225 Master Crossbowmaker
225 Master-level crossbowman
In Wuwei City, the Monopoly purchased five idle workshops from other NPCs at a high price, as a workshop he cooperated with Xiaobai Village. This workshop is easy to find, just spend money, but it is much harder for master-level craftsmen.
It is difficult to hire a master-level NPC craftsman, not only because of his high salary, but the most important thing is that he has a stubborn temper and has a big temper, so he doesn't care about the players at all. This requires the Monopoly to take action personally, visit various places in Wuwei City, and hire master-level craftsmen to work in his workshop.
Zhan Xiaobai had nothing to do anyway. With "respect" and curiosity for the masters and craftsmen, he followed the Monopoly to see how big the masters of Wuwei City had.
The two of them took a carriage and headed to Dongcheng District.
Zhan Xiaobai asked: "How many NPC craftsmen are there in Wuwei City?"
The Monopoly said: "As far as I know, there are at least 20,000 craftsmen of all kinds in Wuwei City, of which more than 15,000 are intermediate, junior craftsmen, more than 5,000 are senior craftsmen, more than 300 master craftsmen, more than 20 master craftsmen, and one god-level craftsmen."
Zhan Xiaobai was surprised, "There are god-level craftsmen in Wuwei City? How powerful are god-level craftsmen?"
The Monopoly said: "That's right, there are indeed. But this is also something that I heard from. The items made by the god-level craftsman are naturally treasures, or even magical artifacts. These items are priceless, and one thing is comparable to the property I have earned in half my life."
Zhan Xiaobai asked: "Where can I find this craftsman?"
The Monopoly laughed and said, "Sir, don't make any decisions about him. Not to mention god-level craftsmen, even grandmaster-level craftsmen, we will definitely not be able to hire them."
Zhan Xiaobai was puzzled: "What?"
Monopoly explained: "The god-level craftsmen and the grand master-level craftsmen are all mastered by the wealthy gentry in Wuwei City. They are specially made tools for these gentry. Will they give up these craftsmen?"
Zhan Xiaobai nodded. If it were the NPC wealthy gentry who controlled these top craftsmen, he would have no choice. His power could not shake these NPC wealthy gentry.
The Monopoly continued: "Not only the god-level master-level craftsmen, but even the master-level craftsmen are mostly hired by them under the wealthy families, powerful people, and wealthy families. It is difficult to ask for it. Even if it can be asked for it, you cannot ask it, otherwise it will cause big trouble."
Zhan Xiaobai said: "All master-level craftsmen have been hired and left, so where should we find a master now?"
Monopoly explained: "This is not. There are quite a few master-level craftsmen in Wuwei City. Although most of them have been hired and left, a small part of them are strange in nature, disdainful to the powerful and powerful, and hide in the city of Wuwei City. In addition, occasionally, senior craftsmen have just been upgraded to master-level craftsmen, and they have not yet been hired by the wealthy family. We can still find some master-level craftsmen."
Zhan Xiaobai nodded: "It seems that he can only attack those master-level craftsmen who have not been hired by others. These craftsmen are in Dongcheng District?"
Monopoly said: "Dongcheng District has two-thirds of the civilian workshops in Wuwei City. If you want to find master-level craftsmen, you must find them here. However, I am very familiar with the craftsmen here and know where there are master-level craftsmen. The village chief just comes with me."
Soon, they stopped in a dilapidated alley in Dongcheng District. This alley full of low huts is the residence of NPC poor people, with no shops or valuable items. There are only dozens of NPC poor people who are penniless, and even players will not come to such a place.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Dozens of NPC poor people in the alley looked at them strangely and didn't know why they came to such a place. Several NPC gangsters of level 20 came up without any intention and tried to rob. Unfortunately, before they got close, they were stopped by two strong guards of the Monopoly on the carriage. Their armor and bright weapons were very fatal. Several NPC gangsters immediately walked away embarrassedly and did not dare to get closer.
The Monopoly led Zhan Xiaobai into the alley, came to a broken house, pushed the door open, and entered, and said, "The person living here is a weapon maker, who is said to be a craftsman from the Weapon Manufacturing Department of Wuwei City. He lives in seclusion here and has extremely exquisite craftsmanship. If you can invite this master, there is no problem making money."
"What weapon did he make?"
"The village chief doesn't have to hurry, you'll know right away."
This is a small courtyard where the sound of wood cutting and sawing sounds came from inside.
Several people were stepping in.
"blow--!"
A sharp short arrow suddenly attacked the Monopoly and Zhan Xiaobai. The Monopoly was not panicked, and Zhan Xiaobai had no time to react. The short arrow cried and brushed past one side, and a "thump" sound was nailed to the door panel of the small courtyard, and the iron arrow tail swayed and clanged.
