Starting from Zero

After the shadow dancer introduced all the situations, a sailor walked in. "We're here."

The shadow dancer looked at the people strangely: "Where are you?"

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

When the shadow dancer came out from the cabin, he was completely dumbfounded. What was in front of him was not the endless sea, but a huge harbor. Nearly 10,000 battleships of various sizes are neatly arranged in the port. A large number of workers on the dock are busy up and down, and the warehouses are filled with people.

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

Seeing the surprised expression of the shadow dancer, Masaga Matsumoto smiled triumphantly. "This is not land, but an island."

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

Saga Matsumoto proudly said: "This is the land that our great Tenzhao Great God created for us on the sea."

"What?"

"Why? Don't you believe it?" Masaka Matsumoto said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. You can't tell this matter in a word or two. Anyway, you just need to know that this island is between China and Japan. "

"In the middle? Isn't that a storm belt?"

A Japanese man next to Masaka Matsumoto said immediately: "Nonsense. The Chinese battleship runs back and forth all day long, we don’t Putting the island in the storm zone, it was discovered long ago. This is built by our great god, who opened up such an area in the storm zone that is not affected by the storm. We can use this as a forward base to attack Ai in the future. Singh can top secret."

"It's so great!" Renjiu and Matsumoto Masaga unconsciously exclaimed.

Matsumoto Masaga said: "This island is our reward for completing a difficult task. The shape of the island is like a gear. Each depression is a port, so the entire island can be docked in large numbers. The battleship, and these protruding sharp horns are all forts. There are dozens of giant cannons on each fort. Who dares to approach, guarantee that they will come back and forth."

"So you have this Good base, I'm not afraid I can't beat Isinger now."

"Of course, the end of Purple Moon is coming! hahahaha!" All the Japanese laughed.

At this time, Isinger, So Mi is introducing her solution to us. In order to maintain this dominance, we must ensure that the total number of cities is above 20. At present, the guild with the most cities in China outside of us has 17 cities. Although the 17 cities together are less than half the size of Isengard, they are small. A city is also a city!

The tables in the conference hall were moved to the edge of the room, and Su Mi stood on the map to explain to us. "Please pay attention here. This is the city captured by the Iron Crusade. Do you feel anything special?" There is a radial sun, the mountains are the rays of light emitted, and the city is the disc of the sun's main body. Between these mountains are gorges one after another, 12 gorges just sandwiched between 12 mountains.

Rose suddenly asked: "Aren't you thinking about cheating?"

Sumei asked with a smirk: "Why not?"

The eagle is more honest , Do not understand their cheating ideas. "What do you mean by cheating?"

Rose explained: "Watch here. The 12 mountains are radially distributed just to enclose 12 canyons, and we only need to build two in the canyon city ​​wall, the space between these two walls can become a city. Although the city created in this way is very small, it is also regarded as a city, and there is a large city behind it, no matter which side is attacked, Reinforcement is very easy. 12 canyons can create a total of 12 satellite cities, plus the huge barracks behind them, that’s 13 cities. We already have 5 cities, plus 13 are 18, which is just over The guild with the most in the city."

The eagle looked at the map and finally understood the concept of this so-called cheating. Awei measured on the map with his hand and said: "Is this place a little too small?"

Sumei said: "It is not big enough to open the city wall a bit, as long as the satellite city is That city wall should not be close to the outer wall of the central city."

Awei looked at it himself and said, "Even if it is built like this, a city is only 10 square kilometers at most! It’s less than one-eighth of Isinger’s First Layer."

Sumei protested: “Isinger can’t be counted. Isinger has a multi-layer structure, and ordinary cities cannot count it like that. Isinger is the magic capital after all! The entire Isinger’s multi-storey building area totals more than 3,800 square kilometers. How many cities have such a large area?"

"But 10 square kilometers is too small That's it! The miniature city that the Koreans promised to sell us still has more than 30 square kilometers! Even the village is not less than 12 square kilometers!"

I stopped their quarrel. "Just be quiet. In fact, I don't think this problem is very complicated. Small cities do have many problems. The most important problem is waste of personnel, but at present, in order to ensure this dominance, it is better to do it according to Soomi's words."

Sumi immediately said happily: "Purple Moon is still courageous."

"But..." I paused and said, "Small cities cannot build too much area. It’s small, otherwise others will blow up the city with a few cannonballs. The largest caliber cannonball would have a damage area of ​​0.3 square kilometers once it is fired. A few rounds of 10 square kilometers will be finished, absolutely not."

Sumi immediately exclaimed: "Brother Purple Moon! Why are you hitting fifty boards each? What do you mean?"

"Of course the city has to be built, but it can't be stupid. Jian." I said to the NPC next to him: "Open the three-dimensional map." The ground quickly rose, and a translucent three-dimensional map appeared in front of everyone. "Okay, look at these mountains."

"Is there anything wrong with the mountains?" Rose and they looked for a long time and didn't think of what I meant.

"Don't you think these mountains are big?"

"What's the matter?"

