Chapter 1195: Ascending the Tower
"100,000 dollars? ”
When Fengyun learned the price of the so-called spinel rough stone king from the mouth of the leather shop owner, his first reaction was that the person who marked the price went crazy.
According to the market price of standard spinel, one piece can be exchanged for 1,000 yuan, so the person who buys the stone king needs to mine at least 100 spinels to be able to protect the capital, which is quite unlikely.
Not to mention that the spinel mine has been depleted now, even when the spinel mine production is at its highest, the output of spinel is also quite low, and many rough stones that are thought to contain spinel are often left with nothing after opening.
Even if the size of the Stone King is worthy of its title and is the largest rough stone excavated since the mining of spinel mines, it is still too risky to gamble with 100,000 coins.
Obviously, there are not a few people who hold the same opinion as Fengyun, at least there is no shortage of such people in the crowd around him, which can be clearly heard from their discussions.
At this time, Fengyun was about two miles away from the Stone King, more precisely, he was on the roof of a building.
Fengyun found that more and more people went to see the Stone King, and found that no one had flown into the sky, although he didn't know the reason yet, he still chose to be cautious and keep pace with those transformation warriors, but he was very curious about how many spinels the Stone King could eventually mine.
After thinking about it, Fengyun thought of a way, just choose a relatively high position not far away, condescendingly, and watch.
With his eyesight, as long as he was not very far away from the Stone King, it would not be much different from what he could see on the spot.
After some searching, Fengyun and Miao Piao selected a stone building about two miles away from the Stone King, and its height reached ten zhang, which was relatively high among the buildings in the area with the Stone King as the center.
The reason why Fengyun didn't choose the highest was not because he didn't want to choose, but because there were not a few people who had the same idea as him.
Of course, the main reason is that the owners of high-rise buildings are keenly aware of the business opportunity and decide to take advantage of it to make a fortune.
Fengyun and Miao Piao went to the owner of the tallest building and proposed that they wanted to go to the top of the building, but he actually proposed that each person should pay five big money.
Fengyun can't be taken out at all.
He and Miao Piao sold all the animal skins they carried, and they didn't sell them for ten big bucks in total, and when they were wandering around the city, they spent part of their meals, and they couldn't meet the other party's requirements at all.
However, this is not to say that Fengyun does not have anything more valuable, not to mention those immeasurable fire lotus seeds, that is, spinels, and he still has a lot of them.
After getting the spinel, although Fengyun adhered to the principle that good things should be used on himself first, he used a part, but still left a part of it in order to be in case of emergency.
It's just that he wants to exchange spinel for a lot of money, but he can't do it.
Not to mention, those coins in the stone have very big limitations, and can only be used in the Rock City, even if because of the influence of the Rock City, the scope of application can be expanded to outside the Rock City, but Fengyun believes that this atmosphere will not be very large.
This means that Fengyun must melt all the stone coins in his hand before leaving Rock City, and the purpose of his trip is to travel, not to purchase, and to buy too many things, which is harmful to him.
More importantly, he was not sure if the coins would depreciate.
The world didn't know much about the economics of the world before he traveled through it, and knew that coins couldn't be issued in unlimited quantities.
If the maker of the stone coin put a large number of stone coins on the market without limit, its value will inevitably shrink significantly, and as far as he knows, spinel is a real hard currency, always in a state of short supply, and its value is always in an upward channel.
In ancient China, paper money appeared very early, but in the end, it all ended without a problem, the reason is that the issuer of paper money was infinitely overissued, which made the paper money depreciate sharply, and eventually lost credit.
Let him exchange the spinel that is not limited by the scope of application and is constantly appreciating in value for a stone coin with a limited range of use and no idea what will depreciate, unless Fengyun's head is caught by the door, he will never do this.
In addition, it is easy to be targeted by people to exchange spinel for large money, so he and Miao Piao will be in danger, you must know that there are not a few transformation warriors in Rock City.
Even if Fengyun is the best among the transformation warriors, but two fists are hard to beat four hands, and there are more ants that can bite the elephant to death, once there are more people who shoot at him, he doesn't want to let Miao Piao be harmed, it is a big problem to protect himself.
Not to mention, Fengyun could feel that there was a more powerful existence in Rock City than the Transformation Warriors, and there was more than one person, they were different from the previous generation of witches of the Red Eagle Tribe, and they should have truly reached a higher realm than the Transformation Warriors.
Even if Fengyun was quite confident in his strength and skills, he didn't have the confidence to protect himself if he were to face an enemy who was a whole level higher than him.
As the level continues to increase, Fengyun finds more and more that the higher the level, the more difficult it is to be promoted, and once successful, the more obvious the improvement in strength becomes.
Fengyun can be sure that the difference in strength between the Transformation Warrior and the Warrior above it must be greater than that between the high-level Totem Warrior and the Transformation Warrior.
Although it is unlikely that a totem warrior of this level will shoot casually, spinel is not an ordinary thing, it is too tempting/seductive to totem warriors, and it can kill almost all levels.
Fengyun didn't want to put himself in a very dangerous situation just to satisfy his curiosity, but he still decided to try his best and wanted the other party to lower the price.
He succeeded, but he and Miao Piao still had to choose to leave.
It took a lot of saliva to move the other party, from ten big money to nine, but this is still beyond Fengyun's psychological bottom line.
After some hard work, Fengyun finally chose the tall building where he is now, but he still feels a faint pain when he thinks of the price he paid to get to the top.
Three big money and two people, originally the landlord wanted two big money for one person, but he was bargained and lowered, this is because the landlord realized that his building, whether in terms of location or height, is not the best.
Fengyun shook his head, no longer thinking about the price paid for going upstairs, anyway, he still paid it, and if he didn't come back, it was better to make good use of this opportunity and get more gains.
However, the stone king is so big, it is not easy to break it, so you need to prepare and wait for a while.
In the waiting time, Fengyun was not idle, listening to what the people around him were saying.
