The King Of Passive Skills - Chapter 578
578 Level-six engineering Grandmaster
After distributing the God equipment mold to moving heart, Zhang Shan kept all the other items that the BOSS dropped for himself.
Other than the blueprint for the barbatian cannon, the rest were all rubbish.
!!
If his friends did not want it, then Zhang Shan would keep it for himself.
Of course.
it was not that cruise’s items were bad that he said they were trash.
In fact, it would be good enough if every BOSS dropped a useful item.
Cruz would drop a divine weapon mold and a level 6 engineering recipe.
To Zhang Shan, this was already considered very generous.
if every real name boss had such a drop, zhang shan would jump in joy.
……
After distributing the items, Zhang Shan brought his friends and continued to farm monsters with their backs against the Beacon tower.
as for wind and cloud blade, he was farming monsters while contacting people everywhere.
He wanted to help Zhang Shan find two level 5 engineering blueprints as soon as possible.
As long as he could buy two level 5 blueprints, Zhang Shan would be able to start forging the barbatian cannon.
This was a matter of whether they could defend the city or not.
Regarding this matter, Windcloud blade was very concerned.
He was even more experienced than Zhang Shan.
After all, the cities that they took down later would be theirs. Zhang Shan would not need to occupy any more cities.
zhang shan had the demon-suppressing city, and that was enough.
He didn’t need to occupy a Second City.
Of course.
If there were more cities, he could occupy one more.
It was just that there were only four demon cities nearby. It just so happened that each of his four companions occupied one city.
Zhang Shan would definitely not fight with his friends for the position of city Lord.
……
Time passed slowly. They had been farming in the middle of the demon village for a few hours.
They farmed until 12 o ‘clock in the evening, but the demon strongmen around them didn’t decrease.
During this period, Zhang Shan even tried to break out of the encirclement alone.
However, Zhang Shan had only taken a few steps before he was crushed by the dense crowd of demon strongmen, unable to move.
Left with no choice, Zhang Shan could only go all out and activate all his berserk skills to return to the vicinity of the Beacon tower.
Seeing that the number of wild monsters around them didn’t decrease, everyone was annoyed.
They had come here to attack the demonic city, not to farm monsters.
Right now, they were surrounded by monsters that were continuously farming monsters. What was going on?
while they were killing monsters, everyone would run to the top of the platform from time to time to see if the number of demon strongmen in the distance had decreased.
However, every time they ran up excitedly, they would come down in a depressed mood.
No matter how hard they tried, the monsters around the small hill were still there.
at least, they could not see any changes with their naked eyes.
In the beginning, they were still very enthusiastic, but as time went on, everyone became more and more annoyed.
It wasn’t a good thing to keep farming like this.
Especially after midnight, when they all needed to sleep.
however, everyone was still surrounded by monsters, which was very annoying.
The little fairy said gloomily.
“How long do we have to farm before we can attack the demon race’s city?”
how would we know? if we don’t kill more than half of the monsters, we won’t be able to get out of here.
“then what should we do? Are we just going to keep killing monsters like this? How long will it take?”
it’s hard to say. Maybe I’ll only need half a day, maybe a few days.
no way. I’m afraid I’ll go crazy if I farm for a few days.
” it doesn’t matter even if we grind for a few days. don’t we usually take it slow like this when we’re grinding monsters? ”
“How is this the same? there’s a demon city at the foot of the mountain to fight, but we’re here killing monsters. isn’t that awkward?”
“Don’t be too anxious, take it slowly. The demon City at the foot of the mountain won’t run away, so what are you worried about?”
“Alright,” he said.
Zhang Shan suggested after looking at the time.
“Why don’t we stop here for today? everyone, go offline early and sleep.”
It was already midnight, and it was time to sleep. They couldn’t rush out today anyway.
There was no need to waste any more time. He would continue farming tomorrow and try to reach the foot of the mountain.
“Alright, I’ll go offline and sleep. I’ll continue tomorrow.”
by the way, brother Guan, you have to be early tomorrow. You have to go online and stall the monsters first. Otherwise, we’ll be killed by the monsters very easily.
“Yes.”
Of course, Zhang Shan knew that he had to come online earlier than his friends.
Without him, if the monsters were stuck, his other companions would have been easily killed.
Unless they all went online at the same time and worked together, they would not be able to block the monsters with the terrain.
