Chapter 367
The president of the mining association of Gold Rush Town, with a belly that looked like he was about to give birth, was walking on the road with a swaying belly. Accompanied by the deputy mayor of Pyroxene Town, he visited the town.
He came to learn advanced experience and try to apply it to Gold Rush Town.
In other words, he and Wood were actually in the same industry, but Wood sneaked in secretly and stole information in a sneaky way, while he visited openly and learned openly.
In fact, if Wood also revealed his identity and visited directly, the officials of Pyroxene Town would be happy to receive him, provide food and accommodation, and accompany him. Except for some secrets, most things would be explained to him in detail.
However, Wood made a mistake - he subconsciously felt that intelligence was very precious, and Pyroxene Town would definitely keep all kinds of construction experiences confidential, and he would never get the information he wanted without any special means.
This can't be blamed on him, who told him to come from the country of mages.
In the Secret Tower Federation, the emphasis on knowledge can be said to be obsessive. Because for the mages, the most valuable thing is knowledge. They applied this attitude to life and rule, and gradually formed the style of the entire Mystic Tower Federation.
For the people of the Mystic Tower Federation, knowledge? Secrets? Intelligence? Of course, they have to do their best, pay a huge price, and even die a few people to get it.
Just ask them and they will tell you all the experience of building a town? Dreaming!
However, for the people of the four towns in the northwest, this is a matter of course.
The environment in the northwest is harsh and it is extremely difficult to survive. Every year on the night of the new moon, there will be villages that disappear under the butcher knife of the skeleton army like a tide. This makes the people in the northwest pay great attention to unity. It is natural to help others when there is a little difficulty. It is also natural to help others when you are prosperous. What are the experience of building the pyroxene town? Do you want to know? I will teach you. (Please refer to the performance of the Buddha Palm after the Fire Cloud Evil God was defeated before the end of Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu")
The people of the Northwest will certainly use conspiracies and various struggles, but this does not prevent them from helping each other in normal times, let alone affecting their exchange of intelligence and information.
For them, the only limitation is whether they can use this information.
For example, the scene that the fat president saw now.
"What are you doing?" He pointed to a house with a deep pit dug in the foundation, two stone troughs far apart, and wooden hoops outside.
"That's the sewer and tap water." The deputy mayor took a look and replied, "But the sewer can be used once it's done, but tap water will take some time."
"Sewer? Tap water?" The fat president was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "What is that?"
"The sewer is where the dirty water used in daily life, as well as feces and urine, are poured in and discharged; the tap water has a valve at the outlet, and clean water can flow out when the valve is turned."
The fat president nodded and said, "This is very useful, but your mayor's house seems a bit off the beaten track."
"That's not the mayor's house, it's just a an ordinary resident's home." The deputy mayor smiled and said, "Our plan is to use three summers and autumns to build sewers and tap water for the entire Pyroxene Town, and build a pipeline system covering the perimeter of the town, which will be much more convenient when building new houses in the future."
The Fat President was shocked and asked in a lost voice: "How much does this cost? !"
The deputy mayor thought for a while and said: "In fact, it doesn't cost much. Besides, the stones are mined by stonemasons, the wood is cut by carpenters, and the workers are also residents of the town... In fact, there is nothing wrong with giving money to everyone."
The Fat President was silent for a while and sighed.
"We can't learn this, let's learn something else."
So the group bypassed the busy construction site and came to the square.
"I've always wondered how you can plant trees in the square?" Looking at the lush trees around the square, the fat president wondered, "This is too weird!"
"There is a purification array around our town."
"... We have one too, but at best there are only weeds growing in our town."
The deputy mayor shook his head: "The scale is different. Our purification array goes deeper than 30 feet underground."
The fat president was shocked again, stunned for a while, and asked: "How much will it cost?"
"I haven't calculated it, and it's hard to calculate it to be honest." The deputy mayor replied, "Because many of the materials are from the Void Mask Cult It was provided by Lord Satan, the chief wizard of the guild. It is said that he spent countless efforts to make such a purification array. Even if you have money, he may not be willing to help you make another one. "
"Besides this, there must be other expenses." The fat president asked again, "It can't be just the cost of materials."
"Yes, labor and so on, the expenses are actually not small. But most of the work is done by the patrol team, so generally speaking, it is not much."
"Patrol team? Setting up a patrol team here?" The fat president was shocked again-that's like throwing meat buns at dogs and never coming back!
"Well, we sent out ten strong villagers ourselves."
"Just so few people? Is this really okay?" The fat president was a little puzzled.
"The Church of the Void Mask supported five temple knights, a wizard and a priest."
"That's about right, but the cost is a bit high." The fat president nodded and sighed.
"...There is also a legendary strongman leading the team."
