He only needed 500 tier 1 mutation crystals to level up. That was nothing compared to the tens of thousands of crystals he had previously needed.
Moreover, he obtained a crystal after killing just two spiders. It seemed like the drop rate was not low.
Should he level up first before making any plans?
Fang Heng opened his game character panel and observed.
After mastering the crystal conversion skill, he could convert tier 1 mutated crystals into normal evolution crystals, and even do the same for fusion crystals.
What was even more terrifying was that one mutation crystal could be converted into 2000 tier 2 evolution crystals!
Back in the low-tier game world, he had worked so hard to kill monsters just to earn tier 2 evolution crystals, but now he could easily get his hands on them…
The only restriction was that the evolution crystals after conversion could not be traded and could only be used for level-up.
However, on second thought, if he had chosen to enter the mid-tier game world in advance back then, he would not have been able to get many rewards, including the world of the vampires.
Well, ultimately he had not lost out.
Most players would choose to enter the intermediate games straight away to improve their strength as soon as possible, but making this choice meant that they would not be able to obtain the top resources in the elementary games.
Each choice had its advantages and disadvantages.
After all, there were only a dozen or so players who could really plunder top-tier resources in the elementary games.
If it wasn’t for his SSS-level talent, Fang Heng would also choose to join the intermediate game as soon as possible.
While Fang Heng was thinking, several giant-sized magic arrays appeared on the ground around him.
Fusion Tyrant forms emerged from the magic array.
Almost all of Fang Heng’s zombies had come for this region level-up trial.
In District 8, apart from leaving the two fusion Tyrant forms who had inherited the Vampire King’s remains behind, Fang Heng had brought all the others into the trial.
There was nothing he could do. After all, if the two fusion Tyrant forms committed suicide, the Vampire King’s remains could not be dealt with.
He could only leave them in District 8.
Fang Heng raised his head and saw that the densely packed zombies had occupied a large area around them.
“Let’s try and see if I can level up before tonight,” Fang Heng muttered to himself and began to concentrate on controlling the zombie clones.
The Lickers that had scouting and fighting abilities quickly entered the forest, scouting the surroundings and trying to find prey to kill.
Under Fang Heng’s control, a few fusion Tyrant Forms walked to several big trees nearby, raised their fists, and punched the trees.
“Thump! Thump!”
After a few punches, a big tree fell.
The zombie clones around immediately rushed up and began to chop the fallen trees with their sharp claws. Then, they scattered to pick up stones and slowly made stone axes with the stones and wood.
Game hints began to refresh crazily on Fang Heng’s retina.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has collected shrapnel *3 and firewood *1…]
[Hint: Your zombie clone has made a normal stone axe *1]
[Hint: …]
[Hint: Your zombie clone has completed a stone knife.]
Back in the elementary Zombie Apocalypse, Fang Heng had already leveled up his wilderness survival skills such as gathering, cutting, planting, manufacturing, and decomposing to the maximum level of 20. As such, his work efficiency was very high.
Ten minutes later, the zombie clones were already holding newly made stone knives, surrounding the shadow spider’s corpse, and beginning to take them apart.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has obtained stinky pieces of meat *5 from the shadow spider’s corpse through the skill Decomposition.]
[Hint: Your zombie clone has obtained damaged poison sacs from the shadow spider’s corpse through the skill Decomposition…]
Hmm? A poison sac?
Fang Heng looked at the game hint and had a thought.
He remembered that when he had been wandering around the village, he had seen a merchant buying poison sacs.
It seemed he could also earn some money while killing monsters.
Hmm, not bad, not bad.
…
Two hours later, Fang Heng placed the materials he had collected on the counter one by one.
The shop owner picked up the goods and examined them one by one, his eyes revealing a look of appreciation.
“Oh, these are indeed spider sacs and spider silk. The spider sacs are very fresh, and very well collected.”
Wantong Chamber of Commerce was one of the major Chambers of Commerce in the human Empire, and they had set up a fixed acquisition point in the village.
The shop owner confirmed the supplies and looked up at the mercenaries in front of him. He then handed over a bag full of silver coins, “The total value of your goods is 9 silver coins and 40 copper coins. This is our first time working with you. Thank you for your trust in the Wantong Chamber of Commerce. Here are 10 silver coins in total. Please keep them well. Next time you have materials to sell, please come to the Wantong Chamber of Commerce as well.”
Due to the time limit of the trial mission, Fang Heng was too lazy to compare the price offers. He simply asked Mo Jiawei to draw lots and select a shop among the merchants in the village to sell the materials.
“Thank you,” Fang Heng didn’t take the bag. Instead, he handed over a list of materials that he had prepared earlier and continued, “I need some supplies, including some carts and some basic ironware. Take a look and see if you sell them.”
“Okay, okay. Please wait a moment, dear respected customer.”
The shop owner carefully took the list and looked at it with a suspicious expression.
As the owner of a shop, he was experienced and knowledgeable. At first glance, he could tell that the items Fang Heng was selling were shadow spiders from the forest outside the town. The materials were very fresh and even had blood stains.
For a simple five-man mercenary team to be able to obtain so many spider threads and spider sacs, they must be extremely strong.
However, the materials that the other party needed were very strange.
Most of the ordinary mercenary groups in the village needed food, equipment, and other consumables for their supplies.
They, in contrast, were looking for special tools, ores, and dyes?
What were they trying to do? Were they in the renovation industry?
Mo Jiawei was a little anxious and urged, “How is it, boss? Do you have them? We’re in a hurry.”
“Yes, yes. Other than some ironware, we have most of the items on the list. I’ll get the staff to prepare them. Please wait a moment, it’ll be quick,” As the shop owner spoke, he called his men over and gave them a few instructions before asking them to prepare the materials immediately.
“Are you going to the forest outside the village?” The shop owner asked curiously while the staff were busy.
“Yes, to stock up,” Mo Jiawei grinned and continued, “Boss, I see that you’re quite honest. To tell you the truth, we have a large batch of goods coming over later. Can your shop handle it?”
The boss didn’t quite understand what “stock up” meant, but with a professional smile on his face, he replied, “As long as the quality of the goods is good, the Wantong Chamber of Commerce will definitely be willing to buy. If it’s in bulk, we are even willing to buy at a price higher than the market price.”
Mo Jiawei nodded his head in satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad. This way, the business will last.”
