Chapter VIII Malicious Price Reduction
The bumps and bumps in the operation of the first week of the new fighting spirit almost exhausted Lu Chengfeng's mind.
It took him four or five hours before he could finish it. However, after the first Dou Qi cycle is completed, the smoothness of the following Dou Qi runs abruptly. With the consolidation of two consecutive times, Lu Chengfeng's body quickly got used to the new Heavenly Wind Dou Qi, and began to run continuously with a route of 72 Dou Qi.
Although it can't be compared with the real Tianfeng Dou Qi at all, Lu Chengfeng's new Dou Qi still makes the strength of this body have been greatly improved.
In terms of cultivation efficiency alone, the Heavenly Wind Dou Qi of 72 Dou Qi is at least five times that of 24 Dou Qi. With further optimization, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this number. As for other aspects, whether it is the total amount of Dou Qi, or the speed of operation and recovery of Dou Qi, it has also been greatly improved. If the previous third-order Dou Qi was like a trickling stream, then although the current Dou Qi is still a third-order, it has been upgraded to a river. Even though the rank has not changed, it is no longer the same.
If the current Lu Chengfeng used the Earth Crack Wave Sword again, he would not be as difficult as before.
Feeling that the cyclone formed by Tianfeng Douqi, which was twice as large as the original, spontaneously rotated in his body, increasing his strength all the time, Lu Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction.
Now that the new Dou Qi has taken shape, the next thing to do is to slowly optimize it until he finds the ultimate Dou Qi Gong method in the Heavenly Wind Empire's Imperial Secret Vault - Infinite Frost Technique. However, that was something that needed to be considered after the fifth order, and before that he didn't have to worry about the Dou Qi Gong method.
Solving the problem of fighting spirit, Lu Chengfeng turned his attention to his last shortcoming.
That's a lightsaber!
Compared to traditional weapon genres, lightsabers are a completely different new weapon. The Lu family's gorgeous and powerful lightsaber skills are all tailor-made for lightsabers. If you use other weapons to wield your sword skills, you will either not be able to use them to their full potential, or you will not be able to complete them at all. If he didn't even have a real lightsaber, what would Lu Chengfeng talk about revitalizing the lightsaber genre and even recreating the glory of the lightsaber royal family?
Therefore, his immediate priority is to find a way to gather materials and find a top craftsman who is capable of forging lightsabers.
What made Lu Chengfeng a little relieved was that his destination this time, Kaiyang, the capital of the Lanwu Empire, was one of the top cities in the Mofeng Continent. Here, there are countless powerhouses, alchemists, and blacksmith grandmasters. He could have considered staying here for a while longer, preparing for his first lightsaber after being reborn!
In the last part of the trip, the wind and tide channel were calm.
Maybe he didn't expect the Tianhong to be able to repel the attack of the black wolf bandits, the son of the city lord of Changyuan City that Lu Chengfeng offended, that is, Lin Powu, did not arrange more followers. Finally, on July 6, 1460 in the continental calendar, the day before the summer festival, the Tianhong slowly sailed into Kaiyang City with the help of the thrust of the last section of the wind tide.
This city, which is said to have been built on sand dunes, was the capital of the Arashimu Empire.
After the transformation of the Celestial Clan mage in the Cloud Realm with a rune array, the once sand dunes have long disappeared after a few hundred years, and have been replaced by a lush city. With a population of millions, merchants and swordsmen from all over the mainland, and the convenience of the Changle Trendy Channel, this prosperous and luxurious city has become the economic and cultural center of the western part of the Mofeng Continent.
Here you can see everything on the continent, top-level magic equipment, alchemy potions, fighting qigong methods, and sword art classics......
Although he already knew the scale of Kaiyang from the memory of fusion, when the Tianhong slowly sailed into the airport on the hill outside Kaiyang City, the condescending overlook still made Lu Chengfeng admire. Even with the critical eyes of the prince of the Heavenly Wind Empire, he had to admit that this was a great city at this moment. Back then, Tianfeng's imperial capital song was nothing more than this when it was at its peak.
Even, it's slightly inferior!
The Changle Trendy Channel, which has only been developed and emerged in the last 200 years, has greatly facilitated long-distance shipping, making this central city with a length of 80 kilometers from north to south finally surpass the Chaoge City 1,200 years ago. Due to the presence of spirits in the nearby Endless Forest, the art and architecture here have inevitably been influenced by the spirits, becoming delicate and ornate, giving people a sense of beauty.
"Captain?"
Seeing Lu Chengfeng looking at Kaiyang in front of the railing, the guard next to him couldn't help but urge him softly.
Wang Xuan, the sword master standing beside him, also stared at Lu Chengfeng with the same expectant eyes.
For Wang Xuan, the moment the Tianhong docked at the ridge airport, his mission was already complete. You can successfully receive double the honorarium, and then enjoy a few days in Kaiyang. Whether it's a coquettishly dressed long-legged sexy waitress in a tavern, or a dark beer full of foam and a fragrant wheat aroma, it is Wang Xuan's favorite!
"Sorry sorry, I thought of something......"
