After the Shadow Dancer had explained everything, a sailor walked in. "We're here."
The Shadow Dancer looked at the people strangely, "Where are you?" ”
"You'll find out when you come out." Matsumoto Masaga was the first to step out of the cabin.
The Shadow Dancer was dumbfounded as he emerged from the cabin, not in front of an endless sea, but in front of a giant port. Nearly 10,000 warships, large and small, were neatly lined up in the harbor, a large number of workers were busy up and down on the wharf, and people were coming in and out of the warehouses.
"This ...... This...... Is this land? ”
Seeing the surprised expression of the shadow dancer, Matsumoto Masaga smirked. "It's not land, it's an island."
"Island?" The Shadow Dancer clearly didn't believe it.
Matsumoto Masaga said proudly, "This is the land that our great god Tensho created for us on the sea. ”
"What?"
"What? Don't believe me? Matsumoto Masaga smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, you can't say a word or two about this matter, anyway, you just need to know that this island is between China and Japan." ”
"In between? Isn't that a storm belt? ”
A Japanese man next to Matsumoto Masaga immediately said, "Nonsense. Chinese warships run back and forth all day and night, and we don't put the island in the storm belt, it has long been discovered. This is built by our great god, who has carved out such an area in the storm belt that is not affected by the storm, and we can use this place as a base for advancing and attacking Isengar in the future. ”
"It's great!" Ren Jiu and the Shadow Dancer unconsciously exclaimed.
Matsumoto Masaga said: "This island is our reward for completing a high-level mission, the island is shaped like a cog, and every depression is a port. So the whole island can dock a large number of warships. And these protruding sharp corners are all batteries, and there are dozens of huge cannons on each battery, and whoever dares to approach them is guaranteed to have no return. ”
"It turns out that you have such a good base, and now you are not afraid that you will not be able to defeat Isenger."
"Of course, the end of the Purple Sun is coming! Hahahaha! The Japanese all burst out laughing.
Isinger at this time. Sumi is telling us about her solution. In order to maintain this supremacy, we have to ensure that the total number of cities is more than 20, and there are currently 17 cities in the guild with the largest number of cities in China besides us, although the 17 cities together are less than half the size of Issinger, but the small city is also a city!
The tables in the conference hall were moved to the edge of the room. Sumi stood on the map and explained to us. "Everyone, pay attention here, this is a city captured by the Iron Cross, does it feel special?"
I saw that the city on the map was right in the middle of the mountains, and the 12 long mountains formed a radial sun, and those mountains were the rays of light, and the city was the disk of the main body of the sun. There are canyons between these mountains, and 12 mountains are just 12 canyons.
Rose suddenly asked, "You don't want to cheat, do you?" ”
Su Mei smiled evilly and asked, "Why not?" ”
The eagle is more honest and does not understand their cheating ideas. "What do you mean by cheating?"
