Volume 1: The Returning Leader 6. Transactions
"Lord, upgrade complete!" Walker shouted excitedly down from the roof and dropped the final hammer.
"Ding! The base camp level has been detected to be upgraded to level 2, the newbie protection is over, and the spirit of the tribe is opened! The sudden voice swallowed Lin Cheng's enthusiastic celebration cheers.
"The spirit of the tribe? System......? Lin Cheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, finally there was an auxiliary system that could ask openly without having to be checked for identity.
"The base camp upgrade is complete, and the restrictions on defensive buildings have been lifted! Upgrade to unlock defensive buildings: arrow towers, city walls; Upgrade to unlock resource buildings: Holy Water Collector, Gold Ore; Level up to unlock army buildings: Bootcamp" Lin Cheng opened the shop panel, and he discovered a fact that made his little heart twitch - the number limit under the cannon was lifted!
What does it feel like to fire a cannon salvo in a row...... Lin Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then thought about the super killer weapons such as the "X-Repeater", "Lava Hell Tower" and "Skyhawk Artillery" in the later stage, Lin Cheng trembled all over.
Resources are a top priority!
After Lin Cheng harvested the resources again, he looked at the lower panel, "Gold: 1400/2500, Holy Water: 1200/2500"
"Upgrade the second-level training camp, build the arrow tower, and build another cannon, the arrow tower is close to the base camp, and the cannon is next to the gold mine!"
"Gold: 150/2500, Holy Water 200/2500"
"Tsk" Lin Cheng smashed his mouth unhappily, the sun is about to set, the resources collected by collectors and gold mines alone are far from enough to consume, and the "tribal farm" tactics in the early stage can't be played, after all, you never know which will come first tomorrow or accidents.
"It's up to the exploration team, it's best to find the goblins, there's no guilt at all when you grab them, and it may be tricky to encounter a human adventure team or something." Lin Cheng muttered to himself, his mind was full of how to grab resources, a living image of a robber.
"Pur !!" Anyway, the little yellow-haired people who were exploring the north ran back, each carrying a human on their shoulders. After seeing the respected leader, they directly lifted the human on their shoulders and performed a respectful "yellow-haired military salute".
"...... this?" Although Lin Cheng didn't understand what this group of little yellow hairs wanted to do, the magic wand in the hand of the little yellow hair at the end attracted Lin Cheng's attention. Lin Cheng took the staff, muttered words in his mouth, and gestured twice, but the imaginary brilliant magic did not appear, which made Lin Cheng couldn't help but be disappointed. "Lena, come here." Lin Cheng remembered the "Transformation Elf" at home, and he couldn't use it himself, so let's replace it with resources, hehe!
"Uh......h This is...... Which? Bandit! That's the Mentor's wand, return it quickly! Otherwise, Miss Ben will bake you to charcoal! Annie, who had fainted directly after being bumped all the way, woke up slowly, and suddenly became anxious when she saw the wand in Lin Cheng's hand.
"I'll go, I'm really a magician!" Lin Cheng was taken aback, the ghost knows how his little yellow hair carried back this group of mage ladies who are about equal to "nuclear bombs", and she didn't blow up the sky at this home that threw a few "flying clouds" or something? !
"Seal her mouth for me, not only her, but everyone who carried it back sealed my mouth!" Can you use your mind to cast spells and count me as admitting it, okay? Lin Cheng was also a little panicked, as a traverser, he was always afraid before he faced magic.
"Chief, what is this ......? On top of this is an azulite crystal core, a fifth-order water-attribute demonic beast crystal nucleus, with a purity of up to sixty percent! If you convert it into green source stones, it will be about two, and the gold or holy water will be 2000! ”
"It sounds so powerful, how can it be transformed into such a little ......" Lin Cheng twitched the corner of his eyes, should this level of resource acquisition be so difficult...... He remembered the millions of resources consumed when playing the game, and suddenly felt a little dark.
"I'm sorry Chief, that's ...... My conversion level is also tied to the level of the base camp......" Lena blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Forget it, I'll talk about this later, transform that spastar, and take advantage of these people to take advantage of their coma to rip off all their valuable things! Tie them up to a wooden rack and pile up firewood underneath! Lin handed the wand to Lina and gave a new order to the little yellow hair.
