The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

When he heard that Dog Brother was willing to pay for it, Kid Brother was overjoyed.

To be honest, the military strategies in this game are not like the skill books in traditional RPG games, which can only be used by one person and disappear after being learned.

This thing exists in physical form, recorded on a roll of animal hide.

Having already mastered the art of war, he had no real use for the animal hide that recorded the "Qingxi Manual," and would rather use it to exchange for some money.

Kid Brother observed Dog Brother's extravagant spending habits, which led him to consider selling his copy of "Qingxi Jue" to Dog Brother.

However, lacking experience in bargaining, he simply countered with, "How much are you prepared to offer?"

Dog Bro chuckled, as if teasing a child, and said, "Since you've come to me, you should definitely give me a quote first, and then we can continue our discussion."

The kid thought for a moment and said, "This 'Qingxi Manual' sells for 100 spirit essences in the mall. You buy spirit essences for 100 yuan each, so if you offer 10,000 yuan, I'll sell it to you."

"Ten thousand dollars? Young man, do you even know what a free market is?"

Dog Brother made an exaggerated expression: "I offered a purchase price of one hundred yuan because there were only a few dozen points of spiritual essence in the market yesterday. Now there are almost two hundred points of spiritual essence in the market. How could it still be this price?"

"So you mean you're only offering five thousand?"

The kid is still too young; his emotions are written all over his face.

Seeing this, Brother Dog didn't rush to bargain, but continued to add: "Currently, I'm the only one in the market who would spend money to buy spiritual essence, so you know, it's actually a buyer's market, and your 'Qingxi Manual' isn't something I urgently need."

I can continue using the Tiger Fiend Technique now without any problems. I can wait until I have more spiritual energy before buying it from the store.

Besides, you're not the only one with a Tier 1 military manual. I can also find that player named "Fat Tiger." His military manual is even broadcast across the entire server; it's definitely better than the "Azure Stream Manual" you have.

After being scolded, the kid even doubted whether his "Qingxi Technique" was really that bad.

But the boy, who was going through a rebellious phase, was mostly unhappy inside, yet he didn't know how to refute it.

"Are you bullying elementary school students?" Campus Spring Scene suddenly interrupted.

Dog Bro slapped Campus Spring Color on the shoulder: "I'm negotiating a deal, what's it to you?"

The campus spring scenery added quietly, "If you want to buy it, just offer a sincere price. You don't lack that much."

"You're not the one paying for it, so of course you don't feel bad about it."

Dog Brother turned his gaze back to Kid Brother: "Young man, how about this, let's both be sincere. I'll offer three thousand yuan, and I'll transfer the money if you agree."

He believed that the price he offered was fair.

To his surprise, it seemed that his joking around with the campus girls made the kid feel neglected, which, combined with his dissatisfaction at being offered a lower price, made him feel like he wasn't being taken seriously.

This made the kid get angry.

In the eyes of rebellious teenagers, face is much more important than interests.

Even though three thousand yuan was very tempting, he still stubbornly said, "I'm not selling it."

With that, the boy turned and left, his eyes filled with resentment.

Dog Brother didn't care about this. Just like he said when he was trying to negotiate the price, "Qingxi Jue" wasn't a high priority for him. He didn't care whether he bought it or not.

As the campus spring scenery watched the boy's departing figure, she thought, "I think my most urgent task is to find a pair of sunglasses to wear."

"Huh?" Dog Bro was a little slow to catch up with the leaping train of thought about campus spring.

"Those who frequently read fantasy novels know that the villains in them will have a hint of resentment flashing in their eyes at the slightest disagreement, and their eyes will flash with a fierce light without saying a word. Every few days, their eyes will show a fierce glint, and when no one is around, their eyes will be deep and cold, with a burst of cold light and eyes that seem to be about to burst out of their sockets."

Unfortunately, the protagonist always notices us at those times, so villains like us have to wear sunglasses to avoid revealing our true intentions.

The campus spring scenery still gazed in the direction where the little boy had left.

Dog Bro looked completely bewildered: "What are you talking about?"

Campus Spring finally managed to glance at Dog Brother and suddenly realized: "So you're not planning on murder and robbery after all?"

Dog Bro: "?"

"What's so strange about that? This game doesn't have player inventory. As long as we kill him, whatever good stuff he has is ours."

The springtime scenery on campus is showing an evil expression, just short of letting out a couple of sly laughs.

With their average strength of level 20 or higher, dealing with the kid was indeed a piece of cake.

Ok……

In the end, they didn't do that.

The main concern is that killing players like this would provoke resentment from the only NPC in the starting village.

Given the uncertainty of potential losses, players will not reveal their chaotic nature for the time being.

……

Three days passed in a flash, in a calm and peaceful state.

Of course, this calm and tranquility was only for Jiang Chen.

For the players, these three days were fulfilling and enjoyable.

Each player has their own things to do.

Ah Shui and Cheng Lu's weapon shop has officially started selling weapons, with a steel knife priced at 5 spirit essences.

Although they haven't opened for business yet, they firmly believe that this is only temporary and that sooner or later players will realize how wonderful it is to have a handy weapon when killing monsters.

The young couple, Si Dongquan and his wife, didn't have time to level up. They spent all day running around the tribe, carefully tending to the fine rice they planted in five different locations.

After three days of cultivation, the best-growing spot has sprouted a tender shoot the length of an adult's index finger.

They can basically conclude that the habits of this crop are similar to those of real japonica rice. It is also an aquatic herbaceous plant, but a certain genetic mutation has occurred, resulting in a significantly shortened maturity period.

The exact taste is still unclear, but the young couple is already researching the most convenient way to get water for irrigation.

Since we can always buy more seeds, and we want to seize the initiative, we should start large-scale planting now.

As for Brother Gou and his men, they led the remaining old brothers to search all over the mountains and fields for the defeated soldiers of the Beast Tribe.

Having tasted the sweetness of a bountiful harvest, it's hard for them to settle down and hunt slugs again.

And you know what? They were really lucky.

In the past three days, they have actually found six defeated soldiers from the Wu tribe.

Unfortunately, they were all ordinary barbarian soldiers, and the amount of blood energy they could provide was far less than that of a centurion. When divided among them, it wasn't much faster than killing a slug.

It is worth mentioning that the greatest contribution to the transformation of the tribe came from the university student organization led by Peng Zhi.

After learning that the game actually had monster sieges, Peng Zhi felt a strong sense of crisis.

Led by members of the organization, they cleared all the vegetation within a 500-meter radius of the tribe, ensuring that any approaching targets could be detected quickly.

At the same time, two stone platforms were built at the entrance of the tribe to serve as watchtowers.

Although most of the time there are no players stationed on the stone platform, it still looks quite presentable on the surface.
