Chapter 410: Tight Raw Materials

While strolling through the streets, Avis bought a copy of the Federal Newspaper to see if anything big had happened recently, and by the way, he rejected several players' requests for help.

The headlines in the newspapers are still related to the latest series of measures taken by the sixth prince of the Laika Kingdom after he came to power.

For example, the whole country has been invested in vigorously supporting the development of fabrication, and all external forces are welcome to establish fabrication factories in the Kingdom.

A large number of constructor colleges have been opened in the private sector, and new students are exempted from all tuition fees for the first five years of enrollment and other favorable policies.

Obviously, after some forces behind the construct supported the sixth prince to ascend the throne, it was now the turn of the sixth prince Laika to fulfill the original agreement.

In addition, there are other news about some of the three kingdoms, as well as occasional news about dangers such as natural disasters and monsters, and you need to pay attention to your own safety.

Generally speaking, the situation in the Federation seems to be normal. Under the leadership of the wise nobles, society is booming, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and life seems to be getting better and better.

Although the expansion of a large number of construction factories occupied a lot of farmland and caused a lot of magical radiation pollution that was difficult to deal with, many original farmers had to put down their farm tools and work in construction factories to make a living.

But according to a praising report in a newspaper, it is precisely because of these construction factories that people have gained more jobs and income.

Although there are some minor negative impacts, for the development of the federation, these are just negligible pains. As long as we can survive this difficult time, a better tomorrow will eventually come!

"Tsk - these hypocritical nobles, why don't they experience the beautiful tomorrow they talk about for themselves."

On the side, a young half-elf who was wearing a light green cloth robe and holding a newspaper couldn't help but sneered.

"Be careful! Do you want to go in and squat for a few more days?"

After hearing his words, one of his companions instinctively looked around, and was relieved when he saw that no guards were paying attention to them nearby.

"What are you afraid of? In reality, you are being criticized. Do you still have to be criticized here? When my level rises one day, I will be the first to kill all these people."

However, the dissuasion from his companions seemed to arouse the rebellious psychology of the half-elf player.

"Okay, okay, just say a few words and that's it..."

With a stiff and slightly embarrassed smile on his face, his companion forcibly pulled him away.

However, the brief conversation between the two had completely fallen into the ears of Anvis.

In fact, the attitude of the half-elf just now is also a true reflection of many current players.

At present, the general level of players has reached level 30 or above. If someone organizes them, it will be enough to cause quite a stir.

What they lack now is a camp that can reasonably cause trouble.

When Anvis came to Silvermoon City this time, in addition to taking out the secret treasures of the ancient magic empire, he was also preparing to bring this camp to them.

The Federation's magic structure has developed to this day, and although it seems to be prospering rapidly, it is not without hidden dangers.

When the nobles and businessmen discovered that the cost and efficiency of using skeleton labor were far higher than that of normal workers, the seeds of conflict were already sown.

After finding the secret black market in Silvermoon City with familiarity, Anvis put on his isolation cloak and entered the underground guild hall of the black market. After paying a five percent deposit to the people there, a special mission was posted.

——Acquire 100,000 finished skeleton workers of the third generation structure.

In the task description, Anvis stated that he was a foreign chamber of commerce representative who was preparing to invest heavily in building a construction factory in the federation. The factory construction site had been selected, but now there was a lack of enough workers.

At the same time, he offered an astonishingly high purchase price: one hundred and twenty gold coins for each skeleton worker.

You know, hiring an ordinary worker for ten years only requires about eighty gold coins, and the current average price in the market is only this amount.

However, for convenience, the minimum number per transaction is fifty.

When this task was posted, it was found to be profitable, and someone immediately responded, recycling a large number of finished skeleton laborers from the market and selling them to Anvis.

But after selling nearly 10,000 people in this way, the dealers found that the goods on the market had almost been wiped out.

The principle is simple, there are only a limited number of dead people.

Although under ideal conditions, a skeleton laborer can last as long as fifteen to twenty years.

But the real situation is that due to long hours of high-intensity work and various other factors, the soul fire of skeleton workers is severely depleted. Often it can only be used for less than ten years before it completely decays and turns into a pile of useless garbage.

After the original skeleton laborers were exhausted, those merchants and nobles had no choice but to purchase new skeleton laborers.

As an important material, many magic experiments of the Necromancy School require the use of corpses.

But now, with another breakthrough in magic skills, the development of construction factories has directly occupied most of the resources of this originally very niche market.

Since they were bought to be used as productive forces, those big businessmen didn't care about the price at all. As long as the price is lower than using ordinary workers, you can scan as many as you want.

For gold coins, it is not that no one thinks of the former tombs, but corpses buried for too long are useless, and the number of newly buried dead is a drop in the bucket.

For this strange phenomenon, the Mystic Card Chamber has specially launched a new special field card [Construction Factory].

The Necromancer deck can choose to put its skeleton monsters and the spell card [Dead Scourge] into the factory to work, and a certain amount of mana will be produced every round.

If the consumption continues like this, the soaring price of "raw materials" is secondary, and the most important thing is that the number of dead will soon be insufficient.

For materials, the number of death sentences in the major kingdoms of the Federation has increased a lot in recent years, and activities to encircle and suppress bandits have been held again and again.

But the number of death row prisoners and bandits is limited after all. After almost being wiped out, it is not good to slaughter civilians for no reason in order to obtain materials.

Then, there is only one way to get enough labor.

War-

A war of sufficient scale is enough to obtain many high-quality materials.

Turning the people of other countries into their own labor force, producing more various types of constructions, obtaining stronger war strength, and rich spoils of war, a business with no capital and a lot of profits.

At present, everyone is relatively restrained. But when Avis issued this acquisition mission, some special effects immediately occurred.

Of the 100,000 skeleton laborers, more than 20,000 have been received so far, and there is still a gap of about 80,000, which is a large order of about 9.6 million gold coins.

So, what should be done to take up as much of this large order as possible?
