Chapter 19: Ready to Dig Graves!
"My profession is a Knower of All, or you can also understand it as an Appraiser, I can identify any item, but I require some reward for it."
Lu Qing pondered for a long time, finally inventing this identity for himself.
Undoubtedly, this was the most suitable identity for him.
Because he had the ability of the Eye of Truth, all item information would directly appear before his eyes.
Therefore, it is fine to say that he is an appraiser.
Moreover, his Eye of Truth has a ranking system.
Lu Qing had tried before, as long as he used the Eye of Truth to identify unknown items, he could gain experience points.
In other words,
As long as he keeps identifying unknown items, he can upgrade the Eye of Truth.
Although he doesn't know what changes will occur after the upgrade, this is currently the only thing he can do.
Upon hearing the word "appraiser," Achieving Immortal was immediately delighted, "That's great! I happen to have a few plants. Could you help me identify what these plants are?"
"Sure," Lu Qing nodded, "But I will need to charge a portion of the assessment fee."
Lu Qing also had a basic understanding of The Sealed Land's situation, where the biggest issue for new players was food and water.
As players progress further in the game, copper coins have become the common trading currency among players.
Some players focused on life skills would make items to sell to combat-focused players in order to earn copper coins.
Over time, a certain area in the game was directly designated as a trading zone by them.
Players can freely set up stalls to sell various goods such as food, weapons, and armor.
Achieving Immortal depended on selling herbs for a living, with Hemostatic Herbs being in high demand in the current version, allowing him to accumulate a considerable amount of wealth.
Although Lu Qing had never played The Sealed Land, he still understood some basic conditions within the game.
He also needs to eat and drink, even though Creation God said he has an Immortal Body, he doesn't want to try it easily.
That's why Lu Qing decided to ask the players for some copper coins as payment, to make sure he wouldn't starve.
In a way, this also counts as helping the players, right?
Achieving Immortal didn't say other words, he took out three kinds of plants from his backpack and placed them in front of Lu Qing.
"Take a look, how much would it cost to identify these three plants?"
Lu Qing stared at the three plants upon hearing this.
Eye of Truth, activate!
[Swallowtail Grass]
Type: Plant
Rank: Excellent.
Description: A plant that looks like a bird's tail, its smell repels mosquitoes. Applying the plant liquid on the body can keep mosquitoes away.
Taking Swallowtail Grass orally can speed up metabolism in living things. One scholar praised its amazing effects and named it Swallowtail Grass.
The swallow symbolizes spring, vitality, and the rebirth of all things.
。。。
Lu Qing picked up the Swallowtail Grass and twirled it twice, "Pay 100 copper coins, and I can identify a plant for you."
Huh?
100 coins?
Achieving Immortal hesitated for a moment, feeling a little reluctant as he looked at the number of copper coins in his backpack.
Although 300 copper coins wouldn't break the bank for him, those were the savings he had set aside to buy land!
Achieving Immortal hesitated for a moment, "I...I don't have that much money. I only have 100 copper coins. Could you lower the price?"
Hearing this, Lu Qing reflected, maybe he was asking for too much?
Achieving Immortal can see the effect of these three herbs, and if Achieving Immortal later sells them, he will definitely earn more than 300 copper coins.
Unless he is a fool, he definitely won't lose money.
However, needing 300 copper coins at once might be a bit too much. Normal players rarely carry around 300 copper coins.
The copper coins here all have weight, carrying too many copper coins really affects players' movements.
Unless they are players without territories, they would choose to carry all their belongings with them.
Like experienced players in the game, they usually own a piece of land or two and don't carry much money with them when they go out.
Lu Qing thought for a moment, "Well, since I'm new here and don't know much about the situation, I'll cut you some slack this time."
Upon hearing this, Achieving Immortal quickly thanked Lu Qing, as getting an advantage from an NPC was not an easy thing to do.
Just like Gravekeeper, who has never offered players discounts when buying land.
Even though those players were crazy about flattering Gravekeeper, holding onto his legs and calling him grandpa didn't work.
Thinking he had taken a big advantage, Achieving Immortal quickly took the money.
Lu Qing also had a backpack, map, and information interface like the players, but only with these three functions.
After taking 100 copper coins, Lu Qing directly grabbed the Swallowtail Grass and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, "This smell, it should be right, this is Swallowtail Grass."
"Attention, the reason it's called Swallowtail Grass is not because it looks like a swallowtail, but because of its medicinal effects."
"Taking Swallowtail Grass orally has the ability to restore vitality, just like the symbolism of swallows for spring and rejuvenation."
"At the same time, its natural smell also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes."
Vitality, restoration...
Achieving Immortal seemed to think of something, "Then isn't this the ingredient for the Healing Potion?!"
"Guide, do you know how to make Healing Potion?"
Healing Potion?
This player has quite an imagination...
Lu Qing shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm an Appraiser, not an Alchemist."
Feeling a bit disappointed, Achieving Immortal said, "Well then, what about the other two plants?"
Lu Qing picked up a plant with light blue color and purple spots, with many leaves and flowers, "Purple Star Orchid, when taken, it can improve eyesight and cleanse the liver, a small amount can nourish the eyes."
"But please remember, Purple Star Orchid itself is highly poisonous, taking a large dose at once can temporarily enhance night vision but the side effect is permanent blindness."
"However, taking a small amount is fine, because this poison will be naturally eliminated from the body through metabolism."
Highly poisonous...
But when taken in excess, it has a temporary night vision effect that nourishes the eyes.
Got it, this is an ingredient for the Night Vision Potion!
As Achieving Immortal listened more, he got more excited. Since he already knew the effects of these two plants, he could now make the Healing Potion and Night Vision Potion!
"What about this last plant?"
Lu Qing picked up the final plant, which was a pale, leafless flower resembling an amaryllis.
"Bone Spirit Flower, where did you find this kind of flower?"
Lu Qing was surprised when he read about this plant because it was extremely rare for it to grow in its described environment.
Achieving Immortal pondered for a moment, "I think it was at the base of the mountains in the southern forest, but I can't quite remember."
This time, Lu Qing didn't smell the plant because its scent was said to be very unique in the description.
It had a smell like ashes.
"This plant is called Bone Spirit Flower, it grows in a very unique environment, usually only blossoming under one condition."
"That condition being a graveyard, where there are lots of buried bones underground, this plant can be seen almost everywhere."
"It doesn't have any special benefits, but it is highly poisonous with a toxin called Withering Death Qi, causing rapid aging if consumed by living beings."
Upon hearing this, Achieving Immortal seemed to realize something, "A graveyard environment, does that mean the area where I collected Bone Spirit Flowers before was all dead people?"
Lu Qing nodded, "Yes, so it's best to stay away..."
"Master, I understand!"
Achieving Immortal immediately opened his communication panel with a wave of his hand, "Brothers, hurry, find some guys who can dig graves, we're getting ready to dig some graves!"
Lu Qing: "???"
。。。
