Chapter 142: 142, Gold Plated Scroll _1
Translator: 549690339
As Su Yu listened to the butler chattering on, he headed towards the village.
At this moment, a commotion could be heard from the mountain path in the east of the village.
Looking towards the east, he saw a figure in red armor atop a white Howling Moon Wolf.
Of course, the figure was Sky Dragon.
She was merrily eating sticks of roasted meat while riding her Howling Moon Wolf towards the village.
Seeing Su Yu, Sky Dragon’s eyes brightened, and she waved her arm, shouting, “Boss, I’ve brought back a new group of refugees, and there’s a highly talented individual amongst them!”
“A highly talented individual?” Su Yu was taken aback.
Only 10% of refugees turn out to be talents, and within these talents, those with exceptional qualities make up only 1%.
Did Sky Dragon manage to trigger this probability of one in a thousand? It’s no wonder she is a top-ranked fortuitous player!
Su Yu quickly opened the management panel of his territory and checked the details of the latest batch of refugees.
Very quickly, he found the highly talented individual.
[John]
Occupation: Farmer
Trait 1: [High Yield]: Crop yield +30% when farming.
Trait 2: [Guidance]: Pass on personal experience to other farmers. Crop yield +20% for farmers receiving guidance.
He is a farming talent!
“Kole.” Su Yu looked at the old butler beside him.
“Yes, Sir,” Kole quickly bowed in response.
“There is a farmer named ‘John’ among the newest refugees. Appoint him as the ‘Agricultural Advisor’ of our territory, where he will be responsible for all the farmland in the territory. As for his wage…you decide, as long as it is within reason.”
“Understood, Sir!”
Su Yu nodded towards the little girl, giving a thumbs up, “Good job, Sky Dragon! How about you take charge of receiving future refugees for us?”
“Doesn’t that mean I have to go once every two hours?” the little girl hesitated.
“Not every two hours. Just drop by whenever you’re around and remember about it. In exchange, you don’t have to pay for the Panda Pet anymore.”
Sky Dragon pondered for a bit, then nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll do my part when I come by…Boss, I’m going hunting now!”
Sky Dragon was now hooked on hunting.
Since her arrival in the territory, she had led a group for hunting three times, capturing dozens of wild chickens, rabbits, pigs, and goats.
She thoroughly enjoyed this process, and most importantly, she could eat loads of roasted meat in the game without gaining weight! To someone whose physical diet was usually restricted in real life, this was simply heaven!
“Wait a minute.” Sucalled out to her.
“What is it?” Sky Dragon turned around.
“I need your help for something.” As Su Yu spoke, he sent her an “Enchantment Request”.
“Ding. Do you accept player ‘Nemesis’s’ enchantment request?”
“Accept.”
An enchantment panel popped up in front of Sky Dragon.
Enchantment formula: [SIXTH GRADE TEMPORARY EXPERIENCE SCROLL] + [Tina’s Blood] = [SIXTH GRADE GOLD COLORED TEMPORARY EXPERIENCE SCROLL] with 1.3% success rate.
“Sixth Grade Temporary Experience…” Seeing the name of the scroll, Sky Dragon was startled, “Boss, you have another scroll… Is it the same as the one last time?”
The name of this scroll was exactly the same as that one in Su Yu’s first video.
This was an amazing scroll! The boss made tens of millions from a single video using it, and that spoke volumes!
“Shh, don’t let this slip. It’s my trump card.” Su Yu made a ‘silence’ gesture.
“Okay, I won’t tell anyone.” Sky Dragon hesitantly agreed, while her hand hovered over the[Enchant]button.
The enchantment ceremony began.
Fresh red and gold-tinged blood dripped onto the scroll, resulting in the scroll’s surface emitting a misty golden glow.
But not long after, the golden glow on the surface of the scroll disappeared, signaling the failure of the first enchantment attempt.
Su Yu knew that the high probability meant it wouldn’t succeed in one try. He quickly took out the second [Blood of Tina] and placed it on the scroll, while Sky Dragon continued to click on the [Enchant] button.
Finally, after using fifteen [Blood of Tina], the golden glow on the surface of the scroll did not fade away. Instead, it burst forth into an even more dazzling golden light!
The enchantment of the scroll was successful!
Taking a bite of her roasted meat, Sky Dragon sighed in relief: “I’ve finally succeeded! A 1.3% success rate, success in 15 tries, I wouldn’t call that unlucky!”
But her curiosity was piqued: “Boss, what good does gold plating do? Is it just for show?”
Players obtained some gold-colored equipment during grinding, but the attributes of the gold equipment were no different from ordinary ones.
Therefore, in the players’ mind, gold color was just cooler to look at, and had no real benefits.
Su Yu knew the benefits of gold-colored equipment, but he had never purchased any. This was because even legendary-tier equipment could not provide a better attribute boost than level three ordinary equipment. There was no need to buy these gold-colored equipment, especially not when they could be acquired later at level three.
Hearing the little girl’s question, Su Yu smiled and said, “To be honest, gold-colored equipment can actually be brought into the real world.”
“Hmph! You’re trying to trick me!” Sky Dragon couldn’t help but give Su Yu a rolled-eye look.
Bringing equipment into reality? Did he think he was writing a novel? How could something so outrageous happen?
“Alright, no more fooling around. See you, boss!” With a squeeze of her thighs, Sky Dragon spurred on her mount: “Rush, Snowy, let’s go!”
“Awoo!”
The Howling Moon Wolf, Snowy, started running towards the north at full speed.
“Goodbye, Sky Dragon.”
Su Yu looked at the sixth-grade experience scroll with a golden border in his backpack, feeling especially content.
After bidding goodbye to Sky Dragon, Su Yu headed towards the newly constructed [Town Hall].
The [Town Hall] was a two-story building constructed with a mixture of stone and wood, with a stone wall on the first floor and the roof and second floor made entirely of wood.
However, it was only a level one town hall, which was generally very basic. Compared to the rural farmhouses in the real world, it fell short. One could only describe it as barely functioning.
Standing at the entrance of the Town Hall was old carpenter Brooke, admiring the building he had led the construction of.
Seeing Su Yu approaching, he quickly bowed: “Honorable lord, welcome.”
“Brooke, you did a good job.” Su Yu encouragingly patted his shoulder, “I’ve decided to raise your wage by ten percent. Keep up the good work!”
“Thank you, lord!” The old carpenter was extremely excited.
If it weren’t for the lord’s willingness to take them in, they might have starved to death. Now, not only did the lord provide them with good food and drinks, but he also gave them high wages. Where else could they possibly find such a generous lord?
“Ding! [Carpenter Brooke]’s loyalty increased to 100 points.”
Su Yu smiled. He took out a giant map, about the height of a person, from his bag and handed it to the old carpenter: “Find some people to help you hang this map on the wall of the town hall.”
“By your command, lord!” The old carpenter accepted the scroll and immediately got to work.
Su Yu stepped into the town hall.
The Town Hall was empty at the moment, with a wooden operation desk placed at the side of the hall. This operation desk was probably where they would conduct Territory Technology research.
Su Yu approached and opened the operation desk.
A virtual control panel emerged before his eyes.
