Chapter 173: Hard goods, purchasing a large number of blueprint skill books!

"It seems that we have to use some hard stuff to make them take out the good stuff from their hands!"

Then, Cao Xing opened the [Market] and prepared to put [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Purple)] on the shelves.

This is also the beast meat with the strongest attributes he has ever put on the shelves.

It can directly increase 7 points of strength and 3 points of agility!
A piece of wild boar meat is equivalent to a two-level upgrade, which is extremely powerful.

However, he didn't have much of this stuff in stock, only more than 300 yuan.

There is no way, the leader-level wild boar is as big as a small hill.

But most of the body is bones and internal organs, and the total weight of the meat is nearly 400 kilograms, so the meat yield is actually very high.

Things are rare.

So Cao Xing decided.

This batch of purple-grade wild boar meat can only be used to exchange for recruitment scrolls, construction blueprints, equipment blueprints, skill books, etc.

So, Cao Xing began to set the transaction information.

[Consignment Item: Purified Boss Wild Boar Meat (Purple)]

[Inventory reserve: medium]

[Required items: recruitment scrolls, blueprints, skill books, etc.]

[Seller's note: I need various recruitment scrolls and blueprints. In addition, I also accept skill books for Frost Mage, Aurora Knight, and Frost Iron Mechanic. Please private message me for transactions.]

...

After thinking for a while, Cao Xing added two high-level materials, [Magic Pattern Stone] and [Eternal Gold Ingot].

Because he has a golden architectural blueprint in his hand, called [King's Altar], which can be used to resurrect heroes.

But the necessary materials have been difficult to gather.

It is just right that we can take this opportunity to purchase these two materials from the survivors of the entire Area 174.

At this moment, the chat channel fell into silence after seeing Cao Xing put the beast meat on the shelves for the third time.

Then there was a huge sensation!
"Hiss! Such strong wild boar meat! It actually directly increases 7 points of strength and 3 points of agility!"

"Yeah, this is too outrageous, right? This level 5 green weapon in my hand only adds 5 points of strength!"

"Wow! I'm going to use all my Ice Dragon Marks to buy this beast meat!"

At this time, another survivor replied: "Don't think about it. Boss Cao Xing will not accept materials such as the Ice Dragon Mark this time. He will only accept blueprints, magic pattern stones, and eternal gold ingots."

After hearing this, the other survivors also burst into laughter.

"Sure enough, Boss Cao Xing would not exchange such precious beast meat for ordinary materials."

"What are Magic Pattern Stone and Eternal Gold Ingot? I've never heard of them."

"Brothers, check what blueprints you have and trade them with Boss Cao Xing. Then come to the trading channel and exchange the purple wild boar meat for ordinary materials and resell them. We will definitely buy them for you."

After hearing this, the other survivors suddenly realized something.

"That makes sense. You can make a lot of money by reselling them!"

"Who else has a boar warrior recruitment scroll? One scroll can be exchanged for 2 pieces of beast meat, which is equivalent to 20 pieces of beast meat. I am willing to pay 100 Ice Dragon Marks to buy one. One piece of beast meat can be sold for 1000 Ice Dragon Marks!"

"Haha, I have two Boar Warrior Recruitment Scrolls in my hand. I'm going to make a fortune this time!"

Cao Xing naturally knew that this kind of reselling phenomenon would occur.

But he didn't stop.

As mentioned before, when he eats meat, he also lets others drink some soup.

Cao Xing was unwilling to exchange this precious beast meat for ordinary materials, but other survivors were willing.

Everyone gets what they want, a win-win situation.

Of course, Cao Xing has already earned the biggest benefit.

Three consecutive transactions attracted the attention of almost all the survivors in Area 174.

Soon, he received a large number of private messages.

Many people posted their most valuable items right away.

After a quick glance, I found a lot of skill books.

For example: [Primary Mechanical Affinity], [Improved Self-Destruct Robot], [Ice Breaking Flying Blade], etc.

Since Cao Xing was planning to train Tong Chuchu, he added the skills of a mechanic this time.

Most of them are ordinary skill books, and Cao Xing and Liu Muxue have already learned them.

