Whenever there is a major breakthrough in technology, the first change it brings is a substantial reduction in costs.
With the [Magic Smart Workshop], it is natural to vigorously promote it, but with just one machine, the efficiency is still too low. It will take until the year of the monkey and the horse to complete the universal replacement.
Expand the workshop and integrate ten, hundreds, or thousands of units to form an automated, intelligent, assembly line, and batch manufacturing workshop.
But this involves a huge amount of materials.
Where does it come from?
The material self-sufficiency rate within the coverage area of the Magic Network is less than 5%, and they are still low-level materials. Bei Gaoyang asked Xiao Ai to increase the system purchase price of these materials, not double or triple, but ten times. Anyway,
Now that the "liquidity" tension has appeared again, another big water injection is simply coming.
The high prices and exaggerated copper coin exchange rate actually hurt the game's economy. Players became stingy, stingy, and relied on the system for everything, causing unnecessary resource loss. This time it was solved incidentally.
Even if the system purchase price is increased by more than 10 times, the remaining 95% of the materials are still not available. These are not one or two kinds, but hundreds of thousands of kinds, and the quantity is still huge.
Therefore, we can only rely on the abyss.
The demons' accumulation of thousands of years, just a little bit exposed from the gaps between their fingers, is enough to feed themselves.
But it's not easy to pluck the devil's wool.
In less than half a day, Bei Gaoyang used all the remaining materials to make six magic cores. He had already assembled two sets of other parts, and it took more than two hours to complete the assembly of the two war golems.
Summon Baan, open the gate of the abyss, and swing the two demons there.
"This kind of progress..." After taking away the golem, Barn really had doubts about the speed of delivery.
Bei Gaoyang started to lie, "You're so impatient, I used the Book of Canaan to improve the production process, but there is a small problem."
"I guess this little question is the main reason why you summoned me today, right?"
"Uh... you guessed it right. To put it simply, the cost has increased several times, but there is nothing we can do about it..."
"So, there are not enough materials, right?"
"Haha...the cost will be reduced in the future, I promise!"
"Tell me, with this speed of delivery, how much does it cost to produce a golem?"
Bei Gaoyang shamelessly reported a number.
Even Baan was shocked by the wide opening of his lion's mouth. He didn't speak for a while, but stared at him strangely with two eyes like magma.
"What?", he felt a little guilty.
"I thought you changed your job and became a vampire..."
Bei Gaoyang pretended not to understand the irony and insisted on this number without wavering.
"Damn it, don't challenge my patience!" Baan was angry.
"Maybe I can find someone else to make a deal, you know!" Bei Gaoyang said threateningly.
Baan shook his huge goat head, his lava-like eyes flashed several times, and finally said: "Wait!", and then retreated into the abyss gate, presumably to discuss with the boss behind him.
The door of the abyss closed, and Bei Gaoyang lost the confidence he had just now. Such an offer was too exaggerated. If he angered the demon lord behind Baan, although he was not afraid, he would still be in trouble.
Apart from anything else, as long as his whereabouts are revealed... Sigh, am I too greedy? The ten-fold quotation is based on the price that has been increased several times during the war...
After waiting for a long time, Abyss got a reply.
“Get a bigger place!”
This time Baan did not come over, and only vented his dissatisfaction with a thunderous roar. Bei Gaoyang was overjoyed, but then he remembered that there was no suitable storage place.
The more precious the material, the more stringent the preservation method. It cannot be used by digging a cave or clearing out a house. He quickly asked Xiao Ai to use system resources at all costs to seal off the city lord's palace in Buck City.
The door of the abyss opened, and countless slave warriors, little demons, and low-level demons walked out carrying large boxes and small boxes. The city lord's palace had been divided into grid-like spaces by the magic network, just like a huge beehive.
These precious materials are preserved by cutting the space and sealing it completely.
The transfer lasted a whole day.
"When will the 20 War Golems be delivered?" Baan didn't even show his face.
This time, the high-level demon was greatly offended.
But that’s not necessarily true. Everyone knows how cunning the devil is. Maybe he did this on purpose to numb himself?
"A month?"
In fact, it can be delivered within a week, and it is mainly the dwarf craftsmen who are delaying the delivery. However, if they are all transferred to system blacksmiths and have the blessing of the magic network, the efficiency should be improved.
"Ten days at most, 10 days, I will see 20 golems in 10 days!"
"Can……"
When the gate of the abyss closed, the whole castle trembled. All demons, big and small, walked away, and the remaining light of the summoning circle dimmed after continuing to shine brightly.
Bei Gaoyang looked at the filled City Lord's Mansion, first stunned, and then laughed.
“I don’t know what the price will be for robbing the abyss.”
"No matter what, if the magic network doesn't grow, everything is in vain!"
Without the magic net, he would not have gone so far. He is now racing against time. His whereabouts cannot be hidden for long anyway, and he is not afraid of Barn's mischief.
Go for it, damn it!
"Xiao Ai, make an announcement"
"Will it take time to build the factory?"
“Let’s launch the trial version first.”
Bei Gaoyang is not willing to wait for a moment when it comes to reducing power consumption and improving system profitability.
"That's fine... the players are about to rebel."
"rebel?"
"See for yourself!"
Most of the players gathered in the safe area of the Kobold Mine Dungeon. The system shops were blocked, and everything was blocked inside and outside. The players did not go on missions, spawn monsters, or move bricks. They were all shouting.
Dog planning, GM comes out to give an explanation.
"What's wrong with this!?"
I have been too busy these days, working in demiplanes, magic workshops, war golems, and blackmailing the abyss. I have become a bit out of touch with the masses. I can't help but be a little surprised to see such a "rebellious" scene unexpectedly.
"The task of changing jobs is still too difficult for most people. The appearance of new players has aggravated their anxiety... Haha, this is what humans often say, not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality, right?"
"Alas, you can even use such allusions..."
"My database is very complete..."
"Okay, let's make an announcement now. The game team has heard the players' calls. The job transfer task is too difficult. We are now launching the [Equipment Refining] trial version patch. We will stop the service and update it to make them all go offline.
