98: Mr. Bai is here again
After listening to Han Xin's introduction, Han Huohuo had a clear idea.
Three-Turn is already the limit for native Heroes in this world. Three-Turn Heroes can live up to three hundred years, which is considered long-lived.
Native Heroes have never reached Five-Rotation.
The experience points needed later are too many, making it impossible to reach Five-Rotation. Even Four-Turn Heroes have not been heard of. However, these foreign Lords, with the support of the system, have the possibility of breaking through to Five-Rotation.
Han Huohuo pondered.
In another ten years, perhaps, this world will undergo a great change, and the surviving Crossing the Lord will likely become the rulers of this world.
Five-Rotation Lords have extremely long lifespans, but due to the corruption of the crystal, these Lords will die quickly once they complete Five-Rotation. Then, after these Lords die, they enter the next new cycle.
Han Huohuo suddenly felt that upgrading so early was not necessarily a good thing, and he should take his time.
He was an optimist, and his troubles were instantly thrown to the back of his mind.
I’ll settle grievances and grudges to my heart’s content, what am I afraid of!
Of course, a Hero's strength is not necessarily how strong he is in combat, but rather the powerful combat ability that erupts when he is combined with an army.
With the Barbarian King's attribute bonus applied to the Barbarians, a first-tier Orc can kill several second-tier Griffons.
This is the power of the Hero.
Especially after a million-strong army, Heroes become crucial.
Han Huohuo was fortunate that his mechanical soldiers had naturally extremely strong attributes, which could help him reduce a lot of attribute pressure.
The crushing of the era!
These foreign Lords, as long as they learn to survive in the cracks and manage to live, with the system's blessing, will eventually have their day.
They were chatting animatedly.
Suddenly, Tulip's supervisor, Yan Yun, came to find Han Huohuo. Li Qiang led Yan Yun to the backyard. When Han Huohuo saw Yan Yun, he stood up to greet him.
“Supervisor Yan, how do you have time today? Come and have some tea together.”
“Oh, Lord, it’s not me who is looking for you, it’s Mr. Bai who is here again. I was going to pull him to see you together, but when he saw the oil wells on the river, he ran over by himself.....”
Han Huohuo was stunned. Mr. Bai was a distinguished guest.
He didn't even drink tea anymore.
“Let’s go, let’s go find Mr. Bai together.”
Han Xin, Li Qiang, and Yan Yun followed Han Huohuo to the river. They saw Mr. Bai standing on the tall arch bridge, counting the number of oil wells.
Seeing Han Huohuo approach, Mr. Bai's expression was not very good.
He was a researcher and spoke directly, so he couldn't help but ask, "Lord, didn't you tell me last time that you only had two exploration vehicles......"
He pointed his finger at the spectacular nine oil wells extracting oil in the Tongtian River, clearly very excited.
Yan Yun covered his face and hid behind. Mr. Bai was the one he introduced to the Lord. He was a little embarrassed by how much Lord Han was exaggerating.
Han Huohuo's expression didn't change. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm so happy. After so many days of not seeing you, I've missed you so much. I'm finally seeing Mr. Bai again. I'm overjoyed. To be honest, sir, I've been focusing on researching technology recently and have made new progress. Now, building an exploration vehicle is very fast."
Mr. Bai was a little confused, looking at Han Huohuo's calm demeanor, not knowing if he was telling the truth or not.
What kind of technology is this?
It broke through as soon as he said it, and he built nine at once?
Mr. Bai was a little skeptical, but he didn't know how to question it.
"If that's the case, can you sell us Mo Family a few more of these exploration vehicles at a cheaper price?"
Han Huohuo knew that business was coming again, and he was overjoyed, but he showed a worried look on his face.
"Sir, you don't understand. This new process I've improved uses a large amount of rare resources, which is why the construction period has been greatly reduced......"
Mr. Bai was stunned: "What rare resources did you use?"
Han Huohuo didn't even blink and blurted out: "50 abyss crystal, 50 radiant gem, 50 fire sea sulfur, 50 ice field mercury."
Mr. Bai took a deep breath: "It's indeed too expensive. With so many rare resources, did you only make ten exploration vehicles?"
Han Huohuo shook his head: "No, this is the price for one, not ten!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai almost flipped into the river, but luckily Yan Yun was quick-handed and helped him steady himself.
He thought to himself that he wanted to buy a few more at a cheaper price, but when he heard the exaggerated cost, he was instantly stunned.
The production speed has indeed increased, but the cost is too exaggerated?
“Come, it’s windy here, let’s go into the city and sit down!”
Han Huohuo warmly led Mr. Bai back to the city. At this time, the streets of the city were much livelier than when Mr. Bai last came.
Mr. Bai was dazzled.
They went to the largest restaurant and booked the entire second floor. At Han Huohuo's instruction, countless waiters came and stood around to serve this big customer. Big fish and meat, delicacies from the mountains and seas were all served.
Then the fine wine started flowing.
After three cups of wine, Mr. Bai's face turned red.
"Mr. Bai, do you have anything going on this time you came to Tongtian City?"
This guy was infected by Han Huohuo's enthusiasm and drank a few more cups of wine. His guard was instantly gone, and he couldn't help but complain, "To be honest, Lord, the exploration vehicle we bought from you last time is very easy to use, but it's too expensive. The higher-ups asked me to come and see if you can help build a few more, and it would be even better if the price could be a little cheaper. But after seeing your current production cost, my heart is cold. How can it be getting more expensive?"
Han Huohuo was angry: "Mr. Bai, I don't like what you're saying. What do you mean I sold it too expensive? You make it sound like I'm a crooked businessman!"
He drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, glared at Mr. Bai, and excitedly counted on his fingers: "My mining cart produces 10 barrels of black oil a day. I only sell you 1500 barrels of black oil. That is to say, you can recoup all your investment in 150 days. 150 days is less than half a year. What kind of investment can you make that will recover all the costs in half a year? How can you think I sold it too expensive? Isn't this inappropriate?"
Mr. Bai didn't understand business, but he could do arithmetic. Hearing Han Huohuo's words, he felt it made a lot of sense.
"Unfortunately, with your current production cost, I'm afraid you won't sell 1500 barrels of black oil anymore, right?"
Mr. Bai tentatively asked Han Huohuo. Han Huohuo seemed drunk and didn't answer, just kept urging him to drink.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.
Han Huohuo was also getting drunk. He slapped the table with his hand and shouted loudly, "Let's go! Today I'll show everyone the strength of Tongtian City, so that any Tom, Dick, or Harry won't question my financial resources!"
Besides Hua Mulan, Mu Jiu, and Han Xin, the people at the same table were Yan Yun and several other large merchant teams. They were overjoyed at the news.
They all cheered.
"Let's go! The Lord is generous today, let's go and see together!"
A group of people, led by Han Huohuo, rushed to the warehouse. When the guards saw the Lord personally leading the team, they quickly opened the gate.
All the oil lamps were lit, and the warehouse was brightly lit.
