Small teams generally have limited funds, and the conditions in the dormitories are naturally not good. The décor of the room was very simple, only a bed and a desk, not even a window, and the whole room was filled with a cold and moldy smell.

Who knows how long no one has lived in this house? Shen Mu pinched his nose and shook the sheets, then sighed and fell directly on the bed. With his hands on his head and his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, his head constantly wondering if he had prepared enough and how he would respond if he encountered an unexpected situation?

Before I knew it, I fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already the early morning of the next day. Shen Mu, who couldn't sleep anymore, decided to go out and see if he needed to buy some more things.

In such a small and loose team, there is usually a free trading area, which Zhao Wulong has mentioned to him a long time ago. All the things you need to enter the Mixed Metaverse can be bought here, and some weapons and equipment that others don't use can also be traded here, and you can even find some good things when you're lucky.

Although it was early in the morning, it was about to leave tomorrow, and the players who usually do not train here began to return to the team one after another, and this small base suddenly became lively.

As long as there is a flow of capital, there will be businessmen. Regular big business houses and big chambers of commerce will naturally not come here, and those who can smell blood and find here are naturally black market merchants who have some cooperative relationships. Black market merchants are disgraceful, and most of the goods they sell are from improper sources, and the prices are extremely black. Selling things for 100 yuan outside, he dared to buy 3,000 and said that he would take care of you.

"How about it, young man? As soon as you look at it, you will know that it is a newcomer who has entered the Mixed Metaverse for the first time, and you will definitely not lose by buying a map. The map shows most of the known territory, as well as maps of the distribution of various forces, as well as several hidden rifts in space. It's only 3,000 yuan for so much information, it's very cheap!" A slightly chubby middle-aged businessman sold the map in his hand to Shen Mu with a courteous face, but that price really made Shen Mu want to slap him to death.

"You're an idiot, you're worth 10 yuan at most!" Shen Mu really wanted a map. After all, it's the first time I've been to a completely unfamiliar area, and I won't have a map that will be completely black. But this guy is too black-hearted!

"Hehe, little brother, this is what you don't know!" said the middle-aged merchant with a wicked smile: "The cost of this map is not expensive, and the price in the expedition union is only 100 yuan." However, in order to purchase a genuine map from the Expedition Guild, you must register with the Guild in advance. I don't think you seem to have registered yet, little brother! Besides, even the genuine map doesn't have so many marks on it, not to mention the marks of the space-time rift. ”

What he said was good, the genuine map was very cheap, but Shen Mu, a stowaway, was not qualified to buy it at all, and it was precisely because of this that people dared to knock on such a ruthless bamboo pole. So the question is, do you want to buy this map? Don't buy it, it's really necessary to enter the mixed metaverse for the first time. Sell it, this wronged boss is really unwilling, and he doesn't have so much money to waste on this.

Seeing Shen Mu's entanglement, the middle-aged businessman smiled and said, "My brother doesn't have enough money, right?" It doesn't matter, I believe in fate. It's fate that we can meet today. In this way, the eldest brother will give you a discount, two thousand yuan, no, just one thousand and five! As long as the elder brother has something to gain in the mixed metaverse and wants to make a move, just think about the eldest brother. ”

It's really business. It seems to be half cheaper, but in fact he has made more than ten times the profit. Not only did he sell something, but he also sold it to Shen Mu, once Shen Mu could come back alive in the Mixed Metaverse and receive something, he could make a lot of money. It is said that there is no treachery and no business, and the methods of this black market merchant are really unusual!

"Then thank you big brother first!" Shen Mu couldn't do anything even if he saw his means, compared to the price of one thousand and five, he gritted his teeth and could accept it.

After paying the money and selling the map, Shen Mu was about to leave. The middle-aged businessman suddenly seemed to remember something, and after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly stopped Shen Mu, and said mysteriously: "Brother, big brother, there is another good thing here, I don't know if you are interested?"

"What's it?" Shen Mu instinctively sensed that his smile was a little abnormal.

"Hmm......" The middle-aged merchant gritted his teeth and hesitated, pulled Shen Mu back two steps, lowered his head and whispered: "Big brother has a seventh-order gold-quality priest staff in his hand, do you want it, brother?"

