I have proficiency in everything

Chapter 92;
On the side of Mo Xun and the others, it was just a day without any disturbance.

Comrade Claire didn't wake up until the next morning because of excessive energy consumption, but he was just in time for breakfast.

Because Romo has fallen behind, Claire realizes that her future good life is likely to have to cling to the three people in front of her.Therefore, we must reflect our value as a younger brother and keep up with the pace of the three elder brothers.

But today is another day when Claire lags behind, because even Ye Zi, who follows the golden eight-hour sleep time, has woken up early, and Mo Xun has even completed several hours of morning exercises.

Such a compact life made Claire a little unaccustomed, but she had to grit her teeth to keep up.

But before that, you can enjoy the healthy breakfast prepared by Mo Xun.

A large bowl of noodles is hand-pulled (made) by Mo Xun himself. Although it took less than 10 minutes, with the blessing of Mo Xun's strong physical fitness and [cooking skills], each noodle is delicate Without missing a beat.

The base soup is made by Mo Xun early in the morning with top-grade large ribs. The thick and delicious taste is transmitted directly from the nose to the mouth. The clear soup can see the shape of each noodle in the soup, but the surface of the soup reflects a little bit of light.

On the top of the noodles, the braised beef, sautéed beef offal, sliced ​​green onions and coriander each take up one-third of the mouth of the bowl, neatly arranged.

Claire, who had been hungry all night, was already drooling before he started eating.

Li Xiang also has a long-lost taste of brother Mo Xun's handicrafts.

As for Ye Zi, after all, he is a person who has seen the big world, and Mo Xun's [cooking skills] level 20 is not enough lethality.

After a breakfast, the morning sleepiness was suddenly washed away, and everyone was inexplicably refreshed.

There is also a lot of useful information in yesterday's intelligence exploration plan.

For example, the most wanted criminals who have been active in Lomi Kazia recently have been haunted by cult members in Lincheng.

Or it could be the commission recently issued by the search department, the troubles the search department has encountered recently, or even the working hours of the search department, the investigation cycle and habits around it, and so on.

Or about the local underground organization, gang organization, intelligence dealer's branch, code word, price and so on.

And one of them is related to the itinerary of the day after tomorrow.

Quite a coincidence, the night after tomorrow, because the last batch of important goods from Shangjing was successfully delivered, a grand auction will be held at the Logitech Auction Field in the central city of Lomi Kazia.

That's right, it's the auction house, a powerful force in the world that has a high probability of appearing in all other worlds.

In this world, the auction house itself does have a huge background. In addition to having capital from the empire, it is a "state-owned enterprise" itself.

The real holdings behind him are big families that have a reputation throughout the empire, including the most famous business family in the empire - the Yuexia family.

That is Ye Zi's family.

Even in Lomi Kazia, this grand auction is only a few years old, so many heavyweights from the surrounding small towns and even the nearby big cities will come.

For Mo Xun, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to inquire about information.

Especially about whether my party was discovered by the empire, the result of the Moros war after leaving, and the situation of the entire continent and the empire.

These news can only be known from the upper class.

Furthermore, with [Observation] magic skill, it seems a bit sorry for this skill if you don't miss a wave when encountering a classic god-level occasion like an auction.

And Ye Zi's demand for this auction is also very high. Many of the plants Ye Zi planted were very picky eaters when they were young, and after leaving Moros, Ye Zi has never had the opportunity to replenish them, and it is difficult to buy them in ordinary markets.

So you have to go to the auction to try your luck.

"Take a chance? Where did elder sister Ye Zi buy it when she needed it?"

The naive Lixiang asked a not-so-intelligent question. After all, as the eldest daughter of the Yuexia family, she obviously didn't need to worry about such things.

"Before, because I was busy, my brother prepared it for me."

"younger brother?"

Mo Xun was a little surprised by Ye Zi's answer, it wasn't because his younger brother was helping Ye Zi prepare "feed", but because it was the first time he had known Ye Zi's younger brother for such a long time.

But it's reasonable to think about it. A family like the Yuexia family is difficult to pass on in a single line, and Ye Zi has always said that she is the eldest daughter, and it is normal to have younger brothers and sisters behind her.

Ye Zi also heard Mo Xun's doubts, and continued to explain:
"Well, I've always disliked ineffective communication, so I forgot to mention it."

"However, my brother and I have always been very close, and I still have many good memories of being with my brother."

