The Survival Rules of NPCs

Chapter 127 Epic Armor!

Michelle has always been an admirer of the elven civilization system, and has always believed that the elven civilization was the most perfect and the most suitable system for biological evolution.

Otherwise, in an era dominated by powerful ancient creatures, how could the elven civilization have grown into something comparable to dragons in just a few thousand years? Were they born powerful?

Michel has studied ancient history for many years, and the more he studies, the more he feels that this is a special existence with a civilization system that leads all races, and it is also what he admires most.

Humanity today suffers from rigid and foolish systems, leaving the lower classes with no hope and social classes as stagnant as a pool of dead water, a place of utter despair.

But the biggest enemy to restart the elven civilization is not the resurgence of the ancient power of the Shadow Faction, but the current corrupt nobles of humanity!

These nobles, who enjoy the greatest benefits, will never allow the current system to be overthrown, nor will they want a system where all social resources are concentrated in the hands of the truly outstanding, ignoring blood ties and personal relationships!

As Mr. Bright said, if we want to revive the elven civilization in secret, we must learn to be flexible and win them over, instead of simply resisting them. Right now, the power of the elves is like a candle flame in the dark, which could be extinguished at any time.

Winning over disgruntled lower and middle-class nobles and secretly accumulating power is the only way out now.

He used the latest elven robe to win over many people, most of whom were Frankish merchants like himself. These merchants, whose capital had long been exploited by the aristocracy, were the best targets for wooing.

The nobles of Mirandil were the result of careful selection.

Even before the Elf quest began, I had already started planning.

First, there was Lady Britney. As a famous socialite in Milandil, she skillfully used her beauty to navigate among various noble figures and secured many excellent business opportunities. Nobles who were infatuated with her would readily grant her the business she negotiated.

Using a woman's beauty to gain power sounds shameful, but it's the most practical path. Few men aren't lustful, and a noblewoman who knows how to use her beauty is the most alluring piece of flesh in many men's hearts. With her, they can release many of the elven secrets into the noble circle.

The Elven civilization relies on the World Tree, and in the realm of herbal alchemy, they are an unparalleled force among the ancient races, the undisputed kings of medicine. For the nobles, the extravagance of power requires a healthy body. Many nobles were too extravagant in their youth and have long since exhausted their resources. A medicine that can cure, or at least temporarily cure, them would surely open up the market and provide the newly revived Elven civilization with a wealth of wealth and opportunities.

Mrs. Britney Spears would be the best spokesperson for this drug.

Count Ace is a famous pirate nobleman in Mirandil, despised by many traditional nobles who consider themselves to have noble blood. However, Michel thinks highly of him, believing that his abilities are among the best he has ever met.

The ocean is unrepeatable due to its complex weather, and even with high profits, it is considered a high-risk industry by many nobles. They might send agents or their less favored sons to do it, but they themselves would not do it. Ace was the most capable pirate and the most obedient pirate. He was willing to contribute 80% of the profits and serve as a lackey for the nobles. Such a person could be tolerated, but because of his strength, the nobles could only tolerate him.

The reason is simple: he had been framed and imprisoned before, and as a result, many maritime businesses could not be done without him.

Mr. Bright intends to make the ocean a breeding ground for advanced elves; this place has no laws, and everything depends on experience.

They can establish themselves with their strength, and compared to the battlefield, this place is less likely to attract attention, making it the best place for new elves.

Count Ruhr is the most talented scholar at the Milandil Institute of Engineering. Although he is not good at interpersonal relationships, even the Duke acknowledges his talent, otherwise he would not have secretly protected him from being expelled.

The reason why they are living in poverty now is that the Duke is short of money. His health is extremely expensive and requires a lot of money to maintain. However, many of the results of Rules' experiments are delayed and have a high probability of failure.

The people of the Rhine Empire simply don't have the same research atmosphere as the Charité. They only value short-term interests too much and don't understand that scientific research requires sacrificing short-term gains to create miracles, and it is very likely to be a bottomless pit.

However, Count Rulls was the best mentor to the revived elven civilization. The elven civilization had the best alchemists and enchanters, and the elves once had the best enchanting and forging technology, creating countless weapons and items that could fight against dragons and giants.

In order to counter the powerful physiques of those two races, in terms of materials science, elves and shadows were the kings of that era.

The Elven civilization might offer answers to Count Rulls's dilemmas in many areas. For elves inclined towards scholarship, being secretly mentored by this one person would be the most suitable option. Since these scholars all come from Holy Stone City, they lack a foundation and are unlikely to be valued. According to his plan, Holy Stone City will mine the forest veins, providing the best resources for those scholars to conduct experiments and create better products. He will also relinquish most of the profits, allowing these scholars to reap the rewards.

