After allocating the artifact mold to Xin Sui Wo Dong, Zhang Shan kept all the other items dropped by the Boss for himself.
Anyway, apart from the blueprint for the Barbados cannon, the rest are just garbage.
If you guys don’t want it, just keep the mountain for yourself.
Of course.
Saying that these items are garbage does not mean that the items dropped by Cruise are bad.
In fact, it would be great if each boss could drop one useful item.
Cruz can drop a magic weapon mold and a top-quality level 6 engineering blueprint.
For Zhang Shan, this is already very generous.
If every real-name Boss could drop something like this, Zhang Shan would jump for joy.
…
After finishing the distribution of items, Zhang Shan and his friends continued to kill monsters by the beacon tower.
Fengyun Yida, on the other hand, was killing monsters while making contacts everywhere.
He wanted to help Zhang Shan find two level five engineering drawings as soon as possible.
As long as he can buy two level five blueprints, Zhang Shan can start building the Barbados cannon.
This is a matter of great importance to them, whether they can defend the city.
Fengyun Yidao is very concerned about this matter.
He cares much more about it than Zhang Shan.
After all, once they capture the city, it will be theirs, and Zhang Shan won't have to occupy it anymore.
It is enough for Zhang Shan to have a demon-suppressing city.
There was no need for him to occupy a second city.
Of course.
If there are multiple cities, it would be fine for him to occupy one more.
However, there are only four demon cities nearby, and there are exactly four of us, each occupying one.
Zhang Shan certainly wouldn't compete with his friends for the position of city lord.
…
Time passed slowly, and they had been in the demon village for several hours.
They kept on fighting until twelve o'clock in the evening, and the number of demon warriors around them did not decrease.
During this period, Zhang Shan also tried to break out alone.
However, Zhang Shan had only taken a few steps when he was squeezed by the densely packed demon warriors and could not move.
There was no other choice but Zhang Shan could only open fire at full strength, activate all burst skills, and fight his way back to the beacon tower.
Everyone was annoyed when they saw that the number of wild monsters around them had not decreased.
They came here to attack the demon city, not to kill monsters.
Now they are surrounded by monsters, which keep spawning them. What is going on?
While they were killing monsters, everyone would run to the top of the platform from time to time to see if the number of demon warriors in the distance had decreased.
However, every time they ran up excitedly, they came down depressed.
No matter how they farmed, there were always a lot of monsters around this hill.
At least with their naked eyes, they couldn't see any changes.
At the beginning, they were brushing very enthusiastically, but as time went on, everyone became more and more annoyed.
It's not a good idea to keep brushing like this endlessly.
Especially after twelve o'clock in the evening, when they all go to bed.
But everyone is still surrounded by monsters, which is very annoying.
The goblin said depressedly.
"How long do we have to grind before we can attack the demon city?"
"How would we know? If we don't kill most of the monsters, we won't be able to get out at all."
"What should we do? Are we just going to keep killing the monsters? How long will it take?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe I just need to brush it for another half a day, or maybe I need to brush it for a few days."
"No way, if I keep doing this for a few days, I'm afraid I'll go crazy."
"It doesn't matter if it takes a few days. Isn't it the same when we usually kill monsters?"
"How can this be the same? There is a demon city at the foot of the mountain to fight, but we are here to kill monsters for fun. Isn't this embarrassing?"
"Don't be too anxious. Take your time. The demon city at the foot of the mountain is there. They won't run away. What are you worrying about?"
"All right."
After looking at the time, Zhang Shan suggested.
"Why don't we just stop here today and go offline and sleep early."
It was already twelve o'clock in the evening, and it was time to go to bed. They couldn't get out today anyway.
There is no need to waste any more time. I will go online tomorrow and continue to grind, and try to reach the foot of the mountain.
"Okay, log off and go to sleep. We'll continue brushing tomorrow."
"By the way, Brother Guanzi, you have to get up early tomorrow. You have to go online first to block the monsters. Otherwise, we will be killed by them easily."
"Um."
Of course Zhang Shan knew that he had to go online earlier than his friends.
If he wasn't there to trap the monsters, the other friends would be easily killed by them.
Unless they go online at the same time and the four of them cooperate with each other, it is possible to block the monsters by relying on the terrain.
