A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"This is--"

He Xiangwu's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately reached out to pick up one of them, and carefully looked at it again and again against the light.Looking at his cautious movements, it seems that what he holds in his hand is not a piece of ore, but a diamond.

"It's cinnabar ore," Fang Shiqing couldn't help the smile on his face, "It's really lucky to say that an NPC told us the location of a cinnabar mine—"

"Where did you get this?" the other party interrupted hastily.

Fang Shiqing was stunned: "It's in the mountains to the northwest?"

"—you dug it yourself?"

"That's right, oh, I dug it together with the boss."

Fang Shiqing was a little confused, not knowing what the other party meant, "Is there something wrong with this stone?"

He Xiangwu let out a long breath, and the expression on his face was not happiness, but numbness from shock.

"Brother Fang, you are awesome, you are really awesome," he carefully put the stone in his hand on the table, and let out a long breath, "Let me tell you, this is not cinnabar... No, it is true It’s cinnabar ore.”

Fang Shiqing became more and more at a loss.

"Then what exactly is it?"

"—Have you heard of 'blood stone'?" He Xiangwu asked.

"No." Fang Shiqing said, "Can you speak directly, the more direct the better, I can accept anything."

This scene is just like the protagonist in the Dianjia fantasy novel who accidentally picked up the artifact and took it to the appraisal center to shock the appraiser... I always feel that there is something weird about it.

"Let's put it this way, bloodstone is a, uh, rare stone."

He Xiangwu scratched his head, pointed to the ore on the table and introduced, "Look, because there is cinnabar in it, there will be such bright red marks, which look a lot like chicken blood."

It was only then that Fang Shiqing noticed that, as he said, the red spots were scattered all over the stone, which was pretty nice.

When collecting yesterday, the light was limited, and he almost went up to knock on the red place, and did not carefully observe the appearance of the mined ore.

"But," he took the stone in his hand, looked over and over, "using my passive skill to identify the name of the item, it's 'cinnabar ore'?... Uh, that's not right."

Take a closer look, the name identified by his passive skill is actually "cinnabar ore?" followed by a meaningful question mark.

"The bloodstone itself contains cinnabar, but it is much rarer than ordinary ore." He Xiangwu couldn't help snatching the stone back. "Brother Fang, you should take care of it! Do you know how valuable the bloodstone is now?"

The bloodstone in reality is a rare stone that is only produced in China, and exists mainly as a work of art or carving material for appreciation.

In recent years, its price has been getting higher and higher, almost reaching sky-high prices. The fineness is relatively good, and the transaction price is more than [-] yuan per gram (RMB).

This kind of stone is a famous seal stone. He Xiangwu likes to carve seals, so of course he knows something about them.

Holding the stone, he took out the sandpaper and polished it carefully, his posture was far more careful than holding gold or diamonds.

"Actually, this is the first time I have touched a real bloodstone," he said while he was busy. "In reality, bloodstones are too expensive. Even if the color is not good, I, a poor student, can't afford it." of."

After sanding off the outer stone film, the large red inside looks very bright under the light.But He Xiangwu quickly pushed it to a place away from light, saying that it should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

Hearing what He Xiangwu said, Fang Shiqing was completely dumbfounded.

This is a completely unknown territory for him.The only thing he thought of was: "It, since it is so valuable in reality, what about in the game? Is it also very valuable in the game?"

"……Uh."

He Xiangwu's hand stopped.He hesitated for a while, then shook his head silently.

"Well, I really don't know. I haven't seen anyone playing stones in this game. Only a market for fans of this kind of thing can develop a corresponding price."

He pointed to the semi-finished seals piled up in the corner of the table, "There are people who carve seals, but they don't seem to choose materials, and most of them are for practical purposes... The stones in the game don't seem to be very valuable."

Fang Shiqing touched the stone, and what was displayed by the passive skill was still the words "cinnabar ore?".

