Chapter 2897

It refers to craftsmen whose vocational skill exceeds 500 points.

These are regular veteran craftsmen of fifty years, so naturally there won't be too many of them.

Several nobles exchanged glances.

If there's this extra benefit…

It really doesn't seem like a loss.

There's even a profit to be made.

Gongsun Po asked, "Captain Yao… are you serious? You have a method to elevate craftsmen to Senior Master this quickly? Our standard is the same, right? It's 500 points of vocational skill to be a Senior Master."

Yao Feng nodded: "Of course."

She answered two questions with two words.

"Right…" Yao Feng added: "You'll need to provide Swift-Craft Talismans. Each craftsman brings 400 Swift-Craft Talismans. Including those for teaching and for production."

Wang Xiao was surprised: "That many Swift-Craft Talismans? Even if the craftsmen grit their teeth and use 4 a day, they'd only need less than 60 for these 2 weeks."

Yao Feng said: "Wang Xiao, I already told you — if you don't want to participate, you don't have to. You're using 400 Swift-Craft Talismans to trade for a Senior Master in 2 weeks, what are you dissatisfied about? Of course I have my own use for them. Use your bald head and think!"

Wang Xiao was so angry he nearly ground his teeth to dust.

Wang Zhongsheng also rubbed his own bald head.

The others had no objections.

They all guessed that Yao Feng must have some method, but she certainly wouldn't tell them what it was.

400 Swift-Craft Talismans are worth over 200 gold coins. Spending over 200 gold coins to trade for a Resource Master — and a Senior Master at that in just two weeks — is still very worth it.

After the Senior Masters return to their territories, the superior-good rate of ordinary items they produce will be extremely high.

This is absolutely a sure-profit, no-loss investment.

Consider it tuition.

Great Peace Corps Commander Zhang Qiming asked: "Captain Yao… it's the same for us too, right?"

Corps commanders Chang Xian, Tan Qiming, and the others all looked at Yao Feng as well.

Yao Feng nodded: "Same thing. Send me Master-level craftsmen. Each one brings 400 Swift-Craft Talismans. I'll train them into Senior Masters for you, and the output will be split fifty-fifty for standard-grade and below. For superior and fine grades, we'll trade with supplies. You don't have World Stones or Enchantment Scrolls, but you must have other supplies, right?"

Wang Zhongsheng asked: "We do have some, but at what price?"

Yao Feng pondered for a moment.

She actually wanted to trade for as many supplies as possible.

But the current situation was indeed special.

Now was not the time to chase profits — it was time to trade for as many supplies as possible while also letting friendly forces profit.

After all, there was only one most important objective right now: smoothly getting through this werewolf crisis.

Everything else could be pushed back.

Even at the cost of sacrificing some interests.

It wasn't really sacrificing interests, just earning a little less.

Overall it was definitely still a profit.

Once this werewolf crisis was smoothly overcome, everything else would be easy to negotiate.

She had originally intended to split all output fifty-fifty, but in order to exchange for supplies, she held back the fine and superior grades.

So…

She really could give them a much better price.

Yao Feng said: "Calculated at 50 gold coins per set of fine-grade fashion and 200 gold coins per set of superior-grade fashion — but we only accept items, no gold coins. How about that? Expensive? Wang Baldy?"

Kan Feng looked at Wang Xiao.

Of course this wasn't expensive.

It was genuinely cheap.

Apart from the fact that now really wasn't the time to be making money, these were all monthly-use fashion items with very low durability, so they really weren't worth as much as normal models.

Wang Xiao laughed: "Mm… haha. Not expensive, not expensive… then our item prices still follow the market rate for trade?"

Yao Feng nodded: "Right. A Grand Wheel Fragment is 3000 gold coins. You can use 1 Grand Wheel Fragment to trade for 60 sets of fine-grade fashion, or 15 sets of superior-grade fashion."

Jin Xin asked: "What does 'one set' refer to? Does it include all 8 types of fashion you displayed?"

