Chapter 784 Land
The entire light armor is made by hand. The pitch-black armor plates are layered with ropes and pressed on top of the brown leather armor, just like layers of fish scales.
The reason why the leather armor is brown is that there is a layer of something similar to natural gum on it, which is mainly to prevent rain and moisture.
The entire light armor is divided into many parts, including helmet, gauntlets, wrist guards, shoulder guards, breastplate, and leg armor.
Coupled with the long bow used by the archer, Yang Bo's game character looks particularly powerful with the blessing of such brand-new light armor.
Su Wei knew that armor was of high value in the game, and civilians were not allowed to wear armor.
Only nobles and soldiers can equip metal armor.
Even the three-layer leather armor used by ordinary infantry is a strategic material.
Ordinary hunters are equipped with single or double layers of leather armor at best.
“Aren’t you awesome?” Yang Bo also asked with a smile.
"Awesome, you have made such a big contribution this time, I wonder if you will be given an official position?" Su Wei chatted privately while controlling the game character and walking Mao Mao.
"I don't plan to be an official. I don't have any foundation now. If I become an official, I will be a mere commander. Maybe when the people below do something, I will bring some rags to my pocket." Yang Bo followed Su Wei while walking Maomao. Send a message explaining.
In a room of the March Star Swordsmanship Association, the president of the association chuckled: "You see, this is a smart person. Some people want to be an official after hearing about it."
"You don't even look at the virtues of these nobles in the second world game. If they really have no foundation to be an official and take someone else's position, they might be beheaded soon."
The assistant to the president was extremely depressed beside him. Yang Bo had made great contributions in the Second World game. He wouldn't even serve as an official in tmd. If he were replaced, he would definitely become an official and manage a large number of subordinates.
Hearing what the president said, I wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason.
“You weakling, the worst thing you can do is give it a try!” In the end, the president’s assistant could only say these few words.
“I am the weakling you call me. I have won 40 billion in real life, and I still have such a status in the game.”
“It doesn’t matter that Yang Bo doesn’t choose to be an official in the game, but who among the people in Green City doesn’t know his abilities?”
"I will get more credit in the future. If you don't have any foundation, don't think about unrealistic things." The president laughed.
"You are so boring. I feel like vomiting when I hear 40 billion." The assistant president stood up and wanted to leave, but he also wanted to see what Yang Bo had planned.
Yang Bo was chatting privately with Su Wei in the game: "This time I sold all the credits to see if I can get some territory around Green City, recruit some people first, and train some teams."
What Yang Bo said was a lie. In fact, he wanted to find a territory just to facilitate his future settlement on the second world.
It is better to have a bad territory, not too good, because a territory that is too good will be remembered by others.
“Oh, you’re going to have a territory?” Su Wei sent a message in surprise.
“I just don’t know how valuable this eagle eye is. If the value is enough, I think the nobles in the city would be willing to exchange some territory for it.” Yang Bo replied the message.
“The territory is also very troublesome.” Su Wei nodded and replied to the message.
“This will also make it easier for me to recruit game players in the future.” Yang Bo sent another message.
“Of course these gamers want to eat and drink in my territory, but in reality they have to pay.”
“Are you supposed to collect rent?”
"That's for sure. If you don't want the game character to freeze to death or starve to death, you have to give me money and work for me?"
“Otherwise, I, a noble, will treat them as criminals and send them to the war front as cannon fodder!”
"You are so cunning!" Su Wei thought she knew Yang Bo was joking, but she didn't know that her brother's game character was sent to the front line for robbing Yang Bo.
“These guys from the Alliance are really after money!” The assistant to the president of the March Star Swordsmanship Association was speechless when he saw this scene.
“Then I don’t believe that he is going to do this, and he is so lenient in collecting money. These gamers have to give money in reality, and they still have to do work in the game!” The president laughed.
“No more!” The president’s assistant turned and left.
“I want to see how arrogant Yang Bo can be if his game character is recycled for research.” The assistant to the president left after saying this.
Yang Bo certainly didn’t know that his game character might be recycled.
Yang Bo controlled the game character and started training wearing light armor. These armors have been tested in actual combat. Maybe they are not ergonomic, but they are more practical.
These armors will not affect a person's performance between actions, or have minimal impact.
At the same time, Yang Bo also adapted to the long bow used by archers.
The longbows specially designed for archers have a very long range, and there are several types of arrows, including heavy arrows for heavy armor defense and armor-piercing arrows. These are not cheap because they are made of fine iron.
