Chapter 43 Recruitment
What she wants is not red medicine but explosives! After learning the details, I realized that I had made a very failed decision! The profession of crystal chocolate is a blasting expert. Like the resurrection mage of roses, this is a profession that integrates the main and the auxiliary. Blasting experts can use explosives to mine, smeltek and other auxiliary work, and blasting is also a powerful killing weapon. According to herself, she once used an explosive trap to infiltrate a level 650 boss, although she used explosives worth 100 crystal coins.
But at least she was only more than 300 levels at that time and a level 650 boss with an assassin who was not a few levels higher than her! Although the money released by the boss was not enough for 100 crystal coins, she released a valuable piece of jewelry at that time, which was much more valuable than explosives. However, her profession was obviously opportunistic, because the synthetic materials of explosives were expensive, and not every monster had equipment, so she was generally in a loss state. This is why she came out to make money.
"Are I following you or going to work directly?" After receiving her into the meeting, she began to rush to go to work.
"You follow me first! Even if you tell me that place, you may not be able to find it!"
"Oh! Then I'll just follow you!"
"Yang Kun, take us to find craftsmen?"
"Oh! OK, come with me!"
Yang Kun specializes in this. The roads in the City of Craftsmen are very familiar. Before we walked, we arrived in front of a row of low houses. Yang Kun said that this is the residential area of dwarfs. Because no one among the dwarfs is more than 1.6 meters tall, the house is only two meters tall in total, which is enough for the dwarfs, but we felt a little uncomfortable when we entered! We wouldn’t be hitting our heads, I wasn’t that tall, but I just felt depressed!
After entering the house, I found that the stone house can only be described in two words in simple words! There should be many tables, chairs, benches, but there are no other things! There are a circle of dwarves sitting next to the table in the room, which looks like NPCs, because they are all wearing ridiculous chain mail.
Yang Kun whispered in my ear that these were guards of the dwarf kings, and then he walked over by himself. The dwarfs seemed to know Yang Kun, and one of them stood up. "Isn't this Yang Kun? Why are you running again? Is there a big business?"
Yang Kun took out a small gourd and put it on the table. The dwarf immediately snatched it over and pulled out the plug and took a sip of the thing inside. "Elf wine! Good stuff! Tell me! What's the matter?"
"My client needs to build a huge city, and he likes your architectural style very much. I hope to meet the king and ask him to send craftsmen!"
"This is probably a bit difficult!" The dwarf who had drunk the wine thought for a while and said, "It will soon be our annual Ore Festival! As usual, we will not take on business at this time!"
"Please give me some advice!" I walked up and took out 5 rubies and gave each dwarf on the table one!
The dwarf representative excitedly held the gem and looked at it for a long time. "You wait!" After saying that, he ran away and lost his shadow. It was indeed rich and easy to do things! He ran back in less than 5 minutes. "The king happened to have time, so you come with me!" After taking the money, he had better efficiency!
We were soon taken to the palace behind. The roof here was much higher and felt much more comfortable! There was a throne covered with gems at the other end of the huge hall, and a dwarf covered with gems from head to toe was sitting on the throne. It seemed that he was the king!
"You are the ones who want to hire craftsmen?" The king straightened up the topic.
"Yes! We need to build a very huge city. Only dwarf craftsmen can complete such a huge project!" Yang Kun believes in the truth that he says more good things and spends less money. The flattering person makes people dizzy!
"You also know that the Ore Festival, the most important festival of our dwarves, is coming. This is our greatest festival. It is really embarrassing to hire craftsmen at this time!"
I quietly poured out one-third of the gems from the bracelet. "If you are willing to help me, I will not forget the dwarf's credit. These will be a personal reward for you!"
The king saw a bunch of gems and his eyes were straightened. It took him a while to recover. "Well! This! It has been thousands of years since we celebrated the Ore Festival once a year. It is no big deal to stop once occasionally, right? I agree to let the craftsmen help you build the city! But at least you have to take out so many gems as a thank-you gift to the laborers. I believe that after getting so many gems, they will not care about a festival!"
