Chapter 190 189. a wave of fat ah a wave of fat!
“I can’t believe it was negotiated so easily, I thought he’d make some more outrageous demands, after all, with the way things are going in Transylvania right now, all we have left is that metaphysical backbone.”
In the shadows of the Blood Wyvern Corridor, Murphy was surprised that the negotiations with the Carpe Family were actually so easy, Major Fraser’s conditions were indeed quite harsh, but if he could exchange these conditions for the basic industrial production lines that his territory desperately needed right now, then Murphy would gladly pay more for it.
There was no one on this land who understood the power of mastered technology better than he did.
Although the technology of this world and his memory of some slight differences, but this is not a problem, at least the gun is still a gun, really can not recruit some very “criminal” small players to engage in hand rubbing it.
He will never underestimate the talent of small players in this area.
“So, Miriam, I’ll leave this in your hands.”
Murphy commanded to the scarlet consul following beside him:
“The nobles of the Anjou region are expected to have less tolerance for vampires than the locals, so I won’t step in lest I scare them. If they want more benefits in the next specific conversation, they can appropriately concede some more, my only request is that those production lines that were taken away must be taken back as fast as possible.
We can’t just rely on the merchants of the Nordtorf Kingdom, it’s putting our lifeblood in the hands of others.”
“Well, I’ll make a concrete plan, Lord Murphy.”
Miriam nodded.
As a student at the University of the Artisans in Chaldeaux, she was no stranger to mechanical things, and had seen the “works of art of steel” for herself during her extracurricular internships at the halfling’s factories.
She thought that she could handle this matter well, and since Lord Murphy had already gotten through to the youngest master of the Capet family, the other party would not be able to eat too badly.
Those nobles, especially the old nobles like the Capay family, are very particular about decency.
“You go and get busy.”
Murphy’s ears twitched as he said:
“My warriors seem to be on an errand that is very important to them, and I have to go forward to observe that victory.”
With that, his blood wings opened up to propel him into the sunlight, and as a Sunwalker, Murphy had heavy shadows converging around him the moment he entered the sunlight to insulate him from it.
This is a psychic skill called “Cloak of Shadows”.
This is a psychic technique called “Cloak of Shadows”, which was taught by Tris on the fly, and is also a standard for high-ranking vampires to protect themselves when they have to move in the annoying sunlight. But the shadows of the psionic convergence didn’t fully protect the vampire’s delicate skin, so after a few seconds of flight Murphy felt a terrible burn.
It was as if a fire was burning up from underneath the skin.
Ah, it burned.
He mentally told himself a dirty joke to amuse himself, and then rather smoothly jumped through the fissure in the cliff face that the city’s Great Rift had torn open into the sewer system of the outer city.
In the process he could clearly see that the lowest point of this dozens of meters deep rift still had spots of ghostly purple light flickering in the sunlight.
That represented that the concentration of astral spiritual energy in the lowest part of the rift valley was much higher than that on the ground.
Originally these things were going to dissipate, but the reopening of the Star Realm Creation made them active again, Murphy didn’t know what was at the bottom of the rift valley that was smashed by the bombardment of more than a dozen sub-dimensional meteorites, and he also didn’t want to know, at this stage let those things continue to stay there.
Wait until the territory has spare power before dealing with them.
Once inside the sewers, reassuring and comforting darkness flooded in from all around, causing the vampire to let out a comforting groan before leaping forward like a ghost and rushing towards the area where the smaller players were congregating in large numbers.
The sense of life was like standard radar, guiding Murphy through the labyrinthine land of the four-way street without missing a beat.
At the same time, about fifteen minutes away from the seventh entrance of the sewers, the army of players gathered by Happy Stick had already gathered here.
Even though he had said that he only wanted Black Iron rank when he posted the recruitment before, but with the other small players coming to join in the fun, it wasn’t easy for Stick to drive them away, and there was also the advantage of having more people.
“Brothers who haven’t reached the Black Iron rank will just roam around the periphery, I reckon we’ll startle the surrounding ghoul swarms when we rush through that door, your task is to fend them off and repel them.”
Happy Stick stood on a wooden crate, waving the Clan Winged Blade in his hand as he shouted to the players below:
“Brothers just think of it as brushing up on your experience, if this search really pays off, then I, Brother Happy, will definitely not treat you all poorly!”
“Brother Stick is mighty! Yeah!”
A burst of laughter came from the crowd.
In fact, they didn’t come here for the reward, but mainly because Brother Stick’s team had been searching for the so-called “gangster’s vault” in the sewers ever since they entered Cadman City, and now that they finally got something, they naturally came to observe the good things and take a little bit of joy.
What’s more, there is no NPC quest guide from the beginning to the end of this line about the gangster’s vault!
This is the players to independently look for clues and put together a “branch line”, small players are also very interested in seeing this approach does not work, after all, the light step-by-step tasks to the stingy NPCs working when can we get rich ah?
