Chapter 275 A Xuan's Big Purchase [Subscribe]
The crisp sound of the dark gold coins falling into the barrel attracted attention.
This is a symphony of wealth.
More than two thousand dark gold coins fell like raindrops.
Reza Tieshi's face was full of smiles.
This business was equivalent to the turnover of nearly one month in Naroa in the past.
The Deep Valley Mining Merchants also had an assessment mechanism.
As the person in charge of the merchant group stationed at the Black Leaf Outpost, he could get a considerable bonus.
At the same time, there was a chance to be transferred to a more prosperous outpost.
The Black Leaf Outpost was still located in the corner of the kingdom.
The location of the Kingdom of Duroa was originally in the west of the Naroa continent.
The giant city of Atax was in the west of the Kingdom of Duroa.
And Magtan City and the Black Leaf Outpost were closer to the west.
It can be said to be the extreme west.
Even if Magtan City continued to go west for a few hundred kilometers, you could see the "Fortress of the Gods" located in the west of the continent.
That is the natural disaster area of the Naroa continent.
It is also a well-known isolated area.
It is said that as long as you can pass through the barrier of the natural disaster area, you can go to the outer world.
However, according to the situation that Chen Xuan investigated from the ruins of various caves, the outer world may have long become the home of monsters.
If it were not for the protection of Silver Moon, even the current Naroa continent would not be saved.
This proves a very critical situation.
That is, after leaving the Naroa continent, the natives may not be the opponent of the monsters at all.
The strength of the demons is much higher than imagined.
This is a cruel fact.
Now the war between the two sides seems to be going back and forth, but in fact it is based on the situation that the demons are restricted by rules.
If they want to invade the Naroa continent, they must not only abide by the law of the periodic advent, but even the cave passages opened up have strict restrictions on the number of passes.
Such a situation is definitely not good for the demons.
The asymmetry of the war has long been revealed.
If the natives of Naroa really think that they can fight the demons head-on.
That's like putting your neck under the guillotine - you're asking for death.
The three moons in the sky are also divided into camps.
The silver moon is definitely on the side of the Naroa natives, while the gray and green moons are definitely the moons of the demon family.
In short, there are still many secrets about the Naroa continent.
There's nothing wrong with starting in this corner.
The really tragic battle lines are often concentrated in the central area.
As for the "Fortress of the Gods" near Magtan, even if he knew that those disaster areas were famous, Chen Xuan didn't have much desire to explore.
Because doing so, the gains and risks are not proportional.
The disaster areas are often accompanied by powerful disasters equivalent to seventh-level magic.
The power of seventh-level magic can be called devastating.
Not only is the destructive power amazing, but the range of action is also large, and it can easily cover an area of tens of kilometers.
Such terrifying magic is simply a nuclear weapon in another world.
And this level of magic almost completely covers the disaster area.
To cross the Scourge Area from beginning to end is equivalent to resisting a hundred or eighty attacks of level seven magic.
Just to go deep into it requires a huge price.
So it is undoubtedly safe to have the Scourge Area as a barrier in the rear.
Under such location factors, even the Black Leaf Outpost is considered a "countryside place".
This is especially true for Reza Tieshi, who has seen the world.
So he is eager to transfer away from here and go to those popular cities and stations.
There are more opportunities and a larger sales volume there, which can allow him to create more performance points.
In this way, there may be a chance to go to the Deep Water Valley Secret Realm for treatment.
I heard that it is a place like a fairyland.
The crisp sound of money colliding is intoxicating, and it also makes people can't help but imagine.
This is the magic of wealth.
In fact, Reza Tieshi is not the kind of dwarf who has never seen the world.
But when the money echoed, he still couldn't control his excited thoughts.
The fat clerk had a dull look on his face, as if he couldn't believe it.
A bronze-level adventurer took out millions of crowns without blinking an eye.
You know, such a large sum of money is enough to live a wealthy life in any city.
He worked hard to move goods here, and his salary for each Naroya day was only 185 crowns.
It was equivalent to the commission for completing two bronze-level adventure commissions.
To be honest, this salary was not too little. After all, he only needed to work hard and occasionally receive customers.
But people are so annoying.
If he wanted to earn three million crowns, he would need to work continuously for at least 16,216 Naroya days.