But how could they possibly be online at the same time?
There is always a certain order of precedence.
Therefore, it would be safest if Zhang Shan went online first.
Because Zhang Shan is alone, he is fearless even if he faces a large number of monsters.
Just when everyone was getting ready to log off and go to sleep.
At this time Fengyun Yidao suddenly said.
"Wait a minute, I found the fifth-level engineering blueprints and am sending someone to buy them. They will be available soon."
Hearing Feng Yun Yidao's words, Zhang Shan couldn't help but be surprised.
There is such a thing.
Fengyun Yida is really capable.
He had been searching for so long but couldn't buy the fifth-level engineering blueprints, but Fengyun Yidao found the source of supply in just one night.
I have to say that a veteran like Fengyun Yidao has quite a wide range of connections.
Zhang Shan hurriedly asked Feng Yun Yidao.
"How many can I buy? Just one?"
Zhang Shan is more concerned about this issue.
If they could only buy a fifth-level engineering blueprint, it would be of little use and would not solve their problem.
You have to be able to buy two.
Fengyun Yidao replied.
"There are two. They will arrive soon."
"Yidao, you are really good. You can even buy this. Where did you find the source of the goods?"
"Where else can I buy it? Find those game merchants."
Zhang Shan was shocked when he heard Feng Yun Yidao's words.
"Holy crap, are the game merchants so awesome? They actually have a source of goods like this?"
"Don't underestimate the game merchants. They have a wide range of connections. As long as you are willing to pay a high price, they will probably be able to sell even a magic tool mold."
"All right."
Zhang Shan has broadened his horizons.
Originally, he thought that those game merchants were just doing small things, using tricks like buying low and selling high.
And they don't have any really good stuff in their hands.
After all, the real good stuff is very rare, and most of them are controlled by major guilds, so they should not be able to get them.
Now it seems that Zhang Shan underestimated others.
Those guys who are game businessmen are still quite capable.
After a while, Fengyun Yidao traded two level five engineering blueprints to Zhang Shan.
At the same time he also complained.
"Fuck, these game merchants are really shady. A level 5 engineering blueprint is actually sold for one million gold coins."
"Is it really that shady? Aren't level 5 engineering blueprints priced at around 100,000 gold coins? Unless they are extremely high-quality blueprints, the prices are generally quite stable."
"You have to bid at the regular price yourself. Otherwise, how can you make money without these unscrupulous merchants?"
"Fuck, this is too shady. They dare to make a profit with a ten-fold price difference?"
"What can we do? He just catches people like us who are in urgent need and kills them as much as he can."
Zhang Shan said to Feng Yun Yidao.
"I'll transfer the money to you."
"No, do you really need to pay for this? Just level up your engineering skills and build the Barbados Cannon. Next time I return to the city, I'll go buy the materials, and the cost will be split equally among the four of us."
"Yes, Brother Guanzi just needs to do the work and we'll pay. You are not allowed to charge us for the labor, hehe."
After hearing Feng Yun Yidao's words, Zhang Shan didn't say anything else.
This is fine. We can't ask him to pay both money and effort.
Let his friends provide the materials themselves , and he only needs to be responsible for making the products.
Zhang Shan took Fengyun's knife and checked the drawings received in the transaction.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
These two level five blueprints are both garbage blueprints. Apart from being used to increase proficiency, they are completely worthless.
One is a blueprint for crafting a level 60 orange musket, and the other is a blueprint for a toy, a jumping frog.
Just these two drawings can cost one million gold coins each. These game merchants are really shady.
But it doesn’t matter.
For Zhang Shan, the purpose of these two drawings is to improve his proficiency.
As for whether the products are useful or not, that is not important.
All we need to do is to raise his engineering level to the sixth-level engineering grandmaster.
After getting two level five engineering drawings, Zhang Shan said to his friends.
"You guys go ahead, I'll go back and brush up on my engineering level."
"Well, we'll get off first. Come on, Brother Guanzi."
As the friends left the line one after another, Zhang Shan took out the positioning beads and marked the coordinates at the current location.
Then use the positioning beads to teleport to the Demon-Suppressing City, and then teleport to Dangyang City through the Demon-Suppressing City's teleportation array.
