Chapter 29: Finally opened up sales channels
Although the quality of the sea tribe Naga is good, Xiao Ming only intends to let the diver practice forging. This is how he will make big money in the future.
He took a rough walk in the graystone town. He bought a few of everything that was not on the surface, and also bought some blueprints, formulas, crafts and things that looked like antiques, and stored them in the warehouse.
Originally, he planned to transfer the protagonist back to the dead and continue the strategic map. But the task was triggered during the shopping. It was still a familiar task.
In the grocery store, he met the mermaid girl Emily who came to buy on credit. Although she was pretty with blonde hair and blue eyes, her figure was very thin.
Emily is an intermediate jeweler and needs excellent quality pearls to experiment with making the treasure "Water-Repellent Pearl". If she succeeds, she can be promoted to a senior jeweler. So she came to the grocery store to buy on credit from the boss.
Familiar routines, familiar feelings, and the same tune as the promotion of Liu Xiaomei from Baiyang Village to a senior tailor.
They are all tasks for players. There is only one player in the graystone town, the diver, so of course the task can only be bumped into him.
Xiao Ming bought the last pearl of excellent quality in the grocery store with ease, and gave it to Emily after secretly strengthening it.
Emily took out the already made base and inlaid the pearl on it. A flash of light passed by, and Emily was promoted to a senior jeweler, and the ordinary treasure water-repellent beads were successfully made.
It’s okay to upgrade her profession, how come her figure also seems to have improved a little? Mermaids are really a magical race.
Emily successfully upgraded, and the fishman boss of the grocery store immediately smiled, which was completely different from the face that refused to buy on credit just now.
Emily’s face was flushed with excitement. Xiao Ming looked at the treasure handed over by the mermaid girl.
Water-repellent beads: ordinary treasure, can be used by players or free NPCs.
Contains primary water-repellent magic. It consumes 20 mana to activate, and can displace water within a radius of 2 meters with the treasure as the center, which lasts for 10 minutes. If it exceeds 10 minutes, 5 mana points are required per minute to maintain it.
A treasure with great practical value on the surface is just a small gadget in the seabed. Most of the sea creatures know this spell.
That's why Emily made this treasure, because she knows very limited spells. Making familiar things is the most suitable way for poor craftsmen to make a living.
When she reaches a higher level, she can make other things to make money. This water-repellent bead was given to the diver. ——It's actually a task reward.
At the same time, the diver was also given a blue task "The First Show of the Treasure". Emily hopes Xiao Ming can help so that the treasure can be truly practical. And get feedback from users.
The little girl is still very innocent and has requirements for after-sales service.
This task would be very time-consuming and laborious for a pure sea creature player, but it is not difficult for Xiao Ming.
After taking the task, store the water-repellent bead in the warehouse. Then switch to the researcher, take out the treasure from the warehouse at home, go to the small pond outside the bamboo building, and cast a spell.
The water in the pool was completely drained, and a tattered leather armor, a few gold and silver coins, and a rotten corpse were found at the bottom of the pool, with bones exposed.
This is new. I never expected that the villa given by Huo's Chamber of Commerce would have such a dark side. Let's put it away first.
Switch back to the diver and go to the jewelry store. Deliver the task to Emily. The favorability has accumulated to 50 "friends".
You can buy a lot of good things in the jewelry store. This favorability is the highest among all the NPCs Xiao Ming has met.
Adventure treasures: Water Shield Ring: with magic water shield spell; Water Jade Necklace: with magic blessing spell; Ice Crystal Bracelet: with ice arrow magic. There is only one supply of each treasure. The second one can only be bought next week.
Strategic treasure: Water Walking Shoes: Players can consume 5 times the action power of flat ground and walk on the water. They must go ashore before the action power is consumed, otherwise everyone will drown.
Emily has only one of this treasure. The preferential price is 2,000 gold coins.
Xiao Ming gritted his teeth and bought it. Although the surface of the water has not yet been seen on the strategic map. But this kind of treasure really can't be missed.
Xiao Ming took out some products on the surface to show Emily. There are weapons, armor, etc., as well as some crafts that are not related to combat.
(Xiao Ming has not seen the jewelry on the surface.) Emily likes it very much and agrees to put it on consignment in her store.
Because the industry is not the same, the selling price will be a little discounted. But as soon as you look at the price, you can tell that it is 3-5 times the retail price on the surface, which is enough to make money.
It's just that the scale is limited. For the time being, only one piece of crafts can be replenished every day. Weapons and armor can only be replenished once every 3 days.
Mercenaries cannot be bought and sold. In theory, puppets made by researchers can be sold. But not on the seabed.
Without special waterproofing treatment, they cannot be used on the seabed. So according to the rules of the seabed, they cannot be consigned, which is a bit of a pity.
Finally, international trade has been realized. Although Xiao Ming doesn't make much money for the time being, he is very relieved. Buy some non-attribute crafts from Emily. Go back to the blacksmith shop and continue to do his business.
Finally, a green difficult task appeared in the list of the blacksmith shop. "Find the right materials": Old Peter, the fishman blacksmith, wants to forge a level 2 equipment, but lacks advanced materials. Please help, limited to 3 days.
Xiao Ming likes material tasks the most. The normal way is to go to the material store, bribe or buy enough goods, and then you can have the opportunity to buy advanced materials.
Or you can go to the material production area, improve the favorability between you and the workers, and have a chance to buy his collection.
There are always some advanced monsters near the material production area, and there is also a chance to drop materials.
Or if the player is a worker, he can mine by himself.
Xiao Ming can naturally complete the task by strengthening ordinary materials. After thinking about it, Xiao Ming decided to test the materials on land first.
The result was that Old Peter looked down on the excellent iron ingots, but he liked the ordinary iron ingots very much. The task was completed. Old Peter's favorability +10, experience and money.
After getting the new materials, the fishman blacksmith quickly started forging equipment, but unfortunately he didn't have the skills of Emily or Liu Xiaomei, and the forging failed.
In frustration, he decided to sign an indefinite contract with Xiao Ming, purchasing 1 ordinary iron ingot from Xiao Ming at a high price every day until Old Peter succeeded. The purchase price was 5 times the ground price of the iron ingot.
Sure enough, as long as one business is done, others will follow.
When I was not sure what to do next, the message prompted that it was 12 noon and it was time to have lunch. It happened that Xiao Ming entrusted the diver. He exited the game cabin by himself.
As a result, Xiao Jing stayed in the game and waited for half an hour before coming out. The two went out to eat a bowl of noodles, and Xiao Jing hurried back to the game cabin.
What's wrong with this little girl? Just now I asked her about the character in the game, but she kept it secret and refused to tell me. She's so weird.
Xiao Ming already has experience. At this time, the best way is not to be curious. You will know what you should know later, and forget what you shouldn't know. ——What kind of experience is this? It's clearly laziness.
Before returning to the game cabin, Xiao Ming experimented silently for a while and found that magic could not be used on Pangu Star.
But it felt weird again. The magic could not be cast, but there was always a sense of being eager to use it.
Tried meditation again. This can be done, but there is no effect in the game. It seems to be just a simple daze, a bit silly.
