Chapter 768: Guerrilla Camp Recruitment Acceleration Charm
Chapter 768: Guerrilla Camp Recruitment Acceleration Charm
As night fell, Lu HaiKong found himself once again at the training ground in the North Seclusion City's North Gate. He had lost count of how many times he had come to this very spot to open treasure chests, but this time, he had brought the fewest number of chests with him.
Aside from the legendary chest obtained from the Endless Labyrinth and two golden chests, Lu HaiKong only had a legendary chest that Yue Ying had acquired during her advancement, making it a total of two legendary and two golden chests.
Lu HaiKong wasn't particularly concerned about the legendary and golden chests. He effortlessly opened them all without much thought. After all, he had already witnessed so many remarkable items throughout the day that he didn't expect much from these chests.
The two golden chests yielded two bottles of Talent Dan, a relatively decent reward, providing Lu HaiKong with two high-level talented individuals. The two legendary chests, on the other hand, granted him a blueprint and a bow.
Celestial Net Blueprint (Legendary-grade Weaving)
Requirements: Advanced/Master Tailor
Description: A legendary-grade weaving with mysterious and incredible effects.
Ps: It has a certain level of crafting difficulty. If not crafted by a master tailor, the quality of the celestial net may significantly decrease.
Swift Wolf Moon Bow
Equipment Grade: Legendary
Equipment Requirement: Internal Force Recognition
Equipment Skill: Swift Wolf Moon Shot
Swift Wolf Moon Shot: An auxiliary skill that increases the power of arrow skills by 100%.
The first thing that caught Lu HaiKong's attention was not the blueprint but the bow itself. When he laid eyes on the Swift Wolf Moon Bow, his eyes lit up, and he immediately picked it up to examine it.
Lu HaiKong was not only renowned for his formidable axe skills but also for his proficiency in archery. His mastery of the 'Swift Moon Arrow Technique' was truly remarkable.
However, due to the lack of suitable bows and the gradual perfection of his axe skills, Lu HaiKong had been using his arrow techniques less frequently. But upon seeing this legendary-grade bow, he couldn't resist the urge to try it out.
To his delight, the bow performed exceptionally well. It was outstanding in every aspect, and in Lu HaiKong's hands, it could effortlessly shoot targets over 800 meters away. It was like a sniper rifle, but with a terrifyingly powerful punch.
After playing with the bow for a while, Lu HaiKong put it down. But given his impulsive nature, it was likely that this bow would become his exclusive weapon.
Setting the bow aside, Lu HaiKong turned his attention to the blueprint. He had seen similar weaving blueprints before, including one for crafting leather armor, which he had never gotten around to using.
Now that he had conquered the Grassland, various types of leather would be readily available to him. He could consider developing his tailoring skills in that direction.
Leather armor was not only affordable but also offered excellent defensive capabilities, making it particularly suitable for cavalry equipment.
However, what truly piqued Lu HaiKong's interest at the moment was the Celestial Net blueprint in front of him. It was a legendary-grade item, and he was extremely intrigued by such items.
"This Celestial Net seems ideal for trapping people. I should ask Wang Jun to arrange for its creation during the dragon hunt. It might come in handy."
Currently, the dragon hunt was Lu HaiKong's top priority. Everything he did was geared towards that goal. When he saw the Celestial Net, his mind immediately went to its potential use in the upcoming hunt.
After all, the dragon was the first true powerhouse Lu HaiKong had encountered, so it was only natural for him to exercise caution.
As Lu HaiKong's focus on the dragon hunt intensified, his subordinates' investigations into the dragon's capabilities became more meticulous. The more he learned about the dragon's strength, the more he realized its unfathomable depth. This battle would be challenging, which was why Lu HaiKong was leaving no stone unturned in his preparations.
After casually handing the blueprint to Chen Ping, Lu HaiKong reached into his pocket and pulled out a few more items.
There was a blueprint for an automaton beast that Meng Qu had obtained in the Endless Labyrinth, along with several items that Dian Wei had acquired from defeating a giant ape with a power level of 99.
Lu HaiKong's eyes scanned these items, instantly grasping their attributes.
Iron General Automaton Blueprint (Automaton Beast)
Description: A humanoid automaton beast primarily constructed from steel, combining both defensive and offensive capabilities. The downside is its slightly reduced mobility, and it cannot be miniaturized!
Ps: The standard product has a strength value of 90. During the crafting process, there is a chance for an exceptional variant to emerge.
