There is a hill in the corner of the treasure cave. Most of the ores have never been seen before, so it is difficult to judge the rarity, so there is no way to judge the value. The ores here are all grade 2-4, and there are several grade 5 materials. They are also grade 4 ores, but the value of different types may vary several times, or even more than ten times.
There isn't much that the three of them can take away, so they can't choose blindly.
"Wood, there is a magic storage crystal!"
Leng Yun let out an exclamation.
In the middle of the ore crystal, there is indeed a crystal clear and slightly blue magic storage crystal.
[Level 3 Magic Storage Crystal], a crystal containing pure magic energy, contains a total of 3452 points of magic value. No more than 300 points can be taken in at a time, and it can be taken in once every 1 minute.
The magic storage crystals here have not been divided into standard parts. They are all prototype crystals mined from the mines. Each magic storage crystal is different in size. Therefore, the magical energy contained in them is also different. The magic storage crystal is a consumable product. It is a crystal formed by the condensation of pure magic energy in nature. It is a pure magic crystal and cannot be produced.
The dwarves do not have mages, and warriors do not have high demand for magic. A large number of precious magic crystals are idle here, and are generally used to exchange supplies with foreign races.
Du Rongrong also looked surprised: "Let's take the magic storage crystal. This thing is dozens of times more expensive than the same grade of ore. If you have money, there is nowhere to buy it!"
"Just pick a few big ones, don't take too many."
Among the many bad qualities dwarves hate most is greed. Because of the greed of the aliens, the dwarves suffered many disasters, and countless fellow dwarves died in hunting. Therefore, Zhang Mu cannot act too greedy, lest he displeases the dwarves.
Zhang Mu picked 2 large crystals with a magic storage capacity of over 6,000 points. Du Rongrong and Leng Yun each picked 3 pieces, which also had a magic storage capacity of around 6,000 points. The average price of these 8 magic storage crystals is more than 15,000 gold coins. Two magic storage crystals can be exchanged for an ordinary level 25 gold weapon.
"Just take this little?"
Bronzebeard was a little surprised.
Zhang Mu replied: "The human race's forging technology is not developed enough. Even if the high-grade ore is brought back, it will not be of its full value."
Bronze Beard Head is very satisfied with the human race. Most foreign races will have difficulty restraining their inner greed when facing the treasure mountain. The human race is not greedy, which is a precious quality. It is also one of the important prerequisites for interacting with dwarves.
Zhang Mu also visited the collection room. There were 100,000 weapons and more than 50,000 sets of armor stored in the collection room. Everything stored in the collection room was at least silver quality. In addition, there were more than a thousand pieces of gold equipment and several pieces of dwarf equipment. The treasure of the town treasury is dark gold level!
Dwarves manufacture black iron equipment and bronze equipment in huge quantities and sell them instead of storing them in warehouses.
There are hundreds of thousands of dwarves in the mines, totaling more than 100,000 households. Each household will have a young man as a blacksmith.
The monthly output of black ironware in the Nonoa gold mine reaches more than 500,000 pieces. They are often sold to foreigners or commercial organizations at low single-digit prices. Or they are too lazy to go to the town and sell them directly to stores, and the latter prices are even lower. Some. The output of bronze equipment is less, but it sells better. The gold coins earned from it need to subsidize the dwarf family, which is used to maintain the mine, develop the mine, maintain the forging equipment, update the equipment, and buy food to feed hundreds of thousands of people.
In fact, dwarves guard the treasure mountain and have natural forging talents, so they can live a prosperous life.
It’s just that dwarves don’t like wealth. They are paranoid and have strong principles. No matter how poor they are, they will never sell ore. Almost half of the equipment they forged is self-destructed. This is the tradition of the dwarves. Even if it is the lowest-grade black iron weapon, the dwarves will ensure the best quality, although no one is willing to pay more gold coins for it!
"More than 100,000 pieces of silver weapons!"
"If this were sold, it would be worth at least tens of millions, not to mention 50,000 sets of armor. The cash stored in the spaceship by Ice King is only worth more than 10 million."
"There is no comparison. In the glory days of the Ice Demon Clan, the population was only over 100,000. On the barren and hopeless ice field, it is already very good to have the ability to collect tens of millions of wealth."
After taking the humans to visit the storage, Bronzebeard returned to the upper level of the Nonoa gold mine.
As soon as the few people stepped out of the elevator, the enticing aroma of barbecue spread throughout the Black Hammer tribe. The dwarves do not eat at home and basically do not eat vegetarian food, so they all gather outside for a collective barbecue. Every household takes out the raw meat and grills it directly with the fire well, without any cooking skills.
The dwarves do not have a chef profession, so the food processor is extremely crude. Although they often catch some precious prey, they cannot process it well and cannot produce one-tenth of the value.
Although the food is mediocre.
However, dwarf beer and dwarf tobacco leaves have a different flavor.
The beer of the dwarves is different from that on earth. It is fermented with magic plants, and some energy powder is added. The final drink is made with a bone-chilling feeling and is extremely cold. As for the dwarf tobacco, on the contrary, it is extremely hot, and taking a puff is like being thrown into the fire.
Enjoying cold beer and tobacco leaves together gives people a feeling of being in the ninth heaven of ice and fire!
Master Bronzebeard said carelessly: "You guys, come to my house and bring the three-headed demon bear meat you ate yesterday!"
Several large pieces of meat with blood stains on them were brought over.
