Cheng Shaofeng's Shadow Guard 2 came here this time mainly to find two things.
Crystal and Vibranium.
Crystal is the key to his own upgrade, and vibranium is a necessary material for manufacturing flying towers and aircraft.
He has already issued tasks for players to find these two things, and will give a lot of rewards once they are found. Among them, merit points are the most important, because... The Green Goblin Skateboard is already on sale in the Merit Points Store.
Only players who have reached 200,000 Merits are eligible to purchase it.
If you want to quickly gain merit points, the fastest way is to hand in the crystals and materials required by the lord.
This individual flying device is very powerful, can carry up to 2 people, is small and light, and only needs crystal power to fly continuously without the trouble of charging. A 100-unit crystal is enough for many days.
If any player can get this, their mobility will be greatly improved, and it will only take half a day to travel back and forth between the Red City main base and the battlefield sub-base.
After Cheng Shaofeng made the announcement, the veteran players were immediately excited and are currently collecting crystals and searching for vibranium in their respective areas.
Cheng Shaofeng's Shadow Guard 2 was also not idle. He brought some local specialties from the base to the central city, trying to exchange some vibranium from the three inheritances of arcane, blasting, and mystic.
I looked at the time and it was already 3pm.
"Wu Ke should have gone to Shelter 303 to negotiate, right? I hope everything goes well... and the other party won't be cheated too badly by him."
Wu Ke's confident look made Cheng Shaofeng feel for the first time that he would not be cheated in the transaction.
After several exchanges, Cheng Shaofeng felt that Wu Ke was a level higher than the auntie who bargained in the vegetable market!
His moves have been perfected, no moves are better than moves, I always feel that what he said makes sense, and I will make money by trading with him...
This subconscious feeling is the scariest. I suddenly wake up in the dead of night and wonder if I have been cheated by him.
'The terrible diplomat player...'
As for the things over there, Cheng Shaofeng just needs to wait for the results, and he will mainly look for some opportunities in the central city.
The central city is a big city, comparable to the capital of China on Earth, with a high population density. Because it is safe, more and more people are attracted to the central city. If they can't live inside, they live outside, and the concept of central city suburbs has gradually formed.
As the population increased, development became more rapid. The suburbs were planned and transformed by the Human Alliance into various production and processing areas, and the cities were only used for living and storage.
A large number of industries have a wasteland style.
Among them, the various beast girl training industries make people say that dreams have come true.
According to what Cheng Shaofeng learned after a day of investigation, there are many kinds of mutated creatures in this world, including some beasts with wisdom like the blue bird.
The Cang Niao are powerful and very smart. Their ancestors had relied on the Duoyu Academy in their early years, and their descendants also became friends with the forest rangers and shamans, so they have always maintained their racial independence.
Even if a goshawk is caught outside, due to the ability of it to produce crystal liquid, speak human language and know how to protect itself, most of them can survive well, and very few goshawks are killed outside.
Well... unless you meet some stupid guy.
The current status of the Cang Niao is the result of many coincidences and conditions. Other mutant creatures that have awakened their intelligence... are not so lucky.
I won’t go into detail about the specific types and gameplay. After reading it, Cheng Shaofeng felt that he had to quickly establish a communication base station in the central city to monitor the players’ behavior.
This thing really affects people’s struggle!
What should we do if players are addicted to alcohol and sex every day
Who will go out to look for crystals, skills, and materials
Who will defend the base
Succubus? Cat-eared girl? Or a filly
In addition to the domestication industry, there are also a large number of farms out there.
After Cheng Shaofeng took a look around... he felt that his horizons had been broadened. The technology in this world... was not as simple as he thought.
In the wasteland era, because of the ubiquitous crystal force factor in the air, that is, the free crystal energy that acts on all living things, the probability of genetic mutation in plants is very high!
If there are no corresponding measures to avoid gene mutation, a certain food crop may just be cultivated and the next generation may become a man-eating plant...
Fortunately, they have a complete set of seed genetic science, which can inject energy through micro-energy devices to stabilize the genetic structure, thereby upgrading the seeds into energy seeds, which can greatly reduce the problem of genetic mutations in the reproduction of seed offspring.
After years of cultivation, they gradually grew energy-rich fruits, thus giving birth to wasteland products - energy crops.
