Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 688 Abundant Resources, Taking Stock of the Transaction Gains!
Cao Xing discovered many interesting things in the various private messages.

He also constantly chatted privately with the survivors, offering prices and then directly making transactions.

[Transaction successful! You have gained [Overload (Skill Book)]*1, and lost [Icefield Giant Rhinoceros Meat (Legendary)]*1500g (15 servings)...]
[Transaction successful! You have gained [High Voltage Electromagnetic Field (Skill Book)]*1, and you have lost [Icefield Giant Rhinoceros Meat (Legendary)]*2500g (25 servings)...]

[Transaction successful...]
……

The system notifications kept flooding the screen!

The transaction lasted from 11:30 p.m. until 1 a.m.

It lasted for a full hour and a half!

This shows just how terrifying Cao Xing's gains were this time!
Even he himself couldn't help but exclaim that he had made a killing this time!
I glanced at my backpack.

Mithril *1136400
【Hengjin Ingot】*81647
[Delhi Steel Ingots] *12897
【Space Crystal】*41647
【Pure Fragments】*1564
【Crystallized Dust Pile】*1547
[Reinforced Silk Cloth Rolls] *1693
【Frosty White Crystal】*69732
【Lion's Head Flower】*11234
【Cold Jadeite】*21546
【Manniu Vine】*8974
……

These materials consumed a total of 109335.97 kilograms of legendary beast meat, equivalent to more than one million servings!

It sounds like a lot, but it's less than one-tenth of the beast meat resources Cao Xing has.

Even so, it still helped him obtain a near-massive amount of resources!
They even collected over a thousand of the most precious materials, such as the [Pure Fragment] and the [Crystallized Dust Pile].

This gives you an idea of ​​just how incredibly valuable these materials are!
Cao Xing said excitedly, "Harold said that we need to prepare two sets of materials, which should be enough to guarantee the success rate of forging the legendary equipment."

"I prepared three sets this time, so it seems there's a high probability that I'll be able to forge them successfully!"

"In this way, I will soon be able to obtain two more legendary items."

"Moreover, this is a legend that I created with my own strength."

Trading tens of thousands of kilograms of legendary beast meat for two legendary pieces of equipment is an incredible deal.

Thinking about this, Cao Xing was so excited that he trembled slightly!

In addition to these, he also obtained a large number of precious medicinal herbs.

According to the proportions given by Francesca, 10 pieces of 'Frosty Jade Marrow' plus 5 'Lion's Head Flower' or 'Bull Vine' can be used to refine a legendary secret medicine!
Cao Xing has collected nearly two thousand copies!

In other words, he will soon have more than two thousand legendary secret medicines!

The value of any bottle of legendary elixir is beyond imagination.

These two thousand-plus bottles of secret medicine alone would be enough to raise the resources to build a giant city!

This is simply money making money, and then more money!

Cao Xing was deeply moved!

"Next up are those blueprints."

This time, Cao Xing successfully exchanged for several high-level blueprints.

This includes the High Knight's Hall, Warrior's Camp, Archer's Range, as well as the Beginner Assassin Training Ground, Intermediate Assassin Training Ground, and Advanced Assassin's Maze.

And the blueprints for building the Guardian Goddess Statue...

The seven blueprints cost him a total of 670 kilograms of legendary beast meat, which is equivalent to 6700 servings.

The final 'Guardian Goddess Statue', in particular, required a full 200 kilograms of legendary beast meat.

Unfortunately, he didn't get the [Advanced Mage Tower Construction Blueprint] he wanted most.

Cao Xing sighed: "I didn't expect that no one in the entire four major regions would have such architectural blueprints."

He shook his head and didn't think much about it.

After all, even without the advanced mage tower, getting so many advanced blueprints is already enough.

"Now, let's take a look at the properties of these blueprints."

Cao Xing randomly clicked on one of the photos and glanced at it.

[Advanced Knight's Hall Construction Blueprint (Orange)]

[Blueprint Description: This blueprint upgrades the Intermediate Knight's Hall in your territory to an Advanced level. Knight-type classes can train there, gain experience, and learn more advanced skills.]

