Chapter 153 Five Major Corps Are Established! New Map Is Officially Opened!
"This is the secret recipe for refining special herbal seeds!"
The twin sisters of the Flower Fairy were surprised. Although it was only the first level, it was of blue quality. Even in a large star city-state like Shengcang City, the value of each recipe of this quality is usually around three to five thousand magic crystals.
The chief alchemist Bai Mu mastered the refining of two attribute medicines, Dragon Pattern Bone Strengthening Pill and Dragon Pattern Blood Essence Pill.
If the materials can be cultivated in batches, it will be of great significance and enough to be made into the flagship product of the Luoshui City Alchemy Workshop!
From driving the performance of the entire workshop to take off, it will be of great benefit to Uncle Bai Mu and the two sisters, and it will also increase the foundation of the territory and enhance competitiveness!
Hang Yu: "I found these two recipes when I returned to Shengcang City this time. Their market price is 6,000 magic crystals. I can give them to you sisters at a price of 3,000 magic crystals."
The most important thing for the management team is to distinguish rewards and punishments.
Although the Flower Fairy sisters are employees of the territory, Hang Yu cannot directly give them the recipes for free without outstanding contributions, otherwise it will be unfair to other employees.
Take Bai Mu for example.
The medicine formula he mastered was learned at his own expense.
It would be unfair to Bai Mu if the two sisters got the high-value formula for free.
Of course, Hang Yu would not sell it to employees at the original price, and would make money in this way. After all, employees are creating value for themselves and have signed long-term contracts with the territory. As a boss, he should also share part of the training costs as a benefit to win people's hearts.
When Hang Yu bought two formulas from a lich lord, the market price was indeed 6,000 magic crystals, but it was bargained down to 5,000 magic crystals. Now it is transferred for 3,000 magic crystals, and the two sisters will definitely not suffer any loss.
This fee can be paid on credit and paid back slowly in the future, or deducted with contributions.
"Thank you, Lord, for your cultivation!" The two sisters were very excited. Although the formula was not free, even a fool knew that this was definitely a benefit that would make a profit without loss!
Let's not talk about it for now.
This ability will not disappear without a time limit.
Even if something unexpected happens in the territory in the future and they can't continue to work here, this is an ability that will not be lost. When looking for a job, they can write it in their resume, so as to gain higher workplace competitiveness and treatment.
Once the two successfully cultivate a batch of seeds, the performance of the alchemy workshop may double or triple in the future, and this learning cost and price can be easily earned back!
Isn't it just 3,000 magic crystals?
Hua Yue and Hua Xing sisters are from the largest flower demon family in Sheng Cang City.
This magic crystal is nothing to them, they don't even need to buy on credit and can pay it off directly.
As for using contribution points to offset magic crystals?
That's absolutely impossible, only a fool would do such a thing!
Although the territory occasionally opens the service of magic crystal recharge contribution points, this benefit is not common and is limited, but contribution points can almost be exchanged for abyss essence, and the value of the two is not at the same level at all.
Hang Yu asked: "How many seeds can you cultivate at most in a day?"
Hua Yue replied: "If the raw materials are sufficient, we can refine about 500 seeds a day with our current cultivation and full work."
Five hundred seeds per person, one thousand seeds for two people, and ten thousand seeds in ten days!
This speed is already very fast!
Of course, this is only a theoretical speed.
As for the actual output, it is difficult to say whether it can reach such a number.
First of all, the two kinds of herbal seeds cannot be conjured out of thin air. First, a batch of basic seeds suitable for transformation must be prepared, and then the essence and bones of dragon monsters can be used as raw materials to refine them.
Basic seeds are not difficult to buy.
There are several common herbal seeds that can be used.
The key is that the essence and bones of dragon monsters are relatively rare.
The materials obtained by the Scourge Army from killing the earth dragon mount of the Dragon Lizard Lord Chi Lin have been directly refined into pills. Otherwise, they can be used to cultivate seeds and then produce materials for refining medicine, which can at least increase the output by dozens of times, which is really a pity.
There is no better way for the time being.
It can only be purchased in the trading market.
There are 10,000 human lords in this trading market, and behind them are 10,000 territories in different planes. There will always be some territories where dragon beasts appear and can provide some materials.
In addition to materials.
There is also the problem of spiritual fields.
Luoshui main city has a total of two spiritual fields.
Dragon lizard lord Chilin left three spiritual fields in Baihu City.
