Chapter 24. Irish Town (6) Ye Mo’s ability to make money

  Leaving Ian’s workshop, Ye Mo returned to the small room in the basement.

     It was late at night in the Celtic continent. If she went up there rashly, she could only go shopping in the night streets. She also needed some time to adjust her body and mind, and sort out all the information and equipment.

     “Check the main quest.”

 

 【Survival time (4/100), 

     kill 1st level monster (0/100), 

     survivors (41/50). 】

 

     There are 41 survivors left.

     Ye Mo asked twice in a row and confirmed that it was correct. Less than one-tenth of the time had passed, and 9 people had died. It seemed that the task of killing monsters was not that simple.

     This world is not peaceful. Ye Mo asked again:

     “Check personal status.”

 

—————————

     Account: Ye Mo

     Intelligence: Hidden (Don’t you know your IQ?)

     Spirit: 36

     Strength: 28 (+2)

     Agility: 24 (+1)

     Constitution: 25

     Remarks: 4 free attribute points.

     Power: Level 2 Spiritual System [ABCDE, you are still an F].

     Skills: Primary Manipulation [Can manipulate a small number of inanimate objects, like a useless toy yellow duck, you can’t even float a fire axe].

     Equipment column: a fire axe (strength attribute +2), a pair of spike shoes (agility attribute +1), an ordinary backpack, a cute little yellow duck.

     Medicine column: a bag of gold wound powder, a low-grade snow ginseng pill.

—————————

 

     100 hours of high-intensity work has improved all of Ye Mo’s attributes to a certain extent, especially the spiritual attribute value, and a new way to enhance the strength attribute has also been found.

     Of course, agility has little to do with her work. The three points of agility are entirely due to the advancement of her psychic ability.

     This is already a pleasant surprise.

     Ye Mo tried to add two free attribute values to strength to make up 30 points.

 

   【It was detected that the survivor Ye Mo’s strength attribute value reached 30 in the “Irish Town Dungeon”, and the ability unlocking failed. 】

 

     The strength ability unlocking failed again.

     Ye Mo exhaled a breath of depression. At least her strength increased by two points, and she got a message for free. With the increase of attributes, she still has a chance to unlock other abilities.

     Eat five more chestnut fruits to calm her nerves.

     Ye Mo took out the newly acquired dagger and studied it carefully. The scabbard was made of leather, with a red crystal in the center, which could not only protect the dagger to a certain extent, but also lock the special ability of the fire dagger.

     Unsheathed. The dagger is about one centimeter long, and the faint red light on the double blades is extremely conspicuous in the dark basement. The sharp blade can easily split solid stone, and the split stone has a distinct burning sensation.

     This fire dagger can actually increase strength by ⊕5, agility by ⊕4, and constitution by ⊕2. It is worthy of being the product of a high-level craftsman. In comparison, the only advantage of the fire axe is that it is “produced by the system and can enter and exit the dungeon freely.”

     Ye Mo did not put the dagger back into the backpack, but took a new piece of clothing, borrowed a knife, needle, and hemp thread to sew a pocket for herself, and sewed it inside another piece of clothing, and put the dagger close to her body.

     This way, it is easy to take and put.

     I sorted my luggage again, and put weapons, medicines, silver coins, copper coins, and usable craftsman tools into the backpack one by one, and put the fire axe alone on the side of the backpack.

     During the four days of high-intensity work, Ye Mo relied on the physique of the goblin and the high-level magic array potion to survive. She lay on the bed and recited the “Tao Te Ching” silently while thinking in the air.

     Gradually falling asleep.

 

…

 

     The method of going from underground to the ground is very simple. There is no need to dig a hole like a groundhog. This is the magic continent. Even in the underground world where goblins live, there are two space magic arrays.

     Ye Mo only needs to hand in 2 copper coins to step on the center of a circular array and instantly teleport to the ground. The sudden white light stimulated her to close her eyes reflexively.

     But even with her eyes closed, she could clearly feel the wind, green trees, grass, flowers, soil, etc. in the environment, and she felt a long-lost feeling in her heart.

     After getting used to the light, she opened her eyes.

     Ye Mo put on the black cloak first. The skin of the goblin physique will become very sensitive in the sun. It is not just itchy. If you are exposed to the sun too much, you will also have other symptoms such as redness, swelling and dehydration.

     After putting on the black cloak, she began to look around.

     She is now in the back garden of a small goblin shop. The owner is Peter. The shop is a simple and beautiful two-story building with red walls. It is clean and tidy. The garden is surrounded by a white fence. It mainly grows clusters of flowers similar to purple roses, which emit a faint floral fragrance.

     She talked with Peter, the owner of the small shop, for more than ten minutes, said goodbye, and walked out of the shop.

     On the straight and spacious street, the noisy sound of the hustle and bustle first came into her ears, followed by the buildings of different styles that attracted her attention, and the exotic appearance and clothing of the people on the street…

     All these reminded Ye Mo

     -This is a strange world.

     Unlike the earth, the Celtic continent is facing the danger of magic beasts1. Every gathering area needs a lot of people to protect it. Even if it is a small town, the area is comparable to that of the earth city.

     Basically there is everything here.

