Chapter 191
"Your appetite is so big! Isn't this equal to giving the Light God Palace troops and the city to a pot?" I really didn't see that Al Ni was still ambitious!
"I have to pay such a big price for you to defend the city. You still say that I am a black heart! Dragon Clan helps you to save your life, and you are to defend the city. I have nothing. Aren’t I too bad for this city?"
"I’ll just talk about it, don’t take it seriously!" Al-Ni’s face is not very good, I don’t dare to offend her anymore!
Long King saw that the atmosphere was a little nervous, so he hurriedly came out to make a round. "That's it. We Dragon Clan and Dark Legion unite to defend the city. After the war, we will rush to the city where the Light God Palace belongs."
"I think since we are going to run anyway, why not run for fun? "I thought of a darker way.
"Tell me!" Dragon King is very enthusiastic now. Any plan may determine the life and death of Dragon Clan.
"I have seen the attack of Light God Palace. I am also on the scene of the lost battle. Do you think we can think of something on the way to the other side?"
"What about you What do you mean?"
"The siege method of Light God Palace's troops is quite special. When they attacked the last time, they used a large number of air cavalry to carry teleport mages to penetrate the defense at a high speed, and then arranged Transmission Formation near the city. The troops rushed out. This tactic can greatly shorten the time the troops stay within our artillery coverage area, and relatively reduce the casualties. But if we can inflict heavy damage on the air cavalry carrying the wizard when they penetrate the defense, Let the number of wizards drop significantly, then the time for the troops to appear will become very long, we have more time for artillery warfare! If the attack effect is good enough, they can even force them to give up teleportation and run over."
Aer Ni shook his head and said: "no no no! Don't be like this!"
"Is my method bad?"
"It's not bad, it's not good! Force They switch to walking attack can indeed increase casualties, but the effect is not very good!"
"What's your opinion?"
"Let Light attack with low intensity first. God Palace uses teleportation, but when their troops appear one third, they destroy the telemage system. If they can’t be completely destroyed, at least most of the Transmission Formation will be invalid. Light God Palace’s troops are stuck with one third here, then This is our best time to attack. When the remaining troops rush over, this one third should also lose battle strength, right?"
"Well! Good way!" The Dragon King will now say nodded. It's a good idea!
"By the way, your Royal Highness the Dragon King!" I suddenly remembered that I was lucky to say that the guards of the Dragon King went back to move things, I don't know what it was!
"What's the matter?"
"I heard lucky that you sent someone back to Longdao to move things. I don't know what it is?"
" Oh! That is Dragon Clan's characteristic weapon-the lightning cannon!"
Aer Ni obviously knew this thing, and when he heard the name, he was immediately surprised: "Isn't that the treasure of Dragon Clan? How did you move out?"
Long King shook his head and said: "It's not that one. This time this one is a small one. We made it ourselves. This time is the moment of Dragon Clan's life and death. Can it be taken out for the funeral?"
Although I don't know what the lightning gun is, it sounds like a very difficult to deal with! "His Royal Highness the Dragon King really took the blood, and even the trump card stuff was taken out! Does Goddess mean it?" At this time, it can be a little bit of blackmail!
Aer Ni may think that the things Dragon Clan has taken out are very good, but Dark God Palace, known for its magical artifacts, does not have decent equipment, so it’s very embarrassing, only to see her biting the silver. tooth. "I have good things, but you have to pay for them. I can't do business at a loss!"
The Dragon King doesn't care about anything anyway for Dragon Clan to survive. Before I could speak, he said: "I will come out, how much?"
A and Ni didn't expect Dragon King promised so quickly! "One billion, I have 5 in total, and I sell you at most 4. I always have to keep a sample!"
"Only 4 billion! Frighten me!" Dragon King is anyway Rich and imposing, this "little money" is not at ease at all. "You ask someone to move over! I'll pay you back! You won't believe in Dragon Clan's credibility?"
"Of course I believe! Dragon Clan's financial resources are still very famous!"
p>"Okay, that's all for the forces that can be assembled. Have you clarified the respective tasks? Let's start now?"
"Okay! I'll go back and assemble the troops. !" Al Ni is quite straightforward!
