Volume 1 Never by a Sword Chapter 22 A New Beginning

"Guest, it's here."

Tu Shi sat in the carriage and was admiring the loot he got from fighting the boss last night. He admired it for a long time, but he couldn't appreciate it enough. It was a shiny round purple and red bronze medal, just the right size to hold in the hand, with a red rope perforated and a mark engraved on the card: two vertical circles running through it. The mark was filled with red paint, and the red was festive.

Hunting Talisman: An amulet that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Orion family, and is rumored to increase hunting. When killing monsters (Normal/Elite/Boss/Rare Elite/King), the experience gain is increased by (0.5/1/1.5/2/3%), the drop chance of rare materials is increased (0.5/0.5/0.5/0.5/1%), and when you cross a challenge of level 5 or higher, the above value is *2 (it can be taken effect when placed in a storage bag).

This should be what Chai Hu fell when he was young, when he encountered a "water ghost", damn it, a good thing! The stronger the monster you fight, the more additional benefits you get, which is really worthy of the name "Hunting Talisman"! In comparison, the experience points that I can't get after I overflow after level 10 are trivial, and I don't need to take them seriously!

"Guest, it's here."

Tu Shi couldn't help but take out the "toad ghee" and admired it again and again. The Toad King willingly squeezed out (don't ask how, he didn't want to remember the scene) a large jar of ghee as a gift along with the Hunt Talisman. Although Tu Shi did not kill the Toad King, the gain was no worse than killing it directly, and it was a loss and a gain.

"Guest! I'm going back to the post station and waiting for the next trip! ”

The coachman finally got impatient and lifted the curtain to glare at Tu Shi. Only then did Tu Shi remember that it was time to go to the nearest big city, Yibei City! He quickly apologized and got out of the car, but the coachman's face was still very unsightly, and the whip was deliberately crackling, and he turned around and left, and scolded the horse pulling the cart for being a stupid animal. Strictly speaking, this is not a professional coachman, but a postman responsible for delivering letters between post stations, in ancient times, it was a temporary worker hired by the government, and was not responsible for escorting civilians, but the Holy Emperor was so gracious that any "strong man" who left the village and went to the city to change jobs could get a chance to pick up and drop off for free.

There is only one chance, and I heard the postman say that after that, if the player has no official status and no king's order, he is not allowed to use the post road transportation, and without a map, it is almost impossible to return to the novice village where he was born. This is exactly the same as many online games.,Missing the novice village boss is missing it forever.,It's impossible to expect to leave the novice village boss unbeaten.、It's impossible to come back when the level increases.。

But fortunately, Tu Shi is more meticulous in his work, and everything that should be explained has been explained. He once again agreed with the Toad King that the monsters and humans would not invade each other, and the Toad King would block the water vein connection between the Black Water Pool and the well in Tai Shin Uk Village, so that the villagers would no longer suffer from toad toxins; At the same time, the Toad King provided Huo Xiang with "Toad Ghee", although it could not be supplied in large quantities, it was enough to be used alternately with realgar, so that the poison of realgar was minimized. There is no mention of the player in the agreement. If the player wants to kill the Toad King, the Toad King is free to fight back.

And Fang Feng, a woodcutter who was carried away by resentment, was executed by the village rules and regulations, and the villagers came forward to expel him from the village, and he could not come back for the rest of his life. Everything has rules, that's good.

Putting away his thoughts, Tu Shi looked up at this big city-Yibei City. Yibei City is also considered to be southerner in Jingzhou, why it is called this name, and the post man who does not have much ink in his stomach is not very clear, vaguely saying that there are many people from the north who live here, maybe they miss their hometown and call it "Yibei". Because the post guard let people down a mile outside the city gate, Tu Shi was fortunate to be able to observe Yibei City from a distance. The city wall stretches for a few miles, and there is a red flag that looks like a fingernail on the wall, and there are red flags the size of fingernails on the wall; There is only one city gate in the city wall, and the area of the city gate accounts for one percent of the city wall, and many pedestrians, chariots and horses are constantly walking towards the city gate, and the rules are in order, like ants in a queue foraging for food. The road is nine zhang wide and can accommodate five or six carriages in parallel, but the city gate seems to be as wide and narrow as the road, and in terms of proportion, it can be seen that Yibei City is indeed a large city.

Maybe it's for the player's business, many NPCs set up stalls on both sides of the road, some write letters, some sell tea, some sell food, some play monkeys and sell plasters, etc., etc., all kinds of teachings and nine streams are everywhere, and they really attract a lot of people. Tu Shi was curious about everything, so he looked over one by one and walked around this temporary commercial pedestrian street. The goods are dazzling, and they are much better than the late sales of the merchants. Although the workmanship of the goods sold in the late season is rough, it is cheaper, and the villagers of Daxinwu Village can only afford to consume the cheap goods.

Thinking of this, he misses the novice village a little.

There are sabers to catch fast patrols. They walked in pairs, sometimes standing in front of a certain stall and talking as if no one was around, saying things like "why set up a city outside the city" and "the adults are kind-hearted, but pity the common people", and the stall owner would naturally secretly give a few coins of silver. Tu Shi can see that this is collecting protection money. Those who have taken history classes know that in ancient times, there were special places to set up workshops and cities, which were managed by special personnel and could only be opened at specified times.

But then again, only setting up a workshop and a city in the city is clearly stipulated by the law, so why dare to change the way in the northern city? Is it the Emperor's will?

