Chapter 174: Strategic Spell Preparation

"How much does it cost?"

"It depends on the variety." Rose said: "There are two types of crystal balls, each with three capacity, and a total of six different models. The capacity of the crystal ball is divided into three levels: one thousand, ten thousand and one hundred thousand. The one in your hand is a medium-sized magic storage crystal ball with a magic value of ten thousand. In addition, according to the conversion ratio of the magic absorbed, it is also divided into high-efficiency type and ordinary type. The one in your hand is an ordinary type, and the conversion rate is about one twenty, that is, input twenty magic power and successfully store one magic power. The conversion rate of the high-efficiency type is slightly higher, which can probably reach twelve to one to thirteen to one. Among them, the cost price of ordinary crystal balls is thirteen, sixteen and twenty respectively according to the magic storage capacity."

"Crystal Coin?"

"No, silver coins."

"What? I only have sixteen silver coins in my hand? Isn't that just one yuan worth of converted into RMB?"

"So I said it's cheap!" Rose smiled proudly and said, "You can't even imagine that the production method of this thing is simple. Just carve the alchemy magic array on a flat plate, then grind the white magic crystal into powder and pile it on the magic array, and then input a small amount of magic to activate it. Woma and the others have specially set up an assembly line in Steel City. One such assembly line can produce more than 100 per minute, just like printing newspapers. The fastest eyes can't keep up. Moreover, this assembly line can only be made with two NPCs. Most of the production cost is transportation costs, and the pure manufacturing cost is less than ten silver coins per crystal ball."

“What about the price of efficient type?”

"The price of high-efficiency type is slightly higher. According to the capacity, the manufacturing cost is ***10."

"gold?"

"No, it's a crystal coin."

"Efficiency has only been improved a little bit, why is there so much more price?"

Rose also said a little frustrated: "The post-production of high-efficiency type is actually the same as the ordinary type, and the extra cost is in the early stage. The ordinary type only needs to grind the scrap white magic crystal into coarse powder and add it according to the required weight. However, the efficient type must use a high-efficiency type to grind the coarse powder into fine powder, and add trace amounts of pearl powder. The high-efficiency type can't cost much money to the high-efficiency type, and the cost is mainly on the pearl powder. Although the amount of addition is not very large, pearls are not rotten grass after all, and buying a large amount of pearls will definitely increase the cost."

"Wait a minute." I suddenly noticed a point. "You said that efficient crystal balls require pearl powder and thorough crushing. Can I think that as long as the crushing is as fine as possible and add pearl powder, you can continue to increase the conversion rate?"

"It can be changed, but not without ***. The addition ratio we are doing now is the most cost-effective solution that Woma and their experiments have. Increasing the amount of pearl powder can indeed increase the conversion efficiency, but when the ratio of pearl powder reaches one thousandth of the scrap white magic crystal powder, it is the upper limit. At this time, the conversion rate can be increased to a little higher than 12 to 1. It can be said that the improvement effect is very weak. Continue to increase the ratio of pearl powder, the conversion rate will not only not increase but also decrease, and it will not even be able to complete the conversion."

“Is there any other way to increase conversion rates?”

"Of course." Rose said: "Just add some Red Magic Crystal powder. However, the proportion requirement is very large, and the Red Magic Crystal does not exist in scrapping. This is equivalent to consuming production. If you finally convert it, the cost price of a crystal ball may rise to more than 30 crystal coins, and the conversion rate is only 8 to 1."

I thought about it and said, "No, this model should still be valuable. Although it is not cost-effective to equip ordinary players, it is definitely worth using elites. As for those ordinary versions, the price difference between different capacity is not large, so it is completely unnecessary to produce three capacity levels. In this way, you go back and notify Woma and produce it in the future. The normal conversion rate only produces two capacity: 100,000 magic value and 1,000 magic value. After production, each member of our guild will be given a capacity of 100,000 yuan and 1,000 yuan. After production, each member of our guild will be given a capacity of 100,000 yuan.

1. The efficient model only produces a model of 10,000 magic value. Members of our guild can use the distributed ordinary model to make up for a little more money and guild contribution points to exchange. If you want to buy a few more, the consumption of the price and guild contribution points must be increased, and each person will buy up to three. In addition, the special enhanced version is also produced, and we will give ten pieces to each guild for our good relationship. Members of our guild can exchange for guild contribution points, but they don’t have money, and the contribution points can be slightly higher."

"What should I do if that regular version of the low-capacity model?"

"For takeaway. The guilds with good relationships with us will give them a discount price, and the guilds will ask them to go to the black market to buy it. As for this price... it's only twenty crystal coins per coin. The guilds with good relationships will give them a 10% discount. Iron players like the Iron Crusaders, the Northern Alliance and the Hot Blood Alliance can consider a 20% discount."

