Sam and Sanna's wedding was definitely the most lively carnival since the creation of the City of Dusk.

Everyone was in high spirits, with smiles on their faces.

After the gala dinner, there is also a bonfire with singing and dancing.

Richard didn't party with the residents, and most of them couldn't let go of him with him.

Returning to the lord's mansion alone, listening to the lively sounds coming from outside, I felt quite comfortable.

Watching his territory prosper little by little, slowly growing, until now, everyone loves and agrees.

It's hard for outsiders to experience that feeling.

Full of a sense of accomplishment.

After retracting your thoughts, look at the system prompt.

The leadership skills that have been stagnant for a long time have finally been promoted to a high level with the blessing of this wedding.

Leadership: special skills, advanced, 1. Have a very strong personality charm, greatly enhance the attraction of the opposite sex; 2. You can easily persuade and influence your subordinates, so that your subordinates have fanatical trust in you; 3. There is a greater chance that heroes with lower levels than you and heroes with lower potential than you will take refuge.

Compared to intermediate leadership, several key attributes of senior leadership - personal charisma, subordinate trust, and attracting field troops and heroes to take refuge have been improved.

Although there is no specific data quantified, it is definitely not bad.

The only pity is ...... It's a fucking desert here.

"If you put it in a rich place outside, I am afraid that a large number of displaced people will take refuge in the territory every day, and you can see heroes every once in a while."

In a ghost place like the desert, you can't even see a single person, even if it is attractive, what's the use?

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

No matter how attractive it is, do you show it to the air?

Richard could only shake his head.

Continue to look at another prompt.

After the popularity is increased to 95 points, the attached attributes have also been greatly improved.

Shining City: Activate the people's heart at 95 points, obtain a special skill - all as one, once the city of twilight is in danger, the residents and troops who protect the city of twilight will have all attributes increased by 20%.

Collateral characteristics - 1. The residents live and work in peace and contentment in the territory, live happily, worship you incomparably, and everyone will implement the policies you make 100%, and will preach your greatness to the new residents, and will not encounter special circumstances, and the people's will not decline again.

2. Residents will not be rebelled by the enemy, and will swear to defend the territory, and will report to you as soon as they find suspicious outsiders who have infiltrated the territory.

3. The attraction of the city of dusk to the homeless people is increased by 100%, and after coming to the city of dusk, you can integrate into the city faster, and there is a higher probability of attracting high-level talents or high-level heroes to take refuge, and the charm of the city is greatly improved.

Richard was in a better mood after looking at its attributes.

The Bright City is very much in line with his positioning as the City of Dusk.

The new attribute not only gains a passive skill - Unite as One, encounter an enemy siege, and increase everyone's stat.

The rest of the characteristics have also been improved.

The most important thing for him is that if there are no special circumstances, the people's morale will not decline again.

This means that the city of Dusk can be unleashed to develop.

Whether it is to expand the number of residents or formulate policies, there is no need to worry about the poor response of the residents, which will lead to a decline in public morale.

Picking up the teacup, I took a sip beautifully.

It is not in vain that he has invested so much in people's livelihood, and now the return is so sweet.

The only pity is that the higher the people's will, the more difficult it is to rise, I don't know if there is a chance, what it is like to see 100 points.

On the third day after the wedding, Sam, the newlywed, gave up his honeymoon vacation approved by Richard and returned to the blacksmith to begin research on the attack technology of the stone statue of the dead.

It has to be mentioned that Richard originally wanted to try to improve the technology of the Sandstorm Controller first........... But in the end I had to give up.

Because of the caster class, it must be researched in the Mage Tower.

And the City of Twilight has not yet built a mage tower.

He did have the drawings in his hand, but he didn't have that for the time being.

Once the Mage Tower is opened, this thing is definitely another big gold eater, which is really a bit difficult to top.

Let's wait for a few industries to develop, and then talk about it when we have enough confidence in our hands.

"Ding~ Dead Stone Statue Primary Attack, estimated research and development time: 30 days, estimated resources: 10,000 units of crystals, 10,000 units of gems, 10,000 units of sulfur, success rate: 80%."

The Stone Statue of the Dead is indeed terrifying, and the rare resources required to study the primary attack have reached 30,000 units.

In the past, when I studied the scorpion warrior classes, I only needed tens of thousands of ordinary resources.

There is a huge difference between the two.

Wait until the advanced, special, or even master, and only fear hundreds of thousands to get the bottom.

Richard could only be bitter and happy about this, who made the stone statue of the dead so strong.

With the scorpion warrior's master-level technology first, he has high expectations for the technology of the stone statue of the dead.

You don't need to reach the master level technology, as long as you have the super technology, the combat power of the stone statue of the dead can definitely go to the next level.

In addition, after the stone statue of the dead has been strengthened by psionic gems, the initial level of recruitment from the class lair has been increased to level 10.

Same as the Crown 1-star Bone Blood Dragon.

This makes it a logical claim to be the strongest class in the City of Dusk.

A well-deserved trump card.

Thirty thousand resources, Richard did not blink, and piled them directly in the warehouse of the blacksmith shop.

