Chapter 14: The Mysterious Merchant
Of course, Xu Haoran had all of this, although he didn't know what had just happened, but the ferocious power of the blue-skinned monster that was more than three meters tall was now shocking him.
Of course, he didn't ask Su Li what it was just now, after all, everyone has their own secrets, even if he asked this kid, he wouldn't necessarily say it, if he wanted to say it, he would naturally say it himself.
Anyway, now that he has a relationship with Xie Yu, he is not afraid that he will have a bad relationship with him, thinking about the power of the monster just now, Xu Haoran is now cold in his back.
Su Li looked at this Xu Haoran and didn't ask, then of course he wouldn't say that it was good to deal with smart people, at least others wouldn't ask what it was just now, and he wouldn't have to spend effort to explain.
Su Li touched Xiao Meow's head, looked at Xie Yu and asked:
"Is there anything around here that I haven't explored yet, I want to go over and see, the first is to increase my strength, and the second is to try the strength of my summon just now."
Xie Yu had only been here for a while, so he was not very familiar with this place, so he turned his head to look at Xu Haoran, signaling that if he had anything, he could tell Su Li, and by the way, increase the mutual favorability between him and the landlord.
Su Li looked at these two people and secretly shouted in surprise in his heart, it can't be true, these two people seem to have walked out and said that the father and daughter have been believed, but they still haven't said it, after all, this is someone else's business.
Xu Haoran pondered for a moment and replied:
"There is such a place, go out and walk east for about two days to a large swamp, which is a place found by our reconnaissance team, and the monsters in it are mainly plants."
"Attack hits come with various negative statuses, such as poisoning, slowing, stunning, etc., and now there is a mysterious merchant in the camp who sells all kinds of alchemy materials for ridiculously high prices."
"We've taken people to investigate before, but the terrain here is too complicated, and it must be useful with high-end combat power, and if you go a little more ordinary, you will fall into the swamp at any time, which will add trouble to others."
"I also have a map in my study that you can use as a reference, but just in case, you'd better go to the mysterious merchant and bring a poison potion and some sober potions with you."
"Poison and paralysis are the two most common negative states there, the paralysis effect will greatly limit the ability of the practitioner, and the poison damage is not high, but the duration is very long."
"If you are in a poisoned state, all items in the slow recovery cannot be used, and skills such as stealth will also be invalid."
The two blew each other for a long time before shaking hands... Farewell, it's really business, Su Li looked at the two people who left, and there was an inexplicable sense of matching.
The freckles on Xie Yu's face also made her not look as young as a normal college student.
This old guy is also very well maintained, tsk, the backs of the two of them look like sheep releasing goat fart, foreign and angry at the same time.
Su Li felt that it was actually good, it was inconvenient to bring too many people, and he had to take care of the safety of others, if it was just himself, he would run away if he wanted to, and he would not bear the heavy feeling of caring about the safety of others.
But there's a downside to this.,It's less of a full-time assistant.,But it's okay.,With the current ability of the little meow, there will be bread in the future.,There will be milk.,Maybe there's a girlfriend...
It's exciting and happy to think about.
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Su Li came to the location of the mysterious merchant they said, in fact, it was easy to find here, the mysterious merchant has been here since he came, and he found it by asking passers-by casually.
The mysterious merchant was a man in a black robe with a black hood, and there was a strange pattern on the hood, and a lion's head appeared out of the sea, and a bird stood on the lion's head.
Isn't this a typical sea, land and air, which means that you mysterious merchants are all over the world, it's a bit interesting, Su Li didn't say anything to him and asked if there were any paralyzing potions and antidotes.
The mysterious merchant nodded, took out some from under the black robe, and whispered:
"The measurement here is enough for you to use alone for a month, and the price is one silver coin, no negotiation."
I don't know if this guy was born with a low voice or on purpose, how did it be like an improper transaction, Su Li thought to himself.
I didn't think much about it, a silver coin is just one, and the measurement is enough for a month, so it's still quite cheap.
In fact, what he didn't know was that one silver coin could be exchanged for ten copper coins, and one copper coin was equivalent to the purchasing power of 20 catties of rice in the camp, in this situation of lack of all kinds of materials.
A silver coin is actually quite expensive, but Su Li doesn't care about these very much, if he has to say it, then it's nothing more than killing a few more monsters.
Su Li actually knew that Xu Haoran was selfish when he said about this swamp.
Because everyone's map is out of everything, and you have the strength, go and see what kind of monster types and all aspects of the information you bring back, you definitely can't hide it, right?
This is equivalent to reducing some personnel losses in Haoran Building in disguise, and if Haoran Building wants to send people to go, there will inevitably be a lot of personnel loss.
