Luo Ling couldn't understand why he was being blamed for only performing a rejuvenation spell on these unicorns!
He felt that he had lost a lot of money after making a deal of 150 gold nars in one go.
There was no way to train 30 cavalrymen in the territory in a short time. It was a complete waste for them to stay in the territory.
Yun Dongliu replied with a smile, "In fact, this deal is very cost-effective. Unicorns are a specialty of the elves, and they can't be bought in those chambers of commerce outside. If our territory doesn't want to raise them, we can sell them to other territories. They should be very excited."
"This is a good suggestion. There should be many lords who choose the extraordinary profession of knight but can't find a mount." Luo Ling's eyes lit up and he understood instantly. This is a real business opportunity!
He used a second-level water-attributed crystal to exchange for 30 unicorns. He could keep a batch of stallions and mares, and sell the rest.
There must be a lot of players who choose knight as the extraordinary profession, because it has the largest number of job transfer scrolls. It is one of the most common job transfer scrolls in the trading market and is considered the extraordinary profession with the largest number of humans on the Vana continent.
Knights always need mounts. Players certainly don't like ordinary horses. They all want to get mounts with more powerful bloodlines to improve their overall strength. A good mount can double the knight's combat effectiveness.
"Then let's keep 10 unicorns and sell all the other 20 horses."
Luo Ling made this decision and resold the unicorns that the elves half-sold and half-given away. I believe these horses will definitely be sold at a good price among players.
Maybe today we can build two water element summoning towers to stabilize the ranking as much as possible and improve the strength of the territory at the same time.
Shen An smiled from ear to ear. This is good news for the Oak Boutique. He said excitedly, "Yesterday someone sold wild horses that could not be ranked. A male horse could be sold for 500 survival points. It's no problem to increase the value of the unicorn tenfold!"
"This magic-breaking long sword can also be sold." As a druid, Luo Ling can pick out the strong male and female horses among these unicorns at a glance. He quickly picked five of each and kept them, and then directly put them into the boutique in the trading market.
Nowadays, the Oak Territory can produce more and more precious equipment, and gradually has the atmosphere of commerce and manufacturing.
Winnie said with emotion, "We finally have horses in our territory, and we have ten at a time."
Originally, there were wildebeests in the territory, but they were not real horses after all.
"Winnie, ask someone to build shacks for them, and see if you can spare someone to take care of these horses. Don't let them ruin the crops or other crops."
The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and people can ride horses to pass messages.
"Yes, I'll go see who is free."
It feels good to have someone share the housework!
Luo Ling looked at the messy hay and messy ground in the square and began to think, maybe a special municipal cleaning clerk should be arranged. The roads and other public facilities in the territory need someone to clean them.
With foreign enemies at hand, internal affairs cannot be vague, and the happiness index of residents should be improved little by little to create higher value.
He returned to the garden outside the lord's castle. The two Fiery Feather Eagle cubs had already left the bald chicken state. The black feathers on their bodies looked very hard, and there was a circle of golden red feathers on their necks. The combination of black and gold made them look much more noble.
The most important thing was that the fire element could be felt from them. They had successfully advanced to the first-level magic beast!
Originally, their parents were magic beasts at the leader level, so the cubs with such bloodline would not be too bad. Moreover, in order to make them bigger and stronger, Luo Ling spared no expense to cultivate the fire attribute crystal fragments, second-level fire attribute zombies, and phoenix tail feathers.
The Fiery Eagle cubs who became magic beasts became much smarter. Now when they saw Luo Ling, they spread their wings and fluttered over. These two little guys knew clearly who was the boss of the territory and whose thighs they should hug.
Compared with the baby dragon and the silkworm, the Fiery Eagle cubs grew very fast and grew a lot, but unfortunately they were both males. If they wanted to expand their scale, they could only let them find wives by themselves.
Luo Ling stroked the feathers on the necks of the two little guys and said with a smile, "Now I have to change your nest. The bird's nest on the Wolong mulberry tree can't accommodate you."
Since the start of molting, the size of the Fiery Feather Eagle has soared rapidly. Now when they stand on the ground, their heads are as high as Luo Ling's chin, about 1.67 meters tall.
This size is certainly not suitable for building a nest on a tree. The Wolong mulberry tree is not a tree known for its size.
Luo Ling had arranged it early, and the two of them built a nest on the cliff behind their small castle. Hawks, eagles, and falcons in the wild all make their homes on the cliffs to facilitate their takeoff.