Looking at them, they still have an unfathomable mystery expression, I simply All said it. "Since the area of ​​these mountains is larger than the area of ​​the canyon, why do we have to build the city in the canyon? Since it is a satellite city, the main function is to protect the main city behind. What can be better than a city fort? How about protecting the city?"

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

I nodded "These mountains are obviously raised from the earth’s crust. The walls of the mountains are completely straight up and down. Where can you find places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack? Just level the top of the mountain, and then build a city on the top of the mountain. Fill the cannon and don’t leave the exit of the mountain. Just use the teleportation town to get in and out."

"This method is good." Sumei said: "But using Transmission Formation alone is not enough. I suggest this. We made a vertical passage in the mountain to the depth below ground level, and then turned a turn from the underground to connect to the central city. In this vertical well, we can use our anti-gravity device to make a large elevator, up and down It’s more convenient. You can leave the stairs next to the elevator, and you can climb the stairs if there is a problem with the elevator. The elevator and passage are not too big. The elevator only needs to transport 12 fully armed Knights at a time. Almost. So that our people can enter and exit at will, even if the enemy enters the passage, this kind of place cannot be formed, we only need a few people to defend."

"Well, yes, just follow Do what you said. Then the project will be handed over to you." I said to Sumei: "Move fast, we must finish the work before we sell these cities."

Sumei said: "This you Don't worry. Such a small city can be built in a few hours. We have steel claws for the passage. The excavation should be very simple. It is more troublesome to level the top of the mountain, but as long as there are enough manpower, it should be completed soon."

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

"No problem, I won't be polite!" So Mi turned around and ran, looking very motivated.

"Since the city problem has been solved, the next problem is to sell the city. Everyone quickly find a way to send the message through various methods to see who wants to buy the city."

< p>Awei suddenly asked: "What if those guilds find someone to come in and buy those cities by themselves?"

I didn't speak Rose first. "The money we want is not the city, and everyone buys it the same. If they want to spend money to redeem their city, we don't mind."

"Understood."

"It's nothing, everyone as soon as possible!"

After leaving the conference hall, none of the leaders of our guild was idle. But our hard work is very worthwhile, because these labors will soon be exchanged for a lot of money.

We have sent people to all public channels and forums of "Zero" to post information and promotion. Hong Yue also spent 1,000 crystal coins to buy a broadcast opportunity in major cities in the game, and in major cities Both the Transmission Formation and the city gate are filled with our publicity advertisements, as long as online people should basically see these news. In addition to these, the occupied cities are also open to players to visit, so that everyone can evaluate whether they like this city. Anyway, those hostile guilds cannot enter our city within 3 days, and the open city is absolutely safe. I personally posted notices of the transfer of this city in these cities.

Advertising bombing is the same as strategic bombing. The focus is on complete coverage. After our carpet bombing, all guilds in China basically know our city auction. After a day of intense preparation, we finally officially started the auction at 8pm on the second day.

This is the first time Isinger has been open to outsiders, but we still screened and only let people who participate in the auction enter. In the advertisement, we want all people who want to participate to gather outside Yunxiao City Transmission Formation. If there are enough 20 people, someone will send them over through Transmission Formation. After the Transmission Formation, these big buyers were overwhelmed by Isinger's shocking imposing manner, and they kept looking around all the way. The venue for this auction was Isinger’s Great Hall of Ten Thousands. This super hall that could hold 100,000 people without the help of hyperspace stunned everyone almost instantly. The distance from the Transmission Formation to the auditorium shocked them, and they were shocked to enter the auditorium. Most people had never seen such a huge building, and it was built so luxuriously.

The auction officially started at 8pm. During this time, everyone had just finished eating. It was basically when the number of people online was the highest. At this time, the auction was more popular. The auction objects this time are all Chinese guilds, and most of them are small guilds. Only those guilds that do not have a city desperately want a city, especially those guilds that have built a city but have not survived the monster siege, but the old large-scale guilds are also here, including Feng Yin’s misty blood. Union and our old friend Northern Union.

Rose walked up to the podium to quiet the order of the venue, and then said: "Hello everyone, I am the chief financial officer of the Frost Rose League. I will host this auction today. I know that you are here. For those cities, those guilds that did not have cities, and those guilds that built cities but were destroyed by monsters, today your dreams are hopefully realized. Of course, it depends on whether you are willing to pay a reasonable price for your dreams. Okay, let’s not talk too much nonsense. Now we will announce the rules. This auction will be auctioned from small to large according to the area of ​​the city. We will display the location of the city on this screen."

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

"You can also see the three-dimensional model of the city."

A three-dimensional model of the city suddenly appeared on Rose’s head, where you can clearly see the structure of the city. .

