Chapter 529: Development Bottleneck
Unexpectedly, this beautiful doctor who looked gentle with glasses was so fierce. Even Li Ran couldn't help but feel a little surprised. You should know that the title of melee combatant recognized by the system is not something that ordinary people can obtain. In nearly 100% real scenes, it takes great courage to play close to monsters. Many people who have been fighting in the Third World for many years cannot obtain this title because they cannot face the monster in front of them calmly. Unexpectedly, this person was actually obtained in just two months. It seems that she is really suitable for the Third World.
After hearing Tao Xuemei talk about this, Wei Zixun quickly spoke a few polite words, chatted for a while, indirectly mentioned the city where he was in the third world and said that he would come to them to learn when he was free.
In response to this, Li Ran quickly said that there was no problem, and asked her about her ID and name in the third world, and said bluntly that she would join a friend after it was launched.
After eating like this, everyone chatted for a while before they separated. Considering that Huanbing Nannan had to go back to take care of her mother, Wu Tongtong took the initiative to stay and help her deal with it.
Nodding, Li Ran and Xia Houben drove back to the company first, and at the same time found Zhao Lanlan and returned the key to her after thanking her.
More than ten minutes later, Li Ran waited for Zhou Xun and others who received the news in the lounge. After learning that there was no special situation in the territory recently, Li Ran asked about the formation of the caravan.
As the person in charge of this task, Zhou Xun nodded and said, "The next day after you left, that is, the fourth day in the Third World, the first caravan formed by the territory has set off. The route is to transport the fish specialties from the endless snowy hot spring lake directly to Edoron City. As for the scale, it is a caravan formed by about 300 woolly rhinoceros beasts, and there are more than 300 coachmen who have been trained from residents in the early stage and hundreds of residents responsible for logistics."
After asking about 300 woolly rhinoceros beasts that could drag about 120 trucks of supplies, Li Ran nodded and asked about the types and numbers of soldiers responsible for protecting the caravan.
Zhou Xun said to this: "Considering that this is the first time to go to business, Cao Dayong and I are responsible for protecting this time. The troops I brought were 200 silver-backed demon wolves and one of my squadrons of light cavalry. Fortunately, along the way, except for the danger on the way back on the endless snowy land, they lost two silver-backed demon wolves, and it was fine at other times. In fact, Cao Dayong and I returned to the territory not long ago. It took about eight days in total. As for the profit, it was also very good. We obtained more than 8,000 gold coins. After deducting the food and drink of the people, we can also earn several thousand gold coins."
Although he lost two silver-backed demon wolves, he still made a profit. Moreover, this is the first time he has been running a business with an experimental nature, so Li Ran is satisfied with the result this time.
The next morning, Li Ran, who had a good sleep, entered the Third World and immediately found the old village chief Molga and Dorik who were still busy.
Maybe it was because it was night in the third world, and I didn’t expect the lord to come here at this time. After seeing Li Ran’s arrival, the two of them quickly stood up and saluted. Li Ran smiled and said, “What do you seem to be discussing just now?”
The old village chief Molga smiled bitterly and said, "It's not about the caravan route. Since the caravans in the territory have been formed, the next step is to deal with a large number of minerals accumulated in the underground world over the past period. But the route has not been selected well."
Seeing that the table in front of the two was the map of the empire brought back by Dorik, Li Ran stepped forward and asked. It turned out that the focus of the two was on going to Nairoren. Although they had been to sell elf equipment last time, the old village chief Molga this time was to save a piece of official road. Let the caravan go directly from the small road after passing Edoron City, which would save two or three days. Dorik disagreed with this.
"Didn't Olka come back from the territory of the endless snowy land? Have you asked him?" Li Ran pondered for a moment and asked.
At this time, Doric explained: "This route was proposed by Olka. According to what he said, it should be considered safe, but I am still not relieved. After all, he has never been there in person, so I still hope to walk from the official road without having to fight for that day or two."
After hearing Dorik's words, the old village chief Molga waved his hand repeatedly and said, "This is not a fight for a day or two. Neiroren is a real big city. And judging from the information collected these two times, the prices there are generally 10% or 20% higher than those in Edoron City. It will definitely be one of the main destinations of our caravan in the future. If a road can be opened up again, a caravan will save hundreds of gold coins for one or two days, and if it is too much, it will be a considerable expense."
One is based on interests and the other is based on safety. Li Ran looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "How about this, we should follow the previous route and follow the previous route to go from the official road, which is safer. However, when we went there this time, we asked them to take a few scouts. After passing Edoron City, let them carefully investigate the route provided by Orka. If it is feasible, let the caravan change this route next time. Do you two think this is OK?"
Seeing that the lord had made a decision, the two of them didn't have much time to say anything, and then they gave Li Ran a detailed report on what they had managed during this period.
But as the two of them said, Li Ran couldn't help but frown again. Although judging from the information reported by the two, the comprehensive level of the territory has steadily increased, there seems to be no sign of breakthrough in terms of the increased military strength and construction. Li Ran knew in his heart that this was the bottleneck stage of the development of the territory.
As the two of them finished reporting the information, the three of them chatted for a while. Perhaps Li Ran's frown made them see something. Morga and Dorik looked at each other and directly asked Li Ran's concerns.
Li Ran did not hide it from Morga and Doric, who had already given their loyalty, and directly expressed his concerns.
"It is true that as the lord said, the territory has reached its current scale. If you want to make another breakthrough, you can only build a real city. If you are sure, I can issue a task through the military and political officer you have contacted last time. As long as you have your official title, we can build a real city." Knowing Li Ran's intention, looking at the lord in front of you, Dorik thought for a while and said solemnly.
