Chapter 199 Lighting up the way home
For the cultivation of Fuxuezhu, Duke has personally done it.
After all, this kind of evil plant has the possibility of infecting humans without protective measures, so we have to be prepared.
"How's it going, James?" Duke drove the shuttle over to make an inspection when he was at work.
"My lord, judging from the current breeding method of Fuxuezhu on the farm, root propagation and plant cuttings are not good. 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, as the 1st Ring Great Spirit Plant Envoy, has mastered breath resonance, but it is still difficult to resonate with Fuxuezhu.
Only Duke, the 2-ring elf envoy, can resonate with Blowing Snow Pillar anytime, anywhere.
"Then focus on cultivating red worms. I brought back a lot of samples from Fuxuezhu, and the red worms can dig out a lot." The red worms they were talking about were the densely packed, worm-like disgusting tentacles that grew out of Fuxuezhu's body.
"The survival rate is too low, my lord, the samples you brought back may not be able to grow enough selected plants." James replied.
Duke nodded and said: "It's okay, I have asked Broken Sword to continue collecting blowing snow pillars in Cuihai Valley, you can plant them at ease."
"My lord, you have already made arrangements, so I can rest assured."
"Cultivate well, the prospect of Chuixuezhu is no worse than that of Yulu. Once successfully cultivated, our farm will take off immediately."
"Hey, my lord, the farm is actually taking off now. A large number of jade dew have evolved into 0-ring spiritual plants, which can be sold in the market." James laughed excitedly. After half a year of preparation, the farm finally saw money back.
"That's where it's at. If it doesn't evolve a 1-ring spiritual plant, it won't be considered a take-off." Duke said as he walked to Chuuxuezhu's cultivation field.
Xiaoyi hangs up the "Yuluo Breathing Method" to perform breathing resonance and promote growth for all possible surviving snow blowers.
He could feel that most of these blowing snow pillars had a "dying" feeling.
Leaving the Cuihai Valley infected by the evil spirit, these blowing snow pillars have lost their resistance to the evil spirit, and have begun to degenerate and wither.
But there are still a batch of red worm seeds, exuding a trace of vitality in the desperate field.
These are the hopes.
Casting the spell again, Duke entered the shed where Ji Yulu was, and the chick jumped out of the sea of air and circled around Ji Yulu.
"Duke, Ji Yulu has grown up!" Chick shouted in surprise.
"Of course it will grow up. I bought this farm specially for your Ji Yulu to promote its evolution."
Chicken flat mouth: "You still have a conscience!"
"Let me see your legs." Duke directly held the chick's tail, lifted it to him, and carefully inspected the two short legs at the junction of its head and tail.
Compared with the head and tail, these two short legs look very ridiculous.
"let me go!"
"do not move."
After careful observation, Duke came to the conclusion that the chick's short legs had grown twice as big as when he first met.
The speed is not fast, but this is a legendary rare elf after all, and it is exciting enough to see the traces of its evolution into a big elf.
"You will evolve into a great elf, chick."
"Of course." The chick shook his thick tail with a natural expression, "My grandma said that I am extremely smart and that I will become the king of elves in the future!"
2-ring elf, 3-ring big elf, and then the legendary 4-ring elf king.
As far as Duke knows, like dragons, there may not be one magical life like the Elf King in the entire Seven Towers Federation.
Not to mention the elf king, even the great elf, there is no record.
Even in the entire Heijiaohe land, the number of known elves can be counted on one hand, and only those few spiritual plant scholars have elves.
"Don't think about it, I will be satisfied if you can evolve into a great elf." Duke laughed.
Chicken despised: "It's really worthless, the big elf is such a rare thing, I can evolve into a big elf casually."
"I found that besides your bad mouth, you also have the problem of wind."
"What is the wind, I don't know arcane art, what kind of wind am I?" Chick mocked, "You know arcane, you must like wind!"
"Okay." Duke patted the chicken on the head, "Play with Ji Yulu for a while, and I'll pick you up in half an hour."
It was a rare visit, and he planned to cast spells on all the Yulu on the farm.
