Chapter 1134: Hoarding Chips
"What do you want to do?" Qiong Xi and the others were stunned, why did this guy suddenly say that he was going to go back the same way?
"Naturally, we have to go back and prepare some chips, and it is difficult for us to go to the high-level of the elven clan like this, and it is difficult to gain anything substantial. Shen Chen smiled confidently, and then he looked at Shulong beside him and asked, "Bluewater Town seems to be a casting town, right?"
"That's right, because this is the junction of the dwarven territory and the elven territory, and there is the second largest ore vein in the natural kingdom nearby, the geographical location is special, so this is also the second largest casting town in the kingdom of the gods, and in the event of a war, this will become one of the main places for the mass production of weapons. Shulong was stunned for a moment, and then said truthfully.
"Well, let's go back then. Shen Chen nodded, before in the town, he had seen many large-scale foundry workshops, and dwarves and elves were infested in large numbers, and he heard some rumors.
Immediately, this black merchant group turned around and wanted to rush back to Bluewater Town.
Those young and strong people who started it, although they were puzzled, they didn't say much, just follow the boss, anyway, if they run more, they can get an extra day or two of wages.
"I'm very strange, the border between the dwarven territory and the elven territory, how can this become a foundry town?" Along the way, Qiong Xi asked in confusion.
"It's very simple, the dwarves are proficient in forging, and the elves are proficient in inscribed divine patterns, and the combination of the two can produce weapons with divine powers as quickly and with the highest quality. Nishizawa said with a smile, this situation has long been known to everyone in the big forest.
Qiong Xi's big eyes blinked, and he vaguely guessed what this guy wanted to do, he wanted to get a large number of weapons and equipment to do business with the elf high-level.
This idea is really speechless, it's really too dark, and when I hear the signs of war, I want to use it to raise my value.
"Green girl, don't stare at me with that kind of eyes, think about the good side of everything, I do this now, maybe after the war starts, it will also be a help to the elves and the natural gods. Shen Chen smiled casually, looking confident.
Since the last time he collected a large number of drawings and alchemy classics in Moro God City, the Ancient Mirror has not stopped exploring these things.
The ancient mirror has the force of the five elements, which is originally a terrifying existence in this regard, coupled with the precipitation of different civilizations in the two planes, it naturally has unique conditions.
Before making this decision, Shen Chen also consulted Gu Jing's opinion, and the latter promised that several quite good weapons could be designed for him, and Shen Chen's focus was on missing arrows.
Two days later, the Black Merchant Regiment returned to Bluewater Town, and Shen Chen sent those helpers out to contact the town's inscribed god pattern masters, as well as excellent forgers.
Gu Jing stayed in the inn to think of a new magic arrow plan for him, while Shen Chen himself took Qiong Xi, Xi Ze, and Amu to the major mining and gold shops in the town to buy materials.
"How do I feel, your intention is not only to create a batch of powerful magic arrows. Qiong Xi said suspiciously.
"Well, there aren't many types of materials that make misses. Shen Chen smiled indifferently.
"You don't want to hoard Juqi, do you?" Qiong Xi was stunned, Amu and Xi Ze were also stunned, this guy's idea is really bold.
He actually had to take away the materials suitable for casting arrows in the town before the war was finalized, so that no matter whether the arrows he made people create were surprising enough, the elves who were in a shortage of resources at that time might take his things very seriously.
"It's a shame that you don't become a profiteer. Qiong Xi pouted and said.
Nishizawa was worried: "Although Bluewater Town is one of the most important towns in the Kingdom of God, but the casting town of the Kingdom of God is not only Bluewater Town, when the time comes, will the elves find another way!"
"Those who are proud of them will not be coerced. Amu also reminded.
This idea is very bold, but whether it can be achieved is full of too many variables.
"What you said is right, but you must know that if it is really a threat from the Divine War Continent, then the forest warriors in this area will be the main force, and the elves here will be the absolute protagonists of the main army, and it is not realistic for them to go to more distant places to mobilize war resources in a short period of time. ”
Shen Chen shook his head and smiled: "Moreover, I don't completely expect to rely on monopoly to make the elf clan submissive, the key is to see the power of the arrow, which exceeds the highest level they can create by themselves." ”
"How is this possible?" exclaimed Nishizawa, "In the past, if there was a war, the elven clan mainly came to Bluewater Town to order arrows, and most of the foundry masters and inscription masters here have long-term cooperation with them, and now Brother Shen, you invite the people here to start work, even if they do their best, it is difficult to surpass the weapons provided for the elven clan in the past." ”
"What Brother Nishizawa said is very true, I also heard that the elves who are the best at using arrows have their own peculiar arrow loss forging schemes, and when needed, they will send capable people in the clan to cooperate with those foundries and inscription masters in the town to start work, in principle, these people in the town can't even reach the level of arrow loss set by the elves for a long time. Amu also nodded, for fear that Brother Shen would be busy in vain.
Shen Chen smiled but said nothing, at this point, he naturally had absolute confidence in the ancient mirror.
Qiong Xi knew some insiders, and was naturally moved, that ancient mirror, which had previously been said to be able to transform the treasures brought from the former plane for them, was definitely outstanding in this way.
