Chapter 802 -558 Craftsman Competition_2

Council President Stormbrew awkwardly smiled: “Clan Elder, should we arrange for a showdown between the craftsmen for the next round?”

“You decide for yourself… as agreed in advance, we are just backing you up from behind. You send your own people up.” Rock Fist·Deep Furnace sat down carelessly, playing with the smartphone that the human had gifted him.

Inside, there’s an app called “Dou Ying”, filled with short videos shot by various races in the trading market. It’s incredibly addictive.

The dwarves began selecting people and drafting rules.

They also knew that sending strangers up could raise issues of unfairness—not that the dwarves were morally superior; their goal this time was indeed to stir things up. If they were verbally criticized and caused a public backlash, they would fail their objective.

…

…

The third round of the gambling showdown is a battle between craftsmen, a test of the comprehensive strength of a civilization!

Every civilization has craftsmen, even the One-eyed Clan has blacksmiths.

The comprehensive strength of craftsmen is also the foundation for developing the idealist field.

After some simple negotiations, the dwarves proposed a rather strange plan: a competition based on the popularity level of their forged items.

“Our civilization believes that one or two top-notch craftsmen do not represent the strength of the idealist power.”

“Only a group of fairly skilled craftsmen represents the ultimate foundation of civilization… I think 100 craftsmen is a good number. So we’ll set the number of participants to 100. If the craftsmen on the field get tired or run out of inspiration, they can be substituted. Anyway, those left on the field shouldn’t exceed one hundred.”

This condition… The dwarves originally had over five hundred craftsmen, clearly using quantity to bully others.

However, the humans also have many craftsmen who can accommodate this.

The dwarven diplomat said: “Furthermore, we do not advocate for forcefully creating high-level items, as Extraordinary Level items can be crafted with expensive materials, but their cost-performance ratio is often not high.”

“We believe that items that can be sold to other civilizations, in high demand and fetch a good price, are truly good.”

“So you mean for the craftsmen to create Extraordinary Items on the spot, then directly sell them?” Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

“Yes! The civilizations present here basically have decent insight. Items they are willing to purchase are generally good stuff, right?”

“So let’s let their willingness to buy determine the value of the items. Ultimately, we’ll still rely on the amount of merchandise sold to determine the final victory. What do you think?”

Lu Yuan saw these conditions and suspiciously glanced at the dwarf diplomat.

He constantly felt these dwarves were here to boost reputation, presenting such conditions just as his “Field Industrialization” recently broke through.

“What about technological products?”

“You can use some semi-finished products, but cannot directly use finished products. You should also know that the purpose of the gambling showdown is to strengthen our mutual understanding… if you directly sell laptops or phones, we need not compete as we obviously can’t compare with you.”

The dwarves lost one round and lowered their posture a bit.

A human Great Clan, with a Big Golden Dragon as Guardian, is hard to suppress. The Lücao Trading Market might persist long-lastingly.

But in any case, they still need to win this round.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow; this rule also has some loopholes. For instance, a Legendary item originally priced at 1000 could be sold for just 100 Spirit Essence, giving a huge discount, and wouldn’t a bunch of civilizations be willing to buy it?

But neither the human nor the dwarf civilization can afford such large-scale “spreading coins” behavior.

The gambling showdown is not simply about determining victory or defeat but about diminishing the opponent’s reputation.

This kind of “big spreading coins” behavior would only make other civilizations laugh and think you’re a fool.

Besides, among the various civilizations watching, arrangements like “moles” could be set up. Like the Wulan Clan could act as humans’ “moles”—they sincerely wish for Green Grass City to win.

But no matter what, the value of an Extraordinary Item has a general range.

The purchasing power of a civilization is known to everyone.

If your transaction is too abnormal, it also becomes a talking point… the civilizations here amount to nearly 300 in number; truly popular items can’t easily have their sales boosted by “moles”.

Therefore, after not much thought, he agreed to this plan. freēnovelkiss.com

…

“These dwarves actually proposed such requirements; it seems they are very confident!”

“You know what needs to be made, don’t you?” Lu Yuan loudly said backstage, “There’s a total of 7 days.”

“Understood!!”

All the craftsmen were rubbing their hands with high spirits.

On the side of Green Grass City, a total of over two hundred human and Blue Peng craftsmen were selected, with 100 on the field and the rest as backup members.

In fact, this number is quite impressive; fewer than five civilizations in the Northern Territory have as many as 100 craftsmen.

These civilizations mostly possess such numerous craftsmen because their racial values lean towards “Craftsmanship Talent”.

Additionally, the Rat Artisans, being strangers, didn’t personally take the field either.

Craftsman Master Li Datie excitedly said: “Comrades, today is the day ‘Greedy Treasure Book’ emerges, shining in the Northern Territory! Let’s not mess it up, Big Golden worked hard to win a round for us, we can’t lose back.”

Some craftsmen even said: “Great Commander, you shouldn’t personally take the field!”

“You’re the main author of ‘Greedy Treasure Book’. Going down to bully the juniors would only make you lose face in vain.”