(Note: Legendary knights can accelerate the recovery of divine power in the advanced knight's hall.)
Armor: 3000

Durability: 48

[Floor area: 1345 square meters]

[Altitude: 24 meters]

Training experience points: 1 hour / 3000~30000 points

[Divine Power Acceleration: Recovers 2-4 points per day]

[Advanced skills available for learning: Iron Barrier, Charge Stomp, Sacred Oath]

[Materials required for construction: Level 5 Lord's Castle, 20 Wood, 10 Stone, 5 Iron, 1 Mithril, 2000 Eternal Gold Ingots, 2000 Magic Pattern Stones, 500 Master-grade Elemental Crystals]

Upgrade Time: 245 hours / 46 minutes

……

After reviewing the properties of the blueprint, Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right. Like other professional buildings, after the Knight's Hall is upgraded from intermediate to advanced, you can learn three more skills."

"Moreover, the attributes of these three skills are more powerful than the previous ones."

In addition, training inside can earn up to 30,000 experience points per hour.

These two features alone are enough to make it worthy of being called an epic building.

Of course, this is still not the most important feature.

The most important thing about this kind of high-level building is that legendary knights can train inside, which can accelerate the natural recovery of divine power.

And it's not just 1 point, but a minimum of 2 points!
That's a truly astonishing increase!
Based on this calculation, even a level 100 knight who has just broken through to legendary status can recover 3 points of divine power every day in the Knight's Hall.

If you reach level 150, you might even be able to earn 10 points a day!
"With these advanced buildings, I can produce divine power fragments much faster later on."

Then he continued to examine the area.

Next up are the blueprints for the [Advanced Warrior Camp (Orange)] and the [Advanced Training Range (Orange)].

The effects of these two buildings are basically the same as those of the [Advanced Knight's Hall (Orange)].

The only difference is the advanced skills they learn.

The warrior's abilities are: Berserker Rage, Earthshatter, and Unyielding Will.

Archers are characterized by: piercing arrows, rapid-fire shots, and fatal weaknesses.

Then, Cao Xing glanced at the other three blueprints, which were for assassin-type buildings.

"Speaking of which... because there weren't many assassins in the territory before, only Sarah and Heri, we didn't collect any blueprints on this subject."

"Now we've exchanged all the blueprints for the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels all at once."

According to Cao Xing's plan, he will now prepare to establish an assassination squad.

After the giant city is built, any issues that need to be resolved discreetly will be handled by the assassination squad.

As for Sarah... she was his personal bodyguard, and he couldn't leave her side easily.

A few seconds later, Cao Xing finished looking at the attributes of the three assassin building blueprints.

It has the same effect as other professional buildings.

Besides gaining training experience points, you can learn a total of eight skills.

In addition to the basic stealth and assassination skills.

There are also advanced techniques like Shadow Strike, Backstab, and Suicide Shot.

In addition, there are high-level skills such as Dark Blade Throw, Death Mark, and Heavenly Punishment.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction again, "Not bad, these basic skills are of little use to Sarah."

"Those intermediate and advanced skills are still quite powerful."

"In the hands of this legendary assassin, it can unleash terrifying lethality."

He secretly decided that once the blizzard was over, he would start building all six blueprints.

Of course, the amount of materials needed to build six blueprints is also quite staggering.

"I traded over a million for mithril this time, and with the several hundred thousand in the treasury of the Kingdom of Velen, it's more than enough."

"What we lack are basic resources such as timber and iron, as well as master-level elemental crystals."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing thought to himself, "It seems this round of transactions is over. I'll have to sell another batch of giant rhinoceros meat later to exchange for some basic materials."

It’s different in the past.

In the early stages, unless in dire need, Cao Xing generally wouldn't use his own resources to exchange for basic resources from other survivors.

The quantity of these basic resources determines the speed of a territory's development.

If he were to plunder the resources from the other survivors and concentrate them all in his own hands.

The development of one's own territory will indeed accelerate.

However, this will slow down the development speed of other lords.

Their strength was already weak; if they were to encounter further disasters, they would be completely doomed.

But it's different now.

The infrastructure in most of the territories is now almost complete, and there are quite a few basic resources at hand.

Replacing Cao Xing with a small portion won't have a significant impact.

Of course, this is only a small part, but it is still an astronomical number when considering the hundreds of thousands of people in the four major regions.

