137 Running Merchant Route [V Explosion 1 Update]
Carefully placing two wooden boxes full of expensive items on the workbench for processing leather, Sycamore took out the escort route and a map given to him by Captain Werther, which clearly listed the important tips for which goods were to be delivered, which route to take, which villages to avoid, and those dangerous places.
Because the goods need to be transported by vehicles, they cannot take the Xinglin Road to take a straight line through the forest, and must transport supplies around the relatively safe coastline, which is relatively flat and has fewer obstacles.
Therefore, they had to follow a clockwise direction, crossing five villages like Shell Village to reach the city of Ogarus, and returning, they had to go to the other side of the island, passing through the other five villages to return to Shell Village, and it took a whole day to go around the island for a whole week. (See this book for a map of Ogarus Island.)
There are more than two dozen villages on Ogalus Island that are similar to Shell Village, but there are only 10 villages that are close to the Shell Village camp, which means that they can only trade with these 10 villages and have to guard against players from the other dozen villages attacking them.
"It is estimated that we will arrive at Nautilus Village at noon, the closest village to the city of Ogalus, and the most dangerous place, and if nothing else, the distance from the village of Nautilus to the city of Ogalus will be the most likely and violent stage of our attack."
Sycamore's finger drew an arc along the map: "And when we come out of the city of Ogarus, we will carry the largest amount of cash on us, and in the afternoon, from the west coast of the island, passing through six villages, it will be the most dangerous time." ”
In addition to him and Wu, all of them were veteran players who had been on the battlefield for a long time, so Wutong did not formulate any plans and strategies, but simply explained to them the limited information obtained from Sir Dick and Captain Werther, and let the rest be decided by the leaders of the players such as the Blood Lion to avoid the situation of outsiders commanding insiders.
"Except for these two boxes, you will be responsible for transporting the rest of the supplies, and you will be responsible for commanding them. Got it? Sycamore patted the two boxes of valuables on the workbench.
Although I don't understand why Wutong left two boxes not to be delivered, but the Blood Lion still nodded responsibly, before he divided the team according to the strength of the player, and the weaker ones escorted the goods with lower prices, and once something happened to them, they could be abandoned as outcasts.
"Then you can go, Wu and I will meet you at Nautilus Village at noon, and then we will go to the city of Ogarus together."
Sycamore studied the route and found that the location of Nautilus Village was exactly in the opposite direction to Shell Village, that is, directly south of Trial Island, and if Shell Village was located at 12 o'clock, Nautilus Village was located at 6 o'clock, just near the exit at the other end of the Star Forest Road.
They could directly use the Nether circle on the Sea Cliff as a relay, teleport to the teleportation stone he set up on the Star Forest Road, save half the distance, and then hurry directly through the Star Forest Road to Ogarus City.
Yes, that's right, the reason why Wutong dared to put all his eggs in one basket was the Nether Circle of the Sea Cliff, he only needed to store these two boxes of expensive items worth more than 300 gold coins in the Sea Cliff, and then when he arrived in Ogalus City, he would take them out again, an absolutely safe mode of transportation, wasn't it?
This feature is not unique to Sycamore, once the player reaches level 20, receives the outlying island quest, and completes the energy injection quest like him to obtain the Nether core, they can also use the Nether circle to travel between the villages on the trial island like him.
The advantage he occupies is only a little bit ahead of the other players and enjoys this treatment. Moreover, Wutong plans to wait until noon, when little Lori completes her craft skills learning time in "Black Hoof Restaurant" and brings little Lori with her.
Because it is estimated that the journey in the morning will not be too dangerous, and at the same time, they are not the only escort team from Shell Village, no matter what the relationship between the player forces is, after all, everyone is from the same village, and once they encounter danger, they will not sit idly by.
In the afternoon, as the player escort approaches the city of Ogalus, they will pass through a remote island called "Pilita", which is the lair of the largest group of pirates on the island of Trials, and it is impossible for those murderous pirates to watch so many big fat pieces pass by their door. , so it is estimated that the nearly hourly journey from the Nautilus Village, which is the closest to the city of Ogarus, will be spent in the bloody rain.
In the afternoon, they exchanged their goods for cash at the Waujin Temple in Ogarus City, and when they returned from the other side of the Trial Island, that is, on the north shore, they would not only pass through some barbarian tribes, but also pass through the most dangerous "sea sand plains" in the southwest of Ogalus Island!
It is said that there are six strongholds of large pirates and bandit gangs on the Haisha Plain, and that is the most dangerous stage!
Even if you pass through the Sand Plains, the rest of the journey back should not be taken lightly, because if the "Right Lung Forest" on the east coast of Ogarus Island is the territory of the neutral and good-leaning villages, then the "Left Lung Forest" on the north shore of Ogalus Island is the territory of the villages of the neutral-leaning evil camp.
