Chapter 219: Market leakage (one/three)

Zhao Xu, who slowly walked out of the tavern, couldn't help but weigh the bag of coins in his hand.
Those five players who have greeted him with greed, it is estimated that there is really a deal to be carried out today, otherwise it will not be a whole bag of coins.
It was true that Volan did not lie. The bag of coins in Zhao Xu's hand was worth nearly a thousand gold coins.
However, it contains platinum coins ten times the value of gold coins, which is about several hundred.
Usually this kind of currency is used by caravans, and a higher level is the "golden ticket" guaranteed by the magic association or temple.
It's just that Zhao Xu hasn't seen this stuff.
When Zhao Xu walked on the familiar "Strolling Street" again, he was still thinking about the scene that just happened.
In the floating city, the average intelligence of those high-ring wizards was 20+, and even his tutor Antinoya still had that kind of 50+ existence, basically there was no room for him to play.
So in many cases, Zhao Xu simply learns passively, sometimes thinking too much and being educated.
But when he arrived in this "Winter City", he couldn't help but not carefully think about his every step of the action, just like the previous experience in the Tianbei Business League.
Sometimes, one missing link in thinking means everything is wrong.
It stands to reason that the "star cloak" he is wearing cannot be recognized by the other party, but he may guess that it is a magic item.
And the "+1 Nether" giant scythe on his back, because of the looming characteristics of Nether itself, it is easy to be observed as a magic weapon.
However, the "Nether" feature is a good hand for fighting ghosts, and it is a free gift for players.
At this time, Zhao Xu had already reacted, and he had acted rashly this time.
Since the bartender in the tavern refused to pay any attention to him, he should have reacted. To this "Winter City", he was a stranger.
He is a "black household" who has no resident certificate and has not paid any entry tax.
So he disappeared suddenly, and even the city guards and the entire security system did not even know that such a thing had happened.
Especially their players themselves are used as projections, and they don't even need to deal with corpses.
In addition, players like to kill each other in one breath, so unless there are players holding positions in Winter City, the general security system will not intervene.
Combined with the mage, the highest level is 1 level 4, 4 level 2 and most of them are level 1. What he did just now is equivalent to a child walking into trouble with gold.
If you don't do it to him, the local folk customs are simple enough.
Zhao Xu, who knew that he had just made a mistake, didn't feel much upset. It was not the first time the five people saw this kind of business, so he directly slashed the five people.
In the beginning, he directly shot the second ring of "Flash Dust", which was actually a disguised control spell, paralyzing the combat power of several people on the spot, and also achieved the purpose of getting him out of the battlefield first.
After the flash dust erupted, Zhao Xu also used "invisibility" on himself.
If Zhao Xu activates the invisible ring first and then releases the shining dust, then his whole body will be covered with those golden particles, which is completely concealed.
After Zhao Xu's invisible success, he actually avoided the group, trying to find a safe and reasonable position.
Let him be able to cover five people with a wave of fireball and clear the field directly.
Among the first-level players, the barbarian with the highest HP in the initial stage is D12, combined with the characteristic that can be full of the first-level health, it is 12HP, even if the physical is full at 18 points, the adjustment value is +4.
Such a barbarian who didn't use special methods in the early stage had an initial HP of 16 HP, which was already equal to Zhao Xu's HP at level 3.
The "Barbarian" is superimposed with the "Rage" ability, and the HP will be piled up to 18HP.
Still under the threat of Zhao Xu's 18-point fireball spell expectation damage.
Those five players and four guards, basically none of them at level 2.
So Zhao Xu chose the spot where the fireball technique landed on the spot when those people were suspicious and gathered together desperately to open the door and prepare to escape.
Then, a fixed-point bombing spell with a radius of 6 meters-"fireball", was used to clear the field directly on nine people.
Even if there are still lingering, they can’t withstand Zhao Xu’s final
magic missile
. When his caster level reaches 5th level, there are already three magic missiles in one spell. Wait until the 9th level caster level. At the time, the number can reach as many as 5, which is also the upper limit.
The selection of spells is also a headache for spells in the future.
Arthur's magic was prepared in his mind in advance, so the radius of the area of ​​effect of the spell was set to death at the beginning.
So many times, it's not that the "colorful jet" is not fragrant, or that the "fireball technique" is not fierce, but that everyone really doesn't care about throwing it up, and that is the rhythm of taking away teammates and enemies together.
