Chapter 18
When Ye Xu was called down to drink the soup, he had already fought hard enough to kill enough thorn monsters. Hearing the voice outside the game cabin, he hurriedly went offline to take a breath. He really didn’t want to see the thorn monster again, he couldn’t bear it for a second.
After taking a break from drinking soup, I went to the flower room to wash my eyes with the beautiful flowers, and then I logged into the game again. After opening the map to find the location of Novice Village, he left this thorn forest without looking back.
After nearly a day of work, in addition to exactly 1,000 thorns in his package, there are as many as 230 thorn seeds. Don’t look at the fact that Ye Xu picked two seeds from a thorn before. In fact, the explosion rate of this thing is quite low, and most of the time, only one can be collected.
Ye Xu couldn’t accept that such an expensive thing could not be sold for a good price. As he walked, he wondered how to make a lot of money from the village chief. The seeds of thorns must be planted to grow thorns, right?
In addition to the thorns, he also picked up more than 20 silver coins, all thanks to his little butterfly. So many silver coins are more than 2,000 copper coins. If Ye Xu had to dig in the soil himself, he might just choose to give up picking up the money.
Other bits and pieces of potion materials exploded a lot, but unfortunately they were not worth much. Not a single skill book has been published. If you come to this strange area, there will be no skill book. There are more than one hundred equipment, Ye Xu changed some to himself, and the rest can be sold.
Gained a lot, but unfortunately the experience value did not increase much. Up to now, he has only less than 40% of his experience, and after reaching level 6, the experience given by the thorn monster is slightly less.
Looking at the levels of other people, I found that several have reached the seventh level, and even one has reached the eighth level. At level 8, it is estimated that there are more tasks to do, and the rest of the people are probably going to the more advanced monster area to leapfrog monsters. There are very few high-level players like Ye Xu who kill level 6 monsters.
However, if he guessed correctly, ordinary players should generally only be level 5 or 6, and because they couldn’t beat level 6 monsters, they were all struggling in the level 5 monster area. Because Ye Xu had killed the thorn monster for so long without encountering other players, even if the mountain behind the village was huge, there were many monster areas, and the players were not willing to climb the mountain, it wouldn’t be so exaggerated.
This was all he thought about on the way back to the village, but he wasn’t really sure if his reasoning was correct. Seeing the entrance to the village, he quickly looked around to find the position of the village chief.
After a while, he found the village chief who was enjoying the cool air under the big tree, and there were a lot of players around him who were trying to pick out some quests. He didn’t rush over, but planned to deal with the equipment in the package first.
After turning in the task, he must return the extra backpack. He can’t put so much equipment in his backpack alone, and it will be very embarrassing at that time. Anyway, the task is there and can’t run, and it’s fine to hand it in later.
At this time, Gusuli and the others are needed to help. Ye Xu asked Tiantian Dali for Gusuli’s contact information so that someone could help him set up a stall and sell things. At this stage, only the life professions in the guild have time to do this. player. Ye Xu asked directly who could help him set up a stall in Gusu, and he could pay 20% of the hard work.
Ye Xu, who had just received a huge sum of 5 gold coins, was very forthright and no longer felt bad for these small coins.
As a result, Gusuli asked him in surprise: “Don’t you know the auction house is open? When the first player in the village reaches level 5, the system will prompt you. Players who reach level 5 can go to the auction house to trade.”
Ye Xu was stunned for a moment, he really didn’t know. At that time, he should be killing the weasel boss with Dali and the others. He was so happy to be separated, and he didn’t have time to care about other things.
He thanked Gusuli for the reminder and hurried to the auction to check it out. The auction in this village is located near the center of the village. It is a spacious hall, but the decoration is not very good. It is estimated that it is in line with the setting of the small broken village.
Although it is an auction house, it actually accepts consignment sales. The entire auction system is divided into three sales modes:
The first is to set the price for consignment, which is similar to the price clearly marked in the supermarket.
The second is the auction, which sets the base price and the range of each increase, and then sets the time. The person with the highest bid at the end can take the item, or set a buy-in price. As long as someone offers this price, they can take it away in advance. .
The last one is the weekly large-scale auction. The system will automatically retrieve qualified products from the current auction mall, and include them in the auction after the seller agrees. After the auction every Sunday, the auction will be conducted uniformly. Prior to this, the auction house would use the system announcement to advertise these products, so the transaction price at the auction would generally be much higher than the actual price.
These three modes all require a handling fee. No matter if the item is sold or the time is up and no one buys it and returns it, the handling fee is non-refundable. The handling fee for different models is also different, the consignment is 5%, and the auction is 10%.
Generally speaking, it is kind. If the handling fee is not charged at all, or if the fee is extremely low, there will definitely be resellers who will deliberately join forces to set a high price. Now they don’t dare, for fear that no one will buy it if the price is set high, and they will lose the handling fee.
All the equipment Ye Xu wants to sell can be thrown directly into the auction house. The price given by the system is generally quite reasonable, it will never lose money, and it is relatively close to the market price.
After throwing all the things in the backpack and leaving it to the system to operate, Ye Xu left directly. Returning to the entrance of the village again, he trotted over and squeezed into the crowd, shouting, “Mr. Village Chief, I’m back.”
The village chief who was squinting and dozing off suddenly woke up, he quickly turned his head to look at Ye Xu, and asked in surprise, “You have collected a thousand thorns so quickly?!”
Ye Xu nodded: “It’s all in the backpack, shall I give it to you now?”
“Don’t, don’t.” The village chief waved his hand quickly, “It’s inconvenient here, you can come to my house with me, I’ve vacated a warehouse for you, just to put that pile of things.”
