Chapter 748 Characteristics of Strangers
"Brother, look at that guy. How come he took the merchandise away without paying or signing a contract? The stall owner even gave him gold coins?"
At this time, Fiona tugged at a corner of Avis' cloak in surprise and quietly pointed to a stall on the street.
It was a stall set up by a dwarf player, on which were displayed various finished products such as weapons and armor that shone with cold light.
It was obvious that he was a lifestyle player. These weapons were made of magical metals dug out from the snowy mountains, and they were basically of ice attribute.
With a cursory glance, Avis was able to identify low- and medium-level magical metals such as cold iron and ice-patterned steel.
When Avis looked over following Fiona's signal, a deal had already been concluded. An orc player wearing heavy armor like a barrel, with an upturned steel helmet, was carrying a huge cold iron sword surrounded by frost and leaving.
The stall owner had a happy look on his face, and it seemed that he had made a good profit.
"Don't worry about it. Those foreigners have a special way of doing business. They call it 'cash transaction'. They use a special invisible currency that is only circulated among foreigners to pay the price."
After taking a glance at the stall owner's panel, Avis immediately understood the transaction process.
Not everyone has enough gold coins. In fact, most players' wallets are always at a bottomless pit. At this time, cash transactions naturally come into being.
The player was short of money, but he liked the excellent heavy sword, so he spent 1,000 yuan online to buy the [Cold Iron Heavy Sword +2] and 150 gold coins from the stall owner.
The game officials neither encourage nor oppose this type of trading behavior, but only remind players to pay attention to trading risks.
After all, there are so many strange skills in the game, and if you are not careful you might be fooled by unscrupulous businessmen.
"Cash transaction? I don't feel any change."
After careful exploration, Fiona finally gave up looking for the existence of "cash" and attributed it to the special abilities of the strangers.
"But if we can't find the currency of these foreigners, then if they sell things that don't belong to them in this way and run away, then others will be helpless against them. Even if they are caught, they will be unable to recover the losses?"
"Yes, this is also one of the abilities of the strangers, so as a lord, you need to pay attention to this. Don't rashly hand over the purchase funds of large items to strangers."
Avis nodded slightly in approval of Fiona's sharpness, and took the opportunity to teach the girl how to avoid risks in advance. Given the players' moral integrity, if they really got enough public funds, they would definitely run away with the money.
As he was speaking, Avis suddenly felt several waves of detection nature sweeping past.
"Here we go again. These foreigners are so rude."
Fiona couldn't help but wrinkle her fair little nose, and looked towards the source of the detected fluctuations with a bit of dissatisfaction.
There were several players gathered together over there. When they saw Fiona turning around, they were startled and then scattered like birds and beasts.
When detecting a native with a level difference that is too large, it is possible that the other party will detect it. Some natives have no tolerance for the "offense" of these low-level foreigners. In the game forum, there are often tragic cases of players who detect by mistake and are hunted down and killed by the natives.
But it would be a pity to leave such a useful skill like detection unused. As the game progresses, players have already figured out how to use detection more safely.
First, use 'Perception' before using Detection.
This skill can determine the approximate level of the opponent through the external aura of the natives, which can be regarded as a super weakened version of detection.
If the feedback is '? ? ? ', it means that the opponent's level difference is too large and it will be dangerous to use detection.
The second is the location of use. It is safer to use detection in cities, where offensive behavior is generally prohibited and the attitude of the indigenous people is relatively friendly. However, if you use detection on indigenous people in the wild, they may become hostile.
These players also saw that Avis and his companions didn't look like strong men in their attire, so they tried to detect them, but they were unexpectedly rejected.
"Don't worry too much. People from foreign lands are all a little abnormal."
With a slight smile, Avis didn't pay too much attention to this little episode, but took Fiona directly to the core area of the city, the headquarters of the White Light Club.
In addition to inspecting the city this time, he also plans to meet with the person in charge of the White Light Club, and help them connect with the fourth princess Osvia in the name of Fiona.
As people who are willing to lend a helping hand to Fiona at critical moments, the four princesses are all allies they can win over before the battle for the throne is settled.
The presence of players can often play a miraculous role at critical moments.
Of course, since they are still hiding their identities, Anvis has arranged for his clone to return to Pamir Academy and send a letter to the Fourth Princess.
This means that he was helping those strangers to establish contact with Fiona as requested before she disappeared. . ….…. "An NPC I haven't seen before. Judging from his attire, he seems to be a traveler."
"Detection skills show that they are three professionals in their 40s. Their specific professions are unknown, but judging from their mana, they are probably spellcasters."
"Just now that person suddenly turned around, I thought my detection was discovered, I was shocked, but it turned out to be just a coincidence."
"No, it could be that the NPC has some special perception treasure, or a passive perception skill."
After escaping to a place where they felt safe, several players started discussing.
The abnormal reactions of Avis, Fiona and their team to the detection attracted the attention of several players.
Since detection can display specific information, it means that the opponent's level is not high enough to detect detection.
Either it was just a coincidence, or the other party had something extraordinary about him.
"What should we do? According to the news on the forum, the Empire will soon be in a full-scale war. Those clubs are recycling all kinds of special equipment to prepare to form an army.
Perception equipment and skills are essential, and their prices have almost doubled six or seven times now."
"Those three NPCs may have a hidden mission. Judging from the way they are hiding, they are probably doing something shady. They may be spies from some hostile force."
"But those should be three level 40 elite monsters. We probably can't defeat them by force. We can follow them first and see if we can trigger any quest.
After completing the mission, we will report to the city guards. If they are not legitimate, they will resist and we can take the opportunity to kill them. We can also ask the city guards for a reward afterwards."
The plan was finalized and several players went straight to execute it with full confidence.
