tourism.
To be honest, this topic is a bit out of class for Melita - it should be out of class for most dragons in Tarrond.
The glorious and powerful Tarrond in the past was advanced in everything, and the extremely boring dragons played almost all entertainment activities, but the word "tourism" had nothing to do with the life of the dragons : Externally, Tarrond is completely closed, and a strict system of prohibiting all visitors is implemented under the big shield. Internally, Tarrond has been stagnant for millions of years, and the daily lives of a large number of lower-level dragons have stagnated along with society , coupled with the abuse of synergists, the extreme development of virtual entertainment, and the replacement of traditional entertainment by extreme competitive sports, etc., the dragons have long lost the concept of tourism, and the "working dragon" born under the company's order like Melita All the more so...
But this did not prevent her from understanding the concept Gawain talked about, she was just full of doubts about the feasibility of all this: "Is this all right? Take people from Loren to Tarrond, protect them well, and then they Will you pay for it?"
"This is the most basic, but if you really plan to operate it as a big project, just doing these basics is not enough," Gao Wen laughed, and he suddenly became very interested in this matter-this is not only It is an opportunity to win over the dragons and further explore the secrets of Tarrond. If it is operated properly, this will also be the first time in the history of the Loren Continent to establish exchanges with other continents. The foundation and promotion of many blank areas behind this is It is unimaginable, "You should establish some supporting services in an all-round way, such as setting up travel agencies at all levels in the Loren Continent, which should be familiar to you - Mithril Treasure's business in this area is more or less the foundation; secondly, you You should also set up a suitable 'visit route' in the Loren Continent, and try to extract profits from it as much as possible, and you can also engage in some value-added business..."
Gao Wen purposely said it in a very general way, but this really aroused Melita's interest further, and Miss Blue Dragon immediately moved closer: "So what's the specifics?"
"First of all, there are many kinds of people who are interested in mysterious lands like Tarrond, including citizens with little savings and curiosity, adventurers with an exploratory spirit, and those interested in dragon culture and exotic knowledge Scholars, including aristocrats who are full of novel ideas, foolish and rich, you have to divide the business according to these people, such as economic group, boutique group, luxury group, and then get a few special cultural inspection groups, Exotic exploration groups and so on. In fact, most of the places you take them to are similar. After all, there are only a few safe areas there, but you must make a distinction when you promote them. You must make each level attractive enough , but also to blow out the feeling of different grades, and then get a few different grades of inns and hotels, so that all the consumption is worth the money...
"Then there is the tour route. After all, most of the area there is still wasteland. You can't really throw guests into the wasteland, so you need to plan some areas that are safe enough and attractive enough to come out, such as The proven factory ruins, city ruins, or battlefield ruins in the wilderness—maybe you think those ruins are not worth visiting, but believe me, everything that happened on that land is worth understanding, And those who have traveled thousands of miles to Tarrond... what they want to know is everything behind those ruins.
"Finally, there are value-added services. Those rich people who go to Tarrond travel thousands of miles. It would be a loss if they just go to see the scenery-after all, this kind of thing can also be done through magical illusions and memory implants. To achieve a similar effect, so if you want to make these people feel that their trip is worthwhile, then you have to think of some irreplaceable projects. For example, you can do some "wasteland survival experience" or "Tallond folklore simulation" What……"
In the middle of Gao Wen's words, Melita suddenly couldn't help interrupting: "The experience of living in the wasteland? Why does this sound...a bit dangerous?"
"cough cough,
It’s not what you imagined.” Gao Wen coughed dryly, and the ideas in his mind quickly formed, “It’s certainly not possible to bring people into the wasteland to experience extreme survival, but you can let them participate in some activities in a safer place. Something only in the wasteland area. For example, give them some tools, let them experience how to disassemble and recycle dragon buildings, let them experience how to filter clean water from polluted water, let them experience how to operate your production machinery..."
