Chapter Forty-Eight: Cooking Upgrades

There is a hill in the corner of the cave, and most of the ores have never been seen, so it is difficult to judge the rarity, so there is no way to distinguish the value. The ores here are all grade 2-4, there are several grade 5 materials, and the same is grade 4 ore, but the value of different types may vary by several times, or even more than ten times.

There aren't many things that three people can take, and they can't choose blindly.

"Wood, there's a magic storage crystal!"

Leng Yun let out an exclamation.

In the middle of the ore crystal, there was indeed a crystal clear and glowing blue storage crystal.

[Level 3 Demon Storage Crystal], a crystal containing pure magical energy, contains a total of 3452 mana points, no more than 300 points can be ingested at a time, and can be ingested once every 1 minute.

The storage crystals here have not been divided into standard divisions, and they are all prototype crystals mined from the mines, and each storage crystal is of a different size. Therefore, the magical energy contained in it is also different. The Demon Storage Crystal is a kind of consumable, a crystal formed by the condensation of pure magical energy in nature, and it is a pure magic crystal, which cannot be used to produce.

The dwarves do not have mages, and the warriors do not have a high demand for magic, so a large number of precious magic crystals are idle here, which are generally used to exchange materials with foreign races.

Du Rongrong also showed surprise on her face: "Let's take the Demon Storage Crystal, this thing is dozens of times more expensive than the ore of the same level, and there is no place to buy it if you have money!" ”

"Just pick a few big pieces, don't take more."

Among the many bad qualities, the dwarves are most disgusted by greed. Because of the greed of the alien race, the dwarves will suffer many disasters, and countless dwarven compatriots will die in hunting. Therefore, Zhang Mu could not be too greedy, so as not to displease the dwarves.

Zhang Mu picked 2 large crystals with a magic storage capacity of more than 6,000 points, and Du Rongrong and Leng Yun each picked 3 pieces, which also reached about 6,000 magic storage. The average price of these 8 Demon Storage Crystals is more than 15,000 gold coins, and both Demon Storage Crystals can be exchanged for an ordinary level 25 gold weapon.

"Just a little bit?"

Copperbeard was a little surprised.

Zhang Mu replied: "The Terran forging jishu is not developed enough, and even if the high-grade ore is brought back, it will not be of due value." ”

The Bronze Whisker Head is very satisfied with the Terrans, most of the alien races will be difficult to restrain their inner greed when facing Baoshan, and the Terrans are not greedy, which is a precious quality. It is also one of the important prerequisites for interacting with dwarves.

Zhang Mu also visited the collection room, the collection room stores 100,000 pieces of blades, more than 50,000 sets of armor, all stored in the collection room, at least silver quality boutique, in addition to more than 1,000 pieces of gold equipment, several pieces of dwarven town treasury treasures, is dark gold level!

Black iron equipment, bronze equipment, dwarves are very large in production, and they are used for sale, not stored in warehouses.

There are hundreds of thousands of dwarves in the mine, totaling more than 100,000 households, and each household will have a young man as a blacksmith.

The monthly output of black iron in the Nonoa gold pit reaches more than 500,000 pieces, which are often sold at a low single-digit price to foreign races or commercial institutions, or too lazy to go to the town and sell them directly to the store, the latter price will be lower. Bronze equipment is produced less but sold better, and the gold earned from it needs to be used to subsidize dwarven families to maintain mines, develop mines, maintain forging equipment, and update equipment to buy food to feed hundreds of thousands of people.

In fact, the dwarves guard the treasure mountain, and they have a natural talent for forging, so they can live a rich life.

It's just that dwarves don't like wealth, have paranoid personalities, have strong principles, no matter how poor they are, and never sell ores, and almost half of the forged equipment is self-destructed. It's a dwarven tradition, and the dwarves guarantee the best quality even for the lowest level of black iron, even though no one wants to overpay for it!

"More than 100,000 silver blades!"

"If this is sold, it will be worth at least tens of millions, let alone 50,000 sets of armor. The cash stored in the spaceship by the Ice King was worth no more than 10 million. ”

"There is no comparison between this, in the glory days of the Ice Demon Clan, there were only more than 100,000 people, and on the barren and desperate ice field, it was able to collect tens of millions of wealth, which was already very good."

Copperbeard took the humans on a tour of the reservoir and returned to the upper level of the Nonoa Gold Pit.

As soon as a few people stepped out of the elevator, an enticing smell of barbecue had spread throughout the Black Hammer tribe. The dwarves do not eat at home, and basically do not eat vegetarian food, so they all gather outside for collective barbecue, and every household takes raw meat, and eats it directly with the work of the fire well, without any cooking skills at all.

The Dwarves do not have a profession as cooks, so the food processors are extremely crude, and although they often hit some precious prey, they cannot handle them well and cannot perform a tenth of their value.

Although the food is basic.

However, dwarven beer and dwarven tobacco have a different flavor.

The beer of the dwarves is not the same as on the earth, it is fermented with magic plants, and some energy powder is added, and the drink made by zuihou is extremely cool and cold. As for the dwarven tobacco, on the contrary, it is extremely hot, and when you take a puff, it is like being thrown into a fire.

Enjoying cold beer and tobacco leaves together gives you the thrill of Ice and Fire!

Master Copperbeard said with a big grin: "You guys, go to my house and bring the meat of the three-headed demon bear you ate yesterday!" ”

Several large pieces of flesh with blood stains left on them were brought over.

