Chapter 325 Helian Ye: Poverty is the Rainy SeasonUpon hearing this, Chu Xuange thought of the guy who played with watermarks and asked, "You want to buy it for him?"No, not at all.Pei Hening shook his head and said, "That's his own business. I won't do it for him. I'm just curious about the price of forging materials. 20 silver coins seems a bit low."Chu Xuange handed her a pair of lambskin gloves, frowning: "It's a waste for a beginner to use good materials; 20 silver coins is too much."Pei Hening put on gloves and handed him the black ore."The price of ore is linked to its quality, size, etc. For example, this piece, this piece, and this piece have a lot of impurities. Although they are usable, they are troublesome to process. The price is around 700 silver coins."Pei Hening's eyes widened; she had never expected it to be so expensive."It's so expensive.""The entry barrier for weapon forging is not high, but to master it, the resources required can be described as astronomical, even more expensive than learning pharmaceuticals."In the previous timeline, Chu Xuange knew that weapon forging was very profitable, but the reason he never learned it was simply because he was penniless.Pei Hening suddenly couldn't sit still. With mountains of gold and silver laid out in front of her, only a fool would rest!"Let's not waste any more time, let's quickly pick out the ore."Seeing her anxiety, Chu Xuange smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it together."That's what he said, but he knew that Pei Hening had never systematically come into contact with minerals, and her understanding of minerals was only a few words mentioned in the "Encyclopedia of Species". Therefore, he didn't have any expectations, just thinking that it would be good for her to broaden her horizons.While the two of them were busy, [Get Rich, Get Rich, Get Rich] finally managed to get rid of the alien who called himself a demon.He circled the city tower twice but couldn't find the person who had been following him. He couldn't help but mutter a few curses under his breath.Damn it, why did he have to lose his luck at this crucial moment, and now he's being ripped off by the demons?With a gloomy expression, he found a corner to squat down, took out a black jar containing hundreds of fortune sticks, shook it in his hand, and soon a fortune stick was shaken out.He reached out and picked up the slip of paper. The profound inscription on it flashed and turned into a player's name: [Don't put firecrackers in my pocket].[Get rich, get rich, get rich] silently memorized the name [Don't stuff firecrackers into my pocket].The limitations of A-level talents are too great, making it imperative to deprive other players of their luck value to upgrade their talent levels.——Following the location given by Pei Hening, Helian Ye found Luoying Alley. This place was so hidden that he probably wouldn't have been able to find it without the location information.Pei Hening is truly skilled and daring, unafraid of encountering bad people.Helian Ye suppressed the random thoughts in his mind, lifted his foot and walked forward, intending to find a restaurant to eat at.He took a few steps forward, then turned back. A fragrance shop? It must have perfume.He stepped inside; he needed to buy some perfumes that would reflect his taste.Helian Ye walked in and immediately saw the stylish fragrance bottle displayed in the center of the shop, with its orange bottle and lion-shaped cap.Just by looking at his appearance, it suits him perfectly."Guest, do you like our prized possession, Power Struggle?"Helian Ye then noticed that a tree tribesman wearing a fragrance shop uniform had appeared next to him.He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can I try the fragrance?"The tree-dweller nodded hesitantly: "Please wait a moment."Other customers in the store were puzzled: "You can try out fragrances in a store? How come I didn't know that?""Is this person a member of the store?""The problem is that the staff didn't refuse this person's request to try the fragrance, so what's the point of me buying a fragrance that I don't like and that just gathers dust?""That's exactly what I meant."Helian Ye naturally heard their murmurs and raised an eyebrow: "You've got a lot of money."The guests:...That hurts.A moment later, the assistant store manager, dressed in a platinum-colored work uniform, came out, holding a small bottle of "Power Struggle" in her hand."Who wants to try the fragrance?"Helian Ye's gaze fell on the fragrance in the assistant store manager's hand: "I, I want to try the fragrance."The assistant store manager walked over to him, and a transparent oval film enveloped them both.The assistant store manager took out a small square piece of fragrance testing fabric with a lion's head printed on it and handed it to him.Helian Ye took it and, following the assistant store manager's instructions, held the fabric by two corners and spread it out.The assistant store manager opened the bottle cap of the power struggle and gently shook it under the fabric.Helian Ye felt his mind clear instantly, and his fatigue vanished. He subconsciously opened his personal panel and was shocked to see that there were three new positive buffs and their duration.The assistant store manager said, "Alright, let's conduct the fragrance retention test now."Helian Ye could clearly feel the rich floral scent on the fabric gradually fading, and the duration of the positive buff was also rapidly fading: "Is this simulating the flow of time?"The assistant store manager nodded: "This fragrance lasts for 48 hours."Then, she introduced the product to Helian Ye."You can buy it if you like, but we only have four bottles in stock right now."Helian Ye liked it very much, but the price made him hesitate. Thirteen gold coins for one hundred milliliters, which works out to 1,300 copper coins per milliliter, which was a bit expensive for him at the moment.Three or four months ago, he never imagined he would be penniless one day.Indeed, maintaining beauty comes at a high price.Helian Ye not only bought it, but also sold out the entire stock of this fragrance.On the recommendation of the assistant store manager, I picked out two light fragrances as gifts for Pei Hening and Chu Xuange.As he walked out of the store carrying the perfume he had just bought, he couldn't help but facepalm.Poverty was like the rainy season that ran through his life; it was miserable, utterly miserable. He even had to be stingy to buy a few bottles of perfume.Not far away, a person wearing a drab gray magic robe and a hood glanced at him seemingly unintentionally.Pei Hening and his companion met Helian Ye and his two companions again on the return trip in a small crystal sightseeing vehicle.Wu Nanfei leaned back in his chair, watching Helian Ye poking the head of a mechanical chick figurine.Just as Wu Nanfei was about to look away, he saw the mechanical chick figurine suddenly spread its wings and fly into the carriage. "Holy crap, this mechanical chick is alive!"Upon hearing this, the mechanical chick's data froze for a moment, its flight balance was disrupted, and it flew erratically. It loudly proclaimed its identity: "My model is Mechanical Rainbow Bird! Mechanical Rainbow Bird is not some mechanical chick."Helian Ye seized the opportunity to grab it and pressed it back into its place as a decoration: "Why didn't you greet us this morning, you mechanical chick?""I thought you'd forgotten about us."The mechanical chick turned its head slightly, avoiding looking at Helian Ye, clearly still holding a grudge about being called a chick.[The crabapple blossoms swaying in the wind] looked at the mechanical chick, then at Helian Ye: "Childish."Chu Xuange sat next to Pei Hening, absentmindedly playing with her fingers, not participating in their discussion, silently calculating how to maximize the profits from the ores they had acquired.Wu Nanfei turned her attention to Pei Hening and asked, "Where did you go? After the teacher came back, Haitang and I also went out for a stroll, but we didn't run into you at all."Has the dream returned?The betting results should be out by now."I just wandered around. The main city of the wandering city is as big as six capital cities. It's not surprising that I didn't run into anything, right?"Pei Hening gave a perfunctory reply, took out Pingyuan's tablet, and opened the Myriad Races Forum again.She had expected the pinned post to be an analysis of Meng Shi and Lin Qi's combat strength, but instead it was a post about Titian leading the Elven race to capture the Dark Cultists.[Highway Evening News (System)]: At 3:06 PM today, Lord Titian organized the Elven race to carry out an operation to capture Dark Cultists.
