Chapter 175: See the Lightning Tiger Pattern Again!
Early the next morning, Yi Yun was awakened by a knock on the door.
As soon as I got up, I immediately felt a splitting headache and my mouth was very dry. After taking a big gulp of water, I opened the door and a surprised Edotu appeared in front of me.
"Yi Yun, you are indeed back... Huh? Did you go drinking last night?" Edotu shouted excitedly at first, and then asked in shock when he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
Yi Yun's body was swaying a little, as if he couldn't stand upright, so he nodded helplessly.
At this time, his eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were messy, and he was rubbing his temples with both hands. He looked like he had just woken up, and the smell of alcohol was wafting from his body. It was obvious at a glance that he was hungover.
Eduotu said apologetically: "I didn't know that you drank wine last night and woke you up so early... Is it convenient for you to talk now? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Yi Yun rubbed his forehead. He was indeed very uncomfortable now and his head was dizzy. Yesterday was his seventeenth birthday. In the Pink Dream Tavern, he and Vito celebrated it with a lot of wine. Although the motives for drinking were different,
, but the way of drinking was the same. Unexpectedly, when I woke up, I also had the first hangover in my life.
"I drank with Victor till midnight last night and I felt very comfortable. Why did my appearance change as soon as I woke up? I can't even stand firm. I feel uncomfortable and tight now." Yi Yun was confused.
A faint stream of light flew out of his chest. Munro appeared next to him, looked at Yi Yun for a while, and said with a smile: "Wine has to be drunk slowly to taste mellow. Last night, Victor was heartbroken.
He drinks to relieve his sorrows, but you also join him in drinking, the wine Victor ordered is full of strong alcohol, and he drank too much because he was not strong enough to drink, now you can taste the bitter consequences? "
It turns out that the taste of drinking alcohol is first sweet and then bitter. First there is the pleasure of drinking heavily, and then there is the pain of a hangover. Yi Yun finally realized it.
Yi Yun walked outside the house, took a deep breath of fresh air, and suddenly became more conscious. He said, "I'm fine. You must have something important to come to me for, Eduotu. Just tell me."
E Duotu smiled bitterly: "There is indeed something! You have been gone for a month since you left this time. I almost went to every corner of Tianfeng College and Tianfeng City to look for you. Unfortunately, I couldn't let anyone in the family help me search. I was looking for you.
You've had a hard time finding it... One of the items on the list you gave me before was the mithril mine, and we have already found someone willing to sell it."
"Mithril? You found it again so quickly! How much is it?" Yi Yun asked happily.
"There are one hundred catties in total, but the price is not cheap!" After a pause, Eduotu continued: "One catty is ten thousand gold coins, and one hundred catties is one million gold coins!"
"One million gold coins?" Yi Yun's smile froze instantly, and then he jumped up and said in shock: "How could it be such a sky-high price? Although mithril is a rare mineral, the price of one kilogram is only three or four thousand gold coins.
!”
Although Yi Yun didn't know much about the prices of magic weapons, he was quite clear about the market prices of amethyst ore and mithril ore.
"You are right, but those were the prices a few years ago." Edotu sighed and said: "Now the situation in the three empires is tense, there are frequent border wars, and the transactions of all kinds of mineral materials are all monitored by the empires.
Now, the sales volume is strictly controlled. Both buyers and sellers are subject to the restrictions of the empire's wartime regulations. The price has more than doubled. Mithril is one of the high-grade minerals, and the quantity is very rare.
So the price is not outrageous...
"Even the oldest weapon-refining families in the empire, the Satsuma family and the Martin family, if they want to buy mithril mine now, the price will be almost the same."
Yi Yun fell silent and thought to himself: He has found mithril veins twice and already has hundreds of kilograms of stock, which should be enough. He doesn't need to spend another one million gold coins to buy it. This price is already beyond
It's all he can bear.
Just when he was about to refuse the deal, Monroe suddenly said: "Boy, don't you think that you already have hundreds of kilograms of mithril ore, which is enough, so you don't need to buy any more?"
