Two days in the blink of an eye.

The Dawn region was surprisingly calm, with no movement from all ethnic groups. In fact, the hearts of the high-ranking members of the four clans are clear that peace is an illusion. The battle of the Bloodlight Plains is inevitably going to reach its climax, and now it is the calm before the storm.

The Terrans are preparing for the battle array all the time, and 2,000 mercenaries have entered the Bloodlight Plain in 2 days, and this number is still growing rapidly.

Led by the two second-level regiments of Huangquan and Dragon Soul, they constantly organized mercenaries to challenge the secret realm, on the one hand, to enhance the strength of the main force, and on the other hand, to produce a large number of resources, all of which were used to cultivate worm nests.

The consumption of the hive is like a bottomless pit, but with the power of the clan to cultivate, the progress of the hive is very obvious, when devouring most of the magic ore transported from the camp, the strength of the hive has been greatly improved, especially in terms of sufficient cultivation.

Originally, the hive could only breed 100 units, but now it has been increased to 300 units, which is equal to 300 ordinary zergs, or 60 elite zergs. The strength of the insect has also been improved, and the strength of the elite insect has now left the bronze elite level and has reached the strength of the silver elite.

Although the ability of the hive has been improved several times, it is still far from reaching the level of breaking through the bottleneck, and the [Intermediate Hive] wants to upgrade to the [Advanced Hive], there is still a long way to go, and the room for improvement is very large.

According to Zhang Mu's preliminary prediction, the limit of intermediate insect nest cultivation is 1,000 Zerg units!

When the Terran resources were exhausted by the hive, they had to be forced to suspend and stop cultivating, because the hive basically consumes a lot every day, and if you don't reserve a little resource, the hive will slowly decrease, and Zuihou will return to a dormant state.

The hive capacity is not enough.

Resources need to be accessed in other ways.

Zhang Mu first thought of the black market, the opening hours of the black market are unstable, and it is very practical, and the risk of black market procurement is greater. In addition to the black market, there is only a mystery shop, and Zhang Mu writes "high-energy energy substances" on wishing cards.

Unlike the black market, the Mystery Shop only sells equipment, skill books, information, etc., and in principle, does not sell materials or semi-finished products. However, the Wishing Card relationship is not subject to the Mystery Shop rules.

Wishing cards have a huge flaw in that they can't buy one item in large quantities, and every time the academy buys equipment, skills, and materials, the mystery merchant will only bring one item.

So I can only hope that the things brought by the mysterious merchant are strong enough to make the hive even better.

Following.

Zhang Mu returned to the Shuguang camp and first repaired and maintained the weapons and equipment.

The Mystery Merchant can only be summoned at night, and it is still some time before it gets dark. The fat man and a few people ran to play again, and Zhang Mu took Du Rongrong and the girls to the tavern for a meal first, as he did when he came back in the past.

Zhang Mu took the opportunity to go to the tavern to visit the chef and give the D-grade ingredients to the chef to make magic food.

The chef did not disappoint, and it only took 2 hours to complete the cooking, and he made more than 30 D-class magical foods. D-class food is the top magic food in the Dawning region. Only a chef can bring out 100% of the value of D-grade ingredients.

Zhang Mu checked the food one by one.

This level of food, even if it is treated with an ordinary barbecue, although it loses 80% of its value, the taste is absolutely first-class. Chef makes D-grade food, which is a delicacy that is difficult to find in the world, and has a powerful attribute bonus, which can greatly improve the strength after eating, and has extremely high combat value.

"The effects of these foods vary, most of them increase the 4 basic attributes, and some can enhance life and magic. Your stats are good, it's just that the mana is too low, so it is recommended to consume magic-enhancing food before the battle! ”

The chef introduced his food with a big belly.

"Thank you." Zhang Mu was ready to pay for it, "How much is the processing fee, I will pay you together." ”

The chef shook his head: "No need, I understand the situation in the Dawn area, boy, cheer me on and kill a few foreigners!" ”

The processing fee of D-level ingredients is extremely high, and ordinary people find a chef, but the chef may not be able to do it, but now it is free for Zhang Mu, which can save a lot of expenses!

The chef had something to do, so he explained a few words and left.

Zhang Mu began to check the food one by one, as a ranger, no matter how strong he became, he would definitely not be able to compare to the elements in terms of magic. In particular, if you master a high-damage large-area skill [Earth Dragon Flame Break], or a high-level skill [Mind Spell Seal] for a legal professional, you will be able to drain the magic if you cast it a few times. If you carry a magic storage crystal, you can replenish it back in time to make up for the lack of mana, but the magic storage crystal is hard to find, even with Zhang Mu's status and identity, you can't prepare a large number of magic storage crystals.

[Flame Pig King's Delicate Meatball], D-class magic food, restores 50 mana per minute for 15 minutes, and max mana +500 for 60 minutes.

"It's a good thing!"