As for why we have to go through such a long detour to get back to Dangyang City? There is nothing we can do about it.
Because there are countless monsters in front of Zhang Shan.
Players cannot read the bar and return to the city when they are attacked.
Zhang Shan can only teleport away through the positioning bead.
Zhang Shan’s fixed teleportation points are only the Demon-Suppressing City and the Royal City.
The reason why Zhang Shan left a coordinate in the Demon-Suppressing City was because he would go there from time to time to collect a wave of gold coins.
The coordinates of the royal city are because Zhang Shan has to go there every day to train his mount.
As for the third coordinate of the positioning bead, Zhang Shan had kept it for emergency use.
For example, this time, he marked the third coordinate on the beacon tower in the middle of the demon village.
So that after he finishes the work, he can teleport back directly tomorrow.
…
After returning to Dangyang City, Zhang Shan first teleported to the warehouse and took out some of the materials he had stored.
Then teleport to the auction house and start bidding for a batch of materials according to the requirements of the drawings.
The products made from these two level five blueprints obtained by Fengyun Yidao are all garbage.
Fortunately, the materials required for these two drawings are not too expensive, and they are all common materials that can be easily purchased at auction houses.
Apart from one orange material, the remaining materials are also available in abundance in the auction house.
Zhang Shan roughly estimated that the materials for the two drawings cost about 10,000 to 20,000 gold coins each.
And if Zhang Shan wants to reach the maximum proficiency, he will need to prepare nearly three hundred copies of the materials for each drawing.
According to previous experience, the probability of making a finished product with the first 100 pieces of materials is very low, so just use them as pads for cutting.
The remaining two hundred materials will be used to raise the proficiency to 100, which should not be a problem.
Zhang Shan quickly swept the auction house and soon bought 300 copies of each of the two drawings and the required materials.
After getting the materials, Zhang Shan teleported to the guild residence and used the guild contribution to enter the workshop.
Zhang Shan took out two drawings and started studying them immediately.
After learning the blueprint, Zhang Shan opened the life and career panel to check.
Engineering Level 5.
Intermediate Arrow Tower Production (Proficiency 100).
Groot Rifle Making (Proficiency 0).
Making a jumping frog (proficiency 0).
Although Zhang Shan has learned these two drawings, he has not yet successfully made a product.
So the proficiency is zero.
As long as Zhang Shan successfully produces finished products one hundred times, his proficiency level can be raised to one hundred.
The proficiency level for each item was 100. In addition, he had made a large number of intermediate arrow towers before, so his proficiency level had already reached 100.
The three proficiency levels added together equal 300 proficiency levels, so Zhang Shan can then pass the study of the sixth-level engineering drawings.
Raise his engineering level to the sixth-level engineering grandmaster.
Now that I have the blueprints and have purchased the materials, I just need to keep making products and improve my proficiency.
Everything is ready, let’s get started.
Zhang Shan took out a set of Glot musket materials and placed them on the operating table.
Soon, a small flame started and a puff of green smoke came out.
Without a doubt, the production failed.
It doesn't matter.
This is only the first time he makes it, so failure is normal. After he fails a hundred or eighty times, he should be able to succeed.
Although the production failed, Zhang Shan was not discouraged.
It's normal to fail in the first production.
If he could make the product right the first time, that would be incredible.
Zhang Shan put the materials on the workbench again.
Another failure.
Zhang Shan repeated this process over and over again, constantly putting materials on the operating table.
Failure after failure.
However, Zhang Shan had a blank expression on his face and continued to put in materials.
Even after he consumed more than 120 pieces of materials, Zhang Shan still had not successfully made the first Groot musket.
This made Zhang Shan a little depressed.
Although it is normal to fail when making an engineering product for the first time.
But he has failed more than a hundred times, which is a bit abnormal.
Although the materials used to make the Groot musket are not too expensive.
On average, the price of each material is around 20,000 gold coins.
But failing more than a hundred times in a row means that more than two million gold coins have been wasted.
Even if Zhang Shan is not short of money, he can't waste it like this.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shan couldn't help but shake his head.
Life and careers in the new world are really a waste of money.
Despite repeated failures, Zhang Shan continued to put in materials.
Try again if you fail.
It's just money, he can afford it.
