Chapter 125: The Land of the Grove
When Lao Jiu arrived at the place where the Forty Thieves had spoken, he also had to be impressed by the creativity of nature. This small plain is indeed not big, only a few kilometers in circumference, surrounded by mountains, and rivers passing by.
In addition, this can pass through this plain, and can reach the north to the foot of the Ascending Peak, the west can reach the Dream City, the south can reach the Dragon Slaying Mountains, and the east can go deep into the depths of the wilderness. It is worthy of being a battleground for soldiers, and the traffic must go to the hub.
"How's the boss? Still happy with this place? Long Shou looked at Lao Jiu and said proudly.
"Yes, it's a good place, if you build a city here, then it will play a decisive role in the development of the Xiaoyao Empire in the future." Lao Jiu said with great satisfaction, "How is your current level?" ”
"Forty of us are all over fifty-five, I'm fifty-eight, and the other brothers are basically forty." The dragon head said with some smugness.
"It's too slow! Don't worry about the other players you bring, I'll let Tie Zihao build a militarized city here, and your people will let them develop freely first. Lao Jiu said, glanced at the dragon head and said, "Forty of you, strive to raise the level to level sixty after the city is established." ”
"Wouldn't it be okay for me to leave the other brothers alone?" The dragon head said with a frown.
"It's not that they don't care, it's to let them develop freely, otherwise they will just retreat, the resources in the game are limited, since you have seized the opportunity, I hope you can cherish it." Lao Jiu looked at him and said seriously, "Only when your level goes up, can I rest assured that I will hand over this place to you!" ”
"You mean, we'll take care of this place later?" The dragon head asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"The premise is that you can take it, it's not that I underestimate you, if a large number of players come to the city to develop, and there is no strength higher than the tenth level, you don't want to control the field." Lao Jiu rolled his eyes and said.
"As far as we know, most of the players are between level twenty and fifty at present, and there are very few players at level 50, and level 60 should be rare, right, with our forty and more than fifty levels, we can't hold it back?" The dragon head said with some disbelief.
"Ignorance! What I'm talking about is still tight, don't think that you can upgrade quickly, in a month, you won't be able to upgrade to level 60, you won't be able to keep this place at all, and in another half a year, you won't be able to upgrade to level 70, so you don't have to guard here. Lao Jiu glanced at him and said disdainfully.
"This is a siege of cities and land, war does not rely on individual heroism, is it useful to have three or five more masters?" Long Shou's face was a little ugly when Lao Jiu said it, and he said unconvinced.
"If there is no deterrence from masters, the consequences of unscrupulous destruction alone are not something we can afford." Lao Jiu looked at him and shook his head, and said in a serious tone, "You don't understand the destructive power of a master at all. ”
"If it's so difficult, can't you besiege? One can't beat ten, and ten can't do hundred. The dragon head said as a matter of course.
"Alas......" Lao Jiu sighed helplessly, it seemed that he couldn't do it without showing some strength, and then he floated up like that, looking at the forty thieves below lightly and said, "Come, you guys will besiege me and take a look?" ”
"I'll it! How do you do it? That's a hairy one! The dragon head looked at the sky, and Lao Jiu, who was holding the Condor Bow a hundred meters away, was so shocked that his jaw almost fell.
"Whoosh...... When! Lao Jiu directly opened the bow and shot an arrow, and before the dragon head could react, an arrow shot off his helmet, and he instinctively raised his weapon to block it, but he didn't block it.
"Do you still think half of the masters are useless?" Lao Jiu looked down at them and said coldly.
"Uh...... I didn't expect players to be able to fly. The dragon head said with some embarrassment.
"It's often just that you don't think about it, so it will lead to losing all the games." Lao Jiu landed in front of the dragon head and said slowly, "In this game, the level is really important, so I hope you can cherish the present." ”
"It's a little arrogant that we're a little arrogant, don't worry, we'll work hard to improve the level in the future." The dragon head blushed a little and said, "That, can you ask, how many levels are you?" ”
"Do not spread the word except forty of you." Lao Jiu glanced at the people around him lightly, and then sent a private message to Long Shou.
"Got it, we'll move up the level as soon as possible." After seeing Lao Jiu's information, Long Shou's face changed, and then he said seriously.
"I'll find someone to send the design drawings of the city as soon as possible, and in the meantime, your main task is to upgrade, and you don't have to worry about anything else." Lao Jiu looked at the dragon head and said, "By the way, what are you going to call here in the future?" ”
"Yuanlu, one of our brothers in northern Shaanxi." The dragon head said with some embarrassment.
"What? Hoops? Why does it sound so awkward? How did you come up with a name? Lao Jiu asked with a confused face.
"He said that the place was like a circle, leading in all directions, and by the time he wrote those two words, I felt pretty good, so I called it that." The dragon head said helplessly.