"Huh?" Shen Mu's eyes widened as if he had misheard, and he looked at him with a look of 'you are teasing me'.

No wonder Shen Muhui had this expression, he was no longer the first time he didn't know anything. Now he understood very well what a seventh-order gold-quality staff meant?

To put it simply, the grade of weapons and equipment is the same as the grade of the profession, the higher the grade, the stronger the power, and the more rare. According to the degree of perfection in the manufacturing process of weapons and equipment, it is divided into four qualities: black iron, silver, gold and purple gold. And what is the concept of seventh-order gold quality? The price of seventh-order weapons and equipment is as high as millions, and they are often priceless, and even seventh-order professionals cannot guarantee one per person. In fact, many Rank 7 Professions are still using Rank 6 or even 5 weapons, let alone Rank 7 Gold-level equipment.

There is a saying: fierce generals are easy to have, but magic soldiers are rare. If this is really a seventh-order gold equipment circulating on the market, it is guaranteed to break the head if it can be snatched, and a few people will have to die if it is not good.

How could equipment of this grade appear in the hands of a small black market merchant? And even if it was in his hands, how could he sell it to a young priest who had just reached the first rank and was about to smuggle into the Mixed Metaverse? It's like buying a pair of cheap socks at the night market in the original world, only to have the stall owner pull you and ask, 'Do you want to have a Yuan blue and white porcelain?' Just kidding, you really have it, can I afford it?

Looking at Shen Mu's expression of 'you tease me', the middle-aged businessman smiled awkwardly before telling the truth: "This...... Seventh-order gold is indeed true, it's just ...... A slight blemish!"

Shen Mu pursed his lips with a look of 'I'll just say it', and didn't speak, just aimed at it with his eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"Uh...... Actually, the staff had been tainted by an evil spell and was now only partially exerting its power. But even a part of the power is quite good!If the elder brother is interested, the eldest brother will give you a cheaper price?How about 50,000?" The middle-aged businessman's face was sincere, as if he had taken advantage of Shen Mu.

Shen Mu grinned at him and smiled hehe, then turned around and left. Not to mention a seventh-order staff that can only exert part of its power, even if it is an intact seventh-order staff, he can't afford 50,000 yuan!

Seeing Shen Mu turn around and leave, the middle-aged businessman was a little anxious, and he stepped over and pulled Shen Mu's arm and said, "Alas, brother, don't be in a hurry to go! In this way, the eldest brother will show you the goods first, and if you match the price, we will negotiate. ”

Ignoring Shen Mu's objections, he directly pulled him to a remote corner behind the shop, looked left and right, and after seeing that no one was paying attention, he carefully took out a staff of about fifty centimeters from the space ring.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I, a genuine seventh-order golden staff!" said the middle-aged merchant as he touched the part of the staff that faintly revealed a golden luster.

It was the first time that Shen Mu had seen such high-level equipment up close, and he was also a little curious to take it and look at it carefully. The shape of this staff is very chic, and some details are extremely delicate. It is about 50 centimeters long, and it is a medium-level magic wand. The body of the staff is carved with a variety of magic runes, arranged according to a certain pattern, as if forming some kind of magic array. The material of this staff itself is also very special, non-gold, non-jade, non-stone and non-wood, the whole body is white jade, faintly revealing a touch of golden luster, I don't know what it is made of, there is a very comfortable feeling to touch.

However, it is a pity that most of the staff bodies are contaminated with a purple-black substance at this time, as if some kind of liquid has completely invaded the inside of the staff, which also seems to reveal an evil aura from the originally holy staff.

Looking at the upper part of the staff, there were five grooves that seemed to be used to set magic crystals, but now they were empty and there was nothing. And at the top of the staff, there is a white gem the size of a fist, I don't know what level attribute it is, I think the level should not be low. It's just a pity that there are now four deep cracks on it, making the whole gem look dull and can be treated as a scrap.

"You dare to sell this thing for 50,000 yuan, this thing can be a little stronger than the burning root now!" Shen Mu tried to inject some magic elements into the staff. You can feel that the magic elements are running very jerky, as if a large river that was originally rushing has been blocked by a pile of stones. It can be said that this seventh-order golden staff is not even as good as a first-order black iron staff.

