"Speak quickly!" Lan Zhan hurriedly asked.

"Union!" I said anxiously.

"Unions?" The crowd asked.

"That's right! We set up a union, and all blacksmiths who join our union can use the blacksmiths we built at a very low price! I said happily.

"Cut!" They gave me a middle finger and said, "Isn't that just building a team?" ”

"The union I have established, unlike what you think, is not a team that we formed, but a team formed in the name of Iron Valley." I said smugly.

"Dragon, you can be clear, what the hell are you talking about?" Lan Zhan hurriedly interrupted me and said.

"Lan Zhan, this is actually a kind of authority of our Iron Valley, which is similar to the right of settlement." I said.

"What's the point? If we have the right to settle, wouldn't it be superfluous to engage in these unions? Lan Zhan said.

"Brother Lan, if the number of people in our union increases, in that case, the blacksmiths in the system will have to move the headquarters to our Iron Valley, and after having a large number of blacksmiths, our Iron Valley will be able to get a smelting academy rewarded by the system." Xunlong said suddenly.

"Smelting Academy?" We were amazed and said that we had never heard of this before.

"Yes, Smelting Academy, it's a good thing! After owning this smelting academy, those NPC professors in the smelting academy, they will give us some proposals every year, and those proposals are some ideas to increase efficiency, or the attributes of weapons in various aspects. If we need the ideas in some of the above proposals to be realized, we only need to provide the professors of the smelting academy with money and various raw materials for them to study. The ideas of those professors, after getting enough money, may be realized after a certain period of time or a short time. Of course, there is a certain chance of success. The probability of success is related to the level of those professors and the degree of difficulty. In addition, the academy also has the advantage that we also let those NPC craftsmen go inside to learn a certain skill, and after learning and getting the academy's certificate of completion, the NPC upgrade speed will be accelerated. Moreover, those NPCs still have a certain chance of being promoted to become researchers of the academy, and the researchers can also be promoted to professors, so that the scientific research strength of the academy will be accelerated, and the proposals submitted to us every year will also increase. Xunlong said.

"Sister Long, is there really such a good thing?" The Blues were simply overjoyed.

"Sister, why don't I know what you said?" I asked in surprise.

"Dragon, don't you know yet? Isn't that why you're going to get a union? Xunlong asked me in some surprise.

"No! I just thought that when those people join our union in Iron Valley, we will charge them 1 gold coin a month. And when you join the club, you have to pay a one-time admission fee of 100 gold coins, so that it will temporarily alleviate the contradiction of our shortage of funds. I replied honestly.

"Dragon! Since the union has the same benefits as Sister Long said, then this union, we must establish it. In order to attract more craftsmen to come in, the cost of joining the union will not be necessary, and we must increase the preferential policies of our union, so that the blacksmiths in this game will come to our union. Lan Zhan's expression was very happy, and then he turned his head and asked Xunlong, "Sister Long, do you remember what is the minimum condition for the Smelting Academy to be set up in our Iron Valley?" ”

"In the game, if 80% of the people of the same profession gather in a certain place for a long time, the system will establish some type of academy there. If we had established a union that would have 80% of the blacksmiths in our region join, we would have gathered enough of the same type of people. Xunlong said.

"In the whole region, 80% of the same type of professions! It seems a bit harder, doesn't it? Do you think, this game, that profession is simply a mess, those players, that one doesn't have several professions? Especially this blacksmith, it seems that everyone is going to turn! Catch up with Ming'er, and I'll also change my job to play as a blacksmith. I jokingly said.

"Brother, it's not like this, when the system wants to count the profession, the level of the profession must be the third order, or more than the 3rd order, and the system does not count all the players who turn to blacksmiths." Xunlong said.

"That's reasonable! In our future union advertisements, we will also make a restriction, in order not to miss any blacksmith, our requirements are two levels! As long as the blacksmiths who have reached the second level can join our union, and our first union members are the blacksmiths who are now settled in Iron Valley! Lan Zhan announced loudly.

