Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Judging from what the doll girl said, prices there are obviously much higher than in Xijiang.

Five hundred copper coins per pound of honey is actually considered normal...

Since it can be sold, there must be a market and buyers who can afford it.

Honey is just a general condiment used in daily cooking.

If only nobles can enjoy it and there are too few customers, it will be difficult for honey sales to increase.

This shows that the area where the spice originated is likely to be inhabited by more advanced aboriginal people.

Including the indigenous people who escaped when the pollution broke out, did they all go there?

"The city of destiny seems not as simple as imagined." Chen Ye muttered silently to himself.

It seems that one month has passed, and although I have explored the edge of the spiritual world, compared to other players, my progress is definitely ahead of the curve.

However, this city of destiny seems to hide other deeper areas, and what has surfaced so far is just the tip of the iceberg.

Under the water, there is a vast and boundless world, far beyond imagination.

Chen Ye thought for a while and said, "Let's get twenty cans of honey first."

With Wang Jing's cooking skills, twenty jars of honey should be enough to handle a few large orders, that's about it.

Moreover, since the price of honey has increased, if the Slime family places an order again, they will have to negotiate the price properly.

There were a lot of condiments left around the stall, and Chen Ye asked for prices one by one.

For example, the price of relatively rare spices such as snake wine and honey is generally between 300 copper coins and 1,000 copper coins. You can only buy one jar, and the price is much more expensive than the female shopkeeper's time.

But the spices used in daily cooking, such as salt, leather powder, sesame oil...

The price is much more normal.

It ranges from a few copper coins to dozens of copper coins, some are more expensive than the female shopkeeper in Yong'an market, and some are cheaper.

After all, the underground market has already made rules that prices may fluctuate, so it is normal for the fluctuations to be larger.

But for the sake of a reasonable range, Chen Ye included almost all the other seasonings.

The various seasonings were included in the mountain scroll, plus the twenty jars of honey, and the total cost was 49,000 copper coins.

After spending this money, Chen Ye still had 970,000 copper coins left.

Fortunately... those 10,000 portions of devil's food, plus the fees charged for the "all living beings concert", made him fatter.

Even after buying these condiments, the remaining copper coin deposit is still enough.

Seasonings are relatively rare items in this area and are of great benefit in improving the appeal of restaurants.

at present……

There are many restaurants near the pedestrian street, which will form a competitive force in the short term and divert traffic.

Therefore, Chen Ye must ensure that he has enough condiments left to meet the store's turnover.

With the condiments and the [delicious chef] of King Realm, the competitiveness is definitely enough!

If you buy this once, you can continue to operate it for a long time without worrying about insufficient seasoning.

certainly.

After the price increase, Chen Ye did not buy those rare spices for the time being.

Most of the aborigines near Xijiang who can stay are relatively poor. The middle class and the upper class, based on the principle of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages", have left the surrounding areas, and the overall consumption level is sluggish. They buy rare seasonings, which is a luxury type of consumption, and the range of customers they face is too small.

The Slime family can be said to be an unexpected surprise!

Therefore, you only need to buy honey as a precious seasoning, and that is enough.

After accepting the forty-nine thousand copper coins, the doll girl tilted her head and smiled:

"Hehe, big brother is really rich. We haven't had such a big deal for a long time."

"My dad called just now. He seems to be very interested in you and said that he has something in his hand that you might be interested in."

"Would you like to take a look?"

Chen Ye's mind moved slightly. Just now, with his spiritual power, he sensed that the girl seemed to be communicating with someone.

The gray mist air mass above her head was spreading, leading to a certain purple air in the distance.

"It seems that this girl may have died a long time ago, but her soul was preserved by the father in some way, made into a doll, and lived in a new form..."

"hiss!"

"Being able to use such means, he shouldn't be a simple character..."

Chen Ye was secretly shocked and had a new understanding of the existence behind the doll girl.

He pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I'm interested, I can take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, the doll girl took out a sky-blue crystal stone from her pocket.

Under the observation of the Eye of Destiny, this crystal emits gray-white mist, occasionally embellished with sky blue, and intertwined with colored glaze and black and red. Colorful silk threads connect the surrounding darkness like a spider web.

"Map of consciousness?"

Chen Ye recognized such an item.

Using spiritual properties, you can store part of your thoughts in special crystals.

