Chapter 114: So Busy

"Ahem! Let go!" It took a lot of effort to pull the eagle down. "You tell me what we're still missing, and I'll write it down and go find it!"

Ying said to the list: "You have already solved the magic crystal, magic silver and gold. There are all kinds of irons for sale, but I am short of money. I did some calculations and bought all these kinds of irons. Need...!" Ying counted on his fingers for a long time. "Thirteen million crystal coins should be about the same! Also, the glitter stone is a special mine, produced in only two places in the country. Because the demand is relatively large, the other party said it could be cheaper, but in the end it cost about 3 million crystal coins. ! There are also some "messy" small materials. We calculated that they cost about 5 million crystal coins. There are three remaining things that even if you have money, you can't buy them. The first one is cold crystal stone, which requires 30 kilograms. There is no place to sell this thing, but it is said that it is produced in the northern region. The second one is mica flakes. We have technicians who can process it ourselves, but we can’t buy raw ore, and we don’t even know where it is produced! If you can find it, It’s best to get 10 cubes back to prevent excessive losses during processing! The third one is enhanced magic silver, which requires a total of 30 tons. We only know that it is processed by adding ordinary magic silver to magic crystal powder. The problem It’s because we don’t know how to process it, and we don’t know who has the technology!”

I calculated what I had written down, and then said: "So we need a total of 80 million crystal coins, 30 kilograms of cold crystals, at least 10 cubic mica, and 30 tons of reinforced magic silver! Oh my God! I have the guts. It feels like I’m burning money!”

Ying said: "Speaking of which, these are just the prices of special buildings. There are far more places to spend money in our city than these! Our magic crystal cannons need maintenance, and some places need to purchase a few more magic crystal cannons. I will Not even counting! Also, many buildings in the city have not been completed, and the post-work has not been completed yet, which all costs money. The same goes for the workers you hired. We only gave a deposit at the beginning, and we will pay as soon as the work is completed. It’s money, it doesn’t even count!”

"Wait a minute! Let me think about it first! When we went to Germany, we took 23 million crystal coins with us. We originally planned to buy technology after going to Germany, but the last penny was useless. You can take it first when the rose comes back. Go to the emergency and worry about the rest! By the way, the fleet, I plan to sell the fleet!"

"What?" The eagle cried out as soon as he heard it. "Ziri, killing the chicken to retrieve the eggs is not a good idea!"

"Who said I killed the goose that laid the goose to lay the eggs? This time I went to Europe and it felt like their technology was much more advanced than ours. There were basically ironclad ships scurrying across the ocean. We here are still using wooden ships. There is such a gap. It’s too big! I want to get rid of these ships quickly while Asia is still in the age of wooden ships! We brought back the ironclad ship construction technology from Germany this time, and it just happened to be directly replaced! Moreover, if we sell it now, we will definitely get a good price!”

"Why?"

"Because warships from all over the world came to fight in a group to snatch the treasure of the treasure island!"

"Didn't you vacate the treasure island mentioned in that forum?"

"I have indeed evacuated Treasure Island, but the problem is that others don't know it! Those warships fought for the treasure and died together! Now apart from Germany, we are the only fully-organized fleet in the world! Within three weeks There is no fleet in the world that can compete with our fleet. In other words, our fleet can fight whoever it wants, and no one can stop us! Such a unique fleet, brought to us at such a period For sale, how much do you think others will pay?”

"I don't know how much it costs, but it must be higher than the cost price!"

"That's right! What everyone is buying now is not battleships, but time." I opened the president's deposit account and allocated 10,000 crystal coins to Eagle. "Use this money for publicity. The whole world must know about it. Oh no, as long as Asia, South America and Africa know about it! Europe and North America have entered the age of ironclads, and our ships cannot be sold at a good price!"

"Then how to set the time? What about the transaction method?"

"You can't delay this. If it takes a long time, you won't be able to sell it at a good price. The faster it is, the more valuable it is! Forget it, you can just promote Asia. The other continents are too far away and I'm afraid it's too late. The time is set at Beijing time. 'The boat starts at 12 noon sharp. You decide the location. Just find a location on the high seas, just don't get too close to Essinger. Of course the transaction method is auction, apply for system notarization, it's safe!"

