"I made wine in the guild for three days, and I didn't close my eyes for a moment before I got this broken brand. If you get angry with me again, I may really become a ghost. ”

Shen Lu said with an unhappy face.

"This is the token of the seven-star priest, Master, let me change it without sleep for thirty consecutive days, I am willing. Yiyi said enviously. After she became a four-star winemaker, she already felt a sea difference. Now when I see Shen Lu's seven-star brand, I almost drool.

What Yiyi didn't know was that Shen Lu was already a genuine eight-star winemaker at this time.

But this kind of thing is not easy to explain, and Shen Lu can't take out the system interface to show Yiyi, so he can only continue to sigh.

Looking at Shen Lu's unwilling expression, Dugu Yiyi seemed to realize something, and then sat next to Shen Lu and said softly: "Master, in fact, the clergy token is more of a status symbol. And since identity is involved, it will inevitably involve a certain amount of power disputes. Although I don't know much, is there a possibility that the headquarters knows that you have more than seven stars, but they don't dare to send you too high a brand?"

Shen Lu gasped and immediately reacted.

In the past period of time, the status of a five-star winemaker has brought Shen Lu a huge advantage. If an eight-star brand is really issued at this moment, God knows what kind of turmoil it will cause.

If a person is very powerful, he will be admired, but if he is too powerful, he will be too sharp.

It's not a good thing to be remembered and envied by.

His boss Qu Xuanzong has kept a low profile more than once, and he should not be too publicizing the identity of the clergy, which should also be his plan.

If you think about it this way, I feel unhappy because I was demoted by one star, and I am indeed a little childish.

He smiled awkwardly and said to Yiyi: "Your analysis is very correct. Hey, I'm still too young to expect something so deep. You're not that old, how can you think of that?"

Dugu Yiyi's eyes dimmed, and he laughed at himself: "The family taught it." ”

"Huh, your family still taught you this?"

"Uh, hehe, don't talk about that. ”

Dugu Yiyi obviously didn't want to talk about his family, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Today I received a letter of appointment from the public headquarters, asking me to serve as the president of the Syracuse City Guild. Master, this is also arranged by you, right?"

Shen Lu nodded and admitted, "I will never allow an old fox like Song Dexing to continue to manage the guild of Snowy City, so I recommended you." Regardless of identity or star rating, you deserve the position of this president. Besides, on the day of the accident in Syracuse, you behaved very well, and I believe that the clergy in the guild were already convinced of you. ”

Dugu Yiyi suddenly said: "It turns out that the master has been arranging it since that day. Indeed, after receiving the letter of appointment, everyone in the guild supported me. ”

"What about you, do you want to be the president?"

Shen Lu suddenly said solemnly: "Although I have made arrangements, everything has to be based on your willingness. If you don't want to, I can make other arrangements. ”

Dugu Yiyi hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I'm too willing." In fact, this sect master of the Baili Sect is not something I am willing to be. And the only thing that can prove my worth is the identity of this priest. Now Master, you believe in my ability and are willing to let me be the president, I am really happy that it is too late, where would I not want to. ”

Shen Lu saw her sincerity, and his eyes lit up when he mentioned the matter of being the president, and it seemed that he really liked it in his heart.

After Yiyi left, Shen Lu thought a lot about himself.

Although he only got a seven-star brand, his strength as an eight-star winemaker has not been attenuated because of a brand.

The data in the system bar is absolutely genuine.

Priesthood: Winemaker 8 stars (0% proficiency)

After reaching 8 stars, no matter how much wine is made, there is no longer an increase in proficiency, but Shen Lu has already felt an extremely obvious difference.

In addition to another leap forward in winemaking, I also learned new skills.

[Seven Stars Unlock Skill: Brew Fairy One Finger Elemental. (?Grade)】

The so-called elementalization means that different drinks can cause different effects of the Brew Fairy Finger, and the power of the Brew Fairy Finger can also be changed by infusing the mana of different elements.

Before, Shen Lu could only punch out liquids such as wine mist through the finger of the wine fairy, no matter what these liquids were before, it was always wine mist that was punched out.

And from now on, if Shen Lu brews a jar of poisonous wine, the wine mist will also have a toxin effect.

What surprised Shen Lu the most was the new martial arts unlocked by Eight Stars.

[Eight-star unlock skill: Wine clone. (?Grade)】

This trick allows Shen Lu to condense the drink into a humanoid form that is exactly like himself, and then control its movements.

The wine clone and Shen Lu share the mana in Shen Lu's body, as long as Shen Lu's mana is strong enough, this wine clone can also become extremely powerful.

With so many benefits, isn't it better than the multiple stars on that broken brand?

Thinking of this, Shen Lu finally stopped drilling the horns of the bull, and happily put away the priesthood token.

"Oops, that's bad. Shen Lu patted his head and said, "The Seven Treasure Immortal Dew Wine I brought back was originally going to be given to Yiyi, but I was angry when I patronized it." Forget it, I'll give it to her next time I see her. ”

At this time, Shen Lu couldn't have imagined that if he wanted to see Dugu Yiyi again, it would become as difficult as the sky.

