In the game "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", common game fun points, such as martial arts, PK, tasks, etc., only occupy a small part. Even, players who have downloaded this game but don't like to fight and kill can still have a lot of fun.

The reason for this is the existence of a system of deputy jobs.

With the side class system, you can do a lot of things and even be a professional side class player and earn money in the game to support yourself.

As an ordinary player who aspires to the development of the sub-class, at the beginning, he still has to fight monsters or do some tasks, and accumulate some gold coins to learn the skills of the sub-class. Of course, this process can also be solved by topping-up, the first charge of 6 yuan, a gift of two designated deputy positions, such as mining and forging, peeling and skinning, can save a lot of time.

Once you've learned one or two elementary skills, it's time to start working on proficiency. In the beginner skill stage, the player can only be an 'apprentice' next to the 'master', that is, the NPC who imparts the skill, for example, if the skill is blacksmithing, you need to rent an anvil and a furnace at the blacksmith shop to level up.

At this stage, the player's freedom is limited, and they also have to pay a rental fee that is higher than the meager income brought by the beginner skills. Therefore, in the stage of the junior deputy position, players cannot make money, or even lose money, and many players who plan to play the deputy job are persuaded to retire at this stage.

If a game wants to continue, it can't always be a pit. When the hard-pressed players get through the beginner stage and reach the intermediate level, the situation is a little more optimistic.

As an intermediate side player, you can choose a market in the main city in the game and open your own shop. For example, a player majoring in blacksmithing chooses Chang'an West City to open his own blacksmith shop. He can come to Chang'an West City, find the West City Order, pay a hundred 'ingots' store purchase fee, and then get a store of his own.

The game uses state-of-the-art Unreal X Engine mirroring technology, and when other players see the item that the forge player 'listed' for sale, they only need to click on the item to enter a separate mirror, which is the shop where the forge player bought it.

The shop is divided into two courtyards, the front yard is a place to buy and sell goods, and the back yard is a separate studio.

At this stage, if the player is diligent, he will be able to earn a little money.

However, the way to make money like this forging player is actually the stupidest way. Because if he can learn the patterns, everyone else can learn them. What he can make, everyone else can make. This leads to the consistency of goods, without any difference, and eventually becomes a comparison of raw materials, whose raw materials are cheaper, whose price is cheaper, and whose things sell more.

There are two problems with this, one is that it is impossible for an individual player to fight the studio and the gang. Second, in this way of small profits and quick turnover, the profit will eventually be low enough to cost enough time, so this is not a long-term solution.

So, how can you make money quickly and stably?

This is where it comes to going further.

After the intermediate level, there are two branches.

The first branch, join a studio or gang and become a part of it. It's like finding a job in reality, and people seeking stability will consider it. The other branch is the one that will only be chosen if you have a certain courage, that is, to acquire the best drawings and do business that only you can do.

In "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", there is a very interesting setting. i.e., koi setting. In the game, every gamer, everything they do, such as fighting monsters, leveling up, trading, etc., will immediately generate an independent 'symbol'. A gamer, in a week's game, may spawn an infinite number of such 'symbols'. The koi system will immediately draw a 'talisman', so that the gamer who has this 'talisman' can get a relatively precious reward.

Players who like to fight monsters may fight monsters and explode a piece of superb equipment. Players who like to do quests may trigger a special quest, while players who like subclasses may have the possibility of obtaining rare blueprints. Even if you have a burst of character and buy materials in the system store, you may buy them, completely randomly.

This kind of drawing has a certain preciousness and irreplaceability. Its preciousness and irreplaceability are directly proportional to its rarity. The more precious, the more irreplaceable, the fewer drawings and vice versa.

This kind of data balancing work was completed by the data balancing team led by Li Mu.

Usually, when rare drawings are obtained, players learn them on their own. But there are also some who can't do it themselves because the drawings require too many materials, or they want to make a quick buck and are in a hurry to make a sale. The drawings then go to the auction house, where everyone can bid.

These rare drawings are often relatively complex and cross-skill drawings.