After this crop is planted, the energy produced by the fruit can be absorbed through corresponding equipment and then condensed into crystals. This is also the main reason why the central city is not short of crystals.
They can plant!
After understanding the logic behind it, Cheng Shaofeng was shocked!
"Damn, the people in this world have maxed out their farming talents."
The fruits of energy crops are semi-finished products, and their prices are much cheaper than processed crystals. Cheng Shaofeng decided to build some loot generators after the branch base is settled here, extract the crystal energy from the fruits, and then make them into crystals and send them to the main base.
I asked Zero and it is completely feasible.
The loot generator is a sophisticated extraction and synthesis device that is best at this job.
Cheng Shaofeng saw several large farms covering tens of thousands of acres, all growing energy crops of various attributes, two of which belonged to the "Beast Fighting Live Broadcast Group".
"Oh... No wonder Feisha City gave so many crystal stones as rewards, it turns out that they are produced in my own home?"
But Cheng Shaofeng still has a question...
"If you plant crops like this on black soil, the nutrients in the soil will be drained out. If they plant energy crops for so many years, won't they drain the nutrients out?"
But this problem does not seem to exist on every farm. Cheng Shaofeng only saw that a large number of farms were cultivating in full swing and the crops were growing lushly even in winter.
It is now January of the following year after he traveled through time. The coldest period will soon be over. When the temperature rises and the roads become smooth, trade and exchanges will resume prosperity.
At that time, players will meet more 'NPCs' outside.
Single-person flying machines are available in Central City, and many people ride the Green Goblin skateboard.
This was developed by a company that makes vehicle products, called "Water".
They put up a lot of ads, which could be seen on all sorts of big, colorful screens in Central City.
"Wow... As long as you have crystals, you can buy a flying boat? This is... so cool!"
Cheng Shaofeng felt that trade matters needed to be dealt with quickly.
It's still too slow to collect resources manually.
The way to make big money is to leverage the advantages of the base to trade.
Cheng Shaofeng looked at the map and flew towards the central city caravan.
The caravan is a neutral organization. They do not participate in any struggle for human rights and only do business. Every year, they take out a portion of their profits to provide a large amount of supplies for various sections of human defense. They are a responsible force.
According to Cheng Shaofeng's many dealings with the Colossus City caravan, the nine inheritances of the Human Alliance all have very good relations with the caravan.
"Colossus is a small city, and many things are not available. Let me see the caravan headquarters in the central city... what good things are there?"
Cheng Shaofeng’s first stop was the Central City Caravan.
The caravan has several branches in the central city, and Cheng Shaofeng went directly to the largest headquarters.
This is a large comprehensive shopping mall with 32 floors.
The goods inside range from food and drinks to tools and materials to weapons, vehicles and robots.
Cheng Shaofeng felt dizzy after walking from the first floor to the third floor.
"Big! Really fucking big!"
"Too much! There's too much cargo!"
Cheng Shaofeng felt that when he reached the third floor, the goods on the first floor had automatically hidden in his mind, because he couldn't remember so much...
Originally, Cheng Shaofeng was carrying a large package of supplies and thought he might have to discuss business with the head of the caravan, but now... he thought it would be great if a manager on a certain level here could take the time to talk to him.
"How much money is this?"
Cheng Shaofeng couldn't even imagine the wealth of the caravan.
He only knew that behind this 32-story building was a freight warehouse built by the caravan itself, the kind that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"When can I make the trade of the Scourge Base half of that of the caravan... oh no, even one percent, then I won't be short of crystals to spend."
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel thief!
Perhaps it was because Cheng Shaofeng looked too conspicuous carrying a large package, and soon someone on the third floor invited him to the trading office.
A woman with a melon-seed face and gold-rimmed glasses asked with a smile on her face, "Sir, I see you have been walking around our third floor with this package for a while. If I'm not mistaken... you have some goods to ship, right?"
She is fair-skinned and beautiful, about 25 years old, well-mannered and seems very polite.
The hint of whiteness revealed under the deep V-neck makes people feel very sincere.
Cheng Shaofeng couldn't help but glance at the label on her chest.
"Department Store Third Floor Supervisor: Luan Pan"
Cheng Shaofeng put the package down and nodded slightly: "Yes, Manager Luan has a good eye. I do have some goods to ship."