"No problem, I'll do it now."

"Oh by the way, the high-efficiency version has a capacity of 10,000 yuan for auction every week, with a minimum price of 100 crystal coins. Hehe, this is a huge profit!"

"You only sold more than a dozen silver coins to 20 crystal coins, so how can you make a huge profit? But this price is really bad enough. We can make a big profit again this time."

Rose is worthy of being the housekeeper of our Frost Rose League. She has never been a popular person to make money. However, the price I opened this time is indeed not low, and with that auction, I guess I can make a lot of money. Besides, at the selling price, our cost is already so low that it can almost be ignored. What else can I pick on in such a cost-effective business?

As soon as we finished talking about the internal affairs, another shell on the opposite side flew over. As soon as I heard the sound, I knew that the shell was flying directly towards us. I quickly stretched out my wings and wrapped the roses in. Then we heard a bang and were surrounded by a ball of fire. However, when the fireball just rose, my huge wings suddenly blew out all the remaining flames, and we were also unscathed.

"Damn Russians, this shelling has been hit for almost half an hour, why haven't they seen them leaning forward?"

It’s not that I’m impatient, but that the Russians’ attack speed is really slow. Since the Frozen Banshee ordered the entire army to advance, it has been at least forty minutes now. Otherwise, I and I, with Rose and the King of Chuang, discussed the idle things in the guild with Rose and the King of Chuang, were really impatient to wait. However, the Russians were not in a hurry at all. Although their army has been in the throne, it is very slow. Even if there is a turtle for so long, it will be time for him to climb to our position, but the Russian vanguard is still several hundred meters away from our troops. The speed of the snail is

The degree is probably just like that. However, although their troops are slow, their artillery bombardment is so scary. From the beginning of the entire Russian invading legion to the present, at least 100,000 shells have fallen on our position, and many of them are magic crystal steam shells, not only with amazing power, but also with great density. At first we thought the Russians were preparing for artillery fire, but who knew that they would not stop for half an hour. If we hadn't prepared for the shelling, we would probably have no living people on our position for such a long time.

"How long do you think it will take for them to contact us directly at this speed?" Hongyue, who had just arrived at the front line, asked, looking at the craters everywhere.

"I think the Russians are scared." I pointed to the frontier of the Russian army in front and said, "Looking at their expressions, they are obviously scared. Although their leadership knew that this battle would cost a huge price, the ordinary members below obviously did not fully understand their ideas. Those people didn't want to fight us at all. Although they did not disobey, they were very reluctant to come up and die, so the speed was so slow. But then again, what about our cannon group? Why are they just watching people throwing shells on top of our heads?"

Hearing my words, Hongyue asked in surprise: "The cannon group is waiting across the Yellow River to ambush. Didn't you decide the plan yourself? Why don't you know?"

"Do you ambush? Please, even if you need a gun group to attack, you can leave me a few gun groups! You see, the Russians have no casualties at all. They can do whatever they want. If our gun density is half as high as that of the Russians, I think they dare to move forward like this!"

"What should I do now?" Hongyue said with some worries: "The artillery group is already in place. At this time, I am afraid that if I can't cross the river and fire a few shells, I have to pull them back. It seems not very cost-effective?"

Hearing Hongyue's words, Rose suddenly turned around and looked at me and said, "Husband, isn't your small account a strategic mage? There are some advanced players here, just use strategic spells to hit them."

"That's right." I slapped my head and took out the communicator and said, "God of War, help me connect all our elites on the battlefield."

“It’s already connected.”

"All of all, I am President Zi Ri. The group of damn polar bears opposite us seemed to have scared us. It was only less than 500 meters in such a long time. It is probably tomorrow's business to wait for the two sides to fight at this speed. I don't want to wait for them to climb over slowly, so I want to give them some motivation. Now pay attention. All the personnel immediately line up the array, the melee personnel form a defensive front line, and the crossbowmen intersperate into the defense line to assist, and arrange in detail to listen to the dispatch of the military gods. Finally, all the mages who know strategic spells gave me the back of the defense line to gather, so that the greedy polar bears could see the unique strategic spells of our guild and give them a great gift that will never be forgotten. Now everyone is moving for me."

As my order was issued, the front line of defense that our guild was responsible for immediately became chaotic, but this chaos just seemed chaotic. In fact, everyone knew what they were going to do, not running around without purpose, so they just looked a little messy.

Soon, our new defense line gradually took shape in this army-wide running position. The fish scale formation, which was originally composed of seven-man combat teams, instantly turned into a horizontal line. The front row was full of main tank combat personnel wearing heavy plate armor. They were followed by high-sensitivity combat personnel and balanced combat personnel, and finally a row of shooters. Although such defense line has no attack power, its defense ability is definitely the strongest, and our line is not composed of ordinary players.

