Chapter 173: Hard goods, purchasing a large number of blueprints and skill books
“It seems that we need something hard to get them to take out the good stuff!”
Then, Cao Xing opened the [Market] and prepared to put [Purified Forest Wild Boar (Purple)] on the shelves.
This is also the beast meat with the strongest attributes he has ever put on the shelves.
It can directly increase 7 points of strength and 3 points of agility! A piece of wild boar meat is equivalent to two levels of improvement, which is extremely powerful.
However, he didn’t have much reserves for this thing, only more than three hundred yuan.
There is no way, even though the boss-level wild boar is as big as a small mountain.
But most of the body is composed of bones and internal organs, and the animal meat adds up to nearly 400 kilograms. In fact, the meat yield rate is already very high.
Things are rare and valuable.
So Cao Xing decided.
This batch of purple-grade wild boar meat is only used to exchange for recruitment scrolls, construction blueprints, equipment blueprints, skill books, etc.
So Cao Xing began to set transaction information.
[Consignment Item: Purified Boss Boar Boar (Purple)]
[Inventory reserve: medium amount]
[Required items: recruitment scrolls, drawings, skill books, etc. 】
[Seller’s note: We need various recruitment scrolls and blueprints. In addition, we also need the skill books of Frost Mage, Aurora Knight, and Cold Iron Mechanic. Chat with me privately to trade. 】
…
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing added the two advanced materials [Magic Stone] and [Eternal Gold Ingot].
Because he also has a golden architectural drawing in his hand called [Altar of the King], which can be used to resurrect heroes.
However, it has been difficult to assemble the required materials.
It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to purchase these two materials from the survivors in the entire area 174.
At this moment, the chat channel fell into a moment of silence after seeing Cao Xing’s third offering of animal meat.
Then there was a strong sensation! “Hiss! Such a strong wild boar meat, it actually directly increases strength by 7 points and agility by 3 points!”
“Yeah, this is too outrageous, isn’t it? The level 5 green weapon in my hand only has 5 points of added strength!”
“Wori! I’m going to spend all my ice dragon marks to buy this kind of beast meat!”
At this moment, another survivor replied: “Don’t think about it. Boss Cao Xing will not accept materials such as the Ice Dragon Seal this time, only blueprints, magic stone, and eternal gold ingots.”
The other survivors also laughed after hearing this.
“Sure enough, Boss Cao Xing would not exchange such precious animal meat for ordinary materials.”
“What are magic grain stones and eternal gold ingots? Have you never heard of them?”
“Brothers, look through the drawings you have at the bottom of the box and trade them with Mr. Cao Xing. Then come to the trading channel and replace the purple wild boar meat with ordinary materials and resell them. We will definitely take pictures for you.”
Hearing this, the other survivors suddenly realized something.
“That makes sense. You can make a lot of money by reselling it!”
“Does anyone else have a wild boar warrior recruitment scroll? One scroll is exchanged for 2 pieces of animal meat. It is equivalent to directly exchanging 20 pieces of animal meat. I am willing to pay 100 ice dragon marks to buy one. A piece of animal meat can be sold. 1,000 copies of the Ice Dragon Mark!”
“Haha, I have 2 wild boar warrior recruitment scrolls in my hand. I will make a fortune this time!”
Cao Xing naturally knew that this reselling phenomenon would occur.
But he didn’t stop it.
As mentioned before, if he eats meat, he also wants others to drink some soup.
Cao Xing was unwilling to replace this precious animal meat with ordinary materials, but the other survivors were willing.
Everyone gets what they want, a win-win situation.
Of course, Cao Xing has already earned the biggest benefit.
Three consecutive transactions attracted the attention of almost most of the survivors in Area 174.
Soon, he received a large number of private messages.
Many people came up and posted the treasures they had at the bottom of the box.
After taking a quick look, I found a lot of skill books.
For example: [Elementary Mechanical Affinity], [Improved Self-Destruction Robot], [Ice-breaking Flying Blade], etc…
Since Cao Xing was going to train Tong Chuchu, he added the skills of a mechanic this time.
Most of them are ordinary skill books, and both Cao Xing and Liu Muxue have already learned them.
