Chapter 1 Buying Equipment Even If You Are Bankrupt (1)
At this point in time, the bodies of the neighbor's family of three should have been sent to a nearby cemetery and ready to be buried at dusk.
According to the plot of the original game, Peggy crawled out late at night, so Aske is not in a hurry, since the soul penetrates the body of this foolish NPC (which happens to interrupt the vampire's mental hypnosis of the original owner), of course, he must first cut off all his original social relations, before those vampires find out that something is wrong and find him.
The world's tech tree is quite chaotic and unbalanced, with big cities already having satellites, cell phones, cars, and subways, and remote countryside where they have to fetch their own water from wells. Developed regions already have markets for electronic money and securities exchanges, while backward regions are still using gold, silver, and copper coins and bartering.
Cold weapons and hot weapons coexist, technology and transcendence contend with each other, and this is such a strange and opposing world.
Constantinople, where Asker is located, is one of the most developed cities in the world, so it has all kinds of public facilities.
He took the subway to the neighborhood high school and walked slowly into the classroom where it was his turn to teach today.
The tuition fee of this high school is not cheap, and most of the students are children of middle-class citizens, so the class order is quite good. As soon as the teacher came in, everyone quieted down.
Aske stepped up to the podium, and everyone opened their textbooks and prepared to take notes.
"Everyone closes the textbook, you don't have to take notes today." "Today's assignment is to write an essay on a proposition of your choice about everything you've learned this semester. ”
He glanced at the class and said aloud:
"After choosing a topic, go to the library to collect materials and write a history essay to turn in as this week's homework. In the next few days, everyone studied on their own. ”
The students immediately cheered. Although they don't know how to write papers, self-study is cool! So in the farewell of his classmates, Askersch walked out of the classroom and walked in the direction of the principal's office.
The door to the office was open, and the headmaster could be seen reading the newspaper in a reclining chair. Asker pushed the door in and said bluntly, "Headmaster, I'm resigning." ”
The headmaster looked up and saw that the teacher who had offered to resign was the young master of the Achilles family. Usually, everyone knows that this history teacher is actually a nobleman, and his family is also very rich, and he doesn't want to be a teacher's salary at all, so the principal just nodded, didn't try to keep it, just said:
"Okay, but please work for another week, Mr. Asker, and wait for the school to hire a new history teacher, okay?"
"No need." "I've given students homework for a week, and the next week history class will be self-study, and they'll go to the library to prepare their papers." ”
The principal smiled bitterly: "It seems that you are determined to leave." Well, are you planning to go back to running your family's business? ”
Asker shook his head and smiled, "No." I'm going to sell my shop and set up an expedition to go on an expedition. ”
"Sell?" The principal was shocked.
He knew that the Achilles family had two shops in Constantinople, which alone were worth hundreds of pounds.
The pound here refers to the Solomon pound, which was originally a unit of weight, and later evolved into the largest monetary unit of the Eastern Solomon Empire, and a pound banknote is equivalent to an ancient Suledus gold coin, according to the purchase rate in the previous game, the price of a gold coin is about 10,000 yuan.
By this calculation, Asker is a proper millionaire today, and he is the kind that does not have any loans or debts.
Sell all your assets to form an expedition? This is the same as selling the house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in reality, and then going abroad to become a mercenary, it's crazy.
However, it is taboo to talk about it in a shallow manner, so the principal didn't say much, but asked with a smile: "If you want to sell your shop, I know that there are a few buyers who have a lot of money that may be interested." Are you going to entrust it to an agent or an auction house? ”
"I'm going to sell it to the church." Asker said directly.
The Orthodox Church in Constantinople has always been wealthy, does not lower prices, does not bargain, and sells such things as land in the imperial capital, and basically no other buyers can compete with it. So when the principal heard this, he accepted his thoughts, and could only sigh faintly, and completed the resignation procedures for Asker.
After resigning, the next step is naturally to buy all the equipment and arm yourself.
As an e-sports player + former professional player, Asker is naturally familiar with the strategies of various games in the early stage of speed climbing.
There is a clear and thorough career plan for what weapons to wear, what tasks to take, and there will be absolutely no problems in this regard.
