Starting from Zero

Rose is responsible for sending away those who have not bought the city, and I am responsible for those guilds who have bought the city. I took these people to see the cities they bought. The guild leaders were very satisfied. After confirmation, these guild leaders returned to Isengard to sign the final agreement with us.

After signing the agreement, I entertained them in the cafeteria for a meal. The auction time is not short, and everyone's hunger level is almost the same. It happened to be together to eat something to connect with each other. Father once said to me that most of the business is negotiated at the table instead of at the negotiating table. The dining table can bring people closer together, and it is often easier to simplify complicated things at the dining table. Now I am experimenting with this theory in Isinger, and the target is the guild presidents who bought the city.

A meal is nothing special, but I turned it into a battlefield, and all the guilds I participated in after the meal became our friendly guilds. It seems that father's theory really makes sense. When everyone walked out of the cafeteria, a guild president suddenly asked: "Purple Moon president?"

"Well, what are you doing?"

"I saw you when I just came here There seems to be something standing on the corner of the city, it looks like a cannon, did I misread it?"

I asked in confusion: "Where did you see it?"

"I'm...!" The president turned around and couldn't remember which direction he was in. "Which side is Transmission Formation?"

"Over there." Isinger has a lot of Transmission Formation, but I know he was talking about the one next to the auditorium because they came in from there. I pointed in the direction: "over there."

He immediately said: "I know, it should be over there."

"Over there?" I took out the city The leaves of the tree immediately lit up.

"Is there something?" The city tree has sensed the leaves on my side, and the sound from the leaves shocked the people around.

"Someone told me that artillery was found on the southern section of the second city wall. Do you know what happened? Shouldn’t all the artillery be housed in the gun room now? Why are they still on the city wall? "

The city tree replied calmly: "I know this. I raised it. The second city wall south section 36379 had a mechanical failure and it was under emergency repairs. I raised it. Convenient for maintenance. Is there any problem?"

"It's okay, I just ask. By the way, brighten the place where I am, and the street lights here are all off!"

"This is in accordance with your request. In order to save energy, the auxiliary lighting equipment will not be activated at night in a non-combat state."

"A special case tonight, help me turn on the lighting."

< p>"Understand, the power stove is warming up, and the lighting will start after 20 seconds. Is there anything else?"

"Nothing." I put the leaves away, and then said to the president: "You're right, it's a cannon." I suddenly found that no one was listening, they were all looking at what seemed to be waiting on both sides of the road.

I started watching with them and I didn’t know what they were looking at. After 20 seconds, I suddenly understood that they were waiting for the lighting. The sound of the city tree came from the speakers in the city. "Attention to all streets, Isengard lighting equipment is activated. To avoid local overload, please do not activate large equipment for the time being."

Just after the sound ended, the spirit gathering tower in the center of Isengard suddenly glowed green from top to bottom. The rays of light, the whole tower is like a big glow stick exuding the majestic and terrifying rays of light. The guild leaders around made a surprise sound at the same time.

After the start of the Juling Tower, the streets in the city began to light up one by one, and we soon reached our street. First one end of the street was lit up, and then the magic lights were illuminated one by one. The light came over, and the whole street became brightly lit in a flash.

A president came over and asked: "Is your city automated?"

"It's not automatic, but there are NPCs specifically responsible for control."

"How to hire this kind of NPC?"

"Sorry, this NPC is actually a tree. We all call him the tree of the city. As long as he roots and sprouts in the city, the whole city He can control all of his equipment, and I can communicate with him at any time as long as I hold his leaves. But this kind of tree is a rare species, and we don’t have enough by ourselves."

At first, I asked about the cannon. The president ran back again. "Trees are rare species. Cannons can always be produced, right?" The president said earnestly: "We are a small guild, not a large group like yours. Some time ago, a village was established but failed to defend. Let the monster give the peace. Now! Now it’s hard to raise funds to buy a city. Everyone doesn't want any more accidents, so we want to buy some cannons and go back."

He said that the surrounding guilds were all excited. "Yeah! We also want to buy artillery..." Everyone was in a mess, except for the Northern Alliance and those guilds with backstage, most of the guilds asked us to sell them artillery.

"Everyone, be quiet. Be quiet..." I finally suppressed them. "Okay, let's go. Cannons can be sold, but you want me to send away those presidents who don’t buy cannons first?"

