73 Conqueror’s Blast Furnace! Lucky Professional!?
The Lord’s Market!
Zhou Zhou looked at the scene in front of him.
There were all kinds of stalls on both sides of the street here. Their stall owners were mainly humans, and there were also various life forms of other races.
“According to what Zhang Boen said, most of the goods sold here are what the Lords need. Most of the merchants here are either Lords themselves or envoys sent by the Lords to sell their territory’s goods.”
“Also, the members of the various factions are selling goods here while befriending the Lords who trade here.”
“He said that what I want probably can be bought here. Let’s hope we run into them.” Zhou Zhou thought to himself.
By talking to Zhang Boen, he had learned that:
The Lords of the High Continent summoned by the Supreme Will and the Scarlet Lords under the Crimson Overlord were not the only Lords here!
If a native life form defeated the Scarlet Lord and obtained their Lord Token, they would also be bestowed by the Supreme Will. Not only could they become a Lord, but they also had a chance to awaken their Lord Talent.
Creatures under the Supreme Will had fought with the Scarlet Lord under the Crimson Overlord for many years.
Countless Lords were born this way!
As for forces at the Kingdom-level and above!
They would even specially hunt Scarlet Lords and obtain their Lord Tokens. Then, when they conferred titles on officials, they would give them Lord Tokens so that they could awaken their Lord status and soar to the sky in a single step!
For example, the Cloud Gallop City Lord that Zhou Zhou had heard of was a Lord who had awakened his Horse Rearing Lord Talent by defeating the Scarlet Lord!
As for the mayor, Zhang Boen, he was given a Lord Token by the Aurora Kingdom and awakened his Lord Talent.
His Lord Talent was called Fish Water Lake. It was a Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent!
It could allow the territory to have a lake called the Fish Water Lake.
The Fish Water Lake would automatically produce a batch of young fish every day and grow in the Fish Water Lake. Moreover, fish that grew up in the Fish Water Lake would be larger and taste more delicious than normal fish.
This made this town, which was originally close to the desert and had a dry climate, become a rare town nearby that could produce fish food. It made Fish Spring Town’s annual income quite considerable, and the Subjects lived quite well.
He stopped thinking about it.
Zhou Zhou and Bai Yun walked into the Lord’s Market and began to look for the seller of the Conqueror’s Blast Furnace. They also wanted to see if there were any other valuable items to buy.
After asking three strange-looking Lords, Zhou Zhou came to a middle-aged man.
The other party was wearing a leather hat, old armor, and a huge sword on his back. His face was covered in frost, and he looked like an adventurer.
Beside him was a young man who looked like he had just entered the industry. He squatted on the ground and looked around from time to time, as if he was very curious about everything around him.
“I heard that you have the Conqueror’s Blast Furnace here?” Zhou Zhou glanced at the goods in his stall.
Most of them were second-hand non-military armor, Arms, Potions, and so on.
He was not interested in them.
“You want the Conqueror’s Blast Furnace?” The other party looked up at Zhou Zhou in surprise.
Very few people bought this thing.
Usually, only combat-type organizations with many members would require them.
“Yes, do you have it?”
“Of course!”
“One low-grade Bronze Conqueror’s Blast Furnace for 20 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores.”
“It can work continuously for an hour if you place a Green Bronze-Tier Mist Core in the Conqueror’s Blast Furnace. If you’re fast, you can extract the spoils of war from 1,000 corpses every hour.”
“Since you’re a new customer, I’ll give you a 20% discount. I’ll sell you 16 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores. Please patronize Harus often in the future.” A smile appeared on his face.
“How expensive! Is there really someone who sells this just to save energy? Which family could this guy be from?” The young man beside him looked up at Zhou Zhou and could not help but wag his tongue.
His eyes lit up when he saw Bai Yi who was beside Zhou Zhou.
However, he did not dare to look further and quickly retracted his gaze.
Zhou Zhou glanced at him without leaving a trace.
He used the common language of the High Continent when communicating just now.
This young man was actually speaking in the Cerulean Planet language.
Did he meet someone from his old hometown?
“What are you mumbling about?”
“I’m sorry, Sir. This newbie just arrived. Everything is new to him.” Harus patted him and smiled at Zhou Zhou.
“It’s okay. Can you make it cheaper?” Zhou Zhou said.
“It can’t be any cheaper. This is a Green Bronze-Tier alchemy item after all.”
“The Alchemy Technician in the association can only create five or six of them every month. I won’t be able to report back if it’s any cheaper.” Harus shook his head.
Alchemy Technician?
Zhou Zhou’s heart stirred.
Then, he did not continue bargaining.
“I don’t have many Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores. Can I use the Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores instead?”
“Sure, 10 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores for one Green Bronze-Tier Mist Core.”
“I want three of them.”
“No problem. Brother, come with me to the adventurer association to get it. I don’t have enough space for three Conqueror’s Blast Furnaces in this small place.”Harus’ eyes lit up when he heard Zhou Zhou’s words.