In other words, Hang Yu now has a total of five spiritual fields, but these spiritual fields are all small spiritual fields of the first level. Each spiritual field can plant 1,500 red moon grass and blue moon grass at the same time, or plant 100 dragon pattern spiritual ginseng at the same time.
As for dragon blood grass and dragon bone grass.
The material quality and spiritual energy requirements are similar to those of dragon pattern spiritual ginseng, and the growth cycle will be shorter.
This means that even if all five spiritual fields are planted with dragon blood grass and dragon bone grass, only 500 to 700 plants can be planted at a time. Under normal circumstances, it takes four to mature and meet the conditions for refining medicine.
This is just the output.
It's far from enough.
What's more, it's impossible for the territory to only grow these two kinds of herbs.
Hang Yu realized that it was not an easy task to build a territory industry. From formula collection to material cultivation to refining and production, each stage needs to be opened up.
The territory has too few spiritual fields and the scale is too small!
Hang Yu decided to build more spiritual fields in the territory next.
If the territory has 50 spiritual fields instead of five, then more than half can be used to grow attribute medicine raw materials, and the rest can be used to grow territory-based medicine materials.
Although the spiritual field blueprint is a relatively common blueprint, it is not easy to acquire a large number of such blueprints because the spiritual field can continuously create value.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
The accumulation of the territory industry is not a one-day effort.
Hang Yu opened the trading hall and began to publish trading information.
First of all, the current territory food reserves have exceeded 80,000 copies, and the daily net increase is also quite considerable, far exceeding the territory's needs. After all, the clan soldiers only have a total of 2,000 people.
Hang Yu decided to reserve about 30,000 food stocks in the territory, and take out at least 50,000 to sell in batches in the market, taking advantage of the current high food prices to convert them into magic crystals.
At the same time.
A large number of acquisition news were released.
Hang Yu's territory will purchase spiritual field drawings and dragon beast materials in the trading market for a long time. In addition to direct transactions with magic crystals, it also accepts the exchange of resources such as food, materials, and equipment.
In a blink of an eye.
Two days have passed.
Bai Mu, Hua Yue, Hua Xing, Yan Ling and other employees are very powerful. Taking advantage of the opening of magic crystal exchange benefits, they raised a lot of funds to indirectly purchase essence.
Although only two days have passed, 1.5 million essences have been divided successively, of which more than one million essences were exchanged with magic crystals, and the twin sisters of Hua Yao also directly settled the formula granting fees.
In just two days.
Just from the employees.
Hang Yu got 15,000 magic crystals.
This move not only supplemented the tight financial situation, but also trained employees to greatly improve their personal cultivation level and professional level. It can be said that it killed two birds with one stone and got what they needed!
The progress on the trading market is also good.
More than half of the 50,000 food items that Hang Yu put up for sale have been sold, and the total funds recovered have reached about 20,000 magic crystals.
The purchase of dragon beast blood and dragon beast bone materials is also relatively smooth.
At an average price of about 20 magic crystals per item, Hang Yu purchased a total of 325 first-level green quality dragon beast bone materials, plus 216 first-level green quality dragon beast blood materials.
Because there were not many dragon beast materials on the market, this wave of acquisitions directly led to a rapid increase in the price of materials, so Hang Yu stopped further acquisitions.
This time the materials cost 11,000 magic crystals.
Each material can cultivate 20-30 seeds.
This investment of more than 10,000 magic crystals can at least turn into more than 10,000 seeds, which has fully met the needs in the short term, so there is no need to continue to purchase more and more expensive materials.
Hang Yu calculated.
The cost of each dragon blood grass and dragon bone grass seed is no more than 1 magic crystal, and the cost of each dragon pattern spiritual ginseng seed is 2-3 magic crystals. Because dragon pattern spiritual ginseng is a very versatile material, it has a large trading volume in the market, the supply and price are sufficient, and there is no need to cultivate it yourself.
In this way, even if the labor cost is added, the gross cost of each dragon pattern blood essence pill and dragon pattern bone strengthening pill can be compressed to less than 5 magic crystals.
Hang Yu learned through the market.
The price of each attribute medicine of this grade has never been lower than 50 magic crystals, and the price of 60 or 70 magic crystals is also relatively common.
If the territory can stably produce these two attribute medicines, then in theory, it can at least achieve a gross profit of about ten times. Selling 100 pills can earn 5,000 magic crystals, and selling 1,000 pills can earn 50,000 magic crystals.
After the account is calculated.
Hang Yu is excited.
The medicine refining business is indeed a cash cow.
But now the biggest problem is production capacity.
