Chapter 2 Gifts from the Earth, Midas Turning Stone into Gold
“In this case, the ‘Stage of Overlord’ is definitely a talent with great potential!”
Xia Tian’s eyes glowed.
Of course, the talent of the "Son of the Plane" is not weak at all. He is obviously the template of the famous "Great Mage" in ancient China!
Therefore, Xia Tian felt jealous when looking at these two talents.
"But seriously speaking, the third 'Midas' talent may be a more suitable choice."
But Xia Tian restrained his impulse and set his sights on the third talent choice. superior.
"The power of creation, enhanced rewards, wonders of heaven and earth!"
Although the rules of the "eternal land" after the fusion of the heavens are not yet clear, it has the "power of creation" "The talent of this kind of entry will not be low no matter how high the level is.
Besides, being able to be put together with the "Son of the Plane, the Overlord's Stance" means that it is no less impressive.
Moreover, the first two talents still have certain shortcomings.
Although "Child of the Plane" is very powerful and has comprehensive effects, its effect is limited to the territory, and the specific harvest depends entirely on luck.
The "Overlord's Presence" requires a population to show its advantages, and the location and environment of his territory are complex. It is estimated that it will be hundreds of millions of points difficult to obtain a large number of people in the early stage.
Only the talent of "turning stone into gold" has wide applicability and can be effectively used in various environments. Especially when he took a course of market economics in college, he clearly remembers that person The professor said that when the market is large enough, the benefits of product quality actually far exceed quantity.
“I choose to ‘turn stones into gold’!”
So after some consideration, Xia Tian made the final decision.
[You have chosen the lord talent "Midas to Gold". The number of times this talent can be triggered without consumption is: 10. ]
[Note: All lord talents need to consume the "luck" of the territory when used. Thanks to the generosity of the earth's will, all lords will initially have a certain amount of time or times without consumption. 】
"Wow, you can still have sex for nothing? Praise Mother Earth!"
Xia Tian said with joy on his face.
"I found a treasure box in the Lord's Mansion, which can be used to get initial supplies. Everyone, hurry up and open the box. There are mysterious surprises inside!"
At this time, the "area" in the lower left corner of the sight Chat”, someone else broke new information.
"Treasure chest? This is good, I like treasure chests the most!"
Whether it is in games or novels, treasure chests are something that people are full of expectations for.
Xia Tian's eyes lit up and he was ready to enter the Lord's Mansion to open the treasure chest.
[Do you want to use the "Midas to Gold" method on the 'Lord's Mansion'? 】
And when his hands touched the red door of the lord's mansion, a golden prompt message suddenly appeared in his sight.
"Hey, can this talent also be effective for 'buildings'? How about giving it a try first?"
Xia Tian's heart moved.
Immediately, a ray of golden light centered on the location touched by his hands, and spread as quickly as a stream of light toward the entire Lord's Mansion, covering every corner.
About ten seconds later, after the golden light dissipated, the Lord's Mansion had completely changed its appearance. The black wooden plaque was covered with a thick layer of gold, and the red-painted wooden pillars turned into white marble pillars with a dragon pattern. The two-meter-long The bluestone wall turned into a ten-foot-high solid granite wall, and some patrol towers appeared where people could stand.
Especially the two stone lions at the door, which turned into the shape of "Suanni", one of the legendary nine sons of the dragon. They were majestic and domineering, and their eyes were so lifelike that Xia Tian almost thought they were living creatures.
"Hey, this change is too big, isn't it? It's like changing a shotgun for a cannon!"
Xia Tian said in surprise.
In addition to occupying a relatively large area, the original Lord's Mansion looked a bit simple overall.
But today's Lord's Mansion, even if placed in the most prosperous dynasty in ancient times, is at least equivalent to the level of the General's Mansion.
"If we continue to choose the 'Midas Touch', won't we reach the level of a royal palace or a royal palace? Maybe there will even be a 'good fortune' in the middle of the way to become a so-called 'wonderful object', such as a castle in the sky, a cloud-top heavenly palace, etc. "
Xia Tian's imagination was wide open, but he did not continue to try. Instead, he opened the door and entered his lord's mansion. According to the chat channel, he found the items placed in the corner of the white marble lord's hall. iron treasure chest.
Using the "Eye of Insight" among the lord's skills, several lines of information appear on the treasure chest.
【Exquisite iron treasure chest】
[Level] Mortal level (the level of items is limited to Mortal level)
[Description] After opening it, you can get some initial materials from it, and you will definitely get at least one 'green' quality item.
When Xia Tian reached out and touched the box, another golden reminder appeared.
【Do you want to use "Midas to Gold" on the 'Exquisite Iron Treasure Chest'? 】
“It seems that the treasure chest belongs to the category of ‘reward’? Use it, of course you have to use it!”
Xia Tian said without hesitation.
Just like the previous lord's mansion, the golden light blooming with his finger as the center enveloped the entire iron box.
When the light dissipated, the material of the treasure chest had changed from iron to copper, and the pattern details and overall shape on it were much more exquisite!
