Ling You's eyes were empty, as if his body was filled.
Full of resentment!
"What's wrong with this world? Men in the wasteland... love to practice so much?"
"I admit that I hate those stupid men, but..."
"Ahh! I'm so angry!"
At this moment, Ling You, who originally wanted to go to the Scourge Base to get information, no longer had any interest in looking at the surrounding buildings and players. He just wondered if he had not taken a clean shower today and if there was some unpleasant smell on his body.
On the other side, the washing machine happily came to Cheng Shaofeng with another skill seal.
"My Lord, you are awesome! She really has a hidden skill! It's another expansion skill! I almost let her get away. Now I have uncovered all her secrets. I can see that she looks desperate. I guess she didn't expect our observation to be so detailed!"
Cheng Shaofeng: "Haha~ As the lord of the base, no one understands women better than me!"
The two skill seals are the new skills of the mysterious profession.
And they are all for expanding skills.

The two skills enhance Dregg's Evil Eye and Curse of Weakness respectively. One increases the area damage, and the other enhances the power of the debuff. They are very practical.
The drum washing machine himself is a judge player and does not need these two skills, but he will receive generous rewards for submitting important tasks such as skill seals.
He waited anxiously for the lord's reply.
Cheng Shaofeng: "Soldier, these two skills are very good. They bring a strong boost to the mysterious professional players in our base. I will give you a generous reward, but... I want to remind you of one thing."
"You only got so much out of this woman's skills, but... you forgot one important thing."
Washing Machine: "Huh? Wha...what?"
Cheng Shaofeng showed a wicked smile on his face: "Don't you want to have something else happen with her? I am not an unchanging lord. I will occasionally allow you to do something out of the ordinary..."
The drum washing machine trembled and said, "Really... Really, Lord?"
"Go ahead and don't worry!"
...
On the streets of the Scourge Base.
There are already several shops, and the shop in charge of Wu Jie is the largest and most prosperous one. Players come here in an endless stream to buy and sell things, refresh their equipment, replenish their potions, buy a couple of inlays, and so on.
There are good items in the store too.
For example, acid damage +XX%, which is worthless to martial artists, is the best attribute for mysterious turret players. In terms of equipment, Cheng Shaofeng makes less money in order to encourage players to match equipment reasonably, and only charges a 10% handling fee.
In addition to the shops, there is also a fully automatic inlay removal shop on the street with 3 machines. Players can use them by themselves by spending some iron coins.
Equipment that has been inlaid can be put in to extract the inlays, or the equipment can be repaired to a non-inlaid state.
The former is the shattering of equipment, and the latter is the shattering of inlays.
With this, players can use the inlays with confidence. At least one can be recycled anyway. Generally, inlays are recycled. After all, weapons will definitely get better and better with use. Inlays can also be stockpiled for the next piece.
In addition, there is a 'Forgive Meat Shop' on the street, with the shop slogan: Forgive her if you love her, she just made a mistake that every woman would make, it is not her fault for not chewing the meat, you must eat meat on time today!
The main item sold in the store is crystal meat, which can slowly restore the player's satiety, health, energy, and beneficial buffs. It is now a must-have item for every player when going out.
It can be used as both a blood medicine and a blue medicine, and it tastes a hundred times better than beans!
There are many choices including roasted crystal meat, boiled crystal meat, air-dried crystal meat, and cured crystal meat, as well as different varieties of meat, some that increase strength, some that increase speed, and some that increase experience. Although most of the bonuses are around 5%, it is better than nothing.
The effect of the first shrine is just to enhance a certain attribute by 5%.
To round it off, eating meat = worshipping God.
There is also a shop on the street, which is 'Xiaoxiao's Weapon Shop'. It mainly deals in weapon manufacturing, sales and recycling, and also sells skeleton labor.
The skeletons that Grandpa Tian currently uses every day are now directly taken from Xiaoxiao’s shop, and then he asks the lord for reimbursement.
The unique part-time job of Necromancer players is something other professions cannot envy.
By the way, the Undead will soon have a new summon, the Plague Demon, which looks big and strong. I guess this business will have to expand.
Ling You's mood has gradually calmed down, but she has not forgotten her mission.
After learning two skills from her, the other party has promised to give her some benefits. The problem with the survivors in the wanderer camp should not be a big problem, but her own cultivation problem has not been solved yet.
The acidic energy she practices is the most expensive system in the Colossus City area!
She looks like a peak first-order transcendent, but... she doesn't have much source of income. She also makes a living by hunting, but hunters hunt ordinary beasts, while she, like the players, hunts crystal beasts in the valley.
She would eat the beasts with the same attributes, and collect those with different attributes and sell them to the caravans.
They have a unique way of preserving their prey, which allows them to keep it relatively intact during the period before the caravans arrive.
The caravan would also buy this meat at a high price, but... it would often take a month to sell it for a small crystal, so the progress of cultivation was slow.
Winter is here, animals are hibernating, and the frequency of caravan visits has dropped significantly. Not to mention that she has made any progress in her cultivation, it would be a warm winter if her strength did not decline!
There was no good solution in previous years, but this year... She decided to try her luck with her new neighbor. What if she could get something
At this time, Ling You stopped at the door of the weapon shop, looking at the two skeleton mages in robes soliciting customers at the door, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"What a waste."
