Chapter 61: Re-emerging (Part II)
The Taklamakan Desert, which means "place where you can't get in and out" in Uyghur language, is often referred to as the "Sea of Death". It is located in the center of the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang, the whole desert is about 1,000 kilometers long from east to west, about 400 kilometers wide from north to south, with a total area of 337,600 square kilometers, it is the largest desert in China, second only to the Sahara Desert in Africa, so it is called the "Taklamakan Desert", which is the second largest mobile desert in the world.
Among the world's deserts, the Taklamakan Desert is the most mysterious and seductive. In Gao Shou's eyes, the Taklamakan Desert is the loveliest one, with a large pile of gold hidden in it, and if you "dig it out", you can eat and drink without worrying about it for at least half a year......
It took two whole days for Gao Shou to rush to the Xinjiang region, and he walked along the road to the end, and finally came to the last stop to enter the Taklamakan Desert - Longmen Inn.
It is estimated that the inn built near the desert, there must be ** out of ten of them, all of which are named Dragon Gate Inn!
The inn, in addition to drinking tea, can also be used for rest and practice, which is undoubtedly a grade higher than the teahouse, but the force value of the shopkeeper is much higher, otherwise the guests lose their lives or money during the practice, and the inn can be closed.
When the unarmed Gao Shou walked into the inn, he immediately attracted the attention of two groups of people in the rivers and lakes. Which player in this year doesn't know martial arts? Unarmed is more threatening than a weapon-carrying one, because you can't be sure what his specialty is......
Moreover, this unarmed player is still wearing a hat with a veil hanging from the side of the hat, and it is impossible to see what the hell is coming from.
"Guest officer, please take a seat, Xiao Er, I'll go and make you a good pot of tea!" A player dressed as a shopkeeper walked over, and opened his mouth to be a string of jargon full of Jianghu flavor.
It's no wonder that the game "Jianghu" is so endearing that there has been such a craze for antiquity, so that many players are trying to imitate the ancients in the game.
It's a pity that Gao Shou, a realist through and through, doesn't have a superfluous mood to squander: "Don't come to this set, and make me a pot of good tea, then how many copper plates do you have to charge me, don't be so troublesome, just just come to a spoonful of inferior tea, although the effect of quenching thirst is a little worse, I drink more is the same." ”
"Howler!" This kind of guest shop has seen a lot, and he usually behaves like an iron rooster, which really makes them meet something exciting, and the money is faster than anyone else......
After a while, the shopkeeper really took a wooden spoon and handed a spoonful of inferior tea to the high guard table: "Such a big spoonful, only charge you three copper plates for tea, it's cheap enough, right?" ”
"It's pretty cheap, but I think your wooden spoon is supposed to be the one that feeds the horses, right?" Takamori asked, taking the wooden spoon.
"That's right, don't you want to drink with a wooden spoon, we only give people teacups to drink here, so we have to use animal drinking utensils for you." The shopkeeper said jokingly, he was not afraid that this guy would kill him, anyway, he was a little white-level player who didn't even bother to cultivate his internal strength, and he never cared about this cheap life......
"Well, that's good, it's just that I'm a little strange, why do you have female players in such a remote place, and they're quite beautiful?" Takamori twisted his head slightly, as if adjusting his gaze.
There are actually beautiful women? Where, where? The two groups of martial arts people, including the shopkeeper, all looked out the window, and all they saw was the yellow sand in the sky......
When these guys turned their heads suspiciously, they found that the guy with the hat had already drunk the inferior tea in the wooden spoon!
Dry! Shameless enough, powerful enough!
I wanted to take advantage of this guy to see his face under the hat while he was drinking water, so that he could easily recognize this person's identity, whether he was qualified to go to the desert alone, who knew that this guy was so insidious, using a bad trick to deceive a three-year-old child to divert everyone's attention, and then take the opportunity to drink water......
It's a tough guy to mess with!
"This guest officer, you also came to the desert to pan for 'gold', right?" Feeling the unusualness of this player, the tone of the shopkeeper couldn't help but be a lot more respectful.
