Chapter 205: Selling Golden Salmon, Sensational Market!

The effects of the Silver Salmon meat were very powerful; Jiang Qingyun did not want to give it up.

However, another Survivor named Ding Jiacheng replied: "I asked, and those guys are also asking for an exorbitant price. Each one is demanding a price even more outrageous than that Great Lord Cao Xing. It's like they conspired together; they all just want to rip us off."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyun's expression grew even gloomier.

He had originally planned to use his connections to find another way to purchase Silver Salmon meat.

But in order to show off his strength, he had used the [Ice Dragon Horn] right from the start, and the attack of a large number of Ice Nest Monsters had occupied Jiang Qingyun's attention.

At this moment, he simply could not spare the attention to do anything else.

Just then, the Survivors noticed a change in the market.

A Survivor named Wang Zunxian exclaimed: "Brothers, quick! Go to the market! Great Lord Cao Xing is making a big move again!"

"This time, it seems to be even more terrifying fish meat!"

"What? There's more?"

The Survivors all knew how powerful the effects of the Silver Salmon meat were.

Yet now, someone was saying that even more powerful fish meat had appeared on the market.

They all immediately opened the [Market].

And when everyone saw the consignment information on it, their pupils instantly constricted!

[Consignment Item: Golden Salmon Meat (Gold)]

[Inventory Stock: Small Amount]

[Required Items: Same-grade Golden Skill Book, Magic Plant Seeds, or other items]

[Consignor: Cao Xing]

[Seller's Note: Extremely rare Golden Salmon meat, extremely powerful attribute bonuses. If you have same-grade Golden items, you can private message me. PS: Excluding people from Wangjiang Pavilion.]

…

At this moment, the Survivors were silent for a moment.

Then, there were intense exclamations!

"Holy crap! This is too outrageous! Directly increasing 2000 Health, 20 Constitution, and 10 Population—what kind of god-tier fish meat is this?"

"That's right, it's really too outrageous. My current Health is only just over 2000; this fish meat could almost double my Health!"

"Brothers, I feel like 100g of this fish meat is worth at least 10,000 Ice Dragon Marks. I'm still short 9,000; who can lend me some? I will definitely repay you heavily in the future!"

"Hahaha, don't even think about it, upstairs. Why would Great Lord Cao Xing use such precious fish meat to trade for Ice Dragon Marks? Didn't you see what he said? He needs same-grade Golden items. Hurry up and rummage through your warehouses to see what treasures you can use to trade with Great Lord Cao Xing."

"Those who have treasures, hurry up and private message Great Lord Cao Xing!"

For a time, Cao Xing received a large number of private messages.

Cao Xing began to click through them one by one to check.

Hu Qin: "Great Lord Cao Xing, I have a Golden skill book for a Snowfield Hunter called [Hunter Perception]. Do you need it?"

Fan Herong: "Hello, I have a Golden fishing rod here called [Black Dragon Wood Fishing Rod]. Can I trade it for 5 portions of Golden Salmon meat?"

Hong Chaojiang: "Kid, you're targeting our Wangjiang Pavilion, right? Just you wait, you'll see what's coming to you!"

…

After spending over ten minutes, Cao Xing roughly scanned through the private messages.

He indeed found quite a few good things among them!

Of course, there were also some people who insulted him via private message.

For these people, Cao Xing simply didn't care at all and casually blocked them.

If he met them in the future, he would just deal with them then.

After patiently reading the private messages for half an hour, Cao Xing found a few items worth buying.

Several of these items even made Cao Xing feel quite tempted!

"Not bad at all. Sure enough, once there are many people, Survivors will definitely have some good things in their hands."

And Cao Xing, after negotiating the prices with these Survivors, clicked trade for all of them.

[Transaction Successful: You obtained [Primary Mage Tower Construction Blueprint (Gold)], you lost [Golden Salmon Meat] * 400g]

[Transaction Successful: You obtained [Primary Knight Hall Construction Blueprint (Gold)], you lost [Golden Salmon Meat] * 400g]

[Transaction Successful: You obtained [Black Dragon Wood Fishing Rod (Gold)], you lost [Golden Salmon Meat] * 500g]

[Transaction Successful: You obtained [Source of Extreme Ice Skill Book (Gold)], you lost [Golden Salmon Meat] * 400g]

[Transaction Successful: You obtained [Faith Thought Skill Book (Gold)], you lost [Golden Salmon Meat] * 800g]

[Transaction Successful: You obtained [Transport Vehicle Production Blueprint], you lost [Golden Salmon Meat] * 300g]

…

A total of six items.

Accumulatively consumed 2800 grams of Golden Salmon meat, which was nearly 3 pieces of fish meat!

But clearly, this was an extremely cost-effective deal!

Or rather, Cao Xing had already made a huge profit!

With an excited expression, Cao Xing looked at the attributes of these items.

