Wei Ran met Cheng Yuedong in a room at Xinhong Hospital.
He was not the only one in the room, but there were also five middle-aged men in their thirties and forties.
They were the ones selected by Cheng Yuedong to reproduce the design of the crystal bottle.
These people are quite old and have rich experience in sketching designs and casting weapons.
However, they are still weapon-casting apprentices and cannot be regarded as weapon-casting masters.
Weaponsmiths have a strict hierarchy.
The requirement for a first-level weapon forger is to create and forge an ordinary mysterious weapon.
The requirement for a Level 2 Weapon Forger is to create and forge an excellent Mystical Weapon.
The requirement for a Level 3 Weapon Forger is to create and forge a rare mysterious weapon.
The requirement for a fourth-level weapon forger is to create and forge five rare mysterious weapons.
The requirement for a fifth-level weapon forger is to create and forge an inherited mysterious weapon.
The requirement for a sixth-level weapon maker is to create and forge five inherited mysterious weapons.
The requirement for a seventh-level weapon maker is to create and forge an extraordinary mysterious weapon.
…
Among the levels of these weapon-smiths, the first to third-level weapon-smiths are actually considered weapon-smith apprentices.
Weaponsmiths of the fourth to sixth levels are considered weaponsmiths and are also called weaponsmith masters.
The seventh to ninth-level weapon-smiths are called weapon-smith masters.
Strictly speaking, although Wei Ran forged the extraordinary mysterious weapon, the Resurrection Armor, he was not yet a seventh-level weapon forger.
Because he did not forge the Resurrection Armor alone.
The promotion requirements are very strict.
Therefore, he can apply for a fifth-level weapon forger by creating an original and unique inheritance-level black weapon unparalleled sword box.
However, there is only one piece of material for the Wushuang Sword Box. If he wants to apply for a fifth-level weapon maker, he will have to get another inherited mysterious weapon...
As for the five people Cheng Yuedong found, they have quite a lot of experience in replicating rare-level mysterious weapons.
However, they do not have the ability to create rare mysterious weapons on their own, so they are probably only first-level or second-level weapon casters.
"Wei Shen, hello, hello..."
When the five people saw Wei Ran coming in, they were all a little cautious and quickly stood up to say hello.
"Well, hello."
Wei Ran nodded to them and went straight to the point: "Dean Cheng should have communicated with you in advance, so I won't talk nonsense."
"The registration fee is five hundred, and I will provide you with three pieces of paper and pen for making weapons. If you can successfully draw a design, you can stay."
"After that, I will provide you with three weapons-making materials, and I will pay for the cost of the weapons-making room. If you fail to cast a mysterious weapon with the three weapons-making materials, then please leave. I will not support you."
Idle people.”
"And if you can cast a rare mysterious weapon from the three weapon-making materials, you can continue to stay, and I will reward you with an additional three thousand yuan."
"If three materials are used to cast two mysterious weapons, I will reward you with six thousand yuan. If three materials are used to make two mysterious weapons, I will reward you with ten thousand yuan!"
After hearing Wei Ran's words, the five people's breathing became rapid.
Originally, there was absolutely no money to be made in this kind of illegal work.
Instead, he had to contribute money himself, in order to learn the experience and skills of forging soldiers.
Generally, they are weapon-casting apprentices who have no experience in casting rare mysterious weapons, and they come to do illegal work in order to challenge the third-level weapon-casting masters.
Veterans like them who are skilled at replicating rare mysterious weapons would generally not do such a thing.
I would rather spend my own money to buy the copyright of the original manuscript, and then make a copy of a rare mysterious weapon and resell it...
You can make more money this way.
But this time, the reason why they agreed to do illegal work was because Wei Ran changed the rules and was willing to pay him.
Moreover, the registration fee has also been reduced, making them basically no money.
Normally, the registration fee for such a black job of replicating rare mysterious weapons is one thousand yuan.
Then the other party will provide three pieces of weapon-making paper and a weapon-making pen. As long as you can sketch a design, you can keep it.