But how could they be online at the same time?
There must be some order.
Therefore, it would be safest for Zhang Shan to come online first.
This was because Zhang Shan was alone. Even if he had to face many small monsters, he was not afraid.
just as everyone was about to go offline to sleep.
At this moment, Windcloud blade suddenly said.
” wait a minute, i found a level 5 engineering recipe. i’m getting someone to buy it now. i’ll be able to get it soon. ”
Hearing wind and cloud blade’s words, Zhang Shan could not help but be overjoyed.
There was such a thing?
Wind and cloud blade was really quite capable.
He had searched for a long time, but he had not been able to buy a level 5 engineering blueprint. On the other hand, wind and cloud blade had only used one night to find the source.
It had to be said that a wily old fox like wind cloud blade really had a lot of connections.
Zhang Shan hurriedly asked wind cloud blade.
“How many can I buy? is there only one?”
Zhang Shan was more concerned about this issue.
If they could only buy a level 5 engineering blueprint, it would not be of much use and would not solve their problem.
He had to be able to buy two of them.
Wind and cloud blade replied.
“there are two, they will arrive soon.”
“Yidao, you’re really something. You can even buy this. Where did you find the source?”
where else can I buy it from? I’ll look for those game merchants.
Hearing wind and cloud blade’s words, Zhang Shan was shocked.
“F * ck, are game merchants that awesome? They actually have a supply of this kind of thing?”
“Don’t underestimate the game merchants. They have a lot of connections. as long as you’re willing to pay a high price, they’ll probably be able to sell even god tool molds.”
“Alright,” he said.
Zhang Shan’s knowledge had been broadened.
Originally, he thought that the game merchants were just playing around and using some cheap buy high sell tactics.
Furthermore, they would not have anything good in their hands.
After all, the truly good items were very rare. The majority of them were in the hands of the various large guilds, so they shouldn’t be able to obtain them.
Now, it seemed that Zhang Shan had underestimated him.
Those guys who were game merchants had some skills.
After a short while, wind and cloud blade had traded the two level 5 engineering blueprints to Zhang Shan.
At the same time, he ridiculed.
f * ck, these game merchants are really evil. A level 5 engineering blueprint is actually sold for 100 gold coins each.
“It’s so dark? Weren’t all Level 5 engineering blueprints worth around 100000 gold coins? unless it’s an extremely rare blueprint, the price is usually stable.”
” we’ll have to bid for the regular price ourselves. we’ll have to wait at the auction house to bid. otherwise, where will these black-hearted merchants make money? ”
f * ck, that’s too much. They dare to earn ten times the price difference? ”
what can we do about it? he can only grab people like us who are in urgent need and slaughter us.
Zhang Shan said to wind cloud blade.
“I’ll transfer the money to you.”
“No need, do I need you to pay for this? Hurry up and level up your engineering, and then build the barbatian cannon. I’ll go buy the materials the next time I return to the city. We’ll split the cost of the materials equally.”
“Yes, brother Guan, you can do the work. We’ll pay for it. You’re not allowed to charge us for our labor, hehe.”
hearing wind and cloud blade’s words, zhang shan did not say anything else.
This was also good. He couldn’t ask him to pay and work at the same time.
He would let his friends provide the materials themselves, and he would only be responsible for making the product.
Zhang Shan took wind and cloud blade and looked at the blueprint that he had traded.
He couldn’t help but shake his head.
These two level 5 blueprints were both trash blueprints. Other than using them to increase his proficiency, they were completely worthless.
One of them was a level 60 orange fire gun blueprint, and the other was a toy, The Jumping Frog blueprint.
These two blueprints actually cost a million gold coins each. These game merchants were really evil.
But it didn’t matter.
To Zhang Shan, the purpose of these two blueprints was to increase his proficiency.
As for the product, it didn’t matter if it was useful or not.
As long as he could raise his engineering level to Level 6, he would be able to do it.
Zhang Shan said to his friends after receiving the two level 5 engineering blueprints.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll go back and level up my engineering.”
” okay, we’ll be going offline first. all the best, brother guan. ”
His friends went offline one after another. Zhang Shan took out a positioning ball and marked the coordinates of his current position.
After that, he used the positioning Pearl to teleport to the demon-suppressing city, and then through the teleportation array of the demon-suppressing city, he was teleported to Dangyang city.