"I'm going to write a book to Light God Palace!" The Dragon King also turned around and ran out.
After leaving the Ju Ling Pagoda, the two parties have left to do their own affairs. Now it is time for me to be busy! Isinger is in urgent need of a large number of cleaners, and the construction of the city also needs manpower. According to the introduction of the Dragon King, I should find dwarves and elementals to help me organize the city. Although Isinger has risen up, he is just plain. A huge ruin! After the elementals have cleaned up the buildings, they should find dwarves to rebuild the city! Wait—dwarves—jewels! "Ah! Your Majesty Dragon King! Don't go! The gems you promised have not been given to me yet!"
I chased out the great hall of the Spirit Gathering Pagoda, but the speed of Dragon Clan is so great, now the Dragon King Even the shadows that have already flown are gone! My gem! What should I do now! Should I pay for the gems and bribe the dwarves?
"Master, what should I do with these things?" Ling walked over and called me.
I turned around and saw Lucky, Plague, and Crystal standing in a row. Ling stood in front of them and waited for my command. "Something? What is it?"
The plague and luck gave a step to both sides to reveal the hill behind them. A red and brilliant stone mountain was piled behind them, a pile nearly three meters high. The ruby is shining bright radiance, my eyes are shining! "Haha! The Dragon King Old Master really did what he said, and he was actually ready!"
I ran down to the gemstone mountain and looked at this pile of gems. I felt like they were about to suffocate. I know what attributes, if I leave some for the brother sisters in the guild, I don’t know what will happen! I picked it up from the inside and almost passed out. "Name: the yearning of the dwarf; level: task item (not tradeable); function: increase the dwarf's favorability for the user!" Completely fainted! I thought I could upgrade the equipment!
Since the gems are in hand, you must quickly find the dwarf tribe. This is not a difficult task. Dwarves’ residences are relatively public. Players will definitely need dwarf craftsmen to build their own cities, and some players who like to support professions are Dwarf Race themselves, so everyone knows dwarves’ residences. The only troublesome thing is Dwarf Race residence. There is no Transmission Formation in the city of craftsmen. You must first go to a nearby city and then walk there!
In my impression, there seems to be a player city called ghost mythical creature, which is closer to the city of craftsmen! That player just took a fancy to the City of Craftsman without Transmission Formation, and a large number of players need to go to the City of Craftsman to find craftsmen, and build the city there to receive the admission fee of grand competition! (There is no entrance fee for the system city)
I directly open the teleportation ring and target the ghost. I was a little dumbfounded when I walked out of the Ghost Mythical Transmission Formation. The density of players around is higher than that of the three major system main cities, and the streets are full of people! As soon as I walked out of the Transmission Formation, I was surrounded by people. I habitually took a step back, putting my hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to shoot.
The guy who was barely carved with profiteer on his face leaned forward with a lewd smile on his face. "Brother, don't be nervous, we have no malice!"
"Then what are you doing around me?" Although the action has not changed, I am basically sure that they are not going to attack me, because almost none of these people It's a warrior. According to reason, the probability of a master robbery is not big, besides, there are still a few books in their hands. I haven't heard of a robbery with a book!
The profiteer is still speaking as a representative: "We are the city construction guide here. You look like a major customer who wants to build a city. We want to see if you need our services!"
"Service?" I took my hand from the hilt of the sword. "What service do you provide?"
"It depends on what service you need!" Profiteer is indeed a profiteer, and he speaks well!
"I need a lot of things, I just don’t know what you can do!"
It may be that I can see that I am indeed a potential customer. This guy said kindly to me: "You really If you want to build a city, come with me! I will take you to the reception room to discuss!"
"Okay! You lead the way!"
profiteer to the small profiteers next to you After explaining a few sentences, he took me to the city. The reception room he said was a shop. Although the city alliance office was written on the door, it was decorated like a teahouse! In addition to us, there are several tables sitting on a pair of players discussing something. At this time I noticed that these people are wearing work clothes from this office. Although their clothes are somewhat different, they are roughly the same. It is estimated that the different appearances are only different levels! I don’t know what level of receptionist I’m talking about, but looking at how he ordered those people to do things outside the teleportation point, his level should not be low!
