Chapter 390: Inside information on various techniques
In fact, the development momentum of Plague City can only be described as super.
Perhaps compared to those cities with deep-rooted systems, Plague City is just in its infancy, but compared to those player lords who are still struggling to develop in small towns or even small villages, Liu Yifei has already made great strides forward.
Not to mention anything else, the rate at which Plague City earns more than a thousand gold per day is unimaginable to those player lords~
At present, there are only a few people who can recover their investment from the territory and start making a profit~
In most cases, after ordinary players are lucky enough to get a village or town somewhere, they will immediately contact the powerful United Coin players they know or a more formal studio, and then sell the territory to others.
And these people either rely on their substantial financial resources in reality and continue to invest in the construction of the territory by exchanging large amounts of game gold coins, or they work as a team to make money everywhere, and then subsidize the territory for development.
Those who can really make money are probably not something that can be described by the word rare~
At this time, Liu Yifei still felt dissatisfied with earning a fortune a day. This was not to say that he had a big appetite, but that Liu Yifei's comparison target had shifted from player lord to system lord.
In addition, Liu Yifei also knows that although war and armaments are all about money, money does not mean everything~
Just like now, Plague City is only three levels, and it can only recruit third-level undead souls in total, and there is a huge limit on the number. As a result, Liu Yifei can't buy truly powerful combat power even if he has money.
In Liu Yifei's view, the creatures that can truly be called the main force of the ghost tribe must at least start with fourth-level vampires.
But anyway, it is impossible for the lord of Baiyan City to know these things. If he had the opportunity to ask for advice, why didn't Liu Yifei tell him more?
However, Liu Yifei has never tried negotiating with senior lords in exchange for immigrants~
The main reason is that once it has the foundation of a city and a large number of vacant residences and farmhouses, Liu Yifei's Plague City has been able to attract overseas immigrants at a good rate, and it can currently absorb three to four hundred overseas immigrants every week.
Immigrants move into the Plague City, and as long as the speed of building residential buildings is increased, Liu Yifei feels that the absorption speed can be further improved.
Furthermore, the number of Liu Yifei's skeletons is "huge", and there are a large number of farmers who help immigrants join in the labor force, so Liu Yifei has never been short of labor, so he has never thought about exchanging immigrants, let alone other players.
The lord is faced with an embarrassing situation where no one is available~
In order to build their territory, those people had no choice but to send their brothers to do super boring things such as mining resources and building houses.
But the problem is that there is an essential difference between players and game immigrants.
If you ask players to do things that immigrants or mercenaries do, then you have to either pay the other party a salary in reality, or spend a lot of game gold to the other party. Otherwise, the players will not only not criticize you, but also scold you.
After all, you don't do these trivial tasks in a day or two, but you need to do them repeatedly as you build your territory. Even the best friends cannot withstand such repeated orders.
Moreover, everyone has the same online time every day. If you help you do chores for an hour, the other party will lose an hour of leveling time. After widening the level gap with the player group, the other party must be in a bad mood~ In the end,
Even if you pay, you may not be able to get enough people to help you.
If the player lord doesn't want to increase unnecessary huge expenses, that's fine. Just continue to slowly absorb immigrants, ranging from a dozen to thirty or forty a week (small villages and towns can't accommodate too many). Damn it.
If these people slowly develop, I'm afraid that by the time the troops of the big lords are overwhelming, the slower lords won't even be able to build a first-level city wall.
Therefore, today’s player lords all have the same pattern.
If you can't afford it, just sell it and raise a lot of money to continue playing your own RPG mode comfortably. If you can afford it, then thank you and just throw the money away ~ otherwise there will be no productivity.
As for Straci Dolford's mention of completing the lord's mission and then negotiating in exchange for immigrants, it is not that no one noticed it at all, but this is generally a secret recipe for high-end players, which is equivalent to quickly accumulating lord strength.
Of course, no one is stupid enough to announce the shortcut at this time~
"In addition, the role of immigrants is far more than just infrastructure construction. As immigrants work more in the corresponding fields, they are likely to master certain corresponding skills. By then, they will be promoted from ordinary immigrants to
Craftsmen who have mastered production capabilities
The production capacity of craftsmen is more than ten times that of immigrants. After truly possessing production skills, they can also begin to continuously improve their skill levels, and even become locally born skilled craftsmen and masters.
Although as a lord, it still costs money to hire these people to work, but because they are born locally, if they are hired by local lords, the price will be much cheaper, far cheaper than hiring senior craftsmen from other places.
We generally measure the development level of a territory by looking at how many local craftsmen and local masters are born there. The former can show the development potential of the area, while the latter means the approximate strength level of the territory.
