Chapter 3 Crowdfunding? Middlemen make the difference!
Tang Jing's excitement did not last long.
When he led the three Tu Hong brothers out of the Wilderness Temple, he saw that all the open spaces within the territory were filled with wood and stone.
Not even a road was left.
Even outside the protective cover, there are a lot of wood and stone piled up.
"Damn it!"
Only then did Tang Jing realize that he had just done a stupid thing.
In "Star Bound", players do not have private storage space. After receiving materials sent by mail, the system defaults to depositing them into the designated warehouse.
If there is no warehouse, it will be stored in the nearby open space.
Tang Jing's shelter naturally did not build a warehouse, and because it received too many supplies at once, it created the current embarrassing situation of "difficulty moving".
It's better now.
Let alone hunting, it was difficult to even enter the shelter to get food.
But it doesn't seem to work if you don't pick it up, because once the mail sending supplies is not picked up for more than 24 hours, it will be returned to the sender.
Having too many supplies is also a worry.
The three Tu Hong brothers also looked at each other in confusion. My master is so awesome. He could collect so much wood and stone by himself. How did he do it?
He is truly a man of God!
"Tu Hong (Tu Gang, Tu Qiang) loyalty +5!"
"Eh???"
After receiving the prompt, Tang Jing looked confused. What did he do?
Why has loyalty increased?
"Do I really have the talent to be a lord and have the aura of a king?"
After thinking about it, Tang Jing began to deal with the crisis at hand. The first step, of course, was to upgrade the shelter.
Although the supplies consumed are only a drop in the bucket.
With the blessing of double the light of the national war, the construction speed of the shelter has increased by 50%. It originally took 24 hours, but now it only takes 16 hours to complete the upgrade.
Expected to be around six in the morning.
Follow Tang Jing to open the [Mall] interface, which is divided into two major sections: market and store.
The market is for players to trade freely.
Due to the lack of currency for circulation, the current market is full of barter transactions such as "5 units of wood for 4 units of stone" and "5 units of stone for 8 units of wood."
The store is the system store, selling some rare props.
Tang Jing quickly set his sights on the target and reluctantly spent a huge sum of fifty gold coins to buy a resource bag.
[Resource Bag: Can store a total of one million units of basic materials]
[Resource bags can only be used within the territory]
The storage function of the resource bag can be said to be very powerful, but it is also limited, eliminating the possibility of serving as a "hanger" for transporting grain and grass supplies.
Get the resource bag and recycle all the wood and stone in the open space.
Only then did the situation come to an end.
The three Tu Hong brothers went out hunting as originally planned.
Tang Jing returned to the shelter, still thinking about what to do with the basic supplies in his hands.
It definitely cannot be sold.
After all, it was given by people from my hometown, so it is too sensitive.
Even if it is said that the market sales can be anonymous, it is easy to be guessed for such a large-scale sale.
I can't hide it even if I want to.
Besides, the current market is all about bartering, so you can’t sell it even if you want to.
"Rotten" in your hands may be an option, but it is also the least cost-effective option. Not to mention wood, stone will depreciate more and more, and the key is that it will not generate interest.
If you want to use up this batch of supplies through territorial construction, I'm afraid it will take years of the monkey and horses.
"It can't be sold, and it's hard to keep, so we can only give it away."
In fact, at least in the early days, basic materials such as wood and stone were still in very short supply for most lords, except for those celebrities who had successfully prostituted themselves for free.
The sooner you gather them together, the sooner you can upgrade your shelter.
This gives you an extra chance of survival before the three-day protection period ends.
The materials in Tang Jing's hands are enough to support two thousand new lords and help them upgrade their shelters in advance. At the same time, they are also improving the overall strength of the lords of Zunlong Kingdom in disguise.
But what does Tang Jing himself want?
Such an act of the Holy Mother will certainly be appreciated by some people, but it will certainly also be criticized.
After all, Tang Jing's supplies were donated by everyone.
It's very hot in itself.