The more Melita listened, the more dumbfounded she became, and finally she couldn't help interrupting: "Wait, you asked them to do work for us—and then charged money?"
"...This is an experience project," Gao Wen said with a serious face after being quiet for two seconds, "and after the experience, you should give them some souvenirs—for example, choose some from the finished products they produced, and stamp them beautifully. Ordered packaging or something. If you don’t need the extra output, you can also put it in the store on the tour route and sell it to other tour groups..."
Melita felt that it was difficult to close her mouth, and she couldn't help asking: "The so-called Tarrond folklore simulation..."
"The glorious scenes of Tarrond in the old days are definitely gone now, and you will not be able to restore similar things in a short time-but the visitors don't know this. You just have some special food, living, and social activities. , entertainment scene, if you have spare capacity, build a few more experience areas, claiming to the outside world that it is to 'let guests experience the life of a giant dragon for a day'... Anyway, your history is more than one million years old. I have inquired about it. Even the landforms of the continent and the survival mode of the ethnic groups have been reshaped several times, so no matter how bizarre the "experience" project you designed, it must have a corresponding in the history of more than one million years, and it is not a lie to say it. ...
"You can throw this project into the luxury group. It's okay to charge a little higher. Most of the people who participate in it should be nobles and wealthy businessmen. For them, 'experience the life of a dragon' is better than your injection of synergists. .”
Melita's expression was a little numb: "If you have any other ideas, just say it..."
"Indeed there are still some," Gao Wen thought for a while, nodded and said, "For example, for different groups of people, you can further refine the tour items.
"For example, for those scholars who are interested in the culture of Tarrond, you can build some facilities such as exhibition halls and academic museums, and clean up the scrap copper and rotten iron that you have collected from the ruins and can be made public. In it, briefly introduce their functions and one or two short stories related to them. For this knowledge, those scholars are even willing to live in it for ten days and a half months;
"For those nobles who want to experience excitement and show off but can't really set foot in dangerous places, you can order some thrilling projects for them, such as flying them over lava lakes, taking them through storm clouds and so on— — We all know this is a risk-free thing for the dragon and the passengers protected by the dragon, but for those who have never experienced it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can also provide photos during these projects Service, record the customer's "heroic attitude" when challenging the project - the printed photo is charged per copy, the photo crystal is purchased separately, and paid delivery is available...
"Yes, paid delivery can also be a very important fee item-the dragon personally brought someone's 'adventure evidence' from the sky to the human world, to show everyone that a certain heroic story is true...you know those How much would the nobles be willing to pay to show off at this moment? Especially the remaining nobles of Cecil and Typhon who have been deprived of many privileges and can only be bored in the family castle and recall the glory of the past...
"Of course, this project shouldn't last long. As giant dragons come into contact with the Loren Continent more frequently, the dragon clan's sense of mystery to ordinary people will decrease...but it will take at least ten or even decades."
Melita listened in a daze. Just as Gao Wen paused, she couldn't help asking: "And then?"
"Then... you can also consider some more special projects. Let me give you an example. If Tarrond is opened, there will definitely be many adventurers interested in it. Now Loren Continent, apart from the core wasteland area, The land in most areas is owned, and with the rise of trade activities across the continent and the start of large-scale development in various countries, there will be fewer and fewer unexplored areas in the future. In addition, various security companies, regional defense companies, etc. With regularization, the living space of traditional adventurers will inevitably be rapidly compressed—under such circumstances, Tarrond will become a fertile ground for these adventurers facing unemployment.
"You can open up some quotas for these adventurers. Their strength may be weak compared to giant dragons, but they are numerous and have strong fighting spirit. Since they can survive the fierce competition until now, most of them still have some skills. Yes. Set an entry threshold for them, and let the adventurers who pass the assessment go to areas they can handle. Aren’t you suffering from the rampant elemental creatures and wandering spirits in certain areas, which always involves the energy of rebuilding the team? Let the adventurers Those who want to deal with those things. Believe me, as long as they are properly allocated, don't let them go to the depths of the wasteland, and only do some low-intensity clearance work in the fringe areas. Those adventurers from the Loren continent are definitely professional.
