"Big brother Mcgee, I've just searched the trading area carefully. Basically, they're all basic weapons with little lethality.
n
"As for the reward, I haven't received any response yet. I feel that at this stage, there shouldn't be many people who can get a black-iron equipment blueprint. Even if they can, they wouldn't take it out to trade, right?
"
nRomain spoke a helpless truth.
nAs he said, most people still rely on their homes to set up traps and fight for materials to survive. Even living was a complicated thing. They did not have the ability to kill level 6 monsters.
nEven if lucky people obtained the weapon blueprint when they opened the treasure chest, after the protection period ended and vicious dogs attacked them, they would also realize the importance of their own strength. Therefore, they would not easily take it out to trade.
nFor example, the person who used the beast pattern short blade blueprint to exchange for half-finished charcoal with Mcgee now even wanted to die.
nThis result was within Mcgee's expectations. He did not intend to really obtain the more precious weapon blueprints in the trading area. He was just asking.
n
"Alright, then help me sell some things. Then, when the time comes, make a list for me.
"
nMcgee made his own request. Today's trip had yielded quite a lot. He had led the tamed beasts to kill dozens of monsters. Not only had he broken down a large number of materials, but he had also stored a pile of bronze and black iron treasure chests.
nHe kept the parts that he needed and left the rest to Romon to handle the transaction. This way, the profits would be even greater. After all, he was specialized in this.
nMcgee let the Greed Treasure Chest, who had already become obedient, use the space compression skill. Then, after expanding the space of a small box, he packed all the items into it and gave it to Romon.
n
"System Notification: You have lost your storage box (36 items) through the transaction.
"
nRomon was shocked. A small box could actually hold so many things?
nWith his sharp mind, he immediately saw a business opportunity.
n
"Big brother Mcgee, where did you get this box?
n
"Can you sell me a few?
n
"I can give you something that you definitely need in exchange!
"
nAfter reading this series of messages, Mcgee knew that Romon wanted to become a peddler again.
nHe did not ask for his purpose and directly asked Romon what he wanted to exchange with him.
nA box that could store many items, there were probably many people who needed it.
nAt the moment, only Mcgee could make it. He also looked at the description of the Greed Treasure Chest's skill. The space compression skill could only be used once a day, so the production was quite limited.
nIf Romon's price was not satisfactory, he might as well sell it himself.
nSoon, Romon sent an illustration.
nBlueprint for puppet factory construction: Can spend materials to create puppet guards.
nCreating puppets to guard his home?
nMcgee found it hard to believe. How could Romon be willing to trade such a good thing?
nAs long as he had enough materials, creating a puppet army would not be difficult.
nHowever, when he saw the more detailed description, he felt relieved.
nIt turned out that the puppets produced by this blueprint could only guard their homes. They could not go out to collect resources, and they could not invade other people's territory.
nUnless the Beast Masters themselves went to pull the monsters to their homes, they would fight back.
nHowever, this method was time-consuming, laborious, and the profits were too low.
nMoreover, the resources needed to make the puppets were very high. The higher the level, the more expensive it was. Those who were not rich in resources would not be able to afford it.
nAlthough Romon was a businessman, he was in the business of second-hand reselling. He did not have a fixed income, so he only earned the middle price difference.
nHe was already competent if he could maintain his daily expenses. However, he was far from having the ability to raise an army of puppets.
nThis thing was quite useful to Mcgee.
nAfter the location of his home was exposed, it was very likely to attract the attention of others.
nThe two watchtowers could only protect part of the house.
nMcgee's territory had already covered the Rift Valley where the Molten Lizard was.
nIf they wanted to protect such a large territory truly, they would need more traps and weapons.
nPuppets were also a good choice.
n
"Okay, I agree.
n
"However, this box isn't that easy to get. I only have this one, so I'll give it to you first.
"
nMcgee replied.
nRomon was ecstatic.
"Thank you, Mcgee. One is enough. I'll send the blueprint over now.
"
n
"System Notification: You have a new transaction request!
"
n
"System Notification: You obtained a new item through the transaction Puppet factory construction blueprint!
"
nWith the item in hand, Mcgee could see the materials needed for the construction.
nBlueprint for the construction of the puppet factory
nMaterials required: Iron * 300, stone * 700, wood * 1500, copper * 80.
nThe demand for these hundreds and thousands of materials was simply an astronomical figure for anyone.
nA tree only produced 10 units of wood. If one wanted to build a puppet factory, it was equivalent to cutting 150 trees to meet the production demand.
nAnd this was only one resource.
nEven Mcgee, a big resource user, could not gather so many things in a short amount of time.
nHe opened all of the steel-bronze treasure chests that he obtained from killing monsters in the afternoon. Unfortunately, he only satisfied a small part of his target.
nHence, Mcgee left a message for Romon, asking him to focus on trading more stones and wood.
nAs for iron and copper, Mcgee planned to revisit the Rift Valley tomorrow.
nOf course, he did not plan to rechallenge the Molten Lizard so soon. Instead, he thought there would be Giant Rock Monsters there, and he could obtain many copper and iron ores.
nAfter Mcgee ate the roasted meat with the tamed beasts, the sky had already darkened.
n
