Chapter 1040: The brave may fall to death, or they may survive to death
Since the road conditions of the trade routes are improving every day, and the law and order are maintained well, the average caravan can go back and forth once a month, and with a little luck, the money that ordinary players can earn is about four or five hundred gold coins.
Lucky people like Flying Immortals outside the sky, with an experienced regiment leader leading the team, plus no worries about sales, the remuneration they get can at least double on this basis.
So when Tianwai Feixian looked at the system prompt of "You have obtained 4300 gold coins" floating in front of him, his little heart jumped uncontrollably, and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
Is it really 4000+!?
Oh my God!
It only took half a month! What is the exchange rate of gold coins in the black market now? How much is that...... Did I really earn it myself?
Several other people also had the same expressions, and it was only fitting to describe the mood of everyone at the moment with ecstasy, after all, it was one thing to see a bunch of numbers on the accounts, and it was another thing for the gold coins to actually go into their pockets.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh and chatted happily with each other to see what each other had gained.
"This time we have a high profit."
The head of the paladin spoke on the team channel, and everyone was immediately silenced and looked at the head of the group in unison.
"In addition to the fact that the trade routes are getting smoother and smoother, the main reason is this batch of black fragrant wood, everyone knows it, I won't talk nonsense, I want to focus on other things."
The head of the regiment smiled, but his tone slowly became solemn: "I'm not afraid to hit you if I say a word, in the future, the profits of our merchants will never reach such a high level." ”
"Huh? Why? ”
"Leader, is there no black fragrant wood here?"
"If we don't have black fragrant wood, we can find something else, don't you have a way, head leader?"
……
Several people were naturally puzzled when they heard this, and some people couldn't help but be a little anxious, and the paladin raised his hand and motioned for everyone to listen to him patiently.
"The reason is simple, there are too many people on the trade route now,"
The paladin said, sending the two sets of data to the team channel: "You see, the table in front is investigated by someone on the forum, and the back is my own observation and record, the number of samples is different, but the trend is basically the same, what can you see?" ”
Everyone looked carefully, and the two sets of tables were not complicated, and they both wrote the number of caravans that passed through the three forks in the same time period.
Without official data from Runeney City, there must be errors in these statistics, but the general trend can still be seen, that is, the number of caravans has increased every day compared to the previous day, and the rate of increase is getting faster and faster.
"Master, you mean, the competition is fierce?" The Flying Immortal outside the sky frowned beautifully.
"Yes, at this rate, the number of peers on this trade route will be doubled in less than a month, and after two months, even if it is not saturated, it will be about the same,"
The paladin nodded and said: "Of course, what we can see, the old deer has already discovered it, and Rune City will definitely continue to open up sales channels, but the indisputable fact is that in the future, on this trade route, if you want to make a lot of money by quantity and speed, it will not work." ”
The inevitable consequence of fierce competition is the decline in commodity prices, and this trend is inevitable and will come.
The head of the regiment has made it very clear that now he can still get a lot of rewards by relying on his hard work, but in the future, he can really only earn a hard-earned money.
Everyone who had just received a good reward subconsciously resisted the conclusion of the head of the regiment, but reason told them that this was the truth.
There was silence in the team channel for a while, and as the apprentice whom the paladin admired the most, the Flying Immortal outside the sky spoke: "Master, you must have a way, right?" ”
Everyone was refreshed when they heard this, and they all looked at the head of the regiment, and the paladin smiled when he saw this: "I can't say the way, I have some ideas." ”
It turned out that just now, a familiar NPC of the Paladin in Runetera told him that as the news of the establishment of the town of the devout spread, merchants from all walks of life heard the news and fought for their heads, trying to find a way to set up a store at the three forks to invest.
The development potential of the three-way port is actually very large, but as a pass fortress, the military role of the three-way port is far more prominent than the commercial potential, and now it is a toll station at best.
"But once the town of the devout is built, the situation is different,"
The paladin unconsciously clenched his fists, and his voice rose a few degrees: "Looking at the size of those devout NPCs, this town will at least become a small city, and it may become a vice city of Runea City in the future......"
Speaking of this, the paladin paused, and his gaze swept over the crowd: "The town of the devout is full of believers of the three gods, and according to the convention in the game, it is unlikely that a trade area will be opened in the city, and the three-way crossing is the only option, so I decided to take out all my savings and set up a store at the three-way entrance." ”
Hearing this, everyone finally understood the plan of the head of the regiment, and they were all shocked.
What is the price of the store in Rune City now, and you can afford it if there are tens of thousands of gold coins? And the storefronts in those locations, you can't buy them with money.
As if seeing what everyone was thinking, the paladin smiled: "You also know, this kind of thing is not too late, I have a few NPCs here who have good connections, I can contact the people inside Rune City, and it won't be long before the town of the devout and the independent trade area of the three forks will start together, and I have the right of first refusal to buy a storefront." ”
"Really!?"
The Flying Immortal outside the sky said in surprise, and glanced at the companions around him, and when he said this, everyone had already understood what the head of the group meant.
"How much does it cost?" Someone immediately asked.
"The deposit is 30,000 gold coins, and if you settle in the future, you will pay 60,000." The paladin didn't hide it either, and said directly.
A few people couldn't help but gasp in their hearts, 90,000 gold coins? Isn't that more than 1 million yuan converted?
This time, everyone's hot thoughts just now, immediately as if they were poured a basin of cold water, instantly extinguished, this time the money earned by the business made everyone ecstatic, but if you let everyone take it out, you can't bear it.
Everyone is an ordinary person, many of whom are students, and to invest in opening a store means that all the current net worth must be blocked, and some must be used to fill the hole in reality.
The scene was quiet again, and the paladin seemed to have expected this situation, and was not in a hurry, so he just leaned back on the wooden chair, looked at the crowd coming and going on the street, and fell into thought.
"Commander, are you not going to run for business in the future?" A moment later, someone asked.
"Well, there's no future,"
The paladin did not shy away from it: "I plan to do in-depth tasks on the side of the Golden King City after I take over this store, make my contacts more stable, and prepare for the future supply of goods." ”
The Paladin has an A-tier quest line in the Golden King's City, which was supposed to get a lot of good equipment, but he took a different path and decisively forwent the final reward and instead established a strong friendship with the NPCs related to the mission.
Many of the rare goods traded by their own caravans were obtained by the paladins through this relationship.