For example, cars.

In "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty Heroes", the car is a miscellaneous item and is not in any skill sequence. The main body of the car is made of wood, so [carpentry] is required. As for the axle, it belongs to the [Mechanism], and the Trick is one of the branches of the [Engineering] skill, and some parts involving iron are also made with the [Forging] skill. It is very complicated, unlike the Zhenguan plow, the main body is [carpentry], and the ploughshare with a [forging] is completed.

Miscellaneous drawings can only be obtained by special means.

In "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", if you want to make a car, you must first achieve the [carpentry] skill corresponding to the skill drawing. Because the car is recognized by the system as belonging to the largest proportion of wood, the [carpentry] skill is the dominant skill. Then depending on the level of the drawing, such as the intermediate drawing, the intermediate [carpentry] skill is required.

With the intermediate [carpentry] skill, you can learn this drawing. But that doesn't mean you'll be able to make a car. Because to make a car, you also need an intermediate [Trick] to make axles, and an intermediate [Forging] to make parts. Although there is no limit to the number of skills to be learned in "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", the player's energy is limited, and few people can master more than three skills, so cooperation is inevitable.

Those who learn how to draw will buy parts from people who know how to [Mechanic] and [Forge], and then assemble and sell them themselves. Or simply buy it at auction, assemble it yourself, and sell it at a markup.

In the game, the car is a very important thing. It may not be so important to the individual, but for the gang, it is essential. For the big gangs that 'build cities' or even 'build nations', it is the top priority. Gang wars, national wars, etc., all need vehicles to transport supplies. Without a car, relying only on people, it is simply too late.

Because drawings are scarce, even only one person has them. Scarcity is expensive, and making money in this way is the fastest.

In the auction house of "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", the most expensive thing is always a rare drawing.

Some people will also think that if I have practiced [carpentry], [mechanism technique], and [forging] to the intermediate level, and made all the parts of the car, can't I make a car without drawings?

NONO, THINK BEAUTIFULLY. Don't forget, this is the game. And it's a game developed by a company that 'creates happiness with heart', how can it be so happy for you?

The system stipulates that without drawings, even if there are parts, you can't assemble a car!

However, Li Mu does not need to be subject to this restriction now.

As a person who travels through with a complete system, he can see all the drawings in the system shop, and theoretically he can buy every drawing, except for those whose skill level is not enough. Just like he is now an intermediate forging blue, he can't buy advanced forging blueprints, and intermediate forging blueprints, he can buy them all. It's just that the rarer the pattern, the more expensive it is.

And since he is now crossed, not in the game. He was not limited by the game, and he had to be able to make drawings of the car in order to assemble it. He could have just learned the bearing drawings of a mechanism and replaced them with an existing car, and he could achieve his goal.

But Li Mu still didn't take this trick, because he looked at the price of the drawings, which was actually not much worse. One hundred and eighty, and now he doesn't pay attention to it.

Li Mu selected in the system shop for a while, and finally selected an intermediate drawing [iron-clad car]. This [iron-clad car] can be regarded as the treasure of small and medium-sized gangs in the game. It is inexpensive to build and durable. The payload is also sufficient for small and medium-sized gangs, and importantly, it has a wide range of animal power requirements. Cows, horses and even camels etc are available, and the cost performance is very high.

Li Mu spent one hundred and eighty yuan to buy the drawing, and since his carpentry level had reached the intermediate level, he could directly learn this drawing. But he can't make a car at the moment, because he doesn't know how to do tricks yet, and he needs to practice tricks to an intermediate level in order to make the bearings needed for this iron plate car.

The setting of this bearing aroused Li Mu's interest.

When planning games, there is a division of labor. Li Mu is mainly responsible for the data balance part, although occasionally he also has some bad ideas in marketing, but most of the settings, he did not participate.

For example, the bearings of this car, he was not involved at all. But after he looked at the setting of the bearing, he felt that the team in charge of the setting at that time was still attentive.