He walked out of the school and went to a nearby armory shop and said:
"I'm going to buy a sword."
"Master Achilles wants to buy a sword?" The shopkeeper recognized this as the young master of the Achilles family, and knew that the other party was very rich, so he wanted to sell the gorgeous ceremonial sword designed for the nobles in the store, which was specially designed for nobles, and said with a smile:
"You have a real eye, we have all kinds of swords in our shop. Recently, I just bought a batch of high-quality goods, which are said to be precious relics of the ancient High Elf Empire, maybe you will be interested......"
"What material?" Asker asked calmly, "If it's made of meteoric iron, magic copper, mythril, adamantite gold, glass, polar ice, blood-streaked steel, chaos rock, and keel, I'll buy them all." ”
The shopkeeper almost knelt down when he heard the names of these materials, and said with a smile: "Master Achilles, how can I have the high-end materials you said in my small shop...... If it's meteorite and magic copper, I might be able to get it from the black market with some effort. Mithril and Adamantite Gold are all under the control of the Imperial Army, and the glass and polar ice are also priceless in the entire continent, so it is impossible for my small shop to have them! ”
"As for the blood-streaked steel, chaos rock, and dragon bones, aren't these the materials for artifacts in legends? In reality, I am afraid that it does not exist at all. ”
"You don't have any of these materials, and you dare to brag about everything?" Aske waved his hand speechlessly, "Forget it, let's take a look at the best materials from your store." Don't fool me with those cut-outs. ”
"Okay." The shopkeeper smiled bitterly in his heart, "We currently have two kinds of long swords in our shop: iron and steel. The highest grade is Damascus moire steel, using the most advanced chrome plating technology of the Holy See, austenitic quenching, the quality is absolutely excellent......"
"What sword types are there?" Asker interrupted the shopkeeper's boasting.
"We have the military-style Spacian cavalry longsword, and we also have the oriental-style Parameen single-edged curved sword." The shopkeeper introduced politely, "Of course, if the young master thinks that these killings are not enough, we also have a hybrid sword imported from the West, the sword spine is very thick, and the end is a counterweight ball, and even a person's neck bone can be easily cut off with a sword......"
"Just a one-edged curved sword, bring me one." Aske said, "Another short sword, the ancient Solomon's Ilibic short sword, the blade of which needs to be sharpened, don't show me an antique that you don't like." ”
"I also need a ring piece of chain mail, with at least three layers of thick linen lining, and a thick silk cotton armor on the outside, no bells and whistles, common dyeing is fine."
"Okay." The shopkeeper hurriedly asked the hired staff to pick up the goods inside, and said with a smile, "Young Master Achilles, are you appreciated by the palace and are you going to be a royal guard?" Yesterday, a Praetorian Guard placed an order in the shop, and it is similar to the equipment you bought today. But he bought an extra mace, which he used to break the armor of heavily armored enemies, you see......"
"No, you don't." Aske said, "If you want to break the armor, it's still a firearm. ”
"That's, that's." The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, saying in his heart how expensive the gun is, a pistol costs at least two or three pounds, and bullets, how can it be convenient and cheap to have a hammer to hit the head.
Soon the hired man picked up the corresponding goods. The shopkeeper waited for Aske to change into chain mail, and then put on cotton armor outside, and the whole person looked heroic.
He hung the dagger from the buckle of the belt around his left waist, and in his right hand he held the single-edged curved sword forged from stainless steel, and swung it casually a few times, the blade of which made a low whistling sound in the air.
"Not bad." Asker was more than satisfied with the sword.
The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, suddenly feeling a little timid for no apparent reason. The action of this guy swinging his sword in front of him reminded him of the several veterans he had received last year, all of whom were murderous people, and just standing in place made him shudder, and he wanted to turn around and run away immediately.
"This, the price of ring chain mail is 5 pounds, the coarse silk cotton armor is counted as 1 pound, and the price of two swords is about 0.3 pounds, as a fraction I will erase it for you." The shopkeeper is cautious.
"Okay." Asker pulled out his money bag and took out a few bills for him.
He turned to leave the shop, and the shopkeeper looked at his back, inexplicably feeling a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.
