The End of Online Games in the Three Kingdoms

As soon as he left the gate of the camp, Shang Ji stopped, hesitated for a moment, turned his head and said to Su Huan: Come over here, I have something important to explain!

Su Huan leaned forward, and Shang Ji ordered in a low voice.

Understood?

Subordinates understand!

Go, be polite, don't get me wrong!

This subordinate takes orders! Su Huan cupped his hands and took orders and left.

Shang Ji went on to find the ordnance officer.

The ordnance officer of the Wangquan County Barracks is an old man with a gray beard.

The old man has white beard and hair, but he is full of energy. He walks vigorously in the armory camp, and he speaks with great vigor!

After reporting his name, Shang Ji successfully got the opportunity to talk alone.

Are you the Shang Ji who has become famous recently? The old man walked around a large number of merchants and asked, his voice was like a bell, and he didn't look like someone over sixty at all.

The younger generation is Shang Ji, and his mere name is not worth mentioning, which made the old man laugh. Shang Ji bowed and said modestly.

The old man in front of him is not an ordinary person. His surname is Lu, and his single name is an expensive character. He is the only master-level blacksmith in Wangquan County, and the only master-level life skills talent.

Even if there are only a handful of high-end talents in the entire Liaodong County, if it weren't for Master Lu's ancestral home from Wangquan, and the fact that the master is old and has the idea of ​​returning to his roots, Wangquan County would not be able to accommodate this great god. Not to mention Shang Ji, even Tian Teng and Liu Yi treated Master Lu very courteously.

Master Lu stared at Shang Ji's words, and said, I said it was you, what kind of mess with my old man.

For this, Shang Ji could only respond with a wry smile. An old man of this age, let alone a high-level talent, would not be provoked by ordinary people, and he had to endure being pointed at his nose and scolded.

Master, I have an equipment blueprint here, I would like to ask you to take a look at it. Shang Ji held the equipment blueprint in both hands, and handed it to Master Lu respectfully.

Master Lu took the blueprint, glanced at it, then glanced at Shang Ji, and said, Exclusive equipment blueprints for special arms? Let's take a look at the other parts too!

Master's eye! Shang Ji quickly handed over the drawings of the remaining components.

These blueprints are rewarded by the system for the establishment of the Black Armored Knight. According to the blueprints, you can create an exclusive suit for the Black Armored Knight. From the spear armor to the face armor and vest, it is a big benefit from the system.

Master Lu looked at it very quickly. In less than five minutes, he finished reading more than dozens of drawings.

After reading it, Master Lu carefully looked at Shang Ji from head to toe, and just when Shang Ji was being looked at, Master Lu said: I didn't expect that, I thought that even if a foreigner could make a special The arms are also low-level stuff, I didn't expect you to be a different kind.

Master Lu looked at the blueprint in his hand again, then at Shang Ji, and finally sighed: Amazing, amazing!

Shang Ji wanted to be humble, but in view of the previous incident, he couldn't say anything modest, so he could only smile and accept the kind compliment. At the same time, his evaluation of Master Lu was raised by one level again. Just based on some equipment blueprints, he can conclude that his Black Armored Xuanqi is a high-level special unit. This vision is really worthy of a master blacksmith.

Boy, do you want to build equipment to expand the army?

I can't hide it from the master, but there are currently less than 200 people in Yiqu led by Ji, and there is a lot of vacancies. Ji does have the will to expand the army.

Upon hearing this, Master Lu looked at Shang Ji with a half-smile, and said, Boy, do you know how much this complete set of equipment will cost?

I'm ignorant, please enlighten me, Master!

Cold iron point steel gun, black iron level equipment, black armor black knight special standard long gun. Master Lu took out a blueprint, shook Shang Ji, then stretched out two fingers, and said: Twenty gold !

Without waiting for Shang Ji's response, he took out another seven or eight cards,

Said, Tiger head black gold armor, black iron level equipment, a full set of black armor black knight standard armor, not expensive, forty gold each set!

Regardless of Shang Ji's ugly face, Master Lu continued, I won't count the messy things like vests, rams, visors, saddles, etc. for you. Adding one piece and fifteen gold is enough!

Every word of Master Lu caused a heavy blow to Shang Ji's heart!

A full set of equipment for the Black Armored Xuanqi alone cost seventy-five gold! This is not counting the price of the war horse. At present, the Black Armor Xuanqi is equipped with middle-grade war horses, each of which costs at least 20 gold! This is also the reason why there are plenty of war horses close to the grasslands in the north. If it is in the south or the Central Plains, it is not uncommon for the price of middle-grade war horses to double.

In addition, the recruitment of soldiers in the army also required settlement expenses and military pay.

Previously, the Black Armored Army were all captured bandits, and the settlement fee was temporarily saved, but recruiting bandits was not a long-term solution. In the future, if the Black Armor Army wants to expand its scale, it must recruit regular troops and must have housing allowances.

In addition, the military salary of the fourth-level soldiers requires at least two monthly payments. In a year, you will get more than 20 gold. In addition, maintaining morale and loyalty requires occasional rewards, and rewards are also required for winning battles. The money spent on soldiers in a year exceeds 50 gold.

Counting the expenses of equipment and food, the training and maintenance cost of a black-armored Xuanqi would be about 150 gold.