The larger the size of the bird, the more difficult it is to take off. Now the two brothers are already one-third the size of the horned eagles I saw before. If they can maintain this growth rate, they should be able to become real flying mounts.
"It's time to give you two a formal name. What should I call you?"
It is difficult to distinguish the two brothers from their appearance. They look exactly the same. Only people who are familiar with them can tell one or two from their personalities.
The elder brother is lively and jumpy, and likes all kinds of pranks. Luo Ling just saw it spit out a flame from its beak and wanted to burn the cold spring. It was really overestimating its own abilities.
Relatively speaking, the younger brother is more stable, but still a naughty guy. He liked to tease the bumblebees that collected pollen before, and usually liked to be in a daze. When the elder brother used fire to burn the water surface, it stared at its reflection on the side, not knowing whether it was in a daze or self-pity.
Luo Ling patted their wings and decided, "From now on, you will be called Naonao, and the younger brother will be called Daidai."
Originally, Luo Ling thought that the two little guys would be happy to accept it, but the two brothers opened their wings, fluttered gently, and chirped, and seemed unwilling.
The silkworm baby has not yet been named, and few people call the baby dragon's name Aoyou, but these two little guys are not happy!
This made Luo Ling feel troubled. It is difficult to take care of a pet that is too smart.
"Then the elder brother will be called Black Wind, and the younger brother will be called Whirlwind." Luo Ling knocked on the heads of the two Fiery Feather Eagles with his hand, "It's decided, and it can't be changed."
He has a hard time naming, and he hates naming the most, which can be seen from the name of Oak Territory, which
is not domineering at all. Look at the names of the top ten territories, either Ganges Territory, Penglai Territory, Rapids, Long March, Lei Ze, and Takama-ga-hara. If Luo Ling is thick-skinned, he can give a name like Kunlun, because he is one of the first players to be on the territory rankings, and there are enough names to choose from.
Thinking of this, Luo Ling himself couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Forget it, just be ordinary and return to nature." He comforted himself.
The two Fiery Feather Eagles, who had just been named, began to cause trouble to the cold spring again, making the dragon fish below dare not float up and bubble, waiting for the baby dragon to come back to do justice for them.
Luo Ling lay on the chair in the castle's study, chose a more comfortable position and entered the game page.
As soon as he entered, he found that his private chat messages exploded again!
Jiang Feng of Buzhou Territory "Brother Luo Ling, do you still have unicorns? The price is negotiable."
Xie Lan of Red Maple Territory "Brother Luo Ling, unicorns are so popular that I'm afraid I can't get them. Can you buy them directly from you?"
Joseph of Green Dragon Territory "Hello. Just now I saw that Oak Boutique is auctioning a kind of horse. I am willing to buy a large amount at the auction price. Do you have any in stock?"
Eddie of Crescent Territory "Hey, man. The unicorn you auctioned is exactly the mount I dreamed of. If there is still stock, I am willing to buy it at a high price."
Even Evans, who is now ranked first in the rankings, sent a friend request, and Luo Ling casually clicked to accept it.
At this time, the Dawn Group and the master group where the top ten players are are discussing the matter of unicorns. Is
a knight without a mount still called a knight?
"Twenty unicorns are being auctioned off at once. That's quite a big deal!"
"I just spent all my survival points. How can I have the money to auction now?"
"Who has extra survival points? Can I pawn an item? I'll buy it back from you when I have some."
"I'm selling an Earth Armor skill book urgently. Does anyone need it?"
"Do you think the second-level pet phantom rat can be exchanged for a unicorn? The value is higher, but I'm afraid Luo Ling doesn't need it."
"If you need a mount, go to the auction now. These unicorns have pretty good attributes and good bloodlines."
"Did Luo Ling capture a tribe of unicorns? I'm suddenly curious about the attributes of the unicorn king. Could it be that it can return to its ancestor as a unicorn?"
"Actually, I want a unicorn as a mount. This legendary creature must be very powerful."
After seeing these chat records, Luo Ling had an idea in his mind.
Everyone has a high demand for survival points. If they encounter some equipment or building drawings, skill books, job transfer certificates, etc. that they need, they are tempted but don't have the survival points to buy them.
Just like the player Park Yongjun on the leaderboard just now, he has equipment but no survival points. If he needs money urgently for a while, it is impossible to sell the equipment, so he wants to find a pawnshop to pawn the items.
However, there is no pawn business in the game system and the player group now. Everyone does not have enough survival points, so how can they lend them to others?
Luo Ling saw a business opportunity from it!
