Ark Journey

It's not that there is no such magic in Sarkaz witchcraft that can make a person exert greater strength in a short period of time, but there is always a huge price to pay afterwards, and after the effect of this potion wears off, there will only be slight fatigue.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mercenaries around him were filled with regret that they had not taken action earlier. In their hearts, the leader Hedley still held great importance.

"A total of 48 bottles and 6 pieces of synthetic jade."

"Row."

Putting down the synthetic jade, while Xue Zhi was packing the potions, Hedley said to the mercenaries around him: "After my personal testing, the effects of these potions can be guaranteed. You can buy them with confidence. You can also exchange them with the merits in the mercenary group."

His words completely confirmed the authenticity of what Xue Zhi had gotten into trouble with.

After Hedley left, a large group of mercenaries immediately surrounded him with Originium fragments.

Xue Zhi plans to use some hunger marketing, with high-end products sold in limited quantities each day, and no restrictions on low-end products. After all, he cannot empty the savings of these mercenaries in one go. He also plans to sell enchanted weapons and water of purification later.

After the initial chaos, the mercenaries quickly formed a team under Xue Zhi's organization. They all knew him more or less. Team W had released many combat records. The momentum and terrifying strength of one man against ten thousand made every mercenary have a certain degree of respect for Xue Zhi.

Soon, all the test tubes that Xue Zhi had replaced were used up. There were about three hundred people in Hedley's mercenary group. On average, each person could not get more than one tube, not to mention that some people bought several bottles at a time.

After packing up the empty table, Xue Zhi glanced at the line that still had quite a few people and said with a smile, "We have sold out today. You are welcome to come back tomorrow at the same time."

The mercenaries who failed to buy the item all left with sighs.

The booming business on the first day of opening made Xue Zhi in a very good mood. He returned to W's tent with a box of change, but she was not there. Perhaps she had gone out to practice with someone.

Xue Zhi didn't care too much. He counted the harvest this morning.

12 pieces of synthetic jade and source stone fragments can get 497 points.

【+2897】

After recharging everything, Xue Zhi scratched her head as she listened to the points increasing in her mind: "Although business is booming, I don't think I'm making much. No wonder the old people say 'killing people and setting fires will earn you a gold belt'."

However, no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat. Goods need to be sold and people need to be served. Only in this way can it be considered healthy.

【-twenty four】

Xue Zhi exchanged for 500 test tubes and also exchanged for a bucket of healing potion. It's time for new things.

After spending some time filling up the test tubes, Xue Zhi walked out of the tent and began to take out weapons from her save file.

【-twenty four】

Iron swords shining with a faint blue light were spread all over the ground, along with slightly worn longbows.

Although these bows appear slightly worn, they are actually of good quality, and many of them have Strength IV and Durability III.

All of them were obtained by fishing after the puppet was equipped with a fishing core. At the beginning, Xue Zhi would keep them, but as she caught more and more, she was too lazy to deal with them and just threw them into the alchemy furnace to refine them into source materials for magic infusion.

Xue Zhi didn't replace too many of these items because he was worried that they wouldn't suit the mercenaries' tastes and wouldn't sell. If he had more weapon modules, he would have replaced them with more spears, because based on his observations over the past few days, both mercenaries and soldiers used spears more often.

An inch longer is an inch stronger. It is no joke that facing a gun with a single knife and escaping death is a possibility.

Just as Xue Zhi was sitting cross-legged on the ground fiddling with these things, W came back. She looked at the weapons spread out on the ground outside her tent and asked Xue Zhi, "How is your business?"

Xue Zhi put down the things in his hand and smiled at W. Then he saw the sweat on W's forehead: "It's a good start. Are you looking for someone to practice with?"

Sitting next to Xue Zhi, W picked up an iron sword and swung it: "Well, I fought with Ines for a while. If you don't exercise, won't your body function decline?"

Xue Zhi had never thought about this question, because his strength was not acquired through training, but was "natural" and was even constantly increasing. This "stable" body was still constantly improving in all aspects until today.

"Not at the moment, and even if I want to find someone to practice with, I can't find one. Or you can ask Hedley to come and practice with me?"

"Forget it. The last blood demon commissioner we met was killed by you in two moves. Hedley might not be able to hold out longer than him. If you really hurt him, Ines will come after us to fight. But..." W said halfway, and she turned over and sat on Xue Zhi's lap lightly, holding his face and kissing him gently: "I was so hot from fighting with Ines just now, and now I can fight with you for a few moves~"

Responding to W's words, Xue Zhi took the time to reply: "It's still daytime, and there are so many people around."

"Don't worry, they won't come this way."

......

......

After a while, feeling satisfied, W leaned on Xue Zhi and stroked her still numb and bloated belly.

"Although we are of different races, I will eventually get pregnant if this continues. What should I do then?"

"Give birth to him. This is my first child. Then we'll find a good place to raise him and give him the best education and the happiest childhood. If you can't bear to leave your old brothers, I can even take them away and find a place where they can live without being disturbed, and then find some decent job."

