Chapter 2783 Aim at the Right Target

The gillweed is a magical plant native to the Mediterranean region. It looks like countless slippery mouse tails entangled together. The surface is covered with mucus. After eating, gills and pimple-shaped growths can grow on both sides of the wizard's face. The fingers and toes make it easier for wizards to move underwater.

The effect of satang fruit is similar to that, except that instead of deforming the wizard to adapt to the water environment, the satang fruit gives the wizard the ability to 'bend water'. After eating, it can create a small waterless environment around the wizard. It has an effect similar to the 'Water Avoidance Technique', but unlike the Water Avoidance Technique, it does not require you to keep twisting the magic trick when using it.

Zheng Qing knew both of the two herbs mentioned by Lao Yao.

But he felt that this reminder was a bit redundant.

Because he visited Quan Ke Lai last year, he had the impression that whether entering the seabed fair from the water or trading in the fair, the ability to breathe underwater was not required. The organizer of the fair opened a bubble-shaped barrier. Create an area filled with moist air on the sea floor, which can meet the needs of both aquatic and land visitors.

There is absolutely no chance for the gill grass to show off its skills.

However, this confidence full of experience and emotion only lasted less than two days, when Zheng Qing heard a slightly bad news from Fatty Xin.

"——What do you mean, the price of gillgrass has tripled in the past week?"

On Tuesday night, Zheng Qing, who was doing a small hand task, heard a certain emotion from the fat wizard when he was reviewing the manuscript. He raised his head in confusion and rubbed his tired eyes: "Don't you need that kind of thing when you go to Quan Ke Lai? "

Although his mind was still a little dazed, he still quickly found the direct reason for the soaring price of gill grass.

"It's really not necessary."

The fat wizard first gave Zheng Qing an affirmative answer, and then tapped the manuscript at hand with his quill: "When the reporter from the school newspaper interviewed and asked, those students who bought gill grass also knew that there was it in the Wei market where Quan Ke came. A barrier to shield the seawater... But they still bought it. Not only were the prices of gill grass soaring, but the prices of these two herbs, which had similar effects, were also much higher than last year. Compared with the same period, the increase was a bit excessive.”

Zheng Qing's expression became slightly more serious.

His eyes glanced at the fat wizard's manuscript, then turned to the fortune teller of the Exoneration Hunting Team: "——Is there any news that we don't know?"

Lao Yao's reminder about the final exam time last weekend was very effective, so in the past two days, Zheng Qing rarely let go of distracting thoughts. He did not care about the seven deadly sins or the cat fruit tree, but focused more on his studies.

This also made him somewhat insensitive to outside news.

Xiao Xiao frowned, concentrating on revising the paper on the elf's transformation, and seemed not to hear the chatter of his companions. Until the fat wizard smashed a paper ball on his head.

"What?" The fortune teller straightened his hair and adjusted his glasses, looking a little unhappy because the paper ball messed up more than just his hair.

Zheng Qing quickly repeated the topic just discussed.

The short wizard picked up his crystal ball from the bed, wiped it casually with his sleeves, shook his head, and said with a bit of contempt: "Why do you need me to divination for such a simple relationship between supply and demand... You should really take an elective course Do arithmetic and divination to train your logical thinking skills. Remember last week’s potion class?”

Jiang Yu's face flashed through Zheng Qing's mind for the first time.

"Li Meng got an earworm?" He subconsciously asked.

As soon as the words came out, he knew he was wrong. Not only Xiao Xiao and the fat wizard showed mocking expressions, but even the fat cat Tuantuan who was napping on the edge of the desk twitched his ears to show that he was speechless.

"You didn't go, why are you pulling your ears!" The boy felt his ears were a little hot, so he picked up the paper ball that Xiao Xiao had thrown away just now and threw it at the fat cat.

Tuantuan squinted his eyes and yawned, showing his fangs.

Zheng Qing's momentum immediately weakened.

After all, when the black gem cat is beaten, he will have a 'personal experience' feeling. There's no need to mess with that fat cat just for a little bit of embarrassment.

It's really not necessary.

"Well, it's jujube lice, right? I remembered it." He laughed, avoiding the fat cat's eyes, and his tone had softened a lot: "——There are worms on the sedge trees in the Baicao Garden, Professor Li He also asked us to help fight insects, haha, how could I forget this? Ha, haha."

His laugh was unconvincing.

Xiao Xiao and Fatty Xin both showed contempt at the same time.

Zheng Qing took a deep breath.

I can't stay in this dormitory. Not only cats bully people, but people bully people too!

This thought flashed through his mind, but his feet remained motionless. He looked at Xiao Xiao with a look of understanding on his face: "So, what you are saying is that there will be no harvest of Satang fruit this year, causing the price to skyrocket, and then affecting the gills with similar effects. The price of bladderwort, right?”

When spraying insecticides on the sagebrush last week, Professor Li reminded the young wizards in the class that these insecticides would cause all the leaves to fall off and no fruit would be produced this year.

This is the thought.

The boy suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart.

The poor harvest of saton fruit this year means that the market supply is insufficient and the price of saton fruit has increased. Such a simple economic principle makes sense immediately, but he was completely unaware of this in that class.

Admittedly, part of the reason is that his current income of more than 700 jade coins per month is no longer worth the little profit from hoarding mangosteen fruits or gill grass. But the more reason is that he really lacks this kind of thinking by analogy.

Some people heard that there was a gold mine in the Yukon, so they would go there to sell jeans and shovels.

Some people would only shake the sieves there.

Fortunately, he was not completely hopeless. Before Xiao Xiao gave a positive answer, he changed the subject: "D&K has a supply contract with the fish tribe in Linzhong Lake, right? I remember that Linzhong Lake also grows sac grass!"

It's a pity that he asked this question a little late.

Xiao Xiao glanced at him in silence. .

"By the time you remember that you still need a small shop for Yuzui, the transfer contract of D&K should have been covered in dust!" He made no secret of his sarcasm towards the store manager.

Then, he wiped the crystal ball with his sleeve and added: "- In addition, the price of sciadipsa is rising not only because of the poor harvest of sciadipsa this year, but also because of our class meeting last week."

"Class meeting?"

"Yes... You can ignore the legendary wizard's reminder, but others won't. Lao Yao clearly said in the class meeting, "Be careful" and "It's okay to prepare a few sciadipsa or sciadipsa"... This kind of news will spread throughout Phuket in the blink of an eye... For many wizards who plan to go to Quankelai, this is more authoritative than any divination on the market!"

"But there is a divination in the market..."

"Another barrier, I know." Xiao Xiao nodded, but shook his head, looking at Zheng Qing meaningfully: "But who told you that the barrier will not suddenly fail or collapse?"