What a cruel reality.
It took about half a minute to take out all the more than two thousand dark gold coins.
In fact, the portable storage compartment can be taken out at one time.
But Naroya's storage jewelry can't do this.
So he had to deliberately slow down the speed of taking out.
After the dark gold coins worth three million crowns were taken out.
Reza Tieshi rubbed his hands immediately.
The smile on his face turned his wrinkles into folds.
After a quick inventory, he quickly took off his hat, revealing his sparse hair.
"Please wait a moment."
"Your goods will be ready in four water clocks at the latest."
The detailed list reported by Chen Xuan just happened to cover the inventory of this station.
So there is no need to transfer goods from other stations.
Hearing him say this, Chen Xuan just nodded calmly.
"By the way, I also need a batch of fire element coal that can burn high-temperature flames."
"As for the quantity, about twenty baskets are needed."
"Give me a price list now."
The combustion temperature of fire element coal is much higher than that of coke.
It is often used to increase the temperature in the furnace during smelting.
The amount used is not large.
Because it is rich in fire element magic, only a few pieces are needed to heat up the entire furnace.
"No problem, please wait."
"By the way, this is your dark gold card."
"Just input a trace of magic element on it, and you can form a unique brand mark for you."
Chen Xuan took the transparent and thin card.
It was found that its frame was made of dark gold, but the main body was a slice of some unknown crystal stone.
Through the sunlight, you can vaguely see the track of magic patterns inside the crystal stone.
I don't know why, when I saw this thing, Chen Xuan thought of the chip.
The principle of the magic circle is to engrave magic patterns that can form magic channels on various magic-conducting materials.
It is equivalent to imprinting the spell model in two dimensions on a plane.
When casting a spell, the spell model is initially in a three-dimensional form.
But the moment it is formed, it will suddenly collapse and turn into a spell rune to induce magic.
The magic channels and tracks here are a bit like the transistor circuit in the chip.
He curled his lips and habitually used [Insight] to scan it.
Experience told him that he should be more careful before inputting magic elements.
After confirming that there was no problem with this thing, he input a trace of magic elements.
As his own magic elements were input into the dark gold card in his hand.
The magic pattern tracks in the chip emitted a faint light that could be seen by the naked eye.
It only lasted for a few seconds, and the light dissipated.
Finally, a string of codes exclusive to him was left on the surface of the chip.
Other than that, there was nothing strange.
This is a discount card with a gimmick.
After putting away the card, he saw Reza Tieshi was already leaning over and busy making a shipping list.
Such a big deal can't be done in a short time.
Chen Xuan greeted him.
"Mr. Reza, I'll go around first."
"Don't worry, I will definitely arrive as promised before delivery."
He smiled.
Since he had left 3 million crowns, Reza was not worried that he would stand up.
After all, Chen Xuan paid real money, and they just paid some labor.
So much so that Reza hoped that Chen Xuan would not come back.
As for the idea of playing tricks, he didn't have it.
The Deepwater Valley Mining Merchants Group is not a small shrimp.
The Dark Gold Card itself is also a certificate.
There is no need to provoke trouble.
After the business scale is expanded, cheating and slippery become taboos to ruin reputation.
For the Deepwater Valley Mining Merchants Group, reputation is better than those visible benefits.
After putting away the Dark Gold Card, Chen Xuan turned around and left.
He walked along the inner road of Black Leaf No. 7 Merchant House and headed forward.
Deep Water Valley is not the only one selling minerals and metal materials here.
After Chen Xuan walked around, he found that there were at least six mining merchant groups of similar size to Deep Water Valley.
In addition to minerals, the more popular items in the merchant house are also food, finished weapons and armor, etc.
It can be seen that the merchant house has restrictions on the types of goods sold.
Chen Xuan asked around and found that there are 12 merchant houses in the suburbs of Black Leaf Outpost.
No. 1 to No. 3 are merchant houses specializing in selling agricultural products, including bulk food.
No. 4 to No. 6 are merchant houses selling livestock.
Currently, No. 7 to No. 9 are comprehensive merchant houses, combining minerals, food, weapons, etc.
As for No. 10 to No. 12, the goods sold are all small items.
