Snap.
Melina's little leather shoes stepped on a pool of blood, and the sticky texture made her frown displeased. There was no need to fight... She sighed, but with the belief that she would not lose, she waved her right hand down.
Click.
Ten bullet casings landed neatly on the ground.
Melina's little face twitched, and she regretted for the thousandth time whether her decision to make the magic [Morning Star's Radiant Alchemy] was a little hasty. She spent nearly 10,000 gold lei to make a life-saving one. The magic is not ready for you to use, is it too hasty?
General-purpose musket ammunition is very cheap, and the price of 1 copper lei for 10 rounds is the best value for money.
1 silver lei can be exchanged for 100 rounds.
1 gold lei can be exchanged for 1,000 rounds.
For ordinary musketeers, it is simply not enough. A musket is a weapon that pursues hit rate rather than bullet count.
But Melina consumes 10 times more bullets than a normal musketeer. 10 times the expenditure is terrible no matter what the expenditure is. For example, if the ticket is 2 yuan per ticket, then Melina's ticket is 20 yuan per ticket. open. A 2 yuan ticket is considered cheap, but a 20 yuan ticket can be painful every time you spend it.
Now every time Melina fires, it is equivalent to destroying 1 copper lei.
Heartache is inevitable.
Melina decided to take good care of her finances. Although it was not impossible to ask Senior Sonia for money, it was still a bit weird. In the past few days, Melina was originally planning to use her senior's savings to order some things and have a great time, but she discovered an extremely terrifying thing... Two seniors, Sonia and Maria, were there. Hamlet’s local dining experience is actually AA!
This is really scary.
Melina is a good-looking person. Both seniors are AA, so she must be AA! The price of good face is that you have to spend an extra 2 silver lei every day to order takeout, and sometimes you even have to pay 1 gold lei for a meal. Oh my god, eating 3 gold lei for a meal, is this the kind of consumption that the Weeping Peninsula should have? Unfortunately, as the poorest girl in the girls' dormitory, Meimei doesn't understand the consumption level of her senior classmates.
When she was thinking about 'economics' in her mind.
The two howling wind dragons couldn't hold back anymore and secretly approached from the left and right sides. As intelligent creatures, dragons naturally understand that a girl who can grab a dragon by its neck like a thermometer is not to be messed with. But Huanglongzhong also wants to save face (this is a true habit), and the so-called theory of three wins has already appeared in Huanglongzhong's cunning little mind.
There are many dragons on our side, even if one of them dies, they are still four against one! This is a victory.
The other person is short and looks like a banshee cub! This is two wins.
Three...I can't make up the third one. Come on, brothers and sisters! Uh-huh!
Perhaps what the two howling dragons were thinking was 'four against one can't just run away without fighting', but the last two more cunning howling dragons who had already run away were probably thinking 'to save face and suffer the consequences'.
Melina felt the fishy wind blowing against her face, came back to her senses, and saw that the Howling Wind Dragon had begun to spit out hallucinogenic spray, and she was about to dodge backwards. Halfway through the technical movement, she changed to 'dodge' forward. In just a short moment, she understood one thing and failed to understand another.
What I want to understand is: First-level dragons are like chickens to kill, but they dare to fight head-on. This is a rare opportunity.
What I don't understand is: instead of running away, the enemy actually dares to attack me?
Stepping forward, Melina used the World Peace Elbow she learned from Maria, and used the banshee's natural weapon to crush the howling dragon's jaw from bottom to top. Turning over and riding on the dragon's body, Bang Bang knocked it to the ground with two punches, then got close to him and fired several shots at the head, easily killing one in seconds.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the other one took advantage of the fact that his brother was in trouble and ran backwards, his chicken-like wings almost flaring out.
But it was too late.
Although Melina killed two Howling Wind Dragons, one was Yagami-style strangulation, and the other was Artest-style flat elbow, but in the end, she saved face for her main profession, 'shooter', by using a gun. solved the problem. She attaches so much importance to her identity as a shooter, so she can naturally be regarded as a long-range unit. If she exposes her back to a long-range unit, the consequences can be imagined.
With two consecutive shots, the howling dragon fell to the ground and died after being penetrated through the spine and shot into the heart from behind. At the same time, there was a sound of slaps.
Melina gave herself two kisses, feeling regretful in her heart.
The shooting skills she learned from the academy were originally two-shot bursts, but now she would be at a loss if she used these two bursts! Ten guns fired in a volley, and a full 20 rounds of ammunition went out. It cost one-fifth of today's takeout fee! Even if there is a cook at home now, the meal expenses will be even worse!
What's worse is that Melina's parameters were adjusted relatively high, and the gun locked the head. The most vulnerable and valuable material of the Howling Wind Dragon was only the horns on its head. The horns of the three remaining ones were all beaten. To a pulp. The economic bureau is in ruins.
To estimate, the profit is about 1 silver and 5 copper lei, and it depends on whether the locals will accept the meat of the howling wind dragon... The feathers of this dragon are real feathers, and they are very ugly, with no value as handicrafts. The magic factor in her body... Melina has nothing but the yellow dragon seed factor.
Fortunately, Melina is considered an economic bureau by herself.
Other banshees need to buy electricity for their weapons.
Melina, on the other hand, is self-sufficient in power supply.
After calculating this, the economy is acceptable.
