Chapter 295 The Appearance of Robbery Gang (1)
I have been exhausted recently! The plot card is amazing! I am working hard and please forgive me!
Cherishly ask for votes!
For players, August 2100, the game calendar was definitely a very lively day, because in this month, an extremely huge empire or the five most huge empires in the continent fell into extremely serious civil strife. Although the civil strife was only a few counts of Hansting at the beginning, it immediately spread to the entire Hansting area, but before several major powers could see the jokes of the Hansting Empire, the same problems broke out in their own country.
Players never expected that there would be so many demons in the territory they lived in. Although some territories were destroyed in less than a day after they broke out, more places were controlled by the lords, and even some territories from the lords to the village chiefs at the bottom were dressed in human skins, resulting in the entire territory being controlled by the demons.
Compared with other places, although Hugodi was harassed by Dower elves, it is undoubtedly the safest place. After all, after the ravages of Edmons, the Dowers were also seriously injured and were unable to attack any territory for a short time. Now the only one who is indistinguishable from the Imperial Party like Chen Kai is the only one who controls the Xianghu Town in the north and the Xianghu Brotherhood that several player towns are.
However, there are too many players in this group, and almost half of the territory of the Hansting Empire is now in chaos, which has led to the courage of these players. If it weren't for the great casualties and injuries of the siege, they probably had already begun to attack the surrounding aboriginal noble towns. After all, their current camp is hostile to the Hansting Empire nobles. No matter what kind of offensive they launched, it is reasonable, and it does not even require the consent of the Drow Elves.
However, because the siege battles are too great, even if the total number of players in Xianghu Town exceeds 100,000 is not necessarily affordable, so they have the ability to siege but dare not attack any indigenous town. Although the players' powerful siege crossbows can be easily made, in fact, the things made by players are a bit far worse than the standard weapons in the game.
But one day these players will take a step to attack the town. After all, the gold coins that the Drow Elves can support are increasing with the amount of food traded with Berkner Town. Finally, it will start to dry up. Although the Drow Elves are willing to trade the gold coins of their own town to players, these gold coins cannot be used because the Drow Elves exchanged their gold coins to players one to two, but the proportion of the money bags given by the player income system is still one to one. In this way, the more gold coins the players receive, the more losses they will lose. Therefore, even if the Drow Elves are strong, players will still not hesitate to sell money and not the Drow Gold Coins.
Although the Zoer worked very hard to promote their own gold coins, as long as they did not change the exchange rate, players would not be able to ask for these gold coins. No one would want the grain worth one thousand gold coins he shipped to end up falling into his pocket and only five hundred gold coins. Maybe the player would not even be able to collect the capital back. Of course, in this process, Chen Kai would not bear the unreliable exchange rate of Zoer gold coins, and it was precisely because of his insistence on only accepting Imperial gold coins that almost cut off the underground grain transaction with Zoer for this reason.
Of course, Chen Kai's persistence is not unreasonable. In fact, it is not just his persistence. Any player who trades with Zhuoer insists on only accepting Empire gold coins. After all, if they collect Zhuoer gold coins, they can hardly spend them. Zhuoer gold coins can only be circulated in Beihu Town and Xianghu Town. If other places are circulated, they will basically be treated as counterfeit coins.
In this case, when the demand for goods increased again, that is, when the Drawers began to demand more gold coins. Although some trading Drawers allowed players to barter, the Drawers could provide too few goods. Of course, it cannot be said that there were fewer goods, but many of the goods were prohibited elsewhere, such as the Drawers who failed in political struggles, or the dwarf slaves captured in the battles of the underground world, etc. These were sold as goods by the Drawers.
The slaves sold are prohibited items in other places. Of course, it cannot be said that they are absolutely prohibited items. At least some players in Xianghu Town are keen on buying slaves. For example, the beautiful Drow Elf Female Slave is definitely something that many players dream of. Unfortunately, the chance of being sold to the ground is very small, so far there are only two. In order to buy these two Drow Elf Female Slaves, several player bosses in Xianghu Town almost fought and the price even rose to a huge amount of tens of millions of gold coins.
