If you feel that the subway and horses are not fast enough, there are airships between the seventeen urban districts to ride, there are hundreds of airship riding points in the entire Crescent City, and a ticket has a fixed price of five thousand gold coins, and you can fly from the east gate of Crescent City to the west gate within ten minutes, which are also the two farthest places in Crescent City.

The airship is a luxury, not only to travel between the seventeen city districts, but also to travel between cities or between cities and field garrison posts, the farther the distance, the higher the cost, and the fare for inter-city flights can start at least 20,000 gold coins or more.

The first thing Lu Chao did when he entered Crescent City was, of course, to go to the city gate to find NPC merchants to buy a map of the city.

Although the maps in the cartography will be cheaper, you need to at least know where the Crescent City Cartography is located, right?

The map has the entire Crescent City map and the map of each urban area, and there is also a difference in the degree of completion, the map with a low degree of completion only roughly marks the route map of each urban area and the location of various important buildings, and the map with a high degree of completion also marks the detailed coordinate addresses of various functional NPCs.

Only when the player has purchased the map in the game will the system give a hint of the best route when the player is ready to find a certain building or NPC. Therefore, unless you are a master of path recognition, it is better to buy a map and carry it with you, such a large Crescent City can easily make players get lost in it.

It's said to be a map, but it's actually a navigation map.

"New faces! You're not a citizen of this city, are you? The NPC looked at Lu Chao.

"I just came here." Lu Chao replied to the NPC who sold the picture a few words.

"A player?" The NPC asked directly.

"Yes." Lu Chao nodded. The NPCs in this game directly identify the player's identity, which is also interesting.

"This is the first time you've seen a player come to Crescent City, you must have had some adventures, right? Otherwise, it would be difficult to get here. The NPC continued to nag.

"Yes." Lu Chao didn't want to explain too much.

"You buy a map? Map of Crescent City? There is also a map of the area around Crescent City, what price do you want? I can also teach you basic drafting skills at a low cost. If you have a talent for cartography, I can recycle the drawings at a high price. "The NPC selling pictures met the player for the first time, and he seemed very excited, wanting to make a big profit from Lu Chao.

"How many coins do I need to learn the art of cartography?" Lu Chao estimated that this NPC was probably a liar, just fooling him into spending gold coins to learn skills, but it didn't matter, just use his psychology to learn more about the situation.

"Making a navigable map requires not only gold coins to learn, but also parchment, quill and some magic potions. The more detailed the map, the higher the requirements for the cartographer's level, and after becoming a cartographer, you can not only make maps in the city, but also field maps, so that you can go out to do tasks and find quest NPCs or monsters. ”

"Cartographer is hard work, whether you're a trainee cartographer or a senior cartographer, when you want to draw a new map, you have to go through that area, and if there is an NPC in that area, you have to say at least one word to that NPC so that the NPC will be automatically marked into the map you want to draw."

"Cartographer is a very lucrative industry, and now many areas outside Crescent City have not been drawn by anyone, if you are a senior cartographer, and the first to draw those area maps in detail and submit them to the Cartographic Association, you have the copyright to map that area, so that in the future, every cartographer who draws a map of this area, as long as he sells it, will pay you 10% of the copyright money."

"Don't underestimate this copyright money, it may make you rich overnight." The NPC who sold the picture introduced to Lu Chao very seriously, and he obviously didn't want to mess up the first business.

"If I fly around Crescent City in an airship, will I be able to draw a map of Crescent City?" Lu Chao thought about it and asked the NPC a few words, and after listening to the introduction of this NPC, he was a little moved.

When thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of players poured into Crescent City, if he owned the copyrights of several regions, he could indeed sit there and have a large amount of gold in his account.

"Yes, but there won't be quest NPCs or anything like that, you can only draw out the terrain map, and at most there will be a few landmark buildings, after all, you are not walking on the ground, so it is impossible to be so detailed." The figure dealer nodded.

"You just said that trainee cartographers and senior cartographers, how do you distinguish between them?" Lu Chao thought about it and asked another question, this NPC seemed to say that only senior cartographers can own copyrights.

"When a cartographer makes a map, the system will give an evaluation of the degree of completion based on its level of detail. Generally, trainee cartographers can only produce maps with a maximum degree of 40% completion, junior cartographers can only produce maps with a maximum degree of completion, intermediate cartographers can produce maps with a maximum degree of completion, intermediate cartographers can produce maps with a maximum of 40% completion, intermediate cartographers can produce maps with a maximum degree of completion, and senior cartographers can produce maps with a maximum degree of completion. ”

"One of the advantages of being a cartographer is that when you walk through an area, you don't find any treasures, but the map you draw will automatically mark them randomly. For example, a junior cartographer can randomly discover B-grade alloy veins underground, an intermediate cartographer can randomly discover A-grade alloy veins underground, and a senior cartographer may randomly find S-grade alloy veins underground in the map they draw! ”

"Think about it, what is the concept of discovering S-grade alloy veins? If you can refine hundreds of grams of S-grade alloy in it, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life! "When the NPC said this, his eyes lit up.

Hearing the words S-grade alloy, Lu Chao was also interested.

He took over a task from Wang Yun and needed to find an S-grade alloy, but he had no clue, and he was ready to give up.

Unexpectedly, a clue suddenly appeared here.

Was it intentional?

"The maps I sell here are between 20 and 90 percent complete, and if you want a more detailed map, you'll have to go to an expert cartographer who can make a map that's 95 percent complete. There is even a possibility of SS-grade alloys appearing in their maps. ”

"A grandmaster-level cartographer, on the other hand, can produce a map that is 98 percent complete. In their maps, SSS-grade alloys may appear. ”

"If you want to make a map that is 100% complete, you have to be a god-level cartographer."

"In the map of a god-level cartographer, there may be a legendary god gold." The NPC was getting more and more excited.