Of course, Tang Jing also had a plan. He first added all the hundreds of thousands of friends he had just added into a temporary chat group, and then issued a group announcement, which roughly means——
Thanks to everyone's donations, the materials received have far exceeded the current needs for territory construction. For this reason, we are willing to take out the excess materials and transfer them to those who are in need.
for common progress.
The specific operation is to draw a thousand lucky people from the group, and each person will receive a basic resource gift package of 100 units of wood + 100 units of stone.
Tang Jing "honestly" took down more than half of the supplies and was not stupid enough to give away all the remaining supplies.
It will be used later.
And his proposal was enthusiastically welcomed by everyone.
"Hey, our hero lord is finally here, welcome!!!"
"A lottery? I like it!"
"It's interesting. Boss Tang Jing's operation is a bit like crowdfunding. If you give a unit of basic materials to the boss, you will have a chance to win a big gift package. You can have this!"
"It feels like buying a lottery ticket..."
"I hope to win a big prize and collect the upgrade materials as soon as possible. Cutting down trees is very hard."
"Boss Tang Jing is well done and not greedy!"
It is strange to say that those who donated supplies to Tang Jing were basically ordinary people. On the contrary, it was the celebrities, entrepreneurs, and Internet celebrities who had no shortage of supplies, and they paid little attention to them.
I guess they are busy planning their development plans.
As a general public, they are willing to donate materials to Tang Jing even though they have not yet collected their own materials. This shows that they are all kind-hearted and righteous people.
Every time you are righteous, you will kill many dogs.
This is also the main reason why Tang Jing did not engage in this activity on the national channel, but limited the scope to his circle of friends, in order to take the opportunity to consolidate his friendship with these like-minded people.
Those who enjoy the blessing of the national war with peace of mind and do not speak out or donate.
Basically they are all white prostitutes.
Although he does not donate, but he can applaud Tang Jing on the national channel, he can be classified as a casual fan.
Hundreds of thousands of friends are true love.
Maintaining the friendship with these people and improving their strength in a "borrowing flowers to offer Buddha" style is definitely a long-term positive investment for Tang Jing.
Relying on disorderly donations is not a long-term solution.
If Tang Jing wants to take root in the Aztec Alliance and not be overwhelmed by the sea of Aztecs, he will need more than just wood, stone, grain, ore, weapons and equipment, and even troops in the future.
What doesn't require support from home?
If he only accepted it passively, it is likely that Tang Jing needed food and grass, but most of the donations were wood.
Eating without vomiting can be satisfying for a while, but if it can be done through crowdfunding, like playing lottery, Tang Jing, the "hero lord", will be the banker and earn a little difference in price.
Then in the future, you can have whatever you really want.
Rather than a one-and-done deal.
"Sustainable development is the way to go!"
After selecting one thousand lucky people and sending the supplies, Tang Jing naturally marked these one thousand people as "special attention" in his friend list.
These are all potential allies in the future.
………
After doing all this, Tang Jing took out the career scroll compensated by the previous system.
"use!"
"Congratulations on successfully taking up the legendary profession - Forbidden Mage!"
[Forbidden Mage: A taboo existence in the mage world, which can continuously improve the skill level]
"That's it?"
Tang Jing was confused at first.
After understanding the situation in detail, I realized how powerful the forbidden mage was.
"Star Bound" has many restrictions on professionals. Except for status professions such as "civilians and lords", players can only work in one profession, and there are no main or secondary professions.
Even combat professions and life professions are not compatible with each other.
You can only choose one of the two.
In addition to professional restrictions, there are also strict restrictions on the skill slots of each profession. For example, the mage profession only opens two skill slots every 10 levels.
This makes every skill very important and must not be wasted.
The mage's spell skills are divided into five levels: primary, intermediate, advanced, super and forbidden spell. In principle, the spell of which level is always that level.
The forbidden mage can upgrade basic spells to intermediate spells.
Even more outrageous!
This is tantamount to directly subverting the order of the mage world. No wonder it is regarded as a taboo existence.
Isn’t that just cheating?
"good!"
Tang Jing was very satisfied with the system's generosity and finally did not fool him.
The system is arrogant and arrogant, and it still handles things quite authentically.
