Chapter 57 Small Business

I just lay there all night holding the rose. Although I didn't sleep, I didn't feel bored. I wonder if this is the function of primitive instinct! After getting up in the morning, everyone gathered together and went outside to play all morning. After the negotiation, everyone returned to the normal feeling of friends.

During lunch, Ashford suddenly mentioned the matter of the guild. "Have all of you played "Zero"?"

Everyone at the table nodded. Yusina asked very enthusiastically: "What is Ashford's name in the game? How was the game?"

Ashford said: "I use my real name. I am the president of a guild in Germany. It is the largest guild in Germany. It is pretty good, right? Shenlin and Solant have met me in the game. , they are also very powerful.”

Yusina became excited as soon as she heard it. "What's the name of Shenlin in your game?"

"My game is called Purple Sun. Rongrong's game is called Blood Red Rose."

"Then what's your profession? Is there a guild?"

Ashford rushed to answer: "They have the Frost Rose Alliance. They don't have many people, but their strength is one of the best. They also have a super city called Isengard. I was scared the first time I went there. Jump. That’s what’s spectacular.”

Terry whispered to the side: "Frost Rose Alliance? I seem to have heard of it somewhere!"

Solant introduced himself: "I use my real name in the game, and I established a guild called the Holy Destruction Alliance. But it's far behind the two of them. Their guilds can make all the difference in their own countries. A big guild, my guild is still a small gang like an illegal assembly, and even the guild city has only one level 17 village, and even the city walls are made of civil structures!"

Rose smiled and said: "It's not so miserable, right?"

"You don't know! There are too many guilds in France, the power is severely divided, and the competition with each other is fierce."

I nodded and said, "Probably because the romantic French people like freedom, so the guilds are very small and very loose."

Solent said helplessly: "That's why I'm so miserable! By the way, let me tell you a situation that only exists in France. Over there, a set of super beautiful armor with poor properties is better than a set of armor with poor properties. 'Good-looking, rubbish armor is several times more expensive! No one wants our high-end equipment, but camouflage armor is particularly popular. The French Quarter is the only country where there are more tailors than blacksmiths!"

Yusina said cutely: "It is indeed a region with the peak of clothing trends in the world, but there are more tailors than blacksmiths!"

I said to Yusina: "By the way, you asked us, what about yourself?"

"Me?" Yusina leaned on her seat and said, "My game is called Elsa, and there is a mid-level guild called Rainbow Alliance."

Ashford suddenly shouted: "Isn't that colorful battleship that I met last time yours?"

"No!" Yusina also shouted: "Did you sink my Rainbow?"

Ashford smiled awkwardly and said: "Sorry! Misunderstanding! I didn't know it was your boat at that time. Besides, it seemed to have escaped! Your boat was very fast, and we didn't catch up. .”

"5555~ How fast! It sank later! It was my most beautiful warship, and you actually beat it into a sieve. The returning disciples didn't hold on, and it was really hard when they were still more than 100 nautical miles away from the coast. I can’t hold on any longer.”

Terry asked strangely: "You were besieged by the fleet? How could you be beaten into a sieve?"

I explained to Ashford: "Their guild has rapid-fire cannons that can fire twenty or thirty rounds a minute. If the armor is thinner, it can be fired into a sieve. So Yusina's ship is not big. ah?"

Ashford laughed and scolded: "Steel is very expensive. Who is as perverted as you to make the armor so thick! The materials are free?"

Yusina looked at me and asked: "Are the battleships in Shenlin very powerful?"

Ashford said: "His battleship? With the firepower on your Rainbow, you can't sink it even if it's parked in the port without anyone on board."

"So exaggerated?"

I quickly defended myself: "Don't listen to what he said. Not every ship is that big! Not long ago, I had the Japanese sink one ship and seriously damage another, and it's still lying in the dock!"

Ashford was surprised when he heard this: "What? Your ship sank? Which one?"

Rose replied: "The Victory was sunk and the Flash was severely damaged. It is still being repaired."

"Is such a thing so powerful? The armor of your ship is almost as thick as the city wall, can you even penetrate it?"

