Chapter 150 We're Going to Get Rich (7.4k, Please Subscribe)
Long Xiaochen picked up a pair of trousers.

Lin Hanchuan took it and checked the information through the system.

The Level 25 Silver +6 Water Bear Monster Set consists of eight pieces: Helmet, Shoulder Armor, Chest Armor, Bracers, Belt, Pants, Boots, and Ring.

All assembly requirements are the same.

After killing three water bear monster bosses, I finally collected a complete set of silver-level water bear monster armor, and I still have a few duplicate pieces in my inventory.

Lin Hanchuan took out the remaining seven pieces of the set and put them on. The moment he put on the last helmet, a dark blue light suddenly emanated from the [Water Bear Monster Set - Ring] on his right hand.

The light, like a scanner, fell upon Lin Hanchuan, scanning him completely from top to bottom, and then—

Click, click, click! !
The various parts of the Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Suit made a snapping sound as they joined together, then slowly shrank to fit Lin Hanchuan's body.

Before long, Lin Hanchuan's entire body, except for his hands, was completely covered by the Water Bear Monster Suit, making him look like a slender version of the Water Bear Monster BOSS.

Lin Hanchuan moved his body and felt no restriction on his movements at all. His vision, breathing, hearing and everything else were no different from normal.

Compared to equipment and items, the outfits that have arrived are more like a skin for players, ensuring that you can move freely while also providing additional attribute boosts.

……

After reading the information, Lin Hanchuan opened the panel to check the attribute enhancement.

The Silver-tier Water Bear Monster set greatly enhanced his attributes.

In addition, there are three special abilities and three skills.

For a set that offers such a significant boost, it's already quite good, especially considering it's considered a bottom-tier set among all full-class sets.

"Captain, this Silver-grade Water Bear Monster suit looks absolutely awesome on you!" Long Xiaochen didn't hold back his praise.

Seeing Long Xiaochen's fawning smile, Lin Hanchuan naturally understood his thoughts and said, "Don't worry, I'll get you a set later!"

The next eight hours are for defending the title.

The water bear monster will respawn every half hour, and there are sixteen chances to kill the water bear monster BOSS. However, Lin Hanchuan has something to do in the afternoon and needs to go to Wangyue City to take care of it.

But it should be fine to refresh it eight or nine times.

Producing three parts at once is enough to equip the entire Heavenly Path Squad with the Silver-level Water Bear Monster Set.

"Thank you, Captain!" Long Xiaochen quickly expressed his gratitude.

He wanted the outfit too.

The Silver-tier Water Bear Monster Set not only looks cool, but also provides a significant boost to your stats, allowing you to increase your combat power considerably.

Lin Hanchuan smiled and began cleaning up the loot dropped by the Water Bear Monster BOSS.

When Lin Hanchuan was busy.

The public chat channel in Wangyue City has exploded with activity due to the recent system announcement.

"Idiot system, you don't need to issue these kinds of announcements anymore. Don't you know what kind of strength your Heavenly Dao Squad has? You actually encouraged us to rob their two-star mine. Isn't this just sending us to our deaths?"

"The Heavenly Path Squad is really never idle! They took down the Rampaging Rhino Monster BOSS at dawn, achieving the honor of being the first team in the entire region to kill a wild BOSS, and shortly after sunrise, they took down a two-star mine. They're really skilled and work even harder than you!"

"I'm in the water bear's territory, waiting for some big shot to come and challenge the Heavenly Dao Squad."

"Breaking news! Arakawa White Owl has successfully obtained the Silver-tier Water Bear Monster Set!"

"They even have the Silver Set now. Oh no, the gap is even bigger."

"Brothers, that's a two-star mine. If we take it, an ordinary person will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their life. Any challenges?"

"Why don't you go!"

"I regard money as dirt, and I prefer to eat melons."

"If there's even a one percent chance of winning, I'll go."

"I'd go even if it was only one in a thousand, after all, it's a two-star mine!"

……

Everyone wants a two-star mine, even if they don't need it themselves. They can sell it to the system for a huge sum of money.

However, the team defending the title is the Heavenly Dao Team, currently the first team in the Ninth District. Although it only has four members, each of them is incredibly strong.

Moreover, stealing wild BOSSes is easy; it can be done in an instant. But stealing mines is troublesome. After winning, you have to defend the arena for eight hours. Who can endure eight hours of being ravaged by the Heavenly Dao Squad?

