When Qin Qing came to visit, Luo Ling was looking at a material list, which was sent by Bao Si herself. It listed the various products that Budweiser can provide, as well as price details and preferential regulations. In addition, there are
This supplementary document also details some items and their quotations that are not within the scope provided by Budweiser. Because it is an electronic document, it contains a large number of slide pictures, which is very vivid and comprehensive.
This is the sales information compiled immediately according to Luo Ling's request. Among them, the main ones are infrastructure raw materials, equipment and equipment, armor and weapon production equipment, and magic raw materials.
Infrastructure equipment and raw materials are strategic materials that Luo Ling has reserved for his territory. Although the territory has not yet selected a site and has just begun to gather manpower for renovation, Luo Ling feels that starting to prepare these materials now, he can work slowly and carefully. Once
Waiting until you are ready to use it will only make you rush and delay the opportunity.
After all, base construction is not as simple as building three or five row houses. Although the early stage is not too extravagant for the sake of effect, a strong foundation still needs to be laid. Therefore, the budget for materials is a large amount.
Luo Ling originally expected to use the spawns under his control as laborers to mine raw materials and build cities. Later, when he thought about it, he himself knew nothing about construction. A layman commanding a group of idiots who could only do their best could build a city.
There are difficulties in building a large and sturdy kennel. If you want to build a base that satisfies you, you will probably have to study hard for several years as an architect in this field. The idea of operation in this step is very immature.
At this time, Budweiser's products came into his sight. There are types of biological brain mecha puppets specially used for engineering construction. All the formulaic construction concepts are instilled in the brains of these creatures. They only need to
With professional design drawings, sufficient raw materials and corresponding tools, they can build a base from scratch.
Today, when the population is severely underpopulated and the productivity of ordinary survivors is relatively low, it is indeed of great significance to master such a construction army and quickly open up a living area. But in comparison, the price of a complete set of construction mechas is
It is quite considerable, and there is a maintenance problem. The biological brain is very delicate and needs special nutrient solution and sleep cabin. The mecha puppet also needs enough spare parts and must be equipped with specialized technical maintenance puppets. This
It’s also a big expense.
Magic raw materials are also a huge demand gap. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. The transformation of Moggug's spawn cannot be successful by soaking in rotten liquid. Especially later on,
The more magic materials are needed, and considering that the world may not have the materials Moggugu needs, Luo Ling can only provide him with a detailed hodgepodge of materials and let the old lich identify and select those with similar properties.
Substitutable items. Nowadays, there are over 10,000 types of magic materials, and each item must be provided in kind. The possibility of consumption and replenishment due to experiments must also be considered, as well as the cost of purchasing in large quantities after selection. Therefore, this category
Will be the most consistent and distance of spending money.
In addition, the research needs of Moggug cannot be delayed. There is no doubt that modern technology based on mathematics is more sophisticated in terms of research precision and analysis and calculation than the ancient technology that involves a few bottles and jars.
There are many more brilliant ones in magic research and ancient alchemy research. Even if it is just to share the research results of the old lich, Luo Ling feels that it is necessary to introduce a set of experimental equipment for him, I can't say top-notch, at least first-class.
Luo Ling is a layman in scientific research, but he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run away. In the past, this kind of experimental research was a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was still US dollars. Now that palladium is strong, it has to be tens of millions.
At this level, money will definitely be spent.
As for weapons and armor production equipment, even small, old-fashioned production lines are frighteningly expensive. What’s even more frightening is that if you can afford to buy a car, you may not be able to afford to keep it. Raw materials are also a big expense.
Money project. Luo Ling made a simple estimate. Not mentioning the equipment of the intelligent spawn above the captain level, just considering the blue one, which was the lowest level of weapons in his mind, he raised two thousand spawns and chose the raw materials for manufacturing.
, lowering it by half a grade can save 20 to 30 million palladium costs. The cost in between can be seen.
Obviously, if Ye Cao doesn't make some extra money and can kill monsters all over the world by himself, he will definitely be the hardest-working mountain king in history. Feeding an army with two hands is an extraordinary test in itself.
.
"Poor people cannot afford to fight for hegemony!" Luo Ling naturally thought of this sentence when he was looking at the price list of materials. This is because he has an advantage in personnel. He does not have to worry about food, diseases, and physical discomfort. Naturally,
There are no problems such as attrition, instigation, low morale, or mutiny in the Xiaoying camp. It can be said that he is currently operating the most stupid force building, but even so, he still feels a lot of pressure.
"Hello, Luo Ling." Wearing a white high-collar brocade evening dress with a corset, her smooth shoulders and back were also hidden under the gauze. She was as noble and elegant as a goddess, and Qin Qing's image still remained.
It's so perfect.
