Chapter 31: Final Preparations
The sky was covered with heavy clouds, and you couldn't see your fingers.
In the absence of a clock, it is impossible to determine the current time period.
However, the day and night changes can be seen on the Kunyu map.
In the center of the octagonal pointing mark, there is a spherical day and night sign that changes all the time.
The circular symbol of the sun is slowly fading, revealing the moon symbol on the back.
In terms of Blue Star time, it should be three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Of course, the planet may not rotate at the same speed as the blue star, so it is not yet certain how many hours a day there are.
Based on previous experience, the extreme cold will gradually subside in the early hours of the morning.
So it was best to set off to the forest at that time.
Chen Ye poked his head out of the wildebeest fur and shouted to the side twice.
"Lin Zimo, Lu Ze, you two have a good night's rest, and tomorrow morning we will set off to save people from the forest ruins!"
Lin Zimo poked his head out of the gap in the fur, and his face was full of worry:
"In the battle just now, Lu Ze has not woken up yet because of excessive consumption of mental power, and it is likely to drag us back, and there will really be any danger when the time comes......"
If Lin Zimo hadn't made a timely move just now and dragged this kid into the fur next to him, he might have been frozen into a popsicle by now.
"Don't worry!"
Chen Ye sniffed and let out a puff of white mist.
"Before entering the ruins of the town, I will take you to kill one or two first-level source beasts to replenish the essence of life."
Previously, when he absorbed the essence of life, he found that this energy substance could heal the damage of the body, and also restore physical and mental strength.
This is definitely a high-quality treatment package for adventurers.
After saying these few words, Chen Ye's face froze.
He quickly retracted into the warm fur, opened the kunyu map, and began to plan his route.
As it stands, they can enter the area destroyed by the fire and take a shortcut into the forest.
Without the tall and dense cloud ironwood, the field of vision will become very wide, and even if you encounter danger, you will have a certain amount of reaction time.
In addition, the ruins of the town as a whole show a layout from west to east.
A wide avenue runs through the ruins, leading due west, the empty space that had been discovered earlier.
It is because of this avenue that the town has two entrances and exits, east and west, and the rest of the city walls are built.
Chen Ye naturally would not enter the ruins through these two "city gates".
If there really is some alien or alien beast inside, wouldn't it go up and send them to death?
He found an area with a lot of collapsed buildings, that is, on the south side of the town.
There are many ruins and architectural debris used as shelter, which is very advantageous for both infiltrating and retreating.
I heard Lu Ze relay before, saying that there was a temple in the middle of the town.
But Chen Ye studied for a long time, and only saw a patch of green vegetation.
Maybe the girl was too flustered and misremembered.
He didn't pay much attention to it, and instead put away the kunyu map and put his eyes into the storage space.
Previously, a triangular tent was found from the bodies of the trio who sent them to death.
If you spend a lot of time in the ruins this time, even to the extent of staying overnight, then this tent can come in handy.
It can also be strengthened as a temporary shelter, depending on the situation.
After determining the route, Chen Ye began to prepare the materials for going out, as well as the necessary equipment for entering the forest to explore.
He now had neither a suitable weapon nor armor for self-defense.
When encountering a first-level alien beast, you may be able to go up to fight hand-to-hand and suppress it with the level of source power.
But when you encounter a second-level monster, I'm afraid you're going to become the other party's plaything.
However, in terms of weapons, Chen Ye has already asked Liu Jianguo to do it.
As long as it can be done before tomorrow's departure, the whole plan will not be delayed.
As for the armor......
Chen Ye was a little troubled.
In the storage room next to the living room, there is a pile of improvised armor made of cloud iron wood bark.
But these things are not enough to see in front of the alien beasts, and it makes sense to use them as firewood.
If you're buying armor at a consignment center, you'll need to be prepared for heavy bleeding.
Because the cheapest handmade rattan armor also requires twenty units of stone, which is equivalent to three kilograms of alligator shark meat.
Previously, he exchanged 5 kilograms of crocodile shark meat for a handmade crossbow from Liu Jianguo.
This gives a direct indication of how expensive the armor is.
Not only that, but you may need to equip one weapon, but you will need to assemble a complete set of armor.
Helmets, cuirasses, arms, leggings, shoes......
A set costs at least 12 kilograms of alligator shark meat.
I have to say that being an equipment merchant is really profitable.
This is how important it is to master a craft in the last days.
Of course, Chen Ye had more advanced materials in his own hands.
The fur of the wildebeest and the scales of the alligator shark.
All you need to do is find a reliable equipment dealer to customize it and then pay the processing fee.
But that's easier said than done.
Chen Ye found more than a dozen merchants who sold armor and wanted to negotiate the cost of customizing a full set of equipment.
As a result, those profiteers all opened their mouths widely, and they were completely inappropriate.
The crocodile shark scale armor that can make a whole set of armor can only be made into a chest guard in their hands.
Cutting corners so much, do you want to keep it for your family to make shrouds?
Chen Ye didn't want to be the wronged leader, and after scolding the profiteers, he directly closed the private chat and looked for it again.
The hard work paid off, and after more than half an hour, Chen Ye finally saw a delicately shaped rattan armor.
However, the merchant does not sell it, and in the description of the item, only a promotional paragraph is written:
"Support a full set of customization, no bullying."
Tong Su is not bullied?
