Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Bamboo Forest
The economic system of the Thousand Souls Realm is somewhat strange because of its obvious stratification. In terms of people's livelihood, that is, the most basic aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, consumption is actually quite low, except for some extremely poor places, even if it is the city of Kinunu, the cost of clothing, food, housing and transportation is not high.
The most fundamental reason why those people in Poland Street can't afford to eat is not because of the high cost of living, but because they have no living income.
At the beginning, Tang Dou was in the Niujin tribe, and the five hundred and thirteen bull-headed and big-bellied men, each ration was worth three ordinary humans, and their monthly expenditure on food was only ten gold coins.
In other words, even if it is a top three minotaurs, their daily food cost is only one hundred and ninety-four copper coins.
And even if one hundred and ninety-four copper coins are placed in the Wuyin Continent, where the price is far higher than that of the Barbarian Yuan Continent, under normal circumstances, these money are enough to buy fifty catties of Eminem.
In other words, even in Fog Hidden City, under normal circumstances, one pound of Eminem powder is less than the price of four copper coins. And the cost of Tang Dou's special Eminem is as high as three silver coins, how mad this is.
"Hehe, it's a bit much, but it's not impossible to reduce. If you use white crystal, the cost is naturally very expensive, but what if you get red crystal, or even three-color crystal? In that case, the cost will plummet. And I'm still researching, if I can combine the energy-absorbing rune array into my rune array, wouldn't it be a million profits? Of course, this is a difficult topic to solve! ”
Tang Dou said that the prospects of this project are still very good.
Lin Xiao didn't see it that way: "Red crystal is just that, but that thing is expensive and expensive, are you sure that it will definitely reduce the cost?" As for the tricolor spars, are you dreaming? Even if there is that thing, no one can sell it, are you going to grab it or dig it yourself? As for modifying the rune array, it's not impossible, but in terms of time, I'm afraid that after we study it, the Martha storm will stop! ”
Tang Dou blinked: "Then there is only one way!" ”
"What?" Lin Xiao looked at Tang Dou with a serious face curiously.
"That!" Tang Dou pointed in one direction.
Lin Xiao was stunned and pondered for a long time. Finally understood what Tang Dou meant: "You mean ......"
"Let's go together, dare?" Tang Dou looked at Lin Xiao with a smile.
"Why don't you dare!" Lin Xiao jumped up: "I'll go and prepare!" ”
Lin Xiao happily went to prepare, she didn't realize how dangerous this trip might be, she was just happy that she had found something to do. Now the atmosphere of the whole workshop is positive. Everyone has something to do, even the group of children are running behind the adults, and it is inconvenient for her, a person with a special status, to do anything.
This made Lin Xiao, who has always been diligent, quite uncomfortable, as if he was being queued up outside the workshop.
On the other hand, for exploring the bamboo forest with Tang Dou. She had a little expectation from the bottom of her heart.
"Brother Tang, what are you going to do?" Sha Yunyue came out from the side, she just came to Tang Dou to say another thing, seeing that Tang Dou and Lin Xiao were rarely so harmonious, she never came out, and only came out to ask a few words at this time.
The elf beauty was still a little worried about whether Tang Dou, who had a bad temperament, would play tricks on Lin Xiao again.
"Don't worry, I just didn't want to leave too many hand tails before, so as not to let others follow these to find trouble for Lin Xiao and them. Now it's different, since it's decided to make a lot of ground here, it's time to develop it seriously. This is the first step. Let's unify the interior first! Tang Dou grinned.
After a pause, he looked at Sha Yunyue again: "Aren't you worried that I'm taking advantage of them?" ”
Sha Yunyue glanced at Tang Dou with disgust: "I've never been worried about this. I'm just worried that you're sometimes playing tricks on Lin Xiao too much, and since you've decided not to tease that kid anymore, then I don't have anything to worry about. ”
Tang Dou shrugged his shoulders with a sense of accomplishment: "Sure enough, it's still the old saying, a woman knows her words too well, either kill her or put her to sleep!" ”
The elf beauty suddenly blushed with shame, looking at Tang Dou's eyes with anger, anger and shame, it is estimated that there is someone next to her, if there is no one. At this time, the elf beauty has to make a move.
