Volume 2: The Shadow of the Wailing Cave (Remastered) Chapter 15: Shen Tianyi's Whereabouts (1)

2,000 gold coins for twenty kilograms of cold iron ore, this price is already very cheap, and it is definitely an internal price. When Yu Bin was stranded in Ratchet City, he asked the goblin who was responsible for purchasing ore for him, and the price of cold iron ore obtained through the smuggling channels of the goblins was basically between 25 and 30 gold coins per kilogram, and it was often priceless.

Yu Bin did not hesitate to pay 2000 gold coins, the gold coins rewarded by the original crusade mission have almost bottomed out, if it weren't for Yu Bin obtained a lot of low-level materials in the burial place and sold them to those necromancers in large quantities, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to take out these 2000 gold coins.

As for what Sinoer wants Yu Bin to do, it is not difficult. Because Yu Bin said that he had a friend in Orgrimmar, Sinor made up the idea and asked Yu Bin to kill the king of the velociraptors living in the barrenlands, a giant spotted velociraptor called Basil the Slayer, and Sinore wanted to make a leather cuirass from the skin of this velociraptor .

Yu Bin is no stranger to Basil, the king of velociraptors who is remembered by Sinol, and this velociraptor was also regarded as a thorn in the flesh by players in his previous life. He lives in a plain more than two hundred kilometers south of Ratchet City, this plain next to the backwater oasis is called the Velociraptor Plains by the goblins, the giant spotted velociraptor Basil leads his men to rule this territory, he is cunning and brutal by nature, he likes to torture prey, and has always been one of the most wanted targets of those goblins in Ratchet City.

This is so because the Backwater Oasis and the Velociraptor Plains have sealed off the land passage from Ratchet to the outside world, the former being occupied by the Magram Centaur tribe who migrated here more than a decade ago, and the Margram tribe, which is even more savage than the Kyrgyz Centaur tribe, not only raids everywhere, but also often attacks Ratchet City, causing great headaches for the goblins. As for the latter, it is said that the Slaughterer Basil has discovered a new food in recent years, so every few days there are often goblins who disappear for no apparent reason.

In the previous life, the players who used Ratchet City as a supply city did not know how many times they organized the encirclement and suppression of the slaughterer Basil, but in the face of hundreds, or even thousands, of velociraptors, no matter how powerful the players were, they could not survive the chaos of the galloping beasts, and the players finally had to change their ways, using piecemeal tactics to wear down the number of the velociraptor group little by little, and it took nearly a year before and after finally successfully killing this giant spotted velociraptor with a strength of up to 7 levels.

Sinor's request Yu Bin did not refuse, for the player, the slaughterer Basil is indeed a very tricky enemy, but for Canos, a hero-level orc, this is just an ordinary hunt, Yu Bin believes that relying on the remaining ten kilograms of cold iron ore in his hand, it must not be difficult to let Canos, a master blacksmith, make a cameo as a poacher.

After completing the transaction, Yu Bin first went back to Naxxramas. After this period of development, this undead village has gradually begun to gain popularity, nearly a hundred civilians according to their respective strengths to provide power for the development of the territory, the number of skeleton soldiers has exceeded two hundred, most of them are blue quality, occasionally a few green quality skeletons, it is obviously a defective product. However, the level of these skeleton soldiers is relatively low, and their forms are basically at the level of strong skeletons and skeleton soldiers, the only thing that makes Yu Bin more satisfied is that these skeleton soldiers have at least a weapon - a bone knife.

There are only two blacksmiths in the territory, and there is a lack of sufficient raw materials, due to the lack of military strength, the development of surrounding resources is still at the lowest stage, the harvested resources are mainly wood and stone, all kinds of ores because of the lack of suitable veins, can only be harvested sporadically, if you want to change this situation, you need Yu Bin to have enough vein exploration talents and strong military strength to ensure that the workers who mine ore will not be harassed or even eliminated by those wild creatures.

