"Your city building: Blacksmith has been upgraded, the current shop level: level 3, and the daily production capacity has been increased to 300 points. ”

"You're already able to unlock and produce standard elite gear. ”

"The Blacksmith has added craftable elite equipment (blue): Refined Iron Bow, Refined Iron Armor, Refined Iron Sword, Refined Greatsword. ”

After Bai Xiaowen saw this prompt message on the lord's console, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of surprise.

Mass production of blue gear!

It turns out that the level 3 blacksmith shop can mass-produce blue suits! In this way, the mid-range market of the Earth Awakened will also be occupied by Bai Xiaowen. Bai Xiaowen has discovered a new profit growth point for his store, and the profit of blue clothing is much higher than that of whiteboard and rough equipment.

Bai Xiaowen inquired, and the daily production capacity required for each standard blue suit reached 50 points, which was ten times higher than that of the whiteboard equipment! This is also normal, because the value of the blue suit itself is more than ten times higher than that of the whiteboard equipment.

With a daily production capacity of 300 points, it can produce 6 pieces of blue outfit or 60 pieces of whiteboard equipment. But the problem is that given the increasingly saturated market, the demand for low-end equipment such as rough gray and plain white is gradually shrinking, while blue equipment is definitely in short supply as long as the price is reasonable.

Rough and ordinary quality equipment is novice equipment, aimed at the quasi-awakened and the newly awakened newcomers.

You must know that even the awakened people like Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, who are equipped with luxurious equipment, have blue suits that have not yet been replaced.

It's just that the additional attributes of these standard mass production blue outfits are relatively low, generally at 1~2 points. The standard blue outfit has no equipment requirements or level restrictions, so it can't be too demanding.

And Cecilia is also very happy, what she values is not the addition of elite-level blue suits, but some new whiteboard equipment, standard iron bows, standard broadswords, and so on.

With these equipment, Cecilia will be able to train strong archers, and the garrison of White Rock will be even stronger.

It's not just the blacksmith that will be upgraded, but also the production buildings such as the jewelry shop, the mill, and so on.

It is worth mentioning that the Mill, after the arrival of a junior pastry chef, the mill level has been increased to level 2, the daily production capacity has reached 100 points, and the product is no longer just ordinary rye bread, a new food has been added:

[Rye Snack: Food, restores 25 HP within 5 seconds after consumption.] Food can only be used once in a battle. 】

Compared to rye bread, rye snacks have 10 more health points to recover, almost doubling the amount of health! Due to the limit on the number of times each battle and food and recovery items, the value of food that can restore more health at a time is by no means as simple as doubling.

It can also be seen from the production and energy consumption costs that each piece of rye snack consumes 5 points of production capacity, which is five times that of rye bread.

"Then, in terms of price, rye snacks also have to be appropriately raised, after all, this is a relatively high-end product, and the audience is above the intermediate level, and the awakened people above the elite level will definitely pay a good price for rye snacks. ”

Bai Xiaowen touched his chin: "On the basis of rye bread, the price will be increased tenfold...... Well, that's a bit too much to sell for 1,000 psionic points, right? It's better to subtract two points and only sell 998!heyhehehehe......"

The upgrade of the blacksmith shop and the mill has added two more fist products to Bai Xiaowen's virtual store, and he is very satisfied.

Other production buildings have also been upgraded with the arrival of various professionals. For example, the jewelry store has been upgraded to level 2, and it can produce ordinary quality tabula rasa jewelry, but it is still useless, and the awakened will not buy this kind of tabula rasa jewelry that does not attach any attributes, only decorates.

Only when the Jewelry Shop reaches level 3 and a blue elite ring, necklace, or accessory appears will be able to sell for a good price.

Bai Xiaowen inspected White Rock City accompanied by Cecilia, and time was gradually passing.

......

When the three-day deadline arrived, Dr. Zombie finally sent a message and asked Bai Xiaowen to return to the research institute.

In the research institute, Bai Xiaowen saw a zombie doctor with a pair of dark circles and bloodshot goldfish eyes.

"How's things going?" Bai Xiaowen asked. He muttered to himself if he was too much, if Dr. Zombie was tired, there would be no one to replace him. However, as soon as he thought that Dr. Zombie was an undead physique, Bai Xiaowen was relieved.

