Upon seeing the news of the opening of Bei'an City, the player "Meirenyi Xiaokuaidi" suddenly became excited.
As a player with a storage talent, Ren Xiao knew that it was time for him to make a big splash!
Using the few contribution points he had, Ren Xiao exchanged some silver and cloth in the warehouse and was directly teleported to Bei'an City.
The crowd near the teleportation array has dispersed.
Ren Xiaodong looked around and then walked into the city gate.
Along the way, Ren Xiao did not encounter any obstructions. Instead, the NPCs were looking at him with awe.
After asking the players he met, Ren Xiaocai learned that before he came here, an event was triggered, causing everyone in the city to know their identities.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect are well-known and indeed impressive!
However, this kind of prestige is dispensable to Ren Xiao.
Making money is the most important thing!
Whether in reality or in games, Ren Xiao is a real young man who is keen on making money.
What he needs to do now is to ask around about the market prices of various materials in the city!
The dark green robe on his body was too conspicuous, so Ren Xiaobian first went to the tailor shop and immediately cut a small piece of silver to buy a set of ordinary clothes. Because there was a storage space, he could put things that he didn't need on a daily basis in it.
The Cangxia Sect school uniform was also thrown in.
At least until every player has a storage bag, Ren Xiao's advantage is unique.
The common currency in Bei'an City was copper coins, with one thousand coins being exchanged for one tael of silver. The exchange rate fluctuated frequently, but rarely exceeded 5%. As for gold, it was rarely used by ordinary people, and the exchange rate was based on the current market price. The exchange rate to silver could be as high as 1:20, and as low as 1:7.
One cent can buy a bowl of noodles, three or four cents can buy a pound of rice, and a good quality robe only costs about 50 cents.
Bei'an City's economy is not as closed as it seems.
Caravans often travel south, north and east, shuttling between various human settlements.
Long-distance caravans are generally large in scale, and are even escorted by monks. In addition to food, the goods transported include coal, minerals, logs, stones, etc.
Some black caravans also engage in robbery and human trafficking.
Bei'an City produces grain, but needs logs and ore.
After years of development, the mountains around Bei'an City have almost become barren. If you want wood, you have to go to farther places to cut it down.
Although the Ningqing Mountains are lush with vegetation, transportation is difficult, and there are wild beasts, monsters and bandits everywhere, so the residents dare not get close.
Coal is even a strategic material for Bei'an City.
With a basic understanding of Bei'an City, Ren Xiaobian began to move back and forth between the streets and the market. His purpose was, of course, to gather more intelligence. At the same time, he also wanted to try to sell some of the goods he had exchanged from the warehouse with his contribution points.
Soon, the sun set behind the mountain.
Lanterns were only lit in busy areas such as the main roads in the city.
Ren Xiao also gained a lot.
I sold a bunch of iron ingots at the blacksmith shop and earned a little over a hundred coins, which was a little over one-tenth of an ounce of silver.
The metal doesn't seem to be worth much.
The few pieces of cloth in Ren Xiao's hands were of poor quality, so the price was also kept very low.
However, Ren Xiao has accumulated some trading experience.
The most important thing is that he found that exchanging food from the warehouse was a huge loss!!!
The rice, flour, oil, and even meat, eggs, and milk in the city were all at super cheap prices, and Ren Xiao immediately filled his talent storage space with food.
There is food to eat.
Ren Xiao even got to know about deeper trading trends.
For example, the price of salt, tea, cigarettes... and even the consumption level in brothels.
Spending all your money overnight is no longer a myth.
However, the gold here refers to copper coins.
The night passed quickly.
Some players went back to the mountains to sleep, while others booked rooms in inns in the city to experience the game.
But everyone’s first priority is to go back to the mountains and run.
After all, contribution points are indispensable!
Missing the mountain running mission and losing contribution points is like buying a monthly card for a mobile game but not signing in.
After a trip up the mountain and spending the whole afternoon, it was time for the players to get up.
Players logged off one after another.
Cheng Yi had long been accustomed to the players' schedules, so he went to Bei'an City to buy a few jars of wine, moved back to his house and got drunk alone.
Lu Qing opened his Qianjie Wanxiang computer and began to browse the relevant information about his game.
A discussion about trade started in the player group.
The main reason was that they found that the food they exchanged in the warehouse was extremely expensive, but if they bought it from NPCs, it would be just a drop in the bucket.
"I found a casino in a small alley on South Street in Bei'an City with flower baskets hanging on it. I went there and tried it, and I made a lot of money."
"Dare these NPCs to win your money?"
"I changed my clothes to avoid being seen."
"You deserve it. Nine out of ten bets are lost."
"There's a martial arts school in East City! They teach a method for strengthening the body! And it's not expensive!"
"I found a great way to make money! It's definitely a lucrative business!"
"Tell me more."
"Selling wood! Wood is always in short supply in Bei'an City. The inferior wood is used as firewood, and the good wood is used to build houses and make furniture. There is a huge shortage of wood. The pottery making technology there is not very good either, so the bowls, chopsticks, and basins are all made of wood."
"Yes, the area around the city is bare. It doesn't look like there are any trees there."