Listening to Xue Zhi's serious tone, W was also very happy. Although they had not been together for a long time, she always felt that he could do anything.

"You are a normal person, and I am infected. Aren't you worried that your child will be born with mineral disease?"

"It's a real problem, but there will always be a way to fix it."

Although Xue Zhi's race is very strange, the first one is undoubtedly "human", so if they want to have a child, the mineralogy disease may not be able to infect him, but this kind of thing is hard to say.

And even if she was infected with oripathy, Xue Zhi could use the purified water to suppress the degree of infection to the level of a normal person.

There is still a long way to go. The racial differences plus Xue Zhi's current powerful strength may make it difficult to have children.

"Well, these are things for the future. What we need to focus on now is the next mission."

Without continuing to talk about that long-standing issue, W reached into his clothes and took out some papers.

Xue Zhi looked at her full breasts, smooth white back and the beautiful curve that contracted at the waistline and then rapidly expanded at the hips. She suddenly wanted to have two more rounds, but forget it. The girl was planning to get down to business and there was plenty of time in the evening.

W unfolded the paper and read the words on it to Xue Zhi:

"The next mission is... in five days, we will intercept a convoy from Sakota coming here. They are transporting a lot of scarce medicines. If the mission is successful, we need to hand over at least 2 tons of various medicines. The rest can be handed over or kept. This is a lucrative job that Hedley has been fighting for for a long time."

"Sakota? They're coming to Kazdel? Isn't this like walking into a tiger's mouth?"

"As long as the money is high enough, there will always be people willing to come, not to mention those Sakota infected people who were expelled from Lateran and have difficulty surviving. Moreover, they are very dangerous. The mineral disease makes them suffer while enhancing their Originium skills."

"interesting."

Touching his chin, Xue Zhi thought about getting a few guns from this operation to see what kind of strange structure this gun-shaped staff had.

"It seems I have to put in more effort. I'm very curious about those guns."

"You really are becoming more and more like a Sarkaz mercenary."

Seeing that the serious business was over, Xue Zhi turned over and pressed W down again, grinning, "What will the Sarkaz mercenaries do when they face a beautiful girl like you?"

W was not to be outdone, and decisively put her arms around his neck and kissed him fiercely: "Of course you'll make me beg for mercy~"

......

......

Chapter 34: Big Profit

The next morning, as soon as Xue Zhi, who had prepared a large amount of goods, sat down, mercenaries came over with money.

Perhaps they heard about the new mission and prepared to buy potions to strengthen themselves, so today's business is very prosperous, not to mention the new good product - healing potion.

In order to demonstrate the effect of the healing potion, Xue Zhi went out alone last night and stayed in the wild for a long time just to catch a sand beast.

So this morning, the miserable cries of the sand beast resounded throughout the oasis. Out of humanitarianism, Xue Zhi stabbed it a few times and then knocked it out. However, when testing some major projects such as the recovery of severed limbs, the poor little thing woke up again due to the pain.

However, its pain is worthwhile. The healing potion has shown a powerful effect on it, whether taken internally or applied externally, it can quickly heal wounds and even repair internal organs.

Mercenaries who saw the effect rushed to buy it. Xue Zhi even saw a few ruthless people who took advantage of the free trial package he provided to directly stab themselves in the arm and experience the effect of the potion with their own bodies.

Considering that these ruthless people made her business better, Xue Zhi gave them a few bottles of medicine.

Before noon, all the potions prepared yesterday were sold out. Just as the mercenaries were about to leave, Xue Zhi stopped them and said, "Hey, everyone, I have some new stuff here. Do you want to see it?"

This tripped up many mercenaries again, and they all turned around to wait and see what new thing Xue Zhi took out.

Ten one-handed swords and ten longbows were placed on the table in order. Old Fatty, who came here on W's orders to liven up the atmosphere for Xue Zhi and buy some potions for himself, could tell at a glance that those swords were the same as the ones that had cut off his spear before.

The enchantment levels of the swords are similar, and they are all specially selected by Xue Zhi, good weapons with at least Sharpness III and Durability II.

Fearing that someone might snatch it from him, Fatty rushed to the table. No one here knew better than him how terrifying these simple weapons casually placed on the table were. "Deputy Captain, how much is this sword? I want one."

"Oh? If you want one, it's not impossible, but I remember you used a gun."

“No conflict, no conflict.”

"Okay, a 300 synthetic jade, take your pick. This is a fine work comparable to D32 steel products. It is very reliable whether it is chopping or transmitting Originium skills."

"Of course, I've experienced it myself."

Picking out a sword that he liked at random, Fatty happily pushed 300 pieces of synthetic jade in front of Xue Zhi. He had to find a craftsman to make a scabbard for the sword.

6 points were easily obtained. It seems that the potions were sold at a low price before.

After Fatty left, a mercenary came over with his sword that had several notches on it.

"Boss, is it okay to clash my sword with yours?"

"random."

Xue Zhi waved his hands nonchalantly. He might not be able to cut iron like mud, but he couldn't break one with his strength, so it was even more impossible for these people to break it.

