Chapter Eighty-Three: The Castle Lord's Secret
With a mortar and a pestle, we came to a life and professional goods store in the main city that looked very large in scale and was very freely decorated.
I have to say that the life profession of this game is indeed a popular way to play, which has three categories: pharmaceutical, forging, and food; Each category is subdivided into two parts: raw materials and finished products.
For example, pharmaceuticals have collection occupations and production occupations; Forging is divided into mining, weaving, and forging; Food is divided into fishing, hunting, and making.
If you want to say that the most popular food here is probably food, they can use various ingredients to make a variety of foods that are not only delicious, but also can restore qi and blood mana or add buffs, which is quite popular with players. Think about it, when everyone else is taking the medicine bottle, is it very dignified for you to take out a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork?
Due to the low threshold and high return of life professions, many players who don't like to fight and kill will choose a life profession of their choice to join, and then abandon the level equipment and concentrate on improving their professional proficiency, and then make better products to sell.
Speaking of which, it must be mentioned,It is said that there is a guild on the forum that claims to focus on life and occupation for 20 years is hype,This guild does not accept anything except life professional players,And focus on finished product production,After all, some of the raw materials can be collected by other players,There is no need to train specificallyγ
Many players who are obsessed with life professions have gone here, after all, improving proficiency in the early stage of life professions requires a lot of raw materials, and it is very expensive to burn, and it is difficult for ordinary people to afford it.
The influx of a large number of talents has allowed this guild to control a large share of the business in the market, and the products involve various professions, which is really a lot of money.
While pondering, we have entered the supply store.
The business here is really hot, and there are players everywhere who come to buy professional props, and I wonder if I want to find a profession to join.
After glancing around, the size of the brute bull showed an advantage in the crowd: "This way! I saw a counter selling mortars! β
At that moment, the brute bull opened the way with his flesh, and the five of us squeezed to the counter that the brute bull said.
"How many of you want to buy something?" After greeting the two players in front of him, the NPC waiter behind the counter quickly turned his attention to our small group that seemed to be in need.
Pulling out the mortar, I opened my mouth and said, "I want to ......."
"Oooh! I know! I know! The waiter immediately understood, turned around and took out a bunch of medicine pestles from the counter machine and threw them on the counter, and kept saying: "Come on, come on, you're here today!" Today's discount is a big reward, buy a medicine mortar and send a medicine pestle, and buy a medicine pestle to get a random low-grade medicinal material. Check it out! You are polite to me, tell me which one you like, and promise to give you the lowest price! β
I was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I don't want this ......."
"Don't want this?" When the waiter heard this, he immediately took out a bunch of medicine pestles of larger size, and placed them on the counter with a clatter, and his mouth still didn't stop like a cannon: "Then look at this batch, the batch just now is really not in line with your temperament." You see these are carefully selected, both the size and the feel are first-class good, the current inventory is this, you want to start as soon as possible, the next batch you can wait! β
"It's not ......" I'm full of black lines, why doesn't this guy give people a chance to speak, and where did he learn this mouthful of Beijing films?
I took out the mortar and put it on the counter along with the pestle, and said, "Look, I already have a set of this......
"I'm sorry, but once sold, we can't return or exchange items!" The waiter glanced at it and said immediately.
So he at least admits that it's what he's sold.
"Listen to me first, I'm not here to return or exchange the goods......" I glanced at the waiter helplessly, "You sell this thing here, right?" My friend asked someone to identify it before, and said that this thing is not used by ordinary people, can you tell me who can use this thing? β
"Oh?" Hearing this, the waiter picked up the medicine mortar and carefully screened the medicine pestle for a moment, and said: "Indeed, judging from the materials and workmanship, it is indeed not an ordinary product, and it should be used by some people with status in the main city."
"Status? For example? "It seems that this guy is still a bit dry, I continued to ask.
"For example, the group of pharmacists under the city lord, they like to use tools of this material the most, after all, the public funds don't care what you say, right?" The waiter was sure and said, "I suggest you go over there and ask."
I turned my head to look at Violet, she nodded at me, I turned to the waiter and said, "Okay, thank you, handsome!"
"You're welcome! Just take care of my business! β
After leaving the supply store, I said to Violet and the others, "According to what he said, are we going to illegally infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion next?"