Coupled with the commission reward, Melina has finally raised enough 0.0001% of the upgrade fee for the musket level four - the first three levels are managed by Senior Sister Ma and Senior Sister Suo. Originally, Melina wanted to save face. But when I saw the bill, I could only lie down on the spot, "I saved the world and you still want to ask me for enhancement fees?" '.
Arranging clothes and burying corpses, Melina was not very skilled and shy in doing this work for the first time.
The smell of blood was swallowed up by the fishy smell of earth. Melina looked at the small bag of dirt on the ground. This was dust returning to dust. The body of the Howling Wind Dragon would be turned into a hundred times more nutrients, allowing the local cherry blossom trees to bloom... and, in turn, allowing local crops to grow. Even better, dragon corpses are a natural expense, and there is no need to rack your brains to collect excrement to make fertilizer.
After completing the finishing work, Melina walked out and called for Georgia.
The mayor of a small Georgia town wearing only winter clothes came over. She took steps that suppressed her excitement and controlled her desire to jump. She walked like a girl pretending to be mature, walking like a lady. After one or two steps, she stopped pretending and stepped forward quickly.
"Did you drive away those dragons?"
"Yes, your commission has been completed, and your voice and will have been asserted..." Melina covered her face with an umbrella, "...please settle the final payment."
This is not a formal commission, but more like a private job.
Not every place has an explorer guild. Urgent commissions, such as small matters caused by ecological changes, are usually done privately. As long as the tacit understanding between the two parties is sufficient, there will be no market problems.
In other words, if you default on your debt, other than admitting that you are unlucky and never accepting the commission next time, there are limited legal means that you can take.
The town mayor has no intention of defaulting.
She reached into her pocket and took out a clockwork cat style wallet. This furry shape is very popular with little girls, and it has a certain space expansion effect. That is the secret of the clockwork cat. This furry and space-expanding wallet can only be made by a clockwork cat. It is said that it uses the technology of a magical creature called a cat lamp, a relative of the clockwork cats.
“…2 gold lei.”
Georgia had golden lei in her purse, as well as some gems and lei coupons. It is definitely not poor in terms of numbers. But it is definitely not rich for a mayor. She felt a little distressed and counted out two golden lei and placed them in Melina's outstretched palm.
Confirm the weight, feel the temperature, taste the precipitation from the golden brilliance...
So beautiful.
Jinley!
Melina imitated Sonia in her heart and made the sound of boiling water. She calmly withdrew her hand, and while Georgia lowered her head to put her wallet back, she quickly swallowed Jinleyi into her stomach. Banshees are generally divided into seven categories and sub-species of the Seven Deadly Sins. Melina's main one is all seven sins, but she is mainly a greedy one, with the ability to store gold and gems in her stomach.
Equivalent to a private portable bank, the floating annual interest rate is as high as 3.75 - it's true, the specially constructed greedy magic factor allows Melina to 'create gold lei' when the time is up.
"Townshipers, please go in and arrange your residence immediately. The collectors will go first. Arrangement...well, arrangement..." The mayor of the town put the loudspeaker under his arm, took out a small notebook from his thick clothes, and took a look. "Place the mummy dust sigil! Place the torches according to the trees at the entrance, fourth, and center, and then sprinkle the powder prepared yesterday evenly into the torches!"
The mummy dust sigil is called the mummy cat soul sigil to be precise. The effect is to summon six spiritual mummy cats. They will patrol all the time and drive away some weak wolves, dogs, thorn hedgehogs, sea urchin slimes and other monsters that are lethal to ordinary people. At the same time, they can also follow the clockwork. Cat dumplings communicate…
Wealthier towns will build banshee buildings specifically to accomplish the same effect.
But Liangpu Town is poor, so just use it casually.
This is also Melina's advice to the town mayor.
Seeing that she had used them all, Melina, as a qualified alchemist and mystic scholar, had to remind her to provide some after-sales service.
"Remember, dust is replenished on the last day of every week. When the sky passes over the red chinchilla star, add 50% more. When the sky passes over the white chinchilla star, add 30% more. When the sky passes over the black chinchilla star, add double the amount. If there is no Totoro star crossing, just replenish it normally."
The town mayor took out his notebook and wrote everything down.
The Totoro Star is a special constellation. One star may appear in every area on weekend nights, symbolizing [Dancer, Dominance and Authority]. Although the secondary criteria are the same as the Stag Star, the Totoro Star is special. It is a star that changes color.
In the white face form, it is greedy, in the red and warm form, it is furious, and in the black cat form, it is 'you coax me'.
It is a very troublesome star, but in exchange, when such troublesome stars appear, the production of all sigils carrying the [cat affix] will become smoother, and special effects will occasionally be triggered, and crops growing in the wild will have a certain probability. It will turn into a [Cat Transformed Plant], which is the main ingredient for a potion that enhances dodge and movement abilities that new explorers can rarely obtain in the early stage.
At the same time, Clockwork Cat will also have a booze festival on this day, which is a rare opportunity to pry out gold lei from the hands of stingy cats.
"I have benefited a lot from your knowledge. Can I treat you to a meal? To express my gratitude, and... I hope to learn more from you."
Georgia put away her notebook with satisfaction, her big golden eyes shining.
"Of course, Senior Georgia."
Melina hid her face under the umbrella, in order to avoid being seen by the other party with the "I am not happy" expression of the expensive cat. But then I thought that I could have a free meal, and my mood turned from negative to positive in half a second!
