Roger was only slightly surprised before asking, "When can you bring it over?"

"The drawings will be delivered before the factory officially starts operations," Lin Hanchuan replied. "If you need more drawings, just let me know."

The Water Bear Set blueprints dropped by the Water Bear BOSS are not unique. Lin Hanchuan got one before, and Long Xiaochen got one now. There is a chance that other players will get them again when they farm the Water Bear BOSS in the future.

The biggest problem here is that even if other players obtain the blueprints for the Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Set, they don't have the ability to craft it in a weapon factory like Lin Hanchuan's.

Of course, the other party can hire an alchemist or blacksmith to forge it, but the final cost would probably be higher than the factory price of the Water Bear Monster Set from Lin Hanchuan's weapon factory.

This is quite normal. Besides the fact that factory assembly lines can greatly reduce labor costs and save production time, it's also because the main raw material for the Water Bear Monster Set—crystal stones—is not subject to resellers making a profit on Lin Hanchuan's side.

Therefore, once the weapon factory starts mass-producing the Water Bear Monster set, players who obtained the blueprints from the Water Bear Monster BOSS will have no choice but to sell them.

Lin Hanchuan is the best buyer in Wangyue City.

Aside from that, it's possible that some people deliberately go to the water bear monster's territory to farm sets.

Assuming the opponent can easily defeat the water bear monster.

If your luck isn't high, and considering that wild monsters in the Water Bear's territory only respawn half an hour after they die, getting a single Silver-grade Water Bear set in a day is considered the limit.

This is still under the assumption that no one is competing to farm the water bear monster.

If there is competition, then that's another story.

At worst, Lin Hanchuan could arrange for players to forcibly occupy the water bear monster's territory, preventing other players from obtaining blueprints and sets.

Completely seize the monopoly on the Water Bear Monster Set.

“Okay!” Roger nodded. “To improve the success rate, I will arrange for alchemists of master level or above, or blacksmiths of grandmaster level or above, to learn the blueprints for the Water Bear Monster Set.”

Weapon creation is not always a 100% success rate.

When alchemists of the same level are crafting weapons, the higher the weapon level and quality, the lower the success rate.

This is the main reason why weapon blueprints have requirements regarding the learner's class level.

Lin Hanchuan looked at Roger and asked, "What is the final cost of a complete Silver-grade Water Bear Monster set?"

“10 gold coins!” Roger thought for a moment and replied based on his years of experience, “However, this is just a rough number. Boss, you know that the price of raw materials, labor costs, and the final success rate of the set, which are not yet determined, will ultimately determine the cost of a weapon.”

Seemingly to reassure Lin Hanchuan, Roger quickly added after saying this, "But it definitely won't exceed 12 gold coins. I guarantee it with my years of reputation!"

Lin Hanchuan said nonchalantly, "Don't be nervous. I just want to determine the final selling price of the Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Set based on its cost."

"Boss, how much are you planning to sell it for?" Roger asked curiously.

Lin Hanchuan held up five fingers.

Roger nodded and said, "15 gold coins? That's alright. The cost is there, and in the current very bad economic climate, making a few gold coins per set is barely acceptable."

"However, boss, we can't produce too many sets, to prevent them from becoming unsellable later."

Lin Hanchuan looked at Roger with a strange expression.

"15 gold coins for a Water Bear Monster set? Do you think I'm doing charity?"

You only earn a few gold coins per item.

Lin Hanchuan would have been better off investing that money in real estate.

Continue buying land.

Why bother coming to the weapons factory to do these things when you're defending your title?

"50 gold coins!?" Roger's eyes widened as he stared at Lin Hanchuan, his expression filled with disbelief.

"What are you thinking about!" Lin Hanchuan's gaze at Roger grew increasingly strange. "What's the difference between 50 gold coins and 15 gold coins? Aren't they both for charity?"

"Boss, how much do you want to sell it for?"

All 50 gold coins are for charity?!

Roger felt that his thinking could no longer keep up with Lin Hanchuan's level.

“500 gold coins!” Lin Hanchuan replied. “If I sell it to them for that price, they’ll thank me.”

"Fuck!!!"

"500!!!"

Roger looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Cost: 10 gold coins.

You sell it for 500 gold coins!

