When Ye Zhongming noticed something like this, the first thing he saw was people, many, many people.
These people were sitting on the edge of the street near a magnificent shop, meditating with their eyes closed. Although the number was not large enough to be called a sea of people, it was enough to create a certain scale of congestion here.
It seems that these people are cultivating, but Ye Zhongming doesn't understand, shouldn't cultivation be in a quiet place even if it is not secret? What is going on in this busy city? Is this also the custom of Bourbon Free Territory?
?
That's not right. Ye Zhongming walked all the way and saw such a scene only here, not anywhere else.
Ye Zhongming walked closer curiously, wanting to ask someone, but the people around him seemed to be used to this, and no one stopped to watch. It was just that people who walked by occasionally looked intoxicated, which made him very strange.
.
After observing for a while, he slowly walked onto the street. When he entered the range of these meditators with their eyes closed, Ye Zhongming immediately smelled a strange fragrance.
Out of caution, he stepped back first, felt it carefully, and found that there was no abnormal reaction in his body. At the same time, someone passed by safely, so Ye Zhongming continued to move forward with confidence.
This strange fragrance lingered in his nose, and Ye Zhongming felt refreshed as if in the spring breeze, with an indescribable feeling of comfort all over his body.
At the same time, the strength of the body seemed to have begun to become unstable, and was a little ready to move.
There was a slight look of surprise on Ye Zhongming's face. He really didn't understand how this smell could make him feel like this.
He stood there, feeling carefully, trying to find the reason. His eyes fell on the magnificent shop. The smell should have come from there.
As he was watching, he saw two people walking out of the shop and heading straight for Ye Zhongming.
"Don't you know the rules?" One of them walked up to Ye Zhongming and asked seriously.
Ye Zhongming was stunned for a moment, rules? What rules?
This man's eyes fell on Ye Zhongming's ears, and he felt a little enlightened, and his attitude became a little better.
"Outsiders? Then you probably don't know the rules here." The man pointed at the people around him and said: "You have to pay us a certain amount of compensation for practicing around our 'Jiapin Store'. After all, we have toiled a lot.
It took a lot of sacrifices to capture the Insect King."
Ye Zhongming was confused. He felt that the Insect King this person was talking about should be the King of Ants. He heard from Indy that it was very valuable, even priceless. This store called Jiapin Store could
If you catch the Insect King, he should be very strong.
But what does this have to do with him standing here and being charged?
Seeing that Ye Zhongming still looked confused, this person looked suspicious and said, "You don't even understand that the smell of Insect King Honey can help with cultivation, do you?"
Ye Zhongming took a moment, and then he realized that this smell was coming from some kind of Insect King Honey, which could help people practice. No wonder so many people are sitting here practicing.
"How much?"
Selling taste, Ye Zhongming is very curious about this method.
"One needle holds five square coins, three needles hold fourteen square coins, and ten needles hold forty-five square coins. If you pay one diamond coin at a time, you can stay as long as you want, but you have to get up and leave or eat or drink.
Water is the end."
The needle pendulum is a way of calculating time here. Ye Zhongming compared it with Indy. One needle pendulum is roughly equivalent to half an hour on earth. The square coin is the currency in circulation here, and there are smaller ones below.
The face value of the coin is called a round coin, and the larger face value is called a rhombus coin, and they are in decimal form.
Sitting here and smelling the smell, half an hour costs five square coins? Ye Zhongming thought for a moment, and it seems that the price of the red scarf fruit without a complete round wheel is only five diamond coins, right? In other words, if you use the price of the red scarf fruit on the earth,
With 24 hours as a day, staying here for less than three days is equivalent to buying a red scarf fruit? Although you can sit there for as long as you like by paying a diamond coin, people have to survive after all.
Three days? Or four days?
Ye Zhongming didn't know if the smell of Insect King Honey would be long-lasting. If it existed all the time, this business without capital would be really easy to do, and even making a million profits wouldn't be enough to describe it.
"Can I ask how to sell the Insect King?"
Instead of having to pay to smell it here, you might as well buy the Insect King directly and put it at home and smell it as you like, using it as an air freshener.
