"It seems that we need to use some hard stuff to get them to take out the good stuff from their hands!"
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 a two-level upgrade, which is extremely powerful.
However, he didn't have much of this stuff in stock, only about three hundred yuan.
There's no way, that leader-level wild boar is as big as a small hill.
But most of the body is bones and internal organs, and the total weight of the animal meat is nearly 400 kilograms, so the meat yield is actually very high.
Scarcity makes things valuable.
So Cao Xing decided.
This batch of purple-grade wild boar meat can only be used to redeem recruitment scrolls, construction blueprints, equipment blueprints, skill books, etc.
So, Cao Xing began to set up the transaction information.
[Consignment Item: Purified Boss Wild Boar (Purple)]
【Inventory reserve: medium】
[Required items: Recruitment scroll, blueprints, skill books, etc.]
[Seller's note: I need various recruitment scrolls and blueprints. In addition, I also need skill books for Frost Mage, Aurora Knight, and Frost Iron Mechanic. Please private message me for trading.]
…
After thinking for a while, Cao Xing added two high-level materials, [Magic Pattern Stone] and [Eternal Gold Ingot].
Because he has a golden architectural blueprint in his hand, called [King's Altar], which can be used to resurrect the hero.
But the necessary materials have been difficult to gather.
It was a good opportunity to purchase these two materials from the survivors in District 174.
At this moment, the chat channel fell into silence after seeing Cao Xing put the beast meat on the shelves for the third time.
Then there was a huge explosion!
"Hiss! Such a strong wild boar, it actually directly increases strength by 7 points and agility by 3 points!"
"Yeah, this is outrageous, right? This level 5 green weapon in my hand only adds 5 points of strength!"
"Damn it! I'm going to use all my ice dragon marks to buy this beast meat!"
At this time, another survivor replied: "Don't even think about it. Boss Cao Xing won't accept materials like the Ice Dragon Mark this time. He will only accept blueprints, magic pattern stones, and everlasting gold ingots."
After hearing this, the other survivors also burst into laughter.
"Sure enough, Boss Cao Xing would not exchange such precious beast meat for ordinary materials."
"What are magic pattern stones and everlasting gold bars? I've never heard of them."
"Brothers, look for any blueprints you have hidden away, trade them with Boss Cao Xing, and then come to the trading channel to exchange the purple wild boar meat for ordinary materials and resell them. We will definitely buy them for you."
After hearing this, the other survivors suddenly realized something.
"That makes sense. If you guys resell them, you can make a lot of money!"
"Who has a Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll? One scroll is worth two pieces of beast meat, which is equivalent to 20 pieces of beast meat. I am willing to pay 100 Ice Dragon Marks for one piece. One piece of beast meat can be sold for 1,000 Ice Dragon Marks!"
"Haha, I have two Boar Warrior Recruitment Scrolls in my hand, I'm going to make a fortune this time!"
Cao Xing naturally knew that this kind of reselling phenomenon would occur.
But he didn't stop.
As mentioned before, he eats meat and also lets others drink some soup.
Cao Xing was unwilling to exchange this precious beast meat for ordinary materials, but the other survivors were willing.
Everyone got what they wanted, a win-win situation.
Of course, Cao Xing has already gained the greatest benefit.
Three consecutive transactions attracted the attention of most of the survivors in Area 174.
Soon, he received a large number of private messages.
Many people came up and posted their most treasured items.
I scanned it and found a lot of skill books.
For example: [Primary Mechanical Affinity], [Improved Self-Destruct Robot], [Ice Breaking Flying Blade], etc.
Since Cao Xing was going to train Tong Chuchu, he added the skill of a mechanic this time.
Most of them are ordinary skill books, and Cao Xing and Liu Muxue have already learned them.
For example, the Frost Mage's: Ice Wall, 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 agreed on the price with these people, he started the transaction directly.
[Transaction successful: You get [Basic Ice Control Skill Book], you lose [Purified Boss Boar Meat (Purple)]*3]
[Transaction successful: You get [Ez-6 Mark Chaser Skill Book], you lose [Purified Boss Boar (Purple)]*4]
[Transaction successful: You get the [Holy Shield Assault Skill Book], and you lose [Purified Boss Boar Meat (Purple)]*2]
[Transaction successful...]
…
A system prompt for refreshing the screen appears.
At this time, Cao Xing saw a drawing that caught his attention.
[Construction drawings of an intermediate alchemy workshop].
This thing is the key to making an improved version of the secret of life!
Now Cao Xing only needs to build it and then find a pharmacist to produce the secret medicine of life in batches!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing became a little excited!
After some bargaining, Cao Xing finally traded 11 pieces of animal meat with the other party.
This was also the most expensive drawing paper he had ever bought.
But it was obvious that he made a huge profit from this deal!