"We have to stipulate some rights and obligations for the members of those unions, and I think it's good that we still have to charge them a certain amount of money every month, and we shouldn't be too high for that fee, just 10 silver coins! We stipulate that as long as we are members of the union, we can get the right to settle in the iron valley at the same time, and at the same time, we can buy the metals we smelt at 90% of the price, and for some special metals, only members of our union can buy them. And the blacksmith, they can also use it first, as for the time to use it, even if it is 72 game hours! If this time is exceeded, you only need to pay 80% of the usage fee. "I pondered for a moment, and immediately came up with some of the rights of the unionists.

"It's not always good to pay the money, so let's get rid of the money, and go as usual with the rest, and add a clause that all the members of our union, at a certain time, should heed our call to make certain weapons." Sister Hua said.

"Sister Hua, if the 10 silver coins are too high, we can reduce them, but we must not save them, because if we save them, then we want to recharge them in the future, it will be very difficult, but only the price is raised, and the reaction below is not so big. Collecting money to raise the price is a completely different concept for those players! I said quickly.

"I agree with what the dragon said." Lan Zhan said: "Let's use our brains together to see how the terms of our union are written, and we must ensure that our union not only has rights, but also obligations!" ”

Then we began to discuss the union, and after a few hours, we came up with a few articles of the union with reference to some other people's things, the general meaning of which was as follows:

The rights of the Iron Valley Blacksmith Guild:

1. All members of our trade union can enjoy the treatment of all trade union members

2. All members of our trade union can use the blacksmith for free for 72 hours per month, and the excess time will be calculated at 80% of the normal price. And you can give priority to the use of the blacksmith.

3. All members of our union can buy the high-quality metal provided by Tiegu at 90% of the normal price. And it is possible to buy special metals from within our union.

4. All members of our trade union can get a bucket of ice crystal spring water every month.

5. All members of our trade union can enjoy the exchange of materials within the trade union

6.……

Obligations of the Iron Valley Blacksmith Guild:

1. All members of our union must pay a monthly membership fee of 10 silver coins.

2. All members of our union must help each other, respect and love each other

3. All members of our trade union,......

4.……

It didn't take long for all the blacksmiths in the Iron Valley to receive a message from the Iron Valley City Lord's Mansion that they were asked to join the Iron Valley's blacksmith union, and at the same time, the introduction of the union also reached their hands through the channel, and seeing that this blacksmith union was only good for them and no harm, they did not hesitate to apply to join.

At the same time, this announcement also passed through the public channel and appeared in the eyes of various players, and those players saw this announcement and immediately talked about it.

Hao Wenqing, who was leveled up in the game, saw this news and said to himself: "What the hell is this eye-gouging demon doing?" Is it a means to attract blacksmiths in the game? But no matter how he tosses, his days are not much. ”

"But this eye-gouging demon is really a genius, we used to own Iron Valley, and we didn't think it had anything, but during the time he managed Iron Valley, he actually made a lot of good things out of Iron Valley. Ice crystal spring water like this is a nice thing! Let's let Mr. Wang add all our craftsmen to it, and you can get a bucket of ice crystal spring water a month! ”

Chidori and Qinghuo also saw the news, however, Qinghuo didn't say anything, just read it, but, Chidori saw it, but immediately talked to Honghuo: "Honghuo, good news!" Did you see the announcement from the Eyegouge, this is a good opportunity! ”

"See, I'm letting my boys go to the union?" Honghuo replied.

In all corners of the game, such dialogues are repeated over and over again. The applications for membership came from all directions like snowflakes.

"Haha! Dragon, what a delight! It didn't take long for us to receive 600,000 applications for membership! Lan Zhan looked at the tumbling numbers and couldn't help but say to me happily.

"Agree to join all those who meet the requirements!" I said immediately.

Sister Hua nodded, and soon we could see the total number of more than 600,000 people from the management column of the trade union, and the number of people continued to roll and increase, and soon broke through the 700,000 mark.

"Dragon, you say, how many blacksmiths are there in our region!" Lan Zhan asked me.

"Where do I know?" I said.

"Then you say, can we make it?" Lan Zhan asked.

"What about it? Just do your best. I pondered for a moment and continued, "But to be honest, I'm pretty sure. ”

"Oh!"

