Chapter 31: Preparing for the Expedition

The precious Cheng dù left behind by the 'Ten Perfect Old Man' that can condense the remnants of the secret method of the 'Acquired Dao Body' that is comparable to the 'Innate Dao Body', even without Hu Zhuxiong's advice, can be imagined.

It's not that Zhao Dabao looks down on Ma Seventeen, but seriously, he was really surprised that Ma Seventeen could come up with such a code. But after taking a look at his brand-new trolley, Zhao Dabao instantly understood.

Ma XVII's exclusive cart (magic weapon): A space magic weapon made by the 'treasure refiner' of the 'Wandering Merchants' Guild using the special 'Sumeru stone' as the core ingredient and refining it with secret methods. With 200 cubic meters of storage space, it can accommodate things with vital signs. Movement Speed +30, exclusive equipment for the Wandering Merchant Ma XVII.

Sure enough, under Ma Seventeen's explanation, Zhao Dabao finally completely clarified the key to this. This 'Quick Trick' has indeed been circulating within the 'Wandering Merchants' Union, and is limited to the special group of 'Wandering Merchants'. The reason why the wandering merchant can move so fast with a mortal body is also thanks to this exercise.

According to Ma Seventeen, the reason why he handed over this exercise, which was originally limited to internal circulation, to Zhao Dabao was that after he reported the recent occurrence of his body to the elders of the trade union, the elders of the trade union made a compensation for Zhao Dabao to find a special 'Sumeru Stone' for Ma Seventeen free of charge.

Originally, Ma Qiqi was also worried that he had become a follower of Zhao Dabao and did something that the homeless merchant would not have done, whether he would be punished by the trade union, whether he would be removed from the trade union, and deprive him of his status as a wandering merchant. This is also the reason why he was so entangled when he decided to tell Zhao Dabao that he could solve the problem of insufficient storage space.

To his surprise, after he reported the original and detailed report to the elders of the trade union, the union not only did not punish him, but also praised him lavishly, giving him a great credit. Listening to the elder, it seems that the guild will want other wandering merchants to learn from him in the future. It's just learning his way of doing business, not learning him to become a follower of Inhuman.

Regardless of whether there is such a relationship as a follower, Zhao Dabao has indeed paid a lot to the wandering merchant Ma Seventeen. The previous ones were just that, but the value of a special grade 'Sumeru Stone' was too high. What's more, a high-grade 'Sumeru Stone' can't only be used to refine a special cart of this kind. There's enough left over for the 'Wandering Merchants' Guild to use for other purposes.

In this way, it is much more reasonable to give Zhao Dabao a certain amount of compensation. In addition to handing over the 'Sensitive Body Quick Technique' that was limited to the cultivation of the 'Wandering Merchant' to Zhao Dabao through Ma Seventeen as a little thank-you, the 'Wandering Merchant Union' also passed a message to Zhao Dabao through Ma Seventeen. I hope that after Zhao Dabao leaves the novice village, he can meet with their elders.

It was precisely because of such a requirement that Zhao Dabao had a suspicion about the whole thing. According to Ma XVII, a vagabond like him, according to the rules of the trade union, will definitely be punished heavily. But now? The 'Wandering Merchants' Guild not only did not punish him, but also praised him. This is not the end, it seems that every wandering merchant in the future will start to meddle in this kind of transit business of players.

None of this corresponded well to his memory.

As far back as he can remember, the player who had earned the allegiance of the Wandering Merchant didn't seem to have encountered the situation he was in now. Although there is no information about the 'Acquired Dao Body' in my memory, I don't know much about exercises such as the 'Sensitive Body Shortcut'. But one thing Zhao Dabao can be sure of is that in his memory, the 'Wandering Merchants' Guild has not undergone any changes, and the Wandering Traders have never interfered in the player's business, which is similar to the 'Second Dealer'.

