Chapter 19: Cobb's Toolbox
Zode began to call Cobb with a soul contract, and Zode paid more and more attention to the goblin engineer.
Although this guy is useless in battle, he can create a lot of weird props, which can often play an unexpected role. To be honest, Cobb also has a lot of credit for this harvest. Zuo De didn't want to see the goblin being killed by other bugs as soon as he came out.
"Boss, I'm here!" A crack suddenly cracked in the rock not far away, and a periscope-like thing poked out, and he looked around very carefully, and then Cobb's voice was heard.
"......" Zuode has a new understanding of the survival ability of goblins, and it is estimated that if it is thrown to the bottom of purgatory, it will have a way to survive.
"How did you get in...... Forget it, it doesn't matter. Zuo De looked at the goblin that Shi Shiran crawled out of the rock and asked:
"What's the name of that thing you threw at me? Anything else? Give me a few more to spare. ”
"How many, don't be kidding!" shouted the Engineer with an exaggerated expression.
"That's the only one I've managed to find out of those worthless garbage cores with an elemental absorption talent. In addition, I spent a long time and painstakingly built the 'Super Energy Absorber B-100', by the way, my dear master, did you bring back the 'Super Energy Absorber B-100'? It's been so long, I should have absorbed enough energy, and I still have several devices that need it as power......" The chattering goblin suddenly saw Zuode's murderous eyes, and immediately swallowed the words that followed.
"What do you mean, do you just ask me to help you collect energy?" Zuo De said word for word.
"Hahaha, how is that possible, I was just joking just now! By the way, isn't it funny that goblins have a unique joke? Actually, I saw the crisis at that time, and I did my best for the boss...... Ahh
In the end, under the violent coercion of his boss, the goblin finally agreed to provide Zuode with a set of "Super Energy Absorber B-100" free of charge, and after "lifetime warranty", Zuode let the poor goblin goblin.
"Huh? I remember putting it here. Why didn't I find it? I didn't find it here, and I ...... here."
After the local spirit engineer took out a box-like prop from his arms, and then poured out a lot of strange parts and props from it, Zuode was not calm again.
"It's ...... Space props, dimensional pockets?" Zuode asked in surprise.
Space props such as dimensional bags are not uncommon in this high-magic world, and high-level intelligent creatures have the opportunity to have them.
However, space props like dimensional bags don't have Horcrux attributes, and it's impossible to carry them with them after being reincarnated as a worm. Crafting dimensional bags is not within the reach of beginner creatures. But he didn't expect that the goblins could actually create similar props in the worm stage, which made Zuo De marvel at the goblin technology again.
Think about yourself, a traverser who has the knowledge base of the two super races of demons and dragons, and still has to hold and even put things like soul cores in his mouth when he finds them...... Alas, what a misery.
"This ...... It's mine. Ignoring Cobb, who was looking for a spare super energy harvester, Zode picked up the dimensional box and put it on himself. The box is not large, and Zuode only needs to evolve a groove in the chest to put it steadily.
"Wait...... Boss, this is my personal belongings. You don't have the right to take it, you know, our contract doesn't have such a stipulation! This is the best item I've got here, 'Cobb's toolbox', we goblins can't survive without a toolbox!" shouted the goblin, unobtrusive.
“...... , 10 soul cores?" After thinking about it, Zode felt that he could no longer be rough with this seemingly useful guy.
"Uh?
"I mean, I'm trading 10 worm soul cores for this...... You can keep making anyway, can you?"
"Ah, the gears are on top, 10 worm cores, what's the use of those worm cores? My toolbox is made with very rare worm cores, and I use too many precious materials and parts. And the failure rate is still high......" the goblin chattered.
"12 ......" Zuo De said.
“...... , at least 30!" Cobb screamed.
"13, no more"
"29, this is still for the sake of your boss, the discount given. ”
“......”
“......”
After a period of fierce bargaining, in the end, Zode bought Cobb's dimensional box for 18 soul cores. It also means that Zode owes a debt of 18 soul cores - he doesn't have the items to stock up on soul cores.
Fortunately, there are too many rare worms gathered around here, even elite worms. The more powerful the worm, the greater the probability of generating a soul core. This meant that Zuode had to fight at a higher intensity.
For the next period of time, Zod began to hunt for high-level worms desperately, and his efficiency increased greatly due to the dimensional box he carried. However, when he sacrificed a large amount of prey to the Abyss Will, he sadly found that the success rate was less than half of what it used to be, and only one of the dozens of soul cores had been successfully purified.
This is revenge, this is revenge! Zuo De has the heart to die. Obviously, the culprit who destroyed the transformation of the dragon and demon was the arachnoid elf, how did he feel that the abyssal will vented all his anger on his head?
Zode also tried to have the goblin engineer sacrifice in his place, however, the goblin could not perceive the existence of the abyssal consciousness at all, and could not even complete the first step of the sacrifice. This made Zode completely dead, and the plan to become stronger by sacrificing sacrifices was completely dead. In addition to the necessary killing to obtain pure soul energy, Zuo De simply nested in the lair to study the knowledge he had gained, hoping to find another path to advancement.
