Rose: They are in charge of sending away those who didn't buy the city, and I'm just in charge of the guilds that bought the city. The guild leaders were very satisfied, and after confirming this, they returned to Isenger to sign the final agreement with us.

After signing the agreement, I invited them to the cafeteria for a meal, the auction was not short, everyone's hunger level was about the same, and we just went to eat something together to connect with each other. My dad once told me that most business is done at the dinner table, not at the negotiating table. The dining table can bring people closer together, and it is often easier to simplify complex things at the dining table. Now I'm working on the theory of Isinger, and the target is the guild presidents who have bought the city.

There was nothing special about a meal, but I turned it into a battlefield, and after the meal all the guilds we attended became our friendly guilds. It seems that Dad's theory really has some truth. As everyone walked through the cafeteria, the president of a guild suddenly asked, "President Purple Sun?" ”

"Well, what are you doing?"

"When I first arrived, I saw that there was something on the corner of your city, which looked like a door cannon, and I was not mistaken, right?"

I asked, "Where did you see that?" ”

"I'm ......!" The president spun around and couldn't remember which direction it was in. "Where is the teleportation array?"

"Over there." Isinger had a lot of teleportation arrays, but I knew he was talking about the one next to the auditorium, because that's where they came in. I pointed in the direction: "Over there." ”

He immediately said, "I know, it should be over there." ”

"Over there?" I pulled out the leaves of the City Tree, and the leaves lit up immediately.

"Is there something wrong?" The City Tree had sensed the leaves on my side, and the sound coming from the leaves startled the people around me.

"I was just told that artillery had been found in the southern part of the second wall. Do you know what's going on? Shouldn't all the cannons be put into the gun compartment now? Why is it still on the city walls? ”

The City Tree calmly replied, "I know this. I lifted him up. There was a mechanical failure in gun position No. 36379 in the southern section of the second city wall, and it was being repaired, I raised it for easy maintenance, is there any problem? ”

"It's okay, I'm just asking. By the way, brighten up where I am, the street lights here are all out! ”

"This is as per your request. In order to save energy, auxiliary lighting is not activated at night in a non-combat state. ”

"Tonight is a special exception, help me turn on the lights."

"Understood, the power stove is warming up, and the lighting will be turned on after 20 seconds. Nothing else? ”

"Nope." I put the leaves away. Then he said to the president, "You're right. That's a cannon. "I suddenly noticed that everyone was not listening, they were all looking at what seemed to be waiting on both sides of the road.

I started looking with them and didn't know what they were looking at, but after 20 seconds I suddenly understood that they were waiting for the light. The sound of the City Tree can be heard from the speakers in the city. "Attention streets. The Esinger lighting equipment is activated, in order to avoid local overload, please do not start the large equipment for the time being. ”

As soon as the sound ended, the Gathering Spirit Pagoda in the center of Isengh suddenly glowed green from top to bottom, and the entire tower was like a large glow stick emitting a majestic and terrifying light. The surrounding leaders let out exclamations of amazement at the same time.

After the activation of the Gathering Tower, the streets of the city began to light up one after another, and soon it was our street. First one end of the street lit up, and then one by one the magic lamps lit up. The whole street is lit up in a flash.

A president leaned over and asked, "Is your city automated?" ”

"It's not automatic, but there are NPCs that are specifically responsible for controlling zhì."

"How do you hire such NPCs?"

"I'm sorry, but this NPC is actually a tree, we all call him the City Tree. As long as he takes root in the city, he can control the equipment of the entire city. I can communicate with him whenever I have to hold his leaves. However, this tree is a rare species, and we don't have enough of it ourselves. ”

The president who asked me about the cannon at the beginning ran back again. "Trees are a rare variety, cannons can always be produced, right?" The president said very earnestly: "We are a small guild, not a big group like you, we established a village some time ago but failed to defend it, so that the monster was pacified!" Now that we have managed to raise money to buy a city, we don't want any more accidents, so we want to buy some cannons and go back. ”

He gave birth to a lot of guilds around him. "That's right! We're going to buy cannons too. ...... "Everyone is in a mess, except for the Northern Alliance and those guilds with backstage, most of the guilds have asked us to sell them some artillery.

"Everyone, be quiet. Quiet...... "I finally managed to hold them down. "Okay, so be it. Cannons can be sold, but you're going to let me send away the guildmen who don't buy them, right? ”

As soon as I said this, everyone quieted down, and I quickly asked them to separate by themselves, and those who wanted to buy guns stayed and waited, and if they didn't buy them, I sent them to the teleportation array first. I came back when the guilds that didn't buy guns were gone, and took the rest of the guilds to the museum in Esinger, where all the models of our guild were parked.