This was a big client!
“You guys are from the adventurer association?” Zhou Zhou asked casually.
“Yes, both of us.”
“This kid just joined us two days ago. He was still a Lord before he came. Now, he has given up his status as a Lord and became an adventurer.”
“Don’t you think he’s stupid? Others can’t even dream of becoming a Lord, but he gave up his status as a Lord voluntarily.”
“According to him, there are many people who give up their status as Lords like him. What do you think these people are thinking? They’re wasting the gift of the Supreme Will.” Harus looked regretful.
“You can be a Lord if you want to. I don’t want to die. Isn’t it good to live well?” The adventurer from the Cerulean Planet muttered in the language of the Cerulean Planet.
Zhou Zhou’s expression did not change, as if he had not heard anything.
Then, Harus closed the stall and brought him and Bai Yi to the adventurer association.
A moment later.
In front of the adventurer association.
Zhou Zhou looked at the scene in front of him.
This was a tower that was four to five stories high. Adventurers of different ages, outfits, and even races came and went.
Zhou Zhou and the others were quickly led to the backyard and saw the three adventurers’ blast furnaces.
These were three fiery red blast furnaces that were five to six meters tall.
There was a ladder beside it, and there was a Loots assembly line below it. It was specially used to send the loot out.
Zhou Zhou looked at it.
A text notification appeared.
[Alchemy Technology Product: Conqueror’s Blast Furnace]
[Grade: Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade]
[Product Effect: Place a Green Bronze-Tier Mist Core in the energy slot and activate it with the energy in your body. The Conqueror’s Blast Furnace can begin to extract Loots through burning. Duration: one hour.]
[Product Description: An Alchemy Technology product from the Gnome Kingdom. It is extremely useful when dealing with large numbers of monster corpses.]
Zhou Zhou’s eyes lit up.
In that case, could his 100% drop rate also be achieved through this Conqueror’s Blast Furnace?!
At this moment, there was a middle-aged man standing beside the Conqueror’s Blast Furnace.
After Harus’ introduction, Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi got to know that he was the Alchemy Technician who had refined the Conqueror’s Blast Furnace.
“Dear Sir, do you need the service of a lucky person?”
He said with a smile.
“Lucky Person Service?”
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
“That’s right.”
“As you know, Sir.”
“The drop rate of fog monsters is extremely low in the High Continent. The only loots that would definitely drop are the Mist Cores and some special items.”
“But there are also some life forms who are often very lucky.”
“Therefore, those who have a large number of monster corpses will seek these lucky people to specially extract the loot from the monster corpses, hoping to increase their profits through this method.”
“Over time, these people become official professionals.”
“In other words, they became the ‘Lucky Person’.”
The Alchemy Technician spoke frankly.
Zhou Zhou’s expression was strange.
What an eye-opener.
How could this become a Profession?
“How lucky are these Lucky People?” He asked curiously.
“Sir, since you asked this question. We have to specially mention our ‘Lady Luck’s Favorite’ Myers.”
“He’s the luckiest person in our Adventurer Association. He once extracted four ‘Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificates’ from the corpses of 100 Desert Fog Lizards!”
“He was the one who set the Lucky Person record of our adventurer association!”
“Haha, I’m afraid you’ve never heard of the ‘Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate’ being extracted from the Desert Fog Lizard’s corpse, right?”
“It’s not surprising.”
“We wouldn’t know either if not for the records in our Adventurer Association.”
“Would you like to make an appointment?”
“Myers happens to be free now. If you let him manage the Conqueror’s Blast Furnace, he will definitely bring you shocking benefits!” The Alchemy Technician looked at Zhou Zhou with shining eyes.
Zhou Zhou: “…”
Doesn’t the Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate drop 100% of the time?
Do I even need the Lucky Person?
Zhou Zhou muttered in his heart.
On the surface, his expression remained the same.
He rejected the other party’s good intentions and handed him 480 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores to buy these three Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade Bronze Conqueror’s Blast Furnaces!
He had a total of 33,231 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores in his hands, spending 480 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores to buy these three Conqueror’s Blast Furnaces was more than enough.
After that, he asked the other party if he wanted to sell the Alchemy Technology blueprints for the Conqueror’s Blast Furnace.
It was a pity that the other party saw it as a way to earn a living and refused to sell it.
Zhou Zhou did not insist.
There will always be opportunities in the future.
After that, they temporarily left the three Conqueror’s Blast Furnaces at the Adventurer Association and said that they would take them away after he called for help.
Not only did Harus agree immediately, they even said that they could help transport it for free. However, Zhou Zhou rejected them.
Then, Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi left the Adventurer Association and returned to the Lord’s Market.
A moment later.
They came to a place called Kunt’s Slave Market.
Zhou Zhou looked at the noisy scene in front of him with anticipation.
Whether his “Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificate” and “Poison Crossbow Soldier Class Change Certificate” could be converted into true combat strength would depend on his gains, if any, in the slave market this time.
The two of them walked in.
