"Oh? Do you have sunflowers?" Mu You was surprised.
"I don't have it, but one of my clients does." Lu Yao said.
"Customer?" Mu You was stunned.
"I opened a second-hand store on the forum, didn't you know?" said the other person.
"……I gonna go see."
Mu You casually cut out of the forum and turned to the homepage of "The Man Who Sends Fire" to take a look.
Sure enough, at this time, the name of her homepage had changed to "The Fire Store". Below, Ling Ling listed dozens of pictures, all of which were of various equipment and props. The purchase price and detailed information were marked behind each item. The equipment introduction looks a bit similar to the redemption interface in the Longteng software.
"Where did you get so much equipment?" Mu You asked strangely.
"Some of them were taken back by me at low prices, and some of them were put up for sale by customers. If they are sold, I can receive a part of the commission... By the way, do you have any second-hand things that you want to sell?" Lu Yao explain.
"You are an idle fish..."
Muyou has already found familiar advertising slogans on many product pages, such as "girls use ninety-nine new products for their own use", "best friend vomits blood and resells" and so on.
"Absolutely, but my business is not limited to domestic business, but also international business. A few days ago, a player from Africa sent a private message asking me if I would accept Sunflower. I thought it would be confiscated if it couldn't be sold. I didn't expect that someone would really need it."
"It's still the international version..."
Mu You was speechless for a moment. After carefully looking through the history records, I found that her store was quite popular. She had actually sold more than a dozen pieces of equipment in the historical sales, but most of them were fine grade or above, with very few ordinary grade and black iron grade equipment.
Lu Yao said: "I will contact that person right away. It may take a few days to receive the goods. Please keep your two pieces of equipment for me first!"
"Can."
Mu You nodded. It didn't matter who he approached for the transaction. Since the other party had channels, it was of course the most convenient and safest way to deal with an acquaintance, saving him the trouble.
"By the way, how do you set the prices of equipment in your store?" Mu You asked again.
The price tags of the equipment in her shop are a little confusing, and they seem to be quite different from the prices of goods sold in shops in the Celestial Spirit World.
"The average price of black iron-grade equipment here is 5 years per piece, the average lifespan of ordinary grade is 30 years, the lifespan of sophisticated grade is 250 years, the lifespan of rare grade is 1500 years, the lifespan of epic grade is 0 years, and the average life is about 8000 years... Of course, I am currently The highest-grade equipment I have received is sophisticated grade, and no one has come to me to sell anything above rare grade..." Lu Yao said.
"The prices of black iron and ordinary ones are so low..."
Mu You found that the price of her product was a bit high. A piece of black iron equipment in the Star Spirit Realm lasts for 30 years, which is reduced by 6 times here. The 100 years for the ordinary level is reduced to less than one third here, and the 300 years for the sophisticated level is not much. .
But from now on, the value of rare-level equipment in the star spirit world is about 0, and epic-level equipment is about 0, but the value has increased in her store!
"There is no way. The higher the level of equipment, the smaller the quantity and the easier it is to sell. It is also priceless in the Star Spirit World. I can basically sell equipment above the sophisticated level very quickly after I get it. It is difficult to sell the ordinary grade and black iron grade, and many of them have been on the market for a long time without anyone paying attention." Lu Yao said.
After hearing this, Mu You understood. To put it bluntly, equipment is also a kind of luxury for players. Those who can afford equipment are often old players who are rich enough, and old players will not lack low-level equipment below ordinary level. After all, these things are in the game. The probability of breaking out in bad streets, grinding monsters, opening treasure chests, etc. is not low. After playing for a long time, it will overflow.
To put it simply, "those who need it can't afford it, and those who can afford it don't need it." This ultimately leads to this relatively abnormal market price.
"In that case, I want all the equipment in your store!" Mu You said suddenly after looking at the many pictures of equipment in the store and doing some mental calculations.
"Ah?" Lu Yao on the opposite side was obviously startled when he heard this: "Are you serious?"
"certainly."
"..."
Lu Yao was silent, and after a long time she spoke: "Actually, those labels of "for girls' own use" are just labels, not true..."
"...Uh, I know."
"Know
Do you still want to buy it? "
"Khan, what do you think I bought it for?" Mu You had a dark look on his face. Of course he bought low-level equipment to be used for synthesis. Where did the other party want to go?
"I also want to know. There are a lot of ladies-only equipment here. What do you want to use them for?" Lu Yao asked.
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, I have a serious use. Are you going to sell it?"
"If you really want me to sell it, of course I'll sell it. I'm worried that I won't be able to do it. I'm just afraid that you'll lose money." Lu Yao said.
"Then it's settled, will you accept cash or something else?" Mu You asked.
"I currently only accept barter, not cash for the time being."
Lu Yao said, and then added: "The price of cash exchange life has fluctuated a bit recently, I have to wait and see."