……

……

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully acquired a [Water Bear Set Blueprint] and added it to your storage space. Please check it!"

The system notification sound made Lin Hanchuan pause his data collection for a moment.

My attention immediately fell on the spatial ring in my hand. The 30-slot backpack was already full, and the collected items were placed in the spatial ring by default.

In the ring, where there was little space left in the grid, there was a blueprint.

[Water Bear Monster Set Blueprint]: After learning this blueprint, you will receive the recipe information for crafting a level 25 Silver +6 Water Bear Monster set.

Raw materials: red crystal, blue crystal... black iron stone
Number of times you can learn: 10!
Required professions: Advanced Alchemist, Top-Tier Blacksmith.

"Captain, what's wrong?" Long Xiaochen asked hurriedly, looking at Lin Hanchuan who had suddenly frozen in shock.

"The blueprint for the set has dropped!" Lin Hanchuan looked up at Long Xiaochen and said seriously, "The blueprint for the level 25 silver-grade water bear monster set."

"Holy crap!!" Long Xiaochen was immediately shocked. He thought of the weapons factory that Lin Hanchuan had recently bought. "Captain, we're going to strike it rich!"

“Yes!” Lin Hanchuan agreed.

The information about the Water Bear Monster Set is there; there are no class requirements. As long as you wear it, you will receive a large attribute boost and also gain the ability to go underwater. It's not just useful in the current Green Light Lake map; you can use it in any water map you encounter in the future, and you can use it until you reach the maximum level.

It offers excellent value for money.

Lin Hanchuan initially only intended to give each member of the Heavenly Dao Squad a set, but the nature of the matter changed once the blueprints were produced.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Hanchuan looked at the crystal mine behind Long Xiaochen. He had previously planned to sell it to the system after acquiring ownership, and make some money to buy more land.

But now, the plans have changed.

Half of the raw materials needed to craft the Water Bear Monster set are various crystals.

Lin Hanchuan plans to fully exploit the value of this crystal mine, create the Water Bear Monster Set, and sell it to players.

Selling ore is not as good as selling weapons, and selling weapons is not as good as selling armor sets.

In the early game, a level 25 Silver +6 Water Bear Monster set is absolutely god-tier gear for the vast majority of players!

Especially those big spenders who have plenty of money will be eager to buy them.

Once he reveals that he is Night Owl, Moon Gazing City will quickly become a megacity with a guaranteed population of several million, and a vast market.

Lin Hanchuan has no trouble selling the Water Bear Monster Set.

If, at that time, player merchants buy large quantities of Water Bear Monster sets and then travel great distances to sell them in cities surrounding Wangyue City, Lin Hanchuan wouldn't find it strange.

The competitive mentality of "having what others don't have, and being better at what others have" is fully displayed in the process of arriving.

Cao Renjie and Long Xiaoyue, who had been watching this side, noticed the joy on Lin Hanchuan and Long Xiaochen's faces and immediately cast a questioning glance at them.

There were too many people around to speak openly, so Long Xiaochen directly opened the panel, entered the Heavenly Dao Squad chat group, and spoke in it.

[Heavenly Path Squad Chat Group]

Long Xiaochen: "This water bear monster BOSS dropped a level 25 silver +6 water bear monster set blueprint, we're rich!"

The message was sent out.

Lin Hanchuan then posted all the information about the Water Bear Monster Set and its blueprints in the chat group.

Cao Renjie replied immediately.

Cao Renjie: "Holy crap, this is really going to be a fortune!"

"Boss, your weapons factory has a job!"

"How about we go back to the weapons factory now and arrange for their manufacture?"

Lin Hanchuan: "No rush. We'll go to the weapons factory at noon, and then meet with the city lord at the city hall later. As for the Water Bear Monster territory, I'll leave the defense to you guys."

"I'll come over as soon as this is over."

Long Xiaoyue: "Meet with the city lord?"

Lin Hanchuan: "Yes! It was the city lord who asked for it. I just want to see if I can use his connections to become a familiar face in the upper echelons of Wangyue City."

"Among the human NPCs in the upper levels of Wangyue City, there are quite a few high-level demons in disguise. I want to push forward the C-level hidden quest a little."

Currently, because he has been busy making money and improving his strength, Lin Hanchuan has neither the time nor the opportunity to improve the progress of the C-level hidden missions related to demons.

Next, I'll meet with the city lord, though it's uncertain whether I can continue to push things forward.

But it's still an opportunity.

do not miss it.