For example, magic skills, magic scrolls, rune stones, antiques produced in ruins, various fancy books, and weapons and armors with complex sources.
They are mainly scattered sellers, which can be understood as stalls.
Even in these shops, there are organizations that specialize in selling intelligence or labor.
So the three shops No. 10, No. 11, and No. 12 are also jokingly called "Black Leaf Stolen Goods Sales Office".
Unlike the previous shops that deal in bulk commodities, there is no need to worry about being cheated.
After all, the merchants who settle there are basically quite powerful merchant groups.
But when buying and selling at the "Black Leaf Stolen Goods Sales Office", you have to be careful.
But if you are lucky, you may have a chance to pick up bargains.
Chen Xuan ran around several nearby shops and checked the prices.
Then he chose the most substantial grain merchant group and ordered a huge amount of grain and dried meat.
The total cost reached 9.33 million crowns.
If spread out, it is enough for about 200,000 Naroa natives to eat for five Naroa months.
A meal in the city costs 3~5 crowns. In fact, the cost of food per person per meal based on centralized procurement is about 0.8 crowns.
The cost of large-scale centralized procurement and meal sets in restaurants must be different.
Each Naroa day needs to eat four meals, and the total cost is about 9.6 million crowns.
However, Chen Xuan bargained for more than 200,000 crowns.
Even if you have money, you still have to bargain.
After the total price is calculated, he still has to go to Reza Tieshi to make a move.
He can use his portable storage compartment to quickly transfer minerals and metal materials.
Those iron lumps are just heavy, but they don't take up space.
But food is different.
He can't carry such a large amount of food back with his storage compartment.
Fortunately, the [Woye Grain Merchants] he chose has a special delivery service.
Their delivery method is more efficient than the Deepwater Valley Mining Merchants.
There are special deliverymen who will carry 20 large-capacity storage jewelry and ride griffins to deliver goods.
The total value of these storage jewelry alone is 3 to 4 million crowns.
There will be several gold-level strongmen accompanying each time.
If the deliveryman has any accident during the period, Woye Grain Merchants will also compensate.
The payment method is 3:3:4.
That is, 30% of the first payment will be paid to start the shipment, and another 30% will be paid after the first batch arrives, and the payment will be paid after all the goods arrive.
It must be said that Naroa's business system is indeed more mature.
After negotiating the two materials of mineral materials and food, which are crucial to the development of the territory.
Chen Xuan also chose a weapon shop called "Pascal Furnace".
Here, rune weapons of level one to three are mainly sold in bulk.
There are all kinds of them, basically all standard models, which can be assembled on a large scale after centralized procurement.
As for the fourth and fifth levels, there are some, but the number is not large.
And at this level, the unit price of weapons goes up.
If thousands of them are distributed, even Chen Xuan, a local tyrant, will feel the pain.
The key is that the magic element level of the Magtan Garrison is generally at the bronze and silver levels.
Even if high-level rune weapons are distributed, they cannot exert their due power.
So in this regard, it is better to purchase on demand.
Rune weapons are actually not cheap. The difference between them and magic weapons is that they do not have the power of attached elements.
The price of a first-level rune weapon is between 150 and 550 crowns, the price of a second-level rune weapon is between 850 and 1700 crowns, and the price of a third-level rune weapon is roughly between 2300 and 4100 crowns.
If you order in bulk here, it will be about 20% cheaper than the retail price in Bangcheng.
Chen Xuan thought about it and ordered 500 third-level waist crossbows and 200 mithril longbows of the same level.
Although the power is slightly inferior to the third-level military crossbow, at least it is not a controlled item and can be purchased at will.
Then he ordered 1500 second-level steel crossbows and 6000 first-level hand crossbows.
800 second-level bronze longbows and 1000 first-level hardwood longbows were added.
This wave of additions mainly replenished long-range weapons.
Equipment such as swords, spears, swords, halberds and shields within the third level can be forged by the Magtan City Blacksmith Association.
These precision-structured crossbows are time-consuming and labor-intensive to manufacture.
So it is more cost-effective to purchase them directly.
And when fighting a defensive battle, long-range attacks are the main focus.
In the case that it takes time to fully popularize firearms, it is definitely a wise choice to first add some crossbows. (End of this chapter)
