Chapter 442: Dragon and Tiger Feast, Heavenly Thunder Leads
Chapter 442: Dragon and Tiger Feast, Heavenly Thunder Leads
After buying the materials, Xiao Jie transformed into a goshawk and headed straight for Howling Wind City.
Being able to fly means convenience and you can come and go freely.
In less than twenty minutes, they arrived at the Danding Hall in Xiaofeng City.
He spent 50 taels of silver to rent the Nine Yang Creation Furnace and began to prepare the Dragon and Tiger Feast.
Soon, eight dragon and tiger feasts were freshly prepared.
After arriving at the auction house and hesitating for a while, Xiao Jie finally decided to sell it for 100 taels each. The reason was that poor people definitely couldn't afford it. Even if it was sold for 50 taels, poor people still couldn't afford it. After all, 4 attributes are icing on the cake for most players, and there is not much difference between having it or not. Ordinary people might as well buy a good equipment or learn a good skill with 50 taels of silver.
It's definitely more cost-effective than adding 4 attribute points.
But for the rich, 50 or 100 taels are actually not a problem and they can buy it.
As long as you can quickly improve your strength, it won’t be a problem if you just spend money to solve the problem.
This can be seen from the sale of the Corpse King Blood Marrow Pill. You should know that the Corpse King Blood Marrow Pill can only increase the upper limit of health by 15 points, but it can be sold for 70 taels per pill, and there is no worry at all that it cannot be sold.
From this it seems that the rich people in this game really have plenty of money. Of course, one advantage of the Corpse King Blood Marrow Pill is that there is no limit on the number of times it can be taken. In theory, it can be taken as much as you want. This leads to better sales and naturally a higher price.
But the 4 attributes of Longhu Feast are definitely more valuable than the 15 health limit, so it is no problem to sell it for 100 taels.
But before cheating, Xiao Jie still thought of his friends.
Xiao Jie himself has already eaten the dragon meat version, so he doesn't need this thing for his teammates. If anyone needs it, he can give an internal price.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Hey, I made some Dragon and Tiger Feast. Does anyone want it? If anyone wants it, I’ll give it to you at a lower price, 50 taels per portion.
Ye Luo: I don’t need that. I’ve eaten the dragon meat version.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Hmm? When did it happen?
Ye Luo: I exchanged it with points from the guild.
Deidara: I'm a magician, so I don't need it.
Bai Ze: I don’t need it either.
In the end, only An Ran and Jiu Jianxian bought one each.
50 taels of silver per portion, 100 taels will be deposited directly into the account.
Xiao Jie put the remaining six lots directly in the auction house, two at 100 taels each, two at 120 taels each, and two at 150 taels each.
The next step is to wait patiently.
Seeing that it was still early and Xiao Jie had nothing to do, he had no intention of killing monsters to level up. He was already level 35, which meant that monsters below level 26 would not give him any experience.
Even a level 30 monster only gives 50% of the experience.
Most of the maps cannot be upgraded. Some high-risk maps do have high-level monsters to fight, but these maps have basically not been explored, and there is very little intelligence available. If Xiao Jie goes there alone, it would be quite dangerous even with his current strength.
So I decided to give up after thinking about it. There are really not many suitable maps for security upgrades.
While Xiao Jie was bored, he suddenly had an idea and remembered Gu Feiyu's [Academic Introduction] skill.
This skill is still very useful. It is a skill that increases comprehension by a percentage. The higher the comprehension, the more useful it is. Comprehension is something that you can never have too much, so you must learn it.
There happened to be an academy in Xiaofeng City, so Xiao Jie went straight to the academy, found the dean of the academy, and explained his purpose.
"Sir, I would like to study here for a while, please give me some advice."
The dean of the academy looked at Xiao Jie and shook his head: "Our academy teaches the teachings of sages. The reason why there are so many killings in the world is because there are so many brave and aggressive people in the world. The way of sages is about peace and letting go. People like you who are brave and aggressive should not learn. You should go and don't disturb the students' studies."
Damn, so disrespectful?
Even the personal connections were not triggered.
But this game has a high degree of freedom. I'm not afraid of anyone when it comes to talking nonsense.
"Sir, you are wrong. If it weren't for us brave and ruthless people who fight against demons, how could you students study here in peace? You would have been eaten by the monsters long ago."
The old man shook his head and said, "No, no, don't you know that it is your thoughts that have caused many conflicts in the world? If everyone could be calm and peaceful, how could there be so many evil people who become bandits and commit murders?
As for demons and monsters, don’t you know that the most evil thing is the human heart? Ghosts and gods are also transformed from humans. As long as you concentrate on studying the way of saints, even monsters can be transformed into humans.
Your words are vulgar and definitely not a seed of learning, so it is better not to disturb you."
After saying this, he shook the fan, covering half of his face, looking indifferent.
Xiao Jie was speechless. He couldn't beat this guy up. Well, it seemed that he really couldn't learn this thing.
