Chapter 210: Final Preparations
As the Bashu craftsmen completed the Flying Fish Lady ship, Lei Changye issued them the last wave of wages. To their surprise, Lei Changye not only gave them the salary they had promised, but also doubled the original salary as a reward for completing the project one month ahead of schedule, which was called a "bonus" by Lei Changye.
In the end, Lei Changye gave Ge Shangchuan and the foremen a special roll of paper made of small colored paper like a raccoon note, and instructed them to distribute it to the craftsmen, one stack per person.
The literate craftsman recognized the words written on the scroll: "Buffet voucher".
After a few days of preparation, Lei Changye successfully transferred the card club that was opened in Huichuan Mansion to the ship of Flying Fish Lady. At the same time, he also opened a Shuxiu restaurant on the Da Niang boat, specializing in serving Shuxiu snacks and Shuxiu buffets. Those who hold a buffet voucher can redeem three vouchers for one meal.
When the card club and restaurant opened, the big players in the city who had long heard that the buffet was delicious flocked to the Flying Fish Lady Ship and became the first wave of guests in Lei Changye.
On the opening day, Lei Changye mobilized more than 100 Yin generals, tightly guarded the bottom and middle cabins, and closed the upper deck. This is the most luxurious ship in the Tang Dynasty, which is still half-covered with a pipa, and only shows the guests the commercial street of the middle-level cabin, but it is enough to make people marvel at the novelty.
The big players from all walks of life who came to Aikawa Mansion walked around the street in amazement, probing their heads to look around each room, curious about the inner workings of the ship.
The aroma of Shuxiu snacks and buffets is even more memorable. The shouting of friends and the sound of cheering and roaring in the card club, for some reason, make people even more hungry, and they can't help but want to go in for a meal or a handful of games.
The price set by Lei Changye for the buffet was extremely expensive. He set the unit price according to the most edible food in the rivers and lakes, which is enough to scare people to death. But fortunately, the big players who wandered around in the big mother's boat were well-informed, and they had long known that the Bashu craftsmen had vouchers.
Before they came, they had done everything possible to exchange money from the Bashu craftsmen for a lot of vouchers. Nowadays, although it costs a lot of money, it is still more profitable than the real buffet price.
So the news that the voucher is easy to use spread. Almost all the Bashu craftsmen exchanged the vouchers for enough money and food to keep them fed. This is also a wave of benefits that Lei Changye sent to them, allowing them to enjoy the sweetness of working for him. In the future, as long as he ascends to the heights, these Bashu craftsmen will inevitably follow.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of all the Shuxiu buffets to become famous, Lei Changye issued a hanging red in the Wumeng branch altar to purchase the corpse of the witch beast with the Shuxiu voucher.
Bai Yinyi, who had just enjoyed the luxurious feast of the big lady's boat, rushed to the main hall of the branch altar with players from all walks of life.
So far, Lei Changye has arranged everything from birth to grave of the witch beasts properly. Everything is ready, just wait for the Dafa of the Witch King to be completed, that is the harvest season.
However, the early completion of the Flying Fish Lady ship slightly changed Lei Changye's original plan. Lei Changye originally planned to build the main defensive position with the southern wall of Huichuan City as the core.
However, now that the Flying Fish ship has been completed, he immediately changed his plans. He wants to use the Flying Fish Lady Ship as another core, forming a dual-core defense with the southern city wall.
To complete this dual-core defense idea, he first needs to solve the shortcomings of the Flying Fish Lady's ship, which needs to be towed by Brother Huang He to fly.
After possessing 120,000 jade talismans, Lei Changye began to have the courage to think of a crazy idea: to let the Flying Fish Lady ship fly on its own.
Let the Yellow Crane tow the Flying Fish Lady's boat, first of all, the skeleton structure of the Flying Fish Lady Boat cannot support a long time of dragging, and secondly, every time the mana is filled with meat, it will be cut again and again, and finally the Yellow Crane is used to tow the Flying Fish Lady's Boat, which will make it lose its mobility and combat effectiveness. In future wars, the top combat power of Yellow Crane can influence the situation of the war.
Mozi's Five Elements does describe the construction of the Feilai Palace, but the language is not clear, and the annotations of the head of the house are not clear. Lei Changye extracted the hovercraft construction method of the Flying Fish Lady Ship from it, which was already the limit of the use of the magic circle extracted from the books.
But at that time, Lu Ban did make a flying hall and a wooden flying bird, and the magic circle used should also be the Void Room Wind Formation and the Hundred Miles Divine Power Array.
However, the detailed structural drawings of his use of the formation are not recorded in the Mozi Five Elements Chronicles. Mozi's Five Elements only describes the most basic application of the magic circle, and there is not much record of the combined application of the magic circle and the method of combining the magic circle with the magic weapon. These are all invented and created by the pioneers of the magic weapon of the magic circle according to their needs.
After refining the Mountains and Rivers Immortal Hidden Diagram and the Mustard Seed Bag, Lei Changye knew the countless magical changes of the magic weapon. He began to feel that the wooden flying bird and the flying hall made by Lu Ban back then were not ordinary products like the Flying Fish Lady's boat, but after the magic circle was constructed, it was refined into a magic weapon.
If he could also use some method to refine the Flying Fish Lady Ship into a magic weapon, perhaps the Void Room Wind Formation and the Hundred Miles Divine Array that he installed according to the account of Mozi's Five Elements Records would undergo further transformation, and he would complete the feat of being able to lift the big ship to the sky.
In this case, the Flying Fish Lady Ship will be a Flying Treasure Ship! Moreover, Lei Changye believes that this will be the largest Flying Treasure Ship ever built.
