Chapter 196: Crazy Shopping
Due to the players inexplicably letting go, Gu Xi finally bought thirty ribs that were still covered in flesh and blood.
The quality of these ribs was good, whether placed in the Dragon Bone Laboratory to nurture Death Incarnations or in the Hundred-Arms Giant Cemetery to cultivate the land, both were good choices.
But for some reason, Gu Xi always had the feeling that the player didn't want to sell more ribs to him in the end, rather than running out of such ribs.
Then Gu Xi replenished a batch of cheap munitions from the players, such as spears, arrows, swords, and the like, which were the most abundant items for players who had just come off the battlefield.
These players were different from Gu Xi. Gu Xi had a city waiting for resources, so his demand for weapons and equipment was quite high.
These players didn't have much military force. Without the current battle, they might never have commanded a battle with over a thousand people.
So many weapons and equipment would be wasted for the players. If they didn't want to end up selling them to the blacksmith's shop in bulk, finding a buyer here was the best way to make a profit.
So when the first player put out weapons and equipment, they already began to scramble.
When Gu Xi saw these weapons and equipment, the price was only slightly higher than the purchase price in the blacksmith's shop, between one-tenth and one-fifteenth of the normal price.
In this situation, Gu Xi was no longer just buying; he directly started a sweeping mode.
As long as the quality was good, the price wasn't high, and there weren't any broken swords or knives among the items, Gu Xi would decisively point and say,
"I want all of these."
Then, to the amazement of the onlookers, the city gates of the Death City would open, and these weapons and equipment would be swept away and sent to Aridowei City.
And Gu Xi paid only a little negative energy.
Gu Xi's buying spree ultimately raised the transaction price of munitions by himself.
Seeing the rising prices of weapons, Gu Xi shook his head, gave up the idea of continuing to sweep, and prepared to put away the city gates and return to the Dispersed Immortal Garden.
At this moment, a voice came from a distance.
"Huh, why is there a city gate here?"
"Are you stupid? That's one of the Three Divine Skills, the Death City. It seems like a big shot is here; let's go check it out."
"Sure, let's go take a look."
Hearing these voices, Gu Xi knew that players from the other two places were coming over.
Gu Xi had no intention of being a monkey on display. He put away the city gates, held the Cold Wind Staff, and turned to leave.
Gu Xi would rather spend the time going to Aridowei City to place his newly acquired troops.
Just as Gu Xi was turning, the voice spoke again.
"Hurry up, don't you see there's a ready buyer? Take out the large building design we got from the last mission. He has the Death City, which means he has a city, and this thing is best sold to him. How can we be so slow-witted?"
Hearing this, Gu Xi paused.
He turned toward the voice and saw three undead mages approaching, one female and two male.
It was obvious that the female undead mage was their leader, wearing a white mage robe and holding a staff, with a thick book under her left arm.
From her attire, it was clear she was a curse-type undead mage, mainly attacking with spells such as corpse explosion, bone spikes, or curses.
Following her was an undead mage wearing heavy scale armor, holding a scythe with a string of human heads hanging from the blade.
He was the combat commander of the trio. Though he was also called an undead mage, he could fight at the front lines during battles.
There were indeed many such undead mages, especially those who commanded various mid-level troops.
New undead mages often didn't realize that melee combat was the true romance of mages.
The last undead mage was shorter, with messy hair under his hood, and many bottles and jars hanging from his waist.
Clearly, he focused on poison and plague or possibly voodoo-related abilities.
This type of undead mage was relatively niche and hard to train but had terrifyingly strange attack methods.
Encountering a fully developed voodoo undead mage was like falling into a giant spider web, with countless tricks making them hard to defend against.
Such a combination of three was quite rare among undead mages.
Normally, an undead mage team should include a healer.
But this team wasn't Gu Xi's, and he had no stance to judge them.
At this time, the female undead mage noticed Gu Xi and stepped forward to ask,
"Excuse me, were you the one who opened the Death City gates just now?"
Gu Xi nodded nonchalantly.
Seeing this, the female undead mage immediately spoke with interest.
"Hello, I'm Lei Fengfeng, a Level 4 undead mage. I have something to discuss with you."
"Gu Xi, Level 4 undead mage."
"I just saw the city gate behind you. Do you possess one of the Three Divine Skills, the Death City? You have a city of your own, right?"
Lei Fengfeng was very straightforward, speaking like a machine gun.
As soon as she saw Gu Xi, she directly asked everything.
Gu Xi initially wanted to ask why it mattered to her.
But finally realized that Lei Fengfeng meant no harm; she just had this way of speaking.
"Yes, I have a city of my own."
"That's great. Let me tell you, we previously completed a mission and got a large building. It's not a blueprint; it's a large building that can be used directly once placed on a plot.
Initially, I wanted to sell it to Extreme Frozen Sea, but their price was unworthy of the item.
Not to mention, it's a large building, and they didn't even offer enough to build one.
We naturally wouldn't sell it to them, but among the undead mages we know, no one else has a city, so they don't want it either.
We thought of keeping it, but the building's attributes don't suit our style.
Moreover, we don't have land, and if we build it in the wild, it could easily be taken by others, so it's been delayed until now.
Seeing you, I feel this is perfect for you. Come take a look; it won't hurt to look."