Zhang Shan didn't know how many times he had put the materials in.
Suddenly, a light flashed on the operating table, and an exquisite musket slowly appeared on the operating table.
Seeing this, Zhang Shan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He finally made his first musket.
This is such a bummer, how many times has this failed?
Zhang Shan took a look and found that there were still about 130 pieces of Glot musket materials left in his backpack.
All right.
He had failed more than 160 times before he succeeded in making his first musket. Such odds were really bad.
But once you've made the first one, the rest will be easy.
The subsequent production should be much easier.
Zhang Shan continued to put in the materials.
Time passed slowly, and Zhang Shan put in materials again and again, some failed and some succeeded.
When he was about to put in materials again, he discovered that all the musket materials in his backpack had been used up.
Damn, three hundred pieces of materials, aren’t they enough to improve my proficiency?
Zhang Shan opened the life and career panel to check.
Groot Rifle Making (Proficiency 86).
Grass, it’s really not enough.
Without further ado, let’s go buy materials.
Zhang Shan exited the guild workshop, teleported to the auction house, and continued to scan twenty pieces of musket materials.
Then return to the guild headquarters and continue making muskets.
After a while, when Zhang Shan had used up all the materials for the musket.
He opened the life and career panel again to check.
Groot Rifle Making (Proficiency 100).
very good.
Seeing this, Zhang Shan nodded with satisfaction.
Finally, I reached another 100 proficiency points.
Although it took twenty more materials than he expected.
But it doesn’t matter. Twenty sets of materials are not a big deal, just a few hundred thousand gold coins.
Zhang Shan is rich and doesn't care about such a small amount of money, as long as the job is done.
With just one blueprint, he no longer had to make the Groot musket.
This level 60 orange musket wouldn't sell for much money even if it was put on the auction house.
There isn't even enough material, it's far from enough.
Normal orange equipment costs between five hundred and two to three thousand gold coins.
A rifle like the Groot Rifle, which is beyond the player's current level, cannot be sold at a high price.
I guess even if I sell it for 500 gold coins, there might not be anyone who would buy it.
You know, if Zhang Shan wants to make a musket, even if the success rate is 100%, he will need 20,000 materials.
For products like this, the more you make, the more you lose.
Since you are already proficient enough, why bother doing it?
As long as it doesn't exist.
Zhang Shan put away the gun on the operating table and started making a jumping frog.
This kind of toy-like engineering product is even more of a rip-off.
It has absolutely no effect and can only be used to increase proficiency.
It’s no wonder that those game merchants still have blueprints in their hands.
Such drawings are only needed by people like Zhang Shan who are striving for engineering level.
Others wouldn't even look at it.
Such a rubbish blueprint is actually sold for one million gold coins. It has to be said that Fengyun Yidao has become a fat sheep today.
But there's nothing we can do about it, since they just happened to stick their heads over there.
It would be strange if others don't give you a heavy blow.
…
Zhang Shan put the materials for making the jumping frog on the workbench and started making it.
Pieces of materials were constantly placed on the workbench.
Zhang Shan was lucky this time. He used less than two hundred materials to raise his proficiency to one hundred.
As for the remaining materials, Zhang Shan did not continue to make them.
There is absolutely no need.
Toy products like Leaping Frog are pure garbage.
It’s better to store the remaining materials in the warehouse later. They may be needed in the future.
Zhang Shan opened the life and career panel to check.
Intermediate Arrow Tower Production (Proficiency 100).
Glover's musket making (proficiency 100).
Making of jumping frog (proficiency 100).
very good.
The proficiency of the three mountain drawings has reached one hundred.
You can now study level 6 engineering drawings.
Zhang Shan took out the blueprint for making the Barbados cannon from his backpack and immediately started to study it.
Open the life and career panel to view.
Level 6 Engineering Grandmaster.
Barbados cannon forging blueprint (proficiency 0).
Not bad, not bad, I finally learned this drawing.
This means that Zhang Shan’s engineering level has risen to the sixth-level engineering grandmaster.
Now as long as he has the materials, he can start making this powerful weapon for defending the city.
Once they capture the demon city, Fengyun Yidao and others can go collect materials.
As long as he has the materials, Zhang Shan can start mass production.