Ball bearings, which are common today, are not very old. According to the history of China, it was probably in the second half of the Qing Dynasty that ball bearings appeared. In the long history before that, there was no such thing as ball bearings.

So what are the bearings of the carriage used for? The answer is, one is called a wheel device. The origin of this device is related to the Qin and Han dynasties, because of the relationship between the rotation speed, it was originally called the 'slow wheel', and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it evolved into a fast wheel, and its texture also changed.

In the original slow wheel, ceramic and wood were mainly used, but after the evolution into the fast wheel, iron pieces were gradually added to make it stronger. Today's horse-drawn carriages on the market are in a transitional period of evolution, most of them are slow wheels, and a few are 'fast wheels' made of ceramics and wood, so they are very easy to wear. The bearing setting given in the system is a 'history of Chinese bearing evolution'.

The bearings of the cars made in the primary drawings are the original slow wheels, and the relatively rare drawings are the same as those on the market, which have become fast wheels made of ceramic and wood. The intermediate carriage, on the other hand, became a fast wheel with iron pieces added.

Li Mu looked at the bearing setting in the back again, the bearing of the high-end car, there are two iron rings in the axle, the one on the inside is smaller, the contact surface with the iron block on the axle is very small, and the iron ring on the outside is slightly larger. The idea is that the car is not in contact with the axle when it is going straight, and only when the wheel is subjected to lateral force (e.g. when turning), so as to reduce unnecessary friction and at the same time ensure that the wheel does not wobble. Both rings are made as narrow as possible to reduce the friction area. Between the axle and the wheel, there is a large gap between the iron block and the iron ring, and a large amount of grease can be injected for lubrication.

This is already very close to ball bearings.

When it comes to the master bearing, it is simply a ball bearing, which has evolved step by step.

Li Mu is very satisfied with this setting, because of this, he can explain a little. Otherwise, how can he explain how the balls are made? This step by step saved him a lot of trouble.

After understanding the setting of the bearing, Li Mu withdrew from the system. The stomach was already growling, and I secretly complained in my heart, why is Wei Yingluo so slow, just stewing beef, it's not good for a long time.

Just when he couldn't help but curse, the smell of beef came. Li Mu closed his eyes and pretended not to know, waiting for Wei Yingluo to come over.

Wei Yingluo and Pearl were two, each wearing a pair of thick gloves, one holding a soup basin, the other holding a rice basin and chopsticks, when they arrived at the door, neither of them had a hand to knock on the door, Wei Yingluo was holding a rice basin, there was no soup to make a little, so he put down the rice basin and reached out to knock on them. They were low-level maids in the house, but they didn't dare to enter Li Mu's studio directly.

"Come in ......"

Li Mu snorted with a posture.

Wei Yingluo pushed open the door and came in with Pearl to put the beef stew and rice on the workbench.

Li Mu can be regarded as finding the stubble, and said: "Why is it so slow, do you want to starve to death to me?" ”

Wei Yingluo hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's because of ...... Because ......"

"Huh?"

Li Mu picked his eyelids and saw Wei Yingluo's eyes red, as if she had just cried. I can't help but wonder that in this mansion, besides me, there are people bullying her? Is it Zhi'en? No, she shouldn't have come back yet, that's Xiaozhu? How could they have such guts?

Li Mu frowned and said, "Who bullied you?" Why are you crying if you have nothing to do? ”

"No, it's okay......"

Wei Yingluo whispered, turning her face to the side.

Li Mu raised his finger and pointed at the pearl, and said, "If she doesn't say it, you must know, say, what's going on?" If someone bullies you, I will not be biased, and I will give you justice. ”

Seeing that Li Mu asked, Pearl ignored Wei Yingluo's obstruction, and said, "Master Hou, you let me say it, then I will say it." Just now, the porter of the family came and sent a letter from his wife, the old man was sick and had no money to see a doctor. The young lady was worried about the master, so she cried. But don't blame us for the late delivery of the beef, we sent it just after the stew was done, and there was no delay. ”

"Bold!"

Li Mu was furious!
