Chapter 98 Buy, buy, buy
Chapter 98 Buy, buy, buy
Wang Kai was also very excited when he saw such a big deal from several people. As for the reason, Xiao Jie knew it without having to guess. As a middleman, he must take a commission.
Soon a quotation appeared in the WeChat messages of several people.
Wang Kai also explained: "These are the ones that are relatively easy to buy on the market and you can afford them. I didn't write down the good ones like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman, and you can't use them.
If you have any special needs, please tell me. As long as the money is in place, it can be solved. "
Xiao Jie looked at the introduction on WeChat and found that there were quite a few things that could be bought, including talismans, pills, arrows, gunpowder pots, and even a catapult. However, it required entry-level mechanical skills to operate it, so forget it.
The stuff is very good and comprehensive, but the price is really not cheap.
It was not until he saw the quotation that he realized how poor he was. A lowest-level talisman cost 1000 coins, and a better one cost two to three thousand coins. The coins he got in exchange for his yuan seemed like a lot, but it was actually just the money for dozens of talismans.
Suddenly Xiao Jie noticed something.
"Are there no skill books? For example, internal strength, swordsmanship, light skills, etc.?"
Xiao Jie was very envious of Ximen Wuhen's martial arts skills.
Wang Kai said: "This little money you have is not enough."
What do you mean by this little amount of money? This is half a million!
Wang Kai laughed loudly, "Do you think 500,000 is a lot? It's only fifty taels of silver. I can make hundreds of thousands a month with a small account at this level, and it's even easier to make money with a big account. 500,000 is really not much.
Martial arts secrets and the like are hard currency, there are no cheap ones.
If you go to a martial arts school, you can learn a good entry-level internal skill, and maybe even a matching sword technique, but if you buy a book, there is no room for selection. If you really want to buy it, you can buy it. You can buy a copy of the rubbish internal skills such as hard qigong and nourishing qi..."
After some explanation from Wang Kai, it turns out that there are two main ways to learn skills in this game.
One way is to find an NPC to learn, just like Xiao Jie went to Yang Baichuan to learn the chain arrows. Each NPC teaches different skills and requires different conditions. Some also require completing tasks. The price is relatively low. For example, you can learn some low-level internal skills and low-level martial arts in the martial arts halls in each town.
It only costs a dozen or dozens of taels of silver. Basic combat skills like the spinning slash can be learned with just a few taels of silver.
The other type is the skill book dropped by monsters. This thing is more expensive. After all, skill books can be traded, and you can be selective when learning them. If you don’t like them, you can sell them to get paid. You can learn them at any time and they are more flexible to use. They are equivalent to hard currency. Therefore, for the same skill, skill books are about two or three times more expensive than those taught by humans.
"If you go to a martial arts school, fifty taels of silver can buy you a good entry-level internal skill set and a set of swordsmanship, so I still don't recommend you to buy a skill book, it's too much of a loss. If you are a wealthy local tyrant, then of course it doesn't matter."
This... Xiao Jie decisively gave up. Low-level internal energy can't exert much power in a short period of time. After all, it needs matching sword skills and light skills to play a role and transform internal energy into combat power. Pure internal energy is just equivalent to having an extra permanent BUFF.
For example, hard qigong can enhance one's defense, and the qi-nourishing technique can increase the speed of physical strength recovery, that's all.
Having a barbecue yourself and wearing an extra piece of armor can have the same effect.
Although he was very much interested in learning the internal skills, Xiao Jie had to give up temporarily.
(It doesn’t matter. I’ll learn it myself after I reach level 10 and leave Ginkgo Valley.) Xiao Jie thought to himself.
Although combat skills are cheaper and affordable, Xiao Jie is not in short supply of combat skills right now, so let it go.
However, Dongfang Sheng proposed to order a book on gun combat skills with AOE effect, to which Wang Kai readily agreed.
Soon Xiao Jie chose what he wanted to buy.
20 gunpowder pots = 10000 Wen.
20 kerosene bottles = 6000 Wen.
One invisibility talisman = 3000 coins.
One magic talisman = 2000 Wen.
One Iron Wall Talisman = 2000 Wen.
One Vajra Talisman = 2000 Wen.
One earthbind talisman = 1000 wen.
50 armor-piercing arrows = 2500 Wen.
10 bottles of golden wound medicine (large quantity - restore 150 health points) = 3000 Wen.
10 Marching Pills (restore 300 HP) = 3000 Wen. This big red pill is six times more expensive than the small red pill, but it only restores three times as much HP. Overall, the cost-effectiveness does not seem to be high.