In this regard, Yu Bin is not very urgent, once his next plan is completed, he will be able to obtain a few blueprints for recruiting buildings, and higher-level soldiers will also join the ranks of Naxxramas, and then he will naturally have enough military strength to protect resource points. As for prospecting talents, if you are lucky, it is likely that the next civilian to be born is, if you are unlucky, Yu Bin doesn't mind renting one from those green-skinned dwarves, anyway, as long as there are gold coins, let alone prospecting, or digging your own ancestral graves, these greenskins will also happily rush to the first.

Yu Bin, who had taken care of the territory, took thirty strong skeletons through the teleportation array to a small town called Kemerovo in the Yurga Province of the Dia Empire, which is located on the border between the Dia Empire and the Sa-Anlote Empire, and ranks second in terms of area after the central province where the royal city of Diar is located. The province of Jurga was the most important timber producing area of the Dia Empire, and it was also one of the most complex provinces, full of uneven hills and large and small mountains, huge crevices and cliffs are the characteristics of this province, and a third of the entire province is home to a variety of natural plants and a large number of life species.

It may seem surprising that as the oldest and most powerful empire of the undead, there are so many life species on the land, and even many undead players will think that they have come to the territory of the elves when they see those lush forests.

In fact, the Dia Empire is not incapable of turning these areas into real places of death, the rulers of this ancient undead empire are just to turn this place into a pond for grabbing resources and a training ground for training recruits, and almost every year, countless large and small undead legions come here, training recruits through low-intensity warfare, while looting the savings that those who live here have accumulated with great difficulty.

Yu Bin is no exception, he is very short of money now, he has to prepare the start-up capital for Li Shouyi, and he has to accumulate enough materials for the recruitment buildings that will be built in the future, in addition, he also has to prepare enough supplies for Ailan and them, which all need gold coins!

And robbery is obviously one of the fastest ways to get money!

Thirty blue-quality sturdy skeletons led by Yu Bin rushed out of Kemerovo like hungry wolves towards a nearby hill, where a horde of bears had been destroyed by an army of undead for years, and some of the survivors had come and hid in the depths of the hills to recuperate. The reason why Yu Bin chose these bear monsters, on the one hand, is because their individual abilities are not outstanding, with an average strength of only about 2 levels, on the other hand, bear monsters are one of the few wild species that know how to make magic props, and some bear monster shamans can communicate the surrounding magic elements through shaman spells, condense them into some specific items, and create various talismans and props with different effects.

The undead don't like this kind of gadget at all, but among players, this kind of charm and item with low effect and limited number of uses has a good market demand, and they can't afford to use a better but more expensive magic scroll, so they have to replace it with this kind of thing.

The bear monster tribe with less than twenty people left was so powerless in the face of the ferocious Yu Bin and the thugs, and the bear monsters who had been frightened by the undead army could only barely resist Yu Bin's attack at first, and when he pierced the chest of the bear monster shaman with a sword, the remaining bear monsters naturally chose to escape.

This battle basically did not cause any loss to Bin, only two strong skeletons were broken legs, and the harvest was very good, this bear monster tribe only escaped less than five people, and the rest became Yu Bin's sword ghosts, because the bear monster is an orderly creature, this battle can naturally calculate the corresponding military merits, these military merits successfully evolved five strong skeletons into skeleton warriors. In addition, seven bear monster talismans and two small root carvings were also included in Yu Bin's pocket.

Similar battles continued over the next few days, and as Yu Bin's chosen targets were the survivors who had been attacked by the Undead Legion, the resistance was very weak. Although the corresponding military merits and gains are not much, but a dozen, or even dozens of such small tribes add up, and nearly a hundred small props such as bear monster talismans alone have been captured, as well as a large number of handicrafts and low-level equipment, as well as various raw materials and ores.

Among them, Yu Bin even found a small swamp fish-man tribe, these guys who are uglier than the offshore fish-people hide in the depths of a swamp, the simple shacks allow them to shelter from the wind and rain, the damp and muddy swamp not only provides sufficient food, but also allows these fish-people to obtain a not strong barrier.

Yu Bin's arrival destroyed all this, nearly 100 swamp fishmen were killed, and the rest were captured by him as slaves and sold to slave traders in a nearby small city.

This military operation, which lasted for nearly a week, provided Yu Bin with nearly 200 slaves, sold them to slave traders in exchange for more than 12,000 gold coins, nearly 300 pieces of various props seized, more than 50 handicrafts, more than 100 pieces of equipment, in addition to a lot of herbs, ores, leather, gems and alchemy materials, which can be said to be a bumper harvest.

