"Bards? What do you want to see those sour scholars for? Oh, they usually just wander off. All I know is that there are quite a few bards hanging around the Mengde Teahouse in the north of the city."

Seeing Chu Yuan's somewhat disgusted expression, Li Keji hurriedly spoke.

Although these things were not within the scope of his sales, Chu Yuan had just bought a 'fake necklace' that he had gotten.

"Mengde Teahouse? Okay, let's go."

Chu Yuan nodded, turned and walked into the Black Jade Jewelry Store.

How should I put it, this black jade jewelry store is full of stone flavor.

The walls, floors, and even the roof are basically made of some mineral materials. It looks a bit messy, but there is an indescribable charm.

On the shelf next to it, there are a large number of jewelry, and even some gems and other things.

But the price is prohibitive.

The prices of these finished jewelry are in gold coins. The prices of the minerals vary, but most of them are priced in gold coins.

"Sir, is there anything you need to buy?"

Seeing Chu Yuan coming in, the NPC who was sitting aside polishing gems with a pair of strange-looking glasses raised his head.

"Master Brad, I want to buy a ring, but the price here is too high. Is there any way to buy it cheaper?"

The items were too expensive to buy. At least, they weren't something players could afford when the game first launched.

So, in other words, if you want to buy something here again, you must complete Brad's first task to have a chance to get what you want. Otherwise, just take a look.

"Oh? That's right. You're so weak, I don't think you have much money. I have a task here. If you can complete it, I will allow you to use 5% of the price to buy an E-level jewelry."

It's not surprising, except that this guy actually despises the weak!

If it weren't for the fact that Brad was a level 70 NPC and could not be defeated at all, Chu Yuan would probably not hesitate... with a smile on his face.

It is absolutely impossible to argue with NPCs unless it is necessary.

"Ding! System prompt: You have received the mission · A Pleasure to the Eyes."

After coming out of the Black Jade Jewelry Store, Chu Yuan continued to walk around.

At this moment, most of the important things have been done, but there is still one thing left, which is to find the Alchemist Guild!

The Alchemist Guild is different from other guilds. This guild is located in the wilderness outside the city.

It's quite strange, but I have to say that in people's impression, the profession of alchemist has a much lower favorability than disfavorability.

After all, many times in history, disasters were caused by certain situations among alchemists.

Even the alchemist himself is well aware of this.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the Alchemist Guild announced a long time ago that the guild headquarters would not be located in the city to prevent harm to innocent people.

Explosions are a common occurrence in alchemists' experiments. Many advanced potions are accompanied by explosions during their creation.

If the pharmacist can be described as a relatively mild profession in preparing medicine, then the alchemist's way of preparing medicine is very wild!

Producing some highly toxic products from time to time is no longer a big deal. They even often cause some problems that are not limited to mutations and explosions.

Cherishing life and staying away from alchemy can be said to be the easiest thing for the residents of Blackrock City to remember.

Why are the walls of Blackrock City so black? It must have been done by the alchemist!

Why did the old sow at home scream in the middle of the night? It must have been done by the alchemist!

Why did Widow Li from the south city mysteriously disappear? It was done by the alchemist!

In short, in the eyes of the people in Blackrock City, alchemists are almost equated with evil.

Of course, this was just what most people thought. Many others knew that the walls of Blackrock City had turned black because they had become more solid.

That old sow screamed in the middle of the night because... some poor alchemists, unable to afford experimental subjects, secretly used other people's sows for experiments. Apparently, it was related to increasing production.

Therefore, alchemy is a very expensive profession. The saying that alchemy can make three generations poor is not an exaggeration.

As for why the widow Li in the south of the city mysteriously disappeared, and then a young and beautiful Li Cuihua was found in Widow Li's home the next day, the reason was because of a beauty potion.

Good and evil are difficult to define, but generally speaking, in the eyes of the residents of Black Rock City, alchemists are both good and evil.

"Ding! System prompt: You have fallen from the ranking list."
