February 10th, the third day after leaving the plane of El.
After a heart-pounding expedition, Li Cha took a rare few days to relax and was not in a hurry to do anything.
Everything in Twilight is developing steadily within the established framework, with no extras.
Chi Chi woke up, finished his lunch leisurely, and was sitting in the hall sipping hot tea made by the maid, when a sound of footsteps approached quickly.
Li Cha turned his head to look, and Karu appeared in his line of sight with pale hair, wrinkled face but particularly bright eyes.
After standing still and saluting, he said slowly.
"My lord, there's new news from Val..."
Only then did Li Cha put down the teacup in his hand, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"What's up?"
Karu calmed down his shortness of breath, and said in a concentrated voice.
"Vair said that the recent aristocratic forces in Solan City are talking about your status as the Lord of Grace."
"Especially the hot topic is...hunting the Lord of Greed on the plane of El."
Speaking of this, his eyes couldn't help becoming hot.
He didn't expect at the beginning that the battle against the El plane would have such a big impact, and such a legendary deed of killing gods would happen.
That is the Lord of Greed!
An evil **** of this level died at the hands of his master, and was witnessed by countless divine favor lords!
What a dazzling record is this? !
After he heard the news, he was stunned for a long time, and only after confirming that he had heard correctly did he dare to believe it.
The evil **** who holds the power of greed has a great reputation on the main plane.
The evil gods of the Seven Sins, because of their original sin, have almost become the regular villains used by the sects of the light sect to intimidate believers.
It is conceivable how strong the impact is when an existence of this level falls into the hands of its own ruler.
It's no wonder that Weier's letter described the news with a lot of pen and ink.
After taking a deep breath, he continued.
"The ruler of Soran City, His Majesty the legendary ascetic monk, received news for the second time yesterday that he wants to meet with you."
"And this news was personally brought by His Royal Highness Chris."
Li Cha's expression didn't change.
Because of the live broadcast, billions of viewers witnessed the battle, and it was impossible to hide what happened on the plane of El.
He was mentally prepared for the turmoil this incident would cause.
"That Grand Duke Soran, did you say anything?"
Karoo said in a low voice.
"The crown said that he wanted to talk to you about the development of the plane."
Li Cha narrowed his eyes slightly.
Did it really start?
After capturing the plane of El, he immediately sensed the business opportunities in it—as long as he masters enough planes, he can open up business routes leading to various areas of the main plane.
This is a temptation that no force can refuse.
I just don't know... Grand Duke Solan, a legendary ascetic monk, has discovered the obelisk.
This is what he values most.
The ancient rules, for any ultimate existence above the legend, that is an opportunity to become a god.
"Give Weier a message. I will go to Sauran City at the end of the month. When the time comes, I will meet Grand Duke Sauran."
"yes!"
Karoo nodded immediately.
The Violet Chamber of Commerce is still in Solan City, and it is impossible to avoid the ruler of that city.
After Li Cha finished explaining, he seemed to have thought of something, and his tone was somewhat pleased.
"Major progress has been made in the research and development of the magic sound box?"
Karu's slightly dignified expression immediately relaxed, and he said with a smile.
"That's right, my lord, after the group of god-blood gnomes you sent into Furnace City, they greatly accelerated the development of the magic sound box."
"Now, it has officially entered the mass production stage."
"Currently, the Furnace City can produce 100 units per day!"
A few months ago, the output of the magic sound box could only produce two or three units a month. Compared with it, it has already made leaps and bounds.
Li Cha was very interested.
"Yes, progress has been made, but these numbers are far from enough."
"We need more!"
"Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times!"
"No matter how much the quantity is, the market can digest it!"
"This is another important commodity for us to earn resources in addition to Hei Ning ice cream. We must increase production at all costs."
For this fantasy version 3, Li Cha has extremely high expectations.
For the "Glory Era" where life is expensive and scarce, the magic sound box that can play music undoubtedly has an irresistible temptation.
And he asked Furnace City to change the research direction to the 3rd mode from the very beginning, or call it the tape recorder mode.
The current magic sound box is just a player, and the carrier of music is another item—
Magic sound tape, fantasy tape.
The advantage of this design is very simple. After selling the magic sound box, it will continue to sell tapes.
With the player, tape income will also become a major event.
What makes Li Cha more important is that as long as the magic sound box can be expanded, it can be used to expand more industries in the future-star-making, cultural promotion, advertising...etc.
Once the magic sound box takes shape, the explosive industry will definitely make anyone's heart tremble.
There are many smart people in this world, and there may not be any players working in this direction, but Furnace City has taken over the complete scientific research system of the gray dwarves, and now there are hundreds of blood gnomes who have activated the knowledge of the gods to join.
