The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 161 Bargaining
Seeing Dewey's distressed look, Zhang Qiang patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.

Said: "Brother, that's right, what do you want? It's just the convenience of running a consortium. You became the sheriff of Uxhall City and have a good relationship with the civilian officer. This is for you and for your consortium. And for your game company, it’s a big improvement. Don’t keep thinking about the improvement of your personal power. Think about your consortium and company. I don’t think your dad wants to see you just play games by yourself. Instead of thinking about doing something for the company and the consortium."

Dewey said with a smile: "Zhang Qiang, I think you have matured a lot. You have changed a lot from the old Zhang Qiang who was full of resentment and wanted to take revenge on your guild."

Zhang Qiang smiled and said nothing.

Earl Plais said: "Your Majesty the Sheriff, would you consider handing over the few prisoners you are holding to me."

Dewey shook his head, Zhang Qiang glanced at him and said, "What are you worried about?"

Dewey gave Zhang Qiang a look that you understood, Zhang Qiang was helpless, and said to him: "Or else, I guarantee, you hand them over to my lord, how about it?"

Dewey said: "The city lord of Uxhall hasn't made a verdict on these guys yet, so I can't let them go."

Zhang Qiang asked, "Isn't the lord of Uxhall City Earl Starmar?"

Dewey shook his head and said: "The Earl doesn't care about these things, just like our military bosses in the real world don't care about local administrative matters. He has a city lord under him, which is equivalent to our mayor. He cares about these trivial matters , Earl Starma only cares about whether there will be taxes to maintain his army and his luxurious life. And if the king wants to recruit him to go out to fight, he will take his own troops to fight. Only merit and the king's favor are the best. Things he's thinking about."

Zhang Qiang said: "This is equivalent to the local Jiedu envoy, the emperor of the land, who can take care of it or not, and there are special personnel below to manage these things. Well, this is very difficult."

Earl Plais interrupted: "Although Desaiwei is a bandit hero, but you caught him and didn't find the bandit token on her, so she is nothing more than a powerful bandit leader. In the kingdom camp, she Equivalent to the strength of our Tier [-] knight, after all, she is a powerful soldier, just an outlaw who resisted us. Now that she is caught, the city lord can decide her life or death. It is up to the city lord to decide whether to kill her or exile her. , Earl Starmar's meaning at the banquet is already very clear, if Your Excellency the Sheriff gives these people to me, they will be my fighting slaves, and I will redeem them at the price of slaves."

Zhang Qiang looked back at Dewey, Dewey shook his head, and said to Zhang Qiang: "The price is too low, he only gave me 1000 gold coins, which is not enough to even bribe the old man Hanon to speak to the city lord for me."

Zhang Qiang looked at Earl Plais, he felt that dealing with Dewey was actually very simple, give him 100 million gold coins, and he would run more happily than anyone else.

Dewey stared at Earl Plais. Since this guy spoke so clearly, he didn't need to be afraid of him. When he didn't enter the kingdom's camp, he wanted to join the kingdom's camp, so he didn't hesitate to go mining. Yes, mining.

He was still a serf at that time, and he dreamed that mining would bring him a lot of unexpected good luck, just like many miners described in the real world, there were so many adventures, he could find ore with good quality, he could Sell ​​a lot of money, and then you can make a lot of wealth in the game world based on the membership of many player guilds in the game world.

But when I finally changed from a serf to a peasant with civilian status, I felt my sorrow.

With your status as a second-generation patriarch, what kind of miner, mining, makes you feel uncomfortable, and you can't make much money.

After some careful observation, he discovered that this world is a world of bravery, a world of meritorious deeds, a world ruled by aristocrats, and there is nothing like commoners like them. If there is anything, it is continuous wars Disaster.

Looted to be looted, like a flock of sheep, every time you make money and think you can live a rich life, the war comes, and the money they make is looted like sheep.

He had experienced three times of ransacking in Xinshou Village, one time was ransacked by outlaws, one time was ransacked by other Rhodok lords, and the other time was ransacked by the lords of the Kingdom of Swadia. Tears.

Later, he changed the direction of his efforts, transferred people from the consortium to investigate the entire game, and finally understood these principles. If he wants to gain a firm foothold in this continent of Calradia, he will fight against the warlords decades ago in the real world. You have to become a warlord, um—a lord, but this is different from that. You first have to become a player of the kingdom camp, that is, your identity is at least a citizen of the territory of the kingdom camp.

Although these players were born in Novice Village and grew up in Novice Village, their identities are quite different from those of NPC civilians. NPC civilians are the people of their lord's territory.

Of course, you really can't make it into an NPC commoner or a leader, because of your inherent disadvantages, you come from a world other than the game, and you are an adventurer.

Otherwise, you were born as a serf, which means that you are a slave who was sold from outside, and you can only do some inferior and hard work. You pay the contribution value, that is, you have enough to redeem yourself Money, you can become a farmer, that is, a commoner.

Civilians have the same obligations and freedoms as the citizens, and they also have some resistance, that is, combat effectiveness, but it is very low. At this time, you can stand on the same starting line as the leaders to make money or do other things.

But to make money, you have to be limited by your trading skills. For example, the NPC lords who buy and sell goods are only affected by the ups and downs of the market, and you adventurers who have changed from slaves to civilians have to accept a difference of 10 times the price. Fair treatment.

If you buy something for one yuan, you have to pay ten yuan, and if you sell something for one yuan, it is only worth 1 cents.