Although the two sides are safe and sound across the Star Forest Road, and there will be no major conflicts between villages, but the neutral camp villages in the evil territory and the neutral camp villages in the good territory often have frequent small frictions, and they carry a large amount of cash passing by there, undoubtedly like a pleasant goat with a pot of hot pot seasoning.
Not to mention, there is a possibility of attacks by various wandering bandits and aboriginal monsters in the forest that may appear at any time during the journey, so Sycamore plans to bring the only "powerful ambulance" in their team, Xiaoxiao, just in case.
Due to the delay in the village, Wutong waved his hand and hurriedly asked the Blood Lion to hurry up and gather his men and horses to set off, and try to arrive at Nautilus Village before noon, because afternoon is the time for the real bloody battle.
When he was leaving, Wutong also specially told the blood lion to kill the blood lion, so that he could use the recovered funds to buy local specialties on the spot after handing over the task items in each village, and try not to run empty cars, because Wutong learned from the "strategy" that the so-called "village mission" is not just to arrange players to "travel around the island", if nothing else, the route for players to complete the mission out of the village is the "business route" for a period of time in the future!
Why did Sycamore take such a big gamble all at once? 300 gold coins said to throw it in? Why do you have to run around every village on the island?
Many players should go to the east coast and return the same way on the east coast, avoiding the player villages on the west coast that are neutral and inclined to the evil camp, isn't it just to avoid risks and increase the chance of completing the mission?
But why does Wutong know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer Tiger Mountain?
First of all, the Waujin Temple is usually a local financing center, currency exchange center, depository, and even a pawnshop, making it an extremely special temple in the world of Endless.
According to the "Raiders", the first player to handle more than 100 gold coins in the Wokin Temple will be eligible for the equivalent of a "VIP customer", regardless of whether you believe in the goddess Wokin or not.
For in the teachings of the goddess Waukin, it is written:
Business transactions are the best way to get rich. If we can manage to increase the economic circulation of the whole world, then we can further develop all civilizations and bring happiness to all intelligent beings in the whole world. Thou shalt seek to break down all barriers to trade, and thou shalt not destroy the goods of trade, nor should thou shalt spread malicious rumors to disrupt the economic activities of others. When you hear any unsubstantiated rumours that are detrimental to the promotion of trade, you should immediately come forward to refute such rumors. Thou shalt give to a beggar with the money at your disposal, or invest it with that money—for the more money people have, the more likely they are to trade it instead of hoarding it. If you wish to know the way to get rich, then you should revere Waukin. Thou shalt guard thy possessions, which is also a way of glorifying the goddess, and thou shalt use them wisely for greater rewards in the future. If you recite her name in your dealings, then she will guide you to greater good. The bold find wealth, the careful keep it, and the cowardly can only waste it.
"Whoever uses money is my follower!"
This "bold statement" of the goddess Waujin seems a bit arrogant in the world of "Endless", which has countless gods, but in fact, in the official records of "Endless", although the goddess Waujin is not a very powerful god, she is the god with the most believers and the most temples. The goddess Waujin is indeed the only goddess in the "Endless" god system with many gods and intricate relationships, and who has few enemies and is not rejected by other gods, this situation makes her priest very proud to say this, which is said to be the words of the goddess:
"There are no enemies in front of the gold coins."
As a spellcaster, Wutong is destined to become a bitter "bank teller" in the future, which leads to him handling a large amount of money, earning it with one hand, and then spending it with one hand, and this kind of thing, it is nothing to use in a small area, once the use area spans too large, the voucher is no different from a piece of waste paper, but he can't carry a large amount of currency with him to ensure the use, and the game currency in "Endless" is also a burden, right?
So at this time, there is a need for a financial unit with high reputation and easy access to the money, and what is more suitable than the Vorgin Cult?
However, saving money in "Endless" is not like a real bank, and there is still interest, players need to pay them a storage fee to deposit money to NPC institutions, the amount is about one-tenth of the value of the stored items and money, and "VIP customers" can enjoy discounted treatment.
Therefore, the "VIP customer" treatment of the goddess of Waujin is very favorable to the Sycamore, miss this opportunity, and then want to get the "VIP customer" qualification of the goddess of Waukin, you have to rely on donating a lot of money to the Wojin Temple to be able to get, which is why the Sycamore invested such a large amount of capital at one time, and risked putting all the eggs in one basket to take risks.
After arranging many things, Wutong took the strange Wu, half a cigarette and the pastoral brothers, and busily began preparations in the village, and while there were still a few hours until noon, Wutong asked half a cigarette to go to the shell plain to urgently buy 1,000 toads.
Then he and Wu started the crazy peeling again, and it took more than an hour to peel 1,000 [perfect] quality toad skins, as well as the same amount of toad clothes and toad crisps, to Wutong's surprise, because he learned the butcher's [decomposition] +6, [anatomy] +6, [deboning] +6 craft skills, because of the [co-effect] effect of the three skills, plus the craftsman's overalls +1 and the boning knife +1, this made his craft get a total of +5 skill level bonuses!
