Chapter 94 New Ways to Make Money
I arranged for Vader to take care of Lord Polaris, and I left Essinger overnight and rushed to the European Dark Temple to hand in the mission. The loss in Leichuan makes me feel very sad. The earlier I went to the United States to get Moyu, the earlier I would have reversed the loss. Leichuan was built to make money, and losing money is not my hope.
Since the establishment of the transnational teleportation array, traveling back and forth has become much more convenient, but the time difference is annoying. It's already past nine o'clock here in Essinger, but it's still afternoon here in Europe, and the sun hangs diagonally there, looking like a red egg. Tianyu City is in the Death Mountains, and the sky is covered by continuous dark clouds of death like Essinger. No matter how bright the sun is, there is only a red circle.
After leaving Tianyu City and going straight to the Dark Temple, I ran into that lich again without any surprise. This guy never seemed to stay well in the temple and liked to run around everywhere.
"Old friend, are we really destined?" This lich looks like a parrot! "What's wrong with you today?"
"I completed the transaction with Lord God last time, and I'm here to hand in the task this time."
"Then shall I take you to see the Lord's temple?"
"OK."
Although the nagging of this 'parrot' is quite annoying, the work efficiency is not bad. Under his guidance, I quickly met Ditans.
"I heard that you took care of those two foxes?" Ditans was not polite when he saw me coming in and asked directly about the result.
I didn't answer him, but threw him the collar I took off from Yue Ran's neck.
Ditans took the collar and looked at it: "You didn't bring back the body?"
"** is just the carrier of the soul. If you want to see the corpse, I can get you a lot of it. Besides, can you identify which one is the little fox among the bunch of foxes?"
Ditans shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't recognize them. In my impression, foxes all look the same."
"So I brought something that can be easily distinguished." He took out Yue Ran's inner elixir and held it in his hand: "Did you see it? This is the inner elixir of a monster, which is equivalent to the magic core of a monster."
Ditans took the inner elixir and looked at it for a long time: "It is indeed full of demonic power, and it also has some characteristics of the fox at that time. But I need to find someone to confirm, do you mind?"
"certainly."
Ditans quickly called a helper from outside. This guy was none other than the lich. "Help me see if this is the inner elixir of the fox that came to cause trouble last time."
The Lich took it and looked at it before saying, "It's true, that's right."
I handed Yaoyao's inner elixir over and said, "This is from the other one."
Ditans immediately said: "There is no need to confirm this. Anyway, as long as the fox who has read the secret code is dead."
"Then my peace treaty is completed. Where is the other half of the labor and the reduced funds you mentioned?"
"I will immediately ask my men to send the laborers to your city. The funds will be reduced as agreed. I will refund half of the purchase cost of the Death Mountain."
"Thank you very much. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. I have to leave now. There are still many things waiting for me to do in the meeting."
"Morrit, see the guest off for me."
The Lich immediately floated over to send me away from the European Dark Temple. Along the way, this wordy guy kept talking nonsense to me, which made me keep accelerating my pace so that I could get away from his magic sound ear piercing as soon as possible. After finally escaping from the Dark Temple, he quickly turned the teleportation ring and returned to Tianyu City.
Before going to the United States, I needed to resolve the negotiation issue among the undersea races, but the sudden appearance of the Sea Tribe (Shemo Tribe) made everything messy. Atlantis and the White Shark Tribe currently have no time or energy to prepare for negotiations. Defense and reconstruction are the focus, so I plan to postpone this matter until I bring Moyu back from the United States. Because I am not the only one going to the United States this time, I have to pay attention to things on the Eagle side. Since I'm in Europe now, I just wanted to take a look at the progress here.
First, I contacted Ying via private message, "Where are you?"
"Eh? Ziri, you...huhu...how did you come to Europe?" The eagle's voice was accompanied by a tinkling sound, and he seemed to be doing something, panting like a cow.
"What are you doing? Why is it so 'chaotic' over there?"
"I'm...cutting people!...Hurry...come here and help!"
"where?"
"You teleport to Hughes City, and you can see us when you leave the city and walk north."
"Hang on, I'll be there soon."
This eagle is really, why did he start a fight with others when he was asked to come here to buy red-striped magic crystals! First teleport to Hughes City, summon Ye Ying immediately after exiting the teleportation area, and take off directly into the sky in the city. Look in the right direction and head north.
