Chapter 225 The value of expansion cards continues to increase (Third update)

Early the next morning.

It was just getting dark.

Zhang Bo then brought the items to their door.

Standing outside the door, Zhang Bo paced back and forth, glancing behind him every now and then.

Since I'm here so early, surely no one's watching me now.

The door opens.

When Zhang Bo saw Jia Liangcai behind the door, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and he handed over the bag of salt in his hand, saying, "Mr. Jia."

Jia Liangcai chuckled and took it casually, placing it on the wooden cabinet by the entrance. "You've come too."

After saying that, he stepped aside to make room for him, indicating that he should come in.

Zhang Bo was puzzled, wondering what he meant by "I'm here too".

He then looked into the room and immediately spotted Huang Tao sitting on the sofa, smiling at him.

Their eyes met, and Huang Tao raised his hand and waved to him.

"Damn it." Zhang Bo's face looked like he had eaten a pile of shit. He forced himself to sit down next to Huang Tao, suppressing his discomfort.

Huang Tao turned around with a smile and said to Zhang Bo, "You've come at the right time. I was listening to Chairman Qin talk about his card rental business."

Zhang Bo absentmindedly responded. He hadn't expected Huang Tao to arrive so early in the morning; this guy was being far too diligent.

Immediately, the thought that drew his attention was: renting cards?
What kind of gameplay is this?

He was puzzled, but didn't show it, and listened attentively with his head tilted to the side.

Soon, after listening to Qin Ziwen and Huang Tao's discussion, Zhang Bo suddenly realized the truth.

The original plan was to lend cards to those within the Qin Alliance who hadn't yet obtained cards, allowing them to activate their homesteads and then claim rewards through map settlements. Although the rewards might not be substantial and wouldn't bring much personal profit, it actually strengthened the foundation of the entire alliance.

Zhang Bo was envious; these people were just too lucky.

You can get a card for free.

However, Zhang Bo thought of a problem and asked cautiously, "President Qin, aren't you afraid that someone might borrow money and not pay it back?"

"Not returning it?" Qin Ziwen pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly as if he had thought of something amusing.

Huang Tao also burst into laughter.

Zhang Bo frowned and pondered for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head, realizing he had asked a truly foolish question.

That's right. If Chairman Qin wants to borrow something, he will definitely do his research beforehand.

I won't lend money to someone who has no ties and is all alone.

Moreover, would anyone really dare to borrow money and not pay it back?

Huang Tao took out something wrapped in cloth from his pocket. "Mr. Qin, I was overjoyed to hear that you have advanced to the extraordinary realm, so I specially prepared a small gift for you."

Huang Tao unfolded the cloth, revealing what was underneath.

Under the sunlight, the gray cards gleamed with a delicate matte finish.

[Building Card] Level 1 Blacksmith Shop.

"I've heard that Mr. Qin owns a blacksmith shop, so this card will be of the greatest use to you." Huang Tao presented the card with both hands and placed it on the table.

Qin Ziwen's expression was subtle. A blacksmith shop?
That's ancient history. They've all been upgraded to the Yanwu Military Equipment Bureau by now.

Zhang Bo was furious. "Sycophant! Huang Tao deserves to die!"
You're usually so honest, how could you be so reckless? Do you also want to join the Qin Alliance?
Zhang Bo secretly reached into his pocket, suddenly feeling that he couldn't bring himself to give the gift.

Qin Ziwen looked at Zhang Bo, and thank goodness, he had only glanced at him casually.

Then, as if under stress, Zhang Bo quickly pulled something out of his pocket.

"President Qin, I've used up all the cards I recently acquired. Although I don't have any cards left, this is a new product I'm launching."

Zhang Bo carefully took out a small bottle.

Unscrew the cap to reveal a fine brown powder inside.

It looks familiar.

Huang Tao was somewhat surprised, "Cumin powder? When did you get it?"

Zhang Bo's lips curled up. "I heard that someone was selling cumin, so I bought all the cumin from that place. Then I spent some time collecting cumin seedlings in the Gobi Desert. I figured that as the living conditions of the residents in the community gradually improved, their demand for seasonings would definitely be higher, so I looked for some plants that could produce seasonings in advance."

"President, cumin powder is made from ground and processed cumin seeds. Because we're currently expanding production, the quantity of cumin is limited. But if you'd like some, just let me know, and I'll send it to you anytime."

Qin Ziwen was quite satisfied with the cumin powder. He accepted it and said, "Okay, I'll try it later."

Lately, the seasonings he uses in his food are just salt, chili peppers, and scallions. It's good to have more options; cumin is a good thing.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, seeing Qin Ziwen glance at his phone to check the time, the two tactfully took their leave.

After they left, Qin Ziwen casually picked up the blacksmith's shop card on the table and tossed it to Jia Liangcai, saying, "Take this to fill the deck and activate the homes for those newbies."

"Yes, my lord."

Qin Ziwen then stood up and took out three function cards.

First, take out the [Function Card] and use it.

[Activate Feature: Level 5 Insight]

[Privileges elevated, current privileges: Level 3 (4/8)]

[Level 5 Insight: Can be used on any target to understand its basic rules and discover higher-level attributes]

Qin Ziwen glanced at it; it seemed very mysterious.

He got up and went from the bedroom to the large sandy area to the north.

He glanced at the newly built Blood Sand Arena in the distance.

【1级血沙斗兽场：1级血勇、1级鼓舞、2级体力恢复】（斗兽：略）→【2级血沙斗兽场：1级血勇、2级鼓舞、3级体力恢复】（斗兽：略）（占地面积80*80米→120*120米）
I see. So it's possible to see the next level of attributes of a building in advance.

However, increasing the size of the Colosseum is a good thing.

Although the Level 1 Blood Sand Colosseum is quite large, even larger than the performance area of ​​the Flavian Amphitheatre, the most famous amphitheater in ancient Rome, it is unlikely that even the ancient Romans could have imagined that one day dinosaurs would be fighting in the Colosseum.

It's not that the Blood Sand Arena is small, but that the dinosaurs are too big.

However, another problem arises: the total area of ​​the homestead is limited. If the area of ​​the arena continues to expand, and the homestead does not have enough space to build, it will not even be able to complete the upgrade.

Qin Ziwen continued to look at the giant beast breeding center next to him.

【1级巨兽繁育中心：2级孵化加速、2级成长加速、1级胃口旺盛】（特殊效果：略）→【2级巨兽繁育中心：3级孵化加速、3级成长加速、1级胃口旺盛】（特殊效果：略）（占地面积50*50米→60*60米）
He discovered a characteristic, which was also confirmed by the previous upgrade of the Brave Training Ground: the area occupied by these advanced buildings would increase with each upgrade.

He then examined the Tianxing Arrow Corridor and the Yanwu Armory and confirmed that this was the case. In this light, the value of the expansion card continues to increase.
