Chapter 4 Discovering the Nomads



The setting sun slowly sank from the horizon, and the afterglow cast a blood-red sky, adding a sense of vicissitudes and desolation to the wasteland.

The eerie, white, and miserable fortress of bones stood silently, waiting for the last light to fade away and darkness to come.

Li Ziyu, who was excited, got up very early today. Instead of waiting until the sun sets as usual, he ended his dormant mode early and raised the mobile fortress.

Through the windows of the fortress, you can see a new building on the platform outside. It is a building with a stone base and bone walls, like a small warehouse. Firelight can be seen faintly through the gaps. There are two thick doors in the front. The left door is painted with a sword, and the right door is painted with a knife. The two doors are closed, the swords are crossed, and the atmosphere is murderous.

The real weapon workshop is a scaled-down version of the weapon workshop model in the system, with all the details exactly the same.

Click on the weapon workshop, and you will see various cold weapons such as knives, swords, bows, crossbows, hammers, axes, guns, etc. However, these weapons cannot be manufactured now. They need to be researched and developed before they can be manufactured and equipped to the skeleton undead, allowing the skeleton undead to complete their initial job change.

Developing weapons requires soul energy. The soul energy required for developing each weapon is different. The cheapest is the knife, which only requires 30 units of soul energy to develop.

[Small Bone Knife: The most convenient and easy-to-obtain weapon. Believe me, there won't be another weapon this good, cheap, and easy to use.]

[R&D requirements: Soul energy*30 units]

After looking at the requirements for other weapons, Li Ziyu felt that the system introduction was right. The bone knife was the best choice. He came to this conclusion entirely because... he was poor!

According to the summary of the past three days, there is nothing that does not require the consumption of resources. Although it may not be very expensive, he is poor and lives in the wilderness with limited resources, so he has to save wherever he can.

At this stage, the bone knife seems to be a very good choice. Li Ziyu no longer hesitated and decisively chose to develop the bone knife.

It’s more like unlocking than research and development. After consuming 30 units of soul energy, you can make a bone knife in the weapon workshop.

As summarized, making a bone knife also requires consumption, which requires bones. Fortunately, 1 unit of bones can produce five bone knives, which is really good value for money.

Let’s produce five bone knives first to see the effect. Li Ziyu gave the order, and the weapons workshop started to operate, making a tinkling sound and the sound of sharpening knives.

It didn't take long for the system to prompt that the bone knife had been completed and stored in a temporary warehouse.

Is that it?

Shouldn't I unlock a profession or something, such as the Skeleton Warrior, etc.? Li Ziyu was a little confused. He waited for a while, but there was no system prompt. Then he confirmed that he really didn't unlock the profession, he just made a weapon.

Well, when it comes to being stingy, I'm not as good as you.

Although he complained in his heart, he still couldn't help but ask the undead to get the newly made bone knife from the temporary warehouse.

Li Ziyu took the bone knife from the undead and looked at it carefully in his hand.

The handle of the bone knife is about half a meter long. It is not as smooth as jade as imagined, as if it had been polished by more than a dozen old men. Instead, it is roughly made and dark in color. The bright spot is on the blade. Although the blade is rough, it is unexpectedly sharp and has a chilling feeling.

A simple evaluation is that it is practical, but not good-looking. For the undead, this is enough. What they need is practicality. A knife is used to kill people, so why does it have to be so good-looking?

He waved and brought five undead, and asked them to change into bone knives. Well, it felt okay. From a noob with bare hands, he turned into little Karami standing with a knife.

If the undead's fearlessness of death is taken into account, the danger factor of the knife-wielding undead rises sharply. At least Li Ziyu feels that his resources have not been wasted and have been improved.

Fifteen more bone knives were made. Including the previous five, Li Ziyu had equipped 20 knife-wielding undead.

There are still some resources, which can be used to equip more knife-wielding undead, but Li Ziyu plans to try the effect first. What if it is useless and not much different from the undead with bare hands? Then why waste resources? Just get more ordinary undead.

By this time the sun had completely set, and darkness enveloped the wasteland.

"Go! Hunt!"

After taking a look at the knife-wielding undead standing in two rows, Li Ziyu waved his hand decisively and gave an order that all the mules and horses must be taken out for a walk.

The mobile fortress lit up with flickering soul fire, and the bone wheels began to rotate, making a crackling sound as they rolled over the wasteland, and headed towards the wilderness.

I don’t know if it was because of bad luck, but after walking for almost two hours, I still didn’t find any prey. Li Ziyu was very unhappy.

Without prey, there will be no resources. Without resources, development will be delayed. With delayed development, one's sense of security will be reduced. The most important thing is that he just got 20 new toys and hasn't tried out their effects yet!

Just when Li Ziyu was becoming increasingly unhappy and his eyes were becoming gloomy, an undead emerged from the wall and staggered in front of him, with soul fire flickering in his eyes, conveying news.

"Homeless people spotted ahead."

Nomads are a general term for people wandering in the wilderness, including those who have lost their homes, caravans on the road, robbers and hunters, with a variety of identities.

The alien world is not just home to behemoths, monsters, wild beasts and other travelers, there are also a large number of indigenous people of different races. These indigenous people have forces such as tribes and city-states, and there are even people in the chat channel claiming the existence of a country.

Li Ziyu would not easily provoke the indigenous forces. After all, he had only traveled through time for a short time and his foundation was not strong. He would not have the upper hand in fighting with those indigenous people. Most of the time, he chose to hunt wild beasts.
