Chapter 97: Advancement, Tier 2 Frost Mage

Chapter 97: Advancement, Tier 2 Frost Mage

Cao Xing started negotiating one by one, and after about half an hour of haggling, the prices were finally all finalized.

[Transaction Successful: You obtained [Primary City Wall Construction Blueprint], you lost [Frost Bombing Rabbit Meat (Blue)] * 2]

[Transaction Successful: You obtained [Intermediate City Wall Construction Blueprint], you lost [Frost Bombing Rabbit Meat (Blue)] * 8]

[Transaction Successful: You obtained [Primary Cowshed Construction Blueprint], you lost [Frost Bombing Rabbit Meat (Blue)] * 1]

[Transaction Successful…]

After a dozen consecutive system prompts, Cao Xing used 120 pieces of blue rabbit meat to trade for all these things.

This wave can be said to be a bumper harvest!

Just in terms of construction blueprints, he harvested 9 of them!

Plus 6 skill books!

Excluding blueprints whose functions could be seen right from their names, such as [Cowshed], [Bakery], [Intermediate Furnace], and [Vegetable Greenhouse].

Cao Xing still had five special blueprints on hand.

At this moment, the Survivors in the chat channel seemed somewhat unfulfilled.

But at the current stage, they didn't have many things on hand that could make Cao Xing's heart flutter.

After all, their levels were too low.

Therefore, when he sold bear meat and rabbit meat, he didn't set the prices too harshly.

Cao Xing nodded inwardly, "While earning massive profits, letting more people survive is the long-term strategy."

"After these Survivors improve their levels, they can bring me more and more precious resources."

After ending the transaction, Cao Xing directly closed the chat channel.

Then, with an excited mood, Cao Xing began to check the blueprints he had acquired.

[Primary City Wall Construction Blueprint]

[Armor: 40]

[Durability: 1200]

[Area: 10 meters long * 3 meters high * 40 centimeters wide (can be built with bends)]

[Materials required for construction: Level 1 Lords Cabin, Stones * 30, Wood * 20]

[Time required: 0 hours 24 minutes]

(Item Introduction: Basic stone city wall, can be upgraded to an Intermediate City Wall using the blueprint.)

…

[Intermediate City Wall Construction Blueprint]

[Armor: 120]

[Durability: 5000]

[Area: 10 meters long * 4 meters high * 60 centimeters wide]

[Required for upgrade: Level 2 Lords Cabin, Primary City Wall, Stones * 100, Wood * 50, Iron * 10]

[Time required: 4 hours 32 minutes]

(Item Introduction: A sturdier Level 2 city wall, can be upgraded to a High-tier City Wall using the blueprint.)

…

Obviously, these two blueprints are complementary.

Only after building the [Primary City Wall] can it be upgraded to the [Intermediate City Wall].

Cao Xing directly clapped his hands together and clicked to learn these two blueprints.

Then he continued to check.

[Heating Pipe Construction Blueprint]

[Attribute: Multiple pipes can be laid in the territory to transport the heat from the furnace indoors, increasing the temperature.]

[Durability: 100]

[Length: 1 meter]

[Materials required for construction: Level 1 Furnace, Iron * 5, Copper * 1]

(A tool that can enhance the happiness of territory residents, it is recommended that you build it early.)

…

[Intermediate Territory Storage Box Construction Blueprint]

[Capacity: 80]

[Materials required for upgrade: Primary Territory Storage Box, Wood * 30, Mithril * 10, Primary Elemental Crystal * 5]

(Intermediate Storage Box, can hold even more!)

…

[Primary Iron Gate Blueprint]

[Armor: 100]

[Durability: 3000]

[Area: 3 meters wide * 3 meters high * 10 centimeters thick]

[Materials required for construction: Level 1 Lords Cabin, Wood * 50, Stones * 30, Iron * 20, Copper * 5]

(Watch your gate.)

…

All three blueprints were quite good.

Moreover, after the novice protection period is lifted next time, these blueprints can greatly increase the security capabilities of the territory!

Cao Xing clapped his hands together and clicked to learn all of them.

Then, there were the six skill books he was most looking forward to.

Excluding [Firepower Amplification] and [Hunter Perception] prepared for Xia Yanni and Tong Chuchu.

The remaining two books were skill books for himself and Liu Muxue, two for each person.

Cao Xing took the lead to check his own two skill books.

[Ice Wall Technique: Condense magic power to create an ice wall 3 meters high * 2 meters wide * 50 centimeters wide within the 50-meter area ahead to block enemy attacks.]

[Ice Wall Durability: Spirit * 10]

[Maximum existence time: 5 minutes]

[Skill cooldown: 60 seconds]

…

"Not bad, my spiritual power is also approaching 60 now. With 600 points of durability, it can block quite a bit of attack damage."

"And I can soon advance to Tier 2, and my spiritual power will also greatly increase."

"By then, cooperating with the special effect of the Snow Mountain Robe, I might be able to directly summon two ice walls."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and continued to check the next skill book.

[Great Ice Spear: Consume a certain amount of spirit to condense a Great Ice Spear, dealing magical damage equal to Attack Power * 188 to the enemy, with a 70% chance to cause a 1 to 3 seconds freezing effect. Cooldown: 30 seconds.]

"This Great Ice Spear should be an enhanced version of the Ice Spike Technique. Both lethality and attack range have been greatly improved, and the freezing probability has also been enhanced."

