Itâs hard to imagine what kind of benefit this can bring him in the long run!
After the transaction was completed, Jes had someone bring down a package from the cart and handed it to Cao Xing.
"Lord Cao Xing, these are Gwenethâs personal belongings."
"There are some books she usually reads and her clothes and such."
"Since sheâs joined your territory, you can pass these things on to her."
Cao Xing took it and felt its heaviness in his hands.
Inside the package, there seemed to be at least dozens of books.
After a pause, Jes said, "By the way, please convey this message for me."
"Although Gweneth canât sing anymore, my friendship with her father remains. She can return to Merlin City anytime she wishes."
Cao Xing took it, then said, "I understand, I will pass it on to her."
The businessman nodded again and glanced at the sky.
"Itâs getting late, we need to head to the next stop before nightfall."
"Lord Cao Xing, weâll meet again next time."
Cao Xing nodded, "Alright, see you next time."
After speaking, Jes returned to the caravan.
Then, with more than ten carts, they left the territory all the way.
...
...
After the caravan left, Cao Xing couldnât wait to look at the attributes of the three things he had just traded for.
[Corrosion Tower Construction Blueprint (gold)]
[Blueprint Introduction: Can construct a corrosion arrow tower within the territory, arrows reduce enemy armor upon hit.]
[Attack Power: 1745~1833 (100% chance to reduce enemy armor by 100 points, up to 10 stacks)]

[Construction materials required: Level 16 Big Melting Furnace, Wood*10,000, Stone*5000, Iron*2000, Mithril*200, Advanced Elemental Crystals*20]
...
After reading the blueprintâs attributes, Cao Xing was full of admiration!
"This thing is quite formidable!"
Although the Corrosion Arrow Towerâs attack isnât high, only over a thousand.
However, the most important thing about this tower is its ability to reduce armor.
Up to 10 stacks, totaling a whopping 1000 armor reduction, itâs quite abnormal.
Cao Xing put it away contentedly in his backpack and then checked the second blueprint.
[Frost Bomb Catapult Construction Blueprint (orange)]
[Blueprint Introduction: Can create a catapult that automatically condenses frost bombs, causing widespread frozen damage to the enemy]
[Attack Power: 34912~35732 (no need to reload ammunition, automatically condenses a frost bomb every 5 seconds)]

...
"Wow... automatically condenses frost bombs, isnât this equivalent to an infinite ammo version of the catapult?"
"Moreover, this thing has over 30,000 attack power and itâs area attack!"
"If I build a few thousand of these, who the hell would dare to attack my territory?"
Of course, itâs quite difficult to build so many catapults.
The materials needed are way too much, building just one could bankrupt a typical survivor.
Even Cao Xing himself couldnât produce on a large scale.
However, he could still produce a few.
Thinking to himself: "Recently, Rock has been focusing on making robots, probably wonât have time for these catapults."
"Luckily, I donât have enough materials right now either, Iâll let him make some after the robot army is formed."
He had already planned his next steps in his mind.
Next, it was the last item.
[Curse Destiny Pearl (gold)]
[Quality: Treasure]
[Tool Effect: Upon use on a creature, reduces their Luck Value by 100 points for the next 24 hours]
...