Hang Yu couldn't sell all the attribute medicines he produced. He had to reserve some for the people in the territory, at least the supply for the Scourge Legion was not enough.
If the territory only had five small spiritual fields, even if there were sufficient seeds and medicine refining capacity, it would be difficult to meet the supply in a short time.
So if you want to make money from this industry.
You have to increase the land output!
Hang Yu's acquisition of spiritual fields in the past two days was also fruitful. He exchanged 4,000 magic crystals + 50 forging essence stones for a blueprint, and received a blueprint from another lord with 80 green inventory equipment + 20 second-level gem materials.
The number of spiritual fields in the territory increased from 5 to 7.
Although the land output increased, it was still far from enough.
This gave Hang Yu a headache. Although the spiritual field was a very low-level first-level white blueprint, there was a high probability that it could be opened from the lowest-level fortune treasure box.
This kind of blueprint should have a high output, but because it has the characteristics of a cash cow that continuously creates value, no lord would dislike having too much land in his territory.
Because even if you don't have the ability to create high value-added and profitable products, you can earn some hard work fees even if you import seeds to cultivate mature herbs and sell them directly.
That's why.
Spiritual field drawings have never been cheap.
They are often even sold at sky-high prices.
Most of the time, you can't buy them even if you have money.
Hang Yu was lucky to receive two spiritual field drawings in two days. He will continue to post acquisition information in the trading market, hoping to gradually accumulate more drawings.
"Xiao Ba, report the current territory resource reserves!"
"Yes, Master!"
Xiao Ba reported: "The current available resources in the territory are: 21,000 Abyss Magic Crystals, 37,000 first-level food, 3,544 second-level food, 82,000 first-level materials, 116,000 first-level material essences, 91,000 second-level material essences, 6,901 gray equipment, 5,267 white equipment, 98 green equipment... About 2.019 million Abyss Essence!"
The above are the available inventory resources.
The so-called available resources are the deduction of the advance payment.
For example, Hang Yu took out 50,000 portions of food to sell in the trading market, and there are still more than 20,000 portions that have not been sold. This part of the pre-expenditure cashed-in resources is not included in Xiao Ba's statistics.
Another example is that Hang Yu plans to spend 3 million essences to train territory employees, so that employees can get the benefits of exchanging magic crystals for essences. At present, there are more than one million of this budget that has not been used and has not been included in the statistics.
"Not bad!"
During this period, the expenditure on first-level material essence is very large. On the one hand, the large-scale upgrading and transformation of the territory consumes a lot of energy and gives priority to the use of first-level materials. On the other hand, the number of players has increased rapidly, and daily strengthening, repairing and refining equipment are also an increasing expenditure.
Territory management is a complex subject.
One of the most important tasks is resource coordination.
Hang Yu needs to adjust the development of the territory at any time according to the resource reserves. For example, as the player level increases, the amplification time brought by ordinary first-level food will be shortened.
If the player is promoted to the third level.
First-level food has almost no amplification effect.
At this time, the demand for second-level and even third-level food will increase, and the current second-level food inventory in the territory is less than 5,000.
In order to avoid the shortage of high-level food in the future, Hang Yu needs to prepare for the rainy day and release more second-level food material collection tasks to encourage players to hunt second-level monsters that will explode food to increase inventory.
"What is the current player level distribution?"
"Report to the master, the current Scourge Army has a total of 1,930 people, including 10 level 14 players, 21 level 13 players, 39 level 12 players, 95 level 11 players, 382 level 8-10 players, 621 level 5-7 players, 724 level 3-5 players, and 38 level 1-2 players!"
There are 165 second-level players.
There are still three days before the opening of the Wancheng map.
It is estimated that the number of second-level players can reach about 200 by then.
There have been no large-scale activities or large-scale tasks recently, and it is very good that players can grow so fast.
The player level is constantly rising.
The amount of energy harvested every day is also rising.
Of course, it is not difficult to see from the level distribution that there are also some poor players among the two thousand Scourge Army.
It has been almost four days since the arrival of the last batch of second-test players, but 38 players are still only level 1-2.
They are either pure life parties who have no interest in killing monsters, but like to experience life, or even move bricks and farm, or they are both bad and love to die repeatedly, resulting in low levels.
Hang Yu has no intention of interfering with this.
When the number of players becomes large enough, there will always be some poor players and poor players for various reasons. There is no need to deprive the game qualification because the opponent is too poor or too poor. As long as the proportion of poor players is not large, it is normal.
Non-combat players.
It is not useless.
Take the Great Wall for example.
