Chapter 179: Hardship Players, Future Plans
“It is indeed necessary to set a reasonable task reward for them in advance.”

Francis nodded. “Another important point is that there seems to be some commonality in the information between them.”

As he spoke, he operated the mainland communicator to pop up a new light screen with two messages reflected on it.

These two messages record the arguments between early beta test players and wizards who were issuing wizardry improvement contribution points.

The content of the dispute was that the witchcraft model he submitted in the Betula continent had also “broken the limit once”, and was not from the same faction as the witchcraft model submitted by another player in Milton, so why did he get half as many contribution points?
The wizard who issued the witchcraft improvement contribution points explained to him in detail the terms of duplicate checking and multi-element faction subsidies, and reported this important discovery to the database.

“Everyone, please take a look.”

Francis pointed at the two messages on the screen and said, “It seems that there is another communication channel between them. Although they did not communicate through the laboratory communication magic circle and the continental communicator, they were able to know the details of the contribution points obtained by another player who turned in the optimized model on a separate continent.”

“Regarding this point, I think we also need to pay attention to it. At least we must find out whether the soul contract is useful to them.”

“If it’s useless, how can we restrain them from spreading the information about the Fourth Ring Breakthrough?”

“Um, sorry, Speaker Lor, I just suddenly thought of this question and interrupted your speech. Please continue. We will discuss this issue later.”

After saying that, he turned off the projection of the mainland communicator and looked at Lor with a little apology.

“That’s okay. The points you raised are worth further discussion later.”

Lore nodded with a smile, and then brought the topic back to pricing. “Regarding the pricing of player rewards, I think it should be differentiated from multiple angles, rather than blindly following old practices.”

“They can come back to life after death, and becoming an apprentice is easy.”

“So if they come in large numbers, that would represent a large number of sorcery bits coming in.”

“The price they paid for their sorcery position was extremely small, completely different from the apprentices who were promoted from mortals.”

“Then the pricing standard of wizardry slots should also be lowered, such as changing the price of a wizardry slot to 10 contribution magic crystals.”

“When paying for multiple witchcraft slots at the same time, there is no need to increase the magic crystals. For example, when they are first-level apprentices, they pay for five witchcraft slots, and we only need to give 50 magic crystals. The same proportion is reduced from the previous level.”

“Of course, if you are willing to spend your own magic crystals to help them upgrade to the first, second, or even third ring, and then conduct experiments at the first to third ring witchcraft level, you can negotiate the remuneration yourself.”

“As for the Abyss Demon Extermination quests I have posted, since they require a certain amount of investment and carry certain risks, the price is slightly higher. For killing a first-level demon, you will be rewarded with 100 magic crystals, and the amount will increase in the same proportion if you kill more.”

“What do you think of my proposal? If there is anything wrong with it, we can discuss it further.”

All together, the magic crystal mines he owned could only produce about 3.7 million magic crystals a month.

If he didn’t lower the price, there probably wouldn’t be many players willing to take his quest, even if all the proceeds from killing the demon would belong to the players.

After all, killing demons requires players to upgrade themselves to the first to third ring, which has costs, and there is also the risk of being killed by demons.

The risk can only be avoided if he keeps the demons in captivity and puts them in a queue for players to kill.

However, based on future experience, the probability of a captive demon breaking through will be greatly reduced, and it is not cost-effective even if a level 0 demon can increase its origin points.

After all, the total number of demons produced in the abyss is limited. Originally, the probability of a level 0 demon breaking through to a level demon is one in five, but in captivity it becomes one in percent, which means there are twenty times fewer origin points out of thin air, and the higher you go, the less there is.

What’s more, it is still uncertain whether the 0th level demon can improve its origin points!
Therefore, it is not considered.

Of course, killing the abyss demons is not without advantages.

It takes time for players to build a witchcraft model. For example, building a meditation model takes about five hours, and an ordinary witchcraft model takes about three hours.

After a whole day, I couldn’t build many models.

The efficiency of earning contribution points is much lower than that of killing demons in the abyss after officially improving your strength.

