Chapter 218



218 despicable player (2/3)

Winter city itself was second to none in the northern Alliance.

In his previous life, the major League of high schools that Zhao Xu had been in had been able to develop so well because most of their spawn points were near winter city, and they could rely on the prosperous resources of winter city.

This city also had a very prominent feature, which was that it was very tolerant.

Even the drows who lived underground could find a roof to cover their heads in this city, and would not be expelled because of skin color or faction.

in his previous life, from the moment zhao xu started playing the game until he transmigrated, the main axis of his entire gaming career had been centered around winter city.

No matter how long it took for him to fish and dry his net, he had personally measured every step on this most lively “strolling Street” in winter city.

That was why Zhao Xu felt so close to WinterCity when he saw it again from ten years ago.

he had never thought that he would be teleported to winterday city.

this was the city that zhang qi and his classmates had relied on to survive in the early days.

more importantly, a massive war between players had broken out in the starfall lake, which was less than a day’s journey from the city, within a week.

someone had calculated that at this moment, more than 90% of the players in winter city had paid a lifestone.

it was a matter that originated from the players ‘sense of justice, but it eventually swept through all the districts around winterfell.

“Hey, friend.” Suddenly, Zhao Xu felt someone Pat him lightly on the back.

fortunately, the other party did not use too much force, otherwise, the star cloak’s defensive ability would have been triggered.

“What?” Zhao Xu turned around.

however, he realized that he had to lower his head to see the other party.

it was a halfling rogue wearing a brass-colored inlaid leather armor.

“You called me?” Zhao Xu asked with some doubt.

“That’s right. Let me introduce myself. My name is eleven steps. I see that you’re carrying a huge sickle on your back. Do you want to sell it to me? i’ll buy it back at a high price.”

Zhao Xu looked at the +1 netherworld scythe on his body. It wasn’t small by itself, but it was obvious that the other party had probably taken it as a refined product.

Zhao Xu looked at the sly expression on this player’s face and realized that he had overestimated him. He couldn’t help but laugh out loud. then how much are you going to pay? ”

at this time, the pedestrians on the street were all rubbing shoulders and passing by. even if there were a few curious people looking over, it did not last long.

well, I really like this equipment. I’ll pay four times the market price.

for a moment, zhao xu thought he had heard wrong.

could it be that this halfling’s ancestor was the one who once owned this “magic scythe”?

But as soon as Zhao Xu thought about it, he automatically denied that possibility. How could players have an ancestor?

look, not bad, right? it’s 80 gold coins. The halfling rogue said in a bewitching tone.

it was really dark.

Winterfell was indeed the most free and chaotic place.

zhao xu couldn’t help but laugh out loud when he heard how the halfling was trying to rip off his guest.

“Hmm, it’s better for you to keep your 80 gold coins in your pocket.” zhao xu said as he nodded.

After he said this, Zhao Xu turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd.

when the halfling saw zhao xu leave, he quickly said, ” “Hey, don’t go. Who has more than 100 gold coins in their pockets now?”

But Zhao Xu didn’t care anymore.

When he saw that Zhao Xu really didn’t want to talk to him, the halfling couldn’t help but stomp his feet and think to himself, if I had known this would happen, I would have raised the price to 150 gold coins and broken through your psychological barrier. Sigh, that scythe just now was obviously a refined product.”

looking at the kid’s dazed expression, it doesn’t seem like he knows that the equipment in his hands is actually a refined product worth 300 gold coins. Why didn’t he listen to me? sigh, that’s a difference of nearly 200 gold coins. The halfling couldn’t help but shake his head.

” it’s just a little strange. why doesn’t the sickle even have a shadow under the sun? ”

Suddenly, his eyes revealed an expression of disbelief as he looked forward and muttered to himself,”magic weapon? And it even has a special effect?”

“Other than that person, which player can afford 8000 gold coins?”

———–

zhao xu followed the crowd in front of him all the way to the grocery market.

Winter city’s “grocery market” was a free stall that was temporarily rented. It was divided into a charge-for-money section and a free-for-all section.

in his previous life, when zhao xu was still a level 1 warrior, he was even encouraged by his classmates to come to the grocery market and take part in an armed fight.

After he was arrested by the sheriff, he decided to work hard on leveling for a while in order to win the next time.

In the lower levels, whoever had the tougher fist would be able to convince others with their reasoning.

He saw the players gathered in the corner of the free area, selling some items they had obtained in the wild, such as animal fur and simple handmade weapons.

There were even a few players who had been below the poverty line for a long time, and the thick cloth armor they wore was already full of wounds, even the cotton inside had been turned out.

