"Ah Lei, your performance is good, but you need to strengthen it." Yang Hui stood up when he saw that there were no more people watching around him.
It turns out that before Yang Hui fell down, he had told Cheng Lei his plan through soul transmission, so that was the reason for the following scene.
Seeing that Cheng Lei still looked thoughtful, Yang Hui hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry about that aunt anymore. Such a person can tell at a glance what she is thinking..."
"No, it has nothing to do with that aunt." Cheng Lei interrupted Yang Hui, "I seem to feel that the pupil power I used just now is not as much as before. But the power feels much greater."
"Is this happening?"
Yang Hui looked surprised. Cheng Lei had previously used four pupil arrows to completely drain the pupil power from his body. If it is true this time as Cheng Lei said, then Cheng Lei will obviously be able to continue fighting.
"According to my estimation, I can still cast four more pupil arrows with my remaining pupil power. But I still don't know what caused this."
"No hurry, no hurry." Yang Hui patted Cheng Lei on the shoulder, "We can slowly find the reason, but I think your sudden change is likely to have something to do with Xunyang City."
Yang Hui pointed to the city gate and said: "Without further delay, we have to go in and explore whether it is related to Xunyang City."
Xunyang City is very large, but the surrounding city walls do not cut corners at all. The one-foot-thick city walls are enough to block the attacks of earth-level monsters. This also allows merchants who come and go to trade here with peace of mind.
The purpose of Yang Hui and Cheng Lei's trip was not only to find a map with a higher accuracy so that they could find the next earthly soul. But apparently a new task was added at this moment, which was to help Cheng Lei find a map that could make his eyes clear.
The reason for the reduction in energy consumption is that in this case, Cheng Lei will definitely play an irreplaceable role in subsequent actions.
There was a grocery store not far from the city gate, and Yang Hui and Cheng Lei hurried in.
"Two gentlemen, what do you need? Our shop has all the daily necessities including pupil, talismans, weapons, armor, herbs, elixirs." A waiter-like person saw the two of them entering and hurriedly came up to greet them.
"Do you have a map here?" Yang Hui asked straight to the point.
The waiter raised his eyebrows, smiled, and secretly thought that he had met two big players. The price of maps is divided into levels, and the gap between each level is quite large. The most common map has the lowest accuracy.
You may need a few copper coins to buy it, but this kind of map only shows the official roads, some main mountains and rivers, and some towns and villages. A slightly more accurate, more detailed secondary map is marked on it.
, which may only require a few silver coins.
Don't underestimate the difference between a few copper coins and a few silver coins. It seems that there is not much difference, but it is ten times more expensive.
"Oh, sir, you have found the right place. Wait a moment, I will take out the map and let you choose."
After a while, the waiter took out several volumes of maps and placed them on the table in front of Yang Hui and the others.
Some of these maps are in tatters and some are beautifully decorated. At a glance, these maps are not on the same level at all.
Before Yang Hui and the others could ask, the waiter immediately introduced him.
The waiter pointed at the tattered map and said, "This is a primary map. It records the thirty-six main cities of the Luoyun Empire and some famous rivers, worth three copper coins." Then his finger turned to another map that looked like
A slightly better map, "This secondary map additionally marks some attached cities and branches of the Chuanhe River, as well as some famous locations."
The waiter looked up and found that Yang Hui's eyes were not on the two maps. He immediately understood that what Yang Hui and Cheng Lei wanted must be a map of level three or above.
The waiter's face was filled with an almost flattering smile at this moment. The third-level map is not just a matter of one or two silver coins. The starting price is one hundred silver coins. Compared with the second-level map, the price is a hundred times higher.
.
If such a big business is successful, it will really be three years since it opened.
However, a third-level map cannot be obtained from a small grocery store. Some country roads will also be drawn on the third-level map. To make such a map, the manpower and material resources consumed are astronomical.
.
There is no grocery store on the third-level map, but this does not mean that the waiter will give up on this deal.
After a while, the waiter took out a giant scroll that was as tall as a person from nowhere and laid it directly on the ground in front of Yang Hui.
"Two gentlemen, this is the treasure of our store, the map of thousands of miles of rivers and rivers. Since you two sincerely want it, I won't raise the price randomly. The fixed price is three hundred silver coins."
It was obviously the first time for Yang Hui to see such a huge map, so he naturally had to take a closer look. After all, the source of the third-level map was controlled by big families and powerful forces, and it was still difficult for ordinary small shops to get such a thing.
of.
This map was drawn by the waiter combined with the secondary map. Except for some main areas, the other areas were almost drawn by himself. However, seeing Yang Hui observing so carefully, the waiter was not afraid at all.
After all, if you know the places on the map, you won’t come here to buy a map, and those who come to buy a map must know nothing about this area. Such careful observation is just pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.
