Starting from Zero

The reason is actually very simple, but it is also very complicated.

The reason is simple because the people who are attacking our city are actually my customers, so the more they have, the more I earn. The reason is complicated. Naturally, the person who hit me is my client. The relationship is quite complicated.

If you want to know why the attackers are my clients, you have to start with the guild forces in the United States.

In the United States, the main guilds are divided into several large guilds. Among them, the Gunner’s Holy Lance League and Usina’s Rainbow League are the leaders of that kind of guild. Terry’s Sea King’s Palace is considered the peak of the strongest guild. Needless to say, the status of the three guilds in the United States naturally goes without saying, and their influence on American players is also amazing.

Because of the instigation of these three guilds, many "hobby free" American players have picked up their weapons and launched freedom to our "evil Eastern organization". war. As for how many people in this army of purely scattered players and small guilds are really fighting for freedom, how many are for racism, how many are for U.S. sovereignty, and how many are purely for fun, That is not what we need to care about. In short, these people gathered for a variety of purposes, and then took part in this protracted and progressless war of attrition with their discomfort with a Chinese guild building a city on American territory.

At first, this war seemed to be meaningless, but because of the participation of the three major guilds, it had different meanings. On the surface, the significance that the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow Alliance preach is that their fighting prevented the evil Chinese power from expanding further in the United States. However, secretly, the only benefit of this war is to promote consumption. Yes, it is to promote consumption.

It costs money to fight a war, and the Holy Gun League and the Rainbow League are naturally impossible to fully cover this cost. Of course, as a large guild, they can't pay a penny, otherwise others will definitely not. Therefore, the final external propaganda of the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow Alliance is to support the war at a loss. All the materials consumed in the battle are all produced by the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow Alliance, but for the players participating in the battle, only the cost of manufacturing materials is charged, and the two major guilds put their staff to contribute to the war against our guild invasion.

Such propaganda can be said to be full of incitement, and the materials sold by the two major guilds are indeed much cheaper than those sold outside. Even at this price, many people will come to buy these. The materials then participate in the war. As the No. 1 strong war guild in the United States, Neptune Palace was naturally the first to stand up and respond to the call to purchase large quantities of materials, not to mention sending people to directly participate in the war from time to time. This vanguard and exemplary role naturally attracted the participation of a large number of people, which made this battle large and protracted. But what is the truth?

The truth is that the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow League have not produced any war materials at all, and everything is made by our guild. In other words, the cannonballs, bows and arrows, scrolls, and the medicines that American players use to hit us are all made by us. Of course, we are not made in vain. Didn't those players pay the money? Although the price is indeed much lower than those sold outside, it is not really low to the point of losing money. Although calculated according to the price we sold to the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow Alliance, our profit per item is only about 8%, but we are wholesale to the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow Alliance anyway, and we don’t want to sell it ourselves, 8% The low profit is a little low, and it is also profitable. Moreover, although the profit margin of this project is not high, it wins in a large amount and stable demand, so it is still very profitable.

As for why the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow League are willing to help us do this, is this unclear? Our guild spends 100 crystal coins to produce things, add an 8% profit point and sell them directly to the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow Alliance. They get the things and add 8% directly to them, and sell them at 116% of the cost. This 8% removes the cost of the sales channel, and they can drop 5% to 6% anyway. They didn't make things. They just changed hands and got 5% to 6% profit. Why not do such a good thing? As for the matter of leaving our own production materials and eating alone, people with brains will not do it. It seems that you can get 8% more profit by producing the materials yourself, but are the materials changed by yourself? Doesn't it require equipment and labor to produce those things? Don't you need people to manage these things? Don’t you need to pay someone to hire someone? Our guild already has several super production bases. In terms of cost control, the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow Alliance are definitely stronger. We can get 8% of the profit in production, and it would be good if they can produce 2% of their own production. Besides, the fundamental reason why these materials were consumed so quickly was the war against the starting point city. The starting point city is our industry. If we don't cooperate, they will simply not be able to proceed with this matter. Even if they solve all these problems, are they not afraid to offend me? For the sake of such a profit, turn my face with me, turn my face with the Frost Rose League, fools can do that kind of thing.

Because our guild has such a cooperative relationship with the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow Alliance, for me, the group of people outside the city are simply not attacking the city, but helping our guild to generate income. , They are not enemies but customers to me. Of course, this kind of customer must never be promoted, otherwise the customer will really become the enemy.

Of course, some people may say that our guild will also lose and consume in battle, so it is not worthwhile to do such a thing for the 8% profit. However, what I want to say is that this is actually a good deal, because this matter needs to be calculated separately.