He worked in the weapons factory for so many years.

I've done countless business deals.

I've heard countless rumors.

I've never heard of mass-produced sets being sold at fifty times the price.

I should thank you after I've made the purchase?
Boss, aren't you a foreigner too?
Isn't your knife too sharp?

"Why are you making such a fuss?" Lin Hanchuan asked, puzzled, looking at Roger's expression. "Didn't I tell you? Foreigners are all rich sheep."

"Moreover, this price is only the initial price. We will see if we can raise it further depending on the market conditions."

Lin Hanchuan spoke very seriously.

This price was one he had considered.

The attributes of the Water Bear Monster Set are there for all to see.

Wearing this item allows a level 10 player to easily surpass a level 25 player with no gear in terms of stats, and it has no class restrictions and allows the player to go underwater.

Moreover, the Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Set is priced at 500 gold coins, and he certainly didn't intend for all players in Wangyue City to be able to afford it.

The factory can produce one set in a maximum of three minutes.

They only produce 20 sets per hour, and they work 24 hours a day... Okay! They work 18 hours a day, which is only 360 sets.

In this era of rapid equipment updates and iterations.

All in all, the entire factory produced only 3600 sets in 10 days.

That's not even enough for the small group of whales in Wangyue City to consume right now.

If the market grows in the future, and some merchants and players are willing to walk thousands of miles to export to surrounding cities, Lin Hanchuan plans to sell them a set for 1,000 gold coins.

Of course, if, over time, the blueprints for the Water Bear Monster Set accidentally leaked to surrounding cities, and the weapon factories in those cities also started producing the Water Bear Monster Set, Lin Hanchuan would lower the price.

The cost price is 10 gold coins.

This will inevitably give Lin Hanchuan a lot of room to adjust the market price of the Water Bear Monster Set.

"Add more!!" Lin Hanchuan's words sent chills down Roger's spine.

Looking back on his decades-long career as a factory manager, Roger sometimes felt like a heartless businessman.

But compared to Lin Hanchuan.

I am the biggest philanthropist in Wangyue City.

"Calm down!" Lin Hanchuan said calmly. "Factory Director Roger, this kind of thing will be very common in the future. Now that we've already embarked on this path, let's calm down!"

"Besides, I clearly stated the price; I'm not forcing them to buy."

Roger took a few deep breaths, looked at Lin Hanchuan for a while, and then said, "Boss, what you said makes sense. I was just ignorant."

Roger is now somewhat relieved that Lin Hanchuan is the owner of this factory.

When the foreigners were enraged and attacked him en masse, the boss stood in front to give himself time to escape.

"You mentioned before that you wanted to hire dwarves from the Radiant Forest to mine. Besides dwarves, what other intelligent races are there? What are some ways to contact them?" Lin Hanchuan suddenly became interested in the distribution of intelligent races in the Radiant Forest.

Although I have a map of the Radiant Forest, it is only partial and not comprehensive. It marks the location of the Dwarven territory, which is not far from the edge of the Radiant Forest. There is a winding path on the yellow earth road that leads there.

There are also two other races: elves and treants.

As for the other intelligent races, they are not on the map; they should be deeper in the Radiant Forest.

Lin Hanchuan wanted to take this opportunity to learn some information from Roger.

"And elves, treants, orcs, humanoids, hulu..."

Roger rattled off more than a dozen races, then continued, "These are the major racial categories, and each major category is further divided into several smaller races. For example, there are dwarves, including goblin dwarves, who are the best miners in the Radiant Forest, and master craftsmen dwarves, who are born blacksmiths. When this weapons factory was doing well, we would even hire master craftsmen dwarves. They were cheap, just a barrel of wine a day was enough..."

Lin Hanchuan listened patiently to Roger's introduction to the intelligent races in the Radiant Forest.

Although he wasn't the kind of adventurer NPC who frequented the Radiant Forest year-round, his introduction gave Lin Hanchuan a clear understanding of the racial distribution within the Radiant Forest.

"As for contacting them... my deputy factory manager, who used to be in charge of recruitment, was a slave owner and smuggler. He would go into the Radiant Forest several times a year, and each time he would stay for ten days or half a month. This time I plan to have him go to the Radiant Forest to recruit goblins and dwarves."

