I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 429 - 222: The Official Opening of the New Map, Players Settle in Ximen

Chapter 429: Chapter 222: The Official Opening of the New Map, Players Settle in Ximen

Ning Zheng studied several mindless artifact spirit weapons again, roughly understanding the basics of this new technology.

Their intention was obvious.

Inferior quality Yin-Yang mindless spirit weapons were replacing the low-end mass-produced Divine Weapon market.

Of course.

This type of weapon itself was not too bad.

The only weakness was that the artifact spirit would not interact or communicate with people.

However, the artifact spirit’s maniacal wailing, murmuring, could be used to attack enemies.

For example, this modified version of the [Yin Yang Corpse-Slaying Sword], when it strikes an enemy, the wail, fear, resentment... these emotions of muddy qi, will crazily pour into the enemy’s body through the wound.

Causing a kind of soul-toxic damage, affecting the enemy’s essence, qi, and spirit in combat.

Very effective!

Because this toxin technology came from a toxin formula obtained by the Saint.

The blacksmiths in front of them, holding large syringes, using various muddy qi, injecting terror into the artifact spirit’s bodies, were all part of the process provided by the Saint.

"Really grateful."

Ning Zheng sighed, looking at the group of blacksmiths.

He thought the blacksmiths had developed it themselves, but it turned out to be technology from the Saint.

He had overestimated them.

Aside from bragging, they could do nothing else.

Although it’s normal, after all, what advanced technology could they have learned in just a few months?

But their bragging and pretentiousness always made Ning Zheng feel like this group of people was truly the top technical greatness in the Nine-State.

Not only did they swell, but they often led Ning Zheng to swell inexplicably, often warning himself to stay calm.

Truly accompanying them in swelling, self-righteously going to kill the Saint, to rebel, speaking full of fourth-day disaster world-overturning statements, would instantly become ice-cold.

"This Last Saint really has something going on." Jiucai Rong said, "The poison technique is quite advanced, especially the soul venom formula given to us."

This was a huge leap forward.

In Ning Zheng’s eyes, mindless artifact spirits were not overall worse than those with minds.

Perhaps the growth potential was slightly lower.

After all, growth with intelligence was more powerful.

But some introverted cultivators didn’t like those expressive artifact spirits, and some cultivators with big secrets also favored these mindless, unbetrayable weapons.

However, regardless of the market, the first batch of mindless artifact spirits would definitely be used on [Defense Towers], best for the first production.

Jiucai Rong said, "Also, we are planning to change the mode of our next sale."

"Oh?" Ning Zheng asked.

Jiucai Rong said, "In future sales, we will only sell mindless artifact spirit Divine Weapons, truly advanced weapons with minds, selling in a different way."

"How to sell them?" Ning Zheng asked.

"Blind box." Jiucai Rong said.

Ning Zheng immediately frowned.

He wasn’t very optimistic about applying the blind box model to such advanced weapons.

Jiucai Rong said, "Our blind boxes won’t be sold at sales events but will be sold at Ximen, as Easter eggs."

"Other tombs have Easter eggs; finding the tomb owner will yield rewards. Our tomb’s Easter egg is this hidden pseudo-human weapon among the crowd; if found, there’s a reward!"

If they can discover that their true form is a weapon, then they qualify to purchase it.

This is a new type of blind box lottery.

Even if you can’t afford it after finding the Easter egg weapon, you can sell the precious purchase qualification to others.

"This!?!"

Ning Zheng was somewhat stunned.

He wasn’t stupid and immediately thought that this sales method would bring enormous benefits!

Not only could it attract a huge crowd to come here to find "tomb weapons" and gain amazing opportunities.

It could also find a reason to let those Ember blacksmiths become residents in his new Ximen city, take on tasks, work, and continue to exploit them!

After all, the villa had no shortage of hands to take tasks!

Ximen also lacked a batch of competent backbones, brick movers.

"We plan to build a square at Ximen, a task board, for them to take on tasks from there."

Jiucai Rong proudly said, "After some practice, we’ll assign them some advanced city management tasks. After all, outsiders aren’t very trustworthy and might easily be spies."

