Chapter 1 Skill Books

These skill books were categorized one by one. Nie Yan glanced at the thief skill books. He had already learned many powerful skills, so he wasn't too surprised to see these thief skill books. However, three skill books still surprised him. All were free skills. One was Counter, which allowed him to evade an opponent's attack through body movements, then elbow strike the opponent, crippling them. Another was Sudden Strike, which allowed him to suddenly accelerate and pounce, stunning the opponent. The last was Spine Break, which attacked the opponent's spine, crippling them.

Two crippling skills and one stunning skill were all considered pretty good control skills. Nie Yan was just lacking control skills!

Thieves don't have absolute power like warriors and mages. Warriors and mages compete with equipment. Warriors and mages with good equipment and high levels can completely suppress warriors and mages with bad equipment and low levels. Only a few with exceptional skills or luck can turn the tide. Thieves, on the other hand, compete with awareness, technique, and skills. Awareness and technique combined with skills, if used well, can kill players with equipment several times better. Thieves with poor awareness and technique, no matter how good their equipment, are useless.

With these skills, and if he used them proficiently, Nie Yan could kill other players of the same level even if he was naked.

After learning all these skills, Nie Yan sent a message to Guo Huai, asking him to send a few people over to help him distribute the remaining skill books.

The top players of the Niu Ren Tribe divided up all the good skill books, and some of the more ordinary skill books were thrown into the guild warehouse.

There were still a large number of scrolls, recipes, gems, and special items left. Nie Yan looked at the stack of recipes next to him and counted them. There were about one hundred and fifty, most of which were advanced, master, and grandmaster level recipes, as well as some alchemy, enchanting, and other recipes.

"There are fifteen advanced instant recovery potions and seven advanced instant mana recovery potions." Tang Yao counted. Advanced instant recovery potions and advanced instant mana recovery potions were very rare at the moment. As the players' total health and mana increased, their demand for advanced instant recovery potions and advanced instant mana recovery potions had become increasingly large.

Players usually wouldn't be willing to use such expensive potions when grinding monsters, but they would use them when running dungeons. Advanced instant recovery potions and advanced instant mana recovery potions allowed them to gain more sustained combat power, thereby increasing the team's survival rate. Therefore, advanced instant recovery potions and advanced instant mana recovery potions had a good market, and because of their scarcity, their prices were relatively high.

Nie Yan looked at it. In addition to these advanced instant recovery potion and advanced instant mana recovery potion recipes, there were many good things in this pile of recipes, such as master level antidote potion recipes, master level fire resistance potions, master level ice resistance potions, and so on. Good things were abundant.

Nie Yan called Niao Bu Sheng Dan over.

Niao Bu Sheng Dan walked into the laboratory and was stunned when he saw the piles of scrolls, gems, and recipes on the table. Had Nie Yan robbed an NPC shop? How else could he get so many good things?

"Boss, what did you call me here for?" Niao Bu Sheng Dan asked, his eyes fixed on Nie Yan's hand, unable to move away. He was an advanced alchemist, only a little away from being a master alchemist. Naturally, he knew what Nie Yan was holding in his hand. His heart trembled. The stack of recipes in Nie Yan's hand was so high, at least more than a hundred.

"Give these things to the production class below," Nie Yan said, handing the stack of things to Niao Bu Sheng Dan.

Niao Bu Sheng Dan carefully took the recipes from Nie Yan's hand. Seeing the names of these recipes—fifteen advanced instant recovery potion recipes, seven advanced instant mana recovery potion recipes, master level fire resistance potions, master level ice resistance, master level antidote... all were super-grade items, he couldn't help but feel dizzy. Good heavens, so many recipes! Where did these things come from?

"How is the Xingkong Pharmacy doing? Has anyone been promoted to master level?" Nie Yan asked. He usually didn't ask about the affairs of the Xingkong Pharmacy. As for the bills, Guo Huai would have someone check them regularly. He had always been very confident in Niao Bu Sheng Dan's work, because when he recruited Niao Bu Sheng Dan, Niao Bu Sheng Dan was still a penniless poor boy. Niao Bu Sheng Dan had always been grateful to Nie Yan and wanted to repay him.

"Di Diao De Nan Nan just yesterday was promoted to master alchemist. In addition, there are nearly sixty advanced alchemists about to break through. With these recipes, more advanced alchemists and master alchemists will definitely be born in a while," Niao Bu Sheng Dan said seriously. If it weren't for the cross-level recipes that Nie Yan had found before, it would have been impossible for Xingkong Pharmacy to have so many advanced alchemists now. Nie Yan played a decisive role in the growth of Xingkong Pharmacy. This time, the number of recipes was extremely large, and they were all cross-level recipes, so the help they would provide was even greater.

