System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality
Chapter 4 Craftsmen come online
On the day agreed with the caravan to set off, the people from the escort office opened the door and saw little Shen Xia standing at the door carrying a big bamboo basket. When Shen Xia saw someone, she obediently called "Uncle".
The man led Shen Xia to sit in the lobby and said, "The caravan to Tiansheng City will leave later. You can sit here and rest first." He didn't care about her.
After an unknown amount of time, someone finally informed Shen Xia that they were ready to leave. After Shen Xia paid the toll and checked the contents of her backpack with the escort, she was taken to the yard and met the people who were traveling with her this time.
The merchant leading the caravan heading to Tiansheng City this time is a middle-aged man with a big belly and a mustache. His surname is Hu. Everyone respectfully calls him "Master Hu". He is checking the goods with his shiny jade bracelet. , and the other three businessmen accompanying him were young men in their early twenties, following Mr. Hu to await his punishment.
On the other side are the servants and porters accompanying the trip, who are also packing the last things. The escort is mainly responsible for the safety of this trip. The leader is Wei Yan, who is in his early thirties. There is a long stripe from the left side of his forehead to his cheek. The scar was said to have been left while fighting bandits. He was the one who agreed with Shen Xia on the travel expenses that day. Shen Xia called him "Uncle Wei."
In addition, there are people who are "hitchhiking" like Shen Xia. Counting Shen Xia, there are seven people in total, a family of three plus two young men.
After Wei Yan identified the people going north this time with Mr. Hu, he announced the departure. Shen Xia and the other seven were arranged to ride in an ox cart in the middle. Shen Xia looked back at the city gate that was getting smaller and smaller behind her, and suddenly felt a sense of melancholy in her heart. She had to shake her head and get rid of distracting thoughts. Today's birthday is more worth looking forward to, isn't it?

Less than a quarter of an hour after Shen Xia and his party set off, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.
"Call Xiao Ai." Shen Xia heard the task receiving sound and asked the system in her mind.
"Host, may I ask if you have any questions?"
"When the mission of Changliu Village was triggered, I wanted to ask, why do I not need to take the mission of Changliu Village and the mission to Tiansheng City myself?" Shen Xia still remembers the first mission of Wild Vegetable Wowotou, which is an option. To accept or not to accept. The next two tasks are automatically accepted, and there is no option not to accept them.
"Answer the host, the tasks currently assigned to you include mandatory tasks and autonomous tasks. The mandatory tasks must be accepted and completed, otherwise you will not be able to accept other tasks. The host of autonomous tasks can choose on his own."
Sure enough, this system is very similar to the game system. In fact, it is like the main tasks and side tasks in the game. If you do not complete the main tasks, you cannot advance the plot. Is this world virtual?
"Xiao Ai, the main plot... No, does the mandatory task also require me to perform the corresponding behavior before it can be triggered? Can't you help me pick it up in advance?" Shen Xia felt that the trial and error cost of having to perform the corresponding behavior before triggering the task was very important. It was too high for her now and she wanted to see if there was any way to avoid the risk.
"Host, according to your current level, it can only be triggered after meeting the prerequisites."
"Then after I upgrade, I can take on missions in advance?"
"I'm sorry, Xiao Ai can't answer. Please ask the host to describe the question again."
Regarding the issue of system operating rules, Xiao Ai did not answer, but Shen Xia could get a rough answer from Xiao Ai's previous answer. It seems that upgrading is the way to go. But how to trigger the task now?
The road to Tiansheng City is mostly boring. At first, Shen Xia was chatting happily with the porter who was driving the car, but with the bumpy mountain road and uncomfortable physical reaction, Shen Xia also became silent.
It takes about four days to drive between each medium and large town. In order to travel as quickly as possible, the caravan will not stop in small towns on the way. During the day, it will basically choose to eat dry food such as steamed buns and noodles. It will only be cooked at night when it is camped and rested. vegetable. In the evening, when the porters were setting up tents and the servants were preparing dinner, Shen Xia helped fetch water, wild vegetables, and light the fire, and became familiar with the servants.
Mr. Hu eats separately from the others. If Shen Xia and the others on the "Hitchhiking" want to eat with the escorts, lunch is 20 copper coins per meal and dinner is 30 copper coins per meal. They will stay with them the whole time. It cost 2 taels of silver to eat, but the two young men happily handed over the money.
That family of three only paid for dinner for two people. Their child looked to be only four or five years old and shared a meal with his mother.