But when the crisis really comes, there won't be many opportunities to take medicine. The effect of drinking a bottle of Big Red and a bottle of Small Red at a critical moment will be completely different, so you have to buy it even if it's more expensive.
Of course, Xiao Jie also bought a lot of Xiaohong in the village, so that he could drink Xiaohong to replenish blood at ordinary times, and drink Dahong in critical moments.
After counting, I spent a total of 34500 wen. The remaining 15500 wen was used in cash for daily consumption. Together with the more than 19000 wen currently in my backpack, the total was wen.
The other three also chose what they wanted to buy. The most popular items were gunpowder pots and kerosene pots. For the newcomers who lacked range damage and did not want to take the risk of hand-to-hand combat, the best way was to stand on the wall and throw props.
Of course, archery can also be used, but the output efficiency is too low. This kind of AOE prop is more efficient.
While discussing what they wanted to buy, several people came to the wall of the village and began to observe the reserved battlefield.
The wall of Ginkgo Village is more than three meters high and is built of logs. It can easily resist zombies, walking corpses, ghouls, etc. The durability of the village gate is 1000 points, which is a weak point compared to the wall. If the enemy attacks the village, they will inevitably attack from the main gate.
Having played games for many years, including war simulation games such as Total War, Mount & Blade, and Thunderstrike, Xiao Jie also likes to watch war movies. When it comes to the attack and defense of cities and strongholds in the era of cold weapons, he can be regarded as a theoretical expert.
Xiao Jie observed the terrain and a battle plan gradually took shape in his mind.
He immediately started to calculate according to the ideas in his mind.
"The enemy shouldn't have any ranged troops. Before the gate is breached, we can attack from the wall without worry. This period of time is very precious. We must clear out as many small monsters as possible to reduce the pressure of frontal combat.
Once the gate is broken, monsters will swarm into the village. Tie Qianli will probably lead the militia to block the gate and fight, which should be able to delay a little time. At this time, we need to focus all the gunpowder pots and kerosene pots on the entrance of the gate to continue killing the enemy.
Once the gate cannot block the militia, they can only retreat gradually along the street and resist step by step. At this time, we must hurry to retreat from both sides of the village wall to the square behind the village, otherwise we will probably be blocked by monsters on the village wall.
The village square will most likely be the place where we beat up the BOSS. It is spacious enough and very suitable for beating up the BOSS.
Let the NPCs go to the front and fight the ghost general, and we hide behind and look for opportunities to attack. Tie Qianli, Yang Baichuan, and Zhou Tong are all elite NPCs. Although they are definitely not as good as the ghost general, they can also hold out for a while. With our assistance, they will most likely win.
If everything goes well, we will get rid of the ghost general here and reap the richest spoils.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the monsters have been almost cleared by the time we get here. Otherwise, if there are still a large number of monsters, we will be the ones who are surrounded and beaten.
Once the square can no longer hold, we will have no choice but to continue retreating all the way to the ancestral hall.
This should be the place where the final battle to defend the village takes place. I speculate that Huang Shidao must have some kind of trump card that he will use at this time, so this will be our last chance to defeat the ghost general.
Once the ancestral hall is breached, it means the village is occupied, and we will have no choice but to run away.
All right, everybody, do you have any questions?"
"What should we do with that man in black robe?" Ye Luo suddenly asked.
"According to Wang Kai, every siege will have a leader-level BOSS. It is not yet certain who will be the leader between the ghost general and the black-robed man. If I were to bet, I would bet on the ghost general. As long as the monster leader dies, it means we will win. Then it will be easy to deal with the black-robed man.
Of course, it is also possible that the man in black robe is the BOSS. Then when the ghost general attacks the village, we can gather archers on the wall and snipe him to death from a distance as much as possible!
Yang Baichuan himself is a powerful archer, and there are several archer militias in the village. Together with a few of us players, the damage from the concentrated fire is still considerable.
Even if the mysterious man in black robe has 1000 health points, we can at least deal damage in one round, and we can get rid of him in ten rounds.
Of course, these are all under ideal circumstances. No one knows what will happen specifically at that time. It is possible that the mysterious man in black robe will not show up at all.
Now we can only say that we are making limited deductions based on limited information.
If a fight really breaks out, there will definitely be all kinds of unexpected factors, so we just have to adapt to the situation as it arises."
I want to become an immortal and said excitedly: "That's right, you will see how powerful I am when the time comes."
He was confident in his full moon shooting.
"Then how should the spoils be distributed?" Dongfang Sheng raised another question at this time.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately fell silent.
This question is the key, even more important than how to defeat the BOSS. After all, everyone is fighting for profit, and no one is willing to do it without any benefits.
Whether the distribution of things can satisfy everyone directly determines whether the team can work together.
