Even though Qi Chengzhou and the others have roughly summarized the key to advancing to the "expert level" title from deputy life positions through hard work, the high loss of profits makes this random breakthrough attempt still unable to achieve breakthrough progress.

Qi Chengzhou himself naturally wants to try more and try to improve the promotion success rate of similar methods~

I dare not say too much, but if we can manage to increase the promotion rate to even 10%, then maybe there is still some hope of investment.

..

Life deputy job is also a good craft that can make money~

Of course, the premise is that you still have the patience and skills.

However, Liu Yifei was somewhat indifferent to Qi Chengzhou's persistence in the past.

He has a much deeper understanding of the virtual world created by Invincible Heroes OL than Qi Chengzhou, and through conversations and exchanges with many powerful people, Liu Yifei clearly understands that only when players enter the spiritual world can the popularity of Xing begin.

Master a variety of powerful "expert-level" skills.

And this seems to coincide with the promotion setting of deputy life positions~

After reaching the spiritual level, players can learn powerful expert-level skills. At the same time, a small number of people have unexpectedly mastered the academic and even applied skills related to the "magic circle".

However, from then on, the cooperation of the magic circle composition artist and the life deputy made it no longer a fantasy to create "king-level" finished utensils, and as a result, various expert-level craftsmen will emerge as the times require~...

This is a relatively unified improvement step in both aspects~

And if the life deputy job now enters the era of expert craftsmen on a large scale, it will be really crazy~

Because judging from the subsequent experiences of Qi Chengzhou and the very few players who have been promoted to expert level by accident, after being promoted to expert level craftsmen, players can enter the territories of powerful lords from various places with almost no requirements as "

"Official Craftsman" and started another new type of game that no one knew before.

As mentioned before, based on the player's exploration so far, the communication methods for players to have in-depth interaction with NPCs include: becoming a low-level lord, becoming a mercenary group under the NPC lord, becoming a deputy general under the NPC lord, etc.~

These are all optional ways for players to integrate into this game world better and faster.

In the "late stage", the system obviously has quite strong compensatory settings for those powerful secondary players.

For example, after becoming an "official craftsman", players can receive a fixed weekly salary just like the official positions under the lord!

In addition, NPC lords will publish a purchase list of various finished products every day. This thing is exactly the same as the optional task menu. The difference is that the various tasks that players are allowed to choose and complete have been changed to various equipment with different level requirements.

.

As long as the equipment that meets the requirements is made and turned in, the craftsman player can obtain part of the military merit reward and a large amount of monetary reward!

Although this "money" is just game gold coins, to be honest, it is not a lot at all. It is normal to make it seven or eight times more than the cost, and it is even more profitable than selling it to players!

A very simple reason is that after becoming "official craftsmen", in the eyes of NPC lords, player craftsmen are no longer refugees and mobs with no status at all in the territory~

Although official craftsmen are just low-level craftsmen who work for them in the eyes of NPC lords, they are useful "talents" at least, so the level of treatment is immediately improved, at least compared to the player groups that they exploited invisibly and severely in the past.

, then the standard of treatment has been improved a lot~

Of course, these ordinary players are difficult to know. Only people like Liu Yifei who have been exposed to similar information very early and then made detailed comparisons will discover how the senior lords continue to exploit the entire player class in an all-round and harsh manner.

of

More importantly, after completing various tribute tasks, the official craftsman players can also obtain "contribution points" just like in the player team. If a certain contribution value is accumulated, the player craftsmen can make contributions as permitted by the lord.

Exchange some pretty useful things within the range~

For example, various more advanced production formulas

In the days after becoming an expert jewelry craftsman, Qi Chengzhou worked hard to exchange three jewelry making craft recipes from his superior lord~

And the three kinds of "bone-inlaid soul jade" jewelry made from these three craft recipes can be turned into a jewelry set very well. The success rate is much higher than Qi Chengzhou's own attempt to make a jewelry set.

Too many~

[If you want to advance to the expert level craftsman, the probability of building a king-level instrument is too low. It can be said that without the best materials or unexpected encounters, it is almost impossible to succeed. After all, players cannot master the secrets of the magic circle at this stage.

The cost of creating excellent set items is high, and the success rate is between 2% and 3%. The losses are huge.

After becoming an expert craftsman, this kind of trial-and-error production can still continue, and the success rate will slightly increase to about 5%.

And if you obtain a certain formula and master the accurate manufacturing process, the success rate cannot be guaranteed to be 100%, but the success rate is at least 70% to 80%. Therefore, the treatment, profitability and other aspects of this one after another will

The gap is huge]

Qi Chengzhou once thought about whether he could try to let the craftsmen who have been promoted to experts concentrate their abilities to collectively find the set formula that senior craftsmen can produce, and then everyone can work together to improve it.

It’s just that such naive ideas are naturally blocked by the fundamental rules of the system!

All formula learning requirements for making excellent-level items that can produce set effects are basically "expert-level craftsmen"

When things got here, Qi Chengzhou was in despair. After despair, he also thought of another way to increase the value of his Wanwucheng!

That is to sign a valid contract with the players under his command, in exchange for "full support for their impact on expert-level craftsman fees" in exchange for their "large amount of voluntary labor" after becoming expert-level craftsmen.