In the process of processing level 11's [Decomposition], [Anatomy], and [Deboning], he obtained additional materials on the toad: Toad Bone, Toad Brain [Perfect], and Toad Tongue [Simple].
Because the toad bone is a useless scrap, the level 0 [deboning] skill can be obtained, regardless of the moment, the toad head [perfect] copper coin, toad tongue [simple] copper coin bar, plus toad skin, toad clothes, toad crisp, a total of 57.4 gold coins of income!
In addition, Wutong also obtained 34,000 toad bones, and each toad provided him with an average of 34, which was the first time he knew that the original toad bones were 34
Looking at a pile of stripped white Sensen, there were still scarlet bloodshot toad bones, Wutong suddenly remembered the bone eater ring on the middle finger of his right hand, didn't he say that he had to "feed" 100 bones of the ring every day? Now it seems that this ring is not too difficult to maintain, right?
Wutong felt embarrassed and stretched out his right hand, and compared his middle finger to the large number of toad bones, only to see the rusty black iron ring carved with a skeleton's upper and lower jaws, and the fanged skull mouth opened, revealing a pea-sized black swarthy hole, as if a black hole produced a strong suction, sucking a large number of toad bones on the ground, and they were stunned by the half of the cigarette and the pastoral brothers next to them!
Wutong was also taken aback, he thought that the Bone Eater Ring would only "eat" 100 bones, but he didn't expect that this guy would not refuse to come, and swallowed all 34,000 toad bones in one go!
It seems that in the future, you can't let this ring go "eat", you have to reserve some bones in case you don't have time to [debon] it as "feed" that day, otherwise, you forget to feed it that day, it gnaws a piece of its own bone, that's not fun, you say that the bone on the human body is useless?
After the Bone Eater Ring swallows bones, it has an additional attribute:
Bone Eater's Ring [Curse +1]: Spell Damage +10, Bone Storm [Level 0], Bones [33900], Supernatural Ability [Corrosive Stomach Pouch], Supernatural Ability [Corpse Eater], Special: Cannot be removed.
"Huh? Can bones be saved? "Sycamore is so surprised, if this is the case, the 34,000 toad bones that have just been swallowed are enough to feed the Bone Eater Ring for a year, listening to what the butcher Besrode said is so scary, Sycamore still thinks how dangerous it is. At this moment, Wutong was still a little worried that he accidentally forgot to feed the ring to eat bones that day, and his bone would not be guaranteed, but now he suddenly settled down and hurriedly took out the materials that took more than an hour to process and sell them.
For Wutong to sell the skins again after an interval of less than two hours, the tanner Old Jill was happy and had a headache: "Apprentice, it seems that you can't process skins so crazy anymore, the level 0 thin skins I purchased here are already in stock, and the problem now is how to process them into finished products and sell them, why are there so many trialists in the village, but no one is willing to buy some equipment that can protect themselves?" ”
Sycamore is sweating, isn't this that everyone still hasn't had the money to be able to buy equipment in the NPC shop? Don't look at the stores that sell [ordinary] quality "white clothes" and "store sizes", but the prices are more scary than the other, and I have never seen the price unit below gold coins.
At present, ordinary casual players, before they don't have [craft] skills, if they purely rely on doing tasks and working to earn money, after more than two days of game time, they can save more than ten or twenty silver coins in their pockets, which can be regarded as thrifty and thrifty, and it seems that only after the "mission out of the village" is over and players have more ways to obtain game currency, these NPC shops in the village will have customers.
In addition, Sycamore estimates that Sir Dick's plan to ask the NPCs in the village to lower the standard of apprenticeship and increase the number of craftsmen in the village may not be opened until the end of the village mission
Thinking of this, Wutong couldn't help but be stunned, didn't he have a lot of competitors at that time? Should I do something to prepare?
While thinking to himself, Wutong asked Old Jill, "Well, Mr. Jill, do you still buy these toad skins?" "If Old Gil doesn't buy these toad skins that he urgently processed, it will be a bit of a problem, and he is still waiting to raise money to do the preparations.
"Okay, I'll buy this batch first, but for the time being, you don't want to process toad skins, your skills should be honed well, and you should process more and more advanced skins, right?" Old Jill put away the leather while chattering, and at the same time gave the sycamore a slip.
Wutong this is called a depressed, he finally found that the higher the level of craftsmanship, the greater the value of the seemingly useless level 0 monster of the toad, it is simply a treasure all over the body, and he is planning to do a big job, while no one has competed with him, he rolled up a sum of money fiercely, and as a result, the old Jill was unwilling to buy because of the unsalable toad skin that was purchased.
Coming out of the leather shop, Wutong went to the apothecary store by the way, and quickly found the apothecary Barr to sell the toad coat, toad crisp and toad brain, and toad tongue, and went straight to the grocery store with nearly 50 gold coins, and spent 3 silver coins to buy 10 palm-sized clay flat bottles:
Flat Flask [Pottery]: A container fired in clay with a stopper, with a capacity of 500 ml, price: 30 copper coins, weight -
