Chapter 47 Huge Profits

After Shadow Dancer introduced all the situation, a sailor walked in. "Here we are."

Shadow Dancer looked at those people strangely: "Where are they?"

"You'll know when you come out." Masamoto Matsumoto took the lead in walking out of the cabin.

Shadow Dancer was completely dumbfounded when he followed him out of the cabin. What he saw in front of him was not the endless sea, but a huge port. Nearly ten thousand large and small warships are neatly arranged in the port. A large number of workers are busy up and down on the dock. There are many people coming in and out of the warehouses.

"This...this...is this land?"

Seeing the surprised expression of the shadow dancer, Matsumoto smiled proudly. "It's not land, it's an island."

"Island?" Shadow Dancer obviously didn't believe it.

Masamoto Matsumoto proudly said: "This is the land that our great God Tianzhao created for us on the sea."

"What?"

"What? Don't you believe it?" Masamoto Matsumoto said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I can't explain this matter in a sentence or two. Anyway, you just need to know that this island is between China and Japan. "

"The middle? Isn't that the storm zone?"

A Japanese man next to Masamoto Matsumoto immediately said: "Nonsense. Chinese warships run back and forth all day long. If we didn't put the island in the storm zone, it would have been discovered long ago. This place was built by our master, who was in the storm zone We have opened up such an area that is not affected by the storm, we can use this as an advance base, and we can attack Essinger in the future without anyone noticing."

"It's so great!" Renjiu and Matsumoto Masaru both subconsciously exclaimed.

Masamoto Matsumoto congratulated: "This island is the reward we got for completing a difficult mission. The shape of the island is like a gear, and every depression is a port, so the entire island can dock a large number of warships, and these protruding The sharp corners are all turrets. Each turret has dozens of huge cannons. Anyone who dares to get close will be guaranteed to have no chance of coming back."

"It turns out you have such a good base, now I'm not afraid that I won't be able to defeat Isinger."

"Of course, the end of the purple sun is coming! Hahahaha!" The Japanese all laughed.

At this time, Essinger and Sumei are introducing her solution to us. In order to maintain this dominant position, we must ensure that the total number of cities is above. Currently, the guild with the most cities in China besides us has 17 cities. Although the 17 cities combined are less than half the size of Essinger, a small city is still a city!

The tables in the conference hall were moved to the edge of the room, and Su Mei stood on the map to explain to us. "Everyone, pay attention here. This is a city captured by the Iron Crusaders. Do you feel anything special?"

I saw that this city on the map happened to be among the mountains. 12 long mountains formed a radiating sun. Those mountains were the rays of light emitted, and this city was the main body of the sun. disc. There are canyons between these mountains. There are exactly 12 canyons sandwiched between 12 mountains.

Rose suddenly asked: "Don't you want to cheat?"

Su Mei smiled evilly and asked, "Why not?"

Eagle is more honest and doesn't understand their cheating ideas. "What do you mean by cheating?"

Rose explained: "Pay attention here. The 12 mountains are distributed in a radial shape and surround 12 canyons. As long as we build two walls in the canyon, the space between the two walls can become a City. Although the city created in this way is very small, it can still be considered a city. And there is a large city blocking it behind. No matter which side is attacked, reinforcements will be very easy. A total of 12 satellites can be created from 12 canyons. Cities, plus the huge barracks city behind them. That’s 13 cities. We already have 5 cities, and adding 13 will make 18, which is just more than the guild with the most cities.”

Ying looked at the map and finally understood what this so-called cheating concept was. Ah Wei measured it on the map with his hand and said, "Is this place a little too small?"

Su Mei said: "If it is not big enough, you can open the city wall a little wider. As long as the city wall in the satellite city does not overlap with the outer wall of the central city."

Ah Wei looked at it himself and said: "Even if it is built like this, a city will only be 10 square kilometers at most! It is less than one-eightyth of the first level of Essinger."

Su Mei protested: "Isinger cannot be counted. Essinger is a multi-story structure, which cannot be calculated in ordinary cities. Besides, Isinger is a magical city after all! The total area of ​​multi-story buildings in Isinger exceeds 3,800 square meters." Kilometers, how many cities have such a big one?”