The difference with Wei Ran is not big, just five hundred yuan more.
But five hundred yuan is not small money.
And a piece of weapon-making paper that can carry the power of rare mysterious weapons costs at least one hundred yuan.
Three pieces of weapon-making paper cost three hundred yuan.
A rare weapon-making pen can be used about three times and costs about two hundred yuan.
Therefore, if you go to do this kind of illegal work, the other party will basically not lose money, even if others can't draw a single design drawing.
They can also make a net profit of 500 yuan.
Wei Ran is no longer like this. The registration fee is only 500 yuan. If you don't make any money from them, you won't lose either.
This is already very good.
Moreover, after passing the application, Wei Ran will provide the weapon-making materials, and they can earn three thousand yuan for each mysterious weapon they cast.
This is very comfortable.
It is better for them to purchase the one-time copyright of the rare mysterious weapon, and then bear the risk of casting the weapon themselves. If the casting of the weapon fails, including the licensing fee and material fee, they will lose at least 50,000 to 60,000!
Even if the finished Mysterious Weapon can be cast in the end, after deducting the licensing fees and material fees, they will only earn about 10,000 yuan, or even less.
In this case, instead of taking the risk themselves, they might as well come to Wei Ran. As long as they can forge a mysterious weapon, they can earn three thousand yuan.
As long as they are serious and down-to-earth, they can earn far more than if they work hard.
No need to worry all day long.
This is why they finally agreed to come for an interview after Cheng Yuedong came to contact them.
"Okay, okay..."
The five people agreed quickly and then transferred the registration fee to Wei Ran.
Then, Wei Ran asked them to sign the contract, and then took out the original design drawing of the crystal bottle and asked them to think about it carefully.
Once you have figured it out, start sketching.
"OK……"
The five people took the original design drawing of the crystal bottle and began to huddle together, thinking about it fascinatedly.
Wei Ran then left the soldier-making paper and pen, gave Cheng Yuedong a word of advice, and left Xinhong Hospital.
In fact, when he started, he planned to copy the common illegal work method, with a registration fee of 1,000 and no bonus.
But later, he remembered his past experience as an illegal worker. At that time, he had a very powerful apprentice forging weapons.
Under Wei Ran's attention, the opponent's three weapons-casting materials were actually able to forge three excellent mysterious weapons.
However, the other party did not do this, but deliberately destroyed two pieces, leaving only one piece so that he could continue to stay.
He didn't understand why he did this at first, but later he realized that it was because you couldn't make money by working illegally, so why should they make it easier for you?
Anyway, one mysterious weapon can be left behind, so why bother to get three?
Therefore, Wei Ran finally changed his mind.
He thought that the casting cost of the crystal bottle was about three thousand yuan.
Rather than letting others deliberately cause harm, it is better to reward others.
Once he has one more crystal bottle, he can earn hundreds of thousands more!
Why deliberately exploit others?
As for his reward method, if others want to imitate it, fine mysterious weapons are fine, but rare mysterious weapons are not so easy to use.
Because the structure of the crystal bottle is simple, the cost is also low, only about 3,000 yuan.
As for the Akiba Sword, its casting cost is nearly 20,000. This is because the Divine Weapon Arsenal optimizes and selects suitable weapon-casting materials, so it is cheap.
The cost of casting rare mysterious weapons designed by other weapon casters is basically 20,000 to 30,000 or even over 50,000!
Moreover, the art of forging weapons is still very cumbersome and difficult. If you can produce a finished product with three materials, you are very lucky.
You have to go all out.
Under this kind of oppression, there is no room for others to deliberately cause harm.
If you can't do it, just get out.
To be able to stay, I have tried my best.
And how much money do you want to reward a genius who can create a finished product from a piece of material?
If you don't have them, why would they come to work illegally at your place?
And their cost of making weapons is high, and they can't make much money from a finished Xuan Weapon, so how can they reward others with much money?
Wei Ran's crystal bottle is unique because of its simple structure and low cost, which allows him to do this.
