Chapter 70: Southbrook City after the war
After queuing for more than half a day and paying twice the entrance fee than usual, Yang Rui finally entered Nanxi City.
After entering the city, he went to the old store where he had been staying, but this time they were disappointed because there was no room left. The store is also sorry for the old customers. He can't blast out the guests who have already settled in, no.
And I learned that not only this store has no rooms, but also that there are no rooms in the inns of all sizes in Nanxi City. There have been too many forces pouring into Nanxi City in the past few days. It was crowded with all the inns in Nanxi City.
In the end, the guy helped them and found a few houses. Although the conditions are a little worse and the price is higher than usual, at least it will not be on the streets. Of course, the guy mainly wants to earn a tip. received Yang Rui and them several times, allowing him to earn a lot of extra money.
Dude is also a snake on the ground. After helping to find a place to live, Yang Rui simply handed over the task of finding Xiaodouzi to him. Xiaodouzi has no fixed residence, and now Nanxi City is in a mess, so it is still convenient for the locals to find it.
……
After finding a place to live, Yang Rui immediately went to Fang City. Now Luoyu Island is still waiting to be rebuilt, and time cannot be delayed.
As soon as he entered the Fang Market, he found that the current Fang Market was even more lively than before the Sea Beast Tide. Before the Sea Beast Tide, some of the old spirit islands themselves had a lot of reserves, unlike Luoyu Island, which needed to purchase everything. But after the war, it was different, no matter how much of the foundation was consumed, it needed to be replenished as soon as possible.
There are many people, but the shops in Nanxi City are limited, and the goods in the stores are also limited. Yang Rui asked many stores one after another, either the goods were sold out or the reserves were too small. It has been a few days since the sea beast tide, they are already late because of their injuries, and many forces have already taken the lead to buy out the things in Nanxi City.
Most of the day passed, and after paying twice the price before, Yang Rui bought less than one percent, and his face was full of disappointment. Seeing the current situation in Nanxi City, he knew that it would be difficult to buy all the things he needed here. If you want to buy what you need, you can only go to other spirit islands or the dark market.
The shortage of materials was something that Yang Rui did not expect. In addition to the loss of a lot of monks in Nanxi City, the city's ability has not been damaged, and the market and shops have not been affected, so it is said that there should not be a shortage of materials.
However, they used Luoyu Island as a reference, ignoring the damage to other Spirit Islands. Whether it is the old Lingdao or the Lingdao secretly controlled by several major families, the losses suffered this time are not small. In particular, some resource-based spirit islands suffered greater losses this time, and many resources were interrupted from exploitation.
The supply of the fang market in Nanxi City depends on these resource-based islands. But now the resources produced by these spirit islands have been destroyed, mining has stalled, and other resources are needed for restoration. As a result, the goods in each store could not enter and exit, and the resources of Nanxi City fell into a scarcity.
Of course, the major families and other forces in Nanxi City must have sufficient supplies in their hands. But Yang Rui has no way. Last time, I took the risk of using Zhu Yan Dan as a stepping stone, but this time I didn't have it.
……
Most of the supplies in Nanxi City are in short supply. Whether it is spiritual materials, elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, etc., they have all been snapped up. But there are two kinds of supplies that are very sufficient.
One is the carcass of sea beasts. The only thing that many Spirit Islands want to recover is these sea beast corpses. Every force wants to replace these sea beast corpses with spirit stones as soon as possible, resulting in an oversupply of sea beast corpses in Nanxi City now, and the price has dropped again and again, which has dropped by several percent compared to before.
There are a lot of sea beast corpses on Luoyu Island itself, so naturally there is no need for these sea beast corpses. These sea beasts can only cheapen the merchants. Buy it at a low price now, and after this period of time, you can sell it at a high price and make a lot of money.
The corpse of the sea beast is not needed on Feather Island, but there is another thing that is urgently needed, and that is slaves.
The slave market in South Creek City has always been hot, and many times it is in short supply. But now there is a situation of oversupply, which makes Yang Rui very surprised. But after a little inquiry, he understood.
After the tide of sea beasts, each force has many sea beast corpses in their hands. This is also the only thing that many forces can exchange for spirit stones. But there are also some forces that are not so lucky, although they have withstood the attack of the sea beast, but the results are average, and there are not many sea beast corpses in their hands. At this time, they wanted to recover, and they didn't have anything to exchange for spirit stones. Then there is only one way to go.
That is, to sell the ore veins in hand, resources or to sell people. Selling veins is short-sighted, and not many forces will choose it. At this time, it is logical to sell people.
Previously, the source of slaves in the market of Southbrook City was mainly defeated captives. But now it's more complicated, there are slaves that were bought before and are now being sold, there are those who sell retainers, and there are those who secretly capture the island's dwellings for sale. In order to restore the Spirit Island, for the sake of the Spirit Stone, some forces have already done everything.
It's not that no one is aware of this situation, but now this situation is busy with their own affairs, and no one is idle. And for the forces that need slaves, as long as people can use them, no one really cares how they came about.
It is rare to meet so many slaves, and Yang Rui will not let go of this opportunity. Now the slaves on the market are not only much more selective, but also much cheaper.
He was not a saint, and he did not want or be able to inquire about the origin of the slaves. All he could do was to choose more suitable slaves and make their lives on Falling Feather Island better. Anyway, there is a serious shortage of people on Luoyu Island now, and it doesn't matter if there are more. Since the supplies have not been found, the remaining spirit stones may as well buy more slaves.
This time, he did not choose ordinary slaves, but focused on some slaves with special talents or high cultivation. It was a rare opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it.
Not to mention, after some selection, he did find a lot of suitable talents. And the price is only half of the usual price.
The supplies were not bought, so it would be worthwhile to bring some more people back.
……
When Yang Rui was shopping in Fang City, the guy also found Xiaodouzi.
Xiaodouzi has been quite moist during this time. Since he was a child, he has been in Nanxi City since he was a child, and he knows how to protect himself. He had already been hiding when the sea beast tide came, and he had just come out in the past two days.
Now Nanxi City is overcrowded, there are many people who hire tour guides, and his business is much better, making him a lot of money.
When he heard that someone was looking for him, he immediately guessed that it was Yi Han. Although he has been doing well these days, he is also worried about Yi Han in his heart. He was not harmed in Nanxi City, but he didn't know what happened to Yi Han's Luoyu Island.
After finishing the business at hand, he hurriedly rushed to Yi Han's residence.
