Chapter 42 Contractor

"You have a big appetite! Isn't this equivalent to taking over the troops and cities of the Temple of Light?" I really didn't realize that Ah Ni was still an ambitious person!

"I have to pay such a great price to defend the city for you. You said I was unscrupulous! The dragon clan helped you to save your life, you were to defend the city, but I had nothing. I wouldn't be too much of a loss if I didn't occupy a few cities?"

"I'll just say it, don't take it seriously!" Ah Ni's face was not very good. I dare not offend her anymore!

The Dragon King saw that the atmosphere was a little nervous and hurried out to smooth things over. "That's it. Our dragon clan and the Dark Legion jointly defended the city. After the war begins, we will rush to the city to which the Temple of Light belongs."

"I think since I'm going to run anyway, why don't you enjoy running?" I thought of a darker way.

"Tell me!" The Dragon King is very enthusiastic now. Any plan may determine the life and death of the dragon clan.

"I have seen the attack of the Temple of Light, and I am also present in the Battle of Lost. Do you think we can think of some solutions on the way the other party comes?"

"What do you mean?"

"The troops in the Temple of Light siege are quite special. When they attacked last time, they used a large number of air cavalry to carry teleportation mages and pierced at high speed, and then arranged teleportation arrays near the city and then rushed out. This tactic can greatly shorten the time the troops stay within the coverage of our artillery fire, and in contrast, it can reduce casualties a lot. However, if we can severely damage the air cavalry carrying mages when they break through, and greatly reduce the number of mages, then the time for the troops to appear will become long, and we have more time to engage in artillery battles! If the attack effect is good enough, they can even force them to give up teleportation and run directly over."

Ah Ni shook her head and said, "No, no, no! Don't do this!"

“Is my method not good?”

"It's not bad, it's not good! Force them to attack by walking can indeed increase casualties, but the effect is not very good!"

"What about you?"

"First conduct a low-intensity attack, the Temple of Light will still use teleportation, but when one-third of their troops appear, destroy the teleportation mage system. If it cannot be completely destroyed, at least most of the teleportation arrays will be invalid. The troops of the Temple of Light are stuck one-third here, which is our best attack time. When the remaining troops rushed over, these one-third would have lost their combat power, right?"

"Yeah! A good idea!" The Dragon King would nod and agreed a good idea now!

"By the way, Your Highness of the Dragon King!" I suddenly remembered that the Dragon King's guards went back to move things, and I don't know what it was!

"What's up?"

"I heard from Lucky that you sent someone back to Long Island to move things. I don't know what it is?"

"Oh! That's the Dragon Clan's special weapon, Thunder Cannon!"

Ah Ni obviously knew this thing, and immediately said in surprise when he heard the name: "Isn't that the treasure of the Dragon Clan island-keeping? Why did it be moved out?"

The Dragon King shook his head and said, "It's not that one. This time this is a small trumpet, we made it ourselves. This time it is a time for the dragon clan to survive and die. If there is any good thing not to be taken out, should we keep it for burial?"

Although I don’t know what the lightning cannon is, it sounds very powerful! "Your Highness the Dragon King really invested a lot, and even took out the things in the bottom of the box! Is Goddess Ni meant it too?" At this time, it’s a little bit of blackmail!

Ah Ni may think that the things that the dragon clan brought out are very good, but the Dark Temple, known for making magical equipment, does not have decent equipment, so she was embarrassed. She gritted her teeth secretly. "I have good things, but you have to pay for them. I can't do a loss-making business!"

The Dragon King didn't care about anything for the survival of the Dragon Clan anyway. Before I could speak, he said first: "I'll do it, how much?"

Ah Ni didn't expect the Dragon King to agree so quickly! "I only have 5 movies per movie for 1 billion, and at most 4 movies will be sold for you. I always have to leave a sample!"

