Chapter 70 Blacksmith Shop and Potion Shop
Lian looked at her own blacksmith shop, which was only a dozen steps away from "Miss Miko's Magic Potion Shop", a distance that made her a little unhappy. Although it was built according to the "plan" of the Government Affairs Office, she wanted to be closer to the Lord.
The frame of the house was built almost overnight, and it took only a few days to successfully construct.
She looked at the man in front of her who was introducing the story to her. He had his silver hair tied into a ponytail, snake-like pupils, a hooked nose, and a name that was so weird that it was undead and difficult to pronounce.
Lian cared more about his appearance than his strange name. He had already met several of his brothers outside. They looked almost exactly the same and especially liked to run around carrying two swords on their backs.
Lian looked around the blacksmith shop. It was better than the one in Prey Town, with more space and stronger walls. The flames were rolling and baking the new house that had just been built.
The burning sensation on the left side of her face became more severe, which made her subconsciously recall her life in Prey Town.
Turning my eyes to the inner room, a large door successfully isolates the heat from the stove. I believe that in the summer, the presence of this door will allow people to rest better without being disturbed by the high temperature outside.
With a gentle push of the palm, the wooden door slowly opened.
Well, there is a single bed in the room, and there is even a cupboard.
Entering the room and closing the door, he successfully blocked out the outside temperature. The cold air made Lian feel dazed for a moment.
The environment here is not much different from that in Prey Town. The only difference is that she can no longer eat dried fruits every day, quietly waiting for her man to give her various things to please her, and be shown off as his accessory.
It is precisely because of this kind of showing off that many people are eyeing her.
Do you miss that kind of life? Of course not!
No one wants to be someone else's vassal. Of course, sacrifices must be made to fill one's stomach. Lian's body is her capital. She can live in this way until she is old and ugly, but people are always unsatisfied.
It was different now. She couldn't say where it was different, but looking at her own room, she seemed to have her own world. The music of the choir echoed in her ears, and she felt that she might have really achieved some kind of spiritual purification... a feeling of freedom, perhaps.
Lian could see that the lord really valued the blacksmithing skills in his mind, even if it was just experience and skills on paper.
Therefore, if you want to grasp freedom, you must work hard to express yourself and show your value beyond your body.
"Why is it a single bed..." She was a little dissatisfied.
The blacksmith's skills are already enough to attract the lord, so if he adds the body, doesn't that mean he is sure to win!
She already knew the logic of Star Dragon Outpost. She earned gold coins by working. Of course, she would be given a lot of gold coins in the early stage for spending.
When she needs something, for example, Lian needs iron ore, iron ingots and other materials, she can take the gold coins to the Government Affairs Office to post a commission, and then the undead will complete her commission and finally pay the gold coins.
Similarly, her way of earning gold coins basically relies on the undead, repairing weapons, selling or recycling weapons and armor, etc.
It seems that Rand Gold Coin plays the role of currency in it, but in fact it is very different, because the gold coin reward when issuing a task is fixed. For the same iron ore task, if the first iron ore collection task gives a reward of 5 gold coins, then the same collection tasks in the future must all be 5 gold coins, which directly balances the task price with tough means.
When recycling iron ore as a blacksmith, she can determine how much the undead will have to spend based on her own inventory, and has relatively independent rights.
Similarly, for Lian and others, the role of gold coins is to issue commissions.
Only Lind can ensure that gold coins can circulate as currency within Star Dragon Outpost and maintain their value.
The unique monetary system was established relying on him alone. If something unexpected happened to him one day, the entire monetary system would probably collapse.
This makes no difference to Lian. She came for Lind and will of course leave after Lind fails.
Her main task now is still ironworking. Can she forge iron with just knowledge? She needs to hire a few workers who can help her forge iron.
It takes a lot of strength... She seemed to smell the stinky sweat of her dead man again, and couldn't help but frowning.
The undead who had completed their work had already left. Lian was walking alone on the small path inside the Star Dragon Outpost. While he was admiring the high efficiency of the undead, he did not forget to look around.