[Primary Mage Tower Construction Blueprint (Gold)]

[Blueprint Introduction: Can build a Primary Mage Tower in the territory. Mage-class professions can meditate and train inside, gaining 1000 Experience Points per hour, and can learn skills like Intermediate Ice Element Control, Ice Spike, Ice Wall, etc.]

[Armor: 200]

[Durability: 5000]

[Footprint Area: 172 square meters]

[Height: 18 meters]

[Construction Requirements: Lords Manor Level 6, Wood 10,000, Stone 5,000, Iron 3,000, Mithril 200, Eternal Gold Ingot 40, Magic Pattern Stone 20, Advanced Element Crystal 10]

[Construction Time: 63 hours 17 minutes]

(A Mage Tower containing magical aura; after construction, it can increase the prosperity of the territory, accelerate the training speed of mages, and increase the probability of attracting Mage-type creatures to join the territory.)

…

[Primary Knight Hall Construction Blueprint (Gold)]

[Blueprint Introduction: Can build a Knight Hall in the territory. Knight-class professions can train inside, gaining 1000 Experience Points per hour, and can learn: Intermediate Knight Swordsmanship, Knight Slash, Charge, and other skills]

[Armor: 300]

[Durability: 6000]

[Footprint Area: 294 square meters]

[Height: 8 meters]

[Construction Requirements: Lords Manor Level 6, Wood 10,000, Stone 10,000, Iron 3,000, Mithril 200, Eternal Gold Ingot 40, Magic Pattern Stone 20, Advanced Element Crystal 10]

[Construction Time: 67 hours 17 minutes]

(A Knight Hall symbolizing honor; after construction, it can increase the prosperity of the territory and increase the probability of attracting Knight-type creatures to join the territory.)

…

After reading these two blueprints, a satisfied smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"Not bad, not bad. It can actually increase 1000 Experience Points per hour. If they train without interruption, that's 24,000 Experience Points a day!"

"This speed is quite fast!"

However, increasing Experience Points was not the most powerful function of these two building blueprints.

Its main function was that it could allow Mage-type creatures and Knight-type creatures to learn skills inside.

Just this function alone made it worthy of its Golden quality attribute.

At this time, Cao Xing said with some regret: "But it's a pity that I didn't find a Golden blueprint for warriors, otherwise I have quite a lot of warriors in my territory."

"Like the Ascalon legion, the Wild Boar Warrior legion, etc…"

"If I build a Warrior Tower, it would be a great boost to my strength."

Moreover, Cao Xing also noticed that both of these blueprints required [Magic Pattern Stone] and [Eternal Gold Ingot] to build.

Besides this, Cao Xing remembered that he also had a [King's Altar] blueprint, which also required these two materials to build.

He took a look at the reserves in his backpack.

[Eternal Gold Ingot * 64]

[Magic Pattern Stone * 31]

…

Cao Xing shook his head: "Not good enough, these two materials are way too short. Looks like I have to collect some more."

So, Cao Xing changed the consignment information.

[100g Golden Salmon Meat = 20 Eternal Gold Ingot, 10 Magic Pattern Stone, limited trade, buy soon.]

After seeing the consignment information Cao Xing modified, it immediately caused a sensation among the Survivors again.

"Great Lord Cao Xing changed the trading conditions. Whoever has these materials, hurry up and take a look!"

"He actually wants Magic Pattern Stone and Eternal Gold Ingot? I think I only have five Magic Pattern Stones in my hand; I can't trade for one portion. I need to hurry and find someone to borrow some from, then come and trade with Great Lord Cao Xing!"

Previously, these two types of high-level materials in the hands of the Survivors in District 174 had almost been collected by Cao Xing.

Maybe there were still some people who had materials treasured in their hands, but since nothing had been brought out that was enough to tempt them, they were unwilling to take them out for trade.

But now it was different.

This Golden Salmon meat could be said to be powerful fish meat that exceeded the current level of the Survivors.

It was enough to make them empty out their life savings to trade with Cao Xing!

Even Survivors who didn't have enough materials started to mobilize their connections, borrowing these two materials from everywhere.

After gathering enough quantity, they came to find Cao Xing for a trade.

In less than a minute.

The 20 portions of Golden Salmon meat that Cao Xing listed were snapped up.

He took a look at his reserves of these two materials.

[Eternal Gold Ingot * 244]

[Magic Pattern Stone * 141]

…

"Very good! Now not only are the materials for building the King's Altar enough, but even the materials for building the Mage Tower and Knight Hall are enough, hahaha!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed.

At the same time.

Then, he began to continue checking the other few items he had just obtained.

Next was a fishing rod.

This was a fishing rod that was pitch black all over, with faint black snake-scale-like patterns on it, and it also emitted a peculiar smell of aged wood.

He took a look at the attributes.