Suddenly, Tu Shi found that there were many people in front of him, and he thought to himself, what kind of task is there? So I squeezed into the circle to take a look, and saw the two catchers standing in front of the two stall setters with cold faces, not talking, and not walking away, and the two stall setters didn't seem to see the catcher. The stall on the left, dressed in a dirty orange robe and black boots, lies on his side (not too dirty), bends one leg, supports the ground with his elbow, and the free hand takes a straw hat and fans his face; The stall on the right is wearing a dark blue robe, wearing black shoes, meditating cross-legged, with his hands imprinted on his lower abdomen, closing his eyes and meditating, or sleeping during the day.

Tu Shi rolled his eyes: two fools who refused to pay protection money and thought they were handsome.

Everyone has the heart to join in the fun, so there are more and more onlookers, all of whom want to see how to clean up the thorns. The older catcher coughed quickly, and a stall owner next to him hurriedly got up, leaned next to the lying man, bent down and said, "Big brother, you can't be unruly!" ”

The man simply turned over, put a straw hat over his face, pillowed his arms on the back of his head, lay on his back, and erlang's legs were erected, and the tip of his left foot was tossed and turned in disgust. His muffled voice came from under the straw hat: "I also want to abide by the rules, but I haven't done a single business in three days." ”

"Alas!" The kind-hearted stall owner slapped his thigh and had no choice but to lean next to the cross-legged meditator: "What about you? You've always heard of 'harmony makes money', right? ”

The man still closed his eyes and replied coldly: "No one cares, and I can't do anything." ”

Didn't make a profit? Tu Shi became interested in what the two of them were selling, and looked down:

In front of the left is a red cloth with a pile of colorful metal fragments. What the hell, collect the rags?

On the right side of the front is a green cloth with several objects on it: a yellow gourd with a piece of lacquer in the east and a layer of skin in the west, a clay cup with a notched cup, a pair of black wooden chopsticks, and a set of white porcelain dishes with a spoon. Ah, this is selling old goods?

When Yibei City ushered in the first batch of players and was the most rich, one of these two people collected rags and the other sold old goods? What about teasing me? He decided to ask for a price, first asking the one on the right: "Hey, how do you sell this thing?" ”

The cross-legged meditator has a strand of long hair hanging down on each sideburn, and the rest of the hair is combed back and tied in a high bun, and then the long hair is spread behind the head, tied with a green ribbon that is not loose or tight, and the posture is plump. He listened to the question, turned his head to Tu Shi, and slowly opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he was just a man who was as warm as jade, but after opening his eyes, everything was different, his eyes were sharp and clear, as if he could see through the deepest secrets of people's hearts at a glance, and it seemed that people had nowhere to hide: "Priceless." ”

"Priceless?" Tu Shi was stared at until the pores of his whole body constricted, and he was stunned for a moment: "How much are these things worth?" ”

"Utensils have a price, but the avenue is priceless."

"Damn, I don't know what you're talking about, no wonder you can't do business. What about you? Is it priceless too? Tu Shi asked the one on the left again. Anyway, I asked them all, and I don't care about asking one more.

The one on the left never showed his face, and while scratching the outside of his thigh indecently, he replied, "Of course my thing is valuable." ”

Tu Shi stared at the pile of metal fragments, unable to see why, and asked casually: "How much?" ”

The man asked, "How much money do you have?" ”

Tu Shi looked at the storage bag and said casually: "Six silver and four bronze." ”

"This pile of stuff is worth six silver and five bronze."

"Ah, why is it so expensive for such a copperβ€”no, you sit on the ground and start the price." Tu Shi was happy, this is also a guy who doesn't want to do business, how can anyone have to ask for another copper on the customer's entire net worth? He turned his head and asked, "Who lent me a copper, I see if he sells it?" ”

Tu Shi was joking, and the straw hat also smiled: "If you borrow a copper, this pile of things will be worth six silver and six bronze." Sixty or six Shun, good intentions, hurry up and buy it. ”

Some people who watched the excitement coaxed: "Hey, you guys are cooperating to cheat money, right?" "Cheating even a penny? Do you want to be ashamed? ”

Catching Kuai finally couldn't hold it back, and waved the scabbard to drive Tu Shi aside, and he didn't know that these grades were "?? "How many levels of the guy, Tu Shi is completely powerless to fight back. The older catcher said solemnly: "You two are completely here to make trouble, get out of here, don't occupy the pit and don't, how many people want to set up a stall here and can't ask for it!" ”

The man on the left removed the straw hat on his face a little, revealing one eye, and was very dissatisfied with the catch: "Hey, it's rare for a customer to ask the price, don't you spoil my business, okay?" ”

The man on the right closed his eyes again, and the aggressive feeling disappeared without a trace: "I have made a bid, but unfortunately you can't afford it." How much is a priceless thing worth? ”

"Alas, I said you're the one who makes trouble, how can people buy priceless things? If you fart, no one wants to buy it, can you also claim to be priceless? The man on the left reproached the person on the right dissatisfied, and then squeezed his eyes at Tu Shi, his eyes were completely different from the person on the right, not aggressive, but cheerful. This is a pair of smiling eyes, and his mouth covered by a straw hat must be grinning: "My goods are different, as long as you add an extra penny to your full net worth, not much, just a penny, you can buy them all." ”

The man on the right pursed his lips and smiled with a sneer: "Article after article, endless, you must know that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants." ”

The man on the left laughed, and it was directly sarcastic: "Your priceless commodity is simply a cake to satisfy hunger, you can see it but you can't eat it, who cares about you?" ”

"Enough!" The catcher is finally angry.
