King from scratch

"This..." Duoti glanced at the demon and dwarf who were as quiet as chickens, and said after considering the words, "Isn't it inappropriate?"

He Xingwen: "Not suitable?"

Doti glanced at the sub-bear squatting not far away. It was staring at the distance in a relaxed manner, not in a state of hunting.

But even just sitting, the pressure of being at the top of the food chain is enough to make intelligent creatures tense up.

The Asian bears behind it are playing on their own.

If the young Asian bears were shrunk hundreds of times, this scene might become very warm, but under the premise that even the smallest Asian bear weighs several thousand kilograms, this scene can only make the onlookers tremble with fear, subconsciously want to follow They keep their distance.

Duoti finished observing Yaxiong, and was about to look away when he caught a flash of silver light from the corner of his eye.

The squatting Asian bear whipped the bird flying across the sky with its tail.

Because of its strength and speed, the bird didn't even fall into a whole body, it was directly smashed into pieces, and the flesh and blood mixed with scattered feathers scattered all over the ground.

Because of boredom, Yaxiong moved his position calmly, avoiding these things.

The words that came out of his mouth got stuck, and his tone was serious: "It is a beast, not an intelligent creature, and this is the biggest problem."

"This is not the biggest problem." He Xingwen smiled and said to Duoti: "The biggest problem is that you don't believe me."

This sentence made the atmosphere tense suddenly.

"Unless you identify it with yourself, I can't think of any reason why we shouldn't trust you."

"I am not the same as it, but obviously, you don't equate the kingdom with me." He Xingwen said with a relaxed tone: "From the ground you step on to every flower that blooms on the ground, it belongs to my will .”

The scene fell silent.

The mage said dryly, "Including going against their nature and not attacking other creatures?"

He Xingwen glanced at Yaxiong who was squatting on the ground, who was a hundred and eight thousand miles away from being well-behaved, and he was very sure of this.

"From the fact that you can still discuss it with me, it's clearly beyond doubt."

Duoti gave up the idea of ​​continuing to stop, anyway, he is not the unlucky guy who directly docks with Yaxiong.

To be precise, this matter has nothing to do with the Arcane Academy, so it is better to leave the task of preventing the king from implementing this matter to those who should really oppose it.

……

"A great idea." Anuta said resoundingly.

"What the king means is to let Yaxiong be a part of the transportation process to complete the transportation of bulk commodities from the Land of God's Fall to the Kingdom..." Duoti reminded the other party: "This means that wandering merchants need to directly connect with it, The goods are handed over to Yaxiong."

Anuta's comprehension ability is not bad, he looked at the mage who repeated the king's words with some doubts: "So, I said this idea is very good... Is there anything wrong?"

Nubida cooed from the side: "Master, that's Ai Zhijin, you are worrying too much for them, maybe they are still excited about being able to contact Ya Xiong alone."

Kenti pondered: "In this case, how much is a living Asian bear worth?"

Nubida chorused: "If you can catch a live Asian bear, I don't think money means much to you."

"Because you can have as much as you want."

Anuta ignored the devil's incitement, and explained to the mage: "If it's just a matter of safety, we trust the king's control over the kingdom very much."

"Since the king made this suggestion, it is obviously because he is sure that the Asian bear is very safe for us." Anuta: "Under this premise, this is the best choice."

"Yaxiong's physical fitness is similar to that of the Dragon Clan. Its huge size is enough to allow it to transport a large amount of goods at a time. As a king's subject, it is immune to the curse of God's Fallen Land. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is all in one fell swoop. have to."

Nubida sighed sincerely: "As expected of a wandering merchant."

It is worthy of being able to have the first contact with several new civilizations, establish trade relations, and easily do what they can't do-meaning that after witnessing the Asian bear, they can support the king's proposal without a doubt.

He turned around and waved his hands: "It's not a good show, let's go."

Some of the demons retreated in twos and threes, while the other demons didn't listen to Nubida's advice and stayed where they were, trying to eat melons until the end.

