Chapter 48 Cooking Upgrade
There is a hill in the corner of the wall of Bao Cave. Most of the ores have never been seen before. It is difficult to judge the rarity, so there is no way to distinguish the value. The ores here are all grade 2-4, and there are several grade 5 materials, and they are also grade 4 ores. However, the value may vary by several times, or even dozens of times in different types.
The three of them can not take away much, so they cannot make blind choices.
"Wood, there is magic storage crystal!"
Leng Yun exclaimed.
In the middle of the ore crystal, there was indeed a crystal clear and slightly blue magic storage crystal.
[Level 3 Magic Storage Crystal], a crystal containing pure magic energy, contains a total of 3452 magic points, no more than 300 points per ingestion, and can be consumed once every 1 minute.
The magic storage crystals here have not been divided into standard and are all prototype crystals mined from the mine pit. Each magic storage crystal has a different size. Therefore, the magic energy contained in it is also different. The magic storage crystal is a consumable product. The crystal condensed by pure magic energy in nature is a pure magic crystal that cannot be used for production.
The dwarves have no mages, and warriors have low demand for magic. A large number of precious magic crystals are idle here and are generally used to exchange materials with foreign tribes.
Du Rongrong also showed surprise: "Let's take the magic storage crystal. This thing is dozens of times more expensive than the ore of the same level. If you have money, you don't have a place to buy it!"
"Just pick a few pieces of large ones, don't take more."
Among the many bad qualities, the dwarves hate the most is greed. Because of the greed of alien races, dwarves will suffer many disasters and countless dwarves' compatriots die from hunting. Therefore, Zhang Mu cannot be too greedy to avoid displeasing the dwarves.
Zhang Mu picked 2 large pieces of crystals with a fast magic storage capacity of more than 6,000 points, Du Rongrong and Leng Yun picked 3 pieces each, which also reached about 6,000 magic storage capacity. The average price of these 8 magic storage crystals exceeds 15,000 gold coins, and both magic storage crystals can be exchanged for an average level 25 gold weapon.
"Only take this little?"
The bronze beard was a little surprised.
Zhang Mu replied: "The human forging technology is not developed enough. Even if the high-level ore is brought back, it will not be able to exert its due value."
The bronze bearded head is very satisfied with the human race. Most alien races will find it difficult to restrain their inner greed when facing Baoshan. The human race does not greed, which is a precious quality. It is also one of the important prerequisites for interacting with dwarves.
Zhang Mu visited the collection room again, which stored 100,000 pieces of weapons and more than 50,000 sets of armor. Anyone who was stored in the collection room was at least silver quality. In addition, there were more than a thousand pieces of gold equipment and several pieces of Dwarf Treasures in the warehouse, which were dark gold-level!
Black iron equipment, bronze equipment, and dwarves are manufactured in a large amount and are used for sale without being stored in the warehouse.
There are hundreds of thousands of dwarves in the mine, with a total of more than 100,000 households, and each household will produce a young and strong man as a blacksmith.
The monthly output of black iron in Nonoah Gold Mine reaches more than 500,000 pieces. It is often sold to aliens or commercial institutions at a low single-digit price, or is too lazy to have trouble, and goes directly to towns and stores. The latter price will be lower. The output of bronze equipment is smaller, but it is sold better. The gold coins earned from it need to be subsidized for dwarf families, used to maintain mines, develop mines, maintain forging equipment, and update equipment, and buy food to support hundreds of thousands of people.
In fact, the dwarf guards the Baoshan Mountains and has the natural talent for forging, so he can live a rich life.
But the dwarves do not like wealth, have paranoid personalities, and have strong principles. No matter how poor ore is, they will never sell ore. Almost half of the forged equipment have been destroyed by themselves. This is the tradition of the dwarves. Even the lowest-level black iron tools, the dwarves will guarantee the best quality, although no one is willing to pay more gold coins for this!
"More than 100,000 silver weapons!"
"If you sell this, it will be worth at least tens of millions, not to mention fifty thousand sets of armor. The cash stored in the spacecraft by the Ice King is worth only more than ten million."
"This is nothing compared. During the glorious period of the Ice Demon Clan, it was only a population of more than 100,000. It was already very good to have the ability to gather tens of millions of wealth on the barren Despair ice field."
After taking humans to visit the storage, the bronze beard returned to the upper floor of the Nonoah gold pit.
As soon as a few people walked out of the elevator, a tempting smell of barbecue had spread throughout the Black Hammer Tribe. The dwarves did not eat at home and basically did not eat vegetarian food, so they all gathered outside for a group barbecue. Every household took out raw meat and roasted it directly with the work of the fire well and ate it. There was no cooking skill at all.
The dwarves do not have a chef profession, so the food processor is extremely rough. Although they often catch some precious prey, they cannot be handled well and cannot exert one-tenth of their value.
Although the food is simple.
However, dwarf beer and dwarf tobacco leaves have a unique flavor.
The dwarfs' beer is different from that on earth. This is fermented with magic plants and added some energy powder. The drink prepared is cool and refreshing. As for the tobacco leaves of the dwarfs, it is exactly the opposite, extremely hot. Taking a sip is like being thrown into a fire.
Enjoying ice beer and tobacco leaves together makes people feel the pleasure of the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire!