There will be such a situation, and Zhao Dabao guesses that there will be several reasons like this. Either the player's ability to store space is not based on his current method, but there are other ways to solve it; Either that, the 'Wandering Merchants' Union' was only a conjecture, and for various reasons, it did not materialize in the end.

The former reason may still be possible, and the latter reason, Zhao Dabao does not believe so much. If the 'Wanderers' Union didn't want to make a change, they wouldn't have had to do what they are doing.

Perhaps there is another reason, because of someone's intervention, leading to some changes that should not have happened in the first place. Maybe that player also used his method to gain an increase in storage capacity. It's just that because of the lack of someone, he didn't receive any reward or punishment.

That 'someone' is naturally his cheap master Wang Dayong.

The special grade 'Sumeru Stone' was obtained from Wang Dayong. Even if he did something on it, with Zhao Dabao's current ability, it would be impossible to find out. As far as Zhao Dabao knows, there are still many ways to leave some information on raw materials like 'Sumeru Stone'.

Zhao Dabao knows very little about his 'cheap master'. It's not that he didn't ask, but he was rejected by the other party because the time was not right.

Wang Dayong's identity is definitely not as simple as what he learned from Hu Zhuxiong's mouth. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for 'alchemist' Xu Shangru to respect him like that. He couldn't just worship Wang Dayong as a teacher and get a full 1,000 points of prestige.

The prestige gained by apprenticeship is determined by the master's own identity, ability, etc. Like Wang Dayong, he can directly obtain 1,000 prestige points through guò apprenticeship, at least he must be a giant who can directly have a huge impact on the affairs of a prefecture.

Although there was some speculation about this, Zhao Dabao did not want to explore the mystery thoroughly. When the time comes, he will know everything he should know. He still trusts Wang Dayong very much, and he can be said to be the one he trusts the most in the game at present. Even Ma Seventeen, who signed a lifelong follow-up contract with him, is not as credible as Wang Dayong in Zhao Dabao's heart.

As I said before, the master-apprentice relationship in "Fantasy" is not such a simple relationship. This is a community of interests in the true sense of the word, and neither party will be allowed to do anything that would damage this relationship.

As a master, why is he so picky, it is precisely because of this reason. As the heir to the mantle of the master, how can he inherit his one qiē in the future and provide for him in his old age and send him to the end of his life?

Even those demonic giants who do all kinds of evil and do everything will be doubly careful when choosing apprentices. Once selected, the light yì will not be changed. Nor will they do anything harmful to the apprentice.

This is the strongest iron law in "Fantasy", and no one can break it.

This is the end of the matter for the time being. Next, Zhao Dabao discussed with Ma 17 on the harvest of this day and the subsequent operation.

Judging from the current player's ability, on average, everyone has to have 200 copper coins or their equivalent items in their hands more or less. It may seem like a small amount, but when multiplied by the huge base of players, it is a huge amount of money. Take Zhao Dabao's No. 6 village as an example, so far, there are 20,000 players gathered here. In other words, in the hands of the player in Village Six, there are at least 4 coins of gold. Zhao Dabao's business can't cover all players, but even if it only covers ten percent, it's a huge capital of 400 silver coins. The income that these 400 pieces of silver can bring to them is also 80 pieces of silver.

Again, this is based on the minimum standard. Coupled with some newly opened business opportunities, on this day, Zhao Dabao's business reported as much as 1 money and 300 silver.

The medicine that the player consumes the most, Zhao Dabao now has almost no capital. It's just a matter of consuming a little raw material. For new commodities such as 'fluorescent stone', each piece of Zhao Dabao has set a price of more than 10 times their original value. Coupled with the latest poison and antidote business, it is reasonable to be able to earn so much in one day.

However, in the next few days, it is unknown whether there will be such gains. For high-quality products like 'fluorescent stone', there is a limit to the needs of players. Not every player will want to go into the 'Fog Swamp' or the water, and at the end of the day, they've actually been almost filled with these items from time to time.

