Chapter 22 Building a Merchant Ship

"Ding! The transaction is successful and you will get 1200 copper coins!"

"Ding! The transaction is successful, get 1000 copper coins!"

Soon, Ye Jun sold all the remaining weapons.

Now, there is only one blacksmith in the world, and only this one, the supply of weapons is in short supply.

The weapons and equipment in the game mall are too expensive. Many people did not grab Ye Jun's equipment, and they all beat their chests, only wishing that they didn't have two more hands.

Many people left messages to Ye Jun, and asked Ye Jun to notify them as soon as possible next time he made equipment.

Ye Jun also made a lot of money this time.

Building gear is indeed a good source of income.

Unfortunately, there are too few ore.

But maybe I can get other players to help me collect ore!

Ye Jun suddenly thought of this.

Anyway, this is a game, the ores are all in the wild, and there are no requirements and restrictions on collection.

With so many players in the world, it is impossible that no other player has encountered ore.

As long as you spend a certain price to acquire it, I believe some players will be willing to mine.

After all, in peacetime online games, there are countless players who are keen on mining and collecting these occupations.

Not to mention that in this survival game, if you can exchange minerals for materials, isn't it fun to bloom?

Ye Jun thought of this and posted a post:

"Buy metal ore in large quantities. Bronze ore, 10 copper coins. Others can be negotiated."

Ten pieces of bronze ore can be refined into a copper ingot, which can be exchanged for 100 copper coins, but when it is made into a weapon, it can be sold for a high price of 1,000 copper coins.

This is ten times the difference!

Sure enough, no matter what era, the weapons industry is hugely profitable.

As soon as the post was posted, many people responded immediately:

"One ore for 10 copper coins? One stone can buy one bread!"

"I don't know how much metal can be extracted from a piece of ore? But I think Ye Shen must have made the difference!"

"Needless to say? If you don't make money, Ye Shen will work for you? What are you thinking!"

"I seem to have a kind of iron ore there, I don't know if it can be valuable!"

"I think I'm going to send it. I was chased by a wolf and fled to a valley last time. I picked up a few pieces of silver ore to smash the wolf in a hurry, and now I still have a few pieces in my hand, but I don't know how to use it, Ye Shen... ...can you make a price?"

"Smashing the wolf with silver, sure enough, money can make the wolf grind the mill..."

...

Ye Jun browsed the post at random, and just saw the player who claimed to have picked up silver ore. With a move in his heart, he immediately contacted the other party and said, "Can you show me the silver ore you said?"

The other party obviously did not expect Ye Jun to contact him in person. You must know that now Ye Jun is a world celebrity, and there are countless players who want to have a relationship with Ye Jun all the time.

This player named Jia Congming was so excited that he sent a piece of silver ore directly.

"Player Jia Congming (wilderness mode) presented you a piece of silver ore, please check it!"

Ye Jun also saw the properties of silver ore:

"Silver ore: ore containing silver, which can be extracted into a certain amount of silver."

It's just that I don't know how much silver can be extracted from a piece of silver ore, which needs to be melted and refined.

Ye Jun was afraid that the other party would be anxious, and said, "How much silver ore do you have? I'll give you 20 copper coins, and I want it all!"

The reason why Ye Jun gave out 20 copper coins is because copper ore is 10 copper coins a piece, and the price of silver ore should be higher.

Jia Congming was taken aback.

Is this thing so valuable?

Is it really made of silver?

Jia Congming suddenly became shrewd and asked, "Ye Shen, how much silver can be extracted from this piece of ore?"

How could Ye Jun not be able to guess what the other party was thinking,

Apparently, he felt that Ye Jun's bid was too refreshing and felt a loss.

That's how people are. If Ye Jun wasn't in such a hurry just now and kept the price down, the other party might sell it right away and thank Ye Jun.

Ye Jun was not in a hurry, smiled lightly, and said: "100 kilograms of high-quality silver ore can extract 10 grams of silver. Your silver ore is only ten kilograms, and if you can extract 1 gram of silver, it is also valuable. 20 copper coins."

"Then you can't make money?" Jia Congming was a little disbelieving, "No! Ye Shen, a piece of copper ore costs 10 copper coins, is it possible that silver is twice the price of copper?"

"This is different. The copper ore is not ordinary copper. I can use it to make weapons. The price I buy is naturally higher."

Ye Jun said: "Silver can't be used to make weapons, I can only purify it and earn a labor fee at most. I also hope that the silver content of the ore produced by the game is higher, maybe I can earn a few more copper coins. The difference! Otherwise, it is possible At a loss!"

Jia Congming didn't fully believe it, and secretly made a post anonymously, asking how much silver could be extracted from 100 kilograms of silver ore.

There is no shortage of big winners in this world, and someone quickly replied to Jia Dazhuang's question:

"Industrial quality silver ore, 100-120g/t. That is to say, one hundred kilograms of silver ore can extract 10-12 grams of silver."

Jia Congming did the math, which he was not good at. Even if his silver ore was of the best quality, 1.2 grams of silver could be extracted from a piece of silver ore, which was worth 24 copper coins.

"Ye Shen is indeed a kind person!" Jia Congming sighed in his heart, and after a lot of bargaining, he finally set the price of a piece of silver ore at 22 copper coins.

In this way, Ye Jun only earns 2 copper coins for a piece of ore, which is not too much. For a person as famous as Ye Shen, he should earn some hard work. Jia Congming thought to himself.

It's just that he doesn't know, and neither do other players. The quality of the ores produced by the game is extremely high.

For example, ten copper ore can extract a copper ingot, which is worth 100 copper coins.

Ye Jun estimated that they were both produced by the game, and the quality of the silver ore should be similar.

Ye Jun guessed right. When he melted ten pieces of silver ore and refined it, he got a silver ingot the size of a baby's fist.

"Successful refining, get +1 silver ingot, worth 100 silver coins."

"Jia Congming, you think you don't lose money, but you don't know that I earn blood!"

Ye Jun couldn't help laughing.

220 copper coins changed hands and turned into 100 silver coins.

Close to fifty times the huge profit!

This deal is so worth it.

Moreover, according to Jia Congming, there are a lot of silver ore in that valley, at least hundreds of pieces.

This is much more profitable than working hard to build weapons.

Sure enough, it confirms the old saying: the weapons industry is a huge profit, and making money is a huge profit.

Do nothing to make money by yourself.

Rich, rich, rich!

Ye Jun was in a particularly happy mood, and couldn't help buying a bunch of food, fruits, snacks, and happy water in the mall to celebrate.

Although it is a bit expensive, it is a drop in the bucket compared to so many silver coins.

With so much money, Ye Jun can finally start buying materials and building merchant ships.