Moreover, not everything on this map is fictitious. After combining it with the secondary map, people with little experience will not be able to tell whether this map is genuine or fake.
Not only that, Xiao Er also combined the descriptions of the mercenaries coming and going with his own exploration of the surrounding terrain, so he put even more emphasis on describing the Warcraft Forest, especially the central area of the Warcraft Forest. In order to make the data appear more real and complete, Xiao Er
Er also personally marked the sphere of influence of Warcraft in the heart of the Warcraft Forest.
When the waiter saw that Cheng Lei and Yang Hui were alone and weak, they refused to go to the center of the Warcraft Forest, so he pointed at the area on the map and said with tears: "This, yes, this is where I will spend my whole life.
I will never forget this place. If the nearby holy lake hadn’t saved our lives five years ago, all of us would have been eaten by these ligers.”
Cheng Lei and Yang Hui looked at where Xiao Er's finger was, which was marked with the words "liger". And almost right next to the three words "liger", the words "holy lake" were written impressively.
Yang Hui immediately discovered that something was wrong with the sphere of influence marked on it. He knew the location of the Liger very well, and it was at least a hundred miles away from the Holy Lake. At the moment, the distance between the two on the map
The distance is so close, it obviously shows a problem, this map is fake.
The accuracy of the map is very important. If you are in a strange place and holding a wrongly marked map, it may be fatal.
"Okay, let's just buy this primary map. The third-level map is too expensive and we can't afford it."
As soon as the waiter heard this, the previous flattery on his face suddenly disappeared. With a twist of his head, he grabbed the giant map from Yang Hui's hand and carried it to the warehouse. As he walked, he cursed, "Two poor guys."
Why are you pretending to be rich? If you don’t have money, don’t waste my time.”
The waiter's voice did not lower, obviously just to let Cheng Lei and Yang Hui hear.
Cheng Lei felt uncomfortable now. It was obviously the waiter who was trying to trick him, but why did he scold himself instead? Not only that, even Yang Hui was unwilling to expose this liar to his face.
Yang Hui glanced at Cheng Lei and knew what Cheng Lei was thinking. He smiled slightly and said: "If you see through it, don't say it. After all, there are other customers in this store. If I say it, it will be equivalent to cutting off people and money.
The road to wealth is like killing your parents, it is better to do less of this kind of thing."
"But if this continues, this waiter will deceive more people."
"I also know this situation, but we can solve it for a while, but not forever. Cause and effect will eventually be rewarded, and the world will reincarnate. Someone will come to deal with him."
Cheng Lei was still aggrieved, "Then let's just forget it?"
"Forget it?" Yang Hui chuckled, "How can I give him any advantage? Although I don't intend to expose him, I can't let him scold me for no reason. But obviously we don't need to do it ourselves today. Come, come here, we are ready
Let’s watch the show.”
Yang Hui pulled Cheng Lei towards a corner of the store. Not long after he stood still, a group of mercenaries rushed in from the door of the store.
The waiter put down the giant map in his hand and came out when he saw this group of mercenaries.
"Why aren't you dead yet?"
When the waiter saw this group of mercenaries, he almost blurted out these words.
However, as soon as the words came out, the waiter immediately realized that he had made a big mistake. The cursing expression he had just put away instantly, and a layer of white hairy sweat appeared on his face.
The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched, and his aura had completely dropped. The arrogance that he had in front of Cheng Lei and Yang Hui just now had disappeared. His voice was also trembling at this moment.
"No, no... I... I mean... you guys... have come to visit me. I'm... a little disappointed. But the shop is closed today, so please come back."
Before he finished speaking, the waiter immediately ran towards the back. However, these mercenaries in front of him were obviously here to seek revenge. How could they let the waiter in front of him go?
A slightly stronger man stepped forward, grabbed the waiter's collar, and slowly lifted him up.
"I didn't expect that we could come back alive, right? Fortunately, our boss arrived in time and discovered that the pills you sell here are fake. Otherwise, we would have fallen into your hands!"
The man waved his hand, pointed at the circle of surrounding shops, and said to the people behind him: "Brothers! Smash it!"
At this moment, the waiter ignored the sound of "kicking and banging" behind him. He turned over, immediately took off his coat, took three steps at a time, and rushed towards the back yard of the store.
"Still want to run?"
When the mercenary saw Xiaoer perform the Golden Cicada Escape, he kicked Xiaoer to the ground with a flying kick.
A small medicine bottle came out of nowhere in the mercenary's hand. He bit off the cork with his teeth, opened the waiter's mouth with his other hand, and drank the bottle of medicine at once.
The waiter's body was pressed hard by the mercenary, and he howled like a slaughtering pig, but the mercenary turned a deaf ear and allowed the waiter to scream.
After a while, I don't know whether the waiter was exhausted or the elixir took effect. His head tilted and he fainted.
