311 The Secret of Quality
"This piece of equipment ...... It's really not as good as it could be. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the unique style of the hut, Duan Qing was holding a set of standard armor, and under the white light above his head, he pretended to investigate: "Probably because of the standard, this thing uses ordinary iron ore and provides attributes...... Oh no, it's good defense, but it's not very effective......"
"Not bad, not bad! Or brother, you have vision. The hunchbacked old man sitting behind the closed counter nodded with satisfaction: "That's what it means!" So isn't this girl very unreasonable, she wants so many gold coins when she opens her mouth......"
"Hey!"
Before he could finish speaking, the little girl standing on the side pulled Duan Qing behind her angrily: "What are you doing?" I'm here for you to negotiate the price, not for you to throw at the price! It's still your own price......"
At the previous moment, Duan Qing, who had just pushed the door in, had not yet reacted, when the overjoyed little girl took her hand and ran to the front, and then begged him to continue to talk with the old man who had had a business relationship with her, and use the equipment she received to develop a new brand for their adventure group. But what she didn't expect was that what the man said next was to smash his own signboard first: "Commander, my lord, my eldest sister!" This equipment is so frustrated, and I'm not a businessman, of course I have something to say......"
"That, that, you can't say that!" The little girl pulled Duan Qing's ear and whispered, "At least we should talk about the advantages of this equipment first, and boast about its strengths or something......
"No advantages, no strengths."
Duan Qing glanced at the other party expressionlessly: "Let me ask you first, did you go to Carbindbor to sweep the goods?"
"Uh...... yes, yes. Mengzhu's voice became a little stumbling: "We have a cooperative relationship with them......
"If you have a cooperative relationship, you can't be the big one!" Duan Qing gritted his teeth and whispered, "Don't keep staring at the quality of those items, pay a little attention to whether they are useful or not, and then buy them, okay?" That armor doesn't have any out-of-the-ordinary attributes, so at the end add a '5% reduction in melee damage taken'...... Who wants but a fool like you! ”
“…… It's already nice to have this attribute. The little girl pursed her lips and muttered, "It was all recommended to me by that Connelly at the time......"
"You can believe what a councillor says." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "And...... If it's all good, why can't they be sold in other stores? Can't you just move your little head and think about it? ”
"Isn't it just a little bit of a chicken rib...... But will Cabinborough also have a backlog of such goods? ”
"As long as there are players in the world, there will be such goods." Duan Qing explained: "There will always be players who dispose of the scrap products or discarded equipment that they have made, except for some special crafts, they have no use for holding them...... Where do you think all this waste has gone? NPC Shop, of course! The free world has just brought this to the shelves, and the result? It's all for you to buy! ”
"But, but ......," the little girl scratched her head and thought for a moment, "The things that Cabinborough usually sells are very good, and the players applaud them again and again."
"That's where people do business." Duan Qing spread his hands and explained: "Let's take this armor as an example, no matter what its attributes are, it is at least a fine quality, and it looks good in the store every day...... The same goes for other things, such as ...... Uh, how many things did you bring with you today? ”
"I brought seven." The little girl whispered, and at the same time pointed to the thousand fingered crane sitting in the corner with a bored face: "She also helped me carry two ......"
"It's all of good quality?"
"Hmm." The golden ponytail swayed up and down with Mengzhu's nod: "If it's too low, I'm afraid to bring it for sale, and if it's too high, I'm reluctant to ......."
"Look, that's one way." Duan Qing said, "No store dares to guarantee that all the things they sell are of the fine grade or above, let alone the equipment of the epic grade...... If you're able to open a store and then do that, either you're strong enough to do it, or you're ...... You're just taking some chicken ribs and stuffing them up, like this one. ”
“…… But how could they possibly have so much equipment in a place as big as Carbindburg? Mengzhu asked suspiciously, "Even if it's mixed with so much water......
"It's ...... There must be something we don't know about. Duan Qing pinched his chin: "A way to produce equipment may be manufacturing, it may be recasting, or it may just be a prank of the omnipotent system...... Anyway, it's something we don't know. ”
“…… That's why there is such a chicken attribute? Mengzhu also lowered his voice: "Then what should I do?" I've bought a lot of them, and they're all in the Adventurers' Guild now......"