Before Sam's wedding, at the end of October, he went on a trip to the underworld.

At that time, in addition to appeasing the dungeon forces who were uneasy because of the sharing of forging skills, they also bought all the weapons and equipment that Bloodhoof City had exchanged from other forces.

This time it was all new weapons forged, not the tattered ones of the previous ones.

So there has been a big increase in price.

Interestingly, Richard's large-scale sale caused a sensation among players again.

The affordable price, which is one percent lower than the average selling price, made this batch of weapons sold out in an instant.

Although it was easy to sell, Richard also found that the quality of weapons in the trading market had gradually improved.

At least a few months ago, the tattered weapon he used to cut the player's leeks has now completely lost the market.

This also made him vigilant in his heart, and strengthened the idea of promoting the sharing of forging technology in the underground world and improving the overall level of forging.

And once again urge the Crucible City to increase research and development in this area.

If Alchemy Technology can meet his requirements - like the mechanical steel mill of Blue Star, it can produce weapons and equipment on a large scale and in a standardized manner.

Then the city of dusk will definitely be able to occupy a place in the arms trading market.

The special situation of the underground world can also minimize production costs.

Other players may have higher-level forging skills, but definitely not as much as Dusk City - not everyone can rule an underworld.

In this transaction, Richard did not treat Bloodhoof City badly, and took out half of the resources sold as the purchase price.

In order for a horse to run fast, it must be fed good forage.

Bloodhoof City saved him a lot of heart, and it was worth cultivating.

This made Serge Bloodhoof smile from ear to ear.

Although seventy percent of this is the purchase price, he can only earn three percent of it, but this is earned by simply being a middleman, and he doesn't need to pay anything in Bloodhoof City, and it belongs to lying down to make money.

And Richard earned a full 100 million units of ordinary resources from this transaction.

It also filled his empty resource panel.

During this time, Dusk City did not have only this income.

At the beginning of November, 5,000 units of Shirao Brew produced in October were delivered to Solan City.

This transaction brought back 300,000 units of rare resources.

After removing the production cost of 50,000 units, the net profit was 250,000 units.

This time, he also conveniently sent 500 units of premium Desert Crown honey to the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce.

After upgrading to Premium Crown, Desert Crown Honey can produce 140 units per week, which is 560 units per month, and all but a certain amount of retention is sold.

Premium Honey sells for a very good price, with 1,000 rare resources per unit.

This transaction directly allowed him to earn 500,000 units of rare resources.

In total, 750,000 units of rare resources were received this month.

The Flame Dragon Rabbit was originally a big earner of resources, but there was a deal with Rebecca first, and the rabbit fur produced was sent to the Frostwolf family's shop in Solan City along with the Whitetail Brew.

But that's the case.

As a result of this transaction, Richard's resources have reached an unprecedented level of abundance.

But the speed of earning resources is fast, and the speed of spending resources is faster.

From the end of October to November 17th, the class nest was refreshed a total of four times.

A total of 440 stone statues of the dead are produced, each costing 300 gems and 300 crystals, and a total of 264,000 rare resources.

The Sandstorm Master, the other top class, originally had 10 class nests and could only produce 50 classes per week.

But Richard felt that there were fewer of them.

It also spent nearly 40 million units of resources to purchase and promote the lair of the two classes of Sand Mage and Sandstorm Mage, and recombined 10 rare levels of Sandstorm Master.

This brings the number of Sandstorm Master's class nests to 20.

Weekly production has increased to 100 units.

However, the 20 Sandstorm Master Lairs were refreshed four times, bringing the total number to 400.

Add in the production of 50 additional units for an additional week when recruited for the first time for 10 classes, adding up to 400.

Each consumes 200 units of sulfur, which is a total of 90,000 units.

By recruiting these two classes alone, he consumed 354,000 units of rare resources.

Of the rare resources that have just arrived, there are still 400,000 units left.

It may seem like a lot, but there's so much to do in Dusk City.

Not to mention anything else, activating the bloodline in the body of the god-blood dwarf would consume 1 million rare resources.

There's a big gap here.

This is based on the fact that he doesn't plan to continue upgrading his class lair for the time being.

If the Sandstorm Master is promoted to the Brilliant level, the rare resources required for recruitment will definitely skyrocket again.

However, now the resources in his hands are not enough for 20 Sandstorm Masters to upgrade, and Richard can only suspend his actions.

After a month of rampage, the number of troops in the city of Dusk has reached a new height.

Rare Classes –

1. Bandage Mummy Yin (3 nests, weekly production of 21) Current quantity: 336

2. Scorpion Warrior (20 nests, 140 per week) Current number: 554

3. Mu Mu Yin Guardian (3 nests, 30 per week) Current quantity: 720

4. Sand Archer (10 nests, 50 per week) Current quantity: 1000

5. Cursed Pharaoh (1 lair, 5 per week) Current quantity: 105

6. Giant Axe Death Rider (5 lairs, 25 per week) Current quantity: 466

7. Sandstorm Master Mage (20 nests, 100 per week) Current quantity: 500

Brilliant Class

8. Stone Statue of the Dead (11 nests, 100 per week) Current quantity: 1050

A class that does not have a class lair

Rare - Axe of the Dead 515, Sand Mage 420

Brilliant – 240 Dark Gargoyles, 70 Axes of the Dead, 20 Heavy Warriors.

