Chapter 233: Shortage
Ye Kong left the alien area, and walked along the vines or stepped on the trunk of the plant, and it only took a while for Ye Kong to return to the teleportation area with ease.
"Target location, Purple Rain Fortress."
Ye Kong paid the teleportation fee again, and the administrator accepted the gold coins and said with a smile: "Dear Viscount, I wish you a happy journey. ”
"Your wallet is pleasant, right?"
Ye Kong complained in his heart, feeling a little distressed about his own money bag.
From the northern border directly to the central holy city, the cost of a single teleportation alone reached 35 silver coins, and a round trip was 70 silver coins, which was almost enough for one gold coin.
Fortunately, the noble status of the Thousand Circles Tree, Viscount, has a privilege that automatically reduces the teleportation fee by 20%, and the actual consumption is only 56 silver coins, which is considered to be 14 silver coins.
In addition to teleportation privileges, there are other benefits to viscountdom, such as an 8.5% discount on purchases in the directly managed stores of the Thousand World Tree (discounted items are not tradable), lower auction fees, and privileges such as having a campaign ticket.
Wow!
Under the escort of the administrator, Ye Kong stepped into the teleportation array, and after a period of weightlessness, when he opened his eyes again, there was no longer a green forest in front of him, but the familiar snowstorm weather, and the majestic buildings covered in silver, everything was pure white, and there was a faint aura of slaughter.
System Hint: When you enter the range of 'Blizzard', the rate at which your stamina decreases will increase.
"On the other side of the battlefield in the north, the Purple Rain Fortress ........"
Ye Kong looked nearby, this was the teleportation square of the Purple Rain Fortress, and players came and went, either to other areas of the city, or to leave the fortress and retreat to the rear. After all, the North, as the core region of the current plot, is not something that anyone can survive.
Ye Kong's ears moved, and he heard the whispers of nearby players, full of complaints-
"Damn the weather, when is it going to be a head?"
"Hey, if this continues, we won't be able to go out of the city to do tasks, and our military exploits will never be able to improve......"
"Don't look forward to it, I've heard that the blizzard will last for three months, and when it stops, the entire war in the North will be over, hey!"
"Three months....... Come on, let's go buy some hot drinks and get out of town early for our mission. ”
A young player lamented as he opened the auction house, and the next moment, he burst out with a pig-killing howl: "! The price of hot drinks has doubled? 1 silver coin a bottle, why don't they grab it! ”
The female companion next to her saw it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Hey, if you look at the price of igneous rock grass, it has risen to 12 silver coins per group, and a group of igneous rock grass is only 40, converted, the cost of a igneous rock grass is 30 copper coins, and with other leftovers, the refining cost is at least 50 copper coins, not counting the failure rate of the pharmacist." ”
The ID of the female companion is called Xiao Xiaoxin, and her own sub-profession is also a pharmacist, so she is more clear about the refining process of the pharmacist, and she also understands the price of a bottle of hot drinks, mainly focusing on the 'Fire Rock Grass', and the price of the latter directly drives the selling price of the former.
"It would be nice if the price of igneous rock grass could be lowered a little........
Xiao Xiaoxin lamented, but she also understood that this was impossible, not to mention the igneous rock grass as the main material, just as a secondary hot drink recipe, it was fried to a sky-high price in the auction house, a recipe does not have 1 gold coin, don't want to take it, you must know that under normal circumstances, the price of this formula is only 10-15 silver coins.
If it weren't for the fact that the price of the formula was too high, Xiao Xiaoxin would have bought the formula and made her own hot drinks to make money, but unfortunately, the current formula price is too high, and free players can only lose money if they buy it.
"Hey, the effect of the scorching hot drink is only a slight amplitude, and in the face of blizzard weather, it only weakens the effect by half, and our endurance consumption in the blizzard is still 1.7 times the usual level.........."
Xiao Xiaoxin shook her head.
When her young companion heard this, he lamented, "What's the solution? The scorching hot drink is the most cost-effective hot drink, if it weren't for the better temperament of the Canglan Guild, unlike other guilds, the price of hot drinks is as high as gold, how can we afford to buy hot drinks? ”
As he spoke, the young companion's tone said angrily: "The fiery hot drink sold by the Tianyi Guild has a small increase in body heat, which can completely offset the impact of the blizzard. However, a bottle of hot drink costs 3 silver coins, which is three times more expensive than a hot drink! ”
"The duration of both hot drinks is 3 hours, where is the drink? It's just burning money! ”
At this time, another companion also interjected: "Hey, they can't help it, I heard that the recipe of the fiery hot drink is different from other hot drinks, each bottle requires 4 fire rock grass, the cost is several times more expensive than other hot drinks, and the most profitable money is still the collector who sells the fire rock grass......... Damn the hell weather, it's really deadly! ”
The players in the square are probably like this, all the topics can't avoid the weather, and the words are full of resentment and wailing.
"It seems that the whole situation is fermenting........"
Ye Kong shook his head, left the teleportation square all the way, and according to the instructions on the mission, went to the north area of the Purple Rain Fortress, that is, the place where the residential area is.
At the same time, he also took the time to open the auction house, casually flipped through it, and found that the igneous rock grass on it was rarely sold as a 'group', and most of them began to be sold on consignment by 'one', which shows how scarce the igneous rock grass in the entire market is now.
It's just the beginning, as the Northland War continues to approach, players are more desperate to earn the reputation of "Friendliness", everyone is frantically continuing the mission, and the demand for hot drinks is also greater.
At that time, the igneous rock grass will rise to a peak price.
"Wait a little longer, that day is almost coming....."
Ye Kong closed the auction house easily, he clearly remembered that the day before the official start of the Northland War, it would be the peak price of igneous rock grass, and at that time, it was also the best time for him to sell.
Soon, Ye Kong came to the residential area, different from the dirt and filth of the slums, the streets of the residential area are obviously much cleaner, and there are occasional soldiers patrolling by, so there is no need to worry about thieves NPCs.
There are also several players passing by on the streets, and they all undertake military missions in the city, although the rewards are small, but they don't have to go out of the city, and they can be regarded as saving a hot drink money. Of course, the number of such tasks is small, and there are many people waiting for the opportunity to snatch it.
Ye Kong wore a crow mask and did not have a guild badge on his body, but he attracted some attention, but his speed was very fast, reaching a high agility of 50 points, so that others lost his trace before they could see it clearly.
After a while, Ye Kong came to a remote back street, there are only a few NPCs on the street, some are fruit vendors, some are snack vendors, and some sell antiques.
"Hmm...... There he is! ”
Ye Kong glanced at it and immediately found a bald old man covered in bandages in the corner.
So, Ye Kong walked up-
"This gentleman, may I ask you are the ......... of Gusted?"
"The sword will not hesitate!"
The old man suddenly raised his head and interrupted Ye Kong's inquiry.
