Chapter 75 Money Entrapment Plan

"Isn't that what I was thinking about?"

Although it is said that three cobblers are equal to Zhuge Liang, the problem is that even three Zhuge Liang may not know how to solve some problems! Red-streaked magic crystal, what a seductive name! If such a valuable resource is discovered, there is no reason not to keep it for yourself. Anyway, the rules of the game are that force overrides everything, and there is no defined owner of resources. Whoever has the ability to grab them belongs to whomever. But this thing is really not easy to grab!

Rose analyzed: "The resources are fixed, and we cannot move them. It is not practical to mine the ore underground in a short time. Then it must be occupied for a long time, but we do not have enough manpower to deal with the consumption of this long-term occupation. And once the opponent makes a large-scale Offensive, our output is not enough to compensate for the war losses, so we really cannot do such a loss-making business."

"How about we sell the news?" Su Mei and Xiao Yao walked in from outside holding hands.

We looked at these two little guys together. "Selling news?" Ashford is more concerned about this issue than me.

Su Mei looked at Ashford: "I can tell you the method, but if you use this method and get the red-streaked magic crystal, our guild will ask for half of it."

Ashford nodded immediately. He wouldn't have gotten a penny without our help, so he certainly won't care about it now.

Xiaoyao saw Ashford nodding and continued: "No matter what method we use to get the red-striped magic crystal, we must pay a price. Even if the mine is under our city, mining still requires people, and this fee It won't be too little. What's more, this is minerals in enemy-occupied areas, which is even more difficult. Mining while fighting is definitely not an option. Then we will change our thinking mode and not mine minerals ourselves but let others do it."

"Let others drive? Then what do we get?" After all, Ashford is a German, and he is a tough-minded person who still can't turn around after hearing this.

Su Mei came over and jumped on the seat and said: "I don't understand yet. We sell the mining address of the red-streaked magic crystal, and promised all mining people that we will purchase minerals at a price higher than the average value."

Ashford said in confusion: "I still don't understand. Isn't this a serious loss? Is it possible to buy it at a price above the average price?"

Even I couldn't bear it this time. "Why can't you understand? The fee charged when the news is released will definitely not be small, and not everyone will dig up the red-striped magic crystal. We receive the news fee from everyone who gets the news, and as long as we get the news from Very few of them bought the few red-striped magic crystals. We were using the information fees collected to buy the red-striped magic crystals, which was equivalent to picking them up for free. The red-striped magic crystals are associated mines. There won’t be all red-streaked magic crystals in that mining area, and it won’t cost much to acquire them.”

Rose added: "The price does not actually need to be higher than the market price. We can purchase a large chain contract from the system. I remember someone used this thing to publish news before. The person who said the news can add a chain contract to the news , everyone who hears the message will first be asked by the system whether to accept the contract content attached to the message. If you refuse to accept, the system will automatically block the message and you will never hear the message. We can add it to the accompanying requirements of the chain contract The excavated magic crystal must be sold to the constraints of our guild at a certain price, and there is also an additional constraint. No matter who is involved, leak the news to anyone in any form, including speaking, writing, and mute. Third-party people will have collateral effects, that is, no matter how you tell anyone, that person will also have to pay a message fee and sell us the red-streaked magic crystals dug up, and the system will automatically protect it. You won’t charge one person multiple times. It’s a very complete system, right?”

"How much does this contract cost?"

"The contract itself only costs 10 crystal coins as a handling fee. After that, each person who receives the contract will have to pay an additional gold coin fee, but that is given by the other party and we don't have to pay."

"That's even better."

Ashford said: "I understand now. Doesn't this mean you are gambling?"

"Betting?"

"Yes!" Ashford explained: "Think about it! Everyone who is willing to receive the news is equivalent to buying a lottery ticket. If he digs out the red-striped magic crystal, he will win the lottery. If he digs If it’s not enough, it’s equivalent to buying an empty account. How do you think it’s all you who make the profit?”

I corrected: "It's not just me, but you too! This is a joint contract, so we should earn the money. Why don't we all make it together?"

"But I feel a little sorry for those who were deceived."

"You don't have to worry about this. We can make it clear before the specific news. Someone on the other side may use force to seize resources. We need everyone to be prepared for safety issues. Anyway, it is a voluntary registration. If you don't want to pay, you won't accept the news. Have you collected the money? Besides, we have a lot of prizes. In addition to the special prize red-streaked magic crystal, there are also a large number of ordinary magic crystals. It is an associated mine anyway, and it is not just the red-streaked magic crystal. There are more Most of them should be ordinary magic crystals, and if they dig them up, it’s like winning the second prize, and they won’t be considered a loss.”

"Okay then." Ashford stood up and said, "There is another question. How do you plan to set the price of the news?"

"I have to ask you this."

"Why are you asking me?" Ashford didn't know yet.