"Okay, since you're going to buy a cannon, let's talk about the cannon. The place where you are standing now is the museum antechamber of our guild, and here are all the things that our guild can produce. It's just the foyer, the artillery is in the hall on the left, you come with me. ”

After entering the artillery display area, rows of cannons are deployed in order. Each gun has a detailed description, and there is also a video of the game during the test firing next to it, so that everyone can see it intuitively. The guild leaders began to drool at the sight of these things, and were eager to climb over the railing and touch them.

Seeing their excesses, I had to intervene to stop them. "Chief, please stay back a bit, the barrier in front of you is crystal glass. I can't stand it so crowded! ”

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The president hurriedly retreated.

The exhibition hall is elongated. The artillery was all placed on both sides of the exhibition hall, and some of the presidents ran all the way to the farthest artillery stand. "President Ziri, how much does this cannon cost?" This is our guild's own showroom, not for selling things, so the price is not included in the description.

I took a look, good fellow. These people are really good at picking, and the ones they are referring to are not only the magic crystal cannons, but also the biggest ones. "Then don't look at it, come and take a look at the ground cannon here."

"Why?" The elders said angrily, "President Purple Sun, are you not authentic? We treat you as friends. But you cover it up, and you clearly say that you won't sell the best if you sell guns, what do you mean? ”

I didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "Don't be angry yet, it's because I didn't make it clear." There are indeed a lot of cannons here, but the price varies greatly, the one you see is the magic crystal cannon, and it is by far the most powerful model, like the miniature city you bought, it only takes 5 shots. There is no zΓ i in the city. ”

The people over there stuck their tongues out when they listened. "It's so powerful, huh?"

I walked over there and said, "It's because it's too powerful, so the yield is not high." And this belongs to special guns. It's not a regular weapon, and it's a waste for you to buy it back. ”

The president was still stubborn. "I just like it, how much do you say?"

"If you insist on buying it, I can't help it. Since you bought our city, I will also give you a discount on this cannon. ”

The president immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

I brought an abacus and said as I pulled it: "The material cost of a giant magic crystal cannon is 30 million crystal coins, and the labor cost is about 15 million crystal coins. The cost of production equipment loss is 5 million crystal coins, the common cost of technology patents is 30 million crystal coins, and the energy consumption cost during production is about 1 million crystal coins, which is a total of 81 million crystal coins. The military material system is subject to a tax of 50% of the cost of production, which is 40.5 million crystal coins. That is to say, we have to bear the cost of 121.5 million crystal coins when a giant magic crystal cannon is built, although I want to give you a discount, but I can't work for you in vain, our production equipment is also very busy now, and we have to stop our plan to produce cannons for you, and you must bear this loss. The selling price of arms is generally 10 to 20 times the cost price, and I will only charge you double, which is 243 million crystal coins per gun. The Crystal Cannon consumes the energy of the Magic Crystal when it is fired, you can dig the Magic Crystal yourself or buy it from someone else, or you can buy it from me. If you buy it with me, I can give you a discounted price. The price sold in the system city is 6 million crystal coins per kilogram, I know an NPC, you can get the internal price of 5 million world a kilogram, charge you 5% of the intermediary fee, and sell 5.25 million crystal coins a kilogram to you. This is the lowest price, and I still have to get a rebate for that NPC, and I can't get a steel plate myself, so I'm helping you for the sake of everyone and friends. Besides

I can repair the Magic Crystal Cannon for free in the future, but if you need to replace the parts, you have to pay for it yourself. If you decide to ask for it, pay a 20% deposit first, which is 48.6 million crystal coins, and I will start the factory immediately, and it will be completed tomorrow, and then we will deliver it to your door, and you will pay the rest of the final payment. What do you say? "When I finished pulling the abacus, I looked up, and the person was gone." Odd! What about people? "I looked down and saw the guy lying on the ground foaming at the mouth." Ah, how did you get on the ground? It's not epilepsy, right? ”

In fact, what he said just now was deliberately to scare him, the cost of the giant magic crystal cannon is not that high at all, and the deposit I asked him to pay is enough to build two cannons, but I can't sell this super weapon lightly, of course, it is very important. It's just right that he doesn't buy it, and if he does, I'm not afraid, with his money, I can build another 20 doors, and 20 doors won't be able to deal with one? As for technical leaks, that's even more to worry about.