I smiled bitterly and said: "The torpedo exploded. The Japanese have acquired torpedo technology. My Victory was hit by 1 mine, and it sank after staying at sea for more than an hour. The Flash was hit by 18 mines and escaped crookedly. He came out, and was later dragged and dragged back to the port by us. Thanks to our battleship's high power and speed, otherwise a whole fleet would be there!"

Ashford said in surprise: "Your battleship is almost 10,000 tons, will it sink now?"

Yusina exclaimed: "Is your battleship so big?"

"Why are torpedoes so powerful? How can a ship of nearly 10,000 tons be sunk with just one torpedo?" Terry also looked at us and said, "Some people in my guild are also studying torpedoes. How can a ship of nearly 10,000 tons be destroyed by thirty or forty torpedoes?" Bar?"

I said: "The Japanese mines are more than 800 millimeters in diameter and more than 7 meters long. They are about as powerful as a small atomic bomb. I will be thankful to God if I can save one!"

Upon hearing this, Terry said: "It's several times bigger than our thunder!"

Rose heard something was wrong. "Terry, you mean your guild has torpedoes?"

I got excited when I heard it. "That's right! Terry, tell me about your situation in the game, and I want to know about the torpedo."

Terry said: "My name is Long Lan in the game. I have a guild called Neptune Palace, which specializes in the navy. I just came up with a torpedo project some time ago. It's very powerful and very easy to use. Russia is always beaten by us. Sink a lot of ships.”

After hearing this, I became even more interested. Terry actually has torpedoes and they have been put into practical use. "Are your torpedoes capable of direct navigation or can they be guided?"

Terry smiled and said: "Ours is a real wire-guided torpedo, very accurate."

Yusina covered her mouth and kept laughing, "Haha! It's a wire-guided torpedo! Do you call that a wire-guided torpedo? Haha!"

Others looked at them strangely and didn't know what they meant. Terry asked Yusina unconvinced. "Is that a torpedo?"

"yes."

"Then do my torpedoes use wires to control their direction?"

"yes."

"That's it, isn't it? A torpedo that can control the direction with wires is not a wire-guided torpedo?"

We were all confused by what they said. Ashford asked: "What kind of wire guide are you?"

Yusina smiled and said: "He? Just tie a line to the left and right balance wings of the torpedo. If you want to turn left, pull the left line, and if you want to turn right, just pull the right line."

"Is this also called a wire guide?" Everyone shouted together.

After thinking about it carefully, this seems to be a solution. You can imagine yourself opening your arms, tying a rope to each wrist, and then starting to run forward. If the rope in either hand is suddenly pulled, you will naturally turn that way due to inertia. This wire-guided torpedo has the same principle. The structure is a bit simple, but it is really an achievable method. The most important thing is that this design is so cheap! How much are two ropes worth? Besides, can the rope be retracted after the explosion? It won't all blow up. Why didn't we think of this method at the beginning? Americans really know how to think! However, this design seems to have shortcomings. If the rope is broken by gunfire, wouldn't it become unguided? But I guess a rope shouldn’t be that easy to aim at, right?

Rose also asked: "How did you solve the problem of the thruster?"

"Use an internal combustion engine! We have studied a small propeller dedicated to torpedoes. It has small power but is cheap. The cost of a propeller is only 63 crystal coins. Is it cost-effective? But because the power is too small, it has to drag two ropes , so the torpedo cannot be made too big. Otherwise, the speed will be too slow and the ship cannot catch up, so it will be useless."

Ashford and I shouted almost at the same time: "Are you selling small propellers?"

"What are you two looking at?" Terry was frightened by the looks in my and Ashford's eyes. "Of course I make this thing and sell it. Why not sell it if I can make money?"

I immediately said: "For 2 million crystal coins, I will buy your special propeller production technology. I promise not to transfer it to a third party and only use it for my own production. Do you want to do it?"

Terry held out five fingers: "5 million. You are not allowed to sell the product, you can only use it in your own guild."

"Four million. I'm not selling anything that contains this thruster technology."

"I want it too." Ashford also asked for one. "The conditions are the same."

"make a deal."

