World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 365

c365 Preparation before departure

The situation around Ratchet seems to be very good at the moment.

The once most threatening enemy, the Kokar Centaur, has been defeated by the tribe, leaving only the stragglers roaming around.

The Steel Bristle Boarmen on the Thorn Ridge in the north are still fighting among themselves. The boarmen, the Fangs and the Bad Noses, are fighting each other for the survival resources.

The Slippery Shell Lobstermen in the sea have long been eliminated, and even the Longshore Pirates that roam nearby have been incorporated.

In terms of garrison, there are three hydras in the guardian pool of Ratchet Town, and there is a Tethyr hidden on the bottom of the Ratchet Bay, so there is no need to worry too much.

So Yang Yi decided to go all out and take a large force to Mulgore.

The food and grass must be prepared before the troops move.

With the completion of the Frenzy Farm in Dustwallow Marsh, the harvested sludge grass began to be transported back to Ratchet Town by boatloads.

There is enough sludge grass, and Ratchet Town finally doesn’t have to worry about too many people starving, and can safely and boldly increase the population.

Solving the hunger problem that troubled the murlocs, the murlocs in Ratchet Town now have a higher pursuit – not only to eat enough, but also to eat well.

Although eating seaweed can relieve hunger, it is not nutritious. It is better to eat fish, meat and clams every meal.

At present, only a small number of murlocs in Ratchet Town can achieve such a high pursuit. They are the warriors and senior craftsmen in the town. The murloc laborers at the bottom can only continue to nibble on seaweed on weekdays, and occasionally change to eat potatoes or mushrooms. Only during festivals can they have a good meal.

No murloc laborers complained because being able to eat every day is a good day that the murlocs never dared to think about.

Yang Yi asked the old blind man to count the food in the warehouse, especially fish, meat, clams, etc.

The most important thing for marching and fighting is morale. For murlocs, eating is undoubtedly the most morale-boosting thing. So Yang Yi wants the murlocs who go out to fight to eat well.

As a result, after counting, there is almost no inventory, only the fish just caught today and a few baskets of pork jerky.

Fish, meat, clams and other meats are usually not enough to share, and there is not much left.

The fish in Thorntooth Town are mainly caught by murloc hunters with harpoons. This primitive fishing method has limited harvests, and fish is the favorite meat of murlocs, so there is not much fish meat stored in the warehouse.

The source of meat is one is the murloc hunters hunting wild beasts on Thorn Ridge, and the other is the wild boars raised in the Beast Valley. The harvest from hunting is unstable, so the meat in the warehouse is mainly wild boar.

All the clams come from shellfish farms, and there will be surplus only on the day of harvest. The tidal flats suitable for building farms in the Thorntooth Bay have been fully developed, and the current output is far from enough to make clams the staple food of murlocs.

The old blind man reported the situation to Yang Yi with an embarrassed look on his face. He felt guilty for not fulfilling his duties as the deputy mayor.

Yang Yi is a family member who knows his own business. With so many greedy murlocs in the town, how can there be much delicious food left. There are still some to be found in the warehouse, which are specially reserved for Yang Yi and his friends.

“It doesn’t matter, there is still some time before departure. Go and call the murloc in charge of the shellfish farm, ask how many clam shells can be collected, and immediately organize the murlocs to dig the shells. And the wild boars in the beast valley, kill all those that are almost full.”

The old blind man took the order and left.

Jagu, Brak, Magofen and Thief Eye also had their own tasks, either to dispatch fighting murlocs in the barracks, or to count weapons and equipment in the armory, or to prepare healing potions and first aid bandages and other supplies.

At Yang Yi’s order, everyone got busy. As the mayor of Ratchet Town, he could no longer be a hands-off boss at this time.

Yang Yi rode on the turtle mount and first ran to Greysu’s engineering workshop.

Expert dwarf engineer Greysu was banging away with a few murloc assistants who had just started their careers. They were making the secret weapon for this expedition – [Super Fireworks Cluster Launcher specially made by Dr. Vivier].

The sharp voice unique to dwarves came from the workshop. It was Greysu who was nagging and lecturing.

“Oh my God, you screwed up again, bang bang bang…”

“Blah blah blah, do you understand?”

Greysu was furious with these clumsy murloc assistants.

Seeing Yang Yi enter the workshop, Greysu immediately ran over and grabbed his hand.

“Boss, I want to fire these assistants, all of them!” Greysu was so angry that his face was distorted.

Yang Yi took a look and found that the murloc engineers assigned to Greysu as assistants were already the highest-level ones in the town.

“Use it for now. When the students of this year’s Tide Academy graduate, I will pick out a few excellent ones for you.” Yang Yi comforted Graysu, and then asked, “How is the progress of the fireworks cluster launcher? How many have been made?”

“Six have been completed during this period. If my assistant doesn’t mess up everything next time, another one can be built before dark today.” Graysu replied.