"It's only 4 billion! I'm scared!" The Dragon King is rich and he is not at ease with this little money. "You ask someone to move here! I'll give you money when you go back! You won't believe in the credibility of the Dragon Clan, right?"

"Of course I believe it! The Dragon Clan's financial resources are still very famous!"

"Okay, that's all the power you can gather. You have made clear your respective tasks? Let's start taking action now?"

"Okay! I'll go back and assemble the troops now!" Ah Ni's work is quite straightforward!

"I'll go and write a letter to His Highness the God of Light!" The Dragon King also turned around and ran out.

After leaving the Spirit Gathering Tower, both sides left to do their own business. Now it's time for me to be busy! Aisinger urgently needs a large number of cleaners, and he also needs manpower in urban construction. According to the Dragon King's introduction, I should go to the dwarfs and elemental people to help me organize the city. Although Aisinger has risen, to put it bluntly, he is just a huge ruin! After the Elemental People have cleared the building, they should find dwarfs to rebuild the city! Wait for the dwarf gems! "Ah! Your Highness of the Dragon King! Don't go! The gem you promised hasn't been given to me yet!"

I chased out of the Spirit Gathering Tower Hall with my hands and feet, but the speed of the dragon clan was so fast that the Dragon King had flew so much that he didn't even have a shadow! My gem! What should I do now! Do you want me to pay for the gems and bribe the dwarves?

"Master, what should I do with these things?" Ling walked over from the side and called me.

I turned around and saw the lucky, plague, crystals stood in a row, Ling stood in front of them waiting for my order. "Things? What?"

The plague and luck made a step to both sides reveal the hill behind them. A mountain of red gems was piled behind them. A pile of rubies nearly three meters high shone with dazzling light, making my eyes blurred! "Haha! The Dragon King Old Master really did what he said, and he was ready!"

I ran to the bottom of the Gem Mountain and saw that the pile of gems were about to suffocate. I didn't know what attributes these gems were. If I left some of them to inlay for the guild's brothers and sisters, I didn't know what would happen! I picked them up from it and almost fainted. "Name: Dwarf's yearning; Level: Task items (not tradeable); Function: Increase the dwarf's favorability to the user!" Completely fainted! I thought I could get it in and upgraded equipment!

Since you have obtained the gem, you have to hurry to find the Dwarf tribe. This is not difficult to get there. The dwarf’s residence is relatively open. Players must need dwarf craftsmen to build their own city. Some players who like auxiliary professions are dwarfs themselves, so everyone knows the dwarf’s residence. The only troublesome thing is that the Craftsman City where the dwarf lives does not have a teleportation array. You must first go to the closer city and then hike over it!

I remember that there is a player city called Ghost Mansion, which is closer to Craftsman City! That player is attracted by Craftsman City that does not have a teleportation array, and a large number of players need to go to Craftsman City to find Craftsman City. Build the city there to receive a big-picture entry fee! (The system city does not have a city entry fee)

I opened the teleportation ring directly and targeted the ghost creature. When I walked out of the teleportation array of the ghost creature, I was a little stunned. The density of players around me was even better than that of the main cities of the three major systems. Looking around, the streets were filled with people! As soon as I walked out of the teleportation array, I was surrounded by people. I habitually took a step back and put my hand on the hilt of the sword at any time.

A guy who was almost wearing two prodigal businessmen's sons on his face leaned forward with a lewd smile on his face. "Brother, don't be nervous, we have no malice!"

"Then why are you surround me?" Although the movements have not changed, I am basically sure that they are not going to attack me, because almost none of these people are warriors. Logically speaking, the possibility of a mage robbing is not high, not to mention that there are still several people holding books in their hands. I have never heard of robbing them with books!

The profiteer spoke as a representative: "We are the city construction guide here. You look at the big customers who want to build the city. We want to see if you need our services!"

"Service?" I took my hand off the hilt of the sword. "What service do you provide?"

"This depends on what service you need!" The profiteer is indeed a profiteer, and he speaks well!

