Chapter 283 Siren’s Song Trident, start farming! (6000)
At this time, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue were also paying attention to this series of system announcements, with thoughtful looks in their eyes.
Liu Muxue frowned and asked softly: "Axing, it seems that those cultists have succeeded?"
Cao Xing nodded. Liu Muxue also knew about Duolun Lake City.
"Yes, Duolun Lake City was captured."
"So it seems that Lieutenant Declan didn't pass on the news, or did he pass it on, but the Church of Light was too powerful and still captured Duolun Lake City?"
"But why do they want to occupy Duolun Lake City? With the power of this force, they shouldn't have the ability to confront the kingdom head-on, right?"
Cao Xing vaguely felt that there might be something hidden behind this.
However, there are currently no clues.
Liu Muxue next to her also frowned and thought.
After a while, Cao Xing patted her shoulder and said, "Don't think so much, Muxue, this may still be a good thing for us."
There was doubt in the beauty's eyes.
"Because in this way, most of the power of the Church of Light may be concentrated in Duolun Lake City, and they will fight against the Knights of the Ice Crystal Kingdom."
"There is no energy left to investigate what happened in the Witch Forest."
"This way, we'll be safe!"
Hearing this, Liu Muxue also remembered this, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
In addition, there is another thing that is also good news for Cao Xing.
[Reward Notice] said that these masks can actually be used to redeem rewards at the battlefield of Duolun Lake City or the main city of Yongshuang.
You know, in the past month, Cao Xing has killed many members of the Church of Light.
There are almost a thousand masks of ordinary members in his hands.
Among them are eleven black-robed priest masks, two white-robed priest masks, and a red-robed bishop mask.
The total is close to 2000 honor points.
Cao Xing said happily: "I don't know what kind of rewards these honor points can be exchanged for, but it will definitely not be bad!"
"After all, I should be the one who has killed the most hunters in the entire District 17."
"It seems that Qinon Dutra is also in the main city of Yongshuang. Let's see if he has time. Take the time to go over and take a look and get rid of these masks."
Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt better.
Soon, the two of them finished washing and opened the door of the Lord's Mansion.
"call--"
A cold wind is coming.
In the open space in the center of the territory.
More than 600 people in the entire territory were waiting silently.
After nearly twenty days of raging ice nest monsters, they finally stopped coming.
They knew that the Lord would give new instructions today.
Therefore, the citizens were waiting here early.
After seeing the two people come out, everyone had looks of respect on their faces.
"Dear Lord, I wish you well."
"Beautiful lord and lady, may your appearance become better and better day by day."
Liu Muxue nodded slightly, with a tranquil and majestic aura exuding between her brows.
For so many days, following Cao Xing to manage this territory and so many people, she gradually developed the temperament of a superior person similar to Victoria.
Cao Xing called the leader Cao Yi over.
The healthy old man stood aside respectfully.
Cao Xing did not immediately tell him to do things, but took a look at his rank.
"Cao Yi, have you reached the full level of the first level?"
With a gentle smile on his face, the old man said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Lord, I have also gone to the training ground to exercise for a while in the past few days, and I feel that my old bones have become much stronger."
After hearing this, Cao Xing nodded and said, "That's right, Cao Yi."
After saying that, he took out a [Heart of Primary Power] from his backpack.
"Take this and use it to break through later."
Cao Yi took it respectfully, and then said with great gratitude: "Thank you, Lord, for the gift."
Since his loyalty is already full, there is no prompt to increase his loyalty.
After sending out his heart of strength, Cao Xing began to ask about business matters.
"How is the production of our [transporter] going?"
Cao Yi said respectfully: "Lord, we have been working hard in the machinery factory for the past two days. We have produced a total of 5 transport vehicles and placed them in the open space next to the factory."
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing turned his gaze.
Sure enough, I saw five transport vehicles with a black appearance and a doomsday wasteland style parked next to the [Intermediate Machinery Factory].
The whole body is made of heavy metal, and there are a pair of curved buckets in front of the car, which look like a pair of horns.
This thing can be used to attack enemies or shovel snow.
The car is nearly eight meters long and looks very heavy.
In addition to the cab, there are compartments in the back with plenty of space.
It is also destined that the speed of this [transport vehicle] will not be too fast, and 80 kilometers per hour is its limit.
Its biggest feature is that the wheels are large and easy to operate.
This kind of transport vehicle is very convenient whether it is used to load people or ore.
Of course, the comfort is definitely not that high.