With that in mind, Cao Xing began to examine the seventh and final blueprint.

[Blueprints for the Guardian Goddess Statue]

[Quality: Epic]

[Blueprint Description: Consumes a large amount of materials to build a statue of the guardian goddess, Ytherel, within your territory to protect the entire territory.]

[Site area: 412 square meters]

Building height: 28 meters

[Statue Effect: The divine power of the Goddess Statue protects the entire territory, increasing the armor and durability of all territory buildings by 20%, and activating the 'Guardian Power' effect when the territory is attacked.]

Guardian Power: Restores 1% durability to all buildings in the territory every 5 seconds for 300 seconds. Cooldown: 7 days.

[Materials required for construction: Level 5 Lord's Castle, 20 Stones, 10 Iron, 2 Mithril, 5000 Eternal Gold Ingots, 2000 Master-grade Elemental Crystals, 1 Guardian Stone]

……

After reading the description of the blueprint, Cao Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

"Increases the durability and armor of all buildings? That's a good attribute."

"Furthermore, it has a protective power effect that can actually restore durability based on a percentage!"

"Although it's not much, it's still a very amazing effect!"

It should be noted that previously, these territorial structures, such as city walls, could not be repaired immediately when damaged.

The only way to repair it is to send staff after the battle is over. But this will not only take a lot of time, but also consume a lot of materials.

With this [Guardian Goddess Statue], countless resources and time have been indirectly saved.

However, what Cao Xing was more concerned about was that the power of protection could continuously restore the durability of buildings.

Could this effect, like 'Ice Healing', be enhanced by [Eternal Power] and become permanent?
If possible, that would be incredibly meaningful!

This means that your city wall will recover 1% of its durability every 5 seconds, and it will be fully restored in just 500 seconds!
This will be of great help to the giant city he is about to build.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing was eager to build the statue and test its effect.

However, building the statue of the guardian goddess requires the same special material as building the statue of the god of craftsmen.

What's needed this time is the 'Guardian Stone'.

Cao Xing decided that when he traded the basic materials later, he would also see if he could trade this stone as well.

Nodding with satisfaction.

After reviewing the blueprints, the next step is to look at the skill books.

This time, I obtained a total of 6 skill books, two for each profession.

As usual, Cao Xing only purchased the skill books needed by himself, Liu Muxue, and Tong Chuchu.

As for the Snow Hunter and the Arctic Warrior, he ignored them.

I glanced at the attributes.

[Overloaded operation (orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Learning Requirements: Cold Iron Mechanic Profession]

[Learning Level: 60 or above]

【Skill effect: Consumes 200~500 mechanical power, 200 mithril and 20 master-level elemental crystals.】

Imbue the machinery or mechs controlled by the mechanic with special powers, putting them into an 'overload operation' state.

Mech attack speed increased by 50%, attack power increased by 30%, skill cooldown time reduced by 30%, lasting 60-300 seconds, cooldown time 10 minutes.

(Note: After entering overload operation mode, the mech will unleash its ultimate potential and overdraw its core energy. After the state ends, there is a 50% probability of entering an overload paralysis state.)
...

...

[High-Voltage Electromagnetic Field (Skill Book)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Learning Requirements: Cold Iron Mechanic]

[Learning Level: 60 or above]

[Skill effect: Consumes 500 mechanical power to create a high-voltage electromagnetic field with a diameter of 500 meters.]

Within this area, all enemy units will be affected by the 'electromagnetic interference' effect, reducing their attack speed and movement speed by 20%, and giving them a 30% chance to fail to cast their skills.

If the enemy unit is a mechanical or electronic unit, the interference effect is doubled.

Furthermore, it will release an electromagnetic pulse every 3 seconds, dealing lightning damage equal to 248% of attack power to all enemies.

Skill duration: 20 seconds; Cooldown: 120 minutes

...

...

After reviewing the attributes of these two skills, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

Clearly, both the 'overload operation' and the 'high-voltage electromagnetic field' are extremely powerful.

The former can significantly enhance the combat power of mechs or robots, and can also benefit from the [Eternal Power] bonus.

what is this concept?

This means that Tong Chuchu can use this skill to unleash it on all the hundreds of robots in her territory!
They created an enhanced robot army!

