Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

[Heart of Primary Power] is an oval as big as a knuckle, and it is a clear red color.

It looks a bit like ruby, but inside it is as fluid as blood.

The [Heart of Advanced Power] is larger and has a hexagonal shape.

It doesn't look crystal clear, and the blood-red substance inside is more viscous.

Strictly speaking, these hearts of power are also jewelry equipment.

After he changed his clothes, his corresponding strength attributes also changed significantly.

Zong Shen's strength attribute was originally 135 points, of which [Heart of Primary Strength] accounted for 6 points.

When you take it off, it becomes 129 points.

Then he replaced it with [Advanced Power Heart] which increased by 18 points.

In the end, his strength attribute became 147 points, and his health value also increased to 1407 points.

This health value is almost comparable to those of level 35 hell two-headed dogs.

As for the replaced [Heart of Primary Power], Zong Shen planned to give it to his soldiers.

Such an ornament is suitable for soldiers who are known for their strength.

If there is really no suitable candidate, it is also a good principle to sell it.

Such simple and crude jewelry equipment that directly increases basic attributes is worth a lot of money in the [market], and it is not even available in points redemption.

Because jewelry equipment is different from any weapon or protective equipment.

Its biggest feature is that it can increase the basic attributes of various items.

Some equipment also comes with additional skills.

Therefore, even if Zong Shen eliminated the [Heart of Primary Power], it can still be exchanged for a large amount of resources when it is put on the market.

After checking these two pieces of rare equipment, Zong Shen easily mastered the architectural drawings of the second-level stone road.

He did not check the detailed properties of this architectural drawing, because this kind of building is a basic building.

It is enough to leave everything to Mariel, and she will make reasonable arrangements for construction based on the actual development situation.

The same is true for the two water mage recruitment scrolls. This is not the first time I have seen them.

So there is no need to devote too much attention to it.

All that's left is a potion and a group magic rune.

The bottle of medicine is contained in a small sealed test tube.

It is a light red liquid with some turbidity inside and black granular sediment.

[Blood Bath Potion (Green)]

[Quality: Excellent grade]

[Effect: For every 1% of health lost, the attack will increase by 0.5%, lasting for 3 minutes. After the duration is over, it will enter an overdraft state, and the health recovery effect will be reduced by 30%, lasting for 10 minutes]

(A high-quality potion made with rough refining techniques, with slightly more impurities and obvious side effects. It may come in handy at critical moments)

Obviously this thing is an alchemical potion.

The effect is somewhat similar to the mad dog state of those crazy ax warriors.

In an injured state, you may be able to use this potion to launch a counterattack.

Putting away the potion, he took out the magic rune.

Just looking at the appearance, it looks like a white pebble, with magic runes engraved all over it.

These runes exude a sea-blue halo and are filled with magical power.

The last time I saw magic runes was on the shore of the island in the middle of the lake.

The [Group Flying Rune] used by Jiang Yi.

This magic rune can be used repeatedly, and its functionality is obvious.

Zong Shen took the magic rune he had drawn and played with it carefully.

Use your thumb to rub the rune marks dented on the surface.

Put it in front of your eyes and start to see the specific effects.

[Group Stealth Rune (Blue)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Can select up to 20 friendly targets to enter the third-level stealth state, lasting 10 minutes]

[Number of uses remaining: 5]

(Practical magic runes, suitable for special tasks such as team assassination, lurking, and raiding)

This magic rune is similar to Jiang Yi's flying rune. It can be used 5 times, and the maximum selectable target is 20 allies.

The attached stealth state has reached the third level and can deal with most mainstream detection spells.

In addition, it is a group-effective rune, which makes the actual value of this group stealth rune exceed the excellent level.

Zong Shen sorted these into categories, and now the two treasure chests that he had forgotten for several days have all been opened.

A [Magic Heat Ball] was used in the lord's small building, which made the entire hall very warm.

Zong Shen took off his bearskin coat. He had no plans tonight.

It is snowing heavily outside, and ice flowers have condensed on the windows, forming a thin layer of ice.

Like a hazy window screen, it reflects the warm orange light in the house.

Now Zong Shen's level is still lv26, but his experience value has increased a lot, becoming [80065/95150], which is still more than 10,000 experience points away from lv27.

The higher the level, the more time it takes to improve.