Thinking of this, Shang Ji suddenly wanted to die! One hundred and fifty gold! At present, even if you sell iron merchants, you can no longer equip a hundred black-armored black knights!

Thinking of the establishment of the Black Armored Xuanqi before, the system directly rewarded a full set of equipped war horses, and Shang Ji regretted it to death!

If I had known that I had trained all the remaining black armor troops, I would have saved more than 10,000 gold coins in one go.

Regret is useless now, Shang Ji cheered up and was ready to consider the matter in front of him.

Master Lu, I wonder if Wangquan County can manufacture a complete set of black-armored Xuanqi equipment? Shang Ji asked.

Master Lu jumped up immediately when he heard the words, and roared at Shang Ji while rolling up his sleeves: Is it possible? You actually asked me if I could forge it? Kid, are you provoking me?

Master Lu calm down, how can I distrust you, Master Lu? I mean how many sets of Xuanqi suits can we forge in Wangquan County in a month? I don't mean to question the master, but please forgive me! Shang Ji saw He hurriedly apologized, and at the same time sighed in his heart, this old man is worthy of being a blacksmith, and his temper is just violent!

After hearing the words, Master Lu calmed down his anger a little, looked at Shang Ji with disdain, and said, If you can spend that much money, why not let me build you a hundred sets a month? The key is do you have so much money? ?”

After a pause, Master Lu said again: If you exchange meritorious deeds, I will be the master. Sixty meritorious deeds are worth a set, but I remember that your current position as a military marquis is still temporary, right? I think you don't have many meritorious deeds!

It's not just that Shang Ji doesn't have many meritorious deeds, the current meritorious value is still a big zero!

Okay, Master Lu, then I will order two hundred sets first, here is a deposit of eight thousand, and I will pay the rest in one month, what do you think? Shang Ji took out a bag containing eighty purple said the bag of gold coins.

Master Lu took the bag, without counting it, he weighed it lightly with his hands, and he was sure that there were indeed eighty purple gold coins inside, he couldn't help but looked at Shang Ji curiously, and said: I can't tell, you are still a rich man! Forget it, come and pick up the equipment in two months!

Shang Ji said: Thank you, Master Lu! Ji has one more request, and I hope Master will fulfill it!

Tell me!

Ji also wants to ask the master to create another batch of weapons and equipment.

Oh? Do you have any other equipment that needs to be crafted? What are the requirements? Do you have blueprints? Master Lu asked curiously.

The requirements for this batch of equipment are a bit special, and they are required to be kept secret for the time being. Please forgive me, master! Shang Ji saluted and said.

What request? Master Lu asked out of curiosity.

Master, my batch of equipment requires the appearance to be exactly the same as the Xuanjia set! At least roughly looks the same! There are no other requirements, and the best cost is as cheap as possible. It takes 100 sets and it will be built within two days. I wonder if the master can do it. Do it?

You kid, what the hell are you planning? Could it be that you want to slap your face to look fat? Master Lu asked Shang Ji with a glare.

Hey! Shang Ji scratched his head, smiled a little embarrassedly, and didn't explain.

Hmph! You can do such silly things at such a young age! Master Lu snorted angrily and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Not long after Master Lu left, a middle-aged man came in, bowed to Shang Ji, and said, General Shang, the master has already told me your request, and I can do it! According to your request, tomorrow will be the latest. It can be finished in the afternoon. The cost is about one gold per set, what do you think?

I don't know the master's name yet? What's the relationship with Master Lu? Shang Ji asked.

My surname is Liu. You can call me Liu Tie. I am one of the master's disciples. Liu Tie replied.

It turned out to be Master Liu. It's easy to say, so I will leave my equipment to Master Liu. I have a little thought, but it is not worth mentioning. Please accept it! Said, Shang Ji took out two purple gold coins and handed them over.

When Liu Tie saw the two purple gold coins, his eyes straightened immediately, he stared at the purple gold coins closely, but he refused: General Shang, what...what do you mean? I don't...can't accept it!

Master Liu, don't be offended, just show some kindness. The equipment I need to build still needs a lot of attention from Master Liu, so don't refuse Master Liu. He said and put two purple gold coins into Liu Tie's arms.

Liu Tie gritted his teeth and said, Don't worry, General Shang, I will do my best to build your equipment and ensure that all of them are high-quality products!

Shang Ji smiled and said, That's it, I'm relieved! Then I won't disturb Master Liu's work, so I'll take my leave first!

The role of money is huge. Liu Tie personally sent Shang Ji away from the armory camp, and he repeatedly assured Shang Ji that he would work overtime to help Shang Ji build equipment to ensure that the tasks were completed with quality and quantity.

The 10,000 gold coins were all spent, and Liu Tie’s little money was not worth mentioning. In his previous life, Shang Ji had seen this kind of situation where money was easy to handle, so he knew better what money should be spent and what money should not be spent. . A general with a high position has seen and experienced all kinds of nasty things, and he has no psychological barriers to bribe people.

Returning to the camp, I saw Su Huan waiting at the gate of the camp, saw Shang Ji, and immediately went forward to report: My lord, the task you gave me has been completed!

Shang Ji nodded upon hearing this, and then walked into the barracks.