The research and development of the magic sound box is definitely ahead of everyone.
As long as his speed is fast enough, it is enough to eat the richest piece of fat before everyone reacts.
This point, even if the player knows, there is nothing he can do about it. Without enough talent reserves, everything is just fantasy.
Karoo was also quite excited.
Only after touching the magic sound box did I know how much potential this alchemy item has.
During this period of time, he took a few samples to check the product, but after using it, he felt itchy in his heart, and he couldn't do without listening to it every day.
Now what he has to do every day is to listen to all the two magic sound tapes before going to bed.
The singer in the magic sound box is a rare dark elf in the underground world. The beautiful singing voice is simply captivating.
If he saw the magic sound box outside, he would buy one even if he had to dig out the bottom of the box!
After Li Cha finished his instructions, he continued.
"About the anti-theft issue of the magic sound box, how is the development of the blood dwarf?"
Although the design of the magic sound box is ingenious, it is not impossible to manufacture it with the background of those great nobles.
"Glory Age" does not have any copyright protection, what can you do if someone else has the ability to create it?
Moreover, the forces that can manufacture magic items are generally not weak.
Karoo's tone was somewhat admirable.
"The god-blood dwarf is worthy of the blood of the gods, and his knowledge reserve is amazing."
"They came up with several special methods. First, use a special energy source to power the magic sound box."
"Through a special magic circle, the elemental energy is compressed into the crystal."
"Our magic sound box can only be activated with this special energy source."
"If the energy source is wrong, it will cause damage to the magic sound box."
"Secondly, the more complicated magic array. The magic array used in the magic sound box is the knowledge inherited from the gods, and only dwarves can understand it. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to decipher."
"Third, fixedly upgrade the magic circle. The dwarf specially set up a few imperfect magic circles. After the launch, you can come to upgrade for free every six months or a year... This can cultivate customers' habits and loyalty .”
"Fourth, what you mentioned before, the separate magic sound tape, only the magic sound tape that we made, the playback function of the magic sound box will be activated."
Li Cha smiled when he heard this.
"What if someone bypasses our magic sound box and develops their own magic sound box instead?"
"They don't need the rules and regulations we put in place."
Karu didn't hesitate, and immediately said.
"Our think tank has discussed this in detail and finally concluded that this approach is inevitable and difficult to eliminate."
"So the best way is to occupy the market as soon as possible and make our magic sound box an item that everyone needs. In this way, even if other magic sound boxes are produced, buyers will not give up easily because of the cost. us."
"In addition, you can also do your homework from the contents of the magic sound box."
"For example, launch higher-quality magic sound tapes and allow more races to participate in the sound recording."
"If a person has hundreds of magic sound tapes, is the other party willing to give up our magic sound box?"
Li Cha was basically satisfied with this answer.
Obviously, Karoo is studying this matter with all his heart. Although there are still many imperfections and a bit taken for granted, it is not bad.
Moreover, the angle of view is very broad, and it was not in vain that he often instilled various modern ideas in him during this time.
"How much does it cost to produce the magic sound box?"
Karoo smiled bitterly.
"Because the functional design is hugely different from the original version, the production cost of each magic sound box now requires 500 units of rare resources."
"The magic sound tape requires 100 units of rare resources."
Calculated in this way, a set of magic sound boxes that can play requires 600 units of rare resources?
Li Cha was thoughtful.
"What about the energy crystal that provides the magic sound box?"
"The energy crystal is transformed and suppressed by the alchemical magic circle of the blood dwarf. The manufacturing cost only needs 10 units of crystal, and the production speed is also very fast. Each energy crystal can support the magic sound box to play continuously for a week."
"As for the price, have you discussed it with Weier?
"Magic sound box with magic sound tape, a set of 1000 units of rare resources."
"If purchased separately, the magic sound box costs 500, the magic sound tape, and a rare resource costs 300."
"Energy crystals, 30 units each."
Li Cha nodded, the price is still reasonable.
This thing is different from Hei Ning ice cream, it cannot be sold so cheaply.
Production capacity is limited, and it is not a consumable product. It is too wasteful to use small profits but quick turnover for this kind of durable goods in the early stage.
And selling too expensive is not conducive to popularization. His many follow-up plans will be useless if there is no large number of users as the basis.
"Increase production capacity as much as possible and reduce costs."
"As long as the Magic Music Box creates a sensation, there will be no shortage of our competitors in the future."
Li Cha was very calm.
"So, until the daily production reaches 1,000 units, the sale will be suspended."
"In addition, let the blood gnome start researching the next version of the magic sound box, we need to consider new products."
"In addition, as I told you last time, the magic sound box that can display images has to be developed."
