Chapter 199 Illuminating the Way Home
for Ten Thousand Dukes personally took care of the cultivation of Chuixuezhu.
After all, this evil plant has the possibility of infecting humans without protective measures, so they must be on guard against it.
"How's it going, James?" Duke drove the shuttle over for inspection when he was at work.
"Sir, judging from the current propagation method of blowing snow pillars on the farm, root propagation and plant cuttings are not acceptable. Only red worms seem to be able to reproduce, but the growth rate is very slow and it is difficult to establish respiratory resonance." James is a level
1 The Great Spirit Planter has reached an advanced level of mastery of breath resonance, but it is still difficult to resonate with Fuxuezhu.
Only Duke, a level 2 elf user, can resonate with Fubuki Hashira anytime and anywhere.
"Then focus on cultivating red worms. I brought back a lot of samples from Fuxuezhu. You can dig out a lot of red worms." The red worms they were talking about were the densely packed, disgusting tentacles that grew out of Fuxuezhu's body, like small bugs.
"The survival rate is too low, sir. The samples you brought back may not be able to grow enough selected plants." James replied.
Duke nodded and said: "It doesn't matter. I have asked Broken Sword to continue collecting snow-blowing pillars in Cuihai Valley. You can plant them with confidence." "My
lord, you have made arrangements, so I am relieved." "
Cultivation well, the future of snow-blowing pillars will be great. " It's no worse than Yulu. Once the cultivation is successful, our farm will take off immediately." "
Hey, sir, in fact, the farm is taking off now. A large number of Yulu have evolved into 0-ring spiritual plants and can be sold in the market." James laughed excitedly. After half a year of preparation, the farm finally saw money back.
"This is where we are. If we haven't evolved a level 1 spirit plant, we can't even take off." Duke said as he walked to Fuxuezhu's cultivation field.
Xiaoyi hangs up the "Rainfall Breathing Method" to resonate the breathing of all the snow blowing pillars that may survive and promote growth.
He could feel that most of these snow-blowing pillars had a "dying" feeling.
Leaving the evil-infected Cuihai Valley, these snow-blowing pillars lost their resistance to evil and began to degrade and wither.
But there are still a batch of red worm seeds, exuding a trace of vitality in the desperate fields.
These are the hopes.
After casting the spell once, Duke entered the greenhouse where Ji Yulu was. The chicken jumped out of the sea of air and circled around Ji Yulu.
"Duke, Ji Yulu has grown up!" The chicken shouted in surprise.
"Of course it will grow up. I bought this farm specifically for your Ji Yulu to promote its evolution." The
little chicken said flatly: "You still have some conscience!"
"Let me look at your legs. "Duke directly picked up the chick's tail, lifted it forward, and carefully inspected the two short legs at the connection between its head and tail.
Compared with the head and tail, these two short legs look very ridiculous.
"Let me go!"
"Don't move."
After careful observation, Duke concluded that the chick's short legs were twice as big as when they first met.
The speed is not fast, but after all, this is a legendary rare elf, and it is exciting enough to see the traces of its evolution into a big elf.
"You will evolve into a great elf, little chicken."
"Of course." The little chicken shook its thick tail with a matter-of-fact expression, "My grandma said that I was extremely smart and said that I could become the elf king in the future!" 2
rings There are little elves, 3rd level big elves, and above that is the legendary 4th level elven king.
As far as Duke knows, like dragons, there may not be even one magical being like the Elf King in the entire Seven Towers Federation.
Not to mention the Elf King, even the Great Elf has no records.
Even in the entire Black Flood River, the number of known elves can be counted on one hand, and only a few spiritual plant scholars have elves.
"Don't think blindly, I will be satisfied if you can evolve into a great elf." Duke smiled.
The little chicken said with disdain: "You are really worthless. What a rare thing a big elf is. I can evolve into a big elf casually." "I
found that in addition to your bad mouth, you also have the problem of trapping the wind." "
What do you mean? Binding the wind, I don't know arcane magic, so why should I bind the wind?" Chicken taunted, "You know arcane magic, you must like bundling the wind!" "Okay."
Duke knocked on the chicken's head , "Play with Ji Yulu for a while, I'll pick you up in half an hour." It
was a rare visit, and he planned to cast a spell on all Yulu on the farm.