"Oh? So how does bartering work?"
"For the price I mentioned above, you can exchange it for higher-end equipment or props. One ordinary equipment can be exchanged for six pieces of black iron, one piece of sophisticated equipment can be exchanged for 50 pieces of black iron. If you have other types of props or magic potions, For things like that, I can also give you an estimate on the spot."
"Quite professional..."
Mu You nodded, glanced at the product list again, and quickly made a plan.
"Then a pair of sophisticated mud boots, in exchange for all four pieces of ordinary equipment, plus 26 pieces of black iron equipment."
The other party's store currently only has 4 ordinary items and 29 black items, so Mu You basically cleared them all with just one scan.
"Milt boots... aren't they one of the rewards you posted in exchange for Xianghua?" Lu Yao was confused. He had already advanced his future rewards. What would he give in exchange for Xianghua?
"Don't worry, we will definitely give you fine equipment."
Mu You breathed out.
The synthesis furnace combines six pieces of black iron into one ordinary piece, and six ordinary pieces into one fine piece. In terms of value, it is equivalent to 36 pieces of black iron. That is, it can be exchanged for one fine piece after a life of 180 years, and the price of the fine grade is In 250 years, each piece of fine art synthesized is equivalent to a net gain of 70 years of life.
He bought these, plus the four ordinary pieces of equipment he already had on his body, which was enough to synthesize two pieces of sophisticated equipment. One piece could be exchanged, and he could keep one piece for himself. It was a sure-profit deal.
"That's fine."
The two quickly finalized the deal and agreed to deliver the goods tomorrow morning.
After hanging up the phone, Mu You continued to browse the Fool Forum and switched to the transaction interface to take a look.
What Lu Yao said just now about "the recent price fluctuation of cash exchange life span" made him a little concerned.
As expected from this observation, the trading market for magic props and items has changed a lot recently.
In the past, the exchange of cash for magic items was based on a lifespan ratio of 100,000:1, but in recent transaction posts, this ratio has begun to fall crazily, from 50,000 to 1 to 30,000 to 1. Even in some posts today, the market has become One year's life is equivalent to about 10,000 cash, which is ten times lower than the original!
Of course, Muyou can think of the reason for this: obviously it is because of the influence of the previous public beta announcement!
The reason lifespan and magic props were so valuable before was because they were rare enough. However, once the open beta comes and lifespan trading is opened, people all over the world can enter the game and obtain magic props and lifespan. As a large number of magic props flow into the market, , the value of lifespan and magic items will of course depreciate sharply until they return to their original value, which is close to the price of goods in the star spirit world.
As for the value of life in the star spirit world, according to what Mu You saw when he met the goblin businessman, a pack of food that can be worth three months of rations is sold for about 20 days of life. Of course, this only refers to the minimum standard, which can only satisfy one's needs. belly rations.
According to this value, the value of one day's life should be between 20 and 30 yuan in RMB.
According to this standard, the current exchange ratio may continue to decrease. In other words, the earth's currency will continue to appreciate in the future, so it is not a wise move to exchange cash for magic items recently.
No wonder there have been fewer large cash transaction posts on the forum these days. It seems that players have a keen sense of smell.
After browsing forum posts for a while, the time gradually passed midnight.
In the game, we finally reached the wine
The location of the Ghost Blacksmith.
Mu You cut off the skin of the herb collector and entered the blacksmith shop.
The old dwarf was still so dedicated and didn't keep him waiting even late at night. An interactive text popped up as soon as he arrived.
Mu You ordered a prepared bottle of Moutai from the ring.
[You gave a bottle of unknown wine to the dwarf blacksmith. 】
[After the blacksmith tasted it, he called you "divine wine", immediately treated you as a distinguished guest, and asked you enthusiastically what you need. 】
Sure enough, the undiluted wine was deeply loved by the dwarves.
Mu You clicked on the synthetic stove in his backpack.
[You take out the synthetic furnace that is full of cracks and ask the blacksmith if it can be repaired. 】
[You saw the blacksmith taking the synthesis furnace and observing it for a long time, his expression became solemn, and he finally nodded towards you. 】
[The blacksmith said that the furnace is made of special material and can be repaired, but it requires a very special material. Without this material, even he cannot repair it. 】
[You asked the blacksmith what materials he needs? 】
[The blacksmith seriously raised all the fingers of both his hands at you! 】
【Ten bottles! The blacksmith tells you that if you want to know this secret, you will need at least ten bottles of this wine! 】
"Ten bottles..."
Mu You's finger has already been placed on the large box in the ring that he packed specially and sealed fifty bottles of various famous wines. He was stunned when he saw this condition, and withdrew his finger from the "gift all" option, opened the box, and counted ten bottles.