For example, the Frost Mage’s: Ice Wall, Big Ice Spear, Ice Ball, and the Aurora Knight’s Holy Healing, Shield Counter, etc.
However, there are some skill books that I haven’t learned yet, and their attributes are pretty good.
After Cao Xing negotiated the price with these people, he started the transaction directly.
[Transaction successful: You obtained [Elementary Ice Control Skill Book], and you lost [Purified Boss Boar Boar (Purple)]*3] [Transaction successful: You obtained [Ez-6 Mark Chaser Skill Book], You lost [Purified Boss Boar Boar (Purple)]*4][Transaction Successful: You obtained [Aegis Assault Skill Book], you lost [Purified Boss Boar Boar (Purple)]*2][Trade Successful …]…
A system prompt to refresh the screen appears.
At this time, Cao Xing saw a drawing that attracted his great attention.
[Intermediate medicine refining workshop construction drawings].
This thing is the key to making an improved version of the Secret Medicine of Life! Now Cao Xing only needs to build it and then find an alchemist to make the secret medicine of life in batches! Thinking of this, Cao Xing became a little excited!
After some haggling, Cao Xing finally made a deal with the other party using 11 pieces of animal meat.
This is also the most expensive drawing he has ever purchased.
But obviously, he made a lot of money from this deal!
[Transaction successful: You obtained [Intermediate Alchemy Workshop Blueprint], and you lost [Purified Boss Boar Boar (Purple)]*11] After receiving the blueprint, Cao Xing showed strong joy on his face.
“Okay, okay! Finally everything is ready, all we need is the alchemist.”
“Let’s see what happens in the next two days. Can we find a town or village and bring back an alchemist?”
Cao Xing looked forward to it.
Then, he continued to click on the private chat messages and checked them one by one.
He found a lot of things that interested him.
For example, magic stones and eternal gold ingots, as well as some architectural drawings and so on.
Cao Xing also started bargaining and then bought it at a reasonable price.
[Transaction successful: You obtained [Elementary Training Ground Construction Blueprint], you lost [Purified Forest Boar Boar (Purple)]*2] [Transaction Successful: You obtained [Intermediate Cowshed Construction Blueprint], and you lost [ Purified Forest Wild Boar (Purple)]*2][Transaction Successful: You obtained [First-Level Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll*1], and you lost [Purified Forest Wild Boar (Purple)]*2.][Transaction Successful : You obtained [Eternal Gold Ingot*2], and you lost [Purified Boss Wild Boar (Purple)]*1] [Transaction successful…] This time, Cao Xing used 324 pieces of animal meat in exchange for a large amount of supplies.
Most of the animal meat was used in exchange for recruitment scrolls, eternity gold ingots, magic stone and other materials.
I took a look at the number of recruitment scrolls obtained this time.
[First-level Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll*71]
[First-order Empire Archer Recruitment Scroll*5]
[First-order Imperial Soldier Recruitment Scroll*5]
“Very good. Taking into account the previous wave of transactions and the recruitment scroll in my hand, it is enough to assemble an army of one hundred wild boar warriors!”
A look of satisfaction appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.
Although these scrolls consumed a lot of his purple beast meat, it was obvious that this was a hugely profitable business!
Then there are the two materials [Eternal Gold Ingot] and [Magic Stone].
This time the cumulative exchange has been achieved.
【Eternal Gold Ingot*64】
[Magic Stone*31]
“Building the King’s Altar requires 100 eternity gold ingots and 50 magic grain stones, which is still a little short.”
Cao Xing felt a little regretful.
However, this is also normal.
After all, Eternal Gold Ingots and Magic Pattern Stones are very high-grade materials.
It’s pretty good to receive so many in District 174.
In addition to these, Cao Xing also received ten skill books and six blueprints! Then, he started to look at them one by one.
First, there are the three skill books of the Frost Mage.
They are: [Ice Soul Spin Gun], [Ice-Breaking Flying Blade], [Basic Ice Control]
I glanced at the introductions of the three skill books.
