"Chenghui, a total of 68 silver and 21 copper coins"
Zhu Yuting boldly asked for a very high price, and the NPC Jaeger with a red border took out a money bag and handed it to her without counting.
It was the first time she received such physical coins. Zhu Yuting poured out all the tinkling little things inside. There were a few golden ones and a few shiny silver ones... They were obviously gold and silver coins. As soon as they arrived in her hand,
It was recycled by the system and turned into 68 silver and 21 copper in the account.
ah!
They obviously gave me a lot of money, but the system is too hacky.
But Yeager felt the magic effect everywhere. The coins he just gave disappeared, including the soul mark he left on the coins.
This gave him a deeper understanding of the Magic Network.
"Guest, move slowly!"
Jaeger nodded and walked to the next stall.
On a bright moon day, the sky is filled with bright moonlight.
In a world of silver light, the New Magic City is like a huge pearl. The defense effect on the city wall is fully activated, spreading out an inverted 'jade shield', distinguishing it from the dark, unknown, and dangerous world.
It looks like an isolated island.
Within this huge 'pearl', countless light spots outline a prosperous and lively city that never sleeps. Natural light and magical light are harmoniously intertwined with each other, making people dizzy and immersed in it unconsciously.
This flea market is the place with the most brightness and crowds.
It is the best trading time of the day, when all kinds of people and things interact here, and huge amounts of material and money are exchanged every minute and every second.
Those who are crazy, those who are newly online, those who have returned from missions, those who are ready to go on adventures to buy supplies...
Rich high-rollers, poor beggars, honest people who work hard to help others, three hands that keep an eye on others' money bags...
Zhu Yuting slaughtered the legendary 'fat sheep' for the first time. She was in a daze at the stall when she suddenly realized that something was missing. She hurriedly checked the stall and found that several samples were missing.
ah!
Is it that bastard!?
She was looking for the suspect in the crowd, but people were coming and going, and she couldn't tell who was the thief?
Tourist stalls are not protected by the system. This situation is unavoidable. Some players specifically target tourists, so you must always be vigilant.
At this time, two players, a man and a woman, strolled over to this side. One of them was an elf (female) and the other was a human (male). They were both wearing ordinary equipment of level 10 or 20, without title cloaks. You could tell at a glance that they were
The kind that leads to a very unsatisfactory life.
"Husband, it seems that we got more money this time. Lao Zhu doesn't seem very happy. How about we give him some extra money?"
"Zhutou is good at everything, but he likes to haggle too much. It's not easy to divide the things this time. I can only estimate the approximate value. How much to sell depends on everyone's ability. We can't sell more than he sells.
If it's too small, let's just say it's unfair, right? You can't coddle him, the more you coddle him, the more problems he will have."
"But... we managed to form a fixed team with great difficulty. It's rare that everyone knows each other in real life."
"Uh... what do you think we should do? Make up for the money? He also wants to save face. I'm afraid he won't be able to lose face and do bad things with good intentions."
"How about we just buy some things here to supply him? Isn't he practicing his chef skills? Buy some ingredients or something?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
The two talked softly, not conspicuous in the crowd of people coming and going. They walked patiently from stall to stall. It was not true that they didn't like anything. When they passed by several player stalls,
Obviously there is something they need, but the woman always smiles softly and shakes her head. The man sees it in his eyes, full of uncontrollable distress and guilt.
Afterwards, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they understood each other's thoughts. The woman leaned on the man's shoulder, and the man held the woman's waist, like a pair of sugar figures pinched together, so tired that they melted.
not open.
Zhu Yuting was fascinated by what she saw.
Walking closer, the woman discovered her stall and was attracted by the dazzling array of medicinal herbs and ingredients. Just as she was about to come over, an orc player was one step ahead of them. He squatted down and picked up a bone ornament and asked, "How do you sell this?"
"Ah?" Zhu Yuting quickly cheered up, "This is 2 silver."
"Two silvers, why don't you go and grab it?", the orc player stared and shouted.
"This is made of alchemical materials. You see, it also has the attribute of luck +1. It doesn't take up equipment slots. 2 silver is already very cheap."