“…… How much did you buy? ”
Raising his head and sighing, Duan Qing looked back at the old man with an innocent face: "The black market is such a magical place, this old man must know something." The odds of you wanting to make his money on this are ridiculously low......"
"Alas......" Then the little girl became a little depressed: "Do you want to smash it in your own hands?" That's all hard-earned money......"
"Show me all the equipment." Duan Qing stretched out a hand: "And Xiaoqian's...... I'll take a look at it and think about what to do, maybe ......."
"What can we get out of here."
"Okay." The little girl answered, and then untied the large backpack behind her, which did not match her petite body at all: "This is the Arcanist's cloak, with a little more mental value...... This is an elite longsword that has an effect that increases the range of the stabbing...... This is a Bright Silver Dagger, and it is said that the special effect on it can pierce any magic type of defense......"
"Why don't you keep this dagger for yourself?"
"I'm not a full-time fighter, so it's good to have a similar dagger." The little girl muttered, "The attributes of this dagger are not high, so it shouldn't be much worse...... Well, and this axe...... Wow! ”
A strangely shaped helmet suddenly inserted into the sight of the two people, startling Mengzhu, who was still concentrating on rummaging through the equipment: "You, you, you...... Ay? Laughing at Hongchen? ”
"This axe is very good!" The man ignored her screams, as his attention was already on the axe, "Will you give it to me?"
"Laugh at Hongchen!" The little girl who came back to her senses jumped up again: "Where have you run all this time?" Tasks do not do activities and do not participate, you you ...... Take your dirty hands away! ”
"Captain, let me change my weapon, I haven't changed my weapon for a long time." The shirtless man got up with a smile, and then scratched his head a little embarrassed: "My spear just broke a ......"
"No! These are all items bought with the money of the party, and they are meant to be sold! Can you afford that much money...... You, you, you! Where did you get all this money? Explain! ”
"Alas...... It seems that it will be unclear for a while. ”
Looking at the lively scene over there, Duan Qing, who looked helpless, shook his head and withdrew his gaze, and then took another package from the red-haired girl's hand in the smiling eyes of a certain maid at the door: "I'm sorry, Brother Qingshan, my strength is small, I can only carry so many ......"
"Don't be inferior, that girl is also the master who doesn't want to die to make money, and her strength is not great." Duan Qing, who said these words, unwrapped the package and began to check everything: "And...... Judging from the current situation, it would be better to take two less. ”
"Isn't it...... What's the problem? ”
"Minor problems, don't worry." After carefully reading the description of the item, and checking it over and over again for a long time, a smile gradually appeared on Duan Qing's face: "A total of ...... Nine pieces, right? Okay......"
He stood up and walked up to the sleepy old man amid the chaotic noise behind him: "Hey, old man!"
"Call me the Black Camel." The hunchbacked old man raised his eyelids: "Although I don't care about this, you still don't use such casual names......"
"All right, Black Camel...... Mr. Duan Qing owed slightly: "I will preside over the next transaction, you ......"
"If you call the one just now a transaction......" The old man raised his hand and interrupted Duan Qing's words: "Then you better go home as soon as possible, don't waste each other's time."
“…… Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. Duan Qing smiled slightly, and slowly propped his hands on the outer wall of the closed counter: "Nine pieces of fine-grade equipment, a total of three thousand five hundred gold coins, how about it?"
"Three thousand five hundred gold coins? Why don't you grab it? Like a cat with its tail stepped on, the old man immediately jumped up from his position: "Don't tell me you don't know the value of these equipment, they are not even as good as ordinary armor!"
"It's all excellent grade, excellent grade." Duan Qing lowered his head and smiled: "Counting it, I also charge four hundred gold coins for one piece of equipment......
"Just as there is a gap between you adventurers, there is also a gap between the good and the good." The old man squinted his eyes and said, "Any piece of equipment I have here is worth more than these combined, why do you want me to pay so many gold coins for this pile of rags of yours......"
"This is the black market."
Duan Qing suddenly lowered his voice: "It's the darkest place in the whole principality."
"Since Cornelius has a way of turning bad scrap into good equipment, you black market...... There must be a way, right? ”
With a strange look in his eyes, the old man looked up at Duan Qing's face, but he didn't say anything.