"Isn't time tight?"

"It doesn't matter! Those people who want to buy boats are rushing to buy them because other guilds don't have boats. They won't be worth anything when everyone has built new boats!"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now!" Eagle turned around to make publicity, and I hurried to the dungeon below Isinger. The reinforcements from the Mist Legion were about to arrive, and I had to find Vader to make arrangements first. The reorganization work will be done next!

After going down to the dungeon, I found that this place was very different from when I left. Many buildings were only built with a few walls at first, but now they have been completed. Except for the relatively deserted place, I thought Essinger could be regarded as a very... A complete city!

"Zi Ri!" A sweet voice called from behind, and as soon as I turned around, I saw a beautiful figure throwing herself into my arms.

"Vina? Are you okay?" During the last city defense battle, Vina was injured and fell into a coma while trying to protect me. She never woke up until I left Essinger for Europe. I didn't expect her to come back this time. Miraculous recovery!

Vina jumped off me and spun around in front of me. "Look, I'm fine! After all, I have the power of the Supreme God. As long as my consciousness is restored, this injury doesn't matter!"

"Just blow it!" He rubbed her hair lovingly. "Where's your brother?"

"Vader went to patrol the front door!"

"Front door?" Essinger has a total of three walls. The outermost wall has only one waterway entrance and one land entrance. We all call the waterway entrance Lock No. 1, and the land entrance, which is the one with a huge lifting gate installed by Su Mei, we call it the front door. That place is more than ten miles away from here! I quickly pulled Vina and ran towards the nearest teleportation array. The city was really too big and that was the only bad thing about it!

When we got to the front door the doorman said that Vida heard me coming back and rushed back to the Juling Tower! Really, it actually went wrong! Fortunately, he didn't leave when we returned to the Spirit Gathering Tower. The first thing Vader said when he saw me was: "Where are the troops?"

I looked at the system time and it was exactly eleven o'clock. "We'll arrive in one hour at most! You'd better get to the port right away and prepare to receive them! By the way, are the barracks of those troops ready?"

"Don't worry, City Lord, Essinger has nothing but a big place!"

faint! Even NPCs know it’s a joke!

Vader simply assigned tasks to several other men who had evolved into acting Death Gods, and then quickly followed us to the port. We waited at the port for more than an hour, but there was no sign of the fleet. As a result, we didn't see the fleet until 00:40 in the morning, and strangely, something seemed wrong with the entire fleet. When I got closer, I realized something was wrong. The decks of these battleships were all flush with the water. It seemed that each ship contained a lot of things!

After entering the port, the fleet first parked Noah outside the city. Essinger's port is built-in, and the connecting channel is too narrow for Noah to get in! The other warships quickly docked, and then there was a scene that surprised us! Groups of Mist Legion soldiers were carrying big wooden boxes off the ship one after another! The battleship is so deep because it contains too many boxes!

When I saw Rose getting off the boat, I ran over quickly. "Rose……!"

Rose raised her hand and interrupted me. "Listen to me, my fatigue level is almost over. The system has warned me twice. If I don't log out, the system will kick me. I still have two minutes. First of all, we came back late because we stopped by the coast of Japan on the way. We circled around and looted three cities! Because the main fleet was all exhausted on that island, there were only some small-tonnage gunboats left in these cities. We killed them casually. Then I led the troops to loot the city. . The first two cities only got some equipment, but the third city found these things! These are..."

Rose suddenly disappeared before she could finish her words. The system probably kicked her! Anyway, the matter is almost explained. I will know what is in the box by myself! After all the boxes were unloaded, I asked Vader to arrange the reorganization of the Mist Legion, while I went to see what was in those boxes!

