Chapter 190 189. A wave of fatness, a wave of fatness!
"It was actually settled so easily. I thought he would make some more extreme demands. After all, with the current situation in Transia, we only have the backbone of metaphysics."
In the shadow of the Blood Vulture Corridor, Murphy was surprised that the negotiation with the Cape family was so simple. Major Fraser's conditions were indeed quite harsh, but if these conditions could be exchanged for the basic industrial production lines that his territory now urgently needs, then
Murphy was willing to pay more for it.
No one on this earth understands the power that comes from mastered technology better than him.
Although the technology in this world is slightly different from what he remembered, it is not a problem. At least guns are still guns. It is really not possible to recruit some "punishment" young players to come in and rub hands.
He will never underestimate the talent of young players in making trouble.
"Then, Miriam, you will be responsible for this matter."
Murphy ordered the Scarlet Archon who was following him:
"The nobles in the Anjou area are probably not as tolerant of vampires as the locals, so I won't come forward to avoid scaring them. If they want more benefits in the next specific conversation, they can give in more appropriately. My only
The requirement is that those production lines that have been taken away must be brought back as quickly as possible.
We cannot rely solely on the merchants of the Nordtov Kingdom, as this is putting our lives in the hands of others."
"Well, I will make a specific plan, Mr. Murphy."
Miriam nodded.
As a student at Chardoux Artisan University, she is no stranger to machinery. During her extracurricular internship, she also went to a halfling factory to see those "steel works of art" with her own eyes.
She thought she could handle this matter well, and since Mr. Murphy had already gained access to the eldest young master of the Cape family, it would be impossible for the other party to look too ugly.
Those nobles, especially the old nobles like the Capet family, are very particular about dignity.
"Go and do your work."
Murphy's ears moved and he said:
"My warriors seem to be on an errand that is very important to them, and I have to go and watch that victory."
After speaking, his blood wings spread out and pushed him to slide into the sunlight. As a "day walker", the moment Murphy entered the sunlight, thick shadows gathered around him to isolate him from the sunlight.
This is a psionic trick called "Cloak of Shadows".
Originating from Tris's casual teaching, it is also a standard equipment for high-level vampires, used to protect them when they have to move under the annoying sunlight. However, the shadow of psychic energy cannot completely protect the delicate skin of vampires, so when flying
Within seconds Murphy felt a terrible burning sensation.
It was like a fire was burning beneath the skin.
Ah, it feels so hot.
He told himself a dirty joke in his mind to make himself happy, and then smoothly jumped into the sewer system of the outer city through the crack in the cliff ripped open by the city's Great Rift Valley.
During this process, he could clearly see that the lowest point of this rift valley, which was tens of meters deep, still had faint purple spots of light shining in the sun.
That means that the concentration of astral spiritual energy at the bottom of the rift valley is far higher than that on the ground.
Originally, these things were about to dissipate, but the reopening of the Astral Creation made them active again. Murphy didn't know what was at the bottom of the rift that was bombarded by more than a dozen dimensional meteorites, and he didn't want to know, either.
Let those things stay there at this stage.
Wait until the territory has enough energy to deal with them.
As soon as they entered the sewer, a reassuring and comfortable darkness surged from all sides, causing the vampire to groan in comfort, and then jumped forward like a ghost, rushing towards the area where a large number of young players gathered.
The perception of life is like a standard radar, guiding Murphy not to lose his way in this maze that extends in all directions.
At the same time, about fifteen minutes away from the entrance to Sewer No. 7, an army of players summoned by Happy Sticks had already gathered here.
Although I said in my previous recruitment post that I only wanted black iron players, when other small players came to join in the fun and participate in the grand event, it was hard for Brother Bang to drive them away, and there are advantages to having too many people.
"Brothers who have not yet reached the Black Iron Level are hunting outside. I estimate that if we break open the door, we will alert the surrounding ghouls. Your task is to resist them and repel them."
Happy Stick stood on a wooden crate, waving the family wing blade in his hand, and shouted to the players below:
"Brothers, just think of it as gaining experience. If this search really yields results, then my happy brother will never treat you badly!"
"Brother Bang is mighty! Great!"
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
In fact, they are not here to share the profit rewards. The main reason is that Brother Bang's team has been searching the sewers for this so-called "gangster's treasury" since they entered Cadman City. Now that they have finally harvested something, everyone naturally wants to come and watch the good things and feel happy.
What's more important is that there is no NPC task guide from beginning to end in the gangster's treasury line!
This is a "branch" that players independently search for clues and piece together. Young players also want to see if this method works. After all, when can you get rich just by completing tasks step by step and working for stingy NPCs?