"That's what I think, isn't it?"
With a sneer, Monroe said: "Mythril is the only material for refining a fourth-grade magic weapon. To refine a fourth-grade magic weapon, at least five kilograms of mithril must be used, and the refining rate is lower than that of a third-grade magic weapon."
A lot, hundreds of kilograms sounds like a lot, but do you think you can successfully refine a few fourth-grade magic weapons with your level of weapon refining?"
After a pause, Munro added: "Your refinement rate of the second-grade peak magic weapon is already 40%, but have you ever calculated how much amethyst ore you used to refine it to achieve such a refinement rate?"
The probability of success? More than three hundred kilograms of amethyst ore! Refining the fourth-grade magic weapon will only be more difficult, and the consumption of mithril ore will definitely more than double, you can figure it out yourself!"
Yi Yun was stunned after hearing this, and then smiled bitterly: "But I have no money now! If I really want to take over this deal, the only way left is to sell magic weapons. But if I take out the magic weapons again, I'm afraid it will lead to trouble in the future.
Here comes trouble."
At that time, the Papuan mercenary group would betray his promise and set up a trap to kill him, just for the magic weapon. He remembered it clearly, and he did not want the same thing to happen again.
"Alas, we, the Start family, have headaches because of tacky gold coins. It can be said that we have sunk to the bottom. If those ancestors of mine were still here, they would be pissed to death..." Monroe sighed.
, said helplessly: "Sell it! Anyway, you have already sold it once before. If you really had trouble, you would have already come. It's better to do it again."
"You have searched for mineral veins in the Sunset Mountains and the World of Warcraft Swamp before. In more than a year, and with the help of a treasure hunting expert like Qiuqiu, you have only found two mithril mineral veins. The total amount is only a few hundred kilograms.
Silver is rare and hard to find, you should know better than anyone else, as long as there is something available, no matter how much, you should take it all."
Back then, he had sold twenty second-grade intermediate-level magic weapons to the Genos family. It has been a year, but just like what Munro said, no trouble has come to his door. Come to think of it,
It should be that the entire Genos family kept the matter secret. He really lived up to the warning he warned Edotu at that time. He is indeed a trustworthy trading partner.
If we really want to refine fourth-grade magic weapons and above in the future, the source of all kinds of strange minerals and stones will be the most troublesome problem. Now he is the only one left in the Start family, and without a huge family to back him up, it is impossible for him.
Like Monroe back then, he formed a mercenary group to rob and rob the entire continent, right?
It is impossible for him to find all the magic weapon refining materials by himself. Now with the connection of Edotu, the Genos family is extremely efficient and can keep its promises. It may be a worthy partner for long-term cooperation.
Yi Yun pondered for a while and then made a decision, saying: "One million gold coins is such an outrageous price... I have no choice but to buy it."
After saying that, he took out twenty weapons from the space ring and placed them in front of Edotu, saying: "These twenty second-grade intermediate magic weapons are my last inventory. I hope one can be sold this time."
More than 60,000 gold coins, a total of 1.2 million gold coins. This can not only buy one hundred kilograms of mithril, but also pay off the monthly debt of the amethyst mine you transported. Also, last time you
The more than 100,000 gold coins that the Genos family paid for me will also be returned to you."
The last time he bought the blood-striped jade, the Genos family made up the remaining balance of more than 100,000 yuan for him. However, Yi Yun did not want to owe this favor. This time, he just paid it back together. From now on, the two will not owe each other anything.
There is no entanglement of favors.
When E Duotu saw Yi Yun suddenly take out twenty magic weapons and explained that they were all second-grade mid-level weapons, he was ecstatic and said in surprise: "A handful of sixty thousand gold coins is within my authority to decide.
I can agree to it, but I still have to wait until I get it back to the family and report it to the clan leader before I can really finalize the deal."
Yi Yun smiled and said: "You said last time that this level of magic weapon can be sold for more than 60,000 gold coins. I don't want more. I only want this price. This can also pay off all the debts owed to your Genos family."
