Chapter 293 Expert-level talents, repairing mecha (7000)
[Discovered special area: Snow Mountain Predator Prison...]
Cao Xing understood something when he saw the system prompt.
After the group of plunderers robbed the Chamber of Commerce and captured the merchants, they all were imprisoned here.
At this moment, the prison was empty, not a single soul could be seen.
As for where the people inside went, it is naturally self-evident.
At this moment, Liu Muxue seemed to sense something, and she threw a magic torch forward.
With the help of the blue light emitted by the torch, everyone saw a huddled figure appearing in the corner of the prison.
He hugged his body tightly, his head was buried in his knees, and his whole body was shivering.
When he realized that he had been discovered, he was shaking like chaff and kept mumbling: "Don't eat me, don't eat me..."
"The meat of goblins tastes terrible. It tastes just like... yes, it tastes just like jungle troll excrement..."
"To eat my flesh you might as well eat shit!"
Hearing this, everyone looked strange.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, glanced at his attributes.
[Goblin Craftsman: Locke Rich]
[Race: Goblin]
[Level: Level 27 (Level 3 ordinary creature)]
[Health value: 7328/10260]
[Attack power: 633~651]
[Skill: Oil the soles of the feet, flinch]
[Life Skills: Observation of Moments, Negotiation, Bargaining
Expert craftsman (very knowledgeable about various machines, speeding up mechanical manufacturing by 40% when making in a machine factory)
Expert-level mechanical maintenance (with rich maintenance experience, greatly increasing the success rate and speed of repairing various machinery)
[Talent: Energy Saving (When making various machinery in the machinery factory, reduce the materials required by 10%)]
[State: cold, fear, hunger, shrinkage...]
(Character introduction: One of the members of the Goblin Southern Chamber of Commerce, he is also an expert craftsman and knows a lot about various machines.)
…
Seeing this guy's attributes, Cao Xing suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Boy, this goblin actually has two expert life skills.
The [Expert Craftsman] skill is very simple. It speeds up the production by 40% when manufacturing [Transport Vehicles] or other mechanical props in the machine factory.
In addition, [Expert Mechanical Maintenance] is an incredible skill that can greatly increase the success rate of repairs.
Cao Xing was just worried about whether Xiao Chuchu would fail if he asked Xiao Chuchu to repair the mecha.
Now, he seems to have a better candidate?
In addition, this goblin's [Energy Saving Talent] can save 10% of the materials used to make machinery.
It may not sound like much, but in the long run, the effect is huge!
Can save a lot of resources.
This guy is a talent.
At this time, the goblin was still curled up on the ground, begging for mercy.
"Adults, please let me go. Goblin meat is not delicious at all."
"O God of the Crypt...save the poor goblin!"
It seemed that Cao Xing was here to catch him out, and the goblin was frightened.
In fact, everyone smelled a strange smell in the air.
This made several women in the team frown.
Cao Xing was speechless, and then said: "Okay, stop yelling, no one here wants to eat you."
"The group of snow mountain plunderers outside have been killed by us."
Hearing this, the goblin in the corner gradually stopped trembling.
He tentatively stretched his body and slowly raised his wrinkled head with pointed ears.
Then his eyes stayed on the crowd.
He first glanced at Liu Muxue and Sarah, and then looked at Assam and Andrew next to him.
In an instant, the goblin's deep pupils shrank suddenly.
Because he felt that these people had a completely different temperament from those snow mountain plunderers.
Assam is the kind of knight who seems to be full of justice.
Andrew next to him looked quiet and peaceful.
The goblin asked tentatively: "My lord, those cruel cannibals outside...were you really able to deal with them?"
Cao Xing spread his hands and said, "Of course."
Upon hearing this, the goblin burst into tears of joy!
"Oh my god, that's great!"
"The God of the Crypt is indeed blessing me! These damned plunderers have actually been dealt with!"
At this time, he seemed to remember something and rushed towards him while rolling and crawling.
"Sir, I am an important member of the Southern Goblin Chamber of Commerce!"
"Can you take me out? When I return to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, I will express my gratitude for your life-saving grace and give you a generous reward!"
After hearing this, Cao Xing asked: "We can take you out, but are you sure you can return to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters?"
