Chapter 35: Dealers and Pick-uppers
After entrusting the [Bear's Fur] to Lutia, the future NPC master tailor, Rococo took Chu Jiajia all the way to the most prosperous section of Lancarlos City, that is, on the trading avenue where the Lancaros Center Auction House is located.
When he was in Xilan Town before, in order to quickly upgrade Rococo, he took Chu Jiajia and the two of them to team up to brush up on level 10 elites and wild mini-bosses. Despite the dangers, the end result was quite rich.
Not only did the experience increase rapidly, but the two of them also brushed out a few good level 10 equipment, except for two bronze outfits that the two of them could make do, the rest of the equipment was thrown by Rococo to the central auction house in the city on the day they came to Lancarlos City, ready to use these equipment in exchange for their "start-up capital" after level 10.
Even so, in fact, the seller of Rococo does not know how much money these equipment have been exchanged. This is also one of the major criticisms of the Lancaros Center auction house, which is affiliated with the official auction house of the system, after the seller's goods are deposited in the auction house, even if they are successfully sold, the seller outside will not immediately receive the money or know the final transaction price, but must go to the auction house in person.
In fact, in the later stages of the "Redemption" game in the previous life, many private auctions operated by the player's power grabbed business from the original official auction house of the system, and would implement real-time transaction arrival business in their own auction house, that is, after the seller player consigned the item was successfully traded, the player could not go to the auction house to receive the money, but directly deposited the money directly in the seller's player's warehouse through the special staff they hired in the game through the player's mail. However, in the early stage of the game, the game currency and real currency have not yet been exchanged, and the player forces in the game obviously have no strength to operate such assets, so the official auction house of the system such as the Lancaros Center Auction House is also a monopoly, even if there is such and such an inconvenience, but players can only choose to trade here.
But fortunately, after getting the money today, Rococo planned to use them in the auction house to exchange for some good equipment that she and Chu Jia could use, so it was not too troublesome.
The two came to the bustling trading avenue, the sight of people at a glance, and even for a moment Rococo had the illusion that he was not in a game but in a bustling commercial street in reality - of course, as a digital life, she naturally did not experience what it was like to walk in a bustling commercial street, but there are definitely a lot of realistic photos like this on the virtual network.
Although there were a lot of people when they came here yesterday, they weren't as many as they were today, and sure enough, after a few days, the player army had already begun to fully enter the main city.
Looking at the photos on the Internet and the actual personal experience are two different things after all, looking at the huge crowd in front of her, Luo Coco instantly felt that this place was more fearful than those wild boss haunts in a sense, and for a while, she completely lost the domineering feeling of taking Chu Jiajia, a rookie, all the way to the boss in the wild, but really like a small village girl who came to the metropolis from the countryside and felt a little overwhelmed.
But at this moment, Rococo felt a warmth in her hand, and it was obvious that the person standing next to her was holding her hand. Rococo, who originally thought that Chu Jiajia was comforting herself and was a little moved, turned her head, but was surprised to see that the girl standing next to her actually showed an even more unbearable appearance than her.
The face is a little pale, and the cute face that usually reveals a lively vitality has turned into a pitiful and timid look at the moment.
"Cocoa, coco...... There are so many people here......"
Eh, this sick girl, who are you?!
As if realizing Rococo's surprise, Chu Jiajia showed a very embarrassed smile to her.
"Hey, hey...... I, I've never been to a place with a lot of people like this, so I'm a little uncomfortable, I'm worried, I'm just a little scared all of a sudden, no, it's okay, it should be good to get used to it, probably ......"
Rococo couldn't help but be a little puzzled, she got along with Chu Jiajia in the past few days and knew Chu Jiajia a little, with her cheerful and lively personality, in reality, she should definitely be the kind of beautiful girl who can easily make friends in school life, and often be able to hang out together, but she didn't expect that there would be a crowdphobia, which is generally more common in people with house attributes...... And she said she hadn't been to a crowded place like this......
Although I was a little curious about Chu Jiajia's somewhat contradictory character attributes, Rococo didn't ask much in the end. And for some reason, after seeing Chu Jiajia's rare weak look, Rococo, who was also a little flustered, calmed down inexplicably.
Immediately afterwards, the cowardly Chu Jiajia felt that her hand holding Rococo was slightly held by the other party, and the girl turned her head and saw that her beautiful teammate, who usually always looked cold, showed her a shallow smile with cute contrast and cute dimples to her.
"It's okay, Jiajia, I'm with you, let's go."
"Uh, oh......"
This was because of Rococo's smile and Chu Jiajia, who was inexplicably a little stupid, was the only voice she could make, and when she realized it, she had already been pulled by Rococo into the crowd and walked towards the most densely populated trading house in the square.
Well...... I don't think I'm so flustered......
