Chapter 152: The Secret of the Demon Forest
Worms aren't going to die, are they?
Zhang Yi had never seen the worm, but when he heard its faint voice, he knew that this guy must have been seriously injured. It said that it was seriously injured, so it was definitely not an ordinary serious injury. Because with its personality, if it is only a small injury, it will definitely slap a swollen face and become fat, this guy wants to save face very much, and will never admit that he is injured.
Zhang Yi also got a very important piece of information: this guy is not an ordinary war pet. If it is seriously injured, it is a serious matter. In this way, it will also die. However, Zhang Yi is not sure if it can be resurrected like other war pets if it dies.
The strength of the insect Zhang Yi is very clear, and it can make it hurt so badly, it is definitely a very perverted power.
Although the insect explained very seriously that he must not go to the Demon Domain Forest, Zhang Yi still went. He wanted to know the reason for the bug's serious injury.
But he wandered around the Demon Forest for almost an hour, walking back and forth on the map, from south to north, from east to west. Nothing unusual was found. Even the strange aura I felt when I inadvertently passed through the Demon Forest last time I couldn't feel it.
Zhang Yi has always been sensitive to dangerous touches. And his sense is usually precise. But why is this time so strange? Not a day before and after, it was clear that there was a mysterious threat a day ago, and even the insects felt it at that time. After that day, the aura of menace vanished without a trace.
Although he couldn't find any clues, Zhang Yi was sure that there must be some big secret hidden in the Demon Domain Forest. As for what this secret is, it seems that it will only be known after the worm recovers.
The worm was injured, and he didn't have the heart to level up. However, he remembered that he had promised to prepare a set of equipment for each member of Hongyan, and when he returned to Starlight City, he would only go to the auction house. In addition to the merchant profession, you can hire NPCs to set up stalls and hang up machines to do business. Other pro gamers usually don't run to hang up on their own, but instead choose to throw their items to be sold at the auction house for consignment.
The auction house will charge a list price for each item (this price is usually very low, for example, the price of the Hades in Zhang Yi's hand is only 10,000 gold coins). ) as a consignment fee. If the auction is successful, the system will automatically deduct 5% of the transaction fee as a handling fee and transfer the balance directly to the player's warehouse account. If the time limit is up and there is no successful transaction, the auction house will automatically return the consignment item, and the consignment fee will not be refunded.
Therefore, usually 95% of the items are thrown by the player to the auction house for disposal. Only a very small percentage of players who have practiced the life skills of a merchant will set up stalls in places with high traffic. If you set up your own stall, you don't need to pay any fees. If you hire an NPC merchant to set up a stall, in addition to paying the fee for hiring a merchant, you will also have to deduct 2% of the transaction amount. Of course, if you set up a stall, you can not only sell things, but also collect things.
It took Zhang Yi more than half an hour to find more than twenty weapons and equipment with barely vested attributes from the auction house, except for the level 25 warrior ring with a +3% experience point effect. All the rest was sent to Zhang Jing. There is so little equipment in this game, especially the best equipment. In this district, the Hongyan Trade Union, the Blue Trade Union, and the Tianxia Trade Union ...... There are also free and idle masters who are directly affiliated with the Winged God World Trade Union but have not joined any gang for the time being, counting it, there are almost four or five hundred people in the entire Hongyan family. If everyone sends out a set of equipment, it is absolutely impossible to buy it. The only way to do that is to build it.
Blacksmith skills are required to craft weapons. Crafting gear requires tailoring skills. However, crafting so many weapons and equipment will require a lot of materials, which of course can only be acquired. Trained miners and craftsmen, almost all the materials for crafting can be mined. But it's all up to you to dig on your own, and you have to dig until the year of the monkey. However, the acquisition of materials requires the skills of a businessman.
What a headache.
I'll have to find a few more people to help. But at this time, everyone is busy leveling up, who has the leisure time to practice life and career, and waste time and energy to build hundreds of pieces of equipment? If Zhang Yi opened his mouth, the people who were willing to serve would form a long line, and they would not be able to line up from the east gate of Starlight City to the west gate. But who to look for? The more familiar friends are all professional masters, and not so familiar. Zhang Yi didn't want to owe favors. After weighing up, he finally settled on the two best candidates.
When he was just about to find those two guys, they actually sent a secret message at the same time.
"Master, where are you?"
"Master, I have something to look for you. ”
Hey. These two boys really have a tacit understanding. Zhang Yi smiled, then opened a chat room, and then pulled the two stinky boys in.
"You two. Something to say. ”
Wolf Yan Qianli said: "Master." You're going to have to do me justice. ”
Justice? It seemed that the situation was a little serious, so Zhang Yi said very seriously: "Is it that Teng-A's people are bullying you?" ”
Wolf Yan Qianli said: "No. Ever since you spoke, Master. The people of the Demon Emperor are honest. Without the support of the Demon Emperor, the little Teng-A can't even beat Tianxia, what big waves can it turn over? ”
"So what's the matter?"
"It's all junior ......"