[Black Dragon Wood Fishing Rod (Gold)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Durability: 477 / 500]

[Fishing Range: Rare-grade fish (Golden Salmon, Emerald Bream, White Silk Foot Fish…)]

[Maximum Withstand Strength: 2000 kg]

[Attached Special Effect ①: Black Dragon Power (When fishing, additionally increase 100 Strength)]

[Attached Special Effect ②: Black Dragon Breath (When fishing, can activate the aura on the fishing rod to intimidate underwater creatures, giving them a 30% chance to lose the ability to resist)]

(Equipment Introduction: Since technique doesn't work, then use brute force — Fishing Master: Tuoya Mann)

…

"Not bad, not bad. Although it can't compare to the Mad King Fishing Rod, this fishing rod, as a Golden quality item, can also be considered very powerful."

"And it can also catch magic creatures of the level of Golden Salmon."

"Next, I just need to get more Snow Demon tongues, or more advanced bait, and I can catch more Silver Salmon and Golden Salmon!"

Cao Xing was full of expectations.

Then, it was the two skill books he was most looking forward to.

[Source of Extreme Ice Skill Book (Gold): Frost Mage exclusive skill book]

[Skill Effect: Condense the power of extreme ice to apply a layer of Source of Extreme Ice to yourself or friendly units. In the next 120 seconds, Armor +100, and constantly emit frost aura, reducing the movement speed of enemy units within 5 meters by 30%. If the same target remains within the coverage area of Source of Extreme Ice for more than 5 seconds, there is a high probability of being frozen for 1~3 seconds, Cooldown: 5 minutes]

…

Seeing the attributes of this [Source of Extreme Ice], Cao Xing's pupils instantly constricted!

"What a strong skill!"

Clearly, as long as a layer of [Source of Extreme Ice] is applied,

oneself or friendly units are equivalent to carrying a frozen aura, constantly affecting the movement speed of surrounding enemies, and it also comes with control effects.

Just these two attributes alone make it worthy of a Golden quality skill book!

Moreover, after the bonus of [Eternal Power], this skill will also usher in a qualitative change!

"Very good!"

Suppressing his excitement, Cao Xing checked the attributes of the second Golden skill book.

[Faith Thought Skill Book (Gold): Aurora Knight exclusive skill book]

[Skill Effect: Condense the power of faith to increase the Mental Resistance of all friendly units in the nearby area by 50%, and add an effect of immunity to one instance of mental control, duration 150 seconds, Cooldown 4 minutes.]

…

This is a skill aimed at mental attacks.

It sounds like the effect isn't that great, yet its importance is no less than skill books like [Holy Shield].

Especially when encountering demon-type creatures, this skill can exert miraculous effects.

For example, Isabelle's [Repentance] cannot exert effects on creatures with the [Faith Thought] status.

"Not bad, not bad. Although this skill book cost me 800g of Golden Salmon meat, its effect is also very powerful."

Cao Xing was very satisfied.

Then, he took out the last blueprint.

[Transport Vehicle Production Blueprint]

[Blueprint Introduction, can build a transport vehicle that can transport ore or personnel through a Mechanical Factory, requiring Magic Energy Crystals to provide power.]

[Armor: 200]

[Durability: 4000]

[Maximum Movement Speed: 60 km/h]

[Maximum Carrying Capacity: 30 ~ 80 people]

[Production Requirements: Intermediate Mechanical Factory, Iron * 1500, Copper * 500, Refined Iron * 300, Electronic Components * 20, Mithril * 50, Intermediate Element Crystal * 10]

…

Seeing the introduction on the blueprint, a smile curled at the corners of Cao Xing's mouth.

"Very good, with the transport vehicle, I can solve the problem of legion movement, and I can lead a large army to go to further places!"

"Not only that, the transport vehicle can also be used to collect resources, transport ore, and that Moleman mine can be put into operation!"

Moreover, Cao Xing also remembered that he had an orange item: [Shining Throne]. This throne can release a Shining Star every seven days, finding a region containing precious resources for Cao Xing.

With the transport vehicle, these regions with precious resources can all be put into operation.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing became increasingly expectant.

However, the transport vehicle requires an Intermediate Mechanical Factory to produce.

Cao Xing remembered that he still had two blueprints that also required an Intermediate Mechanical Factory.

And when he searched the entire market, he didn't find any relevant blueprints.

Cao Xing thought to himself: "Looks like I also need to find a way to get a blueprint for an Intermediate Mechanical Factory."

Thinking of this, he directly clicked to learn all three blueprints.

All gains checked.

Just when he was about to end this trade, a private message caught his attention.

The person sending the message was a Survivor named Yu Luanyu.

Yu Luanyu: "Y-you… Hello, Great Lord Cao Xing… I have two Golden magic plant seeds here, can I trade them for your Golden Salmon meat?"
