Chapter 47 Even Pigs Can Fly in the Sky Among Scavengers
With such a massive amount of resources poured in, even a pig could fly.
Just like Lu Mingang, who collected so many ingredients today, he is likely to become the second level 5 player after Shen Dixin.
Being able to rank on the regional leaderboard largely demonstrates that his development level is already among the top players.
Moreover, a large part of his low ranking is because he supplied all the resources to Chen Dixin, even the first-level workbench and the second-level ships.
One reason is that it's not needed, and the other is that Shen Dixin took it out for other purposes. Otherwise, she would at least have upgraded Lu Mingang's ship to improve the quality of the supply boxes and the ship's speed.
Finally, Chen Dixin set the price at five blue materials. Currently, among the mainstream materials, wood planks and plastics are of white quality, while iron nails and iron plates are of green quality.
Common blue materials include gold, silver, and copper. Of course, the price varies greatly between different materials. Blue materials used in electronic components and batteries are three to four times more expensive than the former.
Most players would exchange metal blocks for it, but for ordinary players, five metal blocks are not cheap; they might be one-tenth of the materials needed to upgrade their ships.
Before Feng Sheng Shui Qi could even react, the deal was done. He wondered if he had said something wrong. Why wasn't the shop owner playing by the rules? The meat was practically delivered to his mouth!
However, that purple equipment really tempted Shen Dixin. It was not only a top-quality purple item with special effects, but also the shoes she had always needed!
So much time has passed, and the crafting table has yielded many advanced items, mostly equipment, but I haven't gotten any purple shoes!
Chen Dixin has already disposed of three of the extra purple helmets and purple armor. Although Feng Shengshuiqi's current items cannot form a set with the stone equipment, it doesn't stop Chen Dixin from buying them and wearing them first.
With a purple stone helmet and purple stone armor in hand, Chen Dixin added some supplies and changed back her shoes, acting very professionally.
Legitimate purple equipment provides a four-point attribute bonus, and some have special effects, such as these boots.
【Item Name: Flash Boots】
Item Quality: Purple
【Durability: 800/800】
[Equipment Attributes: Strength 2, Agility 2]
[Equipment Effect: Flash: Can be actively used to release a "Flash" effect, blinding sighted creatures within range for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 3 days.]
[Item Description: Sparkling boots that birds will love!]
It's a pretty good control skill. Although the sea monsters look rugged, they still have the necessary functions, such as being blinded.
Needless to say, its strategic importance is negligible when facing humans; a single flash upon encounter would be enough to wipe them out instantly.
Wearing shiny boots, Chen Dixin quickly selected the hidden equipment appearance, which was just too eye-catching!
Now all her equipment is purple, which can trigger the most basic set effect!
Set bonus:
[1. Wearing equipment of the same grade grants +1 to Constitution. (Achieved)]
[2. Wearing equipment made from the same materials grants +1 to Constitution. (Not yet achieved)]
[3. Wear equipment of the same series. Constitution +1. (Not achieved)]
The Light Feather Boots are made of leather and cannot trigger the second set bonus. In fact, the second set bonus is largely a bonus of the third set bonus. Players can obtain a wide variety of equipment, and equipment made of the same material is rare.
Even equipment made of the same rattan might be rejected by the system simply because one is made of kudzu vine and the other of Chinese vine. Similarly, leather equipment includes sheepskin, cowhide, snakeskin…
It wasn't until a class that could craft equipment appeared among the players that the second set bonus became slightly easier to obtain.
While Shen Dixin was pondering how much information to reveal about the next disaster, Lu Mingang was chopping vegetables with the little elf.
After the sun came out, he was finally able to set up multiple campfires again to cook! His experience gain increased rapidly.
When it rains, he can only stay indoors, where he can put a lot of stones in the center to make a fire. The space is so small that he can only use one pot.
At this moment, his hands were busy, and his eyes were fixed on the system prompts.
[The player successfully prepared the dish – Fish Soup (Green), gaining 4 experience points.]
[The player successfully crafted the advanced dish—Fried Fish Fillet (Green) → Fried Fish Fillet (Blue), gaining 6 experience points.]
A pot of bird meat and coconut soup was simmering on the side, the soup bubbling away, and Lu Mingang was muttering to himself.