"Oooo It is the greatest honor of this group of little yellow hairs to be commanded by the leader, and they are more and more active in their work, as for Anne, who is the only one who has woken up, after seeing the mentor's wand being disintegrated into fluorescent shards, she does not recover from her breath, and faints again......
"Crackling" The flames on the woodstack burned brightly, and the crimson flames illuminated Lin Zheng's large cheeks, and also reflected the faces of everyone who was tied to the wooden frame red. "The head ......is so heavy" An old man on the wooden frame slowly woke up, and found that he was tied to the wooden frame and suddenly woke up completely, and his first reaction was to clench the wand in his hand, but his palm was empty, and his heart was even more anxious. This is, he found a young man at the campfire below, and he was eating extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but guess in his heart.
"Lululu?" Mainie asked tentatively. "Poof! Ahem, ahem! Lin Cheng didn't react for a moment and choked, then raised his head and stared at the old man in astonishment. What the hell, you think you're a barbarian old man, talking about people! ”
"Eh, you can speak human words?!" Mainey wondered, as if he had discovered a new world. "Little Yellow Hair, ignition!" Lin Cheng said angrily. "Oooo Little Yellow Fur is always a positive response.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Mannie was in a hurry, and he really met the legendary "wild man" who cannibalized people, but as long as he can communicate, there must be room for maneuver! "Do you have any last words......?" Lin Cheng wiped a handful of greasy mouths with his sleeves without any image, and after smashing it, he felt that it was still not good if there was no salt!
"Human flesh is not delicious! Let us go, I can give you beautiful clothes, high-quality Warcraft meat, and all kinds of seasonings, it's really a waste of ingredients to eat directly roasted like you......" McNie's voice was full of emotion, and Lin Cheng looked stupid with a sad expression.
However, Lin Cheng can be regarded as reacting, this old man classifies himself and the little yellow hairs as "savages", and wants to impress himself with food in exchange for their lives! "Heh......" Lin Cheng sneered, staring at the old man with a cold gaze.
"Gollum ......" Mnie swallowed with difficulty, feeling that he had gone from the Heavenly Spirit Gai to the soles of his feet, and he couldn't figure out for a moment whether the "son of the leader of the savages" could understand what he was talking about.
"The stone on your wood is beautiful, is there anything else?" Lin Cheng is also playful, since the old man treats him as a savage, he is also happy to play such a role, maybe he can use this identity to squeeze more resources!
"Yes, yes, yes! And much, much more! It's all in my ring, you put me down first, and I'll play with it! As soon as he heard the play, Mainey looked like a person on the verge of drowning had grasped a life-saving straw, and his head was like a chicken pecking rice, which looked extremely funny.
Stone? A wild man is a wild man, and he doesn't even know about the crystal nucleus! Mine's heart was full of disdain, those first- and second-order crystal nuclei were all rotten, and they couldn't sell a few gold coins, anyway, they all looked about the same, if they could exchange that pile of rags for our lives, it wouldn't be a loss, but it was a pity that the "Tide Heart", that was a rare water attribute wand with extremely high purity, and he spent a lot of contribution to get it from the academy.
"Well, is your father here? It's you...... Father? "When the little yellow hair untied him, Manny also wanted to try to talk to the real mastermind behind the scenes, to be able to kill the adult stage of the Wind Cluster Tiger at least a gold-level powerhouse can barely do it, not to mention killing two can chase down the small one, if you promise enough benefits to be able to pull this powerful force for your own use, then the pressure on the "Ocean Tide" Academy that happens every year will be reduced by half, and he who has contributed the most can even get the qualification to enter the "Magic Research Society" to study, Entering the Gold or even Platinum tier is not a dream!
"......" Lin Cheng ignored him, just stared at his ring, but he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, the old man was jealous of the forces behind him, but it was a pity that he was single, but it was good for him to be suspicious, the play still had to continue to act, and let the big fish fall in the long run! The old man wants to communicate with him, so why shouldn't he?
"Buzz!" I saw that with a touch of his fingers, the white light flashed, and a large cloth bag was lifted in his hand, and the crystal nuclei of the first and second orders fell down with a "bang", making Lin Cheng's eyes straight. Holy! Gold! Green Source Stone! Lin Cheng's breathing became uncontrollably rapid, and his face turned a little red.