, if your clan leader can agree, let this deal be settled like this."
After Edotu left, Yi Yun staggered all the way back to the house. He was still hungover, so he took off his clothes that were full of alcohol smell, walked to the well outside the house, and poured a bucket of cold water on his head.
, a feeling of coldness surged through the whole body, and he suddenly became more awake.
"The bitter aftertaste of drinking alcohol is so strong, and it is extremely inversely proportional to the pleasure of drinking. It feels really uncomfortable. It would be better to drink less of this wine in the future." Yi Yun murmured after changing into clean clothes.
After listening to this, Monroe laughed and said: "The taste in wine is inherently sweet and bitter, so it is delicious. You are too young now and don't understand that sugar that is too sweet will only numb the tongue, and only sweetness has a bitter taste.
It’s the taste of honey that brings back sweetness.”
"Because bitterness and sweetness are also the true taste of human life."
Yi Yun shook his head in disbelief. He didn't understand, and there was no need to understand it now. He was now in the early spring when flowers were blooming. There was still a long way to go, and he couldn't imagine the severe cold in winter.
"By the way," Monroe seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "You just took out twenty second-grade intermediate magic weapons, which are your last inventory. Maybe the Genos family can find others in the future.
Strange mines and stones, when the time comes, you can't exchange the magic soldiers above the second-grade peak for money...
"The risk of doing this is too great! So, when you have time, refine dozens of second-grade intermediate magic soldiers and put them away. Anyway, magic soldiers of this level can be made with ordinary iron ore. Your
The refining rate is over 80% to 90%, so it’s not troublesome at all.”
After listening to this, Yi Yun pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Boss, you are right! Based on the lessons learned from the Papua Mercenary Group, it is best for me to control the magic weapons for sale to the second-grade level, and the second-grade mid-grade
is the most ideal.
"In this way, even if there are enemies who use the magic weapons I have refined to deal with me in the future, they will only be of the second-grade level at most. As long as I can have a third-grade or above magic weapon at that time, these people will not be afraid.
, the risk of selling magic soldiers can also be minimized, just like Buck and his mercenary group did back then."
The Papua mercenary group that set up a trap to kill him in the World of Warcraft Swamp that day mostly had first-grade elementary-level magic soldiers in their hands. The highest grade was only Buck's first-grade intermediate level. Fortunately, Yi Yun was able to refine the second-grade magic weapon at that time.
Although the top-grade magic weapon is only an unfinished defective product, it has already tied up the hands and feet of a six-star strong man who is far higher than him by an entire star level, and he can defeat the strong with the weak. In addition, the wolf
With the help of the wolf, he was finally able to kill the entire Papua mercenary group. This was the most brutal killing situation that Yi Yun had ever encountered so far.
After he finished washing, just as he was about to walk out of the iron workshop, he found Edotu running back again. It was only half an hour since he left.
"Eduotu, why are you back so soon? Did your clan leader agree to the price I proposed?" Yi Yun said with a smile.
Eduotu turned back and said breathlessly: "I came back this time for two things... The first thing, you are right, but the price is higher than what you proposed. My clan leader agreed to pay every
For the price of 65,000 gold coins, I purchased twenty second-grade mid-level magic weapons!"
"Sixty-five thousand gold coins?" Yi Yun was slightly shocked. This was five thousand more than the sixty thousand gold coins he proposed.
"Yes! My clan leader made this decision immediately after he personally appraised the twenty magic weapons just now. In addition, the clan leader asked me to tell you that the difference of more than 100,000 yuan will be regarded as my Genos
You don’t need to repay the family’s affection for you…”
"No!" Before Eduotu finished speaking, Yi Yun immediately shook his head and said, "I insist on paying back! I don't want to owe any debt of gratitude! Please thank your clan leader for me. I appreciate your kindness."
Already."
Eduotu was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed: "...Oh, I understand, and I will truthfully tell my clan leader what you said."
