Chapter 161: Reviving Dragon Teng City
87_87389 "Yo, the little city lord has completed his career promotion so quickly, what a gratifying congratulations!" What are you doing with me? â
"Grandpa Lu Qin, Master Testin sent me to Wolong Mountain to discuss the arrears with Pixiu, I came to inform you, Pixiu has agreed to postpone the payment of the arrears until tomorrow, and it will be paid in installments."
"Really? Hey, I'm also brainless, why didn't I think of sending you over to discuss with him, your father played it all over in the first place. That's great news, but what about next year? Hey, stinky boy, this Longteng City also belongs to you, you have to pay a lot of attention, after all these years of tossing, the old man also understands, I am a craftsman, I am an expert in building a city, but running a city is a layman, but your current experience is not enough, so I can't completely hand over the management of the city to you, I will give you the position of deputy city lord, and every decision you make must be implemented with my consent. â
"Okay, I know, Grandpa Lu Qin, what rights does the deputy city lord have?"
"Except for the can't dissolve the gang, the others are similar to the city lord."
"Gang? You mean I can recruit someone to join Dragon City? â
"Of course, this is your right and your obligation, with the decline of Longteng City's economy in recent years, the population has also begun to lose, and there is an urgent need for personnel replenishment."
"Okay, I see, by the way, do we have any other special functional buildings in Dragon Teng City besides the Magic Temple?"
"Of course, there is a scripture pavilion behind the city lord's mansion, and the person in charge of the scripture pavilion is the god-level calligrapher Wang Muzhi, who can copy the skill book."
"Copy the skill book??" Such awesome skills? "Then what level of skill books can he copy?"
"Anything below the god level can be copied, but it is not cost-effective to copy the skills below the spirit level."
"Anything else?"
"The rest is found in all the major cities. However, at the beginning, your father felt that he was losing money, so he gave priority to upgrading the pharmacy to the top, and now the pharmacy is already a holy medicine shop, which sells very rare pills, which can be regarded as a specialty. â
"Okay. Then Grandpa Lu Qin, you are busy first, I will think about it and see how Longteng City should develop in the future. â
Out of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Nian has been thinking about this question in his heart, how to prosper the economy of Longteng City at this stage, although the regional location is relatively advantageous. But at this stage, the level of players is still very low, and they will not come here to level up at all, and because there is no teleportation array to Qinglong City, it is very inconvenient to go back and forth, and it seems that they can only start from the Magic Temple and the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in a short time.
Li Nian came to the Magic Temple. Ask Anthony about the possibility of the opening of the Magic Temple.
"Of course you can, the Magic Temple is originally an open facility, as long as you pay the money, everyone can come in and practice, and the more people come, the greater the probability that I will create new skills."
After hearing Li Nian's question, Anthony said with a smile.
"Creation zĂ o skills? Isn't that the same as Wang Muzhi? â
"Little one, you're wrong. I am completely different from Wang Shusheng, I am a creator skill, and he is a copying skill. â
"Oh. Understood, you create zĂ o skills, and then let Wang Muzhi copy them, is that what you mean? â
"Drink, you can understand it that way."
Damn, that's awesome. But there is still a lack of a salesperson, plus sales. A perfect industrial chain has been formed, and Anthony has created skills. Wang Muzhi mass-produced, Li Nian sold it, and the players who bought the skill book went to the Magic Temple to accelerate the upgrade, and truly lengthened and widened the industrial chain.
"However, due to the disrepair of the magic temple, there are less than 20 practice rooms that can be rented, and except for your father's one, which has been repaired in the middle, the other practice rooms have been partially missing due to lack of maintenance, and the proficiency increase is only 3 times, but the function of reducing the cooldown time of 1/3 of the skill is not reduced."
"Okay, I see, Grandpa Anthony, can your brilliant aura be turned off?"
"Close?"
"If you can't turn it off, can you specify who can be affected by the Brilliant Aura and who won't?"
"Oh, you're treacherous." Anthony also seemed to understand what Li Nian meant. "I can turn off the halo on my own initiative."
Anthony's brilliant aura can increase the magic recovery speed by 200%, which is bound to increase the practice efficiency of players practicing in the magic temple, but if the aura is turned off, people who come to practice will need to use more magic potions to improve efficiency, if Li Nian adjusts the price of the medicine in the holy medicine workshop a little lower, even if a bottle is 5 copper plates lower, the sales volume is estimated to increase a lot.
"Okay, that's such a happy decision."
Originally, Li Nian planned to increase the price, but since the proficiency increase rate of the Magic Temple was only 3 times, Li Nian did not change it.
Walking out of the Magic Temple, Li Nian came to the Holy Medicine Workshop, the Holy Medicine Workshop looked brilliant and majestic from the outside, but after walking in, Li Nian was dumbfounded. Li Nian pushed it gently, and the door fell directly to the ground, startling Li Nian, and when he looked up, there were cobwebs everywhere, and the shelves were empty.
Not long after, Sun Miaoshou came in from outside, and was a little surprised when he saw Li Nian, "Stinky boy, why did you come here." â
Although Sun Miaoshou concealed it well, Li Nian still felt a trace of loneliness and sadness in his eyes.