"Looks like I guessed right...... Right? ”
Picking up a pair of iron boots in his hand, Duan Qing lit up an inconspicuous sword and shield symbol at the root of the sole of the boots: "Can you explain it to me...... Does this thing mean anything? ”
“…… Have you ever seen this sign? ”
"It's not seen in the Valya Tavern, but I've seen it somewhere else." Skillfully hiding the information he found on the Internet into his words, Duan Qing showed a strange smile again: "When...... The Warrior's House will also make equipment? And take it out and sell it? ”
"The Warrior's House is supposed to make equipment, and everyone in the continent knows that......"
"But they're all on their own behalf, and they've never sold in bulk." Duan Qing shook his head and said, "And...... Tania's Warrior's House branch, but it's only Hank's, and I haven't heard of them running anything like a blacksmith shop......"
"Why is there such a sign in such an inconspicuous place?"
“……”
Seeing that the old man was silent again, Duan Qing put down his hand holding the iron boots, and then pointed to his feet: "I have also checked the other equipment, some are nothing, and some are ...... But in those invisible corners, there are other signs, although I don't know them, but I can probably think that they are representatives of other forces...... Is that right? ”
"So many people are producing equipment,......" Duan Qing smiled and spread his hands: "No wonder Tania's blacksmith shop is going to close down."
“…… All right. The hunchbacked old man sighed and shook his head: "These things...... Some of them do come that way. But ......"
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Of course." Duan Qing said in a low voice: "Because...... You are also part of the black market. ”
"I've been on the black market twice, and there are very few people who set up shop here, people like you who set up shop alone...... Less. Looking at the left and right of this hut, Duan Qing gestured in the direction where the old man was sitting: "In this way, no one has come to the door to rob, I can think that this is a proof that your tricks are very bright...... Right? ”
"You don't know how to change your equipment like this......" Duan Qing's fingers twisted around his head: "It seems a little unreasonable, right?"
“……”
The old man didn't speak, just looked at him with fixed eyes, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are very smart, adventurer."
"What are they?" Duan Qing immediately asked.
"It's raw materials."
The old man replied in a low voice, "We ...... There is a way to transform them into better items, and the process is uncontrollable, but at least much stronger than what is in front of you. ”
“…… Could it be that such a magical technology was made behind the Mage Council? ”
"How is that possible?" The old man shook his head: "Probably...... It's a legacy of the Old Magic Empire. ”
"It's exciting." Duan Qing's eyes emitted a curious light: "I don't know ......"
"Don't ask, there's no way I'm going to tell you." The old man shook his head and said, "For Hank's sake's sake, two thousand gold coins...... Take the money and go. ”
"Two thousand? Are you calling Hanako? Three thousand gold coins. ”
“…… Two thousand five hundred gold coins. ”
"Three thousand, this is the lowest price, no one is missing."
“…… Adventurer, you must know that the transformation of these things is depleted, and the final result is unpredictable......" The old man raised his eyelids: "Don't be greedy anymore."
"Good, good." Duan Qing immediately retracted his gaze: "Then I'm going to ...... Two thousand gold coins are ready. ”
"Huh?"
"Also...... Add a chance to gamble. ”
"What?" The old man screamed and stood up again: "What are you thinking? You don't really think ...... Gambling goods are all 1,000 gold coins at a time, right? The day before yesterday, it was for Hank's face......"
"Hehe, don't get excited." Seeing the old man dancing with his hands, Duan Qing, who was through the window, hurriedly pushed his hands: "We are also taking risks, after all, what can we get...... It's also completely uncertain, right? This kind of luck is ......"
"Luck? I don't want to test your luck, your luck has already been tested that day......"
"Luck is conserved...... This, coupled with a long-term supply of materials in the future. Duan Qing took out the final killer move: "How is it?"
"Hmm......"
The old man who stood up grinned and hesitated for a long time, and finally sat back slowly: "This is ...... All right. ”
"Two thousand gold coins, plus one gamble." He whispered, "Deal?"
"Deal." Nodding with a smile, Duan Qing gave the old man a thumbs up, then turned around and clapped his hands at the others: "Okay comrades, be quiet for a while."
"It's time to test the pedigree again."