Everyone on this line of defense is the elite of our guild. Almost everyone's level is above 990, and there are even more than 1,000 of them. It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of individual combat power, this is already the strongest legion in the world. If you want to break through its defense line head-on and not pay more than ten times the casualties, you are simply dreaming.

However... although the defense line in front looks scary, the real danger is not the line of defense. After all, no matter how strong the defense line is, it is also a line of defense. If you don't provoke it, the line of defense itself cannot produce lethality. But behind this line of defense, the magic circle composed of a large group of mages is not a joke.

Although the game "Zero" is not the first online game to propose strategic spell concepts, it is the most perfect in the development and evolution of strategic spells. It not only has a huge and complete power computing system, but also has a spell development system specially designed for large guilds. As long as your guild has enough funds and technical strength, you can develop special strategic spells suitable for your guild according to the characteristics of your guild. This strategic spell can be an attack spell, a defensive spell, or even an auxiliary spell. As long as you can imagine, you can design and develop through the development system, but the more demanding the requirements, the higher the research difficulty.

As the richest and most technical guild in the world, our Frost Rose Alliance will naturally not fall behind in the research of strategic spells. In fact, our guild even has a large group of full-time players who are responsible for developing strategic spells. Moreover, since our guild has recruited a large number of veteran technical magic masters like Master Jiaha, his technical level in magic science is definitely far ahead of other guilds. With such an advantage, if our guild doesn't even believe a fool if he doesn't have a few strategic spells that are under the box, he will not believe it.

Under the coordination between me and the God of War, the mage on our side quickly moved to the designated position, and as each person stood in his own position, a huge magic circle composed of people gradually appeared on the battlefield.

Because this strategic spell is too powerful, its requirements are relatively strict. First of all, this precise position is very particular. Every person participating in the release of spells must stand in the corresponding position, and clearly know which part they belong to and what they need to do. This process is a bit like the performance of using people to puzzle patterns and texts at the opening ceremony of the sports meeting. The entire pattern or text is composed of people. As long as one person stands in the wrong position, the pattern will be distorted and deformed or even completely confused. Compared with the performance at the opening ceremony, strategic spells have more stringent requirements for the position. During the entire release process of spells, as long as one person stands in the wrong position, the spell fails and wastes time and magic power, and the worst is that the magic backlash blows all participants away.

Because strategic spells have too high requirements for positioning, most guild strategic spells generally use small arrays. Each strategic spell actually has six versions. The first version is a single-player version of strategic spells, but this kind of spells generally does not appear on the battlefield because it is used to test the feasibility and extreme power of strategic spells, and it actually does not have much practical value. Except for the first version, the remaining five versions of strategic spells are mini versions, small versions, medium versions, large versions and super versions. These five models are actually strategic spells with practical value, and each strategic spell will have all six versions of them at the same time from the day they are studied.

In fact, we can see from the name that the difference between different versions of strategic spells lies in size. Small ones have small power and low requirements, while large ones have large power and relatively high requirements. Under normal circumstances, guilds only use two levels of strategic spells, mini and small, because these two levels are safer.

Miniature version of strategic spells can usually be combined and cast spells in combination with only seven or eight people, and there is no need to be the core strategic mage, that is, only seven or eight mages can cast spells one by one. In addition, because the number of people is small, the position is relatively easy, and the miniature version of strategic spells itself is also high in error tolerance, so it is no big deal if someone stands at all.

Compared with the mini version, the small version of strategic spells requires a little more personnel. Generally speaking, small strategic spells require more than thirty mages to cast spells together, and at least one strategic mage is required to act as the core. In addition, starting from this level, the requirements for the position of strategic spells will become very strict, so most guilds will first send people to draw magic circles on the ground, and then let people stand according to the marks on the ground. The advantage of doing this is that it is not easy to make mistakes, and the disadvantage is that it takes a lot of time to draw magic circles in advance. However, considering that strategic spells themselves do not fall into the category of fast maneuverable strikes, it is barely acceptable to delay more time.

The medium-sized version of strategic spells is naturally higher than the previous two versions. The strategic spells in this version are generally of a hundred people, and depending on the type of spell, multiple strategic spells may be required to act as nodes, and a strategic mage with the highest strength will act as a guide. Of course, this strategic spell arrangement of a hundred people will also require lines to be drawn in advance to allow the mages to stand on, otherwise so many people will definitely make mistakes.

For ordinary guilds, the above three are the limits they can use. First, most guilds do not have so many mages to complete larger strategic spells, and second, they cannot guarantee accuracy. After all, large-scale and super-style strategic spells cannot be guaranteed to be able to make mistakes by drawing magic circles on the ground. Unless there are special methods, guilds cannot afford to play such things.
