Chapter 38: The Drug Crisis
After saying goodbye to Master Ou Yezi, I came to the teleportation point and teleported to Huazhi Shennong City.
As soon as I walked out of the teleportation array, I was taken aback by the popularity of Shennong City. Although Huazhi Shennong City is also one of the top ten main cities in China, because Huazhi Shennong City is in its domain, the general strength of monsters is not very strong, and there is naturally not much experience, so it is not suitable for players to level up and play treasures.
But thirty years of feng shui in turn, since the peerless update, the system has gradually let go, and the pharmacy no longer supplies unlimited drugs, in a game, what drugs represent, I think everyone is naturally very clear. Of course, Shennong City, which is famous for its pharmaceutical raw materials, has naturally become the new favorite of many players, and Shennong City, which has always been neglected, has become a hot place overnight, and countless players have flocked here to pan for gold.
I worked hard to turn around the commercial street of Shennong City, but I was extremely disappointed to see the scene, like the Imperial City, all the pharmacies were lined up with players, and its unprecedented scale would definitely not be much inferior to the Imperial City, and even worse, it might be even more popular.
Thinking about my empty storage space, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I didn't think that my Lone Xinghan also had such a day, and was actually stumped by a few red medicines, although I learned alchemy from Mr. Hua Tuo, but first, there are no raw materials, alchemy Danding, and secondly, with my current primary 0% alchemy, if I want to refine enough medicine I need, I don't know if it is the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, then don't think about doing anything, alas, far water can't dissolve the near fire.
Just when I was at a loss, a voice rang in my ears. "Hehe, this swordsman, are you worried about medicine?" The voice is very polite, but it sounds a little gloating.
In search of prestige, I saw a fat thief not far to my left, showing me what he thought was the brightest smile, a pair of fat hands beckoning to me, his fat body trying to break through a fence between us.
Although the distance between the two of us was not very far, the fat thief had a hard time coming, and a little bead of sweat appeared on his bright and glowing forehead, sweat, which is too exaggerated.
Finally, the fat thief came to me, and said with a flattering smile, "Hehe, hello, let me introduce myself first, my name is to serve the people, I am a helpful little thief, mainly to help a big man like you, do some small things, hehe, look at your appearance, that superb equipment, hehe, I think you must not be a simple person, a big man like you, how can you put your precious time on such a small thing as buying medicine?" Hehe, so I recommended myself and was willing to share your worries and solve problems. ”
"Can you help me buy medicine?" For such profiteers, I am too lazy to deal with them, and I directly inserted the question and asked.
"Hehe, of course, my credibility in serving the people is extremely high, don't believe you to ask other people, as long as you have dealt with me, who doesn't call me a way, enough righteous hehe, although the medicine is tight now, but as long as you can afford to pay, sir, there are still things." As he spoke, the fat thief's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, it seems that this guy is also the material of a profiteer.
"As long as there is the goods, money is not an issue, but I ask to get the goods now, is this okay?" I asked bluntly, although I knew that I had met a scalper, but as he said, I really didn't have that much time to spend here buying medicine, and time was quite precious to me.
Hearing my words, the people who served the people smiled even more flatteringly. "Hehe, a big man like you, how can I not do my best, it's just that there are not many goods now, and you know that there are really few things now."
"Twice." I said coldly.
"Haha, uncle, no problem, I'll help you go to Zhangluo now, why don't you go to Baiwei Building on the first floor of Shennong to sit first, and I'll help you go to Zhangluo now?" Hearing my price, the fat thief couldn't stop laughing, and after asking me how much I needed, he quickly burrowed into the crowd, which was much faster than just now, and it was like two people, Khan.
Baiwei Building, the first building in Shennong City, is located on the east side of Shennong Square, the building is three floors high, the shape is simple and simple, although it is a little different from the famous buildings in the other main city in terms of momentum, but its artistic conception is not bad at all, and has strong local characteristics. Sitting in the building, you can see the statue of Shennong standing in the center of the square through the window, the lifelike shape, I don't know which master's handwriting.
At this time, there are still a lot of guests in the building, looking at their appearance, their status should not be low, each person has a few pieces of superb equipment, and they should be regarded as two people.
After finding a window seat and sitting down, I ordered a few side dishes, and I patiently waited for the medicine to be delivered to the people.
For my arrival, everyone didn't pay special attention, because this is not my strongest equipment, although the equipment is considered to be upper-class at the moment, but it is not very conspicuous in this group of people, so except for a few people who looked at me a few times, everyone is still doing what they just did.
