"Our recipe templates are all scavenged from the wild far away from our territory, and some are even brought out from the abyss at the risk of their lives, so the prices are a bit higher than other stores."
What the hell?
Yang Chen clicked on the item because he saw that the price was relatively low, but as soon as he entered the store, a message popped up.
Browsing the weapon recipes in some product lists, I found that they are indeed more expensive than the market prices, but they are all of higher-end grades and are ranked in the top three in sales volume.
"Air Gun: Compresses air with crystal core energy and then releases it, creating extremely powerful destructive power. Price: 50,000 crystal cores."
"Lightning Bow: The arrows fired from this bow are high-energy lightning compressed from crystal core energy. Where they strike, they instantly generate a voltage of up to 100,000 volts and a temperature of 6,000 degrees Celsius, instantly penetrating and dissolving the hard shell. Price: 560,000 crystal cores."
“…”
…
"They are indeed weapon formulas of very good quality."
Weapon formulas like this only need to be purchased once, allowing the machine to learn the forging method. Subsequent weapon production only requires sufficient materials for mass production.
After much consideration, Yang Chen purchased the recipe templates for the lightning bow, air gun, and high-vibration dagger.
"You have successfully entered the template: Lightning Bow. Learning successful!"
"Lack of materials, unable to forge."
"You have successfully entered the template: Air Gun. Learning successful!"
"Lack of materials, unable to forge."
"You have successfully entered the template: High Concussion Dagger. Learning successful!"
"Lack of materials, unable to forge."
In front of the machine in the arsenal, Yang Chen input the recipe template, but because there was not enough material, he could not produce anything.
"Weapons can be made of two materials: ordinary materials and crystal materials."
"Ordinary materials are smelted products of various metals, such as iron ingots, steel ingots, copper ingots, etc. Crystal materials, such as crystal cores, red soul crystals, mica crystals, etc."
"The common material required for these three recipes is a first-level copper ingot. This basic material can be found in the wild or purchased cheaply on the market."
"But materials beyond the basics are harder to come by. They can be found at auctions, but they don't appear often. You still have to hunt them in the wild yourself."
Yang Chen checked the material encyclopedia atlas.
The Lightning Bow additionally requires Aquamarine, which can be found on Aquamarine Pythons outside the territory.
The extra crystal cores used in the air gun can be used as long as the purity is sufficient.
High-vibration daggers require additional diamond crystals, which can only be mined through mines. However, diamond crystals have been found in a mine near the territory, and you can enter and mine for a small price.
"First, mine diamond crystals and forge a high-vibration dagger. Then, go out into the wild and kill aquamarine pythons to obtain aquamarine crystals. As for high-purity crystal cores, they can be obtained by killing ordinary monsters."
After making a simple plan, Yang Chen took the three people around him and left the territory again.
They walked some distance to the west of the territory and soon came into sight of a protected mining area.
There is a toll booth at the door, guarded by people from the money house.
"This is a mining area occupied by a money house. You must hand over 50,000 crystal cores before entering." The person in charge of the toll station said in a businesslike manner.
However, when he swiped Yang Chen's ID card and prepared to deduct the amount, he found that the fee of 50,000 crystal cores was automatically discounted by 50%, and only 25,000 crystal cores were deducted.
Realizing that the person in front of him might be a VIP of the bank, the toll booth staff immediately became friendly.
"Mr. Yang Chen, we have a map of the mining area here. Would you like a copy? It's free for VIPs."
Is it free?
"Then please give me one."
After obtaining a mining area distribution map from the other party, Yang Chen finally understood clearly that the so-called distribution map means marking the types and quantities of minerals produced in each part of the mining area.
"I've been to this place once before. The fee is very expensive, and they didn't even give me a map when I came here last time. I almost got lost. It's still necessary for the boss to come in person before the mining area will give him face. After all, the boss is a martial saint." Zhang Liang seemed to have misunderstood something and said.
"The Diamond Crystal Mine is in Mine F258, five kilometers from our location. Without a marked map, even a well-trained dog might not be able to find it."
After taking the three people around a few bends, Yang Chen successfully found the F258 mine.
"Get your mining equipment out! We're about to get started. The cost is 25,000 crystal cores for five hours. If we mine more, we'll make a profit. If we mine less, we'll lose money."
Yang Chen suddenly regained some of the feeling of eating the buffet hotpot in the wasteland before.
The three of them immediately took out the pickaxes used for mining from their storage belts, turned on the horsepower mode, and started digging.
Seeing that they were still using outdated mining equipment, Yang Chen directly took out the latest mining robot and input a crystal core into it, which could transform into a perpetual motion machine. The three people next to Sang exclaimed how professional he was when they saw it.
Rumble!
After a while, the mining robot dug through the stone wall in front.
"What's going on? There's space behind the stone wall. Is it connected to other mines?" Yang Daili and others looked in the direction of the collapse.
That is where Yang Chen’s mining robot works.
After taking out the map and checking it, Yang Chen, whose mining hat was a bit dazzling, looked at the three people and said, "It shouldn't be that they dug through other passages, but rather dug into a natural cave in the mountain, right?"
Judging from the map, this mine is quite far away from other places.
"Let's go in and see what's going on."
Yang Chen took the lead and walked forward. He found a mining robot buried by some rubble. He immediately put the robot away and looked forward. It was all gray inside.
The light from the searchlight on the miner's helmet couldn't even penetrate.
Yang Chen reached out and touched it, and judged by feel that the cave was full of water vapor.
"Boss, what's going on?" Zhang Liang and others followed and asked.
"Very strange! This seems to be some unnatural cave. If I'm not mistaken, the lair behind this is the Water Blue Python." Yang Chen made a sharp guess: "This kind of aquamarine mist usually forms in caves where Water Blue Pythons live. The higher the concentration, the greater the number and the stronger the level."
"How strong can it be?" Zhang Liang asked, swallowing his saliva.
"Usually, they are at least level five. In this environment, even if a Martial Saint comes, it will be very dangerous. So my plan is that the three of you quickly retreat and notify the people at the bank to contact other Martial Saints to come and deal with this nest."
Yang Chen said solemnly, "Otherwise, this mine is so close to our territory. If the Blue Water Pythons were to attack our territory through the mine, the consequences would be disastrous. Even if we seal off the mine, we won't be able to stop the Blue Water Pythons from invading our territory. In this case, we can only destroy their nest!"
"What about you, Boss?"
"As a Martial Saint, I plan to investigate the situation in advance and provide some intelligence to the Martial Saints coming later. Okay, you guys should hurry back and inform them of the situation before the Water Blue Python finds this exit."
