Chapter 35: Touching the Prize
After leaving the Jiutong grocery store, Ruoshui decided to go to the auction house first to withdraw the gold he had obtained from the previous auctions, and buy a house in Jinling City as his base, after all, it is very troublesome to run around the world with too many things. And because Ruoshui is lucky, most of these miscellaneous things on his body are expensive, if he doesn't find a place to put them away, in case he hangs up a handful of things one day, he won't be distressed to death.
The various materials and drawings that I had hit before were sold for a total of nearly six hundred taels, plus the remaining more than one hundred taels at hand, Ruoshui estimated that it would definitely be enough to buy an ordinary house in Jinling.
The house in the game is not as expensive as the player previously thought, because it is all virtual, and the game company can use computer technology to make a house that looks no more than five square meters from the outside to put a duplex mansion of 400 square meters, even if it is a high-end house such as a super sea view villa, it does not need to take up too much space. So some people joke that in the avenue, there are only unexpected houses, and there are no houses that cannot be lived in.
Therefore, the house in the game is regarded by most people as a bank warehouse and a temporary return point, and the price is quite cheap, as long as you grit your toothbrush for a few days, drop materials and equipment for the money is enough to buy a house with a warehouse and a return point.
Of course, the house you want to buy is slightly more expensive, in addition to the warehouse and return point functions, Ruoshui also wants the house to come with an auction function, and the warehouse should be super large, and the living environment should not be too inferior. It's a pity that the house with its own resurrection point is too rebellious because of its function, so the price is as high as 5,000 taels of gold, which is really unaffordable, otherwise Ruoshui still wants to buy a house with a resurrection point, so that it will be more reassuring when going out to fight monsters.
In the real estate center of Jinling Mansion, Ruoshui finally found a property that he was satisfied with from more than 1,000 houses, and spent 600 gold to buy a house located on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
Six dynasties of gold powder, ten miles of Qinhuai River. Of course, in the game, the Qinhuai River cannot still be the land of wind and moon in ancient times. However, the beautiful scenery and special settings in the game still make the area around the Qinhuai River the most popular area in the hearts of Jinling players.
The reason for this is also very simple, in addition to having the characteristics of a scenic area at the same time, there are also a large number of NPC residents living near the Qinhuai River, which can trigger a large number of random quests to get a lot of strange quest rewards. Someone on the forum once posted that he had obtained a piece of ghost jade that could slightly increase the amount of evil fruits obtained by doing a task here, and it was taken away by a demon path player at a high price of 800 gold, and someone in the reply post also mentioned that he had obtained precious materials worth thousands of gold in this mission area. However, more people only get some good-looking decorative equipment or funny props. Therefore, the Qinhuai River in Jinling is also known as the prize area, which is a place where many casual players and some people who temporarily rest here often linger.
Ruoshui looked at the house inside and out with satisfaction, and found that it felt really good to have a home. Put most of the valuable things on your body into the warehouse, and set up a return point, as long as you use the deed in a safe state, you can safely return to this house, which is faster than any sword light escape method.
Open the auction house that came with the house, Ruoshui found that it was actually a smiling blue-faced imp to replace the system auctioneer to serve himself, and secretly scolded the system designer for spoofing, Ruoshui searched for the fragments of Gengjin, and found that there were no pages he needed, and he looked for materials to upgrade the flying sword, which were all rubbish, and the prices were outrageously high. Ruoshui's heart moved, and he hung up the refined fire copper, and only set a starting price, but no upper limit.
"I want to see if there is a future for this materials business." Ruoshui thought secretly.
The things that need to be done have been done.,Look at the time.,There's still a while before going offline at the same time.,There's not enough time to fight monsters and level up.,Or?,Try your luck?
Touch the prize, touch the prize!
There are many shops on both sides of the Qinhuai River, but this is all opened by the system, without the participation of players, and these shops are actually task trigger points, and they do not sell anything rare. Ruoshui casually looked at a few and didn't find anything abnormal.
Turning the corner of the street, there was an old man sitting under the weeping willows by the water, with a chess apron and a pair of ink-colored chess boxes beside him, and the chess apron was full of black and white chess pieces, with a solemn expression, looking immersed in the changes of the chess game. A few people were watching, but there was no player.
When I got closer, it turned out that this person was playing chess but had no opponent, just a person playing chess and muttering a few words to himself from time to time. Ruoshui didn't hear what he said, but he looked at this chess game, but it was a little familiar.
"yes, isn't this the golden score I saw when I was flipping through the newspaper supplement a few days ago? It turns out that there are also in the game? Ruoshui said in his heart. The newspaper of that day published this game of chess, called Qianjin Spectrum, the legend is that in the Ming Dynasty, a celebrity and a country shepherd boy played chess, the celebrity held the black and defeated, the shepherd boy took the sunspot and played dozens of times, but the defeat turned into a victory. The celebrity sighed and said that this game could be worth a thousand gold, and gave it to the shepherd boy with a thousand gold, so this game of chess got its name.