"Are they inside the factory?" Lin Hanchuan looked at the workers not far away. They had overheard their conversation, and now every one of them was shining with excitement.

They were the happiest when the factory started operating.

“He’s not here!” Roger shook his head. “He’s probably resting at home. The economic situation in Wangyue City is not good, and no one is buying his slaves and smuggled goods.”

“Every time he goes to the Radiant Forest, he loses out.”

"However, to enter the territory of the Radiant Forest race, you need a pass, which can be obtained from the city hall."

Lin Hanchuan nodded. "Alright! Next time I come to the weapons factory, if he's here, please introduce me to him."

“Okay, no problem!” Roger readily agreed.

While we were talking about things in the Radiant Forest, a notification sounded on the panel.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at it.

It was sent by Lao Mo.

Jun Mowen – “Old Lin, sorry, sorry! Something suddenly came up at home and I have to log off to take care of it. I’m only two or three monsters away from level 10, and I’ll be heading to the city soon!”

"I'll be waiting for you at Resurrection Square!"—Lin Hanchuan said to Roger after sending the message. "I'm counting on you to make the Water Bear Monster suit!"

"If you have any needs or encounter any difficulties, just tell me!"

Roger: "Yes, boss!"

……

……

Leave the weapons factory.

Lin Hanchuan headed straight for the Resurrection Square.

Not long after, Lao Mo's message arrived.

Jun Mowen—"Old Lin, I'm here! Where are you?"

Lin Hanchuan sent the coordinates directly.

Not long after, a familiar voice rang in Lin Hanchuan's ears.

"Old Lin! I'm so sorry! My family arranged a blind date for me, and I really couldn't refuse. Otherwise, I would have gone to the city long ago!"

Following the sound, Lin Hanchuan saw a tall, thin player who looked somewhat like Lao Mo walk over, looking apologetic.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go online for a blind date?" Lin Hanchuan glanced at the time. It was midnight, and the nightlife in Yanhuai City was just beginning.

"Do you think I wanted this?" Jun Mowen said helplessly. "After eating, shopping, and watching a movie, she said she was sleepy. I got her a room, and as soon as we went in, she told me to close the door!"

"The meaning was so obvious, so I could only go out, close the door, and then rush home to log on."

"Is it possible..." Lin Hanchuan looked at the unhelpful Lao Mo and said slowly, "She meant that you should close the door in the room, not that you should go out and close the door."

Mo Lingyun is tall and slender with curly hair that covers her eyebrows and long, slender fingers. Overall, she has a very good appearance and speaks with a slightly husky voice.

He is also financially well-off, owning a villa in Yanhuai city and another in Shanghai, both registered in his name.

Although he always tells others that he is from the countryside, in reality, his parents run a large pig farm in their rural hometown, with an annual turnover of hundreds of millions of yuan, and they also rent thousands of acres of farmland.

Definitely a second-generation cash flow tycoon.

Whether a blind date is after his looks or his money, logically they wouldn't let him go.

The woman asked him to close the door.

It's obvious they want him to stay.

If it were Long Xiaochen, it would already be over.

"Holy crap!!" Mo Lingyun belatedly realized, slapped his forehead, and suddenly understood. "Then I'd better log off right away!"

"What's the point of raining now?!" Lin Hanchuan said speechlessly. "The daylily is already cold, and you're only now thinking about eating it!"

Mo Lingyun looked regretful, and even showed signs of pain.

After a long pause, Mo Lingyun seemed to remember something and quickly said to Lin Hanchuan, "Old Lin, you're my own brother, you must keep this a secret from me, you can't tell anyone."

Lin Hanchuan: "Uh..."

Lin Hanchuan looked at Lao Mo, who had a pleading expression on his face, and at a personal panel that only he could see, which was floating in front of him.

------

[Heavenly Path Squad Chat Group]

Lin Hanchuan: "Old Mo has entered the city!"

Long Xiaochen: "Finally we've entered the city. Didn't he enter the newbie village a long time ago? He's been grinding for ages and only just arrived now."

Lin Hanchuan: "Old Mo had something come up and was delayed."

Cao Renjie: "What is so important?"