"Anyway, I am not in a hurry to upgrade my territory after reaching level 4, but I can find an opportunity to start this pawn business."
Pawnshops have existed since ancient times, and they can also be carried out in the game world, but there is no business license, and trust between the players is required.
Players can mortgage items to pawnshops to obtain short-term survival point funds. They can use this part of the survival points to buy other equipment, or build defense towers and replenish resources for defense towers.
In fact, if this business had been available long ago, many players who had their cities destroyed and people killed because of exhaustion of resources would have survived!
These people have more or less valuable things in their hands, but it is not so easy to sell them in the trading market. Many times, they just lack a little transit survival point to get through the difficulties, and finally fall in the darkness before dawn.
Pawnshops and pawnbrokers have always been formal and popular channels for borrowing money, and they are widely available in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
After Luo Ling simply thought about the survival points needed for the pawnshop, he was in a dilemma.
The funding gap is too big. There are 20 to 30 billion players in the world. If he opens a pawnshop without sufficient funds, he may lend out his survival points in a few minutes.
"You can't become a big fat man in one go, maybe you can start with a micro pawnshop and do some business with acquaintances." Luo Ling thought silently, first experimenting in the current channel and friend group chat, and then gradually expanding the user scale after sufficient funds.
Perhaps the big organizations in the world already have pawnshops, which are also promoted on a small scale without much publicity. People or forces who run pawnshops must be trusted by other players and believe in their strength.
This strength does not refer to financial resources, but real strength, the kind that can withstand monster attacks!
Otherwise, when players pawn their precious equipment in these forces and want to redeem them, they find that the person in charge of the pawnshop is dead or has run away and refuses to admit it, which is quite troublesome.
After all, players in any region have financial needs, and no one is not short of money.
Pawnshops are actually quite profitable and the risks are not too great.
Luo Ling is not familiar with this business. All his knowledge comes from film and television works and novels, and he barely knows how to make money.
In his understanding, the income of pawnshops mainly comes from two points, one is the handling fee, and the other is to sell the items to make a profit.
If a customer pawns a valuable item, the pawnshop owner or appraiser will give a figure far below the market price. If the customer accepts it, the item will be temporarily kept in the pawnshop and the money will be taken away.
Within the specified time limit, if the customer has sufficient funds, he can return to the pawnshop to pay back the money and handling fees, storage fees and other fees to redeem the item.
If it is not returned after the time limit, the item will belong to the pawnshop. The pawnshop can be sold. Luo Ling happens to have a boutique store, where he can put the unpawned items on the shelves for sale, thus creating profits, but the profit cycle is relatively long.
If you open a pawnshop in the game world, you must be prepared for the possibility of not being able to recover the loan.
Because the borrowing players are likely to encounter various dangers and accidents, and both the people and the territory are gone, who can they ask to pay back the money? You must be careful when estimating the price, so as not to be stuck with the pawned items.
There are many opportunities to get good things in the pawnshop. If he encounters something he needs, he even wants to make an offer and buy it directly from the other party.
"Calm down, calm down, it's not even a stroke yet."
Luo Ling calmed his throbbing heart quickly. If he wants to open a pawnshop, 100,000 survival points may not be enough at the beginning.
Now he is going to go to the boutique to see the auction prices of those unicorns. If they can be sold at a high price, it will allow his store opening progress to move forward a big step.
The territory looks isolated in terms of topography, but the players can be widely connected in the game interface, so it is necessary to develop business.
Luo Ling is now developing the primary, secondary and tertiary industries simultaneously, without falling behind in any aspect.
In the boutique, the person in charge, Shen An, directly put 20 unicorns on the auction seat, so that players can clearly see the inventory.
Among the 200 million or 300 million players, at least several hundred million are knights. Many of them can't actually afford this second-level mount, but it doesn't stop the onlookers from imagining.
The unicorn is a second-level mount. It has a small amount of unicorn blood, strong speed and endurance, and the skill of unicorn sprint.
As a second-level creature, the unicorn's combat power is not weak. Not only can they kick people, but the sharp horns on their heads are even sharper. With the speed of sprinting, they can even rip open the stomachs of other monsters!
At present, the auction of the first unicorn is still in progress, and the price has reached a terrifying 5100 survival points.
Luo Ling was happy and began to worry, "What do those elves want to do? They must have other intentions."