Ye Zi talked to himself while recalling.

"When I was ten years old, I used fire magic for the first time to burn off my brother's eyebrows."

"When I was 13, I accidentally broke two of my brother's ribs while trying to double cast."

"When I was 14, I was almost swallowed by a little mouth because I helped water my water."

"At 17 I wanted to try dispensing medicine myself, because I drank my potion and fell into a coma for three days..."

The other three were sweating when they heard this, and Mo Xun couldn't help asking, "Is your brother...is he really alive?"

"Of course, the level of medical care in our family is still pretty good."

Uh, hehe, I hope I don't run into your brother in the future.

Based on the above two important reasons, Mo Xun decided to participate in this grand auction, and he brought Claire and Lixiang together.

The abilities of both of them need to increase their knowledge, and they both want to watch this kind of scene.

Before participating in this auction, there is an extremely important preparation that needs to be made, which is to raise money.

Although Fupo Ye has surplus food, it is hard to say whether the remaining cash will be enough for her to squander for a long time. As for the savings card of the Imperial Bank, after using it, the Yuexia family will know the location and leave a leak.

Mo Xun did not want to take such a risk.

Moreover, Ye Zi's money comes from the family and the empire after all, and with the escape of Mo Xun and others from prison, there will be a day when they will be cut off.

Mo Xun and a few people can't wait to sit and eat.

So it is urgent to make money.

Among the four, there are two methods that are easiest to make money. One is Ye Zi to sell knowledge, but this not only requires a lot of risk, Ye Zi may not be willing.

And it can't always be soft.

The second is to sell resources through Li Xiang's ability, but according to Ye Zi's speculation, doing so may bear great risks.If you sell something and recycle it later... it will probably cause unnecessary trouble if you anger the buyer.

There is no need to use it if you are not particularly short of money.

So this method can only be denied temporarily.

Of course, there is also the last rogue way, which is to directly use Lixiang's ability to forge counterfeit currency, and then recycle these banknotes after a period of time.

The current banknotes of the empire have been updated and iterated countless times during the development of hundreds of years. The higher the face value of the currency, the more complicated the anti-counterfeiting is. It has long been reached that the cost of making counterfeit currency is much higher than the counterfeit currency itself.

Up to the current generation of currency, there has not been a successful case of complete forgery so far.

For Rika, neither the material nor the structure of the banknote is a problem. The most difficult thing is that there is a hidden hidden circuit in the center of the banknote interlayer. Once the banknote is destroyed, this circuit will self-destruct, so I want to study it. The internal principle is also basically impossible.

So it is not feasible to print money by yourself.

The easiest way to make quick money is temporarily unavailable.However, compliant and legal channels often come in slowly.

In addition to knowledge and energy, there is one more valuable resource in the hands of Mo Xunji.

— That is intelligence.

In Lomi Kazia's black market, information of different specifications can be sold for a high price of several black gold coins.

The relatively low ones can barely reach a few Bauhinia coins. Although the cost is a drop in the bucket compared to Ye Zi's level, as long as there is business, the income of one or two days is equivalent to a month's salary officially established by the search department.

After all, Mo Xun's source of information does not cost any money, nor does it require much investment.

Moreover, selling information can not only serve as a long-term source of income, but also expand contacts and increase influence among adventurers and travelers.

Just do what you say, if you want to sell information, you must first have a platform business place.

Given the current situation of Mo Xun and his party, it was obviously impossible to find a formal place, but there happened to be a place where underground intelligence dealers were rampant nearby.

Underground trading market, night market.

Although the name is similar to the cheap street stall market in the previous life, it is not unreasonable, but in fact it is indeed such a market.

On the bright side of the night market, there is a whole three or four street-sized market with hundreds of meters, and the products sold are also strange.

Some grotesque handicrafts, legendary meteorite fragments, some pheasant teaching materials for self-taught magic, ordinary stones inherited from the old times, and even old clothes that have been worn... It can be said that fish and dragons are mixed.

And it is very simple to do business in the night market, you don't even need to register, just find an empty booth, a rag or two tables to do business.

But it is also because the composition is too complicated, so it is extremely difficult to check. It is hidden in the middle of all kinds of groceries, and the real buying and selling are only provided to those who have channels.

This is the real underground market.

What's more, there are storefronts, private rooms, and dark rooms dedicated to shady activities.

Naturally, Mo Xun and the others don't need to set up a special storefront, just set up a stall at random.