Lin Hanchuan: "Blind date! Old Mo's family arranged a blind date for him, let me tell you..."

"That's how it is. Old Mo is wearing a mask of pain right now."

Long Xiaochen: "Hahaha!! That's hilarious!" Cao Renjie: "Hahaha!! No wonder you're Old Mo."

Long Xiaoyue: "Sigh..."

------

"What's wrong? Did you tell someone?!" Mo Lingyun looked at Lin Hanchuan with a horrified expression.

Lin Hanchuan quickly shook his head and said, "No, I just told them you went into the city."

"Don't worry! I'm very discreet. We've known each other for so long, don't you know my character?"

"This matter will definitely remain buried in your heart forever."

"I won't tell."

Mo Lingyun said gratefully, "Thank you, brother!"

Lin Hanchuan nodded emphatically and patted him on the shoulder, "Go and take on a job change quest first, we'll talk about the rest later."

“Okay!” Mo Lingyun nodded emphatically.

While Mo Lingyun was queuing up,

Lin Hanchuan quickly sent a message in the "Heavenly Path Squad Chat Group".

Lin Hanchuan: "Don't tell anyone else about this, especially Lao Mo."

Long Xiaochen: "Don't worry! I'm very discreet. We've known each other for so long, don't you know my character?"

Cao Renjie: "This matter will definitely remain buried in your heart forever."

Lin Hanchuan: "..."

These words look so familiar.

Long Xiaoyue: "I won't tell either."

Lin Hanchuan: "..."

Lin Hanchuan looked up at Lao Mo again.

I felt a strange, inexplicable sense of guilt.

Fortunately, as long as Lao Mo doesn't find out about this...

It doesn't count as telling someone else.

Queuing up to accept job change quests is quite slow.

Old Mo is very shrewd when it comes to handling affairs.

After waiting in line for less than fifteen minutes, he left the queue, found a scalper, and spent 10 gold coins to buy a spot from the player in front of him. The player then happily went to the back of the queue to continue waiting.

Where there are people, there is business.

Given that it normally takes one or two hours to queue for a job change quest, a scalper business has emerged that offers to queue on your behalf.

If you don't want to wait in line, you can buy a spot at the very front if you're willing to spend the money, saving you an hour or two of waiting time.

The players who used the proxy ranking service were very satisfied with the income.

Less than half an hour.

Mo Lingyun then completed the archer class change quest.

"What level archer class change quest did you get?" Lin Hanchuan asked.

“Samsung!” Mo Lingyun replied.

The official game developers have not ranked the classes; the star rating system is purely a theory created by the players.

Players refer to that theory when estimating their class level.

"Don't rush to do the task. I have something to tell you, I'll introduce you to some people, and then I'll arrange some things for you!" Lin Hanchuan was already eager to arrange things for Mo Lingyun.

Lin Hanchuan values ​​Mo Lingyun highly.

Whether I can become a hands-off boss in the future depends on him.

This is also the main reason why Lin Hanchuan ignored everything else and rushed over as soon as he received his message.

Talent is so important!

"Okay!" Some things had already been clarified offline, so Mo Lingyun readily agreed to Lin Hanchuan's request. "It's up to you!"

Lin Hanchuan replied, "Then I'll tell you one by one!"

"First of all, let me be frank with you. I'm going to form a strategy team today. The criteria for players to join the strategy team are that they are in the top five of the various class rankings, with three exceptions: Dark Legend, Little Wooden Man, and Heavy Armor. They were in the same newbie village as me before, and they have very good character. I want to train them carefully."

"As for the leader of the expedition team, you will be in that position."

Mo Lingyun asked in surprise, "Why are you in such a hurry to form a strategy team? Besides, I'm only level 10 and haven't completed my job advancement yet. Without a guild or other organization recognized by the system, the only way to suppress these top players on the various leaderboards is through sheer strength. I can borrow your reputation to intimidate you for a couple of days, but if it goes on for too long, the strategy team will fall apart."

Mo Lingyun has extensive experience in guild management.

They were well aware of the arrogance and pride of those players in the strategy team.

He knew very well that he was currently unable to control them.

“I have four videos showing first-clear walkthroughs of the Shura-level dungeons, and the players in Wangyue City really want me to create a guide for them,” Lin Hanchuan said.

