Because of the deeper understanding of nature, the exploration of unfamiliar situations makes them pay more attention. Even if the advance arrangements are delayed, the investigation must be done well.

On the way into the town, Wu Feng secretly thought to himself: "To explore the situation of a certain place, it should include the natural conditions, cultural scenes, and economic conditions, specifically the natural conditions, such as terrain, topography, climate, water and soil, etc., and the cultural scenes should be local customs, common character, etc. The economic situation is mainly evaluated by factors such as supply and demand of materials, price level, etc., and ......"

"This small town on the edge of the desert may not be representative of the Southern Regions, and it will also condense some situations. The scope of the town is small, and the exploration of natural conditions is basically dispensable, and there is no practical significance. And the town is a transit station, mainly controlled by the Sword Sect, and the exploration of customs and customs has no obvious effect. ”

"If I want to explore this town, it mainly depends on the economic situation!" Wu Feng thought to himself. In fact, to explore the situation somewhere, according to Wu Feng's thoughts, it should be very carefully investigated, and the relevant characteristics should be deliberately understood.

According to Wu Feng's past, when he first arrived somewhere, he mainly explored the cultivation level, the mainstream cultivation realm, and the price level.

The information thus probed is the most direct and useful information, which can ensure the survival of people in strange places. In combination with natural, humanistic, economic and other information, the vision must be a higher level and higher than the requirements for survival......

Of course, how high a single time can be depends on the specific mood, mind, vision, ambition and other factors.

Wu Feng's current, although there are some realizations, but these realizations are still very hazy. Even if it is not obvious in itself, it is necessary and intuitive. The purpose of obtaining all kinds of relevant information is not so clear.

The cultivation level of the town has been explored outside the town, and the price level has to be explored in the shops.

When Wu Feng entered the town, he didn't pay attention to the people of the Sword Sect. Before, outside the town, I saw the people of the Sword Sect, and went directly to an inn, and there was no need to explore for a short time.

Wu Feng walked directly into a shop, which was one of the largest in the town, and it was also a comprehensive shop. The items in the lobby are basically clearly priced, and there is no need to ask anyone.

"Huh, that's a lot of money, huh?" Comparing the marked price, Wu Feng was very surprised.

Wu Feng will cultivate, hide in the Lingwu Realm, and take the items of the Lingwu Realm. Of course, the items in the Diyuan Realm are high-end things in the town, and they will not be placed casually in the lobby.

And these items in the Spirit Martial Realm are obviously two percent higher than those in the Southern Regions. Even some non-local materials are three or four percent higher. Supplies directly from the Flame Spirit Desert. I haven't seen it in this shop, and it is estimated that there is no market for it, after all, this small town on the edge of the desert mainly provides supplies and buys materials in the desert at the same time.

People who come and go to the town, except for some businesses. Basically, you will venture into the desert. In such a town, it is normal for desert supplies to have no market.

However, the ordinary is two percent higher, and the scarce is three or four percent higher, such a price level. It was very surprising to Wu Feng.

Wu Feng didn't ask directly, but listened carefully to the onlookers and bargained for the purchase of materials. I saw a person at the peak of the Lingwu Realm, whose clothes did not have the mark of the sect, bought a large amount of water and wood attribute healing pills, and originally wanted to rely on the purchase volume to ask the merchant for a lower price.

However, regardless of the purchase volume, the person in charge of the merchant did not have the slightest intention of backing down and insisted on buying according to the marked price. Looking at the price tag of these pills, because water and wood spirit herbs are relatively scarce materials in the southern region, the edge of the desert is even more scarce, and the price of these pills is generally three or four percent higher than that in the northern region.

"The price of non-local supplies is already extremely high. The purchase volume is large, and the price cannot be reduced, which shows that the material is in short supply, even if it is introduced from outside, it is also impossible to change the shortage situation. Wu Feng thought to himself.

Some common goods, although scarce locally, are very common outside, and the price is very low, even if they are brought in from outside, the price is not too high.

And the price has been very high, it shows the scarcity of materials, even if it can't explain this kind of materials, the outside is also very scarce, at least it proves that the local, even if the introduction of materials from other places, the local supply corresponds to the demand, it is also very scarce.

Of course, people who go into the desert to explore are susceptible to desert fire poisoning, and they need water and wood spirit healing pills, which are not aimed at cultivation attributes, so the demand is greater, which may also be a factor of high price.

Wu Feng compared several pills and analyzed the spiritual herbs needed, which were not too scarce in the Northern Regions, and if they could maintain normal circulation, the price should not be too high. Wu Feng guessed that it might be that the merchants in this town deliberately raised the price in response to the need to enter the desert.

At this moment, the person who bought the pill bargained: "We need a lot of pills, and we are currently lacking in funds, can we lower the price a little? If this deal is reached, we will venture into the desert and sell all the materials we bring out to your shop." ”

"You should know that the price of our pills is basically the same as that of the Southern Regions. The amount of pills you need is large, it can be seen that the scale of the adventure team is large, and it must be people who have seen the world, you should understand that the price of this pill is not that we deliberately raise the price, but that it must be this price, and our shop also needs to operate!" The person in charge of negotiating the transaction patiently explained.