When he said the word "gold", he accentuated his tone, and everyone understood that there was no real gold in the desert, but a sleek human head that could be exchanged for gold!
"Hehe, I'm not here to pan for 'gold', I'm just here to pan for 'silver'!" Gao Shou, who accentuated the bass effect of the microphone, even himself, listening to the sound coming out of his mouth, had a strange feeling.
"Oh, may I tell you what it means to pan for silver?" The shopkeeper asked curiously.
"Before answering your question, I want to first determine one thing, is your inferior tea with three copper plates and one spoonful available in unlimited quantities?" Wearing a hat does give everyone a sense of unfathomable profundity.
According to the rules of the game, not drinking water for two hours will affect combat effectiveness, and if you don't drink water for eight consecutive hours, you will die of thirst.
However, drinking water alone does not have a strong thirst-quenching effect, if you can mix tea in the water, which is the same game resource as the ore, you will achieve an excellent thirst-quenching effect, and the effect of drinking a small sip of the best tea is even better than the effect of drinking a whole tank of water.
Even the most inferior tea leaves can quench their thirst three to five times more than clean water. What's more, the tea that Xiao Er scooped out just now was actually not of such inferior quality, and he just wanted to borrow the beast's drinking utensils to chill this iron rooster wearing a hat.
If you really calculate the cost, then a big spoonful of tea costs two copper plates, and if you only sell three copper plates, there will be no profit at all.
However, in order to satisfy his curiosity, he had to reluctantly choose the route of small profits and quick turnover: "Okay, even if you have three copper plates and a bowl, I will provide you with as much as you want!" ”
"Then prepare me a wooden cart, a large wooden barrel, a wooden spoon, and a bucket of inferior tea, which I need to use to pan for 'silver'!" Takamori unravels the mystery.
"Hehe, you don't want to sell water in the desert, do you?" Shopkeeper asked with a smile, this kind of mobile water vendor configuration is quite common in the game, but how could he believe that a player would risk his life to run to the Taklamakan Desert to sell water......
"That's right, it's to sell water, and it's to sell high-priced water, think about it, so many players who enter the desert to chase down the wine and meat monks, even if their water sources are relatively abundant temporarily, there is always no harm in replenishing them, and when the time comes, I will sell them at a high price, do you think they can not pay for it? Alas, I say, you can't get a whole barrel of inferior tea, right? ”
"High wow, really high! I'm kind of convinced of you, the tea is no problem, it's good to have kung fu, if I also have martial arts, I will learn from you to push a simple water wheel into the desert. If you're lucky, you might be able to meet a wine and meat monk, and that's a great way to get a sense of accomplishment than winning the lottery! Hehehehehe, hahahaha! ”
On the other side, the Jianghu guest who was crowded with a table sent a representative, and politely clasped his fists and said: "I don't know if this friend is interested in traveling with us, when the time comes, we can also buy your water at a high price, isn't it much better than you going to the desert to try your luck and meet the buyer?" ”
Hmph, can't you bring water yourself? This guy is clearly here to guard the bottom. Looking at the appearance of him and his accomplices wearing scimitars at their waists and wearing local services, they can guess that they should be local local organizations, and there may not be any well-known masters.
On the contrary, the two young men sitting at the other table, although they were wearing civilian clothes without the gang logo, Gao Shou deduced from the way they carried the long sword on their backs, and these two were most likely the legendary Tianshan swordsmen.
As the Tianshan faction with the fewest members among the seven major sects, the strictness of accepting disciples is well-known in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that the worst of the swordsmen in the Tianshan Mountains are all on the ground list!
"No, good intentions, it's a pity that I'm used to being alone." Gao Shou politely rejected the other party.
"Hmph, I don't know how to lift!" Although the other party's scolding was very low, it was just low enough for Gao Shou to hear......
Too lazy to meet these idiots, hum, curse all of you when you encounter a sandstorm, and each eats a stomach full of sand and goes to be reborn......