Yi Yun was still so aloof and unwilling to accept even the slightest favor, which made the Genos family's plan to keep him tightly in check failed.
Thinking of how before he came here just now, the leader of the Gio clan had asked him to find a way to keep Yi Yun tightly attached to their Genos family, but Yi Yun refused without thinking, without even thinking about it. There was no room for discussion.
, what else could Edotu say, he could only sigh and shake his head.
"In addition, there is another thing. Our family has found a strange jade with turquoise pith. I wonder if you are still willing to buy it?"
"Turquoise marrow?" Before Yi Yun could react, he heard Munro shout in surprise: "This is a good helper for refining third-grade magic weapons!"
"Strictly speaking, turquoise marrow is not a type of mineral, or it is a kind of jade that emits luminescence. It is not necessary for refining magic weapons, but it can have a harmonious effect with amethyst ore.
Softening the amethyst ore can also increase its toughness, which can greatly increase the rate of refining third-grade magic weapons!"
After hearing this, Yi Yun said in surprise: "Of course I want to buy it, just buy this..." He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly thought of something, and asked carefully: "Could it be just a piece of turquoise pith?
Is it a sky-high price?"
Yi Yun was naturally happy that Eduotu could repeatedly bring news of finding the strange minerals and rocks he wanted, but each time it was accompanied by outrageous sky-high prices, which made him have a headache of raising money every time, but he didn't know that this
Will the turquoise pith be in the same situation again?
Seeing Yi Yun's cautious expression, E Duotu nodded with a wry smile: "Not one, but six, and they are sold by kilograms. Six turquoise marrows total ten kilograms... The price offered by the other party is: one kilogram.
It’s fifty thousand gold coins, and ten kilograms is half a million gold coins.”
Sky-high prices seemed to be the norm every time. Yi Yun was no longer surprised, but said with a grimace: "Why are these strange stones so expensive? They seem to be more valuable than magic weapons! Aren't magic weapons very valuable? How much are they?
On the contrary, are they not as good as these strange stones?"
Edotu replied: "The value of an item depends on the person, and its value is also determined by the person who wants it. It is not absolute. The strange stones listed on your list are very important to our Genos family.
It is said that it is not even worth a thousand gold coins, but to these darling girls and dandy children from big families and royal families..."
When he mentioned the dandy, Eduotu suddenly stopped and looked at Yi Yun carefully. Seeing that he didn't care, he coughed and said, "Ahem, cough, cough, for these noble family members, these things are
Strange stones are very rare. First of all, the number of strange stones is very rare, and they are naturally expensive. Secondly, most of these noble disciples are not magic martial practitioners. Magic weapons have no appeal to them at all. They are not as good as these.
Rare and unique stones have become more important.
"The seller who owns the turquoise jade this time is the same as the princess who owned the blood-striped jade last time. They are both members of the Qiwu royal family. He also offered a fixed price. If the price is less than the price, he would rather not sell it. The royal family
Members only care about big money and are only interested in large amounts of gold coins, and are disdainful of small money."
Is she from the same royal family as the princess who took out the blood-striped jade last time? It seems that the other party has received the news of the last sale and is sure that he will buy it, so he dares to offer such an outrageous price...
"Did the buyer take the initiative to approach your Genos family this time?"
Odotu was startled, nodded and asked in surprise: "How did you know? Yes, just as you said, it was through the princess last time that we found our family."
"As expected!" Yi Yun thought for a while and said in his mind: "Boss, we just earned 1.3 million gold coins, bought a hundred kilograms of mithril mine and paid off the debt, and we only have less than 100,000 left. Since Green
Pine stone marrow is not a necessity for refining magic weapons, so don't buy it. Firstly, we have no money at all, and secondly, I don't want these royal dandies to take advantage of them and cut their money."
With a snort, Munro shook his head and said: "Everything in the list I gave you must be bought by every possible means. If your level of weapon refining is high enough, it doesn't matter if you don't buy this turquoise marrow. I'll give it to you."
