Chapter XXVII
After negotiating the contract and packaging the business of the seven-colored flowers, Tang Xin's mood was very relaxed, the effect of the seven-colored flowers was unique, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the business potential and future value of the seven-colored flowers were rising in a straight line, and Tang Xin was naturally no exception.
But to really do this business, you need a lot of conditions, first of all, someone must be able to develop and deploy finished products, and then find distribution channels, but also according to the actual situation to promote, virtual games have developed to the present, this kind of business in the game is not much different from the reality.
Of course, Tang Xin can also develop it himself, so that he can monopolize the full amount of profits, but it undoubtedly takes a lot of time, and he has to continue to invest in the early stage, and he has to hire NPCs or players to help take care of it, which is really a big project, and if you want to complete the development, you must invest a lot of energy.
Tang Xin is unwilling to waste time on the trivial matters of taking care of the business, so contracting out the business is a good choice, there are many NPCs in the game who are businessmen, they have unique vision, and they have sufficient connections, and they also have a lot of funds, except for the relatively rigid part of the creation of zào force, it can be said that there is not much difference between the managers in reality.
This is also the system for some single players to get a large development project after taking care of, not everyone has the support of the guild behind them, if there is a guild, then everyone has their own duties, there is a special department of players is responsible for the operation of the game industry, but single players obviously can't be so multi-purpose, if you go to run these industries, you will inevitably fall behind in combat strength.
Therefore, the management NPC in the game gives single players the opportunity to get rid of it, you can let them help, distribute shares, and treat it as a partner, or you can see it as hiring a system to help you manage it, and give the game company a management commission, and do it yourself.
However, the NPCs in the game have their own personalities, and they can't be generalized, for example, the halfling businessmen encountered this time are more friendly and loyal, trustworthy, and the benefits are basically distributed according to the rules.
But if you meet a goblin merchant, it will be nerve-wracking, first of all, you have to bargain for a long time, negotiate a contract with him, usually the player will suffer more, if Tang Xin talks to the goblin merchant, it is estimated that sixty-four points are already the best result, and it is impossible to reach eighty-two points.
Moreover, the goblin merchant is treacherous and cunning, and is good at exploiting loopholes in the contract, and often players wonder how the profit is so small in the end, and the business is still good...... This is the goblin merchant who is cheating you, through various intermediary channels, lowering the price to collect rebates, and the gold coins are put into the goblin's pocket, and the profits on the account are distributed to the player.
Players who have just entered the game are affected by previous games, and generally trust NPCs more and do not think that NPCs will deceive people, while Tang Xin knows that NPCs in the simulation world abide by the system's program rules, not morality. Isn't that a joke if you want to talk to an NPC in the chaotic evil camp about what noble virtues are?
Other camps, NPCs of various personalities, just like people in reality, may have done good things and done bad things, they may have good ideas but have done bad things, or they may have evil ideas, but they will keep to themselves all their lives.
You won't meet good guys in the pure sense of the word, and you won't meet bad guys in black and white, just as in reality, most people are in the middle gray area.
"Alright, human, what question did you just ask me?" The halflings happily put away the contract, they are very easy to satisfy, so the 2% share, as long as they have to earn, they will not care.
But maybe when they brag to someone, they will say that they are the owner of the whole business.
"Do you know Karui the Mechanic? And One Piece Hodge, Anna, the proprietress of the Rainbow Tavern, who is also Antarina who followed One Piece back then, I'll take a look, oh, and Kulen Stark and Emperor Eslor. Tang Xin asked, and then it was time to copy notes, and Tang Xin had prepared the notebook early.
"Well, let Justin think about it...... Kalu, Kalu...... Can't remember! The halfling muttered to himself.
"That's 10 gold coins." Tang Xin handed over a small money bag, what the halfling said was traceable, if he expressed that he had never seen this person or had not heard of it, it was really impossible to get news from him, and he could leave directly.
If he says he can't remember anything, or where he's seen it, but it's been too long ago...... It is to imply that you should pay and how much to pay, and he will say as much information as he wants.
Of course, it's also very likely that he just walked into the same restaurant with the target during the meal, and if you give 100 gold, the same information is only eaten together, so experienced players will start with a little less gold, and then judge whether he knows more and whether he needs to increase the price according to the news.
"Oh! Justin remembered that Carew was a generous young man, and that was 10 years ago, and Justin was exploring the wilderness, oh, what a desolate place, and I had been three days away from the nearest village near the wilderness, and there was nothing on the way but endless swamps and dead trees, and disgusting mosquitoes and poisonous snakes......" The hobbit began to recount his long adventures as a young man.
Tang Xin did not record these contents, this is a kind of guidance of the system to the game background, through the mouth of guònpc, the atmosphere of the game background is transmitted to the player, this is the background and introduction of the blank space, there is a large blank space in the simulation world, where it may be a dead swamp, or a barren desert...... There are no monsters, no treasures, and no legends associated with epic heroes...... Indeed, it is the precipice where life struggles on the brink of death, and the grave of death that creates many souls.
However, after the third and fourth expansions open, the empty space will be the protagonist of that phase.
“…… I thought I was going to die, but suddenly a behemoth appeared in front of me, and I was dazzled to see that it was a mechanical creature, but it looked strange, I had never seen it before, some like spiders, some like crabs, but not very much. ”
Justin babbled and finally got to the point, "I never knew of any energy material that could drive such a big guy to walk so far to the wilderness, and then the big guy's belly opened and there was a man inside.