Or it would be acceptable to return the impact capital at twice the rate~

After all, the treatment of expert craftsmen is much higher than that of senior craftsmen. It can even be said that they are not on the same level at all. If players can agree to such terms, it is not a good idea to temporarily lose money to support everyone's pursuit of expert titles.

Can't consider

After discussing with Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei only gave him one request: to register the ID numbers of these potential players!

Moreover, it is only limited to the domestic part

The promotion rate of 2% to 3% is really too low, and on this basis, the cost investment of tens of thousands each time is terrifyingly high!

Even with Liu Yifei's wealth, he would never try such a bottomless pit investment easily~

If because of Qi Chengzhou's advertisement, tens of thousands of high-level sub-level players came to him to support him, who would he ask to reason with?

Is it possible that as the entire Plague Alliance's gold production capacity is getting higher and higher, they will instead have to subsidize and collect gold from outside?

That's the real joke~

For good development, the lord or leader should always focus on finding a good development path that can bring a way out and hope to the team, so that the team's own output can be enough to cover its own investment and even have a slight surplus!

It is certainly a development idea if you have to rely on someone's initial investment at the expense of others, but once you encounter some major losses, what will follow will inevitably be a brutal withdrawal of capital from the "investors", and they will not even care about the entire team.

In some critical position or if there are any practical difficulties~

There are countless groups that have collapsed because of this. How does Liu Yifei know that he will not become the next one to be taken advantage of? And if there are too many, if something goes wrong, at least he and Qi Chengzhou’s friends will definitely have nothing to do~

Therefore, in order to avoid this inexplicable risk, Liu Yifei requires all secondary players who participate in this type of compensation agreement to report their actual ID numbers~

In today's society, every aspect of everyone's life is closely related to a small ID number!

As long as you master this thing, or include it in some interest agreement, at least both parties will not have to run away~

Otherwise, considering the worst case scenario, Liu Yifei invested all of these people into expert craftsmen with free investment. Then he turned around and all these guys ran away, and they could still live a prosperous life in another place without paying attention to them.

A large number of post-event obligations to bear

Then who should Liu Yifei talk to to reason?

After all, NPC lords only care about the ability of the deputy job creators, and do not care about where they became experts before, and why they came to their territory to become official craftsmen.

Qi Chengzhou agreed to Liu Yifei's suggestion. However, the response afterwards was beyond his expectation. It seemed to be very lively at first, and it was even a "post-payment" support policy that everyone responded to. In an instant, there were only a few people asking, and finally the statistics were completed.

The agreement was signed with less than a hundred players, and half of them were old men from the semi-professional craftsman group that Qi Chengzhou originally formed!!!

Although this result cannot explain that the other people whose attitudes suddenly changed suddenly had the idea of ​​​​escape from the beginning, it still had a great impact on Qi Chengzhou~

He didn't expect that after spending so much time together, the cohesion and trust in the city he founded would be so fragile.

But thinking about it the other way around, isn’t the most fundamental reason why everyone is asked to report their ID number before signing the agreement because they also lack trust in a large number of ordinary players?

So there is no reason for this kind of thing. How can real trust be given so easily between people?

Therefore, the training plan for the expert craftsmen group has been delayed since then, and even so, the entire Plague Alliance has also greatly improved due to the more than 300 expert craftsmen subsequently trained in the City of All Things! In time, these craftsmen will

The value will definitely increase further!

However, even so, Qi Chengzhou still felt it was a pity~

Because if this number can be increased by ten times or even a hundred times, he is even confident that he can double the strength of the entire Plague Alliance, at least it will not happen like the Dark City was destroyed before~

Because as long as they have enough expert carpenters and cooperate with the "Lord's Blacksmith Shop" and "Territorial Craft Hall" in Liu Yifei's territory, they can completely get rid of the shackles of NPCs and produce at least small trebuchets and bed crossbows.

Weapon of war!

However, what also made Qi Chengzhou couldn't help but sigh secretly was that the absconding problem similar to what Liu Yifei was worried about had indeed broken out.

Originally, there was a plan to form a full group of comprehensive expert craftsmen in the alliance. However, more than a hundred expert craftsmen were lost in the process, which was a heavy loss. This is also the reason why craftsman training was almost completely stopped later.

~

Later, Qi Chengzhou was trained as a private craftsman to fill his own territory. However, he did not have the exaggerated and astonishing net worth of Liu Yifei now, so the accumulation process became even slower.

Perhaps it was also to relieve Qi Chengzhou's frustration, or perhaps it was just to enhance the potential of the alliance. Anyway, Liu Yifei chose the "Storm Giant's Hammer of Fury" item at that time.

And in the end, it shows that everything is worth the money!!!

This legendary equipment is used as a weapon. It is a physical attack weapon with a powerful flame burst~

Each of its attack effects can trigger a terrifying and astonishing fire explosion power, which almost directly amplifies the effect of physical strikes by more than three times!

However, on this basis, this thing can also be used as a "production tool", and the price is a basic strength requirement of 500 points!!! And it requires a high-level blacksmith with considerable fire element resistance~

Because when this thing is used as a "production tool", it is blindly and passively stimulating its own characteristics. There is no way to eliminate the fire element heat that is freely dispersed. Every hammer blow to the craftsman himself will cause a large amount of damage.
To be continued...
