() Qin Xiaobai didn't wait long in the side hall when an apprentice came and handed him a letter and said: "The girl has left just now. This is the letter she asked me to bring to you."
Qin Xiaobai confirmed it slightly and thought to himself: "Letter? After getting the benefits, do you still remember mine? This does not meet the standard of players patting their butts and leaving after eating!"
But I still took the letter and opened it to read.
"Today, I would like to thank you, brother Qi, for revealing the news to my little sister. My little sister has bought all the heavy weapons. It will be difficult to explain to brother Qi when he goes back, which will make my little sister feel guilty. I hope that tomorrow, brother Qi will be able to
Let’s get together at Fulai Inn so that my little sister can say thank you in person again.”
"What does this mean?" Qin Xiaobai was a little confused after reading the letter.
Fulai Inn is the only inn in the small village. Since there is no restaurant in the small village, it also serves as a restaurant.
The items inside are horribly expensive, not to mention the signature dish Braised Pork Seafood. Just ordering a small plate of shallots and tofu costs ten cents... That's the price of a small weapon or a pound of pork...
The meaning of Fenglin Jiaoyue's letter was obviously to entertain Qin Xiaobai, but this was completely inconsistent with the player's usual style, so he was a little confused.
"So, your master can see me now?" Fortunately, Qin Xiaobai has an advantage. Even if he knows the priorities of things, he will put aside the things that he doesn't understand, let alone the urgent ones, and solve the urgent matters at hand first.
"Brother, please come with me." The apprentice was disturbed by the players and wanted to rest here for a while, but Qin Xiaobai was unambiguous, so he had to push open the door and lead the way.
Perhaps because there are not many NPCs in the village, but it covers a large area, each NPC shop is not small, and the same is true for the blacksmith shop.
Yesterday, Qin Xiaobai went into the blacksmith shop to repair the fork, but did not go deep into it. He only stayed in the shop front for a while. Now when he entered the inner courtyard, he realized how spacious the blacksmith shop was.
The apprentice led Qin Xiaobai away for a long time, and finally came to a house that looked like an iron barrel. The apprentice resigned, and Qin Xiaobai opened the door and entered by himself.
The moment the door was pushed open, a wave of heat rushed towards him. Qin Xiaobai squinted his eyes and felt a bright red light in the weapon training room, like a raging fire.
However, this phenomenon only lasted for a moment, and the light suddenly shrank, the light returned to normal, and the indoor temperature quickly dropped.
"Why is this happening? Why is my knife like this...failed again..."
When Qin Xiaobai opened his eyes again, he only saw Blacksmith Zhang lowering his head and shrugging, holding a dark and ugly short knife in his hand, squatting on the ground with a depressed look on his face.
"Could this be the peerless weapon that the apprentice just mentioned several times..." Qin Xiaobai looked at the black and ugly dagger in Zhang Blacksmith's hand, like a broken giant sword, and was a little surprised...
"Is it you? Why did you come to me? Is there another golden melon? You go, I don't need it now." Blacksmith Zhang was depressed for a long time, and then he saw someone else beside him.
When he looked up and saw that it was Qin Xiaobai, he waved him away. He had just experienced this fiasco and didn't want anyone to disturb him.
"I'm not here to sell pumpkins this time, but to discuss business with you." Qin Xiaobai said quickly when he saw that Blacksmith Zhang was trying to drive him away.
"What are we talking about... about business?" Zhang Tiejiang was impatient at first, but after hearing the three words "business", he stood up suddenly, with the unique gleam of a businessman in his eyes.
"Little brother, please take a seat." Blacksmith Zhang wiped away his decadent and depressed attitude, his face was full of red light, he swept away the dust on the stone bench beside him, and with a smile on his face, he invited Qin Xiaobai to sit down and discuss slowly.
Qin Xiaobai was speechless when he saw Zhang Tiejiang's businessmanlike appearance. Sure enough, the villagers were like the village chief...
It is quite difficult to lower the price with the dealer, but fortunately Qin Xiaobai is prepared: "Brother Zhang, before we talk about business, let's talk about wine first. I heard that you brewed a jar of secret wine.
It’s about to take shape, but there’s only one last thing missing, the king-level bones. Brother Zhang, you’re offering a generous reward, right?”