[You handed ten bottles of unknown wine to the dwarf blacksmith. 】
[The blacksmith was overjoyed, hurriedly put away all the wine bottles, and happily told Xin Mi. 】
[The material needed to repair the furnace is called "Cold Iron Essence". It is an extremely rare living metal that can only be born and continue to grow in extremely cold places. 】
[The old blacksmith once owned a cold iron seedling, but it was too small to be used to refine weapons. This is also the reason why he chose to retire under the Misty Mountain after being exiled by the empire. The icy environment on the top of the misty mountaintop is the perfect environment for the growth of cold iron spirits. 】
[When the blacksmith was young, he sent the iron essence seedling to the top of the misty mountain. Now hundreds of years have passed, it should have grown to a size large enough to make weapons. 】
[It’s just that the environment on the top of the misty mountain is too extreme. The icy wind that acts on the regular level floats on the snowy mountain top all year round. This kind of wind has the characteristic of “not being able to keep warm”. No matter how thick the clothes are, people will be caught in the wind. Continued hypothermia until frozen to death. 】
[The dwarves live on the ice and snow plateau all year round and have a natural resistance to cold. Coupled with the strong body of the blacksmith when he was young, they can withstand the invasion of the icy wind. But now the old blacksmith has been addicted to alcohol all year round. , His body has long since deteriorated, and he can no longer withstand the harsh environment on the top of the mountain, so he has been unable to go up the mountain to retrieve the iron essence. 】
[The blacksmith gives you the map of the location where he buried the iron essence on the top of the mountain, saying that if you have the ability to retrieve the iron essence from the top of the mountain, he will give the iron essence to you and help you repair the synthesis furnace. 】
[You have obtained the "Rudimentary Misty Mountain Top Map". 】
Mu You clicked it out and took a look, and it turned out to be a "simple" map. Only a few strokes were used to outline the relative positions of several peaks on the map, and then an X was drawn somewhere on one of the peaks.
"Can't it be kept warm..."
Mu You frowned. Being unable to keep warm means that you cannot rely on ordinary external objects to resist the cold. Your body must be able to withstand the temperature of nearly 100 degrees below zero. This is indeed a bit troublesome.
The only solution that Mu You can think of for the time being is the "ice resistance potion".
However, this potion can only last for five minutes, and the cooling time is as long as one day. On such a vast snowy mountain top, five minutes is obviously not enough time to do anything.
After thinking for a moment, Mu You still shook his head. This matter is not urgent. Even a broken furnace can still be used. At least anything below the sophisticated level can be synthesized normally. As for the higher ones, he doesn't have that many low-level equipment available now. .
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Mu You teleported to the Elf Forest.
After having the chocobo, traveling became much more convenient. It took him more than ten minutes to find the training hall in the forest, entered it, and chose a training in "Elf Fighting Technique".
This is a pure melee skills training,
Without adding any attributes or talents, Mu You still doesn't know what the specific effect will be, but among the remaining trainings that can be exchanged, this seems to be the most useful one.
[Elf fighting skills training is in progress and is expected to be completed in 8 hours...]
After eight hours of training, the game became inoperable.
Mu You went out to complete the typing task, and then quickly caught up on his sleep.
Early the next morning, Lu Yao called early and woke Mu You up.
When I went downstairs, I saw a sneaky little girl lingering at the door.
Mu You opened the door and let her in.
Lu Yao took out a cardboard box from her backpack. After opening it, it was filled with equipment of all kinds.
Mu You also handed her the mud boots.
After the two counted each other out, the deal was made.
"Are you really sure you want them all? It's still too late to regret now..." Lu Yao still looked at Mu You suspiciously.
"What's there to regret? Besides, I'll cover all the ordinary and black iron-grade equipment in your store from now on." Mu Youyou said.
"Holy shit, you still want it?"
Lu Yao looked at Mu You in surprise, hesitated, and asked, "Do you... have any way to synthesize equipment?"
Mu You thought for a while and nodded: "I know a blacksmith in the game who can combine low-level equipment into a higher-level one, but the highest level is sophisticated."
This business will be done for a long time in the future. Just like now, Lu Yao can easily see his purpose, so he simply finds a reasonable reason himself to save others from guessing.
"Sure enough!"
Lu Yao's eyes lit up: "That's great! If you come up with sophisticated equipment and want to take action in the future, remember to find me!"
"good."
…
After watching Lu Yao leave, Mu You moved the box back to the room, entered the backpack space, took out the synthetic furnace, and started the experiment on the spot.
In the description of the synthesis furnace, the word "recipe" is mentioned, which means that the actual synthesis combination may be more than those two.
Mu You randomly selected six pieces of black iron-level equipment from the box and threw them into the furnace one by one, filling the six grids.
After closing the lid, the stove trembled slightly, the surface gradually became hot, and the synthesis began.
[Synthesis furnace: Synthesis is in progress and is expected to be completed in 24 hours. The synthesis process cannot be interrupted, otherwise unknown consequences will occur. 】
"Unknown consequences..."
