However, there is still a gap of 1,050 shillings in the transaction.
"How much can this piece of information be worth?" Out of some kind of test, Lu Li told what happened in the real library yesterday. And earlier today, he tied the same content to the crow's leg.
After being frozen for a few seconds, the businessman replied: "Partial information about an evil spirit, it can compensate for 150 shillings."
"What if this information is a duplicate? I told the investigator organization before."
Lu Li did not take advantage secretly. He had to consider the consequences if investigators or businessmen checked the information and found it was duplicated.
Especially when investigators give more rewards than merchants. If the reward is obtained from merchants but the investigator organization does not give it, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"We will collect repeated information, but we must make sure it is our own experience." the businessman replied.
"Anything is okay?"
"As long as it has to do with weirdness."
Many paranormal investigation organizations that Lu Li passed by wouldn't care, but he could trade them with businessmen.
After completing the event in the future, Lu Li can definitely get two rewards from the investigator and the merchant, although the reward from the merchant is not much.
So Lu Li began to detail all the strange encounters with ghosts since arriving here, except Anna, the door and the bloody tentacles.
Each piece of information was only worth tens of shillings or even a few shillings, but the information could not withstand the complexity. More than a dozen pieces of information were exchanged for 450 shillings. Among them, the evil spirit umbrella-holding girl businessman encountered directly offered 150 shillings as a reward.
Lu Li hasn't mentioned the main source of this information yet: Swamp of Shadows.
The Shadow Swamp, which was left to the end, bought Lu Li 300 shillings, leaving him with only 50 shillings left before he could complete the deal.
Lu Li did not take money, but chose to pay on credit.
After taking the books and maps from the merchant, Lu Li found that the merchant showed no sign of leaving. He continued, "Want to take a look at this week's specials."
"What's there?"
Lu Li put the things on the desk and turned around to ask.
"The Investigator organizes a weekly special, which records special news happening in each region just like a newspaper. It is published once a week. The subscription price is 400 shillings for four weeks."
Equivalent to 100 shillings a week, a newspaper.
A normal newspaper only costs 1 shilling.
This was of course very expensive, especially when Lu Li's weekly salary was only 350 shillings, but he still chose to subscribe for four weeks. Of course, on credit.
"Today is the weekend, and your newspaper will be delivered by the businessman on Monday two days later." the businessman replied.
"Is there anything else?"
"Special offer on psychic gun, purchase this week for only 350 shillings and comes with three silver-plated bullets."
"……continue."
"Information trading week, trading information at merchants this week can increase your rewards and discounts by an additional 10%."
Of the 900 shillings that Lu Li earned from almost all his experiences, 10% was actually a bonus.
It seems that you cannot exchange information with merchants in exchange for large rewards.
At least not now.
After the transaction was over, the businessman picked up his exaggeratedly huge and shabby backpack and left. Lu Li walked back to the desk and was about to flip through the map when Anna walked out of the kitchen.
"Let's eat first."
She held the pot, put a towel on the handle, brought it to the dining table with a hissing sound as if it was very hot, and then pinched her earlobe - until Lu Li looked at him calmly and inquiringly, she felt a little embarrassed.
He said he was imitating the way the neighbor woman cooks.
Lu Li sat down at the dining table and enjoyed the "summer" food prepared by Anna.
I don't know whether it's because Anna's cooking skills have improved, or it's the effect of new ingredients and spices, but it does taste better than before, more like... food.
The leftover bread from last night was cold, shriveled and hard. Lu Li broke it and threw it into the broth, then drank the minced meat in the broth from the wooden bowl.
Putting down the wooden bowl, Anna's face could not hide her joy.
"It tastes a lot better, right?"
"Um."
"So it's not that there's anything wrong with my cooking skills, it's that you bought too few ingredients."
Lu Li did not answer Anna. After washing his hands, he returned to the desk and sat down, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, dissipated the heat caused by the broth, and picked up the books.
The books the merchant brought were very comprehensive, and he clearly knew what Lu Li wanted. Four of the five books were about the history of the customs and customs of each continent, and the other one felt familiar to Lu Li.
"Human Footsteps"
It happened to be the book that Lu Li had read in the real library and was deeply impressed by it.
This saved Lu Li the trouble of buying it again.
Lu Li reviewed "The Footsteps of Man" again, put it and four other books on the bookshelf behind him, and picked up the special version of the Allen Peninsula map.
A piece of parchment the size of half a desk was unfolded. After a long period of drying, processing and stretching, the animal smell could no longer be smelled on the parchment.
The Allen Peninsula is clearly displayed on the map, with clear patterns on mountains, oceans, and farmland.
Lu Li opened the official version of the Allen Peninsula map again. It was a quarter smaller than the previous one. Only symbols were used for the logos. The material was no different from the paper in ordinary books. It seemed that it would be torn to pieces by a gust of wind.
Lu Li cleared a space on the edge of his desk and placed the official map there to compare the differences between the two points.
He first looked at Belfast, the easternmost part of the map, where the same-scale city was clearly drawn on the internal map, as well as the specially marked Andres Brothers repair station.
The Night Watch organization is located next to the city hall.
There are sporadic base branches of night watchmen and investigators in other areas, mostly in cities.
Moving his gaze to the west, the light gray shaded area represents the Shadow Swamp, with hooked symbols drawn in dark red ink.
Represents the territory of the evil god.
Lu Li saw three of the same colors and symbols on this map.
This means that as of now, there are actually four evil god territories on the Allen Peninsula that are the same as Shadow Swamp.
Ruins, danger zones, places where sanity fell, the location of the evil spirit, and the strange things that cannot be moved. Lu Li identified them based on the shape, color, and location of the symbols. These things were scattered all over the Allen Peninsula and in the deep sea of the island. On half a desk
It's not too dense on a big map.
But as said before, this is only the map as of this month. They are being cleared by the three major organizations on the Allen Peninsula all the time, and new weirdness appears all the time.
This is just the Allen Peninsula, which is less than one-tenth of the size of the Main Continent.
Throughout the afternoon, Lu Li calmly flipped through books and maps. Anna tried to understand them, but she soon felt that storybooks were more interesting.
No one disturbed him, and Lu Li quickly absorbed knowledge while raising his expectations about the dangers of this world again and again.
This calm lasted until July 13, two days later.
The investigator organization released the assessment incident of trainee investigator Lu Li.
