Tokyo underground city

Chapter 145 Marilla

"One hundred thousand?"

Lin Huai'en frowned. According to his understanding, the price of a digital camera is only a few thousand yuan, and even very professional photography equipment does not exceed 100,000 yuan. However, if you consider that this thing seems to have a photography function The drone is produced in the underground city...

He decisively revised his statement: "Half a million!"

Seeing Lin Huai'en holding up five fingers, Yuan Ximu covered her mouth with her fingers and snickered softly:

"One zero is missing."

"five million???"

Lin Huaien was shocked.

When he blurted out "five hundred thousand", he realized from Yuan Ximu's expression that he had guessed wrong.

But he never expected that a zero would actually come out.

At least according to his opinion, even if the price of the light-taking fairy is higher than 500,000, it will not exceed 2 million, or at least it should not exceed 3 million.

But it was obvious that his sense of money was far behind the real value of the light-catching goblin.

Yuan Ximu shook her hair triumphantly.

"Nine, seven million, to be exact."

"6.8 million of them are the main body, and then add the control and master export equipment, a total of 10 million."

"You...are too wasteful..."

Lin Huai'en didn't know what to say.

Compared with Yuan Ximu, Xu Qin's consumption habits, which have no concept of things under a thousand yuan, can only pale into insignificance.

As for himself...

hehe.

God knows that not long ago, he was still counting thousands of dollars to get by.

The money Yuan Ximu used to buy the light-catching elves was enough for him to last a lifetime.

But... for Hara Yumu, this may just be her one-time appearance fee, or pocket money that can be spent casually.

Yuan Ximu manipulated the light-taking elf somewhat unskillfully and let it fall on her shoulder.

"It's okay. In order to go to the dungeon, I secretly saved more than 30 million, and now I have only used one-third. What's more, the light-taking fairy is recognized as the best shooting equipment in the dungeon. You can think that I It’s buying the means of production.”

After hearing what Yuan Ximu said, Lin Huai'en fell silent for a moment.

He thought for a while and decided to remind her:

"Since it is a means of production, how long do you plan to take to get back the money?"

"Uh..." Hearing Lin Huai'en ask this, Yuan Ximu was stunned for a moment, and her arrogant expression fell instantly.

"My channel income last month was only over 200... Let me do the math..."

10 million divided by 200 is 50,000, how many years is 50,000 months...

Lin Huaien heard her whispering.

But when he heard her say her monthly income was 200, Lin Huai'en knew that the means of production and so on were just her excuses.

There are only less than 30,000 days in a human life, and only 10,000 of them can be used to make money. Yuan Ximu needs to earn about 900 yuan a day and 27,000 yuan a month before she retires. Take back all 9.7 million.

"However, the actual calculation is not that simple... Calculated based on the base interest rate of 5%, you have to repay at least 500,000 yuan per year to break even."

After all, Lin Huai'en was a clerical employee of a listed company and knew that currency itself is experiencing slight inflation, so any investment that cannot keep up with the inflation rate is equivalent to wasting money - multiply the base interest rate by the total investment amount, It is the minimum rate of return on an investment.

That is, a “perpetual annuity.”

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Yuan Ximu to achieve an annual profit of 500,000 yuan a year.

And she knew this very well, so even if she wanted to defend herself, she lowered her voice:

"Aren't I in the entrepreneurial stage? I am a former genius child star after all! I am still confident that I can achieve this rate of return!"

But in the end, she admitted honestly: "Anyway, I have earned so much money. Apart from buying clothes, I don't know how to spend it."

"My monthly pocket money is more than 100,000 yuan. Except for the first few years, I won't be able to use it at all in the future. I just bought stocks in several dungeon exploration companies and made a profit of more than 30 million yuan."

"It's better to spend money on equipment than to waste it everywhere, right?"

Yuan Ximu's method of making money can make most investors angry to death.

But like most entrepreneurs in the world, she has taken advantage of the times.

In recent years, the domestic underground city industry has developed very rapidly, and the stocks of related listed companies have naturally increased.

As a teenage high school student, Hara Yumu was able to make money in the stock market because of a certain amount of luck, so she knew this very well.

"I still have more than 10 million yuan in stocks under my name, but they have been handed over to my parents to take care of now. Only these 30 million yuan are my start-up capital, and I can spend it however I want."

Hearing what Yuan Ximu said, Lin Huai'en couldn't help but shook his head:

"Okay." A huge sum of more than ten million is already a lifetime wealth for him.

But for Hara Yumu, it is really just pocket money.

However, after this incident, he also fully understood that the current Yuan Ximu was at least half a bourgeois class, which was indeed different from ordinary people like him.

"At least my outlook is normal."

Lin Huai'en was thinking subconsciously, but was patted on the shoulder by Yuan Ximu.

"Here's this thing for you." The girl took out a piece of something like a monocle that still had body scent from her arms.

"What is this?" he asked curiously, resisting the urge to put it under his nose and smell it.

"You can think of the light-catching goblin's monitors as synchronized image transmission devices. There are three of them in total, and I made two as spares."

Yuan Ximu explained and motioned to Lin Huai'en to put it on.

Lin Huaien followed her instructions and put the glasses on his right eye.

In the lens, there is a bird's-eye view of flying in the air. He was a little dizzy. The image in his right eye was not only very fast, but also some distance from the ground.

And he glanced at Yuan Ximu subconsciously. On the girl's face, she also wore a pair of the same monocle.

