After having contracted more than 500 servants, the game system's mission finally appeared once again.
This time, it was the main storyline mission given directly by the system.
[Commanding more than 500 troops, triggering main storyline mission.]
[Main Storyline Mission 1: Occupy a piece of territory to become the base of a faction.]
It was precisely because of this main storyline mission that Ning Shi had deliberately provoked Maku Gu to maintain his barbarity.
According to Ning Shi's plan, these extreme barbarians should have gone to the wilderness to help him farm monsters.
The extreme barbarians had excellent physical fitness. Even with the elderly, the weak, women and children, the team's speed was quite fast.
After three days, Ning Shi and his team finally arrived at the Redwood Forest near Duohuang.
"Rest on the spot. Duohuang is ahead! Everyone, finish the last of your rations and rest up."
Ning Shi gave the order and the long line stopped. Everyone sat on the ground and took out the buckwheat bread that was the speciality of the northern ice field and started eating.
Ning Shi could not eat the bitter bread. Instead, he looked around Redwood Forest to prevent the other magical beasts from attacking.
In the distance, two figures were rushing over. Ning Shi's eyesight was very good, and he recognized them at a glance.
Magis and Malu!
Their armors were still covered in blood, and the two-meter-long spiked mace was covered with the remains of unknown creatures.
"Magis, what happened? Didn't I tell you to farm reputation points in the arena? How come my reputation value has stopped increasing since yesterday?"
[Reputation Value: Main body 373 (somewhat famous) / avatar (423/1034) (somewhat famous).]
After Ning Shi left, Magis and Malu found an arena. With their abnormal physiques and regenerative ability, the two of them were like stamina monsters that never stopped winning 21 matches in a row.
Every time they won, they would shout the name of the original owner, Ning Shi. On the same day, they earned over 500 reputation points for Ning Shi. It was because of their reputation points that Ning Shi was able to successfully contract the warriors of the extreme wilderness tribe.
"Boss, Malu and I won 37 consecutive matches in the Blood Crime Arena. The boss of the arena, Gru, came to us and said that our consecutive victories had caused his casino to lose a lot of money and forced us to lose to our opponents."
"How could we do something that would damage our boss's reputation? So, we started fighting with them."
"After we broke out of the encirclement yesterday, we waited for Boss near the Redwood Forest. We had nothing to do, so we killed some magical beasts."
Ning Shi's experience points had been increasing for the past few days. Currently, he had accumulated 235,000 experience points. The system did not mention where the experience points came from. Ning Shi had always thought that these experience points were all from Bruce killing monsters.
"The tribe has come to Duohuang. We must have a base. I was still thinking about where to start. Now, there's no need to hesitate. Let's take down the Blood Crime Street first."
There were a total of 118 streets in Duohuang. Apart from a few streets, most of the streets were chaotic.
Although there were forces occupying the streets, these people were not willing to put in the effort to manage the streets.
Blood Crime Street was a typical Duohuang street. Its ruler was the leader of the Blood Crime Mercenary Group, Gru. Gru had a Level 6 bloodline rampage tiger and was a Level 28 bloodline warrior. He was extremely powerful.
Influenced by his bloodline, his style was overbearing and extremely brutal. Under his rule, Blood Crime Street fought endlessly every day. Bloodshed was a common occurrence.
The business of other merchants was greatly affected. Over time, Blood Crime Street became one of the most chaotic and poorest streets in Duohuang. However, Gru didn't care because he operated the Blood Crime Arena. The more people fought, the better the arena business.
The gambling industry, which was derived from the arena, also flourished.
Ning Shi did not know exactly how many people Gru's Blood Crime Mercenary Group had. He did not know which experts they had. Right now, his subordinates were all rough berserkers. There were no scouts that could gather intelligence.
The strongest force in Duohuang was the Griffin Chamber of Commerce, which was backed by the Ole Empire. They had a 100-man Griffin Knight Legion and a 3000-man Wolf Knight Legion.
With this force, the Griffin Chamber of Commerce ruled 10 streets.
The Blood Crime Mercenary Group was a small force. They only ruled one street in Blood Crime Street. Ning Shi deduced that they were probably not that strong.