"In this way, more dragons will inevitably be freed from trivial patrolling tasks around the camp - those weaker elemental creatures shouldn't involve too much energy from the dragons, they are too affecting your reconstruction progress. "
When Gao Wen said this, his expression became more serious. He knew that behind this matter was not as simple as "economic benefits" - a land that had been blocked for millions of years was about to open its doors, no matter what form it took with the Loren Continent. Making connections, the consequences of which are bound to be far-reaching, deserves to be taken seriously.
Melita also listened carefully to Gao Wen's words. She had some doubts on her expression at first, but as her thinking deepened, her doubts quickly faded away. After realizing the feasibility of this matter, she raised her head: "This is indeed a good way... Everyone can get something. I think even Speaker Andal shouldn't mind providing suitable rewards for those adventurers..."
"What kind of remuneration do you offer?" Gao Wen immediately waved his hand, "You should charge."
Melita: "...huh?"
"The travel expenses to Tarrond, the registration fee, and the hunting license processing fee for a specific area," Gawain said with a face of course, "and your hunting licenses are graded—the ones that have just passed the examination Adventurers can only patrol and hunt in the area near the camp, and only issue low-level hunting licenses. After they prove their strength and have enough qualifications, they will be replaced with more advanced licenses, so that they can go deeper. Anyway, you guys Pay attention to good supervision and inspections to prevent some too reckless adventurers from jumping into the danger zone and die - this is also responsible for their lives..."
Melita: "...Then why do those adventurers accept such conditions?"
"The hunting proceeds belong to the individual," Gawain spread his hands, "You probably don't have any idea about this kind of relatively 'low-level' things—you know that the elemental creatures and mana spirits are already flooding in Tarrond. , how scarce and high-value prey is it in Loren Continent?"
Melita: "..."
After that, Gawain told Melita a lot of ideas—most of them came to him suddenly at this moment. He kept talking for a long time, until the night outside the window was thick and the town was lit up with a large number of lights, those rough thoughts gradually formed a systematic thread.
Melita's expression was already somewhat numb.
When Gawain's explanation finally came to an end, the blue dragon lady couldn't help staring into Gawain's eyes, and finally broke the silence after a long time: "...the world says that dragons are greedy, extremely obsessed with treasure, good at plundering wealth and accumulating treasures ..."
"Don't talk like that, most of this was originally written and circulated when you were traveling in the human world." Gao Wen immediately waved his hand, "The world didn't say that."
"...Well, I won't discuss these details," Melita coughed dryly, "What I mean is—we dragons are really keen on collecting treasures and are good at accumulating wealth, but now I suddenly feel that you are better than us dragons. Returning to the Dragon Clan..."
Gao Wen thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong: "Why does this sound like a curse?"
"This is a compliment from the bottom of my heart," Melita said sincerely, "I'm really surprised by your thoughts."
"So what's your evaluation?" Gao Wen asked, "What do you think of my plans?"
Melita lowered her head to think seriously, and said softly after a long time: "I have indeed written some stories about evil dragons coming to the human world to plunder wealth, and some of my fellow tribes are also keen to fabricate 'villain novels' in this regard, But now I know that robbing is not the fastest way to get money... Your idea is much more ruthless than robbing money."
Gao Wen: "...I still think you are cursing people."
"It's really a compliment, and it's from the bottom of my heart," Melita laughed, with a sudden sense of relief and joy in that smile, "I must thank you, thank you for these suggestions... Tarron Dekong With a superb civilization, my people have been raised as 'babies' by Omega. After leaving Omega, we found that we lack even basic survival skills and foreign exchange experience. Without your suggestions... really I don’t know how we can take the first step of revitalization.”