"
"Oh no, there are so many twists and turns." After listening to Straci Dolfford's explanation, Liu Yifei was completely shocked~
He was mentally prepared, knowing that the world map lord mode of Heroes of Might and Magic OL would be a very large and complex gameplay, and the construction of territory would not happen overnight, but without previous experience, he could never imagine that,
There are so many things to pay attention to here
Hearing Straci Dolfford talk about local craftsmen, Liu Yifei immediately thought of the two immigrants with bad names at home.
That should be a craftsman-type immigrant with production skills, right? Unfortunately, he was not born locally, but was attracted by Liu Yifei accidentally~
But it doesn't matter. The Plague City has been carrying out huge residential construction work recently. I guess when he goes back, he will have more than a dozen construction craftsmen coming out, right?
There is also a food production group that Guxunwa is responsible for. They should also be able to produce some... ah
Liu Yifei suddenly remembered that he hoped that farmers' mercenaries could increase the efficiency and output of growing food by 10%, so he only arranged for the orphans to lead the farmers' mercenaries to grow food, and did not let the immigrants intervene.
"By the way, respected Lord Strachey Dalford, I would like to ask, if they are peasant mercenaries, responsible for doing things such as planting and breeding, can their labor ability be improved?" Liu Yifei
asked immediately.
"Oh, are you talking about farmers? Those guys can also improve labor efficiency, but not by increasing the amount of labor, but like other mercenaries, through the opportunity to advance in the military, such as becoming a rich farmer or a farmer.
Something like that can improve efficiency, but normal methods won’t work~ Why, you actually have farmers there?”
"Haha, I'm lucky, I accidentally recruited dozens of people." Liu Yifei lied without blushing.
"Well, then I advise you to give up on those guys as soon as possible. Although the initial labor efficiency is indeed much higher, growing up is too troublesome. Just upgrading will not improve the labor efficiency, and it will gradually become professional.
If the number of immigrants exceeds that, we won’t have any competitiveness in the future.”
When Straci Dolfford said this, Liu Yifei understood~
Your own fields should be left to immigrants as much as possible. Although it is a little slow at the beginning, it can cultivate a group of basic immigrants. When these people grow up, they will not be comparable to farmers~
As for the farmers...
Haha~ It's best not to let Liu Yifei know which other player lords around him are very short of labor and happen to be able to transport troops there. Otherwise, Liu Yifei wouldn't mind paying three to five times the price to use the "efficient labor force" of farmers.
Resell it
Well~~~ With a simple decision, Liu Yifei felt that he could find another way to make money for Plague City.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your advice. I'm very grateful."
"Congratulations to the player Lord Ruoyun, for completing the hidden task of talking to the White Rock City Lord "Stracy Dolfford" and asking for advice on territory construction, and gaining an extra Lord knowledge point.
The ‘Lord Knowledge’ system is an undisclosed part of the lord system. The lord system is currently in the preliminary testing stage. The rewards are reserved and will be issued after the system fully opens the lord system.
He performed well during the consultation process with Straci Dolford and gained Straci Dolford's favor, with a favorability score of +10. The current relationship is...neutral to friendly.
Players please keep up the good work and wish you a happy game~"
"Is this old guy like me a spy planted by the ghost clan?"
The system will continue to be updated. This is something that even a fool can think of. Therefore, Liu Yifei was not too surprised when he suddenly heard something like "lord knowledge points" that he had never heard before. The system was not open anyway.
, it is unlikely that you will grasp the news in advance, so it is better to take it one step at a time.
But what really surprised Liu Yifei was the relationship between the lord of White Rock City named Straci Dolfford and his own lover.
Damn~ isn't this guy the city lord of a large human city? It stands to reason that even if the relationship between humans and ghosts is not a "feud", it should still be a "hostile" one, right?
Even if this old guy is more open-minded, it would be nice to be neutral. Is being "friendly" a weird situation?
For a moment, Liu Yifei couldn't help but test whether the other party was a traitor within the human race that Toradre called "pro-ghost clan"~
"Then...respected Lord City Lord, I have one last question, I don't know if it's convenient to ask~" Liu Yifei said hesitantly.
"There's no one else here. If you have anything to ask, just ask. Don't you still want to participate in that weekly auction? It's almost time. If you don't leave, you'll miss it."
As soon as the hidden tasks set by the system were completed, it was obvious that Straci Dolfford was a little impatient. Just now, Liu Yifei wanted to get out of the way, but he held him back. Now it was Liu Yifei who wanted to ask questions. He
But he urged Liu Yifei to take a look and leave. It was really unreasonable...
"It's like this. Since you have guessed the villain's purpose of coming to the human race this time...do you have any tips for the villain's Seyan City and his party?" After thinking for a while, Liu Yifei decided to speak.