"I also want to win people's hearts with free strategy guides, and at the same time quickly improve the overall strength of the players in Wangyue City."

"In fourth-tier cities, some infrastructure is already lagging behind other cities. If players also lag behind in level, then it will be difficult for this city to develop in the future."

Competition exists everywhere in the process of arrival.

Competition between players, between squads, between guilds, between nations, and between regions.

Since Lin Hanchuan had already decided to bet everything on Wangyue City, he naturally did not want to see Wangyue City fall behind other cities in terms of overall player strength.

Creating a guide for the Shura-level dungeon as soon as possible, so that ordinary players can also enjoy the rapid growth brought by the Shura-level dungeon, is one of the most urgent things to do right now.

Lin Hanchuan paused for a moment, then continued.

"As for suppressing those players in the raid team, you don't need to worry. The deputy captain of the raid team is Long Xiaochen. He is currently the strongest player in Wangyue City, second only to me in combat power. He is currently soloing all the level 25 water bear monsters in the water bear monster territory."

"Players from Wangyue City are visiting in batches, and they are now pretty much aware of his combat strength."

Lin Hanchuan had deliberately arranged for Long Xiaochen to farm the monsters in the Water Bear Monster's territory alone.

The players of Wangyue City have a deep-seated understanding of the power of Huangchuan Baixiao.

However, regarding Long Xiaochen, who ranked second on the combat power list, I previously only had a casual feeling that "Oh! He is the second on the combat power list," without any specific sensory understanding of his combat power.

To prevent others from getting the impression that I could challenge Long Xiaochen, Lin Hanchuan intentionally let him solo the Water Bear Monster's territory.

Furthermore, all players in Wangyue City now know that the two-star mine is located in the territory of the Water Bear Monster.

When players visited with this gossipy mentality, they witnessed Long Xiaochen's combat prowess firsthand, and after seeing it materialized in actual combat, appointing him as the vice-captain of the raid team was enough to intimidate the vast majority of players in the team simply by having his name on the team.

"That's good!" Mo Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief. "With Long Xiaochen, who is ranked second on the battle list, in charge, there's definitely no problem."

Lin Hanchuan moved on to the next matter.

"Didn't I tell you before that I wanted to introduce you to someone?"

Mo Lingyun nodded.

We talked about it yesterday.

"His name is Faceless Passerby. He used to be a top-tier merchant at the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, one of the four major chambers of commerce in District Two. I've already poached him, and he'll be managing all the businesses in Wangyue City for me from now on," Lin Hanchuan said bluntly. "You two will keep an eye on each other!"

Mutual supervision is already a very polite way of putting it.

Mo Lingyun understood.

Lin Hanchuan was asking him to keep an eye on the Faceless Passerby.

Since ancient times, merchants have valued profit over parting.

No one would feel comfortable entrusting such a large commercial operation in Wangyue City to a merchant who had just robbed another business.

Mo Lingyun nodded in agreement, "I understand!"

He chose to enter the Ninth District with the idea of ​​working with Lin Hanchuan to make something of himself.

They made up for everything that hadn't been accomplished in District One.

After receiving Mo Lingyun's reply, Lin Hanchuan opened his personal panel and sent a message to the Faceless Passerby.

Lin Hanchuan: "Where is he? I have a friend here who I'd like to introduce you to."

"I'm at the tavern; I was just about to talk to you about the land that the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce has already selected." — Faceless Passerby

Lin Hanchuan – “I’m coming right away!”

After the message is sent.

Soon.

Lin Hanchuan, accompanied by Mo Lingyun, met the Faceless Passerby at No. 19, the Street of the Dead.

The tavern is still under construction.

The foundation has been laid, and the red dwarves are working diligently under the supervision of the master architect Corey.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at him and his gaze fell on the Faceless Passerby, next to whom stood a chubby player.

The other person was also scrutinizing Lin Hanchuan with their tiny, beady eyes.

"You must be the representative of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce in Wangyue City?" Lin Hanchuan greeted him.

The other party nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Arakawa Shiro! My ID is Caiyunlai, a top-level merchant of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce. I was sent by the president to come to Wangyue City to discuss cooperation with you."

