Chapter 16: The Six Arts of the Gentleman: The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask for money
Although he had come up with a magical item manufacturing system that could take effect normally in different planes, the problem in front of Chen Zhou had not been completely solved.
As the core of the magic item, the gem used for the power supply part is still a required item.
"This is too fake, how can Blue Star's high-grade gems be more expensive than Asta."
While browsing the jewelry store on Amazon, while constantly sweeping Lily to the side who was lying on the mouse and staring at the gems on the web page with envy, Chen Zhou silently calculated what level of magic items his funds could make.
And the answer is - rotten street goods.
As an earl, he was horribly poor, and most of the money he collected from the Star Folk was basically invested in the development of the Great River Territory, and there were only a few hundred gold coins at his disposal.
After all, Chen Zhou usually does not need to spend money on what he does in Daheling.
A few hundred gold coins may seem like a lot at first glance, but the Infinity Coke cup he made last year when he was still in Blossom Harbor was already at that price......
If you want to create a strange thing that can turn people into magical girls (both men and women), thousands can only be counted as mass-produced.
Stockpiling is always the easiest option to improve performance.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhou called Liu Yi without thinking: "I need money." ”
The latter sighed in his heart when he heard this, why did he ask for money to come to him?
"How much?"
"In your currency, let's say a few million."
“……”
This golden gradient is really not polite at all.
He had just come to Blue Star and could ask for millions in less than a week, and he didn't dare to think about how much it would cost after a while!
"Money is just a number for you."
Seeing that the other end of the phone fell into a silence that didn't know what to say, Chen Zhou explained: "In fact, what I really need is not money, but the resources that money can be exchanged for. ”
When Liu Yi heard this, he suddenly realized, he almost forgot that the other party was a holy warrior who was the god of machinery and industrialization, and it was natural that he would need resources to make it.
It's just that I don't know what this holy warrior wants to make on a whim, and the material of this magnitude is some kind of spectacle.
"It's not a big problem, Earl, but I have to know what you have to make to help you apply, otherwise it will be difficult to approve the materials of this specification."
Magical girl transformer, can this kind of thing be said too?
It felt like he was going to be discredited once he said it, but he was still very popular with the Star People.
"We're going to make ......."
"Staff! A kind of staff that can be used in the magic network environment of Blue Star, like guns and missiles, has a certain intelligence, and ordinary people can also activate it normally! ”
"Seriously!?" Liu Yi was immediately ecstatic.
Money has never been an issue with national budgets, and the biggest problem with Asta's staff is that only spellcasters and UMD personnel can use it to manipulate the invisible arcane power of their own will.
A staff that can be used by ordinary people in the Blue Star is tantamount to a portable high-yield weapon, and can also increase the combat ability of individual soldiers to the limit through a variety of spell effects!
"No problem, this application will definitely be approved!" Liu Yi slapped the board for his superiors on the spot, "But after all, we are parishioners, can you ...... this technique when you see it?"
"The pastor and the immediate boss are parishioners, and it is impossible to change the pastor of another church."
After all, the main focus of the industrialized church is a down-to-earth atmosphere, but Chen Zhou thought about waiting for a few hundred years, and he estimated that he would no longer care about the material side of the subject.
"The drawings can be given to you, but considering your technical problems, if you want to mass production, it must be simplified."
Liu Yi nodded again and again, he understood.
You don't need a Gundam, Zagu is enough, and modern warfare is all about beauty that can be replicated in batches and equivalents.
2*1 is far inferior to 1.1*10.
As long as there is such a batch of staffs, it is possible to make a company of professional soldiers invisible and parachute into, teleport to important locations such as enemy headquarters and Capitol Hill!
"As long as you don't do evil or abuse magic, I don't care how you use mass-produced staffs, anyway, transport the materials I want to Dixon Pier as soon as possible, and the locals will pick you up."
After that, he simply hung up the phone decisively and sent the materials he needed to the other party in the form of text messages.
That being said, these materials still don't cover all of his needs, and a good gem (or similar magically significant core) remains at the top of the staff's agenda.
However, synthetic gemstones are meaningless, and only materials that have been slowly transformed by magical energy in a natural environment have the value of making strange things.
"By the way, a few more tons of artificial gems for Lily as a snack." Thinking of this, he sent a text message to Liu Yi again, ignoring the dark face of the other party on the other end of the phone.
Even if the cost of artificial gems is the price of cabbage, I have never seen anyone eat cabbage by the ton!
"I guess it's not as good as a real gem...... It's better to dry a small fish.'"
"Alas, all the gems on the Blue Star side that have the potential to be used as magic materials are expensive, so we still have to go back to Dahe to get it."
Seeing that the other party was going back to Asta just a few days after he arrived, Rat Mouse couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
According to the function of the staff described by the other party, even Asta probably won't have enough excellent gems, right?
Thousands of years have passed since the stable magic web, and Asta's production of magical materials has always been decreasing year by year.
Even if the half-plane state is gradually restored with the return of the tide of mana, it is impossible to produce the required materials in a short period of time.
"But there must have been suitable materials tens of thousands of years ago, didn't we just know a friend from the end of the Roland Empire?"
The rat is speechless, how can there be a friend who exerts all his strength to beat up.
But if it was the white dragon from the ancient period, it remembered that there were indeed many gems of sufficient quality in the other party's collection.
"But if you squeeze David like this, I guess he'll be thinking about running away sooner or later, right?"
Chen Zhou was dumbfounded, he didn't squeeze the white dragon, and he was thinking about running away all day long.
"I didn't say that I wanted to prostitute him for nothing, it's more uncomfortable than killing a dragon, can't you just exchange something of the same value with David?"
"What is of the same value?"
Lily's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this, how could she not know that there were other treasures hidden in the other party's body?
"I'm not so poor that I'm destitute, money ...... such a thing"
Chen Zhou stretched out his hand helplessly, and according to the knowledge he learned more than a month ago, through the power of mythology and the innate extreme cold bloodline of his body, a Zhen Ice that exuded a bone-chilling cold slowly took shape.
This illusion magic material, which only existed during the ancient Holy Lauland Empire, was rubbed into a fist-sized piece by his hand.
"Magical materials like this can be rubbed by hand, but I think that misusing the power of magic and mythology will incur the disgust of the Church of Magic and the Church of Wealth."
"Didn't you think that Zhen Ice could actually be used as the core of the staff?"
“……”
Chen Zhou really didn't think about it that much, "ice" is also a gem in a sense.
