Chapter 42: The Popularity of the Edgeworth Flying Sword
"Are you?" Although Lao Bai is a resident of the hive, he doesn't know much about Zhang Tong, the hive Internet celebrity who has been in the limelight recently. Because Lao Bai has his own mess to take care of, there is so much time to see Zhang Tong.
"Oh, my name is Zhang Tong, and I currently run a small restaurant in the hive. I came here to do some small business with Mr. Bai. Zhang Tong bluntly stated the purpose of his visit.
"I'm a courier. Dongfeng Express, the mission must be achieved. Lao Bai pointed to the express sign on his clothes. However, when he heard that Zhang Tong was here to do business with him, Lao Bai let Zhang Tong go to the house.
Lao Bai's wife nodded when she saw an unknown guest coming to the house, and then carried the child back to the room.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, my name is Bai Bailai. Lao Bai's self-introduction is very simple, and he speaks straightforwardly: "What kind of business are you looking for me?"
For making money, he never refuses to do so. Because I have to support my wife and children, although I don't have to worry about the house now. But there's always nothing wrong with making more money.
Lao Bai's child is just turning old now, and there is no old man at home who can help with the child. Therefore, the wife has to quit her job and stay at home all day to take care of the children, at least to go to elementary school to breathe a sigh of relief. Although it is not that you can't hire a nanny, there are now endless cases of child abuse by nannies in the news. No one dares to be careless, after all, the child is his own.
And raising a child is also a big expense, a can of good milk powder costs hundreds of yuan, and it is too easy to spend a thousand yuan a month on complementary food for a full-aged child with milk powder, plus diapers and some baby products. And you can't get sick, and getting sick at this age is a big deal.
And when the child grows up, he still has to go to school, which is also an expense. Lao Bai has to plan for the future.
Although he now contracts the entire Dongfeng Express express delivery business in the hive, after all, the population is small and the money he makes is not particularly large. Although it is said that the hive will expand its population in the future, the future is the future, and who can say for sure in the future.
Now as long as Lao Bai can make money, then he has to earn it.
"Boss Zhang, I don't know what business you want to do when you find me? Monthly and annual subscriptions can be discussed. "The day after returning from the Xiuzhen world, there is no stinking temper of some so-called immortals who have returned from Xiuzhen, he is a very philistine person.
"In this way, I heard that Mr. Bai's ability to fly is particularly good. "Zhang Tong has seen that the ability to fly in the daytime is indeed very good. And after getting to know some people in the Immortal Cultivator United Association, he realized that the flying ability of the Edgeworth that came during the day was actually better and stronger than what he had seen.
"Well, yes. There was no modesty during the day: "The other world I went to is a world of cultivating immortals. However, my brain is relatively dead, and I am not very good at any method of cultivating immortals. The only thing I can learn well is Edgeworth. So all I can do in the Shuzhen world is learn Edgeworth. All abilities and abilities depend on Edgeworth. I don't know anything but Edgeworth. ”
"It's still very dangerous in the world of cultivating immortals. The people there fought to the death, and killing people and looting treasures was like child's play. As long as there is anything that is favored by the strong, then it must be handed over obediently with both hands, whether it is a treasure or a wife and daughter. He paused for a while during the day, and then smiled seemingly unconcernedly: "So it's better to come back." At least there are rules in this world. ”
"yes. Zhang Tong nodded in agreement with what he said during the day.
"Therefore, in order to protect myself in the other world, I can only continue to cultivate the skills of the sword. It's not that I'm bragging, among all the returnees who have returned from the world of cultivating immortals, in terms of the art of the sword alone, if I am second, no one will dare to admit the first. "I have always seemed to be very honest during the day, when I said this, there was a momentum of indomitable and looking at the world. That's a recognition of one's own strength, and that's a kind of self-confidence in the heart.
And what he said was the same as the news that Zhang Tong inquired about from other immortal cultivators who had returned to their hometowns. During the day, it's lv4 level, and there's only one ability, and that's Edgeworth. He didn't know any other spells, and he was bent on filling the skill tree of Edgeworth.
If this guy goes to be a combatant, his combat effectiveness is also very terrifying. He himself flies at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour in the city, because it is dangerous to fly faster than this speed in the city. It's not that he hit the wall or anything by himself, but he weighs more than a hundred kilograms along with the flying sword. If he flies a little faster, for example, at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, the air wave will be enough to shatter all the glass of ordinary residential houses. Billboards hanging high in the sky in the city will also be blown down.