"Awesome!" Haha! Japanese, wait! It's time for revenge! "By the way, I forgot to ask just now, how far can your torpedo travel?"

"The torpedo can travel very far. The main problem is that the rope is too long and is easily affected by the waves and the elasticity of the rope. Besides, you can't see it if it travels too far. How to guide it?"

Ashford said: "We have an over-the-horizon observation scope, and we can see it no matter how far away it is. But I think the torpedo doesn't need to be launched that far, it can be within 10 kilometers."

Terry assured: "There is no problem with this. As long as the waves are not too big, there is absolutely no problem for 10 kilometers."

"That's enough." Rose pulled my hand and I understood what she meant. Our guild has submarines, and torpedoes and submarines are completely useless. They are absolutely accurate.

"By the way, Agia, how are you doing?" Yusina noticed that Agia had not spoken.

"Me?" Ajia was a little embarrassed. "You are both guild presidents. I'm so sorry. You are nothing. You haven't even joined the guild, and you are still single."

"Isn't it?" Terry exclaimed exaggeratedly: "You are too great to be able to work alone for such a long time, aren't you?"

"It's not that I'm great, there's really nothing I can do! No one wants me!"

"What is your profession? How come no one wants you?"

"I am a support professional player, the kind with no offensive power."

"Someone should want it too!"

"My profession is a lens manufacturer, I have no idea what the use is!"

"Lens manufacturer?" Ashford said, "I know what it's used for."

"What's the use?"

"Long-distance observation mirrors and telescopes at sea are made by lens manufacturers, but I have never heard that players can choose this profession. In the past, it was all done by NPCs!"

"So no one wants me!"

Solant said: "Italy doesn't have a large navy and can't use large lenses. Small telescopes are sold at shipyards, so of course they won't use lens technicians!"

"Then do I need to go abroad to find a way to survive?"

I immediately said: "Come to my place? We want it. What's the name of your game?"

"Call Sisippi."

Ashford also said: "You can come to me, my guild itself has a research institution in this field."

Agia said: "Forget it, I want to stay in my own country. I believe it will be used in the future."

Since he said so, we can't force him to come over, so everyone just forget it.

Terry suddenly remembered that we were not in the same country and asked how our transaction would be carried out. I replied: "I'm going to the United States in a few days. I'll contact you privately when I get there."

"I think I'd better send someone to contact you, right?" Terry seemed anxious.

Ashford said: "Forget it, I think I'll do it! The distance here is closer. You give me the drawings and I'll pass them on to Ziri."

I said, "Okay. I'll ask them to give the money to Ashford later, and you two can make a deal. Just bring me a copy of the drawings. It's easy for us to meet anyway."

Yusina asked: "Is it easy for you two to meet? Aren't you one in Germany and the other in China?"

Ashford was about to speak when I interrupted him and said, "We are a friendly guild, and we have ships that communicate with each other for a long time." It is better not to let too many people know about the transnational teleportation array for the time being. Especially when it’s not clear whether Terry and Yusina’s guild is friends or foes of us.

We spent our lunch time talking and laughing, and in the afternoon I drove them to the Longyuan headquarters building to meet their parents. After my father saw me, he asked me how I was doing with his eyes. I gave a thumbs up, and my father smiled and nodded.

My dad and I took them to the airport together around 3 p.m., and it wasn’t until about 4 p.m. that everyone left one after another. Watching the last plane fly away, my father said to me: "Tell me about the situation."

I said as if I was offering a treasure: "Three medicines, the transaction prices are 100,000, 600,000, and 1.6 million. The least one of them asked for 100,000 of each. How about it?"

"It's not bad. I have some skills. 100,000 US dollars per tube multiplied by 100,000 US dollars is 10 billion US dollars, at least 230 billion per family! That's almost it. Anyway, medicines are consumables. You have to buy them after you use them up. There will be more in the future. earn."

I smiled and said, "Who told you it's US dollars?"

"Oh, it's not U.S. dollars? The RMB is not losing money either, so don't be discouraged."

"Who said it's in RMB? What I sell is in euros. One piece costs 100,000 euros."

"Euro? You are really black. Not bad, Dad did not misjudge you!" Dad patted my shoulder happily. For the same numerical value, the values ​​represented by the three currencies are quite different!