In the hall on the second floor of a dozen tables, there were almost 7 or 8 tables of people, most of them were adventure teams of 7 or 8 people, it seemed that they wanted to go to Shennongjia to pan for gold, I heard that the price of rare raw materials is very high now, since now that killing monsters is no longer explosive, then these original treasure hunting teams naturally turned their attention to this new source of wealth.
However, there are still two tables of people who caught my attention, one table is a man and a woman two players, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, both of them are from the elf clan, and the woman is a mage, looking at the exquisite magic wand at hand, I know that this thing is definitely not ordinary, at least it is a treasure-level item. And the female mage's pale blue magic robe is definitely expensive. And that man, dressed as an archer, the price of his equipment is no worse than that of the female mage, although he did not fight the other party, but I always felt that he was very powerful, definitely a powerful character, and his momentum was even more powerful than the hundred steps I had met.
And the other table that caught my eye was a single guest like me, he was very silent, sitting in the most remote corner of the restaurant, if it wasn't for the seat I was sitting in to see him, I would even miss him, look at the equipment dress, he is a swordsman, but the swordsman equipment is tattered, compared with the people around him, it is a bit out of place. But all this is not what attracts me to him, what really attracts me is the faint death aura on his body, although it is faint, but I can feel it clearly. Looking at him, the lonely and cold feeling is simply the same as me more than half a year ago.
Perhaps noticing my gaze, he glanced up at me, then at the glass in his hand.
"What does that gaze mean?" I kept asking myself, was I alone? Is it cold arrogance? Is it disdainful? Or something else? I don't know, I can't see through his thoughts in his eyes, for the first time, I became curious about a person for the first time.
At this time, the sound of players going upstairs came from the stairs, and then the fat body of the people came up, and after seeing my position, the fat man walked towards me with a smile.
"Haha, uncle, I finally got what you wanted, are you satisfied with it?" As he spoke, the fat man placed a large bag of things in front of me.
Open the burden and take a look, yes, they are all high-grade medicines, it seems that this guy is really a little capable, he got so many good medicines so quickly, he really can't judge people by their appearance. I took out a handful of gold coins and handed them to the fat man.
"Oh, there are a lot more uncles, I serve the people and do business is about credit, and I can say whatever price is good, but I can't charge you more." I really don't think about it, the fat man is quite principled.
"Sit down first, I still have something to ask you, and the extra is your reward." I said lightly, and as I spoke, I put the medicine in the baggage into the ring.
Perhaps because he was well-informed, the fat man was not surprised that my ring could hold so many medicines, but he had more and more respect for me, and that respect came from the heart, and it was a reverence for the strong.
"You're familiar with this Shennong City, right?"
"Hehe, fortunately, I am a small businessman, and I often travel between several big cities in the west, although I can't say that I know everything, but thanks to my many friends, I am still well-informed." is worthy of being an old Jianghu, and his words are not leaky.
Nodding, I continued to ask, "Do you know where the blood pool in Shennongjia is?" ”
"Blood pools? I don't think I've ever heard of this. The fat man thought for a long time and said helplessly.
"What? Haven't heard of it? How is this possible? "I'm really surprised this time, Huatuo's predecessors obviously told me that there is a pool of blood in Shennongjia, but how can this serve the people not know? NPC characters don't deceive people, especially NPCs like Hua Tuo, could it be that the blood pool is very hidden and has not been discovered by players?
"Uncle, wait, I'll ask one of my friends first, maybe he will know." Saying that, the fat man immediately sent a message to his friend.
After a while, his friend sent a message back, seeing the fat man's appearance, I knew that this was definitely not good news, sure enough, the fat man said with a regretful face, "Uncle, I'm sorry, my friend doesn't know about this blood pool, I don't think I can help you, but you might as well go to the mercenary union to try it, maybe there will be news there." I can't take this money, so please take it back. "As he spoke, the fat man put the extra money in front of me.
"Take it back, you deserve it."
Seeing my expression, the fat man knew that he had met the God of Wealth today, and after thanking him a thousand times, he also left quickly.
"Alas, I can't imagine that there is such a thing, it seems that you have to endure a little longer." With a slight sigh, I also stood up and walked downstairs, glancing at the swordsman just now, I didn't expect that in this short time, the table was already empty. What a weird character, the peerless is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
