Douluo's self-disciplined soul beast

Chapter 549
The risk is too great, it seems that the metals needed have to go back to Tiandou to buy, Tiandou is not without it, but the locations are scattered, it is quite difficult.

Gengxin City is not only a concentration place for blacksmiths, but also a concentration place for metal materials. Even the craftsmanship here is mostly ahead of the outside world. Before, it was because the relationship between soul masters was not paid too much attention, but now it is different.

If Lou Gao really waited to completely manage the entire Gengxin City, then for him, it would mean that his status would rise, and he would be able to obtain more resources and freight channels.

The bead in front of him seemed to be an unsolvable problem, so what was the other way that aroused Tang San's suspicion

"Compare the quantity?"

"That's right, compared to the quantity, the number of people is random, and whoever makes more things within the specified time wins."

"Do you make those little beads too?"

"How is it possible? Even if I know how to make those beads, it will take me quite a while to get one, so there is no need for any competition. If I choose the number, I will go to them and talk to them, and then research and compare.

But Titan, what exactly are you doing here this time?I'm afraid it's not just about buying metal? "

At present, Lou Gao has no plans to directly switch to another method, because that would be tantamount to admitting defeat to him, so he is still working hard, and he also began to wonder why Titan came here.

In the past, what Titans needed was not precious metals, but a large amount of cheap and cost-effective minerals. This was related to the business of the Li Clan, and the price/performance ratio was very important.

"In addition to metal, there are also blacksmiths. In fact, you are also our target this time."

"???"

Hearing Tai Tan say such tiger-wolf words, Lou Gao's eyes changed.

"What do you want from me? Although your forging skills are a billion points worse than my brother's, you are considered top-notch. What do you want from me?"

"It's like this. We have established a sect named Tang Sect. There are many things that need to be built inside. I can't do some top-notch things, so we need excellent blacksmiths."

Tai Tan roughly explained the reason, and now there is a new reason, if Lou Gao is willing to join them and win in the subsequent competition, then they will have a dark move in Xingluo, which is a great thing.

Generally speaking, I want to pull the other party into the group.As soon as the words came out, Lou Gao chose to refuse without even thinking about it.

"Don't go, don't go, I have nothing to do with you to join some sect. I have almost done enough as the president of the Blacksmiths Association. If the people below are not up to date, I would have resigned a long time ago."

This answer was also expected by Tai Tan, so he had something to say later.

"Don't refuse in such a hurry, old brother, if you join our Tang Sect, there are many interesting new tricks you can create."

He knew what Lou Gao's weakness was, Bai He was obsessed with petty money, Yang Wudi was preoccupied with practicing guns and refining medicine, and Lou Gao's favorite thing was blacksmithing.

He studied the pen ball for so long not only because of the bet, but also because of his own hobby. Any exquisite design can attract him. With the thinking of a titan, he feels that the method of casting hidden weapons is enough to attract the opponent.

Those fancy hidden weapons are enough for him to keep busy for a while.

In fact, he guessed right, this really made Lou Gao a little interested.

"for example?"

"For example...Young Master?" Tai Tan looked at Tang San, he still had to do this matter, so Tang San took out a black box.

"That's it? I thought what was it? Isn't it the Liannu? Recently, people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect came and they gave me one, but it was broken by me, and the new one hasn't been delivered yet. .”

"Well, senior, in fact, this thing is the inheritance of our Tang Sect. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect just stole our wisdom, and we are the founders."

"oh, I see."

Lou Gao's reaction was very cold, and he didn't even care. For blacksmiths, copyright awareness does not exist. You made a set of armor, and I made a set. Can you say that I copied you?

This can only be called similarity, and for a blacksmith, it is an achievement to forge something that others can't. There is no way.

If the things you made were cracked, it can only be said that the technology is not good enough, no wonder others.

After all, when things are forged, they are sold. Since they are sold, they will be cracked one day.