After being reborn, Lu Chengfeng's vision was no longer comparable to the little captain before. He glanced back, and saw through the thoughts of the guards and Wang Xuan, so he summoned the crew and guards and began to distribute money!
This immediately caused everyone to cheer.
The salary of ordinary crew members is very low, and it is only ten gold coins a month. The salary of the third-order guards is relatively objective, as for the temporarily hired sword master Wang Xuan, because of the double salary, the gold coins given are enough for an ordinary family of three to live comfortably in Kaiyang for a few years!
Just paying these salaries will spend all the rest of Lu Chengfeng's money. Fortunately, he still has a shipload full of goods. These luxury goods from Faroe Bay, pearls, corals, and many magical materials, even at the cheapest price, can be sold for at least 60,000 gold!
If they are packaged and auctioned by the trading houses, the price of these luxury goods can be doubled.
Although there is no follow-up channel, Lu Chengfeng is already content. After deducting the capital of 26,000 gold coins, he could make double the profit this time. His predecessor spent two months in Faroe Bay, and spent money to buy off the petty officials who controlled the supply channels, so that he could get such a shipment. Now it seems that everything is worth it. Earning 30,000 gold in two months is definitely something worth boasting about for a lifetime for a small businessman.
Although Lu Chengfeng doesn't care about money, everything starts from scratch after being reborn, and it will definitely not work without money.
Out of concern for the cargo, after Lu Chengfeng sent Wang Xuan away, he arranged for two more right-hand men to watch the ship, and then he slipped into the airport alone.
He was going to ship to the comptoir he remembered working with a few times.
As the largest airport in the western part of the Mofeng Continent and the terminal section of the Changle Wind Tide Channel, the Ridge Airport has at least hundreds of flying ships entering and leaving every day. If you encounter a large caravan entering the port, it is common to have thousands of ships a day. Such a large throughput is not something that can be taken over by just three or two families. In the vicinity of the airport, at least dozens of chambers of commerce, organizations and auction houses belonging to different forces have set up stations here to buy, sell and take over goods.
The business opportunities here are endless.
After walking down the hill for about 300 meters along this street, Lu Chengfeng came to the Chumen Commercial Bank.
In the memory of Lu Chengfeng's fusion, this business house can also be regarded as a big force in Kaiyang, and it is said that it is supported by a saint-level powerhouse who was named a protector of the country by the principality. And before that, Lu Chengfeng's three transactions here were also quite smooth.
However, this time is different.
In charge of receiving him was a shopkeeper he hadn't seen before. This gray-clothed old man has average strength, but he also has a third-order peak. After taking over the ship number and cargo list submitted by Lu Chengfeng, he was still careless, but he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his brows raised slightly. After pretending to be okay and reading the list, he glanced at Lu Chengfeng with his spare eyes, took out a copy of the thick spy report on the table while he was not paying attention, glanced at it hastily, and then put it back quietly.
Lu Chengfeng sat there patiently, as if he didn't see anything.
The gray-clothed old man who had finished making small movements groaned for a moment, glanced at Lu Chengfeng meaningfully, returned to normal, and began to assess the value of the cargo on the flying ship. After spending two or three minutes before and after, he snapped the list and nodded, "Captain Wang, we have also dealt with each other." I won't talk nonsense, this cargo is priced at 20,000 gold coins, and we will take it!"
"How much?"
This number made Lu Chengfeng stunned, and he almost thought that he had heard it wrong. Isn't the actual value of this cargo in the 60,000 gold coins? If it catches up with a special time, for example, there are big businessmen speculating, it is possible to sell it for 80,000 or 90,000 gold coins!
Twenty thousand gold?
What is this? He doesn't even have enough capital!
Lu Chengfeng's surprise was expected by the old man in gray, he looked at Lu Chengfeng with a smile, nodded and confirmed: "That's right, it's 20,000 gold." ”
Pressing down the bad premonition in his heart, Lu Chengfeng forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said in a consultative tone: "I have also cooperated with the Trumen Chamber of Commerce several times, this price is a bit unkind, right? Could it be that the shopkeeper misestimated the price?"
"The price is right. ”
Seeing that Lu Chengfeng had the intention of questioning, the gray-clothed old man immediately restrained the smile on his face, sat up straight and looked at him indifferently, and said arbitrarily: "Twenty thousand gold coins, not a penny more! If Your Excellency is willing to trade, you have to hurry." ”
"I'm sorry. ”
Lu Chengfeng is also a temperamental person, seeing that the old man in gray maliciously lowered the price to such a point, he immediately flicked his sleeves and stood up: "Since Chumen Commercial Bank has no sincerity, then I have to find something else." ”
"Young man, he doesn't have much ability, and his temper is not small. ”
The old man in gray shook his head and sneered, stopping him and said, "Boy, we yin people don't say dark words. You are a helpless small businessman, you offended the city lord of Changyuan City of the Tang River Empire, and you were chased and killed by black wolf bandits, and your situation is very bad. If it is usual, I will give you a price of 60,000 gold for your shipment. But now...... Hehe, no matter where you go, the price you are given will be pressed to death, and you will wait to lose your pants!"
