Chapter Ninety-Seven: Raising the Ranks
But the design and construction of the blast furnace is more time-consuming and troublesome, it took a total of seven days for Mi Baoer to complete the design drawings, I have to say, she is really a genius in design, there are many aspects that she has learned by herself in the past few days.
After getting the blast furnace, the next thing is the design of the military factory, the military factory that moved over before was in the wide place of the cave, and there was no professional workshop.
During the construction, Lao Jiu once again acted as a porter, and for the excess stones, Lao Jiu directly loaded them into the ring and then transported them to the Xiaoyao Basin.
After Mi Baoer's cave design came to an end, he took Mi Baoer with him by the way and began to prepare for the construction of the Xiaoyao Basin. At the same time he was going to build a production line for white ash and cement, as well as for the production of glass products.
There is also an industry that Lao Jiu wants to develop, and that is ceramics! In the Xiaoyao River Basin, there is a large amount of clay, so Lao Jiu is ready to vigorously develop ceramics and build his own official kiln. In this way, there will be an extra income in the future.
For the supply of troops, Lao Jiu has a deep understanding, that is, how much money is not enough! This time, for the construction of the Xiaoyao Basin, Lao Jiu decided to adopt a modern concept, only build a walled city in the basin, and the rest of the places are mainly in modern style, which is also in line with the topography of the Xiaoyao Basin.
In the area near the middle of the Xiaoyao River, Lao Jiu planned a main city with a side length of ten kilometers. The peripheral areas are dominated by agriculture and industry, the upper reaches of the waters are dominated by agriculture, and the downstream is dominated by industry. Construction of different agricultural production bases, and commercial production plants.
At the same time, in the place where the dragon qi gathers, Lao Jiu also built a secret nest, which is used to hatch Kunpeng eggs, and if he can recognize the master, then Lao Jiu will have one more hole card.
"Brother Jiu, you have made such a big battle quietly, and there are millions of people, how much does it cost!" Mi Baoer has indeed been shocked by Lao Jiu's plan in the past few days, and after the two of them planned everything, she also asked with a sigh.
"Alas...... It's all forced! Lao Jiu couldn't help but sigh. If I were alone, I would be able to eat for a lifetime at present. But you're still there! ”
"Brother Jiu, Bao'er doesn't want you to be like this, and Bao'er is not used to this kind of life. As long as you accompany Bao'er safely, Bao'er will be satisfied. Mi Baoer hugged Lao Jiu's arm and said with some sadness.
"Fool! Since Brother Nine is doing all this, it's for you! In fact, the life I really yearn for is still idyllic! Nine brothers don't know how to be romantic, and they don't know how to feel sorry for their women, and they always spend their time in distress and guilt. Lao Jiu's interest was very low, he looked into the distance, and said a little confused.
"Brother Jiu, can't we live the life of ordinary people?" Mi Baoer leaned on Lao Jiu and said with some yearning.
"Huh...... I used to live the life of an ordinary person, but what was the result? Lao Jiu smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said, "We shouldn't dwell on these problems, let's think about what to do next." ”
"Don't worry, Brother Jiu, I will make the overall planning drawings of the Xiaoyao Basin before the year." Mi Baoer looked at Lao Jiu and said with a smile.
"Mm-hmm, this time is going to be hard for you again." Lao Jiu kissed her lightly on the forehead and said.
"Bao'er is already very happy to be able to do something for Brother Jiu. So what is Brother Jiu going to do next? Mibel asked.
"Of course I've upgraded during this time, taking advantage of the depths of the wilderness, there are still relatively few players at present, I want to try to improve my level as much as possible, so that it can be regarded as more self-protection strength." Lao Jiu looked into the distance and said.
"Then I also have to hurry up and work hard to complete the task assigned by Brother Jiu as soon as possible!" Mi Baoer said mischievously to Lao Jiu.
After accompanying Mi Baoer for a day, Lao Jiu finally started his own path of upgrading. Now that everything is basically ready, Lao Jiu has also begun to care about his level. And the forty thieves were also smoothly incorporated into their own banner by Lao Jiu, and are now upgrading in the territory of the demon ape.
Since Lao Jiu's military production line has not yet been officially completed, the current number of equipment is limited, and Lao Jiu has only given the forty thieves standard equipment, and as for their subordinates, they can only wait for later.
For this army of players, Lao Jiu is ready to train them into an assault force. And players are slow to level up, so they can only rely on monster farming. Unlike NPC armies, as long as you train on time, you can level up in time.
Lao Jiu currently has another task, which is to find out the terrain outside the Dragon Head Fortress and the distribution of demonic beasts while leveling up. For Lao Jiu, as long as he is careful, self-protection is still no problem. Of course, the premise is that you don't encounter super BOOS like Kunpeng.
Out of the dragon head fortress, there are still continuous mountains and mountains outside, Lao Jiu can only walk along the relatively wide river road, and the forty-level demonic beasts along the way can be said to be seen everywhere. It's a pity that Lao Jiu is already fifty-three, and if you want to level up, you still need to hunt and kill demonic beasts above level fifty.