However, in this apocalyptic world, having a means of transportation is considered good, and there is no way to ask for too much.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then called Da Zhuang over again.
Da Zhuang saluted respectfully and said: "Lord, please give me your instructions."
Cao Xing ordered: "You will go to the blacksmith shop later and ask Harold to get the enchanting ore manuscript."
"Your task today is to become familiar with the operation and driving functions of these transport vehicles."
"Then lead all the goblin workers, as well as the ground-drilling robots and forklift robots, to a mine seven kilometers away to mine the resources inside."
"I will let Cantor lead a team of centaur warriors to protect you."
That's right, the mine Cao Xing mentioned is naturally the Mole Man's mine.
There are rich mineral deposits in the mine, including iron, copper, silver, and even magic crystals, etc.
He has been thinking about it for a long time.
Now, my own [Transporter] has finally been built and can be put into mining!
Da Zhuang wrote down Cao Xing's orders one by one, and then respectfully said: "I obey, Lord Lord!"
"I'll do my best to get it done."
After saying that, Da Zhuang took Er Zhuang to Ba Zhuang to learn how to drive a transport truck.
Then, Cao Xing looked at another polar man.
"Duane."
"Lord, my subordinates are here."
Cao Xing asked: "How is the progress of fertile fields and greenhouses?"
Du An respectfully replied: "Lord, according to your instructions, the two fertile fields have been cultivated and greenhouses have been built on them."
"In addition, the territory's furnace has also been upgraded to level 16, turning it into a big furnace."
"However, the well is still being excavated. Because the soil is too hard, construction is difficult and it will take some time."
Cao Xing nodded again after hearing this.
Then he looked towards the furnace in the center of the territory.
[Melting Pot: Level 16]
[Furnace effect: It can increase the temperature by 25℃~45℃ for an area with a diameter of 5000 meters (the heating range can be adjusted freely)]
[Consumption]: 60 minutes/600 wood or 60 minutes/140 coal, 60 minutes/1 primary magic crystal
[Materials required for the next level]: Iron*5,000, stone*1000, copper*300, mithril*100, intermediate elemental crystal*50]
(Introduction: A large furnace that can provide a large amount of heat source is the basis for the territory to transform from a small gathering place into a large town.)
…
At this moment, after the furnace became a large furnace, its height suddenly increased from three meters to five meters.
Its appearance has also changed from the original stone pillar to a large iron pillar.
This large iron pillar is divided into sections and connected to each other. It looks like a large battery. There is energy and light flowing at the connection. It already has some technological style.
Cao Xing thought to himself: "With the level 16 furnace, the heating range has been greatly increased, directly to 5 kilometers, and the heating range can also be adjusted, which is quite convenient."
"In addition, the energy consumed ranges from wood and coal to the addition of primary magic energy crystals."
"A primary magic energy crystal contains 100 units of energy, and it burns out in 60 minutes. This consumes a lot of money."
But that's okay.
Because his transporter has already been built.
The mining efficiency of those goblin laborers is still very high. They can bring back a large amount of mana crystals for him in one day, and this consumption is not worth mentioning at all.
So, Cao Xing looked at Du An and said, "Today your task is to build more bullpens and upgrade them all to the intermediate level."
"At least five cowsheds need to be built."
"If you have extra manpower, go and upgrade our city walls and upgrade all the walls to frost walls."
After hearing this, Du An immediately said respectfully: "I obey, my powerful lord!"
At this point, all staff members basically have tasks.
In the territory, other combatants Cao Xing did not leave them idle either.
"Today, all Ascalon warriors and wild boar warriors have entered the warrior camp and trained in batches."
"All Lance and Shield Cavalry, enter the Knights Hall for training."
"The archers are responsible for the security of the territory, as well as the territory's citizens who go out to collect resources, and make sure nothing happens to them."
On the field, many combatants looked stern, and then said respectfully: "I obey, Lord Lord!"
At this time, Cao Xing seemed to remember something, and he called the black smoke shaman.
"Blot."
"My subordinate is here, respected lord."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, "I'll give you a location. Today you go explore the area near that place and see what the situation is like."
"If you feel there is danger, remember to evacuate immediately."
The place Cao Xing asked Blot to investigate was the ancient battlefield that Yao Yiming mentioned before.
Although it's not far from his territory.
But because Cao Xing had many more important things to do, he never had the chance to investigate.
Now, manpower has been drawn out.
The black smoke shaman said respectfully: "I obey!"
The words fell.
Everyone dispersed and began to follow Cao Xing's instructions.
