Chapter 114: Taming the Kirin Horse
In a month, Lao Jiu spent 100 million gold coins, not counting the cost of climbing to the top of the Heavenly Peak to build a teleportation array, and today's income from the outer heavens could not make up for the expenses of the Empire at all.
Fortunately, the income of the teleportation array can make up for almost half of Lao Jiu's expenses, but despite this, Lao Jiu also feels that he can't make ends meet.
With the stabilization of a large number of players, the various projects in the Xiaoyao Basin have also entered a period of stability, but outside of Longkou Fortress, it is a different scene.
If you want to say what is the most terrifying in the wilderness, it is not Warcraft, but the player. In just one month, within a hundred miles of Longkou Fortress, it was cleared by players, and now players have begun to expand beyond a hundred miles.
Just when the development of the Xiaoyao Basin had just entered a period of stability, Mi Baoer suddenly contacted Lao Jiu.
"What's wrong, Bao'er? Miss Brother Jiu? Lao Jiu was rarely relaxed, and he flirted with Mi Baoer.
"What, I've been busy lately, how can I have time to think about you, it's not you who hurt you, my sisters are scolding you." Mi Baoer rolled her eyes and said.
"Brother is almost tired of becoming a dog, but isn't there no way." Lao Jiu also said with a bitter face.
"Then I'll tell you good news." Mi Baoer stuck out her tongue and said.
"What's the good news? There hasn't been much good news lately. Lao Jiu looked at Mi Baoer and said.
"My brother has found a way to tame the Kirin Horse." Mi Baoer looked at Lao Jiu and said.
"What? Your brother? How did he get there? Can he tame the unicorn horse? Lao Jiuda asked in surprise.
You must know that for more than a month, Wang Dazhi and they have no way to take the unicorn horse, and now Lao Jiu finally sees hope, how can this not surprise him. If the unicorn horse can be tamed, then Lao Jiu's cavalry unit will become the strongest combat force.
"Anyway, he has had an extraordinary talent for taming beasts since he was a child, so I asked him to try it, but I didn't expect it to be successful." Mibel said.
"It's a big deal, and I have to make it myself. Anyway, I'll rush to the Kirin Racecourse now. Lao Jiu hurriedly hung up Mi Baoer's video, and then ran towards the Qilin Racecourse.
When Lao Jiu arrived at the Qilin Horse Farm, the whole horse farm was in full swing, a large number of soldiers were cheering around the horse farm, Lao Jiu looked inside, and a black and thin man was riding the head horse of the Qilin horse, showing off his horse skills on the grassland.
"Haha, you kid can, really give your brother-in-law a long face." With a loud laugh, Lao Jiu jumped directly to the middle of the racecourse, and the cheers around him also stopped.
"Salute!" Seeing that it was Lao Jiu, Wang Dazhi immediately shouted to the people around him, and then, everyone bowed to Lao Jiu neatly.
"It's been hard for everyone, it's okay, I'm just coming over to see, how is the construction of Qilin Pass?" Lao Jiu looked at Wang Dazhi and asked casually.
"Qilin Pass has been built, there are currently 10,000 people left, 10,000 people left on the grassland, and the rest of the people, I have taken them to the grassland to experience, today I heard that the Qilin horse was tamed, so I came to take a look." Wang Dazhi said.
"That's why I heard about it." Lao Jiu said a word, and then looked at Mi Xiaobao and rode a unicorn horse to his side.
"Hehe, how about brother-in-law, I still have the ability." Mi Xiaobao came to Lao Jiu's side, jumped off the horse, and smiled proudly.
"Not only do you have the ability, but your ability is too great, say it, whatever you want, my brother-in-law will satisfy you." Lao Jiu looked at him and said generously.
"I also want to lead the troops and become a general!" Mi Xiaobao looked at Lao Jiu and shouted.
"How many levels are you? I'll tell you, a general isn't an easy one. Lao Jiu looked at Mi Xiaobao and said.
"I'm level forty-five, and I'm born with divine powers, I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I'm very familiar with the mountain environment." Mi Xiaobao said with some pride.
"I don't see it, come on, try this weapon, see how it goes." Lao Jiu said, took out his bone knife, and handed it to Mi Xiaobao.
"I'll go, this knife is so handsome!" Seeing the three-meter-long bone knife, Mi Xiaobao couldn't help but exclaim, and then held the handle of the knife with both hands, and wanted to dance twice, while Lao Jiu stood aside, laughing and silent.
"Damn! Why is it so heavy? Definitely more than one hundred and fifty pounds. Mi Xiaobao only took one turn, then looked at Lao Jiu, and shouted dissatisfiedly, "This physical exertion is too serious, if it reaches level fifty, it should be just right." ”
"Hehe, then hurry up and upgrade. I'll keep the knife for you first, if you can organize me a cavalry, the most powerful cavalry, you will have what you want in the future! Lao Jiu looked at Mi Xiaobao and smiled.
