Chapter 247: Free Gift of Iron Skull City!
A few hours later, he found Lorne.
“City Lord, how many workers are there in your city now?” asked the inspection NPC.
“There’s only 110,000 now, but I’ll immediately go to Iron Skull City to recruit 2 million workers to help me build the city.”
“What? Two million?!”
The inspection NPC widened his eyes, thinking that he had misheard.
Two million was not just a huge amount.
Hiring such workers required a salary payment!
According to the recruitment fees of the workers in the city, a worker needed to be paid 1 gold coin per day. In other words, this adventurer would pay 2 million gold coins per day for the labor salary!
At the same time, the more labor the other party recruited, the more construction work would be done, and the more materials would be needed. In this way, the inventory of Iron Skull City would definitely shrink crazily.
“The speed at which the Cold Desolate Dragon City is being built will directly affect the plan of Iron Skull City to suppress the ruins of the war. I hope that you can complete the allocation of resources as soon as possible and not cause a misunderstanding!”
“Perhaps you don’t know the urgency, but I think that the personal actions of Commander Rhett here should allow you to clearly understand that what I said was not false!” Lorne looked at him and said in a low voice.
As a player, he could not let go of such a profitable opportunity!
In any case, Iron Skull City was huge and rich. Even if they built Cold Desolate Dragon City from beginning to end, it was only a matter of time and would not affect its economic stability.
“This…”
The inspection NPC glanced at Rhett and realized that he had personally led the 100,000 city guards to build the city wall. As the commander of the Iron Skull City’s army, he had actually personally gone up. This alone was enough to see how much Iron Skull City valued Cold Desolate Dragon City.
Thinking of this, the inspection NPC nodded seriously, “Please don’t worry, City Lord. We will do our best to cooperate with you in the construction of the city. Iron Skull City will be responsible for all the needs of conventional materials. Now that I have calculated the first wave of resource requirement data, I will transfer them from the warehouse of Iron Skull City.”
“Mr. City Lord, please follow me to the warehouse.”
“Yes.”
…
Soon, the two of them arrived at the warehouse management office.
The list of supplies had to be signed by both sides at the same time, which was the rule of Iron Skull City.
However, this process was not complicated. In just ten minutes, everything was settled.
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining the unconditional gift of Iron Skull City. Stone x1 million, Wood x1 million, Steel x1 million, Crystal x1 million, Sulfur x1 million, Water x1 million…”
A series of notifications appeared on Lorne’s interface.
There were a lot of resources obtained this time, but not all of them. It was the first time the resources were mobilized. According to the normal construction speed, it should be able to last for about 5-7 days.
“City Lord, this way please.”
After completing the form, the warehouse manager led Lorne to the outer warehouse of Iron Skull City.
The warehouse manager pointed at a pile of wood and said, “Mr. City Lord, the supplies you need are all here. However, because the supplies can’t be sent directly through the teleportation circle, we need to send people to transport them manually. If we march at full speed, we might need about three days to reach your city.”
In “Divine Realm”, all teleportation arrays could only teleport living beings and could not directly transport resources.
If he wanted to transport resources through the teleportation circle, he had to use items with the ability to store s.p.a.ce to collect them and be carried by people through the teleportation circle.
To put it simply, it was the player’s bag system.
NPCs also had military bags and other similar items.
However, this could not bear the responsibility of transporting them, because the construction materials were very large. Ordinary military bags were not enough to do this job, so usually, the construction materials would be carried out through carriages and other tools.
“City Lord, don’t worry. I have already planned the best route. I can guarantee that the supplies will be sent to Cold Desolate Dragon City in two days. It will definitely not affect your construction plans.” The inspection NPC followed behind and said.
“Thank you for the support…”
With that, Lorne walked to the lumberyard ahead and touched a huge pile of trees. The next second, light flashed and the entire pile disappeared.
In Lorne’s [Dragon’s Treasure Vault], there was a pile of wood.
Then, there was the second pile, the third pile, and the fourth pile.
The trees disappeared very quickly. In less than ten minutes, the wood that was piled into a mountain had disappeared.
Not only that, but the remaining rocks and other resources also disappeared like this.
“Is this the Dragon’s Treasure Vault? He even has such a magical tool!!!”
Seeing the magical scene before him, the warehouse manager’s eyes widened. He could no longer imagine how large Lorne’s bag was. Was the legend about the Dragon’s Treasure Vault devouring the entire world true?
The investigator was also stunned. This young adventurer had completely subverted his understanding. At a young age, he had a huge city and a legendary tool like the ‘Dragon’s Treasure Vault’. It was unbelievable.
…
“Mr. City Lord, the supplies this time are for the first stage. If you still need them, please inform us in advance.” The warehouse manager said.
“Yes, please prepare another batch of conventional resources. Cold Desolate Dragon City might need to be replenished soon.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. City Lord. Our storage resources are definitely enough for your needs.”
The warehouse manager nodded seriously.
Ever since he had heard that the construction of the Cold Desolate Dragon City was the most important element in the strategic war plans, the warehouse manager had immediately been very enthusiastic, wis.h.i.+ng that he could immediately help Lorne complete the construction of the Cold Desolate Dragon City.
In the future, when City Lord Ansare discovered this abnormality, he became dumbfounded. He could never have imagined that his seemingly ‘generous’ decision would make him so ‘poor’!
…
Next, Lorne left the warehouse management office and entered the Alchemist a.s.sociation.
Cold Desolate Dragon City needed to start construction immediately, repair most of the areas, and build a large number of shops and restaurants. After completing these, the players could replace the labor work and shoulder the heavy burden of building the city.
However, now that Lorne did not have enough money to recruit labor, he could only find Doge and see how much the “Encyclopedia of Rare Herbs” had earned. He had to first take out a portion of the earnings to deal with the emergency.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Tyrant to start building your territory so soon. It’s really unexpected, but the books are still in the promotion phase and haven’t been sold for much.”
“Is there any way to help me raise a sum of money?”
“Sure.” Doge nodded and said, “I’ll help you deal with this. How much do you need?”
“5 million gold coins!”
“No problem. Please wait for me.”
