Eh? He’s going to start working again?
Li Shaoqiang instantly regained his spirit and sat up straight.
“Please speak.”
Fang Heng pursed his lips and sorted out his thoughts. “It’s indeed too hard for the two of you to go and lure the souls, so I think we should hire someone to complete the act of luring the monsters.”
Huh?
Tan Shuo blinked twice with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Lure the monsters?
D*mn it, did he really treat the souls as game monsters?
Looking at their confused looks, Fang Heng continued to explain, “I mean, is there a place similar to the labor market in the Necromancer Association? We can hire more people to help.”
Fang Heng’s train of thought was clear. It was a little slow to rely on Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo alone, and it was not very efficient.
So he would increase the manpower. It would be alright if twenty people were to attack at the same time!
The more the better!
Fang Heng was familiar with this tactic.
He often did this in games.
“Fang Heng, you are referring to the mission commission center in the hall of the dead, right?”
Li Shaoqiang roughly understood. He pondered for a moment and explained to Fang Heng.
“In theory, it seems to be possible. We can hire people from the commission center, but Fang Heng, you also know that the cost of manpower in today’s society is very high. Moreover, there is also a middleman at the Necromancer Association who takes a commission and earns the difference in price.”
“In addition, those who can enter the fallen corridor are also not normal scholars. The price of hiring them for a day is about 1,000 contribution points. Are we able to afford it…?”
As Li Shaoqiang was speaking, Tan Shuo, who was beside him, tugged at him.
“Huh? What?”
Tan Shuo reminded him, “If Fang Heng can continuously capture souls with this efficiency, we should still be able to make a profit, right?”
“Huh?”
“Hiring a normal worker will cost 1,000 contribution points. The market price of a bottle of an elementary soul is about 500 contribution points.”
Tan Shuo counted counting with his fingers, “In theory, if we don’t take into account the consumption of materials, recruiting a worker who can capture two souls can help to maintain a balance of payment. If we seal more souls, we can even make a small profit.”
Li Shaoqiang was stunned.
What did he mean?
After all this time, they could still make a profit?
Fang Heng also blinked his eyes.
Small profit?
“That’s not right!”
Li Shaoqiang quickly reacted, “No, no, we can’t calculate like this. Elementary souls can only be traded and sold as experimental materials after the packaging is completed. Let’s not take into account the cost of the packaging materials first. Even if we entrust someone else to do the packaging, we still have to spend money, right?”
“Moreover, it’s hard to meet the time requirement. It would take at least half an hour to package a soul body. If we make a mistake, half an hour would be wasted, and the materials might also be wasted. Even if we hire someone, they can’t continuously package souls 24 hours a day. We also have to account for the various losses during the capture of the soul body.”
“Ah, this…” Tan Shuo also realized the problem, he nodded and said, “Indeed, things like packaging take time and effort and don’t earn much, but if we raise the price, we can also find people… if we include the cost in this area… we can still guarantee the capital.”
“Probably, but this will take too much time, and the capital flow is too slow.”
Fang Heng could still understand at the beginning, but he was a little confused at the end.
He raised his hand and interrupted them, “Wait a minute, you two, what do you mean by ‘packaging’?”
“Oh, it’s like this,” Li Shaoqiang explained, “Fang Heng, elementary soul bodies are very versatile. They are generally used in the daily experiments of the necromancers, casting materials, potion materials and production of magic items.”
“In most cases, the seller will package the soul body after sealing it, wiping away the soul body’s consciousness and impurities. This way, the soul body can be used directly. It’s very convenient
“However, packaging is very troublesome. It requires time and patience.”
Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched, and he asked again, “Does packaging requires mental strength?”
“That’s not necessary, but it requires a lot of energy. Moreover, it requires the support of the basic attribute of the spirit. If you’re not careful, it’s easy to fail. It’s very troublesome.”
Fang Heng was happy when he heard that.
It was fine as long as he didn’t need to expend mental strength!
The problem was solved!
Others might be afraid of trouble, but he wasn’t!
He could even do the dirty work with his zombie clones!
With this calculation, if he followed Tan Shuo’s plan and got the manpower, he could even make a huge profit?!
Hire people!
Let’s do it!!!
All of a sudden, Fang Heng’s mind was filled with the words ‘make money’.
Contribution points from the Necromancer Association could be exchanged for King of Gods’ points!
The problem now was the start-up capital.
He had King of Gods’ points but it would be a bit foolish to go and exchange them for contribution points now. It would be a waste of his monthly contribution points exchange quota.
Thinking of this, Fang Heng shifted his gaze to Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo. “The two of you, I have a big deal here. How about investing in it?”
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo looked at each other.
“Fang Heng, is your investment reliable?”
“Believe me, it’s absolutely reliable. Don’t you trust me? You can go and ask the Leftway Gaming Guild. My reputation is very good.”
Seeing that the two of them were still hesitating, Fang Heng patted his chest and whispered, “I have a way to solve the problem of packaging the soul body.”
Li Shaoqiang was shocked when he heard that. “Really?!”
“Of course it’s true. Let’s not waste time. Take me to learn how to package the soul first, then we’ll hire people to do the work…”
…
[Hint: During the time you went offline, your zombie clone killed a Tier 1 mutated zombie*24733, a Tier 2 mutated zombie*3764, and a Tier 3 mutated zombie*5.]
When he went online again, the game hint quickly swept across Fang Heng’s retina.
After hacking for half a day, the zombie clones cleared out the entire quarantine zone’s first floor.
“So many…”
Fang Heng muttered to himself.
The quarantine zone’s building was bigger than he had expected.
Fang Heng raised his head and waved at the red dots on the ground.
Fang Heng absorbed the evolution crystals into the mark on the back of his hand.
[Hint: You have obtained evolution crystal fragments*7263, complete evolution crystal*662, Tier 1 evolution crystal*146, Tier 2 evolution crystal*1.]
Done!!
[Hint: You have met the current level up requirement. Do you want to level up?]
“Level up!”
[Hint: Player’s level has been raised to Level 19. Player has obtained zombie clone*49. Player currently has zombie clone number: 292.]
In the next moment, a few alchemy magic arrays flashed under Fang Heng’s feet.
Zombie clones came out of the magic array one after another.
They staggered and stood behind Fang Heng.
Very good, he had leveled up successfully!
Fang Heng clenched his fist.
He had nearly 50 more zombie clones. Including the proliferators, he had roughly 200 more free labor!
Fang Heng’s heart was burning with passion.
He would first bring this wave of zombie clones back to the shelter and let them package the souls!
Capture the souls, package them, sell them, hire people, capture the souls… it was a perfect cycle.
Make money! Make money!!
