Chapter 15: Goblin Mortars
After trading with a red leaf, Luo Xiu logged into the game's official virtual trading center, hung up the Ice Arrow skill book, and marked the taming beast skill that was only exchanged for the hunter class, and then returned to the game and walked towards Abel's engineering tent, intending to learn the ordinary engineering major first.

As soon as he arrived at Able, Rosho heard Able arguing with other NPCs, arguing with a green-skinned goblin about something, blowing each other's beards and glaring at each other, as if they were going to fight directly at any moment.
There are many players in the vicinity, as the Greenskin Goblin has a Rare Merchant Emblem on its head and sells many rare engineering blueprints.
"Eugene, you vampire, just such a goblin mortar blueprint, you want me 200 gold coins, you want money and want to go crazy." Abel held an engineering wrench in his hand and pointed at the goblin named Eugene and yelled.
"Time is money, my friend, do you know how much risk I took to steal this blueprint, if the trade king finds out, my life will be in danger, think about it, this is a great opportunity to study goblin engineering!" Goblin Eugene had the face of a businessman, and a gold coin was upside down in his right hand.
Able is not very good at concealing his expression, and at first glance he knows that he is very excited, which makes Eugene enter the true nature of a businessman, and intends to knock him hard.
"Can it be cheaper? Two hundred gold coins is too expensive. Able helped his engineering goggles and sighed, he really wanted to study the goblin mortar so that he could raise his engineering level to the expert level.
The level of each profession is the same, from the beginning of the elementary, intermediate to advanced is just getting started, and the later expert, master and grandmaster level can just be said to have entered the vast and infinite realm of the profession, and the last great grandmaster, master level and god craftsman level beyond the limit of mortals, these people are all among the best people in the Divine Grace Continent, if you provoke them, even if you are a ninth-order powerhouse, you will be overwhelmed by the masters who want them to tailor equipment items.
"Dear Abel, then I will give you one less copper coin, only 199 gold, 99 silver and 99 copper." Goblin Eugene said with a painful face, for goblins who love gold coins and even surpass dragons, money is equal to life.
If you produce enough gold coins, even the blueprints of the goblin airship will be stolen by greedy goblins, which was originally a unique airship manufacturing race in the continent, and now almost every powerful country will make it, which makes the trade kings who started by airships hate itchy, but it can't prevent secrets from leaking, even if you hang a group of thieves and goblins, it is useless, and there will be goblins who come forward to stand up for money.
The trade kings were also goblins, and when the Terrans placed a huge amount of gold in front of them, they also succumbed.
Nowadays, the airship has become the most convenient means of transportation for the Terran country and major cities, after the research and transformation of the Terran engineering professional NPC, the goblin airship has goblung away from the spell of high accident rate, and the goblin is different from the airship made by the goblin in order to save materials, the Terran airship is majestic, and the combat airship is huge, which can be said to be a mobile sky fortress.
In the end, Able chose to compromise, and the price was no different from asking for their lives, and paid the full amount of 200 gold coins, and the price reduction of the copper coin was equal to no price reduction, and Abel did not bother to ask for it, and directly traded to Eugene with a bag full of gold coins.
Goblin Eugene squinted his eyes and counted the gold coins in the cloth bag, and after determining the number, he said with a face full of intoxication: "Thank you very much for your patronage, Goblin merchant Eugene is here to wish dear Abel that your engineering profession can break through to the expert level as soon as possible." ”
Looking at the goblin Eugene who was surrounded by players after the conversation, Luo Xiu didn't think about buying items, with the character of a goblin merchant, the price of this engineering drawing must be very expensive, even if it is a little money Luo Xiu will definitely not be able to afford it, he will not go to join in the fun, as for whether the goblin merchant has any tasks, Luo Xiu feels that there must be, but if the amount of money in the backpack is not enough, he will definitely not let the money-hungry goblins give tasks.
After Luo Xiu walked into the tent, he looked at Abel with an excited face and said, "Master Ebel, I want to study engineering. ”
"Oh, it's you, why did you complete the mission?" Abel put away the drawings and said, his face was a little displeased, if it wasn't for Luo Xiu, he would definitely be blasted out by him, and he still had to study goblin mortars, but he didn't have time to call adventurers.
"Except for the Elemental Core of the Ice Elemental Boss, all the other mission materials have been collected, but I want to practice the engineering major first, with the assistance of the engineering major, I can better complete the task you gave me." Luo Xiu's face did not change his face, and honestly explained the progress of the task.
"So fast? The speed at which your strength has increased has really far exceeded my expectations. After hearing this, Abel was surprised: "However, even if we know each other, the cost of this study is not less than a copper coin." ”
Able is now shy in his pockets, and originally wanted to give his favored adventurers a little discount with his authority, but now he is short of money and can only charge the full amount of study fees.
