"What?! It's so cheap! The system is really generous!" Jin Chen exclaimed in surprise.
After the disaster of corpse demons, although the main materials for foundation-building liquid have been available in large quantities, the price is still extremely high!
One reason is that its refining is monopolized by the lord, and the other is that except for the main material, the other materials are not rare and precious, but that was before. Now they need to go deep into the wilderness to collect them, which increases the cost a lot!
So the Foundation Building Fluid in the Water Village was only cheaper than before the Corpse Demon Disaster. The Foundation Building Fluid produced by the system was truly cheap! It was actually the same price as the Healing Fluid!
This shows that for the system, refining such a one-star item is indeed not difficult! The refining difficulty and cost are basically the same.
"Okay, have you rested enough? Time to start hunting the zombies."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Brother Yuan." Jin Chen hadn't rested well yet, but he was ready for a fight. He had absorbed most of the nutrient solution during this time, and his strength had recovered to about 60-70%.
Fang Yuan and Jin Chen started hunting zombies. Jin Chen's role was not great, but it was not without effect.
The cooperation of two people is indeed faster than Fang Yuan alone. Moreover, as they continue to hunt zombies and accumulate combat experience, Jin Chen becomes more and more powerful.
The two of them hunted zombies faster and faster, and their efficiency became higher and higher.
As the tasks are completed continuously, the contribution value continues to increase, the redemption page is refreshed, and then goods are redeemed one by one, continuously increasing strength.
Fang Yuan also told Jin Chen about the experience of refreshing the redemption page. This is also the advantage of having predecessors. He has avoided many detours and can use the system quickly and correctly to increase his strength.
At dusk, Fang Yuan completed the task and refreshed a new task.
"Hunted down 100 Iron-level corpse demons. Reward: 500 Contribution Points. 50/100."
100 Iron-level Corpses should be one of the prerequisites for a one-star mercenary to advance to a two-star mercenary. The other is to advance to a warrior. Both of these prerequisites are expected to be achieved tomorrow, which means that the mercenary may be able to advance to a two-star mercenary tomorrow.
"However, while archers are powerful, they do consume a lot of resources. I have a magical quiver that can repair arrows, but arrows can't be used forever. After about three uses, the crosshairs will lose their accuracy and easily miss. The more times they are used, the more likely they are to miss. After ten uses, they will be completely useless and unusable."
Furthermore, some arrows were shot too far off target, lost and unable to be retrieved. So, even with the magical quiver's repair function, five arrows were still used in half a day. There were also a dozen or so arrows that had been used more than three times and were prone to miss targets. Fang Yuan had specially stored them in a separate space.
"The most important thing about a bow and arrow is the sight. If it's easy to miss, the arrow will naturally be useless."
The reason Fang Yuan kept them was because he was afraid of being broke. He figured he might need them later, and since there was still some free space, he decided to keep them. However, after Fang Yuan realized he was missing his aim, he decisively gave up on using them.
This was also the result of his family's upbringing. Everything about archers was extremely demanding! Furthermore, the system had lowered the quality of arrows to the lowest possible level, allowing Fang Yuan to no longer worry about arrows, which gave him the confidence to do this.
…
As they were about to return to the water village, Jin Chen stepped forward to thank Fang Yuan. If it weren't for Fang Yuan's support, Jin Chen wouldn't have grown so quickly. Naturally, Jin Chen was very grateful to Fang Yuan.
Jin Chen, who is good at communication, always expresses his gratitude in a sincere and appropriate manner, which is very helpful to Fang Yuan.
"You're welcome. Let's say goodbye here and meet at the agreed place tomorrow."
Fang Yuan felt that the first stage of foundation building had been completed and he was about to enter the second stage. It was best not to fight or train during this stage.
In addition, one day, he didn't know what was happening to his mother and younger brother at home. At this time, having completed the goal set for the day, he was eager to go home.
"Okay!" Jin Chen nodded in response.
Watching Fang Yuan speed away, he waited for a while before joining the crowd and returning to the water village.
"Jin Chen? You're not dead?! That's great!" As soon as Jin Chen crossed the suspension bridge and entered the gate of the water fort, he was immediately discovered by a noble young man who was guarding a restaurant next to the gate.
"Che Yi, why are you here?"
"Aren't I still waiting for you?"
"wait for me?"
"Yes! You forgot, we made a bet to land in the wilderness to see who could last longer. We didn't expect you to never come back. We were scared and thought something happened to you. They went back and I stayed to guard. When I found out you returned safely, I wrote them a letter. Let them feel at ease!" Che Yi said with a smile.
Che Yi's words were naturally embellished. Jin Chen estimated that they would have run away long ago, leaving Che Yi, a stubborn and honest man, to take the blame for them.
Of course, this is based on the premise that Jin Chen died in the wilderness. If Jin Chen came back alive, they would naturally say the same thing.
Jin Chen patted Che Yi on the shoulder. This silly boy was still saying good things about others.
When did they return? Che Yi was rather timid and didn't participate, existing only as a recorder. Therefore, he stayed behind to wait for Jin Chen, a requirement of the game's rules. As a recorder, he really needed to stay until the end.
"Let me see. Oh, they came back together after about half an hour." Che Yi replied while flipping through the records.
Jin Chen originally asked casually, but at this moment, he felt that something seemed to be wrong!
"You mean, they came back together?"
"Yeah! They said they looked for you but couldn't find you, so they came back."
Jin Chen's eyes flashed coldly, but he smiled and said, "I didn't find them either."
No, they weren't looking for me at all! Besides, I had just entered the wasteland and was chased by a horde of zombies. Something was amiss! What bad luck! What a coincidence!
I thought to myself, "Someone is trying to kill me! I just don't know who's behind this."
Jin Chen felt that he was good at socializing and was kind to others, and had never offended anyone!
"No matter who you are, I will find you!"
"Let's go home. Your family may have been worried about you for a long time." Che Yi said.
"Okay, let's go home!" Jin Chen exclaimed.
Jin Chen had never felt this way before. The word "home" actually made him feel so kind and warm.
So much had happened today! He had experienced life and death, and had a wonderful encounter. The experience of half a day was more exciting than his ordinary life!
