Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Chapter 24 Harvest
After summing up his experiences and lessons and deepening his self-understanding, Lu Meng also began to inspect his trophies.

"Sure enough, this part is more enjoyable."

The three members of the Xing family did not carry much Kai coins with them, which was about [-] loose money for daily maintenance of personal expenses.

Of course, this is from Lu Meng's current point of view, four to five hundred is not much.Being able to carry so many Kai coins as pocket money also shows that the three Xing family members belong to the upper-middle class among the residents of the hub station.

Although the three members of the Xing family have not been engaged in production for so many years, they have accumulated a lot of wealth through various means.

Lu Meng will not be able to get these until later.

The most valuable trophy currently obtained is this [Ten Hands].

[One-handed Ten-Hand: The one-handed version of the Ten-Hand is designed for non-fatal knockdowns. It can provide the user with a certain degree of protection and has advantages indoors.

Grade: old modified knife (white)

Value: 1800 Kai coins]

The grade of this Juju is the same grade as my own ring-headed straight-edged sword (white), but it is heavier and made of obviously more materials.

However, the difficulty of making swords and ten-hand swords is obviously not equal, which also leads to the fact that Lu Meng's long sword is worth 500 more coins even though it uses less materials of the same grade.

Lu Meng waved it casually a few times, but it didn't feel heavy or stagnant at all.

However it doesn't suit me.

After all, Jushou belongs to the [Blunt Weapon] genre, and the genre he plans to follow is [Machete].

But this ten-handed weapon can be given to Huo Buyang for use. As a scavenger, he has been using iron rods that are also [blunt weapons], which can be upgraded smoothly.

However, if Xiao Huo wants to use it with ease, he still needs to grow some muscles.

Lu Meng put away his ten hands first.

Thinking about it, before I became a warrior, using a "white" level machete was considered a dimensionality reduction strike. However, after becoming a warrior, the enemies who were truly threatening used weapons of this level. My original ring-headed straight-edged sword was No advantage can be formed.

It's also time to change to a better weapon.

It is not easy to simply buy weapons from the black market. You must know that the hub does not have the ability to mass-produce weapons and equipment, and a small number of weapon craftsmen are also controlled by the market to arm their private troops.

If ordinary people want to defend themselves, they have to scavenge in the ruins and try their luck.

Most of the metal weapons in the ruins have been rusted.

Occasionally, a white-quality weapon leaks out on the market, and the price is one to two times higher than its actual "value".

Prices are affected by supply and demand and fluctuate around value.

What's more, there are very few people who need to use white quality equipment in the hub itself. They have their own way of customizing it.

For example, Lu Meng needs a higher-grade (third-level), blue-quality machete, which is estimated to cost nearly [-] Kai coins.

It's not cost-effective to buy directly.

In addition to these "vulgar" material wealth, Lu Meng's attributes have also been improved.

[Name: Lu Beiyou (Lu Meng)

Race: Human (Scorched Earth Sons)

Actual combat level: 20→24 (Warrior)
Melee skills: Machete 4→5 (entry)
Life skills: Stealth 14→18 (basic)...]

The proficiency obtained by killing Xing Xuemu increased Lu Meng's actual combat level by one level, while killing the second son of the Xing family increased Lu Meng's actual combat level by three levels.

The proficiency contributed by the third brother failed to continue to upgrade his actual combat skills.

In addition to explaining the strength gap between the three, this also has an impact on the order in which the damage is caused.

When Xing Xuemu and Xing Xuemu were executed, his actual combat level had been raised by 3 levels, and it would be more difficult to upgrade further.

Compared with those who have limited talents and stagnate after just crossing the threshold of warriors, Lu Meng's 24 points of actual combat ability are not as good as those of long-standing warriors, but they have already reached a new level and belong to the category of warriors. The promising kind.

When you really face off against a novice warrior, you can still have a certain advantage.