"Of course, here are 70 copper coins, and I want to learn the three junior engineering professional formulas." Luo Xiu directly chose to complete it in one go, which made Abel have a better impression of Luo Xiu.
"Ding! System Prompt: You learned how to formulate inferior gunpowder, inferior explosives, and inferior copper shells. ”
Inferior gunpowder is the basic material for making many explosives, the production is very simple, only one inferior stone can be made, it is the most basic formula that can be learned by elementary engineering, and inferior explosives are the lowest level of explosives made by using inferior gunpowder, which requires two copies of inferior gunpowder and a linen, and the success rate of making is very good, and after use, it can cause 10~15 points of fire damage to all enemies within a radius of 3 yards.
The remaining inferior copper shells are very widely used, from small firearms and bullets to the main structure of various firearms, all of which need to use inferior copper shells, of course, inferior copper shells are only the lowest level of engineering professional materials, and the items that can be made are limited, but you can learn advanced drawings, so you can use other materials to make shells of high-grade engineering items.
These three formulas are the most basic drawings of the engineering profession, except for linen, Luo Xiu has a lot of other materials, but among them, only inferior explosives are somewhat useful for Luo Xiu, and the other two formulas are just materials for making other engineering professional items.
Luo Xiu was not very satisfied, so he asked Able, "Master Able, do you have any other recipes here?" ”
"The only ones I can teach are these three recipes, but I also have other engineering drawings for sale, but the price is a bit expensive." The system stipulates the number of recipes that can be taught at the current engineering level, and Able can't help it, but the engineering drawings sold can be purchased as long as there is money, but you need to reach the engineering level before you can learn, even if you have the money to buy the blueprints of the goblin mortar, there is no advanced engineering professional level, and it is completely wishful thinking to make it.
Luo Xiu looked at the items sold by Abel, there were so many types of engineering recipe drawings in them, which were really a bit dazzling to him, but the shyness of his pocket made him choose the engineering drawings that could be made now and were very useful at this stage.
【Inferior copper-shelled bullets】
Required: Inferior gunpowder × 1, inferior copper shell × 1
Required: Engineering (Junior)
Effect: The musket attacks for 3-5 damage.
【Inferior musket】
Required: Copper ingots × 6, inferior copper shells × 3, firewood × 1
Required: Engineering (Junior)
Type: Firearm (Normal)
Attributes: Attack +12-15, Attack Speed: 1.85, Durability: 35/35.
Required Level: 5
【Wrench】
Required: Copper Bar ×5
Required: Engineering (Junior)
Type: One Hand Hammer (Normal Grade)
Attributes: Attack +4-8, Attack Speed: 2.40, Durability: 25/25.
Required Level: Engineering (Junior)
These three engineering drawings, for Luo Xiu at this stage, the role is maximized, you can fully use the inferior gunpowder and inferior copper shell formula, but the price is not cheap, and Luo Xiu asked for 5 silver coins, which left him with less than 2 silver coins, if he didn't have to learn the skills of the hunter profession, maybe Luo Xiu would only have copper coins left.
Inferior copper-shelled bullets can be made with one inferior gunpowder and inferior copper shell, and after successful production, ten to twenty bullets are given, and only one bullet will be obtained if it fails, which is not as cost-effective as making inferior explosives.
The drawings of inferior muskets made Luo Xiu think of an opportunity to make money, how to earn back the price of the drawings of 3 silver coins, but the drawings made by wrenches are not of great use at this stage, but many large engineering items need to be made with wrenches.
Luo Xiu thinks that the current wrench can also be equipped to fight monsters, and the damage that the wrench can cause in the early game is very considerable, but it looks very bad, if it is not only used by engineering majors, Luo Xiu may think that selling the wrench is also a good choice.
After learning the three bound drawings in his hand, Luo Xiu left Able's tent, first went to the bank to take out the professional materials he needed, and then walked towards the sub-professional association that occupied the entire southern block of Xueman Village.
The Sub-Professional Guild is a place where all players who have learned professional skills can go, selling all kinds of materials and selling bound recipe drawings, but the price is very expensive, and Luo Xiu went to the workshop managed by the Sub-Professional Association.
In the sub-professional association, Luo Xiu rented the cheapest workshop, in which all the tools were readily available, which could meet the basic needs of all professions, but the price was not cheap, and the cheapest workshop cost 10 copper coins an hour.
Luo Xiu rented it for three hours, so that he didn't have much money and even less, but compared to the outside, practicing professional skills here, tools don't need to be purchased, not to mention, no one will bother, and the advanced workshops even have a bonus to the success rate of production, but Luo Xiu only rents the cheapest workshop, which also allows him to save some tool money.
The Sub-Professional Guild in Xueman Village has a total of thirty workshops, of which there are twenty beginner workshops without any success rate bonus, seven intermediate workshops with a 3% success rate bonus, and the last three advanced workshops with a 5% success rate bonus.
