Chapter 118: The Dragon Shop, Open!

After reading the update content, a look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

There were ten update items in total, all of which were quite important.

The first, second, and third items were all related to the Dragon expansion pack.

The frequency of Ice Nest eruptions would increase, the Dragon Shop would open, and the level of the Ice Nest Monster encountered would gradually increase.

A look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"An Ice Nest can hatch at least 500 monsters; killing them all can yield a large amount of experience points. Besides that, the dropped Ice Dragon Mark can also be taken to the Dragon Shop to exchange for items."

"So, if a Survivor encounters an Ice Nest landing near their territory and can manage to survive it, they will gain quite a few resources."

"And if they can't handle it, the outcome is the destruction of their territory and the death of everyone."

Besides these, there were some updates that were more realistic.

The drop rate for recruitment scrolls was lowered, and the Reputation interface was opened.

In other words, if Survivors wanted to recruit those powerful subordinates, they would need to have more contact with the natives of this world.

And the Reputation attribute became even more important.

The higher the reputation, the greater the probability of recruiting those powerful natives, or natives with special abilities, whether at the tavern in their own territory or at taverns around the world.

Another item, increasing the drop rate of training books and Heart of Strength, was to guide Survivors toward developing legions.

However, whether taking the legion route or the elite route, it was the same for Cao Xing.

Because he had the SSS-grade Eternal Power talent, he was naturally much stronger than other Survivors by a large margin.

Moreover, the more people he had under his command, the more terrifying the bonus of the Eternal Power talent became.

Then, Cao Xing took another look at the [Reputation Interface].

[Reputation: 1100 (Little Known; when initiating tavern recruitment, there is a 5% + 5% probability of attracting Elite-grade creatures, 1% + 5% probability of attracting Leader-grade creatures, and 0.01% + 5% probability of attracting Boss-grade creatures)]

(Note: Because your territory holds the 'Land of Hope' title, the recruitment probability for strong individuals of all tiers increases by 5%.)

Seeing the note at the end, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly constricted.

"The probability for strong individuals of all tiers increases by 5%?"

"Holy shit!"

Cao Xing was incomparably shocked. One could tell from the 0.01% probability of Boss-grade creatures just how difficult it was to recruit such powerful creatures.

However, one title directly increased the probability by 5%, and when added up across all tiers, it even exceeded 20%.

In other words, every time Cao Xing used the tavern recruitment function in the future, there would be a significant probability of recruiting creatures above the Elite level.

Cao Xing said happily, "This title is really fierce! It would be great if I could get a few more titles like this!"

However, territory titles were a hidden feature and were triggered randomly.

Even Cao Xing didn't know how to unlock the next title.

Therefore, if he wanted to increase the probability of recruiting powerful creatures, he would have to work on his Reputation.

And in Cao Xing's hands, he currently had a map of the Gale Snowfield, marked with the locations of various hunter strongholds.

Once his strength improved, he could use this map to continuously wipe out those hunter strongholds and farm Reputation!

For a moment, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel some anticipation.

And besides these, there was another update that Cao Xing was even more looking forward to.

That was the opening of the Dragon Shop!

This time, he had collected a lot of Ice Dragon Mark in advance, just waiting for the new expansion pack to open, hoping to exchange them for some good things.

"The shop is finally open; let me see what's inside."

With excitement, Cao Xing clicked on the Dragon Shop.

In an instant, a dazzling array of goods appeared before Cao Xing.

He took a casual look.

[Dragon Shop Treasure Chest Exchange Interface]

[Cold Bronze Treasure Chest]: Price 200 Ice Dragon Mark (Limit 100)

[Frost-Covered Silver Treasure Chest]: Price 2000 Ice Dragon Mark (Limit 20)

[Cold-Glittering Gold Treasure Chest]: Price 100,000 Ice Dragon Mark (Limit 3)

[Crystal Clear Bright Moon Treasure Chest]: Price 500,000 Ice Dragon Mark (Limit 1)

(Note: This series of treasure chests are the Ice Dragon 'Zhuoma' expansion pack chests, which can open some exclusive items.)

…

Cao Xing was stunned, "Huh? What is a Bright Moon Treasure Chest?"

You have to know, until now, even he hadn't opened a single Gold Treasure Chest.

And Gold Treasure Chests already had a high probability of yielding Gold equipment or Gold-tier blueprints and other items.

Could the higher-level Bright Moon Treasure Chest be… Epic quality?

Cao Xing was suddenly shocked!

At this moment, he became a bit excited, even wanting to exchange for a Bright Moon Treasure Chest on the spot!

However, the price was also quite astonishing.

It actually cost a full 500,000 Ice Dragon Mark.

You have to know, Cao Xing had only received 20,000 Ice Dragon Mark through large-scale trading over the past two days.

500,000 Ice Dragon Mark; it was estimated that no one on the entire server could afford to exchange for it.

"Looking at it this way, although the 20,000 Ice Dragon Mark in my hands can't exchange for a Gold Treasure Chest, it can directly exchange for 10 Silver Treasure Chests?"

Cao Xing was suddenly startled.

You have to know, Silver Treasure Chests had a high probability of yielding Blue Excellent or Purple Rare quality equipment.

A look of joy appeared on Cao Xing's face, "This wave is not a loss, 21 treasure chests; at least I can open a few pieces of Purple equipment!"

According to the Black Lion Chamber of Commerce's prices, the price of a single piece of Purple equipment was over a hundred thousand crowns!

However, he didn't exchange immediately, but suppressed his excitement and continued to check.

[Dragon Shop Blueprint Exchange Interface]

[Junior Frost Turret Blueprint]: Price 10,000 Ice Dragon Mark

[Junior Snowball Turret Blueprint]: Price 20,000 Ice Dragon Mark

[Intermediate Frost Turret Blueprint]: Price 100,000 Ice Dragon Mark

[Intermediate Snowball Turret Blueprint]: Price 150,000 Ice Dragon Mark

[Dragon-Blooded Warrior Training Barracks Construction Blueprint]: Price 200,000 Ice Dragon Mark

[Frost Catapult Construction Blueprint]: Price 300,000 Ice Dragon Mark

[Advanced Frost City Wall Construction Blueprint]: Price 500,000 Ice Dragon Mark.

…

"Hiss!"

After reading these blueprint rewards, Cao Xing gasped.

"It can even exchange for such high-level turret blueprints and catapult blueprints; this is too fierce!"

You have to know that until now, Cao Xing didn't even have an Intermediate Arrow Tower!

This exchange shop actually even released blueprints for Intermediate turrets and Advanced city walls!

Besides these, Cao Xing also saw some other miscellaneous items for exchange.

For example, a Junior Heart of Strength could be exchanged for 1,000 Ice Dragon Mark, and for example, a [Dragon-Blooded Warrior Training Manual] required 3,000 Ice Dragon Mark to exchange for one copy.

In short… there were many things in the Dragon Shop, and most of them were exclusive!

Exchanging for just one or two blueprints and building them would be a huge improvement!

After reading these updates, Cao Xing already had an idea in mind.
