Chapter 1720: End-of-year Bonuses are Distributed, Causing a Frenzy! (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From an ordinary level six refiner, he directly became a millionaire with a patent.
This kind of legendary story is what ordinary people are willing to listen to and pursue.
The story of gra.s.sroots becoming rich overnight is truly exciting.
Even the two level-nine refiners felt a bit envious of Yu Changdao.
Three days later, the Sun family, the Zheng family, and two other merchant groups from Maple Forest City arrived, bringing the materials needed for the workshop.
Accompanying them were not only the Sun family’s core refiners, armor masters, puppet masters, but also almost all the expert cultivators of the Zheng family.
Altogether, more than a thousand people came to join the workshop.
With the workshop officially operating, there would inevitably be a need for a large number of escorts for guards and caravans.
In the future, the workshop would need more experts to support it.
In those big cities and small towns, there might be people trying to spy.
Fortunately, there were actually no secrets in this workshop. The production of the Microscopic Eye was not complicated, and it was agreed upon by the Alliance and various major cities.
Even if it was placed openly, no one dared to replicate it.
The Alliance’s annual 100 billion origin coins was not for nothing.
After the materials from Maple Forest City were delivered, the workshop went into full operation, and the craftsmen were divided into several shifts to produce Microscopic Eyes day and night.
The annual demand for the Microscopic Eye was 100 million. Even if it was fewer this year, the target was still set at 70 million.
Han Muye didn’t care whether the target could be achieved, but for these craftsmen and refiners in the workshop, this was money.
Every extra forging meant actual origin coins in hand.
A month later, the sage-level refining master Tan Yuan arrived, accompanied by four level-nine refiners.
Even though they arrived quietly, they were still sage-level and level nine. As soon as they arrived at the workshop, they caused a sensation.
According to Han Muye’s request, sage-level and level nine refiners, along with several level six and seven refiners were required to give lectures once a month.
They lectured the refiners in the workshop on the art of refining.
It wasn’t for free. Depending on their respective levels, the remuneration varied.
For example, Tan Yuan charged one million origin coins per lecture.
Level six refiners like Ma Mingyuan and Wu Hua charged 80,000 origin coins per cla.s.s.
Which was already quite a lot.
Even a sage-level expert wouldn’t look down on easy origin coins.
In three months, all the refiners in the workshop felt like they were in heaven.
Not only did their daily income increase many times over, but they also had countless opportunities and chances to learn.
These refiners in the workshop would not give up on any lecture.
In a small town, their exposure to knowledge was too limited.
Now, with a sage-level and a level-nine refiner giving lectures, how blissful was that?
Every time Tan Yuan and the level nine refiners gave lectures, the workshop was packed with people.
As for the lectures by level six refiner Ma Mingyuan and others, there were even more people attending.
Because it wasn’t just the refiners, even the craftsmen in the workshop wanted to listen.
The craftsmen didn’t have the qualifications to attend lectures by sage-level and level nine refiners, but they could attend lectures by level six refiners.
In the past, not to mention these craftsmen, even level one and level two craftsmen didn’t have the qualifications to attend lectures by level six refiners.
For the craftsmen in the workshop, who could sit still after seeing that the remuneration of those refiners was many times higher than theirs?
Wasn’t it just having some cultivation and being able to carve simple spiritual patterns?
That wasn’t difficult.
In three months, at least 30 craftsmen in the workshop successfully obtained the qualification to carve spiritual patterns.
They weren’t considered refiners. Their foundation was still too weak but they could become high-level craftsmen, with the same remuneration as refiners.
This made those level one refiners nervous.
If they didn’t improve themselves, their jobs might be replaced by those craftsmen.
Three months later, the first batch of Microscopic Eyes destined for the
Alliance was finally sent out.
A total of 20 million Microscopic Eye were escorted to the Alliance headquarters by several level-nine armor masters and puppet masters.
20 million Microscopic Eye brought about an unimaginable amount of 60 billion origin coins.
This number drove people crazy.
Fortunately, the Alliance kept this matter very confidential and paid great attention to it.
The first transaction was completed smoothly.
As for the second transaction three months later, there was no need for merchant groups to travel long distances.
30 million Microscopic Eyes were directly connected to the Alliance headquarters from the teleportation array in the workshop.
Each teleportation cost 10 million origin coins.
However, this loss was nothing to the Alliance.
The demand for Microscopic Eyes from various major cities far exceeded the Alliance’s expectations.
Not only were Microscopic Eyes used to reduce the requirements for refiner levels, but there was also a revolution in Refining brought about by the delicate carving knife.
The delicate carving knife researched by Yu Changdao brought about significant changes in the technique of carving spiritual patterns. On a single piece, many more spiritual patterns could be carved.
With the help of Microscopic Eyes, the carrying capacity of parts could be fully utilized.
When countless such parts were combined, the increase in power for Battle Puppets and Battle Armors.
The patent rights for the delicate carving knife were sold, and many workshops could now produce it.
So the delicate carving knife quickly became popular in major cities, and those low-level refiners felt embarra.s.sed to go out without one.
Moreover, these delicate carving knives had evolved from the ordinary type to the luxurious and elite types.
A carving knife that used to cost only three origin coins now had a price tag as high as several hundred origin coins.. Could you believe it?
