Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 559 The price of the long-range soul-guided cannon has been reduced.
It's quite normal for the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire to send people to discuss business.

Neither Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire nor the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire were fools. As the rulers of a nation bordering the Sun Moon Empire, they both knew how great the pressure on their border defenses was.

Therefore, no matter what technological breakthroughs Shrek Academy makes, whether it's a new type of flying soul tool or other equipment, as long as it can catch up with or even surpass the Sun Moon Empire, they will definitely purchase it without hesitation.

But the fact that the Douling Empire sent people to discuss business, and even a prince, is quite astonishing and really demonstrates the value of the Level 4 Fixed-Equipment Soul Guidance Cannon.

The initial strike range is 15 kilometers, which is the range of a normal level 7 fixed-load shell. However, Chen Ping used his cannon technology to directly extend this range to level 4 fixed-load shells!
This distance is enough for them to carry out beyond-visual-range attacks when facing the Soul Master Legion of the Sun Moon Empire, so that the Soul Master Legion of the Sun Moon Empire will be hit by artillery three times before they even enter the effective attack range!
No one could refuse to acquire a powerful weapon to fight against the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Corps, not even the Fighting Spirit Empire. It was practically a divine weapon that could determine who had the right to strike first in a battle!

Therefore, Chen Ping's Dan Pavilion, which he had set up early on, also expanded its recruitment, absorbing a large number of current and past graduates of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department. It began to mass-produce Level 4 fixed-mount Soul Guidance Cannons and bundled the sale of Level 4 fixed-mount shells made by the Liches that had been stockpiled for a long time.

Of course, as a 'Dan Pavilion', what they openly sell here are all kinds of powerful pills.

All the supplements that Chen Ping used to sell to Shrek Academy students were transformed into soldier enhancement packages and sold to the three great empires under Chen Ping's early planning.

The purple sweet potato pills that increase the cardiovascular capacity for long-distance runs, the demonic tree coffee pills that enhance soldiers' concentration during night battles, and various supplements that Huo Yuhao used when he was tormented by Zhou Yi before were all basically packed into the package.

Among the three empires, the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire each purchased two thousand cannons and twenty thousand bundled level-four fixed-position cannon shells, while the Douling Empire received a 50% discount.

After trying the remaining medicines, all parties purchased a batch according to the standard of 20,000 people.

This means that the production capacity of the Lich, the graduates of the Soul Guidance Department, and Shrek Academy's Thousand-Refined Metal is still in the ramp-up stage and has not been fully released; otherwise, they would have purchased even more.

It costs less than twice as much as a regular level 4 fixed-mount soul-guided cannon, has nearly eight times the firing range of a regular level 4 fixed-mount soul-guided cannon, and comes with a large number of level 4 fixed-mount cannon shells that are practically affordable, as well as various pills that can instantly enhance soldiers.

After signing the military sales order at Dan Ge and being seen off by Nana, Dai Yueheng and the others still felt as if they were in a different world.

They naturally found out that Dan Pavilion belonged to Yitiaolong Bath City, and that the real owner of Yitiaolong Bath City was Chen Ping, who was currently in seclusion for cultivation.

But this did not stop them from marveling that in just a few short years, Chen Ping had taken the use of forged metal to a new level, creating a cannon, a treasure that could be called a divine weapon.

The cannon's structure is not complicated. Even though Chen Ping upgraded it into a soul-guided cannon to adapt to fixed soul-guided shells, including the parts and core magic array, it only has a dozen or so main components. Almost anyone can replicate one.

Compared to the Tang Sect's soul tools, which were encrypted to the extreme, the cannon that Chen Ping created was practically defenseless.

But is that really the case? — Yes and no.

It is true that Chen Ping was able to easily figure out the entire structure of the Soul Guiding Cannon he created by relying on his memory of the cannon and the deduction of the elves.

However, being able to figure out the structure and create a decent-looking soul-guided cannon does not mean that the copied version can also achieve a range of at least 15 kilometers without exploding.

If you don't understand how to refine the thousand-refined metal, forcibly making a cannon will at most increase the range of conventional soul-guided cannons on the market by 50%, and even if you increase it by 100%, there is a risk of the barrel exploding!
To achieve the same 800% increase in range of a level 4 fixed-mount cannon shell as Chen Ping, you must forge a cannon with thousand-refined metal; otherwise, even the Sea God wouldn't be able to help!
This is the fundamental reason why Chen Ping dared to openly sell cannons, and even dared to send samples to the three great empires as soon as he arrived, bundling them with customized shells and supplement packages.

This thing is unique in the entire Douluo Continent; there's no other like it. Without upgraded, thousand-refined metal, you can't make a sufficiently cheap yet standard soul-guided cannon. If you don't want to buy it, there are plenty of other sellers who do.

Anyway, Dan Pavilion only has so many people, and its monthly production capacity is limited, so you can just divide it up as you see fit.

Bundled sales, scarcity marketing, and technology monopoly.

Although Chen Ping has been absent for the past few months, Nana, who received his personal guidance and instruction, and the other employees he rescued have clearly grasped the advanced tactics of capitalist business warfare.

In just a few months, they worked together to increase the size of Dan Pavilion by more than a hundred times through the arms business, and the financial scale far exceeded that of the original all-in-one bathhouse.

All I can say is that everyone needs to have some ideals.

These people, including Nana, all came from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Their cultivation level was at least Soul Master, and most of them were even Soul Kings or Soul Emperors, and they were all Soul Masters.

Even if they were paid a high salary by Chen Ping, they wouldn't feel comfortable working in the bathhouse forever!

What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?
It can be said that the value of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory is still increasing.

Once their physiological and material needs are met, what these people naturally pursue is the realization of their self-worth.

Now that they have such a great opportunity to realize their ambitions, even without Chen Ping, they have still exceeded the goals set by Chen Ping at the beginning.

Meanwhile, in just a few short months, the entire Dan Pavilion has become the top priority for graduates of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy's inner and outer academies.

With the deposits from the three great empires, Dan Pavilion's expansion of its recruitment went quite smoothly.

Of course, in addition to expanding recruitment, poaching is also inevitable, after all, DanGe is now rich, and its salaries are generally double those of its peers.

Of course, Chen Ping will need a couple of days to figure these things out, since he has just woken up in the Sea God Pavilion.

The dust fell in a flurry, causing Elder Xuan's gaze, which was fixed on Chen Ping, to flicker.

He seemed to move slightly. Or am I seeing things?

Upon seeing Chen Ping's body seem to tremble slightly, Elder Xuan's first thought was that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

After all, he had been waiting for far too long.

It's been almost four months. Chen Ping has been sitting here for almost four months!