"Alas, brother, you can't say that. The middle-aged merchant argued: "Although this seventh-order staff is polluted now, the seventh-order staff itself will not change? What if it can be restored in the future? This is just like a person, if you encounter a temporary predicament, will you not be able to turn over for the rest of your life? Longyou Shoal is nothing, if you are in the wind and clouds again, it will be Longfei for nine days! At that time, brother, you will make a lot of money." ”

"Are you a three-year-old child?" Shen Mu didn't listen to his foolishness, and sneered: "I don't believe you haven't tried to get rid of this thing." If this thing is so easy to purify and expel away, then it can still be my turn?"

The middle-aged merchant narrowed his eyes: "That's right, I can't get rid of it, but that doesn't mean you can't? Everyone's chance, haven't you heard of the divine soldier choosing the master? Maybe you are the master of the destiny of this staff! In your hands, you will naturally have the opportunity to restore its original appearance." 50,000 yuan to buy such an opportunity, brother, do you think it's expensive?

"Okay, don't fool, is it for sale for three thousand?" Although he knew that he was still fooling, Shen Mu was really moved by his words. Others can't purify this staff, but that doesn't mean he can't either? You must know that he has a golden finger! Maybe a certain skill on the priest's skill tree will do? With this thought, Shen Mu felt that he should not let go of this opportunity.

"Forty-eight thousand! That's a very low amount!"

"Five thousand!"

"Forty thousand!

"Eight thousand!"

"Okay, okay, 30,000 lines!

"Ten thousand!"

"Brother, there's no such bargaining as you!"

"Twelve thousand, if you don't sell me, I'll leave!"

"Alas, okay, I'll call you this friend today!" The middle-aged businessman saw that this should be the limit that Shen Mu could accept, and immediately made a deal.

After paying the money and putting away the staff, Shen Mu was full of pain. This ten thousand two is already his last savings, and now he is penniless, and his pocket is cleaner than his face. However, he did not regret it, the trip to the Mixed Metaverse was either life or death, and if he died in it, it would be useless to leave more money.

And looking at the back of Shen Mu leaving, the middle-aged businessman secretly wiped his cold sweat, breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly screamed that he had finally fooled this thing out.

This seventh-order golden staff was something he had received three months ago. At first, he took over with the idea of 'if he could expel and purify the evil element, it would be developed', but he thought of a lot of methods, such as alchemy, exorcism, purification, etc., but it still didn't work. In other words, this thing is smashed in your hand.

In fact, it wasn't a big deal even if it was smashed in the hand. Because it didn't cost much when this staff was collected, it was regarded as a collection in the hand, and it was also a seventh-order gold equipment, which was still very collectible.

But things had changed just a month ago, and he had only learned about it by accident. This seventh-order golden staff is not a 'dead thing', but a 'heel' behind it, and it is rumored to be the Yuyang family of the 'jade' of the eight wealthy families of the empire. According to legend, there were thieves who attacked the Seventh Young Master of the Yuyang Family in the Mixed Metaverse and stole this Seventh-Order Golden Priest Career Staff. So in an instant, this staff became a hot potato, and he was so frightened that he moved overnight, fled to the northernmost Beichen Star Field, and found this corner to hide.

In fact, he didn't care about whether the truth of the truth was really as rumored by the Yuyang family, he only knew that this staff had been targeted by a big man, and if he dared to keep it in his hand, it would definitely be a dead end, even if he took the initiative to send it to the door, he didn't dare to guarantee that it would end well. After all, he doesn't know if there are any ulterior secrets hidden in it, and if he is killed by others, it will be too late to cry!

After thinking about it, he still felt that it was best to change hands, but this staff was used by priests, and it was really difficult to make a move, and he could only look for opportunities in the black market when he couldn't go to the big store.

Today I was lucky to meet Shen Mu, a little priest, and I finally turned out after a flicker, and the price was not a loss, and the stone in my heart was half put down. He even hoped now that Shen Mu would better die in the Mixed Yuan Realm, and if this staff was picked up by someone else, the more times it changed hands, the safer he would be. The Jade of the Empire, he is a small businessman, he really can't afford to mess with him!