[Ice Spin Gun: Frost Mage Exclusive Skill Book (Blue)]
[Skill effect: Throws a spear made of ice forward, causing it to rotate at high speed like a windmill, causing multiple damage of attack power * 112% to all enemies along the way. Skill cooldown time: 60 seconds]
…
[Ice-breaking Flying Blade: Frost Mage Exclusive Skill Book (Purple)]
[Skill effect: Quickly condense 1~3 large ice balls with sharp ice. After hitting the enemy, they detonate and cause 273% damage, and then splash out a large number of fragments, causing 87% puncture damage to surrounding enemies. Skill cooldown time: 90 seconds]
…
[Elementary Ice Control: Frost Mage Exclusive Skill Book (Blue)]
[Skill effect: Deepen your understanding of the power of ice, increase the damage of all ice attacks by 10%, and increase the casting speed by 10%. At the same time, you can also try different skill combinations in actual combat. 】
(Tips: Explosion damage can be increased by continuously compressing the ice ball.)…
“Too fierce!”
These three skill books are all important skills for Frost Mage to Cao Xing.
But well worth it! It’s worth so much! Especially [Basic Ice Control], even though it is just a blue skill book, it is a key skill.
After learning this, you can initially understand the use of these ice magics and make different attack methods.
For example, after studying the skill book before, to release the skills was to copy the answers.
And now that you have learned [Basic Ice Control], you can understand how these answers are obtained and what the calculation formula is.
So as to learn more advanced application methods.
Cao Xing clapped his hands and studied these three skill books without hesitation.
In an instant, he felt a large number of memories pouring into his mind.
In these memories, there are various combinations of ice elements and chanting spells.
It took nearly a minute or two before Cao Xing absorbed these memories.
He opened his eyes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in surprise: “I’m going to… learn a skill with such a big reaction?”
“It feels like my brain is almost full…”
Cao Xing clapped his hands and continued to check.
Then there are the three skill books of Aurora Knight, which also cost Cao Xing nearly twenty pieces of beast meat! They are [Holy Shield Assault], [Basic Sword Control], and [Defensive Stance].
As usual, I checked the properties of the next three skill books.
[Holy Shield Assault (Purple): Aurora Knight Exclusive Skill Book]
[Skill effect: Concentrate the power of aurora on the shield, quickly rush forward 5~30 meters, repel enemies on the path, and cause damage equal to attack power * 89%, cooling time is 30 seconds]
…
[Elementary Sword Mastery (Blue): Warrior, Aurora Knight and other melee skill books]
[Skill effect: The understanding of swordsmanship is deepened. When using sword weapons, the attack power is increased by 10% and the attack speed is increased by 10%. At the same time, you can also make different combinations in actual combat. 】
(Tips, at the moment when the polar warrior’s stabbing skill ends, if you connect the tendon breaking skill, there will be unexpected effects~)
…
[Defensive Stance (Blue): Aurora Knight Tactical Skill Book]
[Skill effect: Switch to full defensive form, unable to attack, the probability of being knocked away is reduced by 50%, defense power is increased by 20%, and there is no cooldown time. 】
…
These three skill books are also very good, which can improve Liu Muxue’s mobility, actual combat ability, and defense ability.
Especially [Elementary Sword Control], this skill is almost as important as [Elementary Ice Control].
“Not bad, not bad.”
And following the system prompts, Cao Xing suddenly had a different idea.
For example, after Aurora Knight uses [Holy Shield Assault], can he then follow [Shield Slam] to quickly rush in and control the enemy? Clearly, this is possible.
“It’s interesting… Can different skill combinations produce different effects?”
Cao Xing suppressed his thoughts and decided to let Liu Muxue try again if he had a chance.
…
Finally, there are the four skill books for mechanics.
They are: [Elementary Mechanical Affinity], [Ez-6 Mark Chaser], [Ez-8 Improved Self-Destruct Robot], [G-1 Corona].
I looked at the properties.