"Nowadays, gadgets that add luck are all on the street. What's the use of lucky +1? Can I sell it for 20 coppers?"
"Not for sale!"
Are you kidding me? Twenty coppers is not enough money for materials? You might as well grab it.
"Gan, why have you never seen money? I think you will just be a tourist your whole life."
It’s okay if this person doesn’t buy it, but he still speaks evil words?
But Zhu Yuting doesn't care. There are many people like this. Everyone has to go through everything when starting a business alone. She has already experienced it.
"You guys, if you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. Why are you scolding me?" However, the couple couldn't stand it, so the woman said something on Zhu Yuting's behalf.
"Fuck your mother, what's the matter with you?"
"Speak more clearly!" The man in the couple took a step forward.
"Why did I just scold you?"
"Husband, forget it"
Zhu Yuting also said: "Both of you, please calm down..."
"What, you're scared? Haha, you're level 10 or 20, and you don't even have a title or cloak, and you still stand up for others?" The orc player refused to give up, and said nothing.
The man in the couple was so angry that he wanted to start a fight, but his girlfriend stopped him and kept backing up.
"Bah!", the orc player turned around triumphantly, "2 silvers, right? I want it."
"I'm sorry, I won't sell it anymore!" Zhu Yuting put away the lucky +1 bone ornament and pretended to be immersed in organizing the stall without looking at this person.
"Hey, are you still angry? If you don't sell it today, you have to sell it. I won't leave."
Why do you meet this kind of person again!
Zhu Yuting had just been moved by that couple, but in the blink of an eye she was disgusted by such people. It was really...
When doing business, you must be kind to others. You must not be dissatisfied if you don't want to be unhappy with others. Zhu Yuting understands this truth, but sometimes there is nothing she can do when encountering such a top-notch person.
——The guards had to be called.
"Okay, Zhu Yuting, you wait for me!"
After being driven away by the guards, the man finally left, but before leaving, he made harsh words and warned that he would cause trouble for her in the future.
It's so easy for players to cause trouble for tourists, and even their IDs can't be hidden from players.
Zhu Yuting felt a little regretful. She had sold it to him just now, so why did she have to fight for it?
…
Yeager returned to the camp and found a large group of people blocking the door. Instead of rushing over, he sent out a crow and hid in a shadowed corner to wait.
Soon the crow will come back.
"...it was two adventurers who violated the laws here."
"who?"
"Brother Docker."
"so what?"
"Let's hand over people."
"What did they do?"
"I broke into a forbidden area, it should be the Mage Tower."
"Did you find anything?"
"No, I'm afraid it's not the Docker brothers who are coming back."
"You mean..."
"So I was ready to hand over these two people, but Viscount Wilson disagreed."
"Hand it over, tell Viscount Wilson, it was my idea."
"OK."
The crow flew away, Yeager walked out of the shadows, and the people at the camp gate dispersed as expected. A group of city guards escorted the Docker brothers and walked towards the city lord's palace.
Back at the camp, Viscount Wilson was waiting for him.
"This is what the Docker brothers discovered."
Yeager took a sticky, almost solid substance from his hand and sniffed it with his nose, "It should be an active substance."
"what is that?"
Yeager smiled and said, "Basic consumables for making 'flesh puppets'. Demons are very good at this kind of magic."
"That means……"
"It doesn't explain anything...how about that mage tower?"
"The Mage Tower is empty...Brother Docker found nothing."
"How did they sneak in?"
"I don't know, it doesn't look difficult?"
Jaeger smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said nothing and walked further inside.
We rented an inn, and most of the clergymen and professional guards disguised as businessmen did not come back.
There was a bonfire burning in the yard, and professionals and clergymen in small groups sat around, sharing their impressions of the city.
"It's hard to imagine that they are actually undead. They are more... than most people I have ever seen..."
“Fresh!”
"Live, fresh bodies, fresh spirits, fresh souls...How could they be undead, but the strong aura of undead is unmistakable. It's really strange."
"This city is more prosperous than most royal capitals."
"It is a city that never sleeps. With the Mother Earth above, I never knew it could be so lively at night."
