Chapter Sixteen: Stone Weapons are in High Demand
Quickly, Xiaodao brought a whole pile, mostly comprised of stone-made spearheads. The Military Dagger instinctively swallowed hard, as most of them exceeded ordinary quality of poor grade, with some even at good grade. Incredibly rare premium ones—skills refined even beyond perfection—were seen only from an Elite Level team captain.
Though it was almost unbelievable, the sight brightened Military Dagger's eyes instantly. He exclaimed, "Fantastic! We even got premium ones, which are simply not for sale even with money. Xiaodao Brother, the buying price of seven hundred and eighty Bone Coins for these is a steal for me. Let's not talk about doubling the price; if I overcharge you, I'd lose sleep, feeling guilty."
Military Dagger was immensely relieved knowing that the elite prey he acquired from the Elite Hunter had fetched a tidy profit, and he resolved to trade these spoils using contribution.
Seeing just how adamant Military Dagger was, Xiaodao felt there was no need to be verbose.
Thinking about how generous he was, Xiaodao figured he wouldn't be left behind either, so he reached into his pocket, taking three stone-made spearheads from his Personal Space, which further exceeded the premium, these were Top Grade.
The purchase price was sixteen Bone Coins, which could replace sixteen poor-grade stone spearheads.
Yet the price wasn't counted this way; it wasn't something players can currently buy.
"Thanks a lot, brother, truly helpful!" The Military Dagger's eyes sparkled; with experience in the Hunting Team he understood just how powerful high-quality weapons could be in combat.
Especially these Top Grade stone tools, making even elite hunters capable of unleashing formidable combat power.
Thus, he took all the stone weapons, calculated quickly, and returned some money to Xiaodao.
"You need stone weapons, come see me, purchasing price." Xiaodao took a liking to Military Dagger.
"Good brother, if you need anything later, just say it." Military Dagger was overjoyed.
With the trade complete, Xiaodao headed straight to the Voodoo Cave to finish the task, no further discussion.
Observing the two figures, Military Dagger pondered slightly over that slave girl who showed no attribute level, yet even in her raw state, was alluring. But with a hero like Xiaodao Brother, what he cared for was surely not this, but the uncommon slave's probable possession of Divine Techniques to enhance the manufacturing quality of stone weapons.
Military Dagger evidently had his own information channels, knowing the secret of Divine Techniques.
Yet all he could do was envy, glancing twice.
His five-level slave, the quest to grasp skills at Great Success was daunting.
"Men!" Xiaodao contemplated, assuming he wasn't aware when they peek at his girl.
Hmph!
"Looking doesn't matter, I'm forgiving you." Xiaodao checked the task details, needing the full materials, while crafting costs: 1000 Bone Coins were still required.
Thus, Xiaodao returned to the Thatched House, went offline to take stock, and fetched a sack of stones from his neighbor, the old worker, ordering more batches then went online taking those stone tools for his journey.
Selling swiftly to those NPC hunters, among them good grade, even Top Grade, naturally earned favorability.
Including Uncle Nus adept at well-digging skills that Xiu'Er found.
Of course, Xiaodao was trading with his master, an Elite Hunter at Level Thirty.
The poor-grade ones aren't accepted, minimum ordinary, good grade failed to earn favorability, bringing out Top Grade was necessary.
This was already the highest standard that the old worker could manufacture.
Sure enough, gaining favorability, the attitude swiftly changed when Xiaodao requested well-digging, agreeing outright.
Task: Digging a Well, Difficulty: Ordinary.
Locate any herbs containing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, 10 stalks, then pay 100 Bone Coins fee.
Reward: Digging a well.
Just happened to buy some herbs, Xiaodao was pleased.
Drip: Task can be altered, will you change it.
Task: Digging a Well, Difficulty: Ordinary.
Pay ordinary or above-grade stone-made spearheads, total value not less than 200 Bone Coins.
Reward: Digging a well, with additional favorability according to quality paid.
"Ha ha!"
Xiaodao chose to change it, quickly paying the costs and the stone-made spearheads of decent quality, gaining extra favorability: 5.
Elite Hunter passionately dispatched his skilled underlings, proficient in well-digging techniques, along with other workers and tools to get to work.
Xiaodao, meanwhile, inquired about building a Fence.
Much simpler, the Elite Hunter indicated his slaves were adept at handling it, this is Basic Skills, skills possessed by many, yet requiring sufficient wood. Depending on the scope, building costs one Bone Coin per meter length.
Is that cost an issue?
All was sorted.
Funds amassed sufficiently and Xiaodao arrived directly at the Old Witch's cave.
Task: Wind Spirit Potion, Find relevant materials, can obtain Wind Speed Potion to permanently increase agility by one point.
Materials: Wind Crystal: 1,(already) Wind Spirit Grass: 10(already), Fierce Beast Heart Blood: 1 drop.(already), Cost: 1000 Bone Coins(satisfied).
Submitting materials and Bone Coins, Xiaodao smoothly obtained a small wooden bottle.
Wind Spirit Potion, consumes one, permanently increases agility by one point.
Note: Repeat consumption effect reduces by thirty to fifty percent.
Receiving this potion brought joy so unmatched by ordinary players because he intended to bring it into reality.
Happily storing it away, leading his personal maid out.
Certainly finding a chance to stash it in his Personal Space as they walked out.
Soon returned to the courtyard, that NPC over there was busy, starting to dig the well.
An unexpected frown appeared on Xiaodao's face over seeing Slutty Mouth again.
"You came back again." Xiaodao, a bit helpless.
"Brother Dao, I brought ten portions of wood for you." Slutty Mouth expressed gleeful commendation.
"Not bad! Quite swift." Xiaodao was pleased.
Not bothering about how it was acquired, directly inquiring about the purchase price of wood.
One Bone Coin per portion.
That's the NPC's purchase price.
No players were purchasing it yet.
"I'm trading stone spearheads at purchase price." Xiaodao remarked.
Xiaodao brought out three stone spearheads.
Slutty Mouth was dumbfounded, seeing two good grades and one ordinary.
He had spent so long, only producing poor grade spearheads, didn't have a single ordinary, which was why he was recruiting those two underlings, offering base salary, all because they could produce ordinary quality!
All promptly scooped away by Young Master Dai.
"Brother Dao is incredible." Slutty Mouth flattery burst out.
His eyes shined knowing several players had tasks tied to good quality stone spearheads, but slaves seeking to breakthrough Level 5, the simplest way to increase Level Cap!
"Still short of ninety portions, if you manage tomorrow, you'll receive a Top Level trade, postnatal only good grade left." Xiaodao stated.
"Tomorrow? Brother, I'm committed." Slutty Mouth dashed away fast, arranging things with Xiaoli first, using money to buy wood was vital.
Premium, unseen before.
If Premium task completes, what reward might there be?
Certainly make a fortune.
With Young Master Dai's richness, high-quality stone-made spearheads will surely rob a haul.
In the evening, Xiaodao gifted Xiu'Er two repeating crossbows to ensure safety, even entrusting care to the workers digging the well, extending favors, these workers residing there for few days, finally assured enough to logout.
Once logged out, the first reaction was fetching the Wind Spirit Potion from Personal Space, feeling vibrant cheer upon it.