________________________________________________________
"Please sit down!" Profiteer asked me to sit down, and a young man next to him immediately brought two cups of tea. After taking a sip of tea, profiteer took out a huge book like a big encyclopedia from behind. I just saw that the guys outside seemed to have a copy of it. Could this be their tool? He put the book on the table and turned it in one direction and pushed it in front of me. "This is a catalog. You can refer to this catalog if you want to see what services you need. There are detailed instructions and costs!"
I was surprised to open this catalog without a cover. A few simple categories are written on one page. The classification includes: new city, individual house construction, guild station upgrade, city station upgrade, house renovation, and other craftsman needs, a total of six options. After reading this preliminary catalog, I already know about what they do! This person is a contractor, who specializes in contracting the business of craftsmen!
"I want to build a city!"
"Really? Are you sure?" Profiteer didn't believe it when he heard me.
"What are you doing? You suspect that I can't build it?"
"Uh! No! I'm so excited! Building a city is a big project, I'm so excited for a while! Since you If you are building a city, please come with me to the VIP room on the second floor!"
I picked up the catalog and walked to the second floor with him. The decoration here is much more gorgeous than the first floor. VIPs are really more expensive. ! We sat down in a single room on the second floor, and the waiter quickly delivered drinks, but depending on the color not on the first floor, it is estimated that this is more expensive!
"First introduce myself, I am Yang Kun, the general manager of the customer service department of this company, what do you call it?"
"Purple Moon!"
< p>"Okay, Mr. Purple Moon. Do you need to outsource or hire labor?""Outsourcing? Is there any difference between outsourcing and recruitment?" Terminology will appear in various industries as they work for a long time. Firstly, people in the industry can understand, speaking of which is convenient, and secondly, it is convenient for customers!
"Outsourcing is more worry-free. You can tell me the city’s funding level, location, scale, style, and delivery time. Then you don’t need to worry about it. Just wait for the time to check and accept! If you entrust the recruitment, just More troublesome! All the details must be specified by you personally. I am only responsible for the hiring and distribution of craftsmen."
"It's better to recruit workers! My city is more responsible. It may not be convenient for you to build! "
"Yes, yes! It is better to entrust labor, so that you can build a city more in line with your preferences! Then what is the name of the city you want to build? What is the scale?" Yang Kun took out A formatted form with some basic things already written on it, he took out a pen to fill it out.
"My name is Isinger."
"I...singer...ger! Hmm! A good name!" He listened to it and remembered it. "What about the size of the city?"
"Are you talking about area?"
"En!"
"Are you talking about construction area or practical area? Isinger has Underground City!" The area of the city stratified is not good!
"I need the building area, but if you need the Underground City, you need the detailed area of each layer!"
"Wait a minute, I will count!" Yang Kun nodded, Then waited for me to report the numbers with my pen. I calculated it for a while and said: "The city is divided into a sixth layer, and the underground part is an inverted model of the above-ground part. The ground level is 100 square kilometers, the second layer is 841 square kilometers, the first layer is 7,569 square kilometers, and the sixth layer is 17,020 square kilometers in total!" With a bang, Yang Kun overturned the bench. I quickly stood up: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay! It's okay!" Yang Kun crawled out from under the table. "Aren't you kidding me? How do you defend such a big city? The largest guild now has no more than a million people, and you won’t find it in your city!"
" Defense is my business, you just need to build it for me!"
"Okay! Is the customer God!" This Yang Kun is a profiteer, so he can build the wind and make the rudder! After quickly filling in the area, Yang Kun continued: "How to arrange the city wall? How high? What materials? Do you need to dig a moat?"
"The city wall has been completely completed, it's not a problem. There are several city gates. The moat is no longer needed. The city is too big, and the construction of the moat is a bit too big!" Actually, I am afraid of his lion's big mouth! You want to! The city wall of Isinger is so long, and digging a moat is no different from digging the Grand Canal. The project cost must be sky-high!