[Transaction successful: You get [Intermediate Alchemy Workshop Blueprint], you lose [Purified Boss Boar Meat (Purple)]*11]
After getting the drawings, Cao Xing showed great joy on his face.
"Okay, okay! Finally, everything is ready. All we need is a pharmacist."
"Let's see if we can find a town or village and bring back a pharmacist in the next two days."
Cao Xing's face was full of anticipation.
Then, he continued to click on the private messages and read them one by one.
He found many things that interested him.
For example, magic pattern stone and everlasting gold bars, 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 get [Basic Training Ground Construction Blueprint], you lose [Purified Forest Boar (Purple)]*2]
[Transaction successful: You get [Intermediate Cowshed Construction Blueprint], you lose [Purified Forest Boar (Purple)]*2]
[Transaction successful: You get [1st level boar warrior recruitment scroll], and you lose [Purified forest boar meat (purple)] *2.]
[Transaction successful: You get [Eternal Gold Bar*2], you lose [Purified Boss Wild Boar Meat (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 beast meat was used to exchange for recruitment scrolls, everlasting gold bars, magic pattern stones and other materials.
I took a look at the number of recruitment scrolls I got this time.
[First-level Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll*71]
[First-level Empire Archer Recruitment Scroll *5]
[First-level Empire soldier recruitment scroll *5]
"Very good. With the previous round of transactions and the recruitment scroll in my hand, I have more than enough troops to form a hundred-man wild boar warrior army!"
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 very profitable deal!
Then there are two materials: [Eternal Gold Ingot] and [Magic Pattern Stone].
This time the cumulative amount was changed.
【Hengjin Bar*64】
【Magic Pattern Stone*31】
"Building the King's Altar requires 100 Evergrande Ingots and 50 Magic Pattern Stones. We are still a little short."
Cao Xing felt a little regretful.
However, this is normal.
After all, Evergrande Ingots and Magic Pattern Stones are both very high-level materials.
It’s quite good to receive so many in District 174.
In addition to these, Cao Xing also exchanged for ten skill books and six drawings!
Then he began to check them one by one.
First, there are the three skill books of the Frost Mage.
They are: [Ice Soul Spinning Lance], [Ice Breaking Flying Blade], [Basic Ice Control]
I took a look at the introductions of the three skill books.
[Ice Soul Spear: Frost Mage Exclusive Skill Book (Blue)]
[Skill Effect: Throws a spear made of ice forward, causing it to spin at high speed like a windmill, causing multiple attacks*112% damage to all enemies along the way. Skill Cooldown Time: 60 seconds]
…
[Ice Breaking Blade: Frost Mage Exclusive Skill Book (Purple)]
[Skill Effect: Quickly condense 1~3 large ice balls with sharp icicles. After hitting the enemy, they explode and cause 273% damage, and then a large number of fragments burst out, causing 87% piercing damage to surrounding enemies. Skill Cooldown Time: 90 seconds]
…
[Basic 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 casting speed by 10%. At the same time, you can also try different skill combinations in actual combat.]
(Tip: By continuously compressing the Ice Ball, you can increase the explosion damage.)
…
"That's too fierce!"
For Cao Xing, these three skill books are all important skills for the Frost Mage.
It cost him 20 pieces of animal meat.
But it's worth it! It's worth it!
Especially [Basic Ice Control], although it is just a blue skill book, it is a key skill.
After learning this, you can have a preliminary understanding of the use of these ice magics and make different attack methods.
To put it in an analogy, before, when learning a skill book, releasing the skill was just copying the answer.
Now that you have learned [Basic Ice Control], you will understand how these answers were obtained and what the calculation formula is.
And thus learn more advanced ways of using it.
Cao Xing clapped his hands and studied the three skill books without hesitation.
All of a sudden, he felt a large amount of memories flooding into his mind.
In these memories, there are various combinations of ice elements and chanted spells.
It took Cao Xing nearly a minute or two to absorb these memories.
He opened his eyes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in surprise: "Oh my god... such a big reaction to learning a skill?"
"I feel like my brain is almost full..."
Cao Xing clapped his hands and continued checking.
Then came the three skill books of the Aurora Knight, which also cost Cao Xing nearly twenty pieces of beast meat!
They are [Holy Shield Assault], [Basic Swordsmanship 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 the aurora on the shield, quickly advance 5~30 meters, repel enemies on the path, and cause damage to them equal to ATK*89%, cooldown time 30 seconds]
…
[Basic Swordsmanship (Blue): Warrior, Aurora Knight and other melee skill books]
[Skill Effect: Deepen your understanding of swordsmanship. When using sword weapons, your attack power increases by 10% and your attack speed increases by 10%. At the same time, you can also make different combinations in actual combat.]
(Tip: If you use the tendon-breaking skill immediately after the Polar Warrior's stab skill ends, there will be unexpected results~)
…
[Defense Stance (Blue): Aurora Knight Tactics Skill Book]
[Skill Effect: Switch to full defense mode, unable to attack, the chance of being knocked away is reduced by 50%, defense is increased by 20%, no cooldown time.]
