The second negotiation began in full swing. This time, the major lords were well prepared, and almost every lord brought a negotiation team of dozens of people.
But negotiation is not only effective if it is fully prepared. Between the two forces, strength is the main way to determine the outcome of the negotiation.
Before the negotiations began, Xu Kuang brought the six major lords directly to his military camp and held a military parade for these lords.
When all the soldiers, wearing uniforms, appeared neatly in front of them, the shouts of killing made their ears ring. When the rifle hit the porcelain target several hundred meters away, Maxim swept down the big tree, and the artillery fire covered the entire area. Behind the hillside, all voices of opposition and resistance disappeared.
The negotiation ended smoothly, and Xu Kuang also successfully acquired more than 30,000 gold coins, tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of square kilometers of land.
Forio, who was dancing the most happily, didn't even have the guts to say a few harsh words.
…
"Everyone, welcome to visit us next time.".
A group of lords snorted coldly and left Mushroom Ridge as quickly as possible.
"[Task: Negotiation] has been completed and received rewards: twelve warrior-level teachers, two cult-level natural priest teachers, one cult-level totem priest teacher, one cult-level alchemy priest teacher, and one trainee-level magician teacher , unlock the 'automatic generation' function, professional experience × 1000.".
"You are ready to upgrade. Do you want to upgrade?".
"The automatic generation function has been unlocked. Do you want to check it out?".
Xu Kuang nodded and asked these people to find Xiao and ask Xiao to arrange work for them.
Xiao proved his loyalty, so he was appointed by Xu Kuang as the principal of Moguling Vocational Junior School. Xu Kuang served as the minister of education in Moguling and occasionally taught basic courses.
After arranging everything, Xu Kuang was ready to start verifying the automatic generation function.
Xu Kuang felt a little uneasy. He was worried that the automatic generation would also require additional technology tree fragments to unlock.
But it soon proved that his worries were unnecessary.
Xu Kuang entered the automatic generation function, and what he saw was a row of buttons, which were neatly arranged from production line 1 to production line 10086. However, only production line 1 can be used now, and the others are not qualified for unlocking.
Xu Kuang clicked on Production Line 1 and saw an extremely advanced mechanical production line, some of which he had never even seen before.
"Cuihua, how to automatically generate it?"
"To use the automatic function, you need to have the workpiece drawing and the same type of manufacturing materials. During the automatic generation, the workpiece will be automatically equipped with the corresponding alchemical array."
Xu Kuang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He quickly asked:
"Can this function get bonuses from the technology tree?".
"Can.".
Xu Kuang suddenly waved his fist, and he understood that the road to industrialization in Mogu Ridge had begun.
"Use the automatic generation function to create the firearm 'Type 56 semi-automatic rifle' x 100.".
"Insufficient materials, 3 cubic meters of wood, 300 kilograms of steel, and 2500 mana are needed."
Xu Kuang quickly found someone to collect materials. Not long after, the materials for making the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle appeared in front of Xu Kuang.
Xu Kuang clicked Make, and all the materials disappeared.
Xu Kuang could notice that his mana was beginning to decline at a very steady rate. If Xu Kuang did not take the initiative to replenish it, his mana would bottom out in about half a day.
However, Xu Kuang will not let his mana bottom out, and he is ready to take back the elixir at any time.
Xu Kuang glanced at it and found that he would be able to pick up the goods in about three days. The yield rate was... 25, and 2,500 experience points would be recorded.
Xu Kuang opened his mouth wide. He couldn't believe that the yield rate of this thing was so low.
Xu Kuang speculated that the yield rate should be related to the materials. He confidently asked Cuihua, and Cuihua's answer also confirmed his idea.
It does have something to do with the material. The steel currently produced in Moguling is far from up to standard. This is still the steel produced by the steel-making furnace that Xu Kuang modified according to modern standards. If it is replaced with other steel, Xu Kuang really doesn’t know. How low should the yield rate be?
But now there is no better way. Xu Kuang asked Huang Xiumei to purchase pig iron and iron ore while increasing efforts to cultivate corresponding talents.
It's a pity that the power level in Moguling is not up to standard and can only be used to power lathes. Otherwise, Xu Kuang really wants to build an electrolytic aluminum pool. With aluminum alloy, many things can be solved easily.
…
Three days later, Xu Kuang got up from the bed.
"Cuihua, sign in.".
"Sign in successfully and get the character 'Wang Chengzhu'.".
Xu Kuang opened his mouth wide. He looked at Wang Chengzhu in front of him and subconsciously opened his attribute panel.

Xu Kuang took a look at Wang Chengzhu's attribute panel and found that except for mortar teaching and mortar shooting, which were the highlights, the rest was of little use.
But Xu Kuang did not dislike Wang Chengzhu. He patted Wang Chengzhu on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Chengzhu, I will put you in the artillery platoon. If you teach a squad to fire artillery, then you will be the squad leader. If you teach a platoon, you will be the platoon leader."
Wang Chengzhu performed a military salute, turned and left.
Xu Kuang looked at his experience and found that it was enough for him to upgrade two more levels.
Xu Kuang chose to upgrade without hesitation.
"Upgraded successfully, obtained the number of draws x1 and the technology tree fragment x1." x2.
Xu Kuang looked at the technology tree fragments that appeared after the upgrade in astonishment, and felt a little happy in his heart.
He added two attribute points to his constitution. Just as he was about to check the attribute panel, he heard Cuihua's voice:
"The host has been upgraded to level 10 and will automatically unlock advanced tasks."
"Mission: Advance
Mission content: Establish the first Mushroom Ridge store in Baihua City, selling unlimited items.
Mission Difficulty: E
Mission reward: Unlock upgrade channel one. ".
Xu Kuang looked at the mission reward, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Upgrade channel one, which means there may be upgrade channels two, three, four, five and six in the future... There is no doubt that the mission will become more and more difficult...
Xu Kuang suddenly felt a little tired.
He clicked on the attribute panel and sought comfort in the increasing values.

Xu Kuang looked at his filled pocket and his smile gradually became wilder.
Now let alone 30,000 people, he can afford to support another 30,000 people.