"That’s right, if you really want me to help you dig a canal-like moat, I really can’t do it! You know, we middlemen don’t get much, those NPCs set by the system The asking price for dwarves is very high! By the way, speaking of dwarves, I would like to ask whether you want to hire dwarves or humans or elf craftsmen?"
"Does it make a difference?"
< p>"Of course! There are more human craftsmen, average efficiency, and so-so skills, but the wages are cheap. If you don’t have any special requirements for the city, asking human craftsmen is a more common and cost-saving method. The artistry of the elves Better, the city they build will be very elegant and beautiful, with a romantic style, of course, the price is more expensive than humans! If you need to build a financial center or a cultural center, it is best to choose wizard craftsmen, they can let you The city becomes a palace of art. As for the dwarves, it’s more troublesome! The dwarves have a weird character, they don’t take all jobs, and they charge exaggerated prices. The most important thing is that dwarves don’t have any aesthetics, although their works are usually more Rugged and ingenious in design, but the appearance is all square-shaped. Of course, if you have a special hobby who likes to make your city like a fortress, the aesthetics of the dwarves will definitely be your appetite. But My customers usually ask some humans to be responsible for the construction of the infrastructure, and then ask the elves to deal with the structure and style issues. This can coordinate the cost of the city with the aesthetics!"It looks like Yang Kun still had plans to continue speaking, and I stopped him. "I hope to hire a large number of dwarves and a small number of elves. The number of elven craftsmen should not exceed 3,000, and the rest should be dwarves. What I built is a seaside fortress. It doesn't matter whether it is beautiful or not, solidity is the first!"
"But...!"
"It's nothing but, I pay you to find someone, it's that simple!"
After a little thought, it seems that a decision has been made. Yang Kun looked up and said: "Okay! I will contact the dwarf craftsman, but I declare in advance that I will not be responsible if they don't come!"
"I will go with you, and I promise they will come! "
"Okay! The craftsman has solved it, what should I do if there are materials?"
"Materials?"
"Yes, it is building materials, mainly It is stone and wood. Other things like ceramics, jade stone, various metals, crystals, etc. are also used a lot! Have you prepared in advance? Most of my customers have stocked a lot of materials in advance. Just buy a small amount!"
"I don’t know, the city is planned to be built in a hurry and I haven’t prepared so many things. Can you buy cheap materials?"
"This I’m afraid it’s more troublesome! The materials in the system store are scary. If you buy them there, the cost of the materials can bankrupt a medium-sized company! But players usually don’t have too many materials in their hands, and large-scale acquisitions may be very costly. Time, and the scale of your city seems a bit exaggerated. Even if the most expensive city wall has been built, the remaining materials still need more than 100 times that of other cities. Such a large number of acquisitions must be very troublesome, and Not cost-effective! The final thing is that building materials cannot be put into the storage space. Other than those with craftsman skills can carry a little bit, other players can’t transport these things. We buy so many things at once, even if we collect all of them, the transportation fee is It will kill people too! So I suggest that you entrust us to help you hire some carpenters and stonemasons, and we mine the raw materials nearby. The greater the demand, the lower the cost of asking someone to mine, and the nearby mining can save more than astronomical figures. Transportation costs!"
________________________________________________________________
"This is a good idea. There is a forest next to Isengard. There is as much wood and stone as easy to find. I have a friend who understands it. She went to see these and said that there is a lot of crystalline rock buried in the ground where we are. The entire city wall of Isengard is carved out of a single piece of crystalline rock! "Boom, Yang Kun fell under the table again. "Hey! What's the matter with you?"
"It's all right!" Yang Kun got up from the ground again. "Are you sure your friend is talking about crystalline rock?"
"Yes! What are you doing?"
Yang Kun took out a gray object from his arms and brought it in front of me. "Is that so?"
"Yes, it's this thing. You don't know, this thing is deadly hard or dead! But what are you doing with a rock?"
Yang Kun did not answer me directly, but took out many strange stones from his arms. "This is a sample. Customers should always show them when they choose a stone?"
"What is this?" I picked up a red stone. It is opaque, but the gloss is good.
