It's no exaggeration to say so.
Because master-level production professionals have the ability to create epic items that can be passed down in previous lives, any epic-level item can become a sacred artifact that has been passed down to a large family for hundreds of generations or even longer. This is like the coffin of Pluto. This is a sacred artifact that has been passed down by the undead from outside for thousands of years. Owning the Pluto's Coffin is equivalent to owning millions of undead legions. It is an extremely powerful treasure.
As for the grandmaster chef, it is not easy. A grandmaster chef can cook A-grade food. A-grade food needs to be made with A-grade ingredients. What are A-grade ingredients? Only the ingredients collected from the holy beasts are A-grade ingredients. The food made from this kind of ingredients has long gone beyond the scope of food and is better than any panacea. If a person with a strong Holy Spirit takes a bite, it will be of great benefit!
The human race is growing extremely fast, both in terms of its own strength and in terms of life and career.
It only took Zhang Mu one year to become an expert chef. It would take about ten years for an alien producer with good talent. With the help of powerful cookbooks, Zhang Mu can quickly become a master cooking chef.
exchange!
Zhang Mu only has 500 points left to contribute.
Zhang Mu opened other categories and found the elixir category, which contained many precious elixirs.
[Breaking Earth Pill], a B-level pill, is used to break through the bottleneck of the peak of the Earth Spirit. It can only be used once and will be invalid if used again. The exchange price is 450 contribution points.
Zhang Mu was very surprised.
The Earth-Breaking Pill is very similar to the Heaven-Building Pill, but its effect is not as good as the Heaven-Building Pill. Such a pill actually requires 450 contribution points. If it were sold to the outside world, it would be absolutely impossible to get it without five or six hundred thousand gold coins. As for the price in an auction house, the price would be even higher!
The material cost of a better Sky-Building Pill is about 100,000 gold coins. Taking into account the probability of failure in refining the pill, the cost is 200,000-300,000 gold coins. After refining one piece, the profit is more than 3-5 times higher. Although some materials are rare and difficult to buy, this is not a problem for Zhang Mu who has access to the mysterious store.
Once you become a master in the field of life, it is simply a cash cow.
Zhang Mu checked potions and alchemy again, and the situation was similar. It was very easy for a master producer to make a fortune every day. Seeing the huge profits and benefits, Zhang Mu couldn't help but become more eager to have a few master alchemy professionals in the mercenary group.
"Breaking Earth Pill... changed!"
Zhang Mu gritted his teeth and exchanged for the Earth-Breaking Pill.
The Earth-Breaking Pill may be able to add a strong Heavenly Spirit to Huangquan. Now that Huangquan really needs combat power, only one Heavenly Spirit is really not enough. Zhang Mu thought about it again and again, and finally gave the Earth Breaking Pill directly to Ye Qianqiu for use.
Zhang Mu's subordinates can be divided into several levels according to their strength. Xie and Ye Qianqiu are the strongest, the second are Leng Yun and Lei Ming, and the third are the other core members including Fatty, Sanggou, and Du Rongrong. Among them, the one with the strongest frontal combat power is undoubtedly Ye Qianqiu. He has two offensive Holy Spirit skills and is an all-attack professional. If the equipment is similar, Zhang Mu does not need the Chaos Inscription. It is difficult to resist its frontal offensive.
Without saying a word, Ye Qianqiu immediately took the Broken Earth Pill and found a quiet place to start retreating.
Zhang Mu used a master-level cookbook to elevate his cooking skills to a bottleneck stage. Zhang Mu knew in his heart that the opportunity for a breakthrough had come. He immediately spent several thousand green crystal coins to buy a large amount of top-quality Tianling ingredients from Zhonghai City, asked Qiao Weier to borrow a kitchen, and began to concentrate on practicing cooking.
The whole night passed.
the next morning.
A strong wave of energy radiated from Qiaoweier Castle, followed by a strange aroma that covered the entire castle. Everyone who smelled the fragrance felt intoxicated. Everyone knew in their hearts that Zhang Mu had succeeded.
The first person to cross the master level was not the brother and sister Su Yuan and Su Qian, nor the life and career masters of other mercenary groups, but Zhang Mu.
