Zhang Yang was dumbfounded. Zhang Yang didn’t understand what gay meant, but this didn’t hinder the conversation between Zhang Yang and Shi Hao. Zhang Yang said with a big smile: “Village Chief Shi, I will also not beat around the bush. I especially made a trip here to tell you something. Wei Wentong has already been transferred to participate in an important task arranged by Divine and Mighty Alliance. It is impossible for Wei Wentong to come and look for trouble with Twin Dragons Village for a long time. I think, according to the current developing trend of Twin Dragons Village, when Wei Wentong is able to come, Village Chief Shi would already be able to stand straight and speak.”
Zhang Yang didn’t know that Shi Hao had long learned of this news. Shi Hao was amused.
Shi Hao then said with a smile: “Village Chief Zhang, I’ve already learned of this news. Otherwise, would I still have any thoughts on selling weapons here? Speaking about it, didn’t your Tranquil Water Village also have the qualification to sell items? Why are you looking at me with jealousy? Why don’t you go and sell items yourself too?”
Shi Hao’s words hit the mark. Why didn’t Zhang Yang do this earlier? Was he stupid? No, he wasn’t stupid! Therefore, he must have a reason that made him unable to sell items.
Zhang Yang sighed and said: “Village Chief Shi, you don’t know it but the villages of Divine and Mighty Alliance are not allowed to sell items without permission. In the entire West Flower Region, only Hibiscus County has this qualification. Moreover, even Hibiscus County also can’t sell all items at will. What can be sold and what can’t be sold, there are clear regulations. As for my Tranquil Water Village, it doesn’t have any qualification to take part in it.”
While speaking about it, Novice Villages didn’t belong to Divine and Mighty Alliance. Novice Villages were personally managed by the game system. Therefore, Divine and Mighty Alliance couldn’t interfere in the sales of items in Novice Villages. However, with the price of items in Novice Village, other than new players, only a fool would go there to purchase items.
Shi Hao understood the reason. He then asked straightforwardly: “Since that is the case, what other matter brought Village Chief Zhang here to look for me?”
Shi Hao didn’t believe that Zhang Yang had come here to purely tell him the matter of Wei Wentong. Although Zhang Yang could be regarded as a soft person who tries to get along with everyone, he was not so good to this degree. If it was purely for the matter of Wei Wentong, then he could have just sent his subordinate to deliver a letter. Going back and forth between Tranquil Water Village and Twin Dragons Village was rather tiring. Other than Shi Hao who possessed a treasure like Cloud Mist Beast, very few people would like to run back and forth between these two villages.
Zhang Yang and Shi Hao were very familiar with each other, after all, they were close cooperation partners. Therefore, Zhang Yang said without any reservation: “Village Chief Shi, this time, this Zhang came to Twin Dragons Village for two matters. First, the current strength of Twin Dragons Village has already surpassed Tranquil Water Village. And, in the matter of mining resources, the efficiency of Twin Dragons Village is much better than Tranquil Water Village. At this development speed, Twin Dragons Village will soon become a level 4 village. As for my Tranquil Water Village, it is just a level 2 village. However! If Village Chief Shi wants to upgrade a level 4 village to a level 1 town, then it cannot be done by simply spending goods and materials.”
Zhang Yang’s tone made it hard to pin down. Shi Hao didn’t know what was special about upgrading a level 4 village to a level 1 town. This kind of matter was not mentioned in <<Kingdom>>’s forum. However, since Zhang Yang had said so, there must be something.
Zhang Yang continued: “A special item is required to successfully upgrade to a town. Even if your village reaches level 4, you will not know this point. Because this special item is not really an essential thing to upgrade a village to a town! Therefore, there would be no hint of this special item among the materials required to upgrade. In other words, it is possible to successfully upgrade without using a special item. However, there is a high chance that this kind of forced upgrade method would just consume goods and materials in vain, and no actual result would be obtained. After all, without that special item, the success rate of the upgrade is astonishingly low. In order to prevent Village Chief Shi from wasting money, this Zhang must make it clear for you. This special item is called Upgrade Soul.”
Shi Hao listened carefully to Zhang Yang’s explanation. As it turned out, Upgrade Soul was an important item to ensure the upgrade. No matter if it was a village upgrading to a town, a town upgrading to a county or so on, these upgrade processes were different from the upgrade of level 1 village to level 2 village and so on. They had a success rate. It would be best to use Upgrade Soul as a supplementary item. Upgrade Soul would greatly increase the success rate of the upgrade. Without this item, it would be best to not upgrade. Moreover, Upgrade Souls also had a grade classification. They also had six grades, SS, S, A, B, C, D. The higher the grade, the higher the success rate during the upgrade, and after the upgrade, the possibility of the appearance of additional special buildings (for instance Stargazing Platform) was also higher. The higher-grade Upgrade Souls would definitely be very popular. However, even low-grade Upgrade Soul was a very rare thing.
Furthermore, in addition to this, the upgrade of those buildings in the village also had a success rate. The upgrade of those buildings was riskier than the upgrade of the entire stronghold! Under a normal situation, after the buildings were upgraded to level 3, it would be best to not upgrade blindly. One should know that, the failure of stronghold upgrade would at most waste goods and materials, but in case of the failure of building upgrade, there was a danger of self-destruction. Once the building was self-destroyed, there would be a system restriction even if you want to rebuild. You have to wait for a full month. Moreover, after it was rebuilt, it would be a level 1 building.
Ah! Shi Hao was truly surprised. Fortunately, Zhang Yang had come. If he had not come here for a period of time, then Shi Hao might have foolishly tried to upgrade his village to a town. At that time, it would certainly be a tragedy. Only the village chief-leveled figures of Divine and Mighty Alliance should know of this information. And as the saying ‘give plum in return for a peach’, since Zhang Yang had told him such important information, Shi Hao naturally understood that Zhang Yang should have an important request for him. Otherwise, Zhang Yang would have charged him for this information.
Shi Hao said earnestly: “Village Chief Zhang, your information is invaluable. I wonder what the second matter is. As long as Twin Dragons Village can do it, I’ll not decline.”
Zang Yang had already shown his bargaining chip. So, he naturally was not polite and said: “As far as I know, among the rewards for the victory of this West Flower Region’s dungeon mission, there is an Upgrade Soul! Naturally, if there is only one Upgrade Soul, then I would be too embarrassed to ask for it. But this dungeon mission has another Upgrade Soul with Wei Wentong. Moreover, it’s a high-grade Upgrade Soul. This, however, is a secret. Only those people who capture Wei Wentong will get this hidden reward. Moreover, I have made some inquiries. This dungeon mission will be held in West River Dragon Pond. The geographical position of West River Dragon Pond is very remote. Ordinary people basically didn’t know that there is such a place. It is strategically located and easy to defend. There is only one big entrance, and both sides of this entrance are covered with burning hot rocks. No one can stay there. And once you enter into West River Dragon Pond from this entrance, it’s a highland in the front! Wei Wentong is stationed in that highland. Your mission is to conquer the highland. And after you are successful, you must capture Wei Wentong. That’s the important point! I know that if Wei Wentong is defeated, he will run away from a trail for sure. But there is another trail that leads directly to…”
Zhang Yang carefully explained everything (Zhang Yang didn’t know that Zhang Han had given Shi Hao a Cloud Mist Beast to prevent Wei Wentong from escaping). It seemed that Wei Wentong had no escape from misfortune. Zhang Han wanted to set him up and Zhang Yang also wanted to set him up. He was screwed.
However, was this matter truly that simple? It might not be. Everything would be determined only after the dungeon was opened.
