Chapter 4 Black-hearted profiteers

Chapter 4 Black-hearted profiteer

Author: Shengxiao Swordsman

Chapter 4 Black-hearted profiteer

After successfully becoming a forbidden mage, Tang Jing can learn two basic spells for free.

Learning spells after that will cost money.

There are a wide variety of primary spells, including attack, defense, auxiliary, treatment, and all kinds of weird special spells.

There are no restrictions on the selection of skills for mages, and they can be combined freely.

If Tang Jing is not a lord, but an adventurer, or if there is no wild temple in his territory, then he will most likely choose the combination of attack + defense and become a fort mage.

The situation is of course different now.

With the Savage Warrior at the front, his best choice is to become an auxiliary wet nurse.

Gou, is the kingly way.

Without much hesitation, Tang Jing designated the two primary spells as Ice Arrow + Blessing.

[Ice Arrow: Shoot an ice arrow at the target, causing freezing damage to it]

[Blessing: Slowly restore the target’s vitality]

Although Ice Arrow is an attack spell, it has its own freezing effect and can also be regarded as a control spell. Compared with the fireball spell, which is purely a damage route, it is obviously more suitable for Tang Jing's needs.

Needless to say, blessing is an essential skill in the early stages of healing.

[Name]: Tang Jing (First Baron)

[Occupation]: Trainee Lord Level 1 (0/100), Forbidden Mage Level 1 (0/100)

[Mana]: 100 points

[Attributes]: Strength 5, Agility 5, Endurance 5, Spirit 5

[Professional Skills]: Ice Arrow LV1 (0/100), Blessing LV1 (0/100)

[Using skills will gain proficiency, which can be used to upgrade skills]

[Basic Skills]: Fighting, Collection

[Comprehensive combat power]: Level 1

[Evaluation: Even if you become a forbidden mage, you are still a rookie among rookies]

In addition to the two basic spells, after successfully becoming a forbidden mage, Tang Jing also "awakened" the general talent skill of the mage system - mana recovery.

Finally, I had some power to protect myself.

Compared with colleagues who are still using hatchets to protect themselves, they are a long way ahead.

But this lead is only temporary.

Tang Jing could still keep his head clear, knowing that there was not much time left for him to accumulate trump cards. When it entered the village stage, the environment that the territory would face would be a hundred times worse than in Zunlong Kingdom.

Even a thousand times, ten thousand times.

………

Towards evening, Tu Hong and the others returned from hunting.

The results were fruitful.

A total of three wild wolves and two wild boars were hunted.

Seeing Tu Hong and Tu Gang carrying a wild boar carcass weighing more than two hundred kilograms on their backs, but still walking lightly, Tang Jing's brows jumped, and he had a more realistic understanding of the strength of the Chiyou warriors.

He is indeed a strong man descended from heaven.

"Sir, the wild animals on the edge of the territory have almost been cleared away. However, there are indeed many wild beasts in the wilderness, and we can't rule out the possibility that there will be more coming in the future." Tu Hong put down the wild boar carcass and reported the situation to Tang Jing immediately.

It shows that he is not only brave, but also smart.

"good!"

Tang Jing realized that the barbaric war tribes summoned by the Barbarian Temple should also have their own civilization inheritance, which was fundamentally different from the primitive tribes they initially understood.

For example, Tu Hong spoke and behaved appropriately, and acted calmly, with the air of a general.

"You make a fire, I'll take care of the body, and we'll have barbecue in the evening. It's a simple meal." The shelter doesn't even have a stove, so it's not easy to think about it.

This is already considered pretty good.

Most of the lords will probably have no choice but to take cold water and eat cornbread tonight.

"I'll come, I'll come, I'm already hungry!"

Tu Qiang, the youngest of the three brothers and the most out-of-the-box, immediately moved stones from the foot of the wall and built a simple fire pit in the open space in front of the house.

He also brought in wood, grabbed a handful of hay, took out flint, and started to light a fire.

The other side.

Tang Jing used his collecting skills on wild wolves and wild boar carcasses.

"Wolf Meat +1"

"Wolf Bones +1"

"Wolfskin +1"

“Pork +1”



The five corpses were quickly decomposed, leaving broken bones, dirty blood and residue on the ground.

Night falls.

Four people gathered around the campfire, grilling meat and chatting.

It can be seen that the three Tu Hong brothers are still very reserved, and Tang Jing is actually not much better. Although he is not a social fear, he definitely cannot be called a social cow.

I have only entered "Star Bound" for a day, and it is even more impossible to adapt to the status of a lord all at once.

In order not to be looked down upon by the three Tu Hong brothers, all Tang Jing could do was to speak as little as possible, make as few mistakes as possible, and establish a calm image in front of his subjects.

That's enough!

In order not to be embarrassed, Tang Jing also took the time to check the battle log.

"Kill the wild wolf, kill value +1 point!"

"Kill the wild boar, kill value +1 point!"

Wild wolves and wild boars are the most common wild monsters, at the bottom of the monster sequence. Unsurprisingly, they neither drop money, nor are they likely to drop any rare props.

