Chapter 314: It's Just the Cost Price

"Helping people escort goods, how do you think of doing this?" The scavengers who had a day off the next day went online early, and after a night of tossing, the ancient city area had been almost explored. Because they received a reminder from the scavenger, Saker and the others did not participate in the competition for the things in the altar at the back of the mountain, so they withdrew early. Now hearing the Saker say that he wants to help people escort things, the scavenger asked in some surprise.

"As you said, after exploring the ancient city, the players are crazy, and they will rob people when they see them. Many players who venture alone can be said to have lost their money, so some players have banded together to ask a powerful security company to escort them away. The price is not low, so I wonder if we should take this kind of business and see. Saker said.

"What price is it offered, and who are they?" The scavenger asked, curious.

"Most of them are idle players on the side of Jiangnan City, they are far away from Jiangnan City after they come out of the dungeon, and they have to pass through the territory of several orcs on the way, and they are afraid that it will not be safe. Hope City players have also posted similar quests. However, the distance is a little closer, so the price is cheaper. The players of Jiangnan City bid 100,000 gold coins. ”

"100,000 gold coins? Not bad. The journey between Hope City and Jiangnan City takes more than ten days to go back and forth with the convoy, and if the number of people is not very demanding, it is not impossible to do the following. The scavenger nodded, 100,000 gold coins are equivalent to 100,000 RMB, and from the perspective of the guards alone, this price is not too low.

"The price is acceptable, but I'd like to bring some more people over to make sure it's safe." Saker said with a deep groan.

"Oh, tell me what you think."

"I think so, there are more than 1,000 miles of roads between Hope City and Jiangnan City, as long as a few roads have roads, other places are still wild. In between, there are beasts and sapients. There are also some wandering players, and the equal power is a bit more complicated.

Therefore, in the future, if Hope City and Jiangnan City are traded, some of the big forces will have their own escort teams, but some of the small forces will need to be protected. This is only Jiangnan City and Hope City, and if you find other cities in the future, it is estimated that this ancient escort caravan model should be very popular.

So I think we don't do it, we have to do it. Let's get our reputation out first. In this way, it will not be us looking for a caravan escort in the future, but the caravan will come to us to help them escort, so it should be a good business.

After all, we have a lot of ordinary players who collect general materials, and the amount of precious materials is often small, and there are not many monsters that explode materials. In this way, most of our core players are used by ordinary players, which is too wasteful, and their wages are much higher than those of ordinary players. ”

"That's a good note. The security company is to act as a bodyguard for people, and they have always been around the city of Hope City before, so naturally no player has this business need. Since players will have such a demand in the future, it is important for us to lay a foundation and occupy the market as soon as possible.

And in addition to the convoys that escorted the caravans. We also draw some elite players to form an elite bodyguard team. In reality, there are many powerful forces that want to enter, and some of them only focus on business and do not want to develop force. In this way, the bodyguard industry should also be very popular in the game in the future. Thinking of the banquet held by the Han family, the scavenger's eyes lit up and added.

"Well, I'll go and prepare. But this business I want you to go out in person, boss, after all, this is an opener, and you can't be dumb. ”

"Hehe, no problem. The first trip to business is really foolproof, and in a moment you bring the map and we'll study the road map. The scavenger nodded. The Sakers began to go down and prepare.

After dealing with a few more things. The scavenger took a moment to look at the electronic dictionary of traditional Chinese characters that Peach Blossom Eye had collected for himself. Suddenly, there was an extraordinary Chinese medicine book in my head, and the scavenger had to figure it out.

""Bian Que Codex Meridian Chapter", Bian Que Codex!" Referring to the traditional Chinese dictionary and translating the information in his head, the scavenger's eyes widened. Even if the scavenger is lonely and unheard, he knows who Bian Que is. It was one of the most famous miracle doctors in history.

However, after knowing what this was, the scavenger couldn't help but wonder: "How did Bian Que's Codex run into the ancient city of the copy?" ”

Shaking his head suspiciously, the scavenger Keith translated the traditional Chinese information in his head little by little, but some of them were very jerky. Although the scavenger translated the traditional Chinese characters into simplified characters, the scavengers in it also made the scavengers a little big, and they couldn't understand it for a while. What is certain is that this is a good thing, though.

