Chapter 21: Players Pay Attention to Food
Facing Lu Qing this time, Fang Ze used his persuasive skills again and successfully convinced Lu Qing to stay in their territory.
He also successfully set the prices for the appraised items by Lu Qing.
Now, each item's appraisal price has been standardized to 50 copper coins.
Fly looked at their expanding territory and couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Guang, you really understand this game now."
Fang Ze wasn't concerned about this, "We need to quickly raid the first level of East District Mine, we can't let other teams get the ore before us."
Du Yuan smiled, "I'm not so sure. The monsters in East District Mine are very strong, even we might not be able to defeat them, let alone other teams."
"It's not certain," Zhang Qingyan said. "Don't underestimate other players, they have their own tactics."
"Isn't the method of digging pits to fight monsters something they came up with?"
Because the terrain inside the Tower of Seals could also be destroyed, some players came up with the idea of digging traps.
As long as they could lure the monsters into the traps, they could defeat them without taking any damage, and even do it solo!
However, it was too slow and there was a risk of the monsters not falling into the traps, which could lead to a team wipeout, so it did not become a popular strategy.
Du Yuan thought, "Digging traps requires too much preparation and is a waste of time. I think their turtle shell strategy is better."
The so-called turtle shell strategy was invented by a carpenter who created a round shield that only five people could lift.
That thing looks like a turtle shell or a ball at first glance.
Six players would go inside it at the same time, with each of the five players holding one side and responsible for moving, while the player in the middle attacked outward through the holes with a short knife.
This was also a damage-free strategy, but much more efficient than digging traps.
It greatly tested the coordination of the six players, as without good teamwork, even moving was difficult. That's why players called it the turtle shell strategy.
Fang Ze shook his head, "There are many middle-level demon beasts near the mine, and a few high-level demon beasts. Whether digging holes or using the turtle shell method, it is difficult to be effective."
"It's better for five people to go into battle lightly for more flexibility. This time, let's approach from the side and try to see what's inside the mine."
Brother Watermelon looked at his soul lifespan, "I think we should be more cautious, after all, the Resurrection Coin is not easy to come by..."
Crack!
Du Yuan directly slapped Brother Watermelon's shoulder, "Don't worry, with me here, you won't die!"
Hurry up...
No, driving the watermelon onto the shelf has become a traditional activity in their team.
It can be said that Brother Watermelon's suggestion is not important.
Because he has no authority, almost everyone in the team follows Fang Ze's orders.
"Depart."
。。。
Night falls.
Alone, Lu Qing wandered around outside the Tower of Seals, many players approached him after seeing the forum message.
They spoke to Lu Qing with great respect and were very friendly towards him.
Some even offered food and various items to Lu Qing, hoping to increase their favorability rating with him.
Initially, Lu Qing felt uncomfortable, but as time passed, he began to enjoy this feeling.
In reality, he had never been surrounded by people before, nor had he ever felt this kind of attention from others.
In a brief moment, Lu Qing suddenly felt that reality was the real rubbish game.
"Maybe, being reborn here isn't so bad after all."
Thinking this, Lu Qing saw that the main street leading to the Tower of Seals was full of players selling their wares.
During the daytime, there were very few players setting up stalls here, but as night fell, more and more players began to appear.
This had become an unwritten rule among the players.
Because it was dark outside, and the tower inside was even darker!
So few players dared to enter the tower at night, and those who did would always leave before sunset.
That meant this time period was when most players gathered in the market.
Most players chose to set up stalls at this time.
One player even set up a barbecue stall, shouting, "Beef skewers, fresh off the grill, three copper coins per skewer!"
Many players chose to set up food stalls, and Lu Qing smelled the delicious scent from afar.
Putting other things aside, at least these players really care about the food they eat.
They may have not researched the effects of herbs, but they have thoroughly studied the taste of some herbs.
For example, a certain herb, when dried and grounded into powder, tastes similar to cumin.
Lu Qing couldn't resist and bought a skewer. It must be said that this guy's skills are really excellent.
The beef skewer was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not tough or dry, without a strong fishy smell, and...
It even had a salty taste?
How did he achieve this flavor?
Many players looked at Lu Qing with curiosity, "Do NPCs also eat?"
"Wow, the computer characters actually came to trade with me!"
"The computer characters can eat food made by players!"
"Guide, taste my food, my meat pie is free!"
"I don't need money for this either!"
Seeing players being so welcoming, Lu Qing just smiled, "You don't have to do this, since I will live here in the future, I naturally have to follow the rules here."
"Wow, this computer character is so human-like!"
"Just like real people!"
"Enough, the game designers are awesome!"
I am a real person, after all...
Lu Qing sighed.
Before long, a crowd had gathered around the skewered beef vendor's stall. "Wow, 3 copper coins for one skewer, is your beef made of gold?"
"Let's stick to the facts, my beef is all seasoned with salt!"
"Look, where can you find salt now? This salt is from the first layer of the salt mine, don't you know how expensive salt is these days?!"
"Moreover, the salt from that mine is all coarse salt. We brought back a pound of coarse salt and could only refine out half a pound of fine salt!"
"So, your skewer only has four pieces of meat, how much salt can you use?"
"Why are you being so picky? If you think it's expensive, go check out the vegetable stall next door. One copper coin lets you eat to your heart's content!"
"Yes, yes, come and see, freshly picked wild vegetables today!"
"Grass!"
"Today, why hasn't Brother Immortal come? I was still waiting to buy the Hemostatic Herb."
"Yeah, he's always the first to arrive. Why haven't we seen him today?"
"Don't you know?"
"Know what?"
"Brother Immortal took people to dig graves."
"Oh no!"
"Oh no!"
"Is it a big deal?"
"It's in the game, talking about the game!"
"Oh, I was still wondering, what kind of grudge is this to the point of digging up someone's grave."
"The great Holy Light has returned!"
"Hurry, let's go see what treasures the great Holy Light has today!"
"Let's go!"
Lu Qing was a bit confused when he saw this, "What are they doing?"
The old man selling kebabs was about to get up when he heard Lu Qing's question, he stopped and said, "Oh, nothing."
"It's mainly teams returning from the tower who sell unwanted materials to us players at low prices."
"And Holy Light always gets the most materials each time they venture out, and they also pay the cheapest prices."
"Even before the economy picked up, Holy Light even gave out free food to us when we couldn't afford to eat."
"I was rescued by the Holy Light big shot at that time!"
