Chapter 218: The Disc Factory

The smuggling channels of the shadow thieves were quickly opened, and Luo Feng Pai-Arcanis was in charge of the matter, and the low-priced illusion magic crystals were continuously transported to the R&D center in the bridge area for hoarding.

With Arcanis in the background, the smugglers are too honest to provide inferior magic crystals that can cause explosions.

In fact, in the original plot, Arcanis was in charge of the business of shadow thief smuggling in addition to killing, and Chanem was able to kill Arcanis by sneaking up on him while he was inspecting smuggled goods at the docks, so that the king of the generation of assassins hated the plot killing.

Although Arcanes was killed by Chanem in the original plot, this does not mean that he is not strong, if Chanem takes another plot line and accepts the task of Renore's bloody head but backtracks against the Shadow Thieves Guild, Arcanes' horror is reflected.

Whether Chanem is the son of Baal or the protagonist of the plot, even if the level is upgraded to legendary, with the best equipment, with a group of powerful teammates in the legendary realm, and countless shields, Arcanis only needs to kill Chanem with one sword!

Even if Chanem put on the ultimate barrier technique and was immune to all attacks, he would only be able to hold up a few more rounds, and when the magic duration was over, he would still be killed with one sword!

When the Shadow Thief Patronus is guarding a person, the combat power that bursts out is so terrifying.

The illusion crystals of Ilmins Charterno have also arrived, and they have also been transported from the small dock on the second basement floor of the R&D center and stockpiled.

At this time, there is an abundant reserve of magic crystal materials for the manufacture of the "Light and Shadow Magic Box" and the "Phantom Magic Disk", and the metal materials for the manufacture of the shell and the mechanical structure inside are not contraband at all in Ascatra City, and the Wojin Market City is full of ore merchants and metal ingot merchants, who can be purchased in large quantities at any time.

After the raw material problem was solved, Yao En's finalized "Light and Shadow Box Collector's Edition" also completed the full development progress, finding the perfect balance between manufacturing costs and projection effects.

After the trial, Luo Feng and the members of the team agreed that the viewing effect of the projection version could reach 80% of the live version.

The troupe will earn a lot of gold coins every day, in addition to ticket revenue, movie bar income, advertising revenue, troupe star endorsement product income, advertising revenue in the play, and many incomes have increased the number of funds on the team's public account, plus the threat of the Shadow Thieves Guild has gone, the bodyguard group of troupe members began to lay off staff, only retaining half of the previous number, and the salary and salary expenses of the troupe have dropped significantly, and the poor financial situation caused by the previous research and development has been reversed.

With the gold coins in his pocket, Luo Feng asked Yao En to contact the Dwarf Craftsman Association and hire dwarf workers with high salaries.

With 14% of the population made up of gnomes and halflings, these dwarfs may not have much strength, but they are clever enough to be the best candidates for workers in the manufacturing industry.

The handicraft industry in Ascatra City is gradually rising, but it is not yet developed, and there are several factories in the city, such as blacksmith workshops, leather smiths' workshops, alchemy workshops, etc., but it is a pity that the leather craftsmen's workshop is actually a human skinning crime den with a sheep's head and dog meat.

The city of Askatla, located in the middle of the Sea of Swords, relied mainly on entrepot trade to earn large sums of gold from merchants.

The entrepot trade is rich in profits, but it is mostly monopolized by the aristocracy, and obtaining customs clearance approval is not a privilege that ordinary merchants can touch, so the merchants also try to open up new ways to make money, and turn their attention to the handicraft industry, with the help of the convenient geographical location of Acheng and the low price of raw materials, open factories for primary processing of incoming materials.

In this city, ordinary citizens want to eat a living, and there are not many types of occupations they can choose.

If you are miserable, there are three ways to choose: one is to be a shadow thief, the second is to be a beggar, and the third is to stand on the street.

These three professions are one and the same in the city of Ascatla, and they can be seen everywhere you go.

Those who mix a little better can become hawkers, seafarers in the port area, salesmen in the market area, heralds with loud voices, usherents in taverns with their hands and feet, and farmers in the land of lords and nobles.

The last step is to enter the workshop and become a craftsman worker.

Halflings and gnomes are quite eloquent, so they can find jobs such as "heralds", "salesmen", and "port registrars" in Ascatra by mouth, but after the harvest festival, the city's merchants leave before the onset of winter, the volume of trade plummets, and the workshops are also in a state of semi-shutdown, and many gnomes and halflings are frequently unemployed.

Yao En's job posting was quickly met with an enthusiastic response from his fellow dwarfs, who remembered that a few days ago, the troupe's high-paid bodyguards made a windfall for many adventurers.

Soon the 40 workers needed on the job posting were filled, and Yao En returned to the R&D center with a large group of dwarfs and began to completely renovate the three-story building, transforming it into a "light and shadow magic box" factory.

Luo Feng deliberately asked Yao En to only recruit dwarfs, the reason is actually simple, this group of dwarves does not deal with the city hall, and they are not afraid that they will know that the factory is engaged in the research and manufacture of illegal magic props and run to inform.

Gnomes never pay taxes!

If they run to the city hall, they will be held down by the guards as soon as they appear at the gate, and they will be put into prison and beaten severely, and they will pay off the tens of thousands of gold coins owed by their ancestors and grandchildren before anything else.

After the renovation of the R&D center, the second basement floor was originally a dormitory, but now it has been converted into an assembly workshop, where ten dwarf workers are responsible for the assembly work. On the third basement floor is the warehouse area and the processing area, and under Yao En's command, thirty dwarf workers are responsible for making parts for the Light and Shadow Magic Box.

As for the core part of the Etched Crystal Disc and the Arcane Lock Transcoding Device, Yao En is solely responsible for the manufacture, which is a key technology and needs to be kept strictly secret.

The personnel were complete, the material hoarding was completed, the factory began trial production, and soon the first mass production version of the "Light and Shadow Magic Box Collector's Edition" went off the assembly line, and after testing the performance reached the standard, it could be packaged and marketed.

Luo Feng didn't rush to sell them, he picked out two sets and packed them, and gave each "Light and Shadow Magic Box" two discs of "Titanic" and "Unfinished Love", so that the businessman sent by Ilminster to deliver the magic crystal to the old sage on his return trip can be regarded as repaying his favor.

The "Magic Box of Light and Shadow" was produced one by one, hoarded in the factory warehouse, and the video discs began to be copied in large quantities, and Luo Feng planned to find an opportunity to introduce these two products to the merchants in the city of Askatra.

It's just that he hasn't found the right time for the time being.

After the assassination, he didn't show up in front of the public for a few days because he had to practice walking in gold bubble pants without getting stuck in his crotch, and when he was finally able to walk in iron pants and walk in a normal posture, he was surrounded by a large group of nobles at first sight.

These aristocrats all came to the door with money bags to ask for works of art, and even Luo Feng's old friend Quartarius also came.

In addition to the aristocracy, many priests also came to the temple area, and wanted the great artist Bredlow to paint and statue their gods as well, so as to show their divine might.

Luo Feng thought about it, simply accepted it, and began the golden period of his personal creation, which he called "the turbulent year of art prosperity" in the history of Ferren.
