Chapter 17 Frost
Wild Boar Ridge, because before Xiao Tianlei discovered this place, he encountered a wild boar, and was too lazy to think about his name, so he simply gave such a tacky name. Wild Boar Ridge surrounded by mountains, and there were several narrow entrances and exits, but now they were blocked by high walls made of muddy stones, blocking some wild beasts and beasts outside from entering. A river more than 20 meters wide crossed through, and the river water was not slow, flowing dullly, making a faint roar, and the river water also brought some turbidity. The two sides of the river were arranged regularly, very regular, although only a part of it was cultivated, it had been hundreds of acres. Various crops were planted in the fields. At this time, it was green and full of vitality. Some men and women were busy in it, and laughter came from time to time.
"Hey hey...hey hey..."
With the sound of slogans, a water truck on the riverside was towering and creaking. The water truck slowly rotated under the impact of the water flow, and the crunch gradually became smaller and the water truck became smoother and smoother.
On some of the higher platforms around, some houses of all sizes were built, most of which seemed very simple and could only barely shelter from the wind and rain. However, it can be seen that the houses have different functions, such as housing, workshops, breeding farms, canteens, schools, martial arts training grounds, warehouses, bathhouses, etc.
The warehouse is a relatively well-built house. In one of the warehouses, some wooden shelves made of logs are placed around it. The shelves are divided into three layers, and each layer is divided into some squares. Each square is placed with materials, minerals, metals, medicinal materials, leather, cloth... It is classified into categories. Each type is labeled and records the name, weight and other information in detail.
In the center of the warehouse is a table made of logs. Above the table, a strange scene occurs. The metal on the table flies into the air, merges into one, and then stretches, twists, and quickly turns into a metal bow. The bow is light blue all over, with an ice crystal texture, and even the bowstrings are the same. In addition, there are thirty metal arrows, with strange-shaped clusters of arrows, flashing with beautiful and dangerous dark blue light.
"Brother, this bow looks so beautiful!" Xiao Tianfu praised sincerely.
"It looks pretty good, but I don't know how powerful it is, so it shouldn't be too bad."
The synthesis of the bow and arrow was completed and fell into Xiao Tianlei's hands. A little coldness came from his hand. Xiao Tianlei also felt a little emotional. This was a game gold coins earned from childhood to years of hard work, using the Ice Sagittarius hero template to hunt many wild beasts, plus the hard work of cold iron, black iron, fine gold, plus some fine iron, silver, and gold, which made this Ice Sagittarius' weapon - the Ice Bow.
Xiao Tianlei looked at it carefully and handed the ice bow to Xiao Tianfu's hand with a longing look on his face. Xiao Tianlei fiddled with it and couldn't wait to say, "Then let's try it now?"
"No hurry, there are still some things that have not been finished."
Xiao Tianlei was also a little expectant, but he was not in a hurry to try it. He sat down on the notebook on the table to make some records. The various metals used to synthesize the ice bow, and the proportions were simply calculated. Then the two left the warehouse and arrived at a shooting range dedicated to archery.
There are only some wooden targets in the shooting range, but they cannot test the power of the ice bow, so they can only try it simply.
When using the ice bow in general, it has excellent conductivity of the qi, which can save more than half of the qi and increase the power of the qi, so that the general qi will also have some cold properties. Even if you don’t use arrows, you can shoot arrows condensed by the qi, but the range is limited. Using the supporting arrows, the lethality will be greater. The arrows can attach to the qi and do not dissipate due to distance. The special shape and material of the arrow cluster makes it have the effect of breaking armor and tearing wounds, but there are fewer thirty arrows, so you have to save some use. If you use ordinary arrows, the effect will definitely not be that good. You may try to cast them according to the style and metal ratio yourself.
Xiao Tianlei used the Ice Shooter template to use the Ice Bow. The power of the Ice Bow is truly revealed. He can shoot a frozen qi arrow at a moment, and he can freeze a bowl of water at once and shoot it at others. Naturally, he can achieve the freezing effect. As for using the Ice Shooter's Ten Thousand Arrows to fire such a range of damage skills, if he wants to win with the number of people when he encounters a place, his tactics are correct and he can fight with one person's strength. Xiao Tianlei also tried the Ten Thousand Arrows to fire the skills. It is not difficult to shoot seven Giant Arrows to shoot. The difficulty lies in making every arrow hit. If you want to use it proficiently, you have to practice continuously.
It can be seen from the Ice Bow that the various functions of the system equipment are achieved through some properties of Qijin.