As for why he had to take such a big detour to return to Dangyang city? This was something that could not be helped.
Because in front of Zhang Shan, there were still countless small monsters.
When players were attacked, they could not cast a spell to return to the city.
Zhang Shan could only use the positioning Pearl to be transported away.
Zhang Shan’s fixed teleportation points were only the demon suppression city and the Imperial City.
He had left a coordinate in the demon-suppressing city because Zhang Shan had to go there occasionally to collect gold coins.
and the coordinates of the palace was because of zhang shan. he had to go there every day to train his mount.
as for the third coordinate of the positioning ball, zhang shan had always kept it for emergency use.
For example, he had set the third coordinate on the Beacon tower in the middle of the small village.
This was so that he could directly teleport back the next day after he was done with his business.
……
After returning to Dangyang city, Zhang Shan first teleported to the warehouse and took out some of the materials he had stored.
then, he teleported to the auction house and started to bid for a batch of materials according to the blueprint’s requirements.
The two level 5 blueprints that wind and cloud blade had obtained had resulted in trash products.
Fortunately, the materials required for these two blueprints weren’t too expensive, and they were all common materials that could be easily bought at the auction house.
other than the orange-colored material, there were a lot of other materials in the auction house.
Zhang Shan roughly estimated that the price of the materials for these two drawings was about ten to twenty thousand gold coins.
And if Zhang Shan wanted to raise his proficiency to the maximum, he would probably need to prepare close to 300 sets of materials for each drawing.
According to his previous experience, the first 100 sets of materials had a very low chance of making a finished product. He would just treat them as a stepping stone.
As for the remaining 200 sets of materials, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to raise his proficiency to 100.
Zhang Shan quickly swept through the auction house and bought 300 sets of the required materials for the two drawings.
after settling the materials, zhang shan teleported to the guild residence and used his guild contribution points to enter the workshop.
Zhang Shan took out two blueprints and immediately used them to learn.
After learning the blueprint, Zhang Shan opened the life profession panel to take a look.
Level 5 engineering.
Intermediate arrow tower crafting (proficiency 100)
Grotte fire gun crafting (proficiency 0)
Making Jumping Frog (proficiency 0)
Although Zhang Shan had already learned these two blueprints, he had yet to successfully create a product.
Hence, their proficiency was zero.
As long as Zhang Shan successfully made 100 finished products, he could raise his proficiency to 100.
He had 100 proficiency points for both of them. In addition to the large number of intermediate arrow towers that he had made previously, his proficiency points had long reached 100.
The three proficiency points added up to 300 proficiency points. That way, Zhang Shan could learn the level 6 engineering blueprint.
His engineering level was now a level 6 Grandmaster.
Now that he had the blueprint and the materials, he just had to keep producing products and increase his proficiency.
everything was done with great enthusiasm.
Zhang Shan took out a set of materials for the glot fire gun and placed it on the operating table.
Soon, a small flame was ignited, and a cloud of green smoke rose.
Without a doubt, the production failed.
it didn’t matter.
This was only his first attempt, so it was normal to fail. After he failed 80 times, he should be able to succeed.
Although he had failed, Zhang Shan was not discouraged.
It was normal to fail the first time.
If he could produce a product on his first try, that would be a heaven-defying thing.
Zhang Shan once again placed the materials on the operating table.
Another failure.
This process repeated continuously. Zhang Shan kept on placing the materials on the operating table.
He failed again and again.
however, zhang shan’s face was expressionless. he continued to place the materials.
Even after he had used up more than one hundred and twenty sets of materials, Zhang Shan still had not succeeded in making his first glot flintlock.
This made Zhang Shan a little depressed.
Although it was normal to fail when making an engineered product for the first time, it was not a big deal.
However, he had already failed more than a hundred times. This was a little abnormal.
Even though the materials used to make the glot flintlock were not too expensive.
On average, the price of each material was about 20000 gold coins.
however, failing over a hundred times in a row meant that over two million gold coins would be wasted.
Even if Zhang Shan did not lack money, he should not be so wasteful.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shan could not help but shake his head.
The life professions in the New World were really burning money.
Even though he had experienced failure after failure, Zhang Shan still continued to put in the materials.
If he failed, he would try again.
It was just money, he could afford it.