And she proudly showed off to him: "Not bad, we share the field of view. If you have anything you want to shoot, you can tell me. I can control the light-taking fairy and let it do a 360-degree surround shooting."

Lin Huai'en realized the value of this thing almost immediately.

"With your magic power, how long can you control it to fly?" Originally, he thought that the light-taking fairy was worth more than 10 million, and it was almost worth a first-class relic.

But now he knows that even without the photography function, for ordinary explorers, this is still a first-class relic-level equipment!

Yuan Ximu obviously didn't think as deeply as Lin Huai'en. She tilted her head and simply replied:

"If we keep shooting, it won't be a problem for three or four days."

Having said this, she let the light-taking fairy fly to her palm, revealing the blue and white crystal she held in her arms: "But shooting videos requires the use of light-taking crystals. One crystal can store about six hours of master footage. , and then it has to be replaced.”

Speaking of this, Yuan Ximu pointed to the crystal held by the goblin in her hand: "When this crystal turns completely blue, it means it needs to be replaced."

"How much does the light-taking crystal cost?" Lin Huai'en asked, looking at the half-changed color of the crystal in the goblin's hand.

"Thirty thousand yuan each." The girl said lightly, "It's just an ordinary third-level treasure."

"Thirty thousand yuan a piece..." Lin Huai'en rubbed his forehead. As an explorer who burns about 100,000 yuan every month, he knew that he was not qualified to judge others in terms of consumables, "In dungeon props Here, it can indeed be considered 'ordinary'."

"Yes." Yuan Ximu nodded, changed the subject, and continued:

"Also, I didn't buy the Lighting Goblin for film and editing purposes - although I also want to work in this area."

"But it's more for the live broadcast." She danced and gestured about her thoughts, as if she had finally found someone who could talk about these things:

"Using the flight and invisibility abilities of the light-catching fairies, we can achieve many great effects! At least better than many bloggers who upload vlogs!"

"If the live broadcast footage can be transmitted to the live broadcast platform, crystals won't even be needed!"

"I'm still debugging the equipment right now. I'll be able to conduct a trial broadcast probably tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

After hearing this, Lin Huai'en felt that he had underestimated Yuan Ximu's seriousness and technical ability in live broadcasting in the dungeon.

He thought about it and became serious:

"How about magic power and operation? You have to live broadcast and control the camera. The requirements for magic power and thinking and memory are very high, right?"

Yuan Ximu nodded, her expression quite serious.

Obviously, she is also aware of this problem: "According to the results during debugging, I can only maintain live streaming for about half an hour now."

"And when the live broadcast is officially launched, I will use crystal cores and magic potions. I should be able to maintain the live broadcast duration for about an hour."

It seems that for her, this is also "a battle", her "battle" with the dungeon:

In this regard, Lin Huai'en is completely unable to help.

So he had no choice but to bless her and said: "I hope everything will go well by then..."

.

To be honest, Lin Huai'en cannot say that he has no doubts about "Sunset Xixue" preparing to go to the dungeon and become the host of an adventure live broadcast.

But it's not that he can't understand Yuan Ximu's thoughts.

Because when it comes to being obsessed with dungeons, Xu Qin is even worse than him.

Both of these people are a bit like genius girls who can no longer find the meaning of existence in the real society, so they have an unusual obsession with the "dungeon", a thing outside human civilization.

If unemployed people like Lin Huai'en are forced into underground cities by modern civilization, Xu Qin and Yuan Ximu are actively pursuing the underground cities.

For such people, Lin Huai'en has to say that he is confused, but in addition to confusion, he will also feel respect.

"After reaching the pinnacle of human civilization, do you not hesitate to move into the wilderness..."

"Therefore, the boundaries of human civilization are always changed in the hands of geniuses..."

Lin Huai'en looked at Yuan Ximu, who was lying on the table in the corner of the camp, editing videos, and subconsciously sucked the instant jelly in his hand.

I feel like I have nothing to do with myself.

So he turned around and wanted to go back to the tent to rest.

But he accidentally bumped into a somewhat familiar girl.

"ah……!"

The flaxen-haired girl retreated, swaying.

Seeing that her left foot tripped on her right foot and was about to fall, Lin Huai'en quickly reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Are you okay? Sorry, I didn't notice you standing behind me."

He said almost against the girl's cheek.

The girl covered her chest with her hands, her chest heaving rapidly, and her ears turned red.

But she still squeezed out an apology from her throat:

"No...it's my fault, I shouldn't be so close to you..."

Therefore, even Lin Huaien had to admit it.

Quite cute.

He took a step back, supported the girl's body, and helped her stand firm.

After stopping, Marilla immediately took a step back, took a deep breath, calmed down, and bowed her head to Lin Huaien:

"Really! I'm sorry! I disturbed you!"

Seeing the girl apologizing again, Lin Huai'en couldn't help scratching his neck:

"No, it's okay. You're standing behind me. What's the matter?"

He thought for a moment, there were very few people who could get so close to him quietly and still be invisible to him.

And this gentle girl, who seemed to lack a sense of presence, hesitated a little.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Is such that……"

Starting tomorrow, we will resume double updates of at least 6,000 words.

No surprise it is updated at 18:00 and 22:00.

There are still 100 chapters left in the front and the following chapters have not been changed. The effect of the chapter modification is obvious, so I plan to complete the changes in these two days and start adding more updates according to the daily update rate of more than 8,000.

Finally, by the way, if you are a book lover who thinks you have depression, you can try eating two eggs.

Anyway, supplementing protein has a strong effect on adjusting my mentality for me.