Fortunately, Zhao Dabao originally just planned to make a fortune. The next focus is still on red medicine, poison, and antidote. When You Yinniang is almost restored, she will have to add the big item of clothing.

These are all necessary for players to level up. In the novice village, Zhao Dabao is actually very satisfied with being able to do this. The rest of the things are more appropriate to wait until after entering the town.

Let Ma Seventeen clarify the focus of the next step in the No. 6 village, and Zhao Dabao will have nothing to tell too much. In terms of actual operation, the experience and ability of Ma Seventeen and Xu Shangru are not comparable to him.

Using the canon that recorded the 'Sensitive Body Quick Technique', Zhao Dabao first began a night of meditation practice with the goal of completing the cultivation of this exercise.

Agility: Level 1 (level 10), Attack Speed +1, Movement Speed +1. Cultivation Progress: 0/100.

Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to Ma Seventeen, Zhao Dabao took yesterday's harvest and went to Hu Zhuxiong's village chief's mansion in exchange for the reward he deserved.

The task of killing the 'Ten Kings' has finally come to an end. The last two king beasts of the No. 6 village also died under Zhao Dabao's hands.

Jungle Python King (Rare Special Boss): Level 19, 6800 health. The leader of the jungle python, a king-level fierce beast. The skin is tougher, ignoring the slashing of ordinary swords. The tremendous force when the tail is tied can be easily destroyed by even a one-person thick iron pillar. Moves slowly, accustomed to lurking and attacking suddenly. The abdomen is its weakness, and the eyes and seven inches are its key points. Skill: Poisonous Mist Spitting.

Toxic Mist Spit: Sprays a blast of poison mist that deals 3 toxin damage per second to the target, lasting 3 hours and having a cooldown of 10 minutes.

Vine Rabbit King (Rare Special Boss): Level 18, 6200 health, 400 mana. The leader of the vine rabbit, a king-level fierce beast. The cute appearance gives it a strong deceptive nature. The strong hind limbs not only allow it to easily jump over most obstacles, but also have the ability to kick through iron armor. The nose is its weakness, and the eyes and neck are its key points. Skill: Withered vine entanglement.

Withered Vine Entanglement: Consumes 30 Mana to release a withered vine from the target's feet that binds the target tightly and cannot move. Whether the withered vine entanglement takes effect depends on the spiritual consciousness and physical strength of both parties. Duration 5 seconds, cooldown 1 minute.

The Jungle Python and the Vine Rabbit are both monsters that live in a thorny jungle behind the Little Barren Mountain. The former is between 17 and 19 and the latter is between 16 and 18.

'Jungle Pythons' are actually not much different from ordinary pythons, except that their color is closer to camouflage, and it is more difficult to find in the thorny dense forest. The body is 3 meters long and the thickness of a human calf. If you are bitten by them, you will immediately enter a 'poisoned state' that loses 2 health per second for 3 hours. Compared with ordinary jungle pythons, the 'Jungle Python King' is only slightly longer and thicker, and has an additional 'Poisonous Mist Spitting' skill, and if it is bitten, the duration of the 'Poisoned State' will be as long as 4 hours.

Dealing with this kind of monster, as long as you are careful of their first sneak attack and don't get bitten, there won't be much of a problem. Even if it's the 'Jungle Python King', it's just a matter of paying more attention and not getting too close to it, so as not to be able to avoid the poisonous mist it spews.

For Zhao Dabao, who has a super high vision and perception, they will not have any impact on him at all.

As for the 'vine rabbits', they look like ordinary white rabbits in no way except for the reminder and color. The size of a sheep, like the 'jungle poison python', also wears a camouflage coat, which is used to confuse the enemy, and is good at sneak attacks. The belly coat tends to be grayish-white, with some patterns that resemble withered vines. If it weren't for the fact that they have the special talent of regenerating 3 health per second as long as they are bathed in the sun, this monster has nothing to praise at all, and I am completely sorry for their high level setting.

