Chapter 160 Dongye County Trading Plaza
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Mu decided not to go there to suppress the bandits. He would not lack one, and one more would not be too much.
Since he came to the county, it would be a waste if he did not visit the trading square.
Whether in the past life or this life, Lin Mu was quite interested in the player trading square, especially in this life, he had a lot of knowledge and could know the value of many mysterious items better than other players.
This was the legendary picking up leaks. Lin Mu liked the joy after picking up leaks, which was a kind of satisfaction, a transcendent feeling!
…
Lin Mu came to Dongye County for the first time. This was the place where he settled down in his previous life. He left a lot of memories. Naturally, he was very familiar with it. Along the avenue, Lin Mu rushed to the square.
The second goal was: Dongye County Trading Square.
Dongye County Trading Square was a place where players bought and sold various items. There were also shops of the Han Dynasty, which was the so-called system mall in the mouth of players.
Because the taxes and fees of that territory [Trading Market] were too high, it was not the first choice for most players, so the trading square in the county was the most economical choice.
The trading square is very developed. There is a huge circular square. On one side of the square is a territory-level [Trading Market] building. The market in Lin Mu's territory is connected to this building market.
Players can set up stalls in the trading square to sell items. They only need to pay a 3% tax rate. Moreover, it is a face-to-face transaction, and the money and goods are cleared. Compared with the high tax rate of the system trading market, this place is more popular with players and very prosperous. In his previous life, Lin Mu himself also liked to hang out here to see if there was any luck and make a fortune. The prosperity and the large number of players also led to many good things appearing here. What Lin Mu needs to do now is to pick up leaks before other players realize the true value of some items!
In addition, on the seventh day of each month, many indigenous NPCs will set up stalls in the trading square here. This is the market day of the county town, which happens once a month.
At that time, NPCs sold a lot of things, including various equipment, many magical props, skills, etc., and even "heirlooms". These are very high-end in the eyes of players.
Unfortunately, it is already the middle of the month, the market day has long passed, and the next month's market day is still far away. There is no way. The secret passage has just been controlled, and I am already very anxious to rush here.
The trading square is on the east side of the county, and Lin Mu rushed straight here.
I saw many players on the road, some were also rushing, and some were strolling. Many players are still enjoying life leisurely, but after some game truths were announced later, many players have changed. Although there are still many players playing games leisurely instead of being played by the game, there are also many players who are played by the game. There are also more players with strong utilitarian purposes, ostracizing and forming parties, conspiracy, open and secret struggles, etc., all kinds of life!
Lin Mu still prefers the current game environment, which is lively, as if now is the most real self.
Dongye County, according to Lin Mu's speculation, there are about 400,000 to 500,000 players now, and the peak may reach more than one million in the future. It is considered a remote county. Many major forces will not make great efforts here, but it is still necessary to arrange one or two studios under their jurisdiction to develop here.
Lin Mu rode his horse and soon arrived at the trading square. A noisy and lively atmosphere rushed towards him, accompanied by countless voices of bargaining or arguing. There was already a prototype of prosperity here.
The square with a radius of one square kilometer now has many players setting up stalls on the side. After so many days of adventure and monster hunting, many items have slowly appeared, and there are also many players who have obtained many rare items through adventures. As long as you have vision and money.
Lin Mu has vision and money, so he can be willful here. What's more, Lin Mu has a feeling of blessing coming today.
This feeling appeared before when he just entered the game. He stole the Yellow Dragon God Order. Is it telepathic, hehe...
Lin Mu, who arrived at the square, looked at the familiar scene and felt a little emotional, but he did not stop and tied his mount to a stable.
He started to walk along the stalls on the right side. Lin Mu looked at it with great interest. Although there was nothing particularly good for the time being, he still enjoyed the process.
After walking around for a while, Lin Mu's eyes lit up and stopped in front of a small stall.
The owner of the stall was a young player. His clothes and equipment were not complete, and some of them were very worn out. He should not have been doing well, but the things he put on the stall attracted Lin Mu very much, and when Lin Mu saw this thing, his heart trembled fiercely.
Name: [Langya Waterwheel]
Level: Earth Level
Features: Making Illustrations
Attributes: After using the illustrations, the woodworking workshop can make earth-level props: Langya Waterwheel, professional requirements: master craftsman.
Introduction: Legend has it that a master carpenter was able to break through the master-level profession after creating this thing, and was admired by thousands of people. He also left his illustrations for future generations as a legacy, but unfortunately his family fell into decline and the illustrations were buried in the world.
This is the attribute that Lin Mu can see without using skills. It seems that this player has already asked an appraiser to appraise it, and he probably knows the value of this thing. Lin Mu's heart sank. If he wants to fool the earth-level items, it seems that he needs to bleed a lot.