Everyone is quiet when I say this, I Hurry up and let them separate by themselves. Those who want to buy cannons stay and wait. If they don't, I will send them to Transmission Formation first. After the guilds that didn’t buy guns were gone, I ran back and took the remaining guild leaders to Isengard’s museum, where all models of our guild’s products were parked.

"Okay, since you want to buy guns, let's talk about artillery. The place where you stand now is the front hall of the museum of our guild. Here are all things that our guild can produce. This is just the entrance hall. The artillery is in the hall on the left. Follow me."

After entering the artillery display area, the rows of cannons are deployed in order. Each gun has a detailed description, and there is also a video of the game during the test firing next to it, which is convenient for everyone to see intuitively. The guild leaders began to drool when they saw these things, and they wanted to cross the railings and touch them.

I have to be born to stop seeing their extreme performance. "President, please stay a little bit behind. The isolation barrier in front of you is made of crystal glass, but it can’t be so crowded!"

"Oh! I’m sorry, I’m sorry!" The president quickly retreated back. .

The exhibition hall is a long strip. The artillery is placed on both sides of the exhibition hall. Some presidents ran all the way to the farthest artillery booth. "Purple Moon, how much does this gun cost?" This is our guild's own showroom, not for selling things, so the description does not include the price.

I took a look, good guys, these people are really good at picking it. The one they are referring to is not only the magic crystal cannon, but also the biggest one. "Don't watch that. Come and take a look at the guns here."

"Why?" Those who know longevity aura said: "Purple Moon President, you are not authentic! We! When you are a friend, but you are blocking it, and you clearly say that selling cannons will not sell the best, what do you mean?"

I was not angry, but smiled and said:" Don’t be angry. I didn’t make it clear. There are many guns here, but the price is very different. The one you looked at is the magic crystal cannon, and it is the largest model of formidable power so far, like the one you bought. In a miniature city, as long as you get 5 shots, the city doesn't exist."

The people over there stick their tongues out. "Is the formidable power so big?"

I walked over there and said, "It's because the formidable power is too big, so the output is not high. And this is a special gun, not a regular weapon. You buy it. Going back is a waste."

The president is still very stubborn. "I just like it. How much do you want?"

"If you insist on buying it, I can't help it. Since you bought our city, I will give you a discount on this gun."

>

The president immediately smiled and said, "Thank you."

I took out an abacus and said while pulling: "The material cost of a giant magic crystal cannon is 30 million crystal coins. , The labor cost is about 15 million crystal coins, the cost of production equipment loss is 5 million crystal coins, the shared cost of technology patents is 30 million crystal coins, and the energy consumption cost during production is about 1 million crystal coins. These are 81 million crystal coins in total. The military material system requires a tax of 50% of the production cost, which is 40.5 million crystal coins. That is to say, if a giant magic crystal cannon is built, we have to bear the cost of 121.5 million crystal coins. Although we have to give you a discount, I It’s impossible to work in vain for you. Our production equipment is also very busy now. To produce cannons for you must stop our plan. You have to bear the loss. The selling price of arms is generally 10 to 20 times the cost price. I only You are doubled, that is, 243 million crystal coins per gun. The magic crystal cannon consumes the energy of the magic crystal when it is fired. You can dig the magic crystal by yourself or buy it with someone else, or you can buy it with me. If it’s you If you buy it with me, I can give you a preferential price. The price sold in system city is 6 million crystal coins per kg. I know an NPC who can get the internal price of 5 million per kg, and charge you 5% of the agency fee, 5.25 million One kilogram of crystal coins are sold to you. This is the lowest price, and I have to get a rebate for that NPC. I can’t get a copper plate myself. It’s just for the sake of everyone’s friends to help you out. Apart from this, I can repair the magic crystal cannon for free in the future, but if you need to replace the parts, you have to pay for it yourself. If you decide to take it, you must first pay a 20% deposit, which is 48.6 million crystal coins, and I will start the factory immediately , It can be done tomorrow, when the time comes, we will deliver it to your door, and you will pay the remaining balance. What do you think?" I turned the abacus and the head disappeared. "Strange! What about people?" I lowered my head and saw the guy lying on the ground foaming at his mouth. "Ah, why did you land on the ground? Isn't it epilepsy?"

