The first crystal’s effect gave first-hand experience to Richard of the treasure’s might.
He played with the two remaining pills in his hand and couldn’t help but hesitate.
How to distribute them was a problem.
The blacksmith shop had enough space for the two to conduct research.
!!
The remaining departments he had high hopes for included the tailor shop that produced yellow sand robes, the distillery and food workshop, and the alchemy workshop mainly made by gray-colored dwarves.
Now that the decision was in his hands. He could make the department he wanted to develop catch up.
‘We can’t produce on a large scale because the raw materials from the fire dragon rabbit in the tailor shop are limited. We can postpone it.
‘The food workshop can’t find a clear development path. And the benefits are inadequate profits. I can also delay it.
‘The position of the alchemy workshop in Twilight City is to manufacture defensive weapons. It can’t be like the fortress race, which focuses on alchemy technology as the core of its development. The focus of Twilight City is not on this.
Richard’s eyes fell on the distillery after much thought.
The wine had always been an extremely profitable industry since ancient times.
And it was necessary.
As long as he could develop a few types of top-grade wine, he could earn a vast amount of resources.
Due to the existence of the Black Gold System, his desire for resources was mightier than any other player.
However, it was still the same old problem. Twilight City still needs more talent.
Previously, he had thought that if he upgraded the brewer to a B-rank hero, the other party would bring him the good news.
However, two months passed, and the distillery had developed a few types of wine during this time. However, one could describe the taste as ordinary, and there was nothing to be proud of.
Now, he had the reinforcing crystal, but he could not find a suitable target to use it on.
He felt it was a waste to use it on the original person.
“What talent…”
Richard had a headache.
The battle hero of Twilight City is the best in the world. They are incomparable. He could even defeat 100 players by himself.
In comparison, lifestyle heroes were very scarce.
Although there was also an exceptional blacksmith like Adele, it was more than a rank lower compared to the military’s talent pool.
Richard heard a notification ring in his ear just as he relaxed.
Without further ado, he opened the chat forum and glanced.
It constantly sent private messages.
Richard checked.
[Steamed Bun Lover: Boss Qingqiu, save my dog’s life!!]
Richard’s mouth twitched. ‘Why does this guy sound like [Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon]…?
[Qingqiu: Those orcs attacked your territory?]
The bun lover heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the instant reply.
He hurriedly replied.
[Steamed Bun Lover: Not yet, but they’re exploring the territory more and more intensely …I’ve thought it’s better to deal with it early. It’ll be too late by the time the other side attacks.]
[Qingqiu: Contact me when you’ve prepared the Teleportation Scroll.]
Richard said without hesitation.
Since he had made a promise, he would fulfill it.
This was his bottom line.
Moreover, the bun lover offered him the seed of the world tree in exchange for his help.
He would agree to this deal without any hesitation if it were to happen ten more times.
The bun lover immediately perked up.
[Steamed Bun Lover: No problem. I’ll be able to get the Teleportation Scroll by September 3rd at the latest!]
Richard answered.
[Qingqiu: It’d only be a few days.]
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and asked.
[Qingqiu: Do you have any wine-making talents in your territory?]
He then added.
[Qingqiu: I don’t need a hero. I just need someone with a talent for brewing wine to develop a brewing industry. I lack talent.]
[Steamed Bun Lover: Boss Qingqiu, you have good eyes! The wine has always been a bestseller, so there’s no need to worry about sales in this business.]
[Steamed Bun Lover: But it’s a pity my subordinates are all harpies. And they know nothing about winemaking. Big Boss…]
It didn’t disappoint Richard.
But just as he was about to reply, the other party sent another message.
[Seamed Bun Lover: Boss Qingqiu, Can your territory accommodate half-orcs? Although I don’t have any talent in this area, the beast clan rules over a special tribe that is extremely good at making wine.]
“Oh?”
[Qingqiu: A special tribe?]
It stirred Richard’s enthusiasm.
[Qingqiu: Can you confirm this information?]
