The team moved towards Chaikan little by little.
They walked for more than three hours for a short distance of ten miles, and the sun had already set in the west.
In the afterglow of the sunset, hundreds of pack horses entered the city one after another, logs were piled in the open space at the entrance of the blacksmith shop, and tree branches were transported to the tent where the wolf pups lived.
Although Chaikan's urban buildings are quite dilapidated, it also has advantages, that is, the urban space is large and there are open spaces of various sizes everywhere.
After several days of blacksmithing, Zhang Qi would take care of the small nursery he opened behind the tavern whenever he had free time. The nursery was not big, less than thirty square meters in total, and it was divided into several pieces by wooden strips. Used to grow crops he found in various town markets.
Pumpkin, garlic, peppers, carrots, cabbage.
Zhang Qi is most concerned about pumpkins. He knows what he wants to do in the outside world. Pumpkins are a rare treasure that can be used as both vegetables and food.
In Epicrothea, Zhang Qi also planted crops, but his planting time was short. As soon as the pumpkins sprouted, he chose to migrate.
So this time, he was sure that he would stay in the grassland for a long time, so he planted it as soon as he arrived.
He has no experience in farm work and can only rely on time to accumulate it bit by bit. Fortunately, the time spent riding and slashing in the world is twenty-four times longer than the outside world, which is enough for him to make countless trials and errors.
The wood was transported to various places. Zhang Qi watered the various crops in the nursery that had not yet sprouted and then went to the blacksmith shop.
Sojal did not go out today. He has been blacksmithing in the arena. There are already a lot of wrought iron and iron ingots piled up in the blacksmith shop. In a month, they have acquired at least four hundred broad-leaf flying knives that can be smelted. Produce 800 units of wrought iron and 1,200 units of iron ingots.
This is the unscientific nature of the game world. How can it break down so many things with just a flying knife?
However, Zhang Qi likes this kind of unscientific. Those that are harmful to him are called bugs, while those that are beneficial to him are important game features and cannot be confused.
In addition to these, the iron ore purchased along the way has been refined and smelted with a blacksmith's hammer. Now, he has a full 2,000 units of wrought iron and more than 1,500 units of iron ingots.
All these materials are forged into new two-handed swords, and five hundred can be made!
According to the purchase price of 2,800, Zhang Qi indirectly already owned 1.4 million dinars. With the balance, Zhang Qi could use almost 2 million.
Enough, these dinars are enough to take his small war group out of the world of riding and cutting.
Equipment, people, horses, whatever!
Now in the outside world, they have reached half of the Luqu River, and there is still some distance before they will enter the sphere of influence of the Xiongnu Zuo Tuqi.
The addition of manpower will not only give Zhang Qi a sense of security, but most importantly, with power in his hands, he will be qualified to communicate with the powerful.
When he thought of this, Zhang Qi's eyes lit up with flames.
The master blacksmith is online again and starts building equipment.
Jingle bell, jingle bell.
The blacksmith's hammer hammered rhythmically, and colorful ribbons slowly appeared on the fence of the arena.
The NPC soldiers who were sent to the arena by Zhang Qi were uniformly teleported out of the arena. Without instructions, these NPC soldiers crowded in the stands in a daze, and the same was true for Sojal.
However, after he was teleported out, he communicated with the person in charge of the arena and wanted to enter again, but when he was not allowed to enter again, he scratched his head and chose to return to the blacksmith shop.
Zhang Qi dropped a hammer, and Suo Jiaer opened the door and came in.
Looking at him, Zhang Qi put down the hammer in his hand: "Are you full?"
"Then you go ahead and build it. Be more ambitious and come up with more blueprints."
Handing the hammer to Suo Jiaer, Zhang Qi walked to the other side and began to refine the charcoal. He did not have blacksmith skills, so Zhang Qi would naturally let those who had it make it. Although limited by the physical limit, Suo Jiaer could make up to eight charcoal at a time. But as long as there is an 'excellent' equipment entry, then a new two-handed sword worth 2800 can be sold for 4000.
Sojal did not speak, or in other words, his logic did not have the option to record such a reply. After taking the hammer, Sojal began to build equipment.
After a few clicks, Zhang Qi's side had not yet entered the rhythm, and Suo Jiaer's side immediately stopped.
"So fast?"
Zhang Qi glanced at Suo Jiaer in surprise. The latter stood silently beside the forging table.
"You haven't regained your full strength? Then why are you back?"
Zhang Qi was puzzled. Was there another change that he didn't know about?
Zhang Qi put down what he was doing and walked out of the blacksmith shop.
It wasn't until he reached the arena that Zhang Qi knew what was going on.
"Real Sword Competition! No wonder Sogyal went back to blacksmithing. It turns out he was kicked out."
In the world of riding and slashing, without players joining, NPC wanderers can only enter it on the last day of the real sword competition.
Obviously, Zhang Qicai is a player.
The last time he played in Batania, he earned more than 10,000 dinars. Zhang Qi saw that Chaikan had also started to be held, and he was still a little excited. There were more horses in the grassland, whether it was Asaliger. Horses, even prairie thoroughbreds, are all good horses priced at 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
Just when Zhang Qi was about to go in and sign up, he suddenly thought of something and turned around and left.
I still remember that in the game, every time you encounter a city with a real sword competition, there will be a wanderer NPC in the city tavern, which means...
Zhang Qi's eyes lit up.
He no longer cares about horses or not, it's just a matter of a few two-handed swords. He now finds that the biggest prize in the Arena Real Sword Competition is not the reward after winning the championship, but the wanderer NPC!
Returning to the tavern, Zhang Qi called out to Hu Ling in the camp tent: "Don't take the kids to the arena in the next few days. Also, if you find someone coming to the tavern, come to the blacksmith shop and notify me."
Hu Ling nodded in confusion: "I understand, Mr. Wolf."
"Well, go get busy."
After giving orders to Hu Ling, Zhang Qi entered the tavern. There was no one in the tavern except the owner. The real sword competition had just been held, and it would take some time for the wanderers to get here.
After ordering a glass of wine, Zhang Qi sat at the bar and opened the cloth in his arms.
Recently, he has also been studying, studying the Chinese characters that Lu Mu copied. In the outside world, Zhang Qi has asked Lu Mu to guide him about the meaning of the characters on the cloth. Based on the meaning of the characters, he roughly knows the meaning of these Chinese characters in the official books. Mandarin pronunciation.
The pinyin has been marked, and all that's left is to memorize it slowly.
Zhang Qi is no stranger to this. After all, he has received nine years of compulsory education.