After talking about getting rid of the players who were still entangled, he led Ye Xu away. The others looked at Ye Xu enviously, and as soon as they heard this conversation, it was obvious that some task had been completed. Some people didn’t give up and followed them from a distance and didn’t want to leave. They didn’t turn around until they were locked outside the village chief’s house.
Ye Xu found the warehouse and directly threw the thorns into it. The thorns collected are actually a whole lump as big as the thorn monster, and there are ten vines on it, which can be cut off one by one and wrapped around the fence. So it is said that there are 1,000 plants. In fact, the number can be doubled tenfold. Otherwise, 1,000 plants would not be enough to arm the entire village.
Looking at these thorny thorns, the village chief smiled and lost his eyes: “Great! In the future, our village will not be afraid of those jackals!”
This mutant thorn vine has thorns. When attacking the slime before, the “Bleeding” debuff was added to the slime, because the thorn thorn tore the wound. However, the slime’s anti-high blood is thick, and he doesn’t care about the deduction of blood. If you change to another player, it is estimated that a lot of red potions will be wasted.
After placing the thorns, Ye Xu quickly returned the backpack to the other party. He just wanted to get the quest reward and leave now, and he didn’t want to have anything to do with the village chief anymore.
He very much doubts that the village chief may issue another task of “cutting down the thorn vines and installing them on the fence”. That’s tens of thousands of thorny vines, he was crazy to take this task.
– unless it’s a purple quest.
It’s a pity that purple quests are impossible. This is the second day after the game is launched, and it is already very good to be able to have blue quests. The village chief is not so mad, so there is no follow-up to this mission.
After he counted the number, he nodded with satisfaction, praised “youth and promising”, and then gave the reward readily.
[Congratulations to the player for completing the blue task “Collecting Mutated Thorns”, obtaining 4 gold coins, 60% experience, 25 achievement points, and the item [The Ring of Demons]. 】
Perhaps because the demand for this task was too large, and Ye Xu completed it alone, the reward for the task was generous. At least he was very generous in gold coins, and gave five directly. As for the experience, he just sent Ye Xu to more than 90%, and he didn’t upgrade directly. He had to find a way to make up for that last bit of experience.
The remaining equipment reward, Ye Xu, did not rush to look at the attributes, but seized the opportunity to sneak away, and did not give the village chief another chance to catch his strong man. When he walked out of the courtyard, he remembered that he forgot to ask the village chief if thorns could be used, but thinking about the workload of that warehouse, he was a little hesitant to go back.
Thinking that other NPCs in the village might really not need thorn seeds, and only the village chief has a market, he reluctantly turned around and went back to the warehouse. The village chief was still fondly stroking the barbs on the thorns. The barbs were dark green and looked very difficult to provoke. The village chief was not afraid of cutting his hands.
Seeing Ye Xu’s return, he asked suspiciously, “Is there anything else you haven’t explained clearly?”
“Yes.” Ye Xu nodded, took out a seed and handed it to him, “This is a seed of thorns, I don’t know if you need it or not.”
The village chief took it over and studied it for a while, then shook his head regretfully: “These seeds have lost their vitality. I’m afraid that thorns will not be able to grow. However, it has a lot of magic power attached to it, and it should have other uses.”
It turned out that Ye Xu was a little disappointed. I originally thought that I could rely on it to deduct some benefits from the village chief, but now it seems that it is not possible. Forget it, he went to ask Sarah, the proprietress.
After saying goodbye to the village chief, Ye Xu went to the grocery store again. Sarah still leaned on the counter in a charming manner and winked at the female players who came and went, completely ignoring the male players next to her.
However, when Ye Xu appeared, she immediately shot over with a resentful look, as if she saw a scumbag. Ye Xu was furious at him, and wanted to turn his head and leave.
“Little Leaf~” Sarah’s nickname shouted in twists and turns, giving people goosebumps. “What are you doing here again? You cheated me of a lot of money last time.”
Ye Xu kept away from the other party vigilantly: “If you insist on talking about this topic, then let’s talk about the deep lynx cat meat…”
Sarah immediately changed her mouth and said seriously: “Brave young man, what do you need? Blue potion or red potion? Oh, do you want meat buns?”
These remarks made Ye Xu feel the feeling of “Young man, did you drop this golden axe or this silver axe”, and he was speechless for a while.
“I won’t buy anything this time.” He quickly took out the thorn seeds and handed them over, interrupting the other party’s chatter. “This is the seed I collected from the mutant thorns. I want to ask you what it is useful for.”
The proprietress really knew that, for the sake of the **** cat meat, she didn’t deliberately sell it, and said directly: “I have seen this thing used by a distinguished enchanter. It should be some kind of enchanting material.”
Enchanting is one of the occupations of life, and it seems that thorn seeds are also a kind of material. Ye Xu thanked the proprietress kindly, ran to the messenger in the village, sent the seeds to the eldest brother, and sent a message to the eldest brother in the chat box to inform him about the seeds.
They can only learn casting in their village, and other villages may have learning channels for enchanting. Giving things to the big brother is more convenient for the other party to coordinate the distribution. After all, the big brother is in charge of the mobilization of property in the guild.
Ye Xu guessed that he might have to do things like going to the messenger to send things more often in the future. Fortunately, you only need to pay 10 copper coins to send a letter, otherwise Ye Xuguang will die of poverty by sending a letter.
After sending it, he took the time to look at the attributes of the Ring of Demons that he had just given. He thought that he had already done two blue missions, so should he be given blue equipment?
