Why did he not hesitate? It was because this skill was very cheap. Based on the current drop rate, it was not difficult for Nangong Xiao to save up a silver coin. He just needed to kill more poultry.
More importantly, Nangong Xiao learned from Little Seven that the ingredients and finished products could be sold to the system. In other words, cooking skills could bring economic benefits in a sense.
After clicking on the purchase button, the cooking skill scroll was placed in Nangong Xiao's Backpack. After clicking on it, Nangong Xiao suddenly felt a lot of information in his head. It was all information related to cooking, cooking methods of various cuisines, processing methods of various ingredients, heat control, knife skills, and so on. All the information about cooking surged into Nangong Xiao's head crazily. Other than the information on cooking, there was also information on how to use skills.
Fortunately, the feeling of being inflated did not last long. Soon, the system popped up a small interface to remind him that he had learned Level: 1 Cooking Skill.
Opening his attribute interface, Nangong Xiao immediately saw that there was an additional 'Cooking Skill Level: 1 'and clicked on the' Cooking Skill Level: 1 ', he immediately opened the skill attributes.
[Cooking Skill Level: 1]
[Effect 1: Cooking (75% success rate, 10MP consumed)]
[Effect 2: Harvest (Obtain fresh ingredients from animal carcasses, 70% success rate, costs 2MP)]
After clicking on the first effect, two screens popped up. One was the production interface, which was a bit like the synthesis interface in online games. The other was his system inventory interface.
According to the additional information in his mind, Nangong Xiao knew that as long as he dragged the ingredients in his backpack into the production interface, then…
"Your sister! He still had to buy recipes? Aren't those recipes all stored in my head?!”Nangong Xiao couldn't remain calm anymore.
"If you use the system to cook, you must have the corresponding recipes and ingredients. Although it's a bit of a scam, only the food made by the system can add recovery abilities or beneficial buffs. Of course, you can also personally cook in the outside world according to the memory data given by the system. In that case, the food you make will be very delicious at most, but there will be no additional effects.”
Looking at the more than ten recipes listed on the scroll trading interface with Little Seven's help, Nangong Xiao was once again unsettled." Alright, alright, I understand. This damn system is always thinking about money! Right? That must be the case! X's whole roasted chicken recipe cost 10 copper coins? Even if it was a finished product, it would only recover 50 HP in 30 minutes!!”
"Ah Xiao, the system is particular about equivalent exchange. If you want good things, of course you have to pay the price.”
"There is no free lunch in this world! I understand this logic!" Nangong Xiao shook his head weakly and began to use the Food Collection skill in the Cooking skill. He touched the chicken carcasses and silently used the Collection skill. After deducting two MP, the chicken carcasses disappeared.
However, Nangong Xiao received a notification that the collection had failed.
Unfortunately, a 70% success rate was not considered low, but it actually failed on the first try…
However, Nangong Xiao heard Little Seven's explanation. The success rate of the ability to gather ingredients was related to the level of the cooking skill. The higher the level of the cooking skill, the higher the success rate of the gathering skill. Although the gathering failed, the corpse also disappeared. At least he did not abandon his original intention.
Then, Nangong Xiao quickly collected the remaining chicken carcasses. In the end, he only obtained three servings of chicken meat. It seemed that the 70% value was a little too high, or perhaps it was because his character was not good.
As for leveling up skills, it was actually very easy. Every time he leveled up, there would be a blank skill point for the qualified person to add points to. Little Seven had also said that other than that, he could only rely on the mission rewards. However, this depended on luck. If the system released a mission that rewarded blank skill points, he must not miss it.
From the looks of it, skill points were the most important, just like Diablo and Warcraft.
Seeing that there was nothing on the ground except chicken blood and chicken feathers, Nangong Xiao was also very satisfied with this gathering skill. At the same time, he saw that there was still quite a lot of money in his wallet. He planned to continue buying poultry and other things. He planned to level up first.
Following that, Nangong Xiao endured the strange gazes of the many bosses in the live poultry market and bought 35 chickens in three batches. After killing all of them, in addition to 70 experience points, he also obtained a total of 15 chicken meat, four eggs, and 21 copper coins.
Of course, after the experience bar was full, Nangong Xiao leveled up.
After being wrapped in a warm golden light, Nangong Xiao felt as comfortable as bathing in a hot spring. However, this comfortable feeling disappeared in an instant. It was similar to leveling up in online games. There were always some strange phenomena.
There was another good thing about leveling up, and that was that all his statuses would automatically return to their peak. Just like how he had used up more than half of his MP when he used the Gathering ability, he had also completely recovered.
After taking a look at his personal attribute interface, he realized that his strength, agility, and knowledge had all increased by one point each, just as Little Seven had said. His HP and MP had increased by ten points each, and his defense, which was related to agility, had also increased by one point. Of course, his attack value was the same. Nangong Xiao also felt that he was slowly getting stronger. He even found that his weak and thin body was a little plump. At least, he did not look so weak now.
