Chapter 349: The Secret of the Dragon, the Greedy Money Bag
After all, dragons are truly epic creatures.
There are legends of giant dragons in countless worlds, and they are one of the true apex creatures.
However, powerful creatures often have many constraints, such as reproduction and growth.
Although the dragon is powerful and lustful, before entering the old dragon state, the male dragon has a strong sexual desire, and the fertility of the male dragon can even be maintained until the stage of the ancient dragon.
Moreover, male dragons in their prime can also transform into human form.
This has led to the endless emergence of all kinds of fancy dragon species, sub-dragon species, sub-sub-dragon species, and various dragon-born creatures, but the truly rare pure-blood dragons are still relatively rare.
After all, female dragons are much more restrained than male dragons, and pure-blooded dragons have innate breeding constraints.
This keeps the number of pure-blood dragons at a rare level.
The world is always fair, and powerful creatures often do not have strong reproductive capabilities.
One of the greatest advantages of human beings is their ability to reproduce and learn.
This is a kind of balance between heaven and earth.
Before a female dragon enters old age, that is, between the ages of 801 and 1000, she usually lays 1 to 2 eggs voluntarily.
After the dragon eggs are laid, there is still a long incubation cycle and a long growth cycle.
It often takes decades for a young dragon to grow up.
Until the age of 101 to 200, you will officially enter adulthood and possess overlord-level strength.
Continue to grow until the age of 201 to 400 and enter the prime of life. At this time, the dragon's strength will enter its peak state and have the strength to start at an epic level.
Of course, the epic level is just a threshold of strength, and there are certain subdivisions after reaching it. Even beyond the epic level, there are still some unknown levels of strength.
As the dragon continues to grow in age, it will be considered an old dragon when it reaches 401 to 600 years old, and their bodies will not stop growing until this time.
Their wisdom and magical power will be improved during this stage, but their bodies will also gradually age. Their scales will lose their luster, become dull, crack, or even fall off.
The iris will also begin to fade, making the eye look like a crystal ball.
During this period, the dragon will gradually become calmer and begin to hone its patience.
The wheels of time continue to move forward. When the dragon reaches the age of 601 to 800, it enters the state of an extremely old dragon. This age range is also the last age for female dragons to give birth.
800 years is still not the limit of the dragon's lifespan. When the age of the dragon reaches 801 to 1000 years old, it can be called an ancient dragon. An ancient dragon that has lived for nearly ten centuries has profound knowledge.
A giant dragon that lives between 1,001 and 1,200 years old is called an ancient dragon. This lifespan is a milestone even among giant dragons, and can be respected by other giant dragons.
As for giant dragons that are over 1,201 years old, they are extremely rare. Dragons at this stage will be called ancient dragons, and each one is qualified to be recorded in the classics.
The dragon at this stage has developed its spiritual power to its peak state and has become a powerful ancient dragon with dragon language.
No one has explored the lifespan limit of giant dragons, and most of them generally decline after 800 years old.
After entering the decline period, their lives will gradually die, but the decline period varies from dragon to dragon.
After the dragon enters the period of decline, it has three options.
The first is to die directly, and the second is to become a dragon spirit guardian in the soul state.
The third option is to become a dracolich.
The latter two options are to give up the physical body and continue to exist in a state of soul.
Everyone knows that dragons are physically powerful, but in fact their real power that gradually reaches its peak with age is their mental and magical power.
This is just like a dwarf uncle who is over 40 years old and is still considered a minor in the dwarf clan.
The lifespan of some races is generally longer than that of humans, let alone giant dragons. Races of this epic monster level naturally have a long lifespan.
There were some dragon slayers in history, but most of them killed adult dragons or dragons in their prime, and some even killed only baby dragons.
If Zong Shen can really conquer a pure-blood dragon, it will be equivalent to getting a free super bodyguard, and with a set of saddles, he will be a proper dragon knight.
Compared to dragon slayers, dragon tamers are truly rare. Once successful, the gold content will be different.