Then he followed the knight guards and trained fighting qi martial arts for a while. After "Holy Light Sword Technique", "Duqi Armor" and "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Spear", he practiced another auxiliary fighting qi martial arts "Gammaite Shield".
This martial skill is not practiced with a shield.
Instead, condense the fighting energy in front of the body, and achieve the resonance of the fighting energy outside the body through the use of hands, or hands and feet together, forming a defensive wall of fighting energy similar to a shield.
This was created by a 3-ring senior Eudemons knight named Gamma Te.
Like "Battle Qi Armor", Duke can cheat through Xiaoyi and directly condense the Gammaite Shield.
Hands upright in parallel in front of him, Xiaoyi quickly cooperated to stimulate fighting spirit, and the resonance was established instantly, condensing an irregular Gammaite shield.
Wait for Duke to change his posture and cross his hands into a cross, and the Gammat Shield can also change its position, shape and size accordingly.
When he raised his right leg, his right hand made the same defensive posture, so that a resonance was formed between the hand and the leg, and the Gammat shield could change again.
"My lord's talent in knights is unparalleled!" Grand Knight Affleck praised, ""Gammato Shield" is a martial art with great difficulty. I once spent a year practicing it, but ended in failure."
Tiyaxi followed and praised: "Yes, it is said that this martial skill must break through and become a Phantom Beast Knight before it can be successfully performed with the cooperation of Phantom Beasts."
"The difficulty is indeed not small, and it took me a long time to comprehend the meaning of it." Duke said indifferently.
With Xiaoyi's intelligent assistance, this is much better than Eudemons' cooperation, and the mere "Gammart Shield" is indeed no problem.
If he wanted, Duke could have Xiao Yi create a similar combat skill.
Of course, there is no need for this.
Xiaoyi’s power must be used wisely to help him meditate, build arcane wonders, and improve a ring of sand eagles...
Signed the big knights to continue training, and Duke also continued to cooperate with Xiaoyi to display the "Gammart Shield".
This martial art of fighting qi is more suitable for unarmed use, and has a huge advantage in fighting, but the posture when performing the moves is a bit weird.
It always gives him a feeling that he is a blind monk in LOL.
Raising hands and legs, the moves are similar to fighting.
"The training went well, which also means that in addition to the "Battle Qi Armor" and the arcane shield, I have successfully stacked another layer of armor."
If it weren't for the fact that "Gammart's Shield" can stack armor, Duke didn't need to practice at all.
Compared to arcane arts, grudge martial arts are too weak.
Duke just loves stacking armor, especially when he saw the crypt army ants invade the farm that day, when the group performed the mud armor technique, they resonated with each other and stacked armor, from the weakest 3-ring spirit beast, the absolute defense that can't be broken by arcane magic.
The kind of shock made him unforgettable for a long time.
So his usual practice direction is not to practice powerful arcane arts and pursue great lethality, but to constantly stack armor.
Only by stacking the thickest armor can you resist the most vicious beating.
By the time the sun was setting to the west, Duke had finished his training, and greeted Vivienne who was still sweating: "End training, Vivienne, I'm going home from get off work, you come with me."
Vivienne was not pretentious, and immediately disbanded the Guarding Cavaliers.
Then go to the rest room of the farm to take a simple shower, change clothes, and then sit on the shuttle with Duke and drive to the mage tower.
After picking up Mu Lali, he quickly returned to Villa 17 in Beverly Manor.
After arriving at home, Duke told people not to disturb him directly, and then entered the studio to start repairing the arcane cards.
This is his collaboration with Zina.
Mulali went to practice on the big terrace. She took some family secret medicine to open her spiritual sea naturally, but as long as she opened her spiritual sea naturally, she would have a certain chance of being promoted to an arcanist—even among the spiritual apprentices who took drugs, there were great arcanist births.
While she was practicing, Vivian also came to the big terrace, hugging her contract partner, the black-spotted serval cat Mimi, and practicing the blood refining method.
Do not disturb each other.
But soon Mu Lali lost her patience in cultivation, and looked at Vivienne with a smile: "Sister, you have been training too hard recently, look, your skin color is almost tanned, sir, you like fair and beautiful skin."