"Maku Gu! Bring the warriors and follow me! The rest of you, rest on the spot."
With an order, more than 500 berserkers stood behind Ning Shi in unison. Each of them was over 2.5 meters tall and extremely sturdy.
Although many warriors were topless, holding only bone clubs as weapons, and looked extremely poorly equipped, a bloodthirsty aura had already formed.
Being intimidated by this aura, countless birds were startled in Redwood Forest and the cowardly magical beasts fled in all directions.
Just like that, the group of people walked into Duohuang. Wherever they passed, humans and beasts avoided them.
They went straight to the Blood Crime Arena. The Blood Crime Mercenary Group was stationed there. Ning Shi did not hold back and took out the forest longbow that he had not used for a long time.
Bang!
An arrow split the Blood Crime Mercenary Group's signboard in half.
"Who is it! Are you tired of living? How dare you come here to cause trouble!"
Along with this angry shout, a tiger's might was emitted from the mercenary group's base. The wildebeest that Ning Shi was sitting on snorted uneasily. If it was not for Ning Shi's pacification, the wildebeest would have knelt on the spot.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that the berserkers were also affected by the tiger's might, Ning Shi snorted coldly and a wave of dragon's might spread out from his body.
Pop! After being provoked by the dragon's might, the tiger's might burst like a bubble and disappear without a trace.
Gru rode out on a huge tiger, followed by hundreds of well-equipped mercenaries.
The originally aggressive group of people were intimidated by the dragon's might and their movements became stiff.
Gru had a big waist and a full beard. His eyes were a strange red. He looked at Ning Shi and the others with a solemn expression and slowly said.
"Sir, have I ever offended you? Why did you tear down my signboard for no reason?"
Sensing that Ning Shi and the others were not to be trifled with, Gru was not a fool. He knew to be patient. Even though the mercenary group's signboard had been torn down, he did not lose his temper on the spot.
Ning Shi did not answer immediately. Instead, he cast an insight skill.
[Insight Target: Gru. Spiritual power comparison: 16/15. All basic information can be explored.]

As expected of a powerhouse who could rule the streets of Duohuang. His skills and talents were too powerful. When his skills and talents were fully activated, his speed and damage were instantly maxed out.
Although his physique could not compare to Magis who was supported by Ning Shi, he relied on his extremely powerful skills and talents to suppress Magis.
It seemed that Magis and Malu were able to escape yesterday because Gru was wary of Ning Shi behind them, so he deliberately let them go.
Seeing that Ning Shi remained silent, Gru's anger flashed across his face.
"Sir, the Blood Crime Mercenary Group is a member of the Duohuang Chamber of Commerce and is an ally of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce. We don't have a deep grudge against each other. It's better for everyone to sit down and have a chat."
Ning Shi laughed, "The outside world says that Leader Gru is overbearing and cruel. Rumors really kill people. I think Leader Gru is very reasonable."
Ning Shi waved his hand, and Magis and Malu stood out.
Seeing these two people, Gru instantly understood.
"You are Ning Shi, 'Lord of the extreme wilderness' and also the person mentioned in the rumors that had been spreading for the past few days?"
Ning Shi was stunned for a moment. He already had a name so quickly. "Lord of the extreme wilderness" sounded like a villain.
"That's right. I'm here today to ask for an explanation for my men."
"Since the Lord of the extreme wilderness is here, I'm willing to pay compensation." Gru immediately said, "Harry, go and get two boxes of gold coins."
Soon, Harry came out with two boxes of gold coins and placed them in front of Ning Shi. Under Gru's signal, he opened the boxes.
"Lord Ning Shi, here are 20,000 gold coins. See if you're satisfied."
Ning Shi jumped down from the horse and came to the chest full of gold coins. He said with a smile.
"Leader Gru is really flexible. I admire your delaying tactics. Your men should have arrived at the base of Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce by now. I wonder when the reinforcements you are waiting for will come?"
Hearing that Ning Shi had exposed his delaying tactic, Gru knew that a bloody battle was inevitable.
In Duohuang, there was no lack of battles. He was not a person who would sit and wait for death. Although the opponent looked strong, he had to fight first!