Zhang Mu looked at the meatballs carefully, the meatballs were only three ping-pong balls, still steaming, the color was fresh, very attractive, the surface was shrouded in a layer of magic halo, as long as it was taken out, a rich meat fragrance immediately spread in dozens of meters.

The [Meat of the Flame Pig King] that Zhang Mu took out weighed about a few catties, and the pork was so fast, and Zuihou made it into a meatball. It's not the chef cutting corners, it's cooking with magic and condensing the food.

This is not a period that any chef can do it, and it has to be close to a master's culinary skills.

The chef's cooking level is about to break through.

It won't be long before Chef becomes a true master chef!

Zhang Mu found a storage box, probably the size of a briefcase, which was specially used to hold food.

"It's so fragrant, it's so tempting...... You don't have to eat it to know that it must taste amazing. Du Rongrong had just eaten a table of delicious food, but she couldn't resist the temptation of meatballs, and drooled again, "Wood, why don't you discuss, I'll give 300 points, buy a meatball and go back to taste it, okay?" ”

Zhang Mu knocked directly on her head: "Don't make trouble, is this thing a snack?" There are only 3 of them here! ”

"You hit me on the head again!" Du Rongrong glared, pursed her lips and said, "Stingy, I'll ignore you!" ”

No one can resist the temptation of this kind of superb food.

Leng Yun also swallowed her saliva secretly, but she was not as unreliable as Du Rongrong, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, don't be angry with wood!" 300 points is enough to exchange for a good skill book, little meatball, where is the cost-effective? ”

Du Rongrong said pitifully: "I just want to eat!" ”

Lin Caiyan's beautiful eyes sparkled slightly, and she said: "What's the hurry, the wood will grow into a chef of the same grade as the chef!" At that time, you can eat as much as you want! ”

Du Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she said with bad intentions: "Well, that's right...... For the sake of the future, it seems that Miss Ben personally supervised the wood to practice cooking! ”

Zhang Mu couldn't help it, "You can save it!" ”

"No way!" Du Rongrong's eyes rolled slightly, "Then haode food tempted me, but I was not allowed to eat it, so I had to make up for it." Well...... I want 10 Bobo Bird Wings to take away! ”

Bobo Bird Grilled Wings is a FF-level magic food in the tavern, which is very popular because of its tender taste and low price.

Zhang Mu met Du Rongrong's request and spent more than 200 gold coins to buy ten roasted wings for her.

"Let's go!"

"Sister Yun, Sister Yan, wood, please eat one." Du Rongrong said with a big grin: "You're welcome! ”

Zhang Mu smiled bitterly and said: "This ghost spirit is really good at borrowing flowers to offer Buddha!" ”

The four of them walked out of the tavern talking and laughing, it was already completely dark, and the streets of the Shuguang camp were even more noisy and lively. Several scantily clad women were scratching their heads on the side of the road, attracting sideways glances from passers-by, probably rose mercenaries, running over to develop business.

The lights are bright, the shouting, the shouting, one after another, a small place, full of prosperity!

The night breeze is breezy and slightly cool, Zhang Mu walks on the street, holding fragrant roasted wings, eating while walking, the bird wings are very large, there are 1 catty, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, fragrant and delicious. Full of wine and food, blowing a cool breeze, accompanied by three daughters, warblers and swallows, it is really a great enjoyment.

Several people are full of greasy, and no one cares about the image, because now, the most worthless thing is the image. Civilization shijie collapsed, making people a lot less restrained, free, and straight to the heart. If there is no pressure to survive, Zhang Mu likes life a little bit now.

Night.

Zhang Mu summons a mysterious merchant in the side street.

The Mystery Shop doesn't look the same as usual, the big black truck is no longer as dilapidated as before, it seems to have been repaired and repainted to become jet black and shiny!

"It's ......"

Zhang Mu was a little surprised.

The mysterious merchant smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a little bit higher-grade, it's all thanks to you!" ”

It turns out that the Mystery Merchant has been upgraded!

"What you want, I've already brought."

The mysterious merchant reached into his sleeve and took out a fiery red stone, about the size of a fist, crystal clear and radiant, like a high-powered light bulb, illuminating the street.

[Level 4 Geocentric Flame Crystal], CC-grade crystal, a crystal bred in the depths of lava, although liliang is very strong, it is not easy to control, used in the process of forging or alchemy, it is easy to explode, and even threatens the life of the producer.

"Grade 4 hedrons? Great stuff! ”

"Because of the rules of the Dawn region, there is no way to bring in more advanced materials. This spar is a CC-grade material, which belongs to the 4th grade spar, and in terms of energy intensity, it is by no means weaker than some 5-grade materials. It is equivalent to hundreds of grade 3 spars, thousands or even level 2 spars, and tens of thousands of grade 1 spars! ”

Hedron energy is higher than normal ore!

Such a Grade 4 spar is at least equal to tens of thousands of Grade 1 Crystals, and the level of energy content is almost equal to 20,000 Grade 1 magic ores.

If the nest is absorbed.

You're sure to get a significant improvement!

"Good, how much?"

"It's not expensive, 30,000 gold coins!"