Doti led the mages and left the scene.

The dwarves hadn't followed in the first place, and in their eyes it was less important than the unfinished work they had done.

After Anuta and He Xingwen confirmed the specific transportation arrangements and the part that Yaxiong was responsible for, they completed the final confirmation of this batch of large transactions.

"I will notify Ai Zhijin to transport the goods you need outside the land of God's Fall,"

Anuta confirmed with He Xingwen the specific location to receive the goods, and then continued: "Then Yaxiong will complete the final transportation process."

For Ai Zhijin, transporting bulk commodities to the land of God's Fall is just a simple operation of positioning and then folding and jumping in space—to put it simply, it is to open a black hole.

It's just that the duration and scale of this black hole are relatively large.

Of course, it is not easy to maintain a huge space transmission for such a long time, at least for most human kingdoms, this is a very huge expense.

However, the difference between Aizhijin and the human kingdom is that it is very rich.

The particularity of the kingdom is that it is impossible to locate the kingdom beyond the Land of God's Fall, so the space gate cannot be directly located in the kingdom.

If the distance from the Land of God's Fall to the kingdom is completed by wandering merchants, it will mean high manual transportation costs.

But now, the problem has been solved, and the only thing left is... the payment that the kingdom should pay.

Anuta glanced at the Asian bears who were fighting behind him, and a slight shock spread to his feet, just like his uneasy mood at the moment.

The Wandering Trader is unaware of the revival of extinct creatures in the kingdom.

When Anuta visited the kingdom, he only visited a limited part because of the king's orders and the npc who never left. And he never imagined that there were unimaginable secrets in the places he didn't visit.

A living adult Asian bear?Then he can understand why he was banned from visiting.

"Respected king," Anuta retracted his eyes, and said carefully, "Obviously, we don't know enough about your kingdom."

"You have enough time to slowly understand." He Xingwen said: "But maybe you should be clear about one thing, all extinct creatures are prohibited from being caught and sold."

He Xingwen gently gave the other party a serious warning: "They can only live in the territory of the kingdom. Any attempt to capture and sell extinct creatures known to me will be regarded as a provocation against me."

To be precise, this is not a warning to Anuta personally, but a warning to the group of wandering traders.

As "Das Kapital" said, when faced with 100% interests, capitalists will ignore the constraints of the law, and when faced with [-]% interests, capitalists will even take risks and trample to death.

And a corpse of an extinct creature, or even a living extinct creature, is definitely worth [-]% of the profit.

"The Kingdom will be against you." He Xingwen used this sentence as the ending of the threat.

Anuta accepted this threat very clearly, dispelled the idea of ​​continuing to talk about extinct creatures, and expressed his support for it without changing his face: "A choice worthy of admiration."

"We respect the differences of civilizations and abide by the rules of different civilizations. Apart from being a businessman, we prefer to be friends with every civilization."

"So, maybe we should talk about the payment next?"

Anuta handed the parchment to He Xingwen and said, "How do you plan to pay for this new order?"

He Xingwen unfolded the parchment, and a long bill hung all the way to the ground. All the expenses were clearly marked on the bill, including the cost of building materials, transportation costs, and personal remuneration for wandering merchants.

Judging from this bill, the wandering merchant is more like an intermediary. He charges fees separately, and these commodities are packaged and sold at cost prices. He does not profit from the prices of the commodities, and he collects separate remuneration.

Noticing that He Xingwen's gaze was on the bill, Anuta explained: "The quantity and type of these materials are after I confirmed with Adisseo Jin and agreed with you. You still need to delete and modify ?"

He Xingwen scanned the bill at a glance, his eyes paused for two seconds on the final total amount, and he fully understood why every war was initiated because of profit.

Because there is no money.

"Pay in batches, and pay once when you receive a batch of goods."

Anuta agreed to this payment method, and then went to confirm the next steps with Ai Zhijin.

……

When He Xingwen returned to the warehouse in the main city, staring at the piles of gold piled up like hills, he seemed to see the next empty scene.