"Sneak in," Violet rolled her eyes, "that place you can go in if you want?" Aren't you afraid of being caught and stripped naked in the streets? β
"It's not that exciting, is it...... So do you think there will be *? β
Violet ignored me and continued, "The City Lord's Mansion should be controlled by a group of demonic beasts that are inherently hostile to humans, not to mention that this mission seems to involve a big secret.
Therefore, I think it is necessary to arrange for one person to go in separately, so that the other party will not be suspicious, and even if it is discovered, the loss can be minimized. β
Speaking of which, everyone couldn't help but look at me.
I shuddered in my heart, they had let me out again......
"Since everyone agrees to this method," I said, pausing in my throat and looking at Violet with their encouraging eyes, "then I'll ...... Recommend Shatma Chanhu to complete this task! β
Everyone: "......?"
"Hey, are you mistaken?" Shatmachan Fox said with a twitch on her face: "This task is obviously the most suitable for you, okay?" Aren't you a traitor to humanity? Then this side should be considered your maiden home, and it is most suitable for you to go. β
"Correct, that thing was system-imposed." I was unmoved, "Although I came to finish it with my hands, you young people should be given some opportunities to exercise." Besides, aren't you a professional liar? It was a no-brainer to get a few uncivilized orcs. Go ahead, I'll cover you in the back. β
Violet was full of black lines, and just as she was about to say something, she was stopped by Shatmachanhu, "Cut, don't you want to announce your personal vendetta?" Shatma Chanhu said disdainfully: "I'll go, I'll go, it's a big deal."
As she spoke, Shatma Chanhu turned her head and left.
Looking at the back of the departing fox of Shatmachan, Xiao Zhengtai said with worry: "Brother Gua, are you too cruel like this...... She's a kid too......"
"Cruel? Save you! I sneered: "This little girl has been rolled in the pile of liars, she has deceived more people than you have lost, you have time to worry about her as much as worrying about the group of orcs, don't be too honest, tell her where the ancestral grave is."
ββ¦β¦β
About two hours passed, and the four of us were already bored and itchy, and just as Violet and the wild cow Xiao Zhengtai made a bet that a few stabs could stab me to death, Shatma Chanhu came back.
This saved my life, and looking at Violet's look of pity, I hurriedly walked over to the fox of Shatma.
"Kid, it's hard work!" I smiled all over my face, "How's the mission done?" Are there any injuries? Did the orcs ever do anything strange to you? β
Shatma looked at me warily, staring at me with a warning look as she walked around me to the violet side.
"How's it going? Did you hear anything? Violet asked casually.
"It went very well." Shatma Chanhu nodded, "The orc apothecary told me that their city lord is working on a potion that can be combined with magic to turn humans into magical beasts, and Little Red Riding Hood should have inadvertently broken their experiments, so he was pulled away and became an experiment." β
"Is the information reliable?" I leaned over and said, "You're not letting people fool you, are you?" Can such important news be told to you so easily? β
Shatmachan Squinted at me and said, "You and I are as idiot as you are, I can't tell if the news is true or not?"
I immediately became angry, and I picked up the staff and was about to fight with her, but unfortunately Violet stopped me with her eyes and dagger.
Shatma Chanhu glanced at me gloatingly, turned to Violet and said, "After I entered the City Lord's Mansion, I first managed to find out the location of the apothecary, and then pretended to break into the house unintentionally, and there happened to be only one big-headed orc who looked stupid and cute in the house. I pretended to be scared, but it came to comfort me and told me not to be afraid, they love humans.
Of course, I didn't believe it, and I began to confide in it after pretending to calm it down. I told it that both of my parents had been killed by the human army, so I defected to the Freedom Fighters. Then it started reassuring me again, telling me that there would be no more humans here to bully me, and then I said that I hated the appearance of humans, and that it would be nice to have a way to turn into a monster. β
Speaking of this, Shatma Chanhu wiped a handful of spit from the corner of her mouth, and we also took the opportunity to wipe the saliva on her face, and listened to her continue: "Speaking of this, it has become vigilant again, but continues to comfort me, telling me that there is always a time when things will be resolved, so that I should not be in a hurry." As soon as I heard what was going on, I almost kicked the door when this stupid thing was holding back.
I had no choice but to continue the offensive of hatred, and the description of humanity as extremely hateful resonated with it, so it inadvertently said that their lord was conducting a secret study, and that he would not say anything about it anyway, only telling me to be patient, and that it would not be long before there would be no more humans and beasts. β