When Zhang Mu saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked.

It's C-grade food!

The three-headed demon bear is a hegemon-level demonic beast, and it is a overlord-level demonic beast of about 40 levels, and the energy contained in its flesh and blood is extremely powerful, and human beings are generally less than level 30.

The meat is pinched with tongs and baked in a well.

"Wait!"

Zhang Mu hurriedly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Mu said: "C-grade ingredients are very precious, and it is convenient to roast them so straightforwardly, but it is also too wasteful. I happen to know a little bit about cooking, so I might as well take care of it. ”

Copperbeard was surprised: "You know magic cooking?" ”

The dwarves' eyes were focused, and Zhang Mu didn't know that it would cause such a big reaction. He didn't know it, because the dwarves didn't have magic chefs, and everything could only be grilled in primitive ways, which would cause the food to be depleted of energy, and the dwarves needed several times as much food to replenish their body supplies.

If there is a group of highly skilled cooking chefs to ensure food nutrition and energy to the greatest extent, the food needs of the dwarves will be reduced by at least several times, and the pressure of survival will naturally be greatly reduced!

Of course, Zhang Mu didn't know that magic cooking was sometimes very important to a race!

"What, can't you?"

"Absolutely!"

Copperbeard's eyes lit up, and the last time he ate magic food was from a caravan more than ten years ago. Magical food is an unattainable benefit to the dwarves, and many dwarves can only eat coarse and rotten food for the rest of their lives.

The dwarves got a dozen C-grade ingredients!

This level of food is extremely rare in the Terrans.

Zhang Mu left the ice field, it has been almost a month, because the ice field is difficult to hunt, Zhang Mu generally does not go out, stays in the ice field of the tavern, every day with reserve ingredients, practice cooking skills, the current cooking skills have reached a bottleneck, only one step away from entering the [expert level].

This is a precious opportunity, Zhang Mu may be able to break through the bottleneck with the help of the dwarves' high-grade ingredients, and officially step into the expert chef. After [Expert Level], that is the [Master Level] life professional, the number of people who can become masters in any field of life is extremely rare, and the chef whose whereabouts are unknown now is a culinary master, and the dwarf Copperbeard in front of him is a master forger.

Masters are hugely popular wherever they go.

Here we go.

Zhang Mu took out the magic pot he carried with him, controlled the magic pot to rise into the air, and directly put in the three-headed demon bear meat, and then put in various supplementary food ingredients, and began to launch the cooking technique Liliang, and began to stew the bear meat. C-grade meat is extremely high in energy, and professional-level chefs have limited control, so it is not easy to activate the full energy of C-grade food.

However, Zhang Mu felt that he had become a little different.

The spirit becomes extraordinarily delicate, penetrating the bear meat, gaining insight into its structure and injecting the magic with precision. This is the effect of the Emerald City's Sleeping Lake, and the effect will last for many days, making people's spirits extremely sensitive, and the use of magic liliang is also significantly enhanced.

Zhang Mu adjusted the heat and magic output little by little, patiently processing the food, and the tempting fragrance soon spread, and the dwarf couldn't help but drool when he smelled the fragrance. Zhang Mu felt that the bottleneck of cooking skills began to loosen, and one or two points of proficiency were the most difficult to improve, and at this moment, there was already a breakthrough trend.

"Open!"

Zhang Mu let out a low snort, the magic pot opened, brilliant flames gushed out, the meat pieces were carried into the air by the fire, and the golden soup evenly wrapped the bear meat.

"Close!"

Under Zhang Mu's urging, the meat absorbed the thick soup like a sponge, and finally fell back into the pot.

The moment when the production is completed.

Zhang Mu seemed to have an epiphany.

The proficiency of the professional cooking technique has increased a little, but it is not stable, Zhang Mu struck while the iron was hot, supplemented the magic with the magic storage crystal, and then made the second C-level food, making 7 servings in one go, and the cooking stabilized at the critical point.

Zhang Mu met the standards of advanced expert chefs, and immediately took out the scroll left by the chef to improve, a brilliant light rose to the sky, and countless more advanced magic cooking skills all poured into Zhang Mu's mind, Zhang Mu at this moment has advanced to the realm of expert chefs.

"Hint: Get the title [Expert Chef]!"

"Okay, breakthrough!"

Zhang Mu was overjoyed.

The title of Expert Chef is very effective, and can greatly improve the spirit, as well as the ability and speed of cooking. When Zhang Mu cooks food, he can greatly increase his efficiency by using the title of Life Occupation, and when he fights, he can use the title of [Lord of Dawn] to improve his attributes in an all-round way.

"Gourmet!"

"Magical Cooking!"

The dwarves rushed up, drooling and fighting for delicious magical food.

Zhang Mu's advanced expert chef can be like the chef at that time, with the ability to process dozens of meals at the same time, and complete it in a very short time, with the highest efficiency, which is unimaginable. Thousands of servings of magic food can be made per hour, provided there is plenty of mana.

Copper Whisker brought more than 100 magic storage crystals, so that Zhang Mu had no worries about magic.

Zhang Mugang advanced to an expert chef, and he still needed to consolidate, so naturally he did not disappoint the dwarves, and began to process food crazily, hundreds of thousands of foods were made, and the entire Nonoa Gold Mine went crazy.