Your weapon refining techniques are really too bad. Now the refining rate of the second-grade peak magic weapon is only 40%, and the refining rate of the third-grade and above must be less than half. We will reach the situation where we are taken advantage of, all because of you.
Because, you have no choice!"
Yi Yun smiled bitterly in his heart. It is true that his weapon refining techniques need to be improved, but there is no need to use the word "too bad" to describe it, right? It's very hurtful.
Eduotu saw that Yi Yun was silent and seemed to be hesitating. He advised: "Yi Yun, as the deputy elder of the Genos family, I shouldn't advise you like this: for our family, it is
I hope you can continue to buy these rare stones so that my family can get the magic weapons you sell for money. It is only good for my family... But if it is just a friend, I really want to advise you to think again...
"It can be said that the list of strange stones you made has no real use. The strange stones are just beautiful and luminous stones. They are not comparable to the value of magic weapons! You have always used rare magic weapons.
To exchange soldiers for these useless stones can be said to be a coward...
"If you want to please the girl you like, there are many ways to please her, and you must buy sky-high-priced stones to please her."
"Dandy? Pleasing girls?" Yi Yun was confused.
"Aren't you buying so many beautiful and strange stones just to please a certain woman? Only women will like these stones that are beautiful in appearance but useless in essence." Eduotu said matter-of-factly.
Yi Yun almost felt like crying!
He wanted to use strange stones to refine high-grade magic weapons, so how could he be misunderstood as trying to please women? He was actually considered a playboy?
"Hahaha, a dandy who pleases women? You have another indecent name! It is normal for laymen to have such misunderstandings. It should not only be Eduotu who thinks so, but also his
The whole family will think so, right? They will look at you like a playboy, and they will naturally relax their guard against you, which is only good for you. This can be said to be a dream." Monroe laughed.
Munro was right, the name of a dandy was a protective umbrella that could protect him from troublesome ups and downs.
After thinking for a while, Yi Yun said: "Eduotu, thank you for your kind reminder, but I still decided to buy it. Those strange rocks and mines are very important to me. In addition, in addition to the twenty magic weapons just now,
Please take this magic weapon back to the family for appraisal and help me sell it at a higher price."
Yi Yun took out another magic weapon and placed it in front of Edotu.
This magic weapon is obviously different from the previous ones. There is a faint yellow glow on the weapon, and there is also a slight flash of electric arc. A discerning person can tell at a glance that this is a magic weapon of the thunder system.
"How can a mere magic weapon be sold for more than 500,000 gold coins?" Eduotu looked suspicious, but without asking any more questions, he immediately left with the magic weapon.
"Yi Yun, you didn't even want to take out the second-grade mid-level magic weapon just now. Why are you willing to give the second-grade high-level thunder magic weapon to Edotu?" Munro asked doubtfully.
road.
"Boss, didn't you just say that I have given away all the second-grade mid-level magic soldiers, and now I don't even have a handful of them in stock. I broke four top-level second-grade magic soldiers in succession before, and now I only have one left.
The two pinnacle magic weapons, one of the fire type and the other of the water type, are my most advantageous weapons at the moment. Of course, they are impossible to sell, so only the scrap high-level magic weapons that I have refined before can be sold," Yi Yun said.
"Why did you want to create a thunder-type magic weapon at that time?"
"It's just an experiment, trying how to use the magic core to refine magic weapons with different attributes, because only with this experiment can I successfully create a top water magic weapon in the future."
After Yi Yun finished speaking, he walked out of the iron workshop and walked towards the city gate. He only went out to buy food yesterday, but he stayed in Tianfeng City all night without thinking. Now he just wants to go back quickly, but Qiuqiu was moved by him.
If you stay in the stone room, you should be starving by now.
Walking on the street, the street was crowded with people, most of whom were business travelers. Yi Yun just walked towards the city gate. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a carriage with a very familiar totem, "Lightning Tiger Stripe"!
It’s the Lanwell family’s motorcade that has arrived in Tianfeng City!