Correspondingly, the strength improvement benefits obtained from levels have become smaller and smaller.

Zong Shen currently still has 2 attribute points and skill points that can be allocated.

and 20 points of assignable weapon proficiency.

During this period of time, he was always used to stocking up on attribute points, adding at least three or four points before adding them.

But while he was free, he planned to add up these two attribute points.

Now Zong Shen’s four attributes are as follows:

[Strength: 147], [Agility: 41], [Intelligence: 54], [Charm 78].

Compared with basic attributes, he lacks allocable skill points.

Because there are more ways to obtain attribute points than skill points.

Including various elementary to advanced attribute books, jewelry equipment, and reading books can effectively improve the four basic attributes.

The allocable skill points depend on each upgrade and the improvement of the wisdom attribute.

So Zong Shen chose to add these two attribute points to intelligence, making the intelligence attribute 56 points.

His magic value and magic damage base have also been slightly improved.

This way he has 4 skill points that can be allocated.

Considering that the portable storage grid was already somewhat stretched, Zong Shen decided to add 2 skill points to [Item Management] and changed it to level 8, so that he would have 68 portable storage grids.

As for the remaining 2 points, he chose to add them to [Persuasion] and raised it to level 4.

The effect of this skill is very subtle. According to the prompt, it can make one's views more easily accepted by others. It can also effectively reduce the hostility of the natives and increase the speed of developing favorability.

As the exchanges with the indigenous people become closer and closer, Zong Shen is also preparing for more frequent contact with the indigenous people in the future.

Regardless of the effect of [Persuasion], even if it has only a small effect, it is still an important variable. After all, this thing is equivalent to a weakened passive version of impression enhancement, and you will not suffer any loss if you upgrade it a few levels.

In fact, the twenty-four passive skills provided by the lord system cover many aspects.

Many of these passive skills have extremely powerful effects.

The most important thing is that these effects exist independently and take effect.

For example, [Shield Defense], if you click to a very high level and you and the natives hold the same shield, your shield will be stronger and less likely to be damaged.

Another example is [Riding], which allows you to naturally master proficient riding skills, not only limited to horses, but also all kinds of weird riding animals.

There is also [Tracking], which is the top detection skill, it will provide you with additional trace information.

These are just some examples, in fact every passive skill has its own uniqueness.

There are even some life-changing effects, such as [Healing], [Rescue], and [First Aid].

However, these passive skills need to be advanced to a higher level before they can effectively exert their effects. This is why it is more difficult to obtain skill points than attribute points.

Therefore, the seemingly weak lord actually lacks only time to develop.

After adding attribute points and skill points, Zong Shen added all 20 points of assignable weapon proficiency to [two-handed weapons]. Now he has 125 points of two-handed weapon proficiency.

When using two-handed weapons, you can get an additional 12.5% ​​damage bonus.

Among his weapon proficiency, the highest is [One-Handed Weapon], which has reached 197 points.

However, recently he has been using one-handed weapons less and two-handed weapons more.

Including the killer [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] and [Disaster War Spear], which are both two-handed equipment.

The [Wind, Fire and Thunder Trident] is a weapon that can be used with one hand.

When held with one hand or two hands, the weapon's basic piercing damage will fluctuate to a certain extent.

After taking a look at his current attributes, Zong Shen was still very satisfied with himself.

By the time he finished handling these matters, the girls had already tidied up the kitchen.

When planning the relocation, the hot spring hut was left in the central area, right next to the lord's courtyard, because of its small footprint.

Now that we have eaten and drank enough, it is stormy and snowy outside, so it would be a good choice to take a bath in a hot spring.

Zong Shen stood up and put his bearskin coat behind him, and stretched out a little tiredly.

He looked at the girls who were gathering together and chatting.

"Want to go to the hot springs...?"

…

More than an hour later, Zong Shen stood outside the [market] wearing a coat and a thick cloak.

He used the [Disaster Spear] to shatter the thick ice curtain.

Mariel just gave him 36 pairs of anti-slip chain spikes and 212 sets of [sewn sheepskin jackets].

It just happened to be added to the [market] for sale now.

When he opened the [For Sale] interface, as expected, after the second phase of climate change, the sales of cold-resistant materials increased a lot.

After all, it is a super "online" market with a volume of several billions. As the winter challenge progresses, digesting the batch of materials he has listed for sale will not be a problem at all.