The guy wanted to laugh but didn't. He looked up and down and left and right at Ye Zhongming. This outsider was wearing low-end leather armor and didn't have any weapons in his hands. He didn't have the aura of a strong man on his body, and there were no followers behind him.
From any angle, he doesn't look like someone who can afford the Insect King.
Of course, even in Scabby City, and even in the entire Bourbon Free Territory, there are only a handful of people who can afford the Insect King.
"My friend, I'm not looking down on you. The price of the Insect King is so high that most people can't afford it. You know, it has no use except making you feel desperate. After a while, there will be
A big buyer has come to tear open Bicheng, and when our Insect King is sold, you will naturally know the price."
After saying that, the waiter saw that Ye Zhongming didn't seem to want to pay, so he kindly asked him to leave.
Now Ye Zhongming really can't afford it because he is penniless.
After leaving the confines of the Jiapin Store, Ye Zhongming looked back and carefully observed the people cultivating here. Since they were not evolvers, we could only estimate their strength. There should be no very high-level people among them.
Ye Zhongming has experienced it personally. If that kind of fragrance is useful to him, it will also be useful to the powerful people here, but they are not here.
After thinking about it, Ye Zhongming guessed that either, these people might be in the shop, where the aroma is stronger, and it is worthwhile to spend more money to get more efficient cultivation; or, these high-level people have their own
The method or approach is no less effective than smelling the Insect King Honey.
After wandering around the busy city for a long time and opening up his horizons, Ye Zhongming returned to the appointed hotel.
In fact, if Ye Zhongming wanted to, he could sell or exchange some things on the earth for something, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it. After all, the items on the earth are too special. Once they attract the attention of people here, it will be troublesome.
Will come to your door.
It's better to be cautious when you don't understand the situation here. If there is a level nine monster here and targets you, it will be too dangerous.
After arriving at the hotel, before returning to the room, he saw an anxious Yaqin circling in the lobby. When he saw Ye Zhongming, his face lit up and he quickly ran over to catch him.
"Quick, come with me, Indy and the others are fighting!"
……………………………………………………
Arriving at a place called Shijiu Store, Ye Zhongming saw many people gathered around the door from a distance, and loud shouts and curses came from inside.
Along the way, Yaqin told Ye Zhongming about the matter.
It turns out that this store is where Indy plans to sell red scarf fruits. Although he doesn't come here often, after all, this store is doing 'big business'. But he and the boss know each other well, and he knows that this place has a good reputation.
Okay, fifty red scarves is not a small amount. Indy can feel free to sell it here.
Facts have also proven that Shijiu Store indeed gave a very fair price, for fifty red scarf fruits, the boss gave a price of one thousand seven hundred diamond coins.
Indy, who knows the market very well, knows that this is a very honest price.
Just when the two parties were about to make a deal, they met an unexpected person.
Gou Hai!
The guy who sold Indy the team a metal canister that sprays corrosive liquid.
In the Bourbon Free Territory, the status of craftsmen is very high, second only to the nobility. Even some famous craftsmen are not looked down upon by the nobility.
There is no way, they have skills, and they can ignore anyone's expression except for the members of the city committee or the few senior executives of the Adventure Alliance.
Although Gou Hai is not among this group, he is still quite famous in Scabby City. Several items he manufactures are still very popular, especially the 'Rotten Water Sprayer', which has become a big hit on many occasions.
Useful, such as when dealing with ants.
At the bottom of Hema Valley, the author who can create crafts to deal with this kind of life will have a higher status.
Originally, when Gou Hai saw the Indy team when he entered the store, he wanted to turn around and leave. He sold them a batch of inferior rot water spray cans that had failed to be manufactured and no one wanted them, and he was mentally afraid of seeing them.
to theirs.
Gou Hai was very surprised. How could he come back alive when he went hunting for red scarf fruits with a rotten water spray gun that was of poor quality and had a very short spray time? It seemed that only one person was missing.
But before turning around, he saw behind the counter, the owner of Shijiu Store was handing a bag of diamond coins to Indy, and Indy pushed the red scarf fruit that had just been inspected on the table to the boss.
in front of.
