Chapter 240: Expensive Bird Eggs
The various professional associations in Sin'an County are concentrated on the same street, so Lin Yi can find almost any association he wants to find when he walks along this street.
After some searching, he finally found the Locksmiths Guild.
The locksmiths' guild building has a unique shape, like a giant lock, which is very recognizable and can be seen at a glance.
Each side of the "lock" is wide and heavy, as if it is supported by a solid earth.
Its faΓ§ade is made of a special material with a pale golden color, which reflects a dazzling color whenever the sun hits it.
Moreover, as the angle of sunlight changes, the color of the building also changes, from golden to dark red, from bright silver to deep purple, like a lock that changes color, brilliant and mysterious.
The structure of the building is delicate and intricate, and the details show a unique artistic beauty.
It is also inlaid with a rare gemstone called the "Night Ice Bead", which glows softly in the dark, adding a touch of mystery to the entire association.
At the very top of the building, there is also an observation deck with a great view over the entire city.
There was a long queue in front of the locksmith association, Lin Yi was a little surprised, he didn't expect this association to be so popular.
"It's not a combat association, how can there be so many people?"
After thinking about it, he understood the truth.
If you want to open the locked treasure chest, you can only find a locksmith, and no one else has a way, even if you are the most senior warrior, this is the industry monopoly!
"Please line up, because there are too many people who come to unlock the lock, and we are understaffed, so please understand."
A woman with a beautiful face was helping to maintain order at the door, and she was obviously tired from sweating profusely and having a dry mouth.
There is no way, who made her the lowest-level locksmith can only come out to do this hard work.
Lin Yi had no choice but to line up with him, he looked at the flow of people in line, and felt that he would definitely not be able to take his turn in a few hours, which was too time-consuming.
So he came up with the idea of calling out a puppet warrior and letting it line up in his place, so he could save time to do something else.
In this way, he can rest assured that he can go out boldly to fight monsters, and it is estimated that when he comes back, it will almost be his turn.
Later, the crowd in line was amazed to see a strange puppet warrior standing in the crowd and lined up.
"? It's a good idea to have puppet warriors line up! A lot of time can be saved. β
"Why can't I think of this? It's wonderful! β
"You can't help it, you're not a puppeteer, unless you spend a lot of money to buy a puppet warrior."
"Then forget it, the puppet warrior is expensive to die, and he can't afford to sell me."
"You can buy the lowest-level D-class puppet, only 100,000 yuan."
"D-class puppets are too stupid to execute this kind of order at all, they can only make simple moves, and if they buy it, they will buy it for nothing."
"By the way, what level is this puppet warrior, it looks very smart."
"Let me, as a C-level puppeteer, tell you, this puppet warrior is at least A-level! Because it is full of spirituality, it is definitely not an ordinary puppet warrior. β
"This brother, how much does this puppet cost? I want to buy one. β
"Not much, not more, more than 10 million."
ββ¦β¦β
The girl who maintained order saw Lin Yi's puppet warrior standing in the crowd, and her eyes showed a look of surprise, who would have thought that someone would let the puppet warrior "line up".
Generally speaking, aren't they all taken out of the city to fight monsters? What a waste!
She was scolded, and at the same time, she was a little curious, which puppeteer had left her precious puppet warrior here?
On the other side, Lin Yi had already walked out of Xin'an County and continued to explore other S-class areas.
He wanted to move up the ranks as soon as possible. Now he doesn't bother to fight monsters below the S rank, because the experience points are too low.
Fighting 10,000 A-class monsters, I'm afraid you can only increase the experience bar by one percent, which is really a waste of time and energy.
In fact, to be honest, he can't look down on S-class monsters now, and he hopes to fight more advanced monsters to level up faster.
However, the highest-level monster around Sin'an-gun is the S-class, and if he wants to fight the SS-class monster, he must go to a big city like the imperial capital.
"Well, I'll leave for the patrol captain to give me news."
Lin Yi thought as he walked: "The Heavenly Prison is in the imperial capital, just so I can go and see Huang Qing, and by the way, fight monsters and upgrade, killing two birds with one stone." β
At this time, he had already come to an S-class area, and the landscape of this area was a large stone forest.