Zhao Xu had a sympathetic look on his face as he threw down some money and bought a few empty flat glass bottles to be used as containers for future potions.

once a player’s adventure in the wild did not snowball in a positive direction, it was easy for their capital chain to break. then, they would fall into an endless cycle of equipment damage, unable to fight monsters, unable to fight monsters, and unable to repair equipment.

Then, he would turn this monster-fighting game into a work game.

As this was the city where he was born, Zhao Xu naturally knew which Tavern would be the fastest place to get information.

After a while, he walked into a Tavern called ” drunk dream.

even though it was still daytime, the tavern was still bustling with people. some people were holding barrels of wine and toasting desperately.

It was as if he couldn’t vent the unhappiness in his heart if he didn’t drink it.

zhao xu didn’t try to provoke the drunkards, not even the players.

He directly walked to the kitchen and observed it for a while, then he roughly understood.

But Zhao Xu didn’t hesitate for too long. He walked over to the bartender and asked in a low voice, ” “who’s the most up-to-date here?”

It was a pity that winter city’s future boss, who was the most well-informed, would only arrive in winter city three months later. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to deliberately make a roundabout inquiry.

If Zhao Xu wanted to rely on himself to find any traces of the teleport portals around WinterCity, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

That was why he needed to borrow someone else’s hand.

this was also the effect of the great forces.

the bartender just looked at zhao xu with disdain and continued to wipe his glass.

When Zhao Xu saw this, he felt a little embarrassed. He didn’t expect that the bartender he would chat with in the future would also experience such a realistic scene.

Zhao Xu also obediently handed her a silver coin.

only then did the bartender in the white scarf look at him. he said in a low voice, ” that rich lady is upstairs right now. I think you can go up and ask her.

after zhao xu heard this, he didn’t say anything else and just went straight upstairs to his room.

the bartender watched as zhao xu walked up the stairs, and he had a look of pity in his eyes. but he didn’t regret it at all.

he knew that he would have an extra gold coin in his pocket.

That rich lady, Ms. Wolan, was someone Zhao Xu had heard of in his previous life.

the other party had colluded with many of the mine lords in the fallen star lake. from that point on, they held the right to operate the ores from the fallen star lake to winter city.

but later on, there was no trace of the rich lady in winterfell.

zhao xu quickly passed through the two guards in the private room and successfully entered the private room.

“you have something to ask of me?” as an ordinary player, wolland had managed to control the lifelines of countless players with the power of fallen star lake.

“I’d like to ask you to help me gather some information.” zhao xu said, neither haughtily nor humbly.

At this time, the other players who were good friends with Wallen also looked over. ha, Wallen, you’re interested in young fresh meat again? ”

He looked like he was criticizing Zhao Xu.

Did you get too high?

zhao xu felt like there was something wrong with the minds of the people in front of him.

“Yes, I am. can you pay the price?” suddenly, wolland said as he looked at zhao xu’s cloak with interest.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, was a little confused. Those who didn’t know what was going on would think that he had come to some mountain stronghold and met the boss or something.

In just one and a half months, a hierarchy of privileges had been formed among the players?

“what price do you want?” Zhao Xu asked.

“For example, the netherworld scythe on your back? Or the cloak that glowed with light on your body?” wolland said to zhao xu.

“these are not for sale.” Zhao Xu said simply.

Zhao Xu didn’t understand what was going on. He was just here to get some information. Why were there so many things going on? in this day and age, one had to pay for information, but why did it become the other party’s request?

“I didn’t say I was going to buy it.” suddenly, wolland’s cold voice came from behind zhao xu.

The two guards who had been guarding the door turned around and blocked Zhao Xu’s path.

“what is this?” Zhao Xu turned around and looked at Wolan with a confused expression.

he had 13 points of charm, so it didn’t count as a mocking face, right?

He had only met a player on the first day, and he was forced to buy his equipment?

“take it,” Suddenly, Wolland took out a bag full of gold coins from his pocket and threw it on the table.

At first glance, there were close to 1000.

even the players who were chatting with waland couldn’t help but take a few deep breaths when they saw this scene.

they were very clear about the current market price of gold coins to rmb.

1,000 gold coins for his ‘cloak’ and ‘scythe’?

zhao xu almost couldn’t get a clear answer for this.

He also began to feel a little annoyed. It was fine if he met someone who was like this on the upper half of his body, but when he came to inquire about information, he also encountered such a scene.

“you can slowly keep it for yourself to spend.”

Zhao Xu finally understood why this rich Ms. Wolan had suddenly disappeared after the battle of fallen star Lake. She had already accumulated a large amount of wealth, but she still hadn’t been able to continue to snowball and expand her power to cover the entire North.

Relationships are stupid.

“stop him. i’ll give him some of the money.” At this moment, Wolland’s cold voice came from behind.