"Is the quantity of this batch of gold sufficient to pay for the purchase?"

From a certain point of view, the system formulated the purchase list for that batch of building materials, so...

"Just enough."

This must be open sourced. He Xingwen fell into thinking about how to make money quickly by Jinshan.

Earn player money?This is a good idea, but unless he opens up the internal beta quota, even if a hundred players lose their fortunes, it is impossible to fill this bottomless pit.

Continue to barter with Hua Guo?This is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst.

Without a stable output of equivalents, relying on external forces to fill the trade gap between the kingdom and the wandering merchants will only cause economic turmoil in the two worlds.

Therefore, the only solution was in front of He Xingwen.

"How long do you think can be completed in the shortest time from the research and development of the Black Bloodstone to its use?"

The system conducted rigorous calculations and concluded: "If this process is too short, it will cause huge turmoil in the world, including but not limited to economic, political, military, and war turmoil."

"The new energy controlled by a certain kingdom has an impact on the old energy. If there is not enough buffer time, the impact on the old economic system will directly cause other forces to choose to counterattack..."

He Xingwen interrupted him: "That is to say, in a short period of time, new energy cannot be sold as a commodity."

"In fact, even after the new energy is put into production, I don't recommend you to sell it as a commodity." The system said: "Because it is not popular, except for the land of God's Fall, there is currently no other place where black energy is produced. Bloodstone."

"It's a rare energy source."

That being the case, where does the kingdom get the money to trade with the outside world?

He Xingwen wondered if he had missed something, and the system had already given him the optimal solution.

"I don't know if you are aware of a rumor."

He Xingwen raised his head in doubt: "What?"

"It is said that the treasure of the dwarf kingdom is hidden on the top of the mountains."

He Xingwen quickly extracted the key words: "Are you suggesting that I dig out the treasures of the dwarf kingdom?"

The system is very clear on how to persuade He Xingwen: "I am suggesting that you find their lost treasure for the dwarves."

He Xingwen thought for a few seconds, and was not easily fooled by him: "Then?"

"Actually, I don't think this rumored treasure is a huge amount of wealth in the cognitive sense of intelligent creatures."

The system said unhurriedly: "According to the racial characteristics of the dwarves, the situation that the dwarf kingdom faced at the beginning, and the geographical location of the dwarf kingdom, I am more inclined to this so-called treasure, which is the last protection left by the dwarf kingdom to its people."

He Xingwen paused for a few minutes, sorting out the meaning of his words, and followed the other party's train of thought: "The last blessing...weapon? Food? Or some kind of casting process?"

"That depends on what kind of mentality the last dwarf king had at the time."

He Xingwen: "What does this have to do with the kingdom's lack of money?"

The system said slowly: "The treasure of the dwarf kingdom itself has nothing to do with this. Even if the so-called treasure of the dwarf kingdom is an unimaginable wealth, I believe you will not take it for yourself."

Actually not necessarily...

After all, wealth beyond imagination within reach and extinction are two different things. The former is a dead thing, while the latter is a living life.

Living things always have more weight than dead things.

If it is a wealth that is placed in front of your eyes, it is too much to test the moral bottom line of human beings.

He Xingwen couldn't make a definite conclusion about this, but the system was very sure of this point-about the fact that his contractor had extremely noble moral sentiments.

"But if you accidentally discovered a mine when you were looking for treasures for the dwarves..." the system said: "The peaks of the mountains do not belong to any faction at present, that is to say, the discovered natural resources belong to the discoverer."

Because the system's capabilities are almost omnipotent, He Xingwen subconsciously believes that the other party is really omnipotent. For example, create a world map in the database, which marks the location of all natural resources in the world.

"Do you know the location of the mine on the top of the mountains?"

The system paused for two seconds, and had to explain that he was not really omnipotent: "I don't know more about this world than you, and the current information is not enough for me to build a map of the world's resource distribution."

The system projected the world map drawn by the demon before He Xingwen's eyes, zooming in on the top of the mountains.