Vivienne opened her eyes, glanced at Mu Lali, did not speak, and continued the blood training.
Mulali kept talking: "Have you ever seen Ms. Kiria Nutao? She is extremely beautiful, with fair and delicate skin, tall and plump figure, and she speaks very elegantly. Even my husband can't help but secretly look at her."
Vivian couldn't help but frowned: "What does it have to do with me?"
"What do you think it matters? With our two identities, can we expect too much? Mister is a genius Arcane Master!" Mu Lali quietly leaned over and hugged Vivienne while talking, "My sister is also plump and beautiful, but her skin has turned darker."
Vivienne couldn't help pushing Mu Lali's hand away: "I am the captain of the knight guarding the lord, and protecting the safety of the lord is my only belief!"
She said word by word: "I'm still very weak now, and only by working hard can I become a qualified guard knight captain!"
Then gently pushed Mu Lali away: "Don't disturb my training."
Looking at Vivian who closed her eyes again and embraced Mimi's blood, Mu Lali pouted her lips involuntarily: "Sister is really boring."
Then he returned to his practice chair muttering: "Mr. appreciates your hard work, so show him your hard work every day!"
Mulali is not a simple sixteen-year-old girl.
Being born in an aristocratic family made her more sensitive and human than ordinary people. She could tell that what Duke admired most was not his appearance, but his personality.
If you can only be a vase by Duke's side, you can't get into Duke's eyes at all.
So if you want to get Duke's attention, you have to roll and perform better than others, so that you can be recognized.
"You like to show hard work, and I show more hard work than you!" Mu Lali 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 cared about the rivalry of those around him.
He is no longer a stunned young man who will be fooled by beauty. For the people around him, beauty certainly makes him happy, but whether he can do it is the key point.
At this stage, he has too many things to keep busy.
By the end of May, the factory building of the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company had been completed and the assembly line had been set up, ready to mass-produce portable lights.
The newspapers also published advertisements for the Giant of Light, and the Giant of Light even spent money to invite a few well-known singers to sing in the square in the outer city of Shenjiao City to promote their products.
A lot of money was spent, and a lot of orders were naturally received.
Especially the mining group under the Nutao family purchased a large quantity of headlights and miner's lamps from the Giant of Light at one time.
Directly took half a month's production of the Giant of Light.
This is also equivalent to a heavyweight advertisement. The status of the Nutao family in Heijiaohe is unparalleled.
"Mr. Duke, your two sales promotions are better than all the marketing methods of the Propaganda Department." General Manager Vuillard sincerely praised.
"I can only let the Giant of Light get on the right track in Heijiaohe." Duke shook his head, "Sales in other places need your hard work. Also, beware of Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory. Once they produce portable lights, they should immediately report to Boxue Tower."
"Understood, I have already 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 in the Boiling Water Mercenary Corps and waited to die, but after joining the Giant of Light, he quickly exploded his own energy. The key to managing the Giant of Light in an orderly manner is to be willing to listen to Duke and not to make up your own mind casually.
With Vivienne's relationship, he is very relieved of Vuillard.
"By the way, the Giant of Light still doesn't have a promotional slogan so far. I think it's a pity. There must be a slogan to reflect the great vision and corporate culture of the Giant of Light." Duke's inspiration flashed.
"Please, sir, give the giant of light a promotional slogan."
"Then use—Giant of Light, Light up the way home for millions—as the company's promotional slogan." Duke said.
So this promotional slogan quickly appeared on the product packaging of the Giant of Light.
June has just arrived, and the commissioning of the production line of the Giant of Light has been completed. The first batch of portable lamps, headlamps, miner's lamps and other products have passed the inspection and are packed into special packaging boxes.
Ship out according to the order of the 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 house, holding a portable lamp in her hand to illuminate the darkness ahead.
A line of large characters, shining in the darkness: "The giant of light, illuminate the way home for thousands of people."
The slide card quickly switched to the next picture, a man wearing a headlamp, walking on a path in the dark, with his lighted home in front of him.
There are also big characters shining in the darkness: "The giant of light, illuminate the way home for thousands of people."