Not long after Lao Jiu came out of the customs, he encountered a demonic beast that was preyding, a bit similar to a saber-toothed tiger, but it was huge, nearly three meters long, and its upper and lower jaws had a foot-long healthy tooth. The fiery red hair on his body rose with the wind, like a burning flame, which Lao Jiu called the flaming saber-toothed tiger.
For this kind of solitary demonic beast, Lao Jiu did not use a melee attack, and he directly used the Condor Bow, which was not only safe, but also very efficient. A Flame Sabertooth Tiger has 5% experience, which is why Lao Jiu doesn't kill level 50 or less Demonic Beasts.
Because of the Warcraft below level 50, for Lao Jiu, the experience is only 0.1% at most, which is time-consuming and laborious. Even if you encounter a group of forty-level demonic beasts, killing a hundred is only equivalent to the experience of two fifty-level demonic beasts.
Moreover, there are not many demonic beasts below level fifty that are active attackers, and most of the demonic beasts that live in groups are mainly meat-eating. Lao Jiu's targets are the Flame Sabertooth Tiger, as well as the Black Devil Giant Bear, the Red Brown Devil Pig, and the horned Red Panther.
The Black Devil Giant Bear is a black demon bear with a volume of more than three meters, with extremely great strength and shiny black fur. The Red Brown Devil Pig, like a mutated wild boar, has fangs more than a foot long and brown hair all over its body.
And the red leopard is a bit like the hideous described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It's just that there is only one tail, which feeds on other magical beasts, and is extremely aggressive. And these three kinds of demonic beasts, Lao Jiu had encountered them in the Xiaoyao Basin, and they were all demonic beasts above level fifty that acted alone.
Lao Jiu's main hunting targets this time were also these individual demonic beasts above level fifty. According to Lao Jiu's estimate, if he wanted to be promoted to level sixty, then a fifty-level demonic beast within a radius of several hundred kilometers would probably be enough for him to upgrade experience.
However, Lao Jiu is not in a hurry now, is there anyone robbing him of the monster at present, and he is alone, and he is also safe and fast to sneak attack with the Condor Bow. In this way, along the way, Lao Jiu was upgrading and drawing drawings of the surrounding terrain.
Fifth-order demonic beasts, that is, demonic beasts of level fifty to sixty, are still quite a lot in the wilderness, for Lao Jiu, one can be found in almost ten minutes, and some fifth-order demonic beasts live in groups.
Like the two-headed lion, the one-horned demon leopard, and the King Kong giant ape, these are not easy to mess with, because among them, there will occasionally be some mutated varieties. For example, the three golden lions, at least the sixth-order demonic beasts, as well as the two-horned demon leopard, the Titan giant ape.
Especially the Titan Giant Ape, the smaller ones are only at the sixth-order level, and the larger ones can reach the seventh-order demonic beasts, and Lao Jiu even suspects that there are eighth-order and ninth-order Titan Giant Apes, which is also the reason why Lao Jiu is unwilling to provoke the King Kong Giant Ape, not to mention that they are still family-based.
What Lao Jiu likes the most is the dark demon wolf, every time he encounters it, there are more than ten together, all of them are level 50 monsters, for Lao Jiu, it is simply an experience. Lao Jiu is not deep, just around the Longkou Fortress, and he can also be upgraded to a level in a day.
In a few days, the fifth-order demonic beasts around the Longkou Fortress were almost wiped out by Lao Jiu. However, there are still some sixth- and seventh-order demonic beasts, Lao Jiu marked all the places and did not alarm, these are all rations left for the future.
After a few days of hard work, Lao Jiu successfully rose to level fifty-eight, and among them, he also found a forbidden place. It was a barren grassland, full of raised mounds, and at first Lao Jiu thought it was something, until he broke one of them, and then he was surprised.
It turned out that there were all red ants three feet in size below, although each of them only had the strength of the third order. But looking at the tens of thousands, Lao Jiu's scalp was numb. What's even more terrifying is that their speed is almost comparable to that of a fourth-order demonic beast, as well as that terrifying digestive juice, a superb golden spear, which is gone in minutes.
In order not to cause an ant tide, Lao Jiu still chose to retreat. This place is only more than a hundred miles away from the Xiaoyao Basin, and it also has a certain threat to the development of the Xiaoyao Basin in the future.
When Lao Jiu figured out the terrain within a radius of 200 miles, he had already risen to level fifty-nine, and it was about to be the end of the year, and Lao Jiu decided to strive to raise his level to level sixty before the New Year, so that he could be regarded as a real master.
However, Lao Jiu still has a task, which is to find a more advanced mount, with the increase of the player's level, the combat power of NPC soldiers has increased, and the former horned demon horse has not matched the combat power of today's soldiers. That's why Lao Jiu urgently needs to find a new mount.
And this time, Lao Jiu's goal is that whether a natural grassland 200 miles away can be harvested depends on tomorrow. It's not early tonight, and Lao Jiu hasn't had a good rest for several days, so he plans to explore the grassland tomorrow after he has rested tonight.
