Chapter 53: Blueprint of the Puppet Factory, Monster Night Attack
“Big brother Mcgee, I’ve just searched the trading area carefully. Basically, they’re all basic weapons with little lethality.
“As for the reward, I haven’t received any response yet. I feel that at this stage, there shouldn’t be many people who can get a black-iron equipment blueprint. Even if they can, they wouldn’t take it out to trade, right?”
Romain spoke a helpless truth.
As he said, most people still rely on their homes to set up traps and fight for materials to survive. Even living was a complicated thing. They did not have the ability to kill level 6 monsters.
Even if lucky people obtained the weapon blueprint when they opened the treasure chest, after the protection period ended and vicious dogs attacked them, they would also realize the importance of their own strength. Therefore, they would not easily take it out to trade.
For example, the person who used the beast pattern short blade blueprint to exchange for half-finished charcoal with Mcgee now even wanted to die.
This result was within Mcgee’s expectations. He did not intend to really obtain the more precious weapon blueprints in the trading area. He was just asking.
“Alright, then help me sell some things. Then, when the time comes, make a list for me.”
Mcgee made his own request. Today’s trip had yielded quite a lot. He had led the tamed beasts to kill dozens of monsters. Not only had he broken down a large number of materials, but he had also stored a pile of bronze and black iron treasure chests.
He kept the parts that he needed and left the rest to Romon to handle the transaction. This way, the profits would be even greater. After all, he was specialized in this.
Mcgee let the Greed Treasure Chest, who had already become obedient, use the s.p.a.ce compression skill. Then, after expanding the s.p.a.ce of a small box, he packed all the items into it and gave it to Romon.
“System Notification: You have lost your storage box (36 items) through the transaction.”
Romon was shocked. A small box could actually hold so many things?
With his sharp mind, he immediately saw a business opportunity.
“Big brother Mcgee, where did you get this box?
“Can you sell me a few?
“I can give you something that you definitely need in exchange!”
After reading this series of messages, Mcgee knew that Romon wanted to become a peddler again.
He did not ask for his purpose and directly asked Romon what he wanted to exchange with him.
A box that could store many items, there were probably many people who needed it.
At the moment, only Mcgee could make it. He also looked at the description of the Greed Treasure Chest’s skill. The s.p.a.ce compression skill could only be used once a day, so the production was quite limited.
If Romon’s price was not satisfactory, he might as well sell it himself.
Soon, Romon sent an ill.u.s.tration.
[Blueprint for puppet factory construction]: Can spend materials to create puppet guards.
Creating puppets to guard his home?
Mcgee found it hard to believe. How could Romon be willing to trade such a good thing?
As long as he had enough materials, creating a puppet army would not be difficult.
However, when he saw the more detailed description, he felt relieved.
It turned out that the puppets produced by this blueprint could only guard their homes. They could not go out to collect resources, and they could not invade other people’s territory.
Unless the Beast Masters themselves went to pull the monsters to their homes, they would fight back.
However, this method was time-consuming, laborious, and the profits were too low.
Moreover, the resources needed to make the puppets were very high. The higher the level, the more expensive it was. Those who were not rich in resources would not be able to afford it.
Although Romon was a businessman, he was in the business of second-hand reselling. He did not have a fixed income, so he only earned the middle price difference.
He was already competent if he could maintain his daily expenses. However, he was far from having the ability to raise an army of puppets.
This thing was quite useful to Mcgee.
After the location of his home was exposed, it was very likely to attract the attention of others.
The two watchtowers could only protect part of the house.
Mcgee’s territory had already covered the Rift Valley where the Molten Lizard was.
If they wanted to protect such a large territory truly, they would need more traps and weapons.
Puppets were also a good choice.
“Okay, I agree.
“However, this box isn’t that easy to get. I only have this one, so I’ll give it to you first.”
Mcgee replied.
Romon was ecstatic. “Thank you, Mcgee. One is enough. I’ll send the blueprint over now.”
“System Notification: You have a new transaction request!”
“System Notification: You obtained a new item through the transaction [Puppet factory construction blueprint]!”
With the item in hand, Mcgee could see the materials needed for the construction.
[Blueprint for the construction of the puppet factory]
Materials required: Iron * 300, stone * 700, wood * 1500, copper * 80.
The demand for these hundreds and thousands of materials was simply an astronomical figure for anyone.
A tree only produced 10 units of wood. If one wanted to build a puppet factory, it was equivalent to cutting 150 trees to meet the production demand.
And this was only one resource.
Even Mcgee, a big resource user, could not gather so many things in a short amount of time.
He opened all of the steel-bronze treasure chests that he obtained from killing monsters in the afternoon. Unfortunately, he only satisfied a small part of his target.
Hence, Mcgee left a message for Romon, asking him to focus on trading more stones and wood.
As for iron and copper, Mcgee planned to revisit the Rift Valley tomorrow.
Of course, he did not plan to rechallenge the Molten Lizard so soon. Instead, he thought there would be Giant Rock Monsters there, and he could obtain many copper and iron ores.
After Mcgee ate the roasted meat with the tamed beasts, the sky had already darkened.
