Chapter 80: Promotion to Intermediate Craftsman
It's a pity that the item design drawings recorded in the Mojia Trick Technique Introductory Chapter are either too low in difficulty to work, or too difficult to be suitable for Ning Yi's proficiency.
When the proficiency level increased to 72, Ning Yi made 400 Type 4 bombs in a row, but he didn't see the skill proficiency continue to increase.
"Reached the limit?"
Ning Yi had to stop for a while, because it would only be a waste of time to continue, so it was better to think of some other way: "There are still 3 points of proficiency left, and it seems that I still have to go to the craftsman area after all." ”
The bustling streets are filled with people coming and going, and the shops on both sides are ringing with clanging sounds, which are players or NPCs, waving sweat.
The Artisan District of Yunlan City is the area with the largest number of players outside of the Trade Zone, and the NPCs here often release some order quests for players to complete, and the rewards are good.
It not only provides in-game currency, but also equipment, and even occasionally brushes out some rare design drawings, which attract many life players.
Ning Yi has never paid much attention to his craftsman deputy, so he didn't think about coming to the craftsman area to have a look, but now in order to be able to promote the deputy rank as soon as possible, he still came.
"Absolute Sword Cangchen!"
On the street, in front of a shop, someone suddenly waved at Ning Yi.
"Zhai Shou?"
Ning Yi recognized the identity of this person.
"Isn't that me?"
Zhai Shou was wearing a finely knitted linen coat, red and good-looking.
As soon as he saw this NPC, Ning Yi remembered that this person was not the unlucky guy who had been captive by the jackal demon as a reserve food.
But looking at his white and chubby appearance now, I'm afraid that his small life is quite moist.
When he met his benefactor, Zhai Shou was in a very good mood, and he stepped forward to pull Ning Yi to treat him, saying that he would do his best to be a landlord.
There is a restaurant in the craftsman area, and the two ordered five side dishes and four pots of wine, and they chatted like this.
"You've become a craftsman?"
After drinking a pot of wine, Zhai Shou's face was slightly drunk, but he could see that he was in high spirits.
Ning Yi didn't deny it, nodded and replied: "Yes, I'm stuck at the threshold of being promoted to an intermediate craftsman, so I want to try my luck here." ”
"Hey, want to advance? That's not a small challenge. ”
Zhai Shou drank another glass of wine, his mouth split to both sides, revealing two rows of flat big white teeth: "But you came here, it's really the right one, I don't dare to do anything else, but as long as it is related to craftsmen, there is really not much that I Zhai Shou doesn't know." ”
He said this a bit of braggart, but it was not all empty talk, because Zhai Shou himself was an intermediate craftsman, and he was still very senior.
"How far do you fall short of proficiency?"
"Stuck on 72 and not moving, what, do you have a way?"
"Then there must be, how can I say that I Zhai Shou is also a disciple of the Mo family, I dare to open a shop in Yunlan City if I don't have the ability?"
Zhai Shou patted his chest and motioned for Ning Yi to relax: "You put 10,000 hearts, and the matter of promotion will be wrapped up in me." ”
After drinking, Zhai Shou was a little drunk, and even used floating when he walked.
Fortunately, his mind was still quite clear, and he successfully led Ning Yi back to his ink workshop, and then rummaged through the cabinets for a long time before finally taking out a drawing and handing it to Ning Yi: "This is the design of the machine mouse, which should be able to meet your needs." ”
Trap Rat (Twilight Quality)
Can be used as a pet for the player, the Trap Rat has no combat capability, but can be used to find paths or trigger certain traps.
Required Level: None
Notes: It's unbelievable that a rat made of wood can actually move.
Although it is a twilight quality prop, it is not easy to make, and it really meets Ning Yi's current needs.
"By the way, as a craftsman, you have to have a set of tools in addition to a design drawing."
Zhai Shou looked around, and then whispered to Ning Yi: "I have a piece of gossip here that you may be interested in, a green-skinned dwarf from outside the territory has encountered a little trouble with us. If you can help him out, you might get a good payout. ”
"Green-skinned dwarf?"
System: You have triggered the hidden quest [Merchant from an Exotic Land], whether to accept it or not.
System: You have accepted the hidden quest [Merchant from an Outland], please get further quest hints from NPCs.
Zhai Shou's smile was very strange: "Yes, he has a long nose and pointed ears, and when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, it is a gold coin, although he is a little stingy, he does have a lot of new and interesting things in his hands." Anyway, you can find out when you go to see him. ”
Then, Zhai Shou mysteriously handed Ning Yi a small note with an address written on it: "Don't tell others that I told you ......"
It's getting more and more like an underground jointer, and Ning Yi is powerless to complain in his heart.
"...... 133 Poor Dog Lane"
Ning Yi read the contents of the note softly.
