Chapter 512: Despised
couldn't figure it out, Pang Xiaodou simply didn't want to. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After carefully inspecting the hanging coffin inside and out, he didn't find anything valuable, Pang Xiaodou jumped down from it and landed firmly on the ground.
As for the chicken in the small bottle, since it was not a mission item, it would not be of much help to him, so he naturally wouldn't pay much attention to it and let it fend for itself.
As soon as he followed, Pang Xiaodou rushed to Youkeng City non-stop.
There are two majors that goblins are best at: one is an engineering major that Pang Xiaodou doesn't want to learn at all, anyway, he has already obtained the [Spell Reflector], and he can completely ignore the conditions for the use of engineering props; The other is alchemy, who is very good at making all kinds of strange medicines, as well as the application of all kinds of gemstones.
The last time he was in the city, he had seen a goblin named "Alchemy Mentor Jiang Ke" in the city, according to the goblin guards, almost all the alchemy masters in the vicinity had been his apprentices, so if you are interested in alchemy, you should not go wrong to find him.
And now that he suddenly got the [Endless Rage Mixture Formula] in Gu Won Bird's Cave, Pang Xiaodou has developed a strong interest in alchemy, or it can be said that he has developed a strong interest in the commercial value of the [Endless Rage Mixture].
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, inside the city.
"Young people, there are no shortcuts in the pursuit of truth!"
Alchemy Mentor Jiang Ke had a wrinkled green face, a pair of big eyes with a slight cataract precursor, and shouted to Pang Xiaodou in a very serious manner, "I have seen a lot of impetuous young people like you, and they have still achieved nothing for more than half a hundred years, so I advise you to stick to the rules and obediently practice alchemy from scratch, this is the only way to the peak of alchemy." β
Jiang Ke is already very old, and the sparse hair on his temples and the top of his head have all turned snow-white, but he can't tell how big Pang Xiaodou is, after all, goblins and humans are two completely different races, and their lifespans are not the same.
Therefore, this mentor has the qualifications to rely on the old and sell the old, and also has the qualifications to teach Pang Xiaodou.
And the request he made just now was indeed a bit speculative, and he actually wanted to increase the proficiency of the alchemy major to the 400 required by the [Endless Rage Mixture Formula] in a short period of time, which is an act that many elderly people are not used to, and naturally they will not give him a good look.
Of course, because he is not a human being, Pang Xiaodou's title of "Honorary Citizen" has no special effect on this old man.
"You're right."
In the face of Jiang Ke's reprimand, Pang Xiaodou laughed without any shame, "I'll just ask, you just listen, if you have a way to help me, I will be very happy to offer some gold coins as a thank you gift, if you can't do it, forget it, I just don't know how long it will take to start from scratch, I'm in a hurry......"
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as he said this, Jiang Ke suddenly interrupted Pang Xiaodou, and a slight cataract actually shot a glint from his eyes, and then asked, "How many gold coins are you going to give?" If that's appealing enough to me, maybe I can give it a little thought. β
The Achilles heel of the goblins, the greed for gold coins, even if this old goblin has been buried in the loess to the neck, is not immune!
"Hehe, there's really a play!"
Pang Xiaodou was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, and after a little calculation, he asked tentatively, "What do you think of 200 gold coins?" β
Previously, he had carefully reviewed the requirements for improving the proficiency of the alchemy major, and there were two main ways to improve the proficiency of the alchemy major:
One is to keep doing tasks, all kinds of alchemy side quests, these tasks are very cumbersome, and especially time-consuming, and because of the relationship between reward proficiency, other experience or item rewards are also very small, and the most important thing is that the proficiency is not very much, just a little bit or two points each time, and it takes a lot of energy to improve to 400 proficiency.
The other is to buy some simple recipes from NPCs, and then spend gold coins to continuously buy medicinal materials through the Chamber of Commerce or auction houses to refine medicines.
The amount of gold and energy spent in this process is also not to be underestimated, and the most important thing is that the recipes for the medicines that can be purchased from NPCs are very low-level, and the effects are very chicken, mostly some things that slowly restore health and mana, or can only increase a few points of defense or attack and other attributes.
Seriously, even if such a thing is refined, there is no sales, it is equivalent to smashing it all in your own hands, and it is better to buy proficiency directly with this money, after all, the cost of time is also money, and it is a very waste of time and energy to buy medicinal materials.
"It's only 200 gold coins."
After listening to Pang Xiaodou's offer, Jiang Ke immediately wrinkled an old face and sneered, obviously not very satisfied with the amount Pang Xiaodou gave, but he just twisted the white beard with only a few sticks on his chin and pretended to be cold, and refused to say anything, he was still a face-saving old man.
"That'...... Do you think 300 gold coins? β
Pang Xiaodou finally realized that this old man was not easy to buy, hesitated slightly, and tentatively added 100 gold coins.
"That's only 300 hundred gold coins."
Jiang Ke then pursed the corners of his lips disdainfully, turned around and returned to his faΓ§ade room, and began to pour those unknown medicinal materials and gems into the room, as if Pang Xiaodou did not exist.
This picture is just like the scene of Pang Xiaodou and the goblin prince Gazruvi's repeated "friendly consultations", but the roles have been reversed, and now Pang Xiaodou is the one who wants to be trapped.
But there is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves......
"500 gold coins at a fixed price, you can't give a sentence!"
Finally paused for a while, Pang Xiaodou gritted his teeth and said this number, he really had already made a bloody investment, after all, the [Endless Rage Mixture] had not yet been introduced to the market, even if he felt that he could definitely make money, but the cost was too high to make him a little worried.
"Hehe, just like you, it's not that I Jiang Ke looks down on you, you better practice from scratch, don't be bored."
Jiang Ke's muffled voice came from inside the house, and the smell of disdain was clearly audible even across the street.
"Damn, this greedy old thing......"
Pang Xiaodou already wanted to scold.
But at this time.
"My lord, is it you, you have come to Youkeng City again, why didn't you notify us?"
Suddenly, a few familiar voices came from the corner of the street.