Tang Dou snorted, and hurriedly couldn't make a claim: "By the way, what are you looking for me?" You should be resting at this time, right? ”
"Old Mr. Heberion is ready to go back to Simiao. I'll tell you, the other poison. Do you want to continue to be compatible? I'm afraid that after the news leaks, it will cause endless trouble! Sha Yunyue said with some concern.
"Hey, don't worry, remember when I asked you and Mr. Highberry to separate the two most important parts of the poison?" Tang Dou smiled: "The key to this kind of thing is here, when the two most important parts are separated, they are not poisonous!" We are open and not afraid of theft. And it is compatible with several semi-finished products with similar functions. Only we know how to match the finished product! ”
Sha Yunyue already knew Tang Dou's plan when he started to mix those super poisons, but he was still a little worried: "If the other party steals all the semi-finished products, won't it be the same to match that kind of poisonous gas?" The power of that poisonous gas is too great, there is no possibility of survival below the gold level, and once it leaks, the danger is too great! ”
"That's what you're going to work on!" Tang Dou became solemn at this time: "I want you to make a new formula on the basis of this poison, on the one hand, to enhance the power, on the other hand, to achieve a new requirement, that is, in different proportions, different compatibility sequences, different combinations to achieve different effects." It's best if you make a mistake and blow yourself up and pull the person who stole us to play with the egg! ”
Sha Yunyue opened her mouth wide, and it took a while to react: "Brother Tang, what are you holding back?" I always felt that if I really researched this thing, you would deliberately let someone else steal it! ”
"Haha, Dongfang, who knows me!" Tang Dou snorted.
Sha Yunyue shook her head and smiled bitterly, but she didn't complain about anything, she knew that she didn't help Tang Dou much in terms of fighting, and she didn't even have as much as Zhu Yuehuo, so in terms of medicine, she would desperately try her best to achieve everything Tang Dou asked for. This was the only place she thought she could help Tang Dou.
"By the way, Brother Tang, if you want to go to the depths of the bamboo forest, let Ah Bao go with you. On the one hand, he is familiar with the bamboo forest, and on the other hand, if there is any danger, he can help you take care of Lin Xiao. Sister Shiitake is taken care of by me and Sister Moonfire! Sha Yunyue remembered something again.
"It's good!" Tang Dou felt justified when he thought about it. Nodding his head, he agreed: "We'll leave tonight, no matter what the outcome is, we'll be back before dawn at the latest." This shouldn't be a problem for a little time. By the way, the one is still in the workshop? ”
Sha Yunyue nodded: "Brother Tang." That one, can we trust? ”
"No, at least not yet. But with that subtle identity, he shouldn't have made a direct attack on us. You can look at that one, if there's any trouble. You're welcome, feel free to use it! Tang Dou rubbed his chin and thought about it before saying.
Sha Yunyue nodded in understanding.
At this time, Lin Xiao had already packed up and came back-in fact, there was nothing to pack, and it wasn't to go far away, let alone for a long time, except for some dry food, there were really not many things to prepare.
The half-elf girl wears a new Blood Alliance knight suit, with a "flickering light" around her waist, and her blonde hair is scattered, with a unique beauty in her heroic spirit, and she is alive and well in a native world version of the flash Asuna.
"I'm ready. When do we depart? What to do now? Lin Xiao looked at Tang Dou, and couldn't help but have a little excitement on his face.
"Now!" Tang Dou deliberately dragged out a long note, and when all Lin Xiao's attention was concentrated, he gasped and smiled: "Go to sleep now, we will set off at night when the moon rises!" ”
"Huh?"
The half-elf girl was tricked by Tang Dou again. This is almost becoming a daily routine for the two of them to get along. No matter how Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and complained, Tang Dou's decision would not change.
There are too many people watching during the day, and he, a platinum powerhouse sitting in the workshop, can't leave casually, and at night, when the moon rises, Tang Dou also deliberately pretends to patrol around the workshop, after making sure that there are no unknown spies around. Only then did he set off with Lin Xiao.