"That's what you said, it's just that the number of unicorn horses is a little small, and their breeding is not very fast, at least a year to wait." Mi Xiaobao looked at Lao Jiu and said helplessly.
"General Wang, I don't know if you have found any traces of the unicorn horse on the prairie during this time?" Lao Jiu turned his head, looked at Wang Dazhi and asked.
"This month, we also found a large number of unicorn horses, just because their speed is too fast, the brothers really have no way, preliminary estimates, within a radius of 200 kilometers, the number of unicorn horses, about tens of thousands." Wang Dazhi looked at Lao Jiu and said.
"Xiaobao, you should first form a cavalry squad to drive the Qilin horses, and General Wang will organize manpower to build a horse farm on the edge of the grassland. Your main task is to domesticate as many unicorn horses as possible. Lao Jiu looked at the two of them and said.
"Yes!" Wang Dazhi immediately responded.
"Knowing brother-in-law, this is to build an army for myself, I will definitely be interested, you can rest assured." Mi Xiaobao also patted his chest and reassured.
"This is our strongest combat power in the future, you kid better not give me sloppy." Lao Jiu emphasized again.
"Promise to complete the task and assemble the most powerful cavalry for my brother-in-law, or you will let my sister cut me!" Mi Xiaobao looked at Lao Jiu and said.
"General Wang, you select the best warriors, let them tame the unicorn horses, and turn them into cavalry, this will be our most powerful legion in the future, and it will become the pride of all warriors." Lao Jiu said to Wang Dazhi again.
"Yes, Master Hou!" Wang Dazhi looked at Lao Jiu, gave a military salute and said.
"Xiaobao, you will send me the statistics of the number and approximate size of all the unicorn horses in a while, and I will have someone create exclusive saddles and armor for the unicorn horses." Lao Jiu looked at Mi Xiaobao and said, "Of course, there is also your own, what weapon you like, you can design it yourself, and I will let someone build it for you." ”
"I like the double-back sword fork, this is my own design, the weight is a hundred pounds, I will send you the drawings later." Mi Xiaobao shouted happily.
"What double-back sword fork?" Lao Jiu looked at him with some curiosity and asked.
"That's what it looks like." Mi Xiaobao said, called up a drawing, and let Lao Jiu look at it.
When Lao Jiu saw his picture clearly, his first feeling was spicy eyes, because the weapon that Mi Xiaobao designed for himself was really ugly.
"You can't change this based on the big fork of the Bull Demon King, right?" Lao Jiu looked at him a little speechless and asked.
Because the whole weapon is really a big fork, but in the middle is in the form of a sword, and on both sides are two large swords, the sword is four and a half feet long, and the sword is three feet long, and the whole handle is more than seven feet long. It seems, how ugly it is.
"Hehe, I like this, I feel very domineering." Mi Xiaobao scratched his head with his hand, looked at Lao Jiu and said with a smile.
"So be it, you can use it anyway, as long as you like it." Lao Jiu didn't care about it anymore, he directly copied his drawings and said with him.
"Since the unicorn horse can be tamed, I also have to prepare equipment for the newly built cavalry, you should hurry up and develop the cavalry, there are still many things in the basin that I need to deal with, so I will go first." Lao Jiu looked at the two and said.
"Got it, brother-in-law." Mi Xiaobao looked at Lao Jiudao.
"Congratulations to Master Hou!" Wang Dazhi also shouted, and then the surrounding soldiers all saluted Lao Jiu.
After leaving the Qilin Horse Farm, Lao Jiu returned to Longkou Fortress, and then passed it to the underground military factory, and explained the task of building the armor of the Qilin Horse. At the same time, I also took a look at the manufacturing process of Mingguang armor.
After many transformations and expansions, it can now produce about 5,000 sets of Mingguang armor every day. Tang Mo knife production line is the fastest, with tens of thousands every day. The production of bows and arrows has basically stopped, and the main thing is to build arrows, which are the most important strategic materials, and there must be a large amount of storage in the warehouse.
The rest is the construction of the equipment for defending the city, which are all separated, and finally assembled in the imperial city, and after the city wall is built, it will be transported to the city wall. After having the funds, Lao Jiu once again asked people to build a blast furnace underground, and the extinct crater was the best cover.
Nowadays, almost all the minerals of Lao Jiu have been invested in the manufacture of equipment, which has always been in short supply and has been purchased externally. With a large amount of iron ore being mined by players, many weapons are now made of copper instead of iron.
Because the iron ones are much harder than the copper ones, and some modern concepts have been added, the weapons produced are generally a grade higher than the original weapons in the game. Nowadays, any weapon made of iron can reach the silver level.
After more than half a month of exploration, the vein under the Kunpeng nest has also entered stable mining, this is a large gold and copper vein, in addition to the necessary doping in the equipment, the excess gold and copper ore has been stored by Lao Jiu.
The gold and copper veins in Dream City are about to be mined, and if there are no gold and copper veins, then building gold equipment will become a joke, and then it will only be replaced by gold coins, which is also a mandatory restriction in the game.