Needless to say, cold iron can increase the power of the frozen qi; black iron can make the weapon armor stronger and sharper; fine gold can also make the weapon sharper, and another function is to condense the qi, which can easily penetrate the qi of others;
In fact, this world already has a systematic understanding of Qi Jin, but the knowledge is like Qi Jin, and is in the hands of a few people, and ordinary people cannot reach it. Xiao Tianlei can only understand Qi Jin through the rules of systematically synthesizing equipment.
Of course, general metals also have their own functions. It does not mean that weapons made entirely of strange gold are definitely good. Essential iron can melt other metals, gold strengthens the transmission of Qi, and silver makes weapons more resilient.
After the Ice Bow, there were some strange golds. Xiao Tianlei upgraded the Wuji Sword, which was indeed an upgrade. It was not re-melting and synthesis. Instead, based on the original Wuji Sword, some black iron and essence finance were entered into the original Wuji Sword. The sword body had not changed substantially, but there were some subtle changes, and it was easier to swing. The originally bright silver sword body was a little darker and a light gold color. Originally, the Wuji Sword was better than ordinary weapons, and now it was upgraded to a high-quality weapon. Xiao Tianlei tried it and used the Wuji Sword to chop the essence iron. Really cut the iron like mud. Ordinary essence iron weapons could be easily cut off without any damage to the tip of the nose.
After upgrading the Wuji Sword, there are still some game coins left, and Xiao Tianlei tries to buy equipment other than weapons.
First of all, shoes and speed boots. You can increase your running speed in the game. I wonder what will happen after purchasing it?
Xiao Tianlei clicked to buy Speed Boots. Some leather, animal bones, metal, and fabrics on the shelves in the warehouse flew out like a pair of invisible and clever hands. These materials were made into a pair of brown shoes that looked inconspicuous. Xiao Tianlei tried it on it. Not to mention anything else, it must be much more comfortable than the hemp shoes I wore before. The soles were strong and thick, and they were not afraid of hard objects hurting their feet. When wearing it, they would naturally run faster than ordinary shoes. After observing, the material used for the upper of Speed Boots was a combination of leather fabrics, which was warm, water-releasing, and breathable. The soles were made of animal bones and some glues in leather. It might not be difficult to imitate them. If you wear such a pair of shoes for everyone, I believe that the work efficiency would be much better.
There were still some game gold coins left, Xiao Tianlei bought a cloth armor, and a scene similar to the speed boots synthesis appeared. Multiple layers of cloth and leather were divided into pieces and weaved by bonding them from some glue in leather and animal bones to form a thick cloth armor. Xiao Tianlei tried it on, it was very light and had a certain protection ability. Generally, it took some effort to pierce swords and couldn't be seen when worn in the clothes. Another piece of system equipment that was not difficult to imitate.
Xiao Tianlei has no game gold coins now, but Xiao Tianfu has game gold coins. Xiao Tianlei has purchased some equipment himself, so he naturally will not forget his brother. After calling Xiao Tianfu, he clicked on his equipment page, bought a pair of speed boots, and a chain mail. The main materials of the chain mail are fine iron, some black iron, and some leather, and metal pieces are connected in series and stacked, and the defense is much higher than that of cloth armor, which is difficult for ordinary swords to pierce.
Xiao Tianfu's gold coins are from being left behind during this period, and the last time Xiao Tianfu saved the beauty, he brought a group of brothers to the big family who forced Luo Cuilian to marry.
Luo Cuilian is the girl rescued by Xiao Tianfu. This is the name, and her nickname is Luo Erya. After Xiao Tianlei returned to Wild Boar Ridge, he went home to visit him. At that time, Luo Cuilian also came to his home, and Xiao Tianlei met him. His mother, Jiang, was very happy about this matter and regarded Luo Cuilian as her wife. Therefore, Xiao Tianfu often smiled foolishly recently, and he wanted to go home to see Luo Cuilian every few days. Of course, Luo Cuilian didn't know the situation of Wild Boar Ridge, and only thought that Xiao Tianfu was doing business outside. According to Xiao Tianlei's idea, whether it was Wild Boar Ridge or other business, the less the family knew, the better, so as not to be involved, so that they could live an ordinary life. Of course, Xiao Tianlei's family is much better now than before, because he wanted to marry Xiao Tianfu's wife, his father Xiao Qinghe was busy asking someone to build a new house.