In fact, the remarks just now deliberately scared him. The cost of the giant magic crystal cannon is not that high. I let him pay. The deposit is enough to make two cannons, but this super weapon is impossible for me to easily sell, and of course I have to increase it fiercely. It’s good if he doesn’t buy it. If he buys it, I’m not afraid. With his money, I can make another 20 doors. Isn’t it possible that 20 doors will not pay for one? As for technical leaks, don't worry about it. The technology of the magic crystal cannon was developed by me from Dark God Palace, that is to say, it is the technology set by the system, not anyone can imitate it. As for other artillery, there are magic engravings specially made by Vena for me. Who dares Prepare to fly into outer space if you dismantle it.

After I was so frightened, the presidents were really honest. They looked at what I introduced, and they didn't consider the ones I didn't introduce. Take them to see a cannon that we used to produce. "What you see now is the naval gun that we produced before. It is specially installed on the battleship to fight the fortress gun in the port, so the formidable power and range are very good. If you really want to buy a gun, I suggest you buy this. Kind of. Cannons are basically installed on the battleship of our guild. The production equipment of this type of cannon is in a semi-idle state, so it can be produced quickly without squeezing resources." I took out the abacus and drew it again. "Let’s do it. Each gun has 1 million crystal coins and an additional 100 rounds of cannonballs. Can you see it?"

"Can this gun deal with enemy artillery?"

" I'm kidding! This is a naval gun that specializes in fighting fortress guns. Do you think you can fight against enemy guns?"

The other president asked: "What about the shells? How can I buy the 100 rounds? There are also after-sales service, how to calculate maintenance problems?"

"There are many kinds of shells, but you use them on land. Armor-piercing shells are not needed. I recommend you buy two kinds of shells, one It's a high-explosive incendiary bomb, a siege weapon designed to deal with the enemy, and the other is a grenade bomb, designed to deal with ground personnel. The incendiary bomb is slightly more expensive, 30 crystal coins per shot, but it doesn't need much. A city only needs to prepare It’s about thirty or fifty rounds. The price of shrapnel is 20 crystal coins per round, is it cheaper?"

"Well, yes. The shells are very reasonable." A president nodded and said: "I know A guild, they cannot produce cannons, but they can produce shells by themselves. The shells they sell cost more than 70 crystal coins per round, which is much more expensive than yours."

A person asked quietly:" Isn’t it a quality problem that your shells are so cheap?"

"You can rest assured that the quality is absolutely reliable. Our shells are cheap because we have an assembly line for shells, which is fast and consumes less, so the cost is It is low. Low cost is naturally cheaper."

"What about repairs?"

"The artillery itself has mechanical failures, we are responsible for repairs, and we bear the cost, and it is a door-to-door service. If it’s not repaired, I’ll give you a replacement. If it’s damaged by the enemy in any way, it’s your own, and you will pay for all repairs. We only charge the cost of replacement parts, and labor is free, but you are responsible for it. The cannons are sent to us. We don’t care about the repairs!"

"Yes, very reasonable." The president said: "I want 50 cannons. In addition to the cannons, give me 1,000. Fire bombs and 100,000 rounds of grenade bombs."

"I want to...!"

"..."

"Don't worry! one by Come one!"

_________________________________________________________

The array of people is like a madman, desperately grabbing, it's not enough! In the end, I did a calculation. Excluding the cost, these guns and shells made a net profit of 15 million crystal coins. In fact, these are all used cannons. I told them that they were produced overnight. In fact, they were refurbished overnight. These are the cannons that were eliminated from the previous battleship. Anyway, they still occupy space. Than Xiaocai. Although these guns are our obsolete goods, they have not been used for a long time, and they are still very advanced compared with the artillery of other countries, so those guilds will not suffer a loss if they buy them back. I told them that these are new weapons. They can be a little happy. Anyway, this thing is better than the guns of system cities and other guilds. Even if they go back, they can show off that they can't see that they are eliminated.

At night, a large group of workers in the workshop of the Steel City were busy with their feet all over the sky, and our artillery was all stepping up refurbishment. The barrels were re-planed with a metal plane so that they would sparkle. The inside of the gun barrel should be turned over, all with a wire brush, so that some marks will be left in the barrel but not many. When the time comes, tell them that we have tested two shells for each gun in order to ensure the quality before leaving the factory, so there is a little mark in the chamber.