First of all, although the defense war will cause the material consumption and property loss of our guild, this consumption itself is unavoidable. Even without the instigation of the Holy Gun League and the Rainbow Alliance, those American players are still the same. A Chinese guild city will not be allowed to stand on American soil, which is a serious violation of the national pride of the American people. Because of this, the instigation of the Holy Lance League and the Rainbow Alliance only increased the frequency and scale of attacks, and the increase in the investment of our guild was not very large.

Secondly, although the defense war is a war, here is the game, a game with combat as the main theme. Fighting in such a game will not only cause damage and loss, it is different from reality. In reality, war will only cause destruction. Although many people can whitewash that there will be no construction without destruction, they also have to admit that destruction first occurred before construction, and it was quite serious. However, the situation in the game is not exactly the same. The death of the player in the game can be resurrected. Although the level will drop, the loss is relatively small. Furthermore, in the battle, because the personnel of our guild and the American players do not belong to the same national camp, we have EXP and various war points for killing each other. This is also the reason why our guild always rotates the players on duty in the starting point city, not because the players here are very casualties, but because the upgrade here is very fast. In other words, this war not only brought us financial benefits, but also directly created a large-scale leveling venue for our guild players.

Different from the general field leveling point, the starting point city defense war is an urban warfare, and it is also a national warfare between different national camps, although its scale is very small in a national war , But the system recognizes that it is a national war. We can get various guild points in the battle, and we can get national war points for killing players from other countries, as well as city defense points, enemy slaughter points, guild integrated points, A series of points such as guild killing points, guild war points, etc.

In short, the defense of the starting point city may only be a small profit if you look at the money consumption alone, and sometimes even lose a little money. However, the huge points it brings and the benefits of EXP are something you can't buy if you have money, not to mention that we can still make some money out of it now and then. It is an idiot not to do such a cost-effective thing.

Standing on the city wall and watching the charging American players everywhere, I was a little excited and said to the Queen of Blades and the ghosts beside me: "Look, these people are all here to give us gifts. It's money."

"en. Huh?" The ghost at first didn't react, but after um, it was found that something was wrong. "President, what do you mean...?"

"Hehe, anyway, you know that these people are all crystal coins for us."

"Then we can't Shoot against these people?" asked the Queen of Blades.

I shook the head with a smile. "How can we make money if we don’t make money? Of course we have to make money. Just pay attention not to be too exaggerated. You can destroy some people or destroy some materials. As long as you don’t affect the balance of the battlefield, there is nothing at worst."

"I don't understand."

"You don't need to understand. Now you can just follow me." As I said, summon went out of Ye Ying and climbed up. Ye Ying stepped into the city wall and stepped directly on the shoulders of the famous unlucky ghost. He only heard a boom, the guy was stepped directly into the ground like a wooden stake, only half of his head was still on the ground. superior.

As soon as Ye Ying hit the ground, I grabbed the eternity and flicked it on my side. The softened eternity instantly ejected a long barrel and hook blade to both sides. The ultra-long heavy hook and sickle gun took shape in an instant, and then When I slammed to the side, there was immediately a splash of blood and water. Three American players who rushed up with long knives on their horses fell to the ground, followed by being trampled into mud by the horses behind them.

Seeing that I had gone down, the ghost and the Queen of Blade also jumped down. Their battle method is different from that of the player. Although they can also use magic devices on their bodies to launch various kinds of skill effects, they don't like to use that skill under normal circumstances. For them, direct slashing with a weapon is a common tactic, and they have to admit that their common tactics are quite effective.

Although there are expert players who are inspired by the Holy Lance League and Rainbow Alliance, they have to say that such people are rare, so we did not touch anyone who was a little in the way along the way. superior. Of course, it could also be because we were too strong, and we were killed without discovering it when we encountered an expert.

Easily kill a pair from the American player’s offensive force. After passing through, we are directly out of the battle from the back of the battlefield. Although this is a good opponent for earning guild points, it is not needed. We are here to kill the enemy, there are naturally many players in the city lined up waiting for points.

Because the Transmission Formation cannot be used, so after leaving the battlefield, we directly used the flying method to directly find the Holy Gun League headquarters. Of course, you must come in quietly. Although many people in the Holy Lance League know that we have a secret agreement with the Holy Lance League, after all, this matter is not visible. It is always good to be careful.

I removed the disguise after entering the guild headquarters of the Holy Lance League in disguise mode. There will be no other people here except the middle and high-level personnel of the Holy Lance League, so there is no need to worry about problems such as being seen through here.

"Huh? Isn't this the president of Purple Moon? Why did you come to me in time?" As soon as I removed my disguise, the Gunmaster walked out of the headquarters with two people. Just hit us head-on. I glanced at the two people around the gun god, meaning to ask them if it is not convenient to reveal our relationship. The Gun God is also considered a guild leader-level figure, and his brain reaction is naturally not slow, and he immediately understood what I meant when he looked at my eyes. "Oh, let me introduce you to you." The gun god said to the human on his left: "This is Miller, the president of the Magic Research Association."