"I need a lot of things, but I just don't know what you can do!"

Maybe it was obvious that I was indeed a potential customer, and this guy said politely to me: "If you really want to build a city, come with me! I'll take you to the reception room for details!"

"Okay! You lead the way!"

The profiteer told the little profiteer next to him a few words and then took me to the city. The reception room he mentioned was a shop. Although the door was written on the city alliance office, it was arranged like a teahouse! In addition to us, there were several tables sitting on it, and pairs of players were discussing something. At this time, I noticed that these people were wearing work clothes of the office. Although their clothes were somewhat different, they were roughly the same. It was estimated that the different looks were only of different levels! I don’t know what level the receptionist I talked to with, but seeing how he was just instructing those people to do things outside the teleportation point, his level should be quite good!

"Please sit down!" The profiteer asked me to sit down, and a young man next to me immediately brought two cups of tea. After taking a sip of tea, the profiteer took out a giant book like a large encyclopedia from behind. Just now, everyone seemed to have one. Is this thing their tool? He put the book on the table and turned around and pushed it in front of me. "This is a directory. If you see if you need any service items, you can refer to this directory. There are detailed instructions and expenses on it!"

I was surprised to open this catalog without a cover. The first page in it contained several simple categories. The categories include: new city construction, personal house construction, guild resident upgrade, city resident upgrade, house renovation, and other craftsmen's needs, a total of six options. After reading this preliminary catalog, I already know what they do! This person is a contractor, specializing in contracting the business of craftsmen!

"I want to build a city!"

"Really? Are you sure?" The profiteer looked a little disbelief when he heard my words.

"What do you do? Do you suspect I can't build it?"

"Uh! No, no! I'm so excited! Building a city is a big project, I'm so excited for a moment! Since you are building a city, please come with me to the VIP room on the second floor!"

I picked up the catalog and walked up to the second floor. It was much more gorgeous than the first floor. VIPs were indeed more expensive! We sat down in a single room on the second floor, and the waiter quickly delivered drinks, but the color was not the first floor, so I guess this one was more expensive!

"I will introduce myself first. I am Yang Kun, general manager of the customer service department of this company. What do you call me?"

"Purple Sun!"

"Okay, Mr. Zi Ri. Do you need to outsource or entrust recruitment?"

"Outsourcing? Is there any difference between outsourcing and recruiting workers?" Terms will appear in various industries after working for a long time. First, the industry personnel can understand it clearly, it is convenient to speak, and second, it can be convenient to attract customers!

"Outsourcing is more worry-free. You tell me the city's capital level, location, scale, style and delivery time. Then you don't have to worry about it. Just wait until the time comes to accept it! If you entrust recruitment, it will be a little more troublesome! You have to personally arrange all the details, and I am only responsible for the employment and distribution of craftsmen."

"It's better to recruit workers! My city is more responsible, so it may not be convenient for you to build it!"

"Yes! It's better to entrust recruitment, so that you can build a city more in line with your preferences! So what's the name of the city you want to build? How big is the scale?" Yang Kun took out a formatted form, with some basic things written on it, and he took out a pen to fill in it.

"The name is Aisinger."

"Ai...sing...ge! Yes! A good name!" He listened and wrote. "Where is the size of the city?"

"Are you talking about area?"

"kindness!"

"Are you talking about building area or practical area? Aisinger has a dungeon!" It's not easy to forget about the urban layered area!

"I need the building area, but if you need the dungeon, you need the detailed area of ​​each floor!"

"Wait a minute, I'll do it!" Yang Kun nodded, then held a pen and waited for me to report the numbers. I calculated for a while and said, "The city was divided into six layers, and the underground part was an inverted model of the above-ground part. The ground floor was 100 square kilometers, the second floor was 841 square kilometers, the first floor was 7,569 square kilometers, and the sixth floor was 17,020 square kilometers!" With a bang, Yang Kun overturned the bench. I quickly stood up: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay! It's okay!" Yang Kun crawled out from under the table. "Are you playing with me? How can you defend such a big city? The largest guild is only one million people now, and you can't find it if you put it in your city!"