     There are magician associations, swordsman associations, Irish Chamber of Commerce, etc., weapon shops, tailor shops, wand shops, potion shops, alchemy product shops, hotels, restaurants, hotels, auction houses, grain and meat shops, etc., everything is available, and there are more than one or two.

     Pulling the hood of her magic robe, Ye Mo walked into the crowded street. With her short stature of less than one meter, she was very flexible in the crowd, and the sunlight was blocked by the tall people.

     Short stature, fast speed, and more walking.

     In a small town in Ireland, 1 to 3 silver coins can be used to stay in a hotel in the town for 1 month, 10 copper coins can be used to eat in a restaurant, 80 copper coins can buy a whole set of simple linen clothes, and the cheapest house in the town only costs 1 gold coin, so you can settle down at any time.

     For ordinary people, Ye Mo has 2 gold coins, 99 silver coins, and 98 copper coins in her backpack, which can survive for a long time, but she spent a lot of time walking around and only used 1 silver coin to buy 100 chestnuts.

     Once it involves magic beast, the price of items will rise.

     For example, Monsters crystal cores. Among them, the price of special magic beast crystal cores of space, light, and dark systems is the most expensive, and there is no market for them; the price of ordinary magic beast crystal cores of level 1 such as fire, electricity, and wind is between 12 silver coins and 15 silver coins.

     Level 1 water magic beast crystal cores are the cheapest, only 10 silver coins are needed, because only medium and high-level water magic beasts can control all liquid water, and the combat effectiveness of low-level water magic beasts is not high.

     Level 2 magic beast crystal cores double in price, and level 3 doubles on the basis of level 2. When it comes to intermediate level 4, it is not worth trading with silver coins.

     Few people will treat their mortal enemies as pets, and there will basically be no stores selling living magic beasts. Ye Mo’s idea died.

     In addition, the primary magic recovery potion is 10 silver coins, and the intermediate magic recovery potion is 30 silver coins.

     The higher the quality of the weapon that can kill magic beasts, the more expensive it is. The market price of the fire dagger made by the senior craftsman of the goblin in Ye Mo’s arms is more than 15 gold coins, that is, more than 1,500 silver coins.

     Master Ian is awesome!

     From this point of view, her fire axe is not too bad.

     Ye Mo attaches great importance to her own safety. She spent 79 silver coins to buy a set of magic wolf armor, a pair of long weasel boots, a hide tent, a map of the forest periphery, etc.

 

…

 

     Unless it is absolutely necessary, Ye Mo will not foolishly rush out of the town alone, especially after seeing the information of so many survivors’ deaths, she must at least figure out how dangerous the forest is.

     The final destination is the Mercenary Association.

     Unlike the fixed guards in the town, mercenaries are free in action. They usually make money by accepting hired tasks. The main members are magicians and swordsmen, and also include a small number of other people or races.

     The official place for mercenaries to accept employment is the Mercenary Association, and every town has a Mercenary Association.

     In the Mercenary Association, anyone can issue and accept tasks. A considerable part of the tasks are to hunt monsters or treasures in the forest outside the town. Mercenary tasks help humans fight monsters to a certain extent and maintain the peace of the city.

     The building of the Irish Mercenary Association is similar to a semicircular barrel-vaulted castle with multiple glass windows and a life-size sculpture of Ulster, the hero of the Celtic continent, at the door.

     The Mercenary Association has prospered an entire central commercial street. Apart from the weapons and drug stores related to the mercenaries, there are a large number of hotels, inns, and XX entertainment stores.

     Ye Mo met some scattered mercenaries and mercenary groups who took tasks informally, and she rejected them.

     At the same time, she met large and small mercenary groups that were short of recruiting mercenaries, and they did not ask about welfare issues at all. When she did not even ask whether she could join, they decisively rejected her.

     Of all the intelligent biological groups, goblins are the most alienated. Even though 80% of the weapons and equipment of the mercenaries come from goblins, if not, they may be directly despised and excluded. 

     Different aesthetics can easily bring harm. The elves with pointed ears are very popular with humans.

     On the mercenary street, Ye Mo met six survivors, five of whom were white people gathered together. Among them were the red-haired and blue-eyed Arthur and the American mixed-race beauty Bella. Of course, they recognized her.

     Mainly because she looked too “outstanding”.

     These five white people seemed to be living a good life. They were laughing and joking with the mercenaries. Bella was still wearing a dark blue magic robe and holding a dark brown magic wand.

     Their conversation also fell into Ye Mo’s ears word by word, including those jokes that were not boring.

     In addition to these five white people, in front of a small bar, Ye Mo also met a Chinese who joined the mercenary group alone. Coincidentally, he was the man who woke up after her in the space.

     The symptoms of facial management deficiency became more serious, his face was still pale, and his relationship with the members of the mercenary group he joined did not seem normal. Everyone avoided him in their words and deeds.

 

…

 

     It was extremely unlikely that a goblin would join a mercenary group normally. Without wasting any more time, Ye Mo went straight to the mercenary association and entered the spacious and bright main hall of the castle.

     The layout of the main hall was clear at a glance.

     Ye Mo stayed at the task collection point for half an hour, learned the price list and employment rules of each task in detail, and then calculated her own worth before coming to the task release point.

     “Hello, I want to release a new task.”