Rose explained, "Watch here. The 12 mountains are distributed in a reflective shape to enclose the 12 canyons, and we only need to build two walls in the canyons, and the space between the two walls can become a city. Although the city that came out of this way is very small. But it's also a city, and there's a big city standing in the way behind it. No matter which side is attacked, reinforcements will be very easy. A total of 12 satellite cities can be created from 12 canyons, and with the huge barracks city behind them, there are 13 cities. We already have 5 cities, and adding 13 is 18. Just more than the most guilds in the city. ”
Eagle looked at the map and finally understood what this so-called cheating was. Ah Wei measured the map with his hand and said, "Isn't this place too small?" ”
Su Mei said: "If it is not big enough, you can pull the wall a little, as long as the wall in the satellite city is not against the outer wall of the central city." ”
Ah Wei looked at it himself and said: "Even if it is built like this, a city is only 10 square kilometers at most!" It's less than one-eightieth of the first floor of Esinger. ”
Sumi protested: "Esinger can't be counted. Isenger is a multi-layered structure, and ordinary cities can't be counted like this, and Isenger is the magic capital after all! The multi-storey construction area of the entire Issinger has accumulated more than 3,800 square kilometers. ”
"But 10 square kilometers is too small! The miniature city that the Koreans promised to sell us is still more than 30 square kilometers! Even the village is no less than 12 square kilometers! ”
I stopped them from arguing. "Be quiet. Actually, I don't think it's complicated. Small cities do have many problems, the most important problem is the waste of personnel, but at present, in order to ensure this hegemony, it is better to do what Su Mei said. ”
Su Mei immediately said happily: "Brother Ziri is still courageous." ”
"But ......," I paused and said, "Small cities can't be built too small, otherwise others will blow up the city with a few shots, and at present, as long as the largest caliber shells go down, it will be 0.3 square kilometers of destruction area, and a few salvos of 10 square kilometers will be over, absolutely not." ”
Su Mei immediately shouted, "Brother Ziri! Why do you cut fifty boards each? So what do you mean? ”
"Of course cities must be built, but they can't be built stupidly." I said to the NPC next to me, "Open the three-dimensional map." The map quickly rose and a translucent stereoscopic map appeared in front of everyone. Well, look at the mountains. ”
"Is there something wrong with the mountain?" Rose, they looked at it for a long time and didn't figure out what I meant.
"Don't you think these mountains are big?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Seeing that they still had inexplicable expressions, I simply said them all. "If these mountains are bigger than the canyons, why do we build cities in canyons? Since it is a satellite city, its main role is to protect the main city behind. What could be better to protect a city than a city fort? ”
Rose asked me in surprise, "You mean to build the city on the mountain." And then turn these cities into complete batteries? ”
I nodded: "These mountains are obviously lifted out of the earth's crust, and the mountain walls are completely straight up and down, where can you go to find such an easy to defend and difficult to attack place?" Just flatten the top of the hill and then build a city on the top of the hill, fill the city with cannons, and don't leave the exit of the mountain. You can use the teleportation array to get in and out. ”
"That's a good way." Su Mei said: "But just using the teleportation array is still not enough, I will build yì like this." We made a vertical passage in the mountain to a depth below ground level, and then turned a corner to connect from the underground to the central city. This vertical shaft can be used to create a large elevator using our anti-gravity device, which is easier to go up and down, and there is also a staircase left next to the elevator. If there is a problem with the elevator, you can climb the stairs. The elevator and staircase don't need to be too big, the elevator can only transport 12 fully armed knights at a time, and the staircase lane is about the same as 3 horses side by side. In this way, our men can come and go at will, and even if the enemy enters the passage, this kind of place cannot be formed in formation, and we can hold it with only a few people. ”
"Yes, yes, just do as you say. Then the project will be handed over to you. I said to Su Mei: "We have to act quickly, we must finish it before we sell these cities." ”
Su Mei said: "You can rest assured of this. Such a small city can be built in a few hours, and we have steel claws in terms of passages. The excavation should also be very simple, but it is more laborious to level the top of the mountain. However, as long as there are enough people, it should be completed quickly
"You can rush to Tianyu City to pick the manpower, the project over there is basically over, you can just pull some NPC laborers over."
"No problem, you're welcome!" Sumi turned around and ran. It seems that the motivation is still high.
"Now that the city problem has been solved, the next problem is to sell the city, so everyone quickly finds a way to send out the information through various methods to see who wants to buy the city."
Ah Wei suddenly asked, "What if those guilds find people to come in and buy those cities themselves?" ”
Before I could speak, Rose spoke first. "What we want is money, not the city, whoever buys it is the same. If they want to buy their city for money, we don't mind. ”
"Understood."
"It's nothing, let's do our best!"
After leaving the conference hall, none of the leaders of our guild were idle, they all trotted out to run errands, and I myself was very busy. But our hard work is well worth it, because the labor is about to pay for a lot of money.
