Chapter 8 Initial Investigation of Another World
"Oh, brother, you are here to buy vegetables today." Linnas threw the hammer in his hand, looking at Li Ke carrying an exquisite vegetable basket, and couldn't help laughing heartily.
"Ah, yes, Cialia said she wanted to bake sweet cakes, so today I came out to buy groceries."
Li Ke carried the basket with a helpless expression.
Because Cialia is too popular, the vegetables nearby sellers who are suitable for marriage are really rude to Li Ke, especially those who sell meat and fish, who have a lot of resentment towards Li Ke. So without Cialia's company, he is very reluctant to buy vegetables by himself.
"Selia's baked sweet cakes are something I miss. You are really lucky... By the way, you go buy vegetables first. Come here after buying vegetables. I have something to look for you."
After an envious expression appeared on his face, Linnas touched his chin, looked at Li Ke carefully, then put the hammer in his hand on the table beside him, and then began to flirt with something from his box.
"Okay, Uncle Linus."
Although it was strange that Linus had something to do with him, lunch was still more important at present. So after Li Ke agreed, he walked towards the market with a basket of vegetables.
The Alvin defense line was originally a place created by the empire and other problems, but in this precious peace time, the Alvin defense line gradually flourished. However, after the elves broke up, the Grand Forest fire, and the empire did not move for a long time, this prosperous place gradually declined, and most of the merchants and residents moved away and turned into a peaceful town.
Of course, because there are a large number of low-level monsters in the Forest of Gran, there are still many fledgling adventurers staying here. The market here is naturally preserved.
But now that the empire is about to digest the war dividends of the Night Elf Empire and is about to turn into the driving force of war, it is hard to say how long this peaceful town can be calm.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Li Ke for the time being, because he is selecting vegetables and fruits in the market.
"Have you not moved out of Ceria yet?"
But there are always people who have good things, for example, this fish seller, after seeing Li Ke coming to the market with a basket of vegetables, his expectant expression immediately turned into an unhappy look.
"Yes, because the injury has not healed yet."
Li Ke waved his right hand, which was still bandaged, and ignored the guy's hostility.
His right arm looked scary, but it was only a slight fracture and dislocation. It was a minor problem under the experienced Linus. In addition, when a passing priest saw that Li Ke's injury was difficult to recover, he took the initiative to take action and treated Li Ke with magic. So in just a few days, Li Ke's right arm could move, and only the joints and fractures were left to recover. It was only Celia's worry that made his bandage wrap until now.
This guy...
Looking at Li Ke with indifferent face, the young man selling fish had a squeaking teeth, but he could not help but pick out the best fish and handed it over to Li Ke, and charged the lowest price. All of this was just because Selia could eat this fish.
"Thank you!"
After buying good things at a low price, Li Ke naturally wanted to thank him, but his happy expression made the fish seller's teeth tighter and tighter.
"You're welcome!"
Saying goodbye to the fish seller who was extremely unhappy in his heart and face, Li Ke came to the vegetable merchant who was also unhappy with him, took out nine copper plates from his pocket, and placed them on the table in front of the boss.
"Boss, please have some vegetables."
Looking at Li Ke's bright smile and thinking about his favorite Cialia, the smile of the vegetable seller also became distorted.
This guy...
After repeating the above process several times, Li Ke finally bought the dishes that Ceria asked for and walked out of this place that made him feel uncomfortable.
His discomfort was not that he cared about the attitudes of those people, after all, he was not as childish as he competed with these young people. It was because half of the people in this small market regarded him as a rival to love...
"Cialia is really popular."
Gladiating Cialis' welcome, Li Ke was thinking about the prices here while gnawing on the melons he bought alone.
The melons here are not as expensive as those in the dungeon, with only a few copper coins. The coins circulating among the civilians are not as exaggerated as gold coins, but some other currencies are circulated in large quantities as the underlying currency. However, there are many differences. Most of the copper coins in Li Ke's hand are issued by the Principal of Belmar, but some are coins issued by the empire, and the exchange rate between the two is about one to four, and the ratio of copper coins to gold coins is about 20. There is a very strange conversion unit.
In other words, a melon that players can only buy at the auction house with 200 gold coins or dozens of gold coins in the game, but only needs a copper coin in this market. That is to say, a melon that players buy in the game can buy about a few thousand here.
Of course, the specific number depends on whether the big merchants in various regions are stocking up and controlling the market.
"In this way, the 30 gold coins Linus gave me were really a lot, enough for me to live for a while after leaving Ceria, and it was because I didn't collect spoils from the Taurus, which led to lower returns."
While walking back, Li Ke thought about what he needed to pay attention to in his future life.
There are many places to be used on the Taurens. Their horns are very good materials and their tails have good medicinal effects, which are used to deal with dizziness and other diseases. However, Li Ke did not collect these, so his income was only thirty gold coins on the reward list.
Of course, when Linus told Li Ke this, he secretly told Li Ke that there was a super-negative thing on the Tauren, and countless nobles and merchants favored that thing very much.
Then Li Ke recalled it and was sure that the super valuable thing was kicked and destroyed by himself...
"So, the best way to get rich is to take risks and get spoiled from those monsters, who are penniless and unknown?
Li Ke summarized the information he had collected during this period and sighed in despair.
As for working? Sorry, it is impossible to work when working, that is, killing monsters to maintain a life. Not to mention that wherever he can work, he treats him as his rival.
Moreover, I have already traveled here, so it would be a waste of opportunity to work from 9 to 5.
"So you still have to find a way to become stronger."
