084 Luke Card Shop
The last time Yan Chong and Luo Li came to the academy, they also passed by the dusk city, but after leaving the teleportation array, they took a carriage and left the city without having time to enjoy the scenery here.
Yan Chong landed from the sky to the ground, touched his heel three times at the rhythm, and the momentum disappeared immediately.
Before entering the city, the ground was covered with loess and was extremely dry and cracked. Yan Chong stomped his feet gently, and a piece of dust rose up on the ground.
No plant grows on the ground, even if it is just a grass, it is considered the edge of the Crescent Plain, but it still has no vitality at all.
[Element Vision] was turned on along the way, and Yan Chong could see the yellow and black elements entangled under the ground, but the closer they were to Dusk City, the thinner the black elements were.
Generally speaking, such a land that lacks vitality and no water source will slowly evolve into a desert, but the Crescent Plain has always maintained its original appearance, as if it was a mysterious force to maintain it.
"Maybe, the devil's blood was extracted from the Crescent Plain." Yan Chong suddenly had this idea.
"Underground transactions? Selling to orcs? Maybe it's the other side of the empire, it's dark and ugly, and some inside stories that cannot be disclosed." Recalling the rumors that the second prince colluded with orcs among the people, Yan Chong shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
It seems to be affected by the environment of the Crescent Plain. Although the walls of Dusk City are extremely solid and the roads in the city are very wide and flat, worthy of the title of the main city, there is a sense of desolation everywhere.
The pedestrians on the street looked numb, and Yan Chong looked out in the carriage, feeling that what he was playing was a movie screened in black and white film.
Before coming to the teleportation array, Yan Chong suddenly slapped his head: "Oh no, why did you forget about the teleportation fee?"
Since he had not spent money in person along the way, Yan Chong's concept of coins was unknowingly confused.
When we arrived at the ticket purchase hut next to the teleportation array, there were four or five people standing in front of the window.
After waiting for a while, when it was Yan Chong's turn, he stepped forward and asked, "How much does the teleportation fee cost to the Imperial City?"
Behind the window was a chubby woman in her twenties. She looked up at Yan and said lazily: "3 gold 98 silver!"
"Okay, thank you!" Yan Chong said thank you and left directly.
"Who is it? Just ask not to buy it. By the way, what happened just now?" the woman muttered, and suddenly couldn't remember what happened just now.
After frowning and thinking for a while, he raised his head as if he woke up from a dream, looked at the passenger who had been waiting in front of the window, and asked, "Do you buy a ticket?"
After asking a few passers-by, Yan Chong finally found a card store.
"Luke Card Store--Duncheng Branch No. 1"
"I seem to have heard of this name before." Yan Chong stepped into the store.
A thin man in his forties sat behind the counter. When he saw Yan rushing in, he asked, "Welcome to this guest, do you need to buy some cards?"
"I have some cards that I want to sell. Do you buy them here?" Yan Chong said. This is the fastest way he can think of to make money.
There are hundreds of ordinary-level cards and more than ten excellent cards in the Elf Ancient Leaves, and it will be of no impact to sell some.
Cards, excluding the entertainment cards used in [Brave Gladiator Stadium], are relatively expensive things. Even the lowest-level ordinary cards are generally props that professionals will consider purchasing.
"Well, it's OK, but we will check the quality of the card and then buy it at a discount." The man thought about it and said.
"Huh~" Yan Chong breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the other party would disagree, otherwise he would have to go back to the college and find a way to exchange credits for gold coins.
In the college, gold coins cannot be purchased, but credits can be redeemed for gold coins. Of course, it is not the private one. It requires a special department of the college to handle it.
Then, he took out a normal +7 spirit-absorbing card and handed it to the counter.
The man picked up the card and looked at it for a while, then inserted it into an alchemy device with a card slot, pressed several buttons above, and then a holographic image appeared above the machine, with the introduction to the card.
This is an instrument that specializes in identifying cards. A large number of props must be recognized or used before they can be known. Skills like Yan Chong who obtain relevant information are not common.
This is also the reason why cards have base color specifications, which can make people roughly distinguish different cards of different qualities.
In terms of inheriting the information in knowledge, Yan Chong knew that there was a professional called [Appraiser] who had similar abilities, but it was far less comprehensive than [Reading].
Because [Reading] has extensive knowledge of blood inheritance as its foundation, many things can explore the essence through the surface at the cost of consuming a certain amount of mental power.
"A normal level spirit-absorbing card of +7 level has a completeness of 100%, a new quality, privately drawn, the general market price is around 70 silver coins, and the maximum is no more than 1 gold coin." The man said slowly.
"What about the +8, +9 level?" Yan Chong couldn't help asking.
"The quality of the Spirit-Absorbing Card only determines its magic reserve, so the value increase of high-levels is not obvious."
"80 silver coins +8, 90 silver coins +9."
"And, you're drawn privately, so after we acquire, we need to do it again and give us the emblem, which all costs, so we have to buy it at a discount."
"Well, just 50%. Don't think it's too small. It depends on the good quality of the cards you provide. The brand value of our Luke cards is very valuable." It seemed that he was afraid that Yan Chong would think the purchase price was too crappy, the man added.
"In other words, a 50 silver coin?" Yan Chong asked.
"No, no, no, it's 35 silver coins, which is already the highest proportion of our discount acquisition." The man corrected with a serious look on his face.
Yan Chong looked confused. If he sold it at this price, he would naturally be able to collect 10 gold coins, which would be enough for the two teleportation fees to go to Lieyang City, but the card consumption would be relatively large.
"By the way, there is a saying that women and children are the easiest to earn money!" Yan Chong's mind flashed, and he took out an excellent +3 [Beauty] card made when he was bored.
This was originally intended to be used for experiments when he returned to Earth. At that time, he would send it to his mother who was on business trips all year round as a birthday gift. However, he still had the opportunity to repaint it in the future, so he might as well sell it first.
"Hey, this is!" When the man saw the card with a green bottom, his eyes lit up, and he quickly picked it up and inserted it into the card slot of the detection instrument.
A moment later, the card message appears again.
"Excellent + 3 beauty cards are good, they are a best-seller on the mainland. They are complete and of good quality." The man said with satisfaction.
"The market price is around 30 gold coins to 100 gold coins, and it is still a 50% maximum purchase, which is 15 gold coins."
