The rune crystal in front of me is called the cornerstone, and it has quite magical abilities.
It can be used as a basis to build a building out of thin air, and it can also be continuously strengthened and upgraded.
By paying the corresponding price, you can also trade with the Cornerstone platform in exchange for various materials.
The more wealth you provide, the higher-grade materials you receive in exchange, and some items can even destroy the world.
After sorting out the information in his mind, Tang Zhen felt extremely shocked and wondered if he was hallucinating.
Does such a heaven-defying ability really exist in the world?
But everything in front of me is so real that there is no room for doubt.
"Whether it's true or not, you just have to try it!"
Tang Zhen made up his mind and quickly climbed out of the secret room and went to the place where he hid his money.
Opening a box, there were more than twenty silver ingots hidden inside, each of which weighed twelve ounces.
After hurriedly returning with the silver, Tang Zhen activated the cornerstone platform, and the surrounding scene changed instantly.
As if in the blink of an eye, I arrived at a mysterious shopping mall.
There are various items placed around, which can be picked up and viewed at any time, and corresponding information will be displayed.
Not only is it 100% restored, but it also has texture and touch, which is no different from holding the real thing.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Zhen looked happy. He didn't expect that this cornerstone platform was so powerful.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tang Zhen checked the items that could be redeemed.
In the shopping mall on the cornerstone platform, he can purchase various supplies, including not only daily necessities, but also various weapons and equipment.
There are swords forged from fine steel, strong bows and crossbows, and firearms that can fire projectiles.
There are even artillery pieces, which are black and thick in appearance and look very powerful.
A variety of armors with powerful and thick shapes.
Seeing these armor weapons, Tang Zhen frowned slightly, knowing that these were officially prohibited items.
If someone discovers it, he will definitely get into trouble.
Although these equipments are excellent, they cannot be revealed easily, otherwise it may lead to death.
However, Tang Zhen also heard that there was a war breaking out outside, and he was afraid that the war would spread soon.
Once war breaks out, banditry will inevitably be rampant, and laws and regulations will lose their restrictive effect.
In order to protect everyone's lives, it is indeed necessary to make some preparations in advance.
Tang Zhen is not in a hurry to buy, but is prepared to take a look first before making a decision. He will not rush to make a decision before fully understanding it.
Soon, another piece of jade plaque appeared in front of his eyes, displaying various characters on it.
These are skill jade tokens. As long as they are purchased and activated, you can obtain the corresponding abilities.
Tang Zhen was more interested in skill jade tokens than those equipment materials.
To master an ability requires a long time and energy, and proficiency will also be affected by factors such as talent.
There is no end to learning, and hard work leads to excellence. This is a truth that everyone knows.
But this kind of skill jade tablet completely breaks the rules. You only need to pay a certain amount of wealth to obtain perfect skills.
With excitement and curiosity, Tang Zhen searched carefully and found that the number of skill jade tokens was overwhelming.
There were so many skills that he had never heard of, and he didn't even have the permission to view them.
You must advance to a certain level or meet certain conditions before you are eligible to view and purchase.
It was obviously telling Tang Zhen that everything should be done step by step and never be rushed.
Tang Zhen was indeed not in a hurry, and even had a calmness far beyond his age, like an old man who had experienced vicissitudes of life.
Just before today, he was not like this, but as soon as he woke up, he was completely transformed.
Tang Zhen was actually very curious about the abnormality in his body, but he couldn't figure out the real reason.
After rummaging through the skill jade tokens, Tang Zhen chose the product he wanted.
A set of self-protection techniques, called Gangqi Iron Cloth Shirt, can enhance one's own protective power.
It can't be hurt by a knife, can't be penetrated by an arrow, and its life-saving ability is top-notch.
A set of boxing techniques for close combat, the name is Bone Crushing Fist. The punch is so powerful that it can break bones and tendons when hitting the body.
These two sets of martial arts skills require two hundred taels of silver, which is absolutely sky-high price for ordinary villagers, and they will probably secretly curse them as a prodigal.
Their annual expenses are only ten taels of silver.
If you have such an idea, you don't understand the value of the exercises, otherwise you will have to buy a set if you want to sell them.
However, except for Tang Zhen, it is impossible for outsiders to have this opportunity.
Tang Zhen made this choice to protect himself because bandits were targeting his property.
Not long ago, bandits sent people to extort money, but they didn't get what they wanted.
Before leaving, he said that he would form a team to go down the mountain in the near future and wipe out the entire village with blood.
Because of this incident, everyone in the village was in danger and looked gloomy.
I reported it to the government, but there was no response, as if everything was lost in the ocean.
Now that the opportunity has come, the originally feared mountain bandits no longer seem so scary.
Tang Zhen pondered to himself and soon came up with a way to deal with it.
But before that, he still needs to test whether the skill jade token is really effective?
Decisively choosing to pay, two jade tablets appeared in front of people, containing a dazzling light.
"activation!"
The two skill jade tokens shattered and turned into light and flew into his body. Tang Zhen's body immediately changed.
The muscles, bones, flesh and blood swelled, and the body became taller, becoming more robust and steady.
The change was not only in appearance, Tang Zhen's breath became longer and his whole body seemed to contain infinite power.
He punched out fiercely, with a sound of breaking through the air.
"good!"
Feeling the changes in his body, Tang Zhen couldn't help but laugh.
The Skill Jade Card was indeed extraordinary, but in the blink of an eye, Tang Zhen mastered two sets of perfect level martial arts.
I have obviously become more confident in dealing with those bandits.
The excitement gradually disappeared, and Tang Zhen began to study the main functions of the cornerstone platform and think about how to build a building city.
Only by successfully establishing a building city will you have the ability to protect yourself and not be afraid of threats from the outside world.
To successfully build a city, you need a piece of land, a group of subordinates who belong to you, and a thousand taels of silver as a sacrifice.
Tang Zhen has land and money in his hands, but now he still lacks a group of subordinates.
Those villagers who are threatened by bandits and full of worry are obviously the best choice.
As long as Tang Zhen stands up and explains his interests to the villagers, they will definitely obey the instructions obediently.
Once the villagers join, all the required conditions will be met, and the building city can be successfully built.
In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, Tang Zhen decided to take action immediately.
Tang Zhen left the secret room, chose to automatically close the door, and jumped out of the gap in the secret passage without any effort.
After arriving at the front yard, Uncle Fu happened to lead people back. When they saw Tang Zhen standing in front of them, Uncle Fu and others were stunned on the spot.
However, in a short period of time, Tang Zhen grew taller and his aura also changed.
Originally it was just a calf, but now it feels like a fierce tiger, exuding a heart-trembling power.
"Master, are you okay?"
The old master of the family had just passed away, and the young master had undergone such a change, which really frightened the elderly Uncle Fu.
"I'm fine, no need to worry."
Tang Zhen showed a smile and spoke in a comforting tone. There seemed to be magic in his words, which really made everyone calm down.
"The bandits are coming soon. We must not sit still and wait for death. We must find ways to fight and protect ourselves.
If you believe me, go and call all the villagers together to discuss how to deal with the bandits.
If you don't want to, then you can only ask for your own good luck. If you are kidnapped and killed by bandits, you can only blame your own bad luck."
Several villagers froze on the spot, looked at each other, and quickly turned around and ran towards the village.
"Master, do you want to..."
Seeing this scene, Uncle Fu asked in a low voice, wondering what Tang Zhen was going to do.
"Don't worry, you'll find out later."
Tang Zhen chuckled and looked up at the sky, but his eyes were like abyss.
