Lord of the Nine Realms

Chapter 112 Tumo Wants to Do Business (4K)

When the noodles are cooked, put them in a large black pottery bowl and give them to guests from afar. The animal meat is in the pot next to it.

Lu Liangshan used chopsticks to bring the noodles into his mouth and swallowed them hard. It was a kind of rough flour with chaff from teeth inside, making it difficult to swallow.

Tumo next to him didn't care, Chen Yuansheng was enjoying his meal, and the men around him ate deliciously.

The moonlight is gentle and the stars are bright.

The heavy snoring of the tauren could be heard in the distance, and occasionally a woman's slight gasping could be heard.

Lu Liangshan put his hands on the back of his head, lying on a piece of animal skin, looking at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but whisper to Tu Mo next to him: "Brother, what kind of person do you think this Chen Yuansheng is?"

Tu Mo knelt down on the animal skin, holding a knife in both hands and facing the moonlight with his eyes closed to relax. After hearing this, he hesitated for a moment: "In terms of strength, five Chen Yuansheng can't beat me. In terms of ability, fifty of me can't beat me." Not as good as him."

"Pfft!"

Lu Liangshan couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, we have been in the territory for less than half a day, and you actually have such a high opinion of Chen Yuansheng. You must be hasty."

"Actually, I had a good impression of him at first, but I really can't accept the fact that he mixes with the people and doesn't have the temperament of a superior."

"You've seen the lord of Maple Leaf City and the general of Wangdu, right? He's so calm and pretentious. A person staring down at him is silent like a cicada, not even daring to breathe."

"If you want to achieve great things, you must first establish rules and cultivate your own aristocratic temperament, otherwise how can you convince the public."

"It would be better for Mr. Chen to tell others that he was born a slave. How will these people view you in the future?"

Tu Mo stuck the long knife on the ground and relaxed his posture: "Liangshan, if you and Chen Yuansheng were to change places and change identities, do you think you could do better than him?"

Lu Liangshan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "There is a high probability that he can't do it. If nothing else, I can't conquer any of the silver beasts he gathered."

Tu Mo nodded: "Me too. You may not feel that you have been pampered since you were a child, but I feel deeply about it. I feel very comfortable when I come into contact with a leader like Chen Yuansheng."

"For example, what he said to Master Xu today, he gave away two sets of adobe houses that have not been capped, and gave the bridegroom a gimmick. In fact, these things, as an alchemist, Master Xu deserved. But Chen Yuansheng proposed it on his own initiative, which gives people a different feeling."

"Even if it were me, I would be very moved."

"Ah."

Lu Liangshan sat up cross-legged: "Before coming, several elders asked me to focus on what spiritual plants are here and find a stable source of materials for Lingyun Dan Pavilion."

"But I think differently. You also know that the Lingyun Pill Pavilion started out with alchemy. An elite hunter like me can't get into the inner circle. After 20 years of wandering around, he will still be a bodyguard."

"So I'm also looking for a breakthrough to show my own value. If this Chen Yuansheng really develops, I might as well take a gamble and put my energy here. But I'm not sure yet. I'd like to give you some advice."

Tu Mo turned around and said seriously: "Liangshan, if you do business with Chen Yuansheng, you will definitely make money without losing money. On the Lu family's side, you have to dominate this line and not let others get involved; on Chen Yuansheng's side, you You have to do what he likes, show your strength, and make him unable to live without you. From now on, you don’t have to gamble and you are guaranteed to win.”

"His..."

Lu Liangshan took a deep breath: "Brother Tumo, help me figure it out. What should we do next?"

…………

Because he didn't want Lu Liangshan to know his secret, the next morning, while they were still wandering around the territory, Chen Yuansheng called the little ones one by one to advance.

Second Falcon: Spend 3 attribute points to advance to the second level spiritual beast with 0% progress.

Big Big Wolf: Spending 3 attribute points, the upgrade progress of the first-level spiritual beast is 78%.
Xiaoqiang: Spend 2 attribute points to advance to the second level spiritual beast with 0% progress
Dashan: Spending 4 attribute points, the upgrade progress of the first-level spirit beast is 76%.
Okawa: Spending 4 attribute points, the upgrade progress of the first-level spiritual beast is 76%.
Clouded Leopard: Spending 4 attribute points, the upgrade progress of the first-level spiritual beast is 76%.
Sanhe: Spending 3 attribute points, the upgrade progress of the first-level spirit beast is 75%.
Sihe: Spending 3 attribute points, the upgrade progress of the first-level spirit beast is 75%.
Gray Bird: Spend 2 attribute points to advance to the second level spiritual beast with 0% progress
Sheep: 2 attribute points are spent, and the upgrade progress is 75%.
After using 30 attribute points, I also upgraded Er Falcon, Xiao Qiang, and Gray Bird into second-level spiritual beasts, and the beast master reached lv2 (5/10).