I took out all the remaining gems in one breath. "Is that OK?"
Putong! The king fell on his seat, frightened the minister beside him and shouted in panic: "Come on the healer! The king has a heart attack again!"
Dizzy! The dwarf king has a bad heart. If I had known this, I wouldn't have used so many gems to stimulate him! Fortunately, the situation was not very bad. The therapist got up before the king had arrived. "Take the guests to the VIP lounge, I'll go there later."
We were taken into a very gorgeous room, at least in the dwarf's standards, this room was already gorgeous! The king didn't ask us to wait too long, but it was not him who came. A dwarf such as minister appeared in the room. "I am the king's labor consultant, and the king asked me to handle your affairs in full."
"Where is the king himself? He has no problem with his heart?"
"The king counts the gems behind...!" He suddenly realized that he was slacking off. "Uh! No! I mean the king rests behind. You know that counting sheep is easier to fall asleep quickly when people sleep. His Royal Highness's habit is to count gems and fall asleep!"
"Oh!" I really didn't expect the king to have this hobby! "So, our employment agreement..."
"There is no problem with this! The king has given me instructions! You will give as much labor as you want, and the salary will be charged at half price! This is the agreement form, you can fill it out!"
I took the form and saw that most of the things had been written on it. I only left a few necessary names without filling in it! The agreement itself was not long, and I finished reading it in a while. I looked at Yang Kun next to me again. He quickly finished reading it and said to me: "No problem!"
I entrusted Yang Kun to fill in the remaining blanks, and then I confirmed the contract. According to the agreement, the dwarves gave me a mobile teleportation array, which can be folded. This thing is directly connected to the dwarves' craftsman's residence. As long as I expand it in my own city, the dwarves will immediately come out. However, this thing can only be opened twice, and after the dwarves' teleport to the city, it must be closed. After the work is completed, they will use this thing to return to the craftsman's city, and then this thing will be automatically destroyed!
After leaving the dwarf's fortress, we arrived at the above-ground part of the Craftsman City through a natural spiral staircase composed of the roots of big trees. It is impossible to tell at all that this is a city. Although there are many artificial buildings, they are basically covered with green plants, leaving only doors and windows and other passages. Unlike the dungeon, the crowds on the streets are mainly elves, and dwarves generally do not like to see the sun.
“Do you need a craftsman?”
“Do you need a craftsman?”
...
As soon as we came out, we were surrounded by more than 30 players, and they said the same thing. "Quiet!" I shouted to stop the noisy crowd! "Don't quarrel, the number of craftsmen I need is huge, and the total number is definitely more than your number, so as long as your technical level is sufficient, you must be needed, so don't fight!"
When we heard that there were many people, everyone immediately became quiet. We just rushed to get on because we were afraid that we only needed one or two people, and we wouldn't be able to get a job if we were too late. Since we must have more jobs than people now, why should we grab it?
Yang Kun stood up and said, "We will recruit people in the central square in half an hour. Because we are building cities, we need tens of thousands of craftsmen, and there must be many positions. If you have friends, please notify each other. We only need carpenters, blacksmiths and stone carvings. Carpenters should be at least level 10 or above. Stone carvings should be at least level 15 or above. If there are any craftsmen of particularly high level, we can also come. We will hire them with high salaries. Everyone, please inform your friends!"
After hearing the news, the people around him scattered and most of them went to find craftsmen they knew, but some people ran aside in a state of ease and continued to look at the customer. It seemed that these were people with insufficient rank or wrong industry!
After the people dispersed, we rushed to the central square to wait for the workers to register. In fact, the number of players is definitely not enough, so we finally have to find npc to fill in the numbers. There are two reasons for recruiting player craftsmen first. First, players are cheaper than npc, and players only charge more than half of npc craftsmen for the same job. The second reason is that there are a lack of advanced craftsmen in Npc, and the best craftsmen among the Npc craftsmen who can hire are only at level 15 of the player's skills. Although super craftsmen like Clark are better than those who are full of skills, the number of Npcs is very small, and they count them with ten fingers. Moreover, those craftsmen are specific Npcs, and they will definitely help you with money! For example, Clark is, he doesn't accept the business of ordinary people!