We have sent people to all the public channels and forums of "Zero" to send messages and publicity, and Red Moon also spent 1000 crystal coins to buy a broadcast opportunity in major cities in the game, and the teleportation arrays and city gates in major cities are plastered with our promotional advertisements, as long as people online should basically see these news. In addition to these, those occupied cities are also open to players to visit, so that everyone can evaluate whether they like the city or not, anyway, those hostile guilds will not be able to enter our city for 3 days, and the open city is absolutely safe. I also personally posted notices of the transfer of the city in each of these cities.
Advertising bombing, like strategic bombing, is about complete coverage, and after our carpet book advertising bombing, all guilds throughout China basically know about our city auctions. After a day of intense preparation, we finally started the auction at 8 p.m. the next day.
This is the first time that Issinger has opened it to outsiders, but we still screened it and only allowed those who participated in the auction to enter. In the advertisement, we asked all those who wanted to participate to gather outside the teleportation array in Cloud City, and if there were enough 20 people, someone would send them over through the guò teleportation array. After leaving the teleportation array, these big buyers were overwhelmed by Issinger's awe-inspiring momentum, and they kept looking left and right along the way. The auction venue was Issinger's 10,000-person auditorium, which could accommodate 100,000 people without the help of hyperspace, and almost instantly stunned everyone. The distance from the teleportation array to the auditorium made them feel intimidating, and entering the auditorium was shocking, most of them had never seen such a huge building. And it's so luxuriously repaired.
The auction officially began at 8 p.m. At this time, everyone has just finished eating, and it is basically the time when the number of people online is the largest. The auction objects are all Chinese guilds, and most of them are small guilds. There are guilds that don't have a city that desperately want a city, especially those that have built a city but haven't survived a monster attack. But those old big guilds are also here, including the ethereal Blood Alliance and our old friend the Northern Alliance.
Rose walked up to the podium and quieted the order of the venue for a while, and then said, "Hello everyone, I am the financial director of the Frost Rose Alliance, and I will preside over this auction today. I know you're here for those cities. The guilds that did not have cities and those who built cities but were destroyed by monsters, today your dreams have hopefully come true. Of course, it depends on whether you are willing to pay a reasonable price for your dreams. All right. No more nonsense. Now the rules are announced. This auction will be auctioned according to the size of the city, from small to large, and we will display the location of the city on this screen. ”
A map suddenly appeared on the wall behind the rose, with some information dynamically displayed on it.
"You can also see a diorama of the city."
Suddenly, a three-dimensional model of the city appeared on the rose's head, on which the structure of the city could be clearly seen.
"I'm going to explain the characteristics of these cities and then give you a reserve price. Everyone has a bidder in their hands, and pressing it once is to add 100,000 crystal coins. If you add more than 100,000 at a time, shout it out loud, but be aware that the number you shout must be an integer multiple of 100,000. If you press the bidder's guild name, it will be displayed on this screen for easy attention. Well, here's the city for the first auction. ”
A red dot suddenly appeared on the map on the screen in the back. Rose pointed at the spot with a long whip. "This is where the city is, and this one above me is a three-dimensional diagram of him. This city-level village has an area of 150,000 square kilometers. There are so many ...... in the leveling area around the city," Rose said after a big introduction: "Okay, this is the situation of the city, the city has a reserve price of 500,000 crystal coins, and the bidding has begun." ”
"2 million." These people are crazy enough to open up 4 times the price as soon as they come up.
“……”
"5 million."
“……”
"8 million."
"8 million once, 8 million twice, 8 million three times. Okay, the city is acquired by the Snake Alliance, please inject the funds into the account specified by the system, and the auction system will automatically complete the transaction for the auction we have applied for. ”
I really didn't expect the competition to be so fierce, a small village of 15 square kilometers sold for 8 million crystal coins, I thought this kind of small village could sell for 2 million is about the same, I really didn't expect it to be 8 million, what is the profit of this percent?
The bidding in the second city was even more crazy, and finally it was sold for 9 million crystal coins, and the next city was more expensive than the other, and 67 villages sold a total of 730 million crystal coins, and I felt like my heart was about to jump out.
