Chapter 20: Insight and Leakage
"Brother Zhang, is there anything peculiar about this knife, why do you have a complicated expression when you look at it?" Qin Xiaobai suppressed the excitement in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to ask immediately.
He needs to know what this knife means to Blacksmith Zhang, and whether Blacksmith Zhang knows the value of this knife, so that he can prescribe the right medicine.
"I have always dreamed of being able to go to Wuwei City, the seat of Wuwei County, to be a blacksmith, where the ironmaking industry is prosperous, and there are many grandmaster-level blacksmiths, it is the holy place in my heart."
"However, where the lowest blacksmith standard is a fifth-level blacksmith, I only have a fourth-level blacksmith, and I can't go there."
"If you want to rise to the fifth rank, you can only make a weapon that can enter the bronze rank, for which I have been preparing for several years, refining thousands of catties of steel to extract its essence, and now I will start construction."
"This knife has obviously been formed at the last moment, but for some reason, it suddenly became like this, and there is only one-tenth of the surname left."
"Hey......" Blacksmith Zhang sighed as he spoke, touching the Hundred Refined Steel Knife, and his heart was even more depressed.
He tried to think about every detail of the knife making, and there was nothing wrong with it, let alone the blueprint.
If something really goes wrong, then it's okay to say, just start over, I'm afraid that this kind of failure that can't find fault will make him very depressed now.
Qin Xiaobai was overjoyed after hearing this, it seems that this blacksmith thought that he had failed to cast it, so there was a door.
So he pretended to comfort a few words, and then said: "Brother Zhang, since this knife is a failed product, I can't find out where there is a mistake from it." And the little brother I just lack a good weapon, I can't afford a heavy weapon, and the light weapon is slightly insufficient, otherwise you will sell this knife to me, the eldest brother of the province, you see things and think about things, and look back and be depressed. ”
Hearing this, Blacksmith Zhang was reasonable, and nodded involuntarily, but he was a businessman, thinking that everyone was unprofitable and could not afford to be early, so he raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaobai carefully, wanting to see through his thoughts.
Qin Xiaobai neither dodged nor looked at him, trying to adjust himself to the most natural and relaxed state, as if he was at home with others.
"Okay, I can sell you, but the price will definitely not be too low, but compared to its cost, it is already a drop in the bucket, seventy yuan." Blacksmith Zhang stared at Qin Xiaobai for a long time, and couldn't see any flaws, so he changed his hand and tested it with the price, he had 85% of the price of a heavy weapon, but his surname was only half of that of a heavy weapon, if Qin Xiaobai still wanted to buy it, then there would be a problem.
Qin Xiaobai is not a god after all, it is impossible to calculate every step, and the mood of wanting to quickly pick up the leak makes him only think that this is Zhang Blacksmith's distress about the capital, and he just wants to be able to take back a little bit and take back a little.
However, he only has forty wen on his body now, and he is not sure that in the hands of this annihilator, he will cut the price of thirty wen, so he turned around and left, got into the carriage, and wanted to go to the market to see if he could take out thirty wen, and quickly buy the hundred refining steel knife, so that he could rest assured.
This action was different in the eyes of Blacksmith Zhang, thinking that Qin Xiaobai was disgusted with the price being too high and didn't want to buy it, so he hurriedly grabbed Qin Xiaobai and said: "Forty Wen, just forty Wen, this is my low price." ”
In fact, the low price of Zhang Blacksmith is 25 Wen, twice the price of light weapons, and the surname of the 100 refined steel knife is only 1.5 times that of light weapons, at most the durability is higher, and the price is a little sharper, and this price is reasonable.
Qin Xiaobai was stunned when he heard this, but then he understood that Zhang Blacksmith was testing him just now, and his heart was so dangerous that he almost fell short, and secretly instructed himself that he must not let his mentality affect his judgment ability in the future.
For the sake of insurance, Qin Xiaobai suppressed the ** he wanted to buy immediately, made a look like a businessman, bargained with Blacksmith Zhang, pulled it for a few minutes, and finally bought it at a price of thirty yuan.
After Qin Xiaobai took the hundred refined steel knives, he casually threw them into the car, said goodbye to the blacksmith Zhang, and asked the coachman to drive the four-horse carriage to the next stop, the pharmacy.
Seeing that the four carriages were gradually moving away from the blacksmith shop, Qin Xiaobai, who had been sitting upright, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly picked up the refined steel knife and looked at it carefully.
Although the Hundred Refined Steel Knife was still so black and ugly, Qin Xiaobai became more and more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at it.
This is a bronze class weapon, and even if it is placed on the world map, it is not readily available.
There are not many NPC blacksmiths, and those who enter the fifth tier are even rarer, according to Qin Xiaobai's estimates, the price of such a bronze rank five-star knife in the NPC store on the world map will never be less than a thousand Wen.