Instead of entering the bamboo forest directly, he entered the bamboo forest through the underground passage where the civilians of the workshop had taken refuge before, which was a passage dug by Tang Dou and Bao before, and it was a place of refuge on the surface. But in fact, an underground passage that has been dug out is very simple to develop new features.
Who made Po, the fat panda, still have the ability to rival the Brufil excavator?
The two of them and a panda entered the bamboo forest through the underground passage unconsciously, and then went deep into the bamboo forest for thousands of meters in the dark, and then lit up the lighting rune.
"Tell me what you know about this bamboo forest!" Tang Dou looked around, sniffing the unique breath in the depths of the bamboo forest, and spoke.
"I've been collecting this stuff since the workshop was established!" This is Lin Xiao. She has an instinctive instinct for some things, maybe she only had a flash of inspiration when she was collecting bamboo forest materials before, but now it has proved how useful her previous flash of inspiration was.
"This bamboo forest, well, formerly known as the hollow forest, is a relatively regular circle, with an area of about 1,800 hectares. The bamboo is inexhaustible, burned, and the more it is cut, the more it grows. But no matter what they say, they won't grow beyond the scope of this bamboo forest itself! ”
"There was once a master in the city who thought that there was an innate treasure in this bamboo forest, and organized people to enter it to find it, but in the end they found nothing, this bamboo forest is not surprising in other aspects except for the strange growth! There are two kinds of demon beasts living in the bamboo forest, namely the silk snake and the iron-toothed rat, and the two are ordinary third-level demon beasts, for soul cultivators below the silver level, as long as they are not in groups, there is no threat at all, and soul cultivators above the silver level, even if these things come in groups, there will not be any danger! ”
Speaking of this, Lin Xiao stopped and shook his head: "Before you, no one had ever studied this bamboo forest carefully, and after several times when the masters in the city organized to explore to no avail, no one cared about it here. Moreover, the land near this bamboo forest is quite barren, and even the most basic planting cannot be done, so before the workshop was established, this was a wasteland! ”
Tang Dou nodded: "Yes, you did good homework in the early stage." So let's analyze the analysis now! ”
As the two spoke, they looked around and walked into the depths of the bamboo forest, a circular area of 1,800 hectares, the distance from the edge to the core would be at least more than 2,300 meters, and now the two of them had just gone deeper into a thousand meters, and there was still a long way to go - in such a dense bamboo forest, without causing too much movement, the distance of a thousand meters was definitely not short.
"First of all, it is absolutely impossible for a normal bamboo forest to achieve the current situation. It does not exceed the growth area, and when it is destroyed, the growth rate is automatically corrected according to the degree of damage. You can also see how much bamboo has been cut since the establishment of the workshop? The first batch of bamboo that was cut down had already grown a large patch, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was a place that had just been cut for less than a month! ”
"I have studied bamboo, these things are amazing, some of these varieties of roots need to grow for more than ten years, or even decades, during this time they will not emerge from the ground at all, as if there is no movement at all, but once the soil is broken, it can grow directly to the point of more than 20 meters high in ten days!"
"There are also some that look like a bamboo forest, but in fact the same bamboo root spreads out. In short, there are many similar magicalities, but no matter how magical, they still need to follow the laws of nature, but now this bamboo forest is obviously not related to the laws of nature! ”
"If something goes wrong, must there be a root? But no one could find the answer before! Lin Xiao looked at the bamboo forest under the illumination of the illuminated rune stone, and felt a little hairy in her heart, and those strange shadows drew one after another forest shadows, making her subconsciously approach Tang Dou.
Tang Dou didn't feel anything in front of him, "Everyone else hasn't figured out that these bamboos can be used as a tool to make a fortune." Hahaha, only a genius like me can discover the real secret! ”
Stinky and shameless boasted, Tang Dou looked at the fat panda who was eating all the way: "Stupid, I asked you to help, not to ask you to eat!" ”
Ah Bao replied with a straight face: "Boss, I'm just helping." The taste of bamboo here is different! (To be continued.) )
