Two days in the blink of an eye.

There was an unexpected calm in the Dawn region, all nationalities did not move. In fact, the hearts of the senior members of the four nations are very clear. Peace is an illusion. The battle of the Lotus Plains is bound to enter **, and now it is the calm before the storm.

Humanity has been preparing for war all the time. Within two days, 2,000 mercenaries entered the Xueguang Plain. This number is still growing at a rapid pace.

Huang Quan and Dragon Soul, under the leadership of the two second-level regiments, constantly organized mercenaries to challenge the secret environment. On the one hand, they strengthened the main force, and on the other hand, they produced a lot of resources, all of which were used to grow insect nests.

The consumption of the hive is like a bottomless pit, but it has made significant progress in cultivating it with the power of the clan. When consuming most of the magic ores transported from the camp, the strength of the hive is greatly increased, especially when it comes to cultivating adequacy.

Originally, this nest could only hold 100 units, but now it has been increased to 300 units, which is equivalent to 300 normal zerg or 60 elite zerg. The strength of the worm has also been improved. At present, the strength of the Elite Worm has moved away from the Bronze Elite level and reached the strength of the Silver Elite.

Although the capacity of insect nests has increased several times, it is still far from reaching the level of breaking through the bottleneck. If [Intermediate Hive] wants to upgrade to [Advanced Hive], there is still a long way to go, and there is a lot of room for improvement.

According to Zhang Tong's preliminary prediction, the reproduction limit of the middle hive is 1,000 Zerg units!

When the nest depleted human resources, breeding had to be suspended, because the nest consumed a lot of resources every day. If there are no stored resources, the strength of the nest will slowly decrease and eventually return to a dormant state.

The hive capacity is not enough.

Therefore, it is necessary to obtain resources by other means.

Zhang Tong first thought of the black market. The black market has erratic hours, but it's practical. Black market purchases are at greater risk. In addition to the black market, there are only mystery shops. Zhang Tong wrote "high-energy substance" on the wishing card.

Unlike the black market, the Mystery Shop only sells equipment, skill books, intelligence, and more. In principle, it does not sell materials or semi-finished products. However, the Wishing Card relationship is not subject to the Mystery Shop rules.

The Wishing Card has a huge flaw, it cannot buy one item in large quantities. Each time the academy buys equipment, skills, and materials, the mysterious merchant will only bring one item.

Therefore, I can only hope that the mysterious merchant will bring something strong enough to improve the insect nest even more.

The next day.

Zhang Tong returned to the Dawn Camp and first repaired and preserved his weapons and equipment.

Mysterious merchants can only be summoned at night. It's still a while before it gets dark. A few fat men ran to play again, and when Zhang Tong came back as before, he took Du Rongrong and a few women to the bar for a meal first.

Zhang Tong took the opportunity to visit the chef and made a magical dish for the chef.

The chef was not disappointed. It only took him two hours to finish cooking and make more than 30 D-grade miracle foods. Grade D food is the top miracle food in the Dawn region. Only a chef can get the most out of a D-grade ingredient.

Zhang Tong checked the food one by one.

Food at this level, even after a normal grilling process, loses 80% of its value and tastes absolutely top-notch. The chef makes D-grade food, which is a delicacy that is hard to find in the world and has a strong stat bonus. After eating it, it can greatly increase the strength and has an extremely high combat value.

"These foods work differently. Most of them add 4 basic attributes, and some can enhance health and magic. You have good stats, but your mana is too low. It is advisable to eat some food before the battle to enhance the magic!"

The chef introduces his food with a big belly.

"Thank you very much. Zhang Tong will pay, "I will pay you the processing fee." ”

The cook shook his head: "No, I understand the situation in the Dawn region. Kid, cheer me up and kill some foreigners!"

The processing cost of D-grade ingredients is extremely high. Most people find chefs, but chefs don't have to be dry. Now they go to Zhang Tong for free, which can save a lot of money!

The chef had something to say and left.

Zhang Tong began to look at the food one by one. As a Ranger, no matter how strong he becomes, magic is definitely no match for the elements. In particular, if you have mastered a wide range of high-damage skills, such as "Delong Yanpo", or advanced skills of legal professionals, such as "Heart Curse Seal", you can squeeze out magic after a few casual demonstrations. If you carry a Magic Storage Crystal, you can replenish it in time to make up for the lack of magic power. However, magical storage crystals are not available. Even with Zhang Tong's status and identity, you can't prepare a large number of magic storage crystals.

[Fire Pig King Delicate Meatballs), D-grade magic food, recovers 50 mana per minute for 15 minutes, and the maximum magic value is 500, 60 minutes.

"That's a good thing indeed!"

Zhang Tong took a closer look at the meatballs. The meatballs only have three large bangs. They are still steaming hot, fresh in color, and very appealing. The surface is covered with a magical aura. As soon as they were taken out, a strong smell of meat immediately spread for dozens of meters.