"But 10 square kilometers is too small! The mini-city that the Koreans promised to sell to us only has more than 30 square kilometers! Even the village is not less than 12 square kilometers!"

I stopped their quarrel. "Everyone, be quiet. In fact, I think this problem is not very complicated. Small cities do have many problems. The main problem is the waste of personnel, but at present, in order to ensure this dominance, it is better to do what Su Mei said."

Su Mei immediately said happily: "Brother Ziri is still brave."

"But..." I paused and said: "Small cities cannot be built too small, otherwise the city will be blown up with a few cannons. The largest caliber artillery shells at present can destroy 0.3 square kilometers with just one shot. The area is 10 square kilometers, and it will be over with just a few rounds of salvos, absolutely not."

Su Mei immediately shouted: "Brother Ziri! Why do you hit fifty boards each? What do you mean?"

"Of course the city must be built, but it cannot be built randomly." I said to the NPC next to me: "Open the three-dimensional map." The ground rose rapidly. A translucent three-dimensional map appeared in front of everyone. "Okay. Look at these mountains."

"Is there something wrong with the mountain?" Rose and the others couldn't figure out what I meant after looking at it for a long time.

“Don’t you think these mountains are huge?”

"What happened?"

Seeing that they still looked puzzled, I simply told them all. "Since the area of ​​these mountains is larger than the area in the canyon. Why should we build the city in the canyon? Since it is a satellite city, its main function is to protect the main city behind it. What can be better than a city fort? What about protecting the city?”

Rose asked me in surprise: "You mean to build cities on mountains and then turn these cities into complete forts?"

I nodded: "These mountains are obviously lifted up by the earth's crust. The mountain walls are completely straight up and down. Where can you find such a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack? Just flatten the top of the mountain and then build a city on the top of the mountain. , fill the city with cannons, don’t leave the exit of the mountain, just use the teleportation town to enter and exit.”

"This method is good." Su Mei said: "But just using the teleportation array is still not enough. I suggest this. We create a vertical channel in the mountain that leads to the depth below the ground level, and then turn a corner to connect from the underground to the central In the city. Our anti-gravity device can be used to build a large elevator in this vertical shaft. It is more convenient to go up and down. There are also stairs next to the elevator. If there is a problem with the elevator, you can climb the stairs. The elevator and passage do not need to be too big. The elevator only needs to be able to transport 12 fully armed knights at a time, and the stairs can be lined up with 3 horses. In this way, our people can enter and exit at will. Even if the enemy enters the passage, we cannot form a formation in this place. It only takes a few people to defend it.”

"Yes. That's right. I'll do as you said. Then I'll leave this project to you." I said to Su Mei, "You have to act fast. It must be completed before we sell these cities."

Su Mei said: "Don't worry about this. It can be built in such a small city in a few hours. We have steel claws for the passage, and the excavation should be very simple. It is just that it is more troublesome to level the top of the mountain, but as long as there are enough people, it should be done soon." It can be finished.”

"You can pick the manpower from Tianyu City. The project there is basically finished. Just bring some NPC workers over."

"No problem, I won't be polite!" Su Mei turned around and ran away, looking very motivated.

"Now that the city problem has been solved, the next problem is to sell the city. Let's quickly find ways to get the message out through various methods to see who wants to buy the city."

Ah Wei suddenly asked: "What if those guilds find people to sneak in and buy those cities themselves?"

Rose spoke first before I could say anything. "What we want is money, not the city. It doesn't matter who buys it. If they want to spend money to redeem their city, we don't mind."

"Understood."

"It's nothing. Just hurry up!"

After leaving the conference hall, none of the leaders of our guild was idle. They all trotted out to do things. I myself was also very busy. But our hard work is very worthwhile, because these labors will soon be exchanged for a lot of money.

