Chapter 206: Red Tauroper Dependence
"Essos was once a vast land, and before the cataclysm struck, the greatest dynasty in the world was born. The faith of the Lord of Light pervades Essos, a land illuminated by light. Melisandre spoke in a soft voice, just as she had told the prophecy.
"I heard that Essos is almost deserted now?" Li Quan asked.
"Yes. Because of the calamity, even the radiant earth was not spared. Melisandre said.
"Are there still people settled there?" Li Quan asked again.
"There are many. The Lord of Light will not abandon his people......"
Li Quan was not interested in the second half of the sentence, and said directly: "Then, I have a suggestion." I'm going to hire the men of Essos. I will provide them with an endless supply of food, the only condition is that they will plant trees for me. ”
"Planting trees?" Melisandre's expression froze, apparently the Lord of Light had failed to tell her that there would be this stubble.
"Think of it as if I asked the Lord of Light for a small favor." Li Quan smiled faintly and said, "I've already done the Lord of Light so much, he won't be so stingy and won't give me anything back, right?" I only ask his people to help me plant trees, not to mention that I will pay them wages, food, shelter and marriage, and the conditions are absolutely good. ”
"The Lord of Light is much more generous than you think." Melisandre smiled, "The Lord of Light never hesitates to show his power to his followers. ”
"Does that mean consent?" Li Quan asked.
"Are you a believer in the Lord of Light?" Melisandre asked with a smile.
"At least, I'm his ally." Li Quan said.
Melisandre was silent for a moment, then said, "I can promise you to hire these people for you. The premise is that you have to deliver on the promise you just made. Like you said, I can't refuse a request from an Alliance of the Lord of Light. ”
"Very good." Li Quan nodded with satisfaction, he found that this woman was really smart.
Now that Melisandre was helping him with this, he could rest assured that she would do it. Melisandre herself is a man of Essos, and the Lord of Light is also a popular god of Essos, and a priestess of the Lord of Light comes forward and believes that things will go well.
In this way, he has another area of iron tree cultivation, which is much larger than the three existing areas combined. One step closer to his goal of turning the entire plane of power into a planting base.
Two days later, after arranging everything here, Li Quan left the Power Plane and came to the Demon Beast Plane again, appearing on the Li Farm in the Western Wilderness.
When he came back, he happened to meet Jordan and others who had just returned from leading the team out to explore.
Recently, Jordan began to lead people along the eastern side of the Western Wilderness into the Twilight Forest, and launched a sweep of the Twilight Forest.
The results of the map change are remarkable. A significant number of new plant samples were retrieved and brought back. Jordan also recruited several Night Elf horticulturists to take care of the plant samples on a day-to-day basis until Li Quan took over.
Seeing that Li Quan was back, Jordan immediately took him to the greenhouse without even taking off his armor. Li Quan was overjoyed when he saw it, and praised Jordan heavily, praising Jordan a little embarrassed.
After sending Jordan and the horticulturists away, Li Quan looked at the dazzling array of new varieties of plants in the greenhouse, and began to submit the work impatiently.
It took an hour, and the achievements of the dream team in the past half a month were all turned into Li Quan's system experience. The system experience jumped from just over level 9 to level 9 and a half.
You know, he's just been promoted to level 9 not long ago, and this upgrade speed is really like riding a rocket! Once again, it has been proven wise to encourage agents to do these collections on their behalf.
Before leaving the throne, he also instructed the Forrester family in Irontree Castle to send their soldiers to do the work. I believe that the next time he returns to the power travel plane, there will be a batch of system experience waiting for him to collect.
Li Quan has decided that every place he goes to in the future, he will do this, and he can be upgraded while sitting, isn't it beautiful?
Li Quan is full of anticipation for the new features that will be unlocked by the level 10 system.
With regard to the 10-level system, the system gave him very little forward-looking information. But he still noticed that the hints for unlocking items at level 10 didn't seem to be quite the same as before.
In the past, before each upgrade, the forward-looking prompt given by the system was: "New system features are about to be unlocked, so stay tuned and work hard to improve". But this time, the system gave a hint: "The next stage is about to be unlocked." ”
This made him have to think about it.
