Chapter 154 Poseidon
Yang Yi was shocked by the cost of building large villages.
There are currently many money-making projects in Ratchet Town, but they also cost a lot. Whether it is purchasing weapons and equipment for fighting murlocs, lumber required for construction, various materials required for training life occupations, etc., a large amount of investment is required. gold.
Ratchet Town currently only has more than a hundred gold coins, and some of them are still reserved for emergencies.
Yang Yi was extremely distressed. At this time, several adventurers came over. They were members of the Knights of the Holy Sword.
The people of the Knights of the Holy Sword discovered that hundreds of fighting murlocs in Ratchet Town suddenly left the town, so they followed them.
A young man walked toward Yang Yi. This man walked inwardly and had a shy smile on his immature face. This man was the leader of the Knights of the Holy Sword.
The leader of the Knights of the Holy Sword has a very funny name in the world of Azeroth, called "A Knight of the Holy Sword".
A Holy Sword Knight was thin and looked stunted. Yang Yi always suspected that this guy was underage.
"Brother, Mayor of the Murloc, are you Ratchettooth Murlocs going to build a new village in the backwater oasis?" the leader of the Knights of the Holy Sword asked Yang Yi with a mean smile on his face.
Yang Yi trembled when he heard the words "brother, fishman mayor".
Yang Yi didn't answer. He looked at the young man who named himself a Holy Sword Knight in confusion.
Like other members of the Knights of the Holy Sword, this man looked like a middle school student. Yang Yi heard that the main members of the Knights of the Holy Sword were just a few middle school classmates in the same class.
"It's like this. If you Ratchet fish people want to build a village here, we, the Knights of the Holy Sword, want to invest some money. When the village is built, we will be given a house." A Knight of the Holy Sword accompanied his face. He smiled, rubbed his hands together, and said cautiously.
"Give you a house?" Yang Yi's mind couldn't turn around for a while. He thought for a while and then suddenly realized.
One of the current problems for adventurers is that there is no place where they can log off safely.
Adventurers have to go online and offline, and their bodies will not disappear after they go offline. It is very dangerous to go offline without ensuring safety, so the leader of the Knights of the Holy Sword thought of asking the Murloc Village Buy a house.
This is not just a house, but more importantly, the house is in the Fishman Village, which provides sufficient security.
"Invest money? If adventurers have money, why not let adventurers invest, so that the backwater oasis can be quickly built. But adventurers are difficult to manage, and they need strong strength to maintain law and order. What should we do?"
Inspired by a Holy Sword Knight, Yang Yi just thought of raising funds from adventurers to build a backwater oasis station, but when he thought about the situation where adventurers were not managed by fishmen, he wanted to give up.
Yang Yi was about to reject a holy sword knight, when his eyes touched the two tauren by the lake in the distance.
Tauren can be considered a peace-loving race in the world of Azeroth, but when faced with two sturdy tauren, the nearby adventurers still kept a distance from them and did not dare to disturb the conversation of the two tauren.
"By the way, we can find a way to bring the tauren in to cooperate. Then we can just let the tauren suppress the troublesome adventurers."
Yang Yi suddenly realized that Ratchet Town had fishmen of various professions. It seemed like a good idea for the adventurers to invest money and then let the tauren send some powerful warriors to maintain law and order.
"The most important thing for the Backwater Oasis for Ratchet Town is that it cannot fall into the hands of forces that are hostile to the murlocs of Ratchet Town. Although the orcs of the tribe focus on glory and keep their promises, they are extremely eager to expand and are too aggressive. Tauren are kind and uphold peace, and Bain Bloodhoof, the son of the tauren chief, also has a good relationship with the murlocs of Ratchet Town.”
"Besides, this backwater oasis was not stolen by the murlocs of Ratchet Town. As long as the murlocs and tauren of Ratchet Town work together to build a base in the backwater oasis, then the orcs who also belong to the tribal camp will not be embarrassed to say anything. Let’s fight hard. The Kokar centaur is the mortal enemy of the tauren, and the tauren can help fight the centaurs.”
The more Yang Yi analyzed it, the more he felt that this idea was a good one. By then, Ratchet Town's access to the interior would be protected, and the orcs would not be able to ask for the backwater oasis from the tauren, and there would also be tauren to resist the Kokar Centaur. There are also adventurers, if they have interests here, they will also protect them.
"Everyone contributes manpower and material resources to the construction of the backwater oasis. Each has its own benefits. If we have money, everyone can make money together. This is really the best of all three."
Yang Yi made a decision. When he came back to his senses, he found that the leader of the Holy Sword Knights, a Holy Sword Knight, was still waiting for his answer with his little eyes blinking.
"Well, how much money do you, the Knights of the Holy Sword, plan to invest?" Yang Yi asked.
"I wonder what scale this village plans to build?"
"Probably we plan to build a large village directly." Yang Yi replied.
"Build a large village directly!?" A holy sword knight was so shocked that his jaw almost collapsed. This was a big deal. "We don't have that much money, so we still need to think about how much to invest."