But how can such a large ship refine it into a first-class magic weapon? What kind of refining furnace can be used to fit it? Lei Changye felt an incomparably headache.
He glanced at the alliance treasure bag in his hand, and suddenly a bold idea came to him: after all, the Flying Fish Lady ship is just a lifeless ship, if he can upgrade the alliance treasure bag to be enough to hold a large ship......
Lei Changye in the Sanpin era made Shu Laibao.
Lei Changye of the Sipin era made an alliance treasure bag.
If it is Lei Changye in the era of the Great Nine Products, what kind of bag can be made? Of course, Lei Changye is not the Great Nine Products, but someone is!
"Old Wu!" Lei Changye's heart suddenly became hot, at this time, it was a good time for Wu Daozi, a tool immortal, to exert his power.
"Xiao Lei, call me so late. Wu Daozi emerged from the hidden picture of mountains and rivers.
"Old Wu, how do you see my alliance treasure bag?" Lei Changye hurriedly handed him the alliance treasure bag.
"It's okay. Can it hold 10 or 20 dollars? That's a lot. Wu Daozi pouted and said. As a Heavenly Master-level immortal, of course he can't look down on this kind of ordinary goods that can't even be regarded as a first-grade magic weapon.
"Old Wu, will I teach you how to make the alliance treasure bag?" asked Lei Changye.
"I don't really want to learn. Wu Daozi said disgustedly.
"Lao Wu, art is not pressing. Lei Changye hurriedly comforted.
"Xiao Lei, do you have any plans?" Wu Daozi knew Lei Changye too well. It's not good, where is he so enthusiastic.
"That's right, I'm going to refine the Flying Fish Ladyship. Lei Changye had no choice but to explain honestly.
"Goodbye!" Wu Daozi instantly drilled into the Immortal Yin Diagram. He is indeed a tool immortal, but he doesn't want to do things beyond the program.
"Old Wu...... Alas!" Lei Changye had no choice but to burrow his divine sense into the Lei Changye clone in the Immortal Hidden Diagram and ran after Wu Daozi.
"Don't come here, I'll step on the auspicious clouds, and I can throw you off 108,000 miles in an instant. Wu Daozi hurriedly trotted up.
"Old Wu, listen to me first, my alliance treasure bag is to draw a quiet room with the technique of turning the pen into reality, and then embed the mountain-moving talisman to form a passage connecting reality and the void......" Lei Changye explained while running with the alliance treasure bag.
"It's a good idea, but the quiet room is too small, and it's not a whimsical idea to load a ship with how many things it can hold. Wu Daozi said while trotting.
"I can only hold two pieces of money when I am in the third grade, but I can hold twenty ......pieces when I am in the fourth grade," Lei Changye chased to Wu Daozi's side.
"Then you will pretend to be nine-pin...... Two million?" Wu Daozi finally stopped.
"Yes, two million pounds is about twenty or thirty million catties of copper. Lei Changye also stopped.
"Hmm...... That's about the weight of the ship. Wu Daozi touched his chin and began to think seriously, "If this painting is painted by me, it can only be pretended to be more, because ...... After all, the Great Nine Pins!"
"Exactly. Lei Changye stroked his palms and said.
"But the ashram is definitely not going to work. Wu Daozi shook his head in disgust, "I want to ......"
"Painting the dock?" asked Lei Changye.
"That's right, I remember that when Yan Gong was a salt and iron transshipment envoy in Yangzi, he built ten major docks and built a ship of a thousand stones, I guess this big lady ship was also built in this kind of large dock, and the grand occasion was unprecedented, and I also went to the scene to watch, but unfortunately Yan Gong was framed, and he was unconscious, and he mistook the fortune of the country. Wu Daozi said this and sighed with emotion.
"If you can reproduce the grand occasion of Yan Gong building a big ship, it will also be a memory of Yan Gong. Lei Changye took advantage of the situation and said.
"Hmm...... However, it's best to draw the Dockyard with something that is more suitable for refining magic weapons. Sketch in a space with depth, so that it has a more dock look. Wu Daozi said contemplatively.
"Old Wu, you mean this?" Lei Changye raised his head and pointed to the top of his head.
Wu Daozi looked up and found that he had unknowingly taken Lei Changye to a woodland full of gourd vines. The woodland here is littered with dried gourds that have turned golden brown.
"That's it!" Wu Daozi suddenly nodded vigorously.
"Can this kind of gourd in the painting be used as a treasure?" asked Lei Changye, scratching his head.
"This kind of immortal thing in the painting, itself has no grade, it exists in the outside world for more than ten days, and then it can be taken out again when it is put into the picture to charge mana, although it is a little troublesome, but it is not impossible. Wu Daozi suddenly became enthusiastic, "And this kind of immortal seed gourd is born in the soil of Xianshan Mountain, and it is twice the result with half the effort to refine, and it is extremely easy to use." ”
"In that case, let's pick one. Lei Changye lowered his head and wanted to choose a pleasing gourd among the gourds on the ground.
"Don't pick these up, it's nothing remarkable, follow me, follow me!" Wu Daozi pulled Lei Changye to the depths of this gourd forest.
Walking through the gloomy woodland, he came to a glade. The clearing in this dense forest is like a patio, with only a ray of sunlight penetrating through the treetops and pouring into the woodland. On the ground where the sun gathered, there was a large red curved waist gourd, like a rolling flame.
"This gourd is the earliest fruit, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon for a hundred years in this woodland, I have long wanted to make something with it, and today since you have put forward this idea, use it to see what good things can be produced. Wu Daozi said with a fluttering eyebrow.
"Wonderful!" Lei Changye was overjoyed.
