Chapter 42: Preparations Before Leaving
I spent the full moon night safely, and at the same time I gained a lot. In addition to the Triceratops skeleton providing Jia Zhengjin with good trophies, the countless skeletons, in addition to the ones that were too late to be looted and refreshed, also revealed a lot of inferior equipment, jewelry, minerals, and 10 gold coins.
Of course, the skill points obtained by upgrading two levels in a row are also a great gain!
Now Jia Zhengjin is level 9, and he needs 25,600 experience points to reach level 10. That's a lot of money, and if you count on the skeleton's experience, he needs to kill at least 2,560 skeletons to level up!
After upgrading, the two skill points are decisively added to the steel crafting unlock and the cement crafting unlocking.
After unlocking Steel Crafting, you can craft more advanced Steel Tools and Steel Weapon Armor, as well as some Steel Furniture Equipment. As for cement production, of course, it is necessary to upgrade an ordinary stone brick house to a more solid cement house.
For Jia Zhengjin, a stronger and safer base is the foundation of his foothold in this world.
"Wow~~" In the early morning, Tina, who was wearing a sandalwood necklace, happily followed Jia Zhengjin to appear in the garden. When she saw the beautiful scenery in the garden and smelled the incomparably attractive fragrance of flowers, she couldn't help but be intoxicated.
"Tina, come here!" Jia Zhengjin beckoned lightly to her side. Then he carefully plucked a lily petal away, revealing the sleeping forest elf inside.
When Tina sees a goblin, she opens her mouth to swallow an egg. She clenched Jia Zhengjin's hand tightly with excitement and looked at this beautiful creature with burning eyes.
"Shh~~" Jia Zhengjin made a silent gesture to her, signaling not to wake up the forest goblin. These beautiful little ones are very shy to exist. Because Jia Zhengjin built them a garden, they had a slightly better relationship with each other. But Tina is a stranger to them, and if she says hello rashly, she will definitely scare each other. When you get familiar with it later, you'll be fine!
"This is the nectar brewed by the forest elves!" As Tina happily peeked at the other forest elves, Jia Zhengjin took out the elves from the middle of the garden to brew overnight as bottled food for rent.
I carefully opened the cap of the bottle, dipped my finger a little and put it in my mouth, and an intoxicating sweet taste immediately came to my heart. It feels like the taste of first love...... Jia Zhengjin looked back at Tina, with a happy smile on his face: "Tina, you can taste it too!"
Tina heard Jia Zhengjin's voice, and when she got up, she saw him dip a little nectar in her finger and send it over, so she didn't hesitate to open her small mouth and gently hold it. Then there was a look of surprise on her face, and she winked happily at Jia Zhengjin.
"It's great to have a bottle of nectar every day!" Jia Zhengjin hugged Tina, "Let's not wake up the forest goblins, let them have a good rest!"
The kobold started work early in the morning, and fifty miners were working hard around the base, constantly delivering resources to the open space of the base.
The kobold soldiers were also led by the kobold leader, and went out early to hunt and stock up on raw meat, while the werewolf Wolf replaced Jia Zhengjin and became the overseer of this team.
Now, even if Jia Zhengjin is not here to supervise, the kobolds will carry out their work every day, so there is no need to worry.
"Is the fish-flavored shredded pork delicious?" The breakfast was fish-flavored shredded pork with nectar, cooked by Jia Zhengjin himself.
From Tina's mouth full of oil and smiling expression, it can be seen that she likes it very much.
Jia Zhengjin stretched out his hand to gently wipe the oil stains from the corners of her mouth, looked at her tenderly and said, "Today, let's build the resource exchange first, and then upgrade the beast pen." We try to catch a triceratops before dark and come back and tame it as a mount. Then tomorrow, I will accompany you home to visit your relatives! If you can, I will take my father-in-law and mother-in-law to live with me. ”
Tina basically didn't understand, but she understood the word "go home", so she happily kissed Jia Zhengjin's face.
At noon, the resource exchange was successfully built.
There are a total of 10 resources in the exchange: [Gold Coins], [Iron Ore], [Copper Ore], [Silver Ore], [Gold Ore], [Diamond], [Amethyst], [Obsidian], [Raw Meat], and [Wild Fruit].
These resources are all exchangeable with each other, and the amount of resources required for exchange varies depending on the value. For example, one gold coin can be exchanged for 1,000 raw meat, and the same gold coin can be exchanged for 5,000 wild fruits. The most expensive is Amethyst, which costs 5,000 gold coins to exchange for one, followed by obsidian, which costs 3,000 gold coins for one, diamond which costs 1,000 gold coins for one, and gold ore for 10 gold coins, and one gold coin for 10 silver ores or 100 copper ore and iron ore.
It seems that there is no need to worry about hiring kobold miners in the future! as long as you find a gold mine, you can afford a larger army of kobold miners and kobold soldiers!
It's just that the most recent gold and silver mines are in the deeper forests. And in that area, there are even more dangerous creatures, especially the giant python that breathes fire......
In the afternoon, Jia Zhengjin took Tina and rounded with Wolf and the kobold team. Now that the normal hunt is over, they have to go to the vicinity of the lake to capture one or two lone triceratops and take them home to be domesticated into mounts!
The Triceratops mount can sit or fight, and a large part of the forest beasts are not its opponents. Unless it's magical beasts that use magic, or carnivorous otherworldly predators!
"Worf, are you sure it's okay?" asked Jia Zhengjin, who reached the hill near the lake and was hidden behind the rocks.
"Leave it to me!" Wolf was full of confidence, "With my combat power and strong self-healing ability, a triceratops can definitely withstand it easily!"
"Alright, you'll have to lure the Triceratops you've picked up, and then work with the kobold crossbowmen to get it below half health. But remember that you must not be killed! When it is powerless to resist, it will be easier to drive it all the way to the base pens!" Jia Zhengjin advised, "Remember not to drive it back to the base when it is full of health, that will destroy my animal pen!"
"Don't worry! It means that its combat effectiveness is minimized, and there is no way to destroy the beast pen and facilitate domestication!"
"That's right!" Jia Zhengjin gave a thumbs up, "I'll give you the wind with Tina over here, come on!"
"Leave it to us!" Wolf immediately turned to the kobold team, "you stay where you are, and I'll give you a signal when I get back!"