“Very good. Together with the previous three, there are a total of 10.” Yang Yi said.

Currently, Graysu is the only one who can make Dr. Vivier’s fireworks cluster launcher. The last time Yang Yi came back from Sen’jin Village, he asked Graysu to speed up the production and asked the old blind eye to fully guarantee the supply of materials. Graysu, a dwarf who works for money, has made 7 in such a short time. Graysu, who is paid to do things, is still very powerful.

Yang Yi originally planned to use these fireworks cluster launchers to deal with the troll bat riders in the Echo Islands, but now he just happened to practice with the harpies in Mulgore.

Next, Gresu started scolding the fishman assistant again.

Yang Yi did not disturb them. He left Gresu’s workshop and went to the engineering workshop next to it.

The engineering workshop was in full swing. Goblins Fizzix and Piznik were leading a group of murloc engineering technicians to produce fireworks on the production line.

Unlike the fireworks bundle launcher, the fireworks used to launch are consumed once and the required amount is huge.

Fortunately, the materials needed to make fireworks are relatively easy to obtain, and Ratchet Town is now just able to be self-sufficient.

According to the engineering structure diagram, the main materials needed to make fireworks are gunpowder and leather.

Animal fur is one of the most important resources in the Barrens, and there are still some stocks of [Light Leather] and [Medium Leather] in the town. Let the tannery temporarily slow down the production of leather armor and prioritize the production of fireworks.

As for the manufacture of gunpowder, the material needed to make [low-quality gunpowder] in engineering is [low-quality stone], and the material needed to make [coarse gunpowder] is [rough stone].

These two kinds of stones are not just casually picked up on the roadside. They are usually by-products dug during mining.

After Gold Tooth, Big Candle Garg and Overseer Narg joined Ratchet Town, the three kobold brothers led a large group of kobold slaves to dig mines and build mines.

[Inferior stones] and [Rough stones] are continuously transported from the mines to Ratchet Town, and they are all sent to the engineering workshop to make [Inferior gunpowder] and [Rough gunpowder].

[Light Leather] and [Medium Leather] are grade 1 and 2 leather, and [Inferior Gunpowder] and [Rough Gunpowder] are also grade 1 and 2 gunpowder, so those made with these materials are low-grade small fireworks. .

Yang Yi asked the dwarf Gresu how to increase the power of the fireworks launcher. The simplest way is to launch high-level fireworks. The engineering industry in Ratchet Town has just developed, and most of the fishman engineering technicians are not high-level. Currently, the only products that can be mass-produced are small fireworks.

So I have no choice but to rely on quantity to make up for it.

Ratchet Town can produce the main materials for making small fireworks by itself. All that remains is how to increase production capacity.

Fortunately, the fishmen are born with dexterous hands. [Dexterous Hands] is one of the most common specialties of the fishmen, and they are very adaptable to engineering work. In addition, the two goblin engineering technicians were very conscientious for the sake of gold coins, and they soon taught a group of murloc engineering technicians.

Looking at the busy engineering workshop, Yang Yi felt itchy and wanted to try engineering.

Yang Yi has now learned one professional skill – alchemy, and three auxiliary professional skills – fishing, cooking and first aid.

Not long ago, he had a lot of free time when he was trapped in the backwater village, so he thought about it carefully.

The great thing about his fish-man lord’s body is that he can learn things quickly. For example, alchemy and cooking can be improved by learning one alchemy recipe or cooking recipe after another. It rose slowly.

But when it comes to fishing and first aid, which basically rely on repeated use of skills to increase skill points, he has no advantage. Like everyone else, he still has to rely on time and energy to level up bit by bit.

Engineering has various structural diagrams from low to high, which are basically the same as alchemy. Yang Yi feels that he should be suitable for learning.

It’s just that now, the time is not right.

Yang Yi looked at the goblin and murloc engineering technicians who were too busy opening glue, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​studying engineering.

At present, the expedition to Mulgore is still the most important matter.

Seeing with my own eyes batches of small fireworks being produced, then packed into boxes and piled into high walls, it seems that there is no need to worry about the fireworks needed for the fireworks launcher.

After leaving the engineering workshop with satisfaction, Yang Yi rode the turtle mount to military camps, armories, warehouses and other places.

Everything that needed to be prepared before the expedition was being carried out in an orderly manner, which made Yang Yi feel reassured.

“Our murloc town has already developed in a decent way. As long as we give it a little more time to expand the population, those who underestimate the murlocs will not be able to reap the rewards…”

Yang Yizheng was thinking about the future when he saw a bipedal flying dragon landing on the square in front of the town center.

“Who is here again? Landing down without permission every time is not okay.” Yang Yi muttered dissatisfied, thinking that he quickly established a flying point in Ratchet Town to allow flying mounts. Everyone who comes will go to the fixed flight point to land.

A tauren came down from the wyvern. It was Kaya Flathoof, a heifer with the color of a cow.