If it is an unappraised item, the player who is not the owner can only see a name, and other attributes cannot be detected, unless the appraisal skills are relatively advanced, and the earth-level items can be appraised.
Lin Mu's [Talong Qi-Viewing Technique] is of a very low level.
Suppressing his shock, Lin Mu pretended to look around casually like other players who were strolling around. However, after looking at it for a while, Lin Mu directly asked the illustration: "Brother, can this [Langya Waterwheel] be cheaper?"
The stall owner marked the price at 1,000 gold coins. It seems that he also slightly guessed the value of this manufacturing illustration. The manufacturing drawings of waterwheels are very rare, not to mention the illustrations. This type of thing is more expensive than other architectural drawings. Moreover, generally knowledgeable players know that for farmers who planted farmland in ancient times, waterwheels are very important and have a great role in preventing natural disasters such as drought.
Lin Mu is also very clear about the difference between drawings and illustrations. Drawings are one-time and targeted at individuals, while illustrations can allow many people to learn and manufacture.
Ten million copper coins are far from its value in Lin Mu's mind, but Lin Mu is not going to buy the illustrations directly. Although he has no shortage of coins, he is not so squandering.
Seeing the players around him eager to buy but with limited money, Lin Mu had an idea and decided to make a detour. Anyway, no one else was trying to buy it.
"Brother, I got this thing from a dangerous eagle's nest. It took me a lot of effort. 1,000 gold is not expensive for such a rare illustration. You look like a big boss, so you can pay with real money!"
"Well, let me exchange something with you. I don't have so much money!" Lin Mu pretended to think about it and replied.
"It depends on what you have. What do you want to exchange?" The stall owner was also looking forward to what Lin Mu wanted to exchange. Many people had seen this thing and wanted it, but it was a pity that the price was a pitfall, killing countless people!
"This!" Lin Mu took out the Xuan-level weapon Qinggang Gun from his backpack.
"The Xuan-level weapon Qinggang Spear! Take a look at its attributes." Lin Mu shared the weapon's attributes with him:
Name: [Qinggang Spear]
Level: Xuan-level
Features: Weapon
Attributes: Combat Power +1500, Sharpness +20, Durability 1000/1000.
Introduction: Made by a famous master, it is trustworthy! Made of Qinggang Copper Mine, it is very sharp, a weapon for killing people and a weapon for showing off.
A player next to him saw this weapon and exclaimed: "Xuan-level weapon, the attributes are so strong! Just changing an illustration? Is the illustration very precious?" The player next to him might be new and didn't see the attributes of the illustration.
"Get lost, this Xuan-level weapon is precious, but that illustration is priceless. Our boss has already gone to raise funds, so you poor guys shouldn't envy him! Humph!" The words of this player attracted the angry gazes of the players next to him, but unfortunately they didn't take action, but just whispered and cursed, as if the boss's deterrent power was very strong.
However, the stall owner was not affected by other players. After a careful look, he shook his head and sighed, "Your weapon is of Xuan level, which is not enough."
To be honest, high-level weapons and equipment are very popular in the market now. Xuan-level weapons are worth dozens of gold coins, and there is still no market. In exchange for this illustration, it is really not enough. The stall owner hopes that Lin Mu will add some more things. He has wasted too much time and energy on this illustration and wants to sell it as soon as possible.
Lin Mu took out something from his backpack again. The stall owner took a look and immediately covered the item with his hands and said, "Just add this and trade it now!"
Then, a trading system prompt appeared. Lin Mu put the gun and the item on the trading panel. Ding, the transaction was successful.
Everyone got what they wanted, it was fair and aboveboard, and there was no deception.
Lin Mu gently put the illustration into his backpack and breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the priceless illustration, the item would depreciate in the future, and the Xuan-level weapon was not worth mentioning.
After getting a good weapon and the item that he had covered tightly, the stall owner became much more enthusiastic: "Brother, do you need anything else? Just look around. If you like it, I will try to give you the lowest price."
Lin Mu had already looked at all the things on his stall, some wild monster furs, claws, and some iron ore, which were useless to Lin Mu. Shaking his head, Lin Mu left the stall.
Seeing Lin Mu leave, the stall owner was also slightly disappointed. I don't know if this player is generous or ignorant. He actually exchanged such a weapon and a village building order for an illustrated book that he didn't know if it was useful. It's a pity that he didn't like other things. He shook his head and looked at the yellow-level village building order in his backpack, laughing so hard that his mouth almost split.
It's hard to say who got the advantage. In Lin Mu's mind, the stall owner didn't know that he sold a hen that could lay gold coins.
And in the eyes of the stall owner, Lin Mu was the same.
And those players were stunned. This person really exchanged something worth thousands of gold. In the end, what kind of treasure that thing was, no one could see clearly.
Lin Mu turned around and quickly disappeared in the crowd before everyone could react.
