Stray Chapter 2: Prepare

The huge platform is suspended in the dark and dead void. The soft white light sphere has become the only light source in the entire space. The vast vacuum environment is as vast and boundless as the universe.

There are two solitary doors standing on the huge platform square, one wooden door and one metal door. Although there are twice as many as before, they still seem to be lonely.

"Master, I'm all set!"

Standing upright under the ball of light emitting soft light, Artoria stared at Xia Ran's eyes earnestly. Indescribable momentum.

In fact, she's been in this bizarre state of excitement since the other day.

The main reason is because of this upcoming mission again-

It's not that she really can't be idle for a moment, but Xia Ran told her before that she suddenly had a whim before the task date, and suddenly felt that it was very likely that the next task would be to return to Go into the world of Fate.

And this kind of whim is a bit strange, making him not sure that he will return to the original world line this time, and even has a strange premonition that maybe this time there may be a chance... …

Maybe it's impossible to say, and Saber's long-cherished wish can be fulfilled in advance... Of course, this is only a vague feeling of him.

But even so, Saber couldn't sit still for a while, because the miracle that he was searching for seemed to be about to come, and even the battle-hardened king of knights couldn't keep it up. Calm, although Xia Ran repeatedly reminded her that she could not guarantee absolute accuracy.

It's just a hunch. After all, if you reach the realm, you can often receive the flow of mysterious information in the dark.

A lot of times, just like her Transcendent A Grade intuition, there is no reason to say it, maybe I haven't realized what happened, but I just know that something is going to happen... But the reverse is also possible error.

That is to know that something is going to happen, and I have made a judgment based on the intelligence gathering, but the final result is very different, such a thing is completely possible.

After all, the world is constantly changing all the time. It is a superposition of infinite possibilities. After all, before the box is opened, it is possible for the cat to die or live. Guessing is speculation, not certainty. the result of.

"I know, but you still have to be well prepared... If there is a real chance this time, then we will try our best to seize it, but if you don't fight a battle without preparation, Saber, you probably don't want to be here It's going to fall short at the last minute."

Xia Ran nodded to the serious knight king, and said this very seriously. For Arturia, who was in such a state of excitement, it was necessary to have such an attitude.

"I agree with this."

Saber nodded vigorously, agreeing with this, the Master's attitude towards this matter made her quite satisfied, and then in a tone of inquiry, she asked, "But what should we do to prepare? ?"

"It's easy, spend money."

Xia Ran said without hesitation, opened her personal page and took a look at her current account balance.

Whether it is karma or points, a considerable amount has been accumulated, although it is still very useless in fact, it may be just to buy a legendary equipment item, and it is necessary to directly remove most of the savings.

But if you don't set the target directly above the legendary standard, then this is still a considerable wealth, and Xia Ran doesn't really need any finished legendary equipment items. .

He is in a divine suit, and he lacks everything, and the skill level of "Item Creation" has been brushed to such a high level that all kinds of alchemy, enchanting, and forging can reach the overall gold level, all he needs to pay is Just time and energy.

So if you have the conditions, isn't it bad to buy raw materials directly at a lower price?

Opening the exchange list and taking a look, Xia Ran was satisfied to find that there was no problem with this idea. The hoarding of raw materials in the space is still very rich. Rely on this way to earn certain points.

Simply put, it's like the original Elder Scrolls world.

Many low-level lost people are reluctant to take the risk and explore the various tombs against the powerful undead, magical creatures, resurrected dragons and other enemies that inhabit the depths of the lair, because although the benefits are quite high High, but the risk is also huge.

In such a high-magic world, even roadside robbers can use two-handed spells. Otherwise, how can they survive in the sinister wild environment?

So low-level lost people don't want to take such a big risk, so they can only be a little more aggressive in other areas. After all, those worlds are full of treasures, and all kinds of scarce magical plants and magical minerals are not only very sinister. place only.

Although the price of raw materials is definitely lower in comparison, it is often not as good as the finished product that has been technically refined, but as long as you have enough liver, you can always make a little bit of money... To put it bluntly, this is a game of gold and bricks work.