The technology of the magic crystal cannon was made by me from the Dark Temple, which means that the technology set up by the system is not something that anyone can imitate, as for the other cannons, they all have Vina specially made for me and the magic mark on them. Whoever dares to dismantle it will be ready to fly into outer space.

After I was so scared. Those presidents are really honest, they see what I introduce, and they don't think about what I don't introduce. Take them on a tour of a cannon from where we used to produce. "What you see now is the naval gun we used to produce, specially mounted on battleships to fight against the fortress guns in the harbor, so the power and range are very good. If you really want to buy guns, I'll build you to buy this. Our guild's warships are now mostly gunned. The equipment for the production of this cannon is semi-idle, so it can be produced quickly and without crowding out resources. "I took it again." So be it. Each cannon costs 1,000,000 Crystal Coins, plus 100 shells. Do you think it's okay? ”

"Can this cannon deal with enemy artillery?"

"Just kidding! This is a naval gun specifically designed to fight fortress artillery, do you say it can fight against enemy artillery? ”

Another president asked, "What about the shells?" How do I buy the 100 rounds I gave away? There is also after-sales service. How to calculate the repair problem? ”

"There are many types of shells, but you use them on land, and you don't need armor-piercing shells or anything like that. I recommend you to buy two types of shells, one is a high-explosive incendiary bomb, which is designed to deal with the enemy's siege weapons, and the other is a howitzer, which is designed to deal with ground personnel. Incendiary grenades are a little more expensive, 30 crystals per shot, but this thing doesn't cost much, and a city is only preparing thirty or fifty rounds. The price of the shrapnel is 20 crystals per shot. Cheap, right? ”

"Yes, that's good. The shells are reasonable. One of the guild leaders nodded, "I know of a guild." They can't produce cannons, but they can produce their own shells, and the shells they sell cost more than 70 crystal coins per shot, which is much more expensive than yours. ”

One person whispered, "Isn't there a quality problem with your shells being so cheap?" ”

"The quality you can rest assured of is absolutely reliable. Our shells are cheap because we have an assembly line for making shells. The speed is fast and the consumption is low, so the cost is low. Low cost is naturally cheap. ”

"What about repairs?"

"The artillery itself also has a mechanical failure, we are responsible for repairing it, we bear the cost, and it is a door-to-door service, if it is not repaired, we will replace it for you. If it is destroyed by the enemy in any way, then it is your own, and you will pay for the repair. We only charge the cost of replacement parts, and the labor cost is free, but you are responsible for sending the gun to us, and we don't care about the door-to-door repair! ”

"Yes, very reasonable." The chief said, "I want 50 guns, and 1,000 incendiary bombs and 100,000 shrapnel shells in addition to the guns." ”

"I'm going to ...... too"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Don't worry! Come one by one! ”

These people are like crazy people, desperately grabbing, and it's not that they don't have enough land! In the end, I calculated that excluding the cost, these cannons and shells netted 15 million crystal coins. In fact, these sold are all used ground guns, I told them that they were produced overnight, but in fact, they were refurbished overnight, these are the cannons that were eliminated from the previous battleships, and they still occupy space anyway, and they can make a small fortune if they are simply sold. Although these cannons are our obsolete loans, they have not been used for a long time, and they are very advanced compared to the artillery of other countries, so those guilds will not suffer a loss when they buy them back. I told them that these are new weapons, and they can be a little happier in their hearts, anyway, this thing is better than the guns of the system city and other guilds, and even if they go back and show it off, they can't see that this is obsolete.

At night, a large group of workers in the workshops of the steel city were busy on all fours, and our artillery was all being refurbished. The barrels have been recreated with metal wounds, so that they will sparkle. The inside of the chamber should also be turned over, and all of them should be walked through with a wire brush, so that some marks will be left in the chamber but not much. When the time comes, we told them that we tested two shells for each gun in order to ensure the quality at the factory, so there is a little mark in the chamber.

Today is really a bumper harvest, and it is not counted that there are so many dangerous cities like hot potatoes, and by the way, the eliminated bubbles have been disposed of. Su Mei just came to tell me that the urban concentration area used to mix the name has been completed, let me go over and have a look. I'm in a good mood now, and I've gone to visit all the 12 satellite cities and central cities, and overall these cities are in good shape. The City of Honor has been expanded by nearly half of its size, and it is now about the size of Sky City. The walls were heightened to 50 meters, the thickness was increased to 40 meters, and we designed 6 gates. After all, 12 canyons are a little too open.

