Chapter 336: Fate's Favor
It turned out that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and several people were all from Rapids, and about two weeks ago, the weed merchant group arrived from the Silver Dragon Empire in the south.
This time, the merchant group came mainly to Isa City, the capital of the Northern Empire, to do business, because the water and land transportation between Isa City and Waiheke Port was very developed, so the merchant group sent a detachment to Rapids Port to develop trading partners.
Lu Kuan knew that under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for ordinary players to get involved in this kind of official NPC activity - first, there is no friendship, and second, there is no opportunity.
Many people have the same idea, that is, to do business with NPCs, just carry 10,000 gold coins and talk casually, can't it be done?
Not to mention anything else, the merchant group that came from afar must have brought countless rare goods, and even rare treasures, and they could make a lot of money by buying some casually and then selling them.
But in fact, contacting business groups from other countries is far from being as simple as it seems, the water in it is urgent and deep, and if you don't understand the market, you will lose most of your money.
However, most people don't realize this now, the name of the Weed Merchant Group, players may not have heard of it, but the other party came to Rapids Harbor with only a small detachment, and the number of people exceeded 300!
With a little use of his brain, he can imagine the size of the large army of the merchant group in Isa City.
Therefore, there were countless players who were trying to get online with the weed merchant group at that time, and it became one of the hottest activities in Waidai Harbor in those days.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and a few companions were not exempt from vulgarity, carrying all their savings, wanting to try their luck, at that time, Xiaoli was late in line because of real reasons, and when everyone was rushing towards the merchant group's station, Xiaoli had just landed in the game and appeared in the center of Rapids.
Xiaoli thought about it, she couldn't catch up anyway, so she simply went to the moat of Rapids Harbor to fish as usual, and waited for her teammates to come back by the way.
The moat of Waiheke Port is connected to the bay of Hoken to the west, and the turbulent water of the Nushui River is to the east, so there are both marine and river fish here.
And limited by the gate of the moat, the big monsters in the river and the sea can't enter, which is very suitable for players to fish, Xiaoli and her teammates are frequent visitors here.
At that time, Xiaoli chose a more secluded location, and happened to meet a child falling into the water, Xiaoli didn't think about it, so she went down to the river to rescue the child - you know, there are more than 30 levels of aquatic monsters in the water.
"Later, when Xiaoli asked, she learned that the child in an alien costume was a deputy head of the Weed Merchant Group, the grandson of that Starks, who ran out of play, and had an accident,"
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon recounted in as brief a sentence as possible, still with some excitement in his tone.
"Later, when the child was sent back, Starx gave Xiaoli a token of the merchant group to buy goods from them at any time in order to thank Xiaoli, and then we scraped together a few hundred gold coins, and as a result, the merchant group had already left Rapids......"
Lu Kuan knew about the later things, and several people chased the merchant group all the way to the Night Fall Cit - of course, the hardships and difficulties in this process can only be truly experienced by those who have experienced it.
"They didn't go by sea?" Lu Kuan frowned slightly.
"No, I'm weird about this too,"
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon shook his head and said, "It's much faster and safer to get from Isa City by sea...... The only explanation is that maybe this group will not go to Isa City to meet with their large army. ”
Lu Kuan habitually touched the stubble on his chin, and he didn't think so in his heart.
The Weed Guild is very well-known in the game, and it is mainly engaged in mining and real estate.
In the mid-to-late game, several large-scale mines within the Silver Dragon Empire and the Northern Empire are all owned by the Weed Traders, and even the army has to buy ore to make armor and weapons, and sometimes they have to buy iron ore from the Weed Traders.
And the most famous of them is definitely the small scale, but it has attracted the attention of the entire game world, the Coastal Mithril Mine.
It's just that at this time, the Mithril vein is still sleeping quietly underground, and no one has yet discovered it.
For a large-scale organization like the Weeds Merchant Group, which has a long history and is frighteningly powerful, sending a team of several hundred people to make such a long detour must have some purpose.
Lu Kuan thought hard, wanting to recall the information related to the Wild Grass Merchant Group in his previous life.
……
The team soon set off again, and in the quiet of the night, successfully found the main road to the low mountain pass.
Lu Kuan, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Xiaoli, and a few dwarven shield guards said goodbye to the large army here.
"Come on! Good news awaits you! Several players cheered up the elven warrior monk and Lu Kuan.
The two of them waved to each other, then took the reins and marched along the main road towards the north.
I don't know when, two bright moons have risen into the sky, the starry sky is cloudless, and Lu Kuan can already see the scenery a hundred meters away by the moonlight.
Because they had calculated the speed of the weeds merchant group, they must not have arrived here yet, so a few people did not desperately urge the wolf to run wildly, but moved forward at the speed that saved the wolf's physical strength.
The shell followed Lu Kuan closely, holding a shield in his left hand and holding the reins in his right hand, and leaned over and said to Lu Kuan curiously: "Captain, are you really that rich?" ”
"Huh? Why, you're short of money? Lu Kuan said curiously.
"Yes, yes, very lacking!"
Baker nodded again and again, and said busily: "Not only am I lacking, but our rune tribe is also very short of money...... I don't know where to find this cost to rebuild Rune City in the future......
Lu Kuan was happy when he heard it: "I said bearded, you don't want me to invest in your Rune City~"
"Hey, hey, if you're going to invest, I'm fine." Baker scratched his head and laughed sheepishly.
"It's not impossible to invest, but what do I get in return?" Lu Kuan said with a smile.
"You will be honored with the highest honor!"
Baker's expression became reverent, and he said word by word: "Together with Dimi, you will become the guardian totem of our Rune City." ”
Lu Kuan blinked: "And then?" ”
"And then? Then together with Rune City, stand on the cliff of the city forever, let everyone worship~"
“…… No, I still like to keep a low profile,"
Lu Kuan rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Your clan doesn't have any buried secret treasures, gold, legendary weapons, or whatever, I can buy them at a high price for you." ”
Hearing this, Baker immediately shook his head: "It's gone, it's gone, the gang of animals that let Heerneron Fort rob it all in the first place, you have so much money, and you still need these things?" ”
……
Lu Kuan and Baker said a word, Lu Kuan was thinking about finding some treasures from the ruins of Rune City, but Baker was an elm head, and he didn't understand what Lu Kuan meant, and he didn't say anything useful for a long time.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon watched from the side, and found it very interesting, and said to Lu Kuan in the team channel: "Master, do you usually negotiate with NPCs like this?" ”