Although the efficiency is a little lower, the risk is also much lower, and it is natural to do these tasks if you are not skilled. Besides, this is a business with no capital. If you make good use of the task time of a year and a half, you can make a small profit.

Especially for those who are just starting out, if they can earn 10,000, 20,000 or tens of thousands of points in this way, they may be able to purchase more than a dozen free attribute points and bring back a few low-level items. The magic equipment or a few spell books, it is always a good harvest.

This also leads to the fact that the raw material reserves in the space are often very abundant, forming a stable ecology——

Low-level strays move bricks in this way, hoarding a lot of raw materials, and high-level strays generally have no shortage of materials when they have the capital to start developing various crafting skills.

At least for a long time, until the specialties of a certain world are also exhausted in the space reserve...but that is not a big deal, because every moment there are lost people entering different The world of quests will bring back something new.

Many materials are often replaced, at most, the usage needs to be slightly modified, so don't worry about this.

And over time, many skilled blacksmiths, alchemists, pharmacists and other occupations in the space have truly mastered physical properties, and can use various materials with similar characteristics to blend and make various equipment and props.

Instead of just recognizing the truth, the production and reconciliation must be made according to the original drawings, recipes, and formulas. If there is no special product of a certain world to cooperate, then the relevant production methods mastered are equivalent to being directly abolished, and the brain is completely useless. won't turn...

"Saber, go to the square now and have a look. If you need anything, or if you think it's useful to you, buy it... I can't go now, so you can only make up your own mind."

While browsing the raw material options in the exchange list, Xia Ran estimated how much she would like to buy, and said to Artoria—

"By the way, didn't you open a space mainline before? It is estimated that during this period of time, equipment items and various specialties in that world should be more popular. You can see what is suitable and sweep a batch of goods. Or..."

He pulled down the list and flipped the page again, just in time to see some familiar items among the newly listed items.

Great recovery medicine, strange power seeds, paralysis traps, hooks...

Just a little stunned, I immediately remembered a space mainline that is going on now, so I said so.

"Huh? Can Master be specific?"

Altolia was a little puzzled, but she asked sternly. After all, although the Master's current financial resources are not bad, it is not an unlimited waste of money, and she does not want to waste the points accumulated by the master and servant. crystallization.

“That world also has many unique features, such as the forging technology of weapons and armor, which can also slay dragons in the magical world, and the various attack beads that are made by primitive alchemy. Just like the gem setting in the game..."

Xia Ran expressed his opinion: "This is not without merit, if it can be mass-produced, it can smash the military force of the elite level... and their medicines are also very unique, those healing medicines and magic The life potion on the side makes no difference."

But it is also forced out by the environment. Human beings in that world are vulnerable groups, and various natural disasters generally stand at the peak of the ecology, and even powerful creatures that surpass the ecology are the masters of the world.

Perhaps there are monster-like warrior king individuals in the hunters. Maybe they are more ferocious than the ancient dragon, but they are also very few among the very few, the special cases among the special cases, and most of the others are still vulnerable.

Hunting is impossible without accidents. If every time you get injured, you have to slowly recuperate for three or five months... Humanity would probably have perished long ago.

In addition, the energy environment of that world should also be very active, so that so many powerful creatures that can control various energies can be reproduced. In fact, it can be said that it is a magical world with a twisted style.

So just like the development of alchemy, in the aspect of healing medicine, a branch of magic specialization is probably also pointed out, using materials that are already rich in active energy to produce finished products with magical effects.

"Anyway, go check it out, I'll have a look here and see if I can buy the recipe and those plant seeds and stuff like that..."

Xia Ran pondered for a while, and felt that she should also consider the matter of self-produced and self-sold, anyway, it is not difficult.

As if thinking of something, he looked up at Saber:

"By the way, it is estimated that with the mobility of the lost, they should have defeated a lot of ancient dragons by now. Anyway, you can buy some dragon eggs. If not, see if there is blood of ancient dragons, and try to use relevant materials as much as possible. Buy some..."

After all, he's pretty good at biomimicry, albeit with magic rather than science.

But human body refining can do it, and it's not impossible to try a different world version of Jurassic Park.
