Chapter 150 The Special Team

Nie Yan glanced around. Gathered here were the best blacksmiths, mechanics, alchemists, and enchanters from the Ni Ren Tribe. In their respective fields, they were undisputed authorities.

"Today, I've called you all here because I have a mission to entrust to you," Nie Yan said in a clear voice, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces.

"Just tell us what the mission is, Boss Nie Yan. We'll do our utmost," the others responded one after another.

"Do you have any way to trap a Level 200 mutated lord?" Nie Yan asked.

Nie Yan's words immediately sparked a heated discussion among everyone.

"That's quite difficult. A Level 200 mutated lord won't just stand there and let us capture it," a mechanic said.

"If it's rendered unconscious, how confident are you?" Nie Yan asked. In his past life, someone had done something similar. In theory, at this level, it should be possible for grandmaster-level artisans to trap the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon. Nie Yan described the situation in the Fated Stream Valley, including the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon's size and magical specializations.

"Then it should be possible. As long as we put a cage on it, it won't be able to escape."

"This cage needs to be made with great care. It must be made of the highest-grade metal, and the thickness of each bar must be very carefully considered. After the cage is completed, enchanters must use magic arrays to reinforce it."

"We should have enough manpower. As for materials, Kloo Alloy should work. I don't think we can find a metal with better strength than Kloo Alloy, and it's relatively inexpensive. If the bars are as thick as an arm, no monster can shake it!"

"First, the mechanics should design a blueprint, designing the most solid structure. It's best to make it so the trapped Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon can't move, to prevent it from breaking free."

Everyone voiced their opinions, and the special conference room was bustling.

"Add some mithril to the Kloo Alloy, and it can ignore magical effects."

"But mithril is too expensive."

Everyone looked at Nie Yan.

"How much mithril do you need?" Nie Yan asked.

"If we want strong magic resistance, each cage will need about ten pounds on average. If we're thrifty, five or six pounds should achieve the desired effect."

"Our guild probably only has a little over thirty pounds in stock."

"Is there mithril for sale on the market?" Nie Yan asked. If the guild's stock wasn't enough, they could only turn to the market.

"There should be some, but it sells for as high as 60,000 gold coins per pound. Mithril is too rare. It's the most important magic-resistant material for forging. We usually only buy a little bit and can use it for a long time. The amount of mithril circulating on the market each day is probably only around one hundred pounds," a blacksmith said, as he was more familiar with the market situation.

Nie Yan pondered for a moment, then turned to Guo Huai, who was listening on the sidelines, and said, "Buy up all the mithril on the market."

"Okay," Guo Huai nodded, immediately sending messages to the players who were stationed at the various auction houses.

Hearing the conversation between Nie Yan and Guo Huai, everyone looked at each other in dismay. The blacksmith was also stunned. He was just explaining the situation, and Nie Yan wanted to sweep up all the mithril on the market. Buying up all the mithril would cost a full six million gold coins! And Nie Yan acted as if he were buying cabbage at the market, casually mentioning it. The executive guild leader didn't show any surprise at Nie Yan's decision, it seemed like they had done the same thing countless times.

In just three minutes, all the mithril in the major auction houses was sold out, not a single piece was left. Everyone browsed the transaction channels of the major auction houses and could no longer find anything mithril-related. On the production profession channel on the forums, many blacksmiths were already cursing, "Damn it, where did all the mithril in the auction house go!"

A single sentence could affect the entire market. Perhaps only Nie Yan had such power.

Five minutes later, all the mithril was brought to the special conference room, nearly one hundred pounds of mithril piled on the table.

"Tell me what materials you need. As long as it's available on the market, I can get it for you. Don't be stingy with the materials you need. This cage is very important. Design and build it as soon as possible. I need the first cage within a week," Nie Yan said.

"Boss Nie Yan, don't worry, we'll definitely complete the mission!"

Nie Yan explained some details, and the mission was assigned. The artisans quickly started working. The mechanics began designing blueprints, the blacksmiths and alchemists began forging and processing the metal, and the enchanters, who didn't need to do anything for the time being, went to research magic arrays, as they needed some of the best reinforcement magic arrays.

Over the next week, Nie Yan took a stroll on the battlefield. His appearance struck fear into the hearts of the Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group. During this time, at least tens of thousands of people died at Nie Yan's hands. The Angel Corps sent many top-tier players to assassinate Nie Yan, but they were all killed by Nie Yan without exception.

