Chapter 29: 1 gold coin bought 5 boxes of milk?
"What's so strange about it? It's ancient stuff, who knows if it's supernatural or not? It's probably all the same in its programming!" Zhenyu waved her hand and yawned.
"The invisibility potion is about to expire, what should we do? Just wait here?"
The fishmen were having a feast in the room, and more and more people were gathering. It looked like it wouldn't end until dawn.
The four of them were getting sleepy while sneaking around at night, so after discussing it, they decided to find a secluded spot to log off and agree to check back the next morning.
……
Fang Qi actually saw Little Crouching Dragon, but he didn't have time to pay attention to him.
He was frantically buying, selling, and processing goods in the room, keeping himself extremely busy.
Besides gold coins, the fishmen also invested a lot of equipment and materials.
Some of them were standard equipment, like spoils of war obtained from raids on Talos's army;
Some of them look like they were salvaged from a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea, covered in rust and appearing quite old.
But overall, they all have some value.
"Don't judge a book by its cover. These guys look shabby, but they're actually quite rich!"
Fang Qi sighed, leaving behind the rare items and things that might be useful later, and then packed up and digested all the other low-level items in his stomach into asset index.
"A good business is one where customers are well-fed!"
Compared to pirates and players who try every means to get something for free, the fishmen are much more honest. When they say they want to buy alcohol, they actually pay for it and don't have any crooked thoughts.
They not only buy for themselves, but also for the gods.
One cup for fish, one cup for God – buying two at once shows a strong sense of faith!
"Gurgle... Let's do the connection ritual again, and then the deity will descend, right?" a merman priest said drunkenly.
"If you had something to say, say it in the link. Why did you say it out loud?" The old priest next to it glared at it and patted its head hard.
"We're all here, and there are no outside fish," the merman priest retorted.
"The scales have all been sent out... glug glug... just waiting for the deity to descend." The merman officer shook his cup.
The old priest wanted to stop them, but then he thought that since all the clansmen were there, it was indeed unlikely that they could be sneaked in and eavesdropped on.
He glanced at the fishmen, their eyes bloodshot from drinking, sighed, and closed the door.
"I wonder if the decision to summon 'Gulgar' was the right one." It muttered to itself as it walked to a corner.
There was no one at the scene, but someone was eavesdropping.
Fang Qi listened with great interest, nodding repeatedly as he opened the bucket lid.
Hmm, so the next ceremony can be held in three days, and the descent only takes half a day.
Four days ahead of schedule, excellent tactics!
Oh, there's also a bait plan, setting up a fake altar to attract the attention of the Talosian Guard.
Even fishmen have learned to scheme.
However, they certainly didn't expect that their so-called plan had already been exposed. Even the players had already sneaked onto the island, so how far away could the guard group be?
Oh dear, I'm planning to use up my inventory to exchange for a thousand cups of "salt blood" to offer to God.
That's great! But it seems there are only 400 cups left in stock...
Even if you secretly add some water and sell it at the same price but with a reduced quantity, you can only sell 600 cups.
Adding water will affect the results.
This was the first time Fang Qi had experienced the frustration of not having enough stock to sell.
"We need to find a way to build some production lines in the future. It's not a good idea to keep reselling like this without having our own products."
He was thinking that once he returned to Akasha, he would have to find a way to get some high-end goods through Roshi's channels.
Let's see if we can combine and piece together some kind of automatic medicine-making machine.
With Rosie's talent, it's a waste of her abilities to just concoct low-level potions. She should focus on advancing technology and developing new formulas.
For bulk shipments, it's best to leave it to specialized equipment.
Before we knew it, dawn was breaking.
The fishmen hurried away, and the old priest also went out, seemingly to change shifts.
Everyone had some free time, except for Fang Qi.
The door, which had been closed, suddenly opened a crack, letting in a little light.
Immediately afterwards, four semi-transparent figures squeezed in through the crack in the door, creating a strong sense of stealth.
"If the mysterious merchant can't find us, won't it malfunction and refuse to deliver the goods?" Xiao Wolong whispered.
Zhenyu rolled her eyes at him: "You underestimate ancient technology. With thermal imaging and such, you wouldn't be able to escape it."
Fang Qi could naturally see the four people who had used invisibility potions.
As a hidden leader and a mimicry of mimicry, he was created specifically to deceive players. How could he not see through such a low-level disguise?
Not to mention, these familiar faces still have their IDs clearly displayed above their heads.
I wonder how many gold coins they brought this time.
I've been grinding through hidden quests for several days. Even if I spent money quickly in the early stages, I should still have some savings, right?
The four entered the room, but their first action was not to find Fang Qilai to make a deal. Instead, they scattered and began rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
Perhaps because of the infiltration mission, they weren't as wild as they were in Morning's secret room last time. They actually handled things carefully and even put them back in their place after searching through them.
A moment later, they gathered in front of Fang Qi.
Yu Yuan: "Did you find the quest item?"
Zhenyu rummaged in her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper:
"Hey, isn't it written in Murloc language, 'Precautions for using the Magic Barrel'..."
Du Ge shook his head: "It's obviously not a 'sou' (a type of food item), it looks like a redemption menu. I'm guessing it's a new item from a merchant."
He made the same gesture, rummaged in his pocket, and pulled out a small booklet: "I did find a quest item."
Fang Qi looked over, and it was the same as always: a blank book.
It's exclusive to the player quest module, so he can't see it.
Du Ge tapped his finger in the air a few times, seemingly sharing the panel.
Later, others also reached out and clicked.
"The merfolk actually resorted to trickery, using a diversionary tactic?"
"There are still four days until the conquest begins. Let's submit our items as soon as possible... How do we submit them?"
The four of them looked at each other in silence.
Du Ge pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "The warships aren't far away, but we don't have any ships. Are we supposed to find a way to raid pirate ships?"
"Forget it, let's find the merchant first, we'll talk about the rest when we get back!" he said, and walked towards the wine barrel.
The coin slot is much larger than last time, making it much more convenient.
Du Ge pulled out handfuls of gold coins from his backpack and threw them in.
Asset Index +1000.
A whole thousand gold coins!
Fang Qi gasped.
Therefore, making money still depends on the players.
It's only been a few days, and it's already almost caught up with Mourning's savings.
"You're getting a good deal!" Seeing Du Ge's sincerity, Fang Qi simply offered the new product ahead of time.
Puff puff.
Open the bucket lid and spray out five sealed small cans.
Du Ge reached out and scooped it up.
The Tranquilizing Grenade is a consumable item made primarily from milk, supplemented with various other ingredients.
After drinking it, the spiciness can be reduced within 30 minutes, but there seem to be other uses as well.
"So... I painstakingly saved up a thousand gold coins, only to get five cans of milk? This machine must be a fake!"
However, Du Ge was just making a rant.
Given his intelligence, and considering the item's name and the small print below that says "throwing it at a certain time will have a miraculous effect," it's not hard to deduce that this milk is some kind of item that reduces the difficulty of the level.
After all, the players have already reached a consensus:
Produced by a mysterious businessman, its quality is unknown, but it is sure to have miraculous effects.
