Chapter 651 The Alluring Benefits of the Fiery Sun Legion

Currently, the Sun Legion offers three types of mercenaries: "Martians," "Fungal Clones," and "Metal Dragon Beasts."

Among them, the Martians spawned by spores are the cheapest. The standard equipment can be selected between the mitochondrial gun and the restraint gun. There is currently no option to unlock the "small flying saucer" that comes with them. Each Martian has a mimicry instinct and can disguise and transform in a relatively realistic way. Although theoretically they will lose their mimicry when startled, if used properly, they can be very useful at some key plot points.

The median quality of bacterial clones can be customized or follow a standard template based on a puppet army. The final strength depends entirely on the type of materials provided by the employer.

Incidentally, submitting some rare genetic materials to the legion will also accelerate the progress of reputation improvement. The genetic collection in the laboratory will also change from being solely Cheng Tian's responsibility to everyone working together. The efficiency of the collection's growth will inevitably increase dramatically, and Cheng Tian's problem will become how to select the necessary genetic materials within the limited collection slots.

The metal dragon beasts that were originally meant to guard the laboratory are generally the most expensive, and they also have limitations on quantity and rank. At least for now, it seems that Utan has no intention of creating more.

When Utan learned from Cheng Tian that the world they were going to had more and more diverse Elder Dragon units than those in "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs + Adventure Island," and that these units could be called "natural disasters," Utan's heart soared. He estimated that the future Metal Dragon Beast template would also undergo a major change.

These soldiers hired from the Sun Legion do not occupy servant slots, their kill counts are directly linked to their employers, and they can even cover the retreat and die for their employers when necessary without paying additional fines. In such a perilous environment, the help such a mercenary can provide to a player's survival is self-evident.

Although it's only the lowest level of private benefits, it has already made some people waver in their wait-and-see attitude. It is estimated that they are waiting for the main mission to end and then deciding whether to join based on the survival rate of those players with the title of private.

As for the group of players, including Smart Head, who were practically a startup team, they could be awarded the title of "Sun Legion Sergeant" with an excellent green rank.

While enjoying all the benefits of a private, a non-commissioned officer is eligible to officially hire metal dragon beasts, and the most prestigious and adaptable of them, the smartest officer, can even hire a "velociraptor warrior" with his own name.

However, compared to that, the most crucial benefit of the sergeant status is the "combat squad" function granted by the combination of space and faction.

In short, members of the Blazing Sun Legion who have reached the rank of sergeant can select and lead a "combat squad" within the legion, which is similar to a team contract. They need to apply and submit their personnel composition 24 hours before the countdown to the main quest. The current maximum number of people that a combat squad can hold is 3.

To put it simply, it's a basic team contract with no added benefits.

To some extent, the attribute bonuses added to the team contract item are actually secondary. Its greatest significance lies in its ability to bind players who might otherwise be scattered in different dungeons together through team formation.

Rather than relying on random team-ups and hoping for lucky, having a relatively fixed and familiar team is clearly more beneficial for one's safety.

The Fiery Sun Legion provided just such an opportunity.

To be honest, if Smart Head and his team were to promote this "combat squad" as their main selling point, even just for that reason alone, they would probably attract a considerable number of players. After all, team contracts are far from being commonplace these days, and most players have a strong desire for reliable teammates.

Oh, compared to the likes of Clever Leader, Eileen, who has an independent team contract with Cheng Tian, ​​enjoys a significantly higher reputation within the legion—

She is a purple-rarity "General of the Blazing Sun Legion". Among the players in the legion, her status is second only to Cheng. Except for some departments that involve Utan and Gengo's territories, Eileen can do whatever she wants in the relatively small legion.

As for Cheng, he undoubtedly holds the prestigious title of "Commander-in-Chief of the Blazing Sun Legion."

People can also affectionately call him Orange General!
Incidentally, non-player NPCs such as Bazett, Utan, Root of Mars, and even the War Elephant Mammoth all have exclusive titles within the legion, and they are all purple rare-level titles.

Nepotism is a problem.
In addition, the goddess of the red moon, Fina, and the goddess of the blue moon, Leia, also joined as military mascots.

As a result, the banner of the Fiery Sun Legion now features two encircling moons.

But then again, what about the commander-in-chief? Even the commander-in-chief has to go to the toilet himself!

Therefore, it's impossible to escape this main quest, although Cheng Tian never even considered escaping it.

The discussion surrounding the creation of the Black and White Twin Towers was even greater than that surrounding the original creation of the Black and White Twin Towers. The Sun Legion was discussed by the player community for almost a month. It was only during this 24-hour countdown that a few players with the rank of Sergeant couldn't help but reveal the Legion's benefits.

Although everyone understands the principle of not flaunting wealth, it can be really satisfying to show off occasionally. Moreover, since the Blazing Sun Legion is open to all players, their behavior is more of an advertisement than a display of wealth.

The combat squad mechanics undoubtedly sparked another wave of discussion, and a small group of people, after hearing about and confirming it, immediately rushed to the mission center, wanting to time their actions to complete a faction trial mission.

Currently, only non-commissioned officers can lead teams, but it's not just the non-commissioned officer legion that can be selected for squads. Anyone who is a member of the Blazing Sun Legion, even the lowest-ranking private, can join a combat squad.

Even if they don't have a team to form this time, it doesn't matter; they will still focus on the future.

The earlier you join the Sun Legion, the faster your reputation will increase. Compared to team contract items that you might not even know where to buy even if you have the money, this team mechanism, which clearly provides a progress bar and guarantees you will get it once you reach a certain level, obviously makes many players feel more hopeful.

But as some are lured away, others become even more vigilant.

After seeing such benefits, some people became even more wary of the blatantly obvious "Great Expedition" mission.

In short, amidst the various thoughts of countless players, the guiding light of the main story dungeon arrived as scheduled.