He has not killed many monsters since entering the game, but relying on various infrastructure tasks, he has also reached level 8 or 9, right? Hang Yu believes that the world of Abyss Three Kingdoms is large enough to accommodate all kinds of players to live here!
"The new map is about to be opened."
"I'd better warm up."
Hang Yu considered that the Wancheng map would be opened within three days. In order to further motivate players to upgrade as soon as possible, he specially released an announcement on the official website.
The name of this announcement is:
"Announcement of the launch of the Wancheng expansion pack and the Corps system!"
In this announcement, Hang Yu answered several topics that have attracted the most attention from players as an official and planner.
First, the content of the new expansion pack: the new map "Wancheng" is officially released!
However, he did not announce any details because he did not know the specific details.
Secondly, the Corps system that players are particularly concerned about. Since this new feature was mentioned in the third test preview, players have never stopped discussing it, and everyone is very curious and looking forward to it.
Hang Yu simply announced the regulations.
First, the characterization of the Corps and basic privileges were announced:
The Scourge Corps is part of the Scourge Army. Each Corps should guarantee the overall interests of the Scourge Corps and the territory. As the supreme leader of the Scourge Corps, the Lord has the right to disband any unqualified Corps at any time or replace the Corps Leader.
As for what are the benefits of establishing a Corps?
The basic privileges currently given are as follows:
1. Each Scourge Corps can have its own garrison and sphere of influence, as well as its own barracks or even camps and towns, which are mainly obtained through competition or merit.
2. The Scourge Corps can build its own Corps Essence Pool. When Corps members obtain Essence through hunting, they can deposit 0-5% of the Essence they obtain in the core of the territory for internal distribution by the Corps Leader or senior management.
3. The Scourge Corps can unlock some Corps-exclusive props, such as special Essence Contracts, and can also accept some Corps-level group tasks.
4. The Scourge Army will announce the corps contribution ranking, which will be reset every once in a while. The higher the corps' contribution to the territory, the more privileges and rewards it can get, and it can also get special rewards from the lord.
5. The corps is divided into levels, and the higher the level, the more privileges it can get.
6, ...
7, ...
The rest of the rules and details are to be determined.
As for how to set up a corps? Hang Yu also gave a detailed explanation in this post. Only after successfully applying to become a corps leader can you be eligible to establish your own corps, and the basic conditions for applying for a corps leader are very simple and there are only two.
1. The personal contribution value of the corps leader must be in the top 1% of the entire Scourge Corps!
2. The corps leader can formally establish a level 1 corps by paying 200,000 contribution points at one time, and 1,000 contribution points are required for each formal member recruited.
This is the basic corps system of the territory.
The main purpose of Hang Yu's establishment of the corps is to create a system of internal healthy competition and player autonomy, which can not only motivate players to cooperate with each other to a greater extent, but also greatly facilitate territory management.
If there is no corps system.
As the number of players increases.
Now a few thousand people can still be barely coordinated.
But when the number reaches tens of thousands, even tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, the difficulty of managing the entire team will increase significantly. After all, each player is an independent individual, each player has independent ideas, and most of them are independent and full of uncertainty.
Under this situation.
The best way is to turn the pieces into a whole.
Select a group of corps leaders from the players.
Most of these players who can serve as corps leaders are the best among the players. They are quite prestigious and even have companies and teams to support management. Only in this way can the role of each player be fully developed.
Hang Yu does not need to manage every player in detail. He only needs to manage these corps leaders well. Coordinating the development of the territory from a general direction is enough to ensure the efficiency and execution of the Scourge.
In addition, after the corps appear.
Competition will inevitably occur among the corps.
This process may evolve into some contradictions.
The possibility of hatred and confrontation between corps exists.
But as the supreme ruler of the Scourge, Hang Yu has the right to disband any corps and replace any corps leader, so he is fully capable of controlling the intensity of internal struggles within the scope of healthy competition.
Appropriate competition between players.
It is also conducive to overall development.
It can even greatly increase Hang Yu's income.
The most ideal state is to fight without breaking, fight without hatred, and fight each other for the honor of the corps. But once the territory or the Scourge encounters an external threat, the corps that were fighting the day before can immediately fight side by side to fight the enemy.
This requires Hang Yu to further improve the corps system.
It also requires him to balance and exert influence at any time as a lord.
No need to think.
After the announcement.
It immediately aroused discussion among the majority of players.
"Official announcement!"
"Everyone go and check it out!"
"It's still hot after it's just been released!"
"Fuck, the official has revealed the next map in advance, and it's the famous Wancheng!"
