Chapter 31 Inspiration and the Market for Cigarettes

(Today's first chapter, rolling all over the ground to collect and ask for tickets~~)

"Sad, sad, sad, white-headed... What should your sister do? ”

Liu Qi is no longer in a daze on the streets now, although the people in those Rogue camps are no longer treated as a strange animal to the civilians in the Imperial Age after being trained by all kinds of professionals in fancy costumes. However, after Liu Qi entered this shijie, he fought, traveled for several hours, and walked the streets for several hours, only now did he find that it was getting dark, and his belly began to protest against himself, so he decisively chose to find a place to eat and stay.

After passing through two streets and turning three alleys, Liu Qi, who was shy in his pocket, finally found a small inn with a dilapidated appearance, rented a low-class room in this hotel at a low price of twenty copper coins a day, settled himself, and by the way, put away the weapons and backpacks that had been resisting for a day.

Twenty copper coins are indeed not expensive, the price of a steamed bun here in Rogge Camp in the dark shijie is enough for ordinary people to eat a half-full is one copper coin, and twenty copper coins a day is about the same as forty soft girl coins per day, which is about the same as the price of an ordinary small inn in the Celestial Empire.

When Liu Qi found this inn, the sky over the entire Rogue camp finally darkened completely, and the streets gradually lit up with sporadic lights, and this inn was no exception.

On both sides above the entrance of the hotel, there are two quaint crystal lamps hanging high, and the milky white light illuminates the surrounding ten meters as if it were day.

After paying for the three days' meals, Liu Qi looked at this crystal lamp and wondered if this thing could be brought to reality or other shijie to change hands, but Liu Qi considered the terrible consequences of learning the name of the magic crystal lamp from the innkeeper in reality, so he decisively photoshopped this idea and thought about his own dinner instead.

After coming to Dark Shijie, Liu Qi, who had only nibbled on chocolates and sweets and drank some fruit juice, comfortably ate a unique beef and vegetable chowder soup at the price of a silver coin in the dining place on the first floor of the hotel, filling his belly that was tortured today.

Well, I have to say that the craftsmanship and material quality in this dark shijie are far from being comparable to the food in reality or the other two games shijie, it is worthy of the magic shijie food, not only the taste of the beef and vegetables is addictive, but even the soup is also unforgettable, Liu Qi drank three bowls in one go.

You know, it's a big guy like a big bowl in reality.

After eating, Liu Qi, who had no interest in going out for a stroll, returned to the hotel room in a depressed mood.

The only utensils placed in the room were a half-old wooden bed, a wooden table and a wooden chair, and a wooden basin placed at the foot of the bed, which was extremely rudimentary, and Liu Qi's weapons and backpack were placed on that bed.

"It's really worthy of a room of twenty copper coins a day, and it's really scum!"

Liu Qi walked to the bed, stretched out his hands and shook the futon on the bed, looking at the futon that had no peculiar smell, but was also quite old, and said to himself with a self-deprecating face.

But Liu Qi didn't care, it would be nice to have this kind of room in this kind of room that is equivalent to the level of a small roadside hotel in the Tianchao, do you still expect to live the same treatment as a five-star hotel in this kind of place? It's a dream that hasn't woken up yet, so let's really take a look at my current situation.

"Hey! If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have much money, I really wouldn't want to live in a place like this. Thinking about the fifty copper coins used up for dinner just now, and after paying the rent for three days, there were only eighteen gold coins, ninety-eight silver coins and forty copper coins left on his body, Liu Qi felt a bitterness in his heart that a penny was difficult for a hero.

But then again, how is this feeling so familiar? I used to feel this way a lot.

……………

"Hey, how can I quickly accumulate a large amount of gold?"

Liu Qi, who was sad and worried, now began to focus his attention on how to quickly accumulate a thousand gold coins for the transfer fee, and no longer felt sorry for himself like a resentful woman.

Unlike the shijie who was poor in materials in the previous imperial era, although the dark shijie is said to be dangerous, it is not lacking in various living materials, and it is even much stronger than the real shijie. And the law gold coins here belong to absolute hard currency, not those metal currencies, otherwise, Liu Qi would have come directly from the Imperial Era with gold coins to exchange, and the gold coins over there are much easier to earn than the gold coins here.

And the most troublesome thing is that from those stores, it is found that those luxury goods such as salt, spices, and cloth in the dark shijie are extremely cheap, there are many types, and the quality is also good. The rest of the goods of the same type that Liu Qi can find in reality are either too cost-effective or too big to be shipped in, and there is no liliang to compete with the other party at all. Of course, it would be a good thing if Liu Qi planned to smuggle from the dark shijie like reality, but the problem was that Liu Qi now wanted the law gold coins in the dark shijie instead of the soft sister coins in reality.

Liu Qi, who really couldn't think of any tricks for a while, has a headache now.

I won't be able to find a clue for a while while doing trade, but if I go to cut monsters alone with my own weapons, let's not talk about the risk, just that time consumption is enough for Liu Qi to have a headache. You know,I don't know how many times the monsters between Rog's camp and the Blood Wasteland have been cleared.,There are only a small number of monsters.,And this is not Liu Qi's personal stand-alone game.,You can farm monsters at will.,There are professionals and semi-professionals here to grab monsters.,But if you want to find more monsters, you have to go to the Blood Wasteland.,Look at your current small body...