Zhan Xiaobai looked back at the short arrow on the door panel, surprised and happy, crossbow arrow?!
In the courtyard, there are many materials and utensils, as well as some semi-finished crossbows.
A big NPC man holding a crossbow in one hand looked at them coldly, "This arrow is a warning to you uninvited guests that not everyone can come in here and leave Zhao's house immediately. Otherwise, the arrow would be so easy to talk to."
Zhan Xiaobai immediately understood that this NPC man is probably a master-level crossbow craftsman.
The Monopoly's guard was furious and pulled out his spear and was about to rush over to teach the man a lesson.
The Monopoly stopped the guard and laughed: "It's nothing if you want to kill me, but the lord who accompanied me doesn't know whether you dare to kill me."
The npc man was stunned and then saw Zhan Xiaobai's official waist card. He was from the Weapon Manufacturing Department and was very awe of the people in the government. He was stunned for a while before putting down the crossbow and bowed, saying, "The Caomin Zhao, I have seen the adults. I have offended you so much, so please atone for your sins."
Zhan Xiaobai quickly said, "It's okay, it's all misunderstandings just now, it's okay. Uh, the master can make crossbows?" asked knowingly.
The npc man said, "Yes, the grass people know a little about the art of making crossbows and can make ten different types of crossbows. I wonder if the adults come to me..."
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said directly: "The old man and I came here to invite the master to come out..."
"Don't go!"
The npc man vetoed Zhan Xiaobai's proposal without thinking.
"High wages, 5 to 10 guan a month..."
"Copper coins are like dirt, what are the uses of grass people coming?"
"High welfare, a red brick and green tiles high-end housing..."
"Caomin's broken house is very good, and it's not a good house to live in."
"There are fixed monthly vacations, and there are three-day trips to Chang'an and Luoyang every year, which are considerate of the physical and mental health of employees..."
"The grass-roots are busy and don't like to be idle for a day."
"Arranged marriage, arrange npc women..."
"Caomin is married and has no plans to take a concubine yet."
.........
Five minutes later, Zhan Xiaobai used all the temptation methods he could take and was defeated.
Zhan Xiaobai was a little embarrassed and waved his hand to the Monopoly, but he had no choice.
Liu Bei ran to invite Zhuge Liang, and then invited a god to the cottage three times. He is now in the eighth rank official position, but he can't even invite an NPC craftsman, which is a bit embarrassing. Let the Monopoly take action.
The Monopoly laughed and said, "I don't want to do this, and I don't want to do that. How can the master come out?"
The npc man has already started processing crossbows. While making semi-finished crossbows, he said, "It's easy to ask Zhao to come out of the mountain. Zhao has a young girl who is seriously ill. If two of them can find good medicine to save their lives, it's okay for Zhao to serve the adults."
When Zhan Xiaobai heard this, he immediately said, "Oh, I don't know what disease does the Master's daughter suffer from?"
The npc man led the two into a room in the yard, which was full of medicine. An npc woman was cooking medicine. A npc girl was spread out on the bed in the bedroom.
The big man worriedly: "It seems that it is some kind of epidemic. He has searched all the doctors and pharmacists in Wuwei City, and many drugs have not been cured."
The Monopoly and his guards were startled and ran out quickly. Ordinary illnesses are nothing, they are most afraid of the disease that will be infected. Plague is even more terrible than thousands of troops and gunpowder.
Zhan Xiaobai was not afraid, so he stayed in the room. He was a player, and no matter how he died, it would be like that.
He just felt a little tricky.
From recruiting masters - to publishing good medicine to treat diseases - to finding good medicine, this is obviously a very traditional game task process. In this way, the simple recruitment of craftsmen will evolve into a chain of tasks. If this medicine involves other tasks, it will be even more troublesome, and a series of tasks will be the most time-consuming.
The most important thing is that he doesn't spend so much time on such tedious tasks. He can only spend a small part of his time with the Monopoly to recruit craftsmen, and then he will do other things.
Zhan Xiaobai used to recruit NPCs directly and deal with various problems directly in Xiaobai Village. He has never been in contact with this kind of NPC chain task. This chain task may only be in Wuwei City. It is not clear how difficult it is. However, the game usually has the same profit size as the task difficulty. The task of recruiting a master craftsman is afraid that the difficulty is not ordinary.
If he cannot find medicines for curing diseases in a simple and direct way, then he is afraid that he will not give up on this craftsman.
Zhan Xiaobai felt a little regretful.
When the man saw Zhan Xiaobai shook his head, he knew that Zhan Xiaobai had no choice but to say sadly: "I heard that the great wise and good teachers are superb. Fu Shui cures diseases and saves countless people. I am afraid that only the great wise and good teachers in this world can save the little girl."
Zhan Xiaobai was shocked.