Of course, battles are not about comparing numerical values. Otherwise, everyone would be given an attribute panel, and when the data was displayed during the fight, the lower player would commit suicide.

The [Machete] skill has also been upgraded to one level this time, but it can only be regarded as the result of Lu Meng's accumulation without deliberate practice and the result that comes naturally.

After all, so far, Lu Meng's fighting style actually has little to do with a specific weapon.For him, the function of "knife" seems to be that it is more convenient to behead.

This will not work.

The upgrade of the [Stealth] skill is the biggest gain from this operation.

Stealth, as the name suggests, is the ability to act undetected.

The effect is better in a sheltered and dark environment, and the farther away it is, the less likely it is to be discovered.

After the stealth level is high, all enemies can basically turn into "little deaf and blind". Lu Meng can move under their noses without being discovered, as if he has escaped into another dimension.

Lu Meng is not yet at this level, but level 18 is already close to the (proficiency) threshold, which means that it is no longer possible to do stupid things such as "accidentally stepping on a dead branch and exposing yourself" while sneaking.

If you take a bunker in the dark night, it will be difficult for even a warrior to find you unless you are willing to observe.

To ordinary people, after Lu Meng enters the stealth state, his actions become like a ghost.

From this point of view, level 18 stealth is enough for the time being.

Because of the "Foundation of Life" mission, he should try his best not to deliberately improve his stealth skills to prevent it from breaking through the level 20 threshold and wasting an opportunity for rewards.

There were two gray-grade weapons left, and Lu Meng simply put them away, preparing to take them to the black market and exchange them for coins tomorrow.

As for whether he will be recognized?

That's fine.

……

The depths of the ruins are different from the edge of the desert, and there is much less wind and sand in the air.

Instead, there were various collapsed buildings and rubble everywhere.

Even the most seasoned scavengers avoid venturing into this maze of ruins.

And Lu Meng turned a few hidden corners, passed through a few incredible holes, and suddenly saw a bright light in front of him.

A hut whose walls have been peeled away by time stands firmly in front of you. Judging from the exquisite building materials and the open space in front of the house that should have been a garden, it seems that this was a rich man's residence before the decline of the hub station.

Now it has been transformed into a temporary residence by Lu Meng and the others.

I saw Huo Buyang doing push-ups in front of the house, with stone bags tied around his legs and waist.The young man was already at the age when his body was growing, and with nutritional supplements, he had already grown a little taller in the past few months.

Seeing Lu Meng's return, Huo Buyang stood up quickly and said with joy: "Brother Lu, you came back later than before today."

Because of Lu Meng's instructions, he did not leave the place where he lived. He could only increase the amount of training and use the fatigue of his body to relieve his worries.

Lu Meng just wanted to show off his trophies, but Huo Buyang went back to the house first and took out a pile of clothes, which he couldn't wait to unfold:

"Put it on and see!"

This is a gray-yellow robe. The tailoring and workmanship are quite ingenious. More importantly, the surface of the robe gives people a sense of toughness at first glance.

It's made of camel skin.

Lu Meng took off the fur coat that he had pieced together before and put on this robe, which immediately made his figure longer, taller and fit perfectly.

Looking at his body, he felt as if he had truly become a familiar civilized person.

"My mother took me to cut it together."

Seeing that Brother Lu was very satisfied, Huo Buyang was also a little proud and introduced him to the details and functions of the robe in detail.

Lu Meng's heart moved slightly.

Although this robe was originally entrusted to Li Liu and the others to make, he did not expect to get the finished product in less than three days.

From processing camel skin to designing and cutting ready-made garments, Li Liu and Huo Buyang must have been working day and night.This robe has almost no shortcomings except that the seams are a little rough due to conditions. The tough camel leather has been treated to have better protective effects, and it has not been diminished at all due to the rush of work.

He didn't say much at this moment. He took out ten hands and threw them to Huo Buyang.

"A present for you."

The tone is relaxed.
