The Truth of Magic

Chapter 218 Despicable Player (23)

Winter City itself has a leading position in the Northern Alliance.

In the previous life, Zhao Xu's university league was able to develop like a raging fire. One of the reasons was that most of their birth points were near Winter City, and they could successfully rely on Winter City's own prosperous resources.

And this city also has a very prominent feature, that is, it is very inclusive.

Even the drow who live underground can find a tile to cover their heads in this city without being expelled because of their skin color or camp.

In his previous life, Zhao Xu's entire gaming career revolved around Winter City from the time he entered the game until before time travel.

No matter how long it takes for him to fish and net once, he has personally measured every step on this most lively walking street in Winter City.

That's why Zhao Xu felt very cordial when he witnessed the Winter city ten years ago again.

It never occurred to him that he would be transported to Winter City by the portal.

In this city where Zhang Qi and his classmates lived in the early days.

More importantly, in the Falling Star Lake within a day's journey from this city, a peerless battle broke out among the players in the previous life, and the time was within a week.

According to statistics, more than 90% of the players in Winter City at this moment have paid resurrection stones to Falling Star Lake.

It was a big storm that originated from the player's sense of justice, but eventually swept through all the districts around Winter City.

Hey, friend. Suddenly Zhao Xu felt someone pat him on the back.

It was also fortunate that the opponent didn't use too much force, otherwise the defensive ability of the Star Cloak would be triggered.

Huh? Zhao Xu turned his head at this moment.

But found that he had to lower his head to see each other.

A halfling rogue wearing brass-colored inlaid leather armor.

You called me? Zhao Xu asked doubtfully.

Yes, let me introduce myself. My name is Shibubu. I think you are carrying such a huge sickle on your back, it seems very heavy. Do you want to sell it to me? Buy it at a high price.

Zhao Xu looked at the +1 Nether scythe on his body at this moment. It was indeed not small, but apparently the other party probably regarded it as a refined product?

Looking at the player's sly look, Zhao Xu realized that he was still overestimating, so he couldn't help laughing, Then how much do you plan to pay?

At this time, the pedestrians on the street rubbed shoulders and passed each other. Even if there were a few curiously looking at this side, it didn't last long.

Well, hey, I really like this piece of equipment, so I'll pay four times the market price.

Zhao Xu thought for a moment that he had heard wrong.

Could it be that the Dreadful Bound Spirit who once owned this magic scythe was the ancestor of the halfling in front of him?

It's just that Zhao Xu just thought about it, and automatically denied this possibility. Where did the player's ancestor come from?

Look, it's not bad, it's a total of eighty gold coins. At this time, the halfling wanderer said in a bewitching tone.

Really dark.

Sure enough, it was the freest and most chaotic Winter City.

Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing the halfling's savage tone.

Well, keep your eighty gold coins in your pocket. Zhao Xu nodded.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xu turned around and left without getting into the crowd.

At this moment, the halfling man saw Zhao Xu's voice of leaving, and said quickly, Hey, don't go, who has more than 100 gold coins dangling in the player's pocket now?

It's just that Zhao Xu has ignored it.

Seeing that Zhao Xu really ignored him, the halfling couldn't help stamping his feet, thinking to himself, I knew I would add another 150 gold coins to break your psychological defense. Hey, the scythe just now looked like a refined product. .”

Looking at the boy in a daze, it doesn't seem like he knows that the equipment in his hand is actually a refined product of 300 gold coins, so why don't you listen to me, hey, this is a price difference of nearly 200 gold coins. The halfling couldn't bear it. I just shook my head.

It's just a little strange, why does the sickle have no shadow in the sun?

Suddenly, his eyes revealed an unbelievable expression looking forward, and he kept muttering to himself: Magic weapons? Or do they have special effects?

Except for that one, which player can afford 8,000 gold coins?

At this time, Zhao Xu followed the flow of people in front of him all the way to the grocery market.

The Grocery Market in Winter City is a free stall that is temporarily rented, and it is divided into a paid part and a free part.

When Zhao Xu was a level 1 fighter in his previous life, he was encouraged by his classmates to participate in a fight at the grocery market.

Later, after he was arrested by the sheriff, he resolutely worked hard to level up for a period of time in order to win the next fight.

In the low-level stage, whoever has a harder fist will be able to convince others with his reasoning.

Watching those players gather in the corner of the free zone, selling some items obtained in the wild, such as animal fur and handmade simple weapons.

There are even a few players who have been under the poverty line for a long time, and the thick cloth armor they are wearing has been covered with wounds, and even the cotton wool inside has been turned out.

With a sympathetic look, Zhao Xu dropped some coins and bought a few empty flat-mouthed glass bottles as containers for future potions.