Then he followed the Knight Guards and trained in fighting spirit martial arts for a while. After "Holy Light Sword Technique", "Fighting Spirit Armor" and "Imperial Dragoon Lance", he also practiced an auxiliary fighting spirit martial art "Gamat". Shield".
This martial skill is not practiced with a shield.
Instead, the fighting spirit is condensed in front of the body, and the fighting spirit is resonated outside the body through the use of the hands or the hands and feet together, forming a defensive wall of fighting spirit similar to a shield.
This was created by a 3rd level advanced fantasy beast knight named Gamater.
Like "Fighting Armor", Duke can directly condense the Gamater Shield through Xiaoyi's cheating.
With his hands raised parallel in front of him, Xiaoyi quickly cooperated to activate his fighting spirit, and the resonance was instantly established, condensing an irregular Gamma shield.
When Duke changes his posture and crosses his hands, Gamater's Shield can also change its position, shape and size accordingly.
When he raises his right leg, his right hand assumes the same defensive posture, causing a resonance between the hand and leg, and Gamater's Shield can change again.
"My lord's talent as a knight is unparalleled!" Great Knight Affleck exclaimed, "'Gamat Shield' is a very difficult fighting spirit martial skill. I once spent a year practicing it, but ultimately failed."
Teyasi followed up and praised: "Yes, it is said that for this martial art, one must break through and become a fantasy beast knight, in order to successfully perform it with the cooperation of the fantasy beasts." "The difficulty is indeed not
small, and it took me a long time to understand its secret. Duke said calmly.
With Xiaoyi's intelligent assistance, this is much better than the combination of fantasy beasts, and the mere "Gamat Shield" is indeed not a problem.
If he wanted to, Duke could let Xiao Yi create a similar fighting spirit martial art.
Of course, this is not necessary.
Xiao Yi's power must be used on the blade to help him meditate and practice, build arcane wonders, and improve the first-ring sand eagle... He
signaled the knights to continue training, and Duke also continued to cooperate with Xiao Yi, using "Gamat's Shield" 》.
This fighting spirit martial art is more suitable for use with bare hands and has a huge advantage in combat, but the posture when performing the moves is a bit weird.
It always gives him the feeling that he is the blind monk in LOL.
Raising arms and legs, the moves are similar to fighting.
"The training went very smoothly, which also means that in addition to the "Fighting Armor" and the arcane shield, I successfully added another layer of armor."
If he didn't value the ability of "Gamat Shield" to stack armor, there would be no need for Duke to practice it.
Compared with arcane magic, fighting spirit martial arts are too weak.
Duke just loves stacking armor, especially when he saw burrowing army ants invade the farm that day. When the group used the mud armor spell, they resonated with each other and stacked armor. From the weakest 3rd ring spirit beast, they stacked armor to arcane magic in one leap. Unbreakable absolute defense.
That kind of shock was something he would never forget.
Therefore, the direction of his daily training is not to practice powerful arcane arts and pursue greater lethality, but to continuously build up armor.
The thickest armor can withstand the most vicious blows.
By the time the sun went down, Duke had finished his training and called to Vivian, who was still sweating: "End the training, Vivian. I'm getting ready to go home from work. Come with me."
Vivian No pretense, disband the escort knights immediately.
Then he went to the farm's rest room to take a quick shower, change clothes, and then followed Duke on the shuttle to the Mage Tower.
After picking up Mulali, he quickly returned to Villa No. 17 in Beverly Manor.
After arriving home, Duke directly asked not to disturb him, then entered the studio and began to repair the arcane cards.
This is his collaboration with Xena.
Mulali went to practice on the large terrace. She had to take some family secret medicine to naturally open the spiritual sea. But as long as the spiritual sea is opened naturally, there is always a certain chance of being promoted to arcane mage - even those who take drugs Among the spiritual apprentices, great arcane mages were born.
While she was practicing, Vivian also came to the big terrace, hugging her contract partner Mimi, the black-spotted serval cat, and practicing the blood refining method.
Do not disturb each other.
But soon Mulali lost her patience in practicing, and looked at Vivian with a smile: "Sister, you have been training too hard recently. Look, your skin color is almost tanned to a wheat color. Sir, I like it. She has fair skin and is beautiful."
Vivian opened her eyes, glanced at Mulali, said nothing, and continued the blood refining.
However, Mulali kept talking: "Have you ever seen Ms. Kilia Nutao? She is extremely beautiful, her skin is white and delicate, her figure is tall and plump, and she speaks with a very elegant temperament. Even the husband can't help it. Looking at her secretly."