He was dressed in cloth, but with two strange armors strapped to his arms, and then the mechanical creature lowered him to the ground, and he rode on a strange machine with wheels and handles, moving very quickly over the quicksand and swamps, to my side.
And with a retractable mechanical pole with claws, he pulled me up and threw me on the back of the strange guy, this man, this is Karui! ”
"Hmm." Tang Xin worked hard to make notes, striving to record every detail, she is not the kind of person who will never forget Wen Ergongzi, if she doesn't take notes, she will not even be able to figure out who the original mission target is halfway through, because the relationship between high-level mission characters is usually very chaotic, and all kinds of conspiracies and love and hatred are intertwined, which is very complicated.
For example, the engineering master Cullen Stark, who only listened to the tower keeper Adi once, if she didn't take notes, how could she still remember such a tongue-twisting name, and the system would not automatically help you record these prompts.
"It was incredible that Mr. Karui had rescued me and taken me to a village, we had to walk for less than an hour to get there, and it would have been a day's walk! He also gave me some food and a small toy, hehe, that toy is so fun that I can usually use to pass the time. Justin ended his tirade, looking like he couldn't remember anything.
"Where is that village?" Tang Xin asked, and she suddenly realized that it was most likely the place where Karui had lived for a while, so there would definitely be some clues, and maybe there would be a remnant of the diary.
"Oh, xxx, xxxx in the western continent." The halfling reported a coordinate, Tang Xin recorded it, and after listening to the story for so long, this is what Tang Xin really wants to know, "I haven't seen Hodge and Antalina, but I still know a little bit about their deeds, do you want to know?" Wonder? ”
"Oh, forget it...... " Tang Xin didn't plan to listen to some legends and rumors, she had already collected these in her previous life, what she wanted to know was some unknown details, which could often be the key to cracking the mission, "What about Kulenstark and Emperor Asilor?" ”
"Cullen Stark, that's a familiar name...... Oh, isn't that the god-level engineering master of Tallis Academy? Oops, I can't remember again...... I think I've seen him...... "The hobbit seems to have lost his memory again."
"10 gold." Tang Xin handed over the small money bag.
"Oooh! I remember again...... Hehe, Cullen Stark's name at that time was no longer this, but Stephen Leck. The hobbit smashed his mouth and began to speak again.
"Ahh Was it the same Stephen who once built a city of machines that could fly? Tang Xin suddenly, no wonder she felt that the name Cullen Stark was so familiar, it turned out to be Stephen's previous name, this Stephen can be said to be a grandmaster in the eyes of all players who study engineering and NPCs.
"Yes, yes, human, you know a lot!" The halfling nodded yes, then continued, "When I first met him, he was called by that name, tsk...... When I saw him again, he had been propelled to the altar and became the grandmaster of a generation of engineering.
It's a long memory, I had just stepped out of my hometown and embarked on a wandering adventure, you know, we halflings are born wanderers, so I started out out as a thief.
Once I went to a stall to buy some materials for making traps, it was a small town, there were no famous heroes and masters, but it was also thriving, and it was there that I bought some materials for stumbling ropes, hehe...... Guess who sold it to me? ”
The halfling man sold Guanzi, and Tang Xin also had to cooperate: "It shouldn't be Cullen Stark!" ”
"Haha, wrong! Adventurer, you think you're smart, but that guy isn't Cullen Stark, hahaha! The hobbit laughed at Tang Xin, looking very happy.
Tang Xin raised his eyebrows unhappily, but still spoke patiently: "Then may I ask who he is?" ”
"It's Cullen Stark's wife, the great thief Lililou!" Halfling was satisfied with revealing the mystery, "Didn't you expect it, hehe, at that time, Lililou and Cullen fell in love, one of them set up a stall in the town, and the other made zuò in the workshop, and after earning enough money for the trip, they continued to take risks...... Oh, what an enviable love and life...... Justin has been on the road alone for decades, and now I haven't found a woman who can accompany me on my adventures.
I also teamed up with them for a while, and went through the trials of the Bunker Maze and the Allen Fortress, and wow, that adventure was really worth talking about the exciting journey of three days and three nights, and I remember that moment when the sun was setting, the gates of the bunker maze slowly closed behind the three of us, and we returned with a full load, the package full of treasures......"
"Let's move on to Cullen." Tang Xin interrupted the halfling's exaggerated words of boasting about his own gains, buying news from the halfling is not good, these natural braggart kings are very easy to deviate from the building, and from time to time they have to brag about something, and forget what the original problem was when they talked.
"Oh...... Adventurer, you're impatient. Then go on, that's when I can see the ...... between Lililou and Cullen," the halfling continued.
The halfling man talked for a long time mixed with all kinds of gossip, and there were only three useful contents, one was that the wedding of Lililou and Cullen was held in the Elven Forest, and it seemed that they had a very close relationship with the Elven Clan, which was worth paying attention to.
The second is that Cullen and the three princes of the dwarves at that time had adventures together, and perhaps the two also exchanged ideas about engineering and blacksmithing at that time...... and so on.
The third is a research by Cullen, which lasted for more than twenty years, and finally seemed to come to an end, during the research period, Cullen had already become a god, settled in Tallis Academy, and began to build the City of Machines.
