The gillweed is a magical plant native to the Mediterranean region. It looks like countless slippery rat tails entangled together. The surface is covered with mucus. After eating, it can make gills and pimple-shaped growths grow on both sides of the wizard's face.
The fingers and toes make it easier for wizards to move underwater.
The effect of Satang Fruit is similar to that, except that Satang Fruit does not transform the wizard to adapt to the water environment, but gives the wizard the ability to 'bend water'. After eating, it can create a small waterless environment around the wizard.
It has an effect similar to the 'Water Avoidance Technique', but unlike the Water Avoidance Technique, you need to keep twisting the magic trick when using it.
Zheng Qing knew both of the two herbs mentioned by Lao Yao.
But he felt that this reminder was a bit redundant.
Because he visited Quan Ke Lai last year, he had the impression that whether entering the seabed fair from the water or trading in the fair, the ability to breathe underwater was not required. The organizer of the fair opened a bubble-shaped barrier.
Create an area full of moist air on the seabed, which can meet the needs of both aquatic and land visitors.
There is absolutely no chance for the gillgrass to show off its skills.
However, this confidence full of experience and emotion only lasted less than two days, when Zheng Qing heard a slightly bad news from Fatty Xin.
"——What does it mean that the price of gillgrass has tripled in the past week?"
On Tuesday night, Zheng Qing, who was doing a small hand task, heard a certain emotion from the fat wizard when he was reviewing the manuscript. He raised his head in confusion and rubbed his tired eyes: "Don't you need that kind of thing when you go to Quan Ke Lai?
"
Although his mind was still a little dazed, he quickly found the direct reason for the soaring price of gill grass.
"It's really not necessary."
The fat wizard first gave Zheng Qing an affirmative answer, and then tapped the manuscript at hand with his quill: "When the reporter from the school newspaper interviewed and asked, those students who bought gillweed also knew that there was it in the Wei market where Quan Ke came.
A barrier that shields the seawater...but they still bought it. Not only the price of gill grass is soaring, but also the mangosteen fruit with similar effects. The price of these two herbs is not only much more expensive than usual, but also compared with last year.
Compared with the same period, the increase has been a bit excessive.”
Zheng Qing's expression became slightly more serious.
His eyes glanced at the fat wizard's manuscript, then turned to the fortune teller of the Exoneration Hunting Team: "——Is there any news that we don't know?"
Lao Yao's reminder of the final exam time last weekend was very effective, so in the past two days, Zheng Qing rarely let go of distracting thoughts, and did not care about the seven deadly sins or the cat fruit tree, but focused more on his studies.
This also made him a little slow to respond to outside news.
Xiao Xiao frowned, concentrating on revising the paper on the transformation of elves, and seemed not to hear the chatter of his companions. Until the fat wizard smashed a paper ball on his head.
"What?" The fortune teller straightened his hair and adjusted his glasses, looking a little unhappy because the paper ball messed up more than just his hair.
Zheng Qing quickly repeated the topic just discussed.
The short wizard picked up his crystal ball from the bed, wiped it casually with his sleeves, shook his head, and said with a bit of contempt: "Why do you need me to divination for such a simple relationship between supply and demand... You should really take an elective course
Learn arithmetic and divination to train your logical thinking skills. Do you remember the potions class last week?"
Jiang Yu's face flashed through Zheng Qing's mind immediately.
"Li Meng got an earworm?" He subconsciously asked.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew he was wrong. Not only Xiao Xiao and the fat wizard showed mocking expressions, but even the fat cat Tuantuan who was napping on the edge of the desk twitched his ears to show that he was speechless.
"You didn't go, why are you pulling your ears!" The boy felt his ears were a little hot, so he picked up the paper ball that Xiao Xiao had thrown away just now and threw it at the fat cat.
Tuantuan squinted his eyes, yawned, and showed his fangs.
Zheng Qing's momentum immediately weakened.
After all, when the black gem cat is beaten, he will feel like "experience it personally". There is no need to provoke the fat cat just because of a little shame.
It's really not necessary.
"Well, it's jujube lice, right? I remembered it." He laughed, avoiding the fat cat's eyes, and his tone had softened a lot: "——There are worms on the sedge trees in the Baicao Garden, Professor Li
He also asked us to help fight insects, haha, how could I forget this? It was just a joke! Ha, haha."
His laughter was very unconvincing.
Xiao Xiao and Fatty Xin both showed contempt at the same time.
Zheng Qing took a deep breath.
I can’t stay in this dormitory. Not only do cats bully people, people bully people too!
This thought flashed through his mind, but his feet remained motionless. He looked at Xiao Xiao with a look of understanding on his face: "So, what you are saying is that there will be no harvest of Satang fruit this year, causing the price to skyrocket, and then affecting the gills with similar effects.
The price of bladderwort, right?”
When spraying insecticides on the Scutellaria japonica last week, Professor Li reminded the young wizards in the class that these pesticides would cause all the leaves to fall off and not even a single fruit would be produced this year.
This is the thought.
The boy suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart.
This year's harvest of saton fruit failed, which meant that the market supply was insufficient and the price of saton fruit increased. Such a simple economic principle made sense when he thought about it, but he was completely unaware of this in that class.
Admittedly, part of the reason is that his current income of more than 700 jade coins per month is no longer worth the profit of hoarding saton fruit or gill grass. But the more reason is that he really lacks this kind of thinking by analogy.
.
Some people heard that there were gold mines in the Yukon and would go there to sell jeans and shovels.
Someone is just there to shake the sieve.
Fortunately, he was not completely hopeless. Before Xiao Xiao could give a positive answer, he changed the topic: "Didn't D&K have a supply contract with the murloc tribe of Linzhong Lake? I remember they also grow gills in Linzhong Lake."
It’s gone!”
It's a pity that he asked this question a little late.
Xiao Xiao glanced at him speechlessly...
"By the time you remember that you need a small store to forgive your sin, the transfer contract of D&K will be gathering dust!" He made no secret of his sarcasm towards the store manager.
Then, he wiped the crystal ball with his sleeve and added: "——In addition, the price increase of gill grass is not only because of the poor harvest of mangosteen this year, but also because of our class meeting last week."
"Class meeting?"
"Yes... you can ignore the reminder from the legendary wizard, but others will not. Lao Yao clearly said at the class meeting, 'pay attention to safety' and 'there is no harm in preparing a few gillweeds or mangosteens'... This kind of news
It will spread throughout Phuket Island in the blink of an eye... For many wizards who plan to go to Quan Ke Lai, this is more authoritative than any divination on the market!"
"But there is..."
"There's another barrier, I know." Xiao Xiao nodded, but then shook his head and looked at Zheng Qing meaningfully: "But who told you that the barrier won't suddenly fail or collapse?"