Hearing this, the goblin in front of him was also stunned.
Yes...he stayed in this cave for an unknown number of days.
All the members of his caravan had been eaten up by the group of snow-capped mountain plunderers, and the whole army had been wiped out.
The headquarters of the Southern Goblin Chamber of Commerce is in the Southern Continent.
Although there is also their branch in the Western Continent, it is in another kingdom.
With his strength and his current penniless state, he simply cannot cross a kingdom.
Maybe he will lose his life due to various accidents along the way.
For a moment, the goblin in front of him felt that the sky was about to collapse, and he collapsed on the ground in a daze.
At this time, he seemed to remember something again, and said quickly: "My lord, if you can kill the snow mountain plunderers outside, you must be extremely powerful!"
"In our Southern Goblin Chamber of Commerce, there is a branch in the Kingdom of Nakrod..."
He asked in a tentative tone: "Sir, could you please take me there?"
"As long as I can get there, I can return to the Southern Continent, and then I will give you many, many crowns!"
"If you don't want crowns, there are all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and manor beauties for you to choose from. I can even give you some powerful goblin technology!"
"As long as you make a request, I will find a way to satisfy you!"
The goblin spoke in one breath.
It can be said that I have mentioned all the benefits that I can think of.
He looked at Cao Xing with hopeful eyes.
After hearing this, Cao Xing shook his head, "I have never heard of where the Nakrod Kingdom is, but I know that it will take at least a month just to cross the Ice Crystal Kingdom."
"I don't have that much time to take you there."
Hearing Cao Xing's clear rejection, the goblin craftsman felt that his sky was about to fall.
"God of the Crypt, am I going to die in this dark cave?"
"Or die in this inaccessible mountain?"
He held his head and cried bitterly.
But the corners of Cao Xing's mouth curved in an imperceptible arc.
He deliberately looked thoughtful.
Then it seemed like a decision was made.
"Well, how about I give you a chance."
Upon hearing this, the goblin stopped crying and looked at Cao Xing with a puzzled expression.
"What... opportunity?"
Cao Xing said directly: "I am a lord, and my territory is not far from here."
"Next, you work for me for one year. After one year, I will find a way to send you back to the Southern Continent directly. How about that?"
Upon hearing this condition, the eyes of the goblin craftsman in front of him burned with fire again.
He originally thought that he was dead, but the young man in front of him gave him hope again!
It's only one year. Even though the goblin's lifespan is not long, he can still wait for this time!
The goblin even wanted to agree on the spot.
However, because of his suspicious nature.
He raised his head and asked tentatively: "Are you really willing to send me back to the Southern Continent as long as I work for you for a year?"
Cao Xing chuckled and nodded.
He said it was a year, of course he was lying.
Cao Xing definitely wanted to keep this goblin craftsman in the territory to work for him.
After all, the territory is now about to enter a new stage.
And as Tong Chuchu breaks through the sixth level, he will get two new mechanical drawings.
At that time, your territory can enter the mechanical explosion mode.
With this expert goblin craftsman on hand, it can be said that it saved him a lot of time and materials.
Therefore, Cao Xing is just delaying it for now, keeping people in his own territory first.
However, who can say what will happen a year from now.
Maybe Cao Xing's territory could directly build that kind of transcontinental teleportation array.
It's not easy for this goblin to go back.
After receiving Cao Xing's confirmation, the goblin in front of him suddenly cried with joy.
He said excitedly: "This benevolent human lord, goblin craftsman, and president of the Southern Chamber of Commerce Branch, Locke Rich is willing to serve you!"
After hearing this, Cao Xing directly issued a recruitment invitation to him.
[Recruitment successful: Goblin Craftsman, Locke Ridge has joined your territory, territory population +1...]
…
Seeing the system prompts, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.
Not bad, not bad.
In this cave, not only a lot of resources are harvested.
Now I want to bring back a person with [Expert Craftsman] skills.
Cao Xing was very satisfied.
Now, it's time to repair that [Earth Dragon Mecha].
"Come on, pack yourself up and follow us out."
After saying that, Cao Xing casually took out a set of clothes from his backpack and threw them to him.