And the price Yu Bin paid was nothing more than twelve strong skeletons, in exchange for a full 30 skeleton warriors and 20 skeleton hunters.

In fact, Yu Bin even wants to evolve these skeleton soldiers into skeleton giant shield soldiers and skeleton spearmen, both of which belong to the hidden form of skeletons, and must have enough quality and a lot of military merit to evolve successfully. In terms of quality, Yu Bin is completely satisfied, and the blue quality skeleton belongs to the superior quality no matter where it is placed, and the only thing that bothers Yu Bin is military merit.

Although these wild species are regarded as enemies of the undead, they cannot be compared with those real soldiers of the orderly camp in any way, so the military merits are naturally halved, and some are even only one-third of the standard military merits, which makes Yu Bin have to calculate every bit of military merit, and finally chose the evolution scheme of the skeleton warrior with the skeleton hunter.

What Yu Bin needs now is a sufficient number of elite troops, skeletons, as a 0-order class, the strength originally belongs to the bottom category, even the top form of blue quality is the same, the top sky can be similar to the 1st order class, in the face of those beasts in the Anglis Mountains, there are not enough numbers, Yu Bin does not believe that it can produce enough deterrence.

Sending these soldiers and various captured raw materials back to Naxxramas, Yu Bin selected a hundred more practical props and thirty pieces of equipment, plus a full five thousand gold coins, and delivered them to Li Shouyi through the merchant house opened by the goblins in the royal city of Diaar. The goblins regularly deliver a variety of goods to each of the storehouses in order to meet the needs of local commerce as much as possible, and this is perhaps the only "supermarket" on the continent of Entagre, which also serves as a logistics and post office, and through the goblin airship, these green-skinned dwarves will deliver Bin's belongings to the recipients in the shortest possible time. Provided, of course, that there are no accidents during shipping!

Just when Yu Bin was about to set off again and go to Yurga Province to continue his fortune, a phone call from Chen Tao made Yu Bin immediately put down everything.

"Shen Tianyi's whereabouts have been found! I've just finished class right now, and I'm rushing to you, so I'll talk about it in detail when I get there. Chen Tao simply said a few words on the phone and hung up, which made Yu Bin scratch his ears and cheeks for a while.

Fortunately, he has already honed enough calmness and composure. A few minutes later, Chen Tao, who had come all the way, pushed open the door, and his first sentence was: "Quick, go buy a plane ticket for tonight, Shen Tianyi is in Lancheng!" ”

Four hours later, Yu Bin and Chen Tao had already boarded the plane to Lancheng, Gansu Province in northwest China, and after Chen Tao's explanation, Yu Bin finally knew why Shen Tianyi would cross half of China from Changchun to Lancheng.

"At first, my old man thought that Shen Tianyi was still in Changchun, so he found a comrade-in-arms who worked in the Changchun police system and asked him to help find it, but after searching all the local household registration records, he couldn't find anyone who met the requirements.

Ailan took a sip of water, and after he told Yu Bin where Shen Tianyi was, the two of them were preparing clothes and buying air tickets, and they were so busy that they didn't have time to rest, and even dinner was solved at the airport.

"The Civil Affairs Bureau found a little information, the family that adopted Shen Tianyi seems to have moved away several years ago, the house was sold, and even the household registration was moved, it is said that they moved to Harbin City. The old man of my family went to a friend in Harbin City again, checked the local household registration and naturalization records, but did not find this family. In the end, my mother managed to find a relative of that family, and I asked, and I don't know why, they didn't go to Harbin City, but to Lancheng! ”

"Are you sure it's in Lancheng?" Yu Bin was afraid that this time it would be another trip for nothing.

Chen Tao nodded: "There will be no mistake, my old man personally went to Lancheng, and the naturalization record of the Civil Affairs Bureau clearly stated the time when the family moved in, which coincided with the time when they left Changchun." ”

Since Chen Tao said so, then there must be no problem. The thought of meeting the girl who had engraved him in his heart made Yu Bin so nervous that he almost couldn't sit still.
