Next is the ordinary traditional business, Magic Artifact Coarse Embryo.
Daggers, bows, knives, swords... the types of weapon embryos are different, and the prices naturally vary, ranging from 100 to 120 Magic Coins.
These days, under the blacksmiths' overti for internal competition of daily tasks, they've made only 100 pieces.
The main focus wasn't here.
At this ti.
Zhang Huaping began working again, packing dozens of large boxes, and each ti she took one away, she would return with the paynt for that box.
Jiucai Rong was beside, recording each transaction.
Ning Zheng glanced sideways and thought to herself:
"100 Magic Artifact Coarse Embryos, each with an average selling price of 110 Magic Coins, today's earnings just reached eleven thousand Magic Coins."
Making money is really easy.
As for the cost involved?
Normally, a piece with an average selling price of 110 earns an average of only 30 Magic Coins.
This includes equipnt for mining cavities, various large magical artifacts in blacksmithing shops, costs of slting furnaces and forging furnaces, daily Spirit Furnace magic coin charging... and the labor costs of the blacksmiths.
But that's the Demon Man's way of calculating.
Ning Zheng got their heavily purchased equipnt for free, almost no equipnt cost!
And these devices can be used for another decade without damage, only needing a new purchase then, restoring the profit rate to normal levels.
The hidden assets he inherited are actually nurous!
Therefore, currently, he profits 100 Magic Coins for each Magic Artifact Coarse Embryo.
Of course, the Money Child's split flesh tank has been heavily worn over more than a decade, and a new High Tier Money Child needs to be purchased soon.
He considered this another huge cost expenditure for the Manor.
So Ning Zheng said, why didn't they replenish the at tank before they died.
Soon.
Zhang Huaping carried back and forth with the boxes, finishing the delivery.
She opened the next transaction, pulled out an accounting book, wiped sweat, "This is the forging equipnt purchasing directory you requested, if there are any additional needs, please proceed with procurent."
As her words fell, Jiucai Rong and others imdiately started reviewing.
While Zhang Huaping quietly leaned against the wall to rest, waiting for their purchasing intentions.
Seeing the other party idle, Su Yuniang politely said:
"The blacksmith shop involves Manor's core forging secrets, dormitories involve personal privacy, but other Manor buildings are very welco for a visit."
Obviously, they were prepared in advance.
Zhang Huaping was a bit taken aback, nodded.
At this ti, all the blacksmiths disappeared, ordered back to their positions, or went hiding in pits, to avoid causing trouble.
Currently, there's no one walking inside the Manor.
Zhang Huaping, being knowledgeable about human nature, would at least pretend to tour respectfully when soone invites her, to keep face.
Thinking this, she directly entered an open doorway of a conspicuous high tower.
Saw several Money Lolitas, Human Race girls crafting various beautiful ornants, the ambiance very harmonious.
"This hairpin needs to be crafted like this."
"This tassel looks so beautiful."
"Sister, you are truly amazing."
She just glanced at the lively and cute Hairpin Lady a few tis, walked out the door, entered another high tower.
It's the sewing area, seeing a group of Lolitas sewing beautifully ancient-style clothes, indulged in a similar discussion.
The entire Manor, the atmosphere is quite harmonious!
Such thoughts erged in Zhang Huaping's mind.
Instantly, her affections for these pitiful blacksmiths and Hairpin Lady rose a few degrees.
Perhaps, the Manor is not as scary as it's rumored outside?
This is also what Jiucai Rong wanted her to see.
Make everyone pretend to be normal, smile normally, walk normally.
And most of these Lolitas are pretty serious life players, just making various beautiful ornants and clothes.
Plus, there were earlier instructions to present to outsiders completely normal.
Just then, Zhang Huaping suddenly felt soone pulling her from behind.
"Dizzy" secretly pulled the person, spoke in horror, "Don't be fooled by their seriousness in this Manor; in reality... there are major issues."
He finally found an opportunity, "Can you save out of here?"
"Dizzy" has been living in fear these days, feeling like walking on thin ice.
Especially those people, incredibly, wrote graffiti positions of the Solar System, Galaxy on the wall, saying "Welco Five-Body People arrival..."
This scared him into trembling!
Hurriedly, he secretly cleaned it up overnight while they were asleep.
He's truly exhausted from wiping up the ss!
"Save you out? That's impossible."
Zhang Huaping is not a kind-hearted fool, wouldn't care about unrelated matters.
Moreover.
She saw at a glance "Dizzy" already dead.
It's just he thought he wasn't dead yet, still fearful, struggling, believing he could escape the Manor.
Really a pitiful child, holding onto the obsession from life.
"Dizzy" silently showed a pleading look.
"Leave quickly, or I'll have to tell them!" Zhang Huaping's face turned cold.
"Dizzy" could only leave silently, his desolate back made Zhang Huaping sigh.
Suddenly, her good mood vanished.
Perhaps this Manor seems normal, but secretly extrely terrifying, after all, most Ghost Domains appear lively on the surface but have surging undercurrents beneath.
No longer interested in exploring, she quietly turned back.
...
On the other side.
The warehouse was in a state of chaos.
