Due to the Yellow Turban Uprising plot area's Quest Appraisal distribution being quite scattered, and the time available to exchange for items was also limited. Therefore, not many players were willing to pay for Quest Appraisal. Most of them were large player organizations, and they would stop after receiving a certain number of Quest Appraisal.
Due to these factors, the price of the Mission Appraisal had always been low. Among them, the Appraisal for the Battle of Guangzong region was the most expensive. Each Appraisal for the Battle of Nanyang region was around 30 silver coins. The Appraisal for the Battle of Yingchuan region was around 20 silver coins. The Appraisal for the Battle of Yingchuan region was even less than 10 silver coins!
Therefore, when Manager Eileen found out that Yang Rui still had a large number of Quest Appraisal in his hands, she took the initiative to suggest that Yang Rui give up on selling them and purchase them instead. This way, he would be able to exchange for better items at a lower price. Yang Rui felt that what she said was reasonable, so he let Manager Eileen do as she pleased. Including the Quest Appraisal for the three regions, Yang Rui also paid a deposit of 5000 gold coins.
Before this, Yang Rui had already reached an agreement with Manager Eileen to sell the wood. He used the trading platform's homepage to post the relevant information on the sale of the wood. It was similar to the way Yang Rui released the information when he purchased the wood. Because it involved the transaction, Yang Rui kept his communication with Eileen open and didn't turn it off.
When Yang Rui arrived at Wei Tang Town, Jiao Wen and the others had already built three dagger-boats. There were many soldiers training and familiarizing themselves with the dagger-boats. The size of the dagger-boats was much larger than the other ships that Yang Rui owned. Although the soldiers were still in the training stage, they could still move fast. They could already row the dagger-axe boats very fast, and the soldiers on the dagger-axe boats could attack at any time. Yang Rui had a rough idea of the strength of the dagger-boats after looking at them.
The reason why he stayed in Wei Tang Town was mainly because Yang Rui wanted to unload more grade 9 wood for the construction of the dagger-boats. Although the pirate camp also had a high grade dock, it was not convenient for labor. Currently, the construction of the dagger-boats was only done in Wei Tang Town.
Originally, only Intermediate Level Carpenters were needed to build the dagger-boats. However, under the leadership of Jiao Wen, an Expert Level Carpenter, the construction efficiency of the dagger-boats increased by a lot. Every day, they would be able to build about ten warships.
Currently, Yang Rui had plenty of Grade 9 Inferior Wood. Therefore, after arriving at Weitang Town, Yang Rui asked Jiao Wen and the others to build the warships. This type of item was definitely a strategic resource in the current stage of the game. Of course, the more the better.
Apart from that, Yang Rui also contacted the leader of the Broken Moon Union – Remnant One. He invited him to the Glorybound Peak checkpoint of the Mountain City and used the abundant wood resources he had on hand to exchange for three hundred Fourth Grade Water Soldier skill books. Previously, Yang Rui had reached an agreement with him to exchange wood for the Water Soldier Skill Book. Yang Rui had plenty of high grade wood on hand. Originally, he had wanted to exchange for a few more skill books. Unfortunately, the other party did not have enough skill books, so he could only exchange for this many for now.
In the current stage of the game, whether it was a Fourth Grade Water Soldier skill book or Grade 9 Inferior Wood, it was not easy to obtain. Due to the needs of the players to develop their strength, Third Grade and Fourth Grade skill books were what the players needed the most. Moreover, the number of normal monster communities was very limited. Especially the Fourth Grade Water Soldier skill books. Yang Rui had never encountered a corresponding monster community!
The reason why the Broken Moon Union was able to produce so many Fourth Grade Water Soldier skill books must be because they occupied the resources of the relevant monster communities. Thinking of the broken tower ship and dagger-boat construction blueprints that they had traded to Yang Rui, Yang Rui thought. Yang Rui had reason to believe that the Broken Moon Union must have found some special water resources from the very beginning. It was very likely that they already possessed a considerable amount of water power!
If that was not the case. The Broken Moon Union would not be able to mass produce Fourth Grade Water Soldier skill books! In the current stage of the game, only a few large player organizations had a portion of combat strength above Fourth Grade. The mainstream players were still at the level of Second Grade and Third Grade. Therefore, Yang Rui secretly felt that the Broken Moon Union's strength was not to be underestimated.
In comparison, it was not easy to obtain Superior Inferior Wood. Regardless of the type of wood above Grade 9, it did not appear on a large scale. It was hard to say where one or two Superior Inferior Wood would appear from time to time. Therefore, being able to harvest Superior Inferior Wood had a lot to do with luck. Yang Rui had several lumber mills in Mountain City. Moreover, the Mount Tai Mountain Range was relatively rich in rare wood. However, the amount of Superior Inferior Wood he had harvested up until now was still very limited.
After resting for two to three days in Mountain City, all the affairs in the territory had been carried out in an orderly manner. The horses of Yang Rui's cavalry had also been transported back. In the form of squads, they patrolled the fifty kilometer radius around Glorypeak, hunting monsters, and gathering refugees and refugees. Every squad was led by a beginner general. It was clear that this area had already been included in the territory of Mountain City.