"Defense is my business, you just need to build it for me!"

"Okay! Is the customer the God?" Yang Kun is a profiteer, so he can make changes! After quickly filling in the area, Yang Kun continued: "How to arrange the city wall? How high should it be built? What materials should be used? Do you need to dig a moat?"

"The city wall has been completed, only a few gates are missing. I don't need the moat. The city is too big, and the moat construction project is too huge!" Actually, I was afraid that he would speak loudly! Think about it! The wall of Aisinger is so long, and digging a moat is no different from digging a Grand Canal. The project cost must be soaring!

"That's right. If you really want me to help you dig a canal-like moat, I really can't do it! You know, we middlemen can't get much, and the NPC dwarves set up in the system are very expensive! By the way, when it comes to dwarves, I want to ask if you want to hire dwarves, humans or elf craftsmen?"

“Is there any difference?”

"Of course! There are many human craftsmen, average efficiency and average technology, but the wages are cheap. If you don't have any special requirements for the city, hiring human craftsmen is a common and cost-effective method. The elves have better artistic qualities, and the cities they build will be very elegant and beautiful, with a romantic style. Of course, the price is more expensive than humans! If you need to build a financial center or cultural center, it is best to choose elves craftsmen, who can turn your city into a palace of art. As for dwarves, it's more troublesome! The dwarves have an ancient personality.

Strange, they don’t take all the jobs, and their price is quite exaggerated. The most important thing is that dwarves have no aesthetic qualities. Although their works are usually sturdy and durable and have clever designs, they are all square in appearance. Of course, if you have a special hobby and like to build your city like a fortress, the aesthetics of dwarves will definitely be your appetite. However, my clients usually ask some humans to be responsible for infrastructure construction, and then ask elves to deal with structural and style issues. This can coordinate the cost of the city well and aesthetics!"

It seems that Yang Kun still has plans to continue, so I stopped him. "I hope to hire a large number of dwarves and a small number of elves. The elves craftsmen should not exceed 3,000,000 people. The rest should be dwarves. What I built is a seaside fortress. It doesn't matter whether it is beautiful or not. Sturdy is the first priority!"

"But……!"

"It's nothing, but I pay you to find someone, it's that simple!"

After thinking for a moment, Yang Kun looked up and said, "Okay! I'll contact the dwarf craftsmen, but I declare in advance that I'll be irresponsible if they don't come!"

"I'll go with you, I promise they will come!"

"Okay then! The craftsman has solved it, what should I do if there are any materials?"

"Material?"

"Yes, it is building materials, mainly stone and wood. Other things like ceramics, jade, various metals, crystals, etc. also use a lot of things! Do you have prepared in advance? Most of my customers have stocked up a lot of materials in advance, and usually just buy a small amount!"

"I don't know that the city construction plan is relatively hasty and there are not so many things to prepare. Can you buy cheap materials?"

"This is probably a bit troublesome! The materials in the system store are so expensive. If you buy there, the material fee alone can ruin a medium-sized enterprise! However, players usually don't have too many materials in their hands. Large-scale acquisitions may take time, and the scale of your city seems to be a bit exaggerated. Even if the walls with the most expensive materials have been built, the remaining materials still require more than 100 times that of other cities. Such a large number of acquisitions will definitely be troublesome and not cost-effective! What you need in the end is that building materials cannot be put into storage space. Except for those with craftsman skills, other players cannot transport these things. We purchase so many things at once, and even if they are collected, the transportation fee will be lifeless! So I suggest you entrust us to hire some carpenters and stonemasons to help you mine the raw materials nearby. The greater the demand, the lower the cost of asking for a dedicated person to mine, and the nearby mining can save a transportation fee of more than astronomical numbers!"