However, Xiaoqiang was almost beaten to death during the advancement process, which really shocked Chen Yuansheng and Xiao Xiong.

After all, Xiaoqiang is too small, and the speed of advancement is too fast, which is very risky. I can't do this next time.

There were 77 attribute points left in the system panel. After asking Luo Xue, Chen Yuansheng came to the Lingzhi Garden to upgrade the Lingzhi.

First, use 5 attribute points to promote the remaining two ordinary Xingyue Juling Grass and three Qingying Lingyan Grass to a first-level spiritual plant.

He also used 6 attribute points to upgrade the three Star-Moon Spirit-Gathering Grass, Green Cherry Spirit Flame Grass, and Qian Fei Tea Tree that were halfway through the last advancement into second-level spiritual plants.

【Star and Moon Spirit Gathering Grass】

Realm: Second level spiritual plant (upgrade progress 0%)

【Qian Fei Tea Tree】

Realm: Second level spiritual plant (upgrade progress 0%)

【Qingying Lingyan Grass】

Realm: Second level spiritual plant (upgrade progress 0%)

There are really not many attribute points for upgrading the spiritual plant. Chen Yuansheng thought about it and decided to upgrade a batch more.

So it took half of the 6 attribute points to advance the two star leaf grasses, the two bottle trees, and the wisteria.

The biggest change in the spiritual plant promotion this time is the Qianfei tea tree. The sapling has grown to [-] centimeters, and the leaves can already smell a faint fragrance. Chen Yuansheng is looking forward to it, maybe he can drink spiritual tea this year.

…………

Lu Liangshan and Tumo spent most of their time with Master Xu today. They were curious about the project that Master Xu was going to do.

Of course they had seen the alchemist before, and Tumo was no stranger to him, but what Mr. Xu was doing didn't seem to have anything to do with the alchemist.

"Rubbing the bearings by hand? Aren't you trying to make fun of the alchemist?"

"This is a waste of the beast soul crystal."

In addition to his two sons, there were four young men and two tauren who fought for Master Xu, all of whom were shirtless and sweating profusely.

In the simple small smelting furnace, Mr. Xu mixed wood and beast soul crystals, ignited them with spiritual energy, and then put in discarded swords and armors. The young men poured the molten iron into the molds.

What is formed is the iron rod and the iron ring.

The next step is a long and big project. One end of the iron rod is first punched out, and then fixed on a wooden spinning wheel, with a young man spinning hard behind it.

In front is an anvil fixed on a big stone. There is a forged triangular blade protruding two inches long on the anvil. This triangular blade is used to turn iron bars.

The wooden spinning wheel has been modified three times for stability.The young man spinning the spinning wheel was so exhausted that he had to change people every five minutes to ensure speed.

Needless to say, this method is quite effective. After turning, the rough iron rod becomes extremely smooth, almost like a mirror, and can even reflect light.

"Great!"

Although he didn't know what this thing called a bearing was used for, Lu Liangshan admired the hard work of these people.

After turning, the smooth iron rods are cut into two-inch pieces by the same turning method, and then a young man uses sand and stone to manually polish the two ends to ensure smoothness.

The inner and outer rings cannot be turned and are purely manually polished with sand and stone.

Between the rings is a simple assembled roller cage. A carpenter first makes a mold according to the size, then casts it into shape and polishes it by hand.

In the afternoon, the first batch of four assembled bearings was finally completed. Although these bearings are very crude, it took Master Xu and a group of people to work for five days before they were made. The bearing ring alone eliminated seven bearings. eight.

When they heard that the bearings were ready, many people in the territory put down their work and came to watch the excitement.

After hearing the news, Chen Yuansheng personally came to witness this sacred moment, and together with Carpenter Sun and Master Xu, he put the bearings on the newly made wheels.

The wheels were made from the better wood that Carpenter Sun had these days, but due to the tight construction deadline, the production was relatively rough.

First, fix the outer ring of the bearing on the wheel to prevent it from falling off, then pour animal oil on the inner ring of the bearing, fix it on the axle, put the wheel on, fix it, and pin it.

The trolley was bought by Chen Yuansheng from the village back then. It was very dilapidated. Carpenter Sun had already replaced a few boards with it, so it was at least usable.

In this way, an epoch-making original bearing pallet truck was born.

From the outside, it looks no different from a farmer's cart, but when it is pulled up, the friction is much smaller.

The young people in the territory were very curious. They pulled the carts one by one to try them out, and finally came to the conclusion that it worked.

Chen Yuansheng also knows that the current bearings are poorly sealed and should not last long, but this is just the beginning. As experience continues to accumulate and technology continues to improve, sooner or later the territory will produce high-quality bearings.

Lu Liangshan could only look at it and bared his teeth: What did you do after struggling for a long time?With this effort, several carts were built.

