The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 54
Watching Fang Ziyi go away, Zhang Qiang looked back, and the real problem was in front of him again.

The supply has dried up.

What should we do?

A novice player wearing a miner's tattered clothes came over, "Do you also collect ore here?"

"Ore?" Zhang Qiang frowned.

He has never touched this.

"Take it out and have a look," Zhang Qiang said.

"Black iron ore, the quality is low, and the NPC purchase price is 1 copper coin." As soon as he saw the ore in the miner's hand, Zhang Qiang obtained the transaction information of the item with his level five trading skills.

The leader of the Rose Knights came over, "Brother, this is the worst black iron ore. It is usually used by players who have just changed their profession to the blacksmith profession. Whether it is a player or an NPC, there is no shortage of these things. Like the fagots of the lumberjacks in the early days, they were of no use at all except for cooking and cooking."

"Is there any other higher-grade ore?" Zhang Qiang asked.

The novice player looked distressed, and rummaged through the bamboo basket on his back for a long time before finding a piece of dark ore and handing it to Zhang Qiang.

"Mysterious iron ore is of poor quality. NPC purchases it for 5 copper coins. It is generally used to make low-grade agricultural tools, kitchen knives for household use, and some people use it as stepping stones."

"This," Zhang Qiang really has nothing to say. With such a low price and such quality, even if he sells it to an NPC with his own trading skills, there will be no profit. A few soldiers have to pay wages, and two mules and horses have to pay. For food, now that the Rose Knights have joined my team, I can't treat them badly. In the future, both the Rose Knights and my own soldiers will need to change their equipment. This ore is obviously not profitable.

The miner seems to be not a simple person. Seeing Zhang Qiang's embarrassment, he said: "Brother, we are novices, and we can only dig ore of this quality at present. To be honest, we also need money. You see Can you help us a little bit, so that we can buy better mining hoes, so that we can improve our proficiency and dig out good ore faster."

"You?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Yes, we have a total of more than 70 people, all of whom are students at school. We entered the game together, hoping to make a breakthrough in the game, but I didn't expect that this game was not about fighting monsters and upgrading, but about making life easier. Occupation, this makes us feel very headache, but there is no way, everyone has already bought a game helmet, if you don’t earn back the money from the game helmet, everyone will lose money. I heard that after this period of time, you can level up and fight monsters That's it, that's all."

"Do you have more than 70 people?" Zhang Qiang looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah, there are beauties and nerds," he smiled wildly.

Zhang Qiang also laughed, "What occupations do you have other than miners?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"There are too many," said the novice miner. "We have planters, herbalists, loggers, fishermen, and other life occupations. There are more than 20 people, and there are two or three people. There are all walks of life."

"Then, do any of you have changed from the class of serfs to middle-level life occupations, such as doctors, carpenters, blacksmiths, tailors and sailors, people with these occupations?"

The novice miner shook his head, "We have only entered the game for more than half a month, and everyone is just familiar with this game. You have also seen that 1 copper coin, 1 dinar needs 1 copper coins, and we need tens of millions of copper coins to change jobs. It can be so fast. The old man bought our black iron ore for 1 copper coin, and black iron ore for 5 copper coins. No one wants these ores anywhere."

"You have never thought about taking money from reality, exchanging it for dinars, and then leaving this class and rising to a class with more combat effectiveness, such as farmers. Haolai also has some combat effectiveness, and can still level up to level 5. On the way, I met Some robbers, wild wolves and so on, also have defensive capabilities." Zhang Qiang asked.

The novice miner looked excited, "We are all poor students. Those rich students have already left this class as you said, and went to fight monsters and upgrade. It's cool. And they all joined the criminals Faction, I heard that it is easy to join that faction, there is no restriction on contribution, a group of people rushed out, robbed the caravan, and robbed the nearby villager NPC, very cool."

"Then are there any players who have joined the civilian camp?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Yes, but not many. Although the combat power of the civilian camp players is stronger than that of the outlaws, there are too many constraints and too many contribution points are needed. This, that." The novice miner said.

"Are you a representative elected by everyone to test us?" the leader of the Rose Knights interrupted suddenly.

The novice miner said shyly: "Yeah, it's so interesting. Let's see if you can also collect the ore, so that we can find a way to make money."

Zhang Qiang listened silently, rubbing his hands under his chin, "Have you ever thought about hanging out with someone?"

The novice miner's intelligence is not low, "Brother, are you saying that you want to accept us and let us join your guild?"

Zhang Qiang shook his head and said, "I didn't set up a guild, I can only say that I want to meet some friends."

The novice miner said: "Brother, you really found the right person. Everyone seemed to join an organization early on. It was better than groping slowly like this. I saw you always followed a large group of Swa Soldier of the Kingdom of Dia, I thought you must be someone. Today I saw you with a few Rhodok soldiers and wearing the coat of arms only for nobles. Everyone thought that they should find you and hang out with you. Push me out and speak to you on their behalf."

