I traveled through time and became the Lord of Natural Disaster

Chapter 175 Persuasion
The buzzing of the horn still exists, reminding the people of Tana City from time to time that the war is still going on.

The footsteps of the people here are really fast, as if they are being chased by something.

The shopping street is particularly lively. A few months ago, the common people here did not dare to come to the shopping street for consumption. A few months later, it has become the most important commercial street in Tana City.

Many businessmen are looking for supplies here, and occasionally workers are looking for jobs here. A famous player even opened a human resources company here, which can solve the employment problems of hundreds of people for players every day.

Osman was shocked by the prosperity of the streets in front of him. Even in the capital, there was no environment where he could sell goods with confidence.

The people here even put the goods directly on the side of the road and put them on the stalls, so there is no need to worry about being robbed or stolen.

The people in Tana City are actually much more qualified than the people in the capital.

This surprised Osman a little.

What he didn't understand was that the shopping street was the safest place in Tana City. Even near the government building, there was no safer place than here, because the guards would come here to patrol from time to time.

Moreover, the merchants here are extremely grouped together. Whenever a house is stolen, people from the whole street will come out to catch the thief.

There are even many customers among the customers, even if they are risking their lives, those who cause trouble must be dealt with first.

Even the gangsters in Bar Street are scared.

So after no one dared to make trouble in the shopping street, the players' selling methods became bolder.

"Fresh pineapple juice, fresh pineapple juice!"

"The latest skirt designed by Fu Ling designer, come and see!"

"Excellent wine! 1 Sid a bottle!"

Most of the yelling came from the merchants in Tana City, and the players were inside the shop. The merchants at the door had to pay the stall fee to the shop. Many players could pay their weekly rent through these stall fees.

In other words, if your shop is not going to open, you can also rent out the stall at the door directly.

Of course, no player wastes an opportunity to make money, and there will be something to sell anyway.

Osman found that there was no smelly smell on this street at all. The ground here was very clean and tidy, without any feces or other dirt. Not only that, there were various fragrances in the air.

It smells like food and cakes. It's really nostalgic that there are cakes in such a small place.

That's right, there are cakes even in factory kitchens, and they taste pretty good.

After recovering, Osman had already arrived at the door of Ai Ai's studio.

There were also two people lined up outside the studio. Osman could see that the two people had big family patterns on their bodies, and they should be servants of the nobles.

In the room, there was another young lady and her servants admiring the portrait.

"Your skills are getting better and better. This is simply amazing. It is the most satisfying portrait I have ever seen." Miss Amy Hilton kept praising, "I think this painting needs to be hung in my bedroom inside."

Miss Hilton wished to chat with Ai Ai more, "I also want to trouble you for my future wedding portrait, look..."

"Sorry, my painting has been scheduled for three months. I think your wedding portrait may need to be delayed for a while." Ai Ai said apologetically.

Unexpectedly, the portrait of this young lady has become so popular.

Standing outside the door, Osman saw the paintings in Ai Ai's studio.

Each one is more detailed than the painting in his hand, it's simply uncanny workmanship.

And the colors are softer too.

He stood aside, waiting for the lady to finish talking with Ai Ai.

Miss Hilton seemed a little dissatisfied, but thinking about Ai Ai's portrait, she still gritted her teeth, "It's okay, I can wait, after all, my wedding is four months away, but I hope it will be sooner."

It takes Ai Ai a week on average to paint a painting, sometimes even longer.

Although it is said that the wedding will be held in four months, in the previous six months, this lady needs to prepare a lot of things.

Including portraits.

"I'll try my best, but if you can't accept it..."

"I accept, of course I accept." Miss Hilton said hastily, "As long as my portrait is drawn by you."

"Then I am willing to reach a cooperation with you. This is the contract drawn, please take a look at it first." Ai Ai is still so business-like.

"God, I thought you were a believer in the Sun God Sect." Miss Hilton muttered.

Ai Ai smiled wryly, "I just assisted Bishop Eckmonde in drawing the dome. In fact, I am a believer in the Church of Fortune."

"It's unbelievable." Miss Hilton was slightly speechless, then signed her name, and left Ai Ai's studio happily holding the painting.

The two servants who were waiting behind squeezed in immediately and began to ask about the painting.

"I'm already painting. I have time to go to Ms. Rilatu's house the day after tomorrow. I will invite Ms. Fiona to come to me to paint the painting in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. You know, I don't want to go to Viscount Philip's house." Ai Ai has heard that Viscount Philip is not a good guy, as long as he is a woman, he likes it.

These women also don't want Ai Ai to go to Viscount Philip, after all, no one wants multiple women to compete with him for favor.

The two servants got the desired information and left the studio.

"It seems that you are quite busy." Osman took out the engraving in the bag, "Here is what you want."

"I didn't expect you to make it so soon. I thought I needed to go to the factory to pick it up." Ai Ai brought out a plate of cookies from the room, plus a glass of Coke made by the players, and handed it to the other party.

Osman looked at the cup of Coke, feeling a little puzzled.

Why do you need such a tall cup for drinking black tea?

Then he subconsciously took a sip.

This taste...

He stared at the drink in his hand in a daze, the excitement made him feel very fresh, and the heat of Tana City was also removed a lot.

"It's a new product in the shopping street recently. Fortunately, I also have this kind of sparkling water here." Ai Ai liked the reactions of these NPCs very much. Every time she brought out something new to entertain them, they would show joyful expressions.

"This is really a good drink, and it will become a bestseller even in the capital." Osman praised.

"That's really great. We already have friends who plan to open a store in the capital. Besides this drink, they also sell burgers and French fries." Ai Ai said with a smile.

