Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 258 Drogo is a sinister dragon
After the new regulations for Deepwater City were released, the construction teams showed amazing enthusiasm for work.

In just less than a month, the first factory and supporting residential area have taken shape.

There is a huge difference between building a house for someone else and building a house for your own use.

However, most tieflings have not yet decided to bring their families over. Whether or not to relocate their families depends on how Waterdeep develops.

As for the local villagers, Drogo still underestimated the purchasing power of silver coins here.

With a subsidy of ten silver coins and a reward of five silver coins for recruiting people, all the villages within a radius of hundreds of miles were emptied.

Since the number of people exceeded Drogo's expectations, they came but had no place to stay, so he had to ask them to go back and wait, while some temporary camps were urgently built here.

There is always a need for labor on the construction site, so the villagers were assigned simple physical work.

If you want to participate in more complex work and get higher remuneration, you are welcome to do so. Zhuoge Group provides training opportunities.

However, during the apprenticeship training period, there is no salary, but you can eat free meals in the cafeteria.

At first, the villagers were not satisfied with the treatment of the apprentices, but after tasting the food in the canteen, they immediately changed their minds. The treatment was so good, no, so great.

I'm not exaggerating, but the cafeteria of the Drogo Group, with the blessing of various spices cultivated by the druids and his mysterious oriental recipes, the ingredients are not as precious as those of the nobles, but they are definitely better in taste and richness.

This made the villagers have unrealistic fantasies about the food of the nobles in big cities.

If the food in the canteen at a construction site is so delicious, how delicious can the food for the nobles be?

In this regard, Zhuo Ge's comment was that if you try the salty, sour and smelly salt and vinegar taste, you will be fine.

The food from other countries might still have its merits, but the food of the Kingdom of Sutton was simply a complete taste cessation.

In addition to professional skills, another major task for apprentices is to adapt to and comply with the new work system.

Everyone works in groups, and the entire group is responsible for the actions of each team member. The completed work content must be registered and confirmed. The wages are composed of a small part of basic salary and a large part of performance-based salary. There is competition between groups, and excellent groups will receive additional rewards.

However, excessive competition, working overtime without permission during breaks, violating the safety manual in order to speed up work progress, etc. are prohibited. Such behaviors will not only not be rewarded, but will result in points being deducted.

In short, within the rules, the more you work, the more you earn.

Humans are a combination of hardworking and lazy animals. When they see no hope, they will inevitably fall into laziness.

When you realize that you can gain more by working harder, you will be surprised at how diligent you are.

For example, the villagers even took the initiative to ask for more working hours.

Drogo refused. Health is the foundation of everything. Besides, if he spends all his time working, how would he have time to spend?

Where there is consumption, there is a market. After nearly a thousand people gathered here, the merchant group responsible for transporting food and building materials immediately discovered business opportunities.

The first place to arrive was the post office. Mobile phones were not yet popular enough for everyone to own one, and if I wanted to mail something to my home, I couldn't do that with a mobile phone.

Then there are bars, small vendors, and local restaurants. The food in the canteen is delicious, but you get tired of it all the time, so you have to change your taste occasionally.

And, uh, software hardening engineers.

Most of them are a little older. The market is not good in big cities, so they can only develop remote markets or want to find an honest villager to marry.

Drogo did not ban this almost ancient profession in the territory.

It cannot be banned, as most areas of Waterdeep are now construction sites. As we all know, construction sites are usually tied to this industry.

So just pay the tax.

Drogo also did a rather unconventional good thing. He arranged physical examinations for the "engineers". It's okay to do business with them, but it's not okay to spread diseases and reduce the local labor force while doing business.

This industry is also a breeding ground for crime.

A gang from another city came here after smelling the scent, wanting to expand their territory.

Then the gang was gone.

Drogo was also very puzzled. Was it because the people in this remote area were not well-informed or something, that they dared to deliver the news to his doorstep?

When several gang members, riding on horses and holding flintlock rifles (they couldn't even afford to use percussion rifles), arrived at the construction site and angrily stated that this area would be under their control from now on, no one paid any attention to them.

To be honest, Drogo was embarrassed for them.

With the joint efforts of all parties, Deepwater City soon reached the scale of a small town, and the railway company also came to the door to build a railway line here.

Drogo welcomes everyone who wants to settle here, as long as they abide by the rules and build in the designated locations.