This ten million gold coin is not just the imperial gold coin, but the Zoul gold coin. Therefore, the price of these two Zoul elf female slaves actually exceeded 20 million gold coins. According to the official exchange ratio, it was 20 million rmb. Of course, in order to get this gold coin, the purchaser paid more than 20 million. Because the larger the amount of gold coins, the higher the cash it needs to be spent. In the end, every hundred gold coins exchanged basically cost about 150 to 200 yuan, and the total amount almost reaches 30 million or even 40 million.
Of course, who bought the two Elf female slaves in the end? Some players claimed that they saw them in the lord's mansion of President Li Xiangrong and Li Da. But more players thought it was others, and some even said that Chen Kai, the lord of Berkner Town, spent money to buy these two Elf female slaves. Of course, the last remark was definitely a joke, because Chen Kai was so busy at that time, let alone going to Beihu Town to attend the auction, even if he sent someone, he would not have the time and experience. In fact, when he heard that the Elf female slaves in the past were auctioned at such a high price, the only idea in his mind was to run to rob Beihu Town and grab the tens of millions of auctioned gold coins back, and the reason for all this was because he was about to be driven crazy by Prime Minister Capello.
Yes! When most of the entire empire was in civil strife, Prime Minister Capello's money bag was about to come to an end. Even if the Hansting Empire emperor took out nearly 10 million gold coins as a fee, it would be exhausted in less than a week. Finally, Prime Minister Capello, who was looking for money, focused on Chen Kai, the rich man. Although he knew that Chen Kai would not have much spare money, his eyeliner told him that Chen Kai was holding at least 30 million gold coins in his hand. So the imperial prime minister, who almost didn't leave the imperial capital, walked out of the imperial capital for the first time and ran directly to the small countryside of Berkner through the teleportation array. He snatched away nearly 20 million gold coins from Chen Kai.
Although these gold coins eventually turned into various strategic materials and returned to Berkner Town, Chen Kai felt the urge to cry when he looked at the so-called strategic materials. The four medium-sized magic crystal cannons alone cost nearly 10 million gold coins, and they still used old models. If it weren't for the exception of this prime minister, it would be impossible to use the status of the Baron of Berkner Town to be equipped with such medium-sized magic crystal cannons. After all, even if the old old magic crystal cannon was used, it would be possible to kill a holy land with one shot. Just one cannon, the spent magic crystal stone was enough to make Chen Kai cry. A high-level magic crystal worth 500,000 gold coins could only maintain an attack once. If the shooting was missed, then the million-dollar gold coins would be drifted directly. Even if Chen Kai slapped the table and yelled, the high-level magic crystal that fell into his hand was only ten yuan, two of which were given for buying cannons. The other eight were bought for money.
In this way, nearly 14 million gold coins were spent, and the remaining six million gold coins turned into 6,000 war horses worth 5,000 gold coins, as well as various magic scrolls, magic crystals and other supplies. Anyway, the last 20 million gold coins were sprinkled out, and other things other than those war horses could not pile up a house of 100 square meters.
Of course, in addition to these supplies, what made Chen Kai feel depressed was the subsequent enthronement. Without a real marriage certificate, Su Wan directly obtained the title of Baroness Berkner, and also obtained a territory located in the north of Berkner Town that was nearly ten hectares beyond the border. Although in Chen Kai and the others' eyes, this was just rewarding them with other people's things, because that territory had exceeded the area bordering the border between Berkner Town and Xianghu Town. In other words, this territory that belongs to Su Wan in name requires Chen Kai and the others to use their troops to snatch it back.
