Chapter 748 Characteristics of Strangers
"Brother, look at that man, how come he took the goods without paying or signing a contract? The stall owner even gave him gold coins?"
At this time, Fiona pulled a corner of Avis's cloak in surprise, and whispered to a stall on the street.
It was a stall set up by a dwarf player, on which were placed all kinds of finished products such as weapons and armor shining with cold light.
It was obvious that he was a life player. These were weapons made of magic metals excavated from the snowy mountains, and they were basically ice attributes.
Avis took a rough look and distinguished low- and medium-level magic metals such as cold iron and ice-patterned steel.
And when Avis looked over following Fiona's gesture, a transaction had already ended. An orc player wearing heavy armor like a barrel and an upturned steel helmet was carrying a cold iron giant sword surrounded by frost and leaving.
And the stall owner was full of joy, as if he had made a lot of gains.
"Don't worry, those strangers have a special way of trading, which they call 'cash trading'. It is to pay the price with an invisible special currency that only circulates among strangers."
After glancing at the panel of the stall owner player, Avis immediately understood the transaction process just now.
Not everyone has abundant gold coins. In fact, most players' wallets are always in a bottomless pit. At this time, cash trading naturally came into being.
The player was short of money, but he liked the excellent heavy sword, so he spent 1,000 yuan online to buy the [Cold Iron Heavy Sword +2] and 150 gold coins from the stall owner.
For this kind of transaction behavior, the game official neither encourages nor opposes it, but only reminds players to pay attention to the transaction risks.
After all, there are many strange skills in the game, and you may be fooled by profiteers if you are not careful.
"Cash transaction? I don't feel any change."
After a careful detection, Fiona finally gave up looking for the existence of 'cash' and attributed it to the special abilities of strangers.
"But if we can't find the currency of these foreigners, then if they sell things that don't belong to them in this way and run away, then others can't do anything to them. Even if they catch him, they can't recover the loss?"
"Yes, this is also one of the abilities of foreigners, so as a lord, you need to pay attention to this. Don't rashly hand over the purchase funds of bulk items to foreigners."
Anvis nodded slightly in approval of Fiona's sharpness, and took the opportunity to teach the girl to avoid risks in advance. With the integrity of the players, if they really get enough public funds, they will definitely run away with the money.
As he spoke, Anvis suddenly noticed that several waves of detection nature swept by.
"Here we go again, these foreigners are so rude."
Fiona couldn't help but wrinkled her white little nose, and looked at the source of the detection wave with a little dissatisfaction.
There were several players gathered over there. When Fiona turned her head, several players were startled and then scattered.
When detecting aboriginals with a large level difference, it is possible that they will be noticed by the other party. Some aboriginals have no tolerance for the "offense" of these low-level foreigners. There are often tragic cases in the game forum where players use detection and are hunted down and killed by aboriginals.
But it is a pity to leave such a useful skill like detection unused. As the "game" progresses to the present, players have summarized a relatively safe way to use detection.
First, before using detection, use "perception" first.
This skill can judge the approximate level of the other party through the external breath of the aboriginals, which is a super weakened version of detection.
If the feedback is "? ? ? ", it means that the level difference of the other party is too large, and it will be dangerous to use detection.
The second is the place of use. It is safer to use detection in the city. Generally, offensive behavior is prohibited in the city, and the attitude of the aboriginals is also kind. But if you use detection on aboriginals casually in the wild, it is likely that the other party will directly become hostile.
The players also saw that the clothes of Avis and the others did not look like those of strong men, so they detected them, but they did not expect to hit a snag.
"Don't worry too much, foreigners are more or less abnormal."
With a slight smile, Avis did not pay too much attention to this episode, but took Fiona directly to the core area of the city, the headquarters of the White Light Club.
In addition to inspecting the city this time, he also planned to meet the head of the White Light Club, and in the name of Fiona, help them connect with the fourth princess Osvia.
As a person who is willing to lend a helping hand to Fiona at a critical moment, the four princesses are all allies they can win when the battle for the kingship is not settled.
And the existence of players can often play a miraculous effect at critical moments.
Of course, since they are still hiding their identities, Avis has arranged for the clone who returned to Pamir Academy to send a letter to the fourth princess.
It means that he helped those foreigners to establish contact with her according to Fiona's request before she disappeared.

….….
“An NPC I haven’t seen before. Judging from their attire, they seem to be travelers.”
“Detection skills show that they are three professionals in their 40s. Their specific professions are unknown, but judging from their mana, they are probably spellcasters.”
“Just now, that person suddenly turned around. I thought my detection was discovered. I was shocked. It turned out to be just a coincidence.”
"No, it could be that the NPC has some special perception treasure, or a passive perception skill."
After escaping to a place where they felt safe, several players started to discuss.
The abnormal reaction of Avis and Fiona to the detection attracted the attention of several players.
Since the detection can show specific information, it means that the opponent's level is not enough to detect the detection.
Either it is just a coincidence, or the opponent has some extraordinary qualities.
"What should we do? According to the news on the forum, the Empire will soon go into full-scale war. Those clubs are recycling all kinds of special equipment to prepare for the establishment of an army.
Perception equipment and skills are necessities, and the prices have almost doubled by six or seven times now."
"Those three NPCs may have hidden tasks. Seeing how they hide their heads and show their tails, there is probably something shady about them. Maybe they are spies of the hostile forces."
"But they should be three level 40 elite monsters, and we may not be able to defeat them by force. We can follow them first and see if we can trigger any tasks.
After getting the tasks, we can report to the city guards. If they are really not legitimate, they will definitely resist, and we can take the opportunity to make up for them, and we can also ask the city guards for a reward afterwards."
The discussion was finalized, and several players went to execute the plan with full confidence.