Soon, Cao Xing himself was the only one left.
He is not going to go out today,
Cao Xing looked at the seeds in his backpack and couldn't wait to sow them.
But before that, he had to go find Harold.
After all, Elisa specifically asked him to prepare a batch of chicken catching things last night.
Cao Xing went straight into the blacksmith shop and saw the blacksmith.
"Lord, I wish you well."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, and then said straight to the point: "Harold, I'm going out in the next two days to catch some chickens and cows."
"chicken?"
There was a look of confusion on Harold's rough face.
"Well, it's a light-feathered chicken." Hearing the name, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"It turns out to be this kind of magical creature... This kind of chicken has a very strong life-saving ability. Their claws and beaks are very sharp and can even easily cut through iron plates. They are not easy to catch..."
Cao Xing nodded and said: "Yes, so I need a batch of props that can catch these birds. Do you have any ideas?"
Harold thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes!"
"Ordinary things cannot trap such magical creatures, but the Lord brought back a lot of vines last time."
"Among them, those leader-level vines are particularly tough and are used to make several large nets to ensure that these bare-feathered chickens cannot escape."
After hearing this, Cao Xing also had a smile on his lips.
"Okay, then stop other work first and help me make some big nets."
"As you command! Lord."
At this time, Harold continued: "By the way, Lord Lord, the trident you asked me to build last time has been built and is in the storage box. Go and get it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly.
I have to say that his efficiency is really high.
Cao Xing quickly walked over and opened the storage box.
[Obtain: Siren's Song Trident (Gold)]
…
At this moment, a trident about one meter long and glowing with golden light appeared in Cao Xing's hand.
The gorgeous halberd body is covered with dense patterns, which look like musical notes or the spray of ocean waves.
The top of the trident and the center of the body are each inlaid with a sparkling gem.
It is [Flash Gold Gem] and [Earth Gem]
I looked at the properties.
[Siren's Song Trident (Gold)]
[Quality: Treasure]
[Equipment Level: Level 30]
[Attack power: 672~683]
[With special effects ①: Spirit +100, Agility +80, Hit rate +10%]
[With special effects ②: gold glitter gem + earth gem (attributes are the same as before)]
[Included special effect ③: Song of the Siren (When releasing the skill, there is a 40% chance of emitting the Song of the Siren, causing all enemies within a 50-meter radius to have a 50% chance of being bewitched and attacking surrounding enemies.)]
(Note: A trident that has been improved and given special abilities was created by the senior blacksmith Harold Iceberg)
…
Seeing the attributes above, a look of surprise flashed across Cao Xing's face.
Obviously, given two golden gems, plus Harold's improved trident, its attributes are far more powerful than ordinary level 30 golden equipment.
Especially the last special effect [Song of the Siren] can play a great role in team battles.
Cao Xing put the weapon into his backpack, and then praised: "Not bad, Harold."
"This weapon is quite powerful."
Hearing the admiration, the dwarf next to him also had a humble smile on his face.
Cao Xing put the trident into his backpack and left the blacksmith shop.
"Clang!"
The blacksmith shop door was closed.
He went straight to the back garden area of his territory and found the two beauties from the Tree Spirit Tribe with a peaceful temperament.
After the two women saw him, they bowed slightly.
Juliette said respectfully: "Lord, you are here."
Neve also raised her little hand and greeted happily: "Good morning, Lord Lord!"
Cao Xing nodded, and then said: "Juliet, Neve, are you busy now? I have something to ask you."
The two women looked at each other, then chuckled and said: "Lord, I'm not busy right now, but we still have something to ask you for."
"Oh? What's the matter? You guys talk first."
Neve replied: "The vine head fort you asked us to plant last time has already grown!"
"We want the lord to take a look."
Cao Xing also became interested after hearing this.
Because according to Juliette before, this kind of fort is very evil and usually only grows in plague areas.
Unexpectedly, it was successfully planted in his territory.
"Okay, then take me to see it first."
"Okay, Lord."
After saying that, the two girls took Cao Xing's hands, one each, and led Cao Xing forward.
Being led by two beauties, Cao Xing also felt a strange feeling in his heart.
"Lord, since these two plants are relatively evil, I planted them far away from other plants."
"If you find the solid magic flower pots in the future, you can remove them or plant them directly on the city wall."
Cao Xing nodded. Although he didn't know what [Gure Mo Flower Pot] was, he could tell just from Juliette's description that this thing was very useful.
I secretly made a note of this in my mind.
Then, he saw the two strange plants under the corner of the city wall.