"So only people who don't know martial arts can learn the way of the sage?"
"Of course."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it seemed that Gu Feiyu’s idea was right.
'Many plots can only be triggered if certain conditions are met'. It seems that not learning combat skills and not participating in combat are prerequisites for acquiring academic skills.
In other words, only newcomers who have just entered the game have the opportunity to learn this skill.
As long as you learn combat skills, you will no longer have access to this skill.
It seems that there may be many skills that are also limited, such as level, attributes and other conditions. If the conditions are too low, it won’t work, and if the conditions are too good, it won’t work either.
Fortunately, I didn't spend money directly at the beginning, but relied on my own gaming talent to explore the game, otherwise I would have missed a lot of adventures.
Well, let’s find a way to continue making money.
In the next few days, Xiao Jie kept thinking of ways to make money.
In addition to making various cooking products, you also go to various maps to brush materials.
Relying on the combination of flying ability and eagle vision, he can freely go to many hidden maps in the mountains and dangerous areas, which gives him a considerable advantage in collecting materials.
Of course, the bulk of the money still comes from selling the Dragon and Tiger Feast. Xiao Jie didn't make too many. For one thing, the materials were limited, and dragon meat was not that easy to get. Only a few were sold in the auction house every now and then.
Moreover, the sales of this thing are destined to be limited, after all, there won’t be too many rich people.
When Xiao Jie went to the auction house the next day, the two lots worth 100 taels were sold. Xiao Jie then made ten lots in one go and put two of them up for auction.
For three consecutive days, all the ones worth 100 taels were sold out, but the more expensive ones could not be sold.
It seems that 100 taels is the general psychological price of the players. He did not remove the four high-priced ones, but hung them there for comparison. Only with the comparison does 100 taels seem cheap.
At the same time, he was also paying attention to Gu Feiyu's game progress. Gu Feiyu continued to learn the way of sages from the scholar, but the annoying thing was that this academic introduction could not be upgraded.
It seems that you have to wait until you reach level 10 and change your job to a scholar before you can continue to upgrade.
Xiao Jie vaguely remembered that he met a player with the scholar profession in Zhenhun Pass, but he didn't know what combat abilities this profession had.
Unfortunately it's been a long time and I can't remember the name anymore.
On this day, Xiao Jie was collecting materials again.
Suddenly a private message popped up.
Longteng Sihai: Brother Suifeng, the information you asked me to investigate has yielded results. There is a thunderstorm in the southwest of Longhua Prefecture.
When Xiao Jie saw this, he was immediately delighted.
This is the information that Xiao Jie specifically asked the guild to pay attention to. There is a weather system in this game, and the weather will change in different regions and at different times.
In order for the goshawk to evolve into a storm thunder eagle, it must complete the Heavenly Thunder Reception Ceremony and must withstand three Heavenly Thunders without dying.
Therefore, stormy weather is naturally required for this to be implemented.
It is difficult to encounter a storm by luck alone, but since it is a game, you can naturally rely on the intelligence network to obtain the weather conditions of each map.
After waiting for three days, he finally encountered her. Without hesitation, Xiao Jie took action immediately.
Instead of leaving immediately, he went straight to the auction house.
Xiao Jie was not sure how powerful the heavenly thunder was, but it was definitely not weak. With his low blood volume, he was not sure whether he could withstand three heavenly thunders and survive.
Moreover, after transforming into a goshawk, the blood volume will be reduced by 30%, which means that there will be less than 600 blood volume. It is unlikely to withstand three heavenly thunders without dying with this amount of blood volume.
And there is no way to find help for this task.
Therefore, you must have enough life-saving props.
It just so happens that I sold more than 600 taels of silver these few days, so I can indulge myself.
After entering the auction house, Xiao Jie directly searched for various life-saving props.
Substitute straw man: 300 taels of silver. This thing can be worn as an ornament, but can only be used once. When the wearer is fatally injured, it will be activated, replace the user's death, and restore 100 health points for the user.
Good stuff, must get one.
Heavenly King Life-saving Pill: 100 taels of silver. When you are fatally injured, you will be forced to retain 1 point of life. Xiao Jie has used this thing before, and it is very powerful, so he decisively bought one.
Deliverance Pill: 30 taels of silver. When you are hit by special spells such as natural disasters, etc., your chance of being hit by a critical strike is reduced by 50%.
To be honest, this thing is a bit vague. Can this natural disaster have a critical hit?
However, based on the principle of being cautious, I bought one anyway.
Xunmen Thunderbolt Talisman: 40 taels of silver. Increases lightning resistance by 100 points, lasting 120 seconds.
Buy, buy, buy, you must buy.
Xiao Jie gritted his teeth and clicked the mouse, and in the blink of an eye, he had spent most of the money he had earned.
But you have to buy it no matter how expensive it is. Nothing is more valuable than life. Money can be earned again if you lose it, but life is gone for real once it is lost.