After Zhang Mu made a breakthrough in his cooking skills, he also won the title of [Cooking Master]. This title has limited bonuses in combat, but it has the effect of increasing the favor of the aliens in the alliance. When life and career reach a certain level, a special temperament will emerge. This charm has obvious effects. It can attract allies and aliens to create a sense of closeness.
With a title of master, Zhang Mu traveled across the continent and was welcomed and respected by hundreds of tribes no matter where he went.
"Isn't Ye Qianqiu out yet?"
Lei Ming shook his head: "Not yet, it will probably take a day or two."
"So is there any progress on the tribute ship case?"
Lei Ming replied: "Based on the clues left at the scene, the Investigation Bureau tracked down one or two indigenous people, but strangely, no traces of tributes were found. The tribute treasure chests have spiritual imprints, but they have tried their best to locate the treasure chests."
"The indigenous people will definitely hide the tributes in a safe enough place and will not take them with them easily. If the investigation bureau continues the investigation, at most a few tribes of indigenous people will be eliminated. If they are lucky, they can follow the clues and eradicate several tribes. As for recovering the tributes? I'm afraid It’s difficult!”
Lei Ming saw Zhang Mu's relaxed face and couldn't help but ask: "What do you think? Qiao Weier was very anxious because even the governor of the province issued an order to upgrade the task to a BB level task, and the reward was extremely generous. No matter where As long as the investigation bureau of a city recovers the tribute taken away by the natives, it will be entitled to one-tenth of the recovered portion."
Zhang Mu was surprised: "Has the governor spoken?"
The governor of Xihaixing is a holy spirit. The dragon sees the beginning but never the end. Unless there is a big event, he will not show up easily. The tribute ship case made the governor feel very humiliated. He did not hesitate to part with part of the tribute and recover the lost tribute.
"I see."
If he really couldn't find a hiding place for the tributes, Zhang Mu could reveal the spoils to the city lord. Perhaps he could catch the natives while they were dividing the spoils and catch them all in one fell swoop. There is a disadvantage in doing this. Zhang Mu only provides important information, and most of the credit for attacking the natives and retrieving the tributes will fall on the executors, and the final benefits may be very limited.
"Mumu, congratulations on becoming a cooking master!"
At this time, Leng Yun, Du Rongrong and the other girls came to celebrate.
"Where is the boss's masterpiece? The whole castle is soaked in the aroma of food, why don't you let us have a taste?"
Fatty and Rongrong were both drooling.
"You just know how to eat!"
"Don't even think about these foods."
After Zhang Mu broke through and became a master chef, he indeed produced several truly master-level delicacies. The ingredients alone for this kind of food cost tens of thousands, and the value itself is extremely high. It would be a pity to eat it just to satisfy the craving for food.
Zhang Mugang was about to speak when he suddenly received a brief message.
It's a scorpion!
Zhang Mu was overjoyed. He must have found out something, so he immediately listened to the message.
Xie's message was simply: "The tribute is not in the hands of the natives."
"Any clues?"
"Not sure. I followed the Two-Headed Clan and saw the Snake Demon Clan, but I found no clues about the tribute. The Snake Demon Clan hid the tribute before they met the Chief of the Two-Headed Clan."
"What are the coordinates of their meeting?"
Zhang Mu remembered that the coordinates reported by Xie were a set of ordinary coordinates in the wild. They had no characteristics and no clues could be found at all.
The snake demon clan hid the tribute before meeting the two-headed clan chief, so the tribute must be hidden nearby. This is unreasonable, because the tribute treasure chest has a barrier and a mark. As long as a special sensing instrument is used, the location of the treasure chest can be tracked thousands of miles away. If the treasure chest had been stored somewhere in the wild, the Bureau of Investigation would have found it long ago.
Zhang Mu broke off contact with Xie and immediately said to Lei Ming: "Old Hei, I want a map with Zhonghai City as the center and the surrounding area within 100,000 miles!"
"yes!"
Lei Ming stored the electronic map and used a projection machine to project it on the wall.
Zhang Mu drew a circle at the coordinate point reported by Xie, and then drew a circle at the place where the tribute ship was hijacked. The coordinates of the two locations are about 3,000 miles apart. Within a thousand miles of the two coordinate points, there are vast forests or mountains. The terrain shows that there is no town or even village.