If during a battle, these arrows will be marked, so that we can know who got the credit later.
Su Wei took Maomao for a spin, and then played the game again.
“Pasture?” Locke hurried over not long after playing the game the next day. Someone was willing to trade a piece of pasture for Hawkeye’s credit.
“This pasture is not small, and it is not very far from Green City, in the direction we can see.”
"But this pasture also has shortcomings, that is, half of it is a barren mountain. The mountains are covered with various rocks. Only less than half of the area can feed livestock." Locke pointed to the distance.
“The most critical thing is that there is not much land that can be planted. There are less than 100 acres that can grow crops.” Locke said again.
The world’s crop yields are very low. “Would you like to go and have a look?” Yang Bo didn’t care whether the land could make money. The key was to see how the place was.
As for half of the mountain, it would be better. When the time comes, we can build some laboratories under the mountain.
No one will care if the territory does not make money. In the game, you have to continuously make money to supplement the territory.
“Then let’s go.”
Yang Bo and Locke rode to the land. The straight-line distance from Green College was only about 7 kilometers.
The territory is a mountain. The other side of the mountain is a relatively steep cliff, and this side of the mountain is a gentle slope.
Half of the entire mountain is covered with various rocks and shrubs.
Only the lower half of the mountainside can feed livestock.
The good news is that there is a stream in the territory, and the water comes from the mountain.
Only a very small area below is terraced land, and the rest is a kind of hillside.
On one side of the territory is a river valley about ten meters high. Of course, during heavy rains in summer, the water here may be full.
On the other side is a raised hill.
The entire area is still very large, about three to four square kilometers.
The core of the ranch is on the raised hills, with houses built on them, but they all appear to be wooden buildings, and there are no stone buildings that can resist the bandits.
“This tax?” Yang Bo is only worried about taxes now.
Yang Bo also knew that good land would definitely not be his turn.
The foundation of the nobility is land. Only with enough land can there be enough food to feed enough subordinates.
In fact, most of the income of nobles in this world comes from land.
It seems that the caravans of the great nobles are very profitable, but they also face many dangers.
“Don’t worry about taxes. You only pay taxes based on the land you can cultivate.”
“There is absolutely no problem with the parliament. You saved everyone this time.”
"Hawkeye's contribution is both great and small." Locke said again.
Yang Bo understands this. In his previous life, when watching the news, someone in a certain county did something and it became a hot topic.
There are so many people who are doing better than him, why can’t they be on the hot search?
This is the same thing, and it can be big or small for different people. If someone has connections behind them, they can naturally push it, and there are people above to support them, so it is easy to climb up.
It doesn’t matter, no matter how well you do, no matter how hard you push yourself, if no one from above responds, it means nothing.
Just like this Hawkeye, although he is a wanted criminal in the Kingdom and the Continental Congress.
If someone gives you a push, then it’s a big win. If no one gives you a push, you’re just a wanted criminal.
“There are now five households in this ranch, including the steward. These will also be transferred to your name without any cost to you, and of course the other party will not compensate you.”
“Then it’s settled!” Yang Bo nodded directly.
"Good!" Locke expressed pleasure that Handy did not ask who was the other party to the transaction.
“In addition, the credit for other cavalry will still be based on the previous price?” Locke asked again.
“Sir, do you want to leave some credits?” Yang Bo asked.
“My credit is enough.” Locke replied meaningfully.
Yang Bo feels that he should get rid of Locke in the game because he feels a bit unreliable.
Locke is obviously an indigenous person, but he may have had a chip implanted in his head.
As for why the Shuilan Empire did this, it must be because they want to get what they want through Locke, and there must be more than one person in the Shuilan Empire.
Once this kind of thing is discovered, it is very likely that other similar people will be discovered from various clues.
Many times modern people have an inexplicable sense of superiority and think that they are smarter than ancient people.
This idea is wrong. Yang Bo does not dare to look down on anyone in the second game world, especially these nobles.
If you want to think that nobles are idiots, you are totally wrong. This is also the biggest reason why most gamers do not do well in second world games.
So Locke’s method is a big problem for Yang Bojue. Once this routine of gaining credit is noticed by others, it will be easy to find the same other people from this routine.
Unless the Aqualan Empire directly uses warships to airborne without respecting martial ethics, and if it is to be done according to the rules of the second world, then the Aqualan Empire's approach has a high chance of failure. Just like everyone is reading a novel, whether the results are improved or not. You can tell at a glance.
“Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. Are you about to be promoted?” Yang Bo inquired.
