73 Trade Markets and Craftsman Areas

Happy New Year and Happy New Year's Day!

This book is now officially on the shelves, and now update the first chapter and summon the monthly pass! On the 17th of New Year's Day, the monthly ticket has doubled, so don't hide it! The main drama begins.

Under the leadership of the NPC officials, Qin Xiaobai left the barracks in the north area of the walled city and came to the south area of the walled city.

Due South is a trade bazaar where the entire walled city and the surrounding population of nearly 10,000 NPCs trade. It is an open-air bazaar that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. There are no shops, so the NPCs of the tribe bring their surplus items here and sell them in the open air at the stalls in the market.

It's early in the morning, and it's time for the tribe's NPCs to gather early, and many artisans and farmers are bringing their products to the market in exchange for what they need. Early in the morning, there are already hundreds of nbsp; Qin Xiaobai walked all over the market and looked at all the goods on the current market.

There are many types of goods, mainly stone tools and items obtained from gathering and hunting, such as stone axes, stone hoes, and stone mills; pottery bowls, pots and other pottery products, linen cloth, cloth clothing; animal meat, fish, animal skins, animal bones; wine, li, millet, rice, wheat, sericulture, hemp, melons, fruits, vegetables; Horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, pigs, etc., are expensive. A pound of grain sells for 2 copper coins, and a cheap ordinary horse for carrying it can be sold for as much as 200 copper.

Copper coins can be used here, or you can exchange items of equivalent value with NPCs, as long as they are willing to accept the items.

Although there are many things, there is a lack of what Qin Xiaobai can afford.

Qin Xiaobai asked the NPC official as he walked, "Is there an upper and lower limit for the rise and fall of prices here?" ”

NPC officials smiled: "No, the less the more expensive." The more you have, the cheaper you are. When the harvest is abundant, the millet is cheaper, and when there is a shortage of grain due to natural disasters, the millet is much more expensive. Especially when it comes to war, everything is expensive. Last year, Lin Lei's Great Chief fought against a large tribe in Shanjung. The price of grain has almost doubled or tripled, but fortunately there has been no shortage of grain recently, and now it has dropped again. ”

Qin Xiaobai nodded secretly, and the market trading price was floating. Then the profits are naturally high, and there is naturally room for price manipulation. The premise is that you have enough capital to control the entire market and suppress competing NPCs and other players at the same time. Otherwise, this price manipulation is in vain. At most, you can only earn a few small bucks by hard work.

In addition to the large number of local NPC buyers in the trade bazaar, they specialize in buying all kinds of raw materials, wood, stone, and so on. Most of these buyers were workshop owners in the walled city, and they needed large sums of raw materials to make handmade products.

The purchase price and quantity of these purchasers also differed slightly, with 10 units of fish for 23 copper coins, 5 units of wood for 0.91 copper coins for 0.91 copper coins, 1 unit of silver ore for 0.91 copper coins, and 1 unit of copper ore for 0.91 copper coins. (Collecting silver and copper from the Starter Map is raw ore, not a negotiable currency.) The current game system uses copper coins as the general equivalent currency. There are no silver or gold coins for the time being. )

Qin Xiaobai brought some grain, wood, silver, and so on from the novice map, which were directly stored in his resource bar and could be taken out at any time. There are 3,567 units of fish, 1,350 units of wood, 313 units of stone, 237 units of silver ore, and 213 units of copper ore.

Of these resources, fish must not be sold. The NPC farmers and warriors of the tribe have to eat it every day. They are not intended to be sold lightly until new food sources are obtained. As for other resources, such as wood, stone, copper, silver, etc., they are temporarily useless, and wood is the least useful.

Qin Xiaobai went to the NPC merchant with the highest purchase price and sold 1,000 units of wood to the buyer in exchange for 200 copper coins.

These 200 copper coins can be exchanged for 1 ordinary horse.

If you want to buy some more bows and arrows. It's a lot worse.

Qin Xiaobai calculated for a moment, if the resources in his hands could not be used reasonably for a long time, then these materials would be in vain, and it would be better to sell them cheaply first. I can't bear the wolf and have no investment. It's hard to get a return. He sold the remaining wood, stone, copper and silver mines to buyers. Another 628 copper coins were exchanged, so that there are 928 copper coins in total.

Theoretically. Qin Xiaobai did not suffer losses in the transaction. Because compared to the players who came to this walled city later, he sold these resources at the highest price. When the highest-bidding NPC buyer has collected all the required resources, it will stop buying and leave the market. Later, players can only sell to the lower price to the lower price; The more you sell, the less valuable the resource is. Prices are likely to rise until when resources are scarce.

Qin Xiaobai spent more than ten minutes walking around the market, not taking a fancy to the goods he needed.

Then, he planned to go to the workshop area to see the situation in the workshop area.

The NPC officials were suddenly informed by the guards of the city that a new player patriarch had come to this walled city with his clan, and the little officials hurriedly said goodbye to Qin Xiaobai, and hurried to the Executive Yuan where the big chief was located to welcome the new players and introduce new players to the walled city.

Qin Xiaobai was stunned, he had only been in this tribe for more than an hour, could a new player come to this tribe so soon? It seems that the number of players entering the strategic map in the next two days or two will increase significantly.

He didn't pay much attention to it and continued to the craftsman's area in the west of the walled city.

In the craftsman area, all of them are large and small earthen house workshops and warehouses. There are hundreds of them, and the number of NPC craftsmen has reached nearly 1,000. These workshops are privately owned by the workshop owners. These workshops include stone tool workshops, bronze workshops, bow and arrow workshops, leather workshops, armor workshops, ceramics workshops, textile workshops, halberd workshops, copper sword workshops, herbal medicine workshops, wine workshops, agricultural tool workshops, bamboo slip workshops, fishing net workshops, sericulture workshops, dye workshops, wax oil workshops, pepper workshops, stone grinding flour workshops, etc., there are many types. However, the various techniques of the workshop are still in the Bronze Age.

Qin Xiaobai walked to several of the workshops and asked about the situation.

The workshops here sell all kinds of handmade goods directly, and they also buy large quantities of raw materials directly. The price is basically the same as that on the market, except that there is an extra batch price here, which is a little lower than the price of a single piece.

I took a look at the selling prices of bows and arrows and armor produced by bow and arrow workshops and armor workshops here.

Qin Xiaobai smacked his tongue.

At the lowest price, a normal hunting bow also costs 50 copper coins, a bundle of 10 stone arrowheads, and 2 copper coins.

A set of copper armor including a copper helmet, copper goggles, leather cuirass, leather leggings, and leather handguards requires up to 100 copper coins. All his copper coins combined were not enough to buy such a pair of high-grade copper armor.

An old-eyed NPC old craftsman in the A workshop rarely saw a guest coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and chattered: "My lord, this armor is the best copper armor in our entire Zhoushui tribe, wearing it, even if you kill seven in and seven out in the Shanrong tribe, there is no problem, this is the treasure of this workshop." Seeing your majestic posture, only such a mighty armor can be worthy of your noble status. Let's have a pair, you can reduce 100 copper coins from the decay, how about it? ”

Qin Xiaobai couldn't cry or laugh, he wanted to buy it, but the problem was that he couldn't come up with the money. It's better to try a few pairs of hunting bows to enhance the combat effectiveness of your own tribe, and then consider whether to buy such expensive copper armor when you have money.
