Chapter 191: Purchasing Resources

After making an agreement with Tully, Lorne opened the Gnome Shop page and continued choosing materials.

A portion of the buildings in the Cold Desolate Dragon City had fused with the mountain. If he wanted to restore the city, he had to dig up the mountain range.

Therefore, Lorne chose five high-level mining robots.

Mining robots had very powerful excavation abilities and could be excavators in the mountain range.

There were also a few other robots with other functions.

Because it had been lost for more than ten thousand years, the Cold Desolate Dragon City was overgrown with plants like weeds, moss, and other things. These robots could help clean up the place.

It was originally cheaper to use manual cleaning, but the Cold Desolate Dragon City could not be discovered by the outside world for the time being. Therefore, it was necessary to purchase these robots.

At the very least, they would not leak the information.

After buying the robots, he also had to buy the accompanying “Magic Crystal”. This was the core of the robot’s energy source. The usage of the robot depended on the energy it was provided.

This thing was not cheap either. One cost 100 gold coins. It could support a robot to work for 100 hours.

Lorne ordered 100.

Then, he opened the [Blueprint for the Construction of the Cold Desolate Dragon City] and searched for the blueprint for the teleportation magic circle.

If he wanted the main city to be useful, he had to have a teleportation array, especially in the Cold Desolate Dragon City.

This city was near the Lake of Death and was more than four days away from Iron Skull City. Without the teleportation circle, no player would be willing to go there.

Without players, he would not be able to earn money. This was not the result that Lorne wanted.

However, Lorne encountered a huge problem.

The materials to build this ancient magic circle were very rare, and they were all extremely precious materials. It was impossible to find those ancient materials in the shop of the Gnome Branch.

Fortunately, there were alternatives.

Although using substitutes would affect the strength of the teleportation circle, in this situation, he could not care less. First, he had to build a magic circle that could teleport back and forth. Otherwise, the repair work in the city would not even be known.

“100 Space Gems!”

“300 Energy Crystals!”

“1,000 Five-Colored Ores!”

“3 Advanced Space Magic Circles!”

“1 Location Setting Magic Circle!”

“…”

Lorne gathered all the materials he needed and bought a few more sets, just in case.

In addition, he needed to buy other items, such as clay, rocks, and other materials for repair.

Finally, Lorne stopped at the weapon option.

Gnomes were good at mechanical construction. Almost 50% of the magic cannons were created by them, so they had a very mature industrial system and product style.

However, these things were really expensive.

In fact, in “Divine Realm”, any tool related to machinery was very expensive, and those related to magic tools were even more expensive.

As for magic cannons, they were a combination of machinery and magic. The price was terrifying.

Moreover, all high-grade magic cannons needed to be specially customized and provided high-grade ores to create.

Therefore, on this page, there was no available magic cannon that interested Lorne. He had to place an order before they would start making them.

After some thought, Lorne gave up.

In fact, heavy defense weapons like magic cannons were what the current Cold Desolate Dragon City needed the most.

In the past, because the soldiers in the city were all powerful dragons, Cold Desolate Dragon City was almost not equipped with any defensive weapons.

But if Lorne turned it into his territory, the city defense weapons would be necessary.

Unfortunately, the range of the Cold Desolate Dragon City was too large. If he wanted to set it up now, the amount of money spent would be an astronomical figure that was definitely not something that Lorne could afford.

Therefore, Lorne could only give up on this matter for the time being. He would consider all matters regarding the city defense after he completely turned Cold Desolate Dragon City into his own territory.

In any case, Cold Desolate Dragon City was still within the range of Iron Skull City. Moreover, with the help of the One-Eyed Giant Snake, the Dark Faction should not be able to start a large-scale war. Therefore, he still had time to develop.

…

“Warrior, the total price of these materials that you have chosen is one Dragon Crystal and 600,000 reputation points. Since you are a top customer, we will give you a 20% discount for the high-grade materials, which comes up to one Dragon Crystal and 480,000 reputation points!” Tully said.

Indeed, Lorne still had to spend money to buy supplies. After all, Tully was still the manager of the Gnome Mineral Company, and he had to be responsible for his own work.

He had not expected that with just a few words, the other party would give him so many resources.

However, when he heard the price in the picture, Lorne was stunned.

The currency for this purchase was not gold coins, but Gnome Reputation!

“Damn!!!”

What was going on?

Lorne was stunned.

When he recovered, he checked carefully and realized that he had forgotten to check the price units of these goods.

In the Gnome Shop, medium and lower goods were calculated with gold coins.

However, in the high-level shops, the calculation units for all the goods were Gnome Reputation Points!

Lorne frowned.

He could not help but look at his Gnome Reputation and realized that it was only 3150 points.

This pitiful reputation points were given by the system because of his conversation with Tully.

Therefore, this was a little awkward.

How could he pay without the Gnome Reputation?

Did he have to pay on credit?

Lorne did not feel that he was so shameless that the other party would directly give him a huge amount of resources worth 600,000 reputation points.

As for not wanting these materials?

That would not do.

After all, he had previously said that he wanted all the gnomes to join his main city, but now, he could not even afford these resources. Wouldn’t that be a loss of reputation as the “City Lord”? How could he raise his dignity in front of the other party in the future?

While Lorne was thinking, Tully took the initiative to say, “Adventurer, you should not have much Gnome Reputation, but it’s okay. You can use other rare materials to exchange for them. For example, a Dragon Crystal is enough to deduct all these resources.”

“Dragon Crystal? No, I don’t have many.”

In fact, Lorne did have a dragon crystal on him, but he did not want to use it to buy these materials. If he wanted to get items not for sale in the future, he would have to rely on it.

“Of course, but the rarer the material, the more reputation points will be deducted.”

“That’s not a problem. My materials are the rarest.”

Lorne was immediately excited, for there were indeed a lot of special materials in his bag.