…
These three skill books are also very good, and can improve Liu Muxue's mobility, combat ability, and defensive ability.
Especially [Basic Swordsmanship Control], the importance of this skill is almost the same as [Basic Ice Control].
"Not bad, not bad."
And according to the system's prompts, Cao Xing suddenly had different ideas.
For example, after the Aurora Knight uses [Holy Shield Charge], can he follow up with [Shield Slam] to quickly charge in and control the enemy?
Clearly, this is possible.
"That's interesting... Can different skill combinations produce different effects?"
Cao Xing suppressed the thought in his mind and decided to let Liu Muxue try again when there was a chance.
…
Finally, there are the four skill books for the mechanic.
They are: [Primary Mechanical Affinity], [Ez-6 Mark Chaser], [Ez-8 Improved Suicide Robot], and [G-1 Corona].
Look at the attributes.
[Basic Mechanical Affinity (Blue): Frost Iron Mechanic Exclusive Skill Book]
[Skill Effect: When summoning a mechanical creature to fight, increase the duration by 20% and the mechanical attributes by 10%. When the duration of the summoned mechanical creature ends, return 20% of the materials.]
…
[Ez-6 Mark Chaser (Purple): Frost Iron Mechanic Exclusive Skill Book]
[Skill Effect: Consume some materials and mechanical force, summon a Mark Chaser robot with 120% of the attributes of the Mechanic. The Mark Chaser has skills such as Thermal Tracking, Thermal Acceleration, and Cutting Blade. Duration: 5 minutes, Cooldown: 10 minutes]
…
[Ez-8 Improved Self-Destruct Robot (Blue): Cold Iron Mechanic Exclusive Skill Book]
[Skill Effect: Advanced version of Suicide Robot. Consumes some materials to summon a Suicide Robot with a durability equal to its health value. It has simple attack skills. It will explode after the durability is exhausted, causing 280% explosion damage to enemies within five meters. Up to 2 can be summoned at the same time. Duration: 120 seconds, cooldown time 5 minutes]
…
[G-1 Corona (Purple): Frost Iron Mechanic Exclusive Skill Book]
[Skill Effect: Consumes a large amount of materials to summon a permanent Corona robot, which inherits 100% of the mechanic's attributes and has skills such as energy conversion, energy shock, and energy bullet.]
(Note: To summon a new Corona, the original Corona must be destroyed.)
…
"Very good, the mechanic profession is still very powerful, especially in the middle stage, after switching to a war mechanic, you will also learn three types of war machinery-specific blueprints."
"Then, through the machine factory, mass-produce these three machines, and one person can take on an entire army."
"Of course, the consumption of a mechanic after a battle is also astronomical. In addition, the production of these machines also requires a large amount of high-level materials."
"According to the current situation, a large region can probably only afford one high-end mechanic."
"And with my talent, the profession of mechanic can even undergo another qualitative change and become the true king of war!"
Cao Xing thought excitedly.
He had no regrets about not choosing the Cold Iron Mechanic.
In this world, every profession has its own strengths.
In the later stages, the Frost Mage can destroy a city with a forbidden spell. Isn't that cool?
In addition, there is also a mechanic Tong Chuchu in his territory.
It is the same with bringing her up.
After reading these ten skill books, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Then, there are the drawings.
Removed the construction drawings of [Intermediate Cowshed], [Intermediate Toilet], [Intermediate Alchemy Workshop], etc. whose functions can be guessed from their names.
Cao Xing checked the properties of the other three new drawings.
The first one is a drawing of the training ground.
【Construction drawings of the primary training ground】
[Building effect: You can build a training ground in your territory to train your subjects and increase their experience points.]
【Area: 120 square meters】
[Armor: 40]
Durability: 1200
[Maximum number of trainees: 20]
[Training 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: Citizens with sword control, spear control and other skills, who serve as instructors for training, have a small chance of helping other citizens learn the same type of weapon control.)
…
Cao Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful look, "It's interesting..."
"This thing has a similar effect to the training camp, except that it allows other citizens to learn skills and gain experience points."
"In that case, if Asam is made the instructor, it means that others will also learn the skill of Frostwolf Swordsmanship, but the probability is a little small."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't learn any skills. When the polar people level up, their physical attributes will also improve, so they can work more efficiently."
The appearance of this drawing gave Cao Xing different ideas.
In the future, when those polar people or Cao Yi have free time, we will arrange for them to go there for training.
When a war really breaks out, these subjects can just pick up their weapons and join the battlefield.
"Not bad, not bad."
Cao Xing continued to check.
【Easy-level hot spring building construction drawings】
[Building effect: You can build a hot spring hall in your territory, which can be divided into male and female baths. ]
【Area: 270 square meters】
[Armor: 50]
Durability: 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!"
…