Originally, Xiao Tianlei wanted to switch the hero template and buy the power of Demacia and the initial equipment of the angel of Judgment. However, except for himself, others could not exert their power, so he had to give up and wait until he needed it later. This is also to save some fine iron. Nowadays, there are many places where the Wild Boar Ridge needs fine iron. Although the control in Lingzhou is not too strict, it is still a bit of a problem for ordinary people to buy fine iron. The important point is that most of the fine iron is hit by a blacksmith with one hammer. Recently, Xiao Tianlei went around the Wild Boar Ridge when he has time, hoping to find some minerals and smelting by himself, which can break a bottleneck restricting the development of the Wild Boar Ridge.
Of course, there is no other way, but this matter is still being prepared and cannot be achieved for the time being.
When returning to Wild Boar Ridge, Xiao Tianlei did not have a moment of leisure. He had to arrange too many things, including the current development of Wild Boar Ridge, and some preparations that must be made for future sales of tobacco.
There are so many things that need to be done, so the Wild Boar Ridge is insufficient. The first batch of fifty or sixty people who came to Wild Boar Ridge were no longer enough. There is no way, and they still have to do what they should do. They can only buy some Shanyue people through their grandfather Jiang Wudian to send them to Wild Boar Ridge. The money is consumed a lot, and the food consumption is increasing. Seeing that the expenses are increasing day by day, Xiao Tianlei has to face the economic crisis and must find ways to earn some money to maintain the operation of Wild Boar Ridge.
There are many ways to achieve it. A while ago, Xiao Tianfu and Qin Jincai and others brought a group of brothers and confiscated the big family, and they got a considerable amount of money.
There are many local tyrants and bullies in the countryside of Lingzhou. In Xiao Tianlei's concept, they are used to oppression and oppression. They look completely normal. Although those local tyrants always have their own reasons, they are actually just a prey on the weak, and have nothing to do with good or bad. Now Xiao Tianlei has a stronger force than these local tyrants. He has confiscated the homes of these people and killed a few of them. Xiao Tianlei has no psychological barriers.
Among the masked robbers who tried to loot Zhengjiazhuang last time, the real identities of the leading ones were some local tyrants and bullies. There are many people who openly shining and secretly doing something shameful in Lingzhou. Originally, Lingzhou was originally a place where prisoners were exiled, and there were many bandits and robbers, but later they gradually cleaned themselves up and got some new identities. In addition, those forces that forced their own candy business to be unable to deal with them openly, and they would not be able to deal with them in secret? The villages and towns where the major forces were located generally established fortifications such as Wubao, and there were also many warriors guarding the house at home, but there were their shops outside, and the goods had to be transported.
The more he thought about it, the more Xiao Tianlei felt that the profession of robbers had a great future, mainly because his current strength was enough to do this.
Of course, just robbing rashly will definitely make a mistake. Xiao Tianlei doesn’t want a few brothers who grew up together to die, so the brothers in Wild Boar Ridge have another training subject - robbery.
I am afraid of professionalism in everything, and the same is true for robbery. As for how to operate it, Xiao Tianlei has never tried it. He can only let his brothers play role-playing games. Some people play robbers, some people play big robbers, and some other workers in Wild Boar Ridge play some poor people and female relatives, simulate various situations and practice continuously.
"You're careless, you're dead!"
"Rare to make a breakthrough, you're dead!"
"Hesitate, you're dead!"
"The movement is too slow, you're dead!"
"If you don't pay attention to your feet, you're hung up!"
"You're dead if you don't kill me thoroughly!"
…………
It is certainly not enough to just say "you're dead". In order to impress them, Xiao Tianlei also set up some punishment measures.
"If you die the most, just lock up the small dark room!" When Xiao Tianlei said the most severe punishment, the boys didn't agree. They were just locked in a dark room. What's the matter? When they actually entered the small dark room, they only hurried for half an hour, and they cried and called their parents. When they came out, they were all crying. Some people didn't believe it and wanted to give it a try. After trying it, they swear that they would never want to go in again in their life.
Even so, everyone was still very enthusiastic about the exercise, and everyone exchanged roles and wanted to fight each other in various ways, so various strange scenes appeared.
The lively simulated robbery training scene has become the most popular program for many people in Wild Boar Ridge when they are free, and many viewers have also participated.
Just like playing LOL, a hero can practice thousands of times and can be used proficiently even if he is stupid. Xiao Tianlei believes that after continuous practice, these brothers can also deal with most of the situations encountered in the robbery, at least avoiding most of the dangers, let alone that his brothers are not stupid.
Chapter completed!
