Chapter 65: Manual Work
"Well, I have no right to interfere with your will, nor do I intend to convince you to become a true adventurer. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Now tell me, how much steel can you transport?" Crete crossed his hands over his chest, his eyes revealing a scrutinizing gaze.
"Does this have anything to do with the security we're talking about?" Lu Li asked rhetorically without showing weakness.
From the very beginning, he could feel that this young man was obviously not an ordinary adventurer, but more like some kind of special member directly belonging to the guild, but he didn't know whether this special was a spy or a protective nature.
Crete spread his hands: "Of course it matters, it determines how much power the guild can use to help you stay safe." To take the simplest example, if you can fill this car with steel on hand, then my teacher will send someone to help you clean up all the monsters along the way, and if you can fill ten cars, then my teacher can help you build an underground warehouse here. ”
"An underground warehouse?!" Lu Li raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"That's right! There are very few spellcasters among the adventurers who are good at supporting magic skills with land attributes, and they can easily carve out huge spaces underground, so there is no problem building an underground warehouse. Crete explained with a smile.
There was no doubt that this proposal made Lu Li very excited, and he really needed a storage base, so he replied without hesitation: "I think it should be no problem to fill ten cars! Please let Elder Renard send someone to build me a large underground warehouse." ”
"Are you sure?!" Crete's eyes widened, completely unable to believe his ears.
You know, that's about a hundred tons, and Kempera's annual steel production is not necessarily that much, with this steel, the shortage of weapons and armor can be greatly alleviated, and adventurers can get better equipment.
"Yes, I'm pretty sure, I'm going to get ready for the move now, you'd better hurry up, and in an hour and a half, I'll be bringing in a steady stream of steel, and hopefully there will be enough people to help by then." With that, Lu Li ignored the young man's shocked petrified expression, touched Meow Lori's head, turned around and walked through the gate, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
As soon as he left with his front foot, Apollonius couldn't help but shout on his back foot, "Hey, hey, hey, did you hear me?" the boss said he could bring in a hundred tons of steel! Oh my God! How many weapons and armor could this make?!"
"Many, many, so much that we won't be able to use them up in our lifetime!"
Diodorus, who had always been steady, also trembled slightly, and glanced down at the bronze battle axe and bronze cuirass that had followed him for more than a year, and he had a hunch that he was about to say goodbye to this tattered equipment......
Lily hugged her beloved Miao knife tightly and muttered, "Meow, with steel, first make a kitchen knife for my mother, then two short swords and daggers, and my favorite flying knife......
Well, this little guy has entered the fantasy world, and his head is full of silver glittering weapons and armor.
There is no way, Kempera's demand for iron ore has reached the point of hunger, and if it were not for the continuous supply of merchants from other places, I am afraid that it would have been impossible to hold on to the output of local mines alone.
Lu Li didn't know what a hundred tons of steel meant to this mythical city of wonders, because he was carefully using two corner iron to squeeze the main bronze door, put it all into a magic pocket, and then stuffed it into a suitcase, and dragged out of the house.
Needless to say, he must have planned to move the door to the warehouse where the steel was stored, and then ship all the inventory at once.
This is the most time-saving and labor-saving method he can think of, otherwise transporting tons of steel to residential areas, not to mention how many people's attention will be aroused, can exhaust people to death just by transporting them back to the room.
Of course, it's not much better now, at least a heavy physical labor is inevitable, and fortunately there is a 1:10 magic backpack, otherwise he would have vomited blood.
Calling a taxi, Lu Li soon arrived at a dilapidated warehouse less than 500 meters away from the steel market.
Due to the collapse in steel prices, thieves are reluctant to steal these heavy and worthless things, so there is not even a security guard or camera, only a new lock hanging from the gate.
Obviously, this is the place for him!
"Hehe, it's perfect, it looks like I don't need to lie to that Mr. Xu......"
Talking to himself, Lu Li quickly took out the key to open the lock, pushed the door and walked in, and instantly saw that the dilapidated warehouse was densely packed with cut ordinary steel bars, tungsten steel plates, and martensitic stainless steel blocks.
To prevent confusion, each pile of steel is labelled so that even a layman can tell it at a glance.
Without any hesitation, he immediately locked the warehouse door and carefully checked his surroundings to make sure that there was no second exit and no one peeked nearby, and then carefully took the bronze door out of his magic backpack and placed it in the most inconspicuous corner.
After doing all this, Lu Li took a deep breath and began to work as a coolie. He first stuffed about a hundred kilograms of steel into his magic backpack, then loaded it onto the trailer and pushed it to the other side of the door.
When the first car full of three tons of steel appeared in the eyes of people in another world, they instantly fell into madness!
Renard, who had just arrived with the team, directly grabbed one of the pieces, weighed it in his hand, and exclaimed excitedly: "This is steel! It's fine pure steel! It's great! You can really get steel!"
"I'm an honest businessman, as long as I promise to do something, even if it's a dead end, I have to do it. Lu Li sat on the ground and replied breathlessly.
Although his body has been strengthened, he can carry thirty pieces of steel weighing one hundred kilograms in a row, and he is starting to be a little unbearable, and the whole person is sweating profusely, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many people around him for fear of affecting his image, he can stick his tongue out like a dog.
"Good, good, very good! I assure you, as an elder, that when this war against the lords is over, the guild will grant you a tax exemption. Now hurry up and keep moving for me. With that, Renard raised his hand and slapped him encouragingly.
But the strength of his hand seemed to be a little big, Lu Li instantly felt like he was punched by a giant, and fell to the ground with a thud, a red handprint appeared on his back, and he grinned in pain, and secretly raised a middle finger towards the old man in his heart.
After two sips of water, he took off his shirt and continued his laborious work bare-chested, until he managed to manage all the 120 tons of steel with a potion of stamina and a potion of strength that Crete sponsored for free.
