Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

970 Chapter 543: Farming Development in Twilight City [2/2]

The nobles could create the Elven Music Box. Still, the design was ingenious.

The “Shining Era” didn’t have any copyright protection. What could one do if others could create it?

Butler Karu spoke with admiration.

“The sacred-blood dwarf is indeed worthy of the blood of the gods. Its knowledge is admirable.

“They came up with a few remarkable methods.

“First, they used a unique energy source to compress the elemental energy into the crystal.

“One can only use our Elven Music Box by purchasing energy from us.

“It will cause damage to the Elven Music Box if the energy source is inappropriate.

“Second, complicated magic array uses the knowledge inherited by the gods. Only the Dwarf God can understand it. It’s superbly arduous for outsiders to crack it.

“Third, the fixed upgrade of the magic array. You can upgrade it for free once every six months or a year following the description of it.

“Fourth, you mentioned that we must create the Elven Music Tape to activate the Elven Music Box.”

Richard smiled.

“What if someone bypassed the Elven Music Box and developed their exclusive music box?

“They wouldn’t be needing our methods.”

Butler Karu didn’t hesitate.

“We have discussed this in detail and concluded that this method is inevitable and difficult to ignore.

“Therefore, the best way is to occupy the market as soon as possible and make our Elven Music Box everyone needs. This way, other loyal clients couldn’t quickly abandon us because of the cost despite our competitors.

“In addition, we can also do some homework from the contents of the Elven Music Box.”

“For example, we can release a higher-quality Elven Music Tape and allow more talents to participate in the choices of songs.”

“Would a person give up our magic sound boxes if this one has hundreds of songs??”

That answer satisfied Richard.

Karu examined this matter with all his heart.

Moreover, he also keeps a broad mind. It wasn’t in vain that he had often instilled all kinds of modern ideas into Richard during this period.

“How much is a single Elven Music Box?”

Butler Karu smiled bitterly.

“Each Elven Music Box now requires 500 units of rare resources because the function design deviated from the original version.

“The Elven Music Tapes require 100 units of rare resources.”

A set of Elven Music Boxes would cost 600 units of rare resources.

Richard pondered.

“Where are the energy crystals of the Elven Music Box?

“The sacred-blood dwarves’ alchemy magic array transforms and suppresses the energy crystal. The production cost is only ten units of crystals.

“Have you discussed the price with Vale?

“Elven Music Box and Elven Magic Tapes set, one costs 1,000 units of rare resources.

“The Elven Music Box costs 500, and the Elven Music Tape costs 300 if you buy them separately. Each costs a rare resource.

“Energy crystals are 30 units each.”

Richard nodded. The price was reasonable.

This thing was different from the Black Sorbet Ice Cream. One couldn’t sell it at a low price.

There was a limit to the production capacity. It was not a consumable product. It would be too wasteful to use the method of small profits but quick turnover in the early stages of this durable product.

Right now, there was a blank market before him. What he needed was to produce the items and rob them. It was that simple.

Vale had asked around Solan City for news about it, although they hadn’t sold yet.

The Aborigines did not have much spiritual life. They had a vast demand for products such as Elven Music Boxes.

“Try your best to increase production capacity and reduce costs.

“Our competitors will multiply soon.”

Richard was calm.

“Therefore, we will suspend the sale before the daily production reaches 1,000 units.

“Also, let the sacred-blood dwarves start their research on the next version of the Elven Music Box. We need to consider innovative products.

“We also need to improve that Elven Music Box that can display images I told you last time.

“We couldn’t do these in one or two months. They require a long period of investment. The earlier we start, the earlier we can see the results.”

Richard had just obtained three extraordinary troop lairs. His desire for resources soared to a higher level.

The consumption of resources for high-level troops was too terrifying.

Losses would suck Twilight City dry if they just relied on the expansion of financial resources.

Richard couldn’t rely on the rich resource points around him to develop like other forces.

The underground world and Ell Plane had their situations.

The best way to grow was to develop products with strong competitiveness.

He had Black Sorbet, Whitetail Wine, Elven Music Box, and other resource products like Desert Crown Honey and the Desert Crown Robe as his treasured resources.

Richard tasted the sweetness. He continued to dig deeper into this area.

They chatted for a long time and discussed the future development of the Elven Music Box. They repeatedly reminded Fortress City to put the music box as the first research priority.

Richard incessantly talked about this matter and continued until the next topic.

“How’s the expansion of the raw materials for the Black Sorbet going?”

He wanted to create a fantasy world version of Coca-Cola, and the cheap and low-cost Black Sorbet had the potential to do so.

This kind of jelly food that could bring absolute coldness could be a great killing weapon in the depths of the desert.

“The number of plantation bases in the underground world has expanded to 30, and Fortress City produced 15 alchemy harvesters.”

“The Eternal Land still expanded rapidly. It was because of several uncertain factors. In addition, we still need to build an Eternal City. We have only temporarily set up an agricultural area and haven’t started sowing yet.”

Richard nodded.

“How is the efficiency of the alchemy harvester? Is it useful as planned?”

Butler Karu responded delightedly.

“It’s comparable to the work efficiency of fifty to sixty people. We have further improved it. It will get even better.”

The appearance of large machinery made harvesting and sowing extremely convenient. That had saved a vast labor. It had spared more people to complete other tasks.

Richard nodded. He felt much better.

He no longer asked questions. Butler Karu organized his words and spoke slowly.

“The white-tailed cats have just developed a new four-stars wine with the help of the sacred-blood dwarves.
