1238 Chapter 1278: probing!
At this moment, on Mars, the main base was operating peacefully as usual.
After the players withdrew, most of the Lord players started to get used to it. Although there were no new territories and new channels for people to enter, they had more time to start researching their own civilization technology.
After all, everyone believed that the new world would eventually open up. When that time came, whoever had better technological accumulation would be able to gain an advantage in the new world. Even if the New World could not open up, they could still continue to study civilization technology, it would also allow them to break through the restrictions of Mars and go to the outer planets to expand their territory.
Moreover, they did not have nothing to do at the moment…
These days, the city lords of the five major cities began to take action. They began to take the initiative to contact the lord-tier players, and the purpose of the contact was to target the idle population in the hands of the lord-tier players…
That’s right, the idle population. Most of the Outsiders who had returned from the New World were now idle. Other than a few orcs with shaman talent who would be hired to participate in agricultural construction and elemental training, most of the strengthened population had nothing to do at the moment.
Perhaps some people would ask why these idle people were not allowed to mine?
This had to do with the system of public ownership of the mining industry. According to the city law of Galaxy, private players currently did not have the right to mine energy mines. The five major cities had the right to mine, but they had to hand over 80% of it, there were strict restrictions on the development of mining sites. Every mining site had to apply to the higher-ups for permission before they could establish an energy plant to develop.
As a result, the number of mines was actually limited. With the number of Mines Limited, there was actually no need for so many people to mine. As one of the important jobs for novice players to accumulate points, mining and moving bricks was one of the most important jobs, naturally, it could not be snatched away by the foreign colonists.
As a result, all the cities had issued protection policies one after another, restricting the low-end foreign population from participating in mining sites. Each player could not hire more than ten people to mine!
This caused the players who previously relied on the ogres and Tauren to earn a large amount of mining wages to curse. This also caused a large number of people in the new territories to become idle.
In the beginning, a large number of lord players were very unhappy. With their mining jobs restricted, a large number of people under them could not do anything. However, their consumption remained the same every day, every day, they had to spend a large number of points to buy food grown in the cities. The more they passed, the harder it was.
Compared to the old players, the new players naturally supported the mine protection policy. After all, a Lord player had thousands or even tens of thousands of people under his command, with limited mines, if Lord players could use their subordinates to mine without restraint, the wealth gap between the ordinary players and them would definitely widen.
As a result, the conflict between the old players, the city, and the new players became deeper and deeper.
However, this conflict had started to ease up recently…
The reason was that someone was interested in the value of these idle people. This person was the city lord of the first city, Angor… …
She was the first one to contact the idle lord players in Huaxia City and hired their people to do construction projects. Not only did she offer a good price for the points, but she also promised to give priority to the development of shops in the new city, this attracted a lot of lord players.
After all, those people had nothing to do for the time being. It was better to do construction projects instead of idling. Most of them did not come from the engineering background, but they still had the strength to be stupid after being strengthened.
In less than a few days, Angor signed dozens of great lord players.
———- —
On this day, Pu Yunchuan found Isabel in high spirits.
“Angor just contacted me. He wants to hire some of my men to build the infrastructure in their northwest district. Take a look at the points he offered. Is it a good deal?”
Isabel looked at the contract that Pu Yunchuan took with great interest, her eyes narrowed slightly.
To be honest, Angor’s offer was not bad, especially the right to buy the shop in the new city. It was very attractive because no matter how the lord-tier players developed, the entire galaxy would still be based on the main base, this location would only become more and more expensive in the future. It was definitely a good thing to get the priority in the early stage!
However, Isabelle looked a bit confused when she saw the contract.
“What’s Wrong?”Pu Yunchuan was familiar with Isabelle’s expression now. She was not happy, but she was worried…
“Why do you think Angor hired Lord Players?”Isabelle asked instead of answering.
Pu Yunchuan was stunned for a moment before he answered, “It should be because of the cost. After all, it’s not worth it to hire players to build the infrastructure…”
Although it sounded like a colony, it was the truth. The players recorded from Ball D were expensive to hire. Even if they were newbies who knew nothing, hiring them to work for a day.., they had to earn 20 points a day. Otherwise, they would rather mine energy ores in the main base in exchange for payment.
If such a price was used to do some low-end construction work, it was obviously not worth it. Moreover, most of the cities were in the state of loans, so they could not afford to pay such a huge salary for a group of players to do city construction work.
Under such circumstances, it was obviously more cost-effective to hire the idle people under the Lord tier players. Although the conditions they offered to Pu Yunchuan were not bad, if the same number of players were to work for them, the price they would have to pay would be at least 100 times higher…
“Then why didn’t the other cities respond?”Isabelle asked with a smile.
Pu Yunchuan was stunned when he heard this question. That’s right, why didn’t the other cities respond?
Forget about the other cities, the main point was that even Huaxia City did not respond!
That did not make sense…
Pu Yunchuan immediately fell into deep thought. Huaxia city itself was well-built. While the other four cities were still in the process of building their infrastructure, Huaxia City had already formed a large scale. With better conditions to open up to the outside world, under such circumstances.., why didn’t the Huaxia city officials find the Lord players to cooperate with them?
They were closer to the water tower…
After all, most of the old players were living in Huaxia City Now…
Did they not realize what was going on?
Pu Yunchuan threw this idea to the back of his mind as soon as it popped up. He had met the leaders of Huaxia City before, and unlike the NNT town leaders in his hometown, they were not so stupid… …
Besides, even if they did not realize it right away, Angor had been making a lot of moves these days. They should have learned it by now, right?
But why was there no movement at all?
Pu Yunchuan suddenly realized that it was not that simple. He looked at Isabelle and smiled foolishly. “I can’t think of anything. Tell me…”
Again…
Isabelle rolled her eyes. Every time she wanted to test him, this guy would pretend to be silly.
However, he had improved a lot recently, so she did not make things difficult for him.
Isabelle sighed and answered, “The others didn’t move because they knew Angor was testing them!”
“Testing?”Pu Yunchuan was surprised. “Testing what?”
Isabelle sneered. “The owner of this place, of course!”
