Tickets sold on the island will certainly not fetch the same price as those sold internationally.
After trying it out, people like Liu Yao and Qinglong realized that they simply didn't have the ability to guarantee the revenue from a single ticket.
Naturally, they are unwilling to spend more money to acquire tickets.
Only external business owners can offer high prices.
So, to put it bluntly, Liu Yao's words meant that he was unwilling to pay a high price himself, nor did he want others to sell at a high price; he was simply playing mind games and appealing to emotions.
Anyone who believes him is a fool.
I'll say it again.
Dragon Island is part of the game itself.
Besides these rulers, there was a fear that outsiders would threaten their rule.
Ordinary players have absolutely no conflict of interest with outsiders.
Conversely, strengthening trade with the outside world can bring more benefits to ordinary players, with ticket trading being the most obvious example at present.
Su Bai also hopes that more experts will enter the Lost City.
Accelerate the exploration of the secret realm.
That way, he can bring the entire secret realm under his control more quickly.
...
Ding-dong!
Ding-dong!
The blacksmith shop was bustling with activity.
On his way here, Su Bai had already personally selected a resident with the highest forging qualifications.
Just feed him the Book of Forging.
Whoosh!
A bright light immediately enveloped the man.
A prompt followed immediately.
[Note: Your resident 'Zhao Tiezhu' has been promoted to Junior Blacksmith. You need to pay him more wages!]
[Hint: Zhao Tiezhu's loyalty +15!]
...
"Thank you for your guidance, Lord!"
The middle-aged man, who had a very honest appearance, spoke in a deep, muffled voice.
"Don't betray my trust."
Su Bai gave a word of advice.
He then arranged for Zhao Tiezhu to work as a blacksmith in the blacksmith shop.
The addition of a novice blacksmith immediately brought a huge boost to the construction's production efficiency.
Originally, it would take at least half an hour for a level 1 blacksmith to produce a farm tool, but now it has been reduced to twenty minutes.
The output per hour has increased to four items.
Su Bai then placed the small forging mold inside the blacksmith's shop.
Efficiency has undergone another qualitative leap.
With molds, blacksmiths can directly cast models when forging small tools, saving a lot of forging time.
This immediately boosted the blacksmith's production efficiency to 10/hour!
This is a huge improvement.
Based on an effective working time of eight hours per day, this blacksmith shop can now forge eighty iron tools a day!
Three days is 240 items, which is enough to meet the needs of his entire territory.
It met the production needs.
Next.
It's about forging weapons.
This will also speed up the formation of his recruited forces.
"However," Su Bai suddenly realized, "it seems I don't have enough iron ore to meet the production demands..."
The iron in his territory currently comes from the scrap iron he collects and the iron ingots he receives as quest rewards, which are then remelted.
The number is not large.
This problem was insignificant when the blacksmith's production efficiency had not improved.
But now, it has immediately become an urgent need.
A mineral vein has been found near Baidi Village, beneath the original rubble tomb. According to experienced craftsmen, there is likely a metal vein beneath that vein.
However, he does not yet have the capability to mine it.
"We'll have to use copper for now."
Su Bai thought helplessly.
He has no shortage of copper; there are bronze ruins by the sea, as well as a pile of discarded stone and bronze scraps waiting to be moved.
However, bronze tools are definitely not as good as iron tools.
All I can say is,
It's better than nothing.
"My lord, I have accomplished what you instructed. This is the gray wheat that has been cultivated over two days! Please take a look!"
A strong farmer found Su Bai.
He held a wheat ear in his hands. Although the grains on it looked few and far between, and not plump at all, compared to the original ear of wheat which looked like foxtail grass, you could already vaguely see the shape of wheat.
[Poor quality wheat ears]
【Material】
[Level: Normal]
[Note: Some inferior wheat flour can be obtained through processing.]
...
The system's evaluation was rather appalling.
Su Bai, however, was very excited.
This assessment already demonstrates that the flour produced from this ear of wheat has reached the standard for consumption!
"Not bad, how's the production volume of this stuff?"
Su Bai asked with concern.
"A plot of land can produce about seven or eight ears of grain, but if it's processed into flour, about 30% to 40% will be lost..."
Da Chun looked somewhat embarrassed as he spoke.
But he continued, "However, sir, this gray wheat can be further cultivated. I believe that after a few more improvements, the yield can be increased!"
"Okay, I'll leave this to you."
Su Bai nodded.
As he said, the current yield of grey wheat is indeed not good enough.
One plot of land is one square meter of wheat field.
If only seven or eight ears can be produced, based on the ear in his hand, the total yield is estimated to be less than half a pound.
Moreover, the loss after processing is close to half.
All told, his territory now has a total of just over 100 square meters, and each crop can only produce less than 10 kilograms of wheat flour.
The difference is just too great.
It is still far from meeting the needs of his territory.
but.
This incident, however, served as a reminder to Su Bai.
Since he already possesses three territories and has Destiny Village as his first line of defense, one more wouldn't really matter.
