The ambition of online games

Chapter 33 Purchase of Mines
In the next few days, Qin Zhou traveled all over the mountains and rivers around Longzhen, not letting go of a single corner.Long Town is said to be a town, but its scope is comparable to that of a city, with a vast area and rich resources.Now the population has exceeded 8000 million, and I believe it will soon exceed [-] million. At that time, the town will be promoted to the city, and the task of building the city will be opened. The lord of a city is already equivalent to the status of a prince. Anyone with a little ambition will be moved by it. If there is a dispute, there will be disputes, and if there are disputes, there will be benefits. Qin Zhou has never thought about being in a high position and sitting in a city, but he likes money very much.When there is a war, weapons are needed, and the material for making weapons is ore, so Qin Zhou came up with the idea of ​​ore.

After level 20, players have the right to buy land outside the town, not just within the town.As long as you have money, you can buy an entire forest.

Qin Zhou doesn't think he is very business-minded, but he also knows that things like energy and minerals are very valuable, such as oil and coal.He doesn't know if there is coal and oil in the game, but he knows that there are ores. Ores are a good thing. Whether it is to build weapons or armor, ores are inseparable, so he must act early.

Another reason that prompted him to choose ore is that he has the fairy eye of the nether world, he can see through the eighteen layers of hell, and he can't hide anywhere. It is clear at a glance where there is ore and where there is no ore. He can see that there is no need to worry about losing money. This is an advantage that no one else can compare to. If you don't make good use of it, it will be a waste of money.

There are 8 mining areas around Longzhen, named A, B, C, D, Wuji and Gengxin mining areas respectively. Among them, A, B, Ding, Wuji, and Gengxin mining areas are the richest, Bing and Ding are the highest quality, Wuji are rare mineral deposits, and Gengxin mining area has the lowest output and low quality. Poor, there are very few players mining in the two mining areas of Geng and Xin.

In addition, there are more than a dozen small mining areas that are not popular, all of which were unintentionally mined by players, but because the output is too low or the quality is not high, none of them can be put on the table.

Three days passed, and Qin Zhou found nothing. He didn't know whether he didn't go far enough or the nearby mining areas had been discovered. Anyway, Qin Zhou didn't find any valuable mining areas.

On the fourth day, there was still no discovery, and on the fifth day, I was still disappointed.I have already traveled all around Longzhen, and a large part of the electronic map in my hand is lit up. Qin Zhou can't get through any farther places. The monster level is too high, and he will die if he touches it.As a last resort, Qin Zhou focused his attention on the eight major mining areas, but in this way, the cost would be high.

Excluding the four mining areas A, B, C, and D with the highest yield and highest quality, the E mine produces millennium black iron, which is an extremely precious ore, but Qin Zhou can clearly see through the fairy eyes of the nether world that there are only a few grains of millennium black iron left Buried in the soil, other than ordinary iron, it is not suitable for investment.

Chiyang Copper is produced in the mine area, and the output is quite large, and there are a lot of underground mines. According to the normal mining speed, it should be able to mine for a year and a half, but because of the large output, a large number of players flock to this mining area to mine crazily. I am afraid that it will bottom out within a few months.Chiyang Copper is also a precious mine, Qin Zhou is quite moved, if the price is right, he can sell it.

If it is said that the own mining area is optional, then the Geng mining area is the one that must be taken. The Geng mining area also produces Chiyang copper, but the output is not as good as the own mining area, but the underground reserves are thousands of times that of the own mining area. , a mining area with great investment potential.There is a thin layer of rock blocking the rich Chiyang copper mine, and no players have discovered it yet. However, at the normal mining speed, it should be discovered by players within a week, so the action must be accelerated.

The Xin mining area is also a copper mine, but it is not a precious copper mine, but an ordinary copper mine, but this copper mine is more characteristic. Its copper mines are distributed in a gourd shape. The gourd mouth is followed by a big belly, followed by a thin waist. At the bottom is a bigger belly, but the little belly on the top has been mined almost, and it has reached the thin waist. Players are discouraged, although there are still a small number of players who hope for a miracle to happen, but the road to this miracle is not easy, and the hope is slim.The vast majority of players think that this mining area has been mined and went to other mining areas.

The eight major mining areas are not located in the same place, but are very chaotically divided. It took Qin Zhou a full day to finish viewing these major mining areas. At the same time, he also visited the small mining areas, but found nothing.Obviously, the prospectors must have been masters. Not only were their eyes extremely sharp, but they were also very hardworking. They not only ate the meat, but also drank the soup, leaving only bones and scum to future generations.Certainly have not learned what is called sustainable development.

"what"

Qin Zhou stopped in his tracks, looking at the land on the ground, it was strange.

This is a forest with a flat terrain and a wide range. The trees are tall and luxuriant, but they are all ordinary wood, not expensive, and there are no monsters. It is very quiet. The ground is green and green. serene.If there is no Youming Immortal Eye, Qin Zhou may regard all this as normal like everyone else, and will not see any abnormalities.