"It's convenient for you to take a look... or you can describe it."
Luan Pan is already familiar with this kind of thing. Although she is not very old, she grew up in the caravan and received orthodox education from the caravan. She has a very thorough understanding of the caravan's business methods.
She can give a roughly accurate value to any kind of goods after just one look.
Cheng Shaofeng first took out a ring from the package.
"This is an enchanted ring that can enhance ice energy damage. It can also increase the wearer's energy recovery ability. As long as he wears this ring, he can get more than 20% damage increase... How is this value?"
"A ring that increases ice damage by more than 20%? And also significantly increases energy regeneration?"
Tong Kong, who was standing next to Luan Pan, shrank slightly, as if he had heard something extraordinary.
Their caravan has a lot of energy equipment, and they have seen a lot of it, but ring-type energy equipment... is rare!
Because a ring is too small!
It is very difficult to complete some energy carving or add some kind of equipment on it.
Most of the equipment that amplifies energy damage are large handheld equipment such as staffs and codes. This is because they are easy to make. There are several equipment stores in the central city that specialize in staffs, codes and energy guns. Depending on the materials used, the damage of the user can be amplified to different levels.
"Sir, what is your last name?"
"Procedure."
"Mr. Cheng, how do you determine the increase you mentioned? Which stage of evolvers does the percentage value come from? Can we conduct a test to verify it?"
Cheng Shaofeng nodded indifferently.
"Why don't you just find an ice-type evolver to try it out."
Luan Pan made a gesture and someone immediately took it for testing.
After the results came out, Luan Pan was shocked!
"A fourth-tier professional will also increase the power of ice skills by 20%? A powerful array with some kind of conversion amplification? The energy recovery speed is significantly improved... Okay, I get it."
Cheng Shaofeng was also surprised that the other party actually had a fourth-level professional here specifically for testing... It was worthy of being the caravan headquarters, and it was extremely rich and inhumane.
"Mr. Cheng... You may have done business with our caravan in other places, but I still want to reiterate that our caravan has always been based on honesty and credit as its business principles, so the price of your ring... is relatively high. Although the effect is much inferior to energy weapons and amplifiers, since this is an energy ring, it is relatively rare, so we can give a good price."
Cheng Shaofeng asked directly: "How many crystals do you want?"
Luan Pan: "10,000 crystals with specified attributes."
Cheng Shaofeng: “20,000!”
Luan Pan smiled and shook his head: "This may be your first time doing business with our caravan headquarters. The people in charge of appraisal here have professional knowledge and rarely make mistakes in judging the value of an item, so... the price given to you is the final price, no bargaining."
Cheng Shaofeng: "Oh? Is there such a saying?"
The waiter next to him said, "Yes, sir. We at the caravan headquarters never quote false prices when purchasing. The manager will give you a reasonable offer based on the rarity and selling value. This has been the case for many years."
Cheng Shaofeng nodded: "Okay, then I'll trust you for once."
In fact, Cheng Shaofeng had already heard that the caravan did not bargain, but he still wanted to try to ask for more.
Luan Pan accepted it with a smile on his face, and then asked: "Mr. Cheng should be selling more than just this one item, right? The others..."
Cheng Shaofeng took out a ring from inside.
"Oh, there are 10 more rings with similar properties to the one just now. Just give me all the crystals."
Luan Pan: “?”
She looked at the rings that looked almost identical and felt that she seemed to have underestimated the person in front of her.
The waiter took it and counted it: "Mr. Cheng, these are not 10 rings, but... 12 rings."
"Oh, then sell 12 more."
Luan Pan: “?”
She couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Cheng seems to have a lot of rings?"
"No, that's all..."
"Really?"
"real."
"I don't believe it."
"Then will you accept it?"
"... ..."
"receive!"
Cheng Shaofeng indeed had more than that, because when he was leaving, he passed by the Bai Ze branch base. In addition to inlays such as the Frozen Heart, the little fish there also dropped some rings that increased ice damage.
Because there were too many, the players threw them to the store, so he grabbed a handful and threw them into his bag to fill the gap...
I didn't expect this thing to be so valuable.
After settling the transaction payment, Cheng Shaofeng waved his hand and left, no longer selling his other things.
Because he suddenly thought of a better way to sell...