Ask directly.
Listening to what Liu Yifei said, Straci Dolfford also frowned slightly. Just when Liu Yifei thought that the other party would not tell him more, he quietly dropped: "Be careful in everything."
, don’t trust others gullibly, especially the regional bishop of Seyan City, Bolt, that guy has always been a two-faced villain..."
After leaving this soft murmur that sounded like he was dreaming, the old man in black robe no longer paid attention to Liu Yifei, but turned around and left the outer area of the library, heading towards the core area of the library~
But after hearing the other party's last words, Liu Yifei was inevitably stunned.
Because, before he came, the name of the contact person King Toradre gave to Liu Yifei was exactly "Bolt - Bishop of Seyan City Area"
On the way to the auction house, Liu Yifei couldn't help but hesitate. Who was telling the truth, Toradre or Straci Dolford?
Of course, Liu Yifei's hesitation does not mean that he is questioning the information Toradre gave him. After all, he has nothing worthy of Toradre's deliberate frame-up~
Although Liu Yifei now holds a holy city of ghosts in his hands, Toradre has become the new king of Solna. The significance of the two of them working together is far greater than Toradre's assassination of Liu Yifei~
And if the old bat really had any evil intentions towards the Holy City, he would not have used such troublesome methods, because even so, Toradre still could not reasonably directly send troops to attack the Plague City.
Otherwise, Liu Yifei would have dared to file a complaint against Longsheng Company, using relevant laws to protect the legitimate rights and interests of players and suing their customer service department and legal department.
There are only two possibilities now. One is that the lord of Baiyan City, whom he did not know before, is actually playing a trick to sow discord. Maybe he is the "loyal minister" who wants to find out the human race's insider, and is just trying to make trouble for Liu Yifei, a rookie.
Just set up a mi soul array to prevent him from acting rashly~
Second, Toradre is either ill-informed and has been abandoned by his former "ally", or the guy named "Bolt" is really a two-faced villain who seems to have taken refuge in ghosts on the surface.
clan, but secretly colluded with the traditional forces of the human race, and then made plans on both sides, just to make the maximum profit...
For now, both possibilities are quite reasonable. Liu Yifei doesn't have any more information, so he can only keep this matter in his mind and wait until later to find out the flaws of the person involved. But right now, he is more concerned about
Or will there be anything good coming out of White Rock City's weekly auction tonight...
On Sunday night, Liu Yifei really saw a lot of good things in the weekly auction list of Baiyan City. To his surprise, there was actually a pair of king-level knight boots that were bought by some prodigal son.
And put it up for auction, and the starting price was not high, only 130,000 gold coins.
Liu Yifei took a quick look and found that these plate armor boots were not a very abnormal product, but they were extremely targeted.
Because these boots are thick and made of solid materials, they are relatively heavy. If you walk in these boots, there will be a small effect of -10% in movement speed.
But since they are "knight boots", they must be paired with mounts to truly play their role~
This pair of boots can increase the player's stability by an additional 50% during riding, making the player less likely to shake, slip, fall off the mount, etc., and the light power attached to them not only adds an additional level of "
The academic knowledge of "riding skills" can also make war horses "stabilize their emotions" and make them less likely to lose control under the stimulation of fierce battles~
And more importantly, these boots can actually increase the power of the reunion by 15%.
This effect is amazing~ In addition, the level of basic equipment at level 50 is not high. At level 59, the power of this king-level boots can be fully unleashed. It happens to be the most popular among human knight players right now.
Hot items
Even if such a treasure is thrown on the World Trade Platform with a price tag of 40,000 United Dollars, people will grab it one by one. When the time comes, a bidding method will be set up to sell it, with a base price of 40,000 United Dollars and no upper limit. Liu Yifei estimates that eventually
The transaction price of 60,000 is normal
Even if the system removes the 15% trade tax across the board, it will still be a huge profit.
Liu Yifei couldn't understand. How could someone be so stupid as to throw such a treasure into a "small place" like weekly auction? And what's more, they were selling game gold coins.
Although the value is as high as 130,000, if it is remitted and converted into United Coins, it will probably be equivalent to 10,000 United Coins.
After this back and forth, the losses were really severe~ Even Liu Yifei, an outsider, felt heartbroken when he thought about it~
It's a pity that Liu Yifei didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to encounter such a good thing before he came. Although he brought money, he was still not full and had nothing to do with running around with more than ten or two hundred thousand gold coins on his back. In the end, this king-level
The knight's boots were auctioned off by an unknown wealthy man for a high price of 210,000, setting the highest price for a single auction in White Rock City tonight.
Regarding this, Liu Yifei could only smile bitterly, thinking that there are so many rich people these days, and they all use United coins as papyrus...