Cao Xing was inwardly delighted, "Not bad, not bad, these two skills are both very good."

He clapped his hands together and directly learned all of them.

[Successfully learned skills: [Ice Wall Technique], [Great Ice Spear].]

Then, a fiery red crystal appeared in his hand, which was precisely the [Primary Strength Crystal].

It could allow him to advance into a Tier 2 being after reaching level 10, significantly boosting his attributes.

"This thing doesn't seem to have a failure probability. Since my level has reached it, I'll just break through directly."

Cao Xing directly clicked to use it.

The next moment, a pure power appeared within his body.

Cao Xing only felt that his whole body seemed to have undergone a certain transformation, and an incomparable sense of exhilaration welled up in his heart.

A system prompt appeared.

[Advancement successful: You have become an Intermediate Frost Mage, all attributes increased by 100%]

[Note: The all-attribute increase is a base attribute increase. Equipment-attached attributes and others will not receive the advancement bonus.]

…

A formidable boost!

The soaring base attributes doubled, causing his vision, stamina, reaction ability, and spiritual power to all receive tremendous improvements.

Every advancement is a qualitative transformation for any creature!

Cao Xing first put on the [Snow Mountain Robe], adding another 10 points to his spiritual power.

He glanced at his own attributes.

[Name: Cao Xing]

[Race: Blue Star Human]

[Level: Level 10 75 / 10000 (Tier 2)]

[Detailed attributes: Click to view.]

…

"Very good, Ice Healing Art can now recover 75 health points per second! Ice Armor Technique can also increase armor by more than fifty points. Dealing with monsters below Tier 1 now makes it impossible to die even if you want to!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed.

At this time, he seemed to remember something, "I remember that the Maitina Rosé Wine picked up on the mountain during the day can increase 10 points of spirit attribute, and the other kind of liquor can also increase 10 points of strength."

"Drinking a couple of cups while eating later should be nice."

Then, there were the other two skill books for the Aurora Knight.

[Holy Heal: Condense the power of Aurora to instantly restore HP equal to Spirit * 3 for a friendly unit. Cooldown: 30 seconds.]

Cao Xing muttered to himself, "Muxue's spirit should be around 50-odd points right now, and three times that would be a recovery figure of 160. Although it's not high, it's better than nothing."

The second one is called [Shield Bash]

[Shield Bash: Hold a shield and violently slam into the target, dealing 91% damage, and having an 80% chance to cause the enemy to fall into a 2 to 5 seconds stun state. Cooldown: 120 seconds.]

This is a good crowd-control and survival skill. If used well, it can achieve chain-control effects.

Up to this point, the gains from Cao Xing's transaction had mostly been dealt with.

It could be said to be a bumper harvest.

At this moment, Dahua came to Cao Xing's side and said respectfully, "Lord, dinner is ready."

"Shall I bring the food to your cabin first?"

Cao Xing shook his head, "No need, today we will also go to the cafeteria to eat."

"Right, Dahua, prepare a cup for everyone."

Through previously consuming the [Vitality Elixir], Cao Xing already knew that consuming items with buff effects could also receive the bonus of [Eternal Power].

Cao Xing wanted to make use of the red wine and liquor picked up today to increase the attributes for all members of the territory.

Soon, Cao Xing brought Liu Muxue into the cafeteria.

The [Cafeteria] was currently only Level 1, and the area was not large. It was still crowded with creatures from different races, dazzling one's eyes.

Snake-men, Shars, Tree Spirit Race, Centaurs, etc…

Cao Xing muttered inwardly, "It seems the upgrade of the cafeteria also needs to be put on the agenda."

"Otherwise there isn't even enough space for everyone to eat."

Seeing Cao Xing and Liu Muxue enter, all the territory residents wore respectful expressions on their faces.

The territory resident Cao Yi started his speech, which was nothing more than praising Cao Xing's contribution to the entire territory, as well as the bravery of the other warriors.

While he was speaking, Dahua and Erhua each held a bottle of red wine, pouring it into everyone's wine glasses.

The mellow aroma of the wine mixed with the aroma of the food instantly spread out.

Everyone couldn't help sniffing with their noses, especially the two Centaurs, whose eyes widened with excitement.

"Oh! Forefather Modier above, such a mellow wine aroma, this is top-quality red wine!"

"Kandaer, we can also taste such delicious red wine!"

Even the steadfast knight Assam wore a smile on his face.

Cao Xing smiled, then raised his wine glass and said, "Let us toast to today's efforts and our new members, cheers!"

In the cafeteria, all members raised their wine glasses and shouted excitedly.

"Cheers!!!"

Cao Xing drank the red wine in his hand in one gulp.

Before long, a system prompt appeared.

[Successfully consumed [Maitina Rosé Wine], Spirit attribute + 10, talent [Eternal Power] has taken effect, this status has become permanent.]

Not only Cao Xing, but all the territory residents present, including those Arctic People and the Tree Spirit Race, all gained attribute boosts.

They all widened their eyes and looked at each other.

But the next moment, everyone understood something.

"Praise Lord, your mighty power is as amazing as ever!"

"Praise Lord!!"

Cao Xing smiled, "Everyone, there is a second cup. This cup is liquor, be careful not to get drunk."

…

Chapter 3 is under review! It can only be unlocked in the morning, wuwuwu!