Other than that, the Adventurer’s Guild sells those computing beads of plug-ins are good things, but now there are not many players to buy.
Now was renamed “black hearted demon hunter Ji” Natalie’s pricing is too outrageous, 20 gold coins a treasure pearl plug-in simply kill people.
Players have three slots for their treasure beads, and if they want to fill them all up, they have to prepare at least 60 gold coins.
Moreover, according to “Senior” Meow Meow, those plug-ins have their own uses, so it’s best to have a full set if you have the conditions, which means that players will have to reserve 100+ gold coins for this item alone.
Not to mention the fact that since the 2.0 update, it costs money to learn skills from NPCs, and if there’s another enchantment or weapon enhancement in the future, what’s the point of having so little money now?
You strengthen the weapon at the Ellie from the heavenly realm, and take 100 gold coins to go?
Are you kidding me, who are you looking down on?
“Well, it is indeed quite outrageous.”
Murphy, who was hiding in the darkness beside him and peering in, also nodded with deep concern when he heard the complaints of the small players.
According to Miriam, those Treasure Pearl Inserts could be handled for at most 1 gold coin in a random mechanical hardware store in Chardonnay Harbor, and there were connections and discounts for bulk purchases.
The halflings had long since industrialized those inserts and knocked the price down to an extremely low level, not to mention that the inserts in Natalie’s hands were only standard models, and there were no refinements or advancements.
Murphy had instructed Natalie that she could sell them slightly more expensively to raise funds for the construction of the Avalon Sanctuary, but it was indeed a bit unorthodox for her to increase them by 20 times at once.
But the most helpless thing is that she is the only one in the entire Transylvania region that sells these strange things, so .
“It’s still a monopoly that’s good for business.”
Murphy sighed in her heart, and then she took out a bottle of fruit wine with some blood thinner and poured a sip into her mouth, and posed herself to start enjoying the players’ strategy on the “gangster’s vault” in front of her.
Murphy knew that there was a gangster’s stronghold in the sewers a long time ago.
After all, you can’t expect a city ruled by vampires to have good law and order, plus the rationing system practiced in Cadman City for several years has made the underground black market once very prosperous, and the gangs in the outer city have accumulated a lot of money by doing this kind of business.
Murphy had wanted to set up a special quest line to get this unclaimed wealth, but after taking over the Blood Vulture Clan’s 400 years of accumulation he couldn’t look at such a small profit.
Now these are considered to be for the small players to “send some family silver welfare”, and by the way with the great success of the rod to stimulate their already strong desire to explore.
The real world is buried everywhere in a lot of things, only rely on Murphy to find their own to find the monkey years and months to go, only to mobilize the players to become a “treasure hunting rats” is the right route.
At the moment, goods from Nordoff Kingdom would soon enter Transylvania, if we don’t let players have some money in their hands, how can we promote consumption in the territory?
“Blow it up!” The small group of players spread out on the periphery, and Stick gave orders to his team after confirming that everything was in place.
Tiger Leopard Rider – Pro and All went up carrying the explosives bought from the Alchemy Hut and piled them in front of the one sewer secret passage that was sealed off by a metal door.
While the two guys who had been engineers before were busy, the Black Iron Warriors in charge of the attack were making their final preparations.
The “all black ironized” student party, the meow six, the soldier striking fierce man group and the girl group each had their own duties, so it could be seen that Happy Stick had really put a lot of thought into this raid today.
He even paid for the black iron warriors to buy weapons that can effectively kill the evil sword oil and bullets, and the most outrageous thing is that these things are good pigeon as the leader of the alchemy apprentice workers in the past few days hand rubbed out.
“I think we should open our own store.”
“Freshman vampires,” Pigeonball grumbled to the fellows around him as he pressed spherical bullets tainted with the special powder into the chamber of his shotgun:
“I thought Mrs. Tris was a good person, but I didn’t expect her to be a vampire of the earth as well! This Demon Removal Bullet cost no more than thirty copper at most, but she sold it to Stick for one silver coin.
That’s a horrible profit.
From now on, you can’t buy things from the NPC’s store lah, I’ll rub you whatever you want and bring your own materials for just the crafting fee.”
“Ch, people are vampires in the first place, right?”
Next to Che Che said with a disdainful crooked mouth:
“Besides, what are we going to do about upgrading if you run off to do business? It’s so hard to get ahead.”
“You know shit.”
Badger did support Pigeon Treasure’s decision, he said:
“This game set up this kind of upgrade method originally to discourage us from leveling up quickly, besides, didn’t you see the hints when you entered the Black Iron Stage? The officials are telling you not to blindly pursue leveling at this stage.
Didn’t you see that ‘potential release bar’ on the character interface?
