Section 243 Prospect of Expected X
"You're right. Actually, there's good news: someone is willing to sell us the full Hunter set, as well as some other intermediate leathermaking recipes. β
"Really?" Wang Luo was a little surprised.
"But he put forward additional conditions." Humphrey said. "Ask us to make him 300 'Drums of Courage' before he will sell us those recipes. This recipe consumes a lot of materials. β
As he spoke, he handed Wang Luo a piece of paper with the attributes of the Drum of Courage and the materials he needed.
"A prop for team fights." Wang Luo glanced at it and commented. "What team is he from?"
"Team of Two-Headed Vultures." Humphrey said.
"They don't seem to be doing very well financially?" Wang Luo asked.
"That's right." Humphrey said. "They can't afford to buy so many drums. But there happen to be a lot of recipes on hand that can be used to offset the bill. In this way, the use of generic pips for trading is avoided. β
"Did their head suggest it?" Wang Luo asked. "You can ask him to come and talk."
"No... No. Humphrey said. The man came to me in a private person's name. But with so many recipes, it is clear that it is also impossible to be private. They probably don't want to offend the council and want to make a deal.... It's better not to talk in public. β
"Is that so?" Wang Luo thought about it for a moment. β... This thing also consumes too much material. Three hundred sides, more than 160,000 pieces of leather are needed, but they can only rise by 300 points..."
Suddenly, Wang Luo felt a bit of danger.
What's going on? Is there a problem with this deal? Does Humphrey have a problem?
"Making this kind of drum seems to be two points of skill at a time." Humphrey said.
"That's six hundred. And so much leather, if used to make ordinary products, can make more than 20,000 copies. How many bits of leather do we have on hand right now? Wang Luo asked the flowers on the side.
"About 100,000 copies." Hua Kai replied. "It's all in everyone's private space. In addition, there are more than 100 copies of intact leather. Dou Qifang's purchase of raw materials seems to have slowed down. β
"Because everything I saved before was sold to us." Wang Luo shook his head. "The number of good leathers is like the output of these two days. But the bits and pieces of leather, the number of them are somewhat abnormal..."
"Could it be that someone was here before?" Hua Kai said suddenly.
"Maybe," Humphrey nodded. Quite possibly. β
"Anyway, keep buying." Wang Luo looked at Humphla. "Let's put this deal on hold until we get enough leather to make sure we can produce it... In other words, can you discuss and ask them to reduce some order quantities? β
"Thisβ" Humphrey looked embarrassed. I could talk about it again. But he bit very hard, but I was afraid that it would be difficult. β
"Also, you can find other channels." Wang Luo said. "If the other party can simply sell the formula without messy conditions, it's good; If the other party is willing to accept unlimited coins, so much the better. Because, even if you are promoted to the intermediate level, you can use those formulas, and if you want to convert the recipes into strength--- make a full set of equipment for the whole group, the leather consumed will be very terrifying..."
"It's not expensive." Blossom said. "It's a little bit up now, but it's still very cheap."
"That's now." Wang Luo looked at her. "The price of anything that is consumed in large quantities will go up, the difference is just how much. Do you expect those things to be cheap forever? β
"No... I didn't..."Flower Blossom lowered her head.
"In this regard, you can let everyone prepare their own leather." Humphrey suggested. "It won't take long to go out hunting in turns."
"The production capacity on a large scale is an absolute and overwhelming strength." Wang Luo looked at the flowers and said suddenly. "With the synergy and spirit, we can achieve the production speed of almost one piece per second. In such a situation, as long as the supply of raw materials and trade can be guaranteed, I can even learn intermediate leather making in four hours! β
The two looked at him together.
"When the time comes, how strong will the equipment be after bringing those rare attributes?"
"Really." Hua Kai smiled as if sensing his emotions.
"It's really remarkable." Humphrey said.
"It's not the kind of farmer who watches the sky and eats, takes great risks to do tasks, and then only gets a few pieces of equipment. Rather, it is an industrialized approach that can be mass-produced, spread to the whole team, as long as there are raw materials, as many as they want. Wang Luo's expression was very excited. Completely popularize such equipment throughout the team, and then strengthen it with those attribute enhancement items, and the combat effectiveness of the entire team will completely reach a new level. β
"As long as everything goes well." Humphrey pondered for a moment, then looked into the distance.
"Of course those people want to thwart us." Wang Luo followed his gaze, and then waved his hand. But their subordinates don't necessarily think so. Their conspiracy may come true, and we may suffer somewhere .... It's all normal. But what does it matter? β
"It's just a small thing." Humphrey smiled.
"Most people, most of the time, don't think. They either act after ideals or act after interests. Wang Luo continued. What we have to do is to pre-set a trajectory that will make their actions work in our favor. β
"That's what you're acquiring." Humphrey said. "It can benefit those ordinary contractors as well, and thus draw them into our front."
"Of course." Wang Luo said. "Their unconscious actions may seem like nothing at first glance, but when they accumulate in large quantities, they will greatly drain the energy of those team officers, reduce their ability to move, and reduce the obstacles to us. Those officials will definitely prohibit, obstruct, and make regulations. But with each of their actions, internal contradictions intensify. β
"When the contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, when the ordinary members of the team have more resources and capabilities than the top, those teams are close to collapse. In the midst of this debacle, we have the opportunity to bring in a large number of ordinary contractors and bring them into our team. β
"Collapse, co-opt, absorb." Humphrey repeated the words.
"For the whole scene, one team is enough." Wang Luo said. "That's our team. The rest of them, there is no need to exist. Capacity, raw materials, trade.... All of this adds up, and when the 'thrilling jump' is done, i.e. my intermediate leather making is done and I have those recipes, we can get to the top. β