It was indeed the most spectacular building facility in Dragon City, but now that it has become like this, it will be a little sad for anyone else.
"Grandpa Sun, I'm here in the hope that you can reopen the Holy Medicine Workshop."
"Open up? I didn't want to, but what's the use of opening it, now there are fewer and fewer people in Longteng City, no one will come to buy medicine at all, such a big house, the monthly maintenance fee is not a small amount. â
"Don't worry, Grandpa Sun, believe me, soon this situation will change, I assure you that it won't be long before Longteng City will return to its former prosperity."
"Really?"
"Of course. But as the old saying goes, if you are in full bloom, the spring breeze will come. I can summon people over, but we need to use some characteristics to keep them and make them repeat customers, otherwise they can only prosper for a while. Not for long. â
"I naturally understand this truth, old man, I will go and recruit a few apprentices, I just developed an elixir a few years ago - spiritual cultivation, after using it, it can increase the cultivation speed by 20% in 1 hour. If you have time to practice more, this elixir should be very popular with adventurers. â
"Not should, but definitely!" Hear Sun Miaoshou's words. Li Nian said in surprise, "Grandpa Sun, how difficult is it to refine this elixir of yours?" What is the cost of materials? â
"It's not difficult, but this elixir needs to be a little bit of Tianji grass, and the yield is not very large. And the maturity period is very long, calculated, the cost of a furnace of pills is around 500 silver coins, the number of finished products is about 10, and almost 40-50 furnaces can be produced in a month. â
"In this way, the price of that spiritual elixir will be set at 2,000, and it will be raised if necessary in the future."
"Much, how much? 2000ďź Stinky boy. The cost of our furnace is only 500 silver coins, and it will only cost 50 silver coins when you spread out one, and you want to sell it for 2000? I'm crazy about money. â
"Huh. Grandpa Sun, you are an expert in refining medicine, but you are a layman, and the players who came to our station during this period are 'testicles', they are not bad for money, not to mention that things are scarce and expensive. You won't and I will, that's our biggest reliance. â
"Okay. The old man seems to understand why Lu Qin can't take care of Longteng City anymore, because his heart is not as black as yours! â
"Grandpa Sun. Do you praise me or scold me? â
"Of course it's to praise you, or not, old man, I'll follow you for a while, and if there is anything else to explain, if not, I'll go back to refining medicine."
"By the way, Grandpa Sun, you have been refining a little more big magic potion recently, it is estimated that the demand will be very large, and the price will be 2 silver coins and 80 copper coins, which is 20 copper coins cheaper than those in Qinglong City."
"I see." As he spoke, he walked back, his steps were hurried, and he didn't notice that his shoes fell off, indeed, there are countless pharmacies on the mainland, but there are only a handful of people who can rise to the Holy Medicine Workshop, the Holy Medicine Workshop is his life's work, and it is also his pride, now that he has the opportunity to revive the Holy Medicine Workshop, how can he not be excited!
After reaching an agreement with Sun Miaoshou, Li Nian came to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, just like the Holy Medicine Workshop, the quaint building that looked very magnificent, now there was dust and cobwebs scattered everywhere, but it was a little better than the Holy Medicine Workshop, not to the point of closing.
The door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was not closed, Li Nian saw a middle-aged man in gray concentrating on practicing calligraphy, Li Nian did not disturb him, waited for nearly twenty minutes, and after putting away the pen, Li Nian walked in.
"Little guy, what are you doing here, do you want to learn calligraphy from me to cultivate your sentiments?" After seeing Li Nian, Wang Muzhi said with a smile.
"Hehe, boy, I don't think I have any talent in this area, so forget it, I came to Uncle Wang this time to discuss with you the follow-up of the library pavilion."
"Development? Hehe, it's all dilapidated like this, what kind of development is there to talk about. After hearing Li Nian's words, Wang Muzhi was also lonely.
"Uncle Wang's words are wrong, although the station has declined a lot now, but we can't give up, if we even give up ourselves, no one will be able to save Longteng City."
"That's what I said, but that's the way it is, and it's a shame that the old man takes pleasure in words and has no desires, otherwise he might have left Longteng City like those neighbors."
"......, Uncle Wang, thank you for your contribution to Dragon Teng City, I thank you for my father, and at the same time feel very guilty for the decline of Dragon Teng City, but please believe me, give me a year, I will definitely make a change in the status quo of Dragon Teng City. I came to you this time in the hope that you can cheer up, give full play to your strengths, and turn tourists who come to Dragon City into customers, and then customers into regular customers. â
"Tourists? The space spar of the teleportation array in Dragon Teng City has long been out of energy, and it is located in the depths of the Graveyard of the Gods, which is isolated from the outside world, where are the tourists? â
"You don't have to worry about this, Uncle Wang, can you tell me what specialties you have here?"
"Specialty? You mean skill books, right? Over the years, with the decline of Longteng City, I will concentrate on practicing words when I have nothing to do, and the skill book has been copied a lot, but because it cannot be communicated with the outside world, high-level materials are very scarce, so the grade of the copied skill book is not too high. â
"Not too high? What grade are they? â
"It's all below the spirit level, it's all on the shelves, you can see for yourself." (To be continued).