If his proposal is passed, he will give out 3 million magic crystals to players as task rewards every month, which will at least give him a % increase in the origin point progress.

In addition, once he finds ten basic space construction runes, he can also take over the space ring manufacturing business, which is another project that can bring in a large amount of magic crystals.

There are also space teleportation array business, small space expansion business and so on.

In fact, he doesn’t have to do most of these things himself. He just needs to bring out a few third-ring students and teach them methods, and then he can sit back and enjoy the profits.

If everything goes well, he expects that he should be able to steadily obtain around 1 billion magic crystals in a month.

Converted into the cost origin point progress, plus the 3% guarantee, a total of 13% progress should be achieved in one month, and one origin point can be collected in eight months.

In the early stage, a small version can be used to raise three origin points in two years.

When the plane era begins and he has abundant magic crystals in his hands, he will fully develop the potential of the abyss. The progress should be able to increase several times, reaching the level of one source point per month.

“If those players can accept this price, I have no problem with it,” Francis said with a smile.

“Well, that’s no problem for me either.”

“can.”

“Seconded.”

No one objected to Lor’s proposal.

The main reason is that Lor doesn’t have that many magic crystal mines, so he can’t attract many players.

“Since everyone has no objection, then Speaker Lore’s proposal is passed. Let’s move on to the next topic.” Francis announced immediately upon seeing this.

The next topic, of course, is how to restrict players from spreading the Four Rings Breakthrough Method.

The final conclusion was that any player who broke through the fourth ring without permission would be killed on the spot and a hunting order would be issued.

As for those who are promoted from mortals, there are too many ways to do it, and I believe no one would be so stupid.

After discussing the issues concerning players, some speakers raised other topics.

As proposed by Gerald, regarding the arrangements for the new Five-Rings wizard Code.

Finally, after a vote, his status as a member of parliament was restored.

As for wanting to become Speaker, he would have to wait until he made more contributions to the wizarding world.

There was no way. Most of the speakers present were wary and resistant to the belief in wizards.

Subsequently, several speakers raised some issues and everyone voted on them one by one. The parliament, which lasted for three hours, was finally declared over.

Most of the speakers left, and only a few remained.

Among them were Arsen and his two companions who were temporarily stationed at the entrance of the abyss to prevent low-level demons from leaving the abyss, as well as the Five-Ring Earth Speaker Payton and Lor.

“Speaker Lor, have you chosen the location for your wizard tower?” Peyton asked Lor.

“It has been chosen, in the middle of the Agate Plain on the Betula Continent.” Lor nodded. “Okay, I’ll go over there and help you build the general framework of the wizard tower, and connect it to the continental defense shield.” Peyton said with a smile.

Like the wizard towers of the congressmen, it was usually his student, Congressman Barin, who helped build them.

The Speakers’ wizard towers were built by him personally.

“Well, thank you.” Lor immediately thanked him.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and then Peyton turned into a speck of dust and flew towards the Betula continent.

“My wizard tower is finally going to be built.”

Lor looked at the Betula continent from afar and thought to himself, “It will take about 130 years before the next player comes.”

“During these 130 years, my primary goal is to recruit students and strive to train several three-ring space wizards.”

“The secondary goal is to slowly spread out some wizard development directions and enrich the types of wizards.”

“The guidance of the soul wizard should be postponed. Otherwise, if Domenico really goes in the right direction now, it may even pose a fatal threat to me.”

“The rest of my free time will be used to search for basic space runes.”

“There are seventy-two basic space-building runes in total. As long as we find fifty of them, we should be able to start trying to build a space domain and prepare for the promotion to the fifth ring.”

“In addition, the expansion of space rings and small spaces also requires some specific basic space construction runes.”

“The space teleportation array requires space positioning, space leaping, and some specific construction-type space basic runes.”

“To open the plane era, you need to combine the space penetration basic rune with the space leap rune. Of course, you still need some basic space runes to construct the witchcraft model.”

After some calculations, he found that the functional space rune he urgently needed was only a basic space penetration rune.