Today is really a bumper harvest. It doesn't count as a dangerous city that sells so many hot potatoes, but also dispose of the obsolete cannons by the way. So Mei just ran to tell me that the urban concentration area used for mixing fame is finished, let me go over and take a look. I am in a good mood now, and I went to visit the 12 satellite cities and the central city. Generally speaking, these cities are all well repaired. The City of Honor has been expanded by nearly half of its area, and it is now almost the same size as Yunxiao City. The city wall was raised to 50 meters and the thickness was thickened to 40 meters. We designed 6 city gates. After all, all 12 canyons are too open.

The mountains outside the City of Honor have been processed into 70-meter-high vertical cliffs, each top of which is a city. In order to prevent the enemy from climbing, Somei asked Fa Sect to mirror the mountain, and then brushed some lubricant we used on the battleship bearings. Now this cliff will slide down even if a fly falls on it. It is said that in order to prevent the enemy from making holes in the mountains, they also made permanent reinforcements to the rocks. These rocks are hard like steel plates. Although very expensive, they are really strong.

In these satellite cities, there are no civil buildings or city walls. They are originally mountain tops. It is meaningless to have a city wall. There is a one by one fort in the city, and there are ammunition depots and a small number of command rooms inside the mountain. This design is to make the best use of the material on the basis of economy, anyway, it is used to replenish the number, and it is a waste of civil construction.

After the tour, we returned to Isengard, but didn't expect someone to be here waiting for me.

"Atlantis the Great Emperor, the white shark patriarch? Why are you here?" It's a bit strange that these two friends of many years appear in Isinger at the same time. "Should you not have any conflicts anymore? Didn't you send someone to help you coordinate during my absence? Did the negotiation fail?"

White Shark patriarch smiled and said: "No, When you were away, Young Lady Bing helped our two races coordinate the negotiations. Our negotiations were very successful. Now our two races have decided to merge the cities together."

"Merge?" This How do two Old Guys like to go to extremes! Some time ago, I was dead and alive, and suddenly I became a biological brother!

Atlantis Great Emperor said: "The main reason is that the city of Atlantis is too badly damaged, and the invasion of the Shemo clan makes us very scared, even if Atlantis is rebuilt , We still can’t hold it.”

White Shark patriarch also said: “We too, last time we barely defended and attacked but lost a large number of people. Sooner or later we will be over, so we want everyone to live together. , The combination of the expertise of the two races should be able to withstand the invasion of the Shemo race."

I said why these two old slippery heads suddenly became biological brothers. After a long time, it was because the enemy was too strong. Had to unite. The two ethnic groups are like two countries. It is said that even if both parties agree, it will take a long time to complete the merger of the countries. They can solve such a complicated matter in a few days because objective conditions force them not to merge. Genocide. Survival is overwhelming at this time, and politicians don't need to talk about it anymore, just merge first, and other things are easy to talk about.

I looked at the two of them and said: "It is a good thing that you plan to merge, at least my assistance is more convenient, and you won't say who I am biased. So what is it that you are looking for me now? Are there any requirements?"

"no no no." Atlantis Great Emperor said: "This time we are here for your benefit."

" For me?" I laughed: "Tell me about it." Patriarch White Shark said: "That's it. Our two races found a place to rebuild the city, and the two races will live together in the future. , But suddenly it was lifted by a powerful force into an island."

"You mean the seabed there rose up?"

"Not the entire seabed, but That part, a very regular figure, suddenly rises like a pillar, completely straight up and down."

"Straight up and down? Wouldn't it be like a skyscraper built on a seabed." Is it?"

White Shark patriarch immediately nodded and said: "Yes, you describe it very aptly. It's like a super building built on seabed, and the top floor is out of the water."

"This kind of place is very suitable as a base." I suddenly remembered. Just now the white shark patriarch said that it was suddenly lifted by a powerful force. Could it be that...? "Have you visited the island?"

The Great Emperor of Atlantis said: "We know you can guess it. Yes, it is indeed a man-made base. The entire island has become In a city, and the periphery is full of ports, our scouts saw a large number of battleships, and the banner of the battleship is a red circle on a white flag."

"Japanese?"

p>

White Shark patriarch said: "I have been in contact with the Japanese before, and they used magic crystal to buy our technology. After the people from the Great Emperor of Atlantis returned to report, I immediately knew that it was Japan. It’s a human base, and there is the guild that we traded with."

"You mean the Black Dragon will?"

"Right."

< p>I thought about it and asked: "Where is that island?"

"It's between you and Japan."