I said: "You didn't even tell me the size of the mining area and the density of the minerals. How do you want us to set the price? Even if we are engaged in gambling and we don't know the value of the prizes, how do you want me to set the price of the lottery? If the prizes are rich and the hit rate is high, , I can increase the price appropriately. If the prizes are small, then the lottery tickets cannot be sold too expensive. You should know this better than me."

"Oh! I was negligent!" Ashford said quickly: "The prizes are very rich. The mining area is in a forest, covering an area of ​​about 700 hectares, and it is very dense."

"What about the burial depth?" Rose asked: "There are also monsters around. If the mine is mined in a high-level monster area, the cost of mining will increase."

"The depth of the burial is not very clear. It is said that someone discovered a small piece of magic crystal directly on the surface, and then excavated it on the spot. Later, he was asked to dig out the red-striped magic crystal. According to this statement, it may be 'dew' Mine. As for monsters..."

Su Mei continued: "Needless to say, it must be a gathering place for high-level monsters. The system has never given anything away for free. All minerals are either buried very deep or the nearby environment is too bad to be mined, or there are piles of monsters. The place you mentioned The environment is so good and the minerals are easy to mine, so the only possibility is that there are monsters running all over the ground.”

"This kid is so smart!" Ashford gave a thumbs up.

Su Mei said angrily: "I am not a child, and I have to pay a price for speaking to the lady like this."

I quickly grabbed Ashford: "She is the devil in our guild, you'd better not mess with her. That's it for business. You will be responsible for the main operations. After all, you are a local, so it is convenient for you to do things." some."

"Then I'll leave first."

Ashford said and was about to walk out, I quickly stopped him. "Let me see you off! Don't get in trouble if you get lost."

After we all sent Ashford away together, we happened to go to the blood pool together. Of course we came here for a purpose, and that was for those totem beasts. At present, these dragon eggs are only props for totem missions, and they will not be counted as totem beasts until they are confirmed to be hatched. Now I want to put them into the blood pool to strengthen them before they turn into totem beasts. According to the properties of the blood pool, the weaker the creature that enters, the more it will be strengthened, so putting eggs in it is definitely better than adults. Going down the dragon has an effect.

"They're all here." Rose counted the dragon eggs next to the pool. "It's 1,000 pieces, right?"

"There are exactly 1,000 pieces, and they are all here."

"Then let's put them all in, right?"

Su Mei pulled us and said, "Should we ask Sister Wei Na to come too? If these things are hatched in advance and strengthened, it will be difficult to deal with them."

"No, we can still deal with this little thing. As long as these eggs don't hatch at the same time."

"Oh well!"

We can't do the work of putting eggs into the pool. People like me can't enter the blood pool for a long time. However, there are many skeletons in Essinger and many porters. Just call a few for this trivial matter.

They took these dragon eggs in and out one by one, and I had to direct them from the side. These are dragon eggs, and the blood pool is no ordinary thing. Evolving dragon eggs is not a salty duck egg. The angle of entering the pool and the soaking time are both particular. If you soak it for too long, it will easily lead to excessive demonization and loss of control. If the time is too short, the effect will not be good and the evolution will not be complete, so the time must be strictly controlled. There are special skeletons nearby who are responsible for quickly drying the eggs out of water. Otherwise, it would be a big trouble for them to completely absorb the blood on them.

Fortunately, we cooperated well and we finished soaking without any accidents. I checked the new products and found that some had different types of evolution and some had no reaction. The two wisdom dragons evolved into rune dragons, which seemed to be a very rare variant. The spirit dragon evolved into a dream dragon, and its strength was greatly improved. The fairy dragons are rather strange. They seem to have changed their attributes instead of evolving. The original fairy dragons have become elemental dragons. This is a kind of dragon that corresponds to the fairy dragon, but its attributes tend to be dark forces. The black dragons don't seem to have changed much. After all, they are originally black, and they will stay that way again. The result of the evolution of the Crystal Ankylosaurus is the Black Crystal Dragon. I had never known this species existed before, so I don’t know its attributes for the time being. The evolution of the holy dragons is quite special. They went to the extreme and evolved into shadow dragons. This is a very deadly dragon, because there is no shadow dragon that doesn't like blood. As long as they appear, the earth will be stained with blood, so the number of births is limited, and dragons of this type are only allowed to hatch when the dragon family is in danger. The golden dragon is similar to the black dragon. They have not evolved at all. This is probably because the resistance attribute of the golden dragon is too strong. He is basically completely immune to magic, so the blood pool has no effect on him. The evolution result of silver dragons is very ordinary, they become magic dragons. This demon dragon does not mean devil dragon, but magic dragon. The Silver Dragon's magic power is already very strong, and now it becomes even more powerful when it is strengthened. The last one is the red dragon. This part of the evolution is slightly smaller, because the red dragon itself has a strong dark attribute, so the blood pool does not have much effect. The new breed of red dragon is called the Red Blood Dragon. It seems that its attributes are only slightly more powerful than the red dragon's, but evolution is better than no evolution.