Zhang Mu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it.
This is C grade food!
The three-headed demon bear is an overlord-level monster, and it is an overlord-level monster around level 40. The energy contained in its flesh and blood is extremely powerful. Humans are generally less than level 30. If they eat the meat of a certain bear on the earth, they will absorb the essence. Finally, it may also have the effect of increasing experience. Long-term use can strengthen the body and improve physical fitness, thereby increasing a small amount of attributes.
Bronzebeard held the meat with tongs and put it on the fire well to bake.
"etc!"
Zhang Mu quickly called out.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Mu said: "C-level ingredients are very precious. It is convenient to roast them directly, but it is also too wasteful. I happen to know some cooking skills, so you might as well leave it to me."
Bronzebeard was very surprised: "Do you know magic cooking?"
The dwarf's eyes were all focused. Zhang Mu didn't know it would cause such a big reaction. He didn't know something, because dwarves don't have magic chefs, so they can only use primitive methods to grill everything. Doing so will result in the loss of food energy, and dwarves need several times the food to replenish their body's supply.
If there were a group of highly skilled cooking chefs to ensure food nutrition and energy to the greatest extent, the food needs of the dwarves would be reduced at least several times, and the pressure of survival would naturally be greatly reduced!
Of course Zhang Mu doesn't know that magical cooking is sometimes crucial to a race!
"Why, can't it?"
"sure!"
Bronzebeard's eyes were shining. The last time he ate magic food, he bought it from a caravan more than ten years ago. Magical food is like a rare benefit to the dwarves. Many dwarves can only eat rough and rotten food throughout their lives.
The dwarf got a dozen C-level ingredients!
Food of this level is extremely rare among humans.
It has been almost a month since Zhang Mu left the ice field. Because the ice field is difficult to hunt, Zhang Mu usually does not go out. He stays in the tavern in the ice field, holding the reserved ingredients every day and practicing his cooking skills. Currently, his cooking skills have reached a bottleneck. It is only one step away to enter [Expert Level].
This is a precious opportunity. Zhang Mu may be able to break through the bottleneck and officially become an expert chef with the help of the dwarves' high-end ingredients. After [Expert Level], there are [Master Level] life professionals. Those who can become masters in any field of life are extremely rare. The chef who is currently missing is a cooking master, and the dwarf Bronzebeard in front of him is a forger. Grandmaster.
A master figure is popular wherever he goes.
here we go.
Zhang Mu took out the magic pot he carried with him, controlled the magic pot to rise into the air, directly put the meat of the three demon bears, and then put in various supplementary food ingredients, began to activate the power of cooking skills, and began to stew the bear meat. C-grade meat contains extremely high energy, and professional chefs have limited control capabilities. It is not easy to stimulate all the energy of C-grade food.
However, Zhang Mu felt that he had become a little different.
The spirit becomes extraordinarily delicate, able to penetrate into bear meat, gain insight into its structure, and accurately input magic power. This is the influence of the Sleeping Lake in the Emerald City. The effect will last for many days, making people's spirits extra sensitive and their use of magical power also significantly enhanced.
Zhang Mu adjusted the heat and magic output little by little, and processed the food patiently. The alluring aroma soon spread, and the dwarves couldn't help but salivate when they smelled the aroma. Zhang Mu feels that the bottleneck of cooking skills is beginning to loosen. The last one or two points of proficiency are the most difficult to improve. At this moment, there is already a breakthrough trend.
"open!"
Zhang Mu shouted, the magic pot opened, and brilliant flames spurted out. The pieces of meat were carried into the air by the fire, and the golden soup evenly wrapped the bear meat.
"receive!"
Under Zhang Mu's urging, the meat absorbed the thick soup like a sponge, and finally fell back into the pot.
The moment it is finished.
Zhang Mu seemed to have an epiphany.
The last bit of proficiency in professional cooking skills increased, but it was not stable. Zhang Mu struck while the iron was hot and used the magic storage crystal to replenish his magic. Then he made a second batch of C-level food, making 7 portions in one go. The cooking was stable at the critical point. superior.
Zhang Mu met the criteria for advanced expert chef, and immediately took out the scroll left by the chef to upgrade. A bright light rose into the sky, and countless more advanced magic cooking skills all poured into Zhang Mu's mind. At this moment, Zhang Mu , has advanced to the level of an expert chef.
"Tip: Get the title [Expert Chef]!"
"Okay, breakthrough!"
Zhang Mu was overjoyed.
The title of Expert Chef has a very strong effect and can greatly improve your spirit, as well as your cooking ability and speed. When Zhang Mu cooks food, using the title of Life Profession can greatly increase efficiency. When fighting, using the title of [Lord of Dawn] can comprehensively improve his attributes.
"gourmet food!"
"Delicious food made by magic cooking!"
The dwarves rushed forward, salivating, and competed for the delicious magical food.
Zhang Mu's advanced expert chef was able to process dozens of meals at the same time, just like the great chefs at that time, and he could complete it in a very short time with such high efficiency that it was unimaginable. Thousands of magic foods can be made per hour, provided of course there is enough magic.
Bronzebeard brought more than a hundred magic storage crystals so that Zhang Mu had no worries about magic.
Zhang Mugang had just advanced to become an expert chef and still needed to consolidate. Naturally, he did not disappoint the dwarf and began to process food crazily. Hundreds and thousands of foods were produced, and the entire Nonoya gold mine went crazy.