There is dirt under the grass, which is not surprising. The strange thing is that there is no dirt or dirt under the grass. There are no rocks or bugs. Eliminated, only the soil remains, pure as a small stream in a deep mountain.

Qin Zhou is not an expert in geology, but he still knows the general common sense.If a mountain is composed entirely of rocks without soil, this is normal, but it is very rare for a piece of soil without any rocks and other hard soil to exist, let alone such a large piece of land, and there are no insects or the like in the soil Life, that can only be said to be unreasonable.The earth no longer gave birth to life, which made Qin Zhou puzzled and strange.

This place is called Elf Plain, because there are so many trees, it is also called Elven Woods.Legend has it that the elves once lived, but they were abandoned by the elves for unknown reasons.The Elf Plain is huge, and the east and west are afraid of thousands of miles.After careful inspection for a while, Qin Zhou found that this area seemed to be different from other areas. First, its trees were very single. There was only one kind of tree. This tree was called red beans, and the red beans were about the same size and height , apparently planted at the same time.Second, the grass on the ground is also very simple. There is only one kind of vegetation called iron wire grass. Iron wire grass has a very strong ability to cover the ground. It is a new life, extending in all directions, and it is a plant with strong vitality.

Under the cover of iron wire grass, the soil below could not be seen at all. Looking around, it was full of newly grown green pointed leaves and some whitish and yellowish rhizomes.It may be because there are no monsters, there is no player around, and there are no living players such as collecting medicines. Precious medicines generally grow in the deep mountains and old forests.

For things that he didn't understand, Qin Zhou originally intended to stay away from them, but since there seemed to be no danger here, Qin Zhou had the idea of ​​exploring.

when!
Going down with a hoe, Qin Zhou's arm was numb. The iron thread grass is not hard at all, but the soil below is hard, which is comparable to rocks. Qin Zhou is not surprised but happy, the weirder it is, the better it is. thing.They started digging clangingly, and half an hour later, a small pothole was dug out. I have to say that it was the first time digging was so hard.
Under the hard soil reveals the true face of the original soil that was hidden. An unknown insect drilled a hole in the soil and looked down through the fairy eyes of the netherworld. The black soil gradually became transparent, revealing the hidden From the things in the soil, a burst of bright light shot out from the ground, almost blinding Qin Zhou's eyes.

Suet iron!
Qin Zhou's heart skipped a beat, he saw suet iron, a massive amount of suet iron ore, white as snow, smooth as oil suet iron, an ore that is more precious than Chiyang copper, currently the output is very small , the value is extremely high.

Qin Zhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He has reason to speculate that this is a hidden mine. Although he doesn't understand how the simple combination of red bean trees and iron wire grass can block the perspective of the ghostly eyes, he is not naive. It is believed that this is naturally formed.It's just that he didn't understand who discovered such a huge amount of suet iron ore, and why it was hidden and not mined. You know, this is a treasure that is equivalent to an incomparably rich country.

Qin Zhou quickly restored the pothole to its original state, and he couldn't wait to go to the Yamen, buy this piece of forest, and hold it tightly in his hands.

Longzhen government office.

Qin Zhou saw the magistrate for the first time. His surname was Zhou and his name was Qianshan.In his forties, his body is not strong, but his bones are well-proportioned, his face is clean and elegant, and his eyes are pure and deep, giving people a very wise feeling.The steps are neither slow nor slow, but there is a momentum of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his face.

Since Longzhen is the first town in Yanhuang, Zhou Qianshan's rank is the eighth rank, while the ordinary county magistrate is only the ninth rank, and even from the ninth rank, he can be regarded as a high-ranking figure.Master Liu followed behind Zhou Qianshan, and there was another person walking with Master Liu, who seemed to be a player.

"I've met County Magistrate Zhou." Qin Zhou got up and clasped his fists.

"I think you must be the young hero of a drunken beauty. You are indeed handsome and talented. When Mr. Liu told this county, he still didn't believe it. But at first sight, he really lived up to his name." Zhou Qianshan said in a thick voice.

"The county magistrate has praised you." Qin Zhou smiled slightly, not restrained.

"Everyone, please sit down." Zhou Qianshan sat on the main seat, and then made a gesture of asking Qin Zhou and the player to sit down.Master Liu stood behind Zhou Qianshan.

After the few people sat down, Master Liu stroked his beard and said to Qin Zhou: "Qin Shaoxia, let me introduce you, this is the young man of Guangyao, who is discussing with the county magistrate about buying a mining area, because Wen Shaoxia also bought a mining area So, I came here together to let everyone get acquainted."

Guangyao Renjian is extremely handsome, with a resolute face, eyebrows like knives, sharp eyes, extremely aggressive, staring at Qin Zhou, without speaking, just revealing the hidden name, Guangyao Renjian.

Qin Zhou's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm, and he said, "Drunk lying on the lap of a beauty."

Master Liu was obviously satisfied with the performance of the two of them, and he smiled and said, "I wonder which mining area Qin Shaoxia likes?"