Most importantly, the Juping County Magistrate's transfer order was issued very quickly. As expected, Magistrate Liu was transferred away. As for the new Magistrate Yan, he sent a letter to Yang Rui as soon as he took office, stating that he was under Zuo Feng's command and would definitely take care of the interests of Mountain City! Because of this, Mountain City had no more worries for the time being!
Because of this, Yang Rui once again set out on his journey to Le Du City to hunt the Western Qiang rebels after replying to the letter and expressing his thanks.
The previous punitive expedition against the Xiongnu had already made Yang Rui aware of the limitations of his own strength. If they were to face the Xiongnu head-on, Yang Rui's troops might not even be able to take down a single Xiongnu core tent. As such, his strength still needed to be improved!
Meanwhile, the Western Qiang rebels' generals, cavalry, and vanguard warriors had all become Yang Rui's primary targets to improve his strength. From there, he could obtain the corresponding skill books and various equipment. Moreover, Yang Rui could also hunt horses in the Western Liang region to satisfy his cavalry needs and sell them. Currently, Yang Rui still had an agreement with the CU Alliance to provide him with a thousand horses per month.
The forces Yang Rui brought with him on this journey to the west included Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, and Cheng Yu, eighty beginner generals, twenty Fifth Grade bandit leaders, and one thousand Fourth Grade foot soldiers who had met the requirements to advance to the next grade.
As they mainly needed to deal with Western Qiang's Fifth Grade vanguard warriors, small groups of Fourth Grade cavalry, and scattered Western Qiang generals, Yang Rui's main combat force was the beginner generals. The remaining bandit leaders were only used to scout the enemy's situation. Meanwhile, the one thousand Fourth Grade soldiers were mainly used to capture and transport horses. They had already met the requirements to advance to Fifth Grade. They only lacked skill books for the time being. As such, capturing and transporting horses did not affect their leveling for the time being.
Even though there weren't many of them, their combat prowess was already very impressive. With Yang Rui's storage ring and Wind Carpet, as well as the stable place to rest and recover provided by Ledu City, Yang Rui and the others could move freely within the Western Qiang rebels' territory. At the same time, they did not violate the terms of the peace agreement between Yang Rui and the Western Qiang rebels.
With such powerful hardware, Yang Rui and his party's efficiency was naturally not low. Often, a large group of cavalry would be exterminated by a single Fire Rain of the Celestial Spirits from Zhang Ning. Fire Rain of the Celestial Spirits had a relatively long cooldown. However, with Gao Shun, Cheng Yu, and Yang Rui's all-out fighting party (the one thousand Fourth Grade soldiers had not been used at all), clearing out the Western Qiang rebels was a piece of cake!
First of all, Yang Rui already knew the spawn points of the Western Qiang Vanguard warriors near Banahan City. Yang Rui's primary targets were these Vanguard warriors. The one thousand or so Vanguard warriors that spawned near Banahan City every day could not escape Yang Rui's hunt. As a result, Yang Rui obtained more than three hundred sets of Fifth Grade Vanguard skill books and related weapons every day.
Other tasks such as capturing horses and killing Western Qiang generals and cavalry were all done on the way to the Vanguard warriors. Yang Rui would often use the Wind Carpet to take more detours, taking a different route to Banahan City every time. Whenever he ran into Western Qiang cavalry, generals, or wild horses, he would attack along the way.
Of course, it only took Yang Rui about four to six hours to farm the First Ascender Warriors. In the remaining time, Yang Rui used the Flying Carpet to move freely in the vast territory of the Western Qiang Rebel Army. When he discovered any relevant resources, he would stop to collect them. In this manner, Yang Rui's other rewards were considerable as well!
Just the skill books and equipment for Fourth Grade cavalry alone amounted to no less than five to six hundred sets. The skill books and equipment for the other foot soldiers amounted to one hundred to two hundred sets. The gold coins he earned was not a small sum either. As for the special skills and internal strength skill books for generals of various levels, his luck had a lot to do with it. When he was lucky, he could get ten to twenty sets. When he was lucky, he could get a few sets. Moreover, Yang Rui also captured two to three hundred horses every day. And this was only because Yang Rui only targeted the wild horses near Le Du City for convenience.
Yang Rui continued to list the horses in the market of Le Du City as usual. Moreover, before coming to Western Liang, Yang Rui had instructed Chi Zhong, who was in charge of guarding the market, to immediately cancel the listing if he discovered any of Yang Rui's listed horses. Thus, he could obtain any of Yang Rui's listed horses from Mountain City. The only thing was that he had to pay a fee. The fee was cheaper than transporting the horses from the relay station.
For the next dozen days, Yang Rui focused on killing monsters in the Western Qiang rebels' territory. It was only when the date of the horse trade with the CU Alliance arrived that Yang Rui returned to Mountain City.
During this time, Yang Rui had obtained a bountiful harvest. It included 12 sets of intermediate general class advancement skill books, 106 sets of beginner general class advancement skill books, 2,831 sets of Fifth Grade Vanguard class advancement skill books, 435 sets of Fifth Grade Cavalry class advancement skill books (Qiang's specialty), 323 sets of Fifth Grade Cavalry class advancement skill books, 3,486 sets of Fourth Grade Cavalry class advancement skill books, 293 sets of Third Grade Archer class advancement skill books, and over two thousand skill books for all other ranks.