"Isn't that a storm belt?"< /p>

"There is indeed a storm belt, but the island is protected by some force. The Sea Territory, which extends 5 kilometers away from the land part of the island, is calm and tranquil, and the island is also sunny. This area is not at all Affected by the storm, but the weather outside this circle is extremely *bad."

I immediately said: "You follow me."

I took the two of them. When you reach the top of the Ju Ling Tower, here is our resonance crystal launching station. The two of them knew what it was at a glance. I directly connected to Raikawa City, which is lurking in Japan, and a voice from an MM came out. "This is Lei Chuan, what's the matter?"

"I am Purple Moon."

"Oh, the president is fine. Is there anything else?"

"Black Dragon will make an island out of the storm belt, do you know?"

"I haven't heard of it, but I can ask about it."

"That Hurry up."

"Don't worry, we have inserted people in many guilds."

After only five minutes, the MM came back. "President, I asked. It was Black Dragon who did a guild mission some time before the meeting. For this reason, all the members of their guild had almost lost level 10, but the mission was finally completed. The reward for the mission was from the God of Heaven on the sea. Any place for Black Dragon will raise an island, and the shape and location will be chosen by Black Dragon. The Great God Tianzhao will add a magic shield over the island, and any bad natural conditions will not affect the island."

"Okay, I get it, thank you. Tell Xiao Chuan, we are going to build the starting point city soon, so that she is ready to respond."

"Understand."

Cut off the communication and I turned to them and said: "It seems that the matter is clear. The Black Dragon will make such a place in the storm belt, just as a springboard to attack China, we can't let this exist here."

Atlantis Great Emperor said: "You don't have to destroy this place, as long as it is not in the hands of the enemy."

"That's right." Atlantis The Great Emperor is indeed an old slippery head. "Then I will call a fleet to attack here immediately."

Patriarch the white shark is even more slippery: "Their battleship is very much. Although your battleship is of higher quality, even if you eliminate them all, you must at least Lose one third battleship."

"What do you mean?"

White shark patriarch smiled and said: "Our white shark family’s Great White Shark is not for you Are you ready?"

"You mean transporting people to the island for a sneak attack?"

"There is such a large underwater dock, why is it not easy to use it?"

p>

"Well, what you said is right." I nodded: "I will summon the manpower immediately and raid them tomorrow. By the way, can you help?"

The two guys shook their heads together: "We are all beaten up like that, where is there someone to help you!"

I know this is a system limitation. These NPC forces cannot participate in player battles for no reason, but the system will let them Fabricate all kinds of reasons to shirk, and will not directly talk about system restrictions, so that it is more realistic, and will not always think that you are playing games, but will treat it as the real world. Isinger’s NPC guards can’t leave the city is also a system restriction, but Vader is affected by the system just saying that it is dangerous to leave the city, not to mention the system restriction, this is the same.

Since the two seabed races cannot be directly involved in the war, let them help indirectly. "You can't participate in the war, I understand, but other support must be given, right?"

"What support?" Both of them were worried, for fear of my lion's big mouth. This is what they share with me. know.

"Actually, I don’t want any reinforcements from you, just let you help. You can send personnel to help me do preliminary reconnaissance, and then tell me the information. Isn’t it difficult?"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult." Both patriarchs were quickly nodded, and the Great Emperor of Atlantis wiped away his cold sweat.

"I will launch an offensive at noon tomorrow, and you have 10 hours to scout. After the matter is over, I will give you benefits."

"The benefits are unnecessary, as long as you Our relief supplies are delivered on time to help us a lot."

"Well, you guys go quickly."

It's really unimaginable, the Japanese actually set up in the storm zone. If it weren’t for the discovery of an island by the Great Emperor of Atlantis, it would be really a scourge. But don't worry now. Only the enemy hidden in the dark is invincible, because you don't know how to attack him, but now this base is exposed. As long as it is discovered, there will be a day of fall in the fortified city.

In the Japanese maritime base at this time, Masaga Matsumoto is giving a report to a large group of younger brothers. "Tomorrow..." He checked the time. "Oh no, it should be today. It is early morning. We will raid Isengard in the evening. They have just finished the battle, and most of them will be offline tomorrow. We will just assault. There will be people from the mainland tomorrow morning. Reinforce us, and then everyone will set off together this afternoon. This time, I must include Isinger in our map of Greater Japan."

"Sure!" Japanese players all took out a red letter with the words "Sure Win". The headband was tied on the head and then went off the assembly line one after another, to replenish the energy for the night offensive.