A short while ago, people gathered in the square. There was a thing like a podium, with a sound-amplified magic array on it, which was specially used for the customer to hold job fairs, but this thing costs money. We chose a rental method that took a long time, just like surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe, and then calculate the money when we came down.
About forty minutes later, there were almost 3,000 people gathered in this small square. I didn’t expect that there were so many people! Yang Kun cleared his throat and said the request just now, and then said: “Now, if there are advanced skills such as carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, stone carvings, etc., please come to the stage and we will sign the contract on the spot.”
As soon as we finished speaking, more than 30 people jumped up, including men and women. I asked roughly. Most of these people were stone carvings from level 16 to 18, with a total of 22 people! Among the remaining 8 people, three level 17 blacksmiths, three level 18 carpenters, and one level 17 stone mason. What surprised us was that the last person was a level 20 gem craftsman, and he was also a special pro. His ability was to inlaid gems for cities. Most people inlaid gems on equipment to add attributes to equipment, but he could inlaid gems on city buildings to provide special attributes and functions to cities. Except for the gemsman, we signed contracts with an hourly salary of 2.5 crystal coins. With this call for the high salary (25 yuan per hour should be considered a high salary) the people below became even more excited.
The next recruitment work was handed over to Yang Kun. Anyway, they were all low-level jobs, so I don’t have to ask them all! The salary given to Yang Kun is not for nothing, he has to do something when he collects money! I took the crystal chocolate and pulled the special profession to the nearby tree house bar to discuss his profession in detail.
"I will introduce first. My name is Zi Ri, and I am Gu Zhu. The city I need to build is mine. This beautiful lady is called Crystal Chocolate. She is also a special professional like you, and she is also my employee."
"Hello!" The young man politely answered us. "My name is Chunqing Han Han Kuai." He looked shy, like a girl, maybe because he was young! He seemed to be two or three years younger than me.
"Hello. Can you really put gems into the city in this profession?" Crystal Chocolate began to be curious about his profession.
"Really! I can indeed inlaid gems into the city. In fact, this skill is not to inlaid gems for the city, but to inlaid gems on any solid surface that is hard enough, and of course, it also includes the city walls and buildings!"
"Do you have a gem like me inlaid?" I pointed to the black crystal above my head.
He seemed to notice the crystal. "Oh! Oh my god! Is the one you are using is the best black crystal?"
"Yeah! Yes! But it was repaired once, and it is not certain whether it can be used now. Maybe this thing is a bomb now," said Deken so uncertain, and I can't do anything about it!
"It's so beautiful!" He seemed to realize that it was rude to leave us aside, and quickly came to his senses. "I'm sorry, I'm so surprised. You actually have such a good gem! Wait! Can you show me your hand?"
I saw him notice the gems on my hand, so I stretched out both hands. "This one is the best ice crystal on the right hand, and this one on the left is the best poison crystal. There is also a top fire diamond on the belly, but it has been soaked by magic mercury. Now it has turned red and white!" People like him who are skilled in the art will not let him study everything they like enough. Don't expect to talk to him.
After looking at three gems, he said: "The gems I set on different things are different. Generally speaking, there is no problem in setting any gems on equipment, but only the lowest-level gems are usually placed on buildings."
"Can you only have the lowest level gems?" I was a little disappointed.
"It's not only, but it's average. There is no problem in setting high-end gems, but you may not have that many, right? Do you have the ability to inlaid the city with top-quality crystals?"
That's right! I'm so lucky, I got 4 top-quality crystals in total. Even if I can be inlaid in the city, where can I find so many top-quality crystals! Low-level crystals are different. The lowest-level gems are called gem ore. This kind of thing is basically the same as ordinary ore. Although it is more expensive than ordinary iron ore, it takes as many as you grab it! "Do you know what the purpose of inlaiding various gems in various buildings?"
