Chapter 481 Tang Wulin's Idea
Although Shrek Academy asked Tiandou City not to publicize his rescue incident, Mo Wu still gave Tang Wulin the title of Honorary Citizen of Tiandou City. With a badge matching this title, Tang Wulin can get a 20% discount on all purchases in Tiandou City, including at auctions.
This is the highest honor in Tiandou City. It can only be held by those who have made outstanding contributions to the city, and it cannot be hereditary.
As the city lord, Mo Wu didn't have this either, but this time he applied for two, one for Tang Wulin and the other for his daughter. This is what they deserve.
"Uncle Liu, the black-level mecha is so compact inside, won't it be difficult for you to operate it?" Tang Wulin looked at everything inside the mecha curiously.
The control of the soul guide mecha is actually the fusion of the whole person and the mecha. The mecha master is fixed in a human-shaped groove in the center of the mecha, that is, at the chest. This humanoid groove is made of special materials and connects all parts of the mecha.
When controlling a mecha, in addition to some functions that require manual control and mental control, the most important thing is to rely on the mecha master's own movements. Whatever actions the mecha master makes inside the mecha, the mecha will follow suit.
So, the physical requirements of a mecha master are very high. Of course, in non-combat conditions, the mecha can also be made to act according to the program. The more high-end the mecha, the lower the degree of program control and the higher the degree of self-control. Because only in this way can the mecha carry out more complex attacks.
Liu An briefly told Tang Wulin some of the characteristics of his black mecha. Liu An cherishes his mecha very much.
Black-level mechas are already very top-notch among soul-guiding mechas. In the Federation, the number of black-level mecha masters is very limited because the resources required to build a black-level mecha are too huge. .
At the same time, the federation only provides core arrays to black-level mechas. Specific materials need to be provided by the mecha masters themselves. But this mecha is owned by the mecha master. As long as it has served for a certain number of years, the mecha master can take away his meritorious mecha in the future.
The same is true for purple-level mechas. Therefore, for high-level mecha masters, mechas are their second life.
To become a high-level mecha master, you not only need to be strong enough, but you also need to have money. Either his family has a strong foundation, or it comes from his own salary, bonuses, or some external sponsorship.
This involves many complex issues. To put it simply, except for the soul guidance array, every piece of metal in this mecha was bought by Liu An himself.
“Hey, so, our mecha masters look great, but the higher the level, the harder it is to live this life! We must constantly work hard to improve ourselves, and the mecha masters in various systems Only by getting ranked in the competition and earning bonuses can we afford our own mechas. The federal regulations for our senior mecha masters are really inhumane, forcing us to work hard and not dare to slack off at all. That’s it, the black-level mecha has basically taken shape. My goal is to replace all the mecha components with spiritual forging levels in the future. I estimate that I will be able to do this in my lifetime.”
Tang Wulin suddenly said: "It turns out that it is so difficult to become a mecha master!"
Liu An sighed and said: "So, to make iron, you have to be tough. The entry threshold for mecha masters is relatively high. As long as your physical condition is good and you train for a long time, it is possible to become a mecha master. But if you want to go up, every step is a ladder, so everyone cherishes it."
Tang Wulin's heart moved and he said: "Uncle Liu, do you mecha masters usually buy rare metals directly from our blacksmith association?"
Liu An nodded, "Yes! We usually publish the task, then pay and receive the goods. It is relatively simple, and the fees charged by the Blacksmith Association are quite reasonable. But when you reach the level of spiritual training and above, you are really a monk. More meat but less. There are very few blacksmiths above level 5, and the demand for spiritual forging metal is very high. Even if we have enough money, the probability of failure of spiritual forging will not allow the blacksmiths to accept the task. We are very cautious when issuing tasks. This has caused the spiritual forging metal to become increasingly rare and in short supply."
Tang Wulin said: "It turns out. That's it." From Liu An, he learned about the current market for spiritual forging metals, and compared with spiritual forging metals, spiritual metals are even scarcer. After all, this can only be made by a sixth-level blacksmith. Even if it is only a thousand-forged spirit, it can be upgraded to a spiritual forged one in the future, and it can also incorporate more types of alloys.
Although the mecha masters' pursuit of rare metals is not as high-quality as the doukai masters, the amount they need far exceeds that of the doukai masters. This is also a way to make money.
"Uncle Liu, I am a member of the Shrek Academy Blacksmiths Association. If you have any needs for rare metals in the future, you can contact me. Our prices may be lower, and we can Ensure delivery time," Tang Wulin said with a smile.
He didn't think about how much money he could make from Liu An, but he hoped to open up this channel. After all, if you sell directly by yourself, even if it is cheaper, you can still make more money without going through other channels, which saves channel costs.
After studying with Zhenhua this time, Tang Wulin understood more and more how much energy a high-level blacksmith consumes. Moreover, in the future, he will need a lot of resources to forge his battle armor, all of which are piled up with money.
The speed at which the seal is broken is accelerating, and the demand for spiritual objects will inevitably become more and more high-end. No matter how kind your uncle is to you, if you need something at the level of heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the future, you will definitely need it. The amount of money is astronomical. Therefore, you need to make money early!
Tang Wulin's success rate in spiritual training and melting training was already very high. In addition to practicing, it was time to start making money.
"Okay!" Sure enough, Liu An's eyes lit up after hearing his words.
The reason why Tang Wulin did not say that he forged it himself was mainly because he was too young and could not easily give others a sense of trust. But the golden sign of Shrek Academy is very useful at all times. It is a good thing to use a tiger skin as a banner.
The mecha flew extremely fast, and Liu An kept sending Tang Wulin near the outer city of Shrek City before letting him down. As a Tiandou City mecha master, he cannot cross the border into Shrek City. That's taboo.
After leaving communication numbers with each other, Liu An controlled the mecha and flew away.
On a rare occasion, Tang Wulin called a soul guide taxi and went straight to the Tang Sect Shrek City headquarters instead of returning to the academy.
He still kept the two spiritual objects. After exchanging contribution points for the spiritual objects, he returned to the academy.
Although this trip to Tiandou City was full of dangers, his gains were not small.
Tang Wulin already has a clearer development path in his mind.
He is now an honorary citizen of Tiandou City and can get a 20% discount on anything purchased in Tiandou City. Transactions in Tiandou City are conducted in federal currency. Therefore, it is more cost-effective for him to earn federal coins.
He would just exchange more forging materials with his friends, and the excess materials would be used for forging and then sold. Liu An already has this line, and he is ready to try it and save money through forging. When you need spiritual items in the future, go to Tiandou City to buy them. With the two advantages of being a master and an honorary citizen, you should be able to get what you want at a relatively low cost.