"In our hometown, our villa is called Newbie Village."

"Once a blacksmith reaches a certain level and reaches Second Transformation, they can leave the Newbie Village to go to the new big city to continue moving bricks, working, and taking tasks."

"Our Second Transformation blacksmiths will have to go to the new city map to continue moving bricks."

Ning Zheng didn’t understand but showed respect, continuing to exploit the Dharma Aspects of outsiders, and now starting to exploit his own Ember blacksmiths.

"However, before this batch of blind box weapons is released into the crowd, they need some packaging."

Through the management room window, Ning Zheng looked at the square and saw the group of bizarre long-legged weapons, "After all, their appearance now is too easy to recognize."

"Um, the blind box indeed needs exquisite packaging. We are ordering a Puppet Master, and have already made an appointment through the Sword Fairy."

Jiucai Rong indicated it was already arranged, "After all, specialization is key. We are not very good at making humanoid simulation dolls. Our blind boxes will be packed into pseudo-human boxes and placed among people."

Ning Zheng thought it was very interesting, hopeful that tourists visiting Ximen would also like it, and nodded:

"This matter can already begin preparations."

...

...

In the next two days.

Tower after tower of defense rose from the ground, obviously with defense power visibly increasing.

And after that assassination incident, everything was calm.

Sometimes Ning Zheng even wondered if those were assassins and they just didn’t dare to come back after one wave?

Just this level?

Ning Zheng felt he might have overestimated that scattered group of assassins; they guarded against each other and couldn’t unite as one rope.

Or possibly the calculations of this Saint were too precise.

Accurately evaluating the existence of each ancient secret realm, everyone feared there might be traps, hesitating and unsure.

No matter what those big shots planned, anyway, if the sky fell, the Xin Dynasty Saint would hold it.

Ning Zheng didn’t take himself too seriously, and those real big shots probably didn’t take the Xirong Divine Craftsman too seriously either.

This world values martial force above all, treating you as a scientist; you conduct your research, we engage in our internal struggle, typically not intersecting lines.

Ning Zheng took this opportunity to continue building his doomsday fortress city, and Ximen’s construction was roughly completed, plus Zhang Huaping also successfully became a mentor, her daughter among the first batch of students.

It was noteworthy that there were quite a few students recruited, with thousands from Pingchang City and surrounding cities.

The true major sects and well-established families were observing, having not sent any disciples over.

At this moment.

At the gate of Xirong Academy, there was a huge announcement square.

Above was a large notice board, posting various tasks and attracting large crowds of onlookers. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Is this an announcement board?"

"Sect tasks?"

"No, it’s city tasks, right?"

"Generally posted at the government office’s door, now posted here, just changing location."

"Rather interesting."

These natives weren’t unfamiliar with taking tasks, not to mention formal sects, even an assassin organization would post assassination tasks.

Now everyone was just amazed at how openly they were posted!

Posted where even mortals could access, didn’t that mean even commoners could take tasks?

As the crowd hesitated.

The Ember Food God, Ember Jiucai Rong, and a group of people appeared in the bustling Ximen after passing through a teleportation array.

"Wow, so lively."

"Second Transformation, feels great."

"So many NPCs, so cool! ~"

These Easter eggs had already entered Ximen in advance.

In their eyes, this was a truly open-world, a traditional ancient town full of cultivators coming and going, making their hearts surge with courage, eager to accomplish grand deeds in this world.

So.

They inquired of an NPC and headed straight for the square, ready to start their brick-carrying work in the new city.

"Make way, make way."

"Who’s pushing me?"

"Stop it, I’m here to take a task."

They squeezed into a crowd of NPCs, excitedly beginning their new life.

Because the wall area isolated the breath of the living and the dead, even the breath of artifact spirits couldn’t be sensed, no one knew whether these pseudo-humans were alive or dead.

"Is it rooted in the Earth Vein?" Ning Zheng transmitted a message.

The Sword Fairy replied, "Yes, it is. After becoming Earth-bound Spirits, they won’t fear being taken away, unless someone like Xu Huan finds the Patrol Envoy and the key."
