Chapter 38: The Timber Merchant ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of breaking through the sky, and a black shadow was seen flying above the sky.
Cross hadn't left yet, and the moment he looked at the black shadow, his footsteps couldn't help but stop, his mind spun quickly, and his face hesitated.
I don't know whether I should run first and save this noble lady as a stumbling block, or should I rush to the noble lady at this time and put on a "sacrifice for protection" to gain a good impression on those people in my village.
However, he didn't hesitate for long, the black shadow approached much faster than he judged, and flew close in a few seconds.
Cross didn't know what kind of monster it was, but he could see the two pendants hanging from the monster's chest and a ground stone sheep prey held under the monster's feet.
As he thought, the monster was the noble lady's pet, and it was just released to hunt.
This aristocratic lady, maybe really on a picnic?
Cross couldn't understand the meaning of dining in the wild, but the nobleman's behavior was not something he could understand, so he just bowed his head respectfully.
Let Mao Hao put down the prey, Lu Xi couldn't wait to pull Mao Mao, "Quick, Mao Hao, you set fire to burn this piece again, I just knew that the dandelion would suck blood!" ”
She is also a member of the red dandelion, but she likes it because it is the same color as her own "red".
After hearing Lu Xi explain what had just happened, he immediately raised his head and began to breathe fire in all directions.
Under the impetus of the fire element, it was quickly burned out of an extremely clean clearing.
Lu Xi looked at the layer of steel-like scales on Mao Hao's body, and couldn't help but sigh, the red dandelion seeds, even if they were stained on Mao Hao's body, would have no effect at all.
Laughing to death, not breaking the defense at all.
Xiao Yuan didn't watch from the sidelines, under the command of Lu Xi, he controlled the wind element, and blew all the places where the red dandelion seeds might be hidden, trying not to leave any danger.
At this time, Lu Xi found that Cross had stayed where he was and had not moved, and was puzzled, "Why haven't you gone back yet?" ”
Krossze for a moment, and he could say that he was about to leave when he noticed a monster approaching with something he didn't know what it was, so he stopped and prepared to show himself.
It turned out that the monster was simply a pet that was raised, and he couldn't do anything he wanted, and he couldn't advance or retreat for a while.
Lu Xi also asked casually, and without waiting for Cross to answer, he waved his hand, "Forget it, you can go back quickly." ”
Cross looked at the two magic pets and understood the confidence of this noble lady to travel alone, such a magic pet who can know elemental magic, if you want to destroy a village like theirs, you can do it with a raised hand.
And this noble lady, she brought two magic pets, although one of them is still a cub, but who said that monster cubs can't beat them.
With the protection of this kind of force value, and within the scope of her own territory, it is no wonder that this noble lady has no fear.
Of course, even if you meet a nobleman who doesn't have any magic pets, don't have any bad intentions.
Elemental artifacts are expensive items that are difficult for ordinary civilians to access, but for nobles, even if they are broken, they will have at least a few inherited elemental artifacts on their bodies to protect themselves.
It's not a black mercenary with strong combat effectiveness, or some bandits with elemental warrior abilities, ordinary people don't think about how to hurt the nobles, they can't do it.
For example, the elemental robe on Lu Xi's body, let's just put it this way, she stood there, let these ordinary people punch and kick her all day, and the defensive ability of the elemental robe would not weaken a bit.
Only an attack that is also an elemental power can break through the defense of the elemental robe, or a powerful force that exceeds the limit, such as a tail that Lu Xi gave Lu Xi all his strength, although it will not break the defense at one time, but if you flick a few more tails, the elemental robe will definitely be useless.
In addition, the nobles will basically have a "bloodline elemental spell", which is used to mark family members of the same bloodline, once a family member dies, they will feel it, and they can even follow the traces of the elemental spell to find the place of death, and then through some backtracking elemental spells, what happened can be clearly known.
For example, the village chief of Kuwa Village, Lu Li, because he once served as a trainee knight of a nobleman, knew these things, and his attitude towards Lu Xi would be so friendly, and he didn't even dare to let Lu Xi have an accident within the scope of his village.
Ordinary civilians won't know so much, but as long as they remember not to "provoke" the nobles, they will basically be fine.
Cross didn't dare to say anything, lowered his head and wrapped his loose bathrobe around his upper body, and trotted away.
It wasn't until the surrounding area was burned into a large open space that Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know where the red dandelion seeds fell, as if he was preparing to sleep, and found that a needle had fallen out of the bed, and he hadn't found it after looking for a long time, maybe he would prick himself when he would.
