Chapter 397 Selling Myself
After coming out of the shop, he used his spiritual power and flew to the bulletin board at the city gate.
"Large sect events" are updated here in real time, including the "limited-time welfare event" that the players are participating in this time. It is said that even the so-called "service suspension update" will be announced, but that kind of "legendary" situation has not been encountered yet.
This kind of announcement method was added in the last half month. There is one in each "main city", which is mainly for the convenience of ordinary people who do business with players. Sometimes large-scale activities or server suspension updates cause players to be away from the city, and some small businesses and small businesses that specialize in serving players will have no customers.
With this bulletin board, everyone can carry out daily activities based on the information posted on the bulletin board, which is much more convenient.
For example, for this "military exercise", a piece of paper with black text on a red background appeared on the bulletin board. Not only was it written in detail how long the military exercise was expected to last, but it also displayed the countdown to the end of the event!
What a magical trick! I don’t know how Taiyin Sect did it. This countdown even changes all the time!
There is still one hour left before the end of the "Taiyin Sect Military Exercise" event - this concept is also a timekeeping method that has become popular and widespread with the activeness of players, that is, there are 24 hours in a day, and one hour is two hours.
As a weapon refiner who has a lot of contact with players due to the nature of his work, Song Bozheng is already familiar with all of this. He calculated the time in his mind familiarly - he and a customer had an appointment to inspect the goods after the Taiyin Sect's military exercise. The other party said that he wanted to participate in the whole process to earn points, so as to exchange for things like "appearance" and "blonde hair", but it was still early and there was no rush, so he slowly turned to the night market street outside.
Without the players, the whole street seemed much more deserted.
The monks setting up stalls were scattered here and there, and some of them had obviously read the announcement and came staggeringly over to set up their stalls.
Some of these monks setting up stalls are selling miscellaneous items that they have accumulated for decades or even hundreds of years, or "selling skills" based on the inheritance of their own masters. There are more than a dozen stalls that repair spiritual tools and magic weapons alone - but now people no longer call it "repairing spiritual tools and magic weapons", but call it "equipment maintenance" as the players call it.
However, some cultivators are old hands, and they don't sell their own things like in the past trade fairs among other sects and forces. Instead, they specifically purchase stuff in batches and sell them to the players at high prices.
Since neither Chang'an City nor Taiyin Sect has had time to issue any laws, rules or regulations regarding commodity market pricing, there are quite a few players who have been cheated.
It’s strange to say, although many of the posts in the forum are about the monks’ stalls in the Lightning Avoidance Night Market, there are still batches of players who are deceived every day and buy low-priced spiritual materials, elixirs and talismans at high prices, and they are always deceived in different ways.
Song Bozheng just turned to the night market street and looked along the street. Just within a dozen meters, there were four or five shops with signs saying "Equipment Maintenance"!
Song Bozheng curled his lips in disdain.
Most of these monks with signs of "equipment maintenance" are not even equipment refiners. They are probably monks who have learned the basics and have only a vague understanding of equipment refining. They heard that there are many opportunities to make money in Chang'an City of Taiyin Sect, so they all rushed here to set up stalls.
If he really had some skills, it would be much easier for him to get into graduate school or make money by customizing and making spiritual tools like him.
However, when he saw a short banner with the words "Labor charges start from one yuan" hanging next to a sign that read "Equipment Maintenance", Song Bozheng couldn't help but hiss.
This price is too outrageous!
"Why is this so cheap!?"
Song Bozheng couldn't help but stopped in front of the stall and asked.
The cultivator was a female cultivator. When she saw someone stopping in front of the stall, she stood up happily. But when she saw Song Bozheng's clothes and appearance, her eyes dimmed again. She obviously recognized that this was not the famous "fat sheep" disciple of Taiyin Sect.
But she still replied: "I have no choice, I need money urgently, my sister is sick and needs treatment!"
Seeing that the female cultivator looked like she had a high level of cultivation, Song Bozheng became more and more curious: "Huh? What's the disease? Why don't you ask the Taiyin Sect disciples for help?"
As a player who does everything except serious work, he has always been enthusiastic and easy to deceive. No matter how difficult the problem is, as long as he calls it a task and adds some strange "rewards", even if they are just some specialties from other continents, he can fool many people into helping with the "task".
Therefore, if someone is sick and needs medicine or treatment, it can be assigned to the Taiyin Sect disciples in the form of a task. This is the experience of the natives of Guixu Realm who have lived in Chang'an City for a long time.
The female cultivator sighed and explained, "It's useless. My sister suffers from amnesia, and ordinary elixirs are useless. I just want to save more money and go to the underworld!"
"Amnesia", as the name suggests, is a disease in which the soul is lost.
In most cases, amnesia can be cured by certain means and methods to summon back the patient's soul, but there are some exceptions, such as when the soul is trapped in certain places or accidentally drifted to the underworld.
Once the soul reaches the Nine Netherworld, it is like a drop of water flowing into the sea, and it will be difficult to find it again.
Song Bozheng's cultivation was not low, so he was naturally familiar with this knowledge, so he continued to ask: "Could it be that your sister's lost soul has drifted to the Netherworld?"
"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't do this!"
As she said this, the female cultivator gave a bitter smile.
Song Bozheng pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I think you can try asking the Taiyin Sect disciples. They are not afraid of life and death. If they go to the Netherworld, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for them to find your sister's soul."
The female cultivator had thought about it before, but she was really short of money. In addition, she had only just arrived in Chang'an City and did not have a deep understanding of the Taiyin Sect. She only said, "But I don't have much money left. I'm afraid I can't pay them enough for their help..."
Song Bozheng hesitated for a moment, recalling that earlier, many Taiyin Sect disciples from small communities had come to him, wanting to "buy" him - to have him work in a designated place and to manufacture a certain number of "equipment" for their communities every week.
The prices offered by those people were extremely outrageous, but unfortunately he preferred to open his own shop, so he rejected them all.
The grand occasion at that time was certainly due to his excellent skills and reputation, but for the female cultivator in front of him, it was still a way out.
Thinking of this, Song Bozheng simply suggested: "If it really doesn't work, you can also sell "yourself"!"