Looks like you've found the right person.
Chen Ye immediately sent a private message to the seller.
"I need to customize a few armor sets."
Not long after the message was sent, I received a reply.
[Cai Chun]: "No problem, you can order any size of rattan armor at our store!" ”
[Cai Chun]: "Other materials can also be provided, and I will customize the armor according to your needs." ”
Chen Ye originally thought that this guy would hesitate for a while, after all, a complete set of armor was not an easy task, let alone having to make it in one night.
Unexpectedly, this guy named Cai Chun directly agreed.
[Chen Ye]: "I have a lot of things to do, and I'm in a hurry. ”
[Chen Ye]: "The weather is so cold now, and because of the existence of cloud beasts, even making a fire is a problem, are you sure you can do it tonight?" ”
[Cai Chun]: "Don't worry, I built the shelter underground, and the temperature is not only not low, but also warm. ”
[Cai Chun]: "And there is also a natural crystal specially used for lighting, which will emit a blue cold light source, so you don't have to worry about the invasion of cloud beasts." ”
[Cai Chun]: "In addition, I have awakened the talent related to making equipment, so it is not difficult to make ordinary equipment armor. ”
Since this person is so confident, Chen Ye is not polite.
He glanced at the storage space, then pulled out some wildebeest and alligator shark scales and threw them into the item swap slot.
"I need two different types of armor, leather armor to keep warm on the inside, and scale armor to wear outside to defend against enemies."
"And you need three sets of each type of armor, can you make one over there?"
Even if the extreme cold weather clears, the ice outside will not melt for a while.
Temperatures will certainly not return to normal levels anytime soon, as is the case with high-risk disasters.
So wear a close-fitting inner armor made of fur to keep out the cold.
Then put on a layer of crocodile shark scale armor, under the double protection, it will be more reassuring to explore unknown areas.
In terms of weight, Chen Ye is not worried.
Because after the physique is enhanced, the weight of the body is also greatly increased, and it is not a problem to stack two sets of armor.
Cai Chun didn't expect Chen Ye's order to be so big, and he immediately came to his senses.
[Cai Chun]: "Since the leather armor needs to be tanned, even with the blessing of natural ability, it will take 3 days. ”
[Cai Chun]: "But the scale armor is very easy to handle, and I can quickly help you make a set." ”
3 days?
Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh with a sigh.
Time was still running out of the press.
If you can make leather armor, you don't have to worry about the low temperature outside.
If you really can't do it, just go to the consignment center and get a few sets.
[Chen Ye]: How long does it take to complete a set of scale armor?
[Cai Chun]: It needs to be determined according to the materials, but it should not exceed three hours.
Chen Ye calculated, and it was almost too late in time.
"Then make three sets of scale armor!"
"As long as the equipment you make can satisfy me, the price is not a problem."
[Cai Chun]: Boss Chen, please rest assured, I am a professional in this regard!
[Cai Chun]: It will be delivered tomorrow morning at the latest, as for the price.
[Cai Chun]: I'll tell you the truth, I've been eating wild fruits for several days, and my stomach is full of sour water, so I can't stand it!
Chen Ye couldn't help but smile: "I have crocodile shark meat here, it is very delicious to fry and stew, you can set a price." ”
Hearing this, Cai Chun seemed to be able to smell the aroma of meat in the air.
He swallowed his saliva and hurriedly responded:
"In view of our first cooperation, I will not charge a deposit this time, and after all the equipment and armor are delivered, you will pay me another five kilograms of crocodile shark meat."
"Do you think that's going to work?"
Chen Ye, who received the reply, looked a little surprised.
"Five kilograms?"
Although he provided the materials for making armor himself, Cai Chun only needed to charge labor fees.
But is five kilograms of crocodile shark meat too little?
It can't be a special deception material, right?
Chen Ye quickly removed the fur and scale armor from the item exchange bar.
When Cai Chun saw this scene, he was so frightened that he trembled.
It's hard to get an order, but you can't just fly.
Otherwise, he would have starved to death in the snow and ice.
[Cai Chun]: "If you have too much, the four kilograms are fine, and it will be treated as a discount for new customers." ”
Chen Ye glanced at the mountains of crocodile shark meat in the storage space, and sighed helplessly: "After the matter is completed, I will give you twenty kilograms of crocodile shark meat!" ”
"Two, twenty kilograms?"
Cai Chun was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to compare the numbers, and then responded excitedly: "Thank you, thank you Boss Chen, Boss Chen sings every night!" ”
For an adult man, five kilograms of alligator shark meat can last three or four days at most, and twenty kilograms is half a month's food.
And in Cai Chun's opinion, Chen Ye not only has such a precious material as crocodile shark scale armor, but also has such a generous shot.
After the scale armor is delivered tomorrow morning, he will ask Chen Ye for an order for leather armor.
Then for the next period of time, there is no need to worry about food.
"If we can cooperate for a long time, hehehehe......"
Cai Chun was so excited that he rolled on the ground at this time.
But if he knew that when Chen Ye entrusted Liu Jianguo to make weapons, he promised a hundred catties of crocodile shark meat, it was estimated that he would go crazy directly.
And Chen Ye, who was on the other side of the light curtain, didn't know Cai Chun's abacus.
He replied indifferently: "The sooner the better, the price is not a problem." ”
Price is really not an issue.
It's just that this guy must not have an accident.
