Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 171 Penglai Tower

The further you go along the path on both sides of Guling Street, the brighter the buildings become.

A dim river flows in the middle of the road, and from time to time you can see some beginners sitting on stools on both sides guarding their fishing rods.

"Took the bait!"

Someone pulled up the fishing rod suddenly, and a yellow croaker as big as a palm flew out.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but stop when he passed by and went closer to take a look. He saw that the yellow croaker looked golden, as if it was plated with gold, and there was a light blue scale on the head of the fish, which was very beautiful.

Xiao Ran remembered seeing it on a roadside sign. It was called yellow bone fish and one was worth one paper money.

The money is not much, but for these fishermen, they can catch at least twenty to thirty fish a day.

This income is also considerable.

Moreover, there are not only yellow croakers in this river, but also some other species, and the prices are even more different.

In addition to fish, there are also other miscellaneous things. Some people have caught cursed objects, and some people have caught corpses.

But these are in the minority.

What you catch more often are boxes that look like eggshells. If you can catch one, you will make a profit. One box can be sold for at least eighty coins.

If you are lucky, you can catch two in a week. If you are unlucky, you can catch one in two weeks.

Of course, there are also many air forces with poor technology.

If the things in this river are so valuable, would anyone use some technology?
This really doesn’t exist.

Although there is no law in the mystery city, there are rules here, and the more prosperous the city, the bigger the rules.

This rule is tacitly accepted by everyone. For example, if you dare to use technology when fishing, someone will come to cause trouble for you immediately.

These rules were set by the Changchun Association and are specifically mentioned in the brochure about Guling Street.

Armed fighting is prohibited in Guling Street. Once a fight is discovered, the three major forces of Changchun Society, Penglai Tower and Donglongfang will join forces to strangle it.

So when it comes to rules, the Changchun Club is undoubtedly the most rule-abiding.

Many beginners do not like Changchun Club because they think it has a lot of messy rules and divides people into different classes. Those who cannot speak Chundian cannot even enter the private rooms.

In comparison, Penglai Tower and Donglongfang are much easier.

There aren’t so many rules and regulations, and the service is provided from a modern perspective.

When Xiao Ran walked into Penglai Tower, he looked up and saw that the big screen was constantly refreshing the market conditions of various spell patterns, and the prices were clearly visible.

Many people below were standing there with their heads raised, copying from small notebooks in their hands.

These people specialize in speculating on curse patterns.

To put it nicely, they are called spell merchants, but to put it bluntly, they are a bunch of scalpers.

They would work together to quickly hoard a key [Rune], then slowly drive up the price, and then sell it off bit by bit.

It is said that many people are controlled by beginners of the "shopkeeper" path.

"The auction on the third floor is about to begin. Those who are interested please move to the third floor quickly."

The sound of the horn in the hall urged many beginners to quickly go to the third floor.

The first floor is the information and money storage hall, the second floor is the trading hall, the third floor is the auction, the fourth floor is the boutique, and the fifth floor is not open to the public. It is said that cursed objects above grade C are only sold on the fifth floor. To go to the fifth floor, you need to deposit more than 3000 ghost coins in Penglai Tower.

Xiao Ran was not in a hurry to go upstairs. He sat on the sofa downstairs and watched the price changes above.

The conditions for advancement for trainees are simple.

It is enough to achieve specialization in one skill, and that is enough for me.

Another condition was that another F-level spell [Book Boy] was required. Xiao Ran glanced around and quickly found this spell.

The price is not cheap, it costs 50 ghost coins.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran turned his gaze to the display screen of the E-level spell pattern.

Find the trainee who has advanced to the level of "Scholar"

As a result, this spell actually costs 200 ghost coins. "Are you crazy? This is just an E-level, is it really so expensive?"

Xiao Ran looked at other E-level spell patterns. Most of them were priced under one hundred yuan, which was relatively reasonable. Some were even cheaper, requiring only a dozen or so coins.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but frowned and looked to the side. After scanning the area, Xiao Ran locked his eyes on a beginner with a simple and honest face, walked up to him, and asked with a smile, "Hello, brother."