Gru's legs clamped together and the huge tiger under his legs instantly activated, flashing in front of Ning Shi.
A bright light shone on Ning Shi's face. It was the blade light from the huge axe!
Ning Shi was about to dodge when he realized that his body was wrapped by the wind and his speed became a little slower.
Gru immediately activated his wind magnetic field talent.
Clang!
At the critical moment, Ning Shi pulled out his sword and blocked the giant axe.
Zi ~ zi ~
Ning Shi turned his sword around and the sword slashed across the giant axe. With a sizzling sound, it slid to the handle of the axe. Seeing that it was about to cut his wrist, Gru had no choice but to retreat.
The giant tiger beneath him reacted too slowly and was cut open by Ning Shi's sword.
With the support of the wind shadow, Gru's speed was extremely fast, and he instantly disappeared in front of Ning Shi's eyes.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The axe was wrapped with wind blades, and it attacked Ning Shi from all directions. Ning Shi dodged in a sorry state but he did not counterattack.
Seeing that he had the upper hand, Gru relaxed a little. He flashed behind Ning Shi and continued to swing the huge axe.
Swoosh!
A blade light flashed and Gru froze in mid-air.
"Do you really think that my speed is not as fast as yours?"
Ning Shi put away his blade and said calmly.
"What a fast blade..."
After saying this, Gru's body and head split into two and fell to the ground, blood splattering all over the ground.
Ning Shi's physique was 8 points higher than Gru's to begin with. In the later stages of his physique, every increase in points was very large. Ning Shi's body had been developing in a balanced manner. Not only was his strength strong, but his speed was also fast.
Ning Shi's speed was already several times faster than Gru's. Even with talent and skills to make up for it, Gru's speed was still not as fast as Ning Shi's.
Under such circumstances, Ning Shi still deliberately showed weakness and seized Gru's weakness to kill him in one strike, giving him no chance to release his fury skill.
Seeing their leader being killed by Ning Shi in one hit, the members of the Blood Crime Mercenary Group, who were already defeated by the berserkers of the extreme wilderness tribe, dropped their weapons and surrendered.
The Blood Crime Mercenary Group was wiped out!
The small goal of taking down a street was achieved!
"Boss, in this battle, 31 members of the Blood Crime Mercenary Group were killed, 11 were seriously injured and 243 were captured. There were also some members of the mercenary group who took advantage of the chaos to escape. The tribal warriors have the gift of regeneration and there were no casualties."
Hearing Maku Gu's report, Ning Shi nodded. "Clean up the scene, burn up all the bodies and distribute the captives to the tribal warriors as subordinates."
"Don't account for the treasures at the mercenary group's base, no one will dare to touch them. Tell the warriors to stay alert. Gru's reinforcements are coming soon."
Ning Shi's words were very effective. Just after Maku Gu set up a bonfire and burned the corpses on the street, the battle legion from the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce finally arrived.
Compared to the random troops of the Blood Crime Mercenary Group, the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce's battle legion was very organised.
They had golden helmets on their heads, wore golden armor and sat on golden-haired three-eyed lions.
Three-eyed lions were intermediate magical beasts that lived in groups. Under the taming of humans, they cooperated very well. 200 lions walked over in neat steps.
The golden light was overbearing and the momentum was majestic.
This legion was the trump card of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce. It was the symbol of the Ryan family of the Brad royal family, the Wild Lion Knights.
Although there were only 200 of them, their momentum was indomitable. They were full of the strength of a king.
The leader was the vice president of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce, Obul. He was in the lead and the three-eyed lion he was sitting on was bigger than the others.
His lion's body was five meters long and its standing height was more than two meters. It was extremely majestic.
Ning Shi was not scared. He stood calmly on the spot, quietly watching Obul flaunt the strength of the Wild Lion Knights.
When Obul arrived at the scene, he saw more than 500 barbarians who were so strong that they did not look like human beings. The Blood Crime Mercenary Group had long been defeated and their bodies were starting to burn in the flames.
He had already started cursing in his heart.
"D*mn it, I brought too few people. If I had known earlier, I would have brought all 1000 knights here. Just 200 knights would definitely not be able to defeat these ferocious barbarians."