Once the player's adventure in the wild does not form a positive snowball, it is easy to break the capital chain, and then fall into an endless loop where the equipment is damaged and cannot be defeated, and the equipment cannot be repaired if the equipment is damaged.

Then he played this monster fighting game as a part-time job game.

As a city where he was born, Zhao Xu naturally knew where the tavern was the fastest to inquire about.

After a while, he walked into a tavern called Drunk Dream.

Even if it was daytime at this time, the tavern was still noisy with people, was it someone holding a whole bucket of wine and toasting desperately.

It seems that if you don't finish drinking, you won't be able to vent your inner discomfort.

And Zhao Xu didn't try to provoke the drunkards, even the players.

He walked directly to the back kitchen and observed it softly, and he roughly understood it.

It's just that Zhao Xu didn't struggle for too long. He walked up to the bartender lightly and asked in a low voice, Who is the most flexible with the news here?

It's a pity that the leader who has the most flexible news about the future of Winter City will not come to Winter City until three months later, otherwise he wouldn't need to make a roundabout inquiry.

Zhao Xu wanted to rely on himself to find clues about the portals around Winter City. It was really a needle in a haystack.

So he needs to borrow someone else's hand.

This is also the role of great forces.

The bartender, on the other hand, looked at Zhao Xu contemptuously and continued to wipe his glass.

Zhao Xu was also a little embarrassed when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the bartender who chatted with him in the future would have such a realistic scene.

Zhao Xu also sensiblely stuffed a silver coin at this time.

Only then did the bartender wearing a white scarf look favorably on him, and he said directly in a low voice, Now there's that rich lady upstairs, I think you can go up and ask.

After Zhao Xu heard this, he went straight to the upstairs room without further ado.

It's just that the bartender watched Zhao Xu go upstairs with a look of pity in his eyes, but he didn't regret it at all.

Because he knew that after a while there would be an extra gold coin in his pocket.

That rich lady, Ms. Wolan, had been mentioned by Zhao Xu in her previous life.

The other party hooked up with many mine lords in Falling Star Lake, and started from that step, and mastered the ore management rights of the ore from Falling Star Lake leading to Winter City.

It's just that there was no trace of this rich Ms. Wolan in Winter City in the later period.

And Zhao Xu quickly passed the inspection of the two guards in the box and successfully entered the box.

You have something to ask me? Wolan, as an ordinary player, has grasped the lifeblood of countless players by virtue of the power of Falling Star Lake.

I want to ask you to help me find out some news. Zhao Xu said neither humble nor overbearing.

At this time, several other players who had a good time with Wolan also looked over, Ha, Wolan, are you looking at Xiao Xianrou again?

He looked like he was criticizing Zhao Xu.

Too big?

Zhao Xu felt that the people in front of him seemed to have some problems with their minds.

Well. Did you pay the price? Wo Lan suddenly said, looking at Zhao Xu's cloak with interest.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, was a little confused. If he didn't know, he thought he had gone to some cottage and met the boss.

In just one and a half months, a privileged class among players has formed?

Then what price do you need? Zhao Xu asked.

For example, the Nether Scythe behind you? Or the shining cloak on your body? Wo Lan said to Zhao Xu.

These are not for sale, Zhao Xu said simply.

Zhao Xu didn't understand something. He just came to inquire about some news. How could there be so many messy things. In these years, asking for news and paying chips, how come it has become the other party's appointment?

I didn't say I would buy it. Suddenly, Wo Lan's cold voice came out from behind Zhao Xu.

The two guards who were originally guarding the door also turned sideways, trying to stop Zhao Xu from moving.

This is? Zhao Xu looked back at Wolan with a confused look.

He is obviously 13 charismatic, isn't that kind of mocking face?

Just met a player on the first day, and was forced to buy equipment?

Take it. Suddenly Wolan took out a money bag full of gold coins from his pocket and threw it on the table.

At first glance, it must be close to a thousand pieces.

And even the few players who were bragging and chatting with Wolan couldn't help but take a few deep breaths when they saw this scene.

They are very clear about the current exchange rate of gold coins to RMB.

A thousand gold coins to buy your own cloak and scythe?

Zhao Xu almost didn't figure it out.

And he also began to feel a little pissed off, that's all it was when he met a half body, and it turned out that it was the same scene when he came to inquire about news.

You can keep the flowers for yourself slowly.

Zhao Xu finally understood why this rich Ms. Wolan suddenly disappeared after the Battle of Falling Star Lake. She had already accumulated a large amount of initial wealth, but she hadn't been able to continue to snowball and spread her power all over the north.

Emotions are stupid.

Stop him, I'll give him the money. At this moment, Wolan's cold voice came from behind.