Li Quan felt that if he guessed correctly, the things unlocked by this upgrade would definitely be fundamentally different from the previous 9 times. First of all, from the numerical point of view, 10 levels is a span. The system also prompts the "next stage", perhaps, an epic feature that will be unlocked? Maybe it will make some kind of big difference. So much so that the system calls it a new phase.
In any case, level 10 is just around the corner, and at the current crazy speed of a rocket, it won't take him a month or two to submit full experience, and then we'll see.
A few days later, Li Quan received a group of distinguished guests at the Li family's farm. Several mage leaders from Dalaran, including Gianna, and Khadgar.
Dalaran is here to discuss a new collaboration. Today, two-thirds of the production of the Red Bull Heads is eaten by Dalaran, and the Red Bull Heads are entering the market less and less, and the prices are becoming more and more tight. But this is not the most important thing, the blue jar red bullaur that Li Quan took out last time is also the attention of the high-level mages of Dalaran.
After a month or two of trials, the high-level mages of Dalaran responded enthusiastically, and the magic level of the people who drank it all increased significantly, so these people suggested that Dalaran would better get the supplier to provide them with more of this high-end wine.
It is no longer limited to ordinary mages, and now the high-level mages of Dalaran have developed a habit of taking a few sips before going into battle, and if they don't drink Red Minotaur for a day, they will feel uncomfortable, as if something is missing.
There are also stubborn old mages who resist this unnatural means of magical growth, and resolutely resist the Red Tauroman.
But just a month later, it turned out that high-level mages who regularly drank blue cans of red bulloupurs would magically suppress those stubborn mages. As a result, even the most stubborn people have defected and joined the Red Bull Heads supporters, becoming a member of the drunken atmosphere that can be seen everywhere in Dalaran City. No one is going to struggle with higher magic.
As a direct consequence, all of Dalaran's mages voluntarily developed Red Taurocaur dependency. As I said before, if I don't drink for a day, I feel that something is missing, as if even the magic has left me.
With more and more users, there are not enough existing liquors. As the leader of Dalaran Kenrito, Gianna had no choice but to come to Li Quan to negotiate in person. I hope that Li Quan can find a way to increase the output of blue cans.
"I'm really sorry, Ms. Proudmoore, I didn't say it last time, the Blue Can Red Bullaur is using an extremely rare and precious grape variety. This grape is extremely difficult to grow and the yield is very small. Therefore, the production of the blue can red bulloupurian has not been able to do it. You know, I'm a businessman, how can a businessman see the truth that money doesn't make money? The output can't go up, and I'm anxious! ”
Sitting opposite Gianna, Li Quan ran the train with his mouth full, and vigorously explained that the reason for the low yield was the external factors of the species, which could not be changed by human beings. To put it bluntly, do you want more blue cans and red bulloups? Well...... It's not impossible, it depends on whether the price you pay is big enough. Don't want to pay? I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it.
Gianna had already been moved by Li Quan's words, and Xiumei frowned and sat opposite without saying a word, as if she was thinking about this countermeasure.
Li Quan snickered in his heart, what kind of cherished variety, if he really wants to plant it, he can do it in minutes with his fingers. But that's too cheap for the other party.
"Aren't the masters very rich, if you don't have enough money, then exchange things for them." Li Quanxin said. He's been using this strategy all along, thinking of using hunger marketing to squeeze out the good things in the hands of these mages.
You know, these mages have too many good things in their hands. If they don't get some blood, they won't take it out.
"What do you have to do to scale up production?" Gianna glanced at Khadgar, who was stealing wine and drinking on the side, looked at Li Quan, frowned and asked, "Of course I know that everything has a price. Since you need to pay a certain price in order to increase production, I am willing to make up for your losses for you. ”
"Sister, just wait for your words!" Li Quanxin said. He coughed lightly, and said with an embarrassed face, "That's it...... Let me think about it, huh...... If so, it's not impossible. Of course, the price to be paid will certainly be significant. ”
"Tell me about it." Gianna stared at Li Quan and said.
