Congratulations to the New Year. As a token of encouragement, the 100 monthly pass, plus a new chapter!

Qin Xiaobai left the A workshop, planning to buy a few pairs of hunting bows first, and he looked at all the bows and arrows in the only five bow and arrow workshops in the workshop area.

The bows and arrows of these workshops were made in the same way, and at present only hunting bows for commoners and war bows for nobles could only be made.

The hunting bow is made of ordinary bamboo and wood materials, with a single straight bow, an attack power of 5, and a range of 15 steps.

The war bow is made of precious materials, strengthened and curved, with an attack power of 8 and a range of 25 steps.

Both bows can be used for hunting and fighting. Hunting bows are inexpensive, and are suitable for ordinary hunters and soldier archers to use in large quantities. War bows are expensive and are only suitable for a few nobles, heroes, and generals.

There is also a difference in the durability of each bow, with a slight difference in the list price. Each hunting bow is between 4 and 51 copper coins. Each bow is 195205 bronze, which is almost the price of an ordinary horse.

Qin Xiaobai carefully inquired about the price of bows and arrows in each bow and arrow workshop, and the maximum price difference was less than about 5. If you want to buy the cheapest hunting bow from these workshops and resell it to other players at a high price, the profit from the resale will be less than 5. Although the difference is small, there is already some room for scalping.

Qin Xiaobai was a little tempted. When a large number of players enter the game, the most sought-after item is undoubtedly the weapon of the hunting bow. The Hunting Bow is the most useful ranged weapon, and is more popular than the Halberd as much as possible to avoid taking damage to oneself while hunting and killing enemies. The price of the bow is a bit high, and there are very few players willing to pay this money.

Players are temporarily unable to craft their own hunting bows, and can only purchase them from workshops in the walled city. The price of hunting bows in the workshop is bound to rise. The fluctuation of the rise is related to the total inventory of the entire walled city hunting bow, the less the inventory rises, the more inventory, the less the increase. Other than that. It is also related to the total demand of players, the higher the demand, the stronger the rise.

Qin Xiaobai began to consider whether there was a value in reselling the hunting bow land.

You need to know what your inventory is like.

He went to the bow and arrow workshop where the bow hunting price was lowest in the workshop area. Pointing to the bow and arrow hanging on the earthen wall, he asked the NPC workshop owner, "Are all your hunting bows here?" ”

The workshop owner hurriedly said, "My lord, that's not all. In addition to the thirty pairs of hunting bows here, there are also two hundred hunting bows in stock in the warehouse. How much are you going to want? ”

"What, you have more than a hundred hunting bows in your shop? If the other four workshops are similar to yours, then there are only one or two thousand pairs of hunting bow lands in stock? How can it be so little? ”

Qin Xiaobai suddenly opened his mouth in disbelief. Lin Lei's workshop only has more than 200 hunting bows. It's too little stock. When the number of players increases, won't it be hard to find a bow?

Qin Xiaobai continued to ask again: "Oh, is that so! Then I would like to ask, how many of these hunting bows can your workshop produce in a day? ”

The owner of the workshop said: "My lord, there are only ten bow-making craftsmen in our workshop, and each person can make about one hunting bow a day, and there are more than ten such hunting bows in a day." ”

Qin Xiaobai was surprised, "In this way, the entire city produces only fifty or sixty hunting bows in a day. So little? ”

The workshop owner shook his head and said, "Actually, it's a lot, my lord." In addition to the off-site inventory of our five workshops, the barracks' ordnance warehouse also stocked nearly a thousand hunting bows. But you think, there are only 500 archers and soldiers in our walled city, and if you add more than 1,000 hunters who go out to hunt all year round. No more than fifty broken bows were used in the city every day. Including Orion and Army Land. If the earth-building bow can't be sold, it's not a loss! These hunting bows are sufficient. There is even a slight redundancy. ”

Qin Xiaobai was a little shocked, of course, what he thought of was not the "slightly redundant" now, but the large shortage after the influx of many players into the game. The various materials in the game can only be enough for the use of the NPC tribe itself, and it is not enough for players to use at all, and it seems that not only the price of the hunting bow will skyrocket, but also other goods will skyrocket.

It is not until the player also starts producing these products that the price may come back down.

He was no longer thinking about whether there was any resale value for these hunting bows, but whether he should borrow a large sum of money from someone to buy hunting bows and make a lot of money. The copper coins on his body could only buy about 20 hunting bows at most, and the number was very limited. The profit from scalping is also limited.