The third picture following it is the product introduction, contact information and ordering information of the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company.
Giant of Light does not retail directly.
But when the advertisement is out, ordinary people will naturally go to the spirit tool store to inquire, and then the spirit tool store will come to the giant of light to buy.
Shuttle through the streets and alleys of the city.
Duke looked through the car window at the advertisement on the tram platform on the street, feeling a little familiar from the earth.
But overall, the strangeness is still huge.
"The absence of the film and television industry and the absence of the Internet make the Seven Towers Federation feel a lot less." He pondered silently, "There has been some progress in the research on the slide card, but it is not yet time to register a patent. Let's talk about development first."
The stride is too big and it is easy to tear the egg.
Not only does Duke's business need to grow bigger and bigger, but its own strength must also become stronger and stronger in order to keep the basic market.
"Sir, the advertising slogan is really well written." Mu Lali said, "When I was a child, I slipped out to play in the street. When it was dark, I was most afraid of the small road from the town to the manor. There were no street lights, and it was pitch black. I was so scared to death. If I had a portable light, I wouldn't be afraid."
"Which small road, I remember the small roads around Black Snake Manor, are there street lights?" Duke asked.
The map information recorded by Xiaoyi includes all the paths that Duke walked and 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. 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 installed on the small road."
"Street lights and portable lights don't conflict..." Duke smiled.
Unknowingly, the shuttle had already traveled to another rail train platform, and the slide card advertising space on this platform was also bought by the Giant of Light.
The pictures on the slide card are several brand new promotional pictures.
A mercenary regiment camped, with dozens of beams of light from portable lights, illuminating the spirit beasts invading the camp like daytime; a cave exploration team, relying on the light source of headlights, walked freely in the passage, as if they had arrived at their own home.
Within ten days, most of the tram platforms in Shenjiao City will be occupied by the advertisements of the Giant of Light.
For this reason, the giant of light spent nearly 200 gold dragons in publicity fees.
In addition to advertising in newspapers, inviting singers to sing for publicity, and distributing leaflets on the street, just for publicity alone, there will be a cost of more than 500 gold dragons.
But the publicity effect is worth so much effort.
"Mr. Duke, good news. There are already more than 50 spirit tool stores, and they have sent people to the company to inquire about lamps and lanterns. Many of them have placed orders. There are also several large mercenary groups who have also sent people to consult and purchase."
Vial came to visit Beverly Manor after dinner, and personally reported to Duke the sales results of the Giant of Light.
"This is just the beginning." Duke said indifferently, "The factory must ensure the stability of production capacity, expand production capacity as soon as possible after the funds are returned, and promote and market the company's products to the entire Fengxi territory as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir!" Vuillard was full of energy.
He just nodded with his daughter Vivienne, then left the villa, he had to go back to the company to work overtime, and now the Giant of Light's factory has three shifts, working overtime to produce lamps.
"Contact your father more often later, and persuade him not to work so hard." Duke held Vivian's hand and said.
Vivienne is used to this kind of intimacy, and she let Duke hold her hand, and responded: "Father is working harder than before, but he is in a good state of mind. He can find his own value. I have no reason to dissuade him."
"The company is still too short of people. Go back and continue to face the society, recruit a few deputy managers, and share the work for your father."
Duke didn't want to check and balance Vuillard. As an arcanist, no one in the company would dare to fool him.
He really wanted to lighten the burden on Vuillard. As an ordinary person, Vuillard couldn't bear to work like this all night long.
For the next month, Duke will be paying attention to the situation of the Giant of Light.
Since the product was officially launched on June 1, it has become the most popular company in Shenjiao City this month due to its large-scale publicity.
Maybe there are not thousands of households buying lamps, but there are definitely thousands of households who have heard of the Giant of Light brand, as well as the names of lamps such as portable lamps and headlamps.
A spirit weapon store in the outer city.
Tom walked into the store with a spirit dragon card in his arms, and he was going to buy a spirit wind lamp, because his wife's work was adjusted from day shift to night shift during this period, and he had to ride a bicycle to pick up his wife every night, and had to walk a dark road.