"Wancheng, where three sages were killed with one shot? The specifications are so high, will we meet Cao Cao this time?"
"No way, Emperor Wu of Wei is as popular and powerful as Guan Yu. Guan Yu has become a god in this game, and Cao Cao is probably about the same. I don't know if he is an evil god or a righteous god!"
"Although the map is Wancheng, it may not be the Wancheng during the Battle of Wancheng. I feel that Boss Cao may not appear. After all, it's too early for us to fight against such a character!"
"What are you afraid of? Even if you meet him, it's just a clone at most. How can Cao Cao's real body appear in Wancheng!"
"In fact, I am more interested in Jia Xu and Dian Wei. One is a poisonous scholar and the other is a fierce general. They are both top-notch beauties in the Three Kingdoms. If these two people appear, their strength may not be comparable to Zhou Cang and Zhang Bao."
"Not necessarily. The strength of a character is not entirely related to his luck and aptitude. It also depends on the time they have spent practicing and growing. The most specific manifestation is the level of the character!"
"Is a Pan Feng above level 30 definitely weaker than a Guan Yu at level 10?"
"Yes, a Zhang Bao who has been growing and practicing in the abyss for forty years is not necessarily weaker than a first-class character who has practiced for five or ten years!"
"That's what I said, but according to the inertia of the game, the level of the map will only be higher than one. Wancheng has been eroded by the abyss for a long time, so the characters and monsters in it are more crazy and twisted, and the levels are higher than Woniu Mountain will only be higher!"
"Look forward to it!"
"I can't wait!"
"..."
"Don't just discuss the new map!"
"Does no one care about the official launch of the Corps system?"
"I see, the competition between several big guys is finally about to kick off!"
"I have joined the War God Temple of big guy Ye Limeng. Our War God Temple has a large number of people, high welfare, and a complete organization. There is no doubt that it will be the first organization in the game. Welcome everyone to join us and hug the big guy's thighs together!"
Although the threshold to become a Corps Leader is not low.
But there are many players who meet the conditions and have the ability to establish a Corps.
Ye Limeng, Hei Tong Ruige, Jiubei Wangyue, Xiao Lingdang, King Arthur and other players, after seeing this announcement, officially announced the news of the establishment of a Corps in the forum.
Ye Limeng's Corps is called the War God Temple. It is said that this is the name of the first union he joined in the game. Now his goal is to make the War God Temple the largest force in the Three Kingdoms.
He has been preparing for this for a long time, so his team has the largest number of people. At present, the backbone members around him include: Guzhou, Kuangdao Lao Wang, Niu Shisan, Xiao Ma Ge, Huimu, Ning Caichen II, Guanghui Years and other well-known masters.
The group of Hei Tong Rui Ge is called Free Wings. Although Hei Tong Rui Ge's appeal is not as good as Ye Limeng, his team also has masters such as Xianyu Tuo, Kuangkan Yijie, Midnight Pig Killer, and Artist Pai Zong. The number is small but very elite.
Xiao Lingdang also announced that she would set up a group. The name of her group is Shenyu Palace. The main members are: Chenxi, Chimei Wangliang, Qingyi Fox, Hua Mulan, Qingchen, Miaolege Mi, etc. What is more interesting and characteristic is that they are all female players.
Shenyu is Yushen in turn.
It can be seen that the leader is a loyal fan of the lord.
In addition, there are also Jiubei Wangyue who announced the establishment of the Immortal Dragon Soul Group, and overseas player King Arthur announced the establishment of the Ragnarok Group.
However, the reputation and fame of Jubeiwangyue are too different from those of the previous few. King Arthur is not even qualified to be the head of the corps. Naturally, these quasi-corps have no big bosses to join, so they are not very popular for the time being.
For a while.
Each quasi-corps became the latest topic.
Three days passed quickly in various preparations and discussions.
Most of the essence that Hang Yu distributed to the employees of the territory was digested, and tens of thousands of food were basically sold out. In addition, more than 2,000 pieces of white equipment were sold, and a large amount of funds were successfully recovered. The current magic crystal reserve has reached about 60,000, and the essence reserve is also more than 3 million.
It’s a pity that no more spiritual field drawings have been received in the past few days.
The number of second-level players in the Scourge Army is about to reach 200.
Hang Yu only felt that the preparations had been almost done, and the Abyss Key was about to reach its expiration date. It was time to open a new map and push the territory and the Scourge Army into the next stage!
(ps: A new month! A new beginning! Asking for a wave of monthly ticket support!)