Just by listening to the name, he knew where this place was, and Ning Yi suddenly had a bad premonition: "Slum ......?"
There is usually only one type of merchant who lives in that kind of place - black market merchant.
And the people who can do business on the black market are not good men and women, and the things that can be called troublesome by such people are real troubles—troubles that will kill them.
"Looks like it's going to be interesting."
Ning Yi seemed to be able to smell the thick smell of blood, which must have been the smell of killing.
This task, Ning Yi was obviously provoked.
Zhai Shou raised his eyebrows proudly: "Look, I said you would be interested." ”
Bidding farewell to Zhai Shou, Ning Yi returned to the Wonder Workshop and began to learn drawings.
The Trap Rats are not easy to make, requiring 135 precision parts, all of which need to be made manually by Ning Yi.
It took one and a half hours for Ning Yi to cut out all the parts needed with a carving knife, and the dimensions were perfectly reproduced in strict accordance with the requirements on the drawings.
But this is only the first part, and the next step is to assemble it by hand.
Just like making a GUNPLA, Ning Yi had to assemble the parts one by one in a step-by-step manner, and the order must not be wrong, otherwise he would have to reinvent the wheel.
Ning Yi's spirit was highly concentrated, and after 30 minutes, a black-brown trap rat was finally completed.
Driven by gears, it can run up to 100 meters when fully wound.
However, it can't be used in too complicated places, similar to toy racing, and there are still some requirements for the venue.
But even so, the Trap Rat is definitely an extremely versatile consumable item.
Especially when exploring places like mazes and ruins, the player can use trap rats to find their way. If you encounter a trap, you can also use a trap rat to step on it.
In this way, players are able to avoid many unnecessary risks to a large extent and reduce their own losses.
System: If you successfully craft a trap rat, gain +1 Tinkerer Skill Proficiency.
"+1 if you make it successful? Looks like this drawing is pretty good. ”
Immediately, Ning Yi continued to make more trap rats, and these little guys could have made a few more and put them in their backpacks in case they needed them.
However, the second production did not immediately increase the skill proficiency, and Ning Yi was not discouraged, and continued to work.
After making 2 more trap rats, the Craftsman's skill proficiency has finally increased to 74, and he is one point away from being able to advance to the Intermediate Craftsman.
The third time, he created a full 9 trap rats before finally gaining the last 1 proficiency point, pushing the Tinkerer's skill proficiency to 75.
It's worth it!
Unless he succeeds in his advancement, Ning Yi's Craftsman skills will never be improved again.
It's time to try to get promoted to the deputy rank in a hurry, and after a long preparation, Ning Yi began to make his first Radiant Moon quality item.
He directly clicked on the Mojia Trick - Introductory Chapter, and on the fifth page, he chose the most suitable prop to try.
Proximity Mine (Radiant Moon quality)
Invisible mines are planted and are difficult to detect because they are buried underground, and enemies staying within the effective radius (5 meters) for more than 1.8 seconds will cause the mine to explode. The explosion deals 380 Shockwave damage within the blast radius and 25% damage to buildings.
A maximum of 8 mines can be placed within the radius of the Proximity Mine.
There is no upper limit to the duration of a mine, unless it explodes or is destroyed.
Cloaked units can also trigger mines.
Flying units do not trigger mines.
Required Level: 10
Notes: Oh my God, this is a humanitarian disaster.
A prop that can be applied to arrange deadly traps, 380 points of shock wave damage is very powerful, shock wave damage belongs to a branch of physical damage, characterized by the transmission of shock, can ignore 50% of the armor, directly damage the human internal organs.
And if you plant 8 mines in one place, when triggered, you can instantly create more than 3,000 points of physical damage!
Three thousand, that's three thousand!
Let's see, what does the physical damage of three thousand mean in an instant?
The boss of the Wolf Demon Valley, who is specially looking for the mountain splitter knife on death difficulty, what is his HP?
It's only 3200, it's only 3200!
This means that Ning Yi only needs to bury the sensor mine, and then lead the boss to the trap, and can directly stand next to him and wait for the knife to be mended.
It is worthy of the consumables of Huiyue quality, and the cost of a single induction mine is as high as 15 taels of silver, which is 45,000 yuan when converted into credits.
This can barely be regarded as a landmine, and the gold is ten thousand taels.
However, it is expensive, but the effect is obvious.
As long as the operation is done properly, some difficult copies can be easily tackled, and after deducting the cost, Ning Yi feels that the benefits are still very cost-effective.
Moreover, the Proximity Mine can be used as a killer tool for the Immortal Guild.
Ning Yi poured out a small pile of barrels of high gunpowder that had been prepared long ago, this thing would explode if it was not handled carefully.
If the only risk of failing to craft a Trap Mouse is the loss of materials, then when a Craftsman fails to craft explosives, it is not only the materials that are lost, but also the player's own life.