"They are all arrogant. There is an air of arrogance everywhere, even towards their own gods. It is unimaginable how they get along with each other. Even if they are false gods, they should not be tolerated, right?"
"Their food is terrible, I mean the taste."
"It should also be flesh and blood magic, especially the cheap food, which has a strong ghoul smell. But their high-end food is okay, but the price is extremely expensive."
"They look rich?"
"The wealth is unimaginable. I think the Fairy Forest is just one of the reasons. They have other channels to obtain material."
"I have seen the farmland outside the city. With an output of this scale, it cannot be so prosperous."
"There are too many unreasonable things."
"They have a lot of professionals?"
"It seems that cloaks are used to distinguish and position class?"
"It should be true. The more gorgeous the cloak, the stronger the strength. Based on various information evaluations, the top professionals are no less than the Grand Knights of the Temple of the Church. The theory of bloody battles seems to be true."
"How many professionals do you think there are with this level of strength?"
"They seem to have a ranking list?"
"I heard that there are tens of thousands of top professionals with the strength of the Grand Knights of the Templars."
"Ten thousand people?"
"Their rankings only count the top 10,000 strong ones."
"Your Excellency, Mother Earth, how many great knights of the Templar do we have?"
"Two hundred people? Probably less than that."
"It seems that the strength of this Norman Grand Duke is out of control."
"Maybe, I shouldn't have done it last time..."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about something else."
Jaeger picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the fire. The blazing flames could not dispel the chill that enveloped the surroundings.
The more he learned about this Norman duchy, the more mysteries became. Over the past few months, he followed the caravan and visited countless of their towns, and he discovered more and more that this was a country that he could not imagine and understand.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard loud cheers outside. I quickly went out to take a look and saw that all the residents of the city were cheering and celebrating something.
The undead were very excited and yelled something.
"What's wrong with them? Are they crazy?"
Viscount Wilson, disguised as the leader of the caravan, whispered beside him.
Yeager shook his head. The magical effect of 'Language Understanding' had failed, and he didn't know what the shocking cheers were celebrating.
After waiting for the huge commotion to subside, the trade officer from the city lord's palace came over and told them that the 'customs clearance document' had been approved and they could set off for the 'public service' and the core territory of the Norman Grand Duke.
The next morning, the caravan carried the slowly purchased supplies from this city, drove dozens of huge beasts of burden, and staggered away from this city that never sleeps, heading towards its final destination—the public service.
Until now, Jaeger still doesn't know why the whole city cheered and celebrated yesterday.
At the flea market, Zhu Yuting's things were sold out, and the number on her account exceeded 5 gold for the first time.
5 gold is a huge amount of money for most players. It’s not that players don’t have it, but tourists don’t have as much consumption as players and can save more money.
With these 5 gold, she can try to rent a shop, or buy a house in a property developed by an organization.
Although I can't buy a big one.
She happily put away the stall, carefully put the marching blanket into her backpack, and followed the flow of people outside the stall.
"The player qualifications for the 7th test are really only drawn from tourists? It's like a dream. I couldn't believe it before."
"Yeah, this is really great, but I don't know how many players are qualified."
"Visitors should be able to be converted into players, right? Each test will have 10 times the number of people in the last test."
"I hope so... Haha, we can also be players."
"The money I saved is waiting for this day."
"Is this settled like this? There should be a lot of objections offline, right?"
"Sure, but it's useless. System announcements have been sent out."
All the tourists I met were overjoyed. When the system announcement was released yesterday, the whole city was really celebrating.
Who has the largest number of tourists?
In the blink of an eye, the 6th test is almost over.
Time flies so fast.
——Are you a player?
Zhu Yuting is not as happy as most people. She thinks it is good to be a tourist without so much pressure. Besides, she is not very interested in the mainstream game process of killing and killing.
But the huge difference between tourists and players made her a little unsure. How could players not be tourists?
“Players can also focus on leisure life.”
In the Alchemist Association, Zhu Yuting delivered the last payment for materials to Du Shiyu. Du Shiyu enlightened her and said, "The functions of tourists are too limited, so it is better to be a player."
Too.
Zhu Yuting laughed, but it was still unclear whether she would win the lottery.