Needless to say, if he were flying at Mach 1, the sonic boom would be enough to be a weapon of mass destruction.
According to official records, it can cruise at speeds of up to Mach 1.2 per hour during the day, and can even attack in this state. This is a humanoid fifth-generation fighter!
And he can attack faster with a flying sword, because he doesn't have to think about whether his body can handle it or not. He can urge the flying sword to soar directly to the speed of Mach 3. A thirty-five-kilogram flying sword was accelerated to Mach 3, and he could easily gouge through an aircraft carrier.
It's just that after coming back, the ability to come during the day has been weakened a lot, and now the flying sword attacks can only be used for attacks within visual range. The way of fighting that takes people's heads from thousands of miles away won't work. But then again, he wasn't very good at ultra-long-range combat when he was in the Otherworld. Because he's not very good at these spells.
"But I'm a bit of a non-compatible. I just want to live a good life with a wife and children, so I don't want to be a fighter or anything. "People who have family concerns are sometimes more trustworthy. During the day, he seems to be very doting on his wife and children.
Because of this, although Jiang Hua and the others on the Hive side are seriously concerned about coming during the day, they are only concerned. He has been back for more than five years, and his integrity and ethics are still trustworthy. During the day, he is a person who hates breaking the rules. He abides by the rules, so he hates the ones who break the rules the most. As for what had happened to him during the day, no one but himself would know.
"That's why I value your abilities, your ability to fly. The hot pot restaurant I want to open is not enough to rely on the residents of the hive. This hot pot restaurant will become a bridge between the hive and the outside world. And for the citizens of Huaihai to come here from Huaihai, I needed a tool that was fast, safe, and fun. Zhang Tong's words are very clear.
"You want me to fly and carry passengers?"
"Yes. I wanted to design a flying sword that was large enough to fit twenty or even forty customers at a time. Departing from Huaihai City, it takes 15 minutes to arrive at the hive. Four hundred kilometers per hour should be enough. But be safe and let customers have a special experience, exciting but not dangerous. Can you do it? If I can, I'd like to work with you. Ten dollars for one customer, free for children. That's the price I gave you, what do you think?"
"Hmm......" thought during the day.
"The time is basically fixed, and it does not affect your other time to deliver the express. After all, picking up and dropping off customers is just the peak meal at noon and afternoon. Zhang Tong continued to tempt.
During the day, come and stand up and pac back and forth to think. He's calculating how much more money he can make in such a month. Finally, he nodded: "Yes, I will take this job." However, it is very troublesome to make the Great Flying Sword, and it needs to be produced by the Immortal Cultivators Association together. And now there are no spirit stones on the earth to provide energy......"
"We use electricity. Zhang Tong smiled: "Rechargeable flying sword." ”
"Uh...... You can also. Anyway, you don't have to fight, the route of the daily path is also fixed, the time is also fixed, don't worry about accidents or anything, it doesn't matter if you charge it. Bai Bailai nodded: "Then add some protective magic circles to the flying sword." ”
"I don't think it's enough to just put a circle, it's better to add guardrails. Zhang Tong put forward his own suggestions.
"Ha?!Why?" Lai looked at Zhang Tong incredulously during the day.
"To rub off on the heat. Zhang Tong said bluntly: "I recently have a very popular one called "Xiuxian Chat Group". The author probably made a lot of money, and the manuscript fee can buy a few suites in Huaihai. It's quite influential. The protagonist in it, the flying sword, is equipped with a guardrail. We just had a wave of heat. ”
"Is it necessary?"
"It's so necessary. After all, you can turn fantasy into reality. Many people may come to take a trip to ride the same flying sword as the protagonist. Of course, it is best for us to get the author's authorization to engage in a wave of copyright. Then advertise directly and become the protagonist of the same paragraph. It can even be put up with promotional slogans and the like. In that way, we can perfectly achieve the commercial operation of the heat. ”
"In these days, everyone has to find a way to make more money by taking advantage of the heat. This is true for doing business, and this is true for making TV series. It's like some movies that are completely unrelated can also be called "XX2" with the name of the previous work. Zhang Tong patted Bai Lai on the shoulder: "Okay, then it's decided." I'm going to get the municipalities right now and get them to allow us to open a flight path. ”
