Chapter 146 The practical value of magic in reality
What a good thing!
Looking at the things that were opened, Xiao Jie's eyes lit up. This was a spell skill book, so it could at least sell for some money.
My luck finally turned out well.
It's a pity that I don't have the basic knowledge of sorcery to learn it, otherwise it would be really fun to fight monsters after learning it. It is powerful and can kill enemies at a distance, much more powerful than a bow and arrow.
Continuous kick! "Ada da da da"
Ramen Brother used a charged skill to knock down the enemy in front of him.
Stone-splitting slash!
I want to become an immortal, so I chopped down the last monster with an axe.
Both of them also dealt with the enemies in front of them.
"Has the goods been shipped, Brother Feng?"
Picked up items are displayed.
Xiao Jie said calmly, "Yes, there is a spell skill book. After we go back and sell it, we can divide it among the three of us."
Ramen brother was a little surprised when he heard this. "Uh, brother, there's no need to be so polite. I'm very happy that you can help me level up. I haven't had such a good time killing monsters in a long time. Forget about the money. I'm very happy with the bounty of the monsters."
Xiao Jie nodded secretly in his heart. He liked such sensible teammates. The contribution of players in the team and the distribution of benefits should usually be balanced.
If everyone can reach a consensus on this matter, the team can develop harmoniously, but many times people tend to overestimate their own contributions and underestimate the efforts of their teammates. The result is an uneven distribution of spoils, and everyone feels that they are at a disadvantage. In that case, the team will easily fall apart.
From this point of view, Ramen Brother still knows his limits.
For such a sensible person, Xiao Jie doesn't mind giving him a little sweetness. `
"No, we formed a team of three. Although I killed the elite monster, you also helped to attract firepower, so naturally you should share the spoils.
And I'd better make some things clear. We are actually doing a special task, and there will be task rewards later. You won't get a share of this because you're already halfway done and can't share the task.
But you still get a share of the monsters' drops, so you don't have to be polite. I value fairness and justice the most, and this is a matter of principle."
Xiao Jie was serious about what he said, so Ramen Brother also said: "Haha, then I won't be polite, thank you Brother Feng!"
Xiao Jie was so generous not only because of principle. There would most likely be a BOSS battle tomorrow, and he mainly hoped that Ramen Brother could put in more effort. Otherwise, if he didn't give any points, he would have no choice if Ramen Brother didn't work hard.
No matter how nice other people say, it is better not to test their human hearts.
As the captain, you naturally have an advantage in distributing the spoils. Therefore, if you want to reassure your teammates, it is best to be generous at the beginning and give them some sweet treats. This way, even if you are a little selfish later, they will be able to accept it.
If they are unwilling to share at the beginning, then if something good comes out later, there is no need to even think about it. We are not fools, and even if we are acting, we have to act more realistically.
After all, Ramen Brother did attract the firepower of the mermaid water master. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard, so he should at least give him some benefits, otherwise why would he let others fight for his life.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them upgraded one after another.
First, Xiao Jie successfully reached level 13, then I also saw a flash of white light when I thought I would become an immortal, and finally Ramen Brother also reached level 17.
"Haha, this is so cool. I haven't had such a great time leveling up in a long time. You don't know that I had to grind my way up to the previous levels. It was so hard. Now I'm one step closer to my game goal."
Xiao Jie asked curiously: "What is your game goal?"
"My goal is to reach level 20, get a second job, and then stop playing."
"What career path are you going to take when you reach level 20?"
"What else could it be? Of course it's a martial arts master - a martial arts master is an advanced profession for martial artists."
"Don't you consider switching to a law school?"
"I don't have that kind of luck. Besides, my attributes are not enough. If I want to switch to magic, I have to save up attribute points. Many players who want to switch to magic save up attribute points but don't add them, or add them to advanced attributes, and end up dying inexplicably without seeing anything.
I don't dare to gamble on this luck. I'd better be conservative. It would be good enough to be a martial arts master in reality. I plan to quit the game after reaching level 20 and obtaining the core skills of a martial arts master. I will then go to boxing in real life, at least to become famous and become an Internet celebrity or something.
Maybe if I'm lucky I can even win a world championship or something. By then I'll definitely find a beautiful girlfriend, have some big fat boys, and build a martial arts family or something! Hahaha, it makes me feel good just thinking about it."
Xiao Jie thought that this guy's goal was very down-to-earth.
But for ordinary people, it is a pragmatic plan.
Being able to retire as a martial arts master is a good ending.
"Then I wish you success. Remember to let me know when you play in the game. I will cheer you on, too."