They look like a freshly peeled dragon fruit, but there are rows of spikes standing on the surface.
The body was also constantly exuding a strong black-purple aura, splashing out like pus.
Even the surrounding five meters of land was dyed black and purple.
This plant looks very evil at first glance.
Cao Xing also looked at the attributes.
【Tengshou Fort】
[Race: Mordmorten]
[Level: Level 25 (Level 3 boss-level creature)]
[Health: 37823/37823 (pale tree bonus)]
[Attack power: 1754~1863]
[Armor: 293~311]
[Skill: Plague Cannonball (launches a plague cannonball, causing 147% damage to all enemies within 10 meters and creating a 50-meter plague area;
Enemies that enter the range will be attached to the plague state and continue to lose health. The duration of the plague area is 5 seconds and the cooling time is 20 seconds. )
Plague vines (shoots 3~5 vines against approaching enemies, causing entanglement effect on the enemies, and 3 layers of plague state, cooling time: 30 seconds)
Eating corpses (by eating rotten corpses on the ground, you can quickly recover your health, 5% of your health will be restored every second, and the cooling time is 100 seconds)]
(Note: An evil plant. They have strong defensive capabilities, but will pollute the surrounding land.)
…
"Good guy, the properties of this thing are quite strong, and the plague cannonball skill is really a defensive skill!"
As mentioned in the system introduction, this thing is an evil plant that spreads plague and pollutes the land.
But at the same time, it's also powerful.
Cao Xing frowned and was hesitating whether to shovel down these two plants.
Juliette, who was next to her, seemed to notice Cao Xing's worry and said softly: "Lord, you don't have to worry that it will pollute our territory."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because there is a Pale Tree in our territory."
Juliette said proudly: "The power of the Pale Tree prevents Mordrem from overstepping it. It also remains asleep in its territory."
"I have been observing these two plants for a while. Their range of activities is only two or three meters around them. They have not expanded even one centimeter in the past few days."
Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.
If it's only two or three meters, it's nothing.
If the scope of contamination is too large, it will be painfully removed.
"Okay, continue to observe and report to me if there is any abnormality."
The two women nodded at the same time.
Then, Cao Xing said: "Let's go, let's go to the next place."
After saying that, he walked straight forward.
The two women looked at each other and then followed him obediently.
Soon, they came to the two newly reclaimed farmland areas at the back of the territory.
Just like what Duan said, these fertile fields have been covered with greenhouses, and beneath them are reclaimed black soil.
Just by looking at it, you can tell that these lands must be very fertile.
I looked at the properties.
[Elementary fertile land]
[Durability: 10]
[Single block area: 60 cm*60 cm]
[Total area: 324 square meters]
[Effect: Accelerate the growth of crops by 10%]
…
Cao Xing nodded slightly.
"Yes, primary fertile fields also have the effect of accelerating the growth of crops. With the bonus of the Pale Tree, it will be even faster."
Then, Cao Xing took out two bags of seeds from his backpack.
He first looked at Juliette, and then asked: "Juliette, the seed growth conditions of these two crops are relatively harsh. Do you think our two fertile fields can meet the requirements?"
Juliette looked at it carefully, then nodded and said: "Yes, Lord..."
After hearing this, Cao Xing also had a smile on his lips.
Then, he took the two girls into the shed.
He took out another shovel from his backpack.
"rustle……"
The soft soil was shoveled away by him.
Cao Xing took out 4 [Cold Dew Rice Seeds (Green)] from his backpack and poured them directly into the pit.
Covered with soil again.
After that, he squatted aside and waited.
Little Neve couldn't help but remind: "Lord, after the seeds are sown, it will take some time to grow."
Cao Xing smiled and said, "I know."
After speaking, he took out a [Human Face Tree Heart (Green)] from his backpack.
This is just an ordinary human-faced tree heart, which can speed up the growth time by 0.5 to 1 year.
This kind of tree heart also has the largest reserve, with more than 400 of them.
Cao Xing imitated Juliette's movements and placed the heart of the tree, which was like a green agate, in his hand.
Then break it lightly.
"bite!"
The sound of crystal shattering sounded.
The pure vitality flowed into the soil and soon disappeared.
The soil below then begins to move at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"rustle……"
The sound of soil breaking sounded, and four young shoots quickly emerged from the soil and continued to grow taller.
In the blink of an eye, it grew from a tender seedling to a seedling of thirty or forty centimeters.
Then the growth stopped halfway.
The two girls stared at Cao Xing's movements with big watery eyes.
…