Seeing that Qin Xiaobai didn't move, the workshop owner thought that the price was too high, and hurriedly said, "How much do you want, my lord?" If you buy a few more pairs, the price can be reduced a little. ”

Qin Xiaobai came back to his senses from his contemplation, continued to try to keep the price lower, and said, "I want to buy a few more pairs, but I see that the price you open is still too high, can the price of these hunting bows be cheaper?" ”

The workshop owner smiled: "My lord, if you buy more than 5 in bulk, we can reduce three more copper coins for you at most, and the price of 4 pairs will be approved for you." It must not be reduced any longer. In the whole city, our bow is the cheapest, and it is no worse than others'. If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many hunters sold recently and some inventory had been hoarded, the price would never have been so low. ”

Qin Xiaobai thought about it for a moment and said, "Is the lowest price 46 copper coins?" In that case, I'll go to other workshops and ask if their bulk prices are lower than yours, then I'll have to buy them from other workshops. ”

The owner of the workshop begged for mercy and said bitterly: "Well, my lord, let's give you a pair of 45 copper coins." If anyone pays a lower price than this, then we have nothing to say. ”

Qin Xiaobai had already asked the prices of the five workshops, and naturally knew it in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I believe that what you gave is the lowest price in the entire city." Bring me ten hunting bows, and 20 bundles of stone arrows. ”

The workshop owner hurriedly took ten pairs of hunting bows and 40 bundles of stone arrows from the wall and handed them to Qin Xiaobai. 1 bundle of stone arrows and 2 copper coins, the batch price is slightly lower than a bundle of copper coins. The total price is 522 copper coins.

Qin Xiaobai asked the workshop owner to send two of them to move these hunting bows and stone arrows to his earthen house and put them in storage.

He asked the workshop owner if there were any NPCs in the city that lent money, and the workshop owner hurriedly advised him not to have such plans, the people who lent money in the city were several NPC nobles, and they were all profitable, and the interest rate was high and scary, once he borrowed this kind of debt. I'm afraid I'm going to go bankrupt.

Qin Xiaobai wrote down the name of the NPC nobleman mentioned by the workshop owner, and he had his own plans in his heart. If the profit from reselling weapons and goods is high enough, what are you afraid of borrowing from NPCs from usury? I'm afraid that the demand of players is not strong enough. Borrowing from NPCs. You need to wait and observe the first item that players need to buy urgently, so that you can accurately grasp the direction of the market.

He went to the barracks again.

There were hundreds of warhorses of all kinds in the barracks. The advantages and disadvantages are different, ranging from 300 copper coins to 1000 copper coins each.

Qin Xiaobai only had 406 copper coins left, and he spent 375 copper coins from the military camp to bargain at the lowest price to buy a well-trained ordinary war horse with an original price of 385 copper coins to use as a reconnaissance cavalry. In the past two days, I will go to scout the nearby Shanjung tribe. It's better to be prepared to run and escape like this. Otherwise it's easy to go. Once revealed, it may not be easy to come back.

After doing this, there were only 31 copper coins left in his pocket.

However, Qin Xiaobai's tribe now has a certain ability to attack from a long distance and reconnoiter at a long distance. The military strength has risen significantly compared to when he first came here. What needs to be done now is to get these weapons in the hands of the barbarian warriors of the tribe.

The barbarian warriors of the Xiaobai tribe are still the most primitive Stone Age troops: slingers, wooden stick soldiers, and stone spearmen, and they must be trained to transform into more advanced troops of the Bronze Age.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Qin Xiaobai ran outside the walled city and found his 49 people; He was surprised to find that dozens of thatched huts had been built outside the walled city. As a temporary residence for the tribal land of the landed player who moved to the Zhou Water Department. In addition to his clan, dozens of more players have already appeared in this tribe. The players enter the city to meet the Great Chief of the Zhou Water Tribe, and their tribes who moved from the beginner map are left outside the empty city first, so as not to overcrowd the city.

The number of players began to increase, and Qin Xiaobai felt a sense of urgency in his heart. It is necessary to get the most urgent things done immediately.

He came to the thatched hut of the Little White Tribe. Call the weak barbarian warrior who is more than level 9, and the 10 barbarian slings who are level 56. Let them follow him into the city, fetch ten pairs of bows and arrows from his earthen house, and then go to the huge military camp in the northern district to train the archers and the scout cavalry.

Each training ground in the barracks has a special NPC training instructor responsible for teaching and management. The instructors here are all senior instructors, and the training is very effective.

Players can borrow a venue to train their warriors formally, but they will have to pay a fee to the barracks, which is definitely not cheap.

Training is done in hour-long increments, and for each hour of training, a certain level of proficiency is increased. Proficiency is related to the attributes of NPC warriors, and flexible warriors are more effective in training to become archers. The higher the proficiency, the stronger the overall combat ability.

Low-level Barbarian troops must be trained on the training ground for at least an hour before they can be transferred to the advanced Bronze Age class. If you can't change to that class for an hour, you will be eliminated and you can't change classes again.

Infantry Training Ground, where an infantry receives an hour of instructional training, requires 1 copper coin.

At the Archer Training Ground, an archer undergoes an hour of instructional training for 2 copper coins.

At the Cavalry Training Ground, a scout cavalry receives an hour of instructional training and requires 5 copper coins.

The tank training ground, where a tank undergoes an hour of instructional training, requires 10 copper coins. Qin Xiaobai looked at the 3 copper coins in his pocket with a wry smile, he had so much money, it was only enough for training once, and it was not used up.

He paid 30 copper coins to the training ground, so that he and the weak barbarian warriors were trained as scout cavalry at the cavalry training ground, and turned into scout cavalry together. Ten other barbarian slingers went to the bow training ground to be trained as archers and became archers.