Nie Yan further provoked the nerves of the Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group. Nie Yan was too strong. His strength, equipment level, and so on, far exceeded the level of current players. If Nie Yan was allowed to be so arrogant, the Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group wouldn't be able to survive. They were even more eager to find a way to kill Nie Yan.

On the seventh day, good news finally came. Niao Bu Sheng Dan and the others had created the first potion of induced coma. They had put a lot of effort into creating this potion. So many grandmaster-level pharmacists collaborated with each other, using the theories they had researched. This highly toxic potion was of legendary grade and had to be drunk to take effect. In addition to inducing a coma, it also had effects such as weakness and petrification.

With the recipe and the raw materials provided by Nie Yan, they could produce it in large quantities, about three bottles per day, each bottle costing about 300,000 gold coins. This potion could be called the most expensive potion in history.

Nie Yan couldn't wait to see the effect.

In addition to the potion, the cage he had the artisans design and build was also nearing completion. The enchanters were busily engraving reinforcement magic arrays. Every part of the cage had to be engraved with reinforcement magic arrays, not a single point could be missed. This was a very detailed job that had to be done by three grandmaster-level enchanters, so it took a relatively long time. Nie Yan wasn't too critical about exceeding the time limit.

Nie Yan already had a complete plan in his mind. He sent messages to Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan, Xia Chong Yu Bing, and others, asking them to come quickly.

After a while, more than a dozen people gathered together, all of them mages with spatial magic.

"Boss Nie Yan, what do you need us for?" Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan asked.

"I have a mission for you later." Nie Yan said, describing his idea in detail.

Hearing that Nie Yan wanted to capture a Level 200 mutated lord-level Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon, Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan, Xia Chong Yu Bing, and others were stunned. This was a bit too crazy. No player had ever done anything similar, and most players probably wouldn't even dare to think about it!

"Boss Nie Yan, can this succeed?" Xia Chong Yu Bing couldn't help but ask, he seemed very cautious.

"Based on the current situation, there's an 80% chance of success," Nie Yan said. Everything was ready, and he would definitely not stop halfway. At most, it would fail, and so much investment would be wasted.

"Even if there's only a 10% chance of success, we have to try it, let alone an 80% chance of success!" Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan said excitedly. After all, what they were about to do was unprecedented.

After a while, Niao Bu Sheng Dan and the others brought two bottles of the induced coma potion. Two bottles of the induced coma potion should have some effect.

Nie Yan looked at Xia Chong Yu Bing and asked, "How's your Summon Arcane Colossus spell doing?"

"It's been upgraded to advanced. I can summon three at the same time."

"Are they superhumanly strong?" Nie Yan asked.

Hearing Nie Yan's question, Xia Chong Yu Bing was a little surprised. There were very few arcane mages who could summon arcane colossi. He was the only one in the entire Ni Ren Tribe who had been promoted to advanced. That skill was his trump card, and he never showed it easily. Only a few people like Nie Yan knew that he could summon arcane colossi. There was no introduction about arcane colossi on the official website. His skill had only just been upgraded to advanced a few days ago. How did Nie Yan know that the arcane colossus had the added state of superhuman strength after being upgraded to advanced? Even he himself didn't know what the specific effect of superhuman strength was.

Although he was very puzzled, Xia Chong Yu Bing nodded and said, "It does have the added state of superhuman strength."

"That's good." Nie Yan nodded with satisfaction. Everything was ready except for the opportunity. Once the cage was built, they could take action.

Nie Yan and the others headed toward the Fated Stream Valley together.

About half an hour later, the others landed near the spring.

Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan looked around and asked, "Is this the place?"

After receiving confirmation from Nie Yan, Xia Chong Yu Bing said, "The place is very open, which is suitable for our operation."

"Let's get to work," Nie Yan said. They were about to start setting up.

The mages quickly dispersed. At a distance of about thirty yards from the spring, they used alchemical materials, magic stones, and other items to set up a teleportation array. They worked for more than three hours before completing the task. This teleportation array was very large, five or six times larger than an ordinary teleportation array.

After a while, Yin Hui Zhi Ye came over from Dragon Cliff. He looked at the busy mages and guessed what method Nie Yan would use to capture the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon and whether it would work. He couldn't help but wait and see what would happen. If Nie Yan could really succeed, it would definitely be an epoch-making event that would have a profound impact on the course of Faith's history, and he happened to be one of the witnesses and participants, which would be a very honorable thing.