In other words, even if this is really a "blood stone" worth millions in reality, in the game, it can still only be sold at the retail price of ordinary ore...?

How much is a piece of unrefined common ore?

It seems to be 20 yuan.

...This is too bad.

"Well, Brother Fang, let me discuss something with you..."

He Xiangwu looked at him and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Well, anyway, this stone can't be sold for money, can you just... put it with me temporarily? Don't worry, don't worry, I won't cut it up and engrave it behind your back, I just want to keep it for a look. "

For lovers of jade and seals, a good-quality bloodstone is invaluable, and He Xiangwu is no exception.

It doesn't matter to Fang Shiqing, just give it to him.Anyway, the mine is there, and the stones in it are refreshed every day. Whether it is cinnabar or bloodstone, you can just mine it if you want.

However, other cinnabar ores still need He Xiangwu's help to deal with them.

After the ore was processed, Fang Shiqing was startled. The amount of cinnabar in his hand was more than he expected. If it was broken down into small packages sold in stores, there would be more than [-] packages.

After getting the items, he said goodbye to He Xiangwu, left the blacksmith shop, and set off for the library.

It is now close to noon, and there are not many pedestrians on the road.Fang Shiqing was on the sidewalk, clinging to the trees on the sidewalk, walking all the way east.

As he walked, he was thinking about the "bloodstone" just now.

If it is really an expensive and famous stone, and its value cannot be fully utilized, I always feel that it is really a loss.But how can it be sold at a high price?

He Xiangwu said that this kind of thing is only valuable in the corresponding fan market.In Fengyue Town, there should be no one who can buy it at a high price, so... what about places outside Fengyue Town?Will there be collectors who want to buy bloodstone but can't ask for it?

Naturally, Fang Shiqing suddenly thought of Zhao Jun's computer and the website called "Mission Shopping".Through the Internet, things that are not sold in Fengyue Town may also be sold at a particularly high price.

"Well, excuse me?"

Suddenly a soft female voice came from beside him, and at the same time, something grabbed his sleeve.

Fang Shiqing turned around in surprise, only to see a timid girl standing behind her, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Hey...?" He froze for a moment.

This girl was very good-looking, her long black hair was like satin, and her eyes were as clear as glass.Fang Shiqing felt that her face was very familiar for no reason, and couldn't react for a while, so he just stared blankly at her face.

The girl tilted her head and asked softly: "Excuse me, may I ask, if I want to go to the central square, which way should I take?"

"..."

"That," the girl met his gaze, seeming a little puzzled, "Excuse me..."

"Oh," he regained his composure, and said awkwardly, "the square, right? Go west along this road, go south when you see a north-south intersection, go west when you see an east-west intersection, and you'll be there soon. .”

The girl smiled slightly: "Thank you."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked away. Her walking posture was very graceful, but there was also a strange sense of incongruity.

Fang Shiqing always felt that something was wrong, so he kept staring at her back.A gust of wind blew, and the girl raised her hand to hold down her long, disheveled hair. With her movements, the loose sleeves slid down and fell below her elbows, exposing her elbow joints.

"—" Fang Shiqing took a deep breath.

There are obvious gaps where her limbs and joints join, and the joints are spherical.The body that doesn't look like a human, but the body of a doll——

He remembered.

This girl's appearance, her face...isn't it exactly the same as those dolls in Carpenter Wang's house!

Young birthday!The demons in broad daylight!Waiting for the doll to hit the street!Will ask someone for directions!

In the blink of an eye, that beautiful doll girl was gone.The road ahead was empty, and the pedestrians in the distance looked normal, as if she—or, "it", had never appeared.

Fang Shiqing rubbed his eyes desperately, deeply wondering if he was hallucinating.

That puppet just said... it's going to the central square?

——Do you want to follow the past to see the situation?

This option was ruled out by him within a second.