Luo Ling nodded to this beautiful woman and Han Xiaolu, who looked like a maid in her aura, and made an inviting gesture inward. He did not let Ruoyi and the others watch the door, but greeted him personally. This was also an attitude.
.
They chose a flower room-style casual living room, and the two parties sat down. Ruoyi and the three girls served tea and desserts, and then avoided it knowingly.
"Luo Ling, I didn't want to, but I still can't help but ask, are we friends?" Qin Qing looked directly into Luo Ling's eyes, which were bright and filled with indescribable brilliance.
Luo Ling looked at Qin Qing indifferently and said in a low voice: "If there are friends in the years I spent after coming to Anshun Street, you are undoubtedly one of them."
"You mean, you've never considered us friends?"
"For me, the word friend does not always mean warmth. It's because my character is used to keeping a distance from everyone."
"When we are in danger, we do not hesitate to lend a helping hand. Doesn't this reduce the defense in your heart?" Han Xiaolu's voice was trembling. Compared to Qin Qing, her idea was simpler, because Luo Ling
The resentment caused by leaving without saying goodbye is also more direct. In fact, what she wants to ask more is: What do you think we are? How can we be so stinky if we are so powerful?
Luo Ling did not answer Han Xiaolu's question. He picked up the teacup on the table, glanced at the fragrant green tea soup rising with the steam, raised his head and said: "Someone told me, if you put aside your fighting power, who will flatter you?
You can also be nothing. I agree with this point of view. But 'if' is just a hypothesis and never expresses reality. Just like this tea soup, they are no longer tea and water and cannot be taken out separately."
Luo Ling took a sip and let out a breath, as if he was sighing at the fragrance of the tea or something else. "Why do we know each other? Is it because of my easy-going personality, noble character, and outstanding appearance? None of this, just because of me
Very capable. I am like a sharp weapon, and the only thing I can help others is the sharpness of the weapon. We are people from different circles, and our intersection is accompanied by the collision of forces again and again. My
Strength and your needs have enabled you to tolerate my withdrawn but sensitive temperament again and again, just like you tolerate the cold and refreshing temperature of a sharp weapon."
Luo Ling put down the tea cup, leaned forward and said seriously: "Although we are very familiar with each other, the essence of our relationship is still out of a need, and this need is obviously not emotional comfort. This is not friendship, but you may not be either.
It’s not as good as a so-called friend. You can let me go to you when I’m at my weakest, which in itself means a lot. Why do you need to use a title to define our relationship?”
"Isn't it good for us to be together? Does your lifestyle have to be to live alone away from people?" Han Xiaolu didn't listen to much of Luo Ling's reasoning. She just felt that Luo Ling was cold and unhuman, and Xing Juan and the others also followed her.
Such men live like savages.
"Please forgive my selfishness." Luo Ling smiled softly, a little dryly. "The deaths of Lao Ge and the others told me that others expect me to be a gun that can be used at any time, but I just want to follow my own wishes.
Shoot. I want to be more free, and I want to be myself as much as possible. To ensure my independence, I cannot be controlled, whether emotionally or in any other way."
Han Xiaolu Silence, freedom, what this word represents has never been simple. Human society is like a super clock. What it needs is countless qualified parts and gears. Real freedom is a defective product that is not suitable, or changes.
Either be eliminated, or like Luo Ling, become a conspicuous marginal existence that affects the overall appearance. He has only two choices in the future, to become another clock, or to be assimilated and become one or the key of this clock.
Or dispensable parts.
"Luo Ling, I'm not here to discuss rational things with you." Qin Qing said: "Not everything in this world is as complicated as you said, and our lives are not really that meaningful.
The life of most people is an inertial movement. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. They have no extra thought to study the relationship between people. Rational things are too heavy. Luo Ling, let yourself
Relax a little and let your family relax a little. People are social in nature, you know? You are escaping. Even if there are 10,000 reasons, it will not change this fact."
"I'm just fighting." An unprecedented brilliance flashed in Luo Ling's eyes, which was the light of faith. At that moment, this man who looked a little premature no longer looked ordinary. "I have asked Luo Ling more than once.
Ling, what are you fussing about? Accept your fate! There is no fairness in this world. If you are at the bottom, you must have the consciousness of being oppressed. Your strength faces the pressure from above, just like ants against mammoths. You are not against
One person, but a group of people, a group of superior people, a group of people with huge capital since birth. However, if I accept my fate, I will die. I don’t care about the pain they inflicted on me, but they do.
, they wanted to kill me like a maggot, but I just wanted to live. For this most basic wish, my family was killed, my friends stabbed me in the back, and I myself narrowly escaped death countless times.
Life. Apart from this life, I have lost everything. If I want to live, I cannot accept my fate. I can only make revolution to change my own destiny and the destiny of others. There is no fairness or justice, so I will preside over it myself.