The bidding for micro-cities was not as fierce as in villages, with an average of only about 17 million per city, and 23 micro-cities sold a total of 391 million crystal coins.
In the small cities, there were even fewer bidders, and in the end, an average of 21 million crystal coins per city, and a total of 630 million crystal coins were sold in 30 cities.
Medium-sized cities have been relatively large cities since then, and they are all big guilds. Don't think that the big guilds will have the money to be generous, in fact, it is these guilds that really pick the door. Small guilds are often for some people to have fun and spend money without care, while big guilds have to be careful with their budgets. The first medium-sized city was sold for 30 million crystal coins, and no one added the price after that. A total of 990 million crystal coins were sold in 33 medium-sized cities.
We only have 11 large cities, but excluding the city that is going to be used to build the city network, only 10 cities actually participate in the auction. This time, our reserve price is set at 15 million, and those big banks are quietly suppressing the price, and the result is that we are shocked, the price of large cities is 31 million crystal coins per seat, which is only 1 million crystal coins more than medium-sized cities, which is really a failure! In the end, these 10 big cities were sold for 310 million crystal coins, which felt a bit of a loss!
In the end, there is only one mega city left, the Bright Alliance's Bright City. This megacity is the third largest city in China, with the exception of Issinger and Steel City. The temptation of this mega city is very big for those large guilds, and as soon as Rose shouted the reserve price of 20 million, someone immediately responded.
"40 million crystal coins." The president of a guild shouted.
"80 million crystal coins." The people of the Northern Alliance have been silent from the beginning until now, and now they have finally broken out.
"100 million." Feng Yin also screamed, but I promised him that as long as he bought the city, he could get a 20% discount when he actually paid in the end.
"150 million."
"180 million."
"230 million."
"300 million!" Feng Yin Miao actually fought against the people of the Northern Alliance, and no one would let anyone.
The people of the Northern Alliance gritted their teeth: "400 million!" ”
"410 million." Feng Yin Miao didn't seem to intend to admit defeat.
"410 million and 100 million."
"410 million and 200,000."
"410 million and 300,000."
“……”
The two sides actually started rogue tactics, and the other guilds did not dare to intervene and shout. The significance of this mega city is indeed very important, but everyone knows that this thing is worth less than 400 million crystal coins, and the two guilds are completely competing. Hongyue stood next to me and wanted to shout Feng Yin is ethereal and not easy to shout, his position is not very sure.
The shouting continued until 600 million Finally, no one shouted, and the people of the Northern Alliance looked at Feng Yin with a misty look, and their eyes were full of arrogance, but others looked at them with a fool's look, and a super city was not worth 600 million crystal coins!
Anyway, the cities are still selling, and all but the big ones are selling well. All cities have a total income of 3.651 billion crystal coins. The system automatically deducted 20% of the tax, and as a result, we got 2.9208 billion crystal coins, which is a big deal. No wonder people say that real estate makes money, and now it is confirmed that real estate is indeed a profiteering industry. In order to obtain these cities, I spent a total of 117.85 million crystal coins to recycle those cities, as well as the investment and labor costs in those battles, and I actually used almost 200 million in this battle, which means that the net profit is only 2,602.95 million crystal coins. But that's pretty impressive.
The auction was completed on our side of the city, and the city construction on the Sumei side was also completed at the same time. The 12 satellite cities were built very quickly, and the central city was already intact, as long as the walls were raised and the damaged buildings in the city were repaired. This new city we named the City of Honor. Because it was built to keep our supremacy, it was called the City of Honor. If it wasn't realistic to name the 12 cities outside the city one by one, we simply numbered them. The one directly north of the City of Honor is Honor 1, and then the Honor 2 in clockwise order until the 12th. In the future, this will be our boot camp, and new players will move to this place to train in the future, and only after passing will they be sent to cities that need to increase their manpower.
It's much easier for us to get rid of these cities, partly because we have more money, and partly because we don't have time to defend without worrying about those cities being attacked.
