Technological transformation is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and we can only hope that the researchers of the association can think of a solution.

Shura Ziyi walked up to me and said, "I'm going to Clark to order guild badges and various emblems, is there anything I need to deal with by the way?" ”

"Yes! It just so happens that I have something to ask Clark for help with. Do you know the characteristics of NPC equipment? ”

Shura Ziyi said: "I asked about NPC equipment a few days ago. ”

"How did it turn out?"

"There are two kinds of NPC equipment, one is called special equipment. This kind of equipment can only be worn by NPCs, and the other is called general equipment, just like these on us belong to general equipment. In other words, players can use all the equipment NPCs that can be used, but the equipment players of NPCs may not be able to use it. ”

"Clark, can he craft NPC gear?"

"Yes."

"Then you go and tell Clark to ask him to help build the equipment of the Temple Guard, and I'll take care of the cost. Also, help me order a few sets of these. "I asked Scott to give the equipment to Shura Ziyi." My demon servant doesn't have enough equipment right now, so you asked Clark to make 10 sets like this. ”

"Then I'll go first."

"Yes! There you go. ”

I also left the port after Shura Ziyi left, and the various parts of the guild are now quite reasonable, and I don't have much to do. In the next few days, everyone was busy with the construction of the three cities, the goods of the Northern Alliance and Atlantis arrived, and the construction work began in various places. The armor of the Ringtone Knights was quickly completed, and my 21 Ringtone Knights all had the same equipment, but the mounts could not be unified for the time being, but fortunately, I had a lot of magic pets or something. 20 ordinary bell knights use heavy armored dragons, Scott is the leader and needs a special point, I give him my steel claws to use, anyway, I have a night shadow, I really can't I can still ride a dragon.

Today is the 16th, the materials needed for urban construction are basically complete, and the few who are not looking for them have also been contacted, but now there is still a problem that affects our development, that is, labor. Isenger is already a megacity, and the steel city is bigger than Isengard, and although it is not necessary to build walls and defenses, the amount of work is still not small. Although the area of Tianyu City on the European side is not large, it is being expanded recently, and because the Iron Cross Army wants to buy steel from us, the teleportation array of Tianyu City has been expanded into a large teleportation array, and a special application has been made for the construction of a cargo channel. The cities built by players are basically 4-level teleportation arrays, these teleportation arrays can only transport players and some personal items, if you want to teleport NPCs other than the player's magic pets and demon servants, you must have a 3-level teleportation array, if you want to teleport a large number of goods, you must have a 2-level teleportation array, and if you want to teleport a large volume or a large number of goods, you must have a 1-level teleportation array. Issinger's teleportation arrays are basically level 2 teleportation arrays, and there are some level 1 arrays in a few places, while the transnational teleportation array is a special teleportation array, which does not limit the teleportation items and distance.

According to this calculation, the amount of construction in each city is very large, and we are not enough to rely on the NPCs and guild players that can be mobilized in the city. Everyone thought of a lot of ways but it was not very good, and in the end, Xiao Yao proposed yì to recruit workers. "Zero" is not a simple game of fighting and killing, and building is also a kind of fun, otherwise the "SimCity" series of games would not be so popular. There are a large number of non-combat players in Zero, and these people are all practicing life professions, especially the many craftsmen of all kinds, and it would be a good idea to hire these people. Anyway, NPC craftsmen in the city also cost money, so it's cheaper for players. Everyone agreed that the plan was very good, and I was naturally promoted to the position of head of recruitment.

Pulling Rose and Bingbing to Cloud City, being the lord of the city is a bit of a cow fork, we have a job fair in the hall of the original Temple of Light, other guilds are not as big as us. More than 200 guards were mobilized from the city defense team to maintain order outside the temple, and there were Vina's temple guards watching inside the temple anyway. I chose this place to hold a job fair, firstly, considering that there were more people in the main city of the system, and secondly, we did not dare to go to other cities. At present, there is no player city as big as Isengard, and any city in the whole system that is larger is a temple city. These cities are either the Temple of Light or the subordinates of the Temple of Darkness, and in our current relationship, we see that the light and dark cities have to go around, so don't think about it when you enter the city. Fortunately, the largest number of cities in the game are neutral free cities, which usually do not affect our activities, but those big cities must not be approached.