The person who bought the pill and bargained was full of helplessness when he heard the words. Hearing the words of the two and seeing the expressions of the two, Wu Feng vetoed the previous idea, this shop should not have deliberately raised the price, at most some freight will be added.

If there is a deliberate price increase, the person who buys the pill will inevitably refute it with confidence, rather than being full of helplessness, and it is more like begging when bargaining.

In response to this situation, Wu Feng's understanding deepened again, but Wu Feng didn't say anything, the Southern Regions have always been more xenophobic, Wu Feng didn't directly probe, so he didn't want to expose his identity as an outsider, and tried to obtain information through observation.

After discussion, those who buy the pill can only reduce the amount of pill and buy it according to their own funds. Seeing that the deal was reached and the person who bought the pill left, Wu Feng didn't have the idea of exploring, turned around and walked out of this shop and went to the rest of the shops.

Large shops, small shops, comprehensive shops, and single shops, Wu Feng has basically visited once seriously, but the situation found out is more consistent with the original shop.

The prices of all kinds of materials are generally 20 percent higher, and the prices of certain scarce materials and materials imported from other places are 3 or 40 percent higher.

At the same time, Wu Feng found that these shops were basically opened by locals in the Southern Regions, which once again showed the xenophobic thinking of the Southern Regions.

The situation in the town is very simple, it is easy to figure out, Wu Feng has a lot of ideas, and even more sighs, but just like a passerby, he is just probing, and there are no other ideas.

It is not said that it is the ability to change, and the responsibilities and obligations that have not changed, and the root causes of all kinds of situations in a region, whether good or bad, are all in their local area.

The town lost its value of exploration, so Wu Feng naturally did not stay for long, and soon set out on the road alone, heading south deep into the Southern Regions.

Wu Feng didn't control the spirit beast, let alone find a horse beast to walk, he walked all the way to appreciate the natural scenery, explore various natural conditions, and the unique materials of the Southern Regions.

After a long period of time, Wu Feng passed through three small towns and finally came to a big city.

The three small towns on the way, perhaps due to the factors of demand, the prices are slightly lower than those in Huangsha Town. But this low range is very small, basically the difference in freight, which shows that the shops in Huangsha Town did not deliberately raise prices, but also showed the price level in the southern region.

Going to the first city in the Southern Regions, Wu Feng was still full of all kinds of ideas, after all, the situation between the city and the town would be different after all.

However, when you actually enter the city, such an idea is quickly shattered, the interior of the city is very dilapidated, there is no prosperity of the city, and the prices in the shops are comparable to those previously explored.

In this city, Wu Feng encountered another interesting thing, wandering in the streets, only to see some people speeding up to a certain place, so he stopped a person and asked: "Big brother, where are you going to go in a hurry?"

"Of course I'm going to watch the battle!" The gambling platform in the city, there is a gambling battle of the three heroes of the mad sword today......" The person who was questioned naturally said the situation, and then looked at Wu Feng with a little vigilance, and asked: "Could it be that you are from out of town?"

"Yes, the younger brother and grandfather are cultivating in the mountains, and they rarely come into this city!" Wu Feng did not deny the identity of an outsider, but he answered very well when he said that he was cultivating in the mountains. Admit that you are an outsider, but this outsider has a limit, and first of all, it excludes the situation outside the Southern Territory.

And the cultivation in the mountains may be in the mountains near this city, which also belongs to the territory of this city.

In fact, Wu Feng didn't want to expose his foreign identity, first of all, to avoid trouble. And this special answer, mainly to find out the news, after indifferently answering, he asked: "What's going on with this gambling war, it looks very lively?"

Sure enough, because of Wu Feng's clever answer, the person who was still vigilant before quickly dispelled his doubts and replied: "We are short of materials in the Southern Regions, and the competition for materials is very fierce, and this gambling war is a way to compete. ”

"The two sides of the gambling battle, take out the same amount of equivalent materials, and then go to the gambling table to fight, and the winner gets the material ...... for the two"

"Gambling war, material competition ......" Wu Feng heard this, his heart was very touched, and he once again thought of the strange battle between the disciples of the Sword Sect and the disciples of the Lieyang Sect in the desert because of the competition for materials.

Immediately thought of himself, since entering the Southern Regions, he has investigated the prices of shop transactions, inquired about the material situation in the Southern Regions, and secretly sighed: "The closure, conservatism and xenophobia of the Southern Regions have turned this Southern Regions into a bitter place!"

"The land of bitter flames", Wu Feng came up with this word, a very unique word, there has always been a saying of the bitter cold land, referring to the cold area where there is no grass and materials are poor.

However, too hot areas can also lead to a lack of supplies.

Of course, whether it is bitter cold or bitter heat, in terms of cultivation materials, the specific situation of poverty is that the materials are too simple, not completely poor.

And the situation in the Southern Regions can indeed be called a bitter place, so the competition for materials is fierce...... (To be continued......)
