Chapter 23: Inducement
"The old blacksmith is the only blacksmith in the village, and he is a high-ranking blacksmith. The status in the village is very high, and below, many residents think that the old blacksmith is a hero who resists the Merro Company, and if we do too much, it may cause the residents to revolt, and then it will not benefit the company at all, and it will ......"
After a pause, Robert continued: "If we obtain the blacksmith by just peaceful means, the impression of the inhabitants of us will improve, and if we do some other superficial work in the future, the company's reputation in Winston will certainly increase, and it will be very conducive to making more money in the future." ”
After listening to Robert's explanation, Waltmont nodded, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Robert said still made some sense.
"Alright, then, hire a high-ranking blacksmith at all costs! The opponent old blacksmith is a high-level blacksmith, and there must be no mistakes in the game."
Robert smiled and said, "Don't worry, the old blacksmith is not in good health, this time he will not participate in the competition by himself, but will send a young man, the so-called successor of him, however, I have already investigated, that person is not very capable, just an apprentice." ”
"Okay, but, to be on the safe side, hire the best blacksmith at all costs"
"I've got someone to choose from"
Robert thought the old blacksmith ridiculous, and no matter how bad the situation was, he should not entrust it to an apprentice, but, for the sake of prudence, he naturally paid a great deal of money for the best blacksmith.
......
Greedy is practicing blacksmithing skills under the guidance of the old blacksmith, and a group of people walk into the blacksmith shop with flyers in their hands.
A middle-aged man held up a flyer in his hand and asked, "Is this true?" ”
The old blacksmith took the leaflet and looked at it carefully, and nodded, "Yes, it's true. ”
People were excited.
Greedy was a little curious about what was written on the flyer, so he approached and took a look.
"Metro will have an equipment manufacturing competition with the old blacksmith. We do this because our company respects the old blacksmith and admires his skills. If the old blacksmith wins the race, we will forgive him all his debts, and if we win the old blacksmith in the race, the blacksmith shop will be handed over to us by the old blacksmith, but we will leave the management to him. Our ultimate goal is to coexist with Winston. The date of the competition will be announced in the near future, and we look forward to everyone's cheers."
Greed can feel that the day of the game is getting closer and closer.
However, greed is not nervous at all.
He is the heir to the legendary blacksmith Pugmar.
Although his current strength is far inferior, as the successor of Pugma, he has a certain probability of being able to create high-quality equipment, and the rewards for the mission are really tempting.
"Metro Company did not forcibly take away the old blacksmith's blacksmith's shop, but adopted a fair game, it seems that Metro Company really respects the old blacksmith"
"Yes, and, you see, it says that even if they win, the management rights will still be left to the old blacksmith, and I wonder if the rumors about the Metro Company are true."
"It seems that this is completely inconsistent with the image of them that was rumored before."
A group of fart people who have not experienced the persecution of Metro Company have no idea at all, and a superficial phenomenon can change what they once believed in.
Of course, the old blacksmith naturally knew what kind of medicine was sold in their gourd, and that man was Robert, not an ordinary person!
The old blacksmith angrily grabbed the leaflet and tore him apart.
"Have you forgotten all the humiliation and pain? Just because you see this piece of paper? Metro is a heinous villain, they have taken advantage of information superiority and monopolized the land of Winston, you have been deprived of everything and become impoverished, and what has Metro done for us? ”
A group of people bowed their heads.
Well?
At this time, in the crowd, the old blacksmith saw a person who was different from ordinary people.
The name on the top of the person's head is not green.
"Young man, you are not a resident of this village"
Hearing the old blacksmith's words, he greedily looked at the top of the person's head, the white character name.
It's clear that this person is also a gamer!
"Hello, I'm Hu Luoyi, an ordinary traveler, coming to Winston for the first time"
"Oh, hello, dear traveler, may I ask you what is the matter?"
"I know what I'm saying might make you uncomfortable, but I'm going to keep talking......"
Greedily looked at Hu Luoyi, the first time he came to Winston, the old blacksmith actually respected him so much, it seems that this person should be a high-level traveler.
"When I came to Winston, I heard rumors that Metro knew about Winston's development plan, took advantage of the information monopoly, came here in advance, and spent a lot of land price to acquire the land in the hands of the villagers, and later, Winston made great progress, so Metro Company gained huge benefits, is that right?"
"Right"
The old blacksmith replied.
"Yes, yes, that's right, they're a bunch of robbers"
A group of people who praised Luo Company just now, some of them began to scold Metro Company when they thought of their own land.
"Excuse me, are you forced to sell your land?"
"Uh...... It's not."
The group bowed their heads.
