“That’s the case,” Su Yu politely explained, “I came to see you because I want to buy the blueprint for the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] from you. I hope you could sell it to me.”
“[Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]?” The Dwarf Master’s brow furrowed deeper: “This is my proudest collection over the years, even if the guardian god sent you, I can’t ”
“I can pay a high price!”
“It’s not about the money ”
“10 million spiritual energy coins!”
“I already said it’s not about the money, even if you offered a hundred million, I wouldn’t easily hand it over to you,” said the Dwarf Master, unperturbed and not swayed by the large sum of spiritual energy coins.
“Then what do you want?” Su Yu asked patiently, “If you want to exchange equal value items, I have the blueprints for the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] spectacle.”
“Oh? [Terracotta Army]?” The Dwarf Master’s eyes brightened, evidently interested.
“Yes, it’s the [Pandaman Terracotta Army].”
Su Yu opened his bag to take out the blueprints.
But after opening the bag, he found it was completely empty, with nothing inside.
Su Yu then remembered that when he emptied his bag earlier for transportation of the offerings, he had left the [Terracotta Army] blueprint in the town hall.
The old dwarf stroked his chin and thoughtfully said: “The [Pandaman Terracotta Army] must be some new odd building of the Pandamen Empire Well! You pass some of my tests, and I’ll exchange the blueprint with you.”
“Ding, congratulations for triggering the epic hidden mission [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]. Do you accept?”
“Accept.”
“Ding, mission accepted, Epic Hidden Mission [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (1/20)].”
“Mission request: Clear single-player dungeon [Fairy Tale Kingdom lv28], eliminate bosses [Pony Paulie], [Lamb Shaun], [Peppa Pig], [Little Bunny], acquire [Brilliant Wisdom Crystal (Epic)] X4.”
After accepting the mission, Su Yu glanced at Mosangrik Iron Tongs, didn’t think that this hairy dwarf uncle is quite childish!
“Tina, you wait here for a bit, I’ll be back soon!” Su Yu said to Tina beside him.
“Okay.” Tina, who was appreciating the master craftsman’s handmade artwork, nodded in response.
In the following four hours, Su Yu successfully accomplished the 20 round hidden mission given by the Dwarf Master.
The content of these 20 rounds of missions was very rich, including dungeon rushing, killing field monsters, solving puzzles, finding people, collecting materials, and more, some of them even tested knowledge related to ancient architecture:
“What does ‘Brackets’ mean?”
“What is ‘Golden Box Bottom Trough’?”
“What are the commonly used column styles in large buildings within the Goldfinch Empire?”
With his gaming skills and the “off-court help” from relevant departments, Su Yu barely passed these rounds of architectural knowledge tasks.
In the last round of the mission, Su Yu specially went back to the territory to fetch the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] blueprint to Pearl City, only then he finally got the blueprint for the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests].
[Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (Spectacle)]
Blueprint
Building required territory scale: Medium Village
Materials required for construction: wood 1000 units, stone 1000 units, gold 1000 units
Building effect: Gain the [Wind Calls Rain Orderly] buff for the territory through offering sacrifices.
Remark: The single man is commissioned by heaven, whose life extends over many an age.
The properties of [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] overlap with those of [Yulon], but when put together, they can have a superimposed effect.
In the medium village level territory, only one spectacle can be built, and another spectacle can be built every time the scale is upgraded. Once the scale is upgraded to [City], two more spectacles can be built every time it is upgraded.
Of course, the first spectacle in Su Yu’s village would be [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests], and he would gradually deal with more spectacles later.
The Dwarf Master took the blueprint of the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] curiously and opened it for a look.
But after just a few glances, his face gradually showed disappointment.
He looked up at Su Yu, his eyes full of deep regret: “Hey, kid, I think I’ve been cheated!”
“How were you cheated? The blueprint I gave you is not fake.”
“I didn’t say it was a fake blueprint But this kind of blueprint doesn’t have any architectural artistry. It’s just some carvings. It’s of no use to me.”
Mosangrik Iron Tongs laid the blueprint out on the table, showing a pained expression.
The old dwarf was passionate about architectural craftsmanship, especially the architectural craftsmanship of the Eastern Pandamen Empire.
He regarded the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] blueprint as a heavenly treasure after obtaining it and always considered it the most valuable collection he had.
The old dwarf didn’t know what the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] was and thought it would be just like the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests], containing complex architectural techniques. To broaden his horizon, he agreed to exchange blueprints with Su Yu.
But he never expected, the [Terracotta Army] blueprint was all about sculpting techniques.
As he was not interested in sculpting techniques, he was naturally very disappointed.
Su Yu had already put the blueprint for the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] in his bag and smiled when he heard the old dwarf: “Your regret is useless, the exchange is already completed.”
“Ah!” The Dwarf Master let out a sigh, filled with regret.
“Then how about this!” Su Yu suddenly thought of something, and his eyes turned: “Since you’re not interested in the [Pandaman Terracotta Army], why don’t you sell me the blueprint? I can offer ten million spiritual energy coins.”
Hearing Su Yu’s offer, Mosangrik Iron Tongs nodded slightly, also thinking of selling the blueprint.
But he would certainly raise the price before selling: “Ten million? Let me tell you, this thing is worth more than ten million ”
“You’re right, it’s not worth ten million.” Su Yu went on with his words: “Six million should be about right, thank you for reminding me!”
Saying that, Su Yu even flashed him a simple smile.
“Six million?!” The old dwarf felt like his heart disease was about to strike.
He was shouting in his heart: “I said it’s ‘worth more’, not ‘worth less’, are you young people deaf? Are you trying to kill this old man with anxiety?”
He clenched his fists, even wanting to punch Su Yu.
But Su Yu pretended not to know his thoughts, and continued: “Six million is also too much? Then let’s say four million. This should be the true worth of this blueprint. Uncle dwarf, we have a deal for four million!”
“Forget it forget it.” The old dwarf’s face was as black as ink: “Eight million, final offer, sold to you.”
Yet, Su Yu firmly held out five fingers: “Five million! This is my last offer, sell if you will, if not, Tina and I will leave immediately.”
Old Dwarf: ” ”
In the end, Su Yu successfully bought the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] blueprint again at the price of five million spiritual energy coins.
This trip to Pearl City had therefore come to a temporary end.
