Chapter 6: The Adventurer
I never expected it.
In Lu Cheng's imagination, after using the invitation, it should be a flash of golden light, and the recruited citizens will immediately appear in front of his eyes, and the previous citizens, whether they have skills or not, are not directly refreshed in the center of his camp.
And this time, it's not like this, it's actually coming by sea, and it doesn't seem like you can get there in a day or two, isn't this a cheat, and you are counting on the rapid accumulation of strength in the early stage to crush other players.
But wait, why by sea? Could it be that the invited citizens are starting from the system city? So where is the system city and what level is it?
This game is obviously not as simple as it seems.,I thought it was all players farming and developing together.,Inferred from this,It's very likely that there will be a system of forces.。
Lu Cheng didn't have time to worry about gains and losses, and it was a loss that the citizens he invited didn't come immediately, but his current advantage was still very huge.
The construction of the fence of the camp is still progressing in an orderly manner, with sufficient funds and material support, and more than 100 citizens have been dispatched to join the team to repair the wall, and it is expected that the wall will be completed in two days.
After more than a day, the number of citizens in Lu Cheng's camp increased to nearly 1,000, and Lu Cheng learned about the situation of skilled citizens in the camp, and specially found time to count the number of skilled citizens now.
1 for advanced skills: 1 for farmers.
5 Intermediate skills: 1 blacksmith, 1 farmer, 1 fisherman, 1 tailor, 1 adventurer
28 beginners: 3 blacksmiths, 8 farmers, 2 fishermen, 2 breeders, 3 tailors, 2 carpenters, 1 pharmacist, 3 cooks, 3 adventurers, and 1 alchemist.
The number of blacksmiths has increased to 4, and the maximum number of iron swords per hour is more than 3, and the production of iron nails, farm tools, tools, and other daily necessities needs to be produced as the scale of production increases, and the production of iron armor also requires the use of iron sheets, so the production of iron blades is maintained.
The number of tailors has also increased to four, including one intermediate tailor, and the output of iron armor has also reached 2 pieces per hour, and the remaining capacity is used to make various daily necessities and tools.
The number of farmers has increased to 10, and the farmland has expanded to 500 pieces, and because the number of chefs has reached 3, it can process up to 6 groups of potato flour per hour, but because after a period of time, other players have gradually mastered the potato planting technology, and the market for potato flour has been greatly affected.
Lu Cheng estimates that this player can consume up to 5 groups of potato flour per hour, and the output of potato flour per hour in the market has exceeded 10 groups, and there will be more and more, it is estimated that the market of potato flour will be saturated in 1 day, and the competition for price reduction is imminent.
Taking this into account, Lu Cheng set the output of potato flour at 3 groups per hour, and the rest of the capacity was used to produce other ordinary food for sale, and the raw materials were purchased from the trading center to earn some price difference.
Overall, the hourly gold coin income is about 4 gold, and there will not be much room for growth with the current trend. Lu Cheng successively purchased a lot of necessary resources, drawings and recipes in the trading center, and now there are 151 gold coins left.
Because the expansion has not stopped, the number of militia has reached 80, which is also considered an extremely powerful player. Lu Cheng pays more attention to the price of weapons and equipment, the current price of iron swords has actually risen to 30 silver coins, and the iron armor has also risen to 35 silver coins, and the price of a set is as high as 65 silver coins, and the equipment is not a problem if you buy it, daily maintenance and damage replacement need to consume funds, even if you buy it, you may not be able to afford it.
However, Lu Cheng discovered something strange.
When did the province have 4 more adventurers? What is the profession of an adventurer and what can he do?
Lu Cheng asked 4 adventurers to come over, led by a sturdy young man in his early 30s, who immediately made a chest stroking salute after seeing Lu Cheng.
"The villain Mike has seen the honorable lord, may I ask what the lord commands?"
Huh, Mike? Microphone? The painting style is different from that of other skilled citizens.
"I saw a few of you adventurers on the list of citizens, so I asked you to come over and find out the situation, what can you adventurers do for me?" Lu Cheng asked bluntly.
Mike immediately replied: "My lord, we adventurers are all skilled warriors, who can take the initiative to help you eliminate threats near your territory, and can also do what we can for you after accepting a hire, and our spending in your territory will also promote the economic development of your territory, but adventurers like to wander around, and if we find a better opportunity, we may also venture elsewhere." The four of us brothers were attracted by the rapid development of your territory, but we found that there was nothing to do after we arrived, so we were planning to leave your territory, so please don't mind. ”
I see, to put it bluntly, they are a group of mercenaries, which means that they are a force that is not controlled by the player. But why do you have to say you want to leave to your face? Lu Cheng decided to try their strength first, and if the strength was indeed relatively strong, then he had to find a way to keep them no matter what.