"Hehehehe." Manny was immediately relieved when he saw Lin Cheng's appearance, yes, these useless crystal nuclei should be priceless for this child who has never seen the world, right? For some reason, Mannie suddenly felt a little distressed about the child in front of him, who had grown so big but was still mixed in the jungle with his father, and others had eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and this child might not even have tasted salt......
"Standing." After throwing down a sentence, Lin Cheng picked up the two crystal nuclei and walked towards the second-level base camp that had been upgraded from a thatched house to a small cabin. Makey breathed a sigh of relief, and surveyed his surroundings, bright torches lit up the surroundings, the surrounding buildings were scattered and varied, two craftsmen-like people were banging and banging, next to them were large bottles and cans that were pumping groundwater, and a trolley had suddenly slipped into the hole, but when it came out, it was full of gold coins.
Everything around him was stunned, he had never seen anything like it in his life, it was like ...... The rise of a new civilization! "Oooooooo Woohoo! Woohoo! A uniform sound of footsteps passed by, and more than twenty yellow-haired savages were running and patrolling with torches held high!
"It's too exaggerated...... "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, Mynie would not have believed that there would be a wild man who is no less organized and disciplined than a regular army!" He has increased his jealousy and desire for the power behind the scenes.
"Lord Chief, these two are both first-level crystal nuclei, worth 5 gold coins or 5 holy water...... "Lena stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, she actually wanted to say that Lord Chief, where did you pick up these rags...... "No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, turn!" Not enough to be out there! Lin Cheng waved his hand, and he was arrogant, but he was quite irritable in his heart, you are a bad old man, do you really treat me as a fool?
"It's broken......" Manney saw Lin Cheng come out with an angry face, his face was white, the little one didn't know the goods, but the old ones didn't know the goods! etc......"
"Little ones, tie him up for me! Put it on the grill and start a fire! "Pur !!"
"Wait a minute! I'm willing to exchange for something of real value! "However, the little yellow hairs ignored him, and dragged him to the wooden frame." I exchanged the Spirit Stones for !! Mannie shouted in desperation, and the lord in the gambling house must know the value of the treasure.
"Demon Spirit...... Stone? Is it good-looking? Will it glow? Lin Cheng continued to pretend to be crazy and stupid, his heart was already happy, the Demon Spirit Stone, listening to the name must be a good thing! He has finalized this bamboo bar!
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......!" Mynie was so angry that she coughed, and she was a sin! This little doll...... That magic spirit stone contains 100% pure magic power, and it also gathers 1% of heaven and earth aura! Whether it is used to create weapons, armor, or engraved into magic books, or absorbed for your own use, you can greatly improve your strength, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure, this kid actually used it to play!?
"Show your father, he'll understand!" After handing the Demon Spirit Stone to Xiao Huangmao, Manney still tied it up, but he didn't panic at all this time, the most precious item on his body had been handed over, the Demon Spirit Stone was given to him as a gift by an old friend of his for many years on his birthday, if this could not meet the needs of that adult, then he had to fight to break the net! It's just that I pity the students, but none of them have woken up yet.
"Chief, where did you get the spirit stone!?" Lena exclaimed, and Sakura's lips were so open that she could stuff an egg. "What about the tied ticket, appraise it, how much is it worth?" Looking at Lina's surprised cute appearance, Lin Cheng felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart. "Chief, I'm ...... It is not recommended that you convert it now, this magic spirit stone is too precious, I can only convert it into 500 green source stones now, and I will be in a coma for several days due to overload...... You can keep it and transform it when the level of the base camp is raised, I feel that the energy contained in it can be converted into at least 2000 green energy stones! ”
“2000?!” Lin Cheng didn't expect this palm-sized transparent stone to be so powerful, it seems that the old man is really bloody, and if he doesn't let people go, he may have to die. "Tsk" Lin Cheng tasted the sweetness, but he didn't like such a one-shot deal, as the saying goes, "it is better to give a fish than to give a fish", he thought for a while, and gradually had a bold idea.