Nie Yan smiled and said, "Quickly use these recipes to cultivate more advanced alchemists and master alchemists. Don't waste them."

These alchemists themselves had very good talent. Coupled with the large number of advanced recipes provided by Nie Yan and the continuous supply of raw materials provided by the Niu Ren Tribe, it was only natural that they had achieved such results.

In addition to the alchemist industry, other industries in the Niu Ren Tribe were also expanding rapidly and had all been incorporated into the production class guild. Currently, the production class guild could be said to be at its peak.

Niao Bu Sheng Dan took these recipes and went to distribute them to the various alchemists, making effective use of these resources. Xingkong Pharmacy would be able to take off again, leaving the alchemists of other guilds far behind. The remaining alchemy recipes, enchanting recipes, and so on, could also play a good role.

After dealing with the recipes, Nie Yan looked at the remaining scrolls. There were all kinds of advanced scrolls, Shadow Shackles, Radiance, Flame Impact, Holy Guardian, Vine Entanglement, Doomsday Judgment, and so on, totaling more than one hundred and seventy.

"Take some scrolls and keep them for self-defense," Nie Yan said. He had never been stingy with his own people.

"Okay." Tang Yao nodded, selecting more than thirty scrolls that he could use.

Nie Yan also picked more than fifty. He chose two types, one was scrolls for ambushing people, such as Shadow Shackles, Vine Entanglement, and so on, and the other was group attack magic scrolls. These things were all one-time consumables.

He thought of Ying Sha. With these scrolls, if he encountered Ying Sha again next time, Ying Sha would suffer. Not just Ying Sha, basically, if Nie Yan wanted to ambush someone with scrolls, the opponent wouldn't be able to escape.

"Give the rest to Dao Guang and the others. They should be able to use them when they run dungeons," Nie Yan said. There were still more than ninety left. If so many scrolls were thrown on the market, they could definitely sell for a good price, but they weren't short of money. It was better to give them to the guild's elite team to play a greater role.

After dealing with the scrolls, there were still a large number of gems and props left on the table. There were about two or three hundred gems alone, but there were fewer rare ones. Nie Yan searched and pulled out six Glorious Gems from the pile of gems. He could use them to upgrade the special item in his hand. He was about to check the remaining gems one by one when he heard Tang Yao exclaim in surprise and ask in confusion, "Nie Yan, look, what are these two pieces of equipment?"

Between Tang Yao's fingers hung two exquisite white necklaces, very finely crafted. At a glance, they were the work of a master craftsman. The pendant below was a silver ring in the shape of a moon, made of bright silver. Under the illumination of the white magic lamp in the laboratory, it refracted dazzling white light.

"One is Agility +3, one is Elemental Attraction +1. What are these attributes? The names of these two necklaces are the same, but the attributes are a little different." Tang Yao was a little surprised. These things were very rare. It was the first time he had seen them.

"These are production class attributes. Let me take a look," Nie Yan said, taking the two white necklaces from Tang Yao's hand. When he saw the names of these two necklaces, his heart couldn't help but tremble, because the two necklaces clearly showed that they were Moonlit Silver Necklaces.

"So they're production class items. No wonder!" Tang Yao suddenly realized. He had been focused on grinding monsters and leveling up, lest he be overtaken by those behind him. He had little contact with production class items, so he didn't know much about them.

Nie Yan remembered the words of the master gem craftsman Pegyt when he used the Glorious Gems to upgrade special items: as long as he collected Dreamy Azure Gems, Fiery Scarlet Gems, Emerald Green Gems, and any Moonlit Silver Necklace, he could use Pandora's Box to combine these items into a Necklace of Wishes.

These two necklaces were Moonlit Silver Necklaces, which could increase the attributes of production class players.

Dreamy Azure Gems, Fiery Scarlet Gems, and Emerald Green Gems? Nie Yan's heart stirred. He quickly pushed aside the pile of gems next to him and searched.

Seeing Nie Yan rummaging through these gems, Tang Yao asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Help me find out if there are any Dreamy Azure Gems, Fiery Scarlet Gems, and Emerald Green Gems," Nie Yan said. He rummaged through it. So many gems were placed together, dazzling and eye-catching. It was really not easy to find such a few gems.

After searching for a few minutes, Nie Yan's eyes locked on a red gem among the many gems. It was a regular rhombus, and the center was a mass of crimson, like a blazing flame, shining brightly.

It was a Fiery Scarlet Gem!

Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat. He took out this gem and checked its attributes. It was indeed it!

He put the Fiery Scarlet Gem aside and continued to search. Since he could find the Fiery Scarlet Gem, maybe he could also find the Dreamy Azure Gem and the Emerald Green Gem!
