Chapter 723 Tianshan Snow Lotus
Chen Ming was a little confused by the old man's excitement, and subconsciously looked at the list given by the old man.
There was not much content on the list, just a few lines of words.
Chen Ming quickly finished scanning it, and then his face became quite ugly.
"Which genius took over this order?"
The genius Chen Ming mentioned was naturally ironic.
Because the list clearly stated that Izumo City bought 50,000 Tianshan Snow Lotus at the price of 80 gold coins.
Chen Ming knew about Tianshan Snow Lotus.
This medicinal ingredient was included in the formula of many top medicines in the previous life.
Buying 50,000 plants with 80 gold coins is not a high price, and it can even be said to be a bargain price.
According to the market price that Chen Ming knew in his previous life, the price of 50,000 Tianshan Snow Lotus should be around 120 gold coins. Here it is 40 gold coins cheaper, almost 60% off.
But the problem is...
The Tianshan Snow Lotus is a standard high-grade medicinal material. In a fourth-level main city like Izumo City, the medicinal materials sold in the pharmacy are basically green-grade, and at most you can see some blue-grade ones occasionally...
There is no need for high-grade raw materials like Tianshan Snow Lotus!
And if it were just like this, Izumo City could sell this batch of unused Tianshan Snow Lotus to some neighboring third-level main cities, or second-level main cities.
These main cities can use Tianshan Snow Lotus and can digest the 50,000.
But the problem is that there is an additional agreement attached to this list, that is, this batch of Tianshan Snow Lotus cannot be dumped to third-level and second-level main cities, and can only be purchased by fourth-level main cities, or even worse fifth-level main cities.
Obviously, this agreement was signed for bidding.
They don't want this batch of Tianshan Snow Lotus, which is obviously too low in price, to flow into the market of third-level and second-level main cities that need it.
There must be a secret in this, and Chen Ming doesn't know much about it.
But judging from the contents of this contract, the 50,000 snow lotuses that seemed to be obtained at a bargain price were actually a standard hot potato...
After taking it, it was difficult to find a channel to digest it.
But if it just couldn't be sold and became a backlog of goods, old man Hels wouldn't be so anxious.
The snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains has a shelf life...
Once the deadline is over, the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced, and it will even wither and become completely meaningless withered flowers and plants. Not to mention selling them for money, it is even troublesome to occupy the warehouse.
And now, there are only four days left before the medicinal effect of this batch of snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains expires.
No wonder Izumo City feels anxious.
"Don't mock me, little brother, save me." Hels shook his head helplessly, "We can't afford to offend the person who signed this order. If these 50,000 Tianshan snow lotuses withered in the warehouse and turned into ashes, that person would at most be scolded by his elders at home, and then he would drink three cups of wine in front of everyone..."
"But those of us under him will be miserable."
"From my immediate boss, to me, and then to the group of young men under me... they will all be implicated, alas!"
Chen Ming listened with pity.
Having been in the society for so long in his previous life, he understood the bitterness in the words of the old man Hels.
He has seen many cases where the second generation of the company's related households came in and made drastic changes, and finally they patted their butts and left as if nothing had happened, and the people under them suffered a lot.
But he really couldn't help.
"Old sir, you just stopped me from saying it, but I have to tell you... I'm not actually in the medicinal materials business. My shop sells all kinds of equipment and tools."
"All these transactions are brought to me by selling equipment."
"The medicinal materials you see me selling are actually things that I put on the shelves at random before the equipment arrives in the warehouse in order to keep the shop running normally."
"I'm not lying to you. You can go to my shop and see what I sell."
Hels was silent for several seconds, and seemed a little unwilling, so he asked again: "Is there really no way?"
Chen Ming shook his head, "Old man, I really want to help you, help Izumo City, but my ability is limited, and I really can't help."
"Alas..." Hels sighed and waved his hand, "Forget it, I was a little impatient. This kind of order that is full of traps at first glance can only be signed by that guy with a bad brain."
Hels took the initiative to stand up and shook hands with Chen Ming, "Thank you for your trouble, young man, and come here... Your store is expected to become the sales champion of our Izumo City. If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me."
After saying goodbye to Hels, Chen Ming left here.
After walking out of the hall, Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh.
This kind of shitty thing seems to be not only in reality, but also in the game... Of course, the game here will become a reality in the future.
"Huh... Don't think about it, go to the trading house."
Chen Ming shook his head and went to the trading house.
Open the search panel.
Chen Ming began to look for the skills he wanted.
Skills that can affect his agility points.
After turning a few pages, he found his first target.
[Turtle Shell Technique] (White Level Ordinary)
Required Level: 13
Effect: After use, the player gains a shield of 20% of the maximum health, but will reduce his own agility points by 30%. The shield lasts for 5 seconds. After the shield time is reached or the shield is broken, the player's agility points will be returned.
Introduction: Wearing a tortoise shell, the defense will surge, but the speed will be slow.
…
"Agility for shield... Actually, it is not bad for knights, but the shield can only last for 5 seconds, which is too rubbish. No wonder it is a white ordinary skill."
"But as a general skill, it is natural that the value is not high."
General skills are those that can be learned by any profession.
Compared with professional skills, their values are not too high, so they cannot be sold at a very good price.
Chen Ming looked at the price tag and saw that it was only sold for 500 copper coins, which was only 50 yuan when converted into Chinese currency. He bought it without thinking.
After getting the tortoise shell technique, Chen Ming continued to search.
[Frenzy] (White Level Ordinary)
Required Level: 21
Effect: After activation, it increases the user's strength by 15% and agility by 10%, but the damage received increases by 300%, which can be canceled actively.
Introduction: Only those who don't care about the way back can move forward.
...
"This is not bad either. Although the cost is three times the damage, it can be turned on and off freely. When the Darkless One uses the skill [Flowing Light], I will be killed instantly as long as it hits me. This three times the damage has little effect on me."
Chen Ming spent another three silver coins to buy the skill of Frenzy.
Following that, he saw another skill called [Slippage], which provides 20% agility points, but after activation, there is a chance of falling no matter what you do. This inexplicable skill was only placed at 100 copper coins, and Chen Ming took it without hesitation.
After reading for about ten minutes, Chen Ming bought a total of five skill books that can increase or decrease agility points.
And the amount of agility points affected by these skills is also different.
Chen Ming paid careful attention to their values.
"Five skill books, that's about it."
Finally, Chen Ming opened the column of magic scrolls.
After purchasing three more volumes of magic that could affect agility values, he was fully prepared to challenge the Fallen Wind Demon Tower again.