He bought it for only thirty yuan, which can be regarded as a big leak, the only pity is that he has to go out of the novice village to lift the seal, otherwise, his combat power can directly increase by a full five levels.
The pharmacy is located in the south of the village, close to the village gate and the melon shop, and before Qin Xiaobai arrived at the pharmacy, he first came to the pawnshop in the south of the village.
Pawn all the acres of land allocated in the village to the pawnshop in exchange for copper coins.
Originally, the land in the village was very sufficient, and each family basically had several acres of land, so the land was not valuable.
The pawnshop owner thought that the arrival of these strangers would inevitably make the land supply scarce, and he only needed to buy Qin Xiaobai's field and build a house, and he would definitely make a lot of money.
So he gave Qin Xiaobai a higher price, four hundred Wen, and there was only one condition, that is, to let him die.
Qin Xiaobai will not stay in the novice village for too long, this is just a transitional place for him, it is useless for Qin Xiaobai to ask for this land, so naturally he will not refuse, but the price is far beyond what he expected, which makes him excited.
So the two hit it off, and the deal went very smoothly......
Seeing that the cloth pocket on his waist was bulging again, Qin Xiaobai finally felt steady, so he got into the carriage and went to the pharmacy.
The pharmacy produces a wide variety of things, most of which are used to treat pain, and few are to have the medical effect of trauma.
Therefore, the gold sore medicine that is not in stock will be bought out by the Agni Alliance
The effect of gold sore medicine is similar to that of meat, but it is also different, the former focuses on hemostasis, and the latter focuses on blood replenishment.
Originally, the Flame Alliance was going to attack the wind wolf, and replenishing blood was the best choice, but meat was too expensive, and a pound of meat was enough to buy a light weapon, so they chose to buy gold sore medicine.
The medicines in the drugstore, except for the Golden Sore Medicine, which is a bit of a player market, are not very popular with players, because there is not a single player who is sick and cold......
Therefore, Qin Xiaobai did not come here to hoard goods, but to find a medicine that could cure the injuries of King Orion.
In Qin Xiaobai's memory, there seem to be two boxes of treasures in the pharmacy, which have been passed down from generation to generation in the pharmacy over the centuries.
The condition for obtaining it is that you need to exchange an equivalent medicinal herb to get it.
Wang Lihu's injuries are riddled with old diseases, and the new injuries added to the outside have not healed, if you can get these two boxes of medicines, and this medicine can really work, then the early magic skill tetanus slash can be at your fingertips.
The things that Qin Xiaobai can meet the exchange conditions in his hands now are the blood and tendons of King Ru, one is an excellent medicine for treating external injuries, and the other is an internal medicine for the body.
Qin Xiaobai was not sure that he could get it, so he entered the pharmacy with trepidation, found the owner of the pharmacy, and proposed an exchange.
The owner of the pharmacy was very surprised where Qin Xiaobai learned that there were these two things in the pharmacy that were not in the six ears, and it was said that they were the treasures of the century-old town store.
Qin Xiaobai casually found a reason to prevaricate, and then led the topic to the exchange of medicines.
Compared with Blacksmith Zhang, the owner of the pharmacy was much more sincere, and after inspecting the blood and meridians of King Ru, he clearly told Qin Xiaobai that although the quality was insufficient, it could be made up for by quantity.
If he is willing to exchange blood meridians with a cart, the pharmacy can give him a part of the White Jade Intermittent Cream and the Ten Flowers Jade Dew Pill to ensure that medical treatment is enough for one person.
Qin Xiaobai naturally agreed, this was enough for him to achieve his goal.
"This trip went very smoothly, and it was really a welfare village!" After coming out of the pharmacy with two small boxes of medicines, Qin Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Xiaobai got into the four-horse carriage and was about to ask the coachman to drive the carriage to the last destination, the butcher shop.
But I saw that at the entrance of the village, I don't know when, a large group of players gathered.
I couldn't help but look at it and found that most of the names of those players were prefixed with fire.
"The Fire Alliance is ready to attack the Wind Wolf?" Qin Xiaobai's heart moved, and he secretly said that it was not good.
If it was in the past, Qin Xiaobai would naturally like to see the mutual damage between players and wild monsters.
But now I can't be happy, because once the player provokes the wind wolf and attracts more wolves to block the door, the player can't get out.
All the goods he hoarded were in vain.
Every time those shops make and accumulate goods, they will indirectly lose a lot of money, and they will not be able to accumulate funds and occupy a sufficient share of the market to control the market.
On the contrary, if the player is allowed to go out to farm monsters now, causing a shortage of strategic goods resources, Qin Xiaobai will make a lot of money, and then hoard and resell to control the market.
He can use strategic resources to divide and win over the player group, and even control the pace of player upgrades to ensure his own safety and interests to the greatest extent.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiaobai was anxious, but he still kept calm in his mind, his mind was running rapidly, and he finally said to the coachman: "Change your destination and go to the administrative hall." ”