The huge stone pillars that are 100 meters high and cannot be held by the three of them towers in the sky, and the formation time of these stone pillars is definitely not short, Lin Yi feels that it may be thousands of years old.
At the top of the stone pillar, there are many huge bird nests, and one by one strange-looking giant birds fall on them, making "yaa" sounds from time to time.
The "Iron Feather Bird", which is the name of those giant birds, is a mysterious bird-like creature with feathers as hard as steel.
It is huge, up to two meters long when its wings are spread, and it has a sharp eye that seems to be able to spot any hidden prey.
The feathers of the Iron Feather Bird are as hard as steel, and these natural feathers shimmer in the cold blue light of the sun, as sharp as a sharp sword. Its wings are so powerful that it can easily allow it to fly extremely fast in the air.
The two claws resembling iron pincers are also terrifying, and can easily pick up and tear prey.
The monster's feathers are not only hard and durable, but they also have magical abilities.
When it vibrates its wings, it creates a powerful gust of wind that blows enemies around it to the ground.
At the same time, you can also use your feathers as arrows and shoot them!
It has the effect of injuring and paralyzing the target, making it very difficult.
In the description, this Iron Feather Bird is a very difficult monster to deal with, and its attack and defense are very strong.
Moreover, its line of sight is very far away, as long as someone approaches, it will be detected, and it is impossible to sneak attack.
After reading the introduction of the Iron Feather Bird, Lin Yi was a little embarrassed, because this monster has the ability to fly, which is not easy to fight for puppet warriors who can't fly.
"I only have one ranged puppet warrior, so if I attract too many Iron Feather Birds, I'll be in trouble."
Lin Yi thought to himself: "After all, the Iron Feather Bird has air supremacy, and I don't, so I can only be beaten passively, and I can't eat this loss." β
So, he planned to change places to continue fighting monsters, but at this moment, a team ran out of it, attracting a large flock of iron feather birds overhead.
"Help!"
When the leader saw Lin Yi, he immediately called for help from him, while several companions behind him were directly captured by the iron feather bird that swooped down from the sky.
Seeing that this guy was about to be captured by the monsters in the sky, Lin Yi immediately commanded the puppet warriors with bows and arrows to save people.
I saw that the puppet warrior bent his bow and arrows, and the elemental magic arrow flew out with a whoosh, shooting directly through the monster in the sky and saving the man's life.
However, the monster did not die, because its blood was very thick and its defense was also very high, and it kept fluttering and struggling on the ground, and Lin Yi's puppet warriors swarmed up and hacked it to death.
"Thank you, big brother, for saving your life!" The rescued man was grateful to Lin Yi, he was much older than Lin Yi, but he called Lin Yi big brother, which made Lin Yi feel weird.
But it's understandable that if someone can save your life, not to mention the eldest brother, even the grandfather will also call.
"What the hell is going on?"
Lin Yi saw his embarrassed appearance, with only one-third of the blood bar on the top of his head left, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Alas, it's all because we're too greedy!"
This person told Lin Yi his story while replenishing his blood.
The man's name was Wang Qinghua, and he was a member of an expedition.
Their expeditions often went out searching for valuable items and then brought them back to the shops to sell for money.
Once, they found that the eggs of the Iron Feather Bird were very sought-after, so they planned to go to the Stone Forest to steal the eggs.
Who knows, the strength of the Iron Feather Bird is far beyond their imagination, plus they only have one mage, and their anti-air ability is seriously insufficient, so they were soon besieged by hundreds of Iron Feather Birds, and suffered heavy casualties.
In desperation, they had no choice but to flee, but their legs could not outrun the wings of the Iron Feather Bird, and they were soon overtaken.
The Iron Feather Bird hated the thieves who stole their eggs, and showed no mercy, so the number of casualties increased further, and at last, only seven or eight men remained.
If Lin Yi hadn't rescued him in time, Wang Qinghua would probably have died here.
"Eggs of the Iron Feather Bird?"
Lin Yi was curious: "What's the use of this thing?" Is it OK to eat? β
"Ahh The Iron Feather Bird's eggs hatch into small birds, you can make a contract with it, and it becomes your pet! Wang Qinghua hurriedly shook his head: "Now, many people want a pet like this, which can not only be kept for fun, but also help in fighting, the best of both worlds." β
"Especially girls, that's really one for each person, and it's because of this that the eggs of the Iron Feather Bird will be fried to the sky, and now one costs a million yuan!"
