Chapter 2168: No Tears Until the Coffin Is Revealed

Because apart from the survivors, other NPCs don't have fishing rods. Although there are hundreds of people in an alliance, everyone knows that 90% of them are NPCs.

Either they are caught by fishing or they are bought through the trading platform.

And these people don't have fishing rods, only the real survivors have them, so many forces don't have many fishing rods.

With fewer fishing rods, there are fewer things to fish, and naturally the materials obtained will be much less.

Especially if you want to innovate, the materials needed are often hundreds or even thousands of times more than the materials used to make this thing.

Of course, this is still good luck, or their forgers are very high.

Otherwise, even if they fail tens of thousands of times, it is normal.

After all, every innovative thing will become a hit and will bring them countless wealth.

So once it can be developed, the resources consumed before will be earned back in a short time.

It's just that although everyone understands this truth, they lack fishing rods, and even if they have fishing rods, they are not 100% able to fish up the materials you need.

Most of the time, materials can only be purchased through the world channel.

If it is some ordinary materials, it may not cost much to purchase.

But if it is a rare material, the price will naturally not be cheap.

Especially when you find that you need a large amount of this material, these selling forces are not fools, and they naturally understand that the value of this thing must be high, otherwise you would not have purchased it for so many days and would not demand so much at once.

At this time, even if this thing is not valuable, they will take this opportunity to rip you off and make a lot of money.

It is precisely because of so many factors that the difficulty of innovation has risen sharply.

It may even cause you to succeed in innovation, but you cannot produce because you cannot buy materials.

So over time, everyone gave up on innovation.

Because the price paid for innovation not only makes them unable to make money, but also puts them at risk of bankruptcy.

They originally wanted to accelerate the development of their forces, but because of this innovation, their forces have regressed instead of advancing.

So for those forces that are mainly engaged in business like the Chamber of Commerce, they might as well just follow the path of imitation and make as much money as they can from copycat products.

After all, the business alliance has already succeeded, and with the road paved by predecessors, they just need to follow.

So for them, there is already a successful road, why spend time on a wrong road that you don’t know whether it will succeed.

Instead of waiting until you hit the wall and turn back, it is better to stop at the cliff earlier, so that is the kingly way of development.

However, the problem of innovation mentioned just now is like a huge mountain blocking them in other forces, making it difficult for them to pass.

But such a situation will never happen in Jiang Tian’s business alliance. Let alone a huge mountain, even if there are ten or eight huge mountains, they can be easily flattened by the business alliance.

Because the most fatal problem of others, the most troublesome problem of lack of fishing rods, will never appear in Jiang Tian.

As long as he is willing, if he uses the skills given by the system, then Jiang Tian can copy a fishing rod every day.

But Jiang Tian did not do so. For him, using skills in this way is a waste, and it is a waste of the rewards given by the system.

Because even if there are more fishing rods, you can not necessarily get what you want.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such polarization between the European emperor and the non-European emperor.

So even if you have a fishing rod, it still depends on luck to catch good things.

Some people are lucky, and the items they catch in one fishing trip may be worth hundreds of thousands of gold and iron ore, which is what people often call the European emperor's possession.

But if you meet someone with bad luck, the items they get in one fishing trip may be worth tens or hundreds of kilograms of iron ore, which is what people often call the non-European emperor's possession.

So the same fishing, the same materials, but the value of the things they catch is thousands or tens of thousands of times different.

So if you fish according to such luck, then even if you give the non-European emperor 1,000 fishing rods, he may not be as valuable as the European emperor with one fishing rod.

Of course, this is just an analogy, mainly to tell everyone that fishing rods are indeed indispensable, but if you don't have good luck, you spend the copy skill on the fishing rod, which is definitely more harmful than beneficial.

Later, after a period of experimentation, Jiang Tian knew how to use the copy skill to maximize the benefits.

Otherwise, if you only copy fishing rods but cannot catch good things due to luck, it would be a waste of this skill. It would be better to use the skill to copy something more valuable and more conducive to the development of power.

So Jiang Tian finally gave up copying fishing rods after copying hundreds of fishing rods.

Because this number is enough for him to cover the entire range of fishing in the base camp.

Otherwise, if everyone sits in one place to fish, it is very likely that several fishing rods will fish for the same item at the same time.

In this way, regardless of whether the items caught are valuable or not, the number of fishing times and a large amount of manpower and material resources are wasted.

Of course, the most important thing is that such a copying skill can only be used once a day, so of course it should be spent on the most valuable things.

For example, some rare materials, or a finished high-end product, are rare.

Even fishing is not just about fishing. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to fish for several months or even half a year, or even longer.

Of course, even if you are lucky, it will take at least one month to fish for such precious materials.

For the current Sky Island world, this time is definitely not a short number.

After all, time is money, especially when everyone is just starting out and just developing. No one wants to waste time on fishing for an item, and naturally hopes to catch as many items as possible.

Even if the value of such an item is not so precious, as long as the total amount exceeds the value of the item, they will not lose money.

But again, these situations can only occur in other forces. For Jiang Tian, ​​who has the copying skill, such problems will naturally not occur.