At the beginning of the trip, Shen Xia was too embarrassed to ask for food shamelessly, so she could only help to get acquainted. She had ordered the steamed buns in her backpack and basket, and the entire amount was only enough for her to eat. Half a month later, I still had to find a way to get some other food. I only had 700 copper coins and I wouldn't move them unless absolutely necessary.
During the past few days, Shen Xia tried to fold wild grass into small crafts such as roses, birds, and snails, but none of them triggered the task. Shen Xia had to take a bunch of wild grass art and distribute it around, giving it to the children of the family of three. , or hung on the reins of Wei Yan's horse, or folded a bunch of roses and gave them to the aunts among the servants. It can be said that except for Mr. Hu and his party, everyone else has basically received Shen Xia's handicrafts.
Therefore, the escort team represented by Wei Yan had a better impression of Shen Xia, especially the elderly aunts, who felt that Shen Xia was nimble at work, sweet-tongued, and skillful with her hands, so if there was dinner " By chance, if he goes long, he will secretly leave half a bowl of broth for Shen Xia.
She has been gone for 10 days, and Shen Xia is a little depressed. She has done everything she can in the past 10 days, but she has not triggered a task. In addition, her steamed buns have also bottomed out, although she can occasionally get a tooth festival with her thick skin. , but after all, it is not a long-term solution. Do you have to spend money to buy food?
The caravan group has been traveling in the low mountains in the past few days. It is now early summer, and there are gradually more mosquitoes. When we set out in Shenxia, we did not bring anti-mosquito powder. Perhaps the people in the escort agency were exposed to the wind and sun. , not afraid of mosquitoes, no one was prepared after asking around, and a few porters made fun of Shen Xia for being coquettish. Shen Xia had no choice but to gather mugwort nearby while the caravan stopped to rest, thinking about making a few sachets or fumigating it to drive away insects.
After washing the fresh mugwort, Shen Xia made a large pot of mugwort green dumplings with the cooking aunts. The mugwort green dumplings were also refreshing to eat, but they were not filling and could only be eaten as breakfast or Have afternoon tea.
Shen Xia washed and dried the other wormwood bit by bit, took out the old clothes given by the aunts in Changliu Village, cut out several clean and tidy pieces of cloth of the same size, similar colors, and mixed the wormwood with the mint picked separately. Evenly, they were made into triangular sachets. In addition, they used the excess fabric from old clothes to sew and mend to make a mugwort pillow. The remaining mugwort was not wasted in Shen Xia. She ground it into powder and wrapped it in cloth at night. Smoking some mugwort powder before going to bed can prevent most mosquito bites.
Shen Xia handed a sachet and a packet of mugwort powder to Wei Yan respectively: "Uncle Wei, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are more mosquitoes. This is a sachet I made with mugwort. If you don't mind, please give it to me." Please accept it. Although it is not very useful, it is still effective in preventing mosquitoes and repelling insects. In addition, this is mugwort powder. I accidentally heard Mr. Hu and others complaining that they could not sleep well at night. Smoke mugwort leaf powder before going to bed. Sleep aid."
Shen Xia did not intend to distribute all the mugwort powder and sachets she made. Although these were not complicated to make, it would be better to give them to only a small number of people than to everyone, so Shen Xia only gave them to her regularly. No one else gave Xiaozao's two aunts moxa sachets anymore.
"Ding! It has been detected that there is a task available, please host to handle it in time."
—Mugwort Family Bucket—
Unlock new uses of mugwort, and a new mugwort family bucket is coming! Are you having sleepless nights? Do you have too much moisture in your body? Do you no longer want to be a mosquito power bank? Have you ever been looked at strangely by others because of your smell? Now, the mugwort family bucket can be solved all at once. It’s better to act than to think, so place your order quickly!
Please submit: mugwort sachet x1 mugwort pillow x1 mugwort green ball x2 mugwort powder packet x1
Reward: experience +10, silver +5 (reward range adjusted according to customer satisfaction)
Shen Xia:? ? ? Feelings are like a contract processing factory? Why does this mission look so much like an advertisement?
Complaints are complaints, Shen Xia immediately clicked to accept it without any hesitation. After so many days, it is not easy to trigger the task, and she even doubts that she is a craftsman.
It's just that this mugwort family bucket contains contents. It is estimated that it will take more than a day or two to finish, and one piece of clothing will have to be dismantled. However, with the fabrics of my old clothes, it seems that the reward is not enough.
At the same time, Wei Yan also came to Shen Xia during the break: "Shen Xia, you are quite smart. Mr. Hu said that those mugwort powder are very useful and asked me if I still have them. I am willing to spend money to buy them. I am so non-stop." I’m asking you again.”