"If you look carefully at the proportion of the mountain range on the top of the mountains, you will find that this is a very vast and continuous mountain range, which means that it has extremely rich natural resources.

According to the dwarf's previous description of the top of the mountains - he arrived at the Land of God's Fall through the cave in the belly of the mountain range. "

System: "Why do you think the Dwarf Kingdom needs to dig a tunnel inside the mountainside?"

He Xingwen stared at the map in front of him, only one thought, the system is so terrifying!

"Before the dwarf kingdom was divided, the top of the mountains was the territory of the dwarf kingdom..." the system said: "A kingdom that is good at casting and even built a mechanical army needs a lot of ore."

"Therefore, the tops of the mountains are rich in mineral resources." He Xingwen followed his train of thought and said calmly, "But obviously the ores you are talking about are not ordinary ores, but..."

"It is directly linked to the huge wealth, in the real sense, the treasure of the dwarf kingdom."

That is, a gold mine that can be directly used as an equivalent currency.

"But if there's a gold mine on top of the mountains, I don't think it hasn't been discovered by others by now."

System: "Yes, theoretically speaking, even if there are mines on the top of the mountains, it is impossible for them to be in a state that has not yet been excavated."

"but?"

"However, the legend that the treasure of the dwarf kingdom is on the top of the mountains has been spread on the mainland since the split of the dwarf kingdom until now, but it has not been discovered so far."

"This is enough to prove that those gold diggers have never touched the real core of the top of the mountain."

The system said objectively: "The treasures of the dwarf kingdom and the natural treasure house deposited on the top of the mountains for tens of millions of years are still waiting for its true owner."

After a brief silence, He Xingwen understood the correct way to ask questions without a teacher: "About helping the dwarves find the lost treasure, what else should you tell me, but didn't tell me?"

The system thought briefly for a few seconds: "For example, about the candidates for the expedition team? The increase in the number of players in the beta test? The initial contact with the Dragon Clan? And the possible small-scale conflicts with other dwarves? Should I tell you about these? "

He Xingwen didn't expect that he would come up with such explosive news just by asking casually.

His focus inevitably stopped on a certain vocabulary: "Dragon?"

"The tops of the mountains are dangerous. Relying solely on the dwarves, your people, and players is obviously not enough to complete the task of finding the lost treasure."

"But if some other races are added, the success rate of this expedition will increase further."

He Xingwen took a deep breath, and glanced at the task he was currently doing from the thinking palace.

By the way, the way to build the thinking palace was taught to him by the system.

[Building a teaching building that can be used for teaching, the progress is 50% - the preliminary preparations are ready, and the dwarves can build a teaching building that can be used for teaching only when the building materials are in place. 】

[Build a complete school, the progress is 1% - you don't think that a teaching building can be equivalent to a school, do you?Compared with everything that the school needs, you don't even have the pre-preparation required to build it.

The following is Scarlet’s preliminary preparations: {Lack of supplies}{Lack of money}{Lack of teachers}{Lack of students}]

[Improve the basic settings of the game, the progress is 10% - gratifying, your players can at least find the character panel in the game. 】

[Holographic game promotion, ongoing]

[Development of new energy sources, 0% progress——Except for the most primitive way of use, you know nothing about how to effectively use the new energy sources in the Black Bloodstone. 】

And at the bottom is the new task that just appeared.

[The Lost Treasure Quest Chain:

Task [-]: Obtain the consent of the dwarves and find the lost treasure for the dwarves.

Task [-]: Form an expedition team. {Task branch: Increase the number of internal test players}{Task branch two: Deceive and persuade a dragon. }{Task branch three: Invite other races. }

Task Three: Send an expedition to the top of the mountains.

Mission [-]: After the conflict with the dwarves who are still standing on the top of the mountains, win the conflict.

Mission Five: Find the real treasure on top of the mountains. 】

He Xingwen stared at this row of tasks for a few seconds, feeling that he had been spoiled.

This is the world seen by the system, from the beginning to the process to the end, it is clearly arranged.