I've been drilling ravines to fight monsters before, and I've rarely entered the city, but today I held a job fair to know that I was really outdated. Rose asked the NPC guards in the city to post an announcement a day in advance, and also hired players to go to other cities to promote, and there were all kinds of people who came to participate today. I thought it was strange that Rose had 16 passages at first, but now I know why there are so many. It's still not enough to look like this, so I would have opened 36 if I knew it!

The main entrance in the middle of the temple is divided into 16 passages with railings side by side, and it is lined up from the doorway to the central square in front of the temple. Each passage entrance has an NPC responsible for maintaining order and channeling. Those who want to sign up enter the temple through the passages, and there is a table at the end of each passage, and there are two NPCs sitting behind the tables, and after completing the formalities, they can leave through the small door at the back of the temple and directly enter the large teleportation array dedicated to the temple and teleport to Isengard. All of the high-level NPCs I've brought with me today are Issinger's senior NPCs, and they're 200% faster than the average NPC, but despite this, the queue is still very long.

Rose and Bingbing stood right behind the row of NPCs, and if there was something that needed to be dealt with, the NPCs would hand it over to them. I'm a guy who runs around inside and outside the temple, dealing with all kinds of teasing incidents. This time, we recruit not only non-combat players, but also combat players. The two teams on the far right are specifically used to recruit combat players, and these two teams are generally used to fight.

I was patrolling the square when I suddenly heard someone calling out to me, and when I looked up, I saw an NPC cavalry commander standing on the top of the steps and shouting down, "Lord of the city, please come here." ”

The people in the row on the steps all turned to look at me, anyway, I didn't wear a magic dragon suit today, I was wearing an order armor, no one knew who I was, just look at it. Running all the way up the stairs, he asked the NPC as he walked towards the temple, "What's the matter?" ”

"There's a scoundrel in there."

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw a player standing in the middle of the team making a big noise.

"What are you guys? Isn't this a joke? The player was still yelling, and the players behind him were blocked by him and couldn't go through the formalities.

I walked over and said, "What's going on?" ”

Rose whispered next to my ear: "This person is a combat player, but he is standing in the line of non-combat players, we want him to go and queue up again to sign up at the table next to him, but he refuses to line up and has to do it immediately." "I was just about to walk over and was pulled back by the roses." Don't be too impulsive, there are too many players here, and even if we are reasonable, we can't be too tough. ”

I patted her on the waist: "Don't worry, I'm a person who doesn't know the severity?" "Let go of the rose and walk over to the man." I'm the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, how about we talk about it? Don't waste someone else's time. ”

"Doesn't that count as delaying me? Lao Tzu can't do it today, don't even think about doing it later. "That player looks like a human and a dog, I didn't expect to speak so impulsively!

I smiled and said, "Look at it, the players behind are also very anxious, and it's not a way for you to keep blocking like this?" In case there are a few players in the back who are in a hurry to come up and trouble you, there are so many people here, I don't know who hit you, it's not easy to catch if you want to, how bad you say. "I deliberately made the sound loud so that the players behind me could hear it, and I had to do it when I borrowed a knife to kill someone.

In fact, the players behind this guy who were blocked here were not happy for a long time, but the 911-level NPCs on both sides of the team stood in two large rows, and no one dared to move. As soon as I explained this, I implied that hitting people was not illegal, and now people are all proficient, and they understand it when they hear it. Hula, a group of people gathered around, knocked the guy down, and beat him.

I stood next to me and stopped the NPC guards who wanted to come forward, but I kept shouting: "Everyone should calm down, return to the team, it's not good to hit people." ”

Anyway, I shouted mine, and it was a good fight, and after a while the guy was thrown out like a puddle of mud, and his body was full of footprints. After the fight, both teams of players quickly recovered and stood in line as if nothing had happened. I walked over to the side and shouted, "There was a group of people here who were openly beating up a player, and who of you saw that group?" ”

Someone replied, "I see it, the crowd seems to have run outside." ”

_______________________________________

I immediately replied, "Oh! It is estimated that we have run away for such a long time, and we still have something to do, so we won't chase it, and no one will die anyway. As a result, there was a burst of laughter.

Order was restored in the temple, and I walked back to Rose and Bingbing. "The power of the masses is invincible, you know?"

