Buying Supernatural Items
Of course, a significant portion of the enemy casualties were large Goblin, thanks to the initial wave of sharp attacks.
After the battle, the three players stood on the grass, looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Although I was mentally prepared, I didn't expect Goblin to actually appear so quickly." Lan Xinyu patted her chest with lingering fear. "Without Ye Qian, if we had just followed the usual path, we might have been wiped out by now."
"Yes, Ye Qian is truly a treasure to us."
Hearing the two people's praise, Ye Qian always felt a little uncomfortable.
However, the situation afterward is indeed worrying. Once everyone leaves, there's no guarantee that new Goblin won't come to raid the area. Although 360 Black Shield Heavy Infantry will appear, no one wants to lose too many of these elite troops.
Unlike players, soldiers cannot communicate via private messages or mobilize troops in a timely manner. If something happens, they can only send two soldiers to other territories to call for reinforcements.
If we go back and forth like that, it will be too late.
Looking at the two people in front of her, Ye Qian could understand their worries.
But... no matter how you look at it, their development speed has already exceeded the limits that newcomers can achieve. Hundreds of elite units are no joke; statistically speaking, the possibility of them being wiped out by unknown forces in the short term is extremely slim.
Not to mention, Ye Qian can come over anytime.
"Don't overthink it, everyone. Just develop step by step. As long as we take it slow, no force will be able to defeat us in the end," Ye Qian said with a smile.
"You're right."
After cleaning up the corpses, they began Purification the Goblin meat and hanging it in the market.
This meat is estimated to sell for 2520 silver coins.
However, the sales speed is already very slow at this point in time, and many people will be leaving. There is no need to make a large-scale purchase in these last two days.
To prevent the food from rotting on the shelves, everyone decided to marinate all 10,000 kilograms of Goblin meat.
This way, you can store it for a long time without worry.
"Done."
After a busy evening, everyone high-fived each other, had a barbecue together, and then returned to their rooms to rest amidst cheerful laughter.
Ye Qian continued to hold the warm and cozy Dragon Loli, lost in thought.
On the 11th day, the day she was forced to return, Ye Qian gave Cherie more support, adding a Black Shield Infantryman to her roster and sending her 30 silver coins as funding. She also provided Life Energy, raising all five children by one level.
"Four LV2, plus a LV8 Cherry, that's about right."
After giving out the rewards, Ye Qian's focus returned to the territory.
The number of Arrow Tower in each sub-territory has doubled to eight.
This is enough to give the attacking forces a run for their money.
Of course, Arrow Tower are only suitable for dealing with slow and weak individuals, so they should not be relied upon too much.
To ensure that messages for help could be quickly relayed between the various territories after the players left, Lan Xinyu constructed a large number of beacon towers using simple materials. In the event of a battle, the Skeleton lying next to the beacon towers would cut open bottles containing oil and then strike them with a flint and steel to ignite them.
Once the beacon towers behind saw flames, they knew that the territory in the corresponding direction had been attacked, and they would also set their own beacon on fire.
By going from point to point, the message of encountering the enemy and requesting assistance could be transmitted back in a short time.
"Time's almost up, everyone get ready to part ways. If there's anything you need to discuss, let's talk about it in person. Everyone has done a great job these past 10 days, you haven't wasted a single day, especially Ye Qian, she's a very reliable leader." Chen Ning said goodbye to the two with a smile.
"Yes, yes." Lan Xinyu nodded repeatedly.
"A few more seconds, then goodbye everyone."
Ye Qian No. 2 waved her hand and returned to reality.
"Sure enough, once we returned to the real world, the flow of time in both places synchronized."
Ye Qian leaned back on the sofa, finally freed from the chilly environment that was intermittently rainy.
During this period, not only did time in reality stop, but even the two Colored Bubble Dream World that his clones sent there were almost at a standstill (although some time was still passing).
It is evening now.
"Let's make some arrangements first."
Ye Qian began to consider moving her main body to the world where Kalu lived and living in seclusion.
She used Ye Qian No. 2 to do everything from studying at school to communicating with others.
The main problem is that reality is just too dangerous. If things continue like this, I might lose it someday. Keeping only a clone will give me more courage.
This time, the main body actively Dream Entry and then emerged from its own gray bubble through the dream.
"It's been so long, the location is different now, looks like we'll have to look for it."
Ye Qian very nervous when using her main body this time.
She still remembered the stone tablet containing knowledge of Pollution that she had found in the void.
"It's hard to guarantee there won't be other things."
Under the protection of the other clones, they searched slowly for several hours and finally determined the coordinates of the Kalu World.
This is the Venerable One entering!
After a simple summons, the main body appeared directly on the ground here.
"It's relatively safe now." She breathed a long sigh of relief.
This is not to say that the world Kalu lives in is not dangerous, but rather that it is much better than the real world.
At this moment, Ye Qian No. 2 finally felt at ease and took a shower before lying down on the bed.
Around the same time, the Shadow Bureau.
Shi Jing, who was called in to work overtime, stared blankly at the documents on her desk.
