Chapter 2 Preparations
The huge platform was suspended in the dark and silent void, and the soft white ball of light became the only light source in the entire space, and the vast vacuum environment was as vast as the universe.
Two lonely doors stood on top of the huge platform square, one wooden and the other metal, and although there were twice as many as before, they still felt lonely.
"Master, I've got all the preparations!"
Standing straight under the ball of light emitting soft light, Artoria stared at Xia Ran's eyes seriously, and her beautiful emerald green eyes were full of determination, with an indescribable momentum.
In fact, she has been in this strange state of euphoria since the other day.
The main reason is because of the upcoming mission
It's not that she really can't be idle for a moment, but Xia Ran told her before that she suddenly had a whim before the mission date approached, and suddenly felt that it was very likely that the next mission would be to return to the Fate world.
And this kind of whim in the underworld is a little strange, so he is not sure that this time he must return to the original world line, and even has a vague strange premonition, thinking that maybe this time there may be a chance......
Maybe maybe you can achieve Saber's long-cherished wish ahead of schedule...... Of course, this was just a vague feeling on his part.
But even so, Saber still couldn't sit still for a while, because the miracle that she had been searching for seemed to be about to befall her, and even the battle-hardened knight king couldn't stay calm anymore, although Xia Ran repeatedly reminded her that she couldn't guarantee absolute accuracy.
It's just a premonition, after all, if the realm is reached, many times you can receive the mysterious flow of information in the dark.
Many times, just like her super A-level intuition, there is no reason to talk about, maybe she hasn't realized what happened, but she just knows that something is going to happen...... But the reverse can also be wrong.
That is, knowing that something is going to happen, and making a judgment based on intelligence gathering, but the end result is very different, and such a thing is completely possible.
After all, the world is constantly changing dynamically all the time, it is a superposition of infinite possibilities, and after all, before the box is opened, it is possible whether the cat is dead or alive, and speculation is speculation, not a definitive result.
"I know, but I'm going to have to be prepared...... If we do have a chance this time, then we have to try to take advantage of it, but Saber doesn't want to fall short at the last minute. ”
For the knight king who became serious, Xia Ran nodded, and said very seriously, for Artoria, who was in such an excited state, such an attitude was necessary.
"I agree." Aber nodded vigorously, agreeing with this, and the Master's attitude of attaching such importance to this matter made her quite satisfied, and then asked in an inquiring tone, "But what should we do to prepare?" ”
"It's simple, it costs money."
Xia Ran said without thinking, opened his personal page and glanced at his current account balance.
Whether it is a causal crystallization or a point, it has accumulated a considerable amount, although in fact it is still very useless, and it may be just to buy a legendary-level equipment item, and you have to directly remove most of your savings.
But if you don't directly put the target on the standard of the legendary level, then this is still a considerable amount of wealth, and Xia Ran doesn't really need any finished legendary equipment props.
He is dressed in a god costume, he lacks nothing, and the skill level of "prop making" has been brushed to such a high level, all kinds of alchemy, enchantment, and forging can reach the overall gold-level level, and all it takes is time and energy.
So if there are conditions, wouldn't it be good to buy raw materials directly at a lower price or something?
After opening the exchange list and taking a look, Xia Ran was satisfied to find that there was no problem with this idea at all, the hoarding of raw materials in the space was still very lucrative, after all, not only did almost all lost people have hamster disease, but many people would rely on this way to earn certain points.
To put it simply, it's like the original world of The Elder Scrolls.
Many low-level lost people are reluctant to take risks to explore various tombs and mounds against powerful undead, magical creatures, resurrected dragons, and other enemies that inhabit the depths of their lairs, because although the benefits are high, the risks are also huge.
In such a high-magic world, even the robbers on the side of the road can use two spells, otherwise, how can they survive in the treacherous wild environment?
Therefore, low-level lost people don't want to take such a big risk, so they can only be liver in other aspects, after all, those worlds are full of treasures, all kinds of scarce magic plants, magic ores, and not only very sinister places.
Although the price of raw materials is definitely lower than that of finished products, which are often not as good as the crystallization of finished products that have been technically refined, as long as they are enough for the liver, they can always make a little money...... To put it bluntly, this is a job of striking gold and moving bricks.
