Chapter 29 The Kobold Slinger
After a hunting trip, I got a total of 97 pieces of raw meat and a lot of other resources. However, the sacrifice of Flock and Bunker halved the actual harvest!
The ten kobold miners in the family are desperately collecting, and the speed is really fast! In the past, Jia Zhengjin himself could barely scrape together more than 200 iron ores in a whole day. Now 10 kobold miners divide the work and collect, and they can provide about 10,000 wood, 800 iron ore, and 800 copper ore every day.
According to Jia Zhengjin's observation of the moon at night, it is calculated that there will be about ten days before the next full moon night. So in order to recruit werewolves as soon as possible, all resources are now concentrated on upgrading the kobold lair.
[News] The kobold lair has been successfully upgraded to Lv2! You can recruit new troops!
[News] Kobold Slinger is open for recruitment!
[Kobold Slinger] They are very timid, but they can use stones to attack enemies from a distance. The hiring price is 15 raw meat, and the daily consumption of 4 raw meat.
"Slinger?" Jia Zhengjin tried to recruit one first, and a small thing that looked similar to an ordinary kobold immediately appeared in front of him. However, there is a pan behind it, and there is a basket full of stones in it.
After the upgrade, the resources collected by the ten kobold miners in the past two days were almost consumed. The materials needed for the next upgrade of the kobold lair will become 40,000 wood, 2,000 iron ore, and 2,000 copper ore!
The materials required for each upgrade are multiplied, and this number is simply terrifying! It seems that more kobold miners must be recruited in order to upgrade the kobold lair to the full level before the full moon night!
The recruitment of kobold miners requires more raw meat, and the daily consumption is also increasing. It seems that the most important thing right now is to hunt first and expand the team!
Jia Zhengjin recruited all the raw meat he had collected with great difficulty. This time, two kobold fighters and another kobold slinger were recruited again.
The raw meat resources were consumed in an instant and there were not a few yuan left, so they could only continue to go hunting, otherwise they would not have dinner!
The two-nosed giant elephant just now, in fact, can be defeated by sacrificing some kobolds using tactics. However, Jia Zhengjin thought about it for a while or temporarily gave up this shortcut like gambling.
First, looking for a lone megafauna like this would waste a lot of time. Secondly, the large number of kobolds lost in the battle may not be able to return the money. Third, even if you can get your money back. Instead of exhausting your mind to fight such dangerous creatures, it is safer to hunt small and medium-sized ones.
As long as you persist for more than ten days, and the werewolf is summoned on the night of the full moon, it should be no problem to single out this creature, right? At that time, it will be considered a real heroism, now let's work hard to save meat!
The newly recruited kobold fighters are called Xiao Ke and Duke, but Jia Zhengjin thinks it is meaningless! Even if they had names, they were just two stupid kobolds who couldn't think at all except obeying orders and fighting!
The team set off again and began to hunt the most chocobos and wicket raccoons in the vicinity.
The kobold warriors were still as brave and swift as ever, holding up their bone spears and chasing after their prey.
The addition of kobold slingers makes the battle easier!
Kobold warriors could not catch up with animals, but they could throw stones accurately and hit the target's body. Although the damage is not high, animals hit by stones have a chance to be knocked out, creating more hunting opportunities for kobold fighters!
After this trip, the hunting results were more than twice as much as before. When he returned at night, Jia Zhengjin brought back more than 200 pieces of raw meat. Leave 100 pieces of raw meat as necessary food for tomorrow, and recruit four kobold miners and two kobold fighters with the remaining 100 pieces of meat.
The team continues to grow, and the food consumption is also increasing. However, with four kobold warriors and two kobold slingers, the hunting results can be further improved, and they can be supplied.
The way of fighting to support war is the fastest way to continuously strengthen at present!
The whole day of hunting not only allowed Jia Zhengjin to collect a large amount of raw meat, fur, and internal organs, but also allowed him to directly upgrade to level 6, gaining a new skill point.
Upgrading from level 6 to level 7 requires 3200 experience points, and the requirements are getting higher and higher.
A large amount of animal fur has been accumulated in the warehouse, so Jia Zhengjin decisively added this skill point to [Making Leather].
After dinner that day, he took out all the animal furs in the warehouse, worked hard in the room until the early morning, and finally made all the animal furs into leather!
Leather is a very good resource, because it can finally be processed on the tool table to make a complete set of [leather hat], [leather coat], [leather wristband], [leather knee pad], [leather boots].
Most importantly, leather is an essential material for making crossbows!
As a long-range weapon with N times greater lethality than bows and arrows, the crossbow is also an important weapon for hunting! Before unlocking gun technology, it is definitely the most powerful long-range weapon!
The crossbow is powerful and has an extremely long range. If the arrow is poisoned, it is not impossible to shoot and kill small and medium alien creatures after a few hundred meters! When encountering giant slow-moving alien creatures, kite flying tactics can even be used, and it is safer than bows and arrows.
Jia Zhengjin will definitely reserve the skill points for the next upgrade!
A full set of leather clothes is obviously more beautiful than a fiber suit, and it is also better than a fiber suit to keep warm! Most importantly, the defense power is unmatched by fiber suits!
In addition to this, a large number of other leather furniture can finally be produced. Such as leather sofas, leather wardrobes, leather boxes, etc.
Ah, yes! There is also leather that can make bellows, which can greatly speed up the speed of refining metal in the furnace.
The next task is to collect raw meat to expand the team, gather resources to upgrade the kobold lair, and upgrade yourself to level 7, then unlock the crossbow and get more powerful weapons!
Filled with beautiful thoughts in his heart, Jia Zhengjin finally dragged his tired body back to the bedroom, lay down on the bed and hugged the sleeping Tina.
Like a kitten, Tina instinctively crawled into his arms.
Looking down at her beautiful face in deep sleep, Jia Zhengjin couldn't help lowering his head and kissing her vulnerable cheek. Even for Tina, he must improve his strength as soon as possible to obtain more strengthened power! He didn't want Tina to stay with him in this dangerous forest for the rest of his life, so he had to be strong enough to protect himself, to protect Tina, and to face this completely strange world. He was able to bring Tina to appear in front of all alien humans without any scruples, so that Tina can live happily in this world!