"Hahaha, sure, sure. But it's too early to talk about this now. I still have to reach level 20. And it's best to get a high-level martial arts book during this time. Right now, these basic fighting skills are still a little bit not powerful enough."
I want to become an immortal and joked: "When you become famous, don't forget your old friends."
"Hahaha, definitely."
The three of them were chatting happily when Granny Li came over.
Seeing the bodies of the mermaids, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then said seriously: "Three warriors, after this brutal killing, those mermaids will surely not come ashore to harass us again. Thank you for your help. Here are some silver coins, please accept them."
The three received the reward.
Granny Li added, "Tomorrow is my grandson's birthday. As long as we make it through tomorrow noon, I will have accomplished my mission. I hope the three of you won't be late. Tomorrow's affairs will all depend on your influence."
Xiao Jie smiled and said, "Please rest assured, mother-in-law, since we have agreed to this matter, we will never stand idly by."
Xiao Jie thought that he was counting on getting the final mission reward, and he couldn't miss it no matter what.
After saying goodbye to Granny Li, the three of them rode back to the city.
While speeding, Xiao Jie looked at the attribute points. There were 20 free attributes in total. If all of them were added to the basic attributes, it would undoubtedly instantly increase the combat effectiveness by a large margin.
However, in order to pursue a legal career, I can only save it for now.
However, he did not dare to add all of them directly to his spirituality, in case he encountered danger, maybe it could be used for emergency.
When the three of them returned to Luoyang Town, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon.
After returning to the town, the three of them separated. Xiao Jie went to the auction house to sell the skill book, and checked the sales of the secret dog food.
Damn, they’re all sold!
Xiao Jie looked at the auction column with excitement. He made thirty secret dog foods before leaving in the morning. He thought it would be good if he could sell ten of them, but he didn't expect them all to be sold out in an instant.
This time I made a small profit, a full six taels of silver.
Xiao Jie quickly ran to the butcher's shop and bought a bunch of ingredients, then made another twenty and hung them up.
Then he checked the price of the spell skill book.
He was a little disappointed when he saw it. He thought this thing was priceless and could be sold for at least one or two hundred taels of silver. He didn't expect that a basic spell book like Torrent Water Arrow could only be sold for around forty or fifty taels.
There were even two copies hanging in the auction house, one for 40 taels of silver and the other for 39.9 taels of silver.
Isn't this too pitiful? It's not as valuable as some powerful martial arts secrets. A copy of the Five Tigers Breaking Door Sword is worth fifty taels of silver.
No, there must be something wrong here. He carefully investigated the price of the spell skill book.
The attribute requirements for spell skills are basically a level of ten points. 30 points is the entry level, and there are 40 points, 50 points, and even up to 100 points.
Although they are both the lowest-grade spells, the price difference is extremely huge.
The cheapest one is the candlelight technique which only costs 10 taels of silver.
Next are offensive spells, which are generally cheaper, such as Wind Blade, Shattered Jade Wave, Palm Thunder, etc., which can usually be purchased for just a few dozen or even a dozen taels of silver.
On the contrary, some auxiliary skills with ordinary-looking names are extremely expensive, such as rejuvenation, epidemic prevention, and repair, which can cost hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver.
Xiao Jie could taste the flavor as he watched.
There are probably two reasons for this.
One reason is that there are too few magic professions, consumption is low, and skill books naturally cannot be sold at a high price.
Although the output of magic skill books is less than that of ordinary skill books, it is not that little.
The proportion is definitely much higher than the number of French players, which leads to no shortage in the market.
This is completely opposite to martial arts secrets. Internal strength is something that anyone can learn. Even magic professions usually use martial arts excessively in the early stages, and it usually doesn't hurt to learn a few more. This leads to an extremely huge consumption of martial arts secrets. No matter how much is produced, there is no shortage of buyers, especially for advanced internal strength and light skills, the prices of which are higher and higher.
Secondly, this thing is useless in reality after you learn it.
No matter how powerful the torrent of water arrows is, they cannot be used casually in wars and to kill people in reality. Moreover, if they are really used to kill people, they cannot compare to the power of modern weapons. All offensive spells have this problem and cannot be used in reality.
It can be used in the game, but it is usually enough to learn two of these low-level spells. Their functions are all single-target attacks, so it is useless to learn more. This torrent of water arrows does not seem to have any particular advantages over other spells. Its only advantage among low-level spells is its long casting distance.
On the contrary, the techniques of rejuvenation, anti-epidemic and repair can be learned into a skill in reality. They are extremely useful and can make you rich for the rest of your life.