It is said that if you don't die, you won't die. Now that he is alone, he doesn't know anything about it, and he hasn't exchanged information about the puppet with other players. It's too unwise to chase it directly.

Fang Shiqing turned around and ran quickly along the road, the destination was still the library.

In any case, it is necessary to tell others about this abnormality.

After running a few steps, he calmed down somewhat.

The area around the library was as quiet as ever, but there was a man standing near the door, stomping his feet anxiously back and forth.

——It’s Zhang Yu.

Fang Shiqing hesitated for a moment, but still said hello. "Uh, good afternoon, are you here...to return the books?"

"Brother Shiqing!" Unexpectedly, when the other party saw him, a sweet smile appeared on his face, and he leaned over and hugged his arm affectionately, "It can be regarded as waiting for someone! Listen to my brother, it was you who helped me yesterday." The book he borrowed? Thank you so much. Well, can you do me a favor?"

... Withdrawing the foreword, this is not Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu.

"Girl, really, don't call me that, it sounds uncomfortable." Even though he had already had a similar experience, Fang Shiqing still didn't know what to do, and hurriedly pulled his arms away, "Let's talk about something, no need..." No need to move feet.

"Sorry, did I hurt you? I didn't mean to."

Zhang Yu let go of his arm a little bit, and took out a delicate small box from the inventory, with a pink envelope attached to it.

"Well, can you do me a favor? Just, help me bring this... in."

"Eh?? Take it in, you mean, take it into the library?"

Fang Shiqing looked at the pink envelope, not knowing what to say.

"Well," Zhang Yu lowered his head, his face turned red, "You know, just, hand it over to... him."

Does "he" refer to Xiao Fengdi? !

Did you and your brother agree that one will borrow books and the other will give gifts? !

"You..." He opened his mouth, and finally said, "I think it's better to give this kind of thing by yourself."

"No, no, it's not what you think," Zhang Yu said shyly, "This is just an ordinary thank you gift, to thank him for saving my life yesterday..."

Fang Shiqing was startled: "Wait?! Wait, when will he save—" Yesterday morning he came to see the boss, and after that he spent the whole day doing activities together, didn't he see Zhang Yu?

However, the other party did not want to explain.

"It's all up to you from now on! Thank you Brother Shiqing! MUA!"

Zhang Yu blew a kiss, then turned and ran away, never giving Fang Shiqing a chance to refuse.

He looked at the box in his hand helplessly, but he still didn't feel embarrassed to throw it away, so he walked into the library with it.

The manager's seat was empty.

Fang Shiqing walked into the lounge and found Xiao Fengdi leaning on the chair and falling asleep.The book "I fell in love with you only for a moment" was covered on his face, his glasses were still on, and he was swayed by the book, as if he was too sleepy to fall asleep halfway through the book.

He wanted to pick up the book, but he didn't expect that with just a slight movement, the other party woke up immediately.

The moment he opened his eyes, Xiao Fengdi's eyes were very fierce, just like when he didn't get enough sleep.Seeing that it was him, his expression relaxed a lot.

"—Are you here? Sit down."

Xiao Fengdi removed the book and glasses by himself, then pushed the chair beside him and motioned him to sit down.

Fang Shiqing sat down and looked at the other party. He still had deep imprints from the frame of the glasses on his face. This kind of marks appeared on this person's face, which made him look extraordinarily...funny.

"Boss, did you sleep well last night?"

"Didn't sleep at night," the other party replied, probably because of lack of sleep and looked a little cold. "When I came back here, it was already eight o'clock in the morning."

About Bloodstone

In real life, the output of chicken blood stone is low, and it is only produced in specific places in our country.

Although it does contain cinnabar, it is not available in any cinnabar mine, and in reality mining bloodstone is not just a pickaxe.

This is just because it is a "game", so the entire mining and processing process has been simplified, as long as you use relevant skills, you can do anything.The process in reality is actually very complicated (cover your face and laugh)