After getting into position, the mercenary took Xue Zhi's new sword and slashed at his own weapon.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, the mercenary's originally scarred weapon was cut off in an instant, and there was even a little trace of melting on the smooth broken end.

"What a sword!"

With a word of praise, the mercenary put away the broken sword and left after throwing down 300 pieces of synthetic jade.

After that, many people came to buy swords, but few people touched the somewhat old bows until a mercenary with particularly strong arms came over to try shooting. However, he failed to pull the bow at the first try. Then the mercenaries realized that this bow was also a good thing.

While Xue Zhi was busy with her business, W was having a passionate knife fight with Ines.

"Aren't you tired? You work so late every night and you're still so energetic during the day."

With dark circles under her eyes getting darker, Ines opened her W dagger and retreated with the help of her shadow's agility.

"No, don't you think I'm very energetic now?"

W approached quickly again. This was indeed very strange. Apart from the fact that Xue Zhi didn't feel tired, she didn't feel tired even though she was always tossed around until very late before going to bed. In fact, her body felt lighter and stronger, without any discomfort.

Perhaps a rumor she had heard once was true, that this Sarkaz with an arrow-shaped tail was a so-called "succubus" that specialized in sucking men's essence for a living. There was evidence, that was that most of the prostitutes in the Scar Mall were of her kind.

"Also, Inès, have you been hiding enough!?"

W, who had been being kite-fed, suddenly shouted. She took off the exquisite toy that Xue Zhi had given her this morning from her waist, and then pulled the trigger hard.

A soft-head grenade that had been loaded long ago was instantly detonated, and it crashed straight into Inès at an extremely fast speed.

Inès was hit hard in the ribs before she could react, but soft-tipped grenades had little effect on Earthlings, let alone Terra Superman.

Being hit in this sparring meant failure. After taking a few breaths, Ines picked up the grenade warhead that had just hit her and asked, "What is this?"

After hanging up the grenade launcher, W walked over and said, "You haven't seen this before, right? This is a grenade with its own fuse, just like a mortar. Xue Zhigang gave it to me this morning along with another catapult that launches irregular explosives."

Glancing at W's proud look, Ines threw away the limp bullet in her hand and said, "He at least understands you."

"That is."

Chapter 35: Butterfly flapping its wings

Knowing that the next mission is to attack Sakota's convoy, the entire mercenary group has been gearing up for the past few days. By the way, Xue Zhi's business has also become extremely prosperous. Perhaps because Sakota's gun hurts more, the healing potions that come later sell better than the previous three.

Xue Zhi, who made a fortune from the war, earned almost 5000 points a day just by selling potions, not to mention the weapons she sold.

After becoming familiar with most of the mercenaries, Xue Zhi also commissioned them to search for previous chemistry books for W to study in order to improve his strength.

The reward for the commission was very generous, and the mercenaries gladly accepted it. However, these rough guys said that the commission was both simple and easy, after all, it was just to find a few books, and there was no need to risk their lives; it was also difficult, as they could not judge the content of the books. Several quick-acting mercenaries had already been deceived, and what they brought to Xue Zhi were incomprehensible things.

During the days of selling goods, Xue Zhi was not idle. With the help of the books found by the mercenaries, he began to learn Kazdel, a language that is very similar to German. Perhaps because his brain was strengthened, he made rapid progress.

During this period, a very interesting thing happened. Hedley learned from the mercenaries that Xue Zhi was collecting books for W to study. This somewhat vicissitudes man visited Xue Zhi when W was away and expressed his gratitude. In his heart, the identity of W, this little girl, was almost a rebellious sister or daughter.

Xue Zhi chatted with him for a while and made a decision.

The time traveler gave the mercenary leader some books - the original German versions of "The German Ideology", "The Communist Manifesto", "Das Kapital", "Anti-Dühring", "The Holy Family", essays from the "German-French Yearbook", and some anthologies.

The reason for giving these books to Hedley is that, by recalling Hedley's performance in the plot of Arknights, Xue Zhi felt that he had the possibility to apply Marxism to this land. This land is not beautiful, and suffering occupies most of the time. In addition, Xue Zhi only knew these, otherwise he would have given Hedley more. He did not have any in-depth research on this, and could only extract the names of these books from his memory of the postgraduate entrance examination three years ago.

As for what this land will become, that is not what Xue Zhi considers. Anyway, it is already rotten to a certain extent. Capitalism is better than the current situation. Moreover, as an "extraterritorial evil demon", it is normal for him to not care about the future of this world (happy).

After changing the books and handing them to Hedley, Xue Zhi said, "Hedley, these books contain the power to change this land.

And you have to know that specific problems require specific analysis. Kazdel's situation will not be exactly the same as what is described in the book, and what you need to do is to extract useful knowledge from the book, and then combine it with Kazdel's reality to create a methodology that suits you."

Hedley, who had only wanted to chat with Xue Zhi, had his head full of question marks when a bunch of books and a meaningless sentence were stuffed into his head.