Without a spiritual wind lamp to illuminate the road, I always feel uneasy.
"Boss, where is the spirit lamp?" Tom asked.
"Buy a spiritual lamp, it's in the middle of the first row of shelves, you can find it yourself." The boss was holding a novel, reading it with relish, without the idea of getting up.
Tom went to the first row of shelves to look for it as the boss said.
Suddenly, his eyes caught a new poster on the wall. On the poster, the husband was walking on the dark road holding a portable lamp.
At the end of the road is a home with lights on, and a wife standing at the door.
There is also a line of big characters on it: "The giant of light, light up the way home for thousands of people."
The following are portable lamps, headlamps, table lamps and other lamps produced by Giant of Light, each with a specific purpose.
"Huh." Tom was attracted by the advertisement, "Boss, what is this giant of light? Is it a spirit lamp? Why is it different?"
"That's a lamp produced by a new company. It's similar to the Lingfeng lamp, but it's a little more shaped." The boss is perfunctory. Opening a store is not his original intention. He is his favorite novel.
The public card is a spirit storage card tied with a rope.
Tom found the portable light printed on the poster, and found that this small and exquisite portable light looked very beautiful, and there was no card interface at all.
"Where do you insert it, boss?"
"What did you take?"
"This." Tom raised the portable lamp in his hand and shook it.
"Oh, that's a small portable light. You don't need to insert a card. You press the switch and it turns on." The boss glanced up and continued to read.
Tom scratched his face, feeling confused: "No need to insert a card? If you don't insert a card, what kind of psionic energy does it use? It automatically absorbs psionic energy. Is it so powerful?"
Carefully press the switch, and suddenly a bright beam of light shines through.
Tom took the portable lamp and shone it around. The more he played with it, the more he felt that this thing was good. Not to mention the bright light, it can illuminate any place according to his own ideas.
Immediately, he asked the boss excitedly: "How much is the portable lamp?"
"25 silver dragons."
"What!" Tom was stunned, "25 silver dragons, boss, why don't you grab them? A portable lamp only costs dozens of copper dragons. Although this portable lamp is beautiful, it's not so expensive, right? What's the difference from stealing 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 bendable spiritual storage card into it. Just think about how much a spiritual storage card costs!"
"Ah, with such a thin handle, can you still hold a spirit card?" Tom didn't believe it.
The boss rolled his eyes: "You don't know about the bendable spirit card. You really want to buy a portable lamp. Look at this, it's cheap, 45 copper dragons."
He took a much thicker portable lamp from the shelf. Compared with the exquisite portable lamp in his hand, the workmanship was rough and the shape was ugly.
Insert the male card into the card machine interface of the portable lamp, and then press the switch to shoot out a bright beam of light: "What about this, it can be inserted into the card, it is no different from the spirit lamp, the price is also cheap, it is very heavy in the hand, and it has self-defense function. If you hit your head all at once, you really can't get up."
"This one is good, maybe it's cheaper?" Tom was very satisfied with this card-mounted portable light.
Ugly is a bit ugly, but it has a lot of weight.
The previous 25 silver dragon portable lamp is indeed very beautiful, but it is beautiful but not a meal, and the most important thing is that it is cheap.
"It's not cheap. This is a new product. It's even better than the Spiritual Wind Lamp. It's cheaper than the Spiritual Wind Lamp. You can't even pay for a copper dragon." The boss waved his hands again and again.
"Then I want it, oh yes, this is a desk lamp, right? Is it used on the table?" Tom glanced at the desk lamp aside again.
"Yes, this is very useful. I keep one for myself and give it to my children. They use it when they do their homework. It saves energy and keeps the light on, which is good for children's eyes."
"How much is it?" Tom thought of his daughter, who was in school and had to write late homework every night.
Lighting a fixed lamp is not to mention Fei Lingneng, the key is that the brightness is not good, and it is easy to hurt the eyes.
If there is a lamp, it will definitely be better.
"65 Bronze Dragons, no bargaining."
Tom gritted his teeth: "Two together, boss, do the math!"
Looking for tickets~
