Fire Monster

Chapter 216 is booming
"See, opportunities only favor those who are prepared."

In the fourth large circle of the camp, Zhao Guanshan said to Xiao Chengyun with a smile.

Xiao Chengyun, who didn't take it seriously and was rude to Old Man Fan and others yesterday, finally had an invisible smile on his face today.

Nonsense, who can refuse Bai Huahua’s military exploits?

Yesterday, three tanks, one was modified, and three were maintained, earning a total of 1400 merit points. At that time, she could treat it as an accidental incident and believe that the other party had a purpose and was ill-intentioned.

Well, today there are three tanks, three modifications, and three maintenance, and a total of 2400 merit points can be gained. It really cannot be explained as bad intentions.

The one coming is clearly the boy Sudhana.

"I just don't believe it. There must be a conspiracy. Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. This so-called modification and maintenance is really too simple. I don't believe that old man Fan is so smart that he wouldn't have considered it. He just gave away all his military achievements. Look, he's so heartbroken that his eyes are blue."

"This matter is really not difficult. Spend tens of thousands of Dao Palace contributions to exchange for a Class A Imperial Seal Instrument, specially select a Class 3 Qi Refiner, and then let their baggage camp spend some time to get some high-level material consumables. Isn't this a problem that can be easily solved?"

Xiao Chengyun snorted coldly, because in her opinion it was that simple. Zhao Guanshan's plan for the logistics and supplies maintenance service center would most likely only be a hot topic for a few days.

When the other party's conspiracy succeeds, she wants to watch Zhao Guanshan cry in front of her.

"Hahaha! If things are really that simple, that would be great!"

Zhao Guanshan did not explain either, because things that seem simple are often not simple.

For example, regarding Xiao Chengyun's A-grade sealed magical weapon, the fake sixth-order dispelling rune, he initially thought that it would be at least 80% effective. But after using it, he realized that it would be a blessing if it could be 70% effective.

Over the past few days, Zhao Guanshan has been working silently, using his own sixth-level dispelling rune to replenish, repair and optimize it.

Without a professional Qi-refining master like him to help, why not try someone else?

Generally speaking, such a sealed magical instrument can be used to maintain about one hundred chariots.

However, this process will not only consume the sixth-level dispelling runes inside, but also consume the innate pure yang energy.

Basically, maintaining it a hundred times would consume nine breaths of innate pure yang energy.

At the same time, since the sixth-level dispelling rune was exhausted, it had to be replenished. This process would require a third-level Qi Refiner who practiced the Lihuo Dao Fu to nurture it for three days, and it would also consume almost nine breaths of innate pure yang energy.

So in fact, it takes two third-level Qi Refiners to maintain this matter normally.

So the question is, if there are really two level three Qi Refiners willing to do this, how much benefit are you, Old Man Fan, willing to offer them?
Have you considered the subsequent costs?

There is another problem. As a military supervisor, a third-level Qi Refiner only needs to participate in one battle every day on the battlefield. If he is lucky, he can get about two thousand merit points without even taking action.

If you are unlucky, after several attacks, you can only consume two or three breaths of innate pure yang energy at most.

Only when one's luck is extremely bad will all of one's innate pure yang energy be exhausted.

Then people can have up to twenty-three hours of self-cultivation time.

What kind of work environment is this?
What kind of working environment is required for maintenance?
The chariots need to be maintained every three days. The Shanhai Camp has twenty chariots, which means they need to be maintained a hundred times in about fifteen days.

It will take another three days for a Qi Refiner to nurse them back to health. During these eighteen days, both Qi Refiners must be paid every day. You can't ask them to be temporary workers.

Don’t ask how much profit Old Man Fan can make, just talk about the salary of these two third-level Qi Refiners.

Four thousand a day, that’s 72000 merit points in eighteen days.

And this does not even need to consider the issue of the subsequent attenuation of the sixth-order dispel rune.

But this will definitely fade.

In short, if Zhao Guanshan was Old Man Fan, he would definitely not, at least not for the time being, get involved in this business.

Especially when the Demon Suppression Division is making every effort to produce the fourth-level Imperial Seal Chariot and working hard for the unknown wealth in the future, it is better to slow down and let things ferment first.

At worst, in the future I can just start a business together with Brother Zhao!

In the Demon Suppression Division, one Zhang family fell, but there were still thousands and millions of Zhang families standing up.

Things like interests have always been like this.

Thus, this business started in obscurity.

Old Man Fan personally discussed this with Zhao Guanshan.

Three units per day, the price remains the same, maintenance is three hundred and modification is five hundred.

As for the future, we’ll talk about it in the future.

Just like that, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

There was no fluctuation in the business with Shanhaiying, but the camp's first-level spirit-supplying tower was successfully deployed by Jia Xian and others with hundreds of craftsmen.

The whole process took only fourteen days.

With the first-level spirit supply tower, many things would be much easier, because the psychic vortex force field could cover a maximum of two kilometers, and many ordinary craftsmen could also participate in the modification of the chariot. Jia Xian and others continued to be responsible for the deployment of the second-level spirit supply tower, but this first required a large amount of psychic energy to impact the high-level matter.