We sent people to all public channels and forums of "Zero" to post information and promote it. Hongyue also spent 1,000 crystal coins to buy a broadcast opportunity in each major city in the game, and the teleportation arrays and city gates of each city were Our promotional advertisements are plastered all over, and basically anyone online should have seen these messages. In addition to these, occupied cities are also open for players to visit. It is convenient for everyone to evaluate whether they like this city. Anyway, those hostile guilds cannot enter our city within 3 days, and it is absolutely safe to open the city. I also personally posted notices of the transfer of this city in these cities.

Advertising bombing is the same as strategic bombing. What matters is complete coverage. Through our carpet advertising bombing, every guild in China has basically become aware of our city auction. After a day of intense preparation, we finally officially started the auction at 8pm the next day.

This is the first time that Essinger is open to outsiders, but we still screen it and only allow those who participate in the auction to enter. In the advertisement, we asked everyone who wanted to participate to gather outside the teleportation array in Yunxiao City. If we gathered enough people, someone would send them over through the teleportation array. After leaving the teleportation array, these big buyers were overwhelmed by Essinger's shocking momentum. They kept looking left and right along the way. The auction location this time was the Essinger Land Ten Thousand People Auditorium. This super auditorium that could accommodate 100,000 people without the help of hyperspace shocked everyone almost instantly. The distance from the teleportation array to the auditorium shocked them, and they were shocked when they entered the auditorium. Most people had never seen such a huge building, and it was built with such luxury.

The auction officially started at 8 pm, and everyone had just finished eating at this time. Basically, it is the time when the number of people online is the largest. At this time, auctions are more popular. The objects of this auction are all Chinese guilds, and most of them are small guilds. Only those guilds that don’t have a city will desperately want a city, especially those guilds that have built cities but have not survived monster sieges, but those large old guilds are also here, including Feng Yin Piaomiao’s Hot Blood Alliance and our old friend the Northern Alliance.

Rose walked up to the podium to calm down the venue, and then said: "Hello everyone. I am the financial manager of the Frost Rose Alliance, and I will preside over this auction today. I know that you are here for those cities. For those guilds that do not have cities and those guilds that built cities but were destroyed by monsters, your dreams may come true today. Of course, this depends on whether you are willing to pay a reasonable price for your dreams. Okay, no nonsense. Without further ado, let’s start announcing the rules. This auction will be conducted in ascending order of city area. We will display the location of the city on this screen.”

A map suddenly appeared on the wall behind the rose, with some information dynamically displayed on it.

“You can also see a diorama of the city.”

A three-dimensional city model suddenly appeared on Rose's head, on which the city's structure could be clearly seen.

"I will explain the characteristics of these cities to everyone, and then give the lowest price. Everyone has a bidder in their hands. Press once to add 100,000 crystal coins. If you add more than 100,000 crystal coins at a time, shout out, but please be careful when you shout The number must be an integral multiple of 100,000. The name of the guild where you clicked the bidder will be displayed on this screen. It is convenient for everyone to pay attention. Okay, here is the first city to be auctioned. "

A red dot suddenly appeared on the map on the back screen, and Rose pointed at that dot with her long pointer. "This is where the city is located, and this above my head is its three-dimensional structure. The city is at the level of a village, with an area of ​​15 square kilometers. There are several leveling areas around the city..." Rose said after Datong introduced it. : "Okay, this is the situation in the city. The city's base price is 500,000 crystal coins. Start bidding."

"00,000." These people were so crazy that they offered four times the price as soon as they came up.

"..."

"5000000."

"..."

"800w."

"8 million once, 8 million twice, 8 million three times. Okay, this city is acquired by the local snake alliance. Please inject funds into the account designated by the system. The auction system we applied for will automatically complete the transaction."

I didn't expect the competition to be so fierce. A small village of 15 square kilometers sold for 8 million crystal coins. I thought that a small village like this could be sold for 00,000 and that would be enough. I didn't expect it to be 800 yuan. What is the profit percentage?

Bidding for the second city was even more frenzied. In the end, the transaction was sold for 9 million crystal coins. The following cities were more expensive than each other. 67 villages were sold for a total of 730 million crystal coins. I felt like my heart was about to jump out.

