I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 76

Chapter 76

“Hu.”

Fang Bai let out a long breath, adjusted his state to the best, and started a new round of drawing.

One Projection Spell, two Projection Spells… five Projection Spells.

Fireball Spell, first layer… Fireball Spell, second layer… Fireball Spell, third layer…

Everything went very smoothly; this time, Fang Bai’s “feel” was particularly good.

It’s going to work!

This thought popped into Fang Bai’s mind, but even though he thought of this, Fang Bai still didn’t show any change. There was a faint hint of joy, but no strong elation.

Fang Bai could already suppress his emotions and thoughts to a certain extent.

Mental Power is the most difficult to control. It directly connects to the mind, directly connects to every thought, moves with every thought. As soon as there are many thoughts, Mental Power will drift. Only when Fang Bai can calmly suppress emotions and thoughts can Mental Power methodically inscribe the Spell Model.

After all, the Spell Model was already extremely familiar, thoroughly understood. The only thing missing was this bit of state.

No accident happened, and this Fireball Spell Scroll was successfully completed.

The moment Fang Bai connected the last Spell Node, the fire element slowly circulated within the scroll paper. A planar Spell Model appeared on the originally white paper, profound and strange, and the whole paper also turned slightly red.

With a thought from Fang Bai, a Spell Model was projected in the air above the scroll paper. During the projection process, the originally compressed and flattened Spell Model returned to its three-dimensional form, operating in the air, gathering fire elements. In an instant, a fireball faintly formed.

With another thought, Fang Bai withdrew the projection. The elemental model inside the scroll was only enough to activate the Fireball Spell once. If used, the Spell Scroll would be consumed, and Fang Bai naturally wouldn’t be so wasteful.

“Finally succeeded with one.”

Fang Bai looked at this Spell Scroll, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

After carefully putting away this Fireball Spell Scroll, Fang Bai immediately continued drawing.

In addition to the Fireball Spell Scroll, Fang Bai also began to try making Water Shield Spell Scrolls and even Blood-red Shield Spell Scrolls.

Making Spell Scrolls had both successes and failures. After becoming proficient, Fang Bai could roughly achieve success with one out of every three scroll papers.

When all the Elemental Material powder was used up, Fang Bai had eight Fireball Spell Scrolls, four Water Shield Spell Scrolls, and two Blood-red Shield Spell Scrolls in his hands.

Besides these, there was a pile of failed drafts…

“That’s it?”

Fang Bai suddenly realized a problem: poor people are not worthy of being mages.

Mages are very strong after they are fully developed, but every step a mage takes is paved with an equivalent amount of gold.

No money?

Without money, you can’t even afford experimental materials.

And Fang Bai’s problem at this moment was not that he couldn’t afford experimental materials, but that he couldn’t buy them.

“Elemental Materials… So far, I’ve only found Elemental Materials on Spider Demons and other First-Order Magical Beasts.

Currently, I’m probably the only one in the entire Shen Shan Town area who has the strength to hunt First-Order Magical Beasts. Could it be that I have to go out and hunt them myself again?”

Fang Bai frowned. He was now at the most comfortable and best stage of researching Spell Architecture and learning Spell Scrolls. Now, to make Fang Bai go out and hunt First-Order Magical Beasts, collect materials, and then come back to continue his research?!

Hunt for a day, research for a day?

Fang Bai really wanted to curse, but at this moment, he suddenly had a brainwave and thought of something Wang Xiong had mentioned before.

“It seems that besides me, there are a few other groups who have been trying to hunt First-Order Magical Beasts using traps and vehicles, and it seems they’ve had some success.”

Fang Bai’s heart immediately stirred.

Fang Bai had heard Bai Qing and others talk about this matter, and he knew it very well.

The reason these people hunted First-Order Magical Beasts was to get the items needed to establish a Novice Village.

Because in their view, village-building items must be dropped by monsters. The more high-level monsters they killed, the more chances they had to get them. In fact, this was indeed the case.

“They must have some Elemental Materials in their hands, but what should I use to buy them?”

Fang Bai calmly thought it over and once again confirmed a fact.

He was very poor!

“The Novice Village hasn’t taken shape yet, the market has just been initially established, and there is still a series of infrastructure to be completed. It hasn’t reached the stage of generating income at all.

It will take a period of development to reach the level of earning a fortune every day.

Could it be that I surround the Job Change Sculpture and charge money for job changes?

But charging a small amount won’t help, and charging too much, once it arouses public anger, I’m afraid I’ll be directly reduced to ashes. I just got rid of Wu Lei.”

Fang Bai was very strong at the moment. Archers were already very strong, and mages were even stronger.

To be honest, if a fight really broke out, ordinary Job Changers would be crushed by Fang Bai.

But Fang Bai could defeat one Job Changer, just like instantly killing Wu Lei, it was no big deal. He could defeat ten as well, Fang Bai had complete confidence in this.

But as long as the number of people went up, there was no need for Job Changers. Just a thousand ordinary people could defeat Fang Bai. A thousand survivors who could be armed, could drive dump trucks, could drive bulldozers could directly flatten Fang Bai.

At most, Fang Bai could run away and then rely on his speed to harass them endlessly, but this way, his original foundation would be completely ruined.

The Novice Village still needed a certain amount of time to develop. It absolutely couldn’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, unless it was directly selling them shares, but Fang Bai wasn’t that stupid.

In the end, Fang Bai still set his sights on the Spell Scrolls. This was his only choice.

“Only sell Spell Scrolls.

Anyway, whether the Spell Scrolls can be used in front of me is just a matter of a thought. No matter how many I sell, it won’t pose any threat to me. So if I want to sell them, I only need to consider the price.

As for the pricing…”

Fang Bai, who realized that he was very poor, showed a smile that belonged to a street lamp.

“A monopoly business, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to sell them at a higher price, right?

Setting the price of a Spell Scroll at twenty times the cost of the required materials should be very conscientious, right? After all, I fail two to three times for every Spell Scroll I make.

And the profit they get from hunting a Spider Demon is enough to buy about five Spell Scrolls!”

At this moment, Fang Bai also realized another benefit. Continuously selling Spell Scrolls to the outside world could completely drive the existing teams to hunt First-Order Magical Beasts, which would lead to a continuous expansion of the output of Elemental Materials.

This was absolutely beneficial to him, and he could even accept lowering the selling price of Spell Scrolls a little for this purpose.

Fang Bai wanted to vigorously encourage other teams to hunt First-Order Magical Beasts, using the external sale of Spell Scrolls as an opportunity!

But just as Fang Bai was thinking, a dump truck appeared at the edge of Stone City and quickly drove towards Shen Shan Town.

There were seven or eight people in the truck. Some held bows, some held knives, some used shields, and some even held daggers. There were faint traces of black blood on their weapons that couldn’t be wiped off, and an aura of fierceness emanated from them.

The distance between them and Shen Shan Town was rapidly shortening…
