The imperial court finally decided that the garrison of the major cities should strengthen their vigilance, and ordered the Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and even the Six Gates to focus all their attention on the major guilds.
It's just that Dongchang is responsible for player movements in the Central Plains region, while Liumenmen is responsible for the major sects in the Jianghu, and Jinyiwei is responsible for accidents in the Central Plains, fluctuations in the Western Region, and the actions of the player guilds.
These measures are only to prevent a war from breaking out between player guilds and spreading to the Central Plains.
At the same time, the imperial court also decided to start stockpiling supplies. In addition to ordnance, all other supplies needed for war, including healing and elixirs, must be stocked on a large scale.
There is also the price reduction of bows and arrows. The court itself said that with the end of the war in the court and the removal of external threats, the Central Plains Dynasty's huge reserve of bows and arrows has basically become unusable. In order to restore blood, the court decided to start selling bows and arrows to players at a reduced price.
The price of bows and arrows has dropped very sharply. In the past, an arrow cost ten taels of silver. This time, the price dropped directly to one tael of silver. This has a huge impact.
At ten taels of silver a piece, ordinary players really can't afford it. In the past, at this price, players used bows and arrows like snipers, but they were only used by players with superb archery skills.
But after the price reduction, ordinary players can also afford the arrows, which cost one or two silver each. It is estimated that every player will carry dozens of them with him in case of emergency.
It is foreseeable that in the not-too-distant future, wars between player guilds will begin. Bows and arrows will appear as a common means of attack. Although it is impossible to be covered with constant rain of arrows like the NPC army, every time there is a war, there will be a few
Round bow and arrow strikes are still very possible.
After the morning session, Zeng Yi returned to the blacksmith shop and couldn't help but discuss the matter with the three bosses. After listening to Zeng Yi's words, the three bosses agreed that this must be the fault of the game company!
Zeng Yi nodded and said: "I think so too. The imperial court decided to start stockpiling strategic materials in large quantities just to make money. The purpose of lowering the price of bows and arrows is obvious, so that players can see the war become more intense!"
"You're right. In fact, after all, the war consumes the most is not the arms in your hand, but other materials that no one pays attention to. These materials are also the most profitable. The more intense the war between player guilds, the more fierce the war will be.
The more supplies are consumed. The game company has greatly increased the intensity of the war by reducing the price of arrows, which will greatly promote the consumption of supplies!"
"Hiss... the game company still knows how to play. It secretly cheated the players' money. As a result, the price of arrows was reduced, and the players had to thank the game company for their kindness! Compared with others, my arms business is nothing.
A little fight!"
The boss frowned, "Since it is to promote the fierceness of the war, why don't the game companies simply open up those ordnances? If those ordnances are completely open, I think the war will be more intense, right?"
"Don't you understand this? This is a step-by-step process. Let players start fighting with the simplest weapons first. When the war stabilizes, then fully open the ordnance. By then, the war will become fierce again. When the war becomes more stable again,
When things stabilize, it’s probably time to open up artillery in the game!”
"Holy crap, what Runni said is true. With these measures, the war will last for a long time. Then this game can still maintain its vitality for a long time!"
"This is where game companies are brilliant!"
"Then, why are you allowed to own part of the arms for sale? This is something that affects the interests of the game company!"
Not only the boss couldn't figure it out, but Zeng Yi also couldn't figure out why the game company would allow him to produce part of the arms for sale.
The fourth child thought for a while, "I think there are two reasons. One is that the second child grasped the timing well, and the other is publicity!"
Game NPCs are very intelligent and basically no different from normal people. It can be said that in games, for NPCs, this is a complete world. Games also develop and change over time. Game companies rarely intervene in NPCs.
social development.
Zeng Yi's ability to win the arms business was the opportunity brought to Zeng Yi by the development of NPC society.
Moreover, those ordnance are not so easy to get, and the price is very expensive. If it is suddenly opened, players will definitely be very cautious in using it. However, through the outflow of small batches, players will be familiar with these ordnance first. When the time comes, they will be fully opened, and players can directly use it.
Buy in bulk and start using it directly!
"That's all I can think of. As for whether the game company is responsible for this, I guess only the game company knows... maybe the rich woman in the game company has a crush on the second child?"
Zeng Yi said seriously: "If that's the case, other rich women don't have to go to such trouble and just make an offer to me. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. The main thing is that I like rich women!"
"So, do we need to prepare anything?"
Zeng Yi and Lao Si all shook their heads, "Let's just pretend we don't know. There is a high probability that the game official is pushing this matter. We are messing around in this game, so it is better not to offend the game company, otherwise it will affect the game."
It will be difficult for us to interfere with the company’s interests in the future!”
"But... you have to hurry up and grab those bows and arrows in the blacksmith shop!"
Zeng Yi's blacksmith shop also produces arrows, and they are some of the best arrows in the game. The quality is far superior to the arrows sold by the court. Most of these arrows are made by the two apprentices of Iron Hammer.
But no matter how good the quality is, it can't withstand the price reduction of the imperial court. Unless Zeng Yi's arrows are also reduced to that price, otherwise it is impossible to sell them with such a big difference! In order to prevent those bows and arrows from being smashed into your hands.
, Zeng Yi decided to sell all the bows and arrows before the court announced the news!
However, the arrows in Zeng Yi's blacksmith shop are usually supplied to some masters, and the sales are very limited. If he wants to sell them quickly, he must also reduce the price. Zeng Yi thought about it, gritted his teeth and decided to give a discount and promote it!
"Fortunately, this matter came out now. If this matter came out before the earl title mission, the competition for the earl title will only become more intense!"
The title of earl is a middle-level title. Such a title has a lot of privileges, and there is also a 22% discount on purchasing supplies.
The price of bows and arrows has been reduced. If this news comes out before the Earlship mission, the temptation of the Earlship will be even greater. At the same price, more bows and arrows can be purchased. For this reason alone, the major guilds will invest more efforts.