"Dear BOSS, after a long period of research and verification, I finally have a preliminary grasp of ...... No, I've finally mastered this new technology! Although I'm not able to make an identical voodoo core due to the materials and craftsmanship right now, I can make some tweaks to the original product to make it more suitable for this stitching monster......!

Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and interrupted the zombie doctor who was like a river: "Let's just talk about the effect of the change." ”

Dr. Zombie was choked and could only turn the page back of the experiment report in his hand: "Effect...... Well, the effect is that it reduces the negative effects of the voodoo core, enhances the autonomous consciousness of the stitching monster, and makes it resonate with foreign psionic equipment!"

“...... Speak human words. ”

"Well, let's be honest, Stitchers can wear psionic gear and use the power of it. Dr. Zombie lowered his head and said, "Of course, he can only use the equipment of the head, top, and main and secondary weapons at this stage, but this is a good start, boss ......"

Bai Xiaowen's eyes narrowed slightly, and after understanding what Dr. Zombie meant, he opened his eyes again: "Can you really use equipment?"

"Yes...... Yes!" Dr. Zombie didn't understand the reason for Bai Xiaowen's excitement.

Bai Xiaowen suppressed his excitement and sat back in his chair: "There is no evidence, you first fuse the voodoo core back and let the fat boy come back to life." ”

After three days, the fat boy, who has been dormant, already has a slight smell of rot on his body. Dr. Zombie skillfully wields a scalpel to manipulate the adjusted voodoo core and sew it into the fat boy's cranial cavity again.

Bai Xiaowen held his breath and waited for the result. Whether the fat boy can wake up or not, and whether he will lose this summoned creature forever, depends on this time.

The phantom of Delifa revealed from the surface of the black soul stone at some point. She is also waiting for the results.

Dr. Zombie finished stitching and patted the brain shell of the fat boy lying on the test table: "Hey, hey, can you hear me...... Hey!"

The fat boy didn't move at all.

"Master, it seems that Dr. Zombie has betrayed your trust, and it is necessary to punish him accordingly. Delifa smiled.

“...... No, I can't go wrong with my professionalism...... Even if you don't meet the reinforcement standard, at least you can wake up......" Dr. Zombie hugged his head and muttered quietly.

Drifa: "Stop struggling, go back to the Black Soul Stone!"

"Wait, Drifa. ”

Bai Xiaowen suddenly stopped the banshee's movements, he closed his eyes slightly, and activated his telepathic ability to connect with the fat boy's consciousness stars.

The fat boy consciousness Xingchen, who had been silent and unable to communicate, actually responded. Like waking up a person who is sleeping, this response is a process of increasing from weak to strong.

"Huh?"

With a confused chirp, the fat boy's eyes slowly opened. He stretched his arms out, and his massive body sat up.

A burst of light flashed through the fat boy's body, and the big fat man, who originally had a rotten aura, finally recovered with full blood.

"I succeeded! I'll just say, my research will never go wrong!" Doctor Zombie exclaimed excitedly, finally without having to go back to the little dark room.

Bai Xiaowen got a hint of the rules of the spirit world.

"Your Minion: Stitching Monster Fat Boy has a new evolutionary effect due to the implantation of the modified Voodoo Core. ”

"Your Minion: Stitch Fat Boy evolved into: Butcher. ”

【Butcher (Elite Level 5)】

[Race: Undead Race/Necro Race]

[Attributes: Strength 23, Agility 13, Constitution 30, Spirit 7]

[Skill 1: Slaughterhouse: Passive, whenever a hostile target dies around, the butcher's maximum HP is permanently increased by 1~30 points (depending on the target level and template). The Butcher's maximum health is increased to a maximum of 200% of his initial health, and if the maximum is reached, the passive effect restores his current health instead. 】

[Skill 2: Rot: The Butcher exudes a rotten aura, dealing toxin damage based on 1% of max HP to self every second, and enemies in melee range will receive the same amount of toxin damage and take 5% of the slowing effect.] The number of stacks of decay increases as the skill continues to be activated, stacking one stack every 3 seconds, up to a maximum of 5 stacks. 】

[Skill 3: Meat Hook: Omitted.] 】

Compared with before, the skin and flesh on the surface of the fat boy's body have become firmer, and it actually has a muscular outline, which reminds Bai Xiaowen of the classic BOSS butcher image in the Diablo series.