The first item that caught Lu HaiKong's attention was Meng Qu's blueprint. Based on its attributes, it seemed like a decent blueprint, but the mention of 'cannot be miniaturized' at the end gave him a slight frown.
Four Words.
Lu HaiKong had been noticing this particular attribute more and more on Automaton Beasts recently. He wasn't sure if it was because the Automaton Beasts he encountered were of lower rank or if it was a result of the system's self-repair mechanism.
The only thing Lu HaiKong knew was that if these Automaton Beasts didn't possess this unshrinkable attribute, their value would be at least several dozen times higher.
"Although having an unshrinkable attribute is annoying, it's still not bad. I'll hand it over to the Carpenter Camp and let Xing Mu Li study it."
Lu HaiKong passed the blueprint in his hand to Chen Ping and then turned his attention to the items that the Savage Ape Boss had dropped.
Although the Savage Ape Boss had died in a rather pitiful manner, being annihilated by Dian Wei, it was still a Strength 99 existence. Its drops were quite impressive for a boss that was almost at the hundred mark.
The boss left Lu HaiKong with three items: an egg the size of a fist, a stone the size of an egg, and a token.
When Lu HaiKong saw the fist-sized egg, he had a vague idea of what it might be. Although apes are viviparous, this egg had come from a boss, and Lu HaiKong was almost certain that it was a monkey egg with a 99% probability.
Indeed, when Lu HaiKong examined it closely, it turned out to be a pet egg.
He quickly checked the version in the book and confirmed it:
Whitewatch Demon Ape Egg (Battle Pet Egg)
Description: After hatching, you will obtain a Whitewatch Demon Ape cub. The talent level of the cub is random, ranging from Advanced to Divine Beast.
"Not bad at all. It's probably going to be another powerful little fellow," Lu HaiKong said as he immediately began incubating the egg.
Since the egg had already dropped, there was no point in leaving it unhatched. Incubating it and giving it to Xi Zhi as a pet and bodyguard would be a great idea.
The incubation process was a bit expensive, costing Lu HaiKong nearly a million gold. Fortunately, he had recently recovered some money from the Grasslands, or else Wang Jun would have been furious with Lu HaiKong's spending.
Lu HaiKong's luck was decent, and after spending the million gold, the egg shattered, revealing a fist-sized, snow-white baby ape. Lu HaiKong checked the attributes of the little ape and found them to be quite impressive. Although it didn't reach the Divine Beast level like Gong Gong's pet, it still had top-tier talents with a potential to reach 99.
Lu HaiKong played with the little ape for a while before handing it back to Chen Ping, who was standing behind him. He then appraised the remaining two items.
Whitewatch Ape Soulstone (Legendary Grade [Pseudo-Mythic])
Item Category: Material
Item Description: A stone imbued with the soul power of a white ape. Stones containing soul power become valuable materials that can be used in the construction of Automaton Beasts and the forging of Mythic-grade weapons.
Guerrilla Camp Recruitment Acceleration Charm (One Month)
Item Type: Consumable/Mysterious Item
Item Description: A mysterious item that allows you to recruit a one-month's worth of soldiers from the Guerrilla Camp in one go.
Note: Using this item will increase the recruitment cost to some extent.
Lu HaiKong examined the last two items in his hand but, unusually, didn't comment on them. He handed the Whitewatch Ape Soulstone to Chen Ping, asking him to deliver it to the Carpenter Camp, and kept the Guerrilla Camp Recruitment Acceleration Charm for himself. Then, holding the fist-sized little ape, he headed back to the Assembly Hall.
Lu HaiKong's engineering team had renovated the Assembly Hall, and behind it was a courtyard—a rather elegant and spacious area that served as Lu HaiKong's residence.
Although Lu HaiKong's residence wasn't small, not many people lived there at the moment. Aside from Lu HaiKong, Nuan Nuan, Chen Ping, and Zhang Liao, no one else was around.
However, Chen Yi and Zhang Liao had been sent away by Lu HaiKong to join the army, so they were staying in the military camp. This made the already quiet courtyard even lonelier.
Lu HaiKong didn't mind, but Nuan Nuan felt a bit lonely.
When Lu HaiKong returned, he saw Nuan Nuan, the little girl, hugging a small pillow and gazing at the moon all by herself. She looked pitiful and lonely. As Lu HaiKong caught sight of the girl, she also noticed him, and her tiny eyes lit up. She happily rushed towards Lu HaiKong with her little hands flailing.
Seeing the girl running towards him, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but smile...