The goblin craftsman naturally saw his current embarrassing situation.
And his pants were soaked, and his whole body exuded a sour smell.
He lowered his head in embarrassment, and after everyone left, he quickly turned around and put it on.
Assam and others followed Cao Xing and walked out of the warehouse.
As soon as I got out, a system prompt appeared.
[Your territory member: Elisa has transformed successfully and has become a fourth-level leader-level creature. Her basic attributes have increased by 30% and she has acquired new skills: Cold Wind Feast]
[Cold Wind Feast: Condensate a large amount of ice elements to the limit. In the next 5 attacks, the arrows contain the power of cold wind, causing 147% tearing damage to enemies in a line. Skill cooldown time: 90 seconds]
…
Cao Xing was immediately happy when he saw the system prompt.
"Haha, Elisa actually succeeded. This new skill is great!"
Enemies in a line are equivalent to 100% penetration effect, which can be regarded as another group attack skill.
It directly makes up for the weakness of archers' lack of damage from group attacks.
Meanwhile, Elissa and Rhaenys walked over together.
One of the two women was in high spirits, while the other was a little depressed.
"Lord, I succeeded!"
"I failed..."
Cao Xing didn't see the system prompt from Renisi, so he naturally knew the result.
He comforted the woman, "It's okay. Sarah and the others have succeeded three times in a row. It's normal for you to fail this time."
"Don't be discouraged. It will be just as successful next time."
The Ascalonian archer nodded his head lightly, with gratitude in his eyes.
Elisa next to her stared at her blue pupils, as if expecting Cao Xing's praise.
Cao Xing first checked her attributes.
[Ice Archer: Elisa]
[Race: Human Race]
[Level: Level 31 2831/340000 (Level 4 leader creature)]
[Detailed attributes: click to view]
…
After Elisa is equipped with the [Withering Spirit Long Bow] and has been upgraded to a fourth-level leader, her attack power is still quite powerful.
"Yes Elisa, you have become stronger now."
After hearing Cao Xing's compliments, the little girl suddenly burst out laughing "hehehehe".
At this time, she seemed to have noticed the goblin craftsman next to Cao Xing, and said subconsciously.
"Ah! There is an ugly guy next to the lord!"
Upon hearing this, Locke Rich's face suddenly fell. He quickly retorted: "How can you, a little girl, talk? Among us goblins, I am a famous handsome man!"
Hearing this, Elisa said innocently: "Really? But I don't see anything beautiful about you at all!"
"You almost have more wrinkles on your face than my father. You must be seventy or eighty years old."
What this little girl said was heartbreaking.
Locke Richie suddenly became furious and put his hands on his hips: "What are you talking about? I am only 47 years old this year. In our goblin clan, I am in the strongest period, okay!"
And Elisa said in surprise: "Ah! So you are so old."
"Then I will call you Uncle Goblin from now on!"
Tong Chuchu next to him also shouted: "Uncle Goblin, hello!"
Rock Rich still wanted to argue that he was not that ugly.
However, faced with the innocent words of the two little girls, Rock Rich soon became speechless.
After all, lies never hurt, truth is the sharpest weapon.
He lowered his head helplessly, like a defeated rooster.
Cao Xing smiled and led the people to the damaged mecha.
The moment he saw the mecha, the slump in Locke Rich's eyes disappeared, and he suddenly became excited! .
"Oh! Dear Lord of the Crypt, this is the Earth Dragon Mecha our caravan brought out last time. It even has the power to destroy mountains!"
Elisa next to her asked: "Uncle Goblin, so this is something from your caravan?"
Locke Rich said proudly: "Of course, our goblin race is the smartest race on the entire earth. This Earth Dragon Mecha alone can kill a squad of a hundred knights!"
Elisa tilted her head and continued to ask: "Then your caravan has such a powerful mecha, how could it be caught by these predators?"
Hearing this question, Locke Rich suddenly became furious.
"When you talk about this, I get angry!"
"These guys are so insidious. They know that goblins are completely immune to all kinds of shining gems."
"I deliberately placed a lot of sparkling gems in the valley below."
"When we all go down, these guys will push the boulders and hit us!"
"The Earth Dragon mecha was destroyed by them before it even took off, and then...then we were all wiped out..."