"Isn't this the Skeleton Summoning Mage that Big Brother mentioned? This powerful summoned creature is limited by the strength of its bone owner, but its lethality is no less than that of a first-level transcendent. Just... serve as a welcoming guest?"
"Outrageous! As a supporter of the Skeleton Faction, Big Brother will definitely strongly condemn this kind of thing!"
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The pounding sounds inside the shop attracted Ling You's attention. She walked in and saw a tall, black skeleton with black smoke coming out of its body smashing iron ore with a hammer.
"this!
!”
"Isn't this... the Skeleton Warrior that Big Brother mentioned? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Each Skeleton Warrior is unique, even more powerful than the summoner. They are the partners that every necromancer dreams of having. How could they be used as laborers?"
"There must be too much coal dust, which dyed the skeleton black... It must be like this!"
Bang!
The Skeleton Warrior nonchalantly threw a red ball of light, blasting apart a chunk of iron ore in front of him, then moved to his bamboo basket and continued to smash in new ore.
Ling You: “…”
"Death missiles... blasting rocks?"
“Hehe~Hehe~”
"Sure enough, I should have known that there are no normal people in this base... I don't like the person in charge of Ice and Fire, the weapons shop that uses skeleton warriors as coolies, what else is outrageous, come on, now you say that there are remnants of the Inquisitor hiding here, I will believe it!"
'Milky White Snow' sat behind the counter.
"Huh? New NPC?"
"This modeling is good. It should be big or small. The planner understands LSP."
"If this game had no restrictions, it would be hard to imagine what shameless things male players could do."
Listening to Xue Zi talking to herself, Ling You came back to his senses and asked cautiously, tentatively, and carefully:
"The weapons sold here... must be very expensive, right?"
When Yukiko saw the 'NPC' speaking on her own initiative, she suddenly realized something and immediately ran to the backyard.
"Fuck! Xiaoxiao, Guoba, Cao Cao, there is a sudden mission! Come quickly!"
Before Ling You understood why the person had left, a group of players immediately ran out from the backyard and surrounded her.
There was excitement on their faces.
Ling You: “?”
She had seen many men's excited looks, but... these two beautiful women also had this kind of look, what did it mean
Could it be that this base... is still that good
hiss~
That's... great!
As a typical wasteland woman, she is willing to use all the resources she can, including herself.
This is very similar to the idea of a certain female artist who often attended various high-end parties in the early days. Just be careful, don't get too drunk and be recorded, and remember at the critical moment... find a husband.
Just as she was about to come to her senses, Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Excuse me, do you have any tasks for us?"
Ling You pointed at himself: "Me? Mission?"
Is it the kind where the master orders you to do a task
She was still thinking, but Yukiko had already started giving her hints.
"So... help you repair weapons, find materials, make magic weapons, etc?"
Cao Cao held the pen and looked at Ling You with a confused look on his face: "Or... do you want to rent some skeletons? The quality of the mobile skeletons here is very good! Leased skeletons come with a cart, which can help you push the spoils in and transport your corpses back. The trained full-level skeletons can even help you fight, and they are absolutely obedient!"
Ling You: "... ... I know every word you said, how come when you put them together, the meaning is so abstract?"
What does it mean to use skeletons to transport corpses
Such a curse!
Turkey Flavor Pot pulled Cao Cao's clothes and said, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense. She is an NPC. If she dies, she dies. She can't be resurrected."
"Oh... That's right."
After several people's enthusiastic questioning, Ling You couldn't stand it anymore.
She felt like she was being watched like a monkey.
Escape in panic.
A few players were left sighing secretly.
"Alas... I guess the conditions for triggering the mission are not sufficient."
When she came out, she saw people all over the street looking for her "washing machine".
"Hey! I've been looking for you for a long time! This time I don't want to learn any skills from you, I want... something else."
Ling You asked cautiously: "What else? I don't have any weapons to sell, and I don't want to make any weapons..."
Washing Machine: "Ah, this is a bit difficult to talk about. It's embarrassing to talk about it. Why don't we go back to my place and talk about it? I have already informed the Lord. As long as you meet our special request, he will let the wanderers live here and enjoy our protection like these ordinary people."
"By the way, I will also give you a piece of acid crystal that you need most..."
Ling You's eyes widened: "You two? Together?"
The drum washing machine wondered, "What's wrong? Although this matter was proposed by the Lord, I think it's great, is it not okay?"
Ling You hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Okay... two is fine, but you have to give me the crystal first, and then we can start."
A big "H" already appeared in her mind.
But fortunately... the other party finally got it.
At this point, she also understood why she was only learning her skills the first two times, it turned out to be for the final big job.
Although she has never done this, but... she has to try it anyway.
She had come to terms with it a long time ago.
The drum washing machine was overjoyed: "Okay! I'll go get the props from the lord now."
Ling You: "There are still props? Your lord... really knows how to play."
...
Homeless camp.
Lan Fu and Ma Lishan watched Ling You, who looked as pale as death, come back with a man.
Shocked!
Ma Lishan: "Second in command! How many times have you been asked for? How did you become like this? When I think of you... I feel so uncomfortable! Wuuwuwu..."
Drum washing machine:
Ling You:
Lan Fu was more calm: "Second sister, he is from... the Scourge Base? Why did he follow you back?"
Ling You opened his mouth to say something, but felt powerless.
After a while, he roared: "I really admire these guys in their base!"
