Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Kobold Slinger
After returning from a hunting trip, a total of 97 pieces of raw meat and a large number of other resources were obtained. However, the sacrifices of Flock and Bunker halved the actual gain!
In the past, Jia Zhengjin could barely scrape together more than 200 iron ore in a whole day, but now 10 kobold miners can provide about 10,000 pieces of wood, 800 pieces of iron ore, and 800 pieces of copper ore every day.
According to Jia Zhengjin's observation of the moon at night, it is estimated that there will be about ten days left on the next full moon night. So in order to recruit werewolves as soon as possible, all resources are now focused on upgrading kobold lairs.
【NEWS】Kobold Lair Successfully Upgraded to Lv2! You can recruit new troops!
【News】The kobold slinger is now open for recruitment!
Kobold Slingers are very timid, but can attack enemies from a distance with stones. The hiring price is 15 raw meat, and 4 raw meat is consumed daily.
"Slinger?" Jia Zhengjin tried to recruit one first, and a small thing that looked similar to an ordinary kobold immediately appeared in front of him. However, there was a basket behind it, which contained a basket full of stones.
After the upgrade, the resources that the ten kobold miners have worked hard to collect in the past two days have been consumed. The materials needed for the next upgrade of the kobold lair will be 40,000 pieces of wood, 2,000 pieces of iron ore, and 2,000 pieces of copper ore!
The amount of materials required for each upgrade is multiplied, which is a terrible amount! It seems that more kobold miners will have to be recruited in order to be able to raise the kobold lair to full level before the full moon night!
Recruiting kobold miners requires more raw meat and daily consumption. It seems that the most important thing right now is to hunt first and expand the team!
Jia Zhengjin took out all the raw meat that he had collected with great difficulty and recruited it. This time, two kobold warriors were re-recruited, as well as another kobold slinger.
There are only a few pieces left of the raw meat resources in an instant, so I can only continue to go out hunting, otherwise I won't have to eat dinner!
The giant elephant with two noses just now actually used tactics and sacrificed some kobolds to hope to defeat. However, Jia Zhengjin thought about it for a while, or gave up this gambling shortcut for the time being.
First of all, looking for a lone giant animal like this is a waste of time. Secondly, the large number of kobolds lost in battle may not be able to recoup. Third, even if it can pay off. Rather than exhausting your mind to fight such a dangerous creature, it is safer to hunt small and medium-sized ones.
As long as you persist for more than ten days, and summon a werewolf on the night of the full moon, it should be no problem to take on this creature alone, right?
The newly recruited kobold warriors are called Xiao Ke and Duke, but Jia Zhengjin doesn't think it makes sense! Even if they have a name, they are just two stupid kobolds, who don't know how to think at all except to obey orders to fight!
The team set off again and began to hunt the largest number of chocobos and whackriss in the vicinity.
The kobold warrior was as brave and swift as ever, raising his bone spear in hot pursuit of his prey.
The addition of kobold slingers makes the battle even easier!
Kobold warriors can't catch up with animals, but they can throw rocks with unerring accuracy, hitting their target's body. Although the damage is not high, animals hit by rocks have a chance to be stunned, creating more opportunities for kobold warriors to hunt!
On this trip, the harvest was more than twice as good as before. When he returned in the evening, Jia Zhengjin brought back more than 200 pieces of raw meat. Leaving 100 pieces of raw meat for tomorrow's food, the remaining 100 pieces of meat recruited four kobold miners and two kobold warriors.
The ranks are growing, and the food consumption is increasing. However, with four kobold warriors and two kobold slingers, the hunting results can be further improved, and they can be fully supplied.
The way of fighting and raising war is the fastest way to continuously enhance at present!
And a whole day of hunting not only allowed Jia Zhengjin to collect a large amount of raw meat, fur and offal, but also allowed him to directly upgrade to level 6 and obtain a new skill point.
Level 6 to level 7 requires 3,200 XP, and the requirements are getting higher and higher.
A large amount of animal fur had been accumulated in the warehouse, so Jia Zhengjin decisively added this skill point to [Making Leather].
After dinner that day, he took out all the animal skins from the warehouse and worked in the room until the early hours of the morning, finally making all the animal skins into leather!
Leather is a very good resource, because it can finally be processed on the tool table to make a complete set of [Leather Hat], [Leather Coat], [Leather Wrist Guard], [Leather Knee Pad], [Leather Boots].
Most importantly, leather is an essential material for making crossbows!
As a long-range weapon with N times greater lethality than bows and arrows, the crossbow is also an important weapon for hunting!
The crossbow is powerful and has a very long range. If you poison the arrows, it is not impossible to shoot small and medium-sized otherworldly creatures after a few hundred meters! When encountering a giant otherworldly creature with slow moving speed, it can even perform kite flying tactics, and it is safer than a bow and arrow.
The next upgraded skill point, Jia Zhengjin will definitely leave it to the crossbow!
A full set of leather clothes is obviously more beautiful than the fiber suit, and it also has a better warmth effect than the fiber suit!
In addition to this, a large number of other leather furniture can finally be produced. For example, leather sofas, leather wardrobes, leather boxes, etc.
Oh, yes, and leather can be used to make bellows, which can greatly speed up the melting of metal in furnaces.
The next task, in addition to collecting raw meat to expand the team and collecting resources to upgrade the kobold lair, is to upgrade yourself to level 7, and then unlock the crossbow to get more powerful weapons!
Full of beautiful thoughts, Jia Zhengjin finally dragged his tired body back to the bedroom, lay on the bed and hugged Tina, who was already asleep.
Like a kitten, Tina instinctively burrowed into his arms.
Jia Zhengjin looked down at her sleeping beautiful face, and couldn't help but bow his head and kiss the cheek that could be broken. Even if it's for Tina, he has to improve his strength as soon as possible and get more powerful power! He doesn't want Tina to live with him in this dangerous forest for the rest of his life, so he can only be strong enough to protect himself, enough to protect Tina, and enough to face this completely strange world. He was able to take Tina to appear in front of all the otherworldly humans without any scruples, so that Tina could live happily in this world!