In the morning, there were still 730 pieces of the cheapest [washed sheepskin jacket] left.

There are only 327 pieces left, and 403 pieces were sold in most of the day.

This once again harvested a large amount of resources, including 53,460 pieces of wood, 11,880 pieces of stone, 10,260 pieces of hemp, 280 pieces of copper, 60 pieces of mithril, and 26 pieces of primary element crystals.

The second batch of [Sewn Sheepskin Jackets] unexpectedly outsold the first batch in terms of sales. He had replenished a batch in the morning, bringing the quantity to 783 pieces.

There are now 436 pieces left, which means a total of 437 pieces have been sold during this period.

The [Sewn Sheepskin Jacket] was produced by the [Tailor Shop] in Zong Shen's territory.

It was sewn by Alanna stitch by stitch.

These [sewn sheepskin jackets] were placed on the second level by Zong Shen for sale.

It is about 40% more expensive than the listed selling price of [Turned Sheepskin Jacket].

But in fact, the effect of keeping out the cold is more than twice as good, second only to the [brand new sheepskin jacket] redeemed by points. If you can spare the money, this grade of sheepskin jacket is more cost-effective than the [recycled sheepskin jacket].

This batch of [sewn sheepskin jackets] also brought a lot of profit to Zong Shen.

Among them, there are 52,164 parts of wood, 17,640 parts of stone, 16,380 parts of hemp, 150 parts of mithril, and 90 primary element crystals.

Zong Shen added the 212 [sewn sheepskin jackets], making the number 648.

As for the third-tier [brand-new sheepskin jacket], the fourth-tier [double-sided cold-weather jacket], and the fifth-tier [wool quilt], the sales results are not satisfactory.

Compared with the first and second grades, which are relatively affordable, the sales of the subsequent grades of quilts are not very good.

[Brand new sheepskin jackets] From 93 pieces remaining at noon, there are still 88 pieces left now.

[Double-sided sheepskin cold-weather clothing] has increased from 468 pieces to 442 pieces now.

As for the 49 pieces of [wool quilts], 2 pieces have been sold as of mid-afternoon.

From the sales of cold-weather quilts, we can see the general needs of the current lords.

These three levels earned Zong Shen a total of 10,710 pieces of wood, 20 pieces of mithril, and 13 primary element crystals. Compared with the previous two levels, it can be said that there is a huge difference.

Judging from the current situation, the first two grades of sheepskin jackets can meet the requirements of the lords to keep out the cold.

The following grades are more like a luxury product, just like the difference between ordinary cotton-padded jackets and professional winter clothing. The winter clothing needs of ordinary people must revolve around the basic requirement of keeping out the cold.

You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to buy polar cold clothing all winter long.

Therefore, the hot sales of the first two grades are indeed in line with the current actual situation.

In particular, the most cost-effective [sewn sheepskin jacket] is made of solid materials and can fully meet the needs after the second stage of temperature changes.

Now Zong Shen can only continue to wait for the passage of time. He believes that the demand and consumption power among the lords will be further squeezed out.

But in any case, these cold-weather quilts have earned him a lot of resources.

Zong Shen's speed of amassing money can be called a resource harvester.

After all, he didn't spend much money on cold-warming supplies.

After he took care of the listing, he walked back to the yard through the snow.

He reached out and swept away the floating snow on the territory's storage box.

Put these resources that you just extracted from the market into it.

His storage compartment and backpack were almost bursting with resources.

In the past few days, the territory storage box was upgraded to level 10 by Mariel.

Equipped with 400 territorial storage cells.

[Storage Warehouse 1] in technology has also been upgraded to level 5.

This brings the total number of storage cells in the territory to 450 cells.

If it weren't for the fact that the territorial storage box requires intermediate resources starting from level 11, Mariel would continue to upgrade it.

The upper limit of Type 1 technology is only level 5. During this period, Mariel has completed 70% of Type 1 technology upgrades.

If he wants to continue to improve in the future, Zong Shen needs to obtain the construction drawings of the [Second Level Territory Technology Research Institute] as soon as possible.

Currently most of the territory storage compartments are filled.

Basically they are occupied by basic resources.

The resource stacking quantity of 1000 copies/grid is somewhat insufficient for Zong Shen's increasing resource reserves.

7017k
