Breeze City is called Breeze City because the wind here is always gentle and gentle.

To the southeast, the humid and warm eastern coast is almost never snowy, even on the deepest winter days.

But the wind blowing from the east coast carries a faint smell of blood all year round.

As the largest city on the Nanlin Peninsula, Breeze City plays a very important role. It is located between the eastern coast and the hinterland, where the entire continent gathers extraordinary cultivators who want to make a fortune, sometimes forming a mercenary team to pick and choose from various tasks in the mercenary guild, sometimes going into the barren wasteland of the eastern coast to put on a mask and become a scavenger.

There are many less productive tribes on the eastern coast of the Nanlin Peninsula, but these tribes rely on killing a steady stream of monsters in some areas from time to time, and they can also use their materials to exchange for important living materials in Breeze City.

No one knows how the monsters breed or how they are promoted, and they don't care. They only knew that Breeze City was the place with the largest variety of monsters in the entire Southern Continent to the southeast, and there were countless opportunities to make a fortune.

Like many cities of this era, Breeze City was built on the ruins of a glorious old era, with a large number of old buildings demolished and rudimentary houses and walls built from those demolished materials.

The largest building in the city belongs to the Mercenary Guild, which is also the largest mercenary guild in the entire Southern Continent.

It's said to be a mercenary union, but it's actually more like a tavern.

In the most conspicuous place in the hall are two large blackboards, on which are written in chalk. The first blackboard lists the various tasks and the conditions and rewards for receiving them, while the second blackboard shows the names and offers of dozens of materials.

When the mercenaries are willing to take on the complete task, they go to the first blackboard to consult. If they just want to kill monsters and earn some change for the time being, then they will go to the second blackboard and copy a list of materials that they find useful.

The hall was filled with wooden tables, and the mercenaries sat crowded, and the sound of wooden wine glasses clattering was incessant. Every now and then, someone would walk through the narrow and crowded aisles, go under the big blackboard and mumble, and then return to their places to continue drinking.

Qi Wanli is one of those people.

Out of nowhere, he got a small notebook, stood under the big blackboard with his head tilted up, copied most of the book, and read the words in his mouth, and after a while he put the notebook back into his clothes, and walked sideways through the crowd, and returned to his seat.

Bai Qiyu had been waiting for a long time, there was a glass of untouched coarse grain wine beside her, and a bowl of jerky was placed in front of her, and she was bored at this time with jerky to feed the black king lying on the table.

"Are you back?" Seeing Qi Wanli coming back, she moved her body and made a small position for him.

Qi Wanli sat down with a wry smile, spread out the notebook on the table, and said: "The price of materials has changed a lot in the past few days, and the price of materials that can be hit by ordinary monsters has begun to fall off a cliff, while the materials of monsters at the level of small bosses have begun to soar...... There are also some names of materials that have not been seen before. ”

Bai Qiyu frowned after hearing this, and said melancholy: "But according to the price you remembered, even if you go to fight the little leader now, the risk is still higher than the benefit, you must know that in the last half a month, there are seven or eight squads that have died in the monster group reported by the union alone." ”

Qi Wanli asked for a glass of wine with some annoyance, reached out and covered the spread notebook, and muttered: "We've been in Breeze City for a month, haven't we? How have you spent this month? Earn some money today and spend it tomorrow after two meals! We are here to earn money and travel a long way, why are we trapped here?"

Bai Qiyu was very aggrieved and retorted: "I didn't expect this to happen, when I first arrived in Breeze City, I took on a few independent tasks, and I saved a lot of money at once, and the price of ordinary monster materials was still good at that time." ”

"Of course, at that time, everyone didn't even notice that the monster had already started to act in groups. Qi Wanli sighed: "Where did these monsters come from? You say, some of them are monsters that climbed up from the sea, but where did those monsters that came out of the mountains and forests come from?"

Bai Qiyu ignored Qi Wanli's annoyed complaints, she took the small notebook that he had covered, opened it and read it again seriously.

"What about this, what is this, why did you cross it out?" Bai Qiyu asked, pointing to a line that had been crossed out by Qi Wanli and crossed out.

Qi Wanli glanced at it and said: "This is not good, this is a personal bodyguard, at first I saw that the pay was good and wrote it down, but there is a clear clause in the employer's requirements that it cannot be a man...... I don't know which big family's daughter is the eldest lady, or an obscene playboy. ”

Bai Qiyu held back a smile, pointed to the other one and asked, "This is good, the delivery task, the reward is also okay." ”

"I just asked in detail, no......" Qi Wanli sighed again, "The competition is very fierce, there is actually a fourth-order Skywalker who has taken over this task, and the employer has already given him the task considering that people can fly and is fast, but he hasn't had time to remove it from the blackboard." ”

The fourth-order skywalker came to pick up the delivery task! Is it already so difficult to make money now? Qi Wanli felt a little bald.

Originally, he wanted to save some money while making some entanglements, and get some materials that could be used to concoct the Skywalker Talisman Potion, but now?

You must know that after Dark Yuan got the secret cultivation method of the Sky Walker of the Star Tower provided by Lin Feifei, he had already begun to deduce and gave a plan with a high probability of success, which was very important, even urgent.

"Money, money, where to get money?"