Moreover, if you buy something worth one yuan, the first item is 1 yuan, the second item is 1 yuan, the third item is 2 or 1 yuan, etc., and so on until You find that the more you buy, the more expensive the price is. If you want to do business and want to make money and make profit from the price difference, you find that even if you pull the cable from Palavin to the farthest Hariz or more In Kuban, the farther city, and farther away, you will not only lose money but also lose a lot of money.

When selling things, the first item is 10 yuan, the second item is 9, the third item is 8, and so on, until your profit disappears, and you have to pay travel expenses and costs.

This is the gap and difference between adventurers, players and other people.

The most profitable thing is actually to become a soldier, to fight and earn meritorious service, but all players belong to the civilian camp at the beginning, and if the civilian camp wants to become a professional with combat effectiveness, they have to enter the Employer Guild and become a The fighters of the Employer's Guild travel across the continent, improve their strength, enhance their prestige in the mainland, and establish good relations with various NPC characters.

After that, you have three options to choose from, wealth, to run a business and become a businessman; power, to become a knight or lord of the kingdom camp; or to be an outlaw, who can do whatever he wants, want money, go to Grab, if you want power, go for it.

Of course, the most advantage here is the second way, rights, with rights, you will have strength, with strength, you want money, it is easy, organize your own caravan, go to business, and have someone to guard , If you want power, you can fight. With prestige, relationships, and soldiers, nothing is a problem.

And the kingdom camp is closely related to power, which specializes in this kind of thing.

So he followed the path he discovered to enter the kingdom camp, and after accumulating contribution points, he entered the mainland training camp and became a fighter.

Now, I have taken another step up, from ordinary adventurer civilian occupations, to soldiers, knight servants, and a preparatory noble. The next step is to enter the real noble ruling class, the lowest level, knight nobles.

But obviously the road ahead of me is a bit off, and the luck is not good, plus this alternative Zhang Qiang, who understands the game better than myself, made me feel bad, and I almost went on the wrong path, no, it’s not bad One for myself, two, as Earl Plais said just now, he is a knight attendant granted by the lord of the Nord Kingdom, and knight attendants are not recognized in the Kingdom of Swadia.

Dewey wanted to pinch Zhang Qiang severely, it was all his fault.

Otherwise, with his own ability and means, the impetuous lord opposite, who seemed a little eager, fell into his own trap and awarded him a knight.

Zhang Qiang's hand dangled in front of Dewey's eyes for a few times, and he touched his forehead, "Wow, have you been hit by a magic barrier and become stupid? It's not like this, isn't it just a knight? As for you? Now he is the most popular person in the kingdom's camp, the city sheriff of Uxhall, what a power he has."

Zhang Qiang looked at the Earl of Plais on the opposite side, and guessed that he must have been unlucky recently. He not only lost his territory, but also lost his own strength, a large number of elite army soldiers and knight generals, and his pockets were shy. No matter what, he came to find a city sheriff who was a commoner, to play off his prestige as a lord and aristocrat.

I really want to help him with the money, but I am also short of cash, and I want to borrow a million gold coins from Dewey to buy the manor and develop my own strength.

He shoved Dewey's leg.

"Isn't it just a matter of money? How much do you want to put in." Zhang Qiang asked.

Dewey glanced at Zhang Qiang, why is this guy so clueless? Would he care about such a small amount of money?

What I care about is the knight noble status of the kingdom camp, which is a step in development.

Although the players in the game world are affected by the gimmick of the "game of death", the number of players has dropped from 3 million to 3000 million, and there is a gradual decline, but if you lose tens of millions from the consortium Funds come in to exchange for gold coins, isn't that a trivial matter?
Zhang Qiang was a little impatient because he couldn't start the situation, and said to Earl Plais, whose face was livid: "Is there no other way for him to become a knight of the Kingdom of Swadia?"

Earl Plais said: "No, unless you show bravery in battle, earn enough merit by beheading the enemy's head, gain the favor of the lord, accept you as a entourage, and then upgrade to a knight through merit and performance from the entourage Servant, let the lord who lacks knights promote you to be his knight, otherwise, there is no possibility, the mainland of Calradia is a world of military exploits."

Dewey said unwillingly, "Can't I pay for it?"

Earl Plais said: "Money can play a role in the civilian camp, but it can't buy military exploits. You need to accumulate military exploits. It's the same as reputation." He pointed to Zhang Qiang and said, "Your friend, the reason why I accept He is my knight because his performance in the civilian camp and his prestige have reached 300, which is in line with the standard of a knight. Moreover, he fought a few battles that were fierce enough that many lords have already started I paid attention to him, and his identity is a nobleman, so he came to my side to be my knight, loyal to me, no one, no lord would laugh at me, he has that strength."

Zhang Qiang touched his nose, he didn't even know that he was already so famous in Calradia.

Zhang Qiang didn't want to get entangled anymore, he still had a lot of things to do, so he patted Dewey on the shoulder, "Give me a quick word, for my brother's sake, release those three people and let them serve as soldiers for my lord. "

Earl Plais said: "I will pay to buy them, and they will be war slaves in the future,"

Zhang Qiang added fuel to the flames, and said to Dewey who was still hesitating: "Brother, if there are benefits in the future, I will never forget you. We have cooperated a few times. Don't you know my ability? Don't worry about those small benefits."

Dewey pushed the table away and stood up, "Okay, let's treat it as a favor to sell my brother, but I also lost a lot of money, you have to make up for my brother."

"Stingy ghost." Zhang Qiang cursed with a smile.