Although the efficiency is a little lower, the risk is also much lower, and if you don't have the ability, you naturally have to do these jobs. Besides, this is a business without capital, and if you make good use of the task time for a year and a half, you can make a small profit.
Especially for those who are just starting out, being able to earn 10,000 or 20,000 or tens of thousands of points in this way may be able to purchase more than a dozen free attribute points, and then bring back a few low-level magic equipment or a few spell books, which is always a good harvest.
This also leads to the fact that the raw material reserves in the space are often very abundant, forming a stable ecology
Low-level lost people move bricks in this way and hoard a lot of raw materials, while high-level lost people generally don't lack materials when they have the capital to start farming various crafting skills.
At least for a long time, there will be no shortage until a certain world's specialty is also depleted in the spatial reserves...... But that's not a big deal, because every moment the lost enter a different quest world and bring something new back.
Many materials are often substituted, and at most the usage needs to be slightly modified, so don't worry about this.
And over time, many skilled forgers, alchemists, pharmacists, and other professions in the space have truly mastered physical properties, and can use various materials with similar characteristics to harmonize and make various equipment props.
Instead of just admitting the dead reason, you have to follow the original drawings, formulas, and formulas to make and reconcile, if there is no special product of a specific world to cooperate, then the relevant production methods mastered are equivalent to being directly abolished, and the brain will not turn at all......
"Saber, go to the square now, and buy whatever you need, or what you think will be useful to yourself...... I can't go now, so you'll have to make up your own mind. ”
Xia Ran said to Artoria while browsing through the raw material options in the exchange list while estimating how much he would want to buy
"By the way, didn't you open another space main line before? It is estimated that during this period of time, the equipment and props and various specialties of that world should be more popular, you can see what is suitable, and you can also ...... by sweeping a batch of goods."
He pulled down the list, flipped through the pages, and just in time to see some familiar goods among the new listings.
Great Recovery Potions, Strange Power Seeds, Paralysis Traps, Hook Hooks......
was just slightly stunned, and immediately remembered a spatial main line that was going on now, so he said so.
"Huh? Master, can you elaborate on that? ”
Artoria was a little puzzled, but she still asked with a straight face, after all, although the master's current financial resources are not bad, they are not infinitely squanderable, and she doesn't want to waste the points and crystals accumulated by the master and servant.
"There are also many unique things in that world, such as the forging technology of weapons and armor, which can also slay dragons in the magic world, and the various attack beads and other things that are refined by primitive alchemy, just like the gem inlays in the game......"
Xia Ran expressed his opinion: "This is not without merit, if it can be mass-produced, it can smash the elite-level army force...... And their medicines are also very unique, and those recovery potions are no different from the life potions on the magic side. ”
But it is also forced by the environment, the human beings in that world are a vulnerable group, and all kinds of natural disasters generally stand in the ecology, and even the powerful creatures that surpass the ecology are the masters of the world.
Maybe there are monster-like war kings among the hunters, who may be more ferocious than the ancient dragon, but they are also a very small number of the few, a special case among the exceptions, and most of the others are still vulnerable.
Hunting is impossible without accidents, and if you are injured every time, you have to slowly recuperate for three to five months...... Humanity probably perished long ago.
In addition, the energy environment of that world should also be very active, so many powerful creatures that can control various different energies will be reproduced, in fact, it can be said that it is a magical world with a crooked painting style.
Therefore, just like the development of alchemy, in terms of healing medicine, it is probably also a branch of magic specialization, using materials that are already rich in active energy to make finished products with supernatural effects.
"Anyway, you go and have a look, I'll browse around here and see if I can buy the recipe and those plant seeds and ...... like that."
Xia Ran pondered for a while, and felt that he should also consider the matter of self-production and self-sale now, anyway, it was not a difficult matter.
As if thinking of something, he looked up at Saber:
"By the way, it is estimated that with the action power of the lost, the ancient dragons should have been defeated by them a lot now, anyway, you can buy some dragon eggs, if not, see if there is any ancient dragon blood, and try to buy some related materials......"
After all, he is very good at the field of bionics, although it is related to magic rather than science.
But the human body can do it, and it is not impossible to try a different worldly version of Jurassic Park.