Rose smiled and gave me a punch: "Just you can!" ”

This recruitment of our guild is the largest recruitment since the beginning of the game, and the preliminary work of Rose is relatively good, so there are many people who come to participate. Because it's in the game, it's very simple to recruit people, just look at the skill level. In the 48-hour job fair, we actually recruited more than 300,000 non-combat players, which is almost 3/1000 of the total number of non-combat players in China. After the recruitment was over, the labor needed for urban construction was solved, but my economy collapsed. The Dragon King only cares about Isengard's expenses, and I have to pay for the rest of the cities myself, which is not a good thing. While steel ore is a good thing, it will take time to turn steel into cash. Although the magic crystal in our hand is a sought-after commodity, we also need it ourselves and cannot sell it. I flipped through the trash in the bracelet, and sold all the useless necklaces, armor, weapons, etc., but these were small bucks, and they didn't make much sense for guild building. It looks like we're about to enter an economic crisis again!

Rose and I lay on the top of the Gathering Spirit Tower, thinking about it as we watched the sunrise.

"What do you think I can do to solve the economic crisis?" I asked, putting my arm around Rose's shoulder.

"Generally speaking, there are three types of countermeasures to this kind of economic crisis. The first is to expand reinvestment, but I don't think that's good. The second is to substitute capital for production, although we have the advantage of this, but after all, this method takes time. ”

"You mean you want me to use the third method? Tell me directly, right? ”

Rose said firmly: "Foreign war." ”

"War?"

"Capital plunder is the most effective and quickest way to solve the economic crisis. The greatest advantage of war in driving consumption and at the same time producing spoils of war is that it replenishes oneself and weakens the enemy at the same time. ”

But what are we going to do? You can't make money from war alone, unless you want to be in the arms business. ”

"Why not?" Rose asked me rhetorically. "It's very difficult to find the manufacturing technology from a finished weapon, and it's not like you can copy it if you buy something from us. And we have absolute technological superiority, why can't we sell arms? ”

"Okay. I understand this. ”

"You also have to think carefully about the sales problem, if you don't do it, you will end up making trouble for yourself."

"You don't have to worry about this, no matter how I say it, I am also the successor of Longyuan. I'm from a family of arms dealers! ”

"Arms are only one aspect, there are other businesses."

"For example?"

"Taxes, for example." Rose took out the financial records of our guild. "You see, we've done a lot of things in the guild so far. Be a pirate, sell obsolete warships, trade gold, trade in steel, transport, and collect taxes from SkyCity. The most stable and profitable of these aspects is Cloud City. Don't look at the fact that you have a lot of money from the NPCs of the Dragon King, it is actually not much more than the city's taxes. Don't underestimate the silver coin of the teleportation array usage fee, and don't underestimate the 5% tax of each store, as well as the 10 copper plate entry fee per person charged by the city gate. That's a lot of money, but you know what? The four gates of Cloud City have exceeded 10 million people in the least one day so far, you calculate, 10 million people, 10 copper plates per person, that is 100 million copper plates! The entrance fee alone is at least 100,000 crystal coins a day! 10 copper plates are converted into 1 cent, beggars don't care about 1 cent, but they can provide us with 100,000 crystal coins a day, what do you think of this number? I have already calculated the traffic of God City and God Maiden City, the minimum number of people in Cloud City is 10 million per day, and the maximum number of people on holidays may reach 200 million, and the average is above 25 million. In other words, the income from the entrance fee to Sky City can reach an average of 250,000 crystal coins a day, and our guild owns 54% of the shares of Cloud City, and the tickets alone are 135,000 crystal coins per day. In fact, the cost of entering the city is quite small, the rent of the city store, taxes, the cost of the teleportation array, the cost of various offices, and the cost of things in the temple. Now there is also a restaurant industry. I have calculated that the income of a city like Sky City can reach 10 million crystal coins a day after tax, and we can get 5.4 million crystal coins. ”

"That's a lot by your calculations. But the cost of the city is not small! ”

"I have calculated, the cost of the city is mainly the construction fee, and the maintenance fee does not exceed 2 million crystal coins a day, even if a city as big as Issinger is only 2.5 million crystal coins, the profit margin is very large!"

"You mean you want me to build cities in other countries?"

"It's not just about building cities, it's about making the most of the contradictions between countries."