I walked over to a box and looked at it. The wooden box was beautifully carved with patterns. The things inside were probably very valuable! I grabbed the edge of the box and lifted the lid hard. Suddenly, I was dumbfounded! The box is full of luminous stones. The blue balls vary in size. The big ones are as big as volleyballs, and the small ones are as big as cherries. Vina picked one up and looked at it. "High-purity hydrofluorite is an excellent processing material. It can be embedded in equipment or used to build buildings and ships!"

I quickly opened a box next to me. This box was also hydrofluorite, but it was all white. Later, black water fluorite, silver water fluorite and purple water fluorite were discovered! I saw on the forum that fluorite is abundant in the United States, but I didn’t expect it to be found in Japan too!

At this time Su Mei suddenly appeared. "Why aren't you offline?" After the rose disappeared, I boarded the boat and took a look. Everyone was gone. I thought they were all offline at first, but I didn't expect that Su Mei was still there!

Su Mei shook her head. "I logged off for a while and took a nap. I was not so tired that I needed to log off!"

"By the way, you know these things, right?"

Su Mei looked at it and said: "I know! It was found in the Japanese city we attacked. This city belongs to the Black Dragon Society. There were several American ships in the port at that time. We thought it was strange, so we moved over and took a look. Look, who would have thought that the Japanese port actually fired at us first, so we just ransacked the city without stopping!"

"Then how come the Black Dragon Society has so many fluorite?"

"This is brought here by the Americans! The Black Dragon Society has done business with a guild in the United States. It seems that the American guild wants some kind of crystal, and Japan produces this kind of crystal! Then the Black Dragon Society and this guild A trade was made, the crystal was exchanged for hydrofluorite.”

"Then didn't this war involve the Americans?" I don't want to have premature contact with the Americans yet, especially in a hostile state!

"The deal was over when we arrived. We didn't lose anything to them by taking hydrofluorite, so they wouldn't be our enemies! When we looted the city, the people on the escort warships next to the American merchant ships were all there. Looking at the excitement, no one said they wanted to help the Japanese, and they later took advantage of the situation and stole some things and ran away!"

"Americans really put their interests first! They just threw it away as soon as they finished the business!"

Su Mei jumped onto a box and patted the lid of the box with her hands: "These hydrofluorite are necessary materials for building ironclads. Japan doesn't have a single hydrofluorite mine, so they have no way to build ironclads except importing them. Thanks to us I took the opportunity to get these things back this time, otherwise we would be in trouble if Japan had an ironclad!"

"How much is this?"

"Enough to build 10,000 armored ships as big as the Biling!"

"We can't use that much, right?"

"You can sell the excess! Hydrofluorite has a wide range of uses, so don't worry if you can't sell it! It is conservatively estimated that one box is worth about 1,000 crystal coins. How much should we keep?"

"We can't afford to build too many warships. 5,000 ships should be the limit!"

"Then we'll leave enough for 5,000 battleships, just half of it. The remaining 20,000 boxes can be sold for 20 million crystal coins at a time. Now our guild won't have to worry about money!"

I quickly interrupted her and showed her the list I copied from Eagle. Su Mei looked at it and suddenly jumped up from the box. "What? Eighty million crystal coins? Robbery?"

"What can I do! I can get 20 million by selling these hydrofluorite. Our guild still has 23 million, so we are still short of 37 million crystal coins! I plan to sell this wooden fleet."

Sumei understood what I meant immediately and nodded. "What a good idea! Now that no one has a boat, we can sell it at a good price! What a good idea!"

I added: "Of course, we can't just sell it like this! First of all, the propellers must be removed and all replaced with sail-powered ones. The removed propellers can just be used on the ironclads, so there is no need to build new ones. It costs money again! I won’t sell the speedboat on the ship. I can’t give it to others, and I can’t sell the waterproof door I bought from Atlantis! I definitely can’t keep the magic crystal cannon. , as for the artillery...!"

"Keep it!" Su Mei quickly helped me make a decision. "People who want to buy boats want to take advantage of this period of time when no one has a boat. How can you sell them if you have dismantled the cannons? You can dismantle the magic crystal cannons, but don't dismantle the cannons. This way you can sell them more expensively. Let’s make a lot of money by the way! By the way, do you want to sell the Biling number?”