Compared with the ordinary 'Vine Rabbit', the 'Vine Rabbit King' is just one more control skill, and the effect of life recovery is only 2 points more.

To deal with them, Zhao Dabao didn't even need to be prepared. In the Novice Village, except for monsters with toxin damage like the 'Jungle Poison Python', as well as special terrain such as 'Small Barren Mountain' and 'Dense Fog Swamp', with the attributes of Zhao Dabao now, there will be no trouble at all. Even if he stood still and let these monsters in the Novice Village attack, if the number did not reach a certain level, he would not be beaten for a day. They no longer pose any challenge to Zhao Dabao.

To complete the task of killing the 'Ten Kings', because he had already advanced some of the rewards, in addition to the three treasure-level equipment obtained by killing the last three king beasts, such as the 'Bone Bracelet of the Stone Ape King', the 'Gem Necklace of the Jungle Poison Python King', and the 'Avatar Badge of the Vine Rabbit King', he only got 500 reputation points, a 'Talent Pill (Small)' that can increase talent points by 1, and a title that can increase damage against some specific monsters!

King Beast Terminator (1): Increases damage dealt to King Beasts with 'Boss Template' by 10%.

This title is a title that can continue to move up the ranks, somewhat similar to the title he previously earned as the 'Helpful Good Man'. But compared to the 'helpful and good man', the title of 'King Beast Terminator' will be more specific to Zhao Dabao's help. And its upgrade method is also clearer and more definite, killing ten king beasts and obtaining the title of level 1; Kill 100 heads to obtain a level 2 title, and the effect of the title will be increased by 10%; To obtain the Level 3 title, you need to kill 1,000 King Beasts, which can increase the damage by 30%, and so on. It is said that there is no upper limit to this title, but as of the end of Zhao Dabao's memory, he has not heard of anyone who has upgraded this title to level 4.

After delivering the task and receiving the reward, Zhao Dabao did not leave. He took this opportunity to inform Hu Zhuxiong that he had worshiped Wang Dayong as a teacher.

This matter is full of things that can't be hidden, if you don't want to leave any gaps between you and Hu Zhuxiong in the future, it is the best choice to take the initiative to inform him.

Hearing the news, Hu Zhuxiong's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Zhao Dabao. Hu Zhuxiong, who originally thought that he had never wanted her to sacrifice too much with Wang Dayong, after learning the news, he didn't say that he was like thunder, but he had to be a little angry.

What Zhao Dabao didn't expect was that Hu Zhuxiong didn't have any overly excited expressions after learning the news. After confirming that Zhao Dabao was Wang Dayong's official heir, his face showed a relieved look.

Not only did he not object to his contact with Wang Dayong as before, but he even hoisted it over and encouraged Zhao Dabao to have more contact with Wang Dayong. claimed that as long as Wang Dayong could be firmly grasped, it would not only be of great help to him, but also to them.

In this regard, Zhao Dabao was a little confused. The rhetoric he had prepared was suddenly useless. For Wang Dayong, Zhao Dabao has more and more doubts.

Hu Zhuxiong didn't mean to explain to Zhao Dabao in detail, but just said that he would always be clear in the future. Before Wang Dayong took the initiative to explain a qiē to him, no one would explain these inside stories to Zhao Dabao.

Zhao Dabao didn't force it, as long as it didn't affect his plan, there was no difference between knowing more and knowing less. Anyway, sooner or later, he will completely understand one of them. Now as long as you can be sure that Wang Dayong will not harm him, it will be fine.

Bidding farewell to Hu Zhuxiong, Zhao Dabao was ready to complete his last task.

Although there are such and such differences in the novice villages in "Fantasy", there is one thing, that is, all the novice villages are the same, that is, their out-of-village mission dungeons.

After making all the preparations and carefully checking his own state, Zhao Dabao, who was full of confidence, walked briskly and walked in the direction where the cottage was located.

Time waits for no one, and if you want to be able to stand at the top of the player all the time, you must always maintain his current superhuman state.
