Chapter 137 Another Full Moon Night!
Over several hours, Xiao Yu not only tested everyone's strength.
They also taught everyone how to draw a bow and shoot arrows, testing each person's accuracy and five senses, etc...
Xiao Yu discovered that Tie Nan's 101-person team truly lived up to their reputation as the most outstanding blacksmiths. Due to their long-term blacksmithing experience, their physiques far surpassed those of their peers, with each person's single-arm strength exceeding that of their peers by 150-300 jin.
Despite not being an Awakened One, their power is no weaker than that of an Awakened One!
So... these people are not only excellent blacksmiths, but also promising archers.
Looking at Chenlong and the other 65 people, their strength also exceeded that of others of the same level by 50-200 jin.
However... this is only because they have bathed in the life light of the Night-Shining Tree multiple times and consumed Night-Shining Dew, which has strengthened their physique several times. In reality, their talent and physique are far inferior to the 101 blacksmiths.
However... after Xiao Yu's personal training, their flexibility and agility have become even stronger.
The two sides really need to compare the potential of their archers.
One side has more astonishing long-range lethality, while the other side has higher accuracy.
A moment later, Xiao Yu selected 10 people from each of the two teams.
“Now, those whose names I call, step forward!” Xiao Yu stood on the high platform and announced loudly.
Upon hearing his words, everyone present stood at attention, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Everyone knows that as long as your name is called by the city lord, you will soar to great heights!
After all... the city lord has already developed enhancement drugs.
If salaries doubled, everyone would be able to afford fourth-tier or even fifth-tier potions.
In Dragon City, as long as your strength reaches the fifth level, you can truly enter the middle and upper ranks!
"Li Chengang! Step forward!"
"Yes!"
"Zhang Shan! Li Si! Wang Wu! Zhao Liu!...Step forward!"
"Yes!"
……
Those who heard their names perked up, stepped forward, and quickly stepped out of line.
Everyone else was incredibly nervous, eagerly awaiting their name to be called, until... all 20 names were read out.
Those whose names were called were all overjoyed.
Those whose names weren't called were all extremely disappointed.
Xiao Yu looked everyone over and spoke again: "First of all, I want to congratulate you on being chosen. I will personally forge weapons and armor for you. Secondly... the little herbalist has already prepared enhancement potions, and the first batch of special forces members can experience them for free!"
boom!
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise, instantly losing their composure.
After all... enhancement potions cost thousands of merit points, and tier 5 enhancement potions cost tens of thousands!
The first batch of special operations team members were increasingly surprised and even a little proud.
Those who were not chosen all clenched their fists, their faces filled with resentment.
I felt a pang of regret; if only I had run an extra 100 kilometers and done an extra 1,000 push-ups every day...
"Everyone, please be patient!"
Xiao Yu took in everyone's expressions, raised his hand to signal them to calm down: "Tonight is another full moon night! And since we are in the wilderness, we are bound to encounter beast tides. I will consider adding anyone who performs exceptionally well tonight to the special forces team."
"A full moon night? Oh right! How could we forget?"
Perhaps because life in Dragon City is so safe, many people have forgotten that a month has already passed and the next full moon is just around the corner.
Although the earth dragon turtle's roar could intimidate most ferocious beasts.
But the beast tide on the night of the full moon is completely enraged and has no fear of the earth dragon turtle.
So... there will still be a big battle tonight.
Of course... with Dragon City's current strength, the beast tide poses almost no threat.
It can only be considered as giving the soldiers an opportunity to hone their combat skills.
"That's right! Tonight is our chance!" At this moment, everyone's hope was rekindled.
It's decided, I must fight desperately tonight to kill the ferocious beast.
When they returned to the city lord's mansion, it was already noon, and Xinglan had already prepared a meal and was waiting for them.
"Lord City Lord, the potions are ready." After finishing her meal, Xiao Cao approached Xiao Yu and said, "18 portions of second-tier enhancement potions, 8 portions of third-tier, 5 portions of fourth-tier, and only 3 portions of fifth-tier..."
As he spoke, he brought over several ceramic jars, which were filled with a rich medicinal aroma.
The method of preparing the enhancement potion is similar to the method of decocting Chinese medicine in my previous life.
A large amount of herbs can only be boiled down to a serving size for a few people.
The potions that Xiaocao has prepared now represent the sum of all the herbs in the entire Dragon City.
To brew new enhancement potions, we need to cultivate herbs on a large scale again.
Xiao Yu tasted the potion and sensed its energy, and then he roughly understood what it was.
These enhancement potions are even more effective than expected, three times more effective than ordinary enhancement potions!
"You did a great job!" Xiao Yu said with satisfaction. Seeing the dark circles under the girl's eyes, he immediately understood that she must have stayed up all night again, brewing herbs.
He couldn't help but reach out and pat the girl's head, saying, "You've worked hard these past few days! Go back and rest for a while."
Xiao Yu originally intended to use his Qi and blood to restore Xiao Cao's health.
But after thinking about it, I decided against it.
Rather than letting the girl recover immediately, it would be better to... help her develop the habit of getting proper rest.
"Hmm..." Xiaocao nodded in a voice barely audible, then walked out feeling dizzy and unsteady.
She thought to herself, "The city lord is so good to me, I must develop a sixth-tier enhancement drug as soon as possible!"
“Next, I should also fulfill my promise…” After having some free time, Xiao Yu went to the forge to forge weapons and armor for the archers.
According to his idea.
The newly selected archers were divided into two groups: one group guarded the outer city walls, and the other group guarded the inner city.
The archers guarding the outer city walls were all selected from among the blacksmiths, and were the most powerful.
Even the weakest of them has a strength of at least a thousand catties.
The strongest... even weighs two or three thousand jin!
They mainly stayed in the watchtowers above the city gates or in the arrow slits in the city walls.
Under normal circumstances, one would not encounter the enemy head-on.
However...they are the first line of defense for Dragon City, and are extremely important!
Therefore, Xiao Yu crafted Tier 4 armor for them, making them practically armed to the teeth.
The downside is that it moves a little slower.
The bow and arrow are 4th-tier quasi-divine weapons, with a greater emphasis on lethality.
The archers in the inner city, on the other hand, were much more agile and nimble.
The armor was rather thin, only protecting vital areas such as the head and chest.
The archers in the inner city are more like elven archers, favoring speed and accuracy.
If it were anyone else, it would take at least one or two months to forge so many high-level weapons and armor.
However, Xiao Yu finished almost everything in just one afternoon.
"As expected of something I crafted myself, its power and quality are absolutely top-notch!" After finishing crafting the weapon and armor, Xiao Yu carefully inspected it and felt very satisfied.
These weapons and armor were all made from extraterrestrial meteorite iron and materials from sixth-order ferocious beasts.
Although it cannot be forged into a fifth-tier divine weapon due to being too diluted and dispersed.
However... it is absolutely the best among all Tier 4 quasi-divine weapons.