The mountains on the outskirts of the City of Honor have been crafted into vertical cliffs 70 meters high. Every cliff top is a city. In order to prevent the enemy from climbing, Sumi had the mages mirror the mountain, and then brushed some of the ground lubricant that we used on the ship's bearings, and now the cliff will slide down even if a fly falls on it. It is said that in order to prevent the enemy from making holes in the mountain, they also made permanent reinforcement of the rocks, which were as hard as steel plates. It's very expensive, but it's really strong.

There are no civil buildings in these satellite cities, there are no walls, they are originally mountain tops, and there is no point in asking for walls. The city is a fort, and there are ammunition depots and a small command room inside the mountain. This is designed to make the most of what you want on the basis of saving. Anyway, it is used to replenish the number, and it is a waste to ask for civil buildings. After the tour, we went back to Isengah, but there was no one waiting for me.

"Atlantis the Great, Patriarch of the White Shark? How did you guys get here? "It's a bit strange that these two long-time enemies are in Issinger at the same time." You shouldn't have any contradictions, right? Didn't I send someone to help you coordinate during my absence? Did the negotiations fail? ”

The White Shark Patriarch smiled and said, "No, Miss Bingbing helped our two clans coordinate the negotiation when you were away, and our negotiation was successful." Now the two of us have decided to put the city together and merge it. ”

"Merge?" How these two old guys like to go to extremes! Some time ago, you were still alive and dead, and suddenly you became a brother!

"The main reason is that the city of Atlantis is too badly damaged, and the invasion of the Shemo tribe makes us very afraid, even if Atlantis is rebuilt, we still can't hold it." ”

The White Shark Patriarch also said, "So are we. Last time, I barely defended the offense and lost a large number of personnel, and if this continues, it will be over sooner or later. Therefore, we want everyone to merge and live together, and the special knot of the two clans should be able to resist the invasion of the Shemo tribe. ”

I said that these two old slippery heads suddenly became brothers, and they had to unite because the enemy was too strong for a long time.

The two of them are like two countries, and it is said that even if both sides agree to the merger of countries, it will take a long time to complete, and they can do it in a few days, and the reason why such a complicated thing is that objective conditions force them to exterminate their clan if they do not merge. At this time, survival is overwhelming. There is no need to talk about it anymore, just merge first, and everything else is easy to say.

I looked at the two of them and said, "It's a good thing that you plan to merge, at least my assistance is convenient, and you won't say who I prefer."

So what are you looking for me now? Are there any requirements? ”

"No, no, no," said Atlantis the Great, "this time we are here for your benefit." ”

"For me?" I laughed, "Tell me about it." ”

The White Shark Patriarch said, "That's right. The two of us grew up in a place and planned to rebuild the city, and the two tribes lived together in the future, but suddenly the quilt was lifted up into an island by a powerful force. ”

"You mean the seabed rises there?"

"Not the whole seabed, but that one part, a very regular pattern, that suddenly rises like a pillar, straight up and down."

"Straight up and straight down? Doesn't that mean it's like a skyscraper built on the bottom of the sea? ”

The White Shark Patriarch immediately nodded and said, "Yes, you described it very appropriately. It's as if a super edifice has been built on the bottom of the sea, and the top floor sticks out of the water. ”

"This kind of place is very suitable as a base." It occurred to me that I had an idea. Just now, the White Shark Patriarch said that it was suddenly lifted up by a powerful force, could it be ......? "Have you ever visited the island?"

Atlantis the Great said, "We know you can guess it." Yes, it is indeed an artificially built base there. The whole island had been turned into a city, and the perimeter was full of harbors, and our scouts saw a large number of battleships, and the battleship's flag sticker was a white flag with a red circle on it. ”

"Japanese?"

The White Shark Patriarch said, "I have also been in contact with the Japanese before, and they used magic crystals to buy our technology. When the Atlantis Great's men came back to report it, I immediately knew that it was the base of the Japanese, and that it contained the guild that had traded with us in the first place. ”

"You mean the Black Dragon Society?"

"Yes."

I thought for a moment and asked, "Where is that island?" ”

"Between you and Japan."

"Isn't that a storm belt?"

