Yang Rui had only used a few days to capture 2000 horses in Western Liang. This meant that he had earned 40000 gold coins. Even after deducting the cost of the lassos and the fees for listing the horses in the market, the profit margin was still very large.
What made Yang Rui quite happy was that after the CU Alliance had obtained 2000 horses, they once again signed an agreement with Yang Rui. For the next eight months of the game, they would buy 1000 horses from Yang Rui every month. The price was still set at 2000 silver coins per horse.
This agreement was of course a good thing for Yang Rui. All he needed to do was spend more time capturing more horses in Western Liang. Therefore, under the CU Alliance's request, Yang Rui finally "reluctantly" agreed to it.
It wasn't completely Yang Rui putting on an act. Since the CU Alliance was in a hurry to purchase so many horses, they must have found a stable source of Cavalry Skill Books. When the time came, Yang Rui would probably have to equip a strong potential opponent.
The CU Alliance was the same as the bosses of the other player organizations. They were originally very interested in Yang Rui's matter of subduing Zhang Ning. However, Yang Rui also brushed them off. Although the CU Alliance was a young university student, there were some things that he could see clearly. Seeing that Yang Rui wasn't willing to talk about it, he didn't ask any more questions. After obtaining the horses, he left.
After Yang Rui had met with the bosses of the four top ten player organizations, the remaining ten or so bosses of player organizations also went to visit Yang Rui's residence. By the time Yang Rui had met with these bosses one by one, an entire night had passed.
Most of the conversations with the bosses of these ten or so player organizations revolved around a few key issues. Yang Rui also avoided the main points and talked about the weak points. Since he ignored the key points, Yang Rui's conversations with these players' bosses were mostly about building relationships.
Therefore, from the night's banquet to daybreak. Although they had stayed up all night, most of the time, they were only talking about adding each other as friends, establishing contacts, and even talking about their daily lives! However, this process wasn't without gains. Yang Rui unexpectedly made a deal with two of the player organizations.
One of the deals was made between Yang Rui and Waning Moon's boss, Remnant One. In his previous life, Waning Moon was a very mysterious player organization. In previous games, they specialized in assassination and other businesses. It wasn't until the current game that they were considered to be on the right track. Their territory was also the first wave of player organizations to upgrade to a Town level 1 territory. They weren't much weaker than large player organizations. From this, it could be seen how strong they were.
Previously, Cripple Nine had traded a dilapidated ship with Yang Rui. This time, when Yang Rui saw his boss, Remnant One, he was only a little curious and chatted for a while. He didn't think that he would make another trade with him.
However, Yang Rui immediately changed his mind when Crippled One took out the blueprint of a battleship.
"Daggerboat blueprint: Can be used to make a daggerboat, 8 zhang long. It had a width of 20 feet and was equipped with specialized attack positions. It could seat 20 marines and infantrymen and engage in short distance boarding battles. Materials: 20 units of ninth grade wood, 300 units of common wood. Requirements: Advanced Dock, Advanced Carpenter. "
Yang Rui previously owned some small fast boats, transport boats, and the like. However, their naval combat power was not strong, and there was not much difference between them and ordinary boats. Dagger-Axe boats could be regarded as a regular combat boat. It could provide Yang Rui with no small guarantee for the safety of Wenshui!
"… Scorching Sun, we obtained this blueprint by chance. At that time, we obtained two copies. I won't hide it from you, Scorching Sun. I, Waning Moon, have already used one of them. However, due to the lack of wood, production was greatly limited … This blueprint could be considered Waning Moon's greeting gift to the Scorching Sun. I've often heard that Remnant Nine brat mention your loyalty … "
Remnant One was actually a fatty. He was different from the cold and arrogant Remnant Nine. Although Remnant One was the boss of Waning Moon, he seemed to be full of the habits of the jianghu. Furthermore, he was prepared to directly give the daggerboat blueprint to Yang Rui!
"Boss Crippled One is too courteous. The broken ship that we traded with the Crippled Nine Brothers last time has been of great use to us many times. This time, we naturally won't treat Boss Crippled One unfairly. It's just that I don't know what Waning Moon needs now …"
Yang Rui naturally wouldn't take the other party's blueprint for no reason. In truth, Yang Rui felt that Waning Moon was a mysterious organization, and he wanted to keep a respectful distance from it. In his previous life, many people on the forums had guessed that Waning Moon's people were assassins in real life!
Of course, now that Yang Rui's strength had increased by a lot, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of those hidden threats. However, Yang Rui also wouldn't take the initiative to provoke trouble.
"Hahaha, Remnant Nine said that Blazing Sun bro is straightforward and has principles. This time, I'm really convinced … I'll definitely invite the Scorching Sun to Waning Moon someday … Hehehe … Because Waning Moon's territory is a bit special, we haven't been producing. Recently, due to some special reasons, we've been lacking in food supplies …
Also, if the Scorching Sun has enough high-grade wood, I, Waning Moon, would like to make a deal with the Scorching Sun. Scorching Sun will provide the wood, and we can split the daggerboats according to the ratio. What does the Scorching Sun think? "
Before Yang Rui met Crippled One, he didn't know much about him and Waning Moon. However, he didn't expect that Crippled One, the leader of a large mysterious organization, would have such a personality and appearance. He didn't know if his true personality was like this or if he was pretending to be like this.