【You have obtained a 'rare copper treasure chest', do you want to use the 'Midas to Gold' method on it? 】
The golden prompt reappeared. Without thinking too much, Xia Tian spent two more opportunities to "turn stones into gold", changing the material of the treasure box from copper to silver, and finally turned it into a treasure box completely made of gold, with extremely delicate techniques on it. It is carved with dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and other mythical beasts, and the details are vivid; there are also cloud patterns, which seem to be surging!
[Precious gold treasure chest]
[Level] Ordinary level
[Description] After opening it, you can get some initial materials from it, and you will definitely get at least one piece of 'gold' Quality items.
At this time, in Xia Tian's field of vision, there was no more prompt to "turn stones into gold".
"So, gold is already the highest grade, or the highest currently?"
Xia Tian was thoughtful.
“Huh, next, it’s time to witness a miracle!”
However, his attention soon returned to the luxurious gold treasure chest in front of him.
Pop!
Xia Tian opened the box with anticipation, and his vision was swallowed up by colorful light in an instant.
["Five Animals Play" (gold), Divine Arm Crossbow Manufacturing Blueprint (gold), Small Refugee Recruitment Scroll (gold), Random Arms Training Manual (Silver), Residential Construction Guide (Blue), Warring States Bronze Sword ( Green), Moutai · 1 box (white)]
[Note: The items obtained by opening the treasure box will be automatically stored in the lord's space. The initial volume is 100 cubic meters, which can be expanded by consuming luck. 】
“Hiss, there are three golden items, worthy of the name ‘Midas that turns stone into gold’... Well, wait a minute, there seems to be something strange mixed in, Moutai?”
Xia Tian thought, and a bottle with a red label and a white background that most Chinese people were familiar with appeared in his hand.
"What's the use of this thing?"
A box of Maotai was found in the resource treasure box, which made Xia Tian feel slightly speechless.
Because he doesn’t know how to drink liquor at all.
Moreover, the value of Maotai is completely hyped. Even on earth, except for the Dragon Kingdom, not many people in other countries will buy it!
What’s more, now that the earth is gone, will this thing still be valuable?
At this time, Xia Tian's eyes swept over the "Regional Chat" channel in the lower left corner.
“Awesome, this treasure box can actually bring out items from the earth. Let me go, do you believe it! I actually got a box of instant noodles, which taste like Laotan pickled cabbage. Suddenly I felt very at ease mentally. , I thought that after becoming a lord, I would only be able to eat abalone, lobster, wild game, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and I would never be able to eat my favorite Kang Shuai Fu instant noodles!"
"From the treasure chest! I couldn’t afford to smoke ten cartons of Chinese cigarettes on earth, but now I can finally smoke enough. Now that the heavens have merged, lung cancer should be curable, right?”
“I prescribed it. A box of Jesse Bond, the problem is that my territory seems to be built next to a cemetery, so this thing can’t be used?”
“The cemetery lord in front, as long as you are brave...”
At this time, people in the chat channel spoke much more easily.
Perhaps the confusion and strangeness in the hearts of many lords has been alleviated a lot because of the things they are familiar with from the material treasure chest.
"Sell toilet paper at a high price, and each roll will be exchanged for 10 resources. Dear earth lords, you don't want to use leaves or bamboo slices to solve the problem, right?"
"Someone wants to Red wine? One bottle of Lafite from 1982 is exchanged for 100 portions of food or resources, and only four bottles are sold on a first-come, first-served basis!”
“I am Zhou Xiaoyu, the anchor of KuaiDou, does anyone need underwear? It’s original, not second-hand.”
Some people even shouted in the channel and tried to sell the items they unpacked.
This also made Xia Tian realize that his judgment was completely wrong.
The value of Moutai in this eternal place may be higher than on earth, because it is "out of print".
Of course, compared to alcohol, cigarettes should have a stronger monetization ability. For many middle-aged men who are addicted to cigarettes, they are absolutely willing to spend their own resources to buy them.
What, how to develop the resource territory after selling it? Let me smoke a cigarette and think about it carefully!
"Don't have any illusions. I searched carefully and found that the 'trading system' was not open at all. It is estimated that it is either not available or there are still some conditions that need to be met."
However, someone soon came out to pour cold water on it.
Although he is a "national lord", it seems that he cannot trade supplies at the beginning, which means that all territories can only rely on themselves at the beginning.
"In this case, the quality of the initial supplies is even more important. My choice is indeed right. The resources obtained from the gold treasure chest are definitely much better than those from the iron treasure chest!"
Xia Tian has an idea.
With a flash of light on his hand, he took out a scroll-shaped prop with black characters on a gold background from the lord's space.
[Small Refugee Recruitment Scroll (Gold)]
[Level] Mortal
[Characteristics] Summon 100 mortals from the Illusory Sea near the territory. Refugees go to your territory, and there must be a "hero" with top potential among the refugees.
[Explanation] Among the refugees, there may also be crouching tigers, hidden dragons.
To develop a territory, the first factor is naturally "population"!
"I will definitely get a hero. He is worthy of the golden quality. I hope to recruit a fighting hero, so that the early development of the territory will be guaranteed."
Xia Tian will be with expectations. The golden scroll in his hand unfolded, and a white light rushed out of it and flew out of the territory.