For example, the Frost Mage's: Ice Wall, Ice Spear, Ice Ball, and the Aurora Knight's Holy Healing, Shield Counter, etc.

However, there are some skill books that I haven't learned yet, and their attributes are pretty good.

After Cao Xing agreed on the price with these people, he started the transaction directly.

[Transaction successful: You get [Primary Ice Control Skill Book], and you lose [Purified Boss Wild Boar Meat (Purple)]*3]
[Transaction successful: You get [Ez-6 Mark Chaser Skill Book], you lose [Purified Boss Wild Boar Meat (Purple)]*4]
[Transaction successful: You gain the [Holy Shield Assault Skill Book], and you lose [Purified Boss Wild Boar Meat (Purple)]*2]
[Transaction successful...]
...

A system prompt appears on the screen.

At this time, Cao Xing saw a drawing that caught his attention.

[Construction drawings of an intermediate alchemy workshop].

This thing is the key to making an improved version of the secret elixir of life!
Now Cao Xing only needs to build it and then find a pharmacist to produce the secret elixir of life in batches!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing became a little excited!

After some bargaining, Cao Xing finally traded 11 pieces of animal meat with the other party.

This was also the most expensive blueprint he had ever bought.

But it is obvious that he made a lot of money from this deal!

[Transaction successful: You obtained [Intermediate Alchemy Workshop Blueprint], and you lost [Purified Leader Wild Boar Meat (Purple)]*11]
After getting the blueprint, Cao Xing showed great joy on his face.

"Good, good! Finally everything is ready, the only thing missing is a pharmacist."

"Let's see if we can find a town or village and bring back a pharmacist in the next two days."

Cao Xing's face was full of anticipation.

Then, he continued to click on the private messages and read them one by one.

He discovered many things that interested him.

For example, magic pattern stones and eternal gold ingots, as well as some architectural drawings and so on.

Cao Xing also started bargaining and then bought it at a reasonable price.

[Transaction successful: You get [Basic Training Ground Construction Blueprint], you lose [Purified Forest Boar Meat (Purple)]*2]
[Transaction successful: You get [Intermediate Cowshed Construction Blueprint], you lose [Purified Forest Boar Meat (Purple)]*2]
[Transaction successful: You get [First-level Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll*1], and you lose [Purified Forest Wild Boar Meat (Purple)]*2.]
[Transaction successful: You gained [Eternal Gold Ingot*2], and you lost [Purified Boss Wild Boar Meat (Purple)]*1]
[Transaction successful...]
This time, Cao Xing used 324 pieces of animal meat in exchange for a large amount of supplies.

Most of the beast meat was used to exchange for recruitment scrolls, eternal gold ingots, magic pattern stones and other materials.

I took a look at the number of recruitment scrolls I obtained this time.

[First-level Wild Boar Warrior Recruitment Scroll *71]

[First-level Imperial Archer Recruitment Scroll*5]

[First-level Imperial Soldier Recruitment Scroll *5]

"Very good. With the previous round of transactions and the recruitment scroll in my hand, it is enough to gather a hundred-man wild boar warrior army!"

A look of satisfaction appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Although these scrolls consumed a large amount of his purple beast meat, it was obvious that this was a very profitable deal!

Then there are the two materials: [Eternal Gold Ingot] and [Magic Pattern Stone].

This time the total has been changed.

[Eternal Gold Ingot*64]

[Magic Pattern Stone*31]

"Building the King's Altar requires 100 Eternal Gold Ingots and 50 Magic Pattern Stones. We are still a little short of that."

Cao Xing felt a little regretful.

However, this is also normal.

After all, Eternal Gold Ingots and Magic Pattern Stones are both very high-level materials.

It’s pretty good to receive so much in District 174.

In addition to these, Cao Xing also exchanged for ten skill books and six blueprints!
Then he began to check them one by one.

First of all, there are the three skill books of the Frost Mage.

They are: [Ice Soul Spinning Spear], [Ice Breaking Flying Blade], [Primary Ice Control]

I took a look at the introductions of the three skill books.