Lin Yi was a little surprised: "So expensive? No wonder you dare to play for your life! β
Wang Qinghua smiled: "No way, we also want to live a good life." β
"Big brother, you saved my life, and this egg will be given to you!"
Wang Qinghua is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and gave his eggs to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi carefully looked at the egg of the Iron Feather Bird, it looked a little bigger than the ostrich egg, and the shell was cyan, which was the same color as the feathers of the Iron Feather Bird.
If you look at the sun, you can see a small thing wriggling in the eggshell, which should be a hatchling that has not yet fully developed.
"Can this thing be crafted?"
Lin Yi suddenly had a whim, he thought: "I now have a strong ground force, if I have a strong air force, wouldn't it be invincible?" β
Puppet warriors are very strong, but once they encounter an enemy in the sky, they are helpless and can only be beaten passively.
But if there is an Iron Feather Bird, Lin Yi will no longer have shortcomings!
"Good! Then start collecting eggs! Then they will be synthesized into high-level bird eggs, hatched and signed a contract, and I will have a powerful air force! β
The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more excited he became, but he didn't act immediately, but thought about how to deal with these Iron Feather Birds, after all, he didn't have enough strength to deal with these monsters in the air.
Wang Qinghua saw that Lin Yi was interested in bird eggs, so he proposed: "Big brother, can I tell you how we steal bird eggs?" Do you want to know? β
"Oh? Let's hear it. β
Wang Qinghua said: "We will first send a few people to attract the attention of the Iron Feather Bird, and then we will start stealing the eggs while the Iron Feather Bird is chasing them." β
"This is a way to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Iron Feather Birds, but these strange birds are very alert, and in no more than 10 minutes, they will definitely run back to check their nests."
Lin Yi nodded: "So, it's only ten minutes." β
"Yes, as long as you get the timing right, you can steal the eggs." Wang Qinghua said: "Big brother, you have so many puppet warriors, and you are so powerful, you must be able to do it!" β
Lin Yi had already thought of a way in his heart, and he smiled at Wang Qinghua: "Thank you for telling me this way, you can take this bird egg back, I will figure it out myself." β
Lin Yi can't look down on a million dollars, but now that he has learned Wang Qinghua's method, he can get more bird eggs.
Wang Qinghua excused himself, and finally took the bird egg back, after all, it was one million, and he was not as rich as Lin Yi.
Watching Wang Qinghua walk away, Lin Yi also started his own plan.
He first sent two puppet warriors to attack a stone pillar to attract the attention of the surrounding iron-feathered birds, and then sent his own puppet warriors to climb the tall stone pillars while the strange birds flew away.
"Ten minutes is a bit short, but my puppet warriors are still no problem if they move faster."
Lin Yi looked at his puppet warrior and thought to himself.
After all, they are not afraid of heights like humans, and they will not be disturbed by the outside world, and it is easy to climb a stone pillar.
After everything was arranged, Lin Yi gave an order, and all the puppet warriors took action.
Two puppet warriors ran to the foot of a huge stone pillar and frantically attacked the base of the pillar with their weapons.
I have to say that these stone pillars are indeed very strong, and the attack of the S-class puppet warriors can't even break it.
However, the Iron Feather Bird that lived on it could not stand it, and it swooped down from the sky with a strange scream, trying to kill the invaders who attacked its home.
The two puppet warriors had already prepared, and when they saw it flying down, they immediately swung their weapons and attacked.
Instead of hurting the puppet warrior, the Iron Feather Bird took a hit, its health was greatly reduced, and it flew into the sky in horror, knowing that it was not an opponent, and immediately let out a chirp and asked for help from its companions.
Soon, the surrounding Iron Feather Birds heard the sound and immediately rushed over, and there were hundreds of them in the sky!
Seeing that the plan to lure the snake out of the hole was successful, Lin Yi immediately asked the two puppet warriors to retreat so as not to be besieged to death.
After all, these Iron Feather Birds are also S-rank, and there are so many of them, there are only two puppet warriors, and they are definitely not opponents.
Therefore, Lin Yi asked them to retreat immediately, and at the same time, his egg-stealing plan also began.