"Tribal spirit, harm, just call you a little spirit! Xiaoling, can I observe the situation of the tribe through you? "Yes, you can watch the battle array elves or transform the elves' perspectives, or you can give orders directly to the army or construction workers through the spirits." "Well done!" Lin Cheng gave the almighty "Spirit of the Tribe" a thumbs up, and he already had a plan in mind. "Lena, wait and talk to Mannie, I may have to leave for a while, the tribe will be taken care of by you, don't worry, if there is anything, it will be transmitted through Xiaoling!" "Chief......" As soon as Lina heard that the leader was leaving, she immediately pursed her lips and looked aggrieved. Don't worry, I won't be going for too long, if I have something to contact through Xiaoling, I will rush back immediately! Lin Cheng rubbed Lena's head dotingly, to tell the truth, whether it is the royal sister type Mannie or the sister type Lina, he likes it!
"You can go, but my father wants me to come with you to gain knowledge, the world!" Lin Cheng casually took a small yellow-haired iron sword in his hand, looked at the old man who was still tied to the wooden frame, and said extremely seriously. The number of his army has exceeded 100 now, and he completely has the strength of a little yellow hair, so Lin Cheng is also confident enough to enter the human world!
Manney also smiled bitterly, sure enough, the gift sent out was still too expensive, that adult must have seen through his little Jiujiu, and sent this child to test him! I didn't expect to be tied up by the savage, not to mention the ticket, and handed over the most precious demon spirit stone, but this also got the opportunity to make friends with the gold or even platinum-level powerhouse hidden behind the scenes, and there was one more little savage in the team! This kid ...... Alas, take it back to the academy, and claim that it is your grandson......
"Yes, you can, but you can only follow me, and you are not allowed to run around!" Mainnie was so worried that the little savage wouldn't be able to communicate with his students, and he was going crazy and slashing everywhere, no matter which side he was hurting, he couldn't help him. "Also, don't eat people with us!" Mainnie scolded harshly, to the point! This is the top priority! "Oh......" Lin Cheng nodded copingly, and after glancing at the cabin, he lowered his head aggrievedly, looking extremely reluctant, I have to say, full marks for acting!
"Whew......" Manney felt that his beard was about to rise, looking at the reaction of this little savage, the feeling was really that he had met the cannibalistic "savage"!? I couldn't help but be shocked, angry and scared for a while, and I didn't know whether it was right or wrong to bring him, in order to get the support of the adult, I better take this little savage with me, anyway, lock him in the house and give him some fresh little toys enough for him to toss! For example...... Kong Ming lock! Honey secretly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Cheng looked at the old man with an unhappy expression, and the old man's face was full of embarrassment for a while. "Ahem, ahem! I'm glad to have you on board! My name is Minee, and I'll be your teacher from now on. Manney looked like he wanted to hug Lin Cheng happily, but unfortunately he was tied to the wooden frame, and the wooden frame "creaked".
"Mainnie, teacher?" Lin Cheng tilted his head, looking incomprehensible, this drama spirit had completely entered the role-playing state.
"Yes, yes, teacher!" Honey was stupidly happy, after so many years of being a teacher, it was the first time he had heard such an innocent, unblemished voice, and there was a feeling of teaching his babbling little grandson to learn to speak.
"Untie! Walk! Lin Cheng gave a brief order, and the little yellow hairs were still full of energy. Wait! It's so late, can't you spend the night here? There are a lot of beasts and monsters outside, dangerous! Mainey glanced at the dark night, and then at the students who were still sleeping like pigs, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, his students had done well enough today, and the purpose he wanted to temper the students had basically been achieved, although his horizons seemed to have been broadened by himself......
"Father said, here, die, or, go." Lin Zheng sharpened his sword directly on the stone next to him, and the piercing sound broke the silence of the night sky.
"Let's go! It's okay to ask a few little brothers to help carry people and set up a tent, right? Manny gestured to the tent, for fear that the little savage would not understand the key words, and he would not say anything else, and he could only stare at Johnny's body alone.
"Hmm. Leave! With a wave of Lin Cheng's hand, a few little yellow hairs carried everyone up again, waiting for the leader's new instructions. Leave, leave ......" Mainnie smiled bitterly and nodded repeatedly, smacking his tongue secretly, the action power of these yellow-haired savages is simply like those magic puppets, and they can make the order and prohibition to the extreme!