[Ice Soul Spinning Spear: Frost Mage Exclusive Skill Book (Blue)]

[Skill Effect: Throws a spear made of ice forward, causing it to spin at high speed like a windmill, causing multiple attacks*112% damage to all enemies along the way. Skill Cooldown Time: 60 seconds]

...

[Ice Breaking Blade: Frost Mage Exclusive Skill Book (Purple)]

[Skill Effect: Quickly condense 1~3 large ice balls with sharp icicles. After hitting the enemy, they explode and cause 273% damage, and then a large number of fragments splash out, causing 87% piercing damage to surrounding enemies. Skill Cooldown Time: 90 seconds]

...

[Primary Ice Control: Frost Mage Exclusive Skill Book (Blue)]

[Skill Effect: Deepen your understanding of the power of ice, increase the damage of all ice attacks by 10%, and increase casting speed by 10%. At the same time, you can also try different skill combinations in actual combat.]

(Tip: By continuously compressing the ice ball, you can increase the explosion damage.)
...

"Too fierce!"

These three skill books were all important skills for Cao Xing, and they cost him 20 pieces of beast meat.

But it's worth it! It's worth it!
Especially [Basic Ice Control], although it is just a blue skill book, it is a key skill.

After learning this, you can have a preliminary understanding of the use of these ice magics and make different attack methods.

To give an example, before, when learning skill books, to release skills, you just need to copy the answers.

And now that you have learned [Basic Ice Control], you will understand how these answers are obtained and what the calculation formula is.

So as to learn more advanced ways of application.

Cao Xing clapped his hands and learned the three skill books without hesitation.

In an instant, he felt a large amount of memories flooding into his mind.

Among these memories, there are various combinations of ice elements and chanted spells.

It took nearly a minute or two for Cao Xing to absorb these memories.

He opened his eyes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in surprise: "Oh my god...Is there such a big reaction to learning a skill?"

“I feel like my brain is almost full…”

Cao Xing clapped his hands and continued checking.

Then came the three skill books of the Aurora Knight, which also cost Cao Xing nearly twenty pieces of beast meat!
They are [Holy Shield Assault], [Basic Swordsmanship Control], and [Defensive Stance].

As usual, I checked the properties of the next three skill books.

[Holy Shield Assault (Purple): Aurora Knight Exclusive Skill Book]

[Skill Effect: Concentrate the power of the aurora on the shield, quickly advance 5~30 meters, repel enemies on the path, and cause damage to them equal to attack power*89%. Cooldown time: 30 seconds]

...

[Basic Swordsmanship Mastery (Blue): Melee skill book for warriors, aurora knights, etc.]

[Skill Effect: Deepen your understanding of swordsmanship. When using sword weapons, your attack power increases by 10% and your attack speed increases by 10%. At the same time, you can also make different combinations in actual combat.]

(Tip: If you use the Hamstring skill at the moment when the Polar Warrior's Thrust skill ends, there will be unexpected effects~)

...

[Defense Stance (Blue): Aurora Knight Tactical Skill Book]

[Skill Effect: Switch to full defense mode, unable to attack, the probability of being knocked away is reduced by 50%, defense is increased by 20%, no cooldown time. ]

...

These three skill books are also very good and can improve Liu Muxue's mobility, combat ability, and defensive ability.

Especially [Basic Swordsmanship Control], the importance of this skill is almost the same as [Basic Ice Control].

"Not bad."

And according to the system's prompts, Cao Xing suddenly had a different idea.

For example, after the Aurora Knight uses [Holy Shield Assault], can he follow up with [Shield Slam] to quickly charge forward and control the enemy?
Apparently, this is possible.

"Interesting... Can different skill combinations produce different effects?"

Cao Xing suppressed the thought in his mind and decided to let Liu Muxue try again when there was a chance.

...

Finally, there are the four skill books for the mechanic.

They are: [Primary Mechanical Affinity], [Ez-6 Mark Chaser], [Ez-8 Improved Self-Destruct Robot], and [G-1 Corona].

Look at the properties.

[Primary Mechanical Affinity (Blue): Cold Iron Mechanic Exclusive Skill Book]

[Skill Effect: When summoning mechanical creatures to fight, increase the duration by 20% and the mechanical properties by 10%, and return 20% of the materials when the duration of the summoned mechanical creatures ends.]

