higher, so it's best to be careful. The purpose of creating that kind of thing is to kill all living things, and most have weaknesses such as being immovable or having slow attack frequency. Everything is concentrated on power.

Su Xiao stood in front of the arc-shaped window, watching the looting team setting off aggressively. Not all T3-tier fortresses were equipped with heavy-artillery-grade weapons. Moreover, facing heavy-artillery-grade weapons would be a common occurrence in future direct conflicts with the Kindred. Let Hausman and Steel Teeth adapt first to avoid being a drag in the future.

Besides this point, there had been progress regarding 【Cataclysm Solution】.

Not only that, Su Xiao had a very bold plan. Initially, he estimated that Pig-Headed Men should at least have some discoverable talents. Later, he found that there were none. The bloodline potential of Pig-Headed Men had been developed to the extreme by the Kindred in the "Life Factory."

Pig-Headed Men obtained strong tolerance and adaptability at the cost of overdrawing their bloodline potential. This was also why some fortresses let Pig-Headed Men mine for 22 hours and only sleep for a little over an hour, yet Pig-Headed Men could still persist for several years. This was overdrawing bloodline potential in exchange for tolerance and adaptability.

Except for Hausman, Steel Teeth, and the Fireball Team, the ten thousand Pig-Headed Men didn't have any units with outstanding talents. Except for being able to take a beating and having thick blood, they had no growth in combat, learning, etc.

No, these Pig-Headed Men could eat particularly well. The ingredient merchant had already regarded Caesar as a super big customer.

Su Xiao's current way of accumulating combat power was to buy Pig-Headed Men and then distinguish whether they had the potential to become warriors.

The process of selecting reserve warriors required eliminating 20% of the Pig-Headed Men, and then letting them go to the Alienated Beast territory. Among three Pig-Headed Men, one could transform into a Wild Boar Man and return, which was already a very good situation.

Think this is already very good? Not really. These Wild Boar Men only transformed due to the great fear between life and death. They still had a long way to go before they could fight.

That is to say, buying 100 Pig-Headed Men and picking out 1-3 warriors in a short time was already the limit. The rest could only be considered daring to charge and more resistant to beating than before.

During the war, once the number of casualties on their side exceeded 30%, the Wild Boar Men would inevitably feel fear. If casualties exceeded 50%, they would gradually appear to flee. If it exceeded 60%, that would be a comprehensive flight.

Su Xiao understood a truth: 99% of people would be afraid of death. Those who could not flee when facing a desperate situation were warriors, and those who fled could only be said to cherish their own lives, which was understandable.

Su Xiao didn't think he wouldn't make mistakes. After developing in the "Border Area" for two days, he had already realized this situation and must make changes. Otherwise, there was a high probability of a miserable defeat this time, thereby ushering in the fate of being besieged to death by human sea tactics.

If that were the case, it would be retribution. Presumably, strong people like Feishi, Tanshi, etc., who were besieged to death by Su Xiao using human sea tactics, would smile in the underworld immediately.

Making mistakes is not terrible; what's terrible is knowing mistakes but not changing, and not knowing that you made mistakes at all. Su Xiao determined that his current development method was wrong. It was developing too slowly and was unstable.

Su Xiao was hesitating whether to try summoning the Zerg. Thinking of his identity as an invader, and the fact that this was a World Conquest Battle notarized by the Void Tree, as long as he was detected by the Void Tree as an invader, that would be a double execution by the Void Tree + Apocalypse Paradise. There was no suspense; he would definitely die on the spot.

Assuming this identity as an invader was exposed, Su Xiao estimated that as long as he didn't do something that challenged the bottom line of the Void Tree's rules, Reincarnation Paradise would provide him with shelter. Otherwise, World Invasion would be too much of a pit.

Su Xiao's idea of summoning the Zerg was only dispelled in part. He couldn't summon the Zerg, but it didn't mean he couldn't use the power of the Zerg. May I ask, what is the power of the Zerg?

Quantity? Individual combat power? Neither, but the evolutionary and war-like nature of the Zerg. The Zerg exists for war, looting resources, development, and ultimately maintaining species continuation.

Su Xiao's train of thought was that the T4-tier fortress he currently occupied, which was the Doomsday Fortress, was itself a living thing. When he first saw this thing, he felt that it was somewhat similar to a Zerg nest, just with different specific functions.

Assuming the Doomsday Fortress was improved to a certain degree, making its vitality strong enough, then injecting the genes of one of the organs in the Demon Zerg Nest, the "Evolution Chamber," into the fortress core, and then reconciling it through alchemy, then, could the Doomsday Fortress appear with an organ similar to an "Evolution Chamber"?

Su Xiao didn't need this "Evolution Chamber" to evolve into a very strong Pig-Headed Man. He wanted this organ to be large enough for many Pig-Headed Men to enter it at the same time.

Logically speaking, with the domineering nature of Zerg genes, other creatures would die upon contact. Pig-Headed Men were different. They had been developed too ruthlessly by the Kindred generation after generation, making their bloodline potential almost completely overdrawn, in exchange for tolerance and adaptability, to become higher-level laborers.

The so-called bloodline potential is not shortening lifespan, that's even more ruthless. After the bloodline potential of Pig-Headed Men is overdrawn, they will never become top-tier experts of the 8th Tier. Reaching the level of Hausman is already very rare, and that is with the bonus of a War Lord.

No wonder the Kindred never worried about Pig-Headed Men resisting and didn't limit the number of Pig-Headed Men. In hundreds of years, only one legendary fighter, Oink, had appeared among Pig-Headed Men.

And the original life force in Oink's body was not his own original one, but his mentor, who injected most of his original life force into Oink's spinal cord in an extremely dangerous way.

Otherwise, relying solely on the bloodline of Pig-Headed Men, the legendary fighter Oink would never have been able to reach that level. He had a strong spirit and will, but he was born in the bloodline cage of the Kindred.

Precisely because Pig-Headed Men had their bloodline potential completely overdrawn and obtained strong tolerance and adaptability, Su Xiao had this plan.

He wanted to rely on Doomsday Fortress + Alchemy + Zerg Mother Nest Evolution Chamber genes to transform a huge "Evolution Chamber," and by this point, let Pig-Headed Men quickly become warriors who could go to the battlefield.

If everything went smoothly, Su Xiao estimated that he might be able to create warriors with different tendencies by injecting different genes into the "Evolution Chamber," such as heavy warriors, raid warriors, etc.

If these were achieved, only then could he really develop.

Sitting in front of the experimental bench, Su Xiao felt that this plan was worth a try. However, this required first producing 100% pure 【Cataclysm Solution】. Only by completely removing the "shackles" of the Doomsday Fortress could all this be realized. ===== CHAPTER 3357 =====