——————————————————————————————————————
"Calgotha, Bubu, and Linlin are gone?!" In a luxurious tent, a tall, mighty, bearded goblin sat on a high seat, and behind him were two female goblins gently shaking their fans. However, the goblin was clearly not in a very good mood.
"Patriarch, it's all the dereliction of duty of those goblin guards at the gate! If it weren't for their dereliction of duty, how could they let the playful three little ones run out! I don't even know when they went out!! On the ornate carpet, Lance respectfully knelt on one knee and said earnestly. I strongly recommend that the Patriarch dispose of those guards according to the rules of the clan! ”
"None of this is a priority, Lance, you are the elite of my clan, and I hope you can keep your mind clear in the midst of anxiety!" The patriarch stared at Lance and slowly straightened his back, "Now, I allow you to mobilize fifty warriors, thirty pitchers, and ten big fat members of my clan to form an exploration team, with you as the captain and Merck as the vice-captain to search for their whereabouts!" ”
"Yes!" Lance and Merck got down on one knee at the same time and put their heads down.
"Boo, my good Boo...... Patriarch, please allow the old man to go with you! Next to the goblin patriarch, an old goblin with a pale-faced, skinny beard that could be dragged to the ground took the initiative to ask.
"Lin Lin is also my heart! Patriarch, please allow me to go with me! On the goblin patriarch's left hand, a fat giant fat man who could fill an entire wide chair also offered to ask the elder for help. Their grandson has something, why aren't they in a hurry!?
"Both of you are the right-hand men of our clan, don't act rashly!" The goblin patriarch tried his best to persuade the two trump cards in the clan, "Patriarch Lao bothered, how far can those three little rabbit cubs run?" We won't be away from the tribe for long, and with the strength of me and Green Fat, we will be able to protect ourselves in this forest! The old goblin stroked his gray beard, and his eyes shone brightly.
"That'...... Please be careful! Don't be reckless when you encounter danger! The Goblin Patriarch sighed, and finally admonished the two of them. I'll come when I go, and please don't bother the patriarch so much! ”
“......”
Seeing everyone walk out of the tent, the goblin patriarch surprisingly did not pick a maid to sing every night, but withdrew everyone in the tent and slowly walked behind the screen. At this time, the red candle seemed to suddenly ignite black smoke, and the smoke gradually thickened, and after several swirls, it actually transformed into a human form!
"Raven Messenger, as you wish......" The Goblin Patriarch bent slightly over the man covered in black robes, except for a raven mask. The man known as the "Raven Bringer" waved his hand, took an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to the Goblin Chief.
The Goblin Patriarch couldn't wait to open the envelope, and after some careful study, a smile gradually bloomed on that face full of bearded stubble, yes, what is it to sacrifice three little children, what is it to sacrifice a domineering little elite plus two silver elders? As long as you can get on this thigh, stepping into the golden step is just around the corner!
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Crow!" The Goblin Patriarch smiled and held out his hand.
"Each takes what he needs, and cooperates happily ......" The "crow messenger" did not appreciate it, but once again turned into a black smoke and dissipated away......
——————————————————————————————————————
"Lord Chief, the second-level training camp is complete!" Lin Cheng's voice of joy came to Walker's head.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, let's go to sleep first!" Lin Cheng smiled happily, "Xiao Ling, take all the remaining holy water and train the archers!" ”
"Selected, Training Camp, Class, Archer, Training Start ......"
"Stinky boy! Don't giggle there! Why don't you come over and help! You want to sleep on the grass! The voice of Old Man Main's reprimand came from the front, and Lin Cheng hurriedly ran over.
"Congratulations, you have obtained Archer (Finesse)*1!" In the process of running, Xiao Ling's voice was mixed with the whining of the wind, so he didn't hear what he said too clearly, but Lin Cheng felt that his body was lighter, and his speed became a little faster, and he was overjoyed, and couldn't help but scream, "Roar!! ”
"Don't bark, little bunny! You really want to bring all the beasts around you, right!? Hurry up! ”
"It's coming, it's coming!"