"It's the king-level bone of the Wind Wolf King." Blacksmith Zhang was a little unhappy because he didn't discuss business immediately, but because he was talking about his favorite wine, he suppressed his displeasure for the time being.
Hearing Qin Xiaobai's question, his heart moved and he couldn't help but ask: "Does the little brother have the bones of the Wind Wolf King on hand?"
"I don't have the bones of the Wind Wolf King, but I have a car of the bones of King Yu, which are also at the level of kings." Qin Xiaobai stared closely at Blacksmith Zhang, whether he could get the discount or not, success or failure depended on it.
He has seen the Novice Village mission database and has the general star system, so his advantage lies in the early stage and late stage. However, if he cannot get enough capital in the early stage, he will not survive the later stage.
Hoarding goods and then reselling them can only make a small profit, but there is no follow-up. If you want to rely on this little capital, it is enough to protect yourself, but it is obviously not enough to stand out among players who want to upgrade at an incredible speed.
If you want to make huge profits, you must continue to control a certain popular industry.
The so-called control means hoarding most or even all of the same goods, taking the initiative, and copying the prices yourself.
Hoarding all light weapons is not a problem, but what Qin Xiaobai wants to do is lasting control, which requires a stable source of goods at a lower price than the market price.
Although the clothes and armors are good, and Qin Xiaobai has negotiated a discount, they are second-tier goods after all. Once they control the market of clothes and armors, players will have already reached level five or six, and will be out of the novice village in a short time.
He won't be able to make much money by then.
As for front-line goods, judging from various factors such as cargo output and mission rewards, compared to other industries, light weapons are the most promising market to control.
"King Yu? King Yu... Although it is a king-level monster, it is only level five. It is not qualified to replace the Wind Wolf King in brewing wine." Zhang Tiejiang thought for a while, although hesitation flashed in his eyes from time to time, but
In the end, he resolutely refused.
Qin Xiaobai naturally noticed Zhang Tiejiang's hesitation, but he knew that Zhang Tiejiang had deliberately made it for him to lower the price.
But Qin Xiaobai was relieved, as long as the bones of King Yu were needed by Blacksmith Zhang: "I don't need the high-quality weapons in the store, I only need the other half of the rewards and discounts, and this car of King Yu's bones will be yours."
Yes. And I will also purchase all the small arms in your inventory."
Qin Xiaobai was not very good at bargaining, not to mention that the other party was a businessman, so he directly showed his bottom line.
"Deal." Zhang Tiejiang originally wanted to haggle over the price, but seeing Qin Xiaobai's resolute attitude and his trump card of acquiring all light weapons, he had no choice but to agree.
The two came outside the shop and asked their apprentices to unload King Yu's bones and load eighty light weapons onto the cart.
After completing the mission, the discount was 20% off. The eighty light weapons cost Qin Xiaobai a total of 600 coins, which almost wiped out all the coins on his body.
If you come to the blacksmith shop to buy light weapons in the future, you will get a 10% discount, but heavy weapons will not be discounted.
Blacksmith Zhang looked at the light weapons loaded onto the truck with emotion on his face. For him, today was full of ups and downs, with mixed joys and sorrows. Previously, a strange woman purchased all the heavy weapons in his shop, and then Qin Xiaobai appeared.
He purchased all the light weapons in his shop and also solved the whereabouts of his own fine wine.
Sadly, he had been carefully preparing for several years to refine a hundred-refined black steel sword that was enough for him to be promoted to a fifth-level blacksmith, but failed.
After Qin Xiaobai saw that the transaction was successful, Zhang Tiejiang, who was full of excitement, suddenly picked up the broken knife next to him with a depressed look on his face. An insight came out in his heart.
Hundred-refined fine steel sword, bronze level, five stars.
The strength attribute is increased by one (ten), the agility attribute is increased by 0.5 (five), the durability is fifty-fifty, and there is no level limit for the holder.
It is made from a thousand kilograms of steel, its essence, and a hundred times of refining.
Status, seal, and all attributes are reduced by 90%.
Note: Complete class weapons are not allowed in the novice village.
Additional skills - the sealed status cannot be displayed
"Big leak." Qin Xiaobai was pleasantly surprised. Unexpectedly, he glanced casually with the intention of picking up leaks, and found a big leak.