"I know a little, but it's not all. It's mainly because the customers in the past are reluctant to spend money. Although gems ore is not as expensive as pure gems, it is still very expensive compared to ordinary building materials. Therefore, most customers only ask me to put some ideas on important parts on the city walls, so I only know the effects of a few combinations."
"What do you know?"
"It's mainly the city wall! We have inlaid poisonous crystal ore on the city wall before, but the city wall has a slight toxic surface, and it only works against the enemy. Whenever we touch the city wall, the enemies are poisoned! There is also a city wall with sunstone ore, and the city wall will partially reflect light magic and can absorb a certain amount of dark magic. Other gems have not been inlaid on the city wall. However, another time, someone asked me to inlaid an ice crystal on the top of the door of the council hall. As a result, the city is covered with frost and cold, and later I had to dig it down again!"
"That means you don't know what will happen if you put the gems in, right?"
"I also practiced the gemmaster to level 20 and just transferred, and I don't know anything about these things. I will record the results of each inlay, but I have too few opportunities to inlay! So I only know a little bit of it. Oh, by the way, there is an interesting design. Just insert a small amount of fire diamond ore in the pool to get an artificial hot spring!"
"What do I want to do for hot springs? Don't worry, wait, maybe this plan is good! If you put more, can you boil the water?"
"have no idea!"
"Let's try it back, maybe we can create a boiling waterfall on the city wall!"
"Boiled waterfall?" I was confused by the innocent and naive man.
"It's nothing, I'll tell you when I go back!" Last time I saw the Temple of Light attacking Aisinger, I was very interested in those water pumps. Those things can draw the lake water to other places through the teleportation array. What if that thing is turned upside down? If a pool full of fire diamonds can boil the water, I have a large boiler. Then I placed the water suction port of the teleportation array in the pool, and the outlet was designed to be more than ten meters above the ground in the city gate corridor. Aisinger's city wall is thick and high, and it is almost impossible to break through this kind of city wall. The only weakness is the passage of the city gate. But if the top of the passage is out of the top of the passage, it is almost impossible to break through this kind of city wall. The only weakness is the passage of the city gate.
At the water outlet, as long as someone attacks the passage, I will start the transmission array, and the boiling water will be transported into the passage and poured down. No matter what is in the passage at that time, it will definitely not be good to be poured with boiling water like a flood! Even if they are not afraid of hot water, as long as I install a few more outlets and use the flood to directly rush the enemy out of the passage. Anyway, Esinger is high in the middle and low in the surroundings, and the water will only run out of the city. As for the water source of the hot water pool, there is no need to worry about it. Esinger is leaning against the sea. Is there any place that has more water than the sea? Just dig a passage and install a blocking net. I don’t want any fish to run into the pond to cook a pond of fish soup!
The result of discussing with Chunqinghan and Hanjianzai was that he was also recruited by me. I finally tricked him into the guild, and I couldn’t let him go! As for the salary of inlaid gems, we decided to calculate according to the working hours, 5 crystal coins per hour, which is a very high salary!
When we returned to the square, the recruitment was not over yet, but there were not many people waiting. We helped Yang Kun sign the rest quickly, and then went to the Elf Craftsman Union to find NPC to make up for the insufficient number of people. Given that the Dragon King greeted me in advance, I did not enter the Elf Union. The elves who love life and nature would not like me, a dark creature full of death!
Although Yang Kun looked like a profiteer, he had to admit that he was still very good at doing things. After a while, he came out with the written contract. I read it one by one, and then chose to confirm it. The contract turned into a white light and disappeared, and it officially took effect.
The staff were all arranged, and I took Yang Kun and the others to go directly to Aisinger. Because the City of Craftsmen does not have a teleportation array, we must return to the underground part from the original spiral ladder formed by the roots, and then leave the city from the exit there! When we were passing by the square at the beginning, we saw a large group of people standing in the square. These guys were obviously not craftsmen. They were all holding weapons. It seemed that a guild came to find craftsmen.
A leader in the crowd was talking to a person next to him, and the man pointed at us, and then the boss walked straight towards us with his subordinates.
Chapter completed!