Of course, if you take other people's things and claim that you invented them yourself, you will indeed be condemned, but Qibao Liulizong never said that this thing was researched by yourself, and it was just sold, so from the perspective of Lou Gao's thinking, It's nothing.

"But you want to use this thing to let the old man join your sect, it's impossible."

"Senior, this is just the very beginning, there are many others stronger than it, even those who can hurt Contra..."

"No, no, this is only one aspect of the problem, and there are other issues, such as joining your sect, what can you bring to the blacksmiths? Can you bring them higher income or higher status?"

Lou Gao brought the topic to the whole industry. In Geng Xin City, his status is very important. If he said that he didn't like a certain person, then Geng Xin City would not do business with this person.

The reason why Lou Gao is respected by many blacksmiths is not only because of his forging skills, but also because he has been fighting for more status for the blacksmiths.

If he joins a certain faction, he has a lead role for all blacksmiths.

"This... Zongmen is a start-up, and the environment is relatively difficult, but we have a comprehensive development plan"

Insufficient money, insufficient manpower, and mediocre strength. This is the situation of Tangmen. They have to tighten their belts for their own development, and they basically rely on drawing cakes to recruit others.

If in the past, maybe Lou Gao would have followed this big pancake that he drew, but now, he has a ready-made meat pie to eat, why would he want a biscuit drawn by someone else? Not everyone is named Ma Liang.

Lou Gao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Are you trying to be an empty-handed white wolf? Do you know how miserable we blacksmiths are now? Except for Gengxin City, we are the bottom in any other place. existence. Why? It’s because we blacksmiths have no status!”

Blacksmiths on the mainland are always in a very awkward position. The weapons and utensils made by blacksmiths are all needed in life, but this is a world of soul power.

Soul power exists in all aspects of life, and those who have Wuhun as a hoe don't need to buy a hoe in this life.

The same is true on the battlefield. The duel between soul masters is very important. A set of heavy armor that has been honed over time can block feather arrows and knives and guns, but when encountering stronger soul masters, this is a large can shell .

And the weapons made are not as good as the soul master's own body and spirit, so blacksmiths are very important to ordinary people, but they are relatively useless to the soul master class.

What Lou Gao said was true. He can be said to be the founder of the blacksmith industry, and he always wanted to make the future of blacksmiths better.

In view of this situation, Tang San's brain was running fast. He knew that this was definitely an excellent opportunity for him. If he grasped it well, it would have an immeasurable impact on the future development of Tangmen.

The problem is how to convince Lou Gao.

Looking at Tai Tan, Tai Tan is also looking at him, but from his eyes, it can be seen that he has nothing to do.

After pondering for a moment, Tang San said to Lou Gao: "Senior, you are the president of the blacksmith association, but I am actually a blacksmith, and my father is also a famous blacksmith.

To make the blacksmith's future better, joining the Tang Sect is actually a good choice. "

Taking advantage of the situation, he decided to try to persuade Lou Gao from this aspect. It wasn't that Lou Gao didn't have any interest in hidden weapons just now, it's just that he didn't have much interest.

"When I founded Tangmen, I also thought about the impact it would have on the blacksmith industry.

Some technologies can indeed improve the status of blacksmiths if they are used, but they are the foundation of Tangmen.

The Tang Sect can cooperate with the Blacksmith Association, and the Tang Sect will formally hire some skilled blacksmiths to forge hidden weapons for us.In this way, as our hidden weapons of the Tang Sect flourish, the status of blacksmiths will naturally rise.

In the future, I can teach some relatively common methods of making hidden weapons to the Blacksmith Association."

"Stop, boy, for the sake of the Titans, I won't hide it from you. The conditions here are much more realistic than yours. First of all, their technology is open to us, and if I help them integrate Gengxin City, Then, as long as the blacksmiths who join have the ability, they can learn the forging of soul tools."

How to improve the status of blacksmiths in the eyes of soul masters, answer, let them do the business of soul masters.

