Genius in One Second Remember to Go Away? To provide you with exciting novels to read.
In fact, although Goblin Engineering was extensive and profound, how could there be a Master Engineer in a remote place like Rattan City?
However, it was the same no matter where one learned the most basic Engineering. Only when one reached Specialist Level would one have to choose a more suitable mentor. In order to increase his Goblin Reputation, Lu Li could only bite the bullet and follow the Guard Captain to learn the great Engineering of Rattan City.
The Guard Captain led Lu Li across the wooden bridge. Along the way, the NPCs who saw Lu Li all looked at him unkindly. This was the side effect of Reputation and Hatred.
After reaching the shore, they turned left and right and arrived at a small house with two humanoid robots outside.
The Goblins' stature was comparable to that of Dwarves. In Lu Li's eyes, their house could only be considered a small house.
After entering the house, he had to bend down. Fortunately, the sofa in the room could accommodate his butt. After sitting down, he could straighten his neck.
"Oh, Gaby, why did you bring an unwelcome Elf to my place?" The Goblin Engineer wore a pair of strangely shaped glasses. When he turned his head, Lu Li could see the enlarged eyeball behind the glasses. It was simply horrifying.
"Although he's an unwelcome robber, he has brought gold coins to atone for his sins," the Guard Captain said with a flattering smile.
"Oh, you want to learn Engineering?" The Goblin Engineer's expression became much better. However, the thing in the crucible on his experiment table had reached a critical moment. He tossed over a book that was neither new nor old, and added, "Five gold coins."
Lu Li almost vomited blood. In other places, learning a normal Life Skill would only cost 50 silver coins. These greedy Dwarves actually cheated him of ten times that amount.
However, it couldn't be helped. If he wanted to increase his Reputation, he had to pay the price. Moreover, he was now being watched by an NPC that was over level 60, so he could only obediently fork out the money.
System: You have obtained the favour of the Goblin. Your Reputation has reached neutral.
System: You have discovered Rattan City. You have obtained 200 EXP …
Hearing the system notification, Lu Li finally heaved a sigh of relief. At least the NPCs here wouldn't attack him.
The Goblins had always been polite to rich people. The Guard Captain bowed to Lu Li and left with the Goblin Musket.
Lu Li opened the Engineering Skill Book. The title page was written in the Goblin language in light blue ink, which he couldn't understand at all. Fortunately, this was a virtual game, so no matter how realistic it was, it was still a game. After he used the Skill Book, the Basic Engineering Skill Book, which was worth 5 gold coins, disappeared.
The Goblin Engineering Trainer ignored Lu Li's learning style and continued to focus on his experiments. "If you don't have any other requests, please leave. I'm very busy right now."
"Dear Master, do you have any recipes for sale?" Regardless of whether it was good or bad, every Trade Skill trainer had their own unique recipe. Lu Li knew that the trainer in front of him was no exception.
"Oh, it's on the counter over there. Three gold coins for one. If you want it, just pay up. Despicable Elf, don't expect me to explain these unique skills to you." Because his Reputation was only neutral, the Goblin Engineer's attitude couldn't be said to be friendly.
Lu Li wasn't angry. He walked to the dusty oak table beside him. There were a few thin pieces of parchment paper on the table.
Blueprint: Blue Flame. Used for entertainment. Not really a unique recipe. Similar recipes could be found all over the continent. Of course, it wasn't worth 3 gold coins.
Blueprint: Exquisite Handmade Musket. Damage is average. The materials required are not cheap. It's only a Bronze-grade weapon. It's also not useful. Lu Li shook his head and threw the blueprint back.
After looking at two more, Lu Li was completely disappointed. It seemed that this Goblin Engineer was at most an Intermediate Level. These blueprints were all low-end goods that no one cared about. He picked up the last one without much hope.
After a long time …
"Master, are all the blueprints here for sale?" Lu Li tried hard to calm his frantic heartbeat, afraid that the Goblin Engineer would see through his excitement.
He was thinking too much. The Goblin Engineer obviously couldn't spare any energy to look back. He shouted impatiently, "Whichever one you like, leave the gold coins and get out of here. Otherwise, I'll let you experience the fury of an Engineer!"
Lu Li took the last recipe and quickly threw three gold coins on the Goblin's experiment table. He then strode out.
Just as he walked out of the shop, an arrow flew towards him!
Could it be that I've been exposed? Lu Li's heart sank. He was afraid that the next second, a group of NPCs would surround him and take away his blueprint.
The crossbow bolt nailed itself into his shoulder, dealing over 70 damage. The attack seemed to be pretty good, but for a Level 60 NPC, this kind of attack was probably too low to be reasonable.
Just as he was feeling confused, a group of NPCs rushed over …
Then, he rushed past him and slashed a … troll on the other side of the humanoid automaton to death.
Lu Li suddenly realized that there were Evil Faction players attacking him. These NPCs weren't after him.
In Dawn, there were some areas and NPCs that belonged to the Neutral Faction. Rattan City was one of them. They had no bias towards players from the Light Faction or the Evil Faction, but no matter who it was, as long as they attacked them, they would treat it as a provocation.
Just like before, they killed the NPCs without hesitation.
Level 60 NPCs, and a group of them at that. The poor Evil Faction Hunter didn't even have time to react before he turned into a corpse.
Huh, not only did he turn into a corpse, but he also dropped equipment.
He would be a fool not to take advantage of this opportunity, not to mention a pie that fell from the sky. Lu Li ran over to pick up the item and threw it into his backpack. Then, he rushed out of the town and immediately transformed into a cheetah. He carefully avoided the monsters outside the town and ran along the coastline in the direction of Dustwallow Swamp.
"My formula! Eh? Where did the formula I left here go …" A shrill roar suddenly came from the Goblin Engineer's hut. "Damned Elves! They stole Akale's bomb formula! Damn it! Damn it! Guards! Guards!"
"Sir, what can I do for you?" The guards heard the commotion and rushed over. They were shocked to see the Goblin Engineer who was on the verge of going crazy. The bottles and jars that he treasured were shattered on the ground, and various materials and accessories were scattered everywhere. These actions that almost made him bankrupt were not enough to quell his anger.
"An Elf, an Elf that Captain Gaby just brought over. He … he …" The Goblin Engineer Akale suddenly couldn't continue.
Steal it?
Cheat it?
Steal it?
Goblins were cunning and greedy. When they sold things, they asked for sky-high prices, but they were also very determined to maintain a completed transaction.
One of the more classic lines of the Goblin race was, "Don't even think about taking a single gold coin from my purse. There is no such thing as a refund in the dictionary of the Goblins …"
Akale slumped on the dirty floor. He had to admit that rather than saying that Lu Li stole, cheated, and stole his recipe, it was more accurate to say that he bought the recipe. They had completed the transaction willingly under the witness of the System God.
"Sob sob sob, the great Akale has suffered a loss. Akale sold all his belongings for three gold coins …" The sorrowful Goblin Engineer couldn't help but cry bitterly. His cries were very sorrowful. Those who heard it would be sad and those who heard it would be tearful.
A few guards understood and sympathized with him. The Goblin race was known to only earn and never lose. Losing money was more serious than killing them. It was no wonder that Akale was so sorrowful.
PS: I suddenly remembered the encounter in Rattan City. Actually, I accidentally touched that Alliance player, but those guards didn't even give me a chance to explain …