Vivian couldn't help but frowned: "What does it have to do with me?"
"What do you think it has to do with us? With our status, can we expect too much? Mr. is a genius. Mage Ao!" As Mulali said, she quietly came over and hugged Vivian. "My sister is also very plump and beautiful, but her skin is a little darker." Vivian couldn't help but
put Mulali's hand in her arms. She said: "I am the captain of the knights for your lord, and protecting your safety is my only belief!"
She said word by word: "I am still very weak now. Only by training diligently can I become a qualified captain of the knights!"
Then she gently pushed Murali away: "Don't disturb my training."
Looking at Vivian who closed her eyes again and hugged Mimi's blood refining, Murali couldn't help but pursed her lips: "Sister, it's so boring.
Then she returned to her training chair and muttered: "Sir, I appreciate your hard work, so you should show your hard work every day to show him!" Mulali
is not just a sixteen-year-old girl.
Being born into a noble family made her more sensitive to humanity than ordinary people. She could tell that what Duke admired most was not his appearance, but his character.
If you can only be a vase next to Duke, you won't be able to attract Duke's attention at all.
So if you want to get Duke's attention, you have to pass the test and perform better than others, so that you can be recognized.
"You like to work hard, but I work harder than you!" Mulali thought angrily.
Then adjust your mentality, start practicing meditation seriously, and strive to be promoted to a three-star spiritual apprentice as soon as possible.
...
Duke never paid attention to the competing thoughts of those around him.
He is no longer a fool who would be misled by beauty. For the people around him, beauty certainly makes him feel happy, but whether he can do it or not is what matters.
At this stage, he has too many things to be busy with.
By the end of May, the factory of Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company had been built and the assembly line set up, and it was ready for mass production of portable lamps.
Thanks to the promotion through the name of Erwin Earth Arcane Mage and an order from the Xibidi Spiritual Mine Company, the brand of Giant of Light has penetrated directly into thousands of households, faster than advertising in a slideshow photo. .
The Giant of Light's advertisements were also published in newspapers. The Giant of Light even paid to invite several famous singers to sing in the square outside Shenjiao City to promote its products.
A lot of money was spent, and naturally a lot of orders were received.
In particular, the mining group under the Nutao family purchased a large number of headlamps and miner's lamps from the Giant of Light at one time.
Directly taking over half of the Giant of Light's output.
This is also equivalent to a heavyweight advertisement. The Nutao family's status in the Black Dragon River is unparalleled.
"Mr. Duke, your two sales promotions are better than all the marketing methods of the publicity department." General Manager Vuillard praised sincerely.
"I can only let the giant of light get on the right track in the Black Flood River." Duke shook his head, "Sales in other places need your efforts. Also, beware of Runwanjia Spiritual Weapon Factory. Once they produce portable lamps, they will immediately Report to the Erudite Tower."
"Understood, I have sent someone to bribe a workshop supervisor of Runwanjia to report to us the new content of Runwanjia's products at any time." Although
Vuillard is just an ordinary person, he was previously employed by Boishui The Corps ate and waited for death, but after joining the Giant of Light, they quickly exploded with their own energy. The most important thing to keep the Giant of Light in order is to be willing to listen to Duke and not to make arbitrary decisions on your own.
With Vivian's relationship, he felt at ease with Vial.
"By the way, Giant of Light still doesn't have a promotional slogan so far, which I think is a pity. There must be a slogan to reflect Giant of Light's great vision and corporate culture." Duke's inspiration flashed.
"Sir, please give the Giant of Light a promotional slogan."
"Then use - Giant of Light, lighting the way home for millions - as the company's promotional slogan." Duke said.
As a result, this promotional slogan quickly appeared on the product packaging of Giant of Light.
June has just arrived, and the production line debugging of Giant of Light has been completed. The first batch of portable lamps, headlamps, miner's lamps and other products have successfully passed the inspection and been packed into special packaging boxes.
Shipments will be made in order of order.
The city tram platform has also been replaced with a new slide card advertisement. A beautiful woman is standing at the door of her home, holding a portable lamp to illuminate the darkness ahead.
A line of large characters shined in the darkness: "Giant of light, illuminate the way home for millions." The
slide card quickly switched to the next picture, a man wearing a headlamp, walking on a path in the dark, Ahead is his home with lights on.
