Obtaining a Large Building (57150)

Just as Lei Pengpeng said, taking a look won't cost you anything.

So Gu Xi and Lei Pengpeng found a place to sit down and took a look at the large building that Lei Pengpeng and the others had obtained from completing the task.

At first glance, Gu Xi knew why Lei Pengpeng and the others didn't keep the large building for their own use.

If Gu Xi didn't have a city under his control, he wouldn't dare to use it himself. As long as this kind of building is built in the wild, it will definitely be a strategic location that military strategists will fight over. These three people in front of him simply cannot protect it.

[Bone Demon Lamp (Green): An oil lamp made from the skulls of Lich, Lich, Blood Mage, and Skeleton Mage. Placing this lamp in a designated location will create a Bone Magic Tower in a city or wilderness.]

[Note: A level 1 Magic Tower must be present for any building within a city, and buildings in the wild must be constructed near a level 1 magic temple.]

[Bone Magic Tower (Large): Use 1500 resources, 10 units of stone, and 10 units of wood to build a Bone Magic Tower (large building, upgradable) in the city.

Once completed, it can train 30 Skeleton Mage (level 4) per week.

If other evil temples already exist, regional synergy can be created, increasing the training speed of Skeleton units by 50%.

Alternatively, if other Magic Tower auxiliary buildings already exist, an area-wide synergy can be created, increasing the training speed of magic-type units by 50%. (Choose one of the two area-wide synergy options)

Once completed, the number of spells produced by the attached Magic Tower or magic temple increases by 1.

Skeleton units are an unavoidable unit for necromancers.

Skeleton Mage represent the pinnacle of regular Skeleton units, with the only comparable unit being the less common Skeleton Knight.

No matter who it is, if they see a training building in the wild where they can train Skeleton Mage, they won't consider whether it's owned or not; they'll all have only one thought: to take it.

Lei Pengpeng and the others understood this point, which is why they didn't build the structure in the wild like the previous player did, and make a living by training and selling Skeleton Mage every week.

Instead, they planned to sell the item.

If the price offered by the Extremely Frozen Sea hadn't been so low—probably less than 1500 Negative Energy — Lei Pengpeng wouldn't have dragged this out until now.

Seeing such a fine item, Gu Xi's eyes naturally lit up.

How much are you asking for?

"You want us to give you a quote?"

Lei Pengpeng pointed to herself, then looked at Gu Xi with some uncertainty.

"Yes, give me a price. If it's right, I'll take it. If it's not right, I'm not good at bargaining, so I won't take it."

Gu Xi also knew how talented he was at negotiating.

He wasn't unaware that some things were expensive, but he simply lacked the talent for bargaining, so he just asked the price directly.

If it satisfies him, he'll accept it; if it's too expensive, he won't haggle and will just let it go.

This actually stunned Lei Pengpeng.

If there were any haggling involved, Lei Pengpeng could talk the person to death.

But now Gu Xi is making it clear that he won't haggle with you. You name your price, and if I'm satisfied, I'll buy it directly, regardless of whether it's overpriced or not. If I'm not satisfied, I won't buy it.

This straightforward and blunt attitude made Lei Pengpeng hesitate for a moment.

Finally, she spoke up, saying, "Okay, let me say a few words. Comrade Gu, see if you agree with these terms. If you do, then we'll settle on this price. If not, then let's just consider this a friendship and let's call it a day."

"Okay, I like your straightforward personality!"

Gu Xi readily agreed to Lei Pengpeng's pricing method.

Lei Pengpeng then started calculating on her own.

"Comrade Gu, let's consider things from your perspective first. Using our Bone Demon Lamp, you can directly obtain a level 1 Bone Magic Tower, which saves on materials."

"So, asking for payment for one set of materials isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"Not excessive."

Gu Xi thought about it carefully and realized that the request was not unreasonable at all.

If he buys a Building Blueprint, he will also need to pay for that portion of the cost.

"Then this deal is settled. We've saved you time on construction, so it's not unreasonable for you to pay us this amount."

Lei Pengpeng said another sentence.

Gu Xi had used the Cabin Backpack before and knew that it could create a new building simply by putting it down, saving him the trouble of building it.

"That's not unreasonable."

"Then I'll calculate based on the current market price of Construction Stone. One Construction Stone 500 Negative Energy. If you don't believe me, you can ask around; it's the same price everywhere."

"Okay, I accept this."

Gu Xi thought about it seriously, and it really was true. Although he didn't care about the waiting time, it was already included in the calculation, so he naturally had to accept it.

Seeing that Gu Xi was so easy to talk to, Lei Pengpeng became happy.

"Then comes the most crucial part. I won't go into how much effort we put into this task; I'll just calculate it based on the market price of large-scale Building Blueprint."

A single large Building Blueprint requires at least one copy from Dragon Steel.

"Wait, how much did you say?"

Gu Xi was stunned when he heard this.

"This is the standard price for one unit of Dragon Steel. If you encounter a better large-scale Building Blueprint, the price will be even higher."

"The quoted price was too low."

Gu Xi slapped his thigh, realizing that he had quoted Liu Kai too low a price.

"What?" Lei Pengpeng didn't understand. She didn't think Gu Xi would say that her quote was too low.

"It's nothing. Where did you see the quotes for large-scale Building Blueprint on the market?"

Gu Xi did not answer Lei Pengpeng's question, but instead asked his own.

"This is the price now. I've asked several buyers, and they're all only willing to pay this price."

This answer made Gu Xi rub his forehead. Before there was a market of its own, the prices of various goods were always so chaotic.

"Okay, the price you mentioned is fine."

Gu Xi didn't consider anything else. The price of the item in front of him was not inflated. Apart from the uncertainty about Dragon Steel exchanging it for large-scale Building Blueprint, all the other data was available.

In this respect, Lei Pengpeng did not harm herself.

Since there was no room for negotiation on the price, and Gu Xi genuinely needed the item, he naturally decided to buy it.

"Let's make a trade. One piece of Dragon Steel, 2000 Negative Energy, 10 units of stone and 10 units of wood, it's all here. Please check it."

Lei Pengpeng was also dumbfounded when she saw the supplies that Gu Xi took out so easily.

"Wow, that's a tycoon."

"Generally speaking, this battle was fought with all our might, so the rewards were a bit higher. What, do you have some other good stuff?"

"Yes, but it's not Building Blueprint. Take a look and see if you like this!"

Lei Pengpeng didn't want to let such a wealthy person slip by, so she quickly rummaged through her backpack.