"Oh! This is Star Rock. This thing has a very good magic resistance attribute. Except for magic silver in the building materials, it has the highest magic defense! Your Isengard’s city wall is a crystallization It is made of rock and has a high physical defense. As for magic defense, it is not good! But it is too expensive to use magic silver to make a magic reflection layer outside the city wall. How about outside the wall?"
"No, I have my own way of magic defense." The two scrolls I took out last time from Gate of Truth are still with me! Isinger’s city wall has already crystallized, so the crystallization scroll is useless, but the magic resistance scroll is very useful. As long as it is used on Isinger’s city wall, you can get a city wall with magic resistance. NS!
Yang Kun put away everything on the table, and then said: "Okay, that's all for the registration content, so let's talk about the price now. Because you chose the entrusted recruitment method, Therefore, you are responsible for the specific costs. Our company only charges you 500 crystal coins. Also, according to the rules, when purchasing materials and hiring NPC craftsmen, I use the bargaining skills to help you save costs, and you need to draw from it. 5% is my rebate!"
The processing fee for 500 crystal coins is a bit expensive, but it is acceptable. It is understandable to help counter-offer and get a rebate. The more he saves me, the more he earns himself! "Okay, the deal!"
The system contract is very simple. Yang Kun directly opened the contract to me and applied for signature. I directly confirmed it, and then the contract became effective. After the contract took effect, the money on my body was automatically deducted, but this is better than the money did not come into their hands immediately. It is only temporarily kept by the system. The other party can get the money when the contract ends. If the contract is not completed, the money will still be available. Returned to me.
After I confirmed the contract, Yang Kun immediately smiled and said: "Should I take you to the City of Craftsmen to find a craftsman?"
"En!" I followed Yang Kun to leave The ghost mythical creature marched towards the nearby city of craftsmen.
It’s boring on the road. I also started looking for Yang Kun. "It’s 3 o’clock in the morning! Are you still working? Don’t you usually sleep?"
"I am Specially in charge of night shifts! The game industry is different from general work. Networms like to climb up in the middle of the night. We can’t do anything if we want to increase business!"
"I felt like people here when I arrived at the ghosts. A lot, didn’t they all come to the artisans?"
Yang Kun shook his head and said: "Not all, there are many people here for a reason. The City of Artisans is indeed one of the reasons, and there is another reason. There is a huge mine nearby, and many players who practice skills come here to mine. In addition to burning skills, they can also make some extra money for rehearsal level fees!" He stopped suddenly and said: "Here!"
"Where is it?" I didn't see the shadow of the city at all.
"There!" Following Yang Kun's fingers, I saw the entrance of a cave.
I look at him. "You mean that cave?"
He also looked at me curiously. "You don't know?"
"What do you know?"
"The city of craftsmen is a semi-underground city. The elves live on the outskirts of the city, and the humans live in the center of the city. , And the dwarves are underground. The above ground is actually the residential area of humans and elves. The real main body of the city of craftsmen is still underground. To put it bluntly, the city of craftsmen is a network of dwarves’ mines!"
"I'm dizzy, I thought the City of Craftsmen is a city!"
"It is indeed a city, but it is underground, and the terrain is a bit more complicated! Come, let's go in! Follow I, it’s easy to get lost in the tunnels here!"
I’ve heard that the roads of the City of Craftsmen are very complicated. At that time, it was strange that the roads of the city were complicated. It turned out that this City of Craftsmen It turned out to be a huge city composed of underground mine tunnels. No wonder it was so complicated.
Following Yang Kun into the mine, you can see the dwarves. These short guys are digging for ore in the mine, and there are some humans nearby. Although there are a lot of people, the mines are very spacious, so they dig theirs and it has no impact on traffic.
Although there are many fork roads in the mine, they are not very long. We quickly entered the city. This city from mining to transformation is really huge and magnificent! The surrounding buildings are obviously the masterpieces of dwarves, and each of them looks as solemn as a court. There are no soft curves in all the buildings, only hard edges and corners! However, the aesthetics of the dwarves is very to my appetite, I like this solemn structure, I always think that the soft design is only suitable for the bedroom!