"Hello." was introduced. After that, Miller immediately reached out to me and said, "Purple Moon has always been my idol, and I finally saw Daoist today."

I was slightly surprised and shook hands with this Miller. Then he politely turned over, and finally asked: "So what, I don't seem to have a positive image in the United States, right? This idol...?"

"Oh, I'm talking about technical achievements "Miller quickly explained: "Your Frost Rose League's technical level is really very desirable. If I have the opportunity, I really want to go to your place for research."

I glanced at the gun god. "I really wanted to dig you back, but I was afraid that the front foot would take you away, and the gun god on the back foot would rush to Isengard."

The gun god heard my ridicule just laughed, Then I briefly introduced the other person. Obviously, he was not well-populated. It might be just Miller's entourage.

After the greetings with these two people, Gunslinger asked me to wait for a while, then sent the two out of the door to a member to continue sending them and then turned back. "Why are you free to run here?"

"Why do you have to say hello first when you come here?"

"I just think you shouldn't be so busy It's just leisure."

As the gun god said, he took the lead to walk into the guild, and I naturally followed along. Seeing me moving, the ghost and Queen of Blades naturally followed suit. However, just after we walked through the lobby and entered the core area of ​​the guild headquarters behind, two players from the Holy Lance League reached out to stop the ghost and the Queen of Blades.

There are not many people who don’t know me in the game, and it’s even impossible to have such a person in the guild that has direct contact with us in the Holy Gun League. So the two guards didn't stop me, but they stopped the Ghost and Queen of Blades. Obviously they regarded them as my entourage.

It's okay to be stopped at first, but the bad thing is that the blade and the ghost are not easy to provoke. From the moment they showed their own personalities, I found out that these two guys’ personalities are obviously of the kind that don’t want to lose, and because they have the habit of acting stupid in front of outsiders, they were intercepted by those two. , Blade and Ghost unanimously pushed the two people who stopped them at the same time.

It’s nothing if it's just a push from the average person, but can the ghost and the blade be seen by the average person? These two are simply abnormal. Hearing only two booms, the two players seemed to have been nudged slightly, but the whole person flew out like a cannonball, and then smashed into the buildings on both sides.

The Gun God looked back in surprise and looked towards Blade and Ghost. To be honest, he also regarded these two as my entourage or new demon, but it is only now that he realized that these two are definitely not ordinary goods.

Seeing the reaction of the gun god, I quickly turned my head to scolded the ghost and the blade pretending to be scolded: "Turn off the attack mode. You are not allowed to attack any personnel or items before leaving here. Ask me if you need to take action."

"Command, confirm." Blade and You Spirit Fruit then began to play dumb again, and directly replied with a mechanical and dull voice.

"Purple Moon, these two are...mobile angels?" The gun god was really surprised. I didn't pay attention before, now I heard their dull voices, and then looked at their appearance carefully, and immediately connected with the ordinary mobile angels in memory. After all, the two still have a lot in common in appearance.

I pretended to be very helpless and sighed: "Oh...don't mention it! These two are the new mobile angel technology verification machine just developed by the research department of our guild."

< p>"Isn't this good? Why are you sighing? The mobile angels of your guild are more powerful from generation to generation. If the output has not increased, we don't know how to fight with you. New product, battle strength must be stronger, right?" The gun god said with envy and jealousy.

I still explained in a very helpless manner: "The battle strength is indeed very high, it can be said to be ridiculously high. You know my battle strength, but if the two of them work together, they will not be summoned. On the premise of spoiling, I can only hold on for an hour and I will lose."

"So powerful?" The gun god was surprised at first, and then suddenly reacted. "Why are you so strong?"

"You don't know! The battle strength of these two guys is really strong enough, but I don't know how to do it. The original mobile day used As long as the artificial soul is installed, it will burn. In the end I secretly killed two Divine Races and got two Divine Race souls and installed them in. It turned out that it can be used or not, but this head seems to be It’s the same as if it’s flooded. Not only does the reaction always fail to keep up with the speed of the body, but also the nerves from time to time. The whole is two mentally retarded children."

"Damn, it's really depressing according to you. But. Technology will always break through."

"Yeah, so I am looking for you here?"

The gun god looked at me suspiciously and said: "You What's the use of finding me? You don’t know, our Holy Lance League simply doesn’t have research on magic puppet technology."

"I don’t want your technology, I only want my soul, the soul of Divine Race free "

"What? You want me to help you kill the gods?"

I pressed the gun god’s mouth and said nervously: "Be quiet, you're afraid no one will hear you What's the matter? Let's go in, let's talk about it later." (To be continued.