"It's a storm zone, but the island is protected by a certain force, and the land part of the island stretches out for 5 kilometres in the sea. The island is also sunny. This area is completely immune to storm belts. But the climate outside this circle is extremely stormy. ”

I immediately said, "Come with me." ”

I took the two of them to the top of the Spirit Gathering Tower, where our Resonance Crystal transmitter was located. The two of them knew what it was at a glance. I directly connected to the Japanese lurking mine Kawa Castle, and a mm voice came out. "This is Lei Chuan, is there anything going on?"

"I'm Purple Sun."

"Oh, he'll be good. What's the situation? ”

"The Black Dragon will make an island out of the Storm Belt, you know?"

"I haven't heard of it. But I can go and make a big inquiry. ”

"Then hurry up."

"Don't worry, we've got people in many guilds."

It was only five minutes later, and that mm was back. "President, I asked. It was the Black Dragon Society that did a guild mission some time ago, for which almost all the members of their guild dropped 10 levels, but the task was finally completed. The reward for the quest is to raise an island for the Black Dragon Society anywhere in the sea by the god Tenzhao. And the shape and location are chosen by the Black Dragon Society itself. The god of Celestial Zhao will put a magic shield on the island, and any adverse natural conditions will not affect the island. ”

"Okay, I see, thank you. Sue SΓΉ Xiaobui, we're going to go over and build Magic City soon, so get her ready to respond. ”

"Understood."

Cutting off the communication, I turned to them and said, "It seems that things are clear. The Black Dragon Society has made such a place in the storm belt just to serve as a springboard for attacking China, and we can't let this place go on. ”

Atlantis the Great said: "You don't have to destroy this place, you don't have to destroy it, you don't want it to be in the hands of the enemy." ”

"That's right." Atlantis the Great is really an old slippery head. "Then I'll gather a fleet and attack here at once."

The White Shark Patriarch was even more slippery: "They have a lot of warships, although your warships are of higher quality. But even if you destroy them all, you'll lose at least a third of your ships. ”

"What do you mean?"

The White Shark Patriarch smiled and said, "Didn't our White Shark Clan's Great White Shark give it to you?" ”

"You mean transporting people to the island for a sneak attack?"

"There's such a big dock on the water. Why not take advantage of it? ”

"Yes, you're right." I nodded, "I'll gather my men right away and raid them tomorrow." By the way, can you help? ”

The two guys shook their heads together: "We've all been beaten like that, where is there anyone to help you!" ”

I know it's a system limitation. These NPC forces can't participate in the player's battle for no reason, but the system will make them make up various reasons to shirk it, and will not directly say that the system is limited, so it is more realistic, and they will not always think that they are playing the game, but will treat it as the real world. Issinger's NPC guards can't go out of the city is also a system restriction, but Vader is affected by the system and it is dangerous to leave the city, not to mention the system restriction, this is all the same.

Since you can't let the two undersea races directly participate in the war, let them help indirectly. "I understand that you can't go to war, but you have to give a little bit of other support, right?"

"What kind of support?" Both of them were afraid that I would open their mouths, and this was their common understanding of me.

"Actually, I'm not asking for any reinforcements, I'm just asking you to help. You can send someone to help me do the preliminary reconnaissance, and then tell me the information, this is not difficult, right? ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard." The two patriarchs nodded quickly, and the Atlantis the Great wiped a cold sweat.

"I'm going to attack tomorrow at noon, and you still have 10 hours to reconnoitre. I'll do you good when it's over. ”

"The benefits are no longer needed, as long as you ship our relief materials on time, it will do us a great favor."

"Alright, you guys hurry up."

It is inconceivable that the Japanese would have built an island in the Storm Belt, and if it had not happened to be discovered by the Atlantis Great, it would have been a scourge. But don't worry about it now, as long as the enemies hidden in the shadows are invincible. Because you don't know how to attack him, but now that this base is exposed, even the strongest city will fall one day.

At this time, in the Japanese sea base, Matsumoto Masaga was making a report to a large group of younger brothers in the black. "Tomorrow......" he looked at the time. Oh no, it should be today, it's early in the morning. We're raiding Issinger in the evening, they've just finished the battle, and most of them must not be online at night, and we're still raiding. Tomorrow morning there will be reinforcements from the mainland, and then in the afternoon we will all set out together, and this time we will definitely include Esinger in our territory of Greater Japan. ”

"Victory!" The Japanese players all took out a headband with the words "Victory" written in red letters and tied it to their heads, and then went offline one after another to recuperate for the night's attack.