The other party was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran with a wary look.

"Brother, I'm new here. I want to know why the Scholar's Path spell is so expensive?"

When the other party heard Xiao Ran's question, he looked Xiao Ran up and down again, and the alert expression on his face eased: "As for the trainee entry, I advise you to give up. If you have money, just buy another E-level profession. The trainee path is notoriously expensive, and most people can't afford it."

"Why? Is it very strong?"

"powerful??"

When the other party heard this, they couldn't help but laugh: "It would be fine if it was strong, but it's not strong, it's even a little weak, and its professional skills are lousy. Its lack of expertise is its specialty."

Seeing Xiao Ran's bewildered face, he could only patiently say, "Let me put it this way. This thing is expensive because it is an essential synthetic spell pattern in other career paths. Some D-level professions need to smash out a D-level [Lucky Man]. Although this spell pattern is not rare, it consumes a lot of energy, so the price is very expensive."

After that, he said with a serious look of an experienced person, "For a newbie like you, don't do this. Use the money to find a better career in the early stage. Once you reach level D and have enough money, consider this option."

"Oh."

Before Xiao Ran could ask anything else, someone on the other side yelled, "Big Head!!"

The man in front of him was startled and quickly turned around. After seeing clearly who was calling him, he didn't care about Xiao Ran anymore and immediately trotted towards him.

"You're being lazy here again, hurry up, the shopkeeper has a lot of things for you to do."

The other party pointed at the man's face and cursed him. The man could only lower his head, not even daring to breathe. Finally, he was kicked by the other party and hurriedly walked back.

As soon as Datou left, the man glanced at Xiao Ran with contempt, turned his head, put his hands behind his back, and left Xiao Ran's sight.

"As expected, honest people are bullied wherever they go."

Xiao Ran sighed in his heart, glanced at the display screen of the E-level spell pattern again, wrote down the price of the E-level spell pattern, then turned around and went straight to the second floor.

"The price of a scholar is 200, which is a bit expensive, but it doesn't put any pressure on me. As for another vacant side job, Xiao Ran decisively chose [Warrior Monk].

As a profession that has the most direct combat power improvement in the early stages, combined with my own sword skills, it is like adding wings to a tiger. "

"The price of the earth ear can be sold for eighty ghost coins. I still have some on hand. Add the three hundred yuan Wu Man gave me, and it's enough!!"

Xiao Ran's mind was jingling with calculations, but when he went upstairs with great anticipation.

When looking at the densely packed crowds of people and the long and winding queue in front of me.

Xiao Ran's head was buzzing.

It seemed as if all the initiates in Bone Spirit Street were crowded in this one hall.

For someone like Xiao Ran who suffers from crowd phobia, this place is like hell.

Even when he was standing at the end of the line, Xiao Ran felt uncomfortable all over. He always felt that someone was looking at him strangely. Even when he saw someone covering their nose, Xiao Ran's face turned red.

Xiao Ran immediately turned around and prepared to leave. He would rather find another way than to stay in such a crowded environment.

However, just as Xiao Ran was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the words "VIP channel" on the side, and his frown immediately relaxed.

Thinking of the crystal card Wu Man gave him, Xiao Ran felt touched instantly.

He immediately ran straight to the VIP channel entrance in front of him.

There was naturally someone guarding the entrance. Seeing Xiao Ran coming over, the two of them immediately focused their eyes on Xiao Ran.

However, Xiao Ran didn't wait for them to speak, and directly took out the crystal card that Wu Man gave him.

Upon seeing this, the two of them immediately stood aside in tacit agreement, making way for Xiao Ran...

　There will be another update in the evening. …………

　　In addition, someone asked me where the occupation comparison table in the list related to that work went. This is feedback from someone who told me that when they saw a bunch of tables, they immediately didn't want to read it. Well... it is indeed not good to just look at a bunch of settings before reading the book. Many people don't know what the situation is after reading the settings, and they will find it boring and stop reading. So I deleted it and will post it in the chapter remarks later.