I took the opportunity and said, "Dad, can I make a request?"

"What do you want? Tell me. You have done a lot of credit this time." Dad was so happy that he even forgot about the trouble I caused.

"Didn't you ask me to fight against Japan in the game? But this game is designed to absorb funds. It is too expensive. I have invested too much in this way. It is so hard! Can you let me exchange some money for it? ?”

Dad thought about it for a long time and said: "I didn't let you mobilize funds at first because I was afraid that you would not be enterprising because of my investment. Now it seems that you have done a good job. Okay! I will give you 100 million yuan from this profit, okay?" Alright?"

"You still say I'm a gangster, but I'm still a gangster if you don't. I've helped you earn nearly one trillion euros, and you're going to give me 100 million yuan to send me away?"

"Of course, I am your father, so I must be darker than you. You still have to learn from me! Hahahaha!"

Rose also went around to the other side of her father and hugged her father's arm. "Dad! We are really working hard! Shen Lin asked me to take care of the accounts, and I really have a headache. Although he is also very good at making money, there are so many places where money is needed. I am so anxious that I have pimples on my face. Can you Just save your daughter-in-law!"

The advantage of girls is that they can act coquettishly, but men basically have no immunity to this. Regardless of whether the other party is a mother, wife, or daughter, as long as the relationship is relatively close to a woman, acting coquettishly will generally work. Dad was finally defeated by Rose's hard work and promised to give us 10 billion yuan. Ha ha! 1 billion crystal coins! There's help! I want to buy many, many warships, build many, many torpedoes, and send all the Japanese ships to the bottom of the sea.

"By the way, son. Have you seen this person in the game?" Dad handed me a photo.

I took it and looked at it for a long time. I felt like I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember it. Hand the photo to Rose. "Have you seen it before? I seem to have some impression!"

Rose looked at the photo and was stunned for a while. She suddenly asked me to hold the photo, and then she reached out to cover her hair and chin. She and I shouted at the same time: "Shadow Dancer?"

Rose said: "Did you see it too?" I nodded.

Dad got the photo back. "Have you really seen it?"

I said: "We fought against each other during the last Chinese guild alliance. This guy is the boss of a guild called the Light Alliance. What do you ask him for?"

Dad said: "We are not sure yet. Anyway, keep an eye on him. This may be a time bomb around us."

"clear."

Dad quickly warned: "Don't alert him. Before I tell you, don't let him notice that you are paying attention to him. Just pretend it doesn't happen. If there is friction, fight as usual. Just don't let him feel that you are paying attention to him." Just pay special attention to him.”

"It's difficult!"

"I won't let you go if it's not difficult."

"Okay, I'll just keep an eye on him. Anyway, he has some friction with us in the game, so it's reasonable for me to send someone to keep an eye on him."

"Anyway, don't alarm him yet. I'll tell you what to do later."

I left the airport with my dad, who went back to the Longyuan headquarters building, while Rose and I went to the base. Seeing as it is still early, let Rose sleep for a while, as it may take her very late at night to rest. After Rose fell asleep, I went to the cafeteria to have a meal alone. There is something wrong with this body. Normally, it looks like a normal person, but if it is injured or after heavy physical exercise, the food intake will increase significantly. After eating, I went to see Lucky and informed him that he was ready to go online.

Fortunately, this boy had a two-day vacation, and he and his dragon sister almost collapsed the foundation. The researcher didn't dare to speak yet. Everyone knew how depressing it was to be interrupted while doing that. If he was depressed personally, then he would be depressed! But luck is a dragon, who dares to make him depressed! Don’t you want your life anymore? Fortunately, Lucky still has physical limitations, so he was quite cooperative if I said a few words to him when he was tired.