Could it be that the natives have a secret base in the wild and have the ability to block the signal from the mark of the enchantment treasure box
Zhang Mu held the pen and thought for a moment.
Sudden.
He discovered a problem.
In the area between the two coordinate points, there are 5-8 mines, all of which are resource sites in the name of the Green Alliance.
"Old Hei, check these mines for me." Zhang Mu pointed to the mines on the map and said, "What kind of mine is it? What kind of ore does it produce? Is it privately owned or publicly owned?"
Lei Ming was very efficient and immediately found the corresponding information. Among them was a mine, which caught Zhang Mu's attention.
"There is an earth-based crystal mine here, which produces earth-based crystal stones. It is a private mineral vein and belongs to the level 4 mercenary group... The Corner of Darkness!"
Zhang Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sure enough!"
At this time, Qiao Weier burst into the room: "What are you looking at?"
"You came just in time!" Zhang Mu asked: "The director of resources is from the goblin clan, right?"
"The Resources Bureau and the City Defense Bureau in the Ninth Bureau are the same. The directors are both served by big goblins. The director of the Resources Bureau is my father's clan sister."
"Can it be trusted?"
"Are you talking nonsense? In terms of seniority, she is my aunt!"
"Okay, this way you can save some energy."
Qiao Weier was confused: "What on earth are you talking about, why don't I understand at all? Is this about the tribute ship case, and what does it have to do with the Bureau of Resources?"
"Don't ask too many questions yet." Zhang Mu interrupted Qiao Weier, pointed to the crystal mine on the map and said: "When is the most recent resource input to this crystal mine, we must find out!"
"I'll check it out!"
"Don't go to investigate in a big way. Don't alert anyone. I suspect there is a traitor in the Resources Bureau."
"Should I ask my aunt directly to the head office?"
Zhang Mu was a little worried, "I'd better go with you."
The Two Resources Bureau is one of the nine bureaus. It is in charge of the input and output of resources in the city, as well as all kinds of resource allocation work. It is a highly profitable department. The director of the Resource Bureau is a member of the city lord's faction, a great goblin in the realm of heavenly spirits.
Zhang Mu didn't even wear the investigation bureau's cloak for Qiao Weier, so he went directly to the resource headquarters to avoid alerting the enemy.
"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Qiao Qiao!"
The director of resources meets Qiao Weier.
Qiao Weier used the excuse Zhang Mu found, "Auntie, my castle is not very satisfactory, so I need to borrow something from the Resource Bureau. Just ask my mother for how much it will cost!"
The director of resources said with a wry smile: "The little devils are here, how dare I refuse to give?"
Qiao Weier smiled evilly: "Let's take a step to talk."
The three of them walked into a separate room in the headquarters, which was the director's private lounge. Several of the guards were all fairies, and there was no outsider.
Qiao Weier explained her intention.
The director of resources asked in surprise: "You want the city's resource transportation information within 30 days? What do you want this for?"
Qiao Weier raised her head proudly: "Of course I'm investigating the case. Don't you know that I, Qiao Weier, have been working for the Investigation Bureau recently?"
"I've heard about it." The director of resources covered his mouth and smiled, "You were the one who handled the explosion of Black Point Castle!"
Qiao Weier's eyes lit up and she said happily: "Is this case so famous? Even you know about it!"
The director of resources smiled and said: "I can't remember other cases, but this one is crystal clear. Haha, the information you want is here, take your time and read it."
Zhang Mu deliberately requested the city's resource transportation information within 30 days. The main purpose was to confuse the public. There were tens of thousands of resource input and output rules within 30 days. Zhang Mu found the crystal mine under the Dark Corner, and the last record was just 18 hours ago.
"About 18 hours ago, 32 boxes of soil crystals were shipped out from the mine and stored in the No. 2 Resource Warehouse in the west of the city."
"The timing is amazing, that's it!"
Zhang Mu has been guessing where the tributes will be hidden.
Never expected it.
The natives did not hide the tribute anywhere in the wild.
It was actually stored in the resource warehouse of the Green Alliance!
Concealing the truth!
What a cover-up!