After hearing this, everyone nodded suddenly.
It sounds like it is indeed the method used by those snow mountain plunderers.
Locke Rich continued: "You have no idea how cruel these guys are."
"They even skewered our tribe members and forced us to perform brazier dances while eating barbecue!"
"These guys later asked me to help repair and repair the Earth Dragon mecha to use it against people from other chambers of commerce."
"The most annoying thing is that after they can't find food in this mountain, these guys want to eat me."
This is why Locke Ridge is still alive today.
Without this skill, he would have been eaten as food just like other goblins.
As soon as Locke Rich's microphone was turned on, it seemed as if he couldn't turn it off, chattering endlessly about what those snowy mountain plunderers had done to them.
Everyone was speechless by his rapid-fire speech.
Cao Xing raised his right hand.
Locke Rich understood his gesture and shut his mouth instantly!
Then looked at him with an apologetic smile.
Cao Xing shook his head and asked directly: "Locke, I need you to repair this mecha now, are you sure about it?"
After hearing this, the goblin immediately replied: "No problem, my lord!"
"I know the structure of the Earth Dragon Mecha very well. Even if it is torn into pieces, as long as the energy core is still there, I can restore it to its original state!"
He patted his chest and assured himself, looking confident.
"Oh? How long will it take to repair it?"
When Locke heard this question, he looked at the Earth Dragon mecha carefully again, and then replied: "The damage to this mecha is not serious. I can repair it in about thirty minutes, no, twenty minutes!"
Cao Xing also laughed after hearing this.
"Very good, then go and repair it."
After speaking, Cao Xing took out a large amount of materials from his backpack.
Put it directly on the ground.
The goblin craftsman did not take action immediately, but asked a little coyly.
"My lord, do you have a repair kit?"
Cao Xing also reacted after hearing this.
He took out a [Goblin Mechanical Repair Tool Kit] directly from his backpack.
"Take it."
Goblin Locke took the tool kit from him respectfully and began his repair work.
"Dang! Dang!"
As a lot of material on the ground disappears.
The damaged parts of the Earth Dragon mecha began to recover quickly.
As repairs continue to shine.
Time passes slowly.
Everyone was waiting silently.
Ten minutes later, most of the damaged parts of the mecha had been repaired, and blue light emitted from its pupils.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The energy core begins to rotate.
As the mecha began to move, it then stretched out its right hand and supported the ground with one hand.
"Hangchi! Bangchi!"
The fallen [Earth Dragon Mecha] stood up from the ground.
Locke Rich used the last [Eternal Gold Ingot] on the head of the Earth Dragon Mecha, also announcing that the repair was successfully completed.
He stood on the shoulders of the Earth Dragon Mecha and said proudly: "Haha, with the blessing of the God of the Crypt, the Earth Dragon Mecha is resurrected!"
"With this mecha, I can even navigate this mountain without any hindrance!"
Cao Xing also smiled, and then checked the attributes of this mecha.
[Goblin Technology: Earth Dragon Mecha]
[Level: Level 48 (Level 5)]
[Detailed attributes: click to view]
…
"Good fellow, combat status consumes 100 units of energy in one minute, which is equivalent to consuming 1 primary magic energy crystal."
"And a highly valuable expert-level magic energy crystal can only be consumed by it for 100 minutes, and this is only an ideal situation."
"When this mecha uses various skills in battle, it will also consume mana faster."
"In other words, 10,000 units of energy is enough for it to fight at full power for half an hour at most."
Cao Xing was shocked.
This thing is strong, but it consumes too much.
Moreover, Cao Xing still had another worry in his mind.
That is——
"This thing should be able to receive bonuses from various states, right?"
He decided to give it a try, so he threw an ice healing spell directly at it.
The next moment, a system prompt appeared.
[The release of [Ice Therapy] was successful, blessed by the talent [Eternal Power], this skill has become a permanent state...]
…
At the same time, the reply numbers of +1872 and +1872 kept popping up on the head of this mecha.
"Haha, it really works!"
Cao Xing was immediately overjoyed.
At this moment, the durability of this mecha is also constantly recovering.