"Well, you are now on the respected list of our Ratchet fish people, and you are the first one to propose investment. Your investment in the Knights of the Holy Sword will definitely put you in the right place." Yang Yi assured.
"Brother, Fishman Mayor, thank you very much."
A holy sword knight burst into tears of gratitude and tried to rush over to hug the fishman mayor's thigh. Yang Yi quickly waved the person away.
No matter how the fishman village in Deadwater Oasis is to be built in the future, the occupation task of Deadwater Oasis must be completed first.
Fortunately, Yang Yi had asked the old blind man about the occupation of the stronghold before, and he was well prepared before setting off.
Yang Yi found Swat, the captain of the fishman ambushers in Ratchet Town, and asked him to move out the prepared things.
There are more than a dozen flags. The main material of the flags is dyed sky blue silk with dye. A white clam shell shield is painted on it, and behind the shield are two crossed harpoons.
This is the flag representing the thorny fishman.
Yang Yi needs to use the flag of the thorny fishman to plant it everywhere in Deadwater Oasis, and the task of running errands is handed over to the fishman ambusher.
Sure enough, what the old blind man said was right. When the thorny fishman flags were planted everywhere in Deadwater Oasis, Yang Yi heard the sound of the occupation of Deadwater Oasis after a while.
After completing the occupation task of Deadwater Oasis, Yang Yi chose [Architecture Map: Spawning Place (Town Level 1)] as a reward, and then he conducted a lottery.
"【Book-Barkskin】, a druid skill book..."
Where are the druids in Ratchet Town? Yang Yi felt that there was no hope after reading it, so he put the skill book away.
"The task of the scroll is to build the Deadwater Oasis, but what does it take to build the Deadwater Oasis?"
Yang Yi was confused. After thinking about it, he decided not to think about it for the time being. He ran to find the two tauren by the lake.
If you want to attract investment for the new base of the Deadwater Oasis, you must first attract the tauren, so that adventurers will believe and be willing to invest.
Yang Yi came to the two tauren and asked, "Jerrick, how is Bain recently? I haven't seen him for a long time. When you see him, take me to say hello to him."
Jerrick knew that Yang Yi and Bain had a good relationship, so he replied, "Bain is still in his hunting trial. When Jerrick sees Bain, I will bring your greetings to him."
"Thank you, Jerrick." Yang Yi thanked. "By the way, what do you think will happen if the forests and lakes of this Dead Water Oasis are restored to their former appearance and then occupied by those Kolkar Centaurs?"
"We can't let the Kolkar Centaurs occupy it again. They only know how to destroy and ruin." Jerrick said angrily.
"Although the centaurs also believe in the druid doctrine, these centaurs have never shown even a trace of reverence for nature. The centaurs only want to rule nature to realize their personal ambitions." Druid Tunga also spoke up.
The hatred between the centaurs and the tauren has long been deeply engraved in the culture of the tribe. The tauren will not be willing to see the Dead Water Oasis, which has been restored with great efforts, occupied by the centaurs again.
"If we want to prevent the new Dead Water Oasis from being occupied by the centaurs, then we must first establish a strong defensive stronghold in the Dead Water Oasis, so that if the centaurs come again, we can use this stronghold to resist them." Yang Yi said.
After listening to Yang Yi's words, the two tauren nodded silently. This is indeed a solution.
"You fishmen want to build a new base in the Dead Water Oasis?" Jerrick asked.
"No, it's not just us fishmen. Anyone who doesn't want to see the centaurs reoccupy the Dead Water Oasis can come. At that time, we can work together to build a large base, or we can build our own base separately." Yang Yi tentatively proposed. It doesn't matter if each of us builds our own base. At that time, the tauren, as neighbors, can't just stand by and watch.
"However, it is not an easy task to build a base that can resist the centaur army. The defense measures built by the tribal coalition before were not able to withstand the attack of the centaurs." Tujia said.
"That's because the temporary defense measures of the tribal coalition were too simple. I plan to build a large village. The cost of materials alone will cost at least 10,000 gold coins." Yang Yi said.
"Ten thousand gold coins, so much!"
The two minotaurs were very surprised. Minotaurs used to live a nomadic life and didn't like to do business. Therefore, there were basically no wealthy minotaurs. They had never thought that it would cost so much gold coins to build a base.
"Don't worry, I will find a way to build the manpower and physical resources required for construction. You just need to send some minotaurs to help guard it. When the new base is built, you minotaurs will occupy half of it." Yang Yi said.
"Minotaurs will occupy half of the new base?"
The two minotaurs were even more surprised. Sending some minotaurs over would give them half of the base. How could it be so good?
Yang Yi actually thought about it. Minotaurs have never cooperated with the murlocs. At present, except for a few minotaurs such as Bain, Turga and Gaoshan who have a good impression of murlocs, most minotaurs still have a negative impression of murlocs such as low IQ, brutality and xenophobia. These minotaurs are not willing to contact murlocs at all, let alone be neighbors with murlocs.