...

[Ez-6 Mark Chaser (Purple): Cold Iron Mechanic Exclusive Skill Book]

[Skill Effect: Consume some materials and mechanical force to summon a Mark Chaser robot that inherits 120% of the attributes of the Mechanic. The Mark Chaser has skills such as Thermal Tracking, Thermal Acceleration, and Cutting Blade. Duration: 5 minutes, Cooldown time: 10 minutes]

...

[Ez-8 Improved Self-Destruct Robot (Blue): Cold Iron Mechanic Exclusive Skill Book]

[Skill Effect: Advanced version of self-destruct robot. Consumes some materials to summon a self-destruct robot with a durability value equal to its health value. It has simple attack skills and will explode after the durability value is exhausted, causing 280% explosion damage to enemies within five meters. Up to 2 can be summoned at the same time. Duration: 120 seconds, cooldown time 5 minutes]

...

[G-1 Corona (Purple): Cold Iron Mechanic Exclusive Skill Book]

[Skill Effect: Consumes a large amount of materials, summons a permanent Corona robot, inherits 100% of the mechanic's attributes, and has skills such as energy conversion, energy impact, and energy bomb. ]

(Note: If you need to summon a new Corona, you need to destroy the original Corona.)
...

"Very good. The mechanic profession is still very powerful, especially in the middle stage. After changing to a war mechanic, you will also learn three exclusive blueprints for war machinery."

"Then, through the mechanical factory, these three machines can be mass-produced, and one person can deal with an entire legion."

"Of course, the cost of a mechanic's battle is also astronomical. In addition, a large amount of high-level materials are also needed to make these machines."

"According to the current situation, a large region can probably only afford one high-end mechanic."

"And with my talent, the profession of mechanic can even undergo another qualitative change and become the true king of war!"

Cao Xing thought excitedly.

He had no regrets about not choosing the Cold Iron Mechanic.

In this world, every profession has its own strengths.

In the later stages of the game, the Frost Mage can destroy a city with one forbidden spell. Isn’t that cool?
In addition, there is also a mechanic Tong Chuchu in his territory.

It’s the same with training her.

After reading these ten skill books, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Then, there are the drawings.

Removed construction drawings such as [Intermediate Cowshed], [Intermediate Toilet], [Intermediate Alchemy Workshop], etc. whose functions can be guessed from their names.

Cao Xing checked the properties of the other three new drawings.

The first one is a blueprint of the training ground.

[Primary training ground construction drawings]

[Building effect: You can build a training ground in the territory, so that the people can train in it and increase their experience points. ]

【Area: 120 square meters】

[Armor: 40]

Durability: 1200

[Maximum number of trainees: 20]

[Training experience points: 1 hour/500 experience points]

[Materials required for construction: wood*200, stone*100, iron*50, copper*20, primary element crystal*20]

【Construction time: 8:43】

【Staff: Instructor 0/1】

(Note: Citizens with sword and spear skills, who serve as instructors, have a small chance of helping other citizens learn the same type of weapon control.)
...

A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes, "Interesting..."

"This thing has a similar effect to the training camp, except that it allows other citizens to learn skills and gain experience points."

"In this case, if Assam is made the instructor, it means that others will also learn the skill of Frostwolf Swordsmanship, but the probability is a little small."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't learn any skills. When the polar people level up, their physical attributes will also improve, and they will be more efficient at work."

The appearance of this drawing gave Cao Xing different ideas.

In the future, when those polar people or Cao Yi and others have free time, we will arrange for them to go there for training.

When a battle really occurs, these subjects can just pick up their weapons and join the battlefield.

"Not bad."

Cao Xing continued to check.

[Primary hot spring hall construction drawings]

[Architectural effect: You can build a hot spring hall in your territory, which can be divided into male and female bathing pools. ]

【Area: 270 square meters】

[Armor: 50]

Durability: 1500

[Maximum capacity: 50 people]

[Materials required for construction: Stone*500, Wood*200, Iron*100, Mithril*10, Primary Element Crystal*20, Electronic Components*5]

【Construction time: 17 hours and 32 minutes】

...

"spa……"

“This is a good thing!”