"TMD perverted monster, not even afraid of bullets!"

Thinking of the strength of the zombies and the Sinking Demons he encountered, and the Sinking Demon Wizard he had seen that was like a small turret, Liu Qi could only temporarily dispel the idea of entering the depths of the Blood Wasteland, holding light weapons to face those terrifying monsters, no matter how you look at it, it would be a very stupid thing, and besides, his own ammunition would not be enough to support it for a long time.

What to do? What to do? What to do? …

Liu Qi, who had a headache, began to habitually prepare to smoke a cigarette to see if there was any inspiration!

"Peng!"

"Whew-"

Liu Qi, who lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and felt that his brain seemed to be a little brighter.

Well, sure enough, cigarettes are a must-have item to refresh and relieve fatigue, no wonder there are so many smokers in the Celestial Empire...

Uh, that's not right!!

Cigarette!!!

Liu Qi reacted suddenly, staring at the cigarette in his hand, I don't know if this thing can be used as a cargo, it is said that the profit of tobacco is very high, and the volume is very small and light, and he can now get a lot of it in at once.

Liu Qi, who immediately raised his mental head, immediately chose to quit, and was ready to go back to the reality shijie to buy a few cigarettes of various styles to try the reaction of the people on the dark shijie side to cigarettes.

……………

A few days later the market is free to trade

"Give me five packs of cigarettes, it's money!"

Liu Qi, who was sitting in front of his stall, looked at the semi-professional in front of him, didn't say anything, and directly sent five packs of cigarettes and a disposable lighter, and collected a gold coin.

Looking at the figure of the semi-professional who left, Liu Qi continued to shout.

Ahem, it's not that Liu Qi doesn't want to have a relationship with these professionals or semi-professionals, but when Liu Qi sells this kind of high-priced cigarettes in the free market. In the eyes of these professionals and semi-professionals, Liu Qi, an ordinary stranger in their eyes, has no qualifications to bargain with them at all, and after Liu Qi was treated coldly or lukewarmly several times when he wanted to talk, Liu Qi's children's shoes decisively gave up this fantasy. The three Melia they met earlier were obviously the kind of professionals who had just started out, and they were still easy to contact in comparison, but these professionals and semi-professionals who had been fighting outside for an unknown amount of time were not so easy to talk to.

"Tsk, anyway, there is still a gap of about half of the transfer fee of 1,000 gold coins, and it is estimated that it will take a few days!"

Liu Qi looked at the small bag of gold coins in his backpack, there were already more than a hundred, weighed it, nodded with satisfaction, and went to the 'bank' in Rogge's camp to store it after closing the stall.

Well, the so-called 'bank' is actually a depository opened by Camp Rog for those professionals, semi-professionals, ordinary nobles, and merchants, and those professionals and semi-professionals who add blood to their knives can often die in battle with monsters. And I don't know why, as long as the professional and semi-professional who died in battle died, the storage space on their bodies, the things inside, and the equipment they wore on their bodies would be wiped out.

It's just that the professional and semi-professional people die in battle, after all, anyone can encounter this situation, but after the professional and semi-professional people die in battle, their families and descendants can not ignore the problem of Camp Rogge.

You must know that before the Anti-Demon War, there were cases where the family members of the professionals died in the war and starved to death or were bullied, which greatly dampened the fighting spirit of the professionals.

This kind of thing was not uncommon before the establishment of Camp Roger, and there were many similar examples of professionals from both commoners and nobles, and it was very delayed. Later, after the establishment of Camp Rog, it was clearly stipulated that after the death of professionals and semi-professionals, their families could be taken care of through Camp Rogge, which was regarded as eliminating the worries of the big guys.

However, this is not too safe, after all, there is a limit to the care in Roger's camp, so many professionals and semi-professionals will place some gold coins and equipment in a secret place at home as a backhand.

After Rogge Camp later discovered this situation, he set up a special storage agency, which was called the Valuables Custody Shop, and only needed to pay ten gold coins to open a locker in it. The locker can only be opened with a special key after binding to the user, and the security of the locker is absolutely reassuring - if there is a problem in this kind of place, it will not be far from the fall or collapse of Camp Rogue.

However, later this kind of locker was even favored by merchants and nobles who were not professionals, after all, even ordinary people only need to pay ten gold coins to get a safe locker, which is much safer than keeping those valuables and a large number of gold coins at home.

After Liu Qi opened the cigarette sales channel, he opened a locker in the valuables custody store, and put most of the gold coins he got every day in it, leaving only a few gold coins on his body for pocket use.

The low-grade cigarettes brought by Liu Qi (high-end cigarettes can't be drawn, and there is not so much money to buy them) finally opened up the market after Liu Qi spent a trial period of one free per person a day, and later professionals reluctantly accepted this sky-high luxury of twenty silver coins a pack (ordinary people's standard). Although the vast majority of professionals have not yet accepted this kind of fresh items that can refresh and relieve fatigue, Liu Qi has found that his customer base is increasing in the past few days.

However, Liu Qi's goal now is to gather a thousand gold coins, but he has no plans to resell cigarettes and lighters for a long time.