This time, it is likely that most of the Tauren will try to contact the Murlocs for the first time. They need to be tempted enough to take this step.
The Tauren's banner is crucial for the new base. Whether it is to attract investment from adventurers, resist the attacks of centaurs, or prevent orcs from coming to the Dead Water Oasis, the Tauren's presence is required. If the Tauren's share is too small, the effect will not be good.
After listening to Yang Yi's tempting plan, the two minotaurs did not say much. Soon after, Mu Xiaolan and the others came back, and the male plain lion's claw was handed over to Jerrick.
Jerrick could not make a purification totem with just one claw, so he needed to go to the crossroads.
Jerrick went to the crossroads, and Tujia needed to collect seeds of various plants. Mu Xiaolan and the others followed Tujia to help.
"I hope the minotaurs will be satisfied with the plan for this new base, otherwise we can only build a small village-level base in the Dead Water Oasis, and we don't know whether we can defend it at that time." Yang Yi hoped.
After some observation and thinking, Yang Yi has decided to build a base in the Dead Water Oasis. The only problem now is the scale of the construction. So Yang Yi sent a team of fishmen back to report, and asked Lao Xiayan to arrange for the town's fishmen construction workers to come to the Dead Water Oasis, and asked the fishmen to bring construction materials and food.
After the fishmen builders and building materials were delivered, the first thing to build was the wall and arrow tower. The construction drawings of the wall and arrow tower in the previous village of Ratchet were all non-unique special effect buildings bought by Yang Yi before.
These buildings with only building functions and no system special effects have no level requirements for the construction location, which means that they can be built in any suitable place.
Unlike the construction drawings with system special effects drawn by Yang Yi using the lottery system, those buildings must be built within the scope of villages and towns of the corresponding level to have system special effects. For example, there will be no system special effects if a small village builds a town-level wall, and there will be no system special effects if the location of the shellfish farm exceeds the scope of the Ratchet village and town.
The fishmen builders in Ratchet Town began to invest in intensive construction, and Yang Yi waited for the Minotaur's reply.
Time passed day by day, until the fifth day after the Minotaur Jerick left, a team of fifty Minotaur Kodo Beast Cavalrymen came to the Dead Water Oasis with a rumbling sound.
Yang Yi walked out of the construction site after hearing the dull rumble. He found that the minotaur Bain and Jerick were in the team.
"Bain, I'm glad you can come." Yang Yi said happily.
"My friend, your proposal is irresistible, so I brought the people of the tribe here." Bain said with a smile.
When Yang Yi heard what Ben said, his hanging heart was put down. He knew that the minotaur was going to cooperate with the fishmen in Ratchet Town.
"By the way, have you thought of a new name?" Bain asked suddenly.
"New name?" Yang Yi hesitated for a moment, and then he quickly said: "The new name has been thought of, it's called 'Poseidon', 'Poseidon Ratchet'."
It was a painful thing for Yang Yi to seriously choose a good name. The name of Poseidon Ratchet was actually a casual decision made by him after a brief hesitation.
"Poseidon, Bain remembers it, it will be convenient to call you in the future." Bain said.
"Mullet Poseidon, this name is not bad." Jerick also said.
After Yang Yi told the two minotaurs the new name he had come up with, he started talking about the main topic. He asked, "Have you minotaurs decided to build the Dead Water Oasis with the fishmen in our Ratchet Town?"
"It's decided. The Dead Water Oasis is a good place. Besides, we are very satisfied with the plan you gave us, Poseidon." Bain said.
"Then, happy cooperation." Yang Yi smiled.
"Happy cooperation." Bain also smiled and said, then he took out a large wooden box from the back of the kodo beast and handed it to Yang Yi, "Poseidon, here are some building drawings, including buildings such as city walls and defense towers, which will be used in the construction of the Dead Water Oasis this time."
The minotaurs are not the kind of race that likes to take advantage of others. Bain brought more than a dozen drawings of large villages and small town-level buildings.
"That's great. I just lack the drawings of these buildings." Yang Yi knew Bain's temper, so he didn't hesitate to reach out and take the wooden box.
Yang Yi chatted with the two minotaurs for a few more words and learned that this team of minotaurs and kodo cavalry was only the vanguard, and there was another large group of minotaurs coming towards the Dead Water Oasis.
After learning from Bain Bloodhoof that the minotaurs were willing to cooperate in building the Razortooth Village, Yang Yi immediately prepared to start the investment attraction plan.
"To attract investment, we must first advertise it, so that when more people come, we can have a choice. So far, I have never heard of any natives willing to accept adventurers' investment to build villages and towns together. What's more, there are Bain Bloodhoof and his minotaurs here, so there should be many people who want to join in."
Investing in building a village level 3 base is not a small amount of money. How can the new base benefit those adventurers? How much money can be invested to get how much profit?
"Forget it, there is no need to think about these problems now. Anyway, advertise it first and attract people. When the time comes, those who want to invest will naturally take the initiative to make various requests."
Yang Yi thought for a while and felt a little overwhelmed, but he soon understood. .