The handsome Tumo never spoke. He was a member of the Gray Human race of the Purple Gold Empire, and the Gray Human race had the largest variety of alchemists in the world.

He has been dealing with some low-level alchemists since he was a child, and has seen quite a few of them. Because they were depressed and frustrated, they spent their whole life on messy poverty, and ended up in poverty and depression.

The Chen Yuansheng in front of them was obviously more capable than them. He actually used precious beast soul crystals to make useless bearings. If they could get together, they would obviously be very gregarious.

…………

At sunset, Chen Yuansheng gathered the monsters under the big tree by the lake again. In addition to the bronze and above monsters, Mr. Xu and Carpenter Sun were also present at the meeting.

Chen Yuansheng originally did not invite Lu Liangshan and Tumo, but when they saw the excitement here, they came over to sit down out of curiosity and refused to leave.

Originally, one of the topics of this meeting was to discuss whether to advance those tiger-headed men and tauren. With outsiders present, Chen Yuansheng couldn't say much.

"Er Falcon and Sanhe, let's talk about the investigation situation in the past few days."

As usual, the scout Er Falcon was the first to report: "I don't think the situation is very good. Our strong offensive tactics alerted the desert evil beasts. They began to shrink in groups and take care of each other, and they have been able to attack each other every time in the past few days. Saw big birds circling.”

Sanhe continued: "We used to see very few polluting birds, but recently there have been more and more. I have a feeling that they are coming for us."

The dragon lizard shook its front leg: "Boss Chen, my leg should be fine, it's time for another long-distance hunting, otherwise they might launch a sneak attack on us."

The demon camel looked at the dragon lizard and said cautiously: "The current situation is different from before. We can't just consider offense, but also defense. The evil beast also has a big bird, so it must have detected the existence of its territory. There is no city wall here. If we Now that everyone is out, what if a speed monster attacks us secretly?"

Several monsters around them nodded. Now the distance of the expedition is getting farther and farther, and they are all 150 miles away. If the territory encounters an accident, it will be too late to return to defense.

Chen Yuansheng didn't need to mention it. The monsters directly put the defense of the territory on the agenda.

"I have an idea to arm the tiger-headed and tauren who immigrated. What do you think?"

Dragon Lizard and the others didn't have any objections. In fact, the ones who felt the most uncomfortable were Yao Lang and Hu Yan.

The demon wolf was the first to participate in the siege and rescue people, and was an absolute veteran of the three dynasties. However, due to its strength, it has been severely marginalized. With the addition of a few bronze tauren with big axes, it will have to step aside.

Just like Hu Yan, he was originally the boss of the immigrants. If the other orcs got up, he would have no advantage at all.

The demon wolf said from the side: "There is no problem in arming them, but the territory currently lacks mounts and weapons..."

Mr. Xu coughed: "Lord Chen, you can leave the weapons to me, but the scrap iron in the territory is a waste of beast soul crystals. If you can buy it, buy some iron."

Before Chen Yuansheng could speak, Daqing from behind said: "Boss Chen, if I have time, I can go back for a run. There are many strong cattle in our herd, but they are all of ordinary qualifications. I will bring them first, and take your time." upgrade."

"What do you eat?"

Chi Wu grinned and asked, "The grass nearby is almost eaten up by both of you."

"There are grass and trees in the mountains to the north. We will eat them when we have time. After a while, the leaves of the sweet potatoes they grow can also be eaten."

Erqing added next to him.

Only these big bulls could carry the tauren and tiger-headed men. Chen Yuansheng nodded in agreement.

Next, Hu Yan reported on the latest progress of the adobe house, and planned to dig another well near the sweet potato field after the well in Lingzhi Garden was completed.

Carpenter Sun is very busy these days. Now that the cart is available, he is going to make a batch of furniture, and especially proposed to replace the tables and chairs in Boss Chen's room.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention those monsters, even Lu Liangshan and Tumo who were watching the excitement laughed.

Everyone discussed hunting and defensive tactics again, and then took advantage of the sunset to disperse.

Next to them, Lu Liangshan and Tu Mo came over with wooden blocks. Before Lao Lu could speak, Tu Men spoke first: "Lord Chen, I want to do a business with you."

Lu Liangshan's eyes widened curiously: Tu Mo is a very noble person, and his strength is there. He never bothers to talk about business.

Chen Yuansheng was also very curious, and he nodded mechanically: "Okay, yes, but are you sure you and Brother Lu are not in the same group?"

Tu Mo's serious face squeezed out a smile: "This business is between the two of us and has nothing to do with Liangshan. The price is five hundred gold coins, and I will get you ten low-level alchemists, but they are all very low. Those who are just getting started may not even be able to compare with Master Xu, but they are still alchemists anyway."

(Thank you to the brothers for the rewards, so I won’t express them one by one, so I can travel lightly. From now on, I promise to write more than [-] words a day, and I will boldly try if I exceed [-].)