Among other things, the plug-ins for calculating orbs sold by the Adventurer's Guild are good things, but not many players can afford them now.
The price of Natalie, who is now renamed "Black-hearted Demon Hunter", is too outrageous. 20 gold coins for an orb plug-in is simply life-threatening.
Players' orbs have three slots, and if they want to fill them all, they must prepare at least 60 gold coins.
And according to the "senior" Miao Miao, those plug-ins have their own uses, and if possible, it is best to have a complete set. In other words, for this item alone, players must reserve 100+ gold coins.
Not to mention that since the 2.0 version update, it costs money to learn skills from NPCs. If there are additional functions such as enchanting and weapon enhancement in the future, what will such a small amount of money be used for now?
If you strengthen your weapons with Ellie from Heaven, just take 100 gold coins?
Are you kidding? Who are you looking down on?
"Well, it's indeed quite outrageous."
Murphy, who was hiding in the darkness and peeping nearby, heard the complaints of the young players and nodded in agreement.
According to Miriam, those orb plug-ins can be purchased at any mechanical hardware store in Port Chardeau for at most 1 gold coin. If you have connections, you can get discounts for bulk purchases.
The halflings have long since realized the industrialization of those plug-ins and have driven down the price to extremely low prices. What's more, the plug-ins in Natalie's hands are only standard models, not sophisticated or advanced.
Murphy had told Natalie to sell it a little more expensively to raise funds for the construction of the Avalon Temple, but her sudden increase of 20 times was indeed a bit unreasonable.
But the most helpless thing is that hers is the only one in the entire Transia region that sells these weird things, so...
"It's easier to do monopoly business."
Murphy sighed in his heart, then took out a bottle of fruit wine with some blood dilution added and poured it into his mouth. He took a stance and began to appreciate the players' strategies for the "gangster's vault" in front of them.
Murphy had known for a long time that there was a gang hideout in the sewers.
After all, you can't expect good security in a city ruled by vampires. Moreover, the rationing system implemented in Cadman City for several years made the underground black market very popular for a time. The gangsters in the outer city accumulated a lot of money doing this kind of business.
Murphy originally wanted to set up a dedicated quest line to obtain these unclaimed wealth, but after taking over the 400 years of accumulation of the Blood Vulture Clan, he no longer looked down on such a small profit.
For now, these are just "some financial benefits" for the young players, and at the same time, use Bangge's great success to stimulate their already strong desire to explore.
There are many things buried everywhere in the real world. Only Murphy can find them in a long time. The only way is to mobilize players to become "treasure hunters".
At present, goods from the Kingdom of Nordtof will soon enter Transia. If players are not allowed to have some money, how can this promote consumption in the territory?
"Blow it up!"
The young players spread out around the perimeter. After Brother Bang confirmed that everything was ready, he gave instructions to his team.
Tiger and Leopard Rider Linhe both came forward carrying the explosives bought by the Alchemy Shack and piled them in front of a secret sewer passage sealed by a metal door.
While the two guys who had been engineers before were busy, the black iron warriors responsible for the attack were also making final preparations.
The student party, the Meow Meow Six, the Fighting Man Group and the Girl Group, which have all become "black iron", each have their own responsibilities. It can be seen that Happy Stick has put a lot of thought into today's strategy.
He even spent his own money to buy weapons, sword oil and bullets for the Black Iron Warriors that can effectively kill evil objects. And the most outrageous thing is that these things are the alchemy apprentices headed by Good Pigeon.
Rubbed out by hand.
"I think we can open our own store."
"New Vampire" Pigeon Bao pressed the spherical bullets contaminated with special powder into the bore of the shotgun while complaining to the guys around him:
"I thought Mrs. Tracey was a good person, but I didn't expect that she was also an out-and-out vampire! The cost of this demon-killing bullet was no more than thirty coppers at most, but she sold it to Brother Bang for one silver coin.
The profits are terrifying.
You can no longer buy things from NPC shops. I will make whatever you want for you. You only need to pay the crafting fee if you bring your own materials."
"Hey, I'm a vampire, right?"
Cheche next to him said with a disdainful smile:
"What if you go off to do business and we upgrade? We finally got ahead."
"You know nothing."
Ah Yun was very supportive of Ge Bao’s decision. He said:
"The upgrade method set up in this game does not encourage us to quickly upgrade the level. Besides, didn't you see the prompt when you entered the Black Iron level? Officials tell you not to blindly pursue levels at this stage.
Didn’t you see the ‘potential release bar’ on the character interface?