The faceless passerby stood to the side, looking very serious.

Unlike those who were promoted to the top rank on short notice.

This is a true top-tier businessman.

During the Second District period, he made great contributions to the development of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce.

His presence here, in a way, proves the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce's attitude towards Arakawa Shiro.

"Hello!" Lin Hanchuan said with a gentle smile. "The cooperation isn't urgent right now. Let's get the transfer of the 10 mu of land that Tianhai Chamber of Commerce needs completed first."

The faceless passerby then took out a map of Wangyue City.

"Boss, take a look. Tianhai Chamber of Commerce has confirmed that they want these plots of land!" After the map was spread out, the Faceless Passerby pointed out several plots of land. Except for one plot in Orc Street, the others were all near the Mercenary Guild, and they had all been bought by Lin Hanchuan.

“Okay!” Lin Hanchuan readily agreed. “Let’s add each other as friends.”

Caiyunlai added Lin Hanchuan as a friend.

After confirming the amount of gold coins to be purchased, he immediately transferred the gold coins to Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan immediately transferred the land to Caiyunlai through the system.

We chatted briefly and amicably for a while before I left, feeling lucky.

Once everyone was alone, Lin Hanchuan introduced the Faceless Passerby, "This is Jun Mowen, my good brother. He will be helping me manage the guild I established in Wangyue City."

"This is the Faceless Passerby," Lin Hanchuan then introduced to Mo Lingyun. "A business genius. I'll entrust him with the future business planning of Wangyue City."

The Faceless Passerby was naturally aware of Lin Hanchuan's intention in bringing Mo Lingyun over for introduction.

However, this also proves that Lin Hanchuan has indeed planned to hand over the future business empire of Wangyue City to him.

The faceless passerby was very happy and shook hands with Mo Lingyun with a big smile.

"Hello, Brother Jun! Please follow me more in the future!"

Jun Mowen looked at the faceless passerby who was even bigger than himself and replied with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Ke, please guide me in the future."

After a brief introduction, the two sides...

Lin Hanchuan mentioned the future mass production of Silver-level Water Bear Monster suits at the weapons factory.

When Lin Hanchuan mentioned that he planned to sell the Water Bear Monster Set for only 500 gold coins in the future, the Faceless Passerby and Mo Lingyun had surprisingly similar attitudes.

Faceless Passerby: "This price is too low! Given the current production efficiency of the weapons factory, it can be raised further. I think 1,000 gold coins would be a rather charitable price."

It's worth noting that dozens of top guilds have moved into Moon Gazing City this time. Although each guild doesn't have many members, they are not short of money at all. Together, they can afford to buy thousands of Water Bear Monster sets.

There are also quite a few basic whales (players who spend a lot of money on in-game purchases).

Mo Lingyun added, "Besides, once you reveal your identity, at least several million players will flood in, including many wealthy ones."

Moreover, there will definitely be merchant players who will collect Water Bear Monster sets from all over the place and transport them to the city next to Wangyue City for sale. That will be another very large sales channel.

A level 25 silver-grade all-around underwater set, only selling for 500 gold coins? Are you doing charity?

With the support of two like-minded individuals, Lin Hanchuan wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "We'll see about the price later; 500 gold coins per set is just the starting price."

"Oh, right, I also have quite a few equipment items and potions here." Lin Hanchuan took off three spatial rings and handed them directly to the Faceless Passerby. "These are all things that our Heavenly Dao Team got while farming in the wild recently, and there are quite a few good items."

As they spoke, Lin Hanchuan took out some potions and gave them to the Faceless Passerby and Mo Lingyun, and also gave them some weapons and equipment related to their professions.

"You help me set up a channel to sell to players, and you set the price yourself."

The equipment and items are sold to the system for too low a price.

Fortunately, there's no worry about sales at the moment. As long as we're flexible, we can sell to players and make a profit.

"Leave this to me!" The Faceless Passerby took the task as a test from Lin Hanchuan and nodded solemnly in response.

Just about to speak.

The system notification suddenly rang in Lin Hanchuan's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations! The Heavenly Path Team has successfully defended the two-star crystal mine in the Water Bear Monster's territory for eight hours and has gained permanent ownership of the mine!"