For Qi Wanli, this feeling is extremely familiar. In the past, he had to work while going to school to make money, so that he and his sister could not starve to death and not be without books, and at that time, he was racking his brains every day to think about how to make money.

He stared at the small notebook full of words, and thought and thought, and suddenly his eyes stopped on the list of materials that had recently appeared.

The price of these materials fluctuates greatly, mainly because most of them belong to some highly mutated monsters that have just been discovered recently, and the main function of these prices has not yet been figured out.

If it is used as a drug, what is the effect of the drug? What diseases are mainly treated? Are there any side effects? What other materials are more effective with it?

If they are forged, can they withstand beating? Do they have a special tolerance to certain divine powers? Are they suitable weapons for martial artists, or are they a medium for Skywalkers and Life Dependents to cast spells?

You must know that in this era, there is no complete and systematic process manufacturing production line, and they are basically made behind closed doors and explored by themselves, and even places like Xingchen Tower can only ensure that the top disciples can have suitable high-level props without obvious side effects.

Not to mention the medicine.

In this era when life dependents below the fifth order can meet most of the needs of ordinary injuries and diseases, even the herbal medicine process is still extremely backward, although people have found that the materials on individual monsters can also be used in medicine, but it is too risky and costly, and almost no one studies it.

For hundreds of years, there have been extremely few examples of monster materials being used in medicine, and they are all in the hands of the high-level leaders of several major temples, and large organizations like the Mercenary Guild naturally have some relatively low-level secret recipes for monster materials and medicines.

Qi Wanli of other continents didn't know, at least in the southern continent, there were very few people who could really talk about the function and utility of each monster material.

When he was in the White Bear Tribe, Mr. Fang mentioned an organization called the Polymath Society. It was a loose organization, of which he was a member, with members spread to all corners of the Southern Continent and small strongholds in each city.

The members of the Polymath Society can report their new discoveries about the world to the organization from time to time, and exchange some research results from others from the organization to enrich their knowledge.

And there are many appraisers in the Polymath Society who have studied monster materials deeply, and it is from this that Mr. Fang has gained a lot of knowledge in this area, and his daughter Fang Xiaofang can become a craftsman with a little achievement.

"Appraiser. ”

Qi Wanli narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Although he doesn't have the knowledge reserve in this area, he has the dark element! He has experienced the powerful scanning and analysis function of the dark element, and he believes that there is no problem with just a few monster materials.

Although the mercenary union in Breeze City has its own appraiser, the old man in his seventies and eighties has a hard time reading a word, and he is very slow to identify things, and his temper is still big, and the mercenaries have long been fed up with his anger, and he still has a very promising future to do appraisal business here.

The only problem is how to convince everyone that he has the ability to identify materials, otherwise no matter how fanciful he says, it will be useless if everyone doesn't believe it.

Soon, a rough plan came up in his head.

"White girl, how much money do we have left?" Qi Wanli asked, turning his head.

Bai Qiyu sighed and replied helplessly: "It's not much, now there are only fifty-three silver coins and twenty-two copper coins left, and if they are not recorded, we can't even afford to live in a hotel." ”

Qi Wanli nodded, quickly flipped through the small notebook, and after secretly communicating with Dark Yuan, he quickly locked on to the target and said, "Come, give me forty silver coins." ”

"What are you going to do!" Bai Qiyu nervously tightened his pockets containing money, this was all their net worth now.

"Believe me, I have a way to make money. Qi Wanli showed an unreliable smile, and muttered beside Bai Qiyu for a long time.

Ten minutes later, Bai Qiyu swaggered to the big blackboard, found the staff in charge of material quotations, and said calmly: "No. 5 unknown material, is there still a transaction?"

The staff didn't raise his head, flipped through the thick ledger in front of him, and said: "It's still there, quote forty silver coins, if you need to appraise it, please go to the appraiser on the right hand, and the appraisal fee is two silver coins." ”

Bai Qiyu was silent for three seconds, and then as if he was betting on the gambling table, he gritted his teeth and sprinkled forty-two silver coins in front of the staff, and said, "I want it." ”

The staff is not surprised at all, there are many mercenaries here who dream of making a fortune, and after they have some savings, they often come to buy those mysterious unknown materials, hoping to identify a big treasure and sell it for a good price.

So, he wrote a few strokes on the ledger, turned around and entered the small warehouse behind, and after a while, he walked out with a small box in his hand, handed it to Bai Qiyu, and said weakly according to the process: "According to the consignor's description, this is something found in a pile of highly mutated monster corpses, it was pulled from the hands of a troll who died miserably, I can't be sure what it is, are you sure you want it, right?"

"That's right!" Bai Qiyu thought of the confident appearance of Qi Wanli just now, and lowered his head emphatically.

The staff didn't say anything more and handed the locket to Bai Qiyu.

Bai Qiyu opened the box, only to see that it contained a fist-sized, black and round thing, on which no divine power fluctuations could be felt, only a faint fishy smell.

At this moment, the staff raised the small wooden hammer in his hand, struck the gong on the table, and shouted: "Unknown Material No. 5 has been sold!"

For a moment, the entire mercenary union turned their attention to it, with a lively expression on their faces.

They want to see if this is going to be a lucky guy or, like most people, just a big wrongdoer?