"So, what does this have to do with Metro? When you sold the land to Metro, weren't you blinded by money? Don't you also want to make money with your land? Now thanks to the development of Winston, Metro Company benefits, in the final analysis, it is still your own responsibility, how can you blame Metro Company? ”
"What are you talking about? Are you a lobbyist sent by Metro Company? ”
Hearing Hu Luoyi's words, the others were filled with indignation.
Greed looked at the man and did not speak.
He guessed that this Hu Luoyi should have accepted a certain task from Metro Company and came to do the task.
The atmosphere around suddenly changed.
But Hu Luoyi did not show to flinch, and continued: "But it is natural for a company to use information to create wealth, many of you hate him, but there is no need to be an enemy, have they really done something wrong?" ”
"You bastard! What the hell are you talking about! It impoverishes us."
The residents didn't like Hu Luoyi's words, and they began to become angry, and some even wanted to do something.
"Let me first state that I am not employed by Metro Company, I am just from the perspective of a third party, you think about it, Winston has such a large company as Metro Company, isn't it a good thing for this place? How many opportunities will he give Winston? What if you can calm down, accept the words of Metro Corporation, coexist with it, and use the opportunity to develop yourself? I think that's a wiser choice! ”
"This ......"
The residents, who had been a little angry just now, calmed down, and seemed to have some truth in listening.
"Young man, you suddenly ran here? What is the purpose of saying this? ”
The old blacksmith naturally suspected that this person was a lobbyist for the Metro Company.
After hearing this, Greed was even more sure that Hu Luoyi must have accepted the task of Metro Company, and once the residents here were convinced, he would be able to complete the task.
Naturally, he could not allow such a situation to happen.
"Hey, you kid......"
Greed stood up and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by the old blacksmith, who motioned that Greed didn't need to speak, and that he would speak.
"You're right, if we coexist with big companies, our future will be bright"
Ha? What is he saying?
Greedy was a little puzzled, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the old blacksmith continue: "Of course, the premise is that this village does not belong to the Earl of Steel. ”
"Not of Earl Steel?"
Hu Luoyi was a little puzzled, he didn't know what the old blacksmith meant.
"I don't know where you're from, but this village belongs to Count Steel, so there's something here called "People's Rights", which is a law added by Count Steele himself, because he cherishes the people. And, you know what? The North is going through a tribulation right now, the climate is harsh, there are many monsters, many people are struggling, and if possible, a large number of North dwellers will move into Winston in the future."
"That said, this migration could have a big impact on the surrounding villages and cities"
The old blacksmith nodded, and continued, "Yes, that's why the Earl wants to make great efforts against Winston. Roads are improved, traffic is upgraded, and this is exactly what is prepared for the mass migration of residents in the future, and Winston will even become a bridge between the capital and the new land in the future."
As he spoke, the old blacksmith became even more agitated.
"So the Earl of Stim has made it a rule that any change in the place of residence of the inhabitants of Winston must be reported to the higher-ups, and that new residents should be prepared at any time in case of sudden changes in the north."
Hu Luoyi nodded and said: "What you said is reasonable, then now it seems that the residents of Winston should benefit from the development, and obviously it should not be the Merro Company, all of this is to prepare for the subsequent migration, since as the people of the Earl of Steel, no one should disobey him, I must blame the lords of Winston and the Mero Company, they went against the wishes of the Earl of Steel." ”
After a pause, Hu Luoyi suddenly shouted loudly: "Lord Winston and the disgust of the Merro Company must be reported to Count Stim as soon as possible!" But you are all under the supervision of the Mero Company and the lord, it is difficult to do it, leave this matter to me! I'll report the whole thing to Earl Steel! For the honor of the Earl and the future of Winston! ”
"Thank you, we will all believe in you"
Hearing Hu Luoyi say this, the residents were very excited.
"Huh? What's the situation? ”
Greedily looked at Hu Luoyi and was a little confused.
This looks a little strange, generally speaking, users are passive to accept the tasks given by NPCs, just watched the dialogue between Hu Luoyi and NPCs, greedy suddenly felt, this task seems to be induced by Hu Luoyi?
So everything just now was done by him on purpose?
Greed was a little surprised.
However, looking at him before, greed can be sure that this person must have accepted the mission of Metro Company to convince the residents here, and what is the pace of development now.
"Hey, little man, didn't you come to this place to convince the inhabitants? What is this doing now? ”
"Shorty?"
Hearing greed call himself like this, Hu Luoyi was obviously a little unhappy.
Hu Luoyi looked at the greed carefully, no matter how he looked at it, he was a low-level user, and he looked like a novice.
Hu Luoyi said with a disgusted face: "Hey, novice, let me teach you." ”
Hu Luoyi was saying that the greedy window suddenly showed a sharing message from Hu Luoyi.
Greedily accepted it.
