Chapter 35: A hard-working professional player, the infamous dog planner
Ichigo Zhiqiu's guess is correct, they have indeed missed a lot of good things.
But——
What does this have to do with the noble Demon King?
Anyway, Luo Yan never misses a good thing.
Haven't life players always complained about lack of work?
This is not the case.
He is here to find a job for them!
…
The entrance to the first floor of the maze.
In the main hall covered with cobwebs, a group of black skeletons are standing in line.
The main reason why these guys are so dark is because they just came out of the coal mine. As for those that are not too dark, they are for digging iron.
Speaking of this, Luo Yan had to complain about the quality of the bones buried in this mine.
Perhaps it’s because the people buried here have been dead for a long time. Some players dug up and found that the bones fell apart, leaving only half of their bodies stuck on the ground.
Humber Luo Yan really couldn't bear to deduct their contribution value for these unlucky little guys who died unexpectedly, so he finally allowed them to pay it with Ming coins.
Why not just waive it?
That is of course because some professional combat players protested and shouted something like "This is not fair, unless you give it to me, I will be exempted."
Then let’s make a compromise.
In any case, whether you give it or not is a ghost coin. He thinks it doesn't matter, as long as the players are happy.
"Is everyone here?"
Appearing as a BOSS, Luo Yan counted the number of people present and found that there were surprisingly many players who came to join in the fun.
Not only players from the "Mining Department", but also players from the "War Department" came over.
He nodded, with a satisfied expression on his face, and went straight to the point without waiting for the players to reply with a protracted "Everyone is here."
"The most important and basic resource among them...is the magic crystal."
Hence as small as the magic crystal chalk used to draw the magic circle, the wick in the magic crystal lamp, as large as the core unit of the war beast and the core of the Demon King's territory...all are inseparable from magical things like magic crystal.
The most amazing thing is that this thing will only condense after the death of the monster.
There is no such thing while alive.
Luo Yan has a reasonable suspicion that this law may have been set by a god in the First Era.
But this is not important.
The important thing is that he now wants to teach these young players how to collect magic crystals from the corpses of cave spiders!
Luo Yan erected a wooden board in the open space and started writing and drawing on it with a charcoal pen.
… The collection of magic crystals is a major science. A skilled craftsman can remove the magic crystals within three swords, and ensure the integrity of the monster's body to the greatest extent, without damaging other valuable materials."
Few people can understand the abstract ghost painting talisman.
Whether it's the players standing obediently or Yoyo looking worriedly at the side.
Finally, the nosy Youyou could not help but speak in a low voice.
Luo Yan, who was speaking vividly, had a stagnant expression, so much so that he even forgot the line he had just spoken in the middle of.
However, the players cannot see Yuyou after all, and he is left alone there in embarrassment.
… Okay, okay, I got it, shut your mouth first, this is acting, I'm doing a plot animation, what are you in a hurry!"
Pushed the board away angrily, Luo Yan took out the crystal ball from his arms and walked to the body of a burrowing spider.
"...Theoretical teaching is over! Now, I will teach you the actual operation process."
As he spoke, he took out his wand and used cyclone to turn the body of the burrowing spider over.
Subsequently, he operated the cyclone to float the crystal ball aside, and took out a silver knife and sliced open the back of the spider's head.
The dark green crystal is about the size of a thumbnail and is hidden near the superior pharyngeal ganglion.
He used the knife to gently pull out the magic crystal, dragged it on the tip of the knife and showed it to the player.
"Look, it's that simple."
He was worried that the players wouldn't see it, so he specially used his wand to light the torch on the side.
When they saw the miraculous craftsmanship of Lord Demon King, many players clapped their hands in surprise.
Selectively ignoring the sounds of "skip" and "GKD", Luo Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly proudly.
Joking.
He is also a top student with perfect scores in theory classes.
Especially recently, not only the theoretical classes, but also the practical classes have become visibly better.
"Very good, now that you have learned, let's start working!"
"Remember what I said, pick the magic crystal without destroying the monster's body as much as possible!"
/>
"There are a lot of treasures in the burrow spider, from glands to teeth, to spider silk and chitin exoskeleton... Forget it, it's of no use to you if I say this. You just need to know that it exists."
He waved his hand, freeing the players' feet before they began to try to use their hands instead of their legs to walk.
In an instant, the players present dispersed like ducks in a hurry, rushing towards the nearest burrow spider corpses, and gesticulated on them with the daggers snatched from the Rats.
As long as you take out the stone from the monster's brain, you can get a reward equivalent to cutting off a mouse's tail!
Get 100 and you will get extra contribution points!
This task is too profitable!
Looking at the scene where the players were busy, Luo Yan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but express "It's really good".
The low IQ of summoned objects has always been the most troublesome problem for all mages who specialize in summoning spells.
For example, the Bond he is using.
Although it is possible to project mental power to perform micro-management, it will affect the casting of spells and is not easy at all.
Not like his cute little players.
More artificial intelligence than artificial intelligence.
This fellow who calls himself the God of Machinery really left a good thing for himself.
"Lord Demon King...what is the use of collecting these magic crystals?" Looking at the complacent Luo Yan, Youyou asked curiously.
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"That's very useful, for example, the most direct one is that it can be sold for money."
The magic crystals on adult crypt spiders are much larger than the magic crystals dropped by skeleton soldiers, and they are also much more valuable.
According to the knowledge he tortured from Chris, a Crypt Spider's magic crystal can be sold in the Adventurer's Guild for 100 copper coins, and a better quality one can even be sold for 120 copper coins!