The researcher reported that Ms. Long was ready for fertilization, and the ultrasound results revealed a growing baby dragon in her belly. Fortunately, she was going to be a father faster than me! The researcher suggested that I should not let luck come online in the past few days and spend time with Silver Dragon. Because according to the results of their DNA test, Long would be more violent during the due period, and they were afraid that no one would be able to restrain Yin Long from getting angry. Lucky is a dragon after all, so he should be able to control her. In addition, Lucky and Silver Dragon are both synthetic creatures. Although they look like reptiles, their DNA is designed to be viviparous. Viviparous creatures generally need the care of their parents after birth. They don't want the little dragon to be lucky enough to be in the game after birth, which may affect the little dragon's psychological growth. This is the trouble with highly intelligent creatures, they are prone to psychological problems!

I asked Lucky not to go online during this period. Anyway, I have more than one dragon pet, and there are not many situations where everyone needs to be dispatched. See if the time is almost up, go back and wake up Rose, take her to have a meal and come back online. Rose first made a phone call to ask about the situation of disembarkation, and received news that it was nearby, but it was always going around in circles when she couldn't find the specific location of Dragon Island.

We immediately put on our helmets and appeared on the coast of Long Island. Someone actually arrived earlier than us. These dragon people are really "away from the heart like an arrow"! After seeing us coming up, everyone gathered around and asked about the situation of the boat.

I stood on a rock and said: "We just called and asked before going online. The ship has arrived near us, but it is protected by an illusory barrier. They can't see where the island is, so they are going around in circles. You all transformed Go out and look for them in dragon form. It should be easier to find them higher up. If you find them, bring them in."

"Already arrived? Great." All the dragons excitedly transformed and flew out. Rose and I could only wait on the shore. With so many people out, it should be easy to spot the target.

In fact, the light cruiser has already arrived outside the island, less than 5 kilometers away from us, but we can't see the island passing by. The dragons immediately spotted the target as soon as they flew out of the illusion range, and the warship came almost a few minutes after they left.

After all, the light cruiser is a cruiser, and its tonnage is not small. There is no way to get too close. All the dragons flew over and landed on the ship. I also flew over with the rose. But everyone can't leave now because everyone is not here yet. There are still 5 people who are not online, including Ziyue. We agreed to go online at 6pm Beijing time, and we would wait until 8pm to leave the island at most. It is only after 6pm now, and there is still more than an hour left, so we have to wait. If anyone else doesn't show up by then, I won't wait any longer.

Ziyue came online at 7:10, followed by two more people, but there were still two people missing. Several Americans on the boat suggested not to wait, as they were afraid that the mentally unbalanced people who could not leave the island would come and cause trouble. Don't I know that waiting for one more minute will increase the risk, but the time is set like this, I can't break my promise!

At 7:40, another person came online. This guy was scolded half to death by everyone when he came up, but we still have one person missing, so he is really tough!

Later, more and more people agreed to wait, and I began to waver. Turning back to Lin Yue, he said, "Count the number of people and see who hasn't come?"

Lin Yue counted for a long time and said: "An American player was found by Sun Yan. I don't know his name."

I asked: "Are you from our guild?"

"No, he didn't join."

This result makes me not want to wait even more. The players behind started to make a noise, saying that it was not worth taking the risk for one person. I said to the back: "It's already 7:45 now. We agreed to keep our promise at 8 o'clock. Let's wait another 15 minutes. If he doesn't arrive at 8 o'clock, we will sail immediately."

Everyone thought that 15 minutes was not a long time, so they all became quiet. I was really anxious as I watched the time tick by, but that damn guy just didn't show up. When the time reached 7:55, I shouted to the captain standing outside the bridge: "Weigh anchor, turn the bow over first, warm up the propeller, and be ready."

The people below became excited when they heard my words and were about to leave here. Their dreams were about to come true. The battleship slowly turned around and faced the sea, ready to set off at any time. It was exactly 8 o'clock when everything was ready, but the damn guy still didn't show up. A player reminded: "President, it's 8 o'clock."

I looked at the time and shouted to the captain above: "Let's go, no more waiting."

As the propeller roared, a white wave appeared behind the battleship, and the battleship finally started. "Wait for me!" A voice suddenly came from the island, and the guy finally appeared at the last second. He transformed into a giant dragon and flew towards us. After he landed on the battleship, he was immediately beaten by a group of people. This was the result of being late.

I took one last look back at Dragon Island, only to be startled by what I saw. "Enemy attack...!"