Zong Shen naturally does not know the above secrets about the giant dragon, and he has no need to know at this stage, but now he has added the giant dragon to the lineup of the luxurious... thug group.
When the right opportunity comes, you must plan carefully and get a giant dragon to ride on. This will be in line with the reputation of someone from his sect.
Putting away the dragon training reins, Zong Shen flicked his wrist and took out a very strange prop.
Judging from the appearance, it seems to be a coarse cloth sack. It looks very shabby and looks like a big bag used to carry grain.
There is an orange mark on the front of this sack, which depicts a fat hand with long nails holding a handful of gold coins. The gold coins flowed from the cracks in the hand and gathered into a pile. The gold coins in the hand seemed endless.
Endlessly the same.
This pattern looks a little strange, but it fits the name of this sack very well.
Although this thing doesn't look good, it is a serious legendary item.
[The Lord of Greed’s Money Bag (Orange)]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Effect: Exchange of equal value (you can put any items belonging to you into your wallet to exchange for equivalent mainland dinars)
Wealth surprise (every 168 hours, you can get a wealth surprise, randomly receive mainland general dinars ranging from 1000 to 9999)
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Passive effect: Interest (every other month, you will receive 0.8% of the mainland general dinar balance as interest)]
(The money bag of the Lord of Greed can help your wealth grow rapidly. If you don’t manage your finances, your finances will ignore you. The huge wealth will enable your territory to develop faster)
After Zong Shen read the detailed attributes and remarks, he immediately became very interested in this coarse cloth sack. This prop is simply an alternative financial management tool.
There are two active effects, one can convert any item into mainland general dinars, and the other is to obtain a random amount of mainland general dinars within the range every week.
As for the passive one, interest is directly given and paid out on a monthly basis. Each time, you can get 0.8% of the balance of mainland general dinars as interest. If Zong Shen has one million dinars in his hand, then every month it will be interest.
That’s 8,000, and the interest can be incorporated into the principal and used as interest in the next settlement cycle.
Profits are compounded, profits are compounded, a chicken lays an egg, and the egg becomes a chicken.
In the long run, [The Lord of Greed's Money Bag (orange)] will indeed be of great help to future wealth growth.
When Zong Shen looked at the coarse sack again, his eyes became much more eager.
"Let me try the wealth surprise skill first."
"You can't miss this skill that gives you free money."
He was going to try out the active skill called Fortune Surprise first.
Zong Shen grabbed the sack and activated this skill.
All I could see was that the interior of the ordinary pocket was shining with light.
Immediately, there began to be a "crackling" sound of coins falling.
Zong Shen reached into his pocket and took out dinars, which are common in mainland China.
These common continental dinars also come in different designs and denominations as well as sizes.
It is bronze in color and round in shape.
The smallest denomination is 1 dinar, and the design is a large monotonous circle.
The denominations above are 5 dinars, 10 dinars, 20 dinars, 50 dinars, and 100 dinars.
For every higher denomination, the coin will be larger.
But it makes no difference to the lord, this thing can be collected directly by the lord.
Zong Shen poured out a pile of dinars on the table, then reached out and touched it, and all of it turned into his remaining balance.
[Wealth surprise used successfully]
[Obtain mainland general dinar: 5787]
I was pretty lucky and drew an amount that was in the middle range.
Now his mainland general dinar balance has become 122,414.
I just spent some money on purchasing supplies, plus I gave Aze 10,000, but the rest was really of no use.
He only purchased supplies three times, once by himself, once by Tiezhu, and once by Mariel.
There are now more than a thousand leather jackets in the territory, not counting those newly made by Alana.
After all the sheepskins are made, there will be at least two thousand fur coats in reserve.
When he leaves for Bosibon, Zong Shen still needs to buy some more, and at the same time, he has to let Mariel go shopping in the [market] again.
After he swept away all the coats for sale in the [market] before, the price of coats has now directly increased by 50%. This is the so-called capital influence on the market economy.