He also called in the former Northern Steward, Gerda, to do his old job and set up management departments for the "town-level city".

After the construction of Waterdeep was on track, Drogo returned to the Twin Towers.

He received a notice from the church stating that all members of the Mammon sect had been wiped out, and sent him a summary of the operation.

Drogo read it carefully. The evidence was sufficient and the process was detailed. If he had not made the trip himself, he might have really believed what the church said.

But in that summary, there was not a single mention of the machine used by the Ascendants to enter the space of consciousness.

Obviously the church does not want Drogo to come into contact with the Soul Ascender's technology.

Fortunately, he brought one back.

That device was handed over to the goblin team for study.

The goblins quickly figured out its principles, but they couldn't solve the problem of using living creatures as the core.

The only way to create one is to do what the Ascended Souls do, and stuff humans, demons, or tieflings into the machine.

Although it was not impossible for Drogo to find some death row prisoners to use as living materials, he still felt uncomfortable.

As a result, the research on Soul Ascender technology was temporarily put on hold, and the goblins first looked for alternative solutions to see if they could develop a consciousness access device that was less perverted.

He was not in a hurry either. If the Soul Ascender really wanted to create a god with a collective consciousness, the Goddess of Magic should be more anxious than him.

Now, he had another thing that also needed his attention.

Red Alert has been basically completed and is ready for trial play.

Drogo came to the prepared trial play area, where hundreds of sand tables had been installed.

This trial is an internal trial. In order to verify whether this new game type can be popular here, we invited hundreds of group employees, most of whom are members of the gaming association, to experience it.

The intensity of publicity and promotion will be decided based on the final feedback.

"No, why don't you give me a trial spot?"

Elsa, who was not invited but insisted on coming, protested to Drogo in dissatisfaction.

"I have worked hard for the group and I have shed blood for the group!"

"Ah? When have you ever shed blood for the group?"

"I never take time off during my period!"

"..."

Usually, dragons are very speechless when they are speechless.

"It's for your own good that I don't allow you to try it," Drogo explained earnestly, "This game is aimed at players who are not your kind. They have to be at least at the level of Barn Crucible."

"What's my level?" Aisha admitted that she was not good at the game, but she did not accept that Barn Furnace could be ranked ahead of her.

"If you're a bad player, your mentality will explode, but the worse Barn is, the more he likes to play."

In competitive gaming, there is always someone who will be the gaming experience for others.

Thanks to every excellent player who was beaten badly but still did not give up the game.

"Hey! Drogo! Come and play a game with me!" Barn's loud voice came from not far away.

Drogo knew that Baan meant to play a game with him, but the idea sounded strange for some reason.

Barn said confidently: "I have completed the novice tutorial. I am now incredibly strong!"

Five minutes later, Barn looked at the dismal failure screen and pulled at his beard.

"Why? You just started playing, and so did I. Why can't I even touch your building?"

Barn smashed the sand table, "Come again! I've learned your tricks!"

Drogo shook his paw dismissively. "You can't. Where is Toto? Call Toto to me!"

It's not that Drogo is arrogant. In fact, his level is not that good, but he has many tricks. He will bully the players here while they haven't figured it out yet, and of course he will bully the most powerful ones.

As soon as these words were spoken, the trial hall fell silent.

Are you going to challenge the invincible Toto?

Although as the base of game players grows, there have been some players who can challenge Toto in terms of talent, but because Toto's current job is to play games and she has game time that others can hardly reach, she is undoubtedly the strongest at present.

Hearing Drogo's greeting, Toto sighed first.

Tired.

Playing games with the leader, like playing ball or chess with the leader, is not entertainment but work.

Sometimes it's more brain-burning than work.

We need to make the leader feel comfortable, but we also need to prevent him from seeing that we are letting him off too obviously.

technical work.

And you can't refuse.

Toto had no choice but to join Drogo in his room.

In the Valley map, she used the human coalition camp, while Drogo chose the devil.

Toto prefers the human coalition. Although she has only played the game for less than an hour, she has already figured out some ways to play.

The forbidden techniques of the human coalition are more powerful, and they have more air units, so they feel stronger than the devils.

Testing the strength balance of different camps is also one of Toto's responsibilities. At present, it feels that the devil camp is at a disadvantage, and Drogo has chosen the devil.

It's very annoying, and it's more difficult to release the water.

