It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

Those who knew the inside story all stared at Boss Cheng with wide eyes. They never thought that this guy would tell the truth to everyone in such a joking way.

However, no one was willing to believe the truth he told! After all, anyone could tell that the other party's tone was full of sarcasm.

If the boss hadn’t just demonstrated his “super high body temperature” of over 6000 degrees, I’m afraid these 1000 people would have rushed up to beat the boss!

But when everyone was filled with indignation, the boss deliberately added fuel to the fire and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm an alien!"

The author encountered an accident when visiting a grave

It's not a big deal, not the kind of "go up the mountain and set a fire, then come down the mountain and find the police station".

When I was going down the mountain, my foot slipped and I rolled several times on the slope.

The person is not dead yet and his skin is not even seriously broken.

It's just that when I fell down, I got some hard bruises on my old arms and legs.

By the way, some old injuries got relapsed...

The update will not be delayed, it just may be a little later than usual.

So this is not a leave, not a leave, not a leave!

Just report the injury.

In addition, my whole body aches...

0279 Make an offer

This large-scale pretentious meeting was not a sudden idea of ​​Boss Cheng, but a suggestion from the UNSC's Supreme Staff. The reason given by the General Staff is simple: if you don't want to be annoyed to death by flies in the future, it's best to make yourself a high-ranking, god-like psychopath!

"Being high and mighty can effectively reduce the unnecessary troubles caused by others when they actively contact you. Being like a god can give you a status that cannot be desecrated. And the characteristics of a psychopath can make you do things without logic or reason."

This strategy worked very well, at least no one dared to act cheaply in front of Boss Cheng. And when they met every now and then, they were able to chat and laugh with the boss while maintaining a humble attitude.

That’s right, we meet every now and then!

In order to show that Boss Cheng is really an alien, the UNSC decided to stop pretending and even asked the boss to reveal the means of teleportation within the same world. To put it simply, everyone was gathered in the store, and then the closed gate on the mining ship was activated, so that these guys could directly reach the No. 2 mining ship on the back of the moon without the help of any aircraft or spacecraft.

Before they walked through Boss Cheng's store, everyone thought they were going to have a hearty meal in a restaurant run by aliens, and then board a UNSC spaceship to travel into the vast space.

But the result...

As soon as the door opens, people rush in! We have arrived!

This kind of time-travel boarding not only completely loses the sense of ritual of traveling to space, but even the entire boarding process is filled with absurdity and trifling.

But what the Supreme General Staff and Boss Cheng want to see most is this kind of absurd and trifling contrast! Who would have thought that even if they were working on a spacecraft, they would still have the treatment of "work five days and rest two days". The key is that they can go back to Earth during the two days of "rest two days"!

Although their two-day vacation had to be limited to Hualin City and its surrounding areas due to time constraints, Boss Cheng's trick often made them forget that they were working on a spaceship!

Only when they receive extravehicular training can they fully experience the feeling of weightlessness in space. But once they return to the spacecraft, it is basically no different from life on the ground.

After the people on mining ship No. 2 basically adapted to the space life which was very different from what they had imagined, the bridge crew members responsible for controlling the spacecraft also noticed another mining ship drifting on the back of the moon.

However, not long after this mining ship attracted attention, it disappeared in a flash.

The missing ship has already reached the synchronous orbit of Asgard. Mining ships do not have the ability to travel through other worlds. However, the main controller saw that the boss had sent a B-level player and an A-level player to the competitive world in just three months, and that he treated everyone to a variety of fresh seafood from time to time, so he reluctantly helped the boss to send the ship to another world.

But after Boss Cheng and the ship arrived in Asgard, and Asgard filled the ship with people, the boss finally realized what it meant to be "old and wise".

The boss was tricked by Odin, the old idiot, because Odin, who was fully staffed with crew members, told the boss the truth, saying that the Asgardians did not know where the mine was.

“But just because I don’t know doesn’t mean no one knows.”

The boss rolled his eyes and asked Lao Deng directly: "Tell me, who are you going to recruit?"

"The dwarves of Svartalfheim!" Odin emphasized, "They are the most admired craftsmen in the Nine Realms, and are experts in finding mineral veins and identifying rare minerals."

"What's the price?"

"Give them 1% of the profits." Odin replied.

"You're beating around the bush just to get me to pay the 1%!"

Odin didn't say anything, but just looked at his boss quietly, waiting for his answer.

"What are their conditions?" the boss also asked. "They don't think they can get 1% of the finished metal from me just by helping me find the mines, right? Unless they have 10 billion metal craftsmen and thousands of large metal processing centers, this 1% of the output will be enough for them to consume for to years!"