Looking at the prompt fed back from the omniscient crystal, Mu You thought for a while, held the pocket watch, and opened the furnace lid.
The moment the lid was opened, a large amount of hot air spurted out. At the same time, along with a muffled sound, a piece of equipment being formed in the furnace turned into a piece of coke in the dense mist.
But before it was scorched, Mu You could see clearly that it was a bow, and the style looked somewhat familiar.
"In other words, what will be refined in the end is actually determined the moment the equipment is put in..."
Mu You thought, immediately pressed the pocket watch and returned to before starting the synthesis.
Looking into the furnace again, sure enough, in the first grid of the furnace, there was a black iron-level bow, which was almost the same in appearance as the fused equipment just now.
This discovery made Mu You's heart skip a beat: Could it be that the synthesized equipment is not completely random, but also has some kind of pattern?
Thinking of this, he immediately changed a batch of equipment and conducted the same experiment again.
As a result, after opening the lid this time, what was formed in the furnace was the shadow of a shield, and none of the six pieces of equipment he just put in was a shield?
"Is it just a coincidence?"
Mu You frowned, looked back in time, and continued to try.
What follows is constant experimentation and backtracking.
After trying dozens of times to combine the various equipment on hand as much as possible, Mu You finally figured out the rule: as long as three of the six pieces of equipment invested are of the same type, such as three weapons, The final synthesized weapon must be a weapon. At the same time, the style and appearance of the final synthesized weapon will also be the same as the weapon in the first grid.
And if you put three items of each type at the same time, such as three weapons and three breastplates, the final
Half and half chance for breastplate and half for weapons.
In other words, as long as the conditions are met, he can predict the type and shape of the final synthesized equipment in advance.
Once you master this rule, it will be much easier to handle.
The first thing Mu You thought of was: You can upgrade your mithril bow!
"Mithril bow, red oak wand, poison wand, hound helmet, colonist's shoulder armor, flame necklace."
Mu You put six pieces of ordinary-level equipment into the furnace in turn and closed the lid.
After the synthesis started, he opened the furnace and took a look. In the flash of exploding light and shadow, it turned out that what was left in the furnace was the image of the mithril bow, and it also had an empty slot.
In other words, the punching slot will also be inherited after synthesis!
Mu You felt relieved, retraced the time, put the lid back on, and started the synthesis with peace of mind.
It took a whole day to synthesize. Muyou placed the stove in the corner, then took out his phone and took a look.
[Elf fighting skills training has been completed. 】
One night passed, and the training in the training hall was over.
Mu You felt that there were some messy memories or instincts in his mind.
This was a very mysterious feeling. He immediately summoned a wooden clone in the grass and tried his fists and kicks against the clone.
The conclusion is that his actions and reactions are significantly smoother than before, and his every move is organized. This is of course not an improvement brought about by attribute changes, but an improvement in combat skills.
If his previous close combats with people were all wild street fights, now he has a formal fighting system. The elf fighting style, known for its flexibility and agility, allows him to utilize his original strength and agility attributes in a more efficient way.
No changes can be seen on the panel, but the actual combat capabilities have been greatly improved.
"good!"
Mu You nodded with satisfaction. The training exchanged by the elves was still very real. There was no fooling around. You got what you paid for.
There were no plans for the next day, so Mu Youwo spent the whole day making cards at home.
In addition to making several spare copies of the newly acquired "Fire Giant" and "Annihilation", he also successfully converted the "Wooden Clone" into black magic.
[Wooden clone: high-level black magic, using plant energy to create a mirror clone with exactly the same appearance, and copying the mirror image of the equipment currently worn by the body (only inherits the basic attributes of the original equipment, and will automatically disappear after being separated from the clone.)
This clone has 100% of the panel attributes of the main body and can use all the ordinary magic mastered by the main body. The clone shares the field of vision with the main body, but the clone has no consciousness and needs to be controlled by the main body. There is no limit to the duration, and there can be at most one clone. 】
The black magic version of the clone removes the restriction of being unable to cause damage and inherits the attributes and ordinary magic of the original body.
A clone that can use magic would be so powerful!
It's trivial to confuse the fake with the real thing. Recruiting such a clone during the battle is equivalent to doubling the combat power!
The weakness is that only ordinary magic is inherited, and black magic and equipment effects cannot be inherited.
In addition, this clone has no consciousness and cannot move unless controlled. It is equivalent to a wooden sculpture and must be controlled by Mu You at all times.
This tests Mu You's dual-thread ability, especially in rapidly changing battles. Dual-tasking often means that the mind has to switch back and forth between the main body and the clone. The more intense the moment, the easier it is to focus on one and lose sight of the other.
There are no shortcuts to this technique. You can only slowly adapt to it through long-term double-line practice.