Zhang Shan did not know how many times he had put in the ingredients.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed on the operating table, and an exquisite flintlock slowly appeared on the operating table.
Seeing this, Zhang Shan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had finally made his first flintlock.
How many times had he failed?
Zhang Shan took a look. He still had more than 130 sets of materials for the Grott flintlock in his bag.
okay.
He had failed a total of more than 160 times before he successfully made his first flintlock. This kind of probability was quite ridiculous.
However, now that he had made the first one, the rest would be easy to handle.
The subsequent production should be much easier.
zhang shan continued to put in the materials.
Time passed slowly. Zhang Shan put in the materials again and again. Some failed, some succeeded.
When he was about to put in more materials, he realized that the flintlock materials in his backpack had all been used up.
What the f * ck, 300 sets of materials, isn’t that enough to raise his proficiency?
Zhang Shan opened the life profession panel to check.
[ grotte fire gun crafting (proficiency 86) ]
F ** k, there really wasn’t enough.
He didn’t say anything else and continued to buy materials.
Zhang Shan left the Guild workshop, teleported to the auction house, and continued to buy 20 sets of materials for the flintlock.
Then, he returned to the Guild residence and continued to make flintlocks.
After a short while, Zhang Shan had used up all the materials for the flintlock.
he opened the life profession panel again.
Grotte fire gun crafting (proficiency 100)
It was good.
seeing this, zhang shan nodded his head in satisfaction.
He had finally managed to raise his proficiency by 100 points.
Even though he had spent 20 more sets of materials than he had expected.
But it didn’t matter. 20 sets of materials wasn’t a big deal. It would only cost a few hundred thousand gold coins.
zhang shan was rich and generous. he did not care about such a small amount of money. as long as the matter was done, it was fine.
With a blueprint completed, he no longer needed to make the glot flintlock.
This level 60 orange fire gun wouldn’t sell for much in the auction house.
He didn’t even have enough materials. He was far from it.
A normal orange equipment would only cost around 500 to 2000 gold coins.
For example, the glot flintlock, which was beyond the player’s current level, could not be sold for a high price.
he estimated that even if it was sold for 500 gold coins, no one would buy it.
One had to know that for Zhang Shan to make a gun, even if he had a 100% success rate, he would still need 20000 Yuan of material capital.
The more products like this one made, the more losses one would suffer.
Since he already had enough proficiency, what was the point of doing it?
He could just treat it as if it didn’t exist.
zhang shan kept the flintlock on the control panel and started to make the jumping frog.
This kind of toy-type engineering product was even more of a scam.
It had no use at all and could only be used to increase proficiency.
It was no wonder that the game merchants still had blueprints.
Only people like Zhang Shan, who wanted to level up in engineering, would need such a blueprint.
The others would not even look at it.
To think that such a trashy blueprint could be sold for 1000000 gold coins per piece. It had to be said that wind and cloud blade was a fat sheep today.
However, they had no choice. Who asked them to stretch their heads over?
It would be weird if someone didn’t rip you off ruthlessly.
……
Zhang Shan placed the materials for making The Jumping Frog on the operating table and started making.
One by one, the ingredients were placed on the operating table.
this time, zhang shan’s luck was not bad. he only used less than 200 sets of materials and his proficiency had reached 100.
As for the remaining materials, Zhang Shan did not continue to make them.
There was no need for that.
A toy product like The Jumping Frog would be trash if it was made.
As for the remaining materials, he would store them in the warehouse later. Perhaps they could be of use in the future.
Zhang Shan opened the life profession panel to check.
Intermediate arrow tower crafting (proficiency 100)
[ gro’s musket crafting (proficiency 100) ]
Making Jumping Frog (100 proficiency points)
It was good.
The proficiency of the three mountain blueprints had all risen to 100.
he could now learn a level 6 engineering recipe.
From his backpack, Zhang Shan took out the blueprint for the Barbadian cannon and immediately started learning how to use it.
He opened the life profession panel.
Level 6 engineering master.
Barbarian cannon blueprint (0 proficiency).
not bad, not bad. i’ve finally learned this blueprint.
This meant that Zhang Shan’s engineering level had already risen to Level 6.
Now, as long as he had the materials, he could start to make this kind of city-guarding weapon.
Once they took down the demonic city, wind cloud blade and the others could go and collect the materials.
As long as the materials were in his hands, Zhang Shan could start mass production.