There must be a lot of second-level mounts in the elves, but they are not so easy to give to others. Each
unicorn only needs 5 gold nars. It is really charity. Luo Ling had not reacted before, but now he finally understood the intentions of the elves. If the elves seek his help, how can he refuse? Luo Ling couldn't help but start to have a headache. This thing is really a sugar-coated bullet. But now that things have happened, it is useless to be upset. He can only take one step at a time. "Maybe they can't take these unicorns away just to show me." Luo Ling thought more and more that something was wrong. How could the elves not even have the ability to control their own mounts? If this were to be told to others, it would definitely make people laugh! This is most likely what they did to go with the flow. As for the ultimate goal, Luo Ling had no idea at all. He couldn't help them find another world tree. Shaking his head to drive these negative emotions out of his mind, he first checked the two items he had just sold. They were both found in the treasure chest. The Flame Snake skill book is a powerful spell that fire magicians dream of. It especially attracts players on the leaderboard to participate. The final transaction price is 7510 survival points! In comparison, the price of the helmet equipment dedicated to the priest of light, such as the ascetic headdress, is much lower, and it only sold for less than 2300 points. Now players tend to be rational and no longer blindly increase the price of auctions. The prices of many commodities have fallen. The two pieces of equipment together are worth nearly 10,000, and the profit is really good. It would be great if I could open a few boxes in the wild every day, but the number of boxes is getting smaller and smaller, and the conspicuous ones have been discovered by various players. The game system has not refreshed the treasure chest for a long time. The next refresh may be to end the chapter of dungeon invasion. The auction of the first unicorn is still going on. It has reached 7,400 survival points, and fewer and fewer players are bidding. Many players on the leaderboard are indeed competitive, but they do not intend to fight for this first one, but plan to buy it later. "A unicorn can be sold for 7,000 survival points. The elves are giving me 210,000 survival points at once. It's really a big deal!" Luo Ling said self-deprecatingly, "I hope there will be more sugar-coated bullets like this. I will definitely stand the test!" Staring at the auction all the time is not good, Luo Ling left the boutique and began to resume private chats with friends. The inventory has really been taken out, and the remaining 5 pairs of stallions and mares in his territory will definitely not be sold. Unless the other party is willing to wait for these five mares to give birth to calves, it is unknown how long it will take. In fact, in the wild, one male horse usually occupies many female horses, and they will fight for mating and reproduction rights. The scientific name of this horse is a stallion. Luo Ling wanted to diversify the bloodline of horses in the territory as much as possible to avoid inbreeding, so he left so many male horses. Just after he replied to the message of Buzhou Lord Jiang Feng, the other party gave an unexpected answer. "Brother Luo Ling, we just got a good news. Scientists have successfully separated the gas purification magic circle and the water purification magic circle. Only the first-level magic crystal can be set up." "Really?" Luo Ling almost put this matter behind his mind. While answering, he flipped through the posts he posted on the forum, "Great! It's great to have them." At the beginning, Luo Ling obtained a high-level purification magic circle from Vera, but it required a third-level magic crystal to drive it. Such a high-level and rare magic crystal is definitely not suitable for purifying the waste gas, wastewater, and waste residue produced by the smelting workshop. It is a waste of talent. When he posted this high-level magic array on the forum and asked players to brainstorm, it really triggered the inspiration of many players, allowing them to discuss it crazily in the post. At this time, this post has more than 1 million replies. Later, ordinary players did not even dare to interrupt and reply, and could only watch those high-IQ big guys' wisdom collision. Now that the simplified results are out, players dare to leave a message to thank the host and all the big guys. There are many high-IQ people among humans. In fact, they have developed well in territory construction. They have long begun to explore, research and transform their own territories and professions with their own knowledge and abilities. If one day humans analyze a few low-level magics that have the power of forbidden spells, it is also very likely. Many organizations even grit their teeth to support those scientists to do research. In the situation where everyone is not rich, any material investment is precious. And Chinese scientists have actually experienced this stage a long time ago, so they have adapted quite well and are more hardworking than the pampered scholars in other countries. In this simplification of the purification array, Chinese scientists have made a great contribution! Luo Ling said to Jiang Feng, "Perhaps we can cooperate for a long time. I will see if I can find some other magic circles. Then I will give them to you to simplify or strengthen their power." "Of course, we really need this knowledge here." Jiang Feng replied. It is difficult to make progress in isolation. It is of course best to have reference objects and samples. Just as Luo Ling was replying to the message on the game panel, the communication crystal plate he placed on his chest vibrated again. "Lord, the dungeon monsters are attacking! This time there are a lot of them, and it is very likely that they will surround our entire territory!" A fierce battle is inevitable.
