The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 137: Book Collector

Looking at the spiritual base value, he is about to become a fourth-level psionicist. Leo is a little excited, but he is more concerned about how good or bad side effects that mysterious existence has just brought to him.

After carefully checking the other project templates in the personal attribute interface, Leo found no other abnormal data changes, which also made him slightly relieved, and then closed the personal attribute interface, went to the edge of the platform again, activated Lingshi. Look at the lake.

As he expected, the mysterious existence has receded, and all we see in front of us is the lake turned into a thick fog, but the remaining psionic waves of the mysterious existence have not yet dissipated.

To this end, Leo Concentration Network collects various data of this psionic wavelength and establishes a file in the database so that if it encounters this mysterious existence again in the future, it can be discovered in advance.

"Is it the night god's dream consciousness?" After the last trace of the psionic wavelength disappeared in the energy field, Leo with a solemn look withdrew the spiritual network and stopped the data collection of the para-brain system. Then he became confused and instinctively. He made a guess, but soon he shook his head, denying the guess.

Although the mysterious existence in the lake is very powerful, from the point of view that Leo can resist and calmly stimulate psionic skills, the other party must not have reached the omega level, and can’t even match the real eye of the miriah suburban hunting ground. compared to. It is estimated that it should be only slightly stronger than the few most powerful dream spirits he found in the forest outside the city, which is almost equivalent to the psionicists of the sixth or seventh level.

As for why Leo only confronted it for a few seconds, the daily value of his will fell by 11 points. This may be related to the psionic power of the other party and the surrounding environment, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the other party’s true strength. .

After analyzing the situation, Leo temporarily put the mysterious existence in the lake aside and gave it to the vice brain system for attention. After turning around, he turned to look at the town reflected in the moonlight in front of him, walked inside, and soon disappeared. In a narrow alley.

For Boris, since entering the month of this year, the things he encountered have been unlucky, first because of a small gap, damage to a set of stoves, the job was lost, and then a family matter that has almost been negotiated, the other party suddenly He unilaterally said that it was invalid. In the past two days, he has checked out the signs of ancestralization in his body, and a pair of small tentacles have grown out of his back.

Those who wish to gain merits by clearing forest strange monsters are extremely eager for their ancestralization, because only those with ancestralization are eligible to be guards, and they have the power to kill strangers, and they can become an identity in the city by virtue of merits Noble status.

But for a person like Boris who does not want to take risks, ancestralization is definitely a disaster, because once ancestorization is formed, he must become a guard, he must leave the safe town on the lake, and he must go outside to face it Those terrible dangers may even be sent to the front line like the fog area to guard the castle.

Therefore, when Boris discovered that his body had signs of ancestralization, he chose to hide it and found ways to remove the ancestralization.

Fortunately, there was a trace of luck left in him. When he felt desperate, a friend who had worked with a spring manufacturing factory told him a secret that a shop in the 67th district sold a potion. This potion The ancestralization in people can disappear.

It is said that this kind of potion is mainly used for the reproduction of offspring of some ancestral people with special shapes, because some parts of these ancestral people will no longer be suitable for ordinary people. Ordinary people breed offspring.

For those who have been completely ancestralized, the effect of this potion is only temporary. Once the efficacy has passed, the disappeared ancestralization will appear again, but for those who have not completed the ancestralization, especially Boris For those who have just emerged, the effects of this potion are permanent. As long as you take this potion, you can completely remove the ancestralization, and there will be no ancestralization in the future.

Although the vast majority of people in Hushang Town want ancestralization, there are still many people who are used to this peaceful life and do not want any change, so this kind of potion is also very marketable, and demand exceeds supply. The price has always been high.

Boris had heard of this kind of potion before, but he didn’t pay attention because he thought he couldn’t use it. Now when he hears this kind of potion from a friend, he asks the shop where he sold it and immediately goes to ask about it. the price of.

The price of fifty Union Coins is definitely a sky-high price for Boris. According to this currency value, he can buy a single room between the 20th district and the 29th district. According to his calculation of three Huzhen coins per day when he was working, it took five or six years to complete the accumulation without eating or drinking.

Feeling desperate, Boris walked aimlessly on the streets of the 33rd district. He walked from the lowest floor to the seventh floor. He didn’t know what he was looking for, but he always felt his chance. Somewhere hidden here.

District 33 is the largest family market in the town of Seventh Lake. The people in the town will bring various items that are not needed in their homes to sell or return here. Because the town council will not tax here, some towns The family workshop will also put the gadgets made at home to sell here.

Because the trading atmosphere here is very peculiar and very interesting, some aristocratic nobles living in the 20th district who are bored and disguised are also disguised and brought out some items to come here to trade.

These noble lords seem to be not interested in the value of their traded items. They prefer to hear the items they traded, and how much movement has occurred in these civilians, so in this market, we will always see some amazing valuables from time to time. Items, and whether these items can be obtained in the end depends on good eyesight.

Because working in the spring manufacturing factory for many years, Boris knows some high-value strong springs, and for ordinary people, these strong springs are no different from ordinary springs, so when they are sold, they will also be sold together.

In the process of shopping, he was very lucky to find three military-grade 19-winding strong springs, and the total value of these three 30 yuan was only two lakes. It can be said that Make a big profit.

It's just that his good luck seemed to stop there, and then he never found anything that seemed to him valuable. He also thought about buying things that don’t seem to be worth anything, just like other people’s luck, maybe one or two of them can be found, but in the end his reasoning prevailed, and he didn’t make such regrets. behavior.