If this canonization is not a scam, then the later canonization will directly detonate Chen Kai's harem. Yes! The people of the entire Berkner Town know that the harem of the lord was detonated because of Alyssa, Copper Ring, Lord Lapston. You should know that Chen Kai's original name should be Kaichen, St. Lapston. It was only after obtaining the Berkner Manor, that he got the noble name later, but in the eyes of the top leaders of the empire, Chen Kai still had the surname Lapston. Therefore, in fact, if Su Wan wanted to obtain the title of Baroness, the most should be obtained was Baroness Lapston, not Baroness Berkner. Although the latter means that she has the right to control the entire Berkner Town when Chen Kai died in battle, the former not only has territorial ownership, but also means that she is Chen Kai's wife.
However, since she and Chen Kai did not get married in reality, it was impossible to be given the title of Baroness Lapston. But in the end, the title of Madame Lapston was actually on Alyssa. Almost the moment when Prime Minister Capello's envoy announced the title, the cold sweat on Chen Kai's forehead turned into a waterfall. He could almost imagine that Su Wan's mood was absolutely bad, very bad, very bad. However, no matter how bad Chen Kai's mood was, it would be absolutely happy to have a girl, because the next moment the girl threw herself into Chen Kai's arms and pressed against Chen Kai's chest with his pair of weapons that could squeeze people to death. Of course, soon our Lord Lapston was stared at by his future eldest wife, and then shyly shyly behind Su Wan's back.
In addition to the two ladies, Xu Fei and Su Xinghe and others also obtained the title of title or promotion. Chen Kai's baron was slightly raised, but unfortunately he was still not a hereditary baron. Buying a bunch of supplies for 20 million gold coins, plus a few titles was perhaps the most cost-effective deal Chen Kai and the others did. Of course, Chen Kai initially thought that this was just the benefit of the previous transaction, but then he found that this was just a prelude to Prime Minister Capello's request for more money.
The increase in title also means that Chen Kai needs to pay an increase in the lord taxes, and he has to bear the taxes of Su Wan and Alyssa. The combined taxes of the two are nearly 100,000 gold coins, and Chen Kai’s own taxes exceed 500,000 gold coins. What’s even more terrible is that Xu Fei and his team also have to pay taxes after obtaining the title, because they also have territories. These territories are basically not the north or the east of Berkner Town, and are basically the territories that are now controlled by players under the Drow Elves. Xu Fei and their territories are enough to nearly double the expansion of Berkner Town. However, they are all in other people’s territories, but Chen Kai still needs to pay taxes for it. The total taxes of Chen Kai need to pay nearly 3 million gold coins to Prime Minister Capello. When the money is handed over, Chen Kai’s face is green.
"Your sister! This fat man is so cruel! He will share other people's territory with us! He is so embarrassed to collect taxes!" Fei Yun looked at his territory certificate. Then he looked at the tax bill issued by the tax officer. If it weren't for the territory certificate, he would not destroy it. He would almost tore the kraft paper out of anger.
"No matter how cruel he is! He is also the prime minister of the empire! The boss! How much money is left in private?" Zhao Tiezhu asked softly at Chen Kai, who was like a bitter face. Of course, he looked at Su Wan's face. After all, if Su Wan's face was not good, his supper might turn into a coke steak.
"Ahem! It's better to think about how to make more money if you have time to care about my private money! If the prime minister comes a few more times, we probably will have to drink the northwest wind! Damn, I've seen someone who likes money but hasn't seen that prime minister likes to catch money like this!" Chen Kai glared at Zhao Tiezhu fiercely. He is most afraid of mentioning the words "private money" because he no longer has much private money now and is controlled by Su Wan.
"Although it's right! There are only a few ways to make money now! Now the empire is chaotic, and the food price has almost increased several times! However, the southern territory that produces grain is also a chaotic area. The food trade of the Thor Guild can be guaranteed at present, but it is impossible to expand it!" Xu Fei is now holding the title of Lord Figo, but unfortunately he would rather not have such a title, because a title of 100,000 gold coins. Seeing the gold coins slip out of his pocket, Xu Fei was in a bad mood.