The inferior skills such as invisibility, wall-walking, and earth escape may not make money, but they are also quite unique.
The worst thing is the candlelight technique and lighting technique, which are replaced by a flashlight in reality.
After thinking this through, Xiao Jie couldn't help but sigh.
Well, my red hand is not completely red.
Let's ask Jin Fugui to help us later, at least we can save some handling fees.
Then Xiao Jie checked the prices of several commodities.
As he was checking, he suddenly exclaimed.
Hey, why is monkey wine so expensive?
900 Wen a bottle, this is going to take off.
Moreover, even though it is sold at such a high price, the number of bottles listed in the auction house has decreased. Before, there were dozens of bottles listed, but now there are only a dozen or so left.
I couldn't help but feel curious, so I sent a message to Jin Fugui to find out.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Brother Fugui, let me ask you something. What is Monkey Wine used for? Why is it so expensive all of a sudden?
Jin Fugui: Monkey wine is used by generals to increase the loyalty of their subordinates. It is also very useful as a gift to NPCs to increase their favorability during missions. As for why it is so expensive, it's because those who know how to do it are dead.
Before, it seemed that only a lone wolf player in Canglinzhou could do it. A few days ago, there was a demon disaster in Canglinzhou, and that guy was unlucky enough to be killed.
As a result, Monkey Wine has now become a limited-edition item, and is naturally more expensive.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Doesn’t anyone know the recipe for monkey wine?
Jin Fugui: How come no one is spawning it? Big guilds don't care about this kind of niche recipe, but small guilds and lone wolf players still care about it very much. Previously, several guilds organized to kill many monkey bosses and elites, but in the end, not a single one was spawned. I guess that guy must have obtained the recipe after completing some adventure.
But adventures are something you can only encounter by chance, and they are usually one-time events, there is nothing you can do about it.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: I see. Oh, by the way, I have a spell skill book that I would like to ask you to help sell. Are you interested?
Jin Fugui: No problem, I only charge a 1% commission, which is much cheaper than the auction house. What magic?
Hidden Moon Following the Wind: [Raging Water Arrow].
Jin Fugui: This kind of magic can't be sold at a high price. I estimate that it can be sold for around 40-50 taels at most. I can give you a 20 tael advance payment first, and then give you the rest after I sell it.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: I understand. It's almost okay. I'll send the item to you directly. Forget about the advance payment. I trust you. But it'd be better if you can sell it as soon as possible. I'm in a hurry to use the money.
After the two previous transactions, Xiao Jie had a fairly good idea of Jin Fugui's character.
This type of professional businessman generally has to maintain his own reputation and credibility if he wants to operate for a long time.
Of course, this thing is not very valuable. If it was really worth hundreds or thousands of taels, Xiao Jie would not dare to be so generous.
Xiao Jie closed the private message, but he was quite excited. If he could learn how to make monkey wine, he would make a fortune.
Monkey wine must be related to monkeys. I know animal language, so I can ask those monkeys and maybe I can learn it. I must try it when I get the chance.
But now, let’s finish tomorrow’s task first.
More than 200 mermaids were killed today, but because they were shared among three people, the income decreased, but the consumption also decreased.
I looked in my bag and found that thanks to the six taels of silver I earned from selling thirty dog foods, I now had fourteen taels of silver.
There will most likely be a BOSS battle tomorrow. Although we should be able to get assistance from the other side whether dealing with Granny Li or the mermaid, we still need to be strong ourselves before we can take action with confidence.
Xiao Jie started a shopping spree.
One magic talisman = 2000 Wen.
One Iron Wall Talisman = 2000 Wen.
One Vajra Talisman = 2000 Wen.
One thunder talisman = 3000 Wen.
One Ice Talisman = 3000 Wen.
The thunder talisman has a diffusion effect when it hits the water surface, and can be used as an AOE skill.
The Ice Talisman has a freezing effect when it hits the water surface, and can be used as a control skill.
Both of these spells are very effective in the presence of water and are of great significance in battles near lakes.
Although this disposable prop is expensive and not very cost-effective, it is definitely a good thing to turn the tables and save your life at a critical moment. This kind of money cannot be saved.
I bought some potions and arrows, and repaired my equipment. Well, there were only a few hundred coins left in my bag.
Fortunately, there are another twenty secret dog foods listed in the auction house, so the money can come in continuously and steadily. It turns out that having a skill is really popular.
Next, I just have to wait until tomorrow to complete the final test and get the reward.