Crown Class - Bone Blood Dragon 160

Among them, the Sandstorm Masters and the Stone Statues of the Dead that he valued the most were very impressive.

Especially the Sandstorm Master, after the number of 500 incarnated into the Sandstorm, has formed a strong combat power.

He tried once, and when he had 100 people, his combat effectiveness increased more than tenfold.

The sheer number of troops has overcrowded the relatively spacious City of Dusk, which can no longer accommodate it.

As a last resort, Richard drew a large area to the west of the ← where the sandstorm intersected as a parking place for the troops.

They are all necromantic troops, and the harsh environment of the desert has no effect on them, and even because of their talents, they can be strengthened in the desert.

This is the solution to this happy trouble.

The hand of time goes to November 20th.

In front of a huge warehouse in the food workshop, Richard looked with interest at the black sorbet that had been packaged in front of him.

"Karui, how much black sorbet have we produced this month?"

The gray-haired, drooping old Karui was in good spirits at the moment, and said excitedly.

"My lord, the current inventory of black gelatin has reached 2.6 million units."

The production of two premium food workshops day and night, combined with the army of 5 squadrons in the underworld to find raw materials, is not a lot of production.

"The Sword Comes"

If it weren't for the rush of time and the lack of supply of raw materials, this figure could have doubled.

Richard nodded, and reached out to remove a piece of black sorbet wrapped like a rice dumpling from a box made of special plants.

Watching his movements, Karui introduced.

"The black sorbet is a common broad-leaved plant in the underworld, which is highly resilient and difficult to tear."

"And it can keep it for several months without decaying, and it can also produce a special fragrance after being stored for a long time, and dungeon life often uses this plant to hold food."

In order to package the black sorbet, the food workshop has put a lot of effort into research.

Richard tore with interest at what was clearly the opening.

A jelly-like black sorbet appears in front of you.

Remove the botanical spoon that came with the package and dig a spoonful.

Put it in your mouth.

The familiar cold feeling instantly permeated the whole body, and the whole person immediately became energetic.

It's a hot day...... It's comfortable.

Although there are no very good attribute bonuses, but just by virtue of being able to beat the heat, black gelatin is a lore in the desert.

Karui seemed to think of something, and hesitated.

"My lord, isn't the price of 20 units of ordinary resources for black sorbet too low?"

Although Radiant Age is a world with extraordinary powers, things like magic plants or magic potions are very expensive.

It is not for nothing that magic plants are added to black gelatin, which can make people relieve the heat, but ordinary people can't afford to consume it at all, and they won't consume it.

20 units of ordinary resources can enjoy the taste of magic, which is unbelievable in the eyes of the natives.

When Richard heard this, a familiar product suddenly came to mind...... Coke.

Coke, which will always sell for only a few dollars, is one of Bluestar's most profitable businesses.

Hundreds of billions of bottles are sold every year.

If the black sorbet can do this, then it will lie down on the mountain of gold and sleep.

"The production cost of black gelatin is not high, and it can be standardized for large-scale production."

"Judging from the current situation, it is more suitable to take the ordinary route, and the sinking market is in line with the positioning of this product as a daily consumer product......"

"There are already similar products in the high-end market, and there is no need to compete with high-end products if there are no too good attributes."

"And it's not that you can't make money because of a low price, in fact, on the contrary, only if it is attractive to buyers, a low price means that the frequency of repeat purchases will increase."

"Although the more expensive things are, the more people will consume them."

"As long as you grasp the profit point, the benefits that can be earned at a low price may be ten times more than a hundred times more than a high price."

As for how to grasp the profit point, Vile, who controls the Violet Chamber of Commerce, has already given an answer.

Karui suddenly realized, and then said with some shame.

"My lord, I'm ignorant...... I didn't expect you to have such profound insights into business. ”

Is this also an insight? It's just common sense, okay...... Looking at this aboriginal who had not received compulsory education, Richard could only pat the other party's shoulder to show comfort.

"Send all the black sorbet to Solan City and let Vill start our plan."

"Violet Chamber of Commerce, we need a fist product to open the market."

Karui immediately perked up.

Selling the products of the City of Dusk to Solan City was a scene he could not have imagined when he came to this ruined territory a few months ago.

Now I feel like I'm in a dream.

In just half a year, everything has changed.

The current city of twilight is no longer the city of twilight it used to be.

After coming back to his senses, he looked at the mountains of black condensed sorbet, excited and distressed.

"My lord, are we going to use sandworms?"

"Of course, let the Crucible pull the Mechanical Boat out, this time, let the Sandworm pull the Mechanical Boat."

2.6 million units, if this is transported by flying troops, it will be time to go back and forth, and he will not be allowed to do it for ten days and half a month.

Didn't you do anything during this period?

The sandworms have grown to 60 meters, and 10 sandworms can transport these black gelatins to Solan City in one trip.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, he invested so much in this area in the early stage, isn't it just for this moment.