The Bronzebeard Master said carelessly: "You guys, come to my house and bring the three demon bear meat I ate yesterday!"
Several large pieces of meat with residual blood were sent over.
When Zhang Mu saw it, he was shocked.
This is C-class food!
The three-headed demon bears are overlord-level monsters, and they are overlord-level monsters around 40. Their flesh and blood contain extremely powerful energy. Humans generally have less than 30 levels. If they eat the meat of a bear on Earth and absorb the essence, they may also have the effect of increasing experience. Long-term use can strengthen the body, improve physical fitness, and thus increase a small number of attributes.
The bronze beard is clamped with tongs and placed on the fire well to bake.
"etc!"
Zhang Mu quickly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Mu said: "C-level ingredients are very precious. It is convenient to roast so directly, but it is also a waste. I just know some cooking methods, so I might as well leave them to me for treatment."
The Bronzebeard was very surprised: "Do you know magic cooking?"
The dwarf's eyes were concentrated, and Zhang Mu didn't know that it would cause such a big reaction. He didn't know that because the dwarf did not have a magic chef, he could only barbecue anything in the original method. Doing so would result in the energy of food not being stored for ten, and the dwarf needed several times of food to replenish the body's supply.
If there is a group of skilled cooking chefs to ensure food nutrition and energy to the greatest extent, the food needs of the dwarves will be reduced by at least several times, and the survival pressure will naturally be greatly reduced!
Of course, Zhang Mu didn’t know that magic cooking is sometimes crucial to a race!
"What, can't it be?"
"sure!"
The bronze beard's eyes shone brightly. The last time I ate magic food was bought from the caravan more than ten years ago. Magic food is like a rare benefit for the dwarves. Many dwarves can only eat rough and rotten food for their entire lives.
The dwarf brought more than a dozen C-level ingredients!
Food of this level is extremely rare among humans.
It has been almost a month since Zhang Mu left the ice field. Because it is difficult to hunt in the ice field, Zhang Mu usually does not go out and stays in the tavern of the ice field. He holds stocks of ingredients every day and practices cooking skills. At present, cooking skills have reached a bottleneck, and it is only one step away from entering the [expert level].
This is a precious opportunity. Zhang Mu may be able to break through the bottleneck with the high-end ingredients of the dwarf and officially enter the expert chef. After [Expert], that is, the life profession of the [Master]. The number of people who can become masters in any field of life is extremely rare. Now the chef with unknown whereabouts is a cooking master, and the dwarf bronze beard in front of him is a forging master.
Masters are very popular no matter where they go.
here we go.
Zhang Mu took out the magic pot he carried with him, controlled the magic pot to rise into the air, and directly put it in the three-headed demon bear meat. Then he put it in various complementary food ingredients, began to activate the power of cooking techniques, and began to stew the bear meat fiercely. The energy in C-level meat is extremely high, and the control ability of professional chefs is limited, so it is not easy to stimulate the entire energy of C-level food.
However, Zhang Mu felt that he had become a little different.
The spirit becomes particularly delicate, can penetrate the bear meat, understand the structure, and accurately input magic power. This is the impact of the Sleep Lake in Emerald City. The effect will last for many days, making people's spirit become particularly sensitive, and the use of magic power is significantly enhanced.
Zhang Mu adjusted the output of heat and magic little by little, and patiently processed the food. The tempting fragrance spread quickly. When the dwarf smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help but drain the water. Zhang Mu felt that the bottleneck of cooking techniques began to loosen, and the proficiency of the last one or two points was the most difficult to improve. At this moment, there was a trend of breakthrough.
"open!"
Zhang Mu shouted softly, the magic pot opened, the gorgeous flames gushed out, the meat pieces were brought into the air by the fire, and the golden soup evenly wrapped the bear meat.
"receive!"
Under Zhang Mu's urge, the meat absorbed the thick soup like a sponge, and finally fell back into the pot.
The moment of production.
Zhang Mu seemed to have had some sudden enlightenment.
The last bit of proficiency in professional cooking techniques increased, but it was not stable. Zhang Mu struck while the iron was hot, used magic storage crystals to supplement the magic, and then made a second C-level food, making 7 portions in one breath, and the cooking was stable at the critical point.
Zhang Mu met the standards of an advanced expert chef and immediately took out the scroll left by the chef to improve it. A brilliant light soared into the sky. Countless advanced magic cooking techniques poured into Zhang Mu's mind. At this moment, Zhang Mu had advanced to the realm of an expert chef.
"Tip: Obtain the title [Expert Chef]!"
"Okay, a breakthrough!"
Zhang Mu was overjoyed.
The title of Expert Chef is very effective, which can greatly improve the spirit and also have the ability and speed of cooking. When Zhang Mu cooks food, he can greatly increase his efficiency. When using the title of [Lord of Dawn] in battle, he can comprehensively improve his attributes.
"gourmet food!"
“Gourmet made from magical cooking!”
The dwarves rushed up, and everyone salied, fighting for delicious magical food.
Zhang Mu was able to process dozens of portions of food at the same time like the chefs at that time, and complete it in a very short time. It is unimaginable that he could make thousands of portions of magic food every hour, of course, the premise is that there is sufficient magic.
The bronze beard brought more than 100 magic storage crystals, leaving Zhang Mu without any magic worries.
Chapter completed!
