Chapter 416 Incident
Soon, two months passed again.
During these two months, many major events happened in the Federation.
First, the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce, which had previously made a large investment to acquire 100,000 skeleton laborers, completely completed the construction of its assembly factory and began to sell various new military assembly plants to the Federation.
At the same time, the assembly factory invested by the Ever Gold Crown Chamber of Commerce from the Gloria Empire was completed almost at the same time as the factory of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce.
Then, the two large chambers of commerce started a brutal price war at a speed that the outside world could not react to.
The market price of a construct is 249 gold coins, and you only want to sell it for 200 gold coins? Okay, then I will sell it for 180 gold coins.
What? You've reduced the price to 170 pieces? Then I'll reduce it to 150 pieces!
The original retail price of a third-tier military individual construct was 249 gold coins per unit, but in this price war, the two chambers of commerce directly reduced the price to 120 gold coins per unit, and the price of bulk purchases could even be reduced to less than 100 gold coins!
You know, as low-level mass-produced magic constructs, the original main sales strategy of these constructs is volume, so their profits have been squeezed to a very low level.
To produce one such structure, the cost of the magic materials and magic crystals alone is more than 120 gold coins, not to mention the cost and loss of skeleton laborers and production lines.
After a period of price war, the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce and the Ever Gold Crown Chamber of Commerce seemed to have sent people to negotiate and reached a certain consensus, eventually stabilizing the price at 115 gold coins per unit and 96 gold coins per wholesale.
The prices of various other magical constructs have also been lowered to an ridiculously low level.
If this price is compared with the prices in Blue Star, it is equivalent to reducing the price of ultra-thin mutton ramen that originally cost six yuan a bowl to less than three yuan a bowl, which is not even enough to cover the cost.
Moreover, due to the huge initial investment, the production scope of the two chambers of commerce covers a very wide range, almost covering most of the military components and some civilian components.
Once the price war breaks out, the impact on many of the Federation's assembly industries will be enormous.
Some chambers of commerce that were backed by great nobles or whose main business projects were not here were fine, but other chambers of commerce that had smelled business opportunities before and also produced a large number of war structures were caught off guard by the two companies.
Selling at the same price as the price reduction is a loss-making behavior, which is equivalent to throwing gold coins into the water. If the price is not reduced, the goods produced will be held in hand, and the working capital will be directly locked up.
When the two companies were engaged in a price war, many small kingdoms in the federation were happy to see the result. After confirming that their products were indeed genuine and had no quality issues, they directly placed a large number of orders.
The two companies accepted the order in full, and the first batch of over 100,000 magical structures of various types were all delivered on schedule.
In response, many other chambers of commerce watched coldly, feeling that the two companies were simply crazy. If they continued to sell at this scale, they would eventually go bankrupt even if they had more money.
With sufficient equipment support, the scale of "friction" among the many small kingdoms began to gradually increase, and there was a tendency to involve other kingdoms.
For some unknown reason, all kinds of coincidences always occur on the battlefield, causing the seeds of hatred to grow further.
At the same time, in this tense situation, the legendary terrorist resistance organization [Circle of Truth] suddenly reappeared before the world.
Several black-robed men wearing robes with the emblem of the Ring of Truth raided the Frenos Valley, the largest magic crystal mining area in the entire federation, and stole a large amount of super magic crystal ore there.
At that time, there was a ninth-rank warrior stationed there, but when he saw the people from the Ring of Truth coming, he ran away immediately.
According to what he said afterwards, there was definitely more than one Ninth Order who attacked! As for the reason why the Ring of Truth suddenly attacked here, some people speculated that it was probably because of the Sky City.
Without the Eternal Core, the various high-level golems and weapon systems they obtained from the Sky City would inevitably be unusable due to lack of magic power.
It was also during this event that the Circle of Truth made its first announcement, stating that they would restore the glory of the ancient magic empire and calling on the royal families of the various kingdoms not to try to stop the chariot with their own arms.
Then, without waiting for the ninth-level forces to cause trouble for them, before those ninth-level enemies arrived at the location, the people of the Ring of Truth disappeared again with the resources.
Many forces in the Federation were shocked by the events in the Frenos Valley.
Although they had heard of the name "Circle of Truth" before, they still had no impression of it.
It was not until this scene happened that they truly realized that this organization was so close to them.
During this month, Avis, posing as the mysterious black-robed man from the Ring of Truth, temporarily planted the seeds of distortion in several high-level professionals.
These people were not good people to begin with, and now, in the eyes of the outside world, they have become more unscrupulous after "joining" the Circle of Truth.
Of course, at the last moment, they will be the abandoned pawns to be pushed out.
As for the ninth-rank warrior before... when Avis, wearing the Truth Circle Cloak and bringing a few newly found "companions", was about to throw a limit-breaking scroll at him, the other party sensed his presence and ran away directly using a secret method.
In addition to the above items, a concept called "Construction Network" has also recently become popular among the people of the Federation.
Although the word "construction" is included in the name, in fact, the basis supporting the construction network is the consciousness of each user.
To access this network, one needs a special qualification certificate, which is the corresponding construct headband.
Wear it before going to bed, and when the wearer falls asleep, they can enter a special dream space.
There, you can get all the wonderful things you dream of. It is like a beautiful dream of heaven, which makes people immersed in it even though they know it is false.
No one knows where this thing originated from, but the impact of its emergence is no less than that of previous wars, big or small.
Especially in reality, when facing the pressure and hardships of life, more and more people begin to indulge in it, and even don't want to wake up for a long time.
In response, even high-level professionals were alarmed and wanted to investigate the people behind the construction network. But in the end, all investigators gave up. . ….…. "…I'm sorry, I don't have any intention of trying it for the time being."
Faced with a man who enthusiastically invited him to "try out" a high-end headband, Landon, who had just escaped from the Kingdom of Morn and arrived in the Kingdom of Silvermoon, politely rejected the dealer's sales pitch.
If Avis were here, he would be able to see that although Landon's face was a little pale and his injuries were obviously not healed, his true strength had already reached the peak of the second level and was about to break through to the third level.
At the same time, following him was not only his sister Leah, but also an elf girl who was rescued along the way.
"This thing gives me a bad feeling. Why don't those high-ranking people take care of it?"
At this moment, looking at the salesman leaving, Landon frowned a little.
"You idiot! Since it has not been stopped, then it must have other intentions. Moreover, for this thing to reach its current scale, how could there not be a high-level professional backing it up? There may even be a ninth-level professional behind it!"