The leader of the Rose Knights looked at Zhang Qiang, but Zhang Qiang was a little embarrassed, "It takes a lot of money to organize a group. What he lacks most now is money. He will recruit about 70 people at once. Where can he get so much money to support them?"

The novice miner said: "Brother, we don't need much money. We just need you to buy our ore one more copper coin than the NPC every day. Let us see a glimmer of hope. We will be grateful."

"Don't other novice players want to see hope?" Zhang Qiang suddenly changed his attitude and asked.

The novice player looked at him in astonishment, wondering why Zhang Qiang, who was so kind just now, would behave like this?
The novice miners got used to it, faced Zhang Qiang, and replied calmly: "Of course they want to see hope, but some of them may be poor players like us, and some of them may just want to practice life professions and make a fortune. They want to learn a life professional skill, practice it to an advanced level, and then make money through the product, but I want to say that they will never understand the essence of a game, which is to fight monsters and upgrade, and PK bullies people.”

Zhang Qiang suddenly lowered his head and smiled, and then said kindly: "Are there any pure professional players among you, that's the player with the second thought you mentioned."

Only then did the novice miner realize what Zhang Qiang was really thinking, and said, "Yes, not many, maybe there are only ten or twenty."

"Did you find them all?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Yes." The novice miner said, "Then if I call them, will you agree to my request?" The novice miner said.

"Definitely." Zhang Qiang said.

Watching the novice miners go away, the leader of the Rose Knights asked: "Dude, do you really want to set up a guild? Why do you want to recruit a group of professional players?"

Zhang Qiang said: "We have a large group of people, we can't live without some professional players, please provide us with supplies and materials, so I will support a group of professional players from now on."

When the novice miners found a group of people, Zhang Qiang signed a support agreement with them one by one. This kind of support agreement can be bought from the employment guild. It is a contractual agreement recognized by the kings and nobles of various kingdoms on the mainland. If these If someone violates the agreement, these people will be sold as slaves by Zhang Qiang, so there is still a certain degree of binding force.

It can be said that for this signing, there are people from all professions at the status level of serfs, so that Zhang Qiang at least has a living professional player in the raw material supply link.

"The agreement stipulates that:
Zhang Qiang provides them with a total of 1000 dinars every week, so that they can spend money and not be too poor.

If they want to change jobs to higher intermediate-level living occupations, Zhang Qiang will provide them with the money they need to change jobs, and the raw materials they harvest during this period will belong to Zhang Qiang.

If they don't want to do life jobs on that day, they can receive a reconciliation salary, and Zhang Qiang helps them pay the amount that needs to be handed over to the NPC to buy job transfer contribution points.Become a fighting profession.

If they still serve Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang will pay them a monthly wage equivalent to 3000 to 10000 yuan in reality. "

A total of 22 players signed an agreement with Zhang Qiang.

For the other 40 or so players, Zhang Qiang promised that they would buy one copper coin or two copper coins more for each item, and buy all the ore they dug, or the raw materials for life and occupation they obtained.

In this way, everyone has benefited, and there is joy.

The leader of the Rose Knights said: "Dude, do you have that much money?"

Zhang Qiang said: "There is always a way to make money slowly. But to find a group of people who are willing to cooperate with you, you don't come just by saying. Let's take the things they brought over first, and exchange them for an extra copper coin or two." Buy it at the price of copper coins, hey, how many days have they accumulated this stuff."

Zhang Qiang saw more than 70 people bring a lot of things.

From generation to generation, the wheat planted has piled up like mountains.

Basket after basket of low-grade ore.

Basket after basket of smoked fish.

Basket after basket of wild herbs.

The only thing that was useful to them was the large bundles of red willow and red pine, which Zhang Qiang could cash in immediately.

As for the bundles of flax on the ground, Zhang Qiang didn't know where to sell them?

Pieces of hide....

Zhang Qiang collapsed.

The leader of the Rose Knights said, "Head, we need to find a warehouse to store these things temporarily."

Zhang Qiang took four Rhodok soldiers to find the village chief of Ye Ruige. This village chief was much colder than the village chief of Pei Gangde, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as expressionless.

"Master Knight, what do you want to do in our village?" the village chief asked coldly.

"I want to find a warehouse in your village that can store goods. I wonder if there is such a place here, Mr. Village Chief." Zhang Qiang asked with a smile.

"This is not the territory of adults. If adults want to find a warehouse to store goods, they need to pay two parts of the money like merchants. One is the rent of the warehouse, 10 dinars per week, and the other is handed over to the territory. Master, Earl Starma's rental tax is 10 dinars." The village chief said coldly.

Zhang Qiang felt that he could bear it, so he agreed.

After paying the rental fee and taxes for a week, I rented a thatched hut at the entrance of the village as a warehouse, and put the things I didn't need temporarily into it.

After finishing all this, he, the Rose Knights and his soldiers put the received red willow and red pine on the pack horses and walked towards the city of Uxhall.

When they came to the city of Uxhall, they ran into trouble again.