The Rabbit-Tooth Witch's potion shop has been built. Its style is completely different from her own blacksmith shop, but it has not yet been actually occupied, so the potion shop looks rather deserted.
The witch has indeed been very busy lately, and the lord often visits her.
Boom! The ground made a muffled groan. Lian noticed the expressions of the undead on both sides. They seemed to have seen something. Their emotions became excited and their whispers turned into a series of swear words.
There was no need to look up, because the figure that was taller than the people around him had already appeared in Lian's sight. The rogue's shabby clothes and armor were no different, but he was completely taller than all the undead, which doubled the pressure on those who were watching him.
This is a burly two-headed giant.
One head grew on the neck, but the second head was like an abscess hanging on the left side of the neck. The eyes trembled slowly with each breath, ready to open, but always stayed in the half-open stage. "What's wrong with you?"
"I succeeded!" The two-headed giant's voice sounded quite excited: "I have temporarily broken through the level limit and now I am at level 11!"
Lian looked at the undead people who were in revelry, full of confusion.
"Tell me quickly, brother, what happened?"
"Go and get Miss Miko's mission. Be her experimental guinea pig and you'll have a chance of success!"
"Shit, this can't be the only mission!"
"It seems to have stopped. The mission cannot be accepted."
"The only level 11 player in the entire server? Are you kidding me?"
……
The research on the two-headed potion has come to an end for now. It's not that Miko feels successful, but the application of the exhaustive method makes her more and more handy. She uses a large number of potion materials and uses the order that only existed in imagination before. And the most important thing is communication. She can feed the potion to the undead, watch their bodies twist and deform and die, and then ask them about their feelings after they are resurrected.
Prepare potions according to the exact situation instead of doing research in vain.
It's a pity that such an interesting potion experiment was soon stopped by Lind.
Because of the continuous experiments, the potion materials have been running out, and the rate of waste is far beyond imagination. Moreover, Lind seems to be very satisfied with her current research.
"We haven't figured out the real formula of the two-headed man yet." Miko was a little reluctant. She certainly would not admit that she had made a fortune in the process of brewing this potion.
Even the basic ingredients needed for the higher-level potions she was able to make were gathered together, giving her enough opportunities for trial and error to study and brew the most perfect potion.
"It's time to open the potion shop." Lind shook his head. Of course he knew that Mickey was enriching himself, but so what.
You can make one bottle of potion, or even two bottles, by making one, as long as you don't get sick of making potions. The price I sell to the undead will only be higher anyway.
On the contrary, it is more important for Lind to produce potions steadily like a cow or a horse.
Miss Micko nodded very obediently, and Lind's next words made her smile even more.
"Before opening, you must prepare sufficient potions, such as energy potions, healing potions, etc."
Sending materials? Miss Miko laughed so hard that she forgot to hide her rabbit teeth.
It’s time to make money again.
Seeing the little mule grinning and fantasizing about a bright future with more and more potion materials, Lind's mood also became very good. Wanting to work, and taking the initiative to work is a good thing.
He was going to send out a task first.
[Preparation before opening the potion shop]
[Miss Miko's magic potion shop is about to open, but there is not enough storage so the opening time has to be extended. Certain magic potion materials are needed.]
[Please collect the following potions and materials [click to expand]]
[Reward: You can get Miss Miko's exclusive potion [Two-headed Giant Path Potions]]
The Two-Headed Giant Path Potion is not perfect, but it is enough to bring about a qualitative change in the strength of the undead. Taking out this potion will definitely increase the cohesion of the Star Dragon Outpost, and perhaps more undead will be willing to gather together.
Lind had no doubt about the undead people's work efficiency. Even if there were not enough potions, he believed they could make it in various ways. However, the "Heart of Disaster" they needed might be difficult to obtain.
He turned around and glanced at Miss Micko, who was still immersed in the happiness of making huge profits.
I wonder if at least 180 bottles of potions will make her cry from exhaustion.
Even if I really cry, they should be tears of happiness.
