Chapter 1963 Hell Chariot

Holding the heavy ancient book, Shi Feng observed it with the Eye of All-Knowing. A loading bar appeared, indicating a reading time of ten seconds.

"Ten seconds?" Shi Feng watched the loading bar, his heart beating faster.

The longer the appraisal time, the higher the value of the item.

Like the war chariot design blueprints, they were also divided into levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, and Grandmaster. Each level was more valuable and had a greater effect than the last.

Even a Beginner war chariot already had the combat power to deal with Grand Lords. However, only a fool would use a Beginner war chariot to directly confront a Grand Lord. War chariots were truly formidable against players and in siege battles; using them against monsters was an extravagant waste.

Unlike other weapons and equipment, war chariots were similar to mana weapons, possessing powerful energy. Using them in combat would cause wear and tear, requiring repairs. Repairing a war chariot wasn't as simple as paying some gold coins. It required materials, and without them, repairs were impossible. If the durability reached zero, the chariot would be completely scrapped.

Using them to grind monsters would likely cost more in repair materials than the money earned from grinding. Moreover, these repair materials were rare and not easily obtained.

As the loading bar completed, the detailed attributes of the Hell Chariot Design Blueprint appeared before Shi Feng's eyes.

Hell Chariot Design Blueprint, Intermediate Design Blueprint, can create a Hell Chariot, maximum capacity of twenty people, movement speed 180%, durability 400/400, possesses Tier 2 defensive capabilities.

Skill 1: Magic Shield, constructs a Tier 3 magic barrier, can absorb up to two million points of damage, duration of twenty minutes, cooldown of ten minutes, each activation consumes twenty Magic Crystals.

Skill 2: Hellfire Cannon, deals Tier 3 destructive damage within a radius of 30 yards, range of 1500 yards, cooldown of fifteen seconds, each use consumes one hundred Magic Crystals.

Skill 3: Flame Lance, creates twelve Flame Lances, each with the power of a Tier 2 peak, attack range of 150 yards, cooldown of 3 seconds.

"What a powerful Hell Chariot," Shi Feng said, his eyes shining as he looked at the Hell Chariot's attribute information.

In his previous life, he had seen many Intermediate war chariots, but very few had attributes like the Hell Chariot. Ordinary Intermediate war chariots only had a durability of 300, and a movement speed of around 160%, equivalent to a Mysterious-Iron ranked mount. The Hell Chariot, however, reached 180%, equivalent to a Mithril-ranked mount.

But the most powerful aspect was its defensive capabilities. Normal Intermediate war chariots had Tier 2 magic barriers that could reduce 70% of Tier 2 damage and 40% of Tier 3 damage. A Tier 3 magic barrier was even more powerful, reducing 80% of Tier 2 damage, 70% of Tier 3 damage, and 40% of Tier 4 damage. With such defensive capabilities, even a Tier 4 Legendary monster couldn't destroy it in one hit.

The crafting requirements for the Hell Chariot weren't high, requiring only three Engineering Grandmasters and one Blacksmithing Grandmaster. The only difficulty was the primary material, Titan Ore. Just one chariot required five hundred pieces, and Titan Ore was an ultra-rare ore. Even in the Storm Empire, known for its mineral resources, the output was extremely low, as it was a primary material specifically used for crafting Epic-level equipment.

"It seems necessary to have Yu Youwei collect more Titan Ore," Shi Feng thought, looking at the Hell Chariot Design Blueprint, formulating a plan.

Three Engineering Grandmasters and one Blacksmithing Grandmaster weren't impossible for Candlelight Trading Firm to gather. The remaining issue was the materials. As long as the material problem could be solved, a large number of Hell Chariots could be produced.

With tools like the Hell Chariot, guild members could easily travel deep into other neutral maps to level up and explore, obtaining more resources without having to compete with other guilds for those closer maps.

War chariots weren't just war tools; they were also extremely powerful mobile tools, even better than mounts. Players resting inside a war chariot wouldn't consume any stamina or mental strength, and they also had a certain recovery ability, although the recovery effect was only half of that in a city.

Most importantly, they could carry simple repair tools, eliminating the need to go to a blacksmith to repair weapons and equipment. Repairs could be done directly inside the war chariot, although the repair price was very expensive, three times the price in the city, with no discounts. The amount of durability that could be repaired was also limited; Intermediate war chariots could carry simple repair tools that could repair a maximum of 10,000 points of durability. However, for expert teams where time was money, this was already a very good benefit.

Shi Feng carefully put away the Hell Chariot Design Blueprint and began to examine the first clear reward, the Hero's Key.

Hero's Key (Snowy Ruins), Dark-Gold rank item, can open the ancient teleportation magic array in the Snowy Ruins, can carry up to five hundred players to teleport to the other side of the magic array, cooldown of three natural days.

"As expected of a Hero-ranked first clear reward, even this thing is given," Shi Feng clicked his tongue slightly, looking at the attributes of the Hero's Key.

In any Otherworld, traveling between cities wasn't easy. Unlike the God's Domain Continent, where you could simply pay enough teleportation fees, in the Otherworld, cities needed to possess a certain number of travel permits to other cities before inter-city teleportation could be activated.

Before that, the only options were to farm Regional Guardian Bosses to obtain travel permits for the teleportation magic array, then run there, or use other hidden secret passages. There were no other ways to travel between two cities.

Just like now, after killing the Skeleton King, in addition to obtaining a large number of dropped items, the golden treasure chest on the main hall contained travel permits to activate the teleportation magic array. These travel permits were permanently bound upon use.

Killing the Skeleton King in Normal mode yielded one hundred to one hundred and fifty travel permits every seven days, while Heroic mode yielded two hundred to three hundred travel permits. However, the two modes shared a cooldown, so you couldn't farm Heroic and then Normal. You could only choose one.

But the Hero's Key could send five hundred players to another area at once, with a cooldown of only three days.

For guilds and adventurer teams that wanted to quickly gain a foothold in other cities in the early stages, especially for guilds, this was a small artifact.

"Guild Leader, we obtained a total of 265 travel permits from the golden treasure chest. What should we do with these permits?" Yan Ya asked, holding the travel permits taken from the golden treasure chest.

Currently, only they and Hecate in the entire Coldwind City possessed travel permits to other regions. These travel permits were bound upon use, meaning they could be sold or traded.

Being able to travel to other regions was a great opportunity for the players in Coldwind City, and many players would want to obtain travel permits, including the major guilds in Coldwind City.

If they put these travel permits up for sale now, they could definitely make a lot of money.

"Let's hold off for now. Our primary goal is to expand to other cities," Shi Feng shook his head and said to Yan Ya, "Immediately return to Coldwind City and gather experts and trusted management talents from the adventurer team who are willing to develop in other cities at the Residence. I'll head over after I finish my business."

The major guilds of the Black Dragon Empire were already on their way to the Icy Crystal World. To better acquire resources from the Icy Crystal World in the future, the Asura Adventurer Team needed to quickly establish a foothold in more cities in the Icy Crystal World. Otherwise, it would be difficult to gain a foothold by the time the major guilds of the Black Dragon Empire entered the cities of the Icy Crystal World.

After all, whether it was manpower or resources, the Asura Adventurer Team and Zero Wing Branch Guild were far behind.

"Develop in other cities?" Yan Ya's eyes lit up.

She was very curious about the other cities in the Icy Crystal World. Coldwind City was just a small city and not a major city in the Icy Crystal World.

Yan Ya followed Shi Feng's instructions and left the Snowy Ruins to gather expert players in the adventurer team, while Shi Feng headed to the City Hall of Coldwind City.