Osman pointed to the engraving and said, "I thought you would recommend me to drink this wine."

"Someone will open a bar in Wangdu, but the shops in Wangdu are too expensive, and they can only go there to open one when they have money." Ai Ai has a good impression of this NPC. By the way, he said, "I heard , Artisan Church and Wisdom Church are now one family?"

I knew someone would ask this question. Although no one in the factory would ask this question recently, their curious eyes have already betrayed their own ideas.

For the beauty's sake, Osman said with a wry smile: "We have been working under the Church of Wisdom for more than 100 years. We need their research results, and they need our technology."

"What if other churches also need your technology? For example, the War Church?" Ai Ai asked curiously.

"Our technology is based on the achievements of the Wisdom Church, so in most cases, other churches will go directly to the Wisdom Church for customization." Osman tried his best to relax his emotions.

I didn't expect it to be like this, "Isn't the Artisan Church very disadvantaged?"

"Fortunately, at least our wages are not lacking. If we are willing to create, we can also apply for patents." It's just that it is difficult to bypass the patent barrier of the Wisdom Church.

Because the cooperation time is too long, most of the craftsmen will only produce step by step, and it is not easy to break through the patent.

Even if some breakthrough methods are discovered during the production process, they will soon be refuted by the people of Wisdom Church with various reasons.

In the end, most craftsmen will turn to believe in the God of Wisdom, and those who stay will hardly achieve R&D achievements, and they can't even afford a workbench.

Fortunately, Tana City avoided this problem, at least the Church of Wisdom here is not as strictly controlled by the Royal Capital.

It's no wonder that so few people are willing to come out to work. It turns out that it is for the free air.

Ai Ai nodded, "If we have parts in the future, or if we want to make a new type of machine and need your help, will you help us?"

"You?" Osman has heard that Ai Ai is a believer in wealth.

Believers who can help wealth are not a bad thing. They will not dictate their own work, but will give full monetary rewards.

It was too late for Osman to be willing, so how could he obstruct it?

"Yes, we want to make a cement boat. We can manufacture steam engines. If you are willing to provide some help with magic runes, maybe the efficiency will be higher." Ai Ai said directly.

This was discussed by people on the forum. They all saw that Osman had been making Ai Ai's engraving all afternoon, without even taking a break.

Players with good deeds saw Osman go directly to the shopping street with the engraving board, and posted it directly on the forum, hoping that Ai Ai could help to ask.

After all, these two craftsmen hid those magic runes too tightly. Although players can take video screenshots and see some content, they can't see how they did it.

But if the runes are directly made on the ships made by the players, it doesn't seem to be difficult to learn.

"I have indeed heard that you are making a ship. Is it a steam ship?" So far, the steam ship is one of the most amazing inventions in the entire Federation. Those iron-clad ships are also driven in this way. Ships don't need sails, just some coal to get them going.

And for believers of sea monsters and storms, this kind of ship is also very deterrent, moving fast, and can mount powerful artillery.

The disadvantage is that the sunken ship cannot be salvaged, and if there is no fuel, there is no way to move.

It's just that this kind of industrial product can only be made by hundreds of craftsmen and the crystallization of the wisdom of thousands of people in the Church of Wisdom.

Even the most basic cement ship has been researched for decades...

If he remembers correctly, no one in Tana City has ever been to the Royal Capital to study. How did they make it?

Is it possible that the achievement is whimsical to produce?

"We can pay the fee at a higher price than the capital. Of course, you need to negotiate with Mr. Andrew yourself."

Osman really never thought about such a thing.

However, the order from the Church of Wisdom is really not that complicated. At least the things he and his colleagues made are spare defensive formation materials.

If they really want to build a cement boat, if they are willing to give some help.

Maybe he can stay in Tana City after the war is over?
Although this place is not as good as the capital, but in terms of quality of life, it doesn't seem to be bad.

And the people here are very good-looking.

In Osman's eyes, these Xia Hui people are all good-looking.

He didn't know that these faces were pinched by AI, and they all matched perfectly in terms of the golden ratio.

So he nodded, "If I can really help, after all, I don't know what progress your ship has made, and I didn't even take a good look at it."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be so smooth, and Ai Ai even wondered if the AI ​​calculation of her brother's company had made a mistake.

As a painter, I went to talk to a craftsman about the construction of a ship, but the other party even acquiesced.

Is this a bit outrageous?

Chen Zhi thought the same way.

He was still spying on Osman's workshop just now, trying to find books on making magic runes in it.

But unfortunately, there are no books here. Osman, who has been making magic runes for a long time, has already engraved those runes in his mind, and there is no need to check the information.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved his perspective to Ai Ai, he saw Osman agreeing to Ai Ai's request and expressing his intention tactfully.

A good start is half the battle.

At least people will definitely be able to stay, Chen Zhi is very confident.

After sending Osman away, Ai Ai went to Lolita's shop with the engraving in her arms.

These two engravings will be sent to the capital, and then handed over to the publishing house for printing and making advertisements.

"It's so fast, we even just placed the order yesterday!" Lolita looked at the engraving in surprise, "But yes, we have a 24-hour complete life, and you can think in the real world."

"You are right, and you can rest better, and you will be more energetic when you think." Ai Ai said with a smile, "And I also discussed with that craftsman to take a look at the steamship under construction tomorrow, oh yes , they call that a cement boat."

"You discussed it with him so quickly?" Lolita gave a thumbs up in admiration, "You did a good job, I have to inform the kindergarten immediately, he is very interested in those runes, if it weren't for the old man Zhong Shan If not, he might sneak into the craftsman's office and look through it secretly."
