Chapter 355 Homestead Quest: The Golden Fisherman (33)

Qin Ziwen took out the function card and used it directly, as usual.

[Activation Feature: Level 4 Guild]

[Privileges elevated, current privileges: Level 4 (11/16)]

[Tier 3 Guild: You can choose to form an alliance with the Lord of the Homestead. The current maximum number of alliances is 40. After forming an alliance, the following functions will be unlocked: Goodwill Alliance, Shared Buildings (2), Alliance Merchant Guild, Auction]

A new auction feature has been added.

After reviewing the documents, Qin Ziwen determined the purpose of the auction: the alliance leader and members could list their goods for trading.

This feature seems to conflict with the Alliance Chamber of Commerce.

But in fact, the auction has two unique functions.

I. Auction Tickets: Each auction generates corresponding tickets. The number of tickets is related to the quality of the auction; the higher the quality, the more tickets can be generated. Tickets can be given to non-guild homeowners to grant them entry to the auction.

Furthermore, everyone's identity is hidden during the auction; apart from the guild leader, no one knows the true identity of the buyers.

Second, consignment auctions: Non-guild members can consign resources to auctions, but they need to have a ticket and pay a certain amount of commission.

If the Alliance Chamber of Commerce is a way for guilds to exchange resources internally, then the auction is a new function for acquiring resources externally and expanding the guild's influence.

However, it's not very useful for now.

After the function card was used, the high-expansion card followed.

He previously obtained a height expansion card (medium), which can expand the space height by 10 meters.

This height expansion card (large) can expand the space height by a full 50 meters.

Qin Ziwen took out the card, crushed it, and used it.

The sky above the entire neighborhood was shrouded in a layer of white light.

Then it grows step by step, expanding layer by layer.

As the light faded, the sky above the entire residential area seemed to have been lifted significantly upwards.

He estimated that, if he wasn't mistaken, the height of the interior space of his home should now be 65 meters.

In a modern city, it would be equivalent to the height of a 20-story building.

This height is sufficient to meet the needs of most building sites.

With the (giant) blank expansion card already released, expectations for this one are only so-so.

However, 10,000 square meters is not bad either; I have never complained about the size of my home.

Crush and use to expand the newly added space into another blank area, located on the side of the Yanwu Military Equipment Bureau.

After using the expansion card, his gaze fell on the [Quest Card] Home Quest Generation Card, which was the second time he had obtained this card.

The task card is bronze in color with an amber border around the edge, and a black question mark on the front.

[Task Card] Homestead Task Generation Card (After activation, a random task will be generated based on the current homestead status. Rewards will be given upon completion.)
After thinking about it, I realized I had two cards. I decided to use one to test the waters and see how difficult the homestead mission was.

The card was crushed, and the bronze-colored card melted away as light spots.

A small ball of light popped out of the home.

[Task being generated.]

[Homestead Mission (Golden Fisherman): Please catch a total of over 100 tons of seafood within the next time period.]

[Quest Reward: Level 4 Rare Item (Golden Merman Statue)]

After reading the task, my brow relaxed; this task wasn't difficult.

It's a cumulative task; aside from being time-consuming, it's not particularly difficult.

With some effort, it's still possible to complete the task of 100 tons of seafood.

However, Qin Ziwen still assigned the task to Jia Liangcai.

In the remaining time, hunt more at home and try to complete the mission before the end of the map.

This is a level 4 rare item; missing it would be a waste.

He then went to the bamboo forest. The bamboo forest, located in the south of his home, was sparse, with only some small young bamboo shoots remaining.

Bamboo groves were felled in large swaths.

Right next to it is the Dew Fruit Grove, where all the fruit has been picked and a new batch of fruit is just beginning to sprout.

In addition to this haul, there were also the ordinary resource duplication cards I had accumulated previously.

There are eight in total.

Qin Ziwen first copied, then synthesized, and then upgraded.

The bamboo forest has finally been upgraded to level 4.

[Level 4 Nan bamboo forest: Level 3 bamboo hardness, Level 2 bamboo toughness, Level 1 bamboo weight reduction]

Resource upgrade card, use.

The bamboo forest in front of us was instantly enveloped in light.

When the light faded, the bamboo grove, which had been sparse and only had young shoots left, became dense and tall again.

Each bamboo stalk, as thick as a large bowl and covered with tiny pale gold stars, stands straight and tall in dark green.

Each one is over thirty meters tall.

[Advanced Resource - Level 3 Starlight Bamboo Forest: Level 4 Hard Bamboo Stem, Level 4 Impervious to Water and Fire, Level 3 Super Toughness] (Characteristic: Spiritual Affinity: Starlight Bamboo has a super affinity for extraordinary powers)
"Immune to water and fire, extremely resilient." Qin Ziwen looked at the patch of starlight bamboo in front of him.

"Xiao Wu, have someone cut down a few bamboo stalks later and see how hard this bamboo is. Also, Li Yue and his team are trying to improve the crossbow, so let them try this new material."

"Great!" Qin Ziwu exclaimed excitedly.

Just as Qin Ziwen's business was beginning to develop...

Meanwhile, Xie Ya received a report from her subordinates.

"What? The node channel has never been opened?"

Her expression kept changing as she considered many possibilities, but she never expected that the other party would simply disappear without her after completing a transaction with her.

What's so special about that?

Is it free?

Xie Ya lowered her head and chuckled, "Looks like he just wants to make a deal and leave. Oh well, this kid doesn't know what opportunity he missed, so he can't be blamed for it."

"You finished the new model so quickly?"

Qin Ziwen stood in the open space of the Yanwu Armory, with a menacing modified heavy crossbow in front of him.

The ballista was fitted with specially made wide tires on its base, and a dozen craftsmen and apprentices were gathered around it. Li Yue and several core craftsmen were adjusting the ballista.

Li Yue patted the vehicle frame, his voice filled with obvious excitement: "Brother Qin, this is the first test vehicle improved with the new materials. The strength of the crossbow arm and the weight distribution of the arrow alone are much stronger than the old model. Our preliminary calculations show that the penetration power and destructive range are at least twice as good as before."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ziwen took a few steps closer, his gaze sweeping over several key load-bearing parts of the crossbow.

Especially at the junction of the bow arm and the base, there are faint golden specks scattered among the wood grain.

This reminded him of the new advanced resource point he had recently acquired: Starlight Bamboo.

“Let’s go,” he said, turning his gaze away, “set up the target and test fire.”

With a wave of his hand, Li Yue instructed several craftsmen to quickly use a cart to place a solid granite piece two hundred paces away and set it up securely.

Everyone retreated to the back of the ballista.

With Li Yue's command.

"Oh!"

A deep, muffled thud shook the air as the crossbow bolt shot out as a blurry black shadow.

Two hundred paces away, a loud bang, like metal clashing against stone, rang out.

In the distance, the tip of the crossbow bolt was deeply embedded in the granite. Under the powerful impact, the bolt split into four pieces and trembled incessantly.

Li Yue said, "Right now we are limited by the material of the arrow shaft. Ordinary materials cannot withstand such a strong impact. If a sufficiently hard material were used for the arrow shaft, the lethality should be able to be increased even further."
