Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 745: Chapter 292: Expert Level Talent, Repairing Mecha (7000)_2

He asked with a probing tone, “Lord, could you take me there?”

“As long as I can get there, I can return to the Southern Continent. By then, I will give you lots and lots of Crowns!”

“If Crowns are not wanted, there are all kinds of gold, silver, jewels, and manor beauties for you to choose from; I can even give you some powerful Goblin Technology!”

“As long as you make a request, I will find a way to satisfy you!”

This goblin said everything in one breath.

It could be said that he mentioned all the benefits he could think of.

With hopeful eyes, he looked at Cao Xing.

But Cao Xing heard it and shook his head, “I haven’t heard of the Nakrode Kingdom’s location, but I know that just crossing the Ice Crystal Kingdom will take at least a month.”

“I don’t have that much time to take you there.”

Hearing Cao Xing’s clear refusal, the goblin craftsman felt like the sky was falling.

“Earth Cave God, am I, Rock Richie, doomed to die in this dark and endless cave?”

“Or die in this desolate deep mountain?”

He held his head and cried bitterly.

Yet, the corner of Cao Xing’s mouth curved into an imperceptible smile.

He deliberately displayed a thoughtful expression.

Then, as if he had made some decision.

“How about this, let me give you a chance.”

Hearing this, the goblin stopped crying, looking at Cao Xing with a puzzled expression.

“What… chance?”

Cao Xing said directly, “I am a lord, and my territory is not far from here.”

“Next, work for me for a year, and after a year, I will find a way to send you directly back to the Southern Continent, how about that?”

Hearing this condition, the goblin craftsman’s eyes reignited with fire.

He had thought he was dead for sure, but this young man in front of him once again gave him hope!

A year was nothing; even though goblins didn’t live long, he could wait that long!

The goblin was even ready to agree on the spot.

However, being naturally suspicious.

He raised his head, cautiously asking, “Really, just work for you for a year, and you’re willing to send me back to the Southern Continent?”

Cao Xing chuckled and nodded.

To say a year was certainly to deceive him.

Cao Xing definitely wanted to keep this goblin craftsman in his territory to work.

After all, the territory was about to enter a new phase.

Moreover, with Tong Chuchu advancing to the sixth tier, they would gain two new mechanical blueprints.

By then, the territory could enter Mecha Bursting Soldiers Mode.

Having this expert-level goblin craftsman would save him a lot of time and materials.

So Cao Xing was just delaying, trying to keep him in the territory for now.

But who could say what would happen after a year.

Perhaps Cao Xing’s territory would have built a cross-continent teleportation array by then.

Returning would be a simple matter for this goblin.

Receiving Cao Xing’s affirmation, the goblin immediately teared up with joy.

He excitedly said, “This benevolent human lord, Goblin Craftsman, President of the Southern Commerce Association branch, Rock Richie is willing to serve you!”

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing immediately issued him a recruitment invitation.

[Recruitment Successful: Goblin Craftsman, Rock Richie has joined your territory, Territory Population +1…]

…

Seeing the system prompt, a smile appeared on Cao Xing’s lips.

Very good, very good.

Not only had they gathered numerous resources in this cave.

Now, they had brought back an expert-level craftsman-like talent.

Cao Xing felt very satisfied.

Now, it was time to repair that [Earth Dragon Mecha].

“Let’s go, tidy yourself up, and come with us.”

After speaking, Cao Xing casually took out a set of clothes from his backpack and tossed it to him.

The goblin craftsman naturally saw his current disheveled situation.

With his pants soaked and his body reeking of a sour stench.

He lowered his head in embarrassment, waiting for everyone to leave before quickly changing.

Assam and the others followed behind Cao Xing as they walked out of the warehouse.

As soon as they exited, a system prompt appeared.

[Your territory member: Eliza has successfully transformed and become a fourth-order leader-level creature, basic attributes increased by 30%, and learned new skill: Cold Wind Banquet]

[Cold Wind Banquet: Condense a large amount of frost ice element to its limit, the next 5 attacks will have arrow-infused cold wind power, dealing 147% tearing damage to enemies in a line, Skill cooldown: 90 seconds]

…

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing was immediately delighted.

“Haha, Eliza succeeded, this new skill is excellent!”

Enemies in a line essentially meant 100% penetration effect, which could be viewed as another kind of group attack skill.

It directly compensated for the archers’ weakness of insufficient group attack damage.

Meanwhile, Eliza and Renice approached together.

One woman was full of joy, and the other slightly dejected.

“Lord, I succeeded!”

“I failed…”

Cao Xing, not having received any system prompts for Renice, naturally knew the outcome.

He comforted the woman, “It’s okay, Sarah and the others succeeded three times in a row before you; it’s normal for you to fail this time.”

“Don’t lose heart, succeed in the breakthrough next time.”

The Ascalon Archer gently nodded, her eyes showing gratitude.

Beside her, Eliza glared with her azure eyes, seemingly expecting Cao Xing’s praise.
