Seeing that his mental base value was about to become a fourth-level psyker, Leo was a little excited, but he was more concerned about how many good or bad side effects the mysterious existence had brought to him.
After carefully checking other project templates on the personal attribute interface, Leo found no other abnormal data changes, which made him slightly relieved. Then he closed the personal attribute interface, walked to the edge of the platform again, and activated his spiritual vision.
Look at the lake.
As he expected, the mysterious being had retreated, and all he could see before his eyes was a lake that turned into a thick fog, but the remaining spiritual energy fluctuations of the mysterious being still had not dissipated.
For this reason, Leo concentrated his mental network to collect various data on this psychic wavelength and established a file in the database so that if he encounters this mysterious existence again in the future, he can discover it in advance.
"Is it the dream consciousness of the night god?" After the last trace of psychic wavelength disappeared in the energy field, Leo with a solemn expression retracted the mental network and stopped the data collection of the accessory brain system. Then doubts arose in his heart, and he instinctively did
He made a guess, but he quickly shook his head and denied the guess.
Although the mysterious being in the lake is very powerful, judging from the fact that Leo can resist and calmly activate his psychic skills, the opponent must not have reached the Omega level, and cannot even compete with the True Eye at the hunting ground on the outskirts of Miria.
In comparison, it is estimated that it should be only slightly more powerful than the most powerful dream spirits he found in the forest outside the city, almost equivalent to a sixth to seventh level psyker.
As for why Leo's daily will dropped by 11 points just after confronting him for a few seconds, this is probably related to the spiritual energy used by the opponent, or it may be related to the surrounding environment, but it definitely has nothing to do with the opponent's true strength.
.
After analyzing the situation, Leo temporarily put the mysterious existence in the lake aside and left it to the assistant brain system to pay attention to. Then he turned around and looked at the town reflected in the moonlight in front of him. He stepped inside and soon the figure disappeared.
In a narrow alley.
For Boris, since entering this year's monthly period, he has encountered extremely unlucky things. First, he damaged a set of stoves due to desertion and lost his job. Then, he was about to negotiate a marriage, and the other party suddenly
The unilateral statement was invalid. In the past two days, he had even checked that his body showed signs of ancestral transformation, and a pair of small tentacles grew faintly on his back.
Those who hope to gain merit by clearing out forest monsters are extremely eager to become ancestral, because only those who have ancestral transformation are qualified to become guards and have the power to kill monsters. Only then can they become a prominent figure in the city by virtue of their merits.
noble status.
But for people like Boris who don't want to take risks, the ancestral state is definitely a disaster, because once the ancestral state is formed, he must become a guard, must leave the safe lake town, and must go outside to face the
Those terrible dangers may even be sent to the front lines like guarding castles in foggy areas.
Therefore, when Boris discovered that his body had signs of ancestral transformation, he chose to hide it and tried every means to find a way to remove the ancestral transformation.
Fortunately, he still had a trace of luck left in him. When he felt desperate, a friend who used to work in a spring manufacturing factory told him a secret, that is, there was a store in the 67th District selling a potion. This potion
It can make people's ancestral state disappear.
It is said that this kind of potion is mainly used for breeding offspring of some ancestral incarnations with special body shapes, because some parts of these ancestral incarnations will no longer be suitable for ordinary people, and the ancestral incarnations must be eliminated in order to be able to be with them.
Ordinary people reproduce.
For people who have completely transformed into their ancestral state, the effect of this potion is only temporary. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, the disappeared ancestral state will appear again, but for those who have not completed their ancestral state transformation, especially Boris.
For a person who has just experienced ancestral transformation, the effect of this potion is permanent. As long as one takes this potion, the ancestral transformation can be completely eliminated, and the ancestral transformation will not occur again in the future.
Although the vast majority of people in Hushang Town hope to become ancestral in their bodies, there are still many people who are used to the current peaceful life and do not want any changes. Therefore, there is a market for this potion, and the demand exceeds the supply.