So there is no need to rush for a moment.

However, the business with Shanhaiying is booming.

He could earn 2400 merit points every day, which was roughly equivalent to the income of a third-level Qi-refining practitioner as a military supervisor in the Shanhai Camp.

In just half a month, Zhao Guanshan had accumulated nearly 30,000 merit points.

The greedy Xiao Chengyun even ran over to rub his shoulders and tap his back.

"Brother, the last time I went back to the Dao Palace, I also took a fancy to another Grade A sealed magical instrument, which was sealed with a fifth-order explosive rune. It only required 30,000 Dao Palace contribution points. I think -"

"Junior sister, are you dreaming? Look, your saliva is flowing out, pay attention to your image!"

"Brother, I'm serious. I think we do need a second Grade A Imperial Sealed Artifact. The Demon Suppression Division has only given us six months, and now a month has passed. This means that your lucrative business will have to end by then. It's you who should wake up!"

"If we don't take this opportunity to accumulate strength and increase our comprehensive foundation, you really want to be a small vendor!"

"Hey, what did I hear? A small business that makes money. Junior sister, someone's words are still fresh in my mind. Anyway, forget it. I plan to use these merits to exchange for a large operating table at the Demon Suppression Division."

"With the large operating table, we don't need to be involved in the core modification, disassembly and assembly of the tank. We can just transfer a dozen skilled craftsmen from Jia Xian to do it."

"When the six months are over and we go to the battlefield, we can continue this business!"

"Wait! Senior Brother, you probably forgot what the core of this deal is. I will also go to the battlefield by then. Who will maintain the battlefield? Will I use your imperial seal oil lamp?"

When Xiao Chengyun said this, she laughed.

Yes, in addition to the A-grade sealed magic weapon in her hand, Zhao Guanshan’s family heirlooms can also be used to maintain the chariot.

The important thing is, because she has this Grade A imperial seal magic weapon as a cover, with this reputation, basically no one will doubt this matter.

A perfect closed loop.

"Okay, you win, brother."

After figuring it out, Xiao Chengyun stopped bothering and sat down next to Zhao Guanshan, resting his chin on his hands, and discussed with a smile: "So, Senior Brother, how many large operating tables do you plan to exchange? I remember that although the Demon Suppression Bureau has opened up exchanges, in fact, these are antiques from hundreds of years ago. They will not do business at a loss."

"Let's start with four. Don't worry about the old antiques. We can optimize and upgrade them. If we can make two out of the four, or even one larger operating table with higher quality and level, we will make a profit."

"The Demon Suppression Division is currently expanding madly. Their goal is the sea of ​​stars for now, so there will be many small targets that they have no time to take care of. This is our opportunity."

"Believe me, if the general environment does not change in the future, we will follow the Demon Suppression Division. This will be a broad road to heaven for a long time to come."

"Although we are Qi Refiners, in the current environment, we are almost like walking on one leg, hopping, swaying, and very unstable. So this road of the Demon Suppression Division can help us connect a leg, even if it is a disabled leg. With the complementation of each other, it will allow us to go further."

Zhao Guanshan said calmly.

"But the Demon Suppression Division will most likely not let us get what we want. Let alone the Demon Suppression Division, even that Fan Yi, believe it or not, when the time comes, with his power, although he may not be able to eat us alive, it will be easy for him to snatch our business. If we look fat enough by then, there may even be a second or third Zhang family jumping out."

Xiao Chengyun said seriously.

"So, Junior Sister, this still depends on you. We still have five months left, so don't even think about exchanging it for a Class A Imperial Seal Instrument. I'll give you half a Spirit Stone. Try to use five months to cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refiner."

"Our two legs can roll forward alternately. The first leg steps forward, and the second leg supports from behind. We have no weaknesses in any aspect."

"What do you think?"

Zhao Guanshan discussed.

"But brother, this is really unfair to you."

"Haha! Junior sister, it's already this time, do you still want to separate from me? We are a team, we are a whole. Without you and Senior Sister Yuwei, even if I have a family background, can I go from a nobody to the behind-the-scenes controller of a city in half a year?"

"Don't dwell on this anymore. We are a whole. We all have our own missions. You have an obvious identity. Without you standing in the front, our city is just a fat pig waiting to be fattened up. We don't know when it will be slaughtered."

"But if it was just you, even if you advanced to the fourth-level Qi Refiner, without a force behind you and companions to cover you, you would not be able to avoid the attacks, and you would not have enough time to earn military merits. It's not like now, you don't have to do anything, and you can get 2400 merit points every day."

"There are three third-level Qi Refiners in Shanhai Camp. Go ask them if they are envious or not."

“That’s our advantage.”

"Well, brother, you always convince me."

Xiao Chengyun smiled sweetly, "But I must tell you that this half piece of spirit stone can only help me cultivate nine mouthfuls of innate pure yang energy. It is still a long way from breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refiner. You have to be mentally prepared."

"That's nothing. You already have ten mouthfuls of pure innate Yang Qi. If you add nine more, it will be nineteen. Even if you can't advance to the fourth level, you will still be a senior third-level Qi Refiner, which is still enough!"

"Junior sister, I always have confidence in you."