Long Xiaoyue: "Then you'd better be careful!"

Lin Hanchuan: "I will be careful. The mission is only to discover their identities, not to kill them."

Cao Renjie reassured him, "Captain, you can go without worry! We can handle things here."

Long Xiaochen was brimming with confidence: "If anyone comes to challenge me, I, Long Xiaochen, can handle it all by myself."

Regarding the matter of defending the title.

None of the members of the Heavenly Dao Squad, including Lin Hanchuan, took it to heart.

In the public chat channel of Wangyue City, many players are just talking big, but none of them actually take any action.

After all, the Heavenly Dao Squad has already made a name for itself. With the Madman as a cautionary tale, anyone who wants to challenge them should really think twice.

After clearing away the Water Bear Monster BOSS's loot and corpse, Lin Hanchuan didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stayed with Long Xiaochen and the others to continue fighting the Water Bear Monster BOSS.

With Lin Hanchuan's high luck stat, he continued to defeat two more Water Bear Monster BOSSes. Combined with the previous drops, he completed another Silver-grade Water Bear Monster set and gave it to Long Xiaochen.

During this time, Long Xiaochen finally managed to collect a bronze-level water bear monster set from those elite-level water bear monsters. Although it could go underwater, it could only dive up to 10 meters. It was not a full-fledged set, and its attributes were incomparable to the silver-level water bear monster set.

During this time.

Players who had heard that the Heavenly Path Team had won the right to defend their title around the Water Bear Monster's territory came from all over to see what was happening. Those who had been watching earlier also left after confirming that no one would be coming to challenge them.

The crowd came and went in waves.

Unable to leave the water bear monster's territory, the players of the Heavenly Path Squad were thus repeatedly observed.

"Sigh, it would be great if we could have a few more challenges!" Long Xiaochen, who was almost sick of battling the water bear monsters, said as he looked at the crowd coming and going.

Cao Renjie replied, "You should be content! It'll be just like this when we encounter high-level mines defending their positions in the future, and that will be fine!"

“Yes!” Lin Hanchuan sat on the grass, looking at the distant mountains, and agreed with Cao Renjie.

The area covered by the system announcement is affected by the star rating of the mine. The higher the star rating of the mine, the larger the announcement area and the longer it takes to defend the position.

A two-star crystal mine is just a low-star crystal mine. The ore mined from it can basically only be used to craft weapons and equipment of gold level or lower.

The system only made the announcement to all players in Wangyue City.

But if you reach four stars.

Several cities surrounding Wangyue City will receive a system notification that the defending forces will immediately face challenges from players in the surrounding cities.

If you reach nine stars.

Congratulations! You have achieved the goal of being announced in the entire region.

In this situation, even top-tier powers would have to go around giving face, offering benefits, and seeking alliances to hold onto a mine.

If a battle breaks out...

Lin Hanchuan thought of his guild in his previous life, where they discovered a nine-star mine in a different dimension.

That defense of the title was truly fierce.

Thousands of guilds participated in the battle, and millions of players died. Lin Hanchuan died twice.

The various factions took turns holding the title for over a month, but no one was determined to have permanent ownership.

In the end, it was their own guild leader who found several big shots from top forces, and everyone sat down together to discuss the matter thoroughly. They voluntarily handed over a large amount of benefits, and only then was the matter resolved.

Back in the first district, Lin Hanchuan's Night Owl Squad was also invited by several guilds to participate in the defense of the arena. Although there were large-scale battles and many players died, it was nothing compared to the previous life.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After farming two more sets of Silver-grade Water Bear Monster armor and equipping each member of the Heavenly Path Squad with one piece, it was already close to noon.

"I have to go!" Lin Hanchuan looked at the time on the panel and said to Long Xiaochen and the others, "I'm leaving things here to you. Keep watch for another three hours or so, and we'll take it down. If I haven't arrived by then, you're free to do as you please. You can put on your Water Bear Monster suits and explore the bottom of Green Light Lake..."

After explaining some things.

Lin Hanchuan, carrying Xingchen, used a return scroll, and his figure instantly disappeared from the water bear monster's territory.

When it appears again.

Lin Hanchuan has arrived at the Resurrection Square in Wangyue City.

Almost a day later, when they arrived again, the resurrection square was already full of players, and the crowd looked a bit crowded.

"We've finally arrived at Wangyue City!"

"I just randomly picked a city, but I never expected that the strongest mage in our Ninth District, Arakawa White Owl, is here."

