42. Attract wanderer NPCs
Little by little, the team moved towards Chaikan.
In just ten miles, they walked for more than three hours, and the sun was already setting in the west.
In the afterglow of the sunset, hundreds of pack horses entered the city, logs were piled up in the open space at the door of the blacksmith's shop, and branches were carried to the tents where the wolf cubs lived.
Although the city architecture of Chaikan is quite dilapidated, it also has the advantage that the town is large and there are large and small open spaces everywhere.
After a few days of striking iron, whenever he had free time, Zhang Qi would tending to the small nursery that he had opened behind the tavern, the nursery was not large, adding up to less than thirty square meters, and it was divided into several pieces of wood to grow the crops he found in the various town markets.
Pumpkin, garlic, peppers, carrots, cabbage.
Zhang Qi is most concerned about pumpkins, he knows what he wants to do in the outside world, pumpkins are a rare treasure, they can be used as both vegetables and food.
In Epicrothea, Zhang Qi also planted crops, but he planted them for a short time, and as soon as the pumpkins emerged, he chose to migrate.
So this time, he was sure that he would stay in the grassland for a long time, so as soon as he arrived, he planted it.
For farm work, he has no experience, and can only rely on time to accumulate little by little, but fortunately, the time spent riding and cutting the world is twenty-four times that of the outside world, which is enough for him to make countless trial and error.
The timber was transported to various places, and Zhang Qi watered the various crops in the nursery that had not yet sprouted before going to the blacksmith's shop.
Suojiaer didn't go out today, he has been striking iron in the arena, in the blacksmith shop, wrought iron, iron ingots have been piled up a lot, in a month, they have purchased at least 400 broad-leaf flying knives, which can smelt 800 units of wrought iron, 1,200 units of iron ingots.
This is the unscientific game world, how can a flying knife decompose so many things.
However, this kind of unscientificity, Zhang Qi likes it, what is harmful to him is called a bug, and what is beneficial to him is an important game feature, and it cannot be confused.
In addition to these, the iron ore purchased along the way, the blacksmith's hammer has also been refined and smelted, and now he has a full 2,000 units of wrought iron and more than 1,500 units of iron ingots in his hands.
All of these materials are forged into a new two-handed sword, capable of crafting five hundred!
According to the purchase price of 2,080, Zhang Qi already indirectly owns 1.4 million dinars, plus the balance, Zhang Qi can almost use 2 million.
Enough, enough of these dinars to take out this small warband he had in the world of riding and slashing.
Equipment, people, horses, you can do it!
Now in the outside world, they have also walked half of the Yuqu River, and there is still some distance to enter the sphere of influence of the Xiongnu Zuo Tuqi.
The replenishment of manpower will not only give Zhang Qi a sense of security, but most importantly, with power in his hands, he has the qualifications to communicate with the powerful.
Thinking of this, a flame ignited in Zhang Qi's eyes.
The Master Blacksmith is back online and has begun crafting gear.
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
The blacksmith shop beat a rhythmic hammer, and in the chaikan, on the fence of the arena, streamers slowly emerged.
The NPC soldiers who were sent to the arena by Zhang Qi were uniformly teleported out of the gladiatorial arena, and there was no command, these NPC soldiers were stunned and crowded in the stands, and the same was true for Suojiaer.
However, after he was teleported, he communicated with the person in charge of the arena to re-enter, but he was not allowed to do so, so he scratched his head and chose to return to the blacksmith shop.
Zhang Qi dropped a hammer, and Suojiaer pushed the door in.
Looking at him, Zhang Qi put down the hammer in his hand: "Full of physical strength?" ”
"Then you can build it, fight for it, and come up with more blueprints."
Hand the hammer to Suojiaer, Zhang Qi walked to the other side and began to refine charcoal, he didn't have blacksmith skills, Zhang Qi would naturally let what he had to build, although limited by the limitation of the physical strength gauge, Suojiaer could build up to eight at a time, but as long as there was an 'excellent' equipment entry, then a new two-handed sword of 2800 could be sold for a price of 4000.
Sogar didn't speak, or his logic didn't have the option to record such a reply, and after taking the hammer, Sogar began to build the equipment.
After a few bells, Zhang Qi's side hadn't entered the rhythm yet, and Suojiaer's side stopped eating directly.
"So fast?"
Zhang Qi glanced at Suojiaer in surprise, and the latter was silent, standing on the edge of the forging table.
"Not full of energy? So what are you doing here? ”
Zhang Qi was puzzled, it was so difficult that what changes had happened that he didn't know about?
Putting down the work in his hand, Zhang Qi walked out of the blacksmith shop.
It wasn't until he walked to the arena that Zhang Qi knew what was wrong.
"True Sword Competition! No wonder Sogar went back to strike iron, it turned out that he was driven out. ”
In the world of Riding and Slashing, if there are no players to join, NPC Wanderers will only be able to enter it on the last day of the True Sword Competition.
Obviously, Zhang Qi is the player.
Last time he played a game in Badania and earned more than 10,000 dinars, Zhang Qi was still a little excited when he saw that Chaikan had also started to hold it, there were more horses in the grassland, whether it was an Asaligh horse or a thoroughbred horse in the grassland, it was also a good horse that cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
Just as Zhang Qi wanted to go in and sign up, suddenly he seemed to think of something and turned to leave.
I still remember that in the game, every time I encounter a city with a real sword competition, there will be wanderer NPCs in the city tavern, that is...
Zhang Qi's eyes lit up.
He doesn't care anymore if it's anything or not, it's nothing more than a matter of a few two-handed swords, and he now finds that the biggest prize of the Arena True Sword Competition is not the reward after winning the championship, but the wanderer NPC!
Returning to the tavern, Zhang Qi called out to Hu Ling in the tent in the camp: "Don't take the cubs to the arena for the next few days, and in addition, once you find someone in the tavern, come to the blacksmith shop to inform me." ”
Hu Ling nodded puzzledly: "Got it, Wolf King." ”
"Well, let's get busy."
After instructing Hu Ling, Zhang Qi entered the tavern, the tavern was empty except for the tavern owner, the True Sword Competition had just been held, and it would take some time for those wanderers to get here.
After ordering a glass of wine, Zhang Qi sat on the edge of the bar and opened the cloth in his arms.
Recently, he has also been studying, learning those Chinese characters transcribed by Lu Mu, in the outside world, Zhang Qi has asked Lu Mu to guide him on the meaning of the words on the cloth, combined with the meaning of the words, he probably knows the Mandarin pronunciation of the Chinese characters in these official books.
The pinyin is all marked, and the rest is to memorize it slowly.
Zhang Qi is no stranger to this, but he also has nine years of compulsory education.