A group of vagrants hid here, waiting for the rchants to leave.
"This reminds of when the leadership would inspect us, the team leader had us hide in the warehouse to play cards, afraid we'd embarrass ourselves if we went outside."
"Does every leader in the world act the sa?"
"Sa here, to avoid the big boss asking us questions we can't answer, or us accidentally exposing the small boss's various corrupt actions."
"Let's just stay put and keep it cool."
With nothing to do, everyone started playing cards, gambling with Magic Coins, smoking, and drinking mushroom wine.
As they gradually drank more, they started putting their arms around each other's shoulders and bragging.
But when certain people drank too much, they tended to act wildly, like this player nad Shao Chaikun.
His thoughts drifted off, reminiscing about the love stories of Su Yuniang, Dizzy, and dical Fairy, envying them, and his imagination went wild:
"I wonder if after dying next ti, I'll be able to switch genders upon login, then date another version of myself at the manor? Food God, what do you think?"
Of course, I looked stunned.
At this mont, Food God was also shocked by this person's imagination.
Who would've thought his sous-chef was so extraordinary?
To save face and maintain his leadership position as the head chef, Food God took a drag of his cigarette and said profoundly:
"Co to think of it, it makes so sense, Embers are essentially NPCs, embedded with advanced AI intelligence in the ga."
"Isn't this like marrying yourself, essentially marrying an NPC in the ga, isn't that right?"
"Could it be that changing our gender upon login will lead us to discover a new land, an NPC couple system beyond the pet system?"
The players nearby were also taken aback; the topic between the two was quite explosive.
Sa-gender resurrection is the pet system...
Opposite-gender resurrection is the couple system...
Who says the Human Race has no Great Emperor?
The nearby Shrimp Catcher felt out of place with these two chefs but, as a fertilizer partner, forced himself into the conversation:
"Makes sense! After all, in other gas with couple systems, you never know if you're marrying a cross-dressing big-shot with a voice changer; it's better if you know yourself well... This is actually a Pure Love Manor."
"Exactly, exactly."
Shao Chaikun passionately mocked, saying, "After all, self-love is pure love! What's wrong with loving yourself? This aligns well with the Sword Casting Manor's philosophy, but still, is it self-greening or pure love? Is it the Tauren or the Pure Love War God, I can't quite tell."
At this mont.
Footsteps suddenly ca from outside, but they didn't hear and continued their ecstatic discussions, getting more excited as they spoke.
"It's a philosophical question," added Food God.
Shrimp Catcher quickly chid in: "Right, right, there's a famous saying like that, a person must love themselves, if soone doesn't love themselves, what right do they have to love others?"
He exhaled a puff of muddy Qi, his weary eyes revealing a depth of nostalgia:
"Now everyone can try it first, fall in love with your own Embers, have a child, this might even expand into a baby system, at least the child is your own."
"Especially you, Dizzy, you can give it a try."
Shh.
Everyone looked at a certain person.
Dizzy, seeing everyone's gaze, opened his mouth in shock, and could only respond with bravado: "I, I... feel, like it might not be impossible?"
???
These guys were getting more criminal!
dical Fairy watched them having grand discussions, pointing out directions, and imdiately felt that even if these Fourth Calamities couldn't fight, they were just as impressive as the Ghost when showing off!
How could you drive such a broken car down this road?
If the Ghost ca to our manor and eavesdropped from the corner, they'd be so scared they'd run away with a bucket overnight!
But she sighed, feeling utterly speechless.
She also knew that these perverted old drivers bragged to each other, mostly just bluster and bravado.
What nonsense, like Qian coming and having to bear three children, or conquering Lady Bai and Qing, but really being as cowardly as anything.
Only their mouths were tough!
Like saying all kinds of fancy words but not daring to co to the clinic and confess to us sisters, it's just going to the operating table after all.
Five ters outside.
Zhang Huaping, just passing by, had a drastic change in her expression.
She swore she really didn't an to overhear!
She understood better than anyone about protecting herself, and had prepared to plead for her life before coming, but now, just passing by, she accidentally heard the latter half...
Especially hearing the voice that sounded like Dizzy, saying he was planning to be with his own Embers...
Thinking about how "Dizzy" just pitifully sought her help.
This plot... could it be!
No wonder asking for her help...
So terrifying!
She heard that so perverted cultivators of the Demon Path encountered a historical problem when studying Embers: can one produce double Embers after dying?
But how could soone die twice in a row?
This led to innovation.
Let soone die, creating Embers.
Then inject a new soul into the deceased body, die again, and perhaps there'd be two Embers, many are testing this theory.
Here, it might be the sa.
The dead Embers, along with the new soul injected into the body... turned out to be that batch of Money Child, she had guessed correctly before.
But they were more twisted.
Possess soone's corpse and fall in love with their Embers?
Have a child with yourself?
Now she finally understood why Dizzy's Embers was so terrified, rather than wanting to start being afraid only after dying.
How could he not be scared? How could he possibly not be?
She shivered, her mind suddenly felt like a blank slate: the Ghost ca to this manor, and would cry, pregnant, and run away!