"So the '1%' they need is not 1% of all the minerals, but 5% of the precious and rare metals they need." Odin added, "In addition, they will provide you with 300 sets of special equipment and pieces of refined equipment every year, based on Earth years. And they guarantee that you can use metal resources to exchange weapons, equipment, and other things made by the dwarves."

But Boss Cheng had no idea what the dwarves meant by "specially made" and "refined". Odin explained to the boss: "If there is no evil spirit living in your armor, then your armor can only be considered quasi-specially made armor at best."

The "Chen Guang" and "Dark Curtain" that Boss Cheng had shown off to Odin were also quasi-special weapons. Only after they were combined into the "Eternal" sword could they reach the level of quasi-artifacts. As for weapons at the level of artifacts...

"You can refer to Thor's Mjolnir, which is a magical hammer made by the dwarves."

"But to be honest!" Boss Cheng said frankly, "If I hadn't seen the useless magic effect in my hand, I think your artifacts might not be as effective as the force field sword or my magic axe."

Hearing his boss' words, Odin couldn't help but roll his eyes. Because the reason why the artifact is "divine" is because it contains great divine power. But Boss Cheng is not a problem of being unable to match magic, but a natural insulator of magic. Even if Thor's Mjolnir is in his hand, it is at most a solid hammer with a good balance.

However, Boss Cheng was still curious about what would happen to "him" if his Berserker Armor was strengthened by the dwarves into a divine weapon... no, it would be fine if it was strengthened into a quasi-divine weapon. After all, the boss had promised the Armored Ghost that the armor would be forged once more by the dwarves of this world.

What's more, the requirement to forge an artifact was originally a condition set by Odin for the dwarves in order to take advantage of both sides - if they wanted to join the partnership and share the mine, they had to help the boss forge an artifact.

It is really interesting to say that this group of dwarves who are not much shorter than normal people are really interesting. Because the dwarf tribe cannot produce strong people who can control artifacts, this group of people are not opposed to helping outsiders to build artifacts. However, this group of people who are good at swinging hammers are even better at doing one-hammer business - in the field of customization, these dwarves are even more cunning than those who sell high-end mechanical keyboards and data cables.

"But what does this have to do with me?" Boss Cheng said nonchalantly, "Aren't we going to them to discuss cooperation as fathers? As a father, you naturally have to show some of the status that a father deserves."

Odin thought about it and decided to tell his boss the truth. He said: "In fact, Svartalfheim is protected by Asgard and the Aesir."

"That's the relationship between a protected semi-colony and its mother country, right?" Boss Cheng then asked, "Did Svartalfheim ever attack your port, or do they also have a brother country that is always eyeing them covetously?"

Odin: "Can you please stop forcing Earth's damn international relations onto our Nine Realms?"

A few days later, in order to show his sincerity in joining the group, the dwarf specially selected 3 sets of special equipment and 50 pieces of refined equipment as a gift to the boss. After confirming that his friends had no demand for them, the boss transferred the equipment to the competitive world.

The boss's idea was very simple. Since the dwarf wanted to take his 10% share of precious metals, he had to find a way to make this 10% share create ten times or even a hundred times the profit! And the boss wanted to get the most money and the easiest to fleece, which was the economic world.

"Are all weapons forged by dwarves?" asked the magic weapon development team under the technical department.

The boss answered truthfully: "If they didn't lie to me, then it's all true."

"The three sets of specially made equipment have surpassed the level of the limited edition equipment we manufactured. And the magic affinity of the weapons and equipment is quite excellent."

"So you are satisfied?" asked the boss.

“Not very satisfied, but quite satisfied.”

"Then make an offer. Tell me what price you are willing to pay for these dwarven-forged weapons."

0280 Only insufficient production capacity

“Not very satisfied, but quite satisfied.”

"Then make an offer. Tell me what price you are willing to pay for these dwarven-forged weapons."

"What's the offer?"

"Ask me a price..."

"What's the price?"

"My dwarven weapon!"

"What's the price?"

The boss, realizing the problem, pulled his face down and asked like a man who had been beaten by Sarilang: "Are you here to cause trouble?"

But who would have thought that the other party would actually ask the boss back: "Isn't it given to us for free?"

"Why are you so shameless!" Boss Cheng immediately retorted.

But the other party wants to "rewind the story" to the time when the boss asked them whether they were satisfied.

"Okay!" Boss Cheng let his brain go back to 45 seconds ago and asked again:

"So you are satisfied?"

"Then how can you say 'very satisfied'?" The head of the magic weapon development team answered again: "If it's free, then I'm quite satisfied. If it's not free, then I'm quite dissatisfied."