The two parties have obviously completed a transaction!
Gou Hai was surprised and his body stopped, wondering what was going on? Could it be that instead of being completely wiped out, Indy's team also successfully hunted a large number of red scarf fruits?!
In an instant, greed took over his body.
As a well-known craftsman in Scabby City, Gou Hai is considered a rich man. He cannot compare with those wealthy people, but he can own a big house in this city, with more than a dozen servants and five guards.
A person is enough to prove his financial resources.
However, based on his experience, just by glancing at the red scarf fruits on the table, he knew that there were at least forty or fifty of them, some of which were of very good quality and might have five rounds or even more. These things,
Even if the price is lowered if all are sold to Shijiu Shop, you can definitely get more than 1,500 diamond coins, or even more.
Gou Hai is a rich man, but this money is also a huge fortune for him!
He just thought for a moment, then quickly walked to the counter, grabbed the excited Indy, and woke up this explorer from his dream that the six of him could get more than 300 diamond coins.
Gou Hai started to curse in a fierce voice, with a bad attitude, and his whole body was shaking!
Such curses stunned Indy and others for a moment, and also alerted other customers in the shop.
After listening to a few sentences, everyone realized that the reason why the famous Gou Hai was angry was because this person called Team Indy did not give Gou Hai a commission as agreed!
In Scabby City, as well as the entire Bourbon Free Territory, there is a complementary relationship between craftsmen and explorers. Craftsmen make various equipment to enhance the strength of explorers, while explorers go on adventures and use these equipments to go on adventures.
gain profit.
In the transaction between the two parties, there are usually two methods. The first is cash and spot, which means that the craftsman creates the finished product and sells it directly to the explorer, and everyone clears the money and goods face to face. The second is that the craftsman makes the finished product and sells it directly to the explorer. The second is that the craftsman
Give the equipment to the explorers and charge no or only a part of the fee. Afterwards, make an agreement with the explorers that after they come back, the income will be given to the craftsman in proportion.
There is no need to mention the first method, it is normal and most transactions are done this way. Very few people take the second method because it requires a certain degree of trust, which means that the craft author trusts the explorer.
Because things are made by craftsmen, it is safer to adopt the first method. If it is the second method, although the final income may be more than the first method, it will also take a lot of risks and prevent explorers.
Do not tell the truth about the specific gains.
Therefore, those who can adopt the second method are mostly craft authors and explorers who have cooperated with each other for a long time.
The method adopted by Gou Hai and Indy's team before was originally the first method, but Gou Hai said at this time that the method adopted between them was the second method, and the draw ratio was even very high, reaching the level of half and half. That is,
He provided the equipment completely free of charge and agreed to get half of the harvest in the end.
The sudden change made everyone in Indy's team confused. Before they could go to trouble the person who sold them inferior equipment, he actually ran over and said that the two sides cooperated on a commission basis and now wanted to take it away.
Half of the diamond coins... no, not half, but all! Because in Bourbon, once the second cooperation method is adopted and the explorer fails to truthfully tell the truth about the gains, all the gains will be deducted!
Now, Gou Hai is asking them to hand over all their income.
That's 1,700 diamond coins, 170,000 square coins! Most of them belong to Ye. If they are gone, how can we explain to others!
So the impatient Indy team members immediately fought back loudly and denied the incident!
But with a well-known craftsman on one side and a little-known explorer team on the other, everyone instinctively chose to believe the former.
Especially after Gou Hai said, "Look, what kind of strength are they? Without the equipment I provided, how could they get so many red scarf fruits?" After that, not only the onlookers completely believed Gou Hai, but also Ji Jiu
The boss's eyes changed when he saw Indy Team, whom he had known before.
The Indy team naturally still wanted to fight, but the situation was very unfavorable to them. The two sides had reached the edge of conflict. Seeing this situation, Yaqin took advantage of the chaos and ran back to the hotel to find Ye Zhongming.
By the time Ye Zhongming arrived, the scene had been completely controlled by Gou Hai and the city guards who arrived, and Yin Di and others were all knocked to the ground, put on ropes, and were about to be taken away.