The bun lover immediately responded.
[Steamed Bun Lover: When I sent people to scout for information, they encountered the tribe’s transport vehicles.]
[Steamed Bun Lover: I even stole half a barrel of wine… That is the best I’ve ever had. No wine on Planet Blue can compare to it.]
[Steamed Bun Lover: What’s more impressive is it can increase attributes to zero after drinking it.]
[Steamed Bun Lover: Boss Qingqiu, as long as your territory can accommodate half-orcs and take back that tribe, you will not be disappointed.]
It piqued Richard’s interest.
[Qingqiu: Which tribe is the half-orc? How many were there? How’s his strength?]
[Steamed Bun Lover: The other party is from the white-tailed cat clan. There are about 200 of them. They are weak and have relied on the protection of the beasts.]
[Steamed Bun Lover: The orcs in the “Shining Era” belonged to the Horde camp. They looked similar to the orcs in a world of warcraft. Their lips exposed two fangs, and their bodies were strong and fierce.]
It was full of strategic intentions.
[Steamed Bun Lover: Apart from that, there were also many half-orc races in the Horde camp, such as lion men, tiger men, rhinoceros men, Hippo men, and cat men…]
[Steamed Bun Lover: As the most powerful existence in the tribe camp, the orcs had always occupied the dominant position, and the half-orcs were in a dominant position.]
It set Richard’s heart on fire.
[Qingqiu: Try to gather as much information about the white-tailed cat tribe in the next few days. In addition, help me find as many winemakers as possible. If I’m satisfied with the right person, I’ll thank you.]
[Steamed Bun Lover: Boss Qingqiu, don’t worry. I will make the necessary arrangements. Wait for my good news. I will contact you as soon as I get the Teleportation Scroll!]
Richard seemed to have thought of something after their conversation. He opened another message.
[Qingqiu: Are you still alive?]
[Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon] replied a few minutes later.
[Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon: Big Brother, you’re so mean. It took you so long to send me a message…]
Richard didn’t want to waste time on the fellow’s complaints.
[Qingqiu: Did you get the scroll that can increase a hero’s potential in the dungeon?]
[Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon] reminded him before they entered the dungeon that as long as he could kill the boss in the middle of the two players ‘territories, he could obtain a scroll to increase the hero’s potential.]
He was quite excited and was ready to make a move.
However, after he entered the dungeon, he found that the boss was a level 19 boss with a potential of A-rank.
It caused his plan to fail.
He would have the strength to fight after he subdued the dark valkyrie.
However, he was not able to move on time. The system has activated the endless survival mode.
It made him feel regretful.
[Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon] immediately scratched and proudly said.]
[Big Brother, do you know why I didn’t message you after that? Hehe, that’s because my sister took me to kill two level 19 bosses! That’s right. It’s a level-19 void hunter hero with A-rank potential!]
[Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon: After the boss got killed, we also perished with the remaining void hunters.]
[As for the Hero Advancement Scroll, my sister and I got one each… I’ll be honest with you now: I already have an A-rank hero! Hahahaha!]
[An A-rank hero, what a soul-strapping existence!]
[Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon] could not help but smile when he thought of this A-rank hero’s exaggerated attributes.
It felt good.
Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry…
‘An A-rank hero? Just this?
‘If this guy knew that he had kidnapped a level 15 hidden boss, who knew what his expression would be?’
[Qingqiu: Congratulations.]
After Richard gave a perfunctory reply with a lack of interest, he repeated the matter he asked of [Steamed Bun Lover] about the wine-brewing talent.
[Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon] quickly responded.
[Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon: I don’t have talents. But my sister seems to know where to find the recipe. It’s also a very high-level top quality wine. I’ll help you ask later.]
Within a few minutes, [Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon] appeared again.
[Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon: Big Brother, my sister said that the recipe is glorious and the task involved is very cumbersome. She can’t do it now but can give you the related task items. You can do it yourself.
Richard was in a good mood.
Both [Steamed Bun Lover] and [Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon] are lucky stars.
