Chapter 1232 Probing!
At this time, on the distant Mars, the general base was operating peacefully as usual.
After the players withdrew, most of the lord players also began to get used to it. Although there was no new territory development and new population entry channels, they had more time to start researching their own civilization technology.
After all, everyone believes that the New Territories will be opened in the end. Whoever has better technology accumulation will be able to gain an advantage in the New World. Even if they take 10,000 steps back and say that the New Territories cannot be opened, continuing to study civilization technology will allow them to break through Restricted by Mars, go to alien planets to expand the territory.
And right now they really have nothing else to do
Not only do they have nothing to do, but the idle people in their hands have nothing to do
Yes, it is idle. Most of the foreign population withdrawn from the New Territories are now idle. Except for a few orcs with shaman talent who will be hired with high salaries to participate in agricultural construction and elemental cultivation, most of the enhanced population is basically nothing to do now. .
Some people may ask why these idle people are not allowed to mine?
This is about the system of public ownership of the mining industry. According to the city law of "Xinghai", private players do not have the right to mine energy mines. The five major cities have the right to mine, but they have to turn over 80%. There are strict restrictions, and each mine development needs to apply to the above, and the energy plant development can only be established after obtaining a permit.
As a result, the mines are actually limited now, and the mines are limited, so there is actually no need for so many people mining. As one of the important jobs for novice players to accumulate points, mining and moving bricks naturally cannot be colonized by outsiders. The population is robbed.
As a result, various cities have introduced protection policies one after another, restricting low-end foreign populations from participating in the mining industry. Each player cannot employ more than ten people for mining!
This made the players who had earned a lot of mining wages by relying on ogres and tauren yell at them, and also caused a large number of people in the New Territories to be idle.
In the first period of time, a large number of lord players were very unhappy. They were restricted from mining positions, and a large number of people under them could not do anything, but the consumption remained unchanged every day. Every day, they had to spend a lot of points to buy food grown in the city. It became more and more difficult to overcome.
Compared with old players, new players naturally support the mine protection policy. After all, most of the lord players have tens of thousands of people under their command. If the mines are limited, if the lord player can use his subordinates to mine without restraint , the wealth gap between ordinary players and them will definitely be widened.
This has led to deeper and deeper conflicts between old players, cities and new players.
However, this contradiction has recently begun to ease
The reason is that someone has taken a fancy to the value of these idle population, and this person is the lord of the first city: Angel
She took the lead in contacting those idle lord players in Huaxia City in private, and hired their people to do construction projects. Not only did she give a good price for points, but she also promised the priority development rights of shops in the new city, which attracted a lot of people at once. Overlord player.
After all, the people under his command have nothing to do for the time being. It is better to take over projects than to be idle. Although most of the people are not from engineering background, they still have the strength to be stupid after strengthening.
So in less than a few days, Angel signed dozens of big lord players one after another. "
On this day, Pu Yunchuan found Isabel with great interest.
"Angel contacted me just now, and said that he wanted to hire my people to build the infrastructure construction in their northwest block. Take a look at the points conditions given. Is this deal worthwhile?"
Isabel looked at the contract Pu Yunchuan brought over with great interest, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
To be honest, the conditions given by Angor are not bad, especially the right to buy shops in the new city, which is very attractive, because no matter how the lord player develops in the future, the entire Xinghai power will definitely still be based on the general base. The lot of location will only become more and more expensive, it is definitely a good thing to take the first opportunity to get the priority in the early stage!
But Isabel looked a little confused when she saw the contract.
"What's the matter?" Pu Yunchuan is now very familiar with Isabel's expression. Her appearance is obviously not a look of joy, but a look of concern
"Why do you think Angel wants to hire the population of us lord players?" Isabel asked without answering.
Pu Yunchuan was stunned when he heard the words, and then replied: "It should be a matter of cost, after all, it is not worthwhile to hire players to build infrastructure."
Although it sounds a bit colonial, it’s true. Players recorded from D-ball are expensive to use. Even if you don’t know anything, if you want to hire him to work for a day, you have to start at 20 points a day. , otherwise people would rather dig energy mines in exchange for rewards at the general base.
If this kind of price is used to do some low-end infrastructure work, it is obviously not worth the loss, and most cities are now in a state of loan, and they cannot afford such a huge salary for a group of players to do urban infrastructure work.
In this case, it is obviously more cost-effective to hire the idle population under the hands of the lord players. Regardless of the conditions they offered to Pu Yunchuan, if the same number of players were replaced to do things, the price would at least increase by a hundred times.
"Then why didn't other cities respond?" Isabel asked with a smile.
As soon as this question came up, Pu Yunchuan was stunned. Yes, why didn't other cities respond?
Forget about other cities, the key is that even Huaxia City doesn't seem to respond! !
unreasonable
Pu Yunchuan suddenly fell into deep thought. Huaxia City itself was well built. When the other four cities were still doing infrastructure construction, Huaxia City had basically formed a scale and had better conditions for external development. In this case, why did Huaxia City The official didn't find the Lord player for cooperation in the first place?
Obviously they are closer to the water.
After all, most of the old players now live in Huaxia City
Could it be that he didn't react?
As soon as this idea came up, Pu Yunchuan threw it to the back of his mind. He also had contact with the leaders of Huaxia City, unlike the NT township officials in his hometown, they were not so mentally handicapped.
And even if they didn't react right away, Angor's movements are so big these days, they should learn it even if they learn it?
But why is there no movement?
Thinking of this, Pu Yunchuan suddenly realized that this matter is not that simple, so he looked at Isabel, and said with a silly smile: "I can't think of it, tell me about it."
again
Isabel rolled her eyes, this guy pretended to be stupid every time she wanted to test him.
However, the progress has been obvious recently, so don't embarrass him.
Thinking of this, Isabel sighed, and said the answer: "The other people didn't move because they all knew that Angel was doing this to test, and to test something like this, it's enough for one person to show up."
"Testing?" Pu Yunchuan was taken aback: "Testing what?"
Isabel sneered when she heard the words: "Of course it's to test the owner here!"
