Wang Xing didn't expect the tax officer to be so bold. Knowing that he had killed a powerful witch, he was willing to send troops and manpower after just one sentence.
However, we need to actually check what the actual situation will be at that time.
But for now, it is true that Wang Xing got the benefits in his hands.
[Synthetic Stone: It can be synthesized into second-level and lower level equipment and materials to make a suit. The more materials and the better quality you add, the more powerful the final effect will be. The upper limit that can be synthesized is second order. 】
Seeing the synthetic stone, Wang Xing thought of the forged stone he had obtained before.
After answering the questions from the God of Destruction Core, he has determined that these things are simple to use and have powerful effects.
"I happened to have obtained the materials before. Get some steel and fur and give it a try."
Wang Xing did not rush to do anything immediately, but put away the materials and props, and then slept soundly all night. As for the tax official who came over, he had been hiding in the house and not acting rudely. The other person was really not just showing off, but was attacked on the road and needed to rest.
But what happened with him made the tax officer just wait here for the grain to arrive. After inspecting and sealing the cart filled with grain, one of the two carriages brought over, plus the carriage in the village, were all filled with grain. and resources, were taken to a safer town by the experts around Hu Jie, some militiamen, and strong people in the village.
Early the next morning, after the tax collector had a good meal, he and Hu Jie and several other cavalrymen went into battle lightly. A carriage behind them took several other elite and small infantrymen and continued to rush to the next place. .
Wang Xing watched these people leave, while the village chief and others were even more in awe of Wang Xing.
This was all thanks to the tax official, a person with status, who spoke up. Although Wang Xing killed the witch, the villagers not only did not feel that the witch was coming back to take revenge, but they were even more motivated because Wang Xing would be here waiting for the army to come and protect them.
Now that Wang Xing had obtained his identity, he didn't waste it. Before going around, he started assigning tasks to these people.
After the surrounding forest trees were cut down, part of the wood was used to strengthen the stone walls around the village, and part of it was made into defensive equipment such as horses.
Although Wang Xing is not afraid of witches and demons, ordinary people can survive in front of weak demons for a while, and then when he kills witches and other dangers, everyone will have a greater chance of surviving in the end.
After simply arranging these things for ordinary people to work hard and use fatigue to relieve their uneasiness, Wang Xing began to wander around the village.
The equipment on his body is all at the level of the first level. It is not clear what Wangxing is missing before he can reach the second level. In order to avoid wasting this strange synthetic stone as much as possible, he needed to collect various materials.
So Wang Xing caught the beasts around and started attacking.
After killing the wild boars, more than twenty essences were given after death. After killing three of them, I was lucky. In addition to the meat from the wild boars, I also got the wild boar skins that could be regarded as materials.
According to the core of the God of Destruction, materials collected in reality and materials dropped are two different things.
After the death of a powerful monster, its body will quickly melt and dissolve. After the death of weaker humans and beasts, their flesh and blood will disappear at different speeds, depending on their intelligence or the strength of their souls.
The wild boar that Wang Xing killed was huge but had a weak soul, so the meat could be cut off after death and made into materials such as dried meat. It would not be naturally stored in the world for more than ten days before slowly disappearing from the world.
This kind of beast that gives a lot of essence can only be regarded as average in terms of materials.
Then, the essence given by other kills may not be as much as that of ferocious beasts such as wild boars, but it will dissipate as if the body will melt quickly after a few hours after death.
Wang Xing killed several of them and cut as much material as possible with the demon dagger he had obtained before. These materials include bones, teeth and fur, a few tough tendons, and things like extremely fast, palm-sized, flexible fascia.
Apart from that, the most valuable thing is a group of similar monsters with big bellies, short limbs, but huge body impact similar to those controlled by the witch before.
The essence given after killing these monsters is not as much as that controlled by the witch, but the corpses dissipate quickly.
Fortunately, these things left the village with Wang Xing, and after wandering around for a long time, they encountered many of them.
After more than five days of exploration, Wang Xing returned to the village with some ore from time to time, asking the blacksmiths to refine it for him, and completely stopped making materials.
According to the mercenaries who rode nearby in advance, Hu Jie had already escorted the tax collector to the final destination. According to the news there, troops would arrive nearby within half a month and wait for Wang Xing's dispatch.
Wang Xing collected a wave of materials and was not ready to waste time around.
I roughly know the terrain and the distribution of monsters and beasts, so there is no need to really get so many materials. According to the core of the God of Destruction, more precious materials are much more effective than first-level materials.
And since he couldn't find the witch, the few materials he had previously obtained from the demons under the witch were naturally the most precious. There is no need to collect more poor quality waste of time.
After eating and drinking in the evening, Wang Xing finished soaking in warm water and put the equipment he had cleaned while taking a shower in his room.
Take out the materials from your own space one by one, place them on the floor of the huge bedroom, and arrange them one by one.
The first is the equipment that has been strengthened by the blacksmith and has the best attributes. In addition to the armor he was wearing, Wang Xing also placed his long sword on it after receiving the approval from the God of Destruction Core.
After thinking about it, Wang Xing took out the ring and the demon dagger. After being strengthened by the forging stone, the effects of the two new pieces of equipment were greatly improved.
The first is the ring demon leader. His enhanced willpower has doubled to ten points, and his mental power has reached forty points, an increase of fifteen points. And the number of shadow demons that can be summoned has been increased to five.
Then there is the demon dagger, the hardness has been increased from two points to five points, and the sharpness has been increased from two points to three points. The physical body did not increase much, from nine to twelve. The speed went from two to three.
The attributes of the two pieces of equipment are already good. According to Wang Xing's estimation from the God of Destruction Core, they are both above the first level. However, there are many other things like forging stones. Low-level stones can actually strengthen high-level equipment, but they will consume more.
If the level crossed is too high, the effect will be lost.
After the final wave of strengthening, Wang Xing decisively put all the equipment together, surrounded the materials, took out the synthetic stone, and pointed it at the pile of things below.
"Synthetic suit!"
Suddenly, the synthetic stone in Wang Xing's hand shattered suddenly, and a large ball of green light rushed out.