"What? You're the junior brother! The Holy King rushed to say: "Master didn't say who is the senior brother and who is the junior brother, why do you call me junior brother?" ”
This is really funny. Zhang Yi said: "You two won't just compete to be senior brothers, right?" ”
Wolf Yan Qianli immediately slapped a sycophant: "Master is wise!" Master, you are doing justice. I started earlier than him, should I be a senior brother? ”
The Holy King said: "Master obviously announced that he would accept us as apprentices at the same time, why are you a senior brother?" ”
Zhang Yi suddenly had a headache, accepting these two apprentices, I really don't know if it will be the biggest failure in his game career!
"Alright! You two don't make a noise. ”
As soon as Zhang Yi spoke, the two immediately quieted down.
"I'll give you two a task, and whoever completes it first will be a senior brother. ”
"Master, what task?"
"What kind of life occupations do you all practice?"
The Holy King said, "I am a miner. ”
Wolf Yan Qianli said: "The tailor I practiced." ”
Zhang Yi said: "Little Sage, I'll give you 120,000 gold coins." For all the materials used to craft level 20 equipment, you can collect 15,000 copies of each of them for me. Little wolf, I'll give you 50,000 gold coins. You collect 5,000 copies of each of them, and you can also practice your tailoring skills to level 2 or higher. Whoever finishes first is the senior brother. ”
"Wow. Master, this is too hard, isn't it? Can you come up with an easy question? "Wolf smoke is more slippery, for such a difficult task, it is simply an amazement + fear! And the true colors of the Holy King just said one word: "Good! ”
"The gold will be credited to your warehouse account in ten minutes. If you have time to complain, you might as well think about how to complete the task. ”
After retreating from the chat room, Zhang Yi transferred the gold coins directly to the accounts of the two of them. Then Zhang Yi thought about who to find to practice blacksmith skills.
When playing the novice city, Zhang Yi sold 5 million gold coins to Hao Wenjing. Later, he sold several superb items at a live auction. knocked Zhou Yan again, and made a big bamboo bar, and he also earned three or four million gold coins. But at that time, he transferred all the money to Gu Xiaoyao, Tang Hu and others to develop a gang. He didn't leave much of his own. Occasionally, he hit a few small masterpieces and sold them at the auction house for some money, and he himself was only three or four hundred thousand gold coins. It took 50,000 or 60,000 yuan to buy more than 20 pieces of equipment and weapons from the auction house and transfer them to Zhang Jing, and now it has cost another 170,000 yuan. Now Zhang Yi only has more than 10,000 left......
It seems that before finding someone to practice blacksmith skills, you have to find a way to make some money.
It's a pity that the insect guy was injured and hid, otherwise it would have been a boss. And the explosion rate is very high, it has a lot of treasures, and just take a few pieces out and sell them to easily solve the problem of money. But firstly, the worm is injured now, and secondly, he doesn't want to rely on a bug. It's okay to knock on the bamboo pole in a joking way, if you have to rely on a bug to help him make money. Then he's a game ghost who screams in vain.
Before entering the big map, there are actually very few projects that can make money.
Take people through the task, the money comes too slowly. He is not the head of a gang now, and he has no territory. Nor can it be profitable to gain from the territory. Selling equipment is not the best and worthless. The little best products have been sold, and now only his artifact remains. And a light-chasing bow that he didn't need. But no one in this area can come up with a starting price. Of course, there's another way, which is to farm monsters. It's the stupidest thing to do. This is usually the case for people with an IQ below 30.
Now, there are only two ways for Zhang Yi to make the most money in the shortest time. One is to take advantage of his dual life career, as for how to use it. It is still up for debate. Another way is to resell goods. The so-called reselling of goods is to go to the auction house to pan for gold. Buy back some valuable goods at a low price, or have room for appreciation in the short term, and then sell them off. Of course, this is risky. Because the value of the product may depreciate rather than increase, there is also a 5% handling fee. So if you want to make a lot of money from reselling goods, you must have an incomparably accurate vision!
However, Zhang Yi's current capital is too small, and he can only resell some worthless things when he resells goods. Worthless things have too little profit margins. It's better not to do it. Thereupon. Zhang Yi decided to invest the more than 10,000 gold coins in developing his dual life and career advantages first.
Zhang Yi ran to the mercenary guild and rented 8 miner NPCs and 8 artisan NPCs at a daily rent of 10 gold coins each. Then he remembered that there was a book of identification in the warehouse. So I rented 3 appraiser NPCs at a price of 200 gold coins per day.
Note: The daily rent price of the farmer NPC is calculated in silver, but the daily rent of the NPC for other life occupations is as high as 10 gold coins, and that is because the farmer NPC is the cheapest of all the NPCs. One of the reasons is that farmers are not able to bring in income directly. Instead, you need to train levels, then clear the wasteland, and harvest wood, flowers, and food through various planting tasks. Other class NPCs are paid to provide services to the player through their skills. The second reason is that the number of peasant mercenaries is tens of thousands of times that of other professions. The other six professions, except for the number of merchant mercenaries, are still barely there, and many other professions are found in the entire mercenary union. It is absolutely rare for Zhang Yi to be able to rent 8 at a time. In addition, appraisers do not belong to the seven major life professions. No player can cultivate the Appraiser class, so the Appraiser Mercenary is more expensive and has fewer of them. Zhang Yi rented 3 land, and he was already a mercenary of the entire mercenary union.