Because I thought this story was very interesting, Ruoshui also paid special attention to the chess game at that time, although I didn't know much about Go, but the basic footwork was still memorized, but I didn't expect to encounter it again in the game.
"The sunspot is constantly interrupted, he wants to be connected, he is in a dilemma, why not throw himself in the towel?" Ruoshui said to the old man while snickering with joy. These words were learned from the introduction of the newspaper, and I don't know if they are nonsense. But looking at the deep regret on the man's face, he must have said something that was quite in line with the old man's current thoughts.
"I don't know that the sunspot has no way to live, but when my teacher taught this score, he said that if there is a successful chess player, this sunspot may not have the power to turn defeat into victory. It's a pity that I studied this score all my life, but I haven't found a wonderful way to bring the dead back to life, since today's little friend sees the momentum of the sunspot, I don't know if I am willing to play a game with the old decay, or can solve my doubts, the old decay has its own thin gift. "The old man didn't raise his head, but instead commanded an army, the implication is that if the water doesn't see the way of life of the sunspot, he naturally has no ability, but he is shouting here, the old man wants to teach you a lesson today, a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky.
"I don't know who's picking up who!" Although he is not very proficient in Go, if Shui has the correct answer in hand, how can he be afraid of a computer program. Besides, since the system has arranged this game, it is natural to restore that story, and of course it will not improve the old man's chess strength and change the chess path to make it difficult for the player. didn't shirk at the moment, sat on the ground, took the sunspot, and laid a son on the right side of Tianyuan.
The old man had studied this chess game all his life, and he had never seen Ruoshui's way of playing, so he immediately laughed and said: "This white dragon is already invincible, and the little friend is here to fall, isn't it a wasteful son?" Maybe Xiaoyou's tricks are exquisite, and the old man can't see it, so he has to be ugly. ”
Ruoshui smiled and said, "It's okay, you just have to take care of it." But in his heart, he scoffed at the old man's words.
The task of touching the prize area is ever-changing, and the old man and the chess game in front of Ruoshui are naturally one of the tasks, but Ruoshui is lucky, he has seen the same chess game, if he changes to other players who are proficient in Go, but do not know this chess game, he is afraid that it will be difficult to pass after a few days of effort.
The beauty of this golden spectrum is that the winner first holds the white son, and then holds the black seed, but the white son leaves a gap that is extremely difficult to see in the strongest place of the white dragon, if the black son dares to smash the yellow dragon, and the white son decisive battle in the middle of the game, although it can not be said to win, but it can also be a fight. It's just that Go pays attention to calculation and prudence, and there are few who dare to fight with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, let alone directly fight with the strongest point of the superior enemy, so this game of chess is a fan of the authorities, and few people can see through its key points.
With a "snap", the old man saw that Ruoshui did not show weakness, and naturally he was not polite, and White had the advantage in the situation, and his move was naturally extremely sharp, and a piece of black fell and squeezed a small piece of black to death, making Black's form even more precarious.
The old man was triumphant, but Ruoshui didn't care, let the old man ridicule in every way, but he didn't refute it, just stepped up, anyway, he didn't have to think, he just needed to show the next method in his memory step by step.
Originally, the old man had always had the upper hand, but as soon as dozens of discs fell, Black's move suddenly brightened. Originally, the hinterland of the Central Plains seemed to be the world of Baizi, but at this time, because of a little gap, most of it was forcibly occupied by Kuroko, and Baizi's previous advantage in the corners was also lost because of the echo of Kuroko's central territory. At this time, the situation is already on par with the two sides and the sunspot has a slight upper hand, if the blacks do not make mistakes until the end, then the whites will lose at a glance and a half, and this game of chess has actually been broken.
The old man held a white child in his hand and stretched it in the air for a long time, but he could not fall any longer. After being stunned for a long time, he threw away the chess pieces, and said dejectedly: "The old decay is shallow, Xiaoyou is really very human, this game of chess ...... You win. ”
"Eun, get the reward!"
"The old man has no long things, so these two chess pieces were given to Xiaoyou." The old man put two chess pieces, one black and one white, on Ruoshui's hand, and then flicked the chessboard, and even the people disappeared, bluffing Ruoshui for a moment. "This old guy can't be the legendary peerless master who likes to pretend, right? Be careful next time you really encounter it. ”
The onlookers next to him saw that the old man was gone, and they all gradually dispersed, leaving Ruoshui to look at the two chess pieces in his hand thoughtfully.
Black Jade Chess Piece: A strange object, which can be equipped in the accessory slot to increase the attack power effect by one percent.
White Jade Chess Piece: A strange object, which can be equipped in the accessory slot to increase the knockback effect of attack by 10%.
It's actually two things like this.,Although they're both useless effects.,The increase isn't big.,But if you cooperate with that.,Maybe there will be a miracle effect......