After destroying all the dandelions that could be seen around, regardless of whether they were ripe or not, Lu Xi looked at the mother-in-law who had not been collected on the three disposable farmlands, hesitated for a moment, and finally harvested them in advance and put them in the system backpack.
She can continue to get stuck in time and not harvest, delaying the time to complete the task, but the group of people obviously know the seedlings of the red dandelion, and when they see this piece, they must be afraid, it is better to put it away, so as not to have any accidents.
After everything was put away, the system notification popped up.
[System Notice: Congratulations to players for completing the "Challenge Quest (8) - Planting and Harvesting" and obtaining the task reward "80 Challenge Coins, 800 Experience Points.] 】
[System Prompt: Plants full of danger will also have its unique use, players can find the advantages of dangerous plants with a discerning eye, but sometimes, the "danger" itself needs more attention from the player. 】
Don't be ridiculous, I know, Lu Xi pursed her lips and looked at the system prompt, obviously it seemed that there was no problem with the wording, but she always felt ridiculed by the system.
[Challenge Mission (9) - Timber Merchant: The player has stored a large amount of timber in the system warehouse, and an unknown merchant decides to come and buy the surplus timber in the player's hand after hearing the news, and the player can decide how much to sell. 】
[Reward: 90 Challenge Coins, 900 Experience Points, Unknown.] 】
Lu Xi also thought that she was going to start her extreme rush - spending more than ten minutes to let Mao Hao take her back to the farm to complete the task, and then rush back after completing the task, it should not affect her to do the side quest.
But I didn't expect that next to the mission introduction of Challenge Mission (9), there is an icon with a small round button, and the two big words "Summon" are written on it.
Lu Xi looked around, Cross went back and brought those companions of his again, it would take at least half an hour, and there would be no outsiders to disturb him, so he directly pressed the summoning button.
Lu Xi blinked, she didn't see any extra movement, and she was about to take another look at the details of the mission when a gust of wind suddenly blew.
Lu Xi closed his eyes to avoid the blowing wind, and when he opened his eyes, an unknown person wearing a gray cloak, whose whole body was wrapped in the cloak, and who could not distinguish his gender, appeared in front of him.
【Timber Merchant】
Lu Xi looked at the font on the top of the big brother's head, and couldn't help but want to ask about this game system, aren't you a "leisure farm"? How can you mix and match so many other games!
There are no "timber merchants" in leisure farms! Isn't that a duplication of the function of the "Portal Box"?!
"Hello?" Lu Xi said hello.
The timber merchant himself stood still and did not react, but a system panel suddenly popped out.
【Timber Merchant: Hello (ω)】
Yes...... Is it a dialog box, Lu Xi thought indifferently and speechlessly, the dialog box has been refreshed with new text.
[Timber Merchant: Are you selling timber?] [_?] 】
"Uh, it's me." Lu Xi looked at the motionless timber merchant himself, and then at the chat dialog box with cute emojis.
[Timber Merchant: (. ω。 How much wood do you want to sell? 】
Without waiting for Lu Xi to answer, another system panel suddenly opened and unfolded in front of Lu Xi's eyes, which was a price list.
Lu Xi glanced at it casually, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked back several times.
“…… This price is really fake. ”
It's not that Lu Xi doesn't want to believe it, the main thing is that the price gap is too big, and the system buys 15 copper coins for sand and gravel wood a piece, which gives a price of 1500 copper coins a piece.
That's a hundredfold difference!!
[Timber Merchant: Of course it's a real duck, we won't deceive the guests.
Lu Xi was suspicious and suspicious, but the advantage was in front of him, and if he didn't take advantage of it, it seemed to be a big loss.
It just so happened that the warehouse in her system was full of wood, and it was the right time to clean it up.
She did sell a lot of wood in order to clear the space in the last draw...... But she also drew a lot of wood, and the amount is still so much.
Lu Xi first selected 10,000 pieces of sand and gravel wood to sell, not much, and it occupied her ten system warehouse grids.
Fortunately, one of the more human things about the game system is that Lu Xi's system backpack and various warehouses are connected, and they can be taken out and put in directly, otherwise she will have to go back to the warehouse at home to get wood, which is a toss.
[System Notification: Congratulations to the player for getting 150 gold.] 】
Lu Xi felt that she was a little floating, obviously she sold more than 10,000 pieces of wood and received 150 gold coins, she actually felt ...... A little less?