......

Syracuse, Pier.

Shen Lu and Luo Jun sat down in front of a small stall, ordered two bowls of seafood noodles, and ate them happily.

Luo Jun saw that Shen Lu had finished eating in two or three bites, and he still looked unsatisfied, so he immediately ordered the stall owner to make two more bowls.

At this time, the ships at the dock entered the harbor and rang a bell.

The stall owner immediately untied his apron and said to the two: "I'm sorry, if you want to eat noodles, you can cook them yourself, and you can use the ingredients as you like." ”

Then he carried two baskets of dried salted fish and ran quickly to the direction of the pier.

In addition to him, there were many small traders on the dock who were carrying goods and frantically squeezing towards the dock.

Seeing this, Shen Lu asked Luo Jun with some curiosity: "What are they doing here?"

Luo Jun said with a smile: "The three merchant ships that have just entered the port will only come once a month, and the purpose is to buy our goods at a high price and then send them to larger cities for sale. Since the price of their purchase is about 20% higher than that of normal sales, coupled with the limited space of merchant ships, everyone who wants to make this money is naturally crowded. ”

Shen Lu suddenly said, a little unhappy: "Once a month is too little, no wonder our Yong'an Kingdom has been trapped in this small place for generations, it turns out that the trade road is blocked." ”

Luo Jun sighed: "Yes." In fact, Yong'an Country has a lot of specialties that can be sold at a very high price outside. For example, the heart of the green-faced wolf, this thing can be used as an alchemy, and it is an indispensable medicine for some pills. However, due to the fact that the alchemy of our Yong'an Kingdom is not prosperous, this material may only be sold for less than a hundred wen. ”

Shen Lu himself had sold the materials of the blue-faced wolf, and nodded: "This thing is really worthless to sell directly." How much can it be sold for in a place where the wind of alchemy prevails?"

"Half a tael of gold, that is, five thousand wen, is worth fifty times. ”

Shen Lu's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief: "There is such an exaggerated price difference? Lao Tzu went to kill the blue-faced wolf, and beat him at least one hundred and eighty hearts a day, so didn't I get rich?"

"If you have a stable trade route, you can really make a fortune. Luo Jun added.

Shen Lu suddenly whispered to Luo Jun: "Do you know the thing called the psychic storage ring, this thing can hide the goods in the storage ring, and then let the psychic master teleport it remotely." Hey, I have a way in the headquarters of the Clergy Guild, so I can also get rich with Yong'an. ”

Luo Jun hurriedly made a silent gesture and lowered his voice: "City Lord, don't dare to say this." The use of psychic storage rings to transport goods for sale is a serious smuggling act. You have to do business between different countries, and you have to give everyone enough sweetness to get support. If you dare to do this secretly, let alone get rich with Yong'an Country, even your own life may not be guaranteed. ”

Shen Lu patted his head, and said in his heart how he forgot about this stubble.

To do this kind of business between countries, of course, paying taxes is indispensable.

It seems that it is not realistic to trade secretly, and it is still necessary to establish an open trade route.

Thinking of this, Shen Lu immediately got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and see how these merchant ships trade." If I have the chance, I would like to form a sea caravan belonging to Snow City. ”

The so-called three fires in office, Shen Lu has just served as the city lord, and his heart is naturally very strong. He had left Yong'an Country and knew how wonderful and rich the outside world was, so he had always thought about connecting Snow City with the outside world.

To do this, you must first get the business started, otherwise everything is a dream.

Luo Jun has also just served as the gang leader, and he is also full of ambitions to display, but he doesn't know in what direction to develop. Hearing Shen Lu say that he wanted to create a trade route that belonged to Snowy City, he immediately felt that this plan was feasible.

The two hit it off and immediately came to the vicinity of the merchant ship together.

There was already a long queue of people who wanted to sell the goods, and they were all holding the goods for the caravan personnel to inspect.

Shen Lu and Luo Jun walked to the place where the goods were inspected, and immediately came out and the two tall men scolded: "Go to the back, line up." ”

"We don't sell, we just come and see. Shen Lu explained.

"What's there to see, don't mess with it. The big man continued to drive them violently.

At this time, there was a sound of dispute in the place where the goods were inspected, and after hearing it, the big man immediately scolded and said: "Which one who is not long-sighted is causing trouble, don't you put our Fujia Chamber of Commerce in your eyes!"

Shen Lu also followed the noise. I saw the place where the goods were inspected, and a teenager hugged a cloth bag tightly and cried: "I won't sell it, can't I sell it!"

"No!" a middle-aged man with a mustache grabbed his cloth bag and said sharply: "You have wasted so much time inspecting our goods, and you say that if you don't sell them, you won't sell them, aren't you playing tricks on us? ”

"My python skin is worth at least three taels of gold, but you only give me ten taels of silver to send me away, who is out of credit? Now that I don't sell it, you still refuse to let me go, is there such an unreasonable thing in the world?"

The mustache laughed and said, "Grandpa, I am the truth!"
