1017 Puppet Blueprint

Although it was night, the brightly lit Wushan Town looked much larger than Baiyang Village.

Baiyang Village was surrounded by a wooden fence, but Wushan Town was surrounded by a 4-5 meter high brick wall. Soldiers were guarding the wall, and it looked like a small city.

When they arrived at the city gate, Shopkeeper Huo had a conversation with the guards on the city.

The city gate opened, and several soldiers came out to do a rough inspection before the convoy was able to enter the town.

The escort mission was completed, and the system prompted the player to follow Shopkeeper Huo to receive the mission reward.

After entering Wushan Town, the convoy went in another direction under the leadership of the captain of the escort team, and the players followed Shopkeeper Huo to a 3-story building.

Under the light, the plaque on the small building was inscribed with the words "Huo's Thousand Goods". This should be a grocery store, and of course it was closed now.

Shopkeeper Huo led everyone in through the side door and went to a place on the third floor that looked like a manager's office.

The servants lit the lights, cleaned up the room, arranged chairs for the players to sit down and have tea. They also waited for Shopkeeper Huo to go to the inner room to change clothes and wash up.

After a while, two waiters came to the players and arranged for them to go to the inner room in order to receive the task rewards. The mercenaries also entered together.

The players came out one by one with smiles on their faces. It seemed that they had gained a lot. They did not sit down anymore and were led out of the room by the waiters.

After two or three players went out, everyone found that the mercenaries they brought out were all level 1.

Everyone originally hired level 0 mercenaries, and it was impossible to hire level 1 mercenaries in the village. It seemed that the task rewards included the option to upgrade the mercenaries.

Everyone smiled at each other.

There were not many ten players. The researcher was the last one to enter the inner room with the explorer, Han Dong, and 6 mercenaries.

Before entering, the two players from Datang said that they would gather everyone to drink tea and talk about something tomorrow.

Please be sure to participate, explorer. The specific time and place will be sent to the explorer. The 10 players who were on the mission together added each other as friends on the way.

But who has time to drink tea at this time? Shouldn't they hurry up to upgrade? I guess there is something important to discuss.

Xiao Ming nodded and agreed. Anyway, he didn't pursue the upgrade speed or anything, so he had more time.

When they arrived at the inner room, Shopkeeper Huo personally greeted them at the door, welcoming Xiao Ming's two characters with a warm face.

The host and the guest sat down at a square table, served tea, and served a glass of water to the explorer.

Shopkeeper Huo's clothes were decent and noble, and the tea set used for the reception looked antique and extraordinary. The explorer used the archaeology skill and got 5 gold coins.

Shopkeeper Huo looked very kind, thanked the two for their help, and then settled the rewards for the two.

The explorer intervened in this mission as a shadow warrior of the researcher. The reward was not much, and the experience was withdrawn in advance by Mr. Guo for the transfer to the ascetic monk.

So he only got a little experience, failed to upgrade, and a dozen gold coins.

The rewards and experience of the researcher are very different. With a good impression of +15 with the Huo's Chamber of Commerce, you can use the relationship with the Huo's to upgrade your subordinates' mercenaries with gold coins (limited to 0-level upgrade to 1-level).

The explorer's mercenaries can also be upgraded together. The follower Han Dong cannot. He can only get the tactical experience gained during the battle and upgrade to level 0-level 3.

Here we need to explain some differences between NPCs. General NPCs are free NPCs with personal families, lives and backgrounds.

The mercenaries hired by players are generally arms creatures, produced and trained by arms nests. They have no personal background.

Xiao Ming's 6 mercenaries are arms creatures, while Han Dong is a free NPC.

So Han Dong can't spend money to upgrade directly like arms creatures. He must rely on training and fighting to get tactical experience to upgrade.

Of course, players also have the opportunity to hire free NPCs as mercenaries, which are more expensive than arms creatures, and they will also be compensated for death in battle.

However, the combat method of arms creatures is fixed, and free NPCs are much more flexible in combat, and of course there is also the possibility of not listening to orders. So this is also a double-edged sword.

Xiao Ming did not rush to upgrade the mercenaries, but asked the shopkeeper Huo about the puppet alchemy. The Huo's Chamber of Commerce is quite large. Puppet blueprints are naturally available.

After careful consideration, he decided to upgrade one of each of the four professional mercenaries to level 1 and assign them to the explorer.

He exchanged the remaining two mercenaries with the Huo's Chamber of Commerce for two level 1 infantry wooden puppets with some money.

Compared with infantry mercenaries, infantry puppets have slightly lower attack agility and slightly higher vitality, and no force attribute. The maintenance cost is much lower than the mercenary salary. It is considered a good cannon fodder.

He also bought some good things from the Huo's:

He bought 3 level 1 wooden puppet design blueprints - infantry, crossbowman, and scout.

The characteristics of the scout are fast speed, wide field of vision, and low combat effectiveness. Unfortunately, like the crossbow puppet, it is not available in stock, so I can only make it myself later.

He bought various blueprints and formulas that he could not learn and prepared to practice the fine research technique. It won't be wasted, and you can make a little money by reselling it after careful research.

I bought some tools needed to make puppets, and they are intermediate ones.

Although you can directly make puppets from materials using primary synthesis, if you occasionally use the tools of craftsmen to make them yourself, you can increase your familiarity with the drawings.

It is good for future research and development and production. This is strongly recommended by Shopkeeper Huo.

(Other players will also get similar advice when they have reached a certain level of favorability with certain NPCs.)

A book of the basic skill of "Repairing Puppet". Alchemists can only learn it in the Alchemy Guild when they reach level 2. The researcher was lucky to learn it in advance.

Basic puppet repair: Consume corresponding materials, mana, and strength to repair damaged puppets.

Some attributes of the puppet may be reduced after repair. The consumption depends on the puppet. Puppets with more than 70% damage cannot be repaired. Release range: 5 meters.

Then buy some materials, consumables, unknown antiques, etc.

After deducting these, the researcher also gained a lot of tactical experience, and the alchemist level was upgraded to level 1, level 3.

Get 179 gold, 21 silver, and 6 bronze. Level 1 is different, and the amount of money and money has changed.

When Xiao Ming thought it was over, Shopkeeper Huo called the explorer again attentively:

"Brother Explorer, please stay. I see that the little brother has been transferred to an ascetic monk, congratulations."

Xiao Ming looked at Shopkeeper Huo and the explorer and switched roles.

"Thank you, Manager Huo, for your kind words." He clasped his fists in return.

"Don't misunderstand, little brother. Seeing you dressed like a monk, others will know. When Mr. Guo presided over the job transfer ceremony for little brother, I was not far away."

Seeing the explorer's expression relax a little, he continued:

"Our Huo's Chamber of Commerce has a deep friendship with Mr. Guo. The chief elder of the Huo family is Mr. Guo's direct disciple. Naturally, he is also a monk.

The monks of Mr. Guo's branch usually buy things through the Huo family. Many monks also work in the Huo family.

If there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to ask. Hahaha."

So that's how it is. I think Manager Huo may not dare to fool me. Once Mr. Guo knows, he can't bear it. Now that he has been close, there must be a follow-up.

"I saw that Mr. Guo left in a hurry after presiding over the job transfer ceremony for little brother. I'm afraid there is something important.

I wonder if little brother can reveal something. My Chamber of Commerce can also see how to provide some help."

As expected, this is to inquire about information. Xiao Ming couldn't help but hesitate, wondering whether he should tell him.