"Lan Zhan, our Iron Valley, in the past half a year, has been known by many people, and most of the blacksmiths who want to upgrade quickly also know that Iron Valley is a treasure of feng shui, before because there were not many ironsmiths in Iron Valley, so there were no more people coming, and now as soon as the notice of our union comes out, those blacksmiths who want to level up will not miss it." I said.

"Dragon, what do you mean......" Lan Zhan looked at me in surprise: "Dragon, are you finally willing to pay for the repair of those blacksmiths?" ”

"Actually, I didn't do it in the best way, but now, I have found a good reason for myself." I nodded.

"Good! We can borrow money from you in the name of Iron Valley, and you say, "You want Iron Valley, how many years will you repay the money?" We've got to give you the best of it! Lan Zhan said jokingly.

"Lan Zhan, don't tease me, the system has long had regulations in this regard, the date of repayment, the amount, and the interest are all standard, and the benefits can only be less, there is absolutely no way to more." I said with a smile.

"How much money are you going to put in?" Lan Zhan asked me.

"Let's invest 50 million first! We're going to build all the blacksmiths that don't have a shop function, hey! I've always been worried about the fact that we suddenly built so many blacksmiths, and I wonder what kind of impact it will have on players who want to operate here. Still a little worried, I said.

"This is not a big problem, Iron Valley's weapons and equipment must form a scale, so that our Iron Valley's weapons and equipment manufacturing industry will be famous, and those players will be willing to come to us to trade." Lan Zhan shook his head and said.

In the next few days, we were dealing with the affairs of the union, and the construction of those blackworks, the blackworks we built, each of which had 300 furnaces, and the newly built blackworks all used the new blowers that Lan Zhan had gotten, which was much more efficient.

I have invested twice and built a total of 2,000 blacksmiths, so that our Iron Valley will have 600,000 furnaces at once, which can meet the needs of those blacksmiths.

After getting this iron furnace, the first thing I did was to scrap all the old iron furnaces in the Jiangshan League. Because the new type of iron furnace is much more efficient than the old one, many blacksmiths have no complaints about the scrapping of those iron furnaces, and the few voices are also drowned out by the blacksmiths' applause for the new iron furnaces.

After the establishment of those blacksmiths, the members of our union suddenly rose to 1.5 million, and there were more and more blacksmiths to be added, and our blacksmiths suddenly became very nervous, and we had to build another 2,000 blacksmiths to alleviate the demand for blacksmiths.

The players in the Iron Valley have suddenly increased, and their need for those metals has also increased, and the NPCs led by Liu Zi have been working day and night, and we have added four more blast furnaces to meet the needs of those blacksmiths for those metals.

"Dragon, fortunately, our smelting level has improved, otherwise, we don't know how much we will lose in this alone." Once when Liu Zi was inspecting their smelting, she said to me.

"Sister Liu, in fact, we are also losing money now! The old pig sent us so many ores over, all of them were accompanied by us, and the cost of our smelting now did not calculate the wages of those NPCs at all, you know, buying NPCs also cost money! We have to recoup some of our costs from time to time. I said.

"I guess it's a bit difficult, isn't it? Every time we reduce the cost, but within a few days, the price of those metals in the system will inevitably go down, and we have to follow the system and adjust our price. This system won't give others money in this place at all? Liu Zi said.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, we are not engaged in this smelting for money, we can make the best, we can't make it, and it's okay to keep the capital." I nodded. In fact, not only the price of metal, but also the situation of those weapons and equipment, those vast number of players, if they want to make money on building weapons, the level of craftsmanship in making weapons must always be in front of most people, and their blacksmith rank must also rise again and again. Those things made by low-level blacksmiths often don't even recover their cost. After all, LX is not stupid, and there is no way he can lose money in the game.

In the next few days, our union membership has increased to 3 million. At this time, the system finally sent us an exciting news: "Lord Castle Lord, who is accompanied by glory and wisdom, congratulations, your Iron City, owns 80% of the blacksmiths in the empire, therefore, the Blacksmith Craftsman Association has decided to move the headquarters of the blacksmith to Iron Valley, and the blacksmith of Iron Valley will be automatically upgraded to the headquarters of the blacksmith." ”

"Congratulations to the lord of the city, who is accompanied by glory and wisdom, your iron city has 80% of the empire's blacksmiths, and the iron valley has become the cradle of the blacksmiths, in order to further improve the smelting level of the blacksmiths, the empire has decided to set up a smelting academy in the iron valley, please set aside a piece of land for the construction of the smelting academy."