Zhao Xu used to be in the canyon melee, regardless of the fact that he released a "colorful jet" against his 50-50 teammates and enemies. After knocking everyone down, he relied on four players around him who were not involved in the battle to intervene. Form a comeback situation where more people beat fewer people.
If you want to avoid hitting your teammates, the only way for general mages is to learn "spell shaping", which is the super magic speciality that changes the area affected by spells.
If you have more abilities, you can use the advanced professional abilities of the "Archmage" to "Shape Master", which can also change the form of spells on the spot.
Of course, Zhao Xu waited until he advanced to the "spell guard" in the future. When he learned the ability of "selective spells", he could release spells so that his teammates could ignore the effects of the spells and make the spells only take effect on the enemy.
This is the most powerful and versatile ability.
After Zhao Xu briefly reviewed the gains and losses of his previous battle, he returned to the "Grocery Plaza".
Suddenly he got 1000 GP, and he can naturally seize the opportunity to fill up his lack of strength again.
In particular, some secrets may be circulated among these hawkers who wander the wild all year round.
Being close to them can also get inside information.
The layout of the "Grocery Plaza" in Winter City is similar to the layout of the vegetable market stalls on the earth, basically one area for one person.
The owners of the goods are mostly busy with their own affairs at the stalls, and even some of them bring the food guys to sell while rushing to work, but the quality of the rushing work is compromised.
The square is full of people, even if there is no demand for it, they are circulating in front of these stalls to see a novelty.
The things in the grocery square are roughly divided into several categories. The rarest one is definitely holding magic items, ranging from scrolls to magic weapons, but these valuable items are generally obtained by specialized store elites. Most of the products from the grocery market are defective products that are not easy to sell.
Many of the rest were excavated from ancient tombs in various ruins.
Because those who dig, even though simple methods cannot detect the effects of those items, most of them are processed cheaply, and the cost of comparing 100 gold coins is still very high.
In fact, many people use magic items, and even before they die, it is not always clear whether they have used all the effects of magic items.
Saving while saving is the mainstream of Arthur's bottom adventurers.
Not everyone is like Zhao Xu with "mechanical goggles" and enough spell slots to cast "detect magic" spells.
The remaining items in the square are "alchemy items", which have the clearest effect and are also the most sold.
A set of "alchemy tools", sufficient alchemy materials, a schematic diagram of alchemy, and enough craft (alchemy) skills, you can rely on this craft to mix and eat.
This is also the reason why Arthur's current "alchemy" has become the mainstream skill of part-time work, while the "weapon-making" technique has failed to catch up.
After all, it is more self-sufficient and self-sufficient than other job skills, such as professional (coachman), professional (cook), and professional (farmer).
And many players choose to sell their alchemy items in the grocery square ~EbookFREE.me~, somewhat because the alchemy shop itself has stable channel supply and stable quality.
Individuals like them are unable to sell at a good price before making a monument because of the uneven quality.
During Zhao Xu's trip, he also supplemented some "alchemy items" for himself, and by the way, let's see if he can do some treasure hunting with his "appraisal skills".
After all, in Mystra, a per capita apprentice of a mage, an ancient coin fell to the ground, and the people watching around were able to explain the ins and outs of the coin perfectly.
In addition, although the first-link appraisal technique is expensive, after using the appraisal skills to guess 80 to 90%, everyone feels that they are willing to take a gamble.
Because of Mystra, it is really possible to find a shop that can perform the "identification technique" at any time within a hundred meters.
On the contrary, in this winter city, if you want to find a mage who is preparing for the "appraisal technique", you have to make an appointment in advance so that the other party will specially prepare for the "appraisal technique" tomorrow.
Zhao Xu's gaze directly crossed the most mainstream and dazzling locations in the grocery square. The wool was on the sheep, and the rental fees were not paid by buyers like them.
And because there is a lot of people there, the probability of trying to find a leak is very low.
Zhao Xu glanced from house to house, but he was not looking at the merchandise placed on the table, but at the people.
Zhao Xu, who has been a sheriff, can tell who has come to the grocery plaza for a long time to sell the treasures of his ancestors, who is just a second-door dealer doing the price difference, and who is the baby who has just returned from the grave.
However, Zhao Xu's line of sight suddenly froze, staying on a player wearing a warlock.
Zhao Xu didn't expect that he would actually meet an acquaintance, or the kind of acquaintance who would eventually become a senior in Winter City.