Professions with the ability to interpret thoughts can absorb the consciousness in the crystal and obtain information.

"Big brother is really well-informed!" The doll girl tilted her head and smiled, but her tone was inexplicably a little more playful. Compared with the innocence and cuteness before, it seemed to have an unknown meaning.

It's like...this sentence does not come from the doll girl, but from the existence behind her.

"What's the message in this?"

Chen Ye looked away from the sky blue crystal, fell on the doll girl, and asked.

"This dungeon is dotted with different 'lightless lands'. Don't you adventurers like to explore treasures the most?"

"Treasures and opportunities are hidden in the 'Lightless Land'!"

"I marked all the locations of the 'Lightless Land' in the spar."

"How about it?"

"This is an excellent treasure map!"

"No gold coins, no silver coins, just 50,000 copper coins, and you can have it!"

The doll girl sells her products skillfully.

Poof!

Chen Ye couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" the doll girl asked with a frown.

"I laughed at you for finding the wrong buyer." Chen Ye said with a smile, "Unfortunately, I already have a map in my mind, so what you said does not arouse my interest."

"Yeah?"

The doll girl tilted her head: "However, this map also marks different areas. Green represents safety, red represents danger, gray represents unknown, and blue represents challenges, risks and opportunities. Are you sure you don't want it? ?”

Hearing this, Chen Ye rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

If this map not only had the locations of all the ‘Lightless Lands’, but also marked the degree of danger, then the value would be different!

However, given the complexity of the underground world, this is not a map that ordinary beings can create.

"How can I be sure that the content of this map is correct?"

Chen Ye thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

After all, if this map can really mark all the treasures, it cannot be worth only 50,000 copper coins.

Following the principle of equal exchange, if it is really a treasure map and these areas are marked, the 50,000 copper coins will definitely not be able to buy it.

You may not be able to believe everything in it.

"Hehe, you guessed it right." The doll girl said with a smile, "I can't guarantee that all the information on the map is true."

"..." Chen Ye was speechless for a moment. This girl actually dared to speak!

It's unethical to lie in front of customers. Be careful not to do business next time!

The doll girl continued:

"However, this map was produced a month ago, so more than 90% of the content is credible."

"The remaining ten percent, because the structure of the underground world is unstable, this is not a dynamic map, but information stored in consciousness, which will definitely deviate from the actual situation. Even if the correct area has been explored before, now There may also be some changes.”

"But for novices who are new to dungeons, this map can still be of certain value. It can at least optimize your route and improve efficiency."

"It sold for 50,000 copper coins, so that's the value of 50,000 copper coins. At least, it's equivalent."

Chen Ye lowered his head and thought about what the little girl said.

Indeed, the price of 50,000 copper coins is not very expensive for my current assets.

If we can quickly know which areas are safe and which areas may have opportunities, we can optimize the strategy route to the greatest extent.

Although the [Wanderer Map] can also mark the 'Lightless Land', it shows a void of ink blackness. As for what is inside, it is impossible to judge from this.

According to the doll girl, since this map was produced a month ago, at least most of the areas can be confirmed first, and the strategy route can be temporarily planned.

What exactly is in the remaining area...

Chen Ye has two exclusive talents, [Eye of Luck] and [Study of Blood Letters], so he has no worries about not being able to obtain relevant information.

Therefore, this map can still exert its due value in his hands.

"Okay, I accept your offer."

Chen Ye paused, took out 50,000 copper coins, and reached a deal with the doll girl.

Subsequently.

He held the azure crystal in his hand.

At this moment, the crystal burst out with a burst of light, and actually combined with the [Wanderer Map] in his mind.

The next second.

On the map, the small area of ​​"lightless land" that was vacant was immediately filled with different colors.

Red, green, blue, gray...

These four different colors divide the "danger zone", "safety zone", "opportunity struggle zone" and "chaotic unknown zone".

"Rich brother, you are welcome to come again next time!" The doll girl put away the copper coins, tilted her head and smiled, waving goodbye to Chen Ye.

Shortly after.

Chen Ye left the underground market under the leadership of the ghost fire.

He followed the map's guidance, passed through the long and narrow tunnel, and came to the nearest 'lightless land'.

The map shows green!

Located at the entrance to the left.

Chen Ye stopped here and watched for a moment with the Eyes of Luck, confirming that the danger was not great, and then walked towards the 'lightless land'...