"No, I mean where did you learn this 'full marks for good and zero marks for bad' thing? As a staff member of the main control, can you please have some dignity?"

But the other party smiled and shrugged, saying: "Although your stuff is very good, unfortunately, we are not suitable."

Boss: ヽ(＃`Д′)?

Boss Cheng, who didn't quite understand the so-called "commercial mutual praise", didn't understand. The other party had clearly admitted that the dwarf's special equipment had surpassed the level of the limited edition equipment they made. But how come this person not only showed Boss Cheng an ugly face of "I want to get something for free", but also said that their production team didn't need these dwarf "special supplies" that surpassed the level of limited edition equipment?

"Friendly reminder, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you!" The development team leader who had given his boss a heads-up asked him, "Do you think that limited editions or things made by a craftsman alone are definitely better than mass-produced ones?"

Boss Cheng asked in return: "Shouldn't the workmanship of limited edition or handmade items be better than that of mass-produced ones?"

"That's just workmanship. But if we look at it from a performance perspective..." The development team leader smiled, "If I tell you that, from a performance perspective, the performance of our mass-produced equipment is no different from that of the so-called limited edition and customized products, and has even surpassed them, what would you think?

In order to make limited edition or customized products appear more expensive, more "value for money", and more able to satisfy the vanity of some contestants, we have to use deterioration methods to reduce the quality of the finished product in order to highlight the non-existent cost-effectiveness of limited edition or customized products.

Of course, another benefit of degrading equipment quality is that it can effectively increase the frequency of equipment updates. It helps to increase the sales of weapons and equipment and effectively control the total amount of Pt circulating in the market. It can also curb the occurrence of hyperinflation and effectively prevent the collapse of the currency system. "

Then, the development team leader took out a PDA and played the real-time surveillance video for Boss Cheng to see.

"You see, in the factory we are in charge of, the dwarves are also responsible for producing high-level magic weapons and armor, and they are produced in an assembly-line and standardized manner."

After that, he asked the boss again, "Isn't it bold to use assembly lines to mass-produce high-level magic weapons and protective gear? In fact, whether it is cold weapons or hot weapons, the ones with quality and scarcity are always the 'God-gifts' selected from the best products in the hundreds of thousands or millions.

This kind of "accident within an accident" created by the coupling of multiple "accidental" factors during the mass production process is the real work of God! After these weapons are selected, they will not be taken away to deteriorate like other mass products. Instead, they will be sent to the hands of master craftsmen to help them dress up. Otherwise, how can they be worthy of the championships of various large-scale cup competitions and leagues at all levels! "

Boss Cheng: (⊙_⊙)

"Right!" The development team leader added fuel to the boss's fire and asked him, "I remember that although your ranking has been in the top 10 for many years, you have never won the Master League season championship, right?"

Boss Cheng: (T＿T)

"So you don't have access to the weapons and equipment that represent the status of the Master League champion, right?"

"Yes, I have come into contact with them." Boss Cheng emphasized, "When they were chasing me and slashing or hacking me..."

Development team leader: (；?д?)

Not anymore!

We can’t continue discussing this topic!

The person in charge was afraid that if he continued the conversation, his insurance would take effect!

So the person in charge of the development team immediately changed his words and said, "However, weapons made by dwarves are quite suitable for being used as ranking rewards in the Svartalheim (the territory of the dark elves) competition! As you know, this kind of competition where you can get limited edition weapons is always very popular. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone through so much trouble that year, and ended up winning a set of female-only Banshee armor in the lottery."

Boss Cheng felt that he was getting more and more angry, and the person in charge of the development team also felt that death was getting closer and closer to him. So the person in charge changed his mind again and said to the boss: "Provide us with 25 of these special weapons every season, but they must be customized according to the drawings we provide. Among them, 5 are finely customized, and the purchase price is 15 Pt each. The remaining 20 are ordinary customizations, and the purchase price is 12 Pt each!"

"But isn't this price a bit..."

"You think it's a bit cheap, right?" The development team leader smiled and said, "But this is the production cost of our customized limited edition weapons."

"No, the price has to go up by at least 30%!"

"It will be increased by 8% at most. If it weren't for the fact that many game maps will be overhauled next season and the game rewards will also need to be updated accordingly, it would be impossible to outsource such important work."

"Okay, deal!"

You asked Boss Cheng why he agreed to such a low offer from the other party?

It's very simple, because the "factory"'s shipping price is lower! The price quoted by the dwarf king Aitri and Odin after collusion is about 9000 Pt to 11000 Pt according to the price of gold recycled by the main controller. Even if it is customized, the price of each knife cannot be higher than 25000 Pt.