The bidding for micro cities is not as fierce as that of villages. The average price per city is only about 17 million. The 23 micro cities sold a total of 391 million crystal coins.

In small cities, there were even fewer bidding places. In the end, the average price per building was 21 million crystal coins, and a total of 630 million crystal coins were sold in 30 cities.

Medium-sized cities are relatively large cities from the beginning, and the places of purchase are all big guilds. Don't think that big guilds have money and are generous. In fact, it is these guilds that are really stingy. Small guilds tend to be people who just want to have fun and don't care about spending money, while big guilds have to be careful about their budgets. The first medium-sized city was sold for 30 million crystal coins, and no one added it as soon as the subsequent prices were announced. A total of 990 million crystal coins were sold in 33 medium-sized cities.

We have a total of 11 large cities, but excluding the city that will be used to build a city network, only 10 cities actually participated in the auction. This time we set a base price of 15 million. Those big guilds suppressed the price quietly. The result surprised us. The price of large cities turned out to be 31 million crystal coins per city, which was only more than that of medium-sized cities. 1 million crystal coins, what a failure! In the end, these 10 big cities were sold for 310 million crystal coins, which feels like a bit of a loss!

Finally there is one super city left, the Sun City of the Alliance of Light. This super city is the third largest city in China. Apart from Essinger and Steel City, it is the largest. The temptation of this super city is very great for those large guilds. As soon as Rose called out the base price of 00,000, someone responded immediately.

"40 million crystal coins." The president of a guild shouted.

"80 million crystal coins." The Northern Alliance people had been silent from the beginning until now, and now they finally broke out.

"100 million." Feng Yin Piaomiao also shouted, but I promised him that as long as he buys the city, he can get a % discount on the final actual payment.

"150 million."

"180 million."

"230 million."

"300 million!" Feng Yin Piaomiao actually went against the people of the Northern Alliance and refused to give in to anyone.

The Northern Alliance people gritted their teeth: "400 million!"

"410 million." Feng Yinpiaomiao seemed not to admit defeat.

"410.1 million."

"410.2 million."

"410.3 million."

"..."

Both sides actually started rogue tactics, and other guilds did not dare to intervene and raise prices. The significance of this super city is indeed very important, but everyone knows that this thing is not worth more than 400 million crystal coins, and these two guilds are completely competing. Hongyue stood next to me and wanted to shout out to Feng Yin Piaomiao, but it was difficult to shout. Her position was not easy to determine.

The bidding continued until 600 million was finally stopped. The people from the Northern Alliance looked at Feng Yin Piaomiao breathlessly, their eyes full of arrogance, but others looked at them like they were looking at fools. A super city No matter how you calculate it, it’s not worth 600 million crystal coins!

In any case, the cities were all sold, and except for the large cities, which were relatively unsuccessful, the sales in other cities were good. All cities received a total of 3.651 billion crystal coins. The system automatically deducted % tax, and we got). 800 million crystal coins, which was a huge fortune no matter how you calculate it. No wonder people say real estate makes money, but now it has been proven that real estate is indeed a hugely profitable industry. In order to obtain these cities, I spent a total of 117.85 million crystal coins to recover those cities, as well as the investment in the battle and labor costs. In this battle, I actually spent almost 200 million, which means that the net profit was only 26.0 )500 million crystal coins. But this is already quite impressive.

We completed the auction here in the city, and the urban construction in Sumei was also completed simultaneously. The 12 satellite cities were built very quickly. The central city was already complete. All it took was to raise the city walls and repair the damaged buildings in the city. We named this new city the City of Honor because it was built so that we could maintain our dominance, so it was called the City of Honor. It would be unrealistic to name the 12 cities outside the city one by one, so we simply numbered them. The one directly north of the City of Honor is Honor No. 1, followed by Honor No. 2 to No. 12 in clockwise order. From now on, this will be our recruit training camp. New players will move here for training. Only after they pass the training will they be sent to cities that need more manpower.

It will be much easier for us to deal with these cities at hand. On the one hand, we have more funds, and on the other hand, we don’t have to worry about those cities being attacked and we will have no time to defend them.