"Oh? Leader Remnant One actually has such needs. I, Blazing Sun, can't just sit by and do nothing … "
Remnant One's two needs were food and wood. Yang Rui happened to have enough of both. Thus, after discussing with Remnant One, Yang Rui took out 50,000 kilograms of food as the price for the daggerboat blueprint. He then signed an agreement with Waning Moon to exchange 9th grade wood for a Fourth Grade Water Soldier skill book. Every 5 units of 9th grade wood would be exchanged for a Fourth Grade Water Soldier skill book.
Previously, Yang Rui saw that the items Waning Moon provided were all related to the navy. Thus, he didn't follow Remnant One's suggestion of exchanging wood for a daggerboat. Yang Rui already had a daggerboat blueprint in his hands, so why would he exchange for one? Instead, he tried to suggest exchanging the Water Soldier skill book for wood. He didn't expect Remnant One to immediately agree after thinking for a while!
From this, it could be seen that Waning Moon didn't lack Water Soldier skill books. However, the highest grade skill book that Remnant One was willing to offer was a Fourth Grade one. Remnant One claimed that he hadn't seen any skill books above Fourth Grade, so he didn't know the specifics!
Yang Rui currently had several hundred Water Soldiers, and the strongest among them was only Third Grade. The power of the daggerboat blueprint and the Fourth Grade Water Soldier skill book was also not that great. With the daggerboat blueprint and the Fourth Grade Water Soldier skill book exchanged from Remnant One, Yang Rui's power on the water would greatly increase. Whether it was to better control the water surface of Wen Shui or the development of the navy in the future, it would be greatly beneficial!
Compared to Remnant One, the leader of another player organization was much more cautious. This leader came from the Black Dragon Guild, which was currently ranked 101 in the Three Kingdoms Civilization Zone. Black Dragon Guild was a new player organization formed after the start of 'War of the Worlds'. Recently, their ranking had been constantly rising, and their momentum was very strong. They were about to break into the top 100!
Black Dragon Guild's leader, Black Dragon Entering the Clouds, did the same as the other player organizations. He first chatted with Yang Rui. However, after chatting with Yang Rui for a while, Black Dragon Entering the Clouds did not leave. It was obvious that he had something he wanted to say, but couldn't bring himself to say it.
Even though Yang Rui saw the signs, he didn't want to waste too much time. Seeing the hesitation of the other party, he decided to speak less and quieted down. Anyone with a discerning eye could naturally see that Yang Rui was about to send him off.
It wasn't that Yang Rui was cold towards people, but the number of players who came to visit was not small. Moreover, Yang Rui was only making a symbolic appointment, and it would take a lot of time. Thus, it wasn't a good idea to keep wasting time.
"Castellan Blazing Sun, Entering the Clouds came here with the intention of cooperating with Grand Mountain City in all aspects. This included the transfer of game coins, information, skill books, equipment, and so on. Unexpectedly, the few friends I spoke with before also revealed the general attitude of Grand Mountain City and Castellan Blazing Sun. Thus, Entering the Clouds' words were unnecessary. However, there is one thing that I hope Castellan Blazing Sun can consider … "
Seeing that Yang Rui didn't say anything else, Black Dragon Entering the Clouds seemed to have made up his mind and finally said something. When Yang Rui heard this, even though he looked calm on the surface, he was immediately tempted. This was because Black Dragon Entering the Clouds' words were even more tempting than Yang Rui's cooperation with Iron Blood Sword!
Needless to say, Yang Rui readily agreed to one of Black Dragon Entering the Clouds' conditions. He also agreed to the terms of cooperation with the other party! The conversation between the two lasted for more than two hours. It was the longest conversation that Yang Rui had with all the players' leaders …
After meeting with all the players' leaders, Yang Rui simply left his residence and went to visit the other visiting players. Although the remaining players weren't leaders of their own forces, since they had come to express their goodwill, Yang Rui didn't want to treat them badly. Moreover, visiting them was just a small matter. There was no need to talk about anything substantial.
It was worth mentioning that when Yang Rui went to visit the Hundred Flower Alliance's Loveflower Dancing Butterfly, he discovered that the female player had already left. Although he didn't know the exact reason, Yang Rui could more or less guess. It seemed that in the end, Yang Rui had provoked the Hundred Flower Alliance!
Another half a day passed before the visiting players left one after another. Many of them were unwilling to leave. This was because when they wanted to go out at night to investigate the Grand Mountain City, they were stopped by the patrolling Beginner Generals in Ao Lai Valley. Therefore, even though these players had only been to the Grand Mountain City once, they still didn't have the slightest idea of the situation in the Grand Mountain City!
The next day, Iron Blood Sword sent a group of players to the Grand Mountain City. Under Yang Rui's arrangements, these players all joined the Grand Mountain City and became the temporary Liegeman of the Grand Mountain City. However, the range of these players' activities were all limited to the checkpoints, the newly built inns and the outskirts of Ao Lai Valley. Yang Rui didn't give them the opportunity to spy on the Grand Mountain City!
On the third day, the number of temporary players that joined the Grand Mountain City had reached 48000. At the same time, Yang Rui also selected a party of around 1000 people, making up the 50000 people requirement to enter the Instance Dungeon. Together with Iron Blood Sword, they were teleported to the Instance Dungeon.
"System Notice: You have reached the minimum requirement to activate the Terracotta Soldier Instance Dungeon with 50000 people. Do you wish to activate it? Please make your choice! "
As all 50000 soldiers were under the command of Yang Rui, when Yang Rui arrived at the Instance Dungeon, he received a system notice.