Unless luck goes against you.

In the afternoon, someone on the national channel took the initiative to break the news, saying that he just killed an ordinary rabbit and actually dropped a black iron treasure chest and obtained an iron sword.

It can be seen that he is the real European Emperor.

Compared with the daytime, the market is already much more lively. It is no longer just selling wood and stone, but various game products such as rabbit meat, wild vegetables, wild fruits, fish, and seafood are gradually appearing.

There are even scarce supplies such as wild pepper and coarse salt.

After a day of hard work, the lords also showed their talents. In addition to using sea water to dry salt, some brothers have even begun to build earthen kilns, preparing to use the open-air iron ore they picked up to smelt iron.

Firing clay pots is no problem.

There are also many lucky people who have picked up treasure chests in the wild, and the materials they have given out are all kinds of.

As the "richest man" in Blue Star, Tang Jing has been scanning the market since the afternoon, buying everything that can be exchanged for basic supplies, whether it is game, pepper, coarse salt, or clay pots.

As reserve supplies.

With the three Tu Hong brothers here, the territory should not have to worry about food in the short term. But Tang Jing, who had been hungry a lot when he was a child, had the consciousness of "gathering food" running deep in his bones.

If you can usually store more food, store more.

Whether it is wolf meat, pork, or game bought from the market, it is ready to be marinated with coarse salt, dried and made into bacon as a reserve ration.

Be prepared!

The main reason is that the basic materials in Tang Jing's hands are too abundant, and it would be a waste to not use them.

The fact that he held a lottery in the circle of friends at noon has spread among the players of Zunlong Kingdom, making many lords jealous, and they took the initiative to send wood or stones to Tang Jing.

I also want to participate in the lottery.

Tang Jing also accepted all comers. In one afternoon, he received more than 200,000 units of wood and more than 100,000 units of stone. At the same time, he received nearly 300,000 new friends.

It can be seen that this second batch is very different from the first batch, and the purpose is very clear.

The result was that when Tang Jing won the lottery among the 500 lucky winners, some who did not win immediately jumped out.

"Isn't it right? Boss Tang Jing!"

"There are nearly 300,000 people in the temporary group. Even if each person only sends one unit of supplies, Boss Tang Jing, you have received at least 300,000 units of supplies. Why did you come up with 100,000 units of supplies for the lottery? It's a bit shady

ah."

"Yeah, let's take another batch!"

This is a very simple arithmetic problem and not difficult to solve.

There were no such doubts in the previous lottery because the first batch of givers were completely voluntary. Of course they were happy if they won, but they didn't feel any loss if they didn't win.

Moreover, among the first batch of donors, less than one-fifth took the initiative to add Tang Jing as a friend.

Therefore, Tang Jing's "profit" cannot be calculated.

This time is different.

Most people have “impure” intentions to begin with, but their intentions are immediately revealed.

"Sure enough, there is no free bargain in the world!"

Faced with doubts, Tang Jing remained calm and quickly thought of countermeasures. The simplest and crudest way was to simply disband the group chat without responding at all.

Of course it's also the stupidest.

It seemed like he had all the benefits in his pocket, but his reputation was suddenly ruined.

Totally worth the loss!

In the context of national lords competing for hegemony, reputation, although invisible and intangible, is actually of great importance. A good reputation can attract people, and a bad reputation can also reject people.

Especially like Tang Jing.

When you are in an enemy country and need reinforcements from your home country at any time, you have to maintain a good reputation.

But it doesn't seem to be the case if Tang Jingjiang is asked to take out all the materials he has obtained. Then isn't he doing useless work and working in vain?

The middleman must make a profit.

After thinking about it, Tang Jing explained in the group: "The donated materials received this time are mainly wood, and there are only more than 50,000 units of stone. If you want to draw more, you can't."

"I will draw another thousand people and change the gift package to 200 units of wood."

"Pull out all the supplies received this time."

"Is this okay?"

The prerequisite for engaging in platform lottery is to achieve information asymmetry.

Core information such as "specifically how many people participated and how many supplies were crowdfunded" can only be mastered unilaterally by the platform. Once it is made public, the game will no longer be playable.

Since there was no way to blur the number of participants, Tang Jing could only play tricks on the categories of supplies.

Here's a trick to steal the beam and change the pillar.

The already abundant wood was taken out for lottery to buy relatively scarce stone.

Earn the price difference in disguise!

Although I didn’t earn as much as I did the first time, my hard work was not in vain and I answered my questions skillfully.

"You can do this, Boss Tang Jing is so awesome!"

"Yes, yes, we wrongly blamed Boss Tang Jing. I'm sorry. Originally, these materials were supposed to be given to Boss Tang Jing for free to bring glory to the country, but now it has become like this..."

Tang Jing's "justification" also exposed many people's thoughts.

See?

Under the guise of supporting the front line, the actual purpose is impure.

"It's okay, it's okay, we are all a family, as we should." Tang Jing was very "generous".

After calming down the turmoil, I was already thinking about how to improve the crowdfunding system in the future, so as to achieve both fame and fortune.

Prostitution also requires wisdom!