"To be honest, I don't want to sell! But in the future they will all be ironclads, and such a wooden-hulled warship is of no use! And in the future, ironclads can also be built very big. This time you also saw that some warships in the British imperial fleet are as big as The Bilinghao is almost big, which means that the Bilinghao will have no size advantage in the future!"

"Then keep it!" Su Mei said decisively: "Let's just consider it as a commemoration! Anyway, this one is not bad! What if we have to use the ship before the armored fleet is built? We must keep one! "

"Okay then! Stay with the Bi Ling!"

Su Mei turned around and looked at the fleet behind her and said: "Excluding the Biling and Noah, we have a total of 537 regular warships. The boats belonging to the pirate families brought back from the Mediterranean this time are too small. Don't sell them. Keep them. Let’s use it as entertainment charity in the future! These 537 battleships can be divided into three levels and sold separately! This way you can earn more!”

"Okay, that's it. You go and rest! I'll leave this to me!"

"Then I'm offline! 88!"

After Su Mei left, I was left to work alone! First run to the guild warehouse of our Rose Alliance, and then summon the space gate. First, we must put the raw magic crystal ore and the gold and silver jewelry retrieved from the Death Mountain into the warehouse. The guild warehouse is similar to a bank, and only cities built by players have such things. If ordinary players have not bought a house in the city, they can deposit the things they cannot fit into the system bank. The bank in "Zero" can not only deposit money, but also items, but there is a fee for depositing items. The fee is generally calculated based on the space occupied by the item. The fee is the same no matter how long the item is stored, so it is best not to take things out too often. Putting it in again would be very expensive. But the cities built by players are different. The guild that builds the city can have a guild warehouse, and players in the guild can store items here, and it is completely free!

After opening the space door, I took out the demon pets and demon servants, leaving the dark cavalry and other summoned creatures to transport things to the warehouse. Anyway, there were so many pieces of magic crystal that even the crystal magic beetles could move them! I arranged for several large demon pets to carry the Tower of Babel and the four large sculptures. I took the demon servants and the remaining demon pets to the dock to work. The Demon Knight is responsible for directing the transportation of the hydrofluorite, and Ling goes to help Vader coordinate the disembarkation of the Mist Legion. The millions of skeletons are so big when they stand up, and they won't be able to be unloaded tomorrow night without some guidance! Grandma's water nature is good, so she is assigned to direct water traffic to avoid accidents. Xiaochun's task was to count the ships with Amynis. The two of them had to classify the ships according to their tonnage to prepare for the noon auction tomorrow (it is already the early morning of the 26th). In order to make it easier for them to work, I assigned Ye Ying to both of them. Ye Ying can fly, allowing them to move from one boat to another quickly!

As more and more troops came ashore, the dock was obviously not big enough. We had no choice but to let Vader lead a group of troops to the camp first, so that the port could be freed up for the troops behind to disembark! There was really no one around, so Vina had to come up to help. Please help her guide the troops to the barracks on the road, because she was too busy alone, so I had to summon the clones, and then let the two clones follow her! Thanks to my skills, otherwise so many things would be really messed up!

Now I have to ride Xiaoxue back and forth in various places, and I will deal with any problems on the spot! This night in Essinger was just like the Chinese New Year, with all kinds of sounds mixed together into a mess. Magic lights were also set up on the sea to illuminate the sky. Even the sky above the city was unsafe. Those spears behind the Tower of Babel were transported out of the space gate. They also followed, but because the tower hadn't been erected yet, they just hovered blindly over the city!

At around nine o'clock in the morning, everyone was online. Shura Ziyi arrived first. As soon as she got off the ship, she ran directly to the port. I happened to be directing the dispatch at the port. She ran over quickly. "Ziri! It's so lively here!"

"Busty? You haven't seen last night! That's what it's called! Now most of the troops have arrived at the camp, and this place has been vacated. It was full of people last night, and it was so dark that it made my head hurt to see it! "

"Haha! You are wrong! The Mist Legion is undead, not human beings. It should be said that they are all undead. Besides, the most people coming this time are skeletons. They should be a vast expanse of white!"