"So this time, the provincial headquarters is preparing to send someone to investigate the Insect Blood Society's declaration of war. All we have to do is cooperate." The captain's words came from the chair opposite.
"So they care that much? It seems the higher-ups also think this incident has damaged the Shadow Bureau's reputation." The female team member on Shi Jing's right laughed.
"After this happened, the higher-ups put pressure on us, demanding an explanation from the local headquarters. But the investigation results... well, everyone's tried it anyway."
The captain's words gave Shi Jing a clue as to what was going on.
The higher-ups felt ashamed and couldn't stand seeing how incompetent the lower-ups were, so they sent in a big shot to investigate.
So what level of skill does this big shot possess?
Without a doubt, he is far beyond the reach of any newly promoted Transcendent.
Knowing about this, he secretly reminded himself to be careful and keep a low profile.
"The Shadow Bureau rarely interferes with the affairs of the Hidden World, so I can focus on collecting more extraordinary items."
Ye Qian No. 2 lay on the bed and began to think about the next steps.
She needs to buy many extraordinary items to build her own foundation.
Chapter 89 Purchasing Extraordinary Items
The following day at noon, Ye Qian led the second batch of new recruits to the Kalu World to carry out their first Dusk Mission.
Having learned from her first experience, she increased the number of new recruits she selected to 10 this time.
With more monsters, the difficulty of the dungeons also increased, significantly lengthening the entire process. The monsters included ranged from weak to strong. She even included hidden rooms; if anyone could find and defeat the boss inside, they would receive a substantial reward.
Of course, while the dangers have increased significantly, the safety measures have also been strengthened. Many Skeleton have been mixed in with the monsters; these are all Ye Qian's own undead creatures.
She discovered that if her team killed Skeleton, Life Energy would also appear, but most of the time it would only be around 8 points, less than the 10 points consumed to synthesize Skeleton. She concluded that this was a normal loss.
In other words, if your own teammates summon Skeleton and then you destroy them, the only loss you'll suffer is 2 points of Life Energy.
Even if bones are damaged, they can still be summoned again if collected, but they are usually damaged, so more bones are needed to make up for it.
At the same time that the mission here begins, in the old town.
Mia has completed two missions, the second of which was last night.
I went to an unfamiliar place with a few companions. The monsters we killed were weaker than the first time, but there were more of them.
The system provides better equipment.
Furthermore, a temporary exchange area appeared during this mission.
This exchange area can only be used during missions, and only two bottles of Water of Purification and Life Energy are available as items.
By exchanging items along the way, the group managed to kill quite a few wild beasts. Since everyone's level had increased to varying degrees, and they were mentally prepared, their combat strength was much greater than during their first mission.
Even without a guide, everyone did a great job.
Unlike other players, Mia is exceptionally patient.
She only went into the shop to exchange for Water of Purification when her injuries were quite severe and were already affecting her combat performance. Furthermore, because she was always at the forefront of the battle, she ended up accumulating the most points.
After accumulating countless creatures, Mia discovered a clue through marking during her mission and received a peculiar reward.
[Chaotic Sword Skill (White)]
Of course, she had no idea that Ye Qian had guided her to discover this clue.
This item costs 100 points in the exchange area, which is equivalent to 20 points of Life Energy according to the exchange area's price.
"How to use: Clap your hands together and silently say 'Use'?"
Looking at the book in her hands, she felt a little strange, so she clapped her hands together.
After a flash of white light, a large amount of related knowledge suddenly appeared in my mind.
"Is this... the chaotic sword technique?"
By the standards of Master, this move is riddled with flaws and utterly mediocre.
However, for ordinary people without any foundation, mastering this sword technique makes them a true expert.
This statement is not an exaggeration; the advantages that skills sometimes bring are indeed that obvious.
With this sword skill and the fact that the system gave her a sword, she was able to handle the monsters with ease.
Then they encountered a rather dangerous enemy, a creature that could spew water waves. Mia used the points she had earned earlier to exchange for 20 points of Life Energy in the temporary exchange area, leveling up to LV2.
In addition, she ate some good food last night and this morning, and her strength has recovered a lot. Although she is still a little hungry, her fighting power is definitely not what it used to be.
After killing the aquatic creatures by working together, everyone arrived at a place that resembled an outdoor Arena, where they faced a series of monsters.
Everyone was wounded in the end, but none of them died.
Then I completed that mission: the battle of the beasts, and received a reward of 10 Life Energy and a lot of points.
Back in reality, she leveled herself up to LV4.
The panel now looks like this:
[Mia (Level 3 Member)]
[LV: 4]
Experience: 0/50
[Attributes: Strength 1.4, Constitution 1.2, Agility 1.3, Spirit 1.1, Intelligence 1.2, Resistance 0.5]
[Skill: Chaotic Sword Technique (White)]
Points: 98
Life Energy: 0
[Note: Malnutrition and hunger have led to a slight decrease in strength and physical condition.]
That's already level 4, which is incredibly impressive.
After treating his injuries, he still has 98 points left.
This amount of points is not enough to advance to the next level, because that requires 50 Life Energy, which is equivalent to 250 points.
But things are getting smoother and smoother, aren't they?