When I entered the city, I felt that there were a lot more dwarves, and many elves shuttled here. Most elves are players, while dwarves are basically NPCs. Few players are willing to make themselves so tall! In contrast, elves with tall statures and soft faces are more popular, especially small MMs. Almost 1/4/2021 of female players are Elf Race. Can you imagine the girl’s love for elves?
I was thinking about seeing a fierce elf appearing in front of me, and on her head there was a demon that absolutely not suitable for elf—the devil! Although it is a little devil, it is really weird to be carried by an elf!
"Are you looking for a craftsman?" The female elf said to us first.
"Well! What do you make? Are you a carpenter?"
"No!"
"Then you built a house?" girl When a miner is unlikely, there is still a certain probability of housing construction.
She still shook the head: "It's not my responsibility to build a house, I just dismantle it!"
"Dismantle?" Yang Kun and I were stunned at the same time. Among the craftsmen was responsible for it. Did you demolish the house?
"I’m an expert in blasting. I can mine, mine, and demolish illegal buildings. Just ask me. Do you have any work to take care of me? I’ve been fine for a few days, so I can buy medicine for leveling up. Not enough!"
Blasting expert? There is actually this kind of profession! But the other way around, it’s not surprising. Fire Yao and cannons have all come out. There is no reason why you can’t have a career in blasting! But aren’t elves a hobby peaceful and natural race? There was an elf with a little devil who specializes in blasting, and she was still a big beauty!
"Hello, my name is Purple Moon. We really need someone like you, and the workload is relatively large. I wonder if you have a counterpart?"
"Do you want it?"
" Very good!" There was a smile on her face immediately. "But I’m a hidden professional. I’m the only one who has blasting skills! But don’t worry, I like blasting the most. No matter how many things are removed, I can’t get it wrong! Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Crystal chocolate."
This violent woman actually has such a cute name. I think she should be called *zhi (the main component of liquid zha medicine, which is extremely unstable and has a huge explosive formidable power) more appropriate! "How do you calculate your wages?" Bargaining skills are not needed when discussing prices with players, so I didn't ask Yang Kun to come forward and ask the price myself!
"You have to tell me how long you hire me and what work you do before I can decide how to charge!" Although she looks very carefree, she is actually very shrewd!
"My city needs to be rebuilt. There are many buildings in the city that need to be cleared. Many houses are only half of them standing. I need you to blow them all down so that I can build new ones! Also, I plan to collect stones by myself, and I need you to help me explode the mountains and rocks! The specific working hours are not necessarily, but my city is very big, you can't finish it in three or five days!"
" That’s a long-time job. How about I charge you 100 crystal coins a day?"
"100 crystal coins?"
I thought about it a little, and Crystal Chocolate immediately said, "If it doesn’t work. 90 crystal coins a day is ok!"
100 crystal coins a day is indeed a high salary, but she is the only one blasting expert, so there is not much to take so much, if she does not have her, I will find a miner. Spend more money, she may not be faster! "Do you have a guild?" This rare profession should be wooed, and she is still engaged in zha medicine, and the siege will be coming soon. It would be good to be able to bring her to help me bury some mines outside the city!
"You want to admit me to the club?" She was obviously surprised.
"Would you like it?"
"I...!" She hesitated, and it's okay to ask me to join the club, with conditions.
"Say!" I am also a rich man now, and I am talking loudly!
"First, I want you to send me a piece of land over 100 square meters in the city, and I want to build my own laboratory!"
"No problem! I will give you 1000 An underground test field of square meters!" I am worried that Isinger's land is too big!
"Really!" She didn't expect me to be so generous. Yang Kun didn't care at all on the side. He knew the area of Isengard, so the land could not be used at all!
"What else do you want to say?"
"I don't need to charge for this work, but you have to cover my leveling fees in the future!"
"Okay!" Leveling up by yourself, even if you rely solely on medicine, it doesn't cost much! As for equipment, what I have more is that I don’t have to spend any money!
Although I planned well, but unfortunately, my wishful thinking made a mistake this time! I don't understand the crystal chocolate leveling method too much, I thought it was enough to provide enough medicine money. In fact, the medicine she used for leveling was much more expensive than I thought! What she wants is not red medicine but...