With such an expensive daily rent, the possibility of losing money is much higher than the possibility of making a profit. But Zhang Yi is very confident. It will be a long-term way to make money. Not to mention that it is in the partition, looking at the world map, it is estimated that there is no second person who can cultivate both the miner's divine alchemy and the craftsman's ultimate polishing technique. The direct effect of the combination of these two skills is to directly refine a piece of freshly excavated rough ore into a perfect ore! If the fee is reasonable, it is easy to spread the word. No one will practice these two skills again in the future. And so on...... The prospect of profits is getting more and more lucrative.
As for the appraiser profession, an appraiser mercenary with a junior appraiser qualification can identify the unknown and hidden attributes of any ordinary item, as long as the fee is a little cheaper than the NPC of the system, this is a naked monopoly! This is the only one, and there is no semicolon. Hell if you don't make money.
Except for the peasant mercenaries, the other NPC mercenaries can only be rented on a daily basis, so Zhang Yi spent 14,000 gold coins to rent all the mercenary NPCs on hand for half a month. Then he was left with only 23 gold coins. Now he's poorer than an average gamer.
At dinner, the women talked about Zhang Yi's recent performance in the game has become more and more ingking. Although everyone except Yang Bing was more or less resentful about why he had concealed his identity for so long, all the women were extremely happy. Especially Xiang Yue, not only did she lose her temper at Zhang Yi, but occasionally quarreled with him. It's also like flirting with lovers.,It feels like a lot more intimate.。 When eating, I also sandwiched a lot of dishes for Zhang Yi.
Zhang Jing said with a smile that no one would believe that the interstellar emperor would go to such a little-known small studio and get a salary of 100 yuan a week.
Mingyue said innocently: "Brother Yi." Since you are ingking, you are worth so much. The eldest sister definitely can't afford such a high salary, and the 100 yuan is not in your eyes. Otherwise, you can donate the 100 yuan as our studio's logistics fund. ”
Zhang Yi hurriedly said: "No! No way! I'm a real super poor. Now I only have 23 gold coins left in the game, and as for the pockets, ......" Zhang Yi opened his trouser pocket. took out a handful of fragmentary banknotes, then counted them, and said, "It's exactly 23 yuan." If I lost that 100 yuan salary, how would I live? ”
Zhang Jing felt incredulous and said, "Zhang Yi, you won't really be poor like this, right?" ”
Zhang Yi devoured his meal and said, "I never care how much money I have, as long as I have enough to spend." When I need money, I'll have it. I don't need money when I do. That's what it looks like now. So for me, it doesn't really matter if you're poor or not. ”
Xiang Yuemei showed a sly gaze in her eyes and said with a smile: "What if we want you to have a supper tonight?" 23 isn't enough, right? So where do you go to get the money? Hehe, let's be honest, we won't lend it to you. Of course, if you're stingy and want to refuse to invite a few of our big beauties to supper, then I have nothing to say. ”
Zhang Yi took a few big bites of rice fiercely, and said vaguely: "I'm stuck...... Good...... And ......"
Xiang Yue said: "What did you say?" Please, haven't you eaten in years? Is it okay to swallow the rice first before talking? ”
Zhang Yi greedily swallowed the food in his mouth. Then I took a few more chopsticks and rolled the vegetables into my mouth. Wipe the oily shiny mouth and say, "Wow." The eldest sister's craftsmanship is really getting better and better. Whoever marries the eldest sister in the future will be really blessed. ”
Zhang Jingyan smiled and said, "Stinky boy." Even my sister dares to be poor! I just asked you about Yue, but you haven't answered yet! ”
Zhang Yi said: "Oh. I just said, I still have a little money in my card, I don't know where you want to go for supper? If it's not very expensive, I should pay it back. ”
Xiang Yue smiled slyly: "At least you have to go to Huatian." Or maybe Greater China. ”
Zhang Yi asked, "Are Huatian and Great China things expensive?" ”
Xiang Yue chuckled, "It's not very expensive, it's not very expensive." "She's just waiting to see Zhang Yi make a fool of herself.
How do you know that Zhang Yi said a sentence that he wanted to die or not live: "It's not very expensive, I only have a few hundred million in my card." If it's too expensive, you can't afford it. ”
Xiang Yue almost fell off the stool, his mouth opened bigger than an egg: "Several hundred million? ”
Zhang Yi said lazily: "I don't know if it's enough for you to have a supper?" ”
Xiang Yue was so angry that she bounced up from the stool and said angrily: "Hundreds of millions can eat you to death!" ”
"Brother Wing, look!" Mingyue suddenly pointed to the TV that was broadcasting the news and screamed in panic.
Zhang Yi and Xiang Yue immediately ended the fight and paid attention to the content of the news.
"At three o'clock this afternoon, the man's body was found and thrown in the back alley of a bar, with dozens of knives in his body, and his flesh and blood were blurred......"
When Xiang Yue saw the corpse in the TV screen, she exclaimed, "Qin Huan? ”