However, the basic runes for constructing space are in dire need of it.

Most importantly, there aren’t any.

The solution lies with players, students, and themselves, who take the time to collect them using microscope models.

“Take your time. I have plenty of time and I can always get it together.” Lor said secretly.

Then he suppressed his thoughts, and his body silently transformed into an elemental giant about 1.83 meters tall. He touched the origin container in his sea of ​​consciousness, cast a space jump spell, and leaped towards the Betula continent.

Now he had to inform Agular and ask him to prepare to welcome Payton.

After a while.

In the Betula continent, on the Agate Plain, in a magnificent palace in the center of the city of Lor.

Agulal was sitting at the end of the long table in the center of the hall, reviewing documents.

“Boom boom boom——”

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared silently outside the hall and gently knocked on the open door beside him. Three dull sounds echoed throughout the hall.

“Speaker Lor, you’re back.” Agulal raised his head and the moment he saw the dark figure, he immediately stood up and said happily.

The news of Lor becoming the Speaker had already been announced to the entire Wizarding Union by Gerald through the announcement column, so he had naturally seen it.

Now Lor’s status is so high that he couldn’t even see it before.

Even the once high and mighty Lord Nelson was only a fourth-ring councilor.

But the student he accepted back then has now become the Speaker of the House.

This is the Speaker!

An existence standing at the top of the Wizarding Union!
He never dreamed that he would one day become a mentor to the Speaker.

Therefore, no one dares to be disrespectful to the Speaker.

“Teacher, why are you being so polite to me?”

The dark color on Luo Er’s body faded away, and he turned back into a physical body. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: “No matter what I become, I am still your student. No external factors can change this.”

He really didn’t expect that after becoming the Speaker this time, even Agulal’s attitude towards him would become much more distant.

You know, the last time he became a member of parliament, his attitude didn’t change at all.

I wonder how Kateya will react when she sees him?
“Lor, you…you.” Agulal changed his words with great difficulty. However, after saying these four words, he suddenly didn’t know what to say to Lor next.

Tell Lor to be careful?

Who else in the wizarding world could threaten him now?
Teach Lor witchcraft?
How could he have the qualifications?

“Teacher, Speaker Peyton will come to our side to help me build the wizard tower. Please tell some people to prepare a banquet.”

Luo Er walked slowly to the long table, waved his hand gently, took out a lot of precious ingredients that he had received when he tried to obtain the origin points, and placed them on the long table. He said in a gentle tone: “By the way, is there anyone here who can handle these ingredients?”

“If no one can handle it, I’ll go ask Ron to borrow some people.”

He had no good way to resolve Agulal’s current discomfort and could only let time wear it off.

As they spend more time together, I believe everything will return to the way it was when this man came to find him after killing Gu Lei.

Agulal’s eyes swept over the various precious ingredients that Lor took out, and his pupils trembled violently.

What did he just hear?
Ingredients?

A fourth-tier treasure like the Fire Dragon Holy Fruit, which can slightly enhance the bloodline of dragon-like beasts, has actually become a food in Lor’s mouth?

In addition to the Fire Dragon Holy Fruit, there are more than ten kinds of treasures piled on the long table with different functions but similar levels of preciousness. Are these ingredients?
At this point, Agulal was convinced that his vision could not keep up with Lor’s pace. He sighed softly and said with some difficulty:

“Luo Er, we really don’t have anyone here who can handle these ‘ingredients’. I think only Speaker Ron’s representative has such ‘talent’.”

“Okay, I’ll ask Ron.” Lor nodded with a smile, not paying attention to the implication of extortion in Agulal’s words. Anyway, he would get used to it in the future.

He took out the continental communicator directly from the space ring and sent a communication request to Ron.

In just a moment, Ron’s communication was connected and a light screen popped up.

“Hello, Speaker Lor.” As soon as he saw Lor, Ron bowed deeply. He did not ask Lor what he wanted to do, nor did he stand up on his own. Instead, he remained bent over and listened attentively to Lor’s instructions.

Compared to before, he is now obviously much more respectful.