There were many lunatics in Duohuang. Many battle maniacs did not care who you were or what your background was. Even if you were from the Brad Chamber of Commerce, the lunatics would still kill you.
Obul did not want to die for no reason.
However, he could not turn around and leave without saying a word.
If he did that, how would the Wild Lion Knights maintain their dignity? When he returned, President Hilker would definitely fly into a rage.
For a moment, Obul froze.
The sun shone on the golden armor, shining brightly. This was Obul's favorite weather in the past. The Wild Lion Knights under the sun were cool and dashing, always causing countless ladies to scream.
But at this moment, they were too conspicuous. Obul felt Ning Shi's gaze.
He asked unwillingly, his voice a little dry.
"I am Obul, the vice president of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce. Who are you? Why did you attack an ally of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce for no reason?"
The golden armor on his entire body was really eye-piercing. This aesthetic was too boorish. Ning Shi could not bear to look at it, so he narrowed his eyes and said.
"I am Ning Shi, the Blood Crime Mercenary Group was hunting down my brothers. I am here to uphold justice. Why, does Vice President Obul have any objections?"
Following Ning Shi's question, the five hundred extreme barbarians held their weapons in their hands and glared fiercely at Obul. Just by standing together, these barbarians gave off an oppressive aura, not to mention that their weapons were covered in blood.
Obul immediately felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He wanted to say something fierce, but in the end, he swallowed it back.
"Duohuang seems to be chaotic, but there is also a hidden balance. If you do this, the Duohuang Chamber of Commerce will not ignore it."
After saying these words, Obul led his men and left.
The scene that happened here was witnessed by the merchants of Blood Crime Street. These merchants knew that the ruler of Blood Crime Street was about to change.
The merchants were neither surprised nor afraid. In Duohuang, it was common for the ruler of the streets to change.
After chasing away the reinforcements from Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce, Ning Shi completely occupied the street. He checked the system notification.
[Level 28 bloodline warrior Gru killed, experience points +10,000.]
Was the system encouraging him to kill people? Right now, an intermediate magical beast only gave 100 experience points, but killing Gru gave him 10,000 experience points.
[Main Storyline Mission 1 completed: Occupy a piece of territory, experience points +100,000. Rewarded a copy of the extreme body forging method.]
[Extreme body forging method: A body forging method that continuously surpasses the limits of the human body. Long-term use can effectively increase the physique. Note: After the physique exceeds 30 points, this body forging method is ineffective.]
The extreme body forging method was useless to Ning Shi, but Ning Shi was about to become the principal. He was worried that he had nothing to teach, but fortunately, the system rewarded him with the body forging method.
The game system seemed to be adapting to Ning Shi's needs.
Looking at the extreme barbarians clumsily counting their belongings, the corner of Ning Shi's mouth twitched. God was fair. By giving the extreme barbarians a strong body, he had appropriately lowered their intelligence.
Their mental strength, which was more than 10 points, was mainly a combination of willpower and resistance. In terms of intelligence, it was really to the extent of catching a chicken.
"Maku Gu, gather the captives in front of me. I'll see if there are any talents."
The barbarians were unreliable in managing the streets. Ning Shi had to find some talents in internal affairs.
Ning Shi tried to select among the captives. These captives were good at fighting and Gru was not interested in managing the streets. Of course, he did not have any talents under him.
After selecting for a long time, he finally found a pair of siblings, Amy and Elon.
[Insight Target: Amy. Spiritual power comparison: 16/19. Basic information can be explored.]
Character: Amy
Physique: 12 (20)
Spiritual Power: 19 (30)
Appearance: 7 (pretty and humble)
Family Background: 6 (Kambia family branch)
Bloodline: Green jade vine (Level 4 / Potential: 9 stars)
Profession: Bloodline warrior Level 18
Skills: Green vine whip Level 5, psychedelic spell Level 4
Talent: Learning (gold)
Achievements: None
This was the first time Ning Shi had met someone with a stronger spiritual power than himself and she even had a gold learning talent.
This pair of siblings should be from the Kambia family branch.
The Kambia family was a Duke family in the southeast part of the Brad Empire. This family had a long history and they were proficient in the evolution and transition of vine-type bloodlines. There were a lot of people in the side branches of the family.