There are also big characters shining brightly in the darkness: "Giant of light, illuminating the way home for millions."
The third picture immediately following is the product introduction of the Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company, as well as contact information and ordering information.
Giant of Light does not retail directly.
However, after the advertisement was put out, ordinary people would naturally go to the spiritual weapon store to inquire, and then the spiritual weapon store would come to the giant of light to purchase the goods.
The shuttle flies through the streets of the city.
Duke looked through the car window at the advertisement on the street train platform, feeling a little familiar with the earth.
But overall, the feeling of strangeness is still huge.
"Without the film and television industry and without the Internet, the Seven Towers Federation loses a lot of feeling." He thought silently, "There has been some progress in the research on slide cards, but it is not yet time to register a patent. Let's develop it first. ."
If you take too big a step, you may pull your balls.
Not only does Duke's business need to grow bigger and bigger, but its own strength also needs to get stronger and stronger in order to defend its fundamentals.
"Sir, the advertising slogan is really well written." Mulali said, "When I was a child, I sneaked out to play in the street. When it got dark, I was most afraid of the small road from the town to the manor. There were no street lights and it was pitch dark. I'm scared to death. If you have a portable light, you don't have to be afraid."
"Which path? I remember that the paths around Black Snake Manor have street lights, right?" Duke asked.
The map information recorded by Xiaoyi includes all the paths Duke has walked, as well as most of the details on the paths.
Duke is always available for consultation.
"It's the small road next to the main road that turns back from the Snake Head Tower. At that time, we didn't dare to take the main road when we went out to play. We always took the small road to go home, but now there are street lights on the small road." "Street lights
and There is no conflict with the portable light..." Duke smiled.
Unknowingly, the shuttle had traveled to another tram platform, and the slide card advertising space on this platform was also bought by the Giant of Light.
The pictures that light up on the slide card are several brand new promotional pictures.
A mercenary group set up camp, and the light beams of dozens of portable lamps illuminated the spiritual beasts that invaded the camp like daylight; a cave exploration team relied on the light source of their headlamps to walk freely in the passage, as if they were at their own home.
Within ten days, most of the rail train platforms in Shenjiao City will be occupied by advertisements for the Giant of Light.
For this reason, the Giant of Light spent nearly 200 gold dragons in promotional expenses.
In addition to advertising in newspapers, inviting singers to sing for promotion, and distributing leaflets on the streets, the cost of promotion alone must exceed 500 gold dragons.
But the publicity effect is worth so much effort.
"Mr. Duke, good news. More than fifty spiritual weapon shops have sent people to the company to inquire about lamp information, and many of them have placed orders. There are also several large-scale mercenary groups who have also sent people Came here to consult and purchase."
Viard came to visit Beverly Manor after dinner and reported to Duke personally the sales performance of Giant of Light.
"This is just the beginning." Duke said calmly, "The factory must ensure the stability of production capacity. After the funds are withdrawn, it will expand production capacity as soon as possible, promote marketing to other cities, and spread the company's products to the entire Fengxi territory as soon as possible. ."
"Yes, sir!" Vuillard said enthusiastically.
He just nodded to his daughter Vivian, then said goodbye and left the villa. He had to go back to the company to work overtime. Now the Giant of Light factory has three shifts, working overtime to produce lamps.
"Contact your father more later and advise him not to be so desperate." Duke took Vivian's hand and said.
Vivian was used to this kind of intimate behavior. She let Duke hold her hand and responded: "Although my father works a little harder now than before, he is in good spirits. He can find his own value. I have no reason." Dissuade him."
"The company is still short of people. Let's go back to the society and recruit a few deputy managers to share the work for your father."
Duke is not trying to check Vial. As an arcane mage, the company has no way to People dare to fool him.
He really wanted to relieve Vuillard of his burden. As an ordinary person, Vuillard's body couldn't stand working all night like this.
For the next month, Duke paid close attention to the situation of the Giant of Light.
Since the product was officially launched on June 1st, it has become the most popular company in Shenjiao City this month thanks to large-scale publicity.
Maybe not thousands of households buy lamps, but there are definitely thousands of households who have heard of the Giant of Light brand and the names of lamps such as portable lamps and headlamps.
A spiritual weapon shop in the outer city.
Tom walked into the store with the Linglong Card in his arms. He was going to buy a Lingfeng Lamp. Because during this period, his wife's job was adjusted from day shift to night shift. He had to ride a bicycle to pick up his wife every night and had to walk through a dark road. .