The most important thing to be an information provider is the source of customers, and if you want customers, you must have a reputation, and you need to prepare for a long time if you want to do this.

……

My name is Roaldo Smith, I am 24 years old, I am an adventurer on the surface, but in fact I am a secret policeman.

The so-called secret police are actually spies who secretly provide intelligence to the search department.

The purpose of most people entering this industry is naturally for the extraordinary world that everyone yearns for.

As low-level civilians, there are too many people who have no chance and no money to enter the Imperial College even if they are qualified.

But the opportunity to enter the supernatural world is not completely lost for people like us.

As long as you enter the low-level functional departments of the empire and accumulate enough contributions, you will have the opportunity to enter the Imperial College for further study, and the contribution value during your tenure can also offset a large part of the tuition fees.

The secret police is a shortcut.

Compared with general functional departments, the secret police have much more opportunities to make meritorious service and obtain contribution points.

You only need to work for more than two years and assist in setting up fourth-class merit or accumulating credit to reach fourth-class, you can get the opportunity to study at Imperial College.

And I, Roldo Smith, have been working silently for four and a half years, and I haven't gotten this opportunity until now, because my contribution value has not been enough.

It's not that I don't want to get contribution points, it's that the secret police is really a very dangerous profession.With an ordinary person like me, even finding out about an ordinary fugitive would require a lot of effort.A bad one will be killed by the fugitive.

Not to mention taking part in the fight against extraordinary criminals, or vicious cult crimes.

Over the years, few people who are more courageous than me have really accumulated enough contributions. Most of the graves are several meters high.

And I naturally don't intend to take that kind of risk, I just need to hang around with peace of mind, and I can always save enough contribution points for another five or six years.

Although it will waste the golden age of learning magic, it is better than dying.

Becoming extraordinary is also about living a good life.

And my daily work, of course, is to hang out in adventurer's inns, taverns, markets and other places, casually inquire about some bad street information, and then sort out and report to the search department to complete the performance.

It is also of great significance for the search department to control these gray areas by sorting out these mixed information through the secret police one by one and summarizing them to the intelligence processing department of the search department.

But when it comes to quantifying contributions, there are too many people who need to distribute them, so there won’t be much left if it falls to individuals, but they can still be exchanged for some wages that improve their lives.

"Running around for a living~"

As a veteran of the secret police, Smith is not as enthusiastic about entering Imperial College as he was when he was young.

Came to the night market just to complete the daily task.

Unfortunately, I met a junior head-on.

This young man Yang Qing just came here this year, but he is also very timid, and he only dares to try his luck in the city.

Smith originally planned to pretend that he didn't know him, but Yang Qing was giving him crazy codes.Indicates that he has something to say to himself.

So Smith had to pretend to go around twice, and then quietly came to a street point that was not too hidden, but few people passed by.

"What's wrong?" Smith asked casually.

"Brother Luo, I just heard some very important news! It's possible that we can directly contribute enough!"

Yang Qing couldn't hide his excitement, and his voice was a little louder unconsciously.

Smith wasn't surprised at all. He had seen such a young Smith too much, and he always liked to make a fuss.

"Be quiet." Smith first reminded softly, and then continued to ask:
"What news, tell me."

Yang Qing nodded, lowered his voice and replied:

"It is said that there is a mysterious intelligence agent wearing a mask in the night market."

"If he appears anywhere in the night market wearing a yellow mask, you can ask him any question. If he knows the answer, he will offer you to buy any small item on his booth according to the value of the information you need, and then Tell me what you want to know."

Smith rolled his eyes and replied, "Isn't this just an ordinary informant in the future? Doesn't he know everything?"

The secret police were originally used as informants to inquire about intelligence. It would be a loss to go to the intelligence dealer to buy information and then go to the search department in exchange for a contribution of [-]%.

Yang Qing shook his head mysteriously: "Of course not, but this information provider is very good."

"It is said that many seniors who have successfully achieved contributions have traded with this intelligence dealer before."

Smith was completely speechless. How did he, such a novice, want to be a secret policeman?

"The most important thing is that when this businessman appears with a red mask, no matter who you are, you only need a black gold coin, and you don't need to ask any questions. He will tell you what you want to know the most."

Yang Qing naturally knew that it was impossible to buy a fourth-class gong for himself by directly buying information, but he could use this black gold coin to gamble on a chance.

Bet on an opportunity to follow the vines and make fourth-class meritorious service.