After leaving the city gate, I saw another city without running far. This is a very rare situation. Generally, cities should not be so close to each other. At present, the city is full of people standing outside, and there is chaos inside and outside the city.
boom! There was a sudden muffled sound outside the city, and then a section of the city wall suddenly flew into the sky. With such great power but no flame visible, there is only one thing that can do this - the city-breaking cannon. So these people outside the city are people from our guild, no wonder the golden light is shining together.
There were too many people outside the city and I couldn't find Ying's location, so I had to contact Ying through private messaging. "I'm here, where are you?"
"Right underneath you."
"Ah? Down below?" I stretched my head from the side and looked down, and sure enough I found the eagle standing below. I quickly landed and found that there were quite a few people in our guild, and everyone who could come was basically there. "What are you doing? You don't even say a word to me about such a big thing as a war."
"No, you misunderstood." Eagle explained to me: "This is not our guild declaring war on this city. Of course, we are also one of the main forces in the battle."
"what does it mean?"
Su Mei jumped out from the side and said, "It's the coalition attacking."
"Allied forces? What kind of army are we joining?"
"Treasure Seizing Army." Ying continued: "That city was newly built, just above the mining area, and was clearly prepared to embezzle the ore. Many players were dissatisfied with this, so we started this war and took advantage of it. "
Su Mei rushed over and said: "The main force in the battle is the German guild. Our guild will directly participate in the war without sending out personnel this time."
"Then what are all these people doing standing here?" At least more than 3,000 people came to our guild, and they actually said that we would not directly participate in the war!
Su Mei replied: "War requires accumulation of experience. We are here to observe. See how others fight, we can learn from their strengths, and we can avoid the mistakes they made. What a good thing."
"It's true that you came together to watch the excitement and even made an appointment to observe and study. Do you want to form a group of officers and go to the other side's city to see the difference between the two sides' combat arrangements?"
Su Mei said disappointedly: "I wanted to! It's a pity that they won't let me in!"
There was no possibility of victory in the argument with Su Mei, so she decided to change the subject. "What's going on with the cannon over there?"
"That's for rent."
"Ah? Rental? Can we also rent cannons?"
Ying said: "Don't mention it, the cannon can be rented out, and it was your wife who came up with this idea."
"What Rose said?"
"Well. Rose said that we don't use these things at ordinary times, so we just keep them in the warehouse. We might as well bring the cannons over and rent them out wherever there is a battle. Don't mention it, this thing is in demand. The attackers are in great need of city-breaking cannons. , the defenders are particularly fond of Woma’s newly developed shotguns. In addition, we also rent out sniper guns to both sides to attack the other party’s artillery.”
"Wait, wait, wait. Sniper cannons? All the cannons they rent are ours. If they are broken, wouldn't we be unlucky?"
Ying said: "How can we be unlucky? You will know just by looking at this quotation."
I took the quotation and looked at it. It was full, as thick as a journal. This thing is divided into categories according to the purpose and caliber of various artillery. The rental price of each type of gun is written at the back, and the last few pages are some supplementary regulations. The first stipulation is that the leased artillery is rented together with the company personnel. The other party only needs to send one person to direct the artillery to shoot at the target. The specific operations will be done by people from our guild, and they will not be allowed to come into contact with the artillery. This can play a role in maintaining technical confidentiality. The second fixed point is that renting artillery is charged based on time. The price listed on the price list is the price per minute. If it exceeds the price, it will be increased. The third stipulation is that only the artillery is leased, and the shells must be purchased separately, and our shells must be used. It is not allowed to bring your own shells. Article 4 stipulates that before renting an artillery, a deposit equivalent to the cost of the artillery must be paid in advance. If the artillery breaks down during the rental process, 1% of the deposit will be deducted as maintenance costs. If 1% is not enough, the excess will be borne by ourselves, but if the artillery is destroyed, the other party's deposit will be all ours. It’s so dark!
Ying looked at me and continued: "Have you seen the deposit? On the surface, it is said that the deposit is equal to the cost. In fact, we still have money left over from the deposit we collected to build three cannons, so we rent out sniper cannons to both sides every time. If our cannon hits, you can get a deposit three times the price of the cannon. Isn’t it very profitable?”
"Now I know why you are hoping that these cannons will be hit. If one cannon is missing, three will appear for nothing. This is good business."
