Chapter 894: Chapter 894
"True, Giants have limited combat skills because they are naturally very powerful. We don’t have to worry about Giants having special abilities that could catch us off guard," Lin Yucha came to the same conclusion regarding this information.
"Still, we must be cautious. Who knows what unknowns there might be. Giants have evolved over many years; they are part of a complete world system. It’s possible they have special abilities," Lin Yucha ultimately summarized.
"Let’s not fuss over it anymore. The Law’s aura has dissipated, and most things have been taken care of. Next, let’s see if there’s any advanced material we might need."
Seeking advanced materials remains a top priority, as one must never cease the search. Even if they couldn’t enter another world to seek them, the material market was always an option. Du You wasn’t anxious even though he hadn’t found anything over the past three days.
Their advanced combat skills were already considered abundant among those at their tier, and continuing the search had become habitual.
"I think many people max out their skills before entering tier four, probably just to increase their odds of finding advanced materials," Du You suddenly thought of the common complaint about insufficient skill slots.
In all the time since he became a Professional, aside from initially feeling a shortage of skill slots, he had never felt this way after reaching level 10. Perhaps it was just as he had thought.
"The Giant’s strength is a bit overwhelming. Our current power might not be enough. Let’s level up first."
With gritted teeth, Du You audaciously leveled up the strength of all three of them to level 33. Although it was only a two-tier promotion, the higher one’s level, the more significant each increase in strength.
It might not be apparent on the status panel, but in combat, the difference in power was definitive. And since they hadn’t leveled up much and had been at tier four for a while, they quickly adjusted to the enhancements.
By the fourth day, new information was released again. "This really is non-stop advertising," Du You remarked with a sigh as he looked at the latest announcement. "Eh, I didn’t expect it to be ."
The three of them examined the newly posted message, which revealed that the latest mission was a pioneering task, organized directly by the alliance. Hence, the Earth’s will was likely to follow suit comprehensively, increasing the drop rates considerably during the mission.
The most crucial aspect was the drop rates for lords. It was rumored that during such missions, the probability of lords obtaining various plans and blueprints would increase tremendously. This was to assist Earth in absorbing the will of the Other World.
After many years of development on Earth, it had always been this way. With such strong backing from Earth, the benefits for lords were naturally immense. A more direct impact was the sudden drop in prices for previously expensive blueprints.
Of course, the drop wasn’t substantial, but at least the plans in hand weren’t as precious as before.
"With the falling prices of blueprints, more people will probably prepare Crystal Coins to participate in this mission. After all, with increased drop rates, they have more opportunities. Some less common items may come on the market," Lin Yucha suggested.
After thinking for a moment, Du You said, "Keep an eye on external information. If there are useful plans or equipment, let’s secure them. Never mind the equipment, it’s too expensive and the prices keep rising. We’ll pass on that for now."
He too needed Crystal Coins and wouldn’t waste resources at such a time.
Lin Yucha nodded, quickly issuing the orders to their shop’s subordinates. To Du You’s surprise, within just a couple of hours, they had already made some gains.
"There’s a blueprint for a branch of the armed forces, tier four. Purchase it immediately, regardless of the cost." Du You didn’t want to wait. Blueprints, once they appeared, needed to be quickly secured before others could snatch them up.
These were tier four, incredibly valuable. It wasn’t until after securing the blueprint that Du You felt at ease to review it.
Storm Knight Camp Blueprint: Allows the construction of a Storm Knight Camp within one’s territory.
"Storm as the prefix, coupled with knights; it must either be a light cavalry or aerial cavalry unit," Lin Yucha analyzed softly.
"We can’t speculate more for now, but we’ll know when it’s built. It’s just a shame that the most precious blueprints like those of the Lord’s Mansion are still not so easy to find." These were one of the three key structures for a territory, and even now, they weren’t available on the market.
The price of such blueprints remained stable and valuable regardless of circumstances.
It appeared that only in the Giant’s world could high-tier blueprints be obtained. Du You too hoped to acquire the high-end blueprints he needed in the Giant’s world to effectively develop his primary territory.
Tomorrow was the day of departure. On the last day, Du You harbored little hope and merely roamed the material market with the two sisters. Before them was a massive pile of books. The heap held books of all sorts, as well as plenty of parchment and scrolls, and items like bamboo slips and stone tablets also had their place here.
The collection had piled into a mound; if these items weren’t images, they would have likely been damaged already.
"Feels like we’re picking through garbage," Du You joked, then began to browse through the pile.
As he looked through, Du You’s expression suddenly changed. He had come, unexpecting any finds, but now a book resonated with him. "The Astrologer’s Secret Book, is it a memoir?"
"What’s up, master? Did you find something you need?" The sisters noticed Du You’s reaction and immediately understood.
Du You nodded, "Lucky this time. Found a book, this one here."
As his skills gradually perfected, finding advanced materials compatible with his skills became increasingly arduous. Du You now shared the sentiment of others; if he found advanced materials, he might as well advance them.
Even if not put to use, securing matching advanced materials for the same skill wasn’t easy; it was almost a rare event. So it was better to purchase them when found. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
"This shop doesn’t have high demands. One piece of tier-four material will do, no equipment needed."
Du You didn’t try to bargain with the shop owner. Instead, he directly conducted the transaction through the rules of the Magic Network. By the time the shop owner might have had other thoughts, it’d be too late.
Within seconds, materials and books were exchanged, and the original copy of the Astrologer’s Secret Book was in Du You’s hands. Du You’s lips curled into a smile, and the next moment, he stored it in his personal space. Onlookers envied Du You’s action; it signified he had found something needed. Such luck was not to be envied.