, the price has always remained high.
Boris had heard of this potion before, but he didn't pay attention because he didn't think he would need it. But now after hearing about this potion from a friend, he asked about the store that sold it, and immediately went to ask about the potion.
s price.
The price of fifty alliance coins is definitely a sky-high price for Boris. According to this currency value, he can buy a single room between the 20th and 29th districts. According to his previous work
Assuming three Huzhen coins per day, it would take five or six years to complete the accumulation without eating or drinking.
Feeling desperate, Boris walked aimlessly on the streets of the 33rd arrondissement, from the bottom floor to the seventh floor. He didn't know what he was looking for here, but he always felt that he had a chance.
Hidden somewhere here.
District 33 is the largest household market in Seventh Lake Town. People in the town will bring various items they don’t need at home to sell or return them here. Because the town council will not collect taxes here, some people in the town
Family workshops will also sell gadgets made at home here.
Because the trading atmosphere here is very unique and interesting, some bored aristocratic men living within the 20th arrondissement also disguise themselves and take out some items to trade here.
These noble gentlemen don't seem to be interested in the value of the items they trade. They prefer to hear how much noise the items they trade create among the common people. Therefore, from time to time in this market, you will always see some valuable items of astonishing value.
Items, and whether you can finally obtain these items depends on whether you have a good eye.
Because he has worked in a spring manufacturing factory for many years, Boris is very familiar with some high-value strong springs. To ordinary people, these strong springs are no different from ordinary springs, so they will be sold together when they are sold.
While shopping, he was lucky enough to find three military-grade nineteen-winding powerful springs. The total value of these three, which reached thirty Huzhen coins, only cost him two Huzhen coins. It can be said that
Made a huge profit.
However, his good luck seemed to stop there, and he never found anything of value to him after that. He also thought about trying his luck like other people and buying random things with no apparent value.
, maybe he could find one or two interesting things in it, but in the end his reason prevailed and he did not do such a behavior that he regretted.
After shopping for a while, Boris felt that he would not find anything if he continued shopping. It would be better to find a buyer to sell these three powerful springs, accumulate some capital, and go to higher floors to look for them.
.
However, just when Boris was making a decision, a commotion suddenly came from a small room not far away. He looked over and found that twenty or thirty people had gathered outside the small room, and there were more than a dozen people.
Because the exclamations gathered in that direction.
With strong curiosity, Boris also moved forward, and with his strong body, he squeezed to the front and had a clear look at the situation in the room.
I saw, in this small room, a tall and strong man wearing a hunting suit, a three-cornered hat, a beard, and suffering from black skin disease. He took out three alliance coins from the wooden box next to him with a clip.
He handed the coin to an old man, then took a book from the old man's hand and placed it in the wooden box on the other side.
Boris, who was curious about the scene in front of him, quickly asked the people next to him about the situation. It turned out that the strong man with black skin disease sitting inside was a businessman from the Fifth Lake Town. This time, he was mainly working for the Fifth Lake Town.
A certain scholar purchased some old books.
It is said that in order to make it easier to carry, this merchant did not bring any money or anything, but brought ten bottles of very rare healing potions, which he sold for a sky-high price of 5,000 alliance coins, and now he plans to use all 50,000 alliance coins.
I came to buy books. So far, three days have passed and I have spent more than 3,600 alliance coins and bought more than 2,000 books. It is a big deal.
Through the discussions of the people around him, Boris heard that this person initially collected all kinds of books, from family novels, to mechanical research, from lumberjack manuals, to the three hundred ways to whistle, in short, any book that had been written and bound.
He collected everything in volumes.
However, he seemed to be doing this just to attract the attention of the residents of the town. Once the news spread, he had requirements for the books he acquired, such as manuscripts of ancient books, any books related to the Ten Towns and Silver Moon City.
Books related to mysterious organizations, any books related to aberrations, forests and foggy areas, etc.