Although this amount of money is not much, it is enough to cover part of the deficit of the necropolis. When his "royal merchant" comes next time, he happens to use magic crystals to replace part of the payment.
By the way, the exchange ratio of Austrian Empire copper coins to Austrian silver is about 100:1.
It is said that two centuries ago, this number was still 25:1.
The reason why this is happening is superficially because of inflation, but in fact it is still because of "indirect taxes".
The emperor added copper to the silver coins, and the nobles added lead to the copper coins. Over time, it ended up like this.
I heard that because they couldn't stand the exploitation of the empire, the academic states in the north even used magic crystals to replace the niche of silver coins for internal circulation... After all, there were not many feudal lords there anyway, mainly mages and mage towers.
In contrast, the hell that only has one currency, "Keira", does not have these problems.
In hell, when the price of one thing increases, everything else increases. Rounding it off means that everything does not increase. There will never be a situation like the Aussie Empire in which the price of bread increased, but the price of wine did not.
Although Luo Yan didn't know what was so funny about this, in short, it was also one of the human jokes in hell.
Yuyou continued in a low voice.
…But, you are the Demon King, is it really useful to ask for so much human money?”
Luo Yan said matter-of-factly.
"Of course it's useful, I can't use Keira to buy things in the human world, right?"
Construction is very expensive!
Especially repairing teleportation arrays and altars to summon other monsters, the cost is almost the same as repairing wonders!
And preaching is also a costly job. He can't even support a few acolytes without money.
There are only skeletons in his territory now, but it cannot always be skeletons.
He is also a devil with dreams.
Just when Luo Yan was thinking about the bright future of the cemetery, he suddenly found a skeleton standing still.
That ID is also very pitiful. It seems that he usually eats a lot of food and has to use a big bowl to be full.
Looking at [Xiao Wan, who was about to cry because he couldn’t eat enough], Luo Yan sighed and said.
"You...go and clean up those cobwebs."
It just so happened that he planned to transform the entrance of this maze into other facilities.
I really can't stand the corpses of burrowing spiders. Is it okay to clean up the spider webs?
"As you command! Lord Demon King!"
Xiao Wan breathed a sigh of relief after not having enough to eat, and happily ran to clean up the cobwebs.
Is this pua?
It is also something I don’t like to do, but because it is less annoying than another thing I dislike even more, I feel happy instead.
Luo Yan suddenly felt a little guilty.
very good.
This shows that he did something right again.
…
Luo Yan watched the scene for a while and saw that the players were more skilled than he thought, so he turned back to the Demon King's territory and went into his workshop to brew the magic potion.
Compared to the magic crystal.
He felt that the "veterinary medicine" from hell should be worth more.
Since there are so many materials, it would be a pity not to work through them a little.
By the way, he can also record some material so that interested young players can learn from it.
Just as Luo Yan left the maze, Arakdo from Shadow Weaver's lair quietly led a group of hunters into the main hall at the entrance of the maze.
This is Her Majesty the Queen's "pioneering land", and it is also a place that adventurers call the "Beifeng Mine Entrance".
But having said that, since its birth, it has not seen many adventurers come in through this entrance.
The moment it stepped into this territory, it saw a scene that it would never forget.
Bodies all over the ground!
Dried plasma is like a dried up stream!
And what shocked it was not just that, it saw a group of skeleton soldiers holding knives, actually dissecting the corpses of its kind like the adventurers outside!
"These bastards..."
Some hunters were angry, rubbing their mouthparts together, wanting to rush up and chew these skeleton soldiers into ashes!
However, there are also some hunters, whose scarlet pupils reveal uncontrollable fear.
Skeleton soldiers...
They are lower-level monsters than rat men, and almost no one except slimes will pay attention to them.
However, at this moment, these skeletons, which should have been mindless, actually possess wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans!
What scares them is not only the skeletons themselves, but also the necromancer who summoned them -
How powerful is that guy! ! !
"Retreat!"
The resourceful Arakdo was frightened and gave the order to retreat without hesitation. Before the necromancer discovered it, he decisively led a group of hunters to quickly evacuate this land of right and wrong.
Running all the way.
Halactor did not dare to stop at all, and went straight into the depths of Shadowweaver's lair, the palace of Lord Arachnos!
Dense and tight spider web.
The huge Her Majesty the Queen is chewing her mouthparts, reminiscing about the taste of the male burrow spiders from before.
It has just been fed.
In any sense.
At the risk of being eaten by His Majesty, Arakdo trembled and kowtowed to the ground.
"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, I have investigated the situation in the pioneer land!"
Moving his enchanting and huge body, Arachnos looked at his ministers lazily.
Tell me what is going on there.
"It's the Necromancer!"
In an instant, Arachinos straightened up, with panic written on his face.
"Necromancer?! How can there be a necromancer?!"
Human beings will not cultivate such a stinky thing, and this kind of stinky thing will not run into the maze without any problem!
There is only one possibility -
He is a guy with a professional background!
And maybe it’s still from that place!
"That necromancer is very powerful! The skeletons he summoned are not only intelligent, but also have extraordinary power above bronze or even stainless steel! My most cunning hunter Alatrulu died in their hands!"
Arakdo stated his findings, with a hint of fear and even fear in his scarlet pupils.
"You can't be wrong..."
"He is the successor appointed by Hell...the new Demon King to succeed the Demon King Reggie Dragon!"
