These players are more cunning than cunning

Chapter 42 Review: I found the hidden main line
When Ning Zheng went up the mountain, she saw them happily dancing around the power hammer.

Although he was somewhat curious, he did not care about the blacksmith shop.

Steward's room.

He sat in a chair and checked the accounts.

The money spent on various crafting tasks.

The number of copper rough billets produced by the warehousing method.

Employee welfare expenses for canteens and dormitories with free food and accommodation.

And the cost of various public facilities, such as power hammers
Ok.

The ratio of "labor input" to "commodity output" is very healthy, and even makes a lot of money!
After all, Jiucai Rong also secretly cut the wages for various tasks such as mining, smelting, and forging.

Most people work nine hours a day and are only paid one or two French coins. The remaining 30% of the salary is said to be spent on the blacksmith's shared expenses in the "dormitory" and "canteen"!
Public area?

What the hell is this word? People work and get food and accommodation, isn't that normal welfare?
Ning Zheng understood it.

The fact that he is the one who is in charge of things highlights his "lack of morals".

He was much more cruel than the fat steward who used to beat and scold people at will.

Others exploit people by beating and scolding them, but he exploits people in a kind and amiable way.

“Is this the cruelty of capitalists?”

At this moment, Ning Zheng felt a little shocked when looking at the account book with gorgeous data.

He couldn't help but feel a little sad: It turns out that you can really make so much money without a conscience?
After rechecking the accounts and finding that Jiu Cairong was indeed working diligently, he directly handed over the Shadow Wine Rice Seedlings that were rapidly cultivated with the Growth-Inducing Spirit Liquid to him.

And tell him the efficacy and let Jiucairong decide the price.

Although its grade is not high, it is outstanding among the lower-grade spiritual rice roots.

In the steward's room, Jiu Cairong's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Sir, the spiritual rice with the aura of the master of the manor has an idol effect. I think one plant can be worth 100 magic coins!"

Ning Zheng felt a little embarrassed when it came to idols.

Especially recently when he logged in with the [花开富贵] account, he always saw them bragging like "I can be the owner of the manor", "I want to give birth to a baby for the owner", "I'm already using the 3D printer to make figures", "This arrow hit my heart", and he was a little overwhelmed as it was his first time having a fan club.

I just think these blacksmiths who steal things everywhere speak very nicely.

But at the moment it’s not a question of how high the price is, it’s just that no one has that huge amount of money right now.

"It's okay, I can lend you money."

Jiucairong seems to be very experienced:
"After the currency system came out, I thought about whether I should get a loan. If I don't have the money to pay it back, I can sell my body to pay off the debt. I think selling my body is a very profitable business in our villa!"

Ning Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.

This selling of oneself is probably just a physical selling of oneself.

If he doesn't pay back the money, he'll probably be caught and thrown in front of a forge, where a group of people will bless him?

Ning Zheng was too lazy to care about them. It was not that his moral standards had declined, but that he had become numb.

You thought it was a very immoral thing, but it was very popular! This made Ning Zheng realize that she was twenty years behind the times!
However, Jiucai Rong quickly asked, "Master Steward, does our villa have any special secret method to increase the probability of the appearance of [Embers] after death?"

After he asked, he immediately realized that his behavior was too strange in front of the old steward, and quickly added an explanation:
"It's mainly because our race has done too many immoral things in life, and we don't want to die a good death!!"

Ning Zheng laughed out loud on the spot.

Last time, your race not only loved to wet the kang, but also refused to sleep in the bed.

This time, your race has done evil things, and you still want to die a miserable death?
You have a pretty interesting life.

Of course there is a chance of increasing embers.

Otherwise, how could those monsters turn all the villagers at the foot of the mountain into ashes?
Ning Zheng didn’t know how they did it, it was too high-end.

But he also has his own way, in his opinion.

Just bad luck, that's all.

When their luck value drops to 0, they are instantly possessed by the god of bad luck and the god of death has come, which naturally makes their wishes come true.

After all, if a person is unlucky, he will not die a good death!

Seeing that they like it so much, Ning Zheng will naturally fulfill their wish.

As for the specific probability of increasing the appearance of embers by doing this?
Ning Zheng didn’t know either.

Ning Zheng thought for a moment, took out a few coins and handed them to him:
"I have applied mana to it. As long as you hold it and input mana, it can increase the probability of producing embers when you die. You can decide how much to sell it for."

It's just a name.

I'll ask my assistant Xiao Ai to keep an eye on it. Before the person who holds the magic money dies, I'll just deduct his luck value, and I can also make some extra money.

Soon, Ning Zheng left.

Although I went up the mountain this time and gave them my spiritual roots, I did not put all my hopes in one basket.

Ning Zheng also preserved the original plant and found a piece of wasteland in Lingzhuang to plant it, and asked Ning Jiaojiao to help take care of it.

The three elements of Dharma money, meat fields, and spiritual rice for cultivation have been initially gathered.

Three days passed by unknowingly.

Everyone in the villa is busy with blacksmithing, hairpin making, and reading.

They mainly prepare various facilities for the blacksmith shop, such as power hammers and forging presses. The women are also dealing with various needles, threads and sewing tools of different sizes.

Those who read books are really reading. There are so many readers that the Sword Forging Villa is about to become a bookstore!
Moreover, these people read online and offline, and some even read until four in the morning.

Even those who take the postgraduate entrance examination are not as enthusiastic as them.