"Lord, Lord of the Castle, who is accompanied by glory and wisdom, congratulations on you, for your contribution to the Blacksmiths Association, the Blacksmiths Association has awarded you the title of Honorary Elder of the Blacksmiths Association."

"Congratulations, Lord Castle Lord, who accompanied you with glory and wisdom, for your contribution to the Empire, the Empire has granted you 10,000 points of prestige and the title of Iron Valley Smelting City."

"Congratulations, Lord Castle Lord, who is accompanied by glory and wisdom, you Iron City, with the title of Smelting City, you can build a landmark building in the city, the Smelting Tower, under the light of the Smelting Tower, your smelting efficiency and the success rate and quality of weapons and equipment will increase, and the experience gained by each blacksmith will increase." This is called happy events one after another, listening to the news from the system, I can't help but be overjoyed, my money, really not in vain! Not only did I get an academy, but I also deceived him of the title of honorary elder, and the coolest thing is that what is called the Smelting Tower, it is simply one of the most unexpected surprises for me!

With this smelting tower, it is impossible for those blacksmiths to come to our Iron Valley to develop, and there will be a blacksmith who wants to practice his skills and can resist the temptation of this extra experience? What's more, this smelting tower also increases the success rate and the quality of the finished product? It seems that our Iron Valley has ushered in its golden age of rapid development!

"Dragon! Did you hear what the system told us? Lan Zhan didn't know where to rush in and shouted at me excitedly.

"Got it, it's the most exciting news I've ever heard, let's tell the news to the number one people in the world, so that they can share our joy!" There was a smile in my voice.

"Of course, Dragon! Haha, you kid is so cute. "Lan Zhan is in the City Lord's Mansion, and he is so excited that he doesn't even know how to put his hands.

All the people who received the notice had already rushed to the City Lord's Mansion as fast as possible, and everyone's faces were full of smiles, and after congratulating us, we decided on the address of the Smelting Academy and the place to put the Smelting Tower in extreme excitement. The decision to locate these two buildings so quickly was entirely due to the perfect map of the Blue Wars!

The system was very efficient, and we decided on the address, and we saw a huge hammer-shaped building rising from the ground in the Iron Valley from the window of the City Lord's Mansion, which seemed to be the Smelting Tower. In the blink of an eye, the smelting tower was built, and then we found that it was 50 meters high, and the base also occupied a large piece of land.

The smelting academy was also built in front of our eyes in an instant, and the smelting academy covers an area of very large, with thousands of acres, but there are not many buildings in it, and the system will really be wasted!

For the sudden appearance of these two huge buildings in Iron Valley, the people in Iron Valley came out to watch. When they sent the news of the completion of these two buildings from the system, and learned the news of these two buildings, they all cheered, which made our Iron Valley have a festive atmosphere.

"Dragon! The number of people who have applied to join our Iron Valley and the number of members of the union has suddenly reached a new high? Sister Hua said suddenly.

After these two buildings were built, our City Lord's Mansion also welcomed two guests, one of whom was the head of the Smelting Tower, and the other was the headmaster of the Smelting Academy.

"The head of the Lower Smelting Tower, the apostle of Sumeite, Meck, has seen the Lord of the City."

"In the principal of the Lower Smelting Academy, I have seen the city lord."

"Hello two, do you have anything to do with me?" I sat proudly on the lord's chair, trying to look serious, but I found that I sat like a monkey.

"Meike asked the lord of the city to provide 100 catties of various grade 2 and above fine stones every month for the operation of the smelting tower. and provide 1,000 gold coins per month as the living expenses of the apostles of Sumut in the Tower of Smelting. Mei Ke said to me respectfully.

This smelting tower still needs money to operate! However, this smelting tower is a good thing, and I have to give priority to it. It's just that this money is easy to say, and the second-level essence stone is difficult to get. So I looked embarrassed and said to Namek, "Can I replace it with other fine stones?" We can offer a little more. ”

"Lord Yu City, this level of essence stone is already the minimum requirement." Meck said.