In fact, there is another method, which is to use a stick of ebony incense and go to a temple to ask for God's blessing.
For example, worshiping the Dragon King or something.
But first of all, it is uncertain how effective worshiping gods is. It would be bad if it couldn't withstand the three heavenly thunders.
Or you can be directly immune to lightning damage, but it is hard to say whether the heavenly thunder guidance can be completed.
The key is that there is no Leigong Temple, otherwise you can give it a try.
It is better to use life-saving props with predictable effects.
In addition to these big items, I also bought a lot of smaller defensive spells.
Everything was ready, and Xiao Jie set off.
There was no way to ask for help in this kind of situation, and it was uncertain how long the thunderstorm would last, so Xiao Jie had to go up alone.
Transformed into a goshawk, it flew at full speed towards Longhuazhou. An hour later—
From a distance, you can see dark clouds covering the sky.
Fortunately, we made it in time! Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a shame if he had prepared so much but the thunderstorm ended early.
He didn't rush up, but first found a hill to land on, and then began to add BUFF to himself.
The King’s Life-Saving Pill—eat!
Stand-in straw man - wear it!
Du'edan——eat!
Xunmen Thunderbolt Talisman! Iron Wall Talisman! Spirit Armor Talisman! All kinds of buffs that can be added are added.
Control Qi and protect Yuan——activate!
Looking at the pile of BUFFs above his head, Xiao Jie took a deep breath.
Strictly speaking, even now it is not 100% safe.
I have two life-saving effects, but if the damage from the thunder is terribly high, in the worst case, a thunder can kill me in an instant, and there is nothing I can do.
But as long as one bolt of thunder doesn't kill him, then the ritual is safe, and he can withstand even the next two bolts of thunder that have fatal effects.
Xiao Jie soared into the sky and flew straight into the dark clouds where thunder was gathering.
Boom! Thunder rumbled, dark clouds covered the sky, and the flashes of lightning were filled with a sense of oppression like the power of heaven.
The eagle that Xiao Jie transformed into was so small in front of the storm.
Yet it is so unruly that it breaks through the obstacles of wind and rain and soars into the sky.
Soon it flew into the dark clouds.
The layers of dark clouds were so thick that Xiao Jie kept flying upwards.
As if sensing this uninvited guest who was attempting to challenge the might of heaven, lightning gathered in the dark clouds.
Boom! A bolt of lightning struck down on his head.
-
348 (150 points offset)!
Fortunately! The damage is acceptable.
Xiao Jie suddenly felt at ease, knowing that even if the next two thunderbolts struck him with fatal blows, they would not be able to kill him instantly.
However, based on the principle of being prudent, Xiao Jie decisively started the Qi therapy and began to recover blood.
The hawk was enveloped in the light of spiritual energy, and its blood volume began to recover.
boom!
Another bolt of thunder struck from the sky.
-
352!
The blood volume bottomed out instantly.
Hey, it wasn't fatal! Xiao Jie was delighted.
Only a thin layer of blood was left, and he was in a near-death state. Seeing his movements slowing down, Xiao Jie flapped his wings hard to maintain his altitude.
Boom! The third thunder followed closely behind.
Now the health point has finally been reached - no, there is still 1 point left.
The effect of the Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill was triggered.
The moment the lightning struck, the entire goshawk was filled with light, lightning flashed all over its body, and countless electric currents rushed into its body. In an instant, the goshawk was shrouded in lightning. On the screen, dazzling lightning flashed on the goshawk's chest, and electric sparks appeared on its feathers.
The goshawk spread its wings and let out a cry that resounded through the sky. Its body was flashing with lightning, as if it had merged into one with the surrounding thunder.
[System prompt: Your 'enlightenment' state has been triggered, and you have gained an 'epiphany'! ]
[Words of Enlightenment: When the storm was raging, you soared into the sky and endured three consecutive bombardments of thunder. As the power of thunder resonated with the power of the demon spirit in your body, you thus comprehended the skill of controlling thunder.
System prompt: Complete the evolution ritual [Heavenly Thunder Guide], your [Goshawk Transformation (Beast Transformation)] will be upgraded to [Storm Thunder Eagle Transformation (Monster Transformation)]
Success! Xiao Jie quickly began to dive down, using Qi therapy to recover his health. He only had 1 drop of blood left, and if he was hit again, he would be able to deliver a second fatal blow.
In that case, the straw man that acts as a substitute on your body will be triggered. This thing costs 300 taels, so try to save as much as possible.
Fortunately, he was not struck by lightning again and fell back to the ground. His health was restored to more than 200 and he was not struck by lightning again.
Xiao Jie turned back into human form and took several blood potions to replenish his blood. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Although many calculations had been made beforehand to ensure that there would not be any major problems, it was still very scary to face the power of the thunder.
But the results are also gratifying.
The Storm Eagle's shape with lightning flashing all around was really cool.
He opened the skill list and checked out the newly acquired shapeshifting magic.
