Chapter 9 Transaction
Then the earthen jar threw the insect into the open space behind. Well, to be precise, that was where he was going to dig the foundation for the new building.
Then he started the summoning ceremony... and found a bunch of enemies to help him dig the foundation. Everything was so flawless!
Hearing this, Du Yuqi couldn't help rolling his eyes, and then couldn't help saying:
"How much does it cost to hire someone to dig the foundation? He made a sacrifice like this to summon ten people to help him dig the foundation. The cost is probably ten times that of a construction worker."
Bwante said:
"My people happened to come to Hedunmar not long ago. There seems to be some unrest on the mainland recently. There are often news of various mutant creatures appearing and attacking people. There was even a phenomenon of business routes being cut off. The problem is that as soon as the army passed by, it I can’t find any reason, but after killing those mutated creatures, they will continue to appear after a while.”
"A transportation hub city like Hutton Mar relies on smooth roads and a steady flow of goods. Once there are problems with the roads extending in all directions, the decline of the city can be reduced, so the city government has specially allocated With the money raised, fixed posts were built at regular intervals on the road, which could effectively protect the safety of the caravans. "
"It is precisely because of this that the prices of construction workers and construction materials in Hutton Mar are soaring. Why do earthen jars collect all the excavated soil? It is also because of this consideration, so the cost of construction workers has always been It’s rising.”
After listening to Buwante's explanation, Du Yuqi still found it a bit difficult to accept, but then he heard Buwante say again:
"The increase in construction costs is one of the reasons. The identity of Tutan is very mysterious, and he comes from an ancient family. Therefore, the worship of the God of Contract has been accumulated over time, so it seems like he Such high-level believers will have the privilege of making sacrifices that do not require casting materials several times a year, and there is a time limit.”
"If such a large-scale sacrifice summoning requires relevant casting materials, it will definitely be very expensive. However, if Tucan uses the sacrifice privilege that does not require casting materials, then he only needs to take it out himself. The sacrifices are attractive, and the earthen pots that come out are his own homemade pocket pots, which cost very little, so if you calculate it this way, it is certainly more cost-effective than hiring workers. "
Du Yuqi was a little confused at first, but he quickly thought of one thing, that is, the last time he sacrificed an item with the power of time, he received two response priorities, and there seemed to be no time limit. If you put it this way, a guy like Tuguan who has been passed down for five generations must have a very rich heritage. Obtaining the privilege of offering sacrifices without casting materials several times is not a particularly remarkable thing.
Then Buwant took the initiative to talk about his purpose of responding to the call this time, and that he deliberately came to oppose the earthen pot.
"I usually don't respond to summons. If I didn't practice the family's secret method to communicate with the Icetooth Clan, I wouldn't even be qualified to be summoned... Uh, sorry, I'm going too far, mainly because A month ago, one of my cousins was tricked by this earthen pot fifth generation. The contract of sacrifice said that he was to escort a batch of goods to the west coast. In fact, it was because something happened to his convoy and my cousin was asked to go. My brother went to pull the cart and trudged in the mud for three days! "
"How can we Bantu tribesmen be subjected to such humiliation? That's why I came here specifically to say this for my cousin. Fortunately, this guy Tugu still has some sense. Otherwise, see how I deal with him!"
Du Yuqi felt speechless after hearing this. This earthen pot was really cunning. He actually played tricks in the summoning of sacrifices and asked people to help him pull the cart... Speaking of which, he encountered such a situation. The job of digging holes is considered a blessing in misfortune.
At this time, Du Yuqi had realized that Buwante was very knowledgeable, so he said that he was summoned from another world.
What should I do if I want to stay in the Arad continent for a while longer?
Buwant told Du Yuqi that the most difficult and energy-consuming step in summoning is actually the process of opening the plane channel, even if it is a summoned object from another world, after passing through the plane channel. In fact, it is equivalent to being accepted by this plane. Staying for one minute or one day does not cost much.
The time that the summoned object stays in the plane is determined by the rarity of the casting materials consumed when the summoner sacrifices it. The more the casting materials consumed and the rarer, the longer the summoned object can stay.
At the same time, the summoner's status with the God of Contract will also determine the length of time the summoned object stays.
Of course, there is another decisive factor, and that is the will of the summoner. Obviously the summoned object can stay for three days, but the summoner feels it is inappropriate and only allows the summoned object to stay for one minute, so it can only stay for one minute.
Buwanga finally told Du Yuqi that there is a saying that people are not accustomed to the climate. If a person goes to a distant place, various problems will easily occur, anh.comoo, not to mention the changes in the environment between planes? So usually, even if the situation permits, you should not stay in an alien plane for too long.
After the two talked for a while, Du Yuqi got enough information and made up his mind. He threw the remaining half pack of cigarettes to Buwant, and then said that he wanted to go for a walk. He was probably just shopping. After walking for a few minutes and walking two shops, I heard the shouts of earthen jars urging work to begin.
It turned out that this guy saw that the sun was almost gone at noon, so he was impatient to urge the group to continue "looking for monsters". The others probably understood what the bastard Tuguan wanted to do, but this guy always brought up the contract to make things happen. The lunch was also very enjoyable, with wine and meat. Under the combination of soft and hard tactics, the minotaur and goblin obediently surrendered.
This person naturally couldn't accomplish anything without unity, so the group had to accept it and continue to dig holes honestly, comforting themselves that they didn't have to take any risks in responding to the call this time. As for the consumed strength, it would grow back like the leaves of the thunder tree after a good sleep.
However, after Du Yuqi understood what Tu Guan wanted to do and learned about the local prices, he naturally would not be stupid enough to dig a pit here. He directly pulled Tu Guan V to a secluded corner and said:
"Dear Mr. Tu Guan, I have a suggestion."
Tu Guan looked at Du Yuqi with a vigilant look, as if he was looking at a mouse that broke into his own rice jar. He covered his trouser pockets before saying:
"What suggestions do you have?"