"Stop talking! You're here just in time! Go to Juling Tower to find Ying. I asked him to help me with publicity. He doesn't have enough manpower, and my demon pet can't go to the forum, so he can't help!"

"Then I'll go over and help!"

After Shura Ziyi ran away, the Bi Ling came on duty again. This was already its seventh trip. After the boat stopped, what came down was not the fog army, but a group of pretty girls with blond hair and blue eyes. faint! Forgot about the female players from Germany! They haven't been online for the past few days, and there's nothing interesting on the ship anyway, so I asked them to wait until today!

"President? Is this Isengard?" A very beautiful female player came over and asked.

"Well! This is the magic city of Isengard. How do you feel?"

"You can't see the outside here, but just looking at the port, it's huge! It seems to be almost as big as our city!"

Woma suddenly ran up from behind. "President, can we take a tour?"

"Of course! This will be your city from now on, so you must be familiar with the environment! That's right!" Snap! I snapped my fingers.

Scott ran over. "Master, what's going on?"

"Go to the camp and ask Vader to select 100 soldiers who were originally stationed at Isengard to be their tour guides and take them around the city to familiarize themselves with the environment!"

"Understood!" Scott walked towards Woma and said, "Please follow me!"

A large group of girls followed Scott and left behind, while I continued to face the troops behind me! There are too many fog legions!

The work of unloading the ship lasted until almost noon. The regular troops of the Mist Legion were arranged to the military camp, while the skeleton army was all piled into the warehouse behind the military camp. Anyway, the skeletons did not take up space, so they could be stacked one on top of the other. Not much space!

The Mist Legion is over, and the work of Xiaochun and Amynis is also over. All large warships have red flags hung on their bows, medium-sized warships hang blue flags, and small warships hang nothing! This way it will be easier to set the price when selling! According to the inventory, we have a total of 37 large warships, 371 medium warships, and 1 small warship. The troops have all been unloaded, and the warships no longer need to leave the port. The modifications will begin immediately. All the NPC mechanics in the city were summoned to start dismantling the ship. The magic crystal cannon, thrusters, and waterproof doors were all going to be removed.

Everything is arranged, and I can do other things by myself. First, we ran back to the Juling Pagoda. Rose and the others happened to be there, so they took the time to discuss the auction's minimum price. The final auction base price was 1 million crystal coins for a large warship, 700,000 crystal coins for a medium-sized warship, and 500,000 crystal coins for a small warship. All warships had a one-time price plus 10,000 crystal coins. In addition, Su Mei gave us a relatively bad idea - crew rental. Although the battleship is sold, the crew is my pirate brother. These cannot be sold, but they can be rented. It is impossible for people who bought a boat to drive the fleet back by themselves. When the time comes, we can rent out crew members to help them drive the boat to the port. We can make the rent a little higher, but we’re not afraid of the buyer not wanting to do it unless he doesn’t want the ship!

When the results of the discussion came out, Ying just came down from the forum, and I quickly asked him about the news release. Eagle calmly replied: "Don't worry, the news has been successfully spread!"

"Really? That's great!"

Ying Dao: "I posted a lot of posts on the forum myself, and then hired some people from other countries to post on the forums in their respective countries to announce the news. Dozens of guilds in more than a dozen countries have already expressed interest. .Some people even want to trade in advance and say they are willing to pay a big price!"

"Haha! I'm going to get rich this time!"

"Don't be too eager to be happy. Although many guilds said they wanted to buy it, almost everyone asked if they could only buy part of it! Everyone is not stupid, and they know that selling the boat at this time will definitely be a big deal. But those who get the boat The guild can immediately attack the ports of other guilds to get the money back, so no one cares about the money. But the problem is that our fleet has too many ships, and no guild can afford the one-time purchase!"

After hearing what Eagle said, Rose said: "It's really a problem. According to our pricing, even if we sell it at the lowest price, it's worth 300.61 million crystal coins. No guild can afford so much money! "

"Then take it apart and sell it!" Su Mei suddenly said this!