[Elementary Mechanical Affinity (Blue): Exclusive Skill Book for Cold Iron Mechanics]
[Skill effect: When summoning mechanical creatures to fight, the duration is increased by 20% and the mechanical attributes are increased by 10%. When the duration of the summoned mechanical creatures ends, 20% of the materials are returned. 】
…
[Ez-6 Mark Chaser (Purple): Exclusive Skill Book for Cold Iron Mechanic]
[Skill effect: Consume part of the materials and mechanical power to summon a Mark Chaser robot that inherits 120% of the mechanics’ attributes. Mark Chaser has thermal energy tracking, thermal energy acceleration, cutting blade and other skills. Duration: 5 minutes, cooling time :10 minutes]
…
[Ez-8 Improved Self-Destruction Robot (Blue): Exclusive Skill Book for Cold Iron Mechanic]
[Skill effect: Advanced version of the self-destruction robot. It consumes part of the materials to summon a self-destruction robot with a durability value equal to the health value. It has simple attack skills. It detonates after the durability value is exhausted, causing a 280% explosion to enemies within five meters. Damage, up to 2 people can be summoned at the same time, duration: 120 seconds, cooling time 5 minutes]
…
[G-1 Corona (Purple): Cold Iron Mechanic’s Exclusive Skill Book]
[Skill effect: Consume a large amount of materials to summon a permanent Corona robot, which inherits 100% of the mechanics’ attributes and has skills such as energy conversion, energy impact, and energy bombs. 】
(Note: If you need to summon a new Corona, you need to destroy the original Corona.)…
“Very good. The mechanic profession is still very powerful, especially in the mid-term. After changing to a war mechanic, you will also learn three exclusive blueprints for war machinery.”
“Then through the machine factory, these three types of machinery are manufactured in large quantities, and one person can deal with an army.”
“Of course, the cost of a mechanic’s battle is astronomical. In addition, making these machines also requires a lot of high-end materials.”
“Based on the current situation, a large district can probably only support one high-end mechanic.”
“And with my talent, the profession of mechanic can even change qualitatively again and become a real king of war!”
Cao Xing thought excitedly.
He did not regret that he did not choose the Cold Iron Mechanic.
In this world, every profession has its own strengths.
When Frost Mage reaches the later stage, isn’t it cool to destroy a city with a forbidden spell? In addition, there is also a mechanic named Tong Chuchu in his territory.
The same goes for raising her up.
After reading these ten skill books, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Then, there are those drawings.
Remove the [Intermediate Cowshed], [Intermediate Toilet], [Intermediate Alchemy Workshop] and other construction drawings whose functions can be seen just by looking at their names.
Cao Xing checked the properties of the other three new drawings.
First of all, the first one is a training ground drawing.
[Construction drawings of primary training ground]
[Building effect: A training ground can be built in the territory so that the citizens can train in it and increase experience points. 】
[Occupied area: 120 square meters]
[Armor: 40]
[Durability value: 1200]
[Maximum number of people training: 20 people]
[Training to gain experience points: 1 hour/500 experience points]
[Materials required for construction: wood*200, stone*100, iron*50, copper*20, primary element crystal*20]
[Construction time: 8:43]
[Staff: Instructor 0/1]
(Note: Territory citizens who have sword control, spear control and other skills, serve as instructors for training, and there is a small probability that other territorial citizens will also learn the same type of weapon control.)…
A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes, “It’s a bit interesting…”
“This thing has the same effect as a training camp, except that it allows other citizens to learn skills and gain experience points.”
“In this case, if Assam is allowed to serve as an instructor, it means that other people will also learn the skill of Frost Wolf Swordsmanship, but the probability is a bit small.”
“Of course, it doesn’t matter if you can’t learn the skills. As those polar people increase their level, their physical attributes will also increase, so they will work more efficiently.”
The appearance of this drawing gave Cao Xing a different idea.
In the future, when those polar people or Cao Yi are free, arrange for them to go there for training.
When there is a battle, these territorial citizens can join the battlefield by picking up their weapons.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Cao Xing continued to check.
[Construction drawings of junior hot spring pavilion]
[Building effect: A hot spring pavilion can be built in the territory, which can be divided into men’s and women’s baths. 】
[Occupied area: 270 square meters]
[Armor: 50]
[Durability value: 1500]
[Maximum capacity: 50 people]
[Materials required for construction: stone*500, wood*200, iron*100, mithril*10, primary element crystal*20, electronic component*5]
[Construction time: 17 hours and 32 minutes]
…
“hot spring……”
“This is a good thing!”
