Li Zhen immediately said, “You saved our lives. These Black Sludge Fishmen can take as many as they want.”
“As for your proposal just now, we agree too!”
“Then let’s go!”
At Zheng Cheng’s command, everyone immediately sprang into action.
Qin Zheng, Yao Zhixue, Cai Shen, and Li Zhen were going to assist Bai Jingqi.
He, on the other hand, was going to rescue Li Jiao with Song Chaoyu and Liang Feifan.
After both groups complete their tasks, they would regroup and seize the Heart of the Earth!
Just as Zheng Cheng was about to collect the fishmen corpses, Cai Shen ran back into the pile, searching for something.
“Chicken, what are you up to? Rest up. You still need to help Bai Jingqi!”
“Brother Cheng! Come and see this, these fishmen corpses also have gems!”
“Hm?”
An interest sparked in their eyes, and they all rushed over to search.
As expected, some fishmen had greyish beads hanging around their necks.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a special gemstone!
[Item: Grey Moonstone]
[Type: Gemstone]
[Grade: 1 star]
[Effect: It can be embedded in armor, cloth armor, chain armor, mage robes, helmets, shoes and other equipment, allowing the wearer to gain a thin layer of water-elemental shield.]
[Description: A mysterious stone hidden deep within rivers and lakes. It has acquired special energy by absorbing moonlight and the power of water elements.]
“Good stuff, take them!”
They quickly got busy looking for more of these Grey Moonstones on the fishmen corpses.
Qin Zheng walked over, puzzled. “What are you looking for?”
“Special gemstones.” Zheng Cheng threw a Grey Moonstone over. “They can be embedded in your gear, enhancing its abilities.”
Qin Zheng’s eyes lit up. “So that’s how the special gems in our family come from the secret realm, no wonder they’re so rare.”
“You know?” Zheng Cheng asked. “We also found another type of special gemstone on the Beastmen.”
“Of course I know.” Qin Zheng tossed back the Grey Moonstone. “Although our family treasures these special gemstones, we do have quite a few.”
“But I must warn you, these gemstones are a huge money pit!”
“What do you mean?”
Qin Zheng chuckled bitterly. “The equipment must be hole-punched by a blacksmith or an alchemist before gemstones can be embedded. The rule is that you must first embed a 1-star gemstone, then 2-star, 3-star, and so on.”
“Most of the special gemstones we find in the secret realm are 1-star, and to find 2-star gemstones, we must get skilled blacksmiths or alchemists to upgrade them.”
“Three 1-star gemstones can be upgraded into a 2-star one, and three 2-star ones into a 3-star one, and so on.”
“But there’s also a success rate, if it fails, all the gemstones will be destroyed.”
Qin Zheng shrugged. “Even with the power of our Qin Family, we only have three 7-star gemstones in the family, and that’s after hundreds of years of accumulation!”
“Ordinary family members can only embed up to 3-star gemstones!”
“I see.” Zheng Cheng realized. According to Qin Zheng, this really is a huge money pit!
A 7-star gemstone requires… 2160 1-star gemstones!
Hiss…
Zheng Cheng gasped.
That’s not even considering the failure rate.
If it fails a few times, it’ll drive anyone mad.
Zheng Cheng then asked, “What’s the price for a 1-star gemstone?”
“That depends on the type of gemstone.” Qin Zheng said, “For example, Sunstones that increase attack power and Moonstones that increase magic defense, which are popular among physical melee professionists, the price of a 1-star one is around a hundred gold coins.”
“A 2-star one is 500 gold coins, and a 3-star is 3000 gold coins.”
“Once it reaches 4-star, the price increases tenfold!”
“For ordinary professionists, affording a 3-star gemstone is already pretty good.”
Qin Zheng then started doing some calculations. “For a professionist’s gear… there’s weapon, armor, trousers, hat, some have shield, jewelry like ring, necklace, earring… a set of 3-star gemstones would cost around 30,000 to 50,000 gold coins…”
“Damn it! What a rip-off!” Zheng Cheng cursed under his breath, rubbing the Grey Moonstone. “According to you, these special gemstones are consumable items, do Nightwatchers need them?”
“Of course!”
Qin Zheng said, “A 1-star gemstone can be exchanged for 10 merit points.”
“But there’s a limit, you can’t exchange infinitely, otherwise the Nightwatchers’ merit system would’ve collapsed.”
“If they’re valuable, we’ll save them up.”
Zheng Cheng made a prompt decision, “Alright, let’s stop searching for now. I’ll take all the corpses and we can slowly search later!”
With that, he activated his spatial ring and collected all of the Black Sludge Fishmen corpses scattered around.
“Right, there’s one more thing.” Zheng Cheng walked up to Li Zhen. “If I am to rescue your sister, I will need to borrow something from you.”
“What is it?” Li Zhen was curious. “As long as it can help save my sister, I’ll agree to any condition.”
“The egg that you just nabbed from the Black Sludge Fishman. Since the egg is so important to them, I can use it as distraction!”
Li Zhen’s eyes lit up. “That’s a great idea!”
“I wouldn’t say I’m lending it to you, I didn’t know what to do with the egg anyway, so it’s yours.”
With that, Li Zhen pulled out the slightly red egg and handed it to Zheng Cheng.