Although it is evolution, these are forced evolutions of the blood pool, not normal evolution, so the names of these dragons have not changed. The new names just add a bracket after the original name, which is not really shown. It is estimated that the hatched appearance Not much will change.

The next step is to take these evolved dragon eggs to the city management NPC. Of course, the totem beast must be confirmed for use before it can be considered a totem. The NPC supervisor in this city is new. It turns out that the old man was transferred to Steel City. The new NPC here is called Yu Bai. He is a young revenant. He looks like he is only a teenager, but he has actually been dead for thousands of years. This is called ghosts.

"Yu Bai. These eggs need to be confirmed as urban totem beasts. Do you know the processing procedures?"

Yubai floated over to look at the eggs held by the skeletons behind. "We have a city tree, so we don't need a special magic circle. The problem is that these eggs cannot be authenticated. We need to hatch them first before we can confirm them."

"Does it have to be hatched first?"

"of course."

It seems that the only way to hatch these eggs is first. But one problem is that we don't know how to hatch these eggs at all. It seems that dragon eggs can't be hatched like chicken eggs, right? These are not magic pets, and dripping blood is definitely not right. This matter requires experts. Fortunately, I had many dragons and quickly summoned the plague.

"Master? What's going on?"

"Do you know how dragon eggs hatch?"

Plague shook his head desperately. "I have no idea."

Rose asked: "Aren't you a dragon?"

Plague asked, "Does it mean that if you are a dragon, you must know how to hatch dragon eggs?"

Su Mei shouted: "Brother Ziri, you are so stupid, how can you call it a plague? This kind of thing should only require a female dragon. Don't you have a dragon named Crystal?"

"Yes, I forgot about her."

Boys don’t know how to take care of children, girls should know that! Summoning Crystal and asking, Crystal said shyly: "She is still a girl! How could she know such a thing!"

"Are we still looking for a female dragon that has given birth to baby dragons?"

Xiaoyao asked: "Who else in the guild has a dragon?"

"Red Moon has one." Rose said.

"Tianhuo is a boy!" Crystal said.

"By the way, Alas has two dragons." Sumei shouted.

"Who is Alas?" I seem to have never heard of this name.

"A player in our guild turned out to be a member of the Women's Federation, and he just got two dragon eggs recently." Rose explained.

"What about her?"

Rose continued: "No need to look for it, her dragon is not yet an adult!"

"Dizzy!" I scratched my head and said, "We usually have a lot of dragons here, but at the critical moment we can't find any!"

Su Mei suddenly jumped up and said, "Why did we forget Hong Yan?"

"That's right! Although Hongyan has turned into an undead dragon, he must have had children at his age!"

"Hongyan is a boy!"

"I have never given birth to a child, but I have always seen other dragons bring children! He is also a heroic dragon after all, and he must have been a great lover back then. With his status, illegitimate children must be inevitable, and maybe he can really do such a job as hatching eggs. .”

When we arrived at Hongyan's place and explained our purpose, Hongyan was a little embarrassed and said: "I have indeed seen the hatching of dragon eggs. The problem is that I can't remember it clearly after so many years. It seems that some special magic and appropriate coordination are needed. temperature, it requires a lot of responsibility anyway.”

"What should we do?"

"Don't be anxious yet. Let me think about it." Hongyan thought for a while and said to us: "Don't you know the location of Dragon Island? Can't you just go to the Dragon Clan to help hatch it?"

Everyone else looked at me, but I complained: "Dragon Island is in the open sea. Not only is it far away, it's not easy to find, and it takes too much time to come back. Don't you have a faster way?"

Rose suddenly leaned into my ear and whispered: "Isn't Lucky going to be a father? If you go offline and call Lucky online, he might know."

"It's useless. You didn't hear Hongyan say he wants magic. Dragons in reality don't know magic! The hatching methods of the two are definitely different."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"Okay then!" I said loudly to everyone: "You should go and do your own business first. If I can't handle this task, I will go to Long Island for help."

After sending everyone away, let the skeleton soldiers put the eggs here for Hongyan to take care of for the time being. I took Rose offline with me. I took off my helmet and went straight to the giant biological laboratory. Rose followed me into the elevator.

"I hope Lucky knows!" Rose whispered.

I said: "The possibility of Lucky knowing is not very high. He was picked up by me and was not hatched normally, so don't hold out too much hope."

"It's more convenient than having to go to Dragon Island again."

"That's right."

Just as he was talking, the elevator dinged and reached the floor. When the elevator door opened on the ground floor, something suddenly appeared at the door, and Rose screamed in fright.