Zhang Tong took out the "Meat of the King of Flame Pigs", which weighed about a few kilograms, was big and fast, and finally made into meatballs. It's never a chef cutting corners. It uses magic cooking to concentrate food.

Now is not the time when any chef can do it. It must be close to the master chef.

The chef's cooking level is about to break through.

Soon the chef will become a true master of magic!

Zhang Tong found a box, about the size of a briefcase, which was specially used to hold food.

"It's really fragrant and appealing... You don't need to eat it, it must be delicious. Du Rongrong had just eaten a table of delicious food, but she couldn't resist the temptation of meatballs. He started drooling again. "Wood, why don't we discuss it, I'll give 300 points, buy a meatball and go back and taste it?"

Zhang Tong knocked her head directly: "Stop, is this a snack? There are only three here!"

"You hit me on the head again!" Du Rongrong pouted as she stared into her eyes. "Stingy, I'm ignoring you!"

No one can resist the temptation of this delicacy.

Leng Yun also swallowed his saliva secretly, but he was not as unreliable as Du Rongrong. She smiled and said, "Silly girl, don't be angry with wood! 300 points is enough for a good skill book, little meatballs, where is the bargain?"

Du Rongrong said pitifully, "I just want to eat!"

Lin Caiyan's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said, "What's the hurry? Wood will grow into a chef at the same level as a chef! At that time, you can eat as much as you want!"

Du Rongrong's eyes lit up, and he said maliciously: "Well, it's true... For the good luck of the future, the young lady seems to personally urge Wood to practice cooking!"

Zhang Tong couldn't help it. "Save it!"

"Impossible!" Du Rongrong's eyes rolled, and he was turned by Ga Zing, "Such a good food tempted me, but I didn't eat it, I must make up for it." Good... I'm going to roast their wings with ten ** birds and take them away!"

Roasted Bird's Wings are a kind of FF magic food in the Tavern. It tastes tender, has good quality, and has a low price. It is very popular.

Zhang Tong met Du Rongrong's request and spent more than 200 gold coins to buy her ten roasted wings.

"Let's go!"

"Yun Jie, Yan Jie, Mu Mu, please eat one." Du Rongrong said casually, "You're welcome!"

Zhang Tong smiled bitterly and said, "This spirit can really send flowers to the Buddha!"

The four of them walked out of the tavern talking and laughing, it was already completely dark, and the streets of Camp Dawn were even noisier. Several women in revealing clothes pose on the road, attracting passers-by, presumably rose mercenaries, to develop their business.

Bright lights, shouts, cries, one after another, small places, full of prosperity!

The night breeze blew softly, with a hint of coolness. Zhang Tong walked down the street, holding delicious roasted wings in his hands, eating as he walked. The wings of the bird are very large, weighing 1 kg, tender on the outside and delicious on the inside. It was a pleasure to have hearty wine and food, a cool breeze, and the three women who were with her, Ying Ying and Yan Yan.

The faces of several people are greasy, and no one cares about the image, because now, the most worthless thing is the image. The collapse of the civilized world makes people feel less bound and free, directed directly at their own hearts. If there is no pressure to survive, Zhang Tong wants to live now.

That night.

Zhang Tong summons a mysterious merchant in a small street.

The Mystery Shop looks different than usual. The big black truck is no longer as dilapidated as it used to be. It seems to have been repaired and repainted, becoming black and shiny.

"It's ......"

Zhang Tong was a little surprised.

The mysterious merchant smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that the score is a little higher, and it's all thanks to you!"

It turns out that the mysterious merchant has been upgraded!

"I brought what you wanted. ”

The mysterious merchant reached into his sleeve and pulled out a fist-sized fiery red stone. It is crystal clear and radiant, like a powerful light bulb that shines brightly on the streets.

[Level 4 Geocentric Crystal], CC-level spar, the spar is bred in the depths of lava, and although it is powerful, it is not easy to control. During the forging or gold smelting process, it can easily explode and even threaten the life of the producer.

"Fourth-level hedrons, good things!"

"Due to the restrictions of the rules of the Dawn Zone, there is no way to introduce more advanced materials. The spar is a continuous casting grade material and belongs to the fourth grade spar. In terms of energy intensity, it is in no way weaker than some Grade 5 materials. It is equivalent to hundreds of third-grade spars, thousands or even second-grade spars, and tens of thousands of first-grade spars!"

The energy of the hedron is higher than that of ordinary ore!

Such a fourth-level spar is at least equal to tens of thousands of first-grade spars, and the energy level is almost equal to 20,000 first-level magic ores.

If the insect nest is absorbed.

Sure to get a significant improvement!

"Good, how much?"

"No, 30,000 gold coins!" 166 Reading Network