"These are not things that can be successfully developed in one or two months. They require long-term investment. The earlier you start, the sooner you will see results."
Above 3, it is naturally 4 that can watch videos. This thing is several steps more difficult than simply playing sound.
But if it can be developed, the profits earned are absolutely huge.
No matter how bad it is, let a few hot races shoot some interracial love, I believe there will be many honest gentlemen who will buy it.
Watching movies is a basic need of the people.
Having just acquired three extraordinary troop lairs, Li Cha's desire for resources has once again reached a new level.
High-level units consume too much resources.
If the financial resources are not expanded as soon as possible, Twilight City will be sucked dry by the lairs of the troops in his hands.
Being in the depths of the desert, it is impossible for him to rely on the abundant resources around him to develop like other forces.
The underground world and the plane of El have their own situations.
If you want to grow rapidly, the best way is to develop products with strong competitiveness.
Hei Ning Sorbet, White Tail Absolute Brew, Magic Sound Box, and even resource products—Desert Crown Honey, Flaming Dragon Rabbit Hair, are all his main means of earning resources.
After tasting the sweetness, I don't mind digging deeper in this area.
After chatting for a long time, they discussed in depth the future development of the magic sound box, and repeatedly told Furnace City to put the magic sound box in the first research sequence. Li Cha didn't stop and went on to the next topic.
"How is the expansion of the raw material of Hei Ning Sorbet going?"
Hei Ning Sorbet is the fantasy world version of Coca-Cola that he wants to create, and Hei Ning Sorbet with perfect taste, powerful function and low cost fully possesses this potential.
Especially in the desert, this kind of food that can bring absolute coolness is simply a killer.
"The planting bases in the underground world have expanded to 30, 15 of which use the alchemy harvesters produced by Furnace City."
"Because the Eternal Land is still in the process of rapid expansion, there are still many uncertain factors, plus the need to build the Eternal City, we have only tentatively designated the agricultural area, and have not yet started planting."
Li Cha nodded.
"The agricultural area of the Eternal Land can be postponed, and it will not be too late to reclaim it after it stabilizes."
"The El plane also has a lot of land, you can send people to find suitable planting spots later."
Land and population are all resources, and the plane of El obviously has the potential to develop a great planting business.
After Kalu answered, he immediately added another sentence.
"How efficient is the Alchemy Harvester? Is there a plan to use it?"
Karoo was beaming.
"It can be compared to the work efficiency of fifty or sixty people. If it is further improved, it will be even better."
He swore that if he hadn't seen with his own eyes how lightly such a huge machine used in war sows and reaps, he would never have imagined that alchemy could be used in such a place.
The emergence of large-scale machinery has made harvesting and sowing extremely convenient and saved a lot of labor.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is an unprecedented leap forward.
Li Cha nodded, feeling much better.
Months of investing a lot of resources have finally paid off.
Comfortable.
Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Karu took the initiative to speak.
"My lord, in addition to reporting the news of Val, I also have some good news - with the help of the blood dwarves, the white-tailed cat tribe has successfully developed a new 4-star fine wine... The Rhyme of Twilight!"
Li Cha's eyes lit up.
The white-tailed brew of the white-tailed cat clan can generate hundreds of thousands of rare resource income for Twilight City every month.
It's a pity that the output is too small, and it needs to be brewed by the white-tailed cats themselves, so there is no way to produce it on a large scale like Hei Ning Sorbet.
Now that there is one more fine wine, there is no doubt that there will be another source of income.
This is definitely a major benefit for him who is on a tight budget.
"How does it taste?"
"It's scorchingly hot and hot like a magma eruption. It's very exciting. We let the residents taste it, and it's very popular with those strong men. Women and old people can't accept it, and they still prefer Whitetail Wine."
Li Cha nodded, no wonder it was called the Rhyme of the Desert.
"As for the output, can it catch up with the White Tail Absolute Brew?"
Carew laughed.
"Only more and less!"
"The first batch will be produced at the end of this month!"
Li Cha nodded happily. UU reading
The magic sound box was successfully developed, the production base of Hei Ning ice cream began to expand, and the white-tailed cat clan had new products......
This feeling of watching my layout bear fruit step by step is very fulfilling.
After thinking for a moment, he said slowly.
"The second research and development of Hei Ning Sorbet needs to be stepped up."
"The solid Hei Ning sorbet, although not worrying about selling, may not be liked by everyone."
"You can try to turn a solid into a liquid...to have the same effect."
"And you can follow the idea of Hei Ning Sorbet, looking for magic plants that can drive away the cold - if you can produce a drink to keep yourself warm for a long time, I think its sales will not be worse than Hei Ning Sorbet."