Soul masters look down on ordinary equipment, but soul guides are different, no soul master will reject a soul guide.

When blacksmiths can make soul tools, they will no longer be that simple blacksmiths. As for the source of the soul tool craftsmanship, the official explanation is deciphered after taking back the ruins on the island.

Reasonable and concise.

"More than that, Xinxingluo has updated the rating of blacksmiths, encouraging inventions and creations, as long as they can manufacture meaningful things, they can be awarded titles based on practicality and development potential, do you understand? This means that blacksmiths can rely on their own Strive to achieve class cross-border."

What can be developed by a powerful empire is naturally not something that can be developed by a small sect that has just started. One is a new type of state-owned enterprise with a huge foundation, endorsed by the empire, although the battle between the old and the new Xingluo is not over yet.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old Xingluo is just surviving in the cracks.

It's not that Xinxing Luo can't do it if he doesn't do anything. It's because he is worried that the other party will jump over the wall and make extreme incidents. At the same time, he is also digesting his own territory. After a period of time, this will inevitably be resolved.

"So, if you win Gengxin City, you can become a country of blacksmiths, and if you lose, you will be treated very well. Why should I join your fledgling career, and this hidden weapon is really good, but compared to the soul guide The difference is too much.

A flying soul master used a soul tool to throw stones down from the sky, and the power was even greater than this little thing.

Of course, even though I'm not interested, I won't stop you guys. If other blacksmiths can agree to your invitation, then let them go, but remember it's best not to ask people from Xingluo, they will basically not agree. "

"Don't you guys want to buy a batch of metal this time? In short, buy it first and then make other plans. Silong, I will leave the rest to you.

Buying anything in the association is free of their handling fees.If you buy something from members of our association, tell those guys and get a discount. "

"Yes, teacher." With Lou Gao's status in Gengxin City, a small discount can still be promised.

Then Lou Gao waved his hand and said: "Okay, you guys go first. Oh, yes, there will be an auction tomorrow night. There should be a lot of good things. Titan, you are familiar with the auction, and you can go by yourself later. I I don't care about you."

While talking, Lou Gao had already walked under the lamp of the soul guide and continued to study the little bead, he couldn't believe that he had no clue at all.

When Lou Gao expressed his opinion, Si Long would naturally go to do it well, but as Lou Gao's first disciple, he was still very good at handling things. Lou Gao usually entrusted him with a lot of things to do. Still that familiar smile.

"Vice President Titan, it's very late now, and you won't be able to buy anything now. Give me the purchase order first, and I'll look for it for you, so that when the time comes, you can directly choose the right materials gone."

Tai Tan chuckled: "You're so smart, that old Lou Gao only knows how to forge. You've been in charge of the association's affairs for so many years. Lou Gao is too much, and even asked you to be that guard."

Si Long smiled slightly and said: "That's our business. If we didn't follow the rules, our VIP auction house wouldn't be as large as it is today. To be honest, the biggest source of income for the entire Blacksmith Association now comes from this at the auction."

Tai Tan nodded, "I see, we blacksmiths have no status. This is the list, you can ask someone to buy it for me. I trust you."

Titan took out a purchase list and handed it to Silong.

Silong took a look and was stunned, "Vice President Titan, it must be my eyesight.

I've never heard of anyone buying these rare metals by the ton.No wonder the two fellow daoists traveled all the way to Gengxin City.With so many goods, I am afraid that only we in Gengxin City can find them. "

Titan chuckled, "Remember to give us a discount."

Silong wiped the sweat off his forehead: "Well, discounts are available, but the discounts can't be too large. If the discount is too large, you will go bankrupt, and the vice president of Titan, with all due respect, you have to pay for this amount. If you don't go out, let alone the national border, you probably won't be able to pass the inspection of going out of Gengxin City.

The total minus two zeros is almost the same..”

"Don't worry about it, let's talk about it later."