After shopping for a while, Boris felt that there would be no discovery if he continued to shop. It would be better to find a buyer now to sell these three powerful springs on hand, accumulate a little capital, and look for it on the higher floors. .

However, just when Boris made the decision, a commotion suddenly came out from a small room not far away. He looked and found that there were twenty or thirty people gathered outside the small room, and there were more than a dozen people. Because of the exclamation, they gathered over there.

With strong curiosity, Boris also stepped up and squeezed to the front with his strong body to see clearly the situation in the room.

I saw that in this small room, a tall, brawny man with a black skin disease wearing a hunting suit, wearing a triangle cap, and wearing a beard, pulled out three alliances from a wooden box beside him. The coin was handed to an old man, and then a book was placed in the wooden box on the other side from the old man's hand.

Boris, who was curious about the scene in front of him, quickly inquired about the situation next to him. The black-skinned man sitting inside was originally a merchant from Fifth Lake Shangzhen, this time mainly for Fifth Lake Shangzhen One of the scholars bought some old books.

It is said that in order to facilitate portability, the merchant did not bring any money, but brought ten bottles of very rare therapeutic medicaments and sold the sky-high price of five thousand Union Coins, and now he is planning to use all the fifty thousand Union Coins. To purchase books, three days have passed and more than 3,600 alliance coins have been spent, and more than 2,000 books have been acquired, which is a big deal.

Through the discussion of the people around him, Boris heard that the person originally collected all kinds of books, from family novels, to mechanical research, from lumberjack manuals, to whistle, there are three hundred ways, in short, any writing, binding He collected everything in a book.

However, this approach seems to be just to attract the attention of the residents of the town. Once the news spread, he had requirements for the purchased books, such as the manuscripts of ancient books, any of the ten towns, and Yinyue City. Books related to mysterious organizations, any books related to strange things, forests and foggy areas, etc.

From the conversations of people around, it is not difficult to hear that some seemingly useless books can sell very high prices. For example, a diary of a night watch sold a hundred alliance coins, and there is also a book at the same price. Hundreds of years ago, the shaman's scrapbooks, and some strange books also sold twenty to fifty union coins.

Hearing this, Boris breathed a lot. Although he didn’t like to read books, his father liked reading and ancient books very much. After his death, he left a box of early collections All kinds of books, he feels that those books can sell hundreds of alliance coins.

Thinking of this, Boris no longer waited and watched, squeezed hard out of the crowd, quickly climbed to the top of the building, from the suspension bridge to his house in the 57th district.

Boris, who had returned to his home, did not close the door. He ran directly to the bedroom, climbed up to a small loft he built, rummaged through a pile of debris, and soon found a big old box.

After that, he vigorously moved the box out of a pile of debris, placed it in the middle of the bedroom, opened the box, and saw a well-preserved ancient book inside. It was hard to hide the excitement in his heart.

After closing the box again, he found several bundles of ropes to tie the box, carried the half-height box on his back, and hurried out of the room.

When Boris was carrying a large suitcase and returned to the small room in the 33rd district home market, there were a lot fewer people gathered there than before, but there were still some people holding some old books to the dealer Pick.

Seeing this, he was not in a hurry, but waited quietly with a large book box. He didn’t step up until the last person who traded with a merchant took dozens of Union Coins, and he would carry it on his back. The book box was placed in front of the other party, and then opened, saying: "How much can I sell these old books and ancient books?"

The other party didn't answer immediately, but wiped the lens of the glasses with a cloth, and then took a clip to take a book out of the box and placed it carefully on the table in front of him.

Although the other party picked up the book with a clip and did not touch it directly with his hand, Boris still frowned instinctively and felt a little sick in his heart.

Like most ordinary people in Shizhen and Yinyue City, Boris has a natural rejection of people with black skin disease, and even disgusted. If it is not for money, he is not willing to suffer from black skin here. Appears in front of the sick person because he feels that the gas breathed by the other person may infect him.

Even if the wizarding and pharmacist associations in Silvermoon City have stated more than once that melanoma is just a general skin disease and will not cause any infection, the cognition that has been fixed for many years cannot be changed in a while.

After the other party took out all the books~www.readwn.com~ carefully read the first few pages of each book, and then quickly put out some of the books that were or were not needed and throw them back into the book box.

Seeing a book on the table rapidly diminishing, Boris became a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't care about his aversion to this trader. He leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "These are all ancient books. Shaoguan is out of print..."

"No matter how good the book is, I don't want it." Before Boris finished, the other party used a very fluent Yinyuecheng accent and said, "If you come two days earlier, maybe I will still accept it, but now …You are late!” As he talked, he threw back several unneeded books into the bookcase. After only four books remained on the desk, he stopped and said, “The four I’m asking for this book. For every fifty federal coins, take it away without bargaining or selling it."

"Sell, why not sell!" The high price of each fifty-federal currency far exceeded Boris's expectations. Where would he bargain again, he quickly agreed.

Seeing Boris agree, the other party quickly scooped out a pool of federal currency from the box full of coins with a spoon, and then counted two hundred and gave it to Boris.

Boris took the two hundred federal coins and turned away excitedly. Even the box of leftover books on the ground was not going to be moved back, but when he left, he did not find a few guarding in the small room. The outsiders exchanged glances with each other, and several people followed.

"The book collection is stopped this time, and I hope to receive valuable books from everyone next time I come." At that time, the merchant looked at the few federal currencies left in the box and stood up. He looked at the lively person outside the room and then closed the door directly, while others who were unable to complete the transaction stood at the door and complained a few words, and soon dispersed.