"Just 36 points short! Once this pot of bird meat soup is done, I should be able to reach level five!"
The bird meat was quickly cooked. After Lu Mingang reached level five, his ranking on the server leaderboard jumped up several places, standing out among the level four players around him.
Free attribute points... Shen Dixin had told him to first get the passive skills that reach ten points in Strength and Constitution.
Lu Mingang allocated two points to Strength, unlocking the passive skill [Severe Injury].
The choice of a secondary profession made him hesitate. Lu Mingang was very self-aware; how could he possibly choose a profession he liked just because he wanted to rely on someone powerful? He would definitely listen to Di Xin.
"Dixin, what secondary profession should I choose? I'm already level 5!" Lu Mingang asked, his eyes filled with anticipation for praise.
Chen Dixin lazily waited for his stamina to recover, then pulled up his attribute panel and chuckled, "This guy levels up pretty fast."
With enough resources, the chef is the fastest profession to level up. Even without the various title bonuses from the "Purifying the Mind" series, he managed to catch up by cooking day and night.
Shen Dixin didn't usually pay much attention to Lu Mingang's progress. As long as he could provide her with what she needed, she was fine with whatever else she did with the rest of her time. However, the benefits she received after signing the contract with Lu Mingang truly made her look at him in a new light.
Not to mention the plethora of dishes, the novel he's been intermittently updating up to chapter five in the shop is still contributing sporadic wooden planks every day.
Shen Dixin even considered hiring more contract workers, but after thinking it over, she gave up the idea. Her current resources only needed Lu Mingang to process the work, and there would be no work for any more people.
Other professions don't need to be based at home either; farmers, for example, can simply trade regularly.
The supplies on the sea are now almost saturated. Although ordinary supplies only appear in groups after a ship reaches level 5, Shen Dixin and his team are already able to pick up small amounts of palm leaves stacked together, two planks of wood stacked together, and plastic.
Having played the game to the mid-game in my previous life, Shen Dixin knew very well that unless you were a scavenger, once you reached a certain point, the total amount of resources on the sea would no longer change, and finding someone wouldn't necessarily be as worry-free as Lu Mingang.
Shen Dixin put her mind at ease and seriously considered the question he raised. She didn't expect that Lu Mingang would upgrade around the same time as her and even planned to adapt to the situation and have him switch to whatever job he needed.
Now...it seems they have everything they need! There are already three farmers, and the fisherwoman can do the work of two or three by herself, so the rest seem about the same.
Monster Hunter Shen Dixin will not let him change jobs. With Lu Mingang's strength, even if he has been receiving training from Shen Dixin, it is impossible for him to reach the level of being able to consistently handle two waves of monsters a day in just one week.
Not to mention he'd be facing the monster tide with Shen Dixing, wouldn't that just be making fun of her? Fighting four waves of monsters in one night?
What job do you want to switch to?
Shen Dixin acknowledged his efforts and chose to ask for his opinion.
Although Lu Mingang didn't make any decisions on his own, his judgment was sound.
"An astronomer or a scavenger, I suppose."
Because both of their S-level talents are geared towards resource gathering, even with their various businesses thriving, a significant portion of their daily income still comes from resources found at sea. With the scavenger bonus, this could increase even further.
Astronomers can directly boost their primary profession, and both have their own advantages.
Chen Dixin made the final decision: "Let's switch to the scavenger class." A simple and straightforward buff.
After changing jobs, Lu Mingang's attribute panel gained a buff that had no time limit.
[Frugality: You excel at finding treasures in trash; you're unwilling to give up any item, firmly believing they all have value. Supply crates on the sea increase in level by 1, increasing total supplies by 80%, with an additional 4% increase per level, reaching a maximum of 100% at this point.]
...
[Focus: Your bond with ingredients guarantees you can create extraordinary dishes! High-quality dishes can be upgraded, while ordinary dishes have a 1% chance of being upgraded.]
Together with the chef, there are a total of two passive professions.
Monster Hunter and Astronomer are the only two of the seven classes that do not have any passive buffs due to their class characteristics.
Meanwhile, supplies that had been cleared from the sea began to reappear one after another, indicating that they had already traveled a long way.
The newly promoted scavenger began to exert his strength, and Chen Dixin spotted three supply boxes at a glance.
She got up, rested, and got back to work!
