i have a small map

Chapter 11
"It's his letter. It's been decades, and I can't remember it clearly. I can still get news from him."

In the west of Horn City, there is an ordinary small courtyard.Granny Li, who was already full of white hair, was so excited that she couldn't help crying while holding the animal skin letter.

Thanks to the guidance of the patriarch of the Luming tribe, Wang Ming was able to obtain the coordinates of Jiaojiao City.So after arriving in Horn City, he sent the letter as soon as possible.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party turned out to be a woman who looked about the same age as the patriarch.

"Could it be..."

Wang Ming snickered twice and asked tentatively.

"Grandma, do you know our patriarch?"

"Of course I do!"

Grandma Li nodded, then said with a smile.

"Actually, I am also a member of our Luming tribe."

"Then you..."

"Then why am I living in Corner City, right?"

Grandma Li stroked her temples, her memories seemed to go back decades ago.

"At that time, your clan leader and I were still young. We went out to the village to hunt and got lost in the wilderness. We wandered around in the wilderness for several months. Instead of being eaten by monsters, we accidentally hit the Horn City."

"Later, you stayed in Horn City, but the clan leader had to return to the Luming Tribe for the sake of his people. Then you separated, and this separation lasted for decades. Even though such a long time has passed, the clan leader still thinks about you. "

Wang Ming couldn't help sighing as he thought about the story behind.

"It's really a poignant love story."

"Poignant, you little brat!"

Unexpectedly, Grandma Li stared and knocked Wang Ming on the head.

"Bullshit love story, your patriarch is my brother!"

"My dear...it's really a touching family story."

Wang Ming was a little embarrassed, then asked again with a smile.

"By the way, mother-in-law, even the patriarch failed to stay. How can you, a weak woman, stay in Horn City?"

"Of course it's because I worked hard."

Grandma Li looked proud, and said it as a matter of course.

"Try hard to find a man in the city to marry within a month, and I will stay."

"I……"

Wang Ming opened his mouth, speechless.

"Little ghost, do you want to stay in Horn City too?"

Seeing through Wang Ming's thoughts, Grandma Li's face suddenly became serious.

"But it is not easy to obtain official status and stay in the city with real skills."

"Is there any way!"

Wang Ming showed excitement and asked quickly.

Grandma Li didn't hide anything, and told Wang Ming everything she knew. There are generally three ways to obtain official status.

First, like Grandma Li, relying on kinship, but it must be close relatives such as father and son, husband and wife.

Second, one’s own value, being above the fifth level of physical realm, or possessing special talents.

Third, donate, all kinds of resources are acceptable, but it must reach a certain amount.

"What resources does Horn City need?"

Wang Ming pondered for a while, and only the third one could be tried.

"Whether it's for cultivation or daily use, as long as it's useful, it's fine. It's just that you need a lot, such as wood. At least a million square meters of high-quality wood is required to obtain official status."

Grandma Li curled her lips and continued.

"If it's herbs, you only need 100 trees. But compared to [-] million square meters of wood, [-] herbs are more difficult."

"Herbs!"

Wang Ming's eyes widened, his face full of surprise.

He set off from the Luming Tribe and arrived at the Horn City after more than a month. Along the way, he collected all kinds of herbs by means of appraisal skills.Now in the inventory, let alone a hundred, there are also ten thousand!

According to Grandma Li, Jiaojiao City has a vast territory and is self-sufficient in food, clothing, housing and transportation, but there is no suitable soil for growing herbs.So in order to obtain herbs, they had to venture out of the city to collect them.

Even if he went out of the city to collect herbs, he didn't dare to leave the city too far.Because the farther away from the city, the weaker the aura of the demon god, the easier it is to encounter monsters.

Therefore, even a herb hunter who makes a living by collecting herbs only dares to collect herbs within ten miles around the city.

Just imagine, with millions of people, how can there be enough herbs in this area?

Especially in the last few hundred years, fewer and fewer herbs have been picked around, and the shortage of herbs in Horn City has become more and more serious.

"Great."

Wang Ming collected herbs at random, and originally kept them for his own use.Because there is an inventory storage, I picked a lot without knowing it.She never expected that when she arrived in Horn City, she would become a rare commodity to live in.

After understanding clearly, Wang Ming bid farewell to Grandma Li and went to apply for official status.

"So easy."

Only an hour later, Wang Ming got a palm-sized bronze badge, which was the so-called official status!

Wang Ming also didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. When he proposed to donate herbal medicine, the other party, instead of making things difficult, was simply flattering.

This shows the importance of herbs in Horn City.

"Get rich?"

Walking on the street, looking at the tens of thousands of herbs in the inventory, Wang Ming suddenly felt like a local tyrant.

Until now, he still hasn't come back to his senses.

"Jubao Pavilion, this is it."

After wandering the street for a while, Wang Ming stopped in front of a shop.

I asked Grandma Li before, as a scarce commodity, herbal medicine can be sold for money, or even directly exchanged for martial arts, in addition to exchanging official status!
Wang Ming came to Horn City for the purpose of cultivating resources, and advanced martial arts is an important part of it.

According to what Grandma Li said, the City Lord's Mansion can also exchange it, but the price is average.There are many shops of various kinds in the city, and the ones with the highest bids and the best reputation are Zhenbao Pavilion and Jubao Pavilion.

"Headquarters!"

The shop in front of Wang Ming had the signboard of 'Jubao Pavilion', with the word 'Main Store' next to it.Can't help but nodded, and walked in.

The shop of Jubao Pavilion is not small, and there are many employees, but it seems that there are not many customers.In the middle of the lobby, there is a boundary line, with a word 'in' hanging on the left and a word 'out' hanging on the right.

This is not a 'safe passage' sign, there are counters on both sides under the word. The counter with the word "in" is low, and many items are displayed on the shelves behind it. The counter with the word "out" is nearly one person high, a bit like a high cabinet in a pawn shop.

"I see."

After watching for a while, Wang Ming understood.The so-called "in" is to buy things; the so-called "out" is to sell things.

"I want to make something."

After clarifying, Wang Ming went straight to the counter with the word 'out'.Wrap a small portion of the herb taken out earlier in a bag and hand it to the counter.

"...herbs!"

Unpacking the bag, the guy behind the counter suddenly changed his face and shouted in surprise.

This burden is actually all herbs!
"What is the origin of this person..."

It was not until a long while before the buddy regained his composure and looked at Wang Ming in surprise.He has worked in Jubao Pavilion for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has seen a person who produces so many herbs at once!
"Please wait!"

There were so many herbs and different types. The man frowned for a long time while looking at them.After saying the last word, he got off the counter, ran to the back and saluted respectfully to an old man.

"There is a medicine dispenser, please trouble the big cabinet with eyes."

"It's just a few herbs, just look at it."

"There are 23 trees."

"Um……"

Upon hearing this number, the old man put down the teapot he had just picked up, and his eyebrows trembled.
