Chapter 172 Abandon the mission and start the journey again



It is precisely because these things are adventurous and non-essential.

That's why the daily necessities section of the black market is so deserted.

According to Vicky, these stall owners in the daily necessities area are not even adventurers.

Most of them are non-combat professionals related to the Black Gold Gang.

These daily necessities were also purchased from adventurers. The fact that they could be sold on the black market was a small benefit that the Black Gold Gang provided to their subordinates.

At least they don't have to pay handling fees like other adventurers.

The main reason why Mark came here specifically to look at the so-called "non-essentials" was because he was obsessed with the profession of "chef".

Now the two ladies in the team are dual-professionals, and both have high combat output capabilities.

He didn't want to be the only single-professional member in the team.

Since the team has no shortage of output, he must provide good logistical support for the team.

Being a full-time dad is not only a dad on the battlefield, but also a life that cannot be ignored in daily adventurous life.

According to previous communication with Monica, it seems that only professions such as "chef", "farmer" and "artist" are professions that many main gods will not reject.

After all, even the evil gods of the chaotic evil camp have special professions such as "Hell Chef", "Ghost Farmer", and "Abyss Artist".

Mark didn't want to be a farmer, so he had to use his expertise to become a chef.

And in the daily necessities section of the Black Gold Gang's black market, there is the best item for him to improve his cooking skills - magic spices.

"Five cans of imitation dragon's blood chili powder, two pounds of burnt seeds from the dune flea, one pound of petrified star-patterned siliques, three pounds of tinder tree molts, and one pound of dried moon moss. Okay, that's all I need for now. Please pack them separately for me!"

Mark finally made his choice after smelling and tasting various ingredients one by one in front of a stall specializing in spices.

Although the names of these things sound strange, if you compare their smell and taste to the spices Mark knew in his previous life, I believe people who know Blue Star Chinese food will know why he made this choice.

The caramelized seeds of the dune flea come from the nests of some desert monsters. Just a few seeds can give barbecue a deep caramelized flavor, suppressing the fishy smell of monster meat.

It is a superior magic substitute for Cumin.

Petrified star fruit replaces star anise, tinder tree bark replaces cinnamon, and dried moon moss replaces MSG.

As for some rosemary-like spices on the stall, such as "Rosemary Thorns from the Fairy Courtyard", Mark did not buy any.

After all, those are spices commonly used in Western cuisine. Even if he was given them for free, he would still feel that the food he cooked would not taste right.

After buying a large amount of his stock at one time under the stall owner's surprised eyes, Mark also purchased a few more "Earth Resonance Magic Lamp Stones" at the stall next to him.

This is a special mineral similar to a magic fluorite lamp. After replenishing magic power, it can emit light for a long time. It can be regarded as the Holy Dragon Continent version of a flashlight.

It’s just a bit of a pity that the light of this thing is not as strong as a high-power flashlight, so it can only be used as a lantern.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Mark only bought some seemingly ordinary little things.

These things are all magical materials, and they are also processed magical spices that are relatively rare on the market.

At last count, the three-person team spent a total of 9,000 gold coins at the stalls in the daily necessities area.

After a round of purchases by the Black Gold Gang, Mark only had a pitiful two hundred gold coins left in his name.

The three of them had to stop their trip to the black market and return to Osborne Town.

"Okay, Sister Vicky, please take us back to Osborne Town."

Mark said to Vicky contentedly.

Vicky looked at him, looking like a wealthy man returning home with a lot of things, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, follow me to the teleportation array. Remember what the high priest said, next time... well, try to come alone."

She glanced at Monica meaningfully.

Monica snorted coldly and turned her head away.

If she wasn't in a hurry, she wouldn't even bother to come to the Black Gold Gang!

He is just the high priest of the Black Gold Gang, who is more noble than who?

The teleportation array lit up with silver light, engulfing the three figures.

Before leaving, Mark seemed to sense the direction of the cabin, and that cold gaze with a hint of subtle complexity swept over them again.

When they felt their feet firmly on solid ground, they had returned to the quiet courtyard in Osborne Town.

It was late at night, and the air was filled with a cool atmosphere unique to the small town at night, completely different from the underground black market.

Mark touched the cool "Starlight Gap" on his finger, feeling the supplies and potions inside. The haze in his heart caused by the Enlightenment Society and the Holy Light Church seemed to be dispelled a lot by this sufficient preparation.

"Let's go," Mark said to the two women, "Let's go straight to Osborne Market to buy some basic supplies. We'll leave the city tonight and set up camp outside to rest. Tomorrow... we'll consider the next plan."

As for the Adventurer's Guild, Mark decided not to go there for the time being.

Before figuring out Ailian's true attitude towards them, it's better to have as little contact with her as possible.

Moreover, the reason why One-Eyed Pabbi was able to determine their whereabouts and track them was probably because their whereabouts were exposed when they accepted the mission in the Adventurer's Guild.

The quests posted in the guild hall were limited in number, and as long as the informants stationed in the guild hall were attentive, they could easily collect most of the quests accepted by the adventurers in the guild.

Through the general information on the task bar, it is natural to infer the area where the adventurer who accepts the task will be active next.