Whether you’re fighting or doing something else, you can unlock that potential bar, and you can only unlock the Silver Trial if your potential bar reaches 70%.
It’s a slow process.
Practicing every day is estimated to take two months, so you might as well take this opportunity to get a side hustle going.
Isn’t Pigeon Treasure flushing alchemy up a reflection of personal strength?
Lady Tress is a Spiritual Energy Master, but she’s also a Master Alchemist ah, the NPC posted the career template path for you, and as a result, you’re still stranded here obsessing about leveling up.”
“Boom.”
As soon as Badger’s words fell, the bomb that was stacked in front of the iron gate was detonated.
Closed area to engage in this kind of hard work so that Murphy can not help but raise his eyebrows, these guys are really not afraid of death, this if the sewers blow down all of you buried inside, still have to let Lord Murphy out of the way to fish you out again!
Hey, having an NPC to help wipe your ass is awesome, right? Why don’t you little idiots value your lives a little more?
You’re all my property.
“Punch punch punch! Quick! Shield warriors move forward!”
Stick reached out and slapped at the dispersing smoke, roaring forward.
He had switched to the sword and shield specialization in Grave Sword Guards, as had Bull next to him, but Sanwu Doo of Brother Woo Meow’s team had promoted himself from Witch Hunter Apprentice to full Witch Hunter with the Witch Hunters, and although he also wielded a sword and shield, his defensive path was clearly not the same as that of the Vampire Shield Warriors.
As he called out the name of the god Avalon in a loud voice, a trail of psychic thorns twined out, creating a thicker psychic defense on both Sanwu Dou’s armor and shield.
He himself was even filled with emerald green light, allowing a long-lasting passive self-healing effect to constantly take effect within his body.
If one had to say so, witch hunter shield warriors might be more akin to “Faatan”, with stronger defenses against all sorts of evil attacks and psychic spells.
The last of the four shield warriors, Orchid, has not turned into a vampire or a witch hunter, and she has taken the most orthodox human classic route, so both her numerical values and skills are slightly inferior to those of the other three, but Orchid’s high endurance and dexterity make her one of the most resistant of the four shield warriors.
Knowing this herself, she followed the three sluggers as a support.
They rushed into the blasted open secret passageway, only to be greeted head on by that smell coming out of this enclosed area that almost made them yue out.
It wasn’t hard to understand, imagine that.
A group of gang members barricaded themselves in a treasure trove when disaster struck, but then they turned into ghouls and were barricaded in it again for almost a month. The smell can’t be described in words, it’s a real “bio-attack” like a poisonous gas field, and even the four people who rushed into it started to bleed out.
“Disperse!”
Brother Woo Meow, who was the caster captain at the back, shouted as he raised his cane and threw out Oak Knight’s Natural Purification himself forward, causing the emerald green winds to whip up, while vampire psychics Pigeon Bowl and Che Che mobilized their darkness psychic energy into gusty winds to blow and punch in to dampen the disgusting smell.
Violent fighting then erupted open in the secret passage.
But surprisingly it wasn’t very dangerous, this wasn’t really a replica guarded by a powerful enemy in front of the treasure trove after all, and the group of ghouls guarding the place weren’t any stronger than the evil creatures that had been alerted outside.
For these powerful people of the black iron rank even less worth mentioning.
The only trouble was that the outer city gangsters had laid traps for themselves in the treasure vault.
The cracked ground and the poisoned crossbow arrows shot from both sides almost swallowed the fastest rushing Stick, luckily the vampire’s perception and gliding allowed him to dodge a bullet, and ten minutes later, they reached the deepest part of the secret passage.
In front of their eyes were large black boxes and all kinds of coins littered all over the ground, not all gold coins but already piled up like a mountain.
“Getting rich! Hahahahaha, see I told you there must be something good here!”
Rod’s eyes were shrinking into the shape of money in the darkness.
In addition to the excitement of getting rich, there was also a sense of fulfillment in the fact that this was a quest that he had been solely responsible for from the beginning until now, and it turned out that there was indeed a “Treasure Hunt” mechanic in this game that was independent of the quest system.
And these riches were the best reward for him, the explorer who spent a lot of time and energy in the sewers to explore the treasure!
But there was still a bit of trouble.
As Stick approached the mountain of coins, a low growl sounded from behind the chest, and then a large and two small elite ghoul leaders jumped out from the vibration.
From the clothes left on their bodies one could tell that this should be the boss of the underground gang in the nearby area and his personal guards.
The three elite ghouls were no good, but in the face of nearly 30 black iron warriors sharpening their swords and attacking, they were nothing more than a small dessert before the big banquet.
In less than five minutes this last roadblock was taken care of.
Brother Stick let out a long breath and kicked away the corpse that had its head chopped off at his feet, and stepped forward to grab a handful of coins in his hand, an action that immediately triggered a hint from the achievement system.