From the conversations around people, it is not difficult to hear that some books that seem to be of no use can be sold for very high prices. For example, a Night Watchman's Diary was sold for a hundred alliance coins, and another book at the same price
Fragments of wizard notebooks from hundreds of years ago, as well as some abnormal atlases, were also sold for twenty to fifty alliance coins.
Hearing this, Boris breathed a lot. Although he didn't like reading, his father loved reading and ancient books. After his death, he even left a box of books he had collected in his early years.
All kinds of books, he felt that those books could be sold for hundreds of alliance coins no matter what.
Thinking of this, Boris stopped watching, squeezed out of the crowd, quickly went up to the roof, and headed from the suspension bridge to his home in District 57.
When Boris returned to his house, he didn't close the door, ran directly to the bedroom, climbed up to a small attic he built, rummaged through a pile of debris, and soon found an old large box.
After that, he forcefully moved the box out of the pile of debris and placed it in the middle of the bedroom. He opened the box and saw the well-preserved ancient books inside. He couldn't hide his excitement.
After closing the box again, he found some ropes to tie it up, carried the half-man-high box on his back, and hurried out of the room.
When Boris carried a big box back to the small room in the Family Market in District 33, there were much fewer people gathered there than before, but there were still some people holding some old books and handing them to the merchant.
Choose.
Seeing this situation, he did not rush, but waited quietly with the big bookcase on his back. It was not until the last person in front of him who was dealing with the merchant walked away with dozens of alliance coins that he walked up to him and transferred the bookcase he was carrying.
He placed the book box in front of the other party, then opened it and said, "How much can I sell these old books for?"
The other party did not answer immediately, but wiped the lenses of his glasses with a cloth, then took out the books one by one from the box with a clip, and carefully placed them on the table in front of him.
Although the other party picked up the book with a clip and did not touch it directly with his hands, Boris still frowned instinctively and felt a little disgusted in his heart.
Just like most ordinary people in Ten Towns and Silvermoon City, Boris has a natural rejection and even disgust towards people with black skin. If it were not for money, he would not even want to work in this country with black skin.
He appears in front of a sick person because he feels that the gas the other person breathes may infect him.
Even though Silvermoon City's Wizards Association and Apothecary Association have stated more than once that melanoma is just a common skin disease and does not cause any contagion, the perceptions that have been fixed for many years cannot be changed in a short while.
After the other party took out all the books, he carefully read the first few pages of each book, and then quickly picked out some existing or unnecessary books and threw them back into the book box.
Seeing the number of books on the table decreasing rapidly, Boris became a little uneasy. Regardless of his dislike for this businessman, he came closer and said in a deep voice: "These are all ancient books. Are there any?"
Shao Geng is an out-of-print and only copy..."
"No matter how good the book is, it's not what I want." Before Boris could finish speaking, the other party said in a very fluent Silvermoon City accent: "If you had come two days earlier, maybe I would have accepted it, but now
...You're late!" As he spoke, he threw a few unnecessary books back into the book box. In the end, there were only four books left on the desk, and then he stopped and said: "These four
I want this book for fifty federal dollars each, no bargaining, I’ll take it if you don’t want to sell it.”
"Sell, why not sell!" The high price of fifty federal dollars per copy had far exceeded Boris's expectations. He would not bargain any more, so he quickly agreed.
Seeing Boris agree, the other party quickly scooped out a puddle of federal coins from the box full of coins with a spoon, then counted out two hundred coins and handed them to Boris.
Boris turned around and left excitedly with the two hundred federal coins. Even the box of leftover books on the ground had no intention of moving them back. However, when he left, he didn't find a few people guarding the small room.
The fierce men outside exchanged glances with each other, and several people followed.
"The collection of books has stopped this time. I hope that I can receive valuable books from you next time I come here." At this time, the merchant looked at the few federal coins left in the box and stood up.
Chapter completed!