Qin Zhou didn't answer, but asked, "I wonder if Master can tell you the prices of the eight mining areas?"

Mr. Liu said: "Yes, the price of mining area 8 varies according to the output and quality, but the minimum price should not be less than 50 gold coins, and this price is constantly changing."

Qin Zhou secretly scolded Mr. Liu for being cunning, he must have seen someone competing to raise the minimum price so high, but he was not angry, and said, "I like the four mines A, B, B, D, and D."

Guangyao Renjian's face changed when he heard the words, and he thought, this person really dares to speak up, and if the four major mining areas buy together, isn't he afraid of killing himself?

Master Liu was not worried at all that someone would buy the mining area with the highest output and form a monopoly. He said with a smile, "Qin Shaoxia is really brave. The prices of the four major mining areas of A, B, C, and D are 1300 million, 1200 million, 900 million and 1700 million respectively, totaling 6100 million. Ten thousand, take away the change, and the young man only needs to pay 6000 million gold coins."

Qin Zhou immediately changed his color. You really dare to say 6000 million gold coins. Fortunately, he did not plan to buy these four mining areas. He then asked, "What about the price of Wuji Gengxin?"

"The price of the E mine is 110 million gold coins, the price of the own mine is 230 million gold coins, the price of the Geng mine is 80 gold coins, and the price of the Xin mine is 50 gold coins." Master Liu quickly quoted the prices, obviously these data have long been memorized by heart. .

Although these four mining areas produce precious ores, the quantity is too meager compared with ordinary ores, so the overall price is not very high.It's just that the price of the Wu mining area turned out to be 110 million gold coins, which made Qin Zhou feel the huge profits of the mining industry, and even a mining area dared to pay a high price.However, who would have known that the thousand-year-old black iron in the bottom of the Penta Mine might not be worth 11 gold coins, but unfortunately, no one knew about all this.

Qin Zhou thought about it in his heart. He actually wanted to take down all the three mining areas in the back, but unfortunately, there were not enough gold coins.Looking up at Guangyao Renjian, he said, "Which mining area does Brother Guangyao like?"

Guangyao Renjian is not an idiot, he immediately understood the meaning of Qin Zhou's question, in order to avoid competition, it is better not to choose the same mining area, it is impossible to eat them all with his current strength, he can only choose the one he thinks is suitable.Said: "The E mine area and the Geng mine area."

Qin Zhou was shocked, not only Guangyao Renjian also took a fancy to the Geng mining area, but also from Guangyao Renjian's words, he could know that his financial resources were by no means inferior to his own, as expected, there were many masters.But even so, he didn't want to give up, and said, "I've also taken a fancy to the Geng mining area."

Zhou Qianshan laughed aloud and said: "The two young heroes have the same views as heroes. This county will give you an idea, and the one with the highest price will get it."

Guangyao Renjian's face is a bit ugly, is this an idea?This is taking advantage of the fire, but there is no way to do it, and said coldly: "I bid 81 gold coins."

"84 gold coins." Qin Zhou immediately followed up.Unlike Guangyao Renjian, he is very clear about the profits of the Geng mining area, which is bound to be obtained.

"85 gold coins." Guangyao Renjian added 1. He knew that unless he had the absolute financial resources to buy all the mining areas, buying only a part of them would be a kind of gambling. He is cautious.

"90 gold coins." Qin Zhou followed up.

Guangyao Renjian hesitated for a moment, and did not continue to shout the price. He had a feeling that even if he shouted 180 million gold coins, Qin Zhou would still follow, so he chose to give up.

"Lord County Magistrate, I want to buy the Wu mine area and the Ji mine area. I wonder what kind of discounts the lord can give me?" Guangyao Renjian stepped back and said.

Zhou Qianshan smiled slightly and said: "This county can give you 34 guards to help you guard the mining area, level 80."

When Guangyao Renren heard that it was just a gift of guards, his face was a little ugly. When he heard that it was level 80, his ugly face immediately turned into surprise. What kind of concept is an 80-level guard? Absolutely invincible in the early stage, you can kill it instantly The existence of BOSS, and there are still 34, is definitely comparable to the strength of a gang.

"Thank you, magistrate." Guangyao Renjian said happily.

After Guangyao Renjian left, Master Liu was still smiling, 340 million gold coins, this is a big deal.

Without the existence of Guangyao Human, Qin Zhou was very successful in buying the mining area. He spent 150 million gold coins to buy the Geng mining area, Xin mining area and the Kuai land in the Elf Plain.The scope of the land in the Elf Plain is a square with a side length of 100 kilometers and a price of 10 gold coins.Zhou Qianshan was very generous. He not only gave the land to Qin Zhou, but also gave him all the trees and herbs on the land. It was a buy one get one free. In addition, there were 15 guards at level 80.

What surprised Qin Zhou the most was that it only consumed 200 points of prestige, which was much cheaper than buying shops in the city. He was worried that the prestige was not enough.When he walked out of the government office, there was only 1513826 gold coins left in the account, but Qin Zhou believed that this number would rise rapidly soon.