Ning Zheng has been practicing peacefully at the foot of the mountain these days.

With the blessing of the meat field, the quality of life today is extremely high.

During the process, I also took a look at the forum, and suddenly I realized why they were so eager to plant spiritual roots.

《Su Yu Niang: Urgent! My brothers and sisters, I found a hidden plot. If you don’t read the book, you will miss the new plotline! 》

If Ning Zheng hadn't set up a forum, no one would have known what had happened.

"So, the culprit for the quiet reading these days is this thing?"

Ning Zheng was puzzled on the spot. I didn’t rush you. You can work anytime. Why are you in such a hurry?
What do you mean by missing the main plot?

Ning Zheng herself didn't even know about this plan.

He opened the post curiously:

"Everyone, I'm Su Yu Niang, and this is what happened! Through the bird's-eye view of the villa that I took earlier, I started to use a telescope again yesterday to continue looking at it. As a result, I found that the atmosphere of the festival decorations at the foot of the mountain is getting stronger and stronger."

"This must be some kind of omen! My fellow fans and I analyzed the situation from 7am to 10pm last night. With the help of all of you, I think we have successfully predicted the main plot of the villa!!"

screenshot,

Screenshot.

The comparison pictures are posted. Because the woods are too dense, only a corner of the villa is visible through the telescope, and most of it is blocked.

"First of all, anyone who has played this type of business game knows that the scope of the game activities for this type of inn, hotel, or villa management is limited to a certain size. The outside is all wallpaper, which is what we call an air wall.
The outside world is all virtual maps. When Yu Jin goes out, he is just pretending to go out. Once he goes out, he becomes data. For details, you can refer to the Traveling Frog, an idle game. They only bring materials, which is a text adventure. "

"So why is the dynamic wallpaper at the foot of the mountain villa advancing all the time? Are all kinds of lanterns for the festival gradually being hung up at the foot of the mountain? It must be a hint to us that there will be a plot soon!"

"After the crow disaster, I think there are two possible main plot developments."

"1. Let's take a good guess. In the main business storyline - New Year's celebration, we can't go down the mountain, so we let Yu Jin go to the market, set up a stall to sell weapons, and do business with the folks down the mountain. This logic is normal, right?"

"2. Guess the worst. The main battle storyline is about the Nian Beast. The Nian Beast is a regular in all major games during the New Year. The villagers who are happy during the festival will trigger the monster Nian Beast to attack the village. At this time, we in the mountains have to frantically build weapons, such as suona and gongs, and set up stalls to sell them to the folks down the mountain to drive away the Nian Beast!?"

"No matter what, the villa has to rush to build weapons so that we can feel involved. This is the main task."

"Of course, the threshold to participate is very high. You need embers! So whether you are setting up a stall to sell weapons in the city last year, or helping to sell weapons to drive away the Nian beast, you need embers as transportation to send our weapons down the mountain to sell to the villagers."

After a series of brilliant analyses like that of Sherlock Holmes, everyone felt that it made sense.

The previous main line was to obtain materials.

The main plot will definitely be to advance to the available materials and sell weapons!
This game is full of strange details, and there is no reason to have a wallpaper like this under the mountain. It must be a hint.

The comments below are interesting too.

[This game has refreshed my worldview. It’s such a small place, but it can come up with so many creative new plots. The last time, the crow plague provided forging materials from the sky, and this time, the “pet” was released to set up a stall in the air. It’s really ingenious! ]

[Su Yu Niang's fans are awesome! We can finally let our pet babies sell our stockpiled crow materials at the market! We can also exchange them for some goodies! The trading method is very novel! ]

[I know this. She has been chatting at night recently. She picks her feet while chatting about the plot. She plays today's video with her fans, analyzes and complains crazily. It actually produces some results.]

[Now she should have guessed it right. ]

[The production team is giving up. They didn't even write this. Jiucairong, please come out and write the update announcement for the new mainline.]

Ning Zheng looked at it for a while and roughly understood what was going on.

Because it’s New Year’s Day down the mountain, people are going to the New Year market.

What main plot or not? They just secretly saw a corner of it, and they were very happy, and wanted to actively participate in the market down the mountain and set up a stall.

Ning Zheng guessed what they were thinking.

They are all full of energy and want to sell weapons all day long.

I clearly said that I would contact the merchants in the city once their technology improved, but I just couldn't wait.

But now the problem is big.

The folks living at the foot of this mountain are not human beings.

The stalls are set up in a ghost market, with hundreds of ghosts roaming at night and ghost soldiers passing through. The guys inside are not alive.

What about the fisherman, the water monkey, the bride in red, the pig seller, the skull candied haws vendor, they are vicious and violent, weird and evil, laughing strangely, and they force people to buy and sell things. What they sell are not decent things.

But Ning Zheng thought about it carefully.

It seems that the blacksmiths are not serious people?

The ones sent out are not living people. Both sides are compatriots. Are they still afraid of conflicts in the ghost market? Are there dead people?

They are not decent people, so they can't cause any big trouble.

In Ning Zheng's opinion, the weirdness of these blacksmiths was also shocking. Forced buying and selling?

It’s not certain who bullies whom.

He had learned his lesson after the crow incident. "I guess I was worrying for nothing. I'm the only living person in this place full of spirit houses. I'm the only one who will die. I'd better just worry about my own safety."

Ning Zheng has already removed this group of young blacksmiths from the human register and placed them on the same level as the elders and villagers of Lingzhuang.