The latter's 'high-voltage electromagnetic field' also has the effects of group interference and group damage.

It can be said that a mechanic who has mastered these skills holds a pivotal position in the team.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction and said, "At this stage, the mechanic can be considered to have begun to show his talent."

"In the beta version I played before, the highest level a mechanic could reach was 70."

"But even so, it's already very strong."

"I wonder what powerful abilities the Mechanic will possess when they break through to Hero or even Legendary levels!"

This made him somewhat hopeful.

Then, they began to look at other things.

Next up are the two skill books for the Aurora Knight.

【Aurora Impact - Pillar of Purification (Orange)】

[Quality: Epic]

[Job to Learn: Aurora Knight]

[Learning Requirements: Level 60 or above]

【Skill Effect: Condenses a large amount of aurora power at the sword tip, then bursts forward, releasing a pillar of purification that pierces through the battlefield!】
Deals (Attack Power * 215% + Agility) damage per second to all enemy units in its path, and applies a 'Purify' effect, dispelling 1-3 buffs from enemy units.

The maximum length of the Purification Pillar is 500 meters, and its width is 5 meters.

Duration: 3 seconds; Cooldown: 5 minutes

...

...

Master-level Swordsmanship Mastery (Orange)

[Quality: Epic]

[Skill Type: Passive]

[Learning Requirements: Sword-wielding combat classes such as Aurora Knight and Arctic Warrior]

[Learning Level: 60 or above]

[Skill Effect: After decades of dedicated practice with the sword, he has mastered various combat techniques and finally achieved master-level swordsmanship.]

Increases the attack power of sword-type weapons by 30%, increases attack speed by 20%, and increases the damage of all sword-type skills by 25%.

...

...

Liu Muxue's two skills are also very powerful.

Although it doesn't have the buff-type skill that Cao Xing wanted most, it's still pretty good.

Moreover, compared to others, Liu Muxue already has many buff skills, making her the strongest support in the entire territory.

"That's good, these two skills will greatly enhance Mu Xue's combat power."

Then, Cao Xing began to examine the last two skills.

【Frozen Secret Technique (Orange)】

[Quality: Epic]

[Skill Type: Passive]

[Learning Requirements: Frost Mage]

[Learning Level: 60 or above]

[Skill Effect: By comprehending the profound meaning of the Way of Ice and grasping the true essence of the power of ice, the skill's freezing ability is greatly enhanced!]

The duration of all Frost Mage's ice-based crowd control abilities (such as Freeze, Slow, and Deep Freeze) is increased by 50%.

When a Frost Mage casts an ice-based skill, there is a 30% chance to trigger 'Frozen Shackles,' completely freezing the target, rendering them unable to move or attack for 0.1 to 3 seconds.

...

...

Master-level Ice Elemental Mastery (Orange)

[Quality: Epic]

[Skill Type: Passive]

[Learning Requirements: Frost Mage]

[Learning Level: 60 or above]

[Skill Effect: Increases casting speed of ice-type skills by 40% and skill damage by 30%.]

...

...

After reviewing the last two skill attribute books, Cao Xing once again smiled with satisfaction.

"These two passive skills have greatly improved me!"

The former, [Icebound Secret Technique], significantly extends the duration of control.

After learning this skill, he can control a legendary character for at least three or four seconds with a single [Frost Crystal Prison - Ice Burial].

This amount of time is enough for his legendary subordinates to practice their skills.

The subsequent [Master Elemental Mastery] skill further significantly increased his casting speed and skill damage.

The already terrifying attack power surged even further.

With a clap of his hands, he learned both skill books in one go.

In an instant! A massive amount of memories flooded into Cao Xing's mind.

At the same time, a terrifying chill emanated from him.

This chill seemed to freeze everything around it.

Thick white frost spread outwards from his feet, as if even the air itself had been frozen.

As a level 100 Frost Mage, it will take much less time to master these two master-level skills.

Just a few minutes later, Cao Xing suddenly opened his eyes.

Two consecutive system prompts appeared.

[You have successfully learned the skill: [Icebound Arcane]...]
[You have successfully learned the skill: Master-level Ice Elemental Mastery...]
...

...
