After walking for a while, we arrived at our destination, the iron sand ore collection point.
Instead of wasting another three days and going back empty-handed, it's better to get some gold here.
Skillfully use a knife to peel off the bark, weave it into a sieve, and then go down to the river to sift the gold.
I piled the iron sand ore aside because I didn't have the tools to process it.
They chatted with Alice one after another, and from time to time reminded Alice, who was playing with Duoduo Sheep, not to go too far. Until it got dark, they only got about half a kilogram of gold sand.
With such a small amount, you can only exchange for about 70 gold coins. At this rate, it will only take more than ten days to collect 1,000 gold coins.
However, I can live here alone, what should Alice do?
The mission requires protecting Alice for ten days. After ten days, you must go to the Mercenary Guild to return the mission. If it exceeds one day, the mission will be considered failed.
However, it seems a little short of time to send Alice back to hand in the mission and then return myself, not to mention that I am not sure I can come back by myself.
Now that I think about it, being able to get here without any danger is largely due to the "blessing of the God of Light" that Alice said. Just the presence of level 5 or above monsters recorded on the map is enough to give me a headache.
In this case.
"Go to bed early today and we will return tomorrow." I returned to the river bank and said to Alice.
"Go back now? It's not even ten days yet." Alice said to me in confusion.
"Because you fed all our rations to this beast, (you are not allowed to call the sheep Duoduo like this! Alice interrupted) I won't be able to bear eating fruit anymore, so I will come back tomorrow." I pointed at the Duoduo sheep and told Alice.
Si said.
"Okay, anyway, I want to experience mercenary life with you for ten days. It doesn't matter where you go." Alice said nonchalantly.
In fact, you are here for an outing, right?
I silently complained in my heart, and checked the gold sand I found again and wrapped it up to prevent it from being missed.
He threw away the improvised sieve and took Alice to the place where he used to camp.
"Hey, are you like this? How long are you going to stay so far away from me?"
"Wait until you throw away that disgusting magic core and take a shower!"
"Okay, it's up to you, I'm too lazy to care!"
Dinner is fruit again. Damn Alice, she won’t even let me hunt the fish in the water. I want to eat meat.
Biting into the golden fruit, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
This once again proves that power is the truth, and I want to improve my strength as soon as possible, even if it is just to eat meat.
When I become better than Alice in the future, I will have to force Alice to eat meat every day.
I took a bite of the fruit and silently made up my mind.
Because Alice didn't want to come within ten meters of me, I could only throw the tent and the pump to Alice. As for me, I had to work in the tree hole.
The return trip went smoothly. Was Alice's so-called blessing too superficial?
Maybe it can be used in some special circumstances?
For example, tie up Alice and go to some dangerous places to collect precious resources?
Looking at the tall city walls of Crow City in front of me, I couldn't help but make malicious guesses in my heart.
"These are the payments for this batch of goods, and I took them away."
"Well, I will make the next batch as soon as possible."
"Then I'll look forward to good news."
"Aenea, when did you hook up with this fox?" I couldn't help but blurt out as I saw Aenea and Annie standing in front of the door talking and laughing.
"Anne is the president of the mercenary union in Crow City, you have to respect me." Aenea lightly knocked on my head.
"Little sister Qin Xin said that, I feel sad. I don't seem to have anything against you." Annie covered the lower half of her face with a folding fan and said in a charming voice.
"You've tricked me several times, and you said you didn't target me. Are you going to trick me when you see someone?" I raised my head proudly and hummed.
"Oh my, it turns out that I am such a person in the eyes of little sister Qin Xin. It's really sad. At least this mission is full of benefits." Annie pointed at Alice who was ten meters behind me and chuckled.
He said.
Can I say that I was deceived by Alice? I only gained 0 skill points in the seven days before and after, which wasted a lot of time.
But my employer was right behind me, so I could only roll my eyes at Annie helplessly.
"That's it, I'll go back to the guild first." Annie waved to us and left with a package.
"Be careful along the way." Aenea waved to Annie.
"Okay, no one dares Annie here, let's go in first." I pushed Aenea, waved to Alice, and returned to the house.
"Qin Xin, aren't you going to stay out for ten days? Why are you back so early?" Iniya asked curiously as she poured a glass of water for Alice and I.
"It's hard to explain. Anyway, I don't want to go out now. By the way, what did you trade with Annie just now? It won't be the same small exploding ball that you used to deal with me last time, right?" I took a sip of water and said weakly.
"How could it be? What are you thinking about? If I wasn't so angry last time, and Annie encouraged me, I wouldn't have thought of using this. I think Annie sold some clothes made of long-haired rabbit fur." Aenea
He pinched my face.
Did it turn out that Anne was the mastermind? Write it down first.
But Annie is really well-informed. She even found out about Aenea's ability to process long-haired rabbit fur.
"Annie, that old fox, must have kept the price very low." I gently opened Anne's hand that was squeezing my face, and then asked.
"No, each piece of clothing can be sold for almost 60 silver coins. Anne is responsible for taxes and other things." Aenea thought for a while and said.
"Let me go, Anne must have some plans for you, and she must not have good intentions in offering such a high price." I said with certainty.
"Girls are not allowed to say rude words. In fact, I can't make much money at the speed I make clothes. Although the spinning machine you made saves a lot of time, weaving also takes a lot of time. I make a dress
It will take two days at the fastest." Aenea gently slapped my face and said.
It looks like this. It does take a lot of time to weave cloth. Last time I used my skills very hard and the efficiency was still low. No wonder clothes made of long-haired rabbit fur are so expensive.
Maybe I'll try to make money from here. After all, it's impossible to go to Phyllis Magic Academy for free. It's said that learning magic is notoriously expensive. I'll prepare some gold coins first.
However, even if you modify the spinning machine yourself, weaving and sewing clothes will still take a lot of time, so what should you do?
Sewing clothes is easy. I disassembled the pedal sewing machine at home when I was a child. I am confident that I can make one. With it, my sewing efficiency will be greatly improved.
But how should the loom be modified? Although I have visited a weaving factory and understand the principles of the loom, how should the power system be solved? Is it necessary to use manpower?
Don't be ridiculous. Let's not talk about the price issue when you go out to find mercenaries. Fighting Qi is famous for its strong bursts and long-lasting scum. Even if you get Gal back, you will probably be out of breath after a few rounds.
I sat on the doorstep, holding my chin with one hand, thinking hard.
"Qin Xin, come back to the house first. The wind blowing outside will catch a cold." Ainiya's voice came from inside the house.
"Okay, I'll be right back." I responded casually.
This little wind makes me catch a cold, just kidding.
Wait, wind?
"Aenea, you are a genius!" After saying that, I took the small bag of gold sand and rushed out.
Seeing me running out of the house, Alice rode on Duoduo Sheep and followed behind me, but there was no time to worry about her now.