Zong Shen is fully capable of continuing to purchase goods, and then wait until large-scale demand appears, and then set prices independently according to market conditions to make profits.
This balance is now enough to be used for material purchases in the territory and as starting capital for the caravan.
After testing the wealth surprise skill, Zong Shen was very satisfied. As for the equivalent exchange, Zong Shen didn't have any suitable items on hand, so he didn't try it for the time being.
There are also restrictions on equivalent exchange, that is, the items must belong to you before you can exchange them at equal value and convert them into mainland dinars.
You can't take other people's things and sell them quickly, but this exchange of equal value can only be exchanged for the cost price of the item, which is good for quick cash.
But if you really want to use items to make enough profits, you have to rely on trade behaviors with information gaps and value differences.
After a general understanding, Zong Shen put away the [Lord of Greed’s Money Bag (orange)].
From now on, the wealth appreciation in the territory will be guaranteed.
At this point, all the prop rewards for killing the boss in the area challenge have been viewed.
There are still two high-level treasure chests left that can be opened.
Based on previous experience, you should be able to draw a certain amount of resources from it.
Zong Shen flipped his hand, and six treasure boxes suddenly appeared on the long table in front of him. These six treasure boxes were divided into two styles, with exactly three of each type.
The size is not big, it looks a bit like an ordinary shoe box.
This size doesn't allow much resources, so it's probably just for show.
[Advanced Resource Chest (Purple)]
[Rare resource treasure chest: After opening, you can randomly obtain 150~350 high-level resources]
[Advanced Material Treasure Box (Purple)]
[Rare material treasure chest: After opening, you can randomly obtain 15~35 copies of high-level materials]
There are three of each type of treasure chest. This thing is similar to the wood gift package that Zong Shen drew in the points lottery before. Both can draw related resources within the quantity range.
The difference is that these two are obviously high-end goods and are certainly not comparable to basic resources like wood.
Zong Shen rubbed his hands, placed three [Advanced Resource Treasure Boxes (Purple)] in front of him, and opened them three times in a row.
The three treasure chests were opened at the same time, with a purple halo shining.
[Open the advanced resource treasure chest]
[Obtain rare resources: Adamantine x237]
[Open the advanced resource treasure chest]
[Obtain rare resources: Advanced element crystal x172]
Once the three high-level resource treasure chests are opened, three high-level resources are obtained.
For example, two resources, fine gold and fine forged alloy, are usually rare.
Although element crystals are relatively common, one high-level element crystal is equivalent to 100 low-level element crystals. The value of these high-level resources is still very high.
These high-level resources can enrich the territory's resource reserves to a certain extent, which is a good harvest.
Zong Shen put them away and later put them into a storage box in the territory for sorting.
Next were the three [Advanced Material Treasure Chests (Purple)], and Zong Shen also chose to open them at the same time.
[Open the treasure chest of advanced materials]
[Obtain rare material: Super Mana Crystal x18]
[Open the treasure chest of advanced materials]
[Obtain rare material: Advanced Fire Rune x21]
[Open the treasure chest of advanced materials]
[Obtain rare material: Blood of the Holy Spirit x32]
Rays of light flashed through, and three rare materials suddenly appeared in Zong Shen's storage compartment.
Only one of the super magic crystals, Zong Shen, has lost more than half of its power. It belongs to the highest level of magic crystals and has 100,000 points of magic power.
Able to meet the ultra-high consumption of mana energy, this batch of super mana crystals can just replenish the territory's mana crystal reserves.
As for the rest, they are all high-end magic materials.
For example, the blood of the Holy Spirit, each serving is 10 ml, is an excellent material for constructing some holy light-type magic circles, which can exert the power of holy light.
And the high-level fire runes are high-level rune materials. One high-level rune is equal to one hundred primary runes.
Zong Shen checked and sorted it out for a while, then put all these materials away.
He walked out of the lord's small building and stored it in the territory storage box.