"We have no way to expand the weapons trade on a large scale due to the black dwarfs! Now the black dwarfs underground are almost becoming otaku, and they don't know what to do when they nest in the underground Sewing City every day! Do they want to wait until the Drows are strong enough to destroy them before they run out!" Su Xinghe was extremely angry at the black dwarfs now, of course, referring to the dwarfs underground. The black dwarfs on the ground have a good relationship with him. However, most of the black dwarfs who come to the ground are not very skilled in iron making, and can only make relatively low-level weapons and equipment and armor. They cannot make advanced weapons and armor.
"In the weapons trade, Zhuoer weapons can actually be smuggled more! But their weapons are not of good quality, and they will be used to arm those players!" This was not the first time Guan Yu attended the regular meeting. But what is rare is that he actually started to plot against things other than fighting for the first time.
"In addition to weapons and food, we can actually trade other things! For example, things like demonized spider silk! Although the price of demonized spider silk has risen a bit outrageously, it is still a bit profitable if you operate it well!" Wang Xuewen pointed to his body and wore a magic spider silk robe. This time, the price of demonized spider silk began to fall rapidly after a period of speculation. Chen Kai and the others made a lot of money in this speculation. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be a big deal by Prime Minister Capello.
"If you want spider silk, forget it! The price is still a bit high now. The most important thing is whether every player can afford to wear a magic spider silk robe! If we have our own source of spider silk, it's okay to say that our spider silk comes from the hands of the drow. Too powerful rook is not a good thing!" Chen Kai waved his hand and directly rejected Wang Xuewen's proposal. The price of magic spider silk is still inflated in his opinion, and it simply exceeds the purchasing power of many mage players. The same magic robe, using magic spider silk, is not necessarily much cheaper than the magic mitral robe.
"What else is there in the hands of the Dowers who are worth buying and selling? Are we really going to be slave traders?" Fei Yun said helplessly on the table. In his opinion, the Dowers who are not worth buying and selling except slaves, but slave transactions are illegal in the empire. Of course, the so-called illegality is only relative, because as long as you have enough power and channels, the illegal slave trade can also become a legal labor export. Perhaps there is no problem in purchasing from the Dowers, but if they are used for resale, they will not be able to overcome their conscience. It is a very serious problem to just sell it.
"No! It's absolutely not possible to be a slave merchant! Not to mention whether you can make money or not! The consequences of camp changes alone are not something we can afford!" Chen Kai instantly rejected Fei Yun's proposal. Even if you allow the slave trade, it will cause a crazy decline in the value of kindness for Chen Kai, the lord. If you are not careful, you will turn from being orderly and kind to being confused and kind.
"Then what else can we do?" Everyone was wandering with this question, because making money has become the most important thing in front of Chen Kai and the others. Without money, you cannot recruit players, or even maintain the guard system of the town. The most important thing is that they enter the game not for fun but for making money. If they lose all their capital in the game, Chen Kai and the others will probably not be willing.
"If there is really no way, let's go and rob the neighbors in the north!" Chen Kai stared at Donny who was snoring on the ground. He suddenly thought of an idea that could level up and make money, that is, to loot the players in the north. Although this behavior sounds a bit crazy, Chen Kai found that he really has a foundation in this regard. First of all, he has the most powerful human cavalry unit in Hugodi. Moreover, after the cavalry of the Drow Elves was crippled by Edmons, there were basically no cavalry in the entire Hugodi leadership that could fight against his remaining soldiers. Although there are many players riding horses, they are not regular cavalry. At the same time, Chen Kai's subordinates are all cavalrymen who have transferred their positions to horse thieves. When it comes to robbing, they are definitely more capable than Chen Kai. The most important thing is to rob players in Xianghu Town. Chen Kai will not lose the goodness value because they are originally hostile.