Of course, it was sold again, a total of 30,000 pieces of frost dew tree wood and 40,000 pieces of sand and gravel tree wood were sold, and Lu Xi earned a total of 900 gold coins.
Lu Xi was shocked by this speed of making money, of course, she still had some wood in her backpack, but Lu Xi was the kind of person who habitually kept a part of it, just in case, and didn't like one-time studs.
So I didn't use the rest of the wood.
[Timber Merchant: Aren't you going to continue selling?|ω')]
Lu Xi hesitated, looked at the wood left in the system warehouse, and nodded hesitantly, "I'm sold out." ”
[Timber Merchant: Do you want to see our vending shop?] ()っ/凵】
Another game panel pops up.
It was full of items for sale, but to Lu Xi's surprise, the things on it didn't look like they were produced by the game system, but like the items she bought in the human town.
Speaking of which, this timber merchant doesn't look like something in the game system at all.
Lu Xi thought as he flipped through the list of goods for sale.
There are two main categories of goods sold, one is ordinary items, the price is between copper coins and silver coins, and the other is elemental magic weapons, the price is mostly gold coins.
It is also because of this that Lu Xi does not feel like it is produced by the system, after all, the game system will not deliberately separate any "elemental magic weapons", at most only "special effects".
Lu Xi is not stupid, so he can naturally see that the effects of many system props are actually no different from those of elemental magic weapons.
The list of common items includes "a gray velvet quilt", "a set of gold and jade tea sets", "a box of white alfalfa pills", "a barrel of craft golden wheat wine", "a sheep wool coat of ground stone", etc., all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The price is not too high, at least it is nearly half the price when Lu Xi bought it in the human town.
In the column of elemental magic weapons, the price is even lower, for example, an elemental robe with a similar effect to Lu Xi's body only costs 30 gold coins.
When Lu Xi bought it at the auction house, he spent a full 100 gold coins!
After experiencing the incident of the red dandelion, Lu Xi felt the danger of the other world, but the elemental robe was not often worn after all, and it was not convenient.
Looking at the various elemental magic weapons at cheap prices on the system panel, Lu Xi turned on the state of "buy, buy, buy".
Bracelet of defense function, 61 gold coins, bought.
The necklace of the defense function, 83 gold, bought.
Defensive function ring, 115 gold coins, bought.
……
[System Prompt: Players cannot purchase this item due to insufficient purchase credit.] 】
The system prompt that popped up suddenly stopped Lu Xi from continuing to chop his hands.
Lu Xi was not happy, she calculated, it only cost a few hundred gold coins, in addition to the gold coins that had just been sold, she also had a deposit of more than a thousand gold coins, why was the balance insufficient.
However, after a closer look, Lu Xi found that it was a "purchase quota".
Only then did she realize that there was a number in the bottom right corner of the game board.
[Purchase Limit: (867/900)]
Therefore, the purchase amount is actually the value of the goods she sells to the timber merchant, and how much money she sells to the timber merchant can buy as much as she can buy from the timber merchant.
No wonder it's so cheap.
Lu Xi suddenly looked at the items that he was about to buy but failed to buy because of the insufficient purchase amount, and Lu Xi didn't have the intention of having to buy them.
Although as long as you scrape together some timber and sell it to timber merchants, you can increase the purchase amount, but Lu Xi buys a lot of things, and it is not bad for this one, it is good to be able to buy it, and it is not a loss if you can't buy it.
Compared with this, Lu Xi was more curious about another thing.
"After this transaction, will you show up next time?"
[Timber merchant: *(ˊˋ*)*As long as the guest needs it, I will appear at any time~]
[Timber Merchant: However, please prepare goods worth more than 500 gold coins in advance, the value of the goods is too low, and the summoning may fail ()]
There are always people who are worried about Luxi's safety.
But there's no need to worry about that......
Not counting Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao, the only people who can pose a threat to Lu Xi are currently the village chief of Lu Li and the dragon hunting mercenary group.
But the village chief of Luli has to take care of the family of Kuwa Village and will not do anything to Luxi.
Although the dragon hunting mercenary group is not an absolute good person, it will not do anything to attack innocent people.
If you want to ask why.
Of course, it's because they won't do it, that's why I wrote about them (Shock)
With Xiaoyuan and Maomi, Lu Xi was able to walk sideways in most situations.
In addition, Lu Xi itself is not powerless.
Don't ignore the power-ups given by the game system! There are other ways to use them!