The game begins.

Toto built the base, and then built the wizard tower, barracks, factory, and mine in turn.

Then build some soldiers and minecarts. The soldiers will guard the base, and the minecarts will speed up the collection of magic stone ore.

Based on the experience gained from the brief trial play just now, Toto believes that this is a game that tests development and operational capabilities, just like an auto chess game that removes the luck factor and requires more operation.

All units require magic stone resources to build, so the faster you mine, the faster you can build advanced troops and assemble them to attack the enemy. On the front battlefield, victory or defeat depends on your operational ability.

When Toto was developing peacefully, he suddenly saw several hellhounds running over, and they were easily dealt with by the soldiers guarding the base.

What is this for?
Toto doesn't understand why Drogo created hellhounds. Isn't that a type of soldier that is useless except for running fast?
She glanced up at Drogo and found him grinning at her.

It smells like conspiracy.

Whenever Drogo made a face like that, he was about to do something strange.

what is it then?

What's the point of releasing a few hellhounds?
Before Toto could figure out what was going on, several evil demons appeared at the door of his base.

The most basic type of soldier in the devil camp, corresponding to the warrior.

What a straightforward attack tactic. Toto feels that the boss is not as good as Barn. At least Barn knows to stockpile some advanced troops before attacking.

Ugh.

Toto scratched his head. How could he lose to his boss in such a good way?
While worrying, he controlled the soldiers to defend.

But as soon as they came into contact, they discovered a problem. Behind Drogo's vanguard of evil demons, there was a larger group of evil demons, and there were even a few ice demons mixed in, which were a more advanced type of troops.

Oh no, my own warriors can’t win!
Toto immediately began to create warriors, but it was too late. The combat capability of a single warrior was not as good as that of a demon, not to mention that Drogo also had an ice demon.

Her base was razed to the ground.

"No, Toto, what's wrong?" Drogo asked quite proudly, "Did I let my guard down just now and didn't perform well, or did you lose to me on purpose?"

Three minutes later, Toto realized that he had lost in just three minutes and had not even lasted as long as Barn.

The other players watching around were also making a fuss.

"God Toto actually lost?"

"Ha, I always felt that she was not as good as me!" This was Barn, who was happier than Drogo.

"God Toto, are you afraid to beat the boss?"

After a moment of silence, Toto asked a question she hadn't figured out, "Boss, how did you create so many obscene demons and ice demons?"

She also wanted to build more advanced troops when defending, but the magic stone resources were simply not enough.

It couldn't be that Drogo used his boss's authority to secretly change the data, right?

Why didn't you say it earlier? She wasted no time trying to figure out how to lose "appropriately".

"I sold the base." Drogo answered directly.

"You sold the base? That means you can't build other buildings. If we don't attack well, we'll definitely lose..."

Halfway through her words, Toto realized that this was why she had created the Hellhound at the beginning of the game, to use it to check the information of her base. This move could only be used when the defender was unaware.

Yes, information. This game is not only about development, the information hidden under the fog of war is also extremely important.

"Come again!" Toto ignited a desire to win.

"Okay."

In the second game, Drogo used humans, and Toto chose demons. He also created a few hellhounds at the beginning and went to find Drogo's base.

However, he was bitten to death by a defending dog at the gate of the opponent's base.

But it doesn't matter, this way we can see what kind of attack Drogo is going to launch.

If he still wants to sell the base to send troops, I will sell the base and fight him!

Anyway, the devil's low-level soldiers are more capable of fighting.

However, this time Drogo did not send out a large number of troops, but instead sent out several infantry magic vehicles.

What is this for?
The field of vision has been opened. If Toto remembers correctly, the infantry magic vehicles have no combat power at all and can only be used to transport some soldiers. Even if these vehicles are full of soldiers, they will not pose a threat to her, right?

The infantry vehicle arrived quickly and became a living target for the demon, with no intention of fighting back.

Before Toto had time to think about it, several people got off the car. They were engineers.

Wait, what is the role of an engineer?

Can capture enemy buildings.

not good!

Toto hurriedly controlled the demon to attack the engineer, but it was too late.

The engineer, who had no means of attack, walked slowly into her construction plant, wizard tower, barracks, mine...

Her base is now Drogo's...

It was faster than the previous game, just over two minutes.

Toto gritted his teeth and said, "Come again!"