In terms of attributes, the Butcher has not changed much from the Stitch period.

However, the change in skill is a kind of earth-shaking feeling.

Skill 1 "Slaughterhouse" is a cut stronger than the bloated body during the Stitching Monster period and the puffiness during the Voodoo Suture period. This is a growth-type skill, as long as Bai Xiaowen is diligent in farming monsters, it won't take long to grow to a complete body, and the upper limit of health will be doubled! Moreover, there is no puffy defense reduction effect.

What's more, when the maximum HP increases to full value, the effect of the slaughterhouse will change to restore health, which greatly increases the endurance of the butcher, and when combined with the second skill, it complements each other.

Skill 2 "Rot", similar to "Corrupt Blood" during the Voodoo Stitch period, is a mobile AOE skill. The difference is that Rotten is activated actively, while Corrupt Blood is activated only when it is passively beaten. Although the Corrupt Blood skill can be activated by the forced damage of other summons, it is not as flexible and proactive as the Butcher himself.

Stacking every 3 seconds, the stacking speed is still very fast. Once stacked to 5 stacks, it deals 30 Theoretical Toxin damage per second to every enemy in melee range, plus a 25% slow, which is extraordinary.

And after the death of the surrounding enemies, the fat boy can also recover blood through the first skill slaughterhouse, which is not too shameless.

As for the meat hook skills, needless to say, it's a matter of family.

The strength of these three skills can already be compared with the skills of some bosses. Today's fat boy is at least at the level of a rare elite.

As for the equipment slot, Bai Xiaowen took a look, as Dr. Zombie said, at present, the fat boy can wear a helmet, a cuirass and a main and off-hand weapon.

"Summoned creatures can also wear equipment?" Bai Xiaowen felt a little incredible.

As a matter of common sense, minions cannot be equipped with psionic energy. This is also the reason why summoned creatures of the same level and template are weaker than the attributes of the Awakened or Spirit Monsters.

For example, the total attributes of the spirit characters of the level 5 elite template are about 80~90 points (counting the total attributes of the equipment bonus). Elite creatures have a base stat increase of 7~9 points per upgrade.

And the spirit realm characters of the level 6 elite template can reach a maximum of 105 points in total. How did this extra 6 attributes come about?

The answer is four words, equipment bonus.

If a spirit character is subdued by a summoner and becomes a summoned creature, without autonomous consciousness, it will not be able to activate psionic equipment (generate psionic particle resonance), and of course, it will not be able to exert the attribute bonus of psionic equipment.

As for the mutant beast being subdued and becoming a summoned beast, it will also be weakened without discrimination, and the reason for this is probably the reason why the wild one has become domesticated...... It's common sense that domestic dogs can't fight wild dogs.

Of course, instead of believing that this was common sense, Bai Xiaowen believed that this was an automatic constraint of the rules of the spirit world, so that there was no obvious difference in attributes between summoned beasts of the same level and humanoid summoned creatures.

If the tamed summoned beast is as strong as the attributes of the wild mutant beast, which is equivalent to a spirit figure of the same level who wears all the psionic equipment, then when the summoner chooses the summon, he will choose the beast instead of the humanoid summoned creature.

However, although the attributes have been weakened, the skills have not been weakened, which is why the boss-level minions can still play a role.

To sum up, a summoned creature is equivalent to the attribute of a spirit creature of the same level that does not wear equipment.

Of course, the summoner's mental power can provide attribute bonuses for summoned creatures, but these attribute bonuses are not enough to make up for the gap in the lack of equipment.

Bai Xiaowen is a little better, in addition to the mental power bonus, his psychic mentor is passive professionally, and he can add 20% of all attributes, which makes up for the gap in equipment to a certain extent. This is also the reason why Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures can fight against monsters of the same level, and even defeat them repeatedly.

Now, Dr. Zombie has told Bai Xiaowen that his minions can be worn!

"If my summoned creatures can make up for the lack of equipment, plus my psychic mentor bonus and spiritual power bonus, wouldn't they fly into the sky one by one?" This was the only thought hovering in Bai Xiaowen's mind.