Yao Feng nodded: "Life Brassiere, Energy Panties, Stamina Shirt, Spiritual Power Mini-Skirt, Movement Speed Stockings, Evasion High Heels, Load-Bearing Shoulder Bag, Training Collar — 8 pieces in total!"

Everyone present was a Gao Jie Lord. Their races had basically all expanded the fashion equipment cap, so they could equip all 8 pieces simultaneously.

Their subordinates might not have expanded it, but it didn't matter — they could wear different fashion depending on the situation.

And this price really was cheap.

It was no exaggeration to call it a fire sale.

Chang Xian asked: "Captain Yao, if I only need one specific type of fashion… say, the collar, can I trade for that individually?"

"Of course you can."

"Uh… the price?"

"Fine grade 9 gold coins, superior grade 35 gold coins."

Jiang Yang laughed: "Sister Yao Feng, the price difference you're giving is quite large. For a full set, a single fine-grade piece is 6.25 gold coins and a single superior-grade piece is 25 gold coins. Your price is 40% higher."

Yao Feng said: "Of course it's cheaper by the set. How can individual pieces compare to a full set? You don't even understand this? You're the one who knows business best."

Jiang Yang tilted his head and smiled.

"Do Your Highnesses and Corps Commanders have any objections?"

Zhao Quan shook his head.

Jin Xin said: "I have no objections either. These attributes… this price… I really can't find any fault with it."

Wang Xiao laughed and said, "As expected of Commander Yao, I have no objections either."

The other few people shook their heads as well.

Only the living-skull-faced Tan Qiming asked, "Commander Yao, what about your high-heat fire oil? Is it the same method?"

Yao Feng shook her head: "For the high-heat fire oil, I can open up the technology and exchange it with everyone. Of course, exchanging with supplies works too — 2 gold coins per litre."

Tan Qiming nodded: "Good."

As for the fire oil, Zhao Chi had not developed a Tier-3 material version of the fire oil, only an extremely super-improved fire oil, so the difficulty was indeed higher than normal, but not as high as the fashion.

After giving the technical details, any master-level craftsman should be able to study and try it for one to two days and learn it — of course, that means studying under the Swift-Craft Talisman mode.

At this moment, Yao Feng spoke again:

"Right, the quantities of superior-grade and fine-grade are limited after all, so… first come, first served.

"I just said that what I need most are fragments of the Taiyi Wheel and fragments of the Mysterious Lady Ruler. If you provide these two items, I can also give a 10% discount.

"Once the meeting ends, we can trade right away."

Zhao Quan frowned and said: "Commander Yao, what you mean… is for us to prepay the supplies first? And then after you produce the fashion, you'll pay us?"

Yao Feng laughed and said: "How could that be? Maybe I didn't make myself clear — I already have a batch of fashion on hand, so we can trade directly right now."

Jin Xin laughed roughly: "Haha! Excellent! I have the two kinds of fragments you want on my side, let's trade in a bit!"

Yao Feng silently looked at Jin Xin for two seconds.

Then said: "The fashion on my side… are all regular sizes. If Princess Jin Xin is wearing them herself… they might be a bit small."

Jin Xin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "No problem, I have plenty of normally-built lower-ranked female lords, I'll distribute them to them first. But Commander Yao, you must remember to help me make a batch of large-size fashion as well."

"A batch?"

"Right, me and the subordinates in my territory… I won't say too much, but I need at least 100 sets of large-size superior-grade, and 3000 sets of large-size fine-grade. Of course, if you can make them all superior-grade, I can pay for that too."

"No problem!" Yao Feng agreed.

Wang Zhongsheng said: "Then it's my turn to share next…"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Yao Feng: "I'm very sorry, Army Commander Wang, please wait a moment, I haven't finished on my side yet."

"Oh, my apologies, Commander Yao, please continue."

Yao Feng smiled and nodded at him.

Then Yao Feng operated the system, bringing up three more technologies.

A bow, an arrow, a finger sleeve.

Yao Feng said nothing, only displayed them.

Sounds of amazement rose once again.

"Wow, our World-Breaking Army has this kind of good stuff too??"

The one speaking was Lin Mengting.