"I'm going to be a soldier before, otherwise I'll be a bastard if I go to school." After translating the last word, the scavenger felt dizzy and wanted to sleep, and couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly. He was excited to fight with a gun. But look at the writing, this ...... It's really not something that ordinary people can do.

"Anyway, I can't run away in my head, so I'll keep it and study it slowly. Look what's in the wooden box. Withdrawing from the information in his mind, the scavenger took out the purple wood box from the python swallowing bracelet. At that time, there were three boxes on the stone platform, two purple wood, and one jade box. The jade box was obtained by Dolma, and the two scavengers of Zimu and Nazhu each took one.

Inside the single open box lies a piece of parchment. Curious, he opened the parchment and burrowed the information into the scavenger's mind, and then the parchment turned to ashes.

Tiger Bone Pill Formula: The secret recipe for strengthening the body and bones researched by the ancient people who refined the body, and long-term use can condense the bones, remove impurities from the body, and make manpower like a tiger. Medicinal materials needed: one tiger whip, two bear bile, three taels of deer antler velvet......

"Need a tiger whip, how does this feel like a historical drama, a strong pill sold by street artists?" Seeing the information about the Tiger Bone Pill formula, the scavenger couldn't help but be a little stunned. But whether it's a strong pill or not, the effect of the medicine looks quite exciting.

However, the heart is heartbeat, but there are new problems. Then the ancient people added some heavy metals to alchemy, such as mercury and lead. These pills are harmful to the human body when taken for a long time, and more importantly, the scavenger doesn't even know a few kinds of herbs and doesn't seem to know how to make pills.

"This thing looks like fun." Although I don't know about alchemy, I can't help but feel very interesting when I see the clear material description on the prescription, as well as the techniques and steps of handling the materials. So I asked the Saker that the Saker was still negotiating, and even if it was negotiated, it would take three days before it could set off. So the scavenger hurried to the underground research institute to find the trigger. That's why I looked for the trigger first, instead of asking Yuan Shenping about some things first. It's because scavenger alchemy requires a medicine pod, and making equipment naturally starts with finding the trigger.

"Yaoding? I haven't really made this thing yet. Do you have any blueprints to make? Besides, what do you want Yaoding for? Isn't there a lot of equipment for making potions over there, Professor Yuan? Just make whatever you want and let him help you. Hearing the scavenger's going to the trigger, he asked a little strangely.

"I got a formula, it's a very ancient alchemy formula, this needs to be refined with a medicine tripod, the scientific instrument seems to be a little inappropriate, and this kind of thing is very peculiar. Sometimes it's a trivial matter if the fire almost fails to refin, but if you refine a good medicine into a poison, it will be difficult to do. I don't have the ability to modify Danfang to meet the production capacity of the machine assembly line. The scavenger said helplessly.

"That's right. Then I'll look for some information. When Mo Lao comes back in the evening, I will ask him again, after all, it is impossible for this kind of thing to make a piece of metal lump for you to create a tripod and it will be over, and there should be any taboos in it that need to be paid attention to. Trigger thought for a moment and said.

"That's the only way, ask Mo Lao more insurance. By the way, have you done my Hundred Refined Iron? The scavenger also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry about this matter, so he could only put it down for the time being.

"Okay, come with me." Trigger nodded, then led the scavenger into the storeroom, pointed to a pile of swarthy iron piled up like stones, and said, "These are fine irons that have been forged 999 times." What you ask for is a hundred refined iron. So I didn't dare to exceed 1,000 times. ”

"Doesn't look like normal iron?" The scavenger walked over with some curiosity, and then took a palm-sized piece of fine iron from the top of the iron pile and checked it, feeling that the weight was not light, and it was not very cold to start, and there was a sense of roundness and asked a little strangely.

"These refined irons are specially made, at first with very large embryos, and then again and again with red-hot beatings, and at the end more than ten tons of iron. It can only be knocked out of such a small piece. And when cooling, it is not ordinary water, but animal blood. In this way, there seems to be some energy locked in the iron.

