Chapter 272 Monkey Wine!
"Oh? Top-quality materials worth tens of millions? That sounds pretty good."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "I can help you forge divine weapons. You can provide the materials yourself, and the cost will be paid with materials of equal value."
A moment later, he went directly to the Wan Shou City warehouse with Hou Ji and the others.
Xiao Yu was somewhat surprised by the quantity and quality of the materials inside.
It has to be said that the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is truly wealthy; these materials are definitely worth tens of millions!
Unfortunately, in the hands of the orcs who cannot trade with the outside world and do not know how to forge divine weapons, these things are essentially worthless.
Now...
These materials, which were extremely valuable to Xiao Yu, were left to gather dust in the cave.
"Tell me the styles of weapons and armor you want, and I'll select the materials first," Xiao Yu said while checking the materials in the warehouse.
“Yes, Lord of Dragon City, we have already thought it through!” Hou Ji nodded immediately. Chao Zhu Gang, Gou Dao, Niu Dali, and the others nodded, signaling everyone to state the weapons they wanted.
"Lord of Dragon City, I am skilled with an axe and would like a two-meter-long giant axe!"
"I prefer using a broadsword, and I'd like a two-and-a-half-meter-long broadsword, the heavier the better!"
"I want a spiked club, the heavier the better!"
……
A group of high-ranking officials expressed their needs one after another, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Xiao Yu listened to each request, while simultaneously scanning the figures of each high-ranking orc and noting down their requirements.
He had only forged weapons for humans before, never for these orcs.
It should be noted that beastmen such as Zhu Gang, Niu Dali, and Hu Daxian are all over 2.5 meters tall!
Such a massive size also prevents it from using ordinary human weapons.
To forge them, we need to take into account their height and weight and tailor the process to their individual needs.
Of course, this means Xiao Yu will definitely charge even more!
"I have noted it down. Take the materials back first, and come back to Dragon City to pick them up in three days!" After saying this, Xiao Yu prepared to return to Dragon City.
If he manages to acquire these divine weapons, he can obtain materials worth at least ten to twenty million!
On the one hand, I am about to go to the City of Ruins and need to prepare more goods.
On the other hand, after the pangolin evolved to the seventh rank, its appetite increased greatly, and its stockpile of extraterrestrial meteorite iron was almost depleted.
With these materials, we should be able to eat pangolins for a long time.
Once the pangolins have consumed all this meteorite iron, their defense will increase by at least several times.
In the end, Xiao Yu will naturally be the one who benefits the most.
"Lord of Dragon City!"
At this moment, Hou Ji suddenly called out to Xiao Yu. He scratched the golden monkey's head and chuckled, "You've helped us orcs too much! I've always felt bad about it. This is a rare drink that I obtained by chance. Please have a taste."
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized animal skin bag from his pocket and reluctantly handed it to Xiao Yu.
"Brother! This is something you've treasured for years, how could you..."
When Hou Ji handed the animal skin bag to Xiao Yu, Zhu Gang and Gou Dao both looked over.
Both of them stared intently at the animal skin bag.
It was obvious that the two of them were very eager for what was in the bag.
"What is this?" Xiao Yu looked around at the three people with a puzzled expression, then opened the stopper of the animal skin bag. Instantly, his eyes lit up.
"It smells so good!"
This was Xiao Yu's first thought.
A rich and mellow aroma.
Xiao Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling a sense of intoxication.
It's filled with alcohol!
"Hahaha... I never expected you to have such a good thing!" Xiao Yu laughed excitedly twice, patted Hou Ji's small body heartily, and then tilted his head back and gulped down two mouthfuls.
It has a mellow taste and a rich aroma.
You can tell from the taste that this wine is made from fruit.
It looks yellowish and very cloudy.
However, because it has been aged for a long time, the alcohol content is not low.
The taste wasn't particularly good, but it was still decent.
It's much better than the industrialized alcohol of the modern world.
"City Lord, you said you obtained it by chance? How did you obtain it?"
After taking a sip, Xiao Yu looked at Hou Ji curiously and asked, "Could you tell me the whole story? This city lord... will forge a sixth-grade top-quality divine weapon for you for free!"
This is a wasteland world, yet someone can brew fine wine.
If he could figure it out, he might be able to brew an unparalleled wine.
"A sixth-tier top-grade divine weapon?"
Upon hearing this, the orcs' eyes lit up.
Although they provided the materials, a sixth-tier top-grade divine weapon is worth at least a million.
As for divine weapons, Xiao Yu could naturally forge them as well.
But unless it's someone truly one of our own, it's impossible to forge someone else's skills!
"Lord of Dragon City, I am ashamed to say this!"
Hou Ji scratched his head and said, "Several years ago, I was hunting in the Wanshou Mountains when I suddenly smelled a rich aroma. Then I discovered a monkey in the mountains, seemingly fiddling with something delicious that smelled amazing..."
Next, Hou Ji briefly recounted how he obtained the fine wine.
Originally, he intended to kill all the ferocious beasts in front of him.
However, seeing that it was a monkey, and since it was practically a relative, he didn't do anything about it.
In the end, Hou Ji stole the delicious food that the monkey had been preparing.
When I got back, I discovered it was a very magical drink, incredibly delicious, and intoxicating.
Furthermore, Hou Ji discovered that among the pile of things he brought back was an ancient book...
"Lord of Dragon City, this is the ancient book I obtained back then..." Hou Ji said, no longer hiding anything, and directly handed over the treasure he once valued most to Xiao Yu.
"Unfortunately, the ancient text is written in a complex and difficult-to-understand script, so I dare not attempt it lightly. However... there are quite a few brewing scenes in the book. I guess that monkey learned by following the pictures, which is how it brewed such a superb wine. Unfortunately, I don't have the monkey's ability to gather all kinds of fruits, so my brewed wine is not even as good as that monkey's..."
At this point, Hou Ji couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly.
I'm not even as good as a monkey.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu flipped through the ancient book and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Because these so-called ancient books are indeed similar to ancient books, and they are even written in traditional Chinese characters, unlike modern people. They are also very different from the hieroglyphs of the wasteland world, so it's no wonder that Hou Ji couldn't understand them.
However, Xiao Yu naturally understood.
But the traditional characters were also difficult to read, so he only glanced at them.
The general idea is that by collecting several top-quality ingredients, you can brew some kind of divine brew.
I'll have to go back and study it more carefully.
"So, this is the legendary monkey wine? No wonder it tastes so mellow and has such a rich aroma." Thinking of the origin of this fine wine, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. He opened the wine bag again, tilted his head back, and took a sip.
When the three brothers Houji, Zhu Gang, and Gou Dao saw this, they couldn't help but swallow hard.
It was obvious that Hou Ji didn't drink much of the wine after receiving it.