"I will explain the characteristics of these cities for everyone, and then give the reserve price. Everyone has a bidder in their hands. You can add 100,000 crystal coins once you press it. If you add more than 100,000 at a time, you will shout loudly. Come out, but please note that the number you shout must be an integer multiple of 100,000. The name of the guild that you press on the bidder will be displayed on this screen for everyone to pay attention to. Okay, here is the first auction city."< /p>

A red dot suddenly appeared on the map on the screen behind

, and Rose pointed at that dot with a long pointer. "This is the location of the city, and the picture above my head is its three-dimensional structure. The level of this city is a village, with an area of ​​15 square kilometers. There are so many leveling areas around the city..." Rose said after Datong introduced : "Okay, this is the situation in the city. The city has a reserve price of 500,000 crystal coins and starts bidding."

"2 million." These people are crazy enough. They charge 4 times the price as soon as they come up.

"..."

"5 million."

"..."

"8 million."

"8 million once, 8 million twice, and 8 million three times. Okay, this city is obtained by the local tyrant alliance. Please deposit funds into the account designated by the system, and 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 8 million crystal coins. I thought that this kind of small village could sell for 2 million crystal coins. t expect is 800 腽肭, what percentage is this profit?

The second city’s bidding was even crazier, and finally sold for 9 million crystal coins. The next city was more expensive than one. The 67 villages sold a total of 730 million crystal coins. I feel my heart is about to jump out.

The bidding for micro-cities is not as fierce as the villages, with an average of only about 17 million per city, and 23 micro-cities sold a total of 391 million crystal coins.

In small cities, there are even fewer asking prices. In the end, an average of 21 million crystal coins was sold in 30 cities, and a total of 630 million crystal coins were sold.

Medium-sized cities have belonged to larger cities from the beginning, and the big guilds were all shots. Don't think that the big guilds will have the money to act generously. In fact, these guilds are the ones who really stingy. Small guilds are often people who want to have fun. They don’t care about spending money, but big guilds have to plan carefully. The first medium-sized city was sold for 30 million crystal coins, and no one added the price as soon as it was called. A total of 990 million crystal coins were sold in 33 medium-sized cities.

We have a total of 11 large cities, but we have to remove the city that is going to be used to build a city network, and only 10 cities actually participated in the auction. This time we set a reserve price of 15 million. Those big guilds were quietly suppressing prices. As a result, we were surprised. The price of large cities turned out to be 31 million crystal coins, which is only 1 million more crystals than medium-sized cities. Coin, it's a failure! In the end, these 10 big cities were sold for 310 million crystal coins, and I felt a little bit at a loss!

Finally, there is a super city left, the Sun City of the Bright Alliance. This super city is the third largest city in China, except for Isengard and Gangcheng, which is the largest. The temptation of this super city is very big for those large guilds, and Rose has just called out the reserve price of 2 million, and someone immediately responded.

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

"80 million crystal coins." The people of the Northern Alliance have been silent since the beginning, and now they finally broke out.

"100 million." Feng Yin Miomiao also called out, but I promised him that as long as he buys the city, he will be able to reduce the actual payment by 20%.

"150 million."

"180 million."

"230 million."

< p>"300 million!" Feng Yin Miaomiao actually confronted the people of the Northern Alliance, not letting anyone else.

The people of the Northern Alliance clenched the teeth: "400 million!"

"410 million." Feng Yin Miaomiao seemed not to give up.

"4101 million."

"4102 million."

"4103 One hundred thousand."

"..."

The two sides even started rogue tactics, and other guilds did not dare to interject. The significance of this super city is indeed very important, but everyone knows that this thing is worth less than 400 million crystal coins, and the two guilds are completely competing. Hong Yue was standing next to me trying to shout Feng Yin Misty and it was difficult to shout, her position was not very sure.

The bidding continued until 600 million, and finally no one shouted. The popularity of the Northern Alliance looked like a bull at Feng Yin's misty eyes, and his eyes were full of arrogance, but they all looked at them. A fool's eyes, a super city is worth less than 600 million crystal coins!

The cities are all sold anyway, and all the cities are selling well except for the large cities that have failed. All cities have a total income of 3.651 billion crystal coins. The system automatically deducts 20% of the tax. As a result, we got 2.9208 billion crystal coins, which is also a big deal. No wonder people say that real estate makes money, and it is now confirmed that real estate is indeed a lucrative industry. In order to obtain these cities, I spent a total of 117.85 million crystal coins to recycle 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 26.0295. Billion crystal coins. But this is already quite impressive.

We have completed the auction on the city side, and the urban construction on the Sumei side has also been completed simultaneously. The construction of the 12 satellite cities is very fast. The central city is already complete. Just heighten the city wall and repair the damaged buildings in the city. We named this new city the City of Honor, because it was built so that we can keep our dominance, so it is called the City of Honor. If it is not realistic to name the 12 cities outside the city, we simply numbered them. The one just north of the City of Honor is Honor No. 1, and then Honor No. 2 to No. 12 in clockwise order. In the future, this will be our boot camp. New players will move to this training camp in the future. Only after they pass will they be sent to cities that need to increase their manpower.

We are much easier to deal with these cities at hand. On the one hand, because we have more sufficient funds, on the other hand, because we don’t have to worry about those cities being attacked and we have no time to defend.