"What do you mean?"

Rose shouted into the Eye of Hell above her head, "Eye of Hell, open the map of coastal China and its nearby areas." "The Eye of Hell instantly projected a perfect map in front of us. Rose pointed to South Korea and said, "This is South Korea, and like the Chinese, they also hate the Japanese." ”

"Of course I do."

"And our guild has exactly what Koreans need."

"You mean the Transnational Teleportation Array?"

The rose kissed me on the cheek quickly. "That's smart. We can build a city in South Korea. It doesn't need to be too big, as long as you can put down a Korean local teleportation array and a transnational teleportation array, by the way, some related facilities are being placed, and the whole city does not need to be too big, two or three square kilometers are enough. ”

"So it's not a bunker?"

"Anyway, don't do anything, it's purely a teleportation array entrance, no matter how big or small it is!"

"That's right! But where are the Koreans going with the teleportation array? You can't send them to China, can you? ”

"Just boasting that you're smart is stupid. Of course, the Koreans are going to Japan. ”

"But we didn't ......!" I suddenly understood what roses meant. "Are you saying that you will build a city in Japan and then let the Koreans go to war with the Japanese?"

"Yes. But that's not all. We want to build not one, but two cities in Japan. ”

"What do you want two for?"

"Fight each other!"

"Huh?"

"Aren't there a lot of Japanese players in our guild? Let them build a city in Japan in the name of the Japanese, keep it secret, don't let the Japanese know that it is a city we built, and even let a few players break away from our guild and set up a Japanese guild to build a city there. And then we are next to this city, not too far away, to build another city. But this time we need a large city, well armed and defended, preferably close to the sea, so that our warships can do their job. ”

"I see. At that time, little Japan will definitely want to attack our city, but their warships can't beat us at sea, so we can only come by land, and the closest to us is the city we have built secretly. Little Japan will surely gather in this city to resupply and wage war with us for a long time. We transported Koreans to Japan to fight in Little Japan, and the cities on both sides were ours, and we just had to collect the money. To fight a war there will be deaths and wounds, and a lot of weapons will be needed. We can build a lot of weapons shops, medicine stores, resurrection temples and the like in both cities. When the time comes...... Hey, hey, hey! "I can't help but hug the rose and kiss one back." You're so dark! ”

"I'll help you come up with ideas, and you still say that I'm black and have no conscience!"

The two of us came up with a super evil plan in the midst of laughter, and the next step is to start working on it.

The first thing to do is to stop the construction of Tianyu City first, and soon need to build 3 more cities, so many places need money, I really can't stand it. At the same time as the construction of Tianyu City was stopped, I began to officially sell steel to the Iron Cross, and our guild itself used the ink steel produced by the crystal beetle, but the Iron Cross side definitely couldn't sell ink steel, just provide raw steel directly. While selling steel, we also provided the Iron Cross with a new type of artillery, which is part of the technology of the Shenwu Cannon, on the condition that the Iron Cross quickly raise 20 million crystal coins for us. The Shenwu cannon itself was changed from the cannon of the Iron Cross, and 20 million must be expensive, but we gave the corresponding policy, such as the exclusive right to buy out the iron and steel mine, and our guild is not allowed to sell steel ore to any European guild except for the Iron Cross.

This 20 million alone is obviously not enough, so I found Hongyue again and asked her to pull Feng Yin Miao over. After negotiation, Feng Yin Miao agreed to give us 50 million crystal coins to subsidize us, but he must have a 10% stake in the three cities that will be built. Even if we don't lose money, we have no choice but to borrow money to live at the beginning! Our own guild now has 50 million misappropriated funds, plus the 70 million raised, for a total of 120 million crystal coins.

The city on the Korean side does not need to be too big, when the time comes to publicize with Korean players, it will be said that we Chinese fight the Japanese and open a channel for them by the way, then the Koreans will not attack the city we built in South Korea, and even monster siege Korean players may help us assist in defense. So the city here in South Korea doesn't need to be too big, it is enough to build it with 2 million crystal coins. On the Japanese side, both cities had to fight, and they had to be built very tall and strong. According to our calculations, a city needs at least 90 million Crystal Coins. In other words, there are still about 60 million vulnerabilities left.

After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly thought of someone. "Roses? You say it's okay to borrow money from Yanyu? ”