However, when Nangong Xiao saw the experience points from Level 1 to Level 2, he was a little speechless. It had actually increased by five times, which was 0/500!
"If I want to level up again, won't I have to kill 250 chickens?”Nangong Xiao felt that his wallet was under a lot of pressure. An adult chicken sold for about 80 yuan. The 50 chickens had cost him more than 4,000 yuan, and now he only had less than 2,000 yuan left in his wallet.
Ex-boyfriend, that's too unimpressive. Why didn't he leave behind 100,000 yuan in savings?
Just as Nangong Xiao was having a headache, Little Seven said," Ah Xiao, you're thinking too much. If you want to level up, you have to kill 500 chickens."”
"Hmm?" Nangong Xiao was stunned for a moment before he understood the key point. He said," The higher the level, the experience points of the same monster will be halved?”
"That's it. To be more specific, monsters of the same level will give you 100% experience points and drop rates. If you are one level higher, it will be reduced by 50%. If you are two levels higher, it will be reduced by another 50%. Then, there will be no experience points and the drop rate will be reduced to 1% or even lower.
In fact, the level of the chicken was lower than level 0, but the system set the lowest level to be level 0, so the chicken had experience points for you.”
"I see." Nangong Xiao was not disappointed. After all, this was the setting of an ordinary RPG. It was just that the level penalty here was higher.
"Right, if you want to see the enemy's level, you have to buy a skill called 'Eye of True'. This skill is very cheap, only 30 copper coins. The level one ability is to see the level and name of others.”
"Oh? "There's such a skill…Let me see…" After hearing this, Nangong Xiao opened the skill interface of the system store and quickly found the location of the skill, the Eye of Truth.
Scroll of the Eye of Truth
No Quality
[Effect: Level learned after use: 1. Eye of Truth skill.
[Price: 30 copper coins]
[Remark: Beginner investigation method, very practical skill. Before a battle, you can at least judge whether to run or fight based on your level.]
After taking a look, Nangong Xiao put away his paratrooper knife, tidied up his clothes, and left the alley.
Of course, he did not go to the live bird market again. Instead, he planned to go home. After all, he did not have much money. He had to think of a way to make money.
Along the way, Nangong Xiao lowered his head and pondered how to get money. In fact, he had many ways to get money, but most of them would take a long time or go against his principles. However, he only had less than ten days left before the mission began.
Although he still did not know what the so-called mission was about, from the various settings of the system, it was meant for combat in some sense. Therefore, in his opinion, the system mission must be related to combat, which was accompanied by various dangers. Therefore, he had to take advantage of the ten days of rest to increase his strength as much as possible.
Although the chickens did not give him much experience points, there were still other animals. There were many animals that were stronger than the chickens. As long as he had money, he could buy them in large quantities and slaughter them.
Of course, he could also sneak into the farm without any scruples and cause trouble.
Unfortunately, he was from that kind of place after all. He could have no worries overseas, but this was his country. He did not learn the ability to harm the interests of the people of his country from his instructor. Even though this was a parallel dimension, he still couldn't ignore the bottom line in his heart.
Just as Nangong Xiao was having a headache, Little Seven spoke again," Xiao, are you short of money? Hehe…Do you want Little Seven to help you think of a way?”
" Help…" Hearing Little Seven's tone, he knew that Little Seven definitely had a way. However, Nangong Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately opened the miscellaneous interface of the system store.
"Oh, Xiao, you finally reacted? As expected of the person I chose. My judgment is not bad.”Seeing Nangong Xiao's reaction, Little Seven began to boast with satisfaction.
Nangong Xiao only smiled at this. He also understood the character of this support sprite. Other than being very ostentatious, it was also very easy to get along with.
Soon, Nangong Xiao found the precious metal raw materials he wanted on the miscellaneous interface.
High Purity Gold
white quality
[Price: 5 copper coins per unit (kg)]
[Remark: A raw material metal with little value.]
One kilogram was equivalent to a thousand grams. The current price of gold was about 250 to 300 dollars per gram, which meant that five copper coins could be exchanged for about 300,000 dollars?
Of course, if the black market's discount was deducted, it could be exchanged for about 200,000 to 250,000 copper coins at most. It was very easy to get five copper coins. The previous 50 chickens had contributed more than 20 copper coins to Nangong Xiao. Therefore, this kind of reselling was absolutely worthwhile!
" It's really cheap..." Nangong Xiao was a little puzzled when he saw the price.
Little Seven explained," As you can see, this thing is very cheap. This was because the system store essentially existed to increase the combat power of the qualified people. In other words, as long as it did not increase the combat power of the qualified people, it would be very cheap. For example, some luxury goods that looked very expensive in the real world were actually as cheap as a bullet in the system store.”
"I see…"