When used to craft equipment, it is much easier to use than ordinary steel. However, the density is too high and the weight is not light. Otherwise, it should be better than a new alloy if it is used to make mechas. Now I'm testing it to see if it can be added to the alloy. If successful, it is estimated that the equipment can be updated. Trigger said a little excitedly, when it came to his own test, he felt shy, he seemed to be particularly good at talking.

"It takes more than ten tons of iron to refine such a palm-sized piece of fine iron?" The scavenger's eyes widened in disbelief. However, this piece of fine iron is indeed extraordinary, dark and swarthy with blood light. Faintly, there is something like a vein pattern on the surface, which cannot be said to be the same as ordinary fine iron.

"You need about 13 tons of steel in your hand, and this weight is the weight of steel that has been refined from iron ore, not just iron ore. I was also amazed when I first made it, but that's just the way it is. But what you are holding in your hand is a special one, which is why it is so exaggerated after 999 condensation. Ordinary refined iron. A few thousand catties can be condensed into a hundred and ten catties. ”

"How much is a pound of steel now?"

"About 1 gold coin, a better 1.5 gold coin, that is, a piece of five pounds in reality."

"1 ton is 2,000 catties, and 13 tons is 26,000 catties, which means that even according to the lowest steel price, this piece of refined iron is worth 26,000 gold coins, which is 26,000RMB? This is more expensive than gold, right? The scavenger who held the Hundred Refined Iron in his hand looked stunned.

"It's a lot more expensive than ordinary gold, and you're only counting the price of steel in the simple sense of the word. There is also the processing fee of the worker's master, as well as the cost of the beast blood needed to cool down after each beating. In fact, the piece of refined iron in your hand weighs about 50 catties, and the price is almost 100,000 gold coins. ”

"100,000 gold coins!" The scavenger was completely speechless.

Seeing that the scavenger's eyes widened, the trigger scratched his head as if it was a little bad, and then said something that made the scavenger almost faint: "100,000 gold coins, in fact, is just the cost price." ”

"That is to say, the cost price of one pound of refined iron is 2,000 gold coins. How much fine iron is there? The scavenger shook his head, he already felt rich. At least there is much richer than before, but if you have 100,000 gold coins, it is just a palm-sized piece of iron lump in your hand, which is really a bit unacceptable.

"A total of 5,000 catties, 10 million gold coins. Rest assured, although the cost of refining is high, its market price is not low. We have at least 50% more profit. So although refining them takes up a little more money, it won't lose money. Seeing that the scavenger was a bit of a money fan, the trigger felt funny and said with a smile.

"50% profit margin, this is not bad." Hearing the trigger, the scavenger finally put his irritated heart back in his stomach. This can't be blamed on the scavengers, because even the 10 million bills stacked together are larger than the volume of this pile of refined iron. Such a little thing was still refined from steel of little value, and the scavenger was a little unable to grind it for a while.

And in the past, although the scavenger had no concept of money, he felt that it was enough, and when he deposited hundreds of millions, he also had no concept. But after suddenly going from billionaire to poor, the scavenger finally has a concept of money. Especially now that he lives in Ouyang Ningning's house, the villa has to be sent by Ouyang Boyan. The scavenger has a little more in his heart for money. Although this little bit of this stuff will not make the scavenger a money fan, at least let him know what the difference is between having money and not having money.

"Use these things when you want, and as much as you want. If you don't need much, the rest will be left for your own use and the rest will be sold, and the proprietress said that the copy has just ended, and some materials on the market are easier to buy. Let me dispose of the things I don't use to increase my liquidity. Trigger said.

"I don't know about this." The scavenger shook his head a little dazedly, he saw that the high-level hunter medal had to be refined with refined iron, so he let the trigger go. As for how much refined iron is needed, and how to make the Senior Hunter Medal absorb him, he really doesn't know. After taking a look at the attributes of the Advanced Hunter Medal, the scavenger took the Hunter Medal off his chest, and then brought the Hundred Refined Iron in his hand over.