"I've heard that Arakawa Haku is very handsome!"

"Really?!"

"It's definitely true! Why don't you look at the Yushu Ranking? He's number one!"

"Any bros want to team up and run a dungeon?"

Amidst the clamor of these players, Lin Hanchuan heard his own ID several times.

Without listening carefully, Lin Hanchuan took Xingchen and headed towards the weapon factory. At the same time, he opened his friends panel and glanced at Lao Mo's level.

Level 9.

But it's not online.

I don't know what I'm busy with.

Lin Hanchuan: "Contact me as soon as you get to the city!"

After sending a message to Lao Mo, Lin Hanchuan closed his personal panel and headed straight for the weapons factory.

There were quite a few things to do when we went to the city this time.

We need to do it one thing at a time.

The weapons factory in the West Third District, which used to be deserted, is now surrounded by many players who are wandering around and looking around. A few even tried to enter the weapons factory, but were stopped.

Most of these people are businessmen.

Everyone wants to see if they can get a batch of weapons from the weapons factory and sell them, preferably the kind that only requires goodwill points and doesn't require paying a single copper coin.

Lin Hanchuan's appearance also attracted the attention of some players, but after a quick glance, they immediately had a strange feeling in their minds—I think I know him.

They were all low-level merchant players who had just leveled up from the newbie village. They had heard of the name Arakawa White Owl, but few had actually seen him in person. Most of them had only seen his appearance in videos on some websites.

My memory of it is not deep.

It wasn't until Lin Hanchuan entered the weapons factory and the NPCs guarding the entrance displayed a respectful attitude that the merchants belatedly realized what was happening.

"Is he Arakawa Haku? I've seen his video of soloing the berserk rhino monster boss before, no wonder he looks so familiar."

"Wasn't he defending his position in the water bear's territory? Eight hours of defense time, it seems like it hasn't been over yet!"

"Why is Arakawa White Owl at the weapons factory? Does he also want to sell weapons?"

Under the watchful eyes of the players, Lin Hanchuan met Roger at the factory gate.

As soon as Roger saw Lin Hanchuan, he poured out his grievances, "Boss, you've finally arrived! You have no idea that while you were away, a lot of foreigners came to our factory."

“Those people are like ghosts, always hanging around the factory. As soon as someone leaves the factory, they immediately surround them and ask all sorts of random questions.”

"Quite a few people even try to sneak in at night by climbing over the wall."

"In order to protect the security of the facilities inside the weapons factory, I took the initiative to pay for several guards."

"How much did it cost?" Lin Hanchuan asked directly.

Roger paused for a moment, then replied, "Ten gold coins!"

Lin Hanchuan immediately took out 11 gold coins and handed them to Roger, saying, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"No, no!" Roger quickly shook his head, but didn't forget to take the gold coins from Lin Hanchuan's hand, only taking 10.

He used to be the boss, but now he's an employee.

Previously, when they couldn't contact Lin Hanchuan, it was already quite kind of them to take the initiative to pay for a bodyguard.

Right now, I'm just getting my principal back.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at the players outside the factory and walked straight into the factory building, saying to Roger, "I have something to discuss here, come in and talk!"

"Oh!!" Roger quickly followed him into the factory.

The NPCs inside the factory were the same ones I saw when I first came to the weapons factory; they were all chatting in small groups.

When they saw Lin Hanchuan looking over, they immediately separated, pretending to be busy.

Actually, there's not much to do. The factory hasn't even started operating yet, so they're just here to kill time.

But this kind of lazy, aimless lifestyle will soon come to an end.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Roger asked as soon as he entered.

"Take a look at this!" Lin Hanchuan took out the blueprints for the Water Bear Monster Set and handed them to Roger.

Roger took the blueprints from Lin Hanchuan with a puzzled look. After just one glance, his expression immediately changed, and he said with some shock, "The blueprints for the Silver Set?"

"Okay!" Lin Hanchuan nodded. "This next suit will be the first batch produced by our factory. You'll be in charge of this. If you encounter any difficulties, just let me know!"

"Who should I sell to!" Roger's first thought was about the target market. His factory had gone bankrupt not because of low productivity, but because no one wanted to buy the weapons it produced.

“A foreigner!” Lin Hanchuan replied.

"They..." Roger still remembers that several foreigners squatting outside the factory blocked his way and asked if he could give them a batch of weapons for free.