Without a spiritual lamp to illuminate the road, I always feel unsteady.
"Boss, where is the Lingfeng Lantern?" Tom asked.
"Buy the Lingfeng Lamp. It's in the middle of the first row of shelves. Look for it yourself." The boss held a novel and read it with relish without any thought of getting up.
Tom followed the boss's instructions and went to the first row of shelves to search.
Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of a newly posted poster on the wall. On the poster, his husband was walking on a dark road holding a portable lamp.
At the end of the road is a home with lights on, and my wife standing at the door.
There is also a line of large characters on it: "The Giant of Light, illuminating the way home for millions of people."
Below are several lamps produced by the Giant of Light, such as portable lamps, headlamps, table lamps, etc., each with a specific purpose.
"Hey." Tom was attracted by the advertisement, "Boss, what is this giant of light? Is it a Lingfeng lamp? Why is it different?" "
That is a lamp produced by a new company. It is similar to the Lingfeng lamp, but it has more shapes. A little." The boss said casually. Opening a store was not his intention. Reading novels was his favorite. "The shelves under the poster are lamps. You can plug them in with the male card and try it yourself." The male card is a piece of paper with a rope tied to it
. The spirit storage card.
Tom found the portable light printed on the poster and found that this small, exquisite and beautiful-looking portable light had no card interface at all.
"Where to insert it, boss?"
"What did you get?"
"This." Tom raised the portable light in his hand and shook it.
"Oh, that's a small portable light. You don't need to insert a card. You just press the switch and it turns on." The boss glanced up and continued reading.
Tom scratched his face and felt confused: "No need to insert the card? What kind of spiritual energy does it use without inserting the card? It automatically absorbs spiritual energy. Is it so powerful?" He carefully pressed the switch, and suddenly a bright beam of light came out
. .
Tom took the portable lamp and shined it everywhere. The more he played with it, the more he felt that this thing was good. Not only was it very bright, it could also illuminate any place he wanted.
At that moment, he excitedly asked the boss: "How much does a portable lamp cost?"
"25 Silver Dragon."
"What!" Tom was stunned, "25 silver dragons, boss, why don't you go and grab it? A portable lamp only costs dozens of copper dragons. Although this portable lamp is beautiful, it is not so expensive, right? What's the difference between robbing money?"
"What do you know!" The boss finally put down the novel in his hand and walked over, "This is sold to rich people. Do you know what's in it? The manufacturer directly stuffed a The curved spirit storage card goes in. Think about how much a spirit storage card costs!" "
Ah, can such a thin handle still hold a spirit storage card?" Tom didn't believe it.
The boss rolled his eyes: "You don't know about the bendable spirit storage card. You really want to buy a portable lamp. Look at this. This one is cheap, 45 copper dragons." He took a much thicker portable lamp from the shelf
. Compared with the exquisite portable lamp in my hand, the lamp is rough in workmanship and ugly in shape.
He casually inserted the male card into the card machine interface of the portable lamp, and then pressed the switch, which also emitted a bright beam of light: "How about this? It can be inserted into the card. It is no different from the Lingfeng lamp. The price is also cheap. It is very heavy when you get it. It has a built-in self-defense function. If you smash it on the head, you really can’t get up.”
“This is good, maybe it’s cheaper?” Tom was very satisfied with this card-inserted portable light.
It's a bit ugly, but it's heavy.
The previous 25 Silver Dragon portable lamp was indeed very beautiful, but it was beautiful and could not be used as food. The most important thing was that it was cheap.
"It's not cheap. This is a new product. It's better than the Lingfeng lantern. It's cheaper than the Lingfeng lantern. You can't even pay for a copper dragon." The boss waved his hands repeatedly.
"Then I want it. Oh, by the way, this is a desk lamp, right? Is it for use on the table?" Tom glanced at the desk lamp aside.
"Yes, this works so well. I even keep one for my children. I use it when they do homework. It saves energy and brightens the eyes. It's good for children's eyes." "How much does it cost?" Tom thought to
himself My daughter is in school and has to do her homework late every night.
Lighting a fixed lamp does not require spiritual energy, but the key is that the brightness is not good enough and can easily hurt the eyes.
It would definitely be better if there was a desk lamp.
"65 Bronze Dragons, no bargaining."
Tom gritted his teeth and said: "Two of them together, boss, please calculate how much it will cost!"