Ning Shi didn't waste any time and directly forced the siblings to sign the servant contract.
"The two of you will be in charge of the management of the internal affairs from now on. Take the extreme barbarians and clear the resources first. When things settle down, recruit a few smart people to help you."
"Roger that, Boss!"
With the addition of Amy and her brother, everything became more organized.
The meeting hall of the mercenary base was cleaned first. Ning Shi was invited to sit at the first seat in the hall. His subordinate even poured a cup of sweet and sour fruit wine for him.
Getting internal affairs talents were necessary. If the extreme barbarians were to continue counting their resources, Ning Shi would probably have to stand outside.
The mercenary base occupied a large area and had many rooms. It was easy to accommodate three to five hundred people.
Ning Shi planned to let some of the warriors and their families stay here. As for the rest, he would give them money and let them earn their own living.
He could take care of the extreme wilderness tribe to a certain extent, but he could not feed them like pigs. The rewards for the warriors also had to be differentiated.
"Boss, the inventory is complete. A total of 112,230 gold coins, 271 intermediate magic cores, 1211 beginner magic cores, 311 sets of various weapons, 321 sets of armor, two boxes of gemstones and jewellery, and a total of 11 real estate deeds, including the Blood Crime Arena and the Blood Crime Casino."
Gru had been ruling Blood Crime Street for two years and had accumulated a lot of wealth.
Ning Shi nodded in satisfaction, he said, "There are more than 3000 people in the extreme wilderness tribe. Each of them will be given 10 gold coins to settle down. The tribal warriors participating in this battle will be given 5 gold coins each. Those who kill will be given an additional 10 gold coins."
"The tribal warriors will be given priority to own the armor and weapons. If they don't fit, find a blacksmith to melt them down and remake them. The standard to equip them with the full set of equipment will be based on Magis. Each tribal warrior will be given a set of equipment."
Money came and went quickly. It cost more than 50,000 gold coins to pay off the settlement fees and the equipment of the tribal warriors.
"Amy, make a public announcement. I want to establish order in Blood Crime Street. From now on, no private fights are allowed in Blood Crime Street. Those who do business here will be protected by the extreme battle group."
"As the price of protection, 5% of the merchant's transaction amount will be turned over to the extreme battle group as tax."
A hint of surprise flashed across Amy's delicate face. She couldn't help but ask, "Boss, no one ever collects taxes in Duohuang. If you do this, all the chambers of commerce will denounce you."
"To the public, we will not call it taxation but refer to it as collecting protection fee."
"The difficulty of collecting taxes is too great. Not only will the chambers of commerce boycott us, but we won't be able to control the transaction amount of the merchants. There's no evidence for the tax collection."
As a civilized citizen, Ning Shi could no longer tolerate the chaos and sin of Duohuang. It had a strategic location but had always been in a state of chaos because of the deliberate misdeeds of the three empires. As a result, it had not truly developed as a city.
Now that he had control of a street, he naturally had to act boldly and decisively.
"Whatever I tell you to do, you just have to carry it out. I will transfer 200 tribal warriors to you to form a guard team. If you encounter anyone who fights or causes trouble on the street, kill them without mercy."
"As for the tax issue, you can calculate the prices of the goods sold on the street. We will issue a market guide price. In Blood Crime Street, the goods must be sold according to the guide price. The fluctuation cannot exceed 20%. We will levy the tax according to the guide price."
It can be done like this? What a genius idea.
Amy was convinced by the market guide price set by Ning Shi. She bowed and left.
When she worked for Gru, the Blood Crime Mercenary Group only knew how to fight and kill. Amy was proficient in psychedelic skills and relied on her brain. She was very weak in direct combat.
The siblings were marginalized in the mercenary group. Not only did they not receive respect, but they also didn't get any benefits.
They hadn't expected that after the mercenary group was defeated by the extreme battle group and they became captives, the two of them would witness a new era.
Amy liked the feeling of being in a high position and planning the development of an entire street. She could decide the fate of the merchants on the street with just a few strokes of her pen.
She and her brother were obsessed with their work.
Soon, notices were drawn up and posted in prominent locations on the street.