By the time many nobles realized what was happening, the elves had already formed a monopoly on the industry. Of course... this required meticulous planning and careful execution, and it might have been very difficult at first.

The reason is simple: Mr. Bright intends to find scholars from the black market, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Compared to them, children who have received systematic training from the nobility since childhood are actually more suitable. But the problem is that the plan cannot involve the descendants of the nobility.

He agreed that the elves' technology must be in the hands of their own people, but how to implement it was a complicated matter.

Training the workers of Holy Stone City into mid- to low-level industrial workers and advanced technicians is a worthwhile option, even though it's a bit of a waste of elven robes. However, training scholars from the black market, especially those with the kind of skills that can influence the future market, requires exceptional talent.

He had observed Yu Nu Wugua's aptitude and admitted that there might be some such geniuses in the black market, but the probability was extremely low.

However, now that Bright has accomplished the first step, he believes that the other party can also accomplish the second step.

Thinking of this, Michelle looked at the guests who had come to visit her at her doorstep.

It was none other than a young master from the Igor family.

I didn't expect to catch a whiff of something so quickly.

Mr. Bright, your choice to form a marriage alliance with the Igor family in order to solidify your position in Holy Stone City has many advantages, but it also has many disadvantages. For example, the Duke's self-righteous descendants are a huge problem for you now.

"I never thought I'd actually come back..." Li Gou Dan glanced back at the river with lingering fear. She could clearly feel the terrifying eyes staring at her from the shadows. If it weren't for Mr. Bright possessing her, she was certain that she would have become that giant crab's midnight snack.

But this time the gains were also huge, the first being a large amount of experience points from the system!

Because she indirectly caused the fall of the Shadow Messenger and changed the course of history, she gained a massive amount of experience, more than she had gained from all her previous missions. She felt that if she used all of it on the Ranger class, she could instantly become a level 40 Ranger.

This is practically like taking off!

A level 40 professional should be able to advance to the second stage, right?

That's the air of nobility you'd have anywhere, tsk tsk...

I originally thought I would have to work hard for a very long time, but I didn't expect to achieve it so quickly.

Where should one build their own noble castle?

Then there were material rewards; besides the elven robe, he also received an elemental potion from that powerful figure, and... a complete set of leather armor!

According to the other party, this leather armor is made from the hide of some kind of magical beast and has the ability to be compatible with the wind element. However, it should be used with caution, because if one uses the excessive affinity rashly at one's level, one may be drained of magic power.

This was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing, and when she put the items in her spatial bag and checked them, she was almost startled.

Xiaobaicai's Muji Leather Armor Design No. 741...

The name was simply ridiculous, but when she saw the level and the materials used to make it, she couldn't believe it was real.

The material used to make it comes from the skin of the Wind Feather Serpent. If I remember correctly, in many city monster legends, this kind of thing is capable of destroying a city, right?

Many records describe this creature as the most terrifying beast on the grasslands, a monster capable of swallowing an entire city. It hides in the clouds, and once it descends, it can blot out the sun and devour a city, leaving no living creature behind but its digested bones. Cities it passes through become cities of bones, hence the name Bone Demon!

It is said that to defeat such a monster, one needs at least a level 60 top-tier combat power and at least tens of thousands of elite troops. In the northern grasslands, only a great power like the Bes Empire has the resources to do so.

So the skin of this thing was taken out and made into leather armor? And then given back to him?

Judging by the level, it's epic quality...

Li Gou Dan didn't know what to say for a moment. Her best equipment was an enchanted dagger that she had bought at great expense to hunt high-level magical beasts. Its level was only blue and good.

In this world, gray finished products and gray semi-finished products are the equipment used by most black market people like them, while blue quality products are luxury items that only a very few people can occasionally obtain one or two pieces of.

Most of them are used on weapons; I've only ever seen one piece of blue-quality armor on Murong Yunji.

The reason is simple: armor is more expensive to produce than weapons, and more importantly, less efficient.

After the blue-quality items, there are the gold-quality items, which are usually only available to noble children. I have only seen them on some demon hunters who are level 40 or above, and most of them only have weapons. Those who have gold-quality armor are mostly earls or nobles at the legion commander level.

Above the finest are the ultimate items, which are the standard equipment for nobles and marquises, and are only available to commanders of large legions.

Epic? Even generals might not be qualified to wear it.

Is the system malfunctioning?