But the two of them have only met once, they can be regarded as half friends, and it is normal to use them, as long as it is beneficial to everyone, what does it matter if they are used, Su Li smiled.
When he was about to leave, he glanced at a box on the ground out of the corner of his eye, the box was half opened, revealing half of the knife head, and the keen Su Li instantly felt that this should be the kind of medium-sized carving knife used for fine carving.
After seeing this box, I looked at the dazzling array of items on the ground, including all kinds of weapons, medicines, and food.
But if you take a closer look, it's actually similar to the consumables in the belt space, and you don't need to equip these now, and the only thing that interests you a little is this small box.
Su Li squatted down and first looked at the few pieces of jerky on it casually, recovering the kind that recovered 10% of his health in a short period of time.
Then he looked up at the merchant and said:
"I want ten pieces of air-dried meat, and that little box looks like it reminds me of my old father, how about giving it to me as an additive."
The merchant seemed to see through these little tricks of his, and sneered:
"Jerky costs two copper coins a piece, and that grid costs three silver coins, no bargaining."
"Hey, three silver coins, no kidding."
Su Li was shocked before he seriously picked up the box and looked at it, the box is the kind that can be pulled apart. ”
"After pulling it, there was a medium-sized carving knife lying inside, the small micro carving knife and the large sharpening knife were gone, leaving only two marks to indicate that there were three small sets of carving knives in this box before."
Su Li took out the medium-sized carving knife in the box and shook the box, and found that there was a slight abnormal sound inside, but his complexion did not change in the slightest, and he thought that there seemed to be a compartment inside the box.
The merchant looked at his expressionless face and knew that this boy, like the people who had come before, heard the sound of the box, and said directly:
"Don't pretend to be calm, I know you heard that there is a compartment inside, and I also know that there is a small silk cloth in the compartment, and it is because of this cloth that the price is so expensive."
Su Li couldn't hold back the embarrassment, and said with a smile:
"It turns out that there is a mezzanine inside, you said it earlier, I didn't hear anything."
Ignoring the merchant's disdainful gaze, he carefully opened the mezzanine and took out the silk cloth inside, and opened it, on which was a series of techniques using a carving knife, these techniques Su Li had never even seen.
On the back of the silk cloth is a quaint formation, indescribably strange and complicated, as if every stroke has been carefully designed, and there is not a single text on the whole silk cloth, not even hieroglyphs.
There are only a few trick diagrams and one formation diagram.
Su Li liked it at first sight, not because he liked this formation, but because he liked the carving technique.
But he didn't have so much money in his pocket, so he pretended to be pitiful and asked:
"Brother, I only have two silver coins in my whole net worth, can I make a friend."
The merchant just looked at him coldly and said three words:
"No bargaining."
Hey, since the soft ones can't be good, the only ones that come to the hard ones are the ones that come to the hard ones when I think of putting them away with a weak posture and taking out the ambition of the Baron of Coconut and handing it over from the left hand to the right hand.
After putting his right hand back into the space, he calmly took out the exaggerated and terrifying crocodile war hammer, and said bluntly:
"How much does this thing cost?"
The passers-by exclaimed at the sight of the hammer, but they were ignored by the two, and the merchant only glanced at it and offered the price of two.
Regardless of whether the price is fair or not, anyway, this guy is a monopoly on the entire industry, two is two, and after talking to him for so long, I probably figured out this guy's character.
belongs to the kind of person who can't play a stuffy fart for half a day, so he won't negotiate with him, not to mention the waste of time, but also attracted more and more people.
Su Li was not a flamboyant person, so he picked up the carving knife box and dropped a silver coin and war hammer and left.
Before leaving, he gritted his teeth and said to the merchant, I will definitely come back, it looks like a married woman who stood at the door and said cruel words to her husband who was playing games in the bedroom before she ran away from home.
Vicious and affectionate.
When he was about to leave the camp, he saw Xie Yu and Xu Haoran waiting for him at the door, sighed and walked up quickly:
"Ah, I didn't expect the landlord to come to see me off, it's really weird."
Xu Haoran looked at his funny appearance, as if he had returned to a few decades ago when he was just the head of the department and faced that group of naughty students, and laughed knowingly.
After seeing him funny, Xu Haoran scolded with a smile:
"You kid, Xiaoyu, she's worried that you're going alone, although in her mouth you're already the kind of master of the masters."
"But she was still worried, she said that the fat man had already taken the first step, and she couldn't say anything to let you go, and I really couldn't do anything."
"Besides, I really can't beat her, so I'm waiting for you here with her early."
Listening to Xu Haoran's words, the adultery between these two people is basically certain.