In fact, Qiong Xi didn't know that in this regard, the ancient mirror had already had a divine stroke, Shen Chen's first forbidden weapon to seal the gods, as well as the later restoration of the god refining diagram, and even the transformation of the Nine Heavens Immortal Qin, the ancient mirror played an extremely important role.
Those handicrafts, I'm afraid that looking at the eye realm, can't find an alchemy caster who can compare with it, and besides, the fusion of the two planes should be able to achieve unique things that are difficult for the elf clan and even the entire god realm to imitate, which is his biggest advantage at present.
Originally, Shen Chen planned to use some of Shen Chen's treasures to seek treatment from the elves and then get the divine spring water, but he also realized that doing so might be too costly, and he might not be able to succeed.
Therefore, after learning about the signs of war, he suddenly thought of this countermeasure, if it can be carried out smoothly, he can even take the initiative in the negotiation with the elves in the future......
After coming to the first gold mining shop, Shen Chen did not rush to buy anything, but asked the boss about the sales of similar goods in Bluewater Town when the war broke out in the past.
This is very important, Shen Chen needs to assess the overall volume, what is the approximate range, to see if he can swallow it.
Although the owner of the shop didn't know why he asked about this, he was patient when he heard that he was going to talk about a big order later, and said with a smile: "Generally speaking, the specific arrow loss of the elf clan needs to use most of the materials for casting the arrow loss, and the cost is higher than the highest level of mass production of arrow loss in the town, which is generally about 10 god walls, and the latter is about 8 god walls. ”
Shen Chen nodded secretly, like the kind of divine arrow that Feng Yue got, it must be impossible to mass-produce, it is no longer an ordinary arrow lost, but a powerful secondary weapon that can be used infinitely, it is not the same thing.
And the ordinary arrow loss, although it also has divine power, and the elves who are proficient in this way also have a certain recovery rate on the battlefield, but they still have a lot of consumption, because when encountering a strong enemy, the divine energy of the arrow loss needs to be released at one time, in that case, the arrow loss will be scrapped.
Qiong Xi's eyes flashed, and he continued to ask for him: "In the past, when the elven clan participated in a war, how many arrows did they usually order in the town?"
"It depends on the scale of the war, as far as I know, the largest order volume seems to be 20 million, that time, the entire Bluewater Town's qualified foundry and inscription master, it took more than ten days to complete, and a considerable part of the materials were urgently transferred from other places with the help of the temple. The boss looked at them in surprise and said.
The boss guessed that Shen Chen and the others might be businessmen, and they heard some secrets about the border wasteland, thinking that they wanted to take the opportunity to make a windfall.
But it's none of his business, but he likes to hear about it, because he can also take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
Subsequently, Shen Chen discussed some numerical issues with the boss, the important thing is the storage capacity of relevant materials in Bluewater Town, etc.
Although these can't get accurate figures, they can be roughly assessed, Shen Chen deliberately chose such a small shop, and sure enough, the monkey boss here knows this information well, and he is a very shrewd businessman.
After discussing for more than half an hour, Shen Chen already had a rough answer in his heart.
The war that requires the large-scale participation of the elves in this area has not appeared for decades, and during this period, many of the arrow-related materials in Bluewater Town have flowed out and been mobilized to other places, but the overall reserves have also reached a peak.
Shen Chen roughly analyzed that the current reserves of arrow lost materials in Lanshui Town should be able to forge about 18.5 million excellent arrows.
According to the cost of each of the 10 Divine Walls, 18,500 Divine Walls are needed, and it is impossible for him to swallow them all, but it seems that there is no need for this.
If the goddess of the temple can mobilize in person, it must be that the war in the western border may escalate to a very terrifying level.
At that time, the arrows required by the elven warriors in this area will definitely be extremely large, and may be close to the highest level in the past.
As long as Shen Chen wins some of these orders, it will be enough to make a huge gap in the demand of the elf clan, and when the time comes, his opportunity will come.
Secretly, Shen Chen didn't talk nonsense, and said: "All the basic materials for casting arrows in the store are given to me, but they have to be discounted." ”
Because the action is too large, Shen Chen also has to save, and he can't spend a lot of money.
"Hehe, no problem!" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, he laughed heartily, and talked for a long time, and sure enough, he didn't waste his saliva, this is a very intentional businessman.
In the end, Shen Chen bought all the fine materials related to this shop, and spent more than one million Shenbi.
And there are hundreds of gold mining shops of a similar scale in Bluewater Town, plus those scattered shops, if you want to swallow a mouthful, you definitely need huge financial support.
Shen Chen pondered for a moment, and handed over the remaining tens of millions of divine walls on his body to Xi Ze and Amu, and asked the two of them to continue to go to this kind of shop one by one to purchase materials.
And he himself, with Qiong Xi, wants to go to the Chamber of Commerce to sell something.
"With such a huge total, how much share are you going to swallow?" Qiong Xi muttered on the way to the Chamber of Commerce.
"Fraction. ”
"500,000?"
"No, it's 8.5 million!"
"......" Qiong Xi was surprised, this guy is too bad, this is obviously not to make a small gap in the needs of the elf race, but to almost cut it in half.