A simple truth, the cycle of cause and effect, debts must be repaid."
Qin Qing sighed: "Your soul has been occupied by hatred."
Luo Ling did not deny it, but said directly: "Do you think people who have experienced things like me will still have the positive things described in textbooks mentally?"
Qin Qing was dumbfounded.
Han Xiaolu said firmly: "There is some. But it is not enough to bring us closer."
Luo Ling looked at Han Xiaolu, as if he wanted to find the element of drama in her expression, but he failed. "Li Xiao, are Ren Zhengzheng and the others okay?"
Han Xiaolu's eyes turned red and she whispered: "No, Li Xiao lost his right arm and had a limb transplant operation. In addition to the injuries on his body, it will be impossible for him to recover in less than four months. Even if he is cured,
, Unless he spends more money to recover from his injuries, he will only be able to teach in the base or work in idle positions in the future. Ren Zheng has not passed the critical period until now. He still has his parents, son and younger brother to support at home..."
"What kind of mission did it take to end up like this?"
"Search and rescue Xuanyuan Lieshui."
Luo Ling closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath. Some were happy and some were worried. The intricate threads of fate made the existence of some people a variable that changed the fate of countless people. When he was enjoying the joy of victory
At that time, we had a good relationship, but the limited number of people who attended his wedding had to endure terrible suffering and pain.
However, Luo Ling could not return the Xuanyuan Lie Water, nor could he leave it like an abandoned baby at someone's doorstep. He did not expect that one of the targets of the attack would be the eldest daughter of the Xuanyuan family, so he used a sniper rifle.
That is almost his exclusive signature. In the Guang'an area, there are only a handful of demon hunters who can use that kind of unrestricted modified weapons, and those with such combat power are even rarer. Returning the Xuanyuan Lie Water is tantamount to directly announcing it
, he was the one who took advantage of the situation in Sandiedong. Descendants of Xuanyuan and Shenzhou Company will never let him go.
Of course, paper cannot contain the fire, and the truth will be revealed sooner or later. Luo Ling does not expect that the other party will always be kept in the dark. All he needs is some time, at least six months, until he can support himself without being short of people and food like now.
, I have no choice but to do odd jobs for others, and even valuable magic props like MC have to be sold.
He took off a 50-cubic space ring on his wrist and slid it from the coffee table to Han Xiaolu, "Think of a way to make them live a better life in the future."
"No, how can we..."
Luo Ling raised his hand and interrupted Han Xiaolu's excuse. "This is what my family and I want. When I got married, there weren't many people having wedding banquets. I hope they can live a better life, at least they don't have to worry about money.
Too worried."
50 cubes, filled with most of the materials Luo Ling had hunted since his exploration to find the temporary nest. He had kept those ordinary goods to use as disguises when going to other bases in the future. Everything here was of high value.
The materials, conservative estimates, exceed 3.5 million palladium. With the salary allowances Li Xiao, Ren Zhengzheng and others currently have, they will not be able to earn so much in two lifetimes.
"We are not here to complain to you and ask for money."
"I know that if I am complaining and asking for money, I would be embarrassed to use this to offset the life-saving account."
"What should I do with the space ring?" A 50-cubic space ring is an expensive item in itself. In the Thunder Fire Northern Territory, on the surface, there is only one space ring of the same level.
"Just accept it and keep some valuable things for yourself to defend yourself. I know you donate money and things to help survivors, but you should also think about yourself. No matter in the past or now, those who really should use money to save people are
It shouldn't be someone like you."
"I..." Han Xiaolu's eye circles became even redder.
"In my hometown, there is a saying that it is easier to be a good person if you have money. The good reputation gained by helping someone with the money of a restaurant is nothing in my opinion. Well, on behalf of Li Xiao, Ren
Zhengzheng and their families thank me."
"Tsk!" Han Xiaolu was amused by Luo Ling. How could he be like this? He could ask for words of thanks.
After that, the topics of discussion were relatively relaxed. They were all asking each other, talking about each other's current situation, their feelings about coming here, and some content that did not touch the deep privacy of both parties. From the beginning to the end, Luo Ling acted as if Han Xiaolu was the real one.
Lord, and Qin Qing is just accompanying.
Qin Qing is also very good at being patient. She always looks gentle and generous, and does not feel any discomfort due to being left out.
After chatting for an hour, when Qin and Han were about to say goodbye and leave, Luo Ling said: "Han Xiaolu, Qin Qing and I have a few words to talk about alone."
Han Xiaolu glanced at Qin Qing, and after Qin Qing blinked and acquiesced, she took the first step to leave.
Luo Ling's face was as dark as water, and his eyes were beating when he looked at Qin Qing.
