Chapter 399: Showdown
If people are expecting something all the time, then time will slow down.
If someone has been preparing for that event, then, the moment it arrives, it often makes people feel "how can it be so fast".
A week passed in a flash, and Lu Ping'an also tightened a little.
The promotion that can be promoted, the procurement that needs to be procured, is just
"The materials for vocational cultivation and promotion have risen by at least 30%, all kinds of consumables and materials have increased by 40%, and the forbidden items have almost doubled directly, this market price is a bit outrageous."
When Lu Ping'an was also forced to start buying materials, he found that the market had skyrocketed prices beyond specifications, and consumers complained again and again.
"A lot of people are complaining that the sudden closure of trading places has made a lot of black markets go crazy and raise prices like crazy."
This has something to do with me, the opening or closing of a black market, can shake the market of an entire city? They are just making excuses, and I don't know how many scalpers and speculators have made money this time. ”
The market will be relatively stable with the increase in volume, the number of professionals in the ancient city is quite large, the demand is huge and there is a stable trading chain, the market has actually been relatively stable.
But now, many consumables have risen by 30% or 50% at every turn, which is really unbearable.
The real reason? Everybody knows
"The increase in the arcane crystal has more than tripled, which is quite revealing."
Arcane Crystals, a rare ingredient, are mostly used as ritual consumables, and are often used in advanced rituals of the "Third Order Scholar/Partial Scholar".
It is said that it means "subbrain" and "crystallization of memory" in the occult, and it is almost necessary in the third-order career advancement of the scholar department, and it is an optional treasure to increase the success rate and perfection of rituals among professions such as chefs.
From consumption can be reversed from the needs of society, a person can also get a job once, hoarding this thing is expensive and slow to circulate, and the market has always been excessive.
There has really been a massive price increase, and even a price without a market, it can only be.
Many professionals who have been stuck at the peak of the 2nd order for a long time have chosen to advance at this time."
Similar consumables, rare materials, and ritual supplies have also seen a general price increase, and the arcane crystal has risen too outrageously, just because there are too many derivative professions for scholars, and it is convenient to accumulate and improve during peacetime.
Now trying to advance at the same time, there will naturally be a reality of a crazy increase in materials.
"Do we have enough consumables?"
"It's not enough, do you need to buy some?"
"Don't do it for the time being, the funds are a little insufficient."
After looking at the surging supplies, Lu Ping'an could only sigh helplessly.
The crazy advancement of the professionals was expected, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly and so quickly.
The reason is actually that everyone understands that professions and "natural abilities" restrain each other, restrain each other, and stimulate each other, even if the natural abilities are not used, they will gradually grow, and they need to be shackled or even suppressed by the same level of "professions".
But if your talent ability is relatively stable and shows no signs of getting out of hand, a class that is too high will spur the talent ability to grow faster.
As a result, the most suitable way to survive in the peaceful area has appeared, and some people will try their best to level up, increase the breadth and depth of the profession under the premise that the talent ability can still be suppressed, and when it is necessary to advance without rushing to advance, the subsequent accumulation can become a nutritional product for rapid advancement.
This is similar to long-distance running, the first few laps are for you to charge up and adjust the rhythm, go crazy forward, it is very likely that the follow-up background is insufficient, stuck in a certain level, and then caught up by the talent ability, directly out of control and died.
Of course, the premise of being able to do this is always that "the power is enough." Only in a relatively peaceful era and world can we play such luxury.
In many relatively dangerous or highly polluted worlds, how can anyone who breaks through directly if he does not have the opportunity to break through directly suppress his own power.
"Some people are assessing that the danger factor of the world is increasing and must cross this line to ensure safety, and some are planning to take this opportunity to gamble, the world is afraid of slow death, and the same is true for professionals. Instead of waiting for the end of oneself in a peaceful world, it is better to take advantage of the youth to go out and rush, then it is natural to raise one's career and combat power to the current peak. ”
It stands to reason that the birth of a large number of second- and third-order professionals will bring social turmoil and a surge in crime rates, but from the feedback of everyone in the special service team, the work pressure is much less these days.
"Probably because I'm worried about having a criminal record in this world, I can't get out."
"It is also possible that they are worried that the disturbance during this period will attract public anger, and then they will be hunted down and killed by the black and white road at the same time."
Although the price rise is heartbreaking, if you really need advanced materials, you can only grit your teeth and buy them These days, Senior Brother Guan and Senior Sister Hua are gritting their teeth and scolding the profiteers, which makes people sigh.
Lu Ping'an himself? His current few Tier 2 and the Rank 3 of the "Parasitic Tree" are enough for him to slowly consume.
He's not in a hurry, in the words of the big cat, he's progressing too fast, and he needs to lay a solid foundation, instead of thinking about more advancement, it's better to fill in the classes he has already acquired, and fill in some more class abilities. He has been at the lowest level every time, and he has begun to slow down his efficiency in climbing to higher heights.
His career path is sufficient, and the "experience gain" brought by investing in places three times a day is destined to be limited, and he needs more accumulation.
These days, while completing the integration of capabilities, he digests everything that can be "digested", while reading more textbooks and making more targeted investments.
It is worth mentioning that the core decision-making level of the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce has held a meeting before.
"All the members, do you want to go outside to develop?"
This is actually a matter of course, everyone is very young, and they all coincide with the opportunities of the times, and no one wants to miss such a good opportunity.
But the pressure is concentrated on Lu Ping'an's body.
"It's a pity, without the courtyard, our progress will be much slower."
"There is no good thing that does not suffer at all. We can come back when we concentrate here to digest. ”
"Hehe, the trading place has been closed for a long time, and many people will be very uncomfortable."
"That's normal, they should have guessed that the holders of the trading places are also involved in the tide of going to sea."
Looking at the increasingly biased exchange topic, it was obvious that the "trading place" could not be moved as a premise, and Lu Ping'an felt delicate.
Perhaps, this is indeed the common knowledge of most people, the secret realm cannot be moved, after all, in a sense, it is a fragment of the world, a "subspace" hanging on the main plane.
Looking at his companion who was a little regretful but a little helpless, Lu Ping'an was thoughtful.
He can hide it, but what's the point.
"Ahem, our target is the sea of stars, I mean, why have you assumed that the trading place can't follow?"
At that time, the scene was chaotic, some people were shocked and unbelieving, some people couldn't understand, and some people were shocked by the shocking facts and meowed.
Do you know what that means?"
Xia Qin still asked, she was vaguely aware of everything, but Lu Ping'an's calmness exceeded her expectations.
If a secret realm can be moved, then, it is a truly complete "small world", and in her impression, there is only one situation that matches the legend, and that means
"Meaning, we can make a fortune together, I mean, we all have a great future."
With strange words, Lu Ping'an prevaricated.
But someone, or a big cat, suddenly stood up and told the truth very simply.
"Meaning, we don't need to go through the official channel completely, we have our own boat."
"It means that we can carry the contraband at the limit of the crazy smuggling that will be seized by the 'customs'."
"It means that all of you here are walking in the legend, and some of you may also become immortal, just like me in the past."
The big cat spread out its cloak and gradually completed the transformation of form under the incredulous gaze of everyone.
It was a cat, a very large cat, an evil beast full of divine light.
It is present here and naturally absorbs all the light. It attracted the attention of all living beings.
"Again, I'm Keldales, once a balancing scourge beast, but now I'm just a wretched soul imprisoned."
The big cat's revenge came quickly and suddenly.
"Your guess is not wrong, this is the Courtyard of the Afterlife, I, the quasi-god Keldales, am proud of the kingdom of God on earth."
But Lu Ping'an was still smiling, as if he already knew.