"Then I'll get straight to the point." Li Quan sighed and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to expand the production of this grape. After all, the cultivation of this particular grape is too expensive compared to the grape variety that can make a regular red can of red bull man. If we increase production, it will seriously affect our investment in other areas, which is not in line with the overall interest. But ......"
Li Quan said this, smiled slightly, and then said: "However, since the customer has asked for it, then of course we must also consider the customer's needs." Providing customized services to our customers is also within the scope of our operations. Admittedly, in terms of price, it is not acceptable to most people. After all, we need to take into account the relative losses that have been factored in, and ...... as one of the pricing factors."
"Say, what do you want?" Gianna said rather dryly, "More magic items? Multiplying the gold coins? Or more battlemage guards? ”
Li Quan smiled faintly and shook his head slightly.
None of this was really what he wanted.
Magical items, such as magic dressing mirrors and Arcane showers, were contracted to provide him with a large number of them every month. It's not enough to supply the planet.
Originally, he did intend for Dalaran to increase the supply. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was too uneconomical. Therefore, he was prepared to hire Arcane artisans to make these items himself, which would greatly reduce his dependence on Dalaran and reduce costs. Li Quanxin said that let the mages of Azeroth also witness the power of the cottage.
As for the gold coins, the gold coins that the ordinary Red Bull Leader brought him were already enough. Now, I'm afraid that apart from the Urian family, the territory of Stormwind City belongs to him, the richest earl of South Sea Town.
By the way, speaking of Nanhai Town, he, the nominal lord, has never been to office at all, which seems to be a bit excessive. He's going to go through the motions after he's done dealing with things here, so he can give Varian an an explanation, right? The king also wants to save face.
Without further ado, as for the Battle Mage Guard, it is indeed very important. The battle mages sent by Dalaran last time have now integrated into the Dream Team's outing expedition team and become part of the work for him. Due to the amazing benefits of the employees within the Dream Team, the several battle mages who have experienced the supply of unlimited Red Bull Heads are now a little happy. What is Dalaran? I'm sorry, I don't know.
Although these battle mages are quite strong in combat, Li Quan also does not need more mages to join the dream team, which is the common opinion between him and Jordan.
If a team wants to grow healthily for a long time, it must not have a partial composition. Before these Dalaran mages joined, the Dream Team was a typical nest of warriors, with warriors, thieves, and paladins of all kinds. There are not many legal professions.
The battle mages sent by Dalaran made up for this shortcoming. What the Dream Team is missing now is a support member. The priest's group is supported only by Big Bird Bird and Cardinal Olajuwon, which is a bit less. Not to mention that the druids didn't have any. Warlocks and hunters are also in dire need.
Anyway, I'm sorry, but the Dharma Master is full, please come for treatment.
He doesn't like any of the three things that Gianna proposed now. It's not that he's deliberately making things difficult, it's a fact.
In fact, before that, he had already had a detailed step-by-step plan on how to gradually pull Dalaran into the water step by step. Now it seems that things are going according to his plan, Dalaran has already gotten on his thief ship and can't get off, and then it will be up to him to slowly squeeze out these old and rich masters.
"That's not okay, that's not good, what the hell do you want?" Seeing that Li Quan always shook his head, Gianna was a little annoyed in her heart, and said with a pretty face. Every time she came to negotiate with Li Quan, she felt very aggrieved, and she was always constrained everywhere, which made her feel like she couldn't show it. If it weren't for the fact that Li Quan's reason sounded very reasonable, and Dalaran City really needed these wines, otherwise with her temper, she would have flipped the table a long time ago, and she would have thrown a flame explosion technique and said sorry.
"Rest easy. If I said now, I want the Violet Eye, surely you wouldn't agree? Li Quan groaned slightly, looked at Gianna tentatively, and said.
"Nonsense." Gianna glared at him angrily.
"Then enchant." Li Quan nodded and said. The plan has to be gradual, not too impatient, and the buns must be eaten in one bite. He didn't believe it, and as he kept coming up with better wine, sooner or later this chick would have to sell him even Dalaran!