Whether you are fighting or doing other things, you can unlock the potential bar. Only when your potential bar reaches 70% can you unlock the Silver Trial.
This process is slow.
It would probably take me two months to practice every day, so I might as well seize this opportunity to start a side job.
Isn't it a reflection of personal strength that Ge Bao rushes forward with alchemy?
Mrs. Tracey is a psychic master, but she is also an alchemist master. The NPC has posted all the career templates for you, but you are still struggling with levels."
"boom"
As soon as Ah Yu finished speaking, the bombs piled in front of the iron gate were detonated.
Doing such a cruel job in a closed area made Murphy couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. These guys are really not afraid of death. If the sewer collapses and you are all buried in it, Sir Murphy will have to come out to fish you out.
come out!
Hey, it’s nice to have NPCs to help wipe your butt, right? You little idiots, please cherish your little lives, okay?
You are all my precious possessions.
"Charge, charge, charge! Quick! Shield Fight, come forward!"
Brother Bang stretched out his hand to slap away the diffuse smoke, roared and rushed forward.
He had already switched to the sword and shield specialization in the Tomb Sword Guard, and so had Niu Niu next to him. However, San Wu Dou of Brother Ming Miao's team was promoted from a witch hunter apprentice to a formal witch hunter by the witch hunter. Although
He also holds a sword and shield, but his defense methods are obviously different from those of vampire shield fighters.
As the name of Avalon was shouted loudly, spiritual thorns twined out, forming a thicker spiritual defense on the armor and shields of three to five buckets.
He himself is filled with emerald light, allowing a long-lasting passive self-healing effect to continuously take effect in his body.
If anything, Witch Hunter Shield Fighting may be more similar to "Fatan", as they have stronger defense against various magical attacks and psychic spells.
Lanhua, the last player in the "Four Shields", has neither become a vampire nor a witch hunter. She follows the most orthodox human classic route, so her stats and skills are slightly inferior to the other three, but
Orchid's high endurance and dexterity make her the most resistant among the four major shield battles.
She knew this herself, so she followed the three tough men as an assistant.
They rushed into the secret passage that had been blasted open, and were almost overcome by the smell coming from the closed area.
This is not difficult to understand, if you imagine it.
A group of gang members sealed themselves in the treasure house when the disaster struck, but then they turned into ghouls and were sealed in it for almost a month. The smell could not be described in words, it was a real "biochemical attack".
It was like a poisonous gas field, and even the four people who rushed into it began to lose blood.
"disperse!"
Brother Meow Meow, who was the captain of the caster at the back, raised his cane and shouted, throwing the Oak Knight's natural purification forward, letting the emerald wind howl and blow, while the vampire psionic masters Gebao and Cheche mobilized the dark psionic energy.
The strong wind blew in and weakened the disgusting smell.
A fierce battle then broke out in the secret passage.
But unexpectedly, it is not very dangerous. This is not a real copy after all. It is guarded by powerful enemies in front of the treasure house. The strength of the group of ghouls guarding here is no stronger than those evil things that were alarmed outside.
These powerful people of the black iron level are even less worth mentioning.
The only trouble is that the gangsters from the outer city have set a trap for their treasure house.
The cracked ground and the poisoned crossbow arrows shot from both sides almost swallowed up Brother Bang, who was the fastest. Fortunately, the vampire's perception and gliding allowed him to escape. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the secret passage.
deepest.
What came into view was a large black box and various coins scattered on the floor. Although not all gold coins, they were piled up like a mountain.
"Get rich! Hahahaha, look at it, I'm sure there must be something good here!"
Brother Bang's eyes shrank into the shape of money in the darkness.
In addition to the excitement brought by making a fortune, there is also a sense of accomplishment in that this is an exploration that he has promoted alone from the beginning to the present. Facts have proved that this game does have a "treasure hunting" mechanism that is independent of the mission system.
And the wealth in front of him is the best reward for him, an explorer who has spent a lot of time and energy searching for treasures in the sewers!
But there is still a bit of trouble.
When Brother Bang approached the mountain of coins, a low roar sounded from behind the box, and then the elite ghoul leaders, one large and two small, jumped out amid the vibration.
You can tell from the remaining clothes on their bodies that they should be the boss of the underground gang in the nearby area and his personal bodyguards.
Three elite ghouls are difficult to deal with, but facing the siege of nearly 30 black iron warriors sharpening their swords, they are just a small dessert before the big banquet.
In less than five minutes, the last obstacle was overcome.
Brother Bang took a deep breath and kicked the decapitated corpse at his feet. He stepped forward and grabbed a handful of coins in his hand. This action immediately triggered the achievement system prompt.