"Don't worry, they can afford it! Foreigners are rich, they're all easy targets!" Lin Hanchuan knew what Roger was worried about, and immediately said, "You are responsible for making as many Water Bear Monster sets as possible. As for the sales, I will let others handle it."

"Just tell me the difficulties the factory is currently facing in starting operations, and I'll solve them."

The boss has already said that.

As an employee, Roger naturally couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and said, "We don't lack manpower. We're the only weapons factory in the entire Wangyue City. As soon as we start production, workers will come from all directions to fill the factory."

"The machines used to manufacture weapons and equipment are all in good working order, and some of the raw materials needed for the Water Bear Monster Set are also available in the factory warehouse."

"The only thing we lack now is start-up capital and a large quantity of various types of crystal raw materials."

At this point, Roger added something.

"The most needed item for crafting the Water Bear Monster set is crystal."

Lin Hanchuan led Roger to the factory warehouse, poured in 10 gold coins, and said, "These 10 gold coins are the initial start-up capital for the factory. If it's not enough, I can add more."

In order to put the Tartar set into production as soon as possible, Lin Hanchuan did not hesitate to take out a portion of the money originally intended for buying land as start-up capital.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that players' levels hadn't yet increased and quickly make a fortune with the Water Bear Monster Set.

"As for raw materials for crystals, I can acquire a two-star crystal mine soon. I can provide all types of crystals needed for the Water Bear Monster set!"

Lin Hanchuan continued.

"However, I need mining workers, but I don't have a way to contact them yet."

Looking at the 10 gold coins piled up in the warehouse, Roger was certain that Lin Hanchuan was determined to create the Water Bear Monster Set this time. He patted his chest and said, "Leave the mining to me. I can arrange for people to go to the Radiant Forest and hire the dwarves there to help mine the crystals. As for transporting the ore, you can contact the city hall."

"The city guards at the city hall are very short of money."

"As for the remaining missing ore raw materials, I have some connections with ore suppliers. I'll go and ask them. 10 gold coins as initial start-up capital is more than enough."

"If all goes well, you should be able to see the weapons factory start operations as early as the day after tomorrow."

Roger truly lives up to his reputation as the former factory manager.

Lin Hanchuan quickly finished the preliminary preparations for creating the Water Bear Monster set and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The first thing to do after entering Wangyue City was to find Roger, intentionally so that he could prepare in advance.

Crafting a complete set isn't something you can do immediately.

Especially for a weapons factory that has been closed for a long time, a lot of preparatory steps are needed before the factory can be put into operation.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Lin Hanchuan said gratefully.

Having a professional do this will save Lin Hanchuan a lot of trouble.

"It's not hard work!" Roger said with a grin. This factory was left to him by his father, and being able to see it come back to life in his lifetime was a very happy thing for Roger.

Looking at the blueprints for the Water Bear Set in his hand, Roger hesitated for a moment before speaking to Lin Hanchuan.

"Boss, if you don't mind, I'd like to study this blueprint first and understand the overall production steps of the Water Bear Monster suit."

"Row!"

After receiving Lin Hanchuan's consent, Roger immediately began studying.

A white light flowed out of the blueprint and entered Roger's body.

After instantly obtaining the crafting steps for the Water Bear Monster Set, Roger looked at Lin Hanchuan and said, "The steps aren't complicated. If a top-tier alchemist crafts it carefully, they can basically make eight out of ten pieces. The whole process takes half an hour if you're quick, and two hours if you're slow."

"It's a pity that you can only learn 10 times. If you could learn 10 more times, you could go directly into the assembly line. Each alchemist or blacksmith would only need to complete one or two steps, and on average, it would take three minutes to forge a piece."

He served as the director of a weapons factory for decades.

As a master alchemist and a grandmaster blacksmith, Roger had a profound understanding of the weapon-making process.

Lin Hanchuan was about to speak.

I received a message from Long Xiaochen in my personal panel.

Long Xiaochen – “Captain, another blueprint for the Water Bear Monster armor set has dropped! [Photo]!”

It is true that if you speak of Cao Cao, he will appear.

As soon as the problem arose, Long Xiaochen immediately provided a solution.

Lin Hanchuan: "Good, good, well done. I'm at the weapons factory now, and all I need is your blueprint. The Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Set will then be ready for mass production on the assembly line."

Close the panel.

Lin Hanchuan looked at Roger and said with a smile.

"The blueprint is fine. I have a friend who got another blueprint for the Water Bear Monster set."