Under normal circumstances, mechas like this are worn out during battles, and after the battle, the mechanics in the team need to use some materials to repair them.
Of course, it is certainly not as exaggerated as when repairing a damaged mecha.
But it’s also a big expense.
And now, because of the talent [Eternal Power].
Not only did it save Cao Xing a lot of resources in disguise, but it also greatly enhanced the combat capabilities of this mecha.
Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised.
He called everyone over directly, and then added various skills to them.
At this moment, this mecha with fifth-level leader-level strength has received a bunch of buffs from everyone, and it is equivalent to having fifth-level commander-level strength.
The breath all over my body surged!
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, okay, this thing is the biggest gain this time!"
"On a large battlefield, this is a life harvester!"
Locke Rich, who was standing on top of the mecha, said in surprise: "Oh my god, I feel it. The Earth Dragon Mecha has a stronger power!"
"The feeling it gives me has even reached the intensity of the master-level mecha in our clan!"
"What a terrifying increase!"
After hearing this, Cao Xing asked: "Oh? Do you goblin clan have stronger mechas?"
Locke Rich said proudly: "Of course, we not only have master-level mechas, but also stronger hero-level mechas!"
"Each of those hero-level mechas is a powerful weapon on the battlefield. Regardless of the cost of use, it can even destroy a city in a short time!"
Cao Xing also became interested after hearing this.
After all, it was a master-level and hero-level mecha.
Even the Earth Dragon Mecha has a fifth-level strength, which shows that these mechas have at least a sixth-level combat power.
He asked: "Is there any way to get me a master-level or hero-level mecha?"
Locke Rich simply shook his head.
"There is no way. Mechas of this level are the core technology of our goblin clan. They will not be easily available. No matter how much kroner you have, you can't buy them."
Hearing this, Cao Xing had a look of disappointment in his eyes.
But Locke Rich's next words rekindled Cao Xing's hope.
"However, the Earth Dragon mecha is the standard mecha of our goblin clan. The overall structure is very complete, ranging from the third level to the sixth level."
"If you can find more advanced materials, I can upgrade it to the sixth level master level!"
Cao Xing asked: "What materials are needed?"
"Master-level energy core."
Locke Rich continued: "Replace it with a more advanced energy core, and then add a large amount of advanced materials, and it will have even more powerful destructive power."
"However, this is very difficult. It is tantamount to building another mecha."
Cao Xing suddenly nodded after hearing this.
Although it is difficult to obtain the master-level energy core.
But this at least gave him a direction.
That is, these goblin mechas can also have stronger strength by upgrading various hardware.
He is truly an expert craftsman and knows so much.
At this time, the goblin craftsman looked around, his bloodshot eyes moving, as if he was thinking of something.
He laughed a few times, and then said: "Lord, this kind of Earth Dragon mecha needs a dedicated person to drive it in order to exert its power. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
This guy rubbed his withered palms and looked eager to try.
However, Cao Xing glanced at him and did not agree.
After all, he had just joined his territory not long ago and his loyalty was not high.
Of course, it was impossible for him to hand over the control of the mecha to him.
If Locke ran away in the mecha, he would have to work hard to catch him back.
So Cao Xing looked at Tong Chuchu next to him.
As a fourth-level mechanic profession, she now has the [Intermediate Mechanical Affinity] skill. She has a natural sense of familiarity with these mechanical creatures, and she can learn mechanical knowledge faster.
"Chu Chu, sit on it and try to control it."
Hearing this, the little girl looked at Cao Xing blankly.
"Ah? Brother, can I do it?"
Cao Xing nodded and said: "Of course, you have the mechanical affinity skill, and you can quickly become familiar with the control of these machines."
"In the later stages, most mechanics can control mechas."
Hearing this, Tong Chuchu was still a little unsure.
But she also knew that there was no one more suitable than herself.
The little girl said timidly: "Then...then I'll try it."
When the goblin craftsman next to him saw this, his face looked a little regretful.
But he didn't show it.
Instead, he slowly slid down along the arm of the Earth Dragon mecha.
At this time, Bronn came over and said: "Little girl Chu Chu, step on Bronn's shield and go up."
"Ah, thank you Uncle Bronn..." Tong Chuchu looked at him gratefully.