"Why do you put the most important things at the end! And how can you let a legendary strongman serve as a patrol?" President Fatty simply wanted to curse. This kind of practice is only useful if others can learn from it!
"Since there are legendary strong men, what do ordinary villagers do?" He couldn't help but ask.
"I'm responsible for moving things." The deputy mayor replied nonchalantly.
The fat president was so choked that he couldn't speak and just rolled his eyes.
"Actually, there are other expenses." The deputy mayor said innocently, "After the purification circle was completed, the negative energy collection station we built in the first phase was also within the purification range and was directly scrapped. Later we had to After digging a lot deeper, it was rebuilt.”
The fat man's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had found valuable information.
Even he knew that the low- to medium-level negative energy crystals produced in Huishi Town sold well in the magic materials market. Although the quality is not very high, it is cheap and high-quality. Many middle and low-level mages are willing to buy some. It is very convenient whether used as research materials or used to cast spells.
This is one of the main financial resources of Huishi Town, and it is also the most envied by other towns - at least before today, he was the most envious of this.
If you can learn this technology and implement it in the gold rush town, you will definitely have a lot of money!
Hearing him ask this, the deputy mayor was silent for a while and said: "This... I don't understand it very well. It's a bit troublesome to explain..."
"I'm not afraid of trouble!" President Fatty said firmly.
"...but I'm afraid of trouble." The deputy mayor said with a smile, "Well, when we pass by Isuca Magic School later, find a student to explain it to you. There are many senior students in the school back then. They have all participated in the construction of the collection station, and they must know more about it than I do.”
The fat president nodded repeatedly and couldn't wait to urge him to speed up and go to the magic school.
As for the scrolls that are said to enhance the happiness and cohesion of the villagers, some of the welfare facilities in the village, and how to improve the dietary conditions of the villagers under the existing conditions... he is not interested at all in these things.
Happiness? Cohesion? What is that?
Welfare facilities? It costs money, right? Not if you have to spend money!
Improve the dietary conditions of villagers? What a joke! He himself is just a mediocre person! He can only eat one piece of fruit a day, can only eat dessert twice a week, and lives entirely on barbecue and brown bread... Is there anyone worse than him?
As for those who didn't even have enough to eat, and even the poor who died of cold and starvation on the streets in winter, he simply ignored them.
In his opinion, do poor people count as human beings? Of course not! Without money and status, you cannot be considered a person!
Because of his urging, the deputy mayor quickened his pace and took him to the magic school.
The Magic School is probably one of the strangest buildings in the entire town of Huishi. It has no sense of art or life like ordinary houses. It is square and flat, and the whole thing is just a rectangular parallelepiped standing on the ground. There is a door on the ground floor with a door open and a sign hanging next to it.
No matter from any angle, this magic school does not look like a place for teaching and educating people, let alone the residence of the legendary and mysterious magicians.
The deputy mayor led the fat president to the school gate, but he did not rush in. Instead, he shouted at the door: "Isuka! Isuka, are you there?"
A strange light glowed at the empty door, and a ball of light emerged. A voice similar to that of a little girl came from inside: "Of course I'm here, I've always been here. Is there something wrong?"
"This is our town's neighbor, the president of the mining union in Taojin Town. He wants to ask someone for advice on how to build a negative energy collection station." The deputy mayor said.
The ball of light shook a few times and answered: "This question requires my sister's authorization. I can't let him in."
The deputy mayor was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the fat president.
"Then... let's go negotiate with Mayor Felix." President Fatty said with some lack of confidence.
Mayor Felix was no ordinary person. He was a strong man who had performed well in the world's best martial arts competition. He really didn't have much confidence in negotiating with such a strong man.
It turned out that his idea was correct.
"You want to know how to build a negative energy collection station?" Felix looked at the fat man with a big belly, flicked his fingers, and cast a "Detect Good and Evil" spell.
She and the deputy mayor both had a blue light that symbolized kindness, while the fat president had a red light that symbolized evil, and it was very red.
"I don't give this kind of thing to bad people," she said. "If someone like you learns this technique, he will do it randomly regardless of human life. In that case, it will be my fault."
"I can change it!" President Fatty said hurriedly, "I can change it! Really!"
He really means it sincerely. As long as he can make money, and make so much money, he can do whatever he is asked to do, let alone abandon evil and do good.
"Change?" Felix glanced at him sideways and said with a sneer, "Then I'll give you a year to try to improve the lives of the miners in Gold Rush Town."
"ah?"
"A year later, I will personally visit you and see with my own eyes the results of your 'reform'." Felix had a sarcastic sneer on his lips, "But I think you must also know very well that for a high-ranking person What will happen if a top battle mage talks nonsense!"
After saying this, she waved her hand, and the fat president didn't even have time to beg for mercy. As the sky and the earth darkened, he was teleported to the outside of Pyroxene Town.