"I see, I'm sorry for neglecting you." Lu Cheng also made a chest stroking ceremony.
"Your Excellency, my lord." Mike and the other three adventurers immediately replied.
Lu Cheng said again: "Just now you said that adventurers all have a skill, and it just so happens that I have also learned some martial arts, I don't know if I can teach you a lesson or two?" ”
Mike also replied dryly: "I can't say it, if the lord is interested, I can talk to you." ”
"Okay, let's get started."
After saluting each other, Lu Cheng and the adventurer named Mike both drew their weapons, Lu Cheng used a high-quality steel sword purchased from the exchange for 3 gold coins, with a snow-white slender sword body and a sharp and smooth blade, while the adventurer named Mike used a bronze short sword.
After discovering the gap between each other's weapons, Mike also blushed, the four of them are not weak among their peers, but they are too strapped for money, and they use inferior weapons, his bronze sword is the best among the four brothers, but compared to the lord's high-quality steel sword, it can only be regarded as garbage, after all, the bronze short sword can be bought on the exchange for only 80 copper.
Although there was a gap in weapons, Mike believed that his strength was enough to make up for it, so he immediately adjusted his mentality to meet the first sword that fell.
"When~"
Lu Cheng is not a character who likes to engage in that set of gentlemanly style, the first to rush up is a vertical split, Mike swings his sword to block, and the place where the two swords collide is splashed, Lu Cheng's fine steel sword is obviously much harder than the bronze sword, and the sword body of the bronze short sword is immediately knocked out of a gap.
Mike pushed hard, unloaded the fine steel sword on his sword, and swept it with a horizontal slash, Lu Cheng immediately changed the split to block, and successfully blocked the blow, but Mike's strength was obviously greater than Lu Cheng, although he blocked the blow, but he was also unsteady and slid a few steps sideways to unload the momentum.
Before Lu Cheng could stand firm, the unforgiving Mike slashed over, and Lu Cheng estimated that he would definitely fall if he blocked like this, so he immediately activated the heavy attack skill, and immediately felt that there was an inexhaustible force in his body.
"When~"
It was another violent collision, because of the skill, Lu Cheng was not repelled by the impact this time, and took advantage of the opportunity that Mike was a little stunned because of the unexpected, kicked it over, and kicked Mike back a few steps.
Mike looked down at the shoe prints on his chest, and said seriously: "Lord Lord is really extraordinary, I'm going to prepare to use skills, please be careful." ”
"Storm of Blades!"
"Your sister's Blade Storm!" Lu Cheng had 100,000 mud horses galloping past in his heart, "I just want to test if your strength is as powerful as you say, is it necessary for you to use this kind of trick that sounds like taking people's lives?!" What about a good exchange? How did you cut people? ”
No matter what, Lu Cheng can only carry it hard, and it is a big deal to hang up once.
When~When~When~When~......
Lu Cheng felt that the high-quality steel sword in his hand had been adjusted to vibration mode, and the blade storm swept on the blade and burst out continuous sparks, Lu Cheng felt that he could no longer hold on......
"Pop~Click~"
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and the almost numb hand suddenly loosened, and the scene of sparks flying when the angle grinder was cutting also stopped.
What's the situation?
Mike, who noticed the anomaly, also stopped, and then all eyes were focused on Mike's bronze short sword, oh no, it should be called a bronze broken saw now......
I saw that this poor bronze short sword was violently collided with Lu Cheng's high-quality steel sword dozens of times, and the side of the sword body was already densely covered with cracks, like a saw, and now the short sword is even shorter, and nearly half of the sword body has disappeared, obviously, the bronze short sword is overwhelmed and broken.
Mike looked at the completely discarded weapon in his hand for a moment.
"Boss, please don't use this trick, you see that every time you use this trick, you have to destroy a weapon, we haven't saved a few dollars until now, and we have used it to change weapons for you!" The adventurers who were watching the battle from the side finally couldn't help but shout.
"But... But this is a bronze short sword, is the blacksmith you are looking for black-hearted, how can it be scrapped at one time? Mike said with a red face.
"Old Carter told you a long time ago that this weapon can't withstand your skills, and don't pretend to be stunned in front of the lord, if you don't turn half of the sword, it will break!" The adventurer ruthlessly exposed the old bottom, and then said to Lu Cheng, "Lord Lord, I have always been like this, if you can't go three times, you will use the sword blade storm to show off, even if you have a wooden sword in your hand, you dare to put it indiscriminately against the robbers who use the iron sword." ”
Lu Cheng: ......