"What word? How is it written? Lao Jiu asked curiously.
"It's just that the mouth is added in all directions." The dragon head said and wrote two words to Lao Jiu on the ground.
"Grass! I really feel like I'm in college for nothing! Lao Jiu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and scolded with a little fever on his face, "It's called this name, and it can disgust others in the future, and this place will be called Yuanlu City in the future." ”
Lao Jiu didn't know that because of such a name, he was scolded by future players. It was even jokingly called the Four-Sided City by players.
"Are you sure it's called Circle City? Don't change? The dragon head asked with some suspicion.
"Change it to Mao, it's called this. I will build a teleportation array here first, and then prepare the materials for building the city, so that the Xuanwu Legion can temporarily garrison here, and the forty of you will hurry up and upgrade. Lao Jiu said conclusively.
"Alright then, I'll take them and get to level sixty as soon as possible, and I'll catch up with you as soon as possible." The dragon head said confidently.
"Then I'll wait for your good news." Lao Jiu said to him.
After characterizing this place as a military powerhouse, Lao Jiu began to order Tie Zihao to transform the entire plain, and after they determined the location of the teleportation array, Lao Jiu built a military teleportation array again, and then returned to the Xiaoyao Basin.
After more than half a month of traveling, Lao Jiu finally confirmed for the first time that the territorial scope of the Xiaoyao Empire, connecting the prairie to the north, established Qilin Pass and Canyon Pass, and at the same time set up a military teleportation array in Canyon Pass.
The Qilin Pass is relatively close to the Longkou Fortress, and the road has been repaired, so Lao Jiu did not reinvest, and there is a natural danger in the west, and the White Tiger military base has been established, which can be regarded as a guarantee for the territory in the west.
The construction of the Teng Snake Fortress can be regarded as a close contact with the Chinese Empire, with the military teleportation array, there is no problem in defending the Teng Snake Fortress, and the Hundred Years Old Mountain Range has become a natural barrier for the Chinese Empire and the Easy Empire.
And Nantianmen is not to mention, this is the only way for the Huaxia Empire to go north, so Lao Jiu's defense of Nantianmen is also done to the extreme, and at the same time, a military teleportation array has been installed, and a new military defense fortress has been built.
Finally, the construction of Yuanlu City, which is an important strategic city for the eastward development of the Xiaoyao Empire, so Lao Jiu plans to build Yuanlu City into the most solid fortress, so that the Xiaoyao Empire can gain a foothold in the east.
If Lao Jiu did not make an error in his estimation, the Xiaoyao Empire would definitely come into contact with the sea in the end, which was the real door for Lao Jiu to go to the world, so Lao Jiu would see it so important to the development of the East in the future.
However, so far, Lao Jiu has not been able to develop eastward, if not for anything else, because his funds have begun to run low again.
The construction of the five military teleportation arrays alone cost Lao Jiu 250 million gold coins, plus the construction of various fortresses, the purchase of materials, and the cost of teleportation, it was a mess, and for most of the month, Lao Jiu spent nearly 300 million gold coins.
And the city wants to be built into a militarized fortress, and I don't know how many gold coins are needed, when Lao Jiu and Baili Piaoxue discussed, they were almost not scolded to death by Baili.
However, scolding and scolding, Baili Piaoxue is still thinking of a way to help Lao Jiu prepare funds, and the fastest money at present should be regarded as a teleportation array, the current floating population of the Easy Empire is about three million every day.
In this way, the income of the light teleportation array every day is more than 50 million, but it is a pity that the Imperial City is still under construction, and all kinds of projects have to be invested, and the daily expenses are also more than tens of millions, which can basically be the same as the income.
In this way, there will be no problems in the short term, but after a long time, there will inevitably be a shortage of funds, and it will be too late to think of a way. Therefore, Lao Jiucai is ready to find another way out to see how he can get rich quickly.
Thinking of the New Year, Murong was worried, and Lao Jiu hit the idea on Jiuding. At the beginning of the game, people didn't realize the importance of Jiuding, and Lao Jiu was the worst person who was pitted by the system.
The recovery of Jiuding was only 50 million, so he misestimated the value of Jiuding, which was sold to the Long family cheaply, but there was also a reason for Long Sifeng, a city that never sleeps, and an island, the total value was also about 300 million gold coins.
And the price that Murong Lichou gave to Lao Jiu was much higher, directly 500 million. Now Lao Jiu's strength is even greater, so he is ready to do a black job, so that the Murong family can not only owe him a favor, but also get funds quickly.
As soon as he thought of it, Lao Jiu began to contact Murong Lichou, because they had accurate information and could determine Jiuding's movements, which was the most important thing. Only by mastering first-hand information can we be foolproof.
If you fail once, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the other party, and then there will be no chance to commit another crime in the future.
