Chapter 181 The Grand Duke
Although he has a net worth of hundreds of millions, Zhang Yuan still never thought that someone would spend tens of millions of dollars just to add a little bit of his attributes.
Hundreds of attributes, spending tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, there are actually people willing to do this kind of thing.
"sharp."
In response, Zhang Yuan could only give a thumbs up, and after praising him, he closed the post directly.
No way, it still hurts to see rich people squandering their money.
After becoming a noble, Zhang Yuan can unlock a certain mysterious area in the main city.
This area was previously inaccessible to players, but now, a brand new area has been unlocked.
Noble district.
Next door to the garden area, the environment is extremely beautiful.
When you ride your mount to the noble area, you can see extremely elite soldier handles at the door, all of them are level 60 elite soldiers.
With his status as a Lord, Zhang Yuan would not be blocked by them and entered directly, where he found an NPC named Cabinet Minister Nori.
After talking to him, players can purchase a manor of their own here.
As the noble level increases, the manor can become larger and have more content and functions.
Of course, the so-called manor cannot actually be built in a certain area in the main city.
It's just a small copy.
Players can enter their manor by talking to Cabinet Minister Nori.
Of course, if you don't want to talk to the NPC, you can also enter from a beautifully decorated villa on the right side of the gate into the noble area.
That is a dungeon entrance. As long as you purchase the manor, you can directly enter your own manor from there.
Players need to purchase manors according to their individual noble levels. Of course, if they have no money, they can use a dilapidated hut given by the knight's attendant.
It's free.
Of course, many functions cannot be turned on, and there are no special views.
Zhang Yuan took a look and found that all the Lord could buy was a small villa, and many functions could not be realized.
According to the prince player on the forum, after becoming a duke, you will get many and great benefits.
Zhang Yuan felt a little anxious inside.
Yes, he wanted to upgrade his aristocratic status and buy the most expensive ducal mansion.
The set sold for 20,000 gold coins.
Because after buying this set, a whole new world has arrived.
If you have an impulse in your heart, then naturally there is no need to hesitate.
In the end, Zhang Yuan spent 6 million gold coins and became a one-star Duke.
Later, he also received a new title - Grand Duke.
From then on, when he talks to NPCs, he will get a new respectful title, Your Excellency the Grand Duke.
No longer will you be like a player, calling you by name and asking you to do whatever you want.
Unfortunately, this is just a title issue, and the rewards are still the same as before, without any change.
After being called Duke, Zhang Yuan actually had some regrets in his heart. After all, it was a bit of a trap to get a virtual game identity after throwing millions of money into it.
However, he can also feel that having such an identity and the enhanced attributes brought by such an identity is also a very good experience for him.
It's just less than 10 million yuan, which is not a big problem for Zhang Yuan at this moment.
It's just a matter of spending a few more days making some ice resistance gems to sell.
After buying the Duke's Mansion, Zhang Yuan chose to enter.
“What a beautiful house.”
Zhang Yuan arrived on a lawn in an instant. In front of him was a magnificent castle-style villa, and behind him was a quiet and peaceful garden.
Zhang Yuan took a look at his manor system and found that there were many requirements on it.
"This is... hiring servants and gardeners to take care of the manor?"
Zhang Yuan was a little surprised, "We still need to hire a certain number of guards to prevent the manor from being stolen by thieves... Is there such a thing?"
But he took a look and found that the hiring price didn't seem very expensive.
Servants and gardeners can be hired for 10 gold coins each. Guards are slightly more expensive and can be hired for 20 gold coins.
The word "employment" is used because they must pay an equal amount of gold coins every month, otherwise they will leave on their own.
Zhang Yuan collected all these, but it was only 2,000 gold coins.
Subsequently, a large number of NPCs began to appear, enter the manor, and start their work.
When they passed by Zhang Yuan, they would kneel on the ground to say hello, and only left after saying a series of compliments.
This method can indeed bring a great sense of vanity to people, and the game officials probably hope to use this method to allow wealthy players to continue to spend money.
"This method is definitely very good for recycling gold coins, and the price probably won't be much lower."
Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly, ignored the NPCs who kept greeting him, and walked into the villa.
Here, new features are also presented.
In the manor system, players can activate some unique functions after acquiring the manor.
"Alchemy workshop, blacksmithing workshop, enchanting workshop, leather workshop, tailoring workshop, gem workshop."
"Stables, lucky fountain, kitchen, cloakroom, warehouse."
Zhang Yuan was dazzled by what he saw, and a large number of functions required his attention.
First, there are the six major workshops.
The workshop is a unique manor system where players can assign attendants with corresponding professions to work in it.
Its main functions are - making items, developing drawings, and innovating.
Taking the alchemy workshop as an example, making items means making various potions and potions.
As long as the player piles up enough alchemy materials, the alchemy workshop can make it themselves, avoiding the pain of hard work for the player.
"It's a pity. If it were in the past, this function would have been the best."
Zhang Yuan sighed a little. Now the gems in the mall can be purchased at level 4. He no longer needs to work hard to synthesize them from level 1.
If there was a workshop at that time, I could just throw it here and synthesize it, and I wouldn't have to worry about it at all.
However, these may still be useful in the future.
The second function is to develop drawings.
This function is relatively simple - given a certain amount of research funds and a certain amount of time, the workshop may develop brand new drawings.
Some of them are good and some are bad, the specific situation needs to be seen by the players themselves.
The third function is to introduce the new from the old.
This function is somewhat similar to the second function.
Similarly, given a certain amount of research and a certain amount of time, the workshop can be strengthened based on the original drawings and play a more powerful or unique role.
Simply put, make enhanced potions and potions.
"Sure enough, that guy is right. There are indeed many benefits after becoming a duke."
A smile appeared on Zhang Yuan's lips, and the heartache he felt because of investing a large amount of gold coins to be promoted to a peerage quickly disappeared.