Pursing her lips and looking at her hand that was tightly held by Rococo, Chu Jiajia felt that her heartbeat was a little fast for a moment, and then she immediately blushed and put her other hand on her chest, but her steps were much more steady.
Soon, the two of them came to the trading house, and after finding an empty trading position, Rococo called up the system interface of the trading house, and quickly collected the money from selling equipment.
Well...... Sure enough, after reaching level 10, silver and gold quality equipment began to slowly flow into the market, and the bronze outfits that used to be considered high-end equipment in the novice village began to slowly become worthless......
"Coco, isn't the equipment selling well?"
Chu Jiajia, who was looking at Rococo very seriously on the side, immediately read a trace of depression in Rococo's expression.
"Okay...... It's not as good as it seems, but it's not unacceptable. ”
After all, she still has a bit of a time advantage, and if these bronze outfits are sold today when players have already settled in the main city in large numbers and silver and gold quality equipment has further flowed into the market, I am afraid the price will be lower.
After registering the potion formula and the gold-level shield battle gauntlet that Chu Jiajia got from the box just now, looking at the price of the two items, especially the gauntlet, was immediately fried by the local tyrant players who didn't know where they came from, and Rococo's mood instantly improved a lot.
"Jiajia, do you prefer to use a long sword or a short sword?"
Rococo asked, manipulating the interface and starting to look for the swordsman weapons that were currently being auctioned on the market.
The two professions of swordsman and assassin are somewhat special in terms of weapons and equipment, although they are professions that can be equipped with dual weapons, but swordsman and assassin are not like other dual-weapon professions have a distinction between main and off-hand weapons, and the weapons equipped with the two hands can be exchanged at an equal price.
Swordsmen can use one-handed swords and short swords, in comparison, one-handed swords have a stronger attack power and a longer attack range, while short swords are fast in attack, because there is no main and off-hand weapons, swordsmen can often match the type of their two-handed weapons according to their own habits.
But for a rookie like Chu Jiajia, the ability to judge the suitability of weapons by herself is obviously something she doesn't have now. Therefore, even if she was asked by Rococo like this, the swordsman girl just looked at Rococo with a cute look, and expressed that she was very cute and that she didn't know anything with practical actions.
But Rococo had expected this anyway, and only asked symbolically. The standard weapon combination of a swordsman is a long and a short coordinated sword, and Chu Jiajia now has a level 1 + 3 bronze short sword that Rococo bought for her in the novice village to make do, so Rococo also quickly narrowed down the search criteria to a one-handed longsword above silver quality, and after some screening, Rococo cleanly auctioned a silver quality one-handed sword with good attributes at a fixed price.
Chu Jiajia, who was sitting on the side, watched Rococo's slender fingers like a work of art draw on the trading interface, and soon a beautiful-looking one-handed sword appeared in her hand, and then Rococo handed her the one-handed sword.
"Jiajia, take it, this sword should be enough for you to use level 15."
"Well, thank you Coco~"
Seeing that Chu Jiajia seemed to be very satisfied with this good-looking and practical new weapon, Rococo smiled and turned off the trading interface, and then stood up.
"Huh? But don't you have to buy yourself weapons and equipment? ”
"There is no money for the time being," after saying this, seeing that Chu Jiajia, who was holding the newly bought one-handed sword in his hand, his face immediately became guilty, and Rococo hurriedly continued, "And I didn't plan to buy it, the reward for this task we are going to do next is a gold-quality longbow, that is my purpose, so I will buy you good equipment first, and the next task will rely on your output, Jiajia." ”
"Uh-huh, I see!"
Hearing Rococo say this, Chu Jiajia finally stopped feeling guilty, put away the long sword and nodded seriously.
The two of them walked out of the trading booth and began to prepare to leave here to take over Rococo's mission, but just as the two were about to walk out of the trading house, suddenly a discordant whistle sounded.
"Yo he, I'm lucky today, I saw such a high level of big beauty when I went out, and there were two at a time."
With a flirtatious tone and voice, several players who looked good in equipment and were also very high-spirited stopped in front of Rococo and Chu Jiajia, who wanted to go out.
Chu Jiajia's little face suddenly showed a look of helplessness and panic, obviously she had never thought that she would encounter this kind of thing, let alone what to do, but fortunately, Rococo is not an ignorant little girl like Chu Jiajia, although she has no experience of being forcibly accosted by a frivolous man as a beautiful girl because she was a digital life before, but at least she will not be exposed by the other party's indecency as soon as she opens her mouth. Frightened by trivial malice.
The first time he took a small step forward and pulled Chu Jiajia behind him, Rococo's delicate little face, which usually didn't have much expression, was even more cold at the moment, and he looked at the young man in front of him who was a spirit spell master without any emotion.
"I'm sorry, but we're in a hurry."
So, please don't bother us, okay?
